Management Unveils Plan to Achieve $100 Million in Profitable Annualized Revenue by Summer 2005; CEO Outlines Plan in Open Letter to Shareholders
NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT) today announced plans to achieve $100 million in annualized sales by mid 2005. In an open letter to shareholders, the CEO, Philip Verges introduces the Company's innovative high-tech business model designed specifically to thrive in the Micro-Cap Market. Mr. Verges goes on to outline management's plan to reach a profitable $100 million in annualized revenue from the current $40 million in annualized revenue. The letter is included in its entirety within this press release.
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
With the acquisition of LOGICORP announced on August 3rd, NewMarket Technology is well within reach of achieving its $50 million revenue run rate and $20 million booked revenue objectives by year end 2004. With five full months left in the year and over $10 million in our sales pipeline today, we are confident we will meet, if not exceed our 2004 revenue projections. We have made strategic investments to expand our operations from the $2.3 million in revenue reported in 2003 to the current $40 million in annualized revenue. These investments are reflected as losses in our quarterly financial reports. We have published our intention to demonstrate the return on these investments by reestablishing operational profitability by year end. We are running ahead of our forecasted operational profit improvements and are confident NewMarket will have no issue in achieving its reestablished profitability goal on time.
How it all fits together -- An Innovative Business Model and Micro-Cap Strategy
In the technology investment void left by the collapse of the Dot Com IPO market, NewMarket has worked diligently to build a new technology investment paradigm in the Micro-Cap market. While the tenets of the Dot Com IPO market were the life-time-value-of-a-customer, rapid and broad first-to-market penetration and a corresponding $100 million dollar plus Initial Public Offering, the tenets of our Micro-Cap strategy are test market roll-outs of new technology, support service economies of scale and much smaller periodic public investments to support just-in-time capital requirements. Technology investors enjoyed the substantial pre-IPO private investment opportunity leading to double and triple digit returns. The size of the Micro-Cap investment is far less substantial then the pre-IPO investment opportunity, but the rate of return potential is the same. Accordingly, for a business model to be attractive to a technology investor in a Micro-Cap market, the model will have to make up for the reduced investment size by presenting multiple smaller investment opportunities. The NewMarket business model is still progressing, but this is exactly where we are going -- a single business model with multiple equity investment opportunities bearing high rate of return potential. The first four key aspects of our business model outline how NewMarket can create multiple small, high rate of return equity investment opportunities:
1. Identify and acquire early stage technology companies (We look specifically for IP communication proprietary technology properties).
2. Incrementally invest to refine the acquired proprietary technology for a specific market sector (Today we concentrate on the Telecommunications, Healthcare and Homeland Security market sectors).
3. Concentrate initial sales efforts on focused test market opportunities and then expand test to validate market viability and profitability.
4. Once validated, spin out the proprietary technology into a next stage, standalone public company that creates a new high rate of return equity investment opportunity and correspondingly supports an expanded business plan for the specific proprietary technology.
NewMarket Technology has recently initiated our first spin-out. We have built a robust Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) capability and established a test market proving the viability of the offering. We are now executing on a plan to create what will essentially be an equity dividend for NewMarket shareholders as they will receive stock in a new public company. At the same time, we create a new high potential rate of return equity investment opportunity for the technology investment community at large. We are accelerating our ability to provide technology investors with a high potential rate of return equity investment opportunity through our affiliate marketing partners program. In addition to our acquired proprietary technologies, we are partnering with other proprietary IP communication technology companies that have products we believe we can re-sell through our Telecommunication, Healthcare and Homeland Security market sector concentrations. NewMarket has established an affiliate equity position (20% ownership or greater) with three such marketing partners today and will shortly have a fourth in the affiliate marketing partners program. NewMarket re-sells the affiliate partners' technologies, as well as the services, to integrate and support their offerings. The partnership agreement also empowers NewMarket to manage the public listing of the affiliate partner. The affiliate partner program in turn creates a second avenue for equity dividend opportunities for NewMarket shareholders and multiple high potential rate of return equity investment opportunities for the technology investment community at large. Smaller equity investments, but more of them -- this is what we believe will be the mantra of the next high tech investment wave. We believe the Micro-Cap market will be the venue for the next high tech investment wave and we intend to be a trendsetter.
Economies of Scale and Out of Favor Systems Integrator Acquisitions
All technology products, new or old, require support services. Customers need training on a new technology, they need the technology integrated into their work environment, they need someone to call when they have an issue with the technology and they want the technology to be updated to include new features and to be compatible with the new phones, computers or handhelds they plan to buy during the next 24 months. In order to optimize our ability to efficiently utilize investment dollars to refine and make market proving sales of early technologies, we are including an economy of scale aspect in our business model by building a single support services organization to support all three of our market sector concentrations, all of our in-house proprietary technology offerings and the products of our affiliate marketing partners. In addition to the support service economies of scale we also gain an often-overlooked but essential talent in the sale of new technologies. While new technologies have been trialed in a test environment, they inherently have not been tested in a live business environment. The conditions of a live business environment are difficult, if not impossible to duplicate in a test environment. Accordingly, the technology support services that support new technologies are critical and very different from those general support services contracted to support incumbent technologies. We are building a very specialized technology support services organization specifically geared to the unique requirements of emerging technology rollouts. To accelerate the development of our technology support service capacity, we have set out to consolidate the assets of several acquired systems integration companies. We have concentrated our acquisition efforts on systems integration companies that might be considered out of favor. NewMarket management has an extensive systems integration background with my own experience at Electronic Data Systems (NYSE:EDS) as just one example of that overall background. Instead of paying a premium to acquire systems integration companies, we have concentrated on better priced, out of favor companies where we believe we can bring NewMarket's systems integration background to bear in combining the best aspects of several firms. In addition to building a best of breed emerging technology support services organization through the consolidation of otherwise out of favor systems integration companies, we have also established strategic geographic footholds through our acquisitions. New technologies generally replace old technologies. Old technologies are more often then not sold by large brand name Goliaths. Where possible, we would rather avoid the conflict with a Goliath than take a David strategy of replacing an incumbent technology solution with our new emerging technology solution. Outside of North America exist several high-growth developing economies not saturated by brand name Goliaths. Specifically, we have targeted the Asia Pacific region and Latin America. Accordingly we have acquired systems integration companies in Singapore and Venezuela. Above, I listed the first four key aspects of our business model that pertained to our Micro-Cap market strategy, below are the fifth and sixth aspects of our business model that pertain to our technology support service strategy:
5. Maintain the support service economies of scale by retaining support service contract functions at NewMarket Technology.
6. Build service and sales capacity in developing economies oversees to take advantage of reduced labor expense and to sell into fast growing economic regions with less brand name competition than in North America.
Trendsetters and Market Leaders
NewMarket has set out to establish a standard for the next generation of technology innovation. We have chosen to be trendsetters. We know this is not an easy path. The financial market that technology innovation depends on is resistant to change. Investment professionals typically look for historical trends and have difficulty assessing emerging trends. The naysayers are often times far more vocal than the watch-and-see optimists. Such criticism tests both the resolve of management and shareholders alike. As a Micro-Cap company, we have started on the OTCBB. In addition to enduring the unique challenges of a trendsetter, we also endure those challenges common to the OTCBB. While the OTCBB is an ideal exchange for a Micro-Cap strategy, trading activity increases are regularly rewarded with hedging abuse. The plan for NewMarket is long-term. For the last two years, we have concentrated on building the NewMarket platform. The investment return opportunities have not yet begun in earnest. The NewMarket business foundation is well underway. As we have now put the 2004 financial objectives well within our reach, we are looking ahead to 2005. We expect to at least have achieved a profitable $50 million revenue run rate by year end 2004. With our foreign sales and service centers established and our organic sales pipeline beginning to grow in response to our organizational ability to support larger contracts, we are setting our sights on a profitable $100 million revenue run rate by the end of next summer. Management optimism and resolve are resilient as it is clear to us that we are succeeding in the execution of our plan and building shareholder value. We are more confident then ever in the plan. We are committed to establishing a new standard for the next generation of technology innovation. Again, we know the path is not easy, but management and shareholders alike will benefit as we continue to build this Company's revenue and profits. We enthusiastically welcome your interest and support in the NewMarket vision.

CEO Reaffirms 2004 Forecast for $50 Million in Annualized Revenue and $20 Million in Booked Revenue; Encourages Shareholders to Request Paper Certificates
NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT) today released a letter to shareholders to introduce the recent NewMarket name change and corresponding symbol change on the OTCBB. The letter reaffirms the 2004 corporate plan to achieve $50 million in annualized revenue and updates shareholders on recent progress to identify and act against specific illegal trading activity. The letter is included in this press release in its entirety.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On Friday, July 16, the OTCBB Exchange changed our ticker symbol to reflect our recent Corporate name change from IPVoice Communications Inc. (OTCBB:IPVO) to NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT). The name change has been part of our overall long-term plan to expand our business model to include Internet technologies beyond just VoIP. However, we may get more benefit from this name change than just re-branding our expanded business model. As shareholders you all own stock, though most of you have never seen a stock certificate. You have an electronic report in the form of your account statement that reflects your stock ownership. Some of you may not realize that paper certificates even exist, but they do. The Depository Trust Company (DTC) is charged with the responsibility of insuring that your electronic report of stock ownership corresponds to an actual paper stock certificate representing shares owned. This is no easy task, given the high volume of daily trades, let alone the fact that a single share may trade hands multiple times in any given hour. Introduce the practice of short selling and the correlation of electronic certificates to paper certificates arguably becomes almost an impossibility. I am sure many of you understand naked short selling practices, but some of you may not be familiar with the strategy. Naked short selling is simply the sale of a share that does not exist in hopes that the price will go down allowing the short seller to buy stock at a lower price to fill his short order. In the event of a short sale, there are more electronic certificates than paper certificates until the short seller buys stock to fill their short sale. If the stock price goes up, the short seller loses money, just like you may lose money if you bought stock and the price goes down. Short selling, within certain rules, is not illegal. However, when a short seller coordinates his efforts with posting false claims about Company operations on the Terra Lycos Raging Bull online bulletin board, then a law has been broken. Such a short seller is attempting to manipulate the share price down in order to benefit from their short sale. We have tracked many Raging Bull posters and we have discovered individuals employed by investment banking firms. We are taking action accordingly and will continue in our efforts to track other suspicious Raging Bull posters. Some short sellers never intend to buy stock to fill their short sales. Technically, to sell a share short a share must first be borrowed so that in the event the share price goes up, the borrowed share can be collected to fill the short order. Naked short sellers take advantage of foreign brokers outside the close scrutiny of United States regulators to borrow against shares that might not exist in order to make short sales. This is where the Berlin Stock Exchange may be an issue. The Berlin Stock Exchange has been very uncooperative in working with us to mitigate the potential of any issue. The Berlin Exchange has recognized in writing the ability for their Exchange to be utilized to support naked short selling in the United States, but has nevertheless refused our repeated requests to be de-listed in what they believe to be the best interest of German shareholders. We have made an offer to coordinate a purchase of all stock traded on the Berlin Exchange and ostensibly held by German shareholders in combination with a de-listing of our stock on the Berlin Exchange. The Berlin Stock Exchange has not taken our offer. We have engaged German legal representation and will take the necessary legal actions. What can we do in addition to pursuing message board posters and the Berlin Stock exchange in court? Request your broker to send you the paper certificates for your stock. This will force a reconciliation of paper and electronic certificates and uncover any open short positions so that regulators can deal with the naked shorters accordingly. With the name change and ticker symbol change, new paper stock has been created with a new CUSIP number. CUSIP stands for Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures. A CUSIP number identifies stocks of all registered U.S. and Canadian companies. The CUSIP system is owned by the American Bankers Association and operated by Standard & Poor's. Technically, all existing paper certificates, either in a safe at the DTC or in a safe at your broker's, should be exchanged for a new paper certificate with the new CUSIP number. The exchange of all old paper certificates for new paper certificates would effect a reconciliation of all paper certificates with all electronic certificates and all short positions would be uncovered. This process however is not well regulated. By each legitimate shareholder demanding a paper certificate, the electronic reconciliation can be essentially effected by shareholder mandate. Do not let your broker deny you the right to "order out" a stock certificate. You may find resistance from your broker when you make this request. You have the right to receive paper certificates. Do not take no for an answer. An artificial supply of Company stock may be the cause of our recent share price decline. Basic economics tells us if supply is plentiful, then the price declines. However, if through an electronic share reconciliation we discover that the supply is truly artificial and that actually a scarcity of stock exists, then basic economics will work to increase the share price. Please do not hesitate to contact the Company with any questions regarding a request for a paper certificate. We also want to hear about any resistance you encounter in your request. While we are working diligently to manage the current suspicious trading activity, the majority of our time is dedicated to continuing to grow the Company accordingly to plan. We recently announced a $1 million dollar organic sales contract and anticipate closing similar deals in the near future. We are beginning to realize notable sales traction with an improved opportunity to sign larger contracts. We are closing the books for the second quarter now and will announce the second quarter results and the forecast for the balance of 2004 in early August. We are on track to meet our corporate goal of an annual revenue run rate of $50 million by year end with $20 million in booked revenue. In spite of the recent suspicious stock trading activity, the Company is in better operational condition then ever.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

NewMarket Technology, Inc. Files SEC Form 10QSB Reporting Q204 Revenue of $7.6 Million Thursday August 12, 10:38 am ET Approaching Breakeven with Cash on Hand of $3.3 Million Record $7.6 Million in Quarterly Revenue before Benefit of Recent $20 Million in Annual Revenue Acquisition to be Included in Q304 Financial Report
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2004-- NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT - News) today announced filing SEC Form 10QSB reporting operation results for the Second Quarter of 2004. Net Revenue increased 1,250% from $562,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Second Quarter of 2004 revenue increased 280% over First Quarter revenue of $2.6 million. Forty percent (40%) of this increase or $2.8 million was due to organic sales growth of the existing core operations and organic growth from the previously acquired companies. Substantial earnings improvements in the Second Quarter accelerated the Company toward realizing forecasted operational profitability by year end 2004. While management anticipated quarterly losses associated with investments to expand operations, the reported net loss for this quarter of $73,529 is less than 1% of revenue and reflects a reduction in loss of 88% over the previous quarter.
In addition to improved earnings, the Company also reported a working capital surplus of $1.2 million with cash on hand of $3.3 million. The reported revenue of $10.2 million for the first six months of 2004 reflects just over 50% of the forecasted booked revenue of $20 million for 2004. The Company has a revenue run rate goal of $50 million by year end 2004.
"In December 2003, NewMarket Technology announced an aggressive plan to introduce an innovative new business model that included an equally aggressive financial forecast," said Philip Verges, CEO of NewMarket Technology. "The Company is consistently meeting or exceeding both planned objectives and financial milestones. We expect to continue to meet or exceed planned objectives and milestones into the third and fourth quarter of 2004. Third and fourth quarter results will reflect our continuing organic sales growth and the additional benefit to be realized beginning in the third quarter from our recent acquisition which will contribute an additional $20 million in annualized revenue
