UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

          Litigation Release No. 16043 / January 25, 1999

          SEC OBTAINS $1.374 MILLION AWARD AGAINST PENNY STOCK PROMOTER,
          MATT MATSON OF POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA

          SEC v. THE HOME LINK CORP., HOME LINK OF FLORIDA, INC., HOME LINK
          OF NEVADA, INC., and MATT MATSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
          SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, CASE NO.96-6860-CIV-GONZALEZ

               The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that
          on January 11, 1999 United States District Judge Jose A.
          Gonzalez, Jr., ordered Matt Matson ("Matson"), a Pompano Beach,
          Florida stock promoter, to pay $1,274,00 in disgorgement and
          $100,000 in civil money penalties.

               In July 1996 the SEC sued Matson in connection with his
          promotion earlier that year of $1 million of the stock in each of
          two subsidiaries of The Home Link Corporation, Home Link of
          Nevada, Inc. and Home Link of Florida, Inc.  The SEC alleged that
          Matson had fraudulently promoted the stock through a number of
          fraudulent misrepresentations to the financial press, market
          professionals and investors.  On the SEC’s motion, the Court
          enjoined Matson and the other defendants from further violations
          of the securities law, froze their assets and appointed a
          receiver who took control, and ultimately liquidated, the Home
          Link companies.  Shortly before the lawsuit was filed, the
          Commission suspended trading of Home Link's stock for the maximum
          10-day period permitted under Section 12(k)(1)(A) of the Exchange
          Act because there appeared to be a lack of current and accurate
          information concerning, among other things, Home Link's
          capitalization, whether Home Link was pursuing a NASDAQ listing,
          and Home Link's business prospects.

               On  September  25,  1997,  an  SEC  Administrative Law Judge
          ("ALJ") entered an order, which has since  become  final, barring
          Matson  from  participating  in the offering of any penny  stock,
          including acting as a promoter,  finder,  consultant,  agent,  or
          other  person  who  engages  in actions with a broker, dealer, or
          issuer  for purposes of the issuance  or  trading  in  any  penny
          stock, or  inducing  or attempting to induce the purchase or sale
          of any penny stock.
