Pegasus Wireless Corp. Enters Into Letter of Intent to Combine Operations With NewMarket's Chinese Operations
DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 13, 2008 -- NewMarket China, Inc. (OTC BB:NMCH.OB - News) today released an update on the Company's 2008 acquisition strategy. In addition to the anticipation of continued strong organic growth, NewMarket China plans to expand its current product line, increase profit margin and substantially augment existing revenue through acquisition.
Continuing Strong Growth From $29.5 Million to approximately $40 Million in Revenue and Beyond
The Company reported $29.5 million in revenue in 2006 and anticipates reporting approximately $40 million in revenue for 2007. The Company anticipates a revenue increase of at least 20% stemming from organic sales in 2008 and potentially an even greater increase as the result of acquisitions.
Acquisition Pipeline to Expand Product Line, Increase Profit and Augment Revenue
The Company's acquisition strategy is centered on diversifying its current product line with an emphasis on increasing profit margins. Today, NewMarket China is primarily a provider of globally recognized brand name technology solutions in China. The intent of the acquisition strategy is to leverage the Company's current organizational foundation in China to expand its product portfolio and sales from China into other international markets. The relatively low labor cost in China provides the Company the opportunity to sell higher margin technology products and services sourced in China, into international markets where Chinese market advantages provide a competitive value proposition. NewMarket China currently has several acquisition opportunities under consideration. In some instances, the Company has entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire specific operations under certain terms and subject to due diligence.
LOI to Acquire Operations of Pegasus Wireless with $100 Million in Annual Revenue
The Company has not publicly disclosed the companies being considered for acquisition. However, the Company's intent to acquire the operations of Pegasus Wireless has otherwise been disclosed pursuant to a recently filed public court document. Accordingly, NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTC BB:NMKT.OB - News), NewMarket China's parent company, has received several inquiries from shareholders regarding the potential acquisition. NewMarket China CEO John T. Verges has issued the following statement to address shareholder questions regarding the Company's intent to acquire the operations of Pegasus Wireless:
"NewMarket Technology, Inc. is the majority shareholder of NewMarket China, Inc. and NewMarket Technology, Inc. has entered into a letter of intent to acquire the operations of Pegasus and subsequently to combine those operations into NewMarket China, Inc. At this stage, the potential of completing the acquisition must be considered speculative. The letter of intent is subject to due diligence. Furthermore, Pegasus is an organizationally distressed operation and certain issues regarding the subject distress must be specifically resolved for the proposed transaction between NewMarket and Pegasus to be realized. We are optimistic about the prospects of the acquisition being realized but cannot forecast with any certainty the completion of the acquisition, nor the timing thereof."
