Our Firm's Philosophy Opposing Industry Trends Trends developing in the securities industry have left numerous individual investors without the quality guidance they pay for and deserve. Most Wall Street investment firms now press their brokers to "recommend" investment products with high profit margins and "front-end" loads. Levels of training for Account Executives at the large wire houses have been reduced to no more than regulatory minimums. The emphasis is no longer on investment performance but on sales training, mass merchandising, and securities distribution. This industry trend leaves Hampton-Porter with a vast, untapped market of sophisticated investors who wish to use a full service brokerage firm and receive the high-levels of services they expect and deserve. Hampton-Porter serves the serious investor who requires a highly trained securities professional who is thoroughly versed in all aspects of economics and financial instruments. Hampton-Porter's Investment Executives are acutely sensitive to their clients' investment objectives and are driven to see their goals accomplished. Management at Hampton-Porter is totally committed to having only those investment professionals who are the most motivated and highly productive brokers in the industry. Our unparalleled compensation packages reward the few high performance individuals who can meet the most demanding of management and clients' expectations. With over 60 years of combined executive management experience, Hampton-Porter has a strong presence in the financial community and access to a diverse network of select institutions.

ZiaSun Subsidiary Posts Over $27 Million in Year-End Sales Sales and Seminar Registrations Exceed Expectations SOLANA BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2000--ZiaSun Technologies, Inc (OTC BB: ZSUN - news), a profitable Internet holding company, has announced year-end results for its subsidiary Online Investors Advantage (OIA). OIA, a market pioneer and the Internet's leading investment education firm, posted over $27.4 million in fiscal 1999 sales with very strong earnings as compared to $3.57 million in fiscal 1998 sales. Sales during the first nine months of 1999 were $19 million, and the fourth quarter sales increase is on target with OIA's growth objectives in 2000. In the process, OIA trained 8,272 students in 220 investment education workshops across North America, New Zealand and Australia during the year. The number of workshop attendees has already increased in the first quarter of 2000. ``We are extremely pleased with OIA's continual sales increases, and expect additional growth by introducing OIA's investment workshops into the European Community in the second quarter of 2000,' said ZiaSun Chairman Scott Elder. ``I believe the European expansion will be very smooth, because OIA has already established a solid operating model, which is readily adaptable to the European marketplace.' OIA anticipates at least 10,000 workshop attendees in the U.S.A. alone this year. This increase will be driven by the addition of television advertising, based on the success of a promotional TV spot, which significantly increased attendance at its free seminars where OIA presents and sells its investing workshops. Direct mail and newspaper advertising will be significantly increased as well. An arrangement with Traders Library is also expected to contribute to increased sales during 2000. This online bookstore operation was established in the third quarter of fiscal 1999 as a value-added service for subscribers to OIA's Investor Toolbox. Bookstore sales have rapidly evolved into a profit-generating operation in conjuction with Investors Toolbox, which should exceed $1.25 million in fiscal 2000 sales compared to $670,000 in fiscal 1999. About Online Investors Advantage The Security Blanket.com, an online education industry watchdog and analyst, highly recommends OIA's investment education program. This has helped OIA establish a dominant U.S. market share in the education sector for investor training in the benefits, dangers and required skills of effectively selecting stocks for investment on the Internet.
