Combined WIFI Conglomerate and NewMarket Listed Subsidiary to Sell WIFI Enabled Solutions to Multiple Markets Including Voice over IP (VoIP), Gaming, Homeland Security and Municipal Utilities
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:NMKT - News) and Diamond I, Inc. (OTCBB

MOIE - News) today announced plans to combine WIFI operations. The planned merger of Diamond I's WIFI operations with NewMarket's WIFI operations is a significant part of Diamond I's recently announced reorganization plans to support an overall WIFI market expansion strategy.
WIFI Expansion Strategy and NewMarket Contribution
The combined companies will consolidate WIFI technology assets and proprietary knowledge and build equity partnerships with other emerging WIFI businesses that can be leveraged to build revenue in a number of market segments. In the reorganization, Diamond I will develop subsidiary companies that concentrate on developing WIFI-specific market segments. Diamond I already has a subsidiary focused on WIFI-enabled gaming targeted for deployment on casino properties. A second subsidiary is to be formed to concentrate on bringing WIFI solutions to city municipalities. The parent company will maintain its core WIFI technology assets that can be applied to develop additional WIFI market segments through focused subsidiaries.
NewMarket Award-Winning Strategy to Develop Emerging Technology
NewMarket Technology recently ranked fifth on Deloitte's 2006 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. This is the third consecutive year that NewMarket has been ranked on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500. NewMarket is the fastest growing company in Texas on the Fast 500 ranking and the first Texas-based company to make the Top 5 since 2001. NewMarket Technology continues to maintain a rapid growth rate with $70 million in revenue forecasted this year and $120 million forecasted in 2007.
Philip Verges, CEO and Chairman of NewMarket commented:
"The micro cap public market can be a great environment for providing development stage businesses access to growth capital. However, the increased expense of being public creates a substantial hurdle for small development stage businesses. At NewMarket, we believe development stage micro cap public conglomerates give emerging market businesses access to a great capital market while mitigating the increasing expense of being public. We also believe most technologies can be applied to multiple market segments. We are confident that the opportunity to consolidate WIFI operations with Diamond creating multiple market segment opportunities will enhance shareholder value in the combined operation."
David Loflin, Diamond I's CEO:
"NewMarket not only brings valuable WIFI assets and knowledge, but ground breaking experience in incubating emerging technology operations. I look forward to progressing further with this opportunity with NewMarket and building a multi-market WIFI conglomerate."
Diamond and NewMarket Terms
Diamond I and NewMarket have entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to combine WIFI operations. The terms of the LOI propose NewMarket's WIFI subsidiary acquiring a sixty percent interest in exchange for $2 million in preferred stock. The terms include the formation of two operating subsidiaries. One subsidiary will concentrate on developing the WIFI gaming market opportunity that is just beginning in the gaming industry. The second subsidiary will focus on developing the city municipal government WIFI market.
