CMARK Continues Strong U.S. Government Sales Effort With $10.6 Million in Sales Bookings for 3rd Quarter of 2008

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CMARK International Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CMIT), a leading provider of logistical and facility support to federal government institutions, today announced that its bookings of new contract awards for the third quarter 2008 totaled over $10.6 million, an increase of over 16% over the third quarter of 2007 and 244% over the same period of 2006.

Bookings for the first three quarters of 2008 total over $16,800,000 which is an increase of over 15% from the same period of 2007 and 250% increase from the same period of 2006. The company moves into the fourth quarter with the largest backlog in the company's history.

"The company is right on track with its sales plan to a variety of U.S. government agencies as well as government prime contractors. This increase in business reflects increasing infrastructure development as well as product development including general construction, modular structures, food service equipment and furnishings," said Charles W. Jones, Jr., President and CEO of CMARK.

"We feel the entire U.S. Government marketplace including the Department of Defense, and its associated support activities offer a solid marketplace in this day and time and the global development of CMARK's infrastructure along with the development of a broad but cohesive product mix are continuing to strengthen our efforts. We are further increasing and refining our resources in pursuing this effort including attention to engineering and sales staffing, as well as increasing joint efforts with key strategic allies and suppliers."

Some of the significant milestones during the past three quarters for CMARK have been the establishment of a Department of Defense Mentor-Protege program with EMCOR Group, Inc.; the opening its corporate finance office in Naples, Florida, allowing centralization of all corporate finance functions; and the opening a field support facility inKuwait City,Kuwait for its project in theMiddle East.

"We currently have 8 functioning offices in the U.S. as well as support activities and strategic alliances inEurope,Asia and theMiddle East. With the current backlog reflecting these contract awards and a stronger corporate focus on business development we should carry this significant momentum into the fourth quarter and further into 2009."
