NewMarket Technology, Inc. Reiterates Long-Term Value and Improving Milestone ROI Potential With Company on Track to Increase Profitable Revenue Beyond $100 Million

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 17, 2009) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NWMT) today released a statement from CEO Philip Verges regarding the Company's plans to deliver a long-term return on investment in combination with delivering ongoing opportunities for periodic shorter horizon returns on smaller investments in milestone successes.

Mr. Verges' statement is included in its entirety below:

"NewMarket Technology continues to build long-term value for shareholders. We believe our third quarter financial report will demonstrate the company's improving operations: revenue is growing, the percentage of revenue from recurring revenue streams is increasing, operating margins are improving and emerging market operations are posting record profits.

"We believe our current share price does not come close to reflecting the Company's fundamental financial performance. Beacon Equity Research recently reviewed NewMarket and suggested a speculative buy with a target $1.42 pps. We believe the discrepancy between share price and fundamental financial performance is due in part to the dynamics of the over-the-counter markets that make it extremely difficult to realize a return on investment by simple long-term share price appreciation resulting from fundamental financial growth. We continue in our efforts to position the Company in a manner to enhance the opportunity for long-term share price appreciation but have also complemented our efforts to deliver a long-term return with a dividend strategy. We believe NewMarket has tremendous long-term return on investment potential through our previously announced dividend strategy.

"Our most recent initiative to enhance the potential for long-term share price appreciation has experienced a challenge today. We have been pursuing an application to the OTCQX which requires a minimum bid price of $0.25 be maintained for 90 days. Our current share price is below $0.25. We are discussing the situation with our OTCQX Designated Advisor for Disclosure (DAD). However, the OTCQX has published new rules effective February 1, 2010 that includes a lower minimum bid price of $.10 be maintained for 90 days. We will keep you apprised of the discussion with our Designated Advisor for Disclosure.

"While the share price has slipped below the current OTCQX required minimum, the trading activity appears to be establishing a liquidity point. While the share price does not reflect what management believes to be a fair representation of the Company's fundamental financial value, market participants appear to be demonstrating an increased interest in trading the common stock of NewMarket at a share price less than $0.25. As trading volume increases, the opportunity for periodic returns on small investments over a short horizon triggered by the Company's milestone successes improves.

"The founders and management at NewMarket are dedicated to delivering a long-term return to investors. We believe that long-term return includes apprising investors of the potential for short horizon returns on smaller investments in periodic milestone successes. We see the milestone investment opportunity showing signs of potential improvements. We remain committed to our dividend strategy and delivering a long-term return."
