NewMarket Technology, Inc. Announces Encouraging 4th Quarter Sales Progress While Management Remains Vigilant Monitoring the Current Global Economic Conditions

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - November 13, 2008) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NMKT) today announced continued strong 4th quarter sales progress. Due to current global economic concerns, the Company previously announced proactive measures to defend against possible challenges that could be presented by the current global economic environment. However, management anticipates that the pending 3rd quarter financial report will demonstrate continued revenue and net income growth and that to date; 4th quarter sales remain strong.

"NewMarket is on track to report record sales in 2008," said Philip Verges, NewMarket CEO. "At this stage, we are confident that NewMarket will report the highest annual revenue in its history for 2008. We are delighted that the Company's sales remain strong despite the dismal global economy. Nevertheless, we cannot expect the Company to remain insulated from the global economy. We may be fortunate and finish 2008 without experiencing a significant impact from the prevailing economy. However, the Company will probably have to deal with one or more issues that may arise from the global economic concerns. While the financial media has made us all accustomed to considering corporate operations in three-month segments, we remain focused on a longer term view. We expect NewMarket to have a record sales year in 2008, but we continue to look ahead and plan for 2009 and 2010. We are historically an aggressive growth Company and we do not plan to stop our aggressive growth plans, but our strategy as to how we achieve aggressive growth will have to adapt to current economic conditions. In the near future we will be announcing a virtual shareholder annual town hall. At that town hall meeting, we will present our plans for managing continued long-term growth through the likely tumultuous economic conditions ahead of us all over the next year or two."
