(OTCBB: WWSG) today announced a binding letter of intent (LOI) whereby NewMarket will acquire a fifty-one percent (51%) majority interest in Denver-based Worldwide Strategies.

Mobile Computing Business to be Consolidated into Worldwide Strategies

NewMarket recently announced adding a Mobile Computing Solution, to include mobile software, mobile security and mobile access, to its current portfolio of emerging technology products and services. NewMarket launched efforts to build a Mobile Computing Solution offering in the third quarter of 2007. The Company plans to consolidate its Mobile Computing business into Worldwide Strategies and anticipates $20 million in sales in 2008 resulting from the new Mobile Computing Solution offering, in addition to Worldwide Strategies' existing health benefits business solutions program.

Mobile Computing Solution Offering in South America, China and South East Asia

The Mobile Computing Solution offering to be consolidated into Worldwide Strategies will include both infrastructure solutions and applications for provisioning and managing users accessing mobile solutions, in addition to a number of various industry specific mobile applications, such as online banking. The initial Mobile Computing Solution offering is being assembled by the acquisition of three innovative mobile software companies. Details regarding the Mobile Computing Solution and the three companies being acquired will be subsequently released. The Worldwide Strategies Mobile Computing Solution offering will take advantage of NewMarket Technology's existing emerging economy distribution channels in South America, China and South East Asia.

Mobile Computing Industry Opportunity in Emerging Economies

The Mobile Computing Industry includes mobile application and security software used on devices such as handheld computers, PDAs, smartphones and cell phones. The demand for mobile software applications is being driven in large part by the growing penetration of mobile phone sales into emerging economies that currently do not have substantial access to the Internet via desktop computing. According to IDC, the worldwide mobile phone market reached a new milestone at the close of 2006 with more than one billion units shipped worldwide over the year.
