Strong Buy Issued On ZiaSun Technologies by Security Capital Trading SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1999-- Near-term Price Target over $15 Per Share with Long-term $30 Price Target ZiaSun Technologies, Inc (OTC BB: ZSUN), a profitable Internet holding company, today reported that the New York-based brokerage and analyst firm Security Capital Trading, Inc. initiated coverage of the Company with a strong buy recommendation. The analyst report issued a near-term target price above ZiaSun's 52-week high of $15 per share. Security Capital Trading also reported a long-term price target of $30 per share, or, according to the report, "roughly 4 times 2001's projected Revenues." The coverage of the Company highlighted several areas of its operations as well as ZiaSun's focus on Asian demographic markets, explaining some of the growth trends existing in these industry sectors. The report also stated that "...ZiaSun has captured an early (and in some markets, a dominant) lead as the portal-of-choice in accessing Far East markets." In addition to noting that ZiaSun has "...strong fundamental operating results, a debt-free balance sheet, and more than ample working capital (in excess of $5 million)," the Security Capital Report also made several projections regarding the Company's top and bottom line results - including the following statement: "For the full 1999 year, we forecast $26 million in Revenues, reflecting a very strong fourth quarter, and EPS of $0.20. Beyond, we project Revenues more than tripling in 2000 to $90 million (then, doubling in 2001 to $180 million), with EPS increasing 2.5 times in both 2000 (to $0.60) and 2001 (to $1.50). These robust gains reflect the momentum initiated this year with each business unit more aggressively cross-selling."
