The Chinese operating subsidiary has filed an amendment to a previously filed financial statement that resolves the previous asset recognition discrepancy.

NewMarket China, Inc. (OTCBB: NMCHE) is an independently listed subsidiary of NewMarket Technology, Inc. On April 20, 2007 NewMarket disclosed an asset recognition discrepancy within NewMarket China operations involving an amount less than $1 million. On April 23, 2007 the Company released an open letter to shareholders providing more detail on the asset discrepancy issue. On April 25, 2007, NewMarket CEO Philip Verges and CFO Philip Rauch reviewed the asset discrepancy in a Webcast conference call in addition to providing an update on the Company's progress to resolve the issue.

NewMarket Technology CEO Philip Verges issued a follow-up letter to shareholders today to further explain the resolution of the asset recognition discrepancy and update shareholders on the related additional pending financial reports to be filed within the next few days. The letter to shareholders is contained in its entirety within this release.

Dear Fellow Shareholders -

Last week I asked for your patience while the Company resolved an asset recognition discrepancy we had discovered within our Chinese operating subsidiary. Today, I am pleased to report that the discrepancy has been resolved and disclosed in an amendment to the original SEC filing where the initial error occurred.

While the asset recognition discrepancy represented a value less than $1 million, I know this issue nevertheless tested shareholders confidence. Every day that went by further tested patience and confidence. As I stated in my letter last week, I recognize my responsibility for the reported discrepancy and sincerely express my regret for having tested shareholder patience and confidence. In spite of the long hours and dedicated efforts of a number NewMarket staff and key third party professionals, the resolution still required more time than we otherwise expected. I extend my thanks to all shareholders for their patience and continued patience.

The asset recognition discrepancy resulted in a delay of the Chinese subsidiary annual report. The filing of the annual report without the previous discrepancy resolved would have perpetuated the error. Now that the issue is resolved, we can proceed with filing the annual report for the Chinese subsidiary (NewMarket China, Inc.) on SEC Form 10Ksb. Shareholders can anticipate the NewMarket China annual report within days.

The resolution of the discrepancy has also made it necessary to review the previously filed NewMarket Technology, Inc. annual report filed on SEC Form 10K. The correction does impact the NewMarket Technology, Inc. financial report and an amendment to that report is pending. The amended annual report will include a small number of minor adjustments, however the pending amended annual report will include an anticipated 10% increase to previously reported net income. The NewMarket Technology amended annual report will be filed promptly after the NewMarket China annual report is filed.

Considering the unfortunate course of events surrounding the timely reporting of NewMarket's 2006 Annual Report, I imagine shareholders are concerned about the timely filing of the upcoming first quarter results. There is no current intention or need to extend the first quarter reporting period. NewMarket Technology, Inc. and NewMarket China, Inc. have every intention of filing the quarterly reports on time.

2006 was a solid performance year for NewMarket, however we are aware our reporting delay distracted market attention from that solid performance. We are pleased to report NewMarket's 2006 financial and operational performance has been recently reviewed by third party analysts and reports from these analysts are forthcoming. These research reports have been delayed due to the delay in NewMarket's overall annual report. We anticipate the analyst reports following the filing of all pending financial reports.

Sincerely,
Philip M. Verges
CEO & Chairman
NewMarket Technology, Inc.
