CEO Recently Interviewed on Wallst.net Discussing $30 Million Revenue Goal for 2008 and More than $20 Million in Profitable Revenue from Operations in 2007

DALLAS, TX – March 27, 2008 -- NewMarket Latin America, Inc. (OTC: NLAI) today announced that RKM IT Solutions (RKM) has completed the sale of a corporate Microsoft License for Servers and Workstations to Banco Real, Banco de Desarrollo, C.A. of Venezuela under RKM’s Microsoft Large Account Reseller and Enterprise Software Advisor (LAR/ESA) partner status. The entire revenue for the licensing will be realized in the first quarter of 2008. RKM’s Microsoft sales increased 345% in their region last year over the same period in the prior year due in part to the company's recent upgrade to LAR/ESA partner status from Gold Partner. The period tracked was from July 2007 to December 2007 compared to July 2006 to December 2006. Additionally, RKM exceeded their Microsoft sales quota by 159% from July to September 2007, and by 287% from October to December 2007.

Banco Real (www.bancoreal.com.ve)  is a development bank focused on micro, small and medium sized businesses. Banco Real has more than 7,000 accounts and 4,000 open lines of credit.

RKM’s Microsoft Partner Upgrade

In 2007, RKM’s Microsoft partner status was upgraded to a LAR/ESA from Gold Partner. LAR/ESA Partners significantly expand Microsoft’s reach both geographically and to the rapidly growing category of Mid-Market and corporate customers. This recent partnership allows RKM to significantly extend its existing Microsoft Gold partnership to offer high volume licensing, specifically “Enterprise Agreement” (EA) and “Select” for companies with more than 250 PCs and support services to large enterprise and institutional customers. Prior to their selection to the LAR/ESA Partner program, RKM has been a Microsoft Gold Partner since 2001, winning the 2003 Microsoft Infrastructure Solution of the Year award in Venezuela.
