Item 1:  Description of Business.

Note 1:  Organization and Nature of Operations:

The Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc. (herein referred to as "Hartcourt" or "Company")
is a holding and  development  enterprise  that is  building a broad  network of
Internet,   media,  and   telecommunication   companies  in  Greater  China.  In
partnership  with  leading  Chinese   entrepreneurs   and   government-sponsored
entities,  Hartcourt is developing and investing in emerging  technologies while
building an  integrated  commercial  framework  for its  subsidiaries  and their
partners.  Hartcourt's  operative  business  strategy is  designed to  establish
market-leading  position and facilitate a series of venture divestitures via IPO
or public mergers in its four main business divisions to fully realize the value
of these assets for its  investors.  The four  business  divisions  are Sinobull
Financial Group,  Media Services Group,  E-learning Group and Hartcourt  Capital
Group.

Hartcourt,  through a combination  of expertly  managed  internal  expansion and
accretive strategic  acquisitions,  is executing plans to provide a sustainable,
growing,  diversified and profitable revenue base throughout its operations. The
company is aggressively identifying and pursuing the best business opportunities
available.  Through a continued  refinement  of  operational  efficiencies,  and
increasing   revenue  margins,   the  Company  is  providing  a  clear  path  to
profitability for its current and future businesses.

Hartcourt is developing  extensive business operations  throughout Greater China
to  position  itself to take full  advantage  of the  substantial  opportunities
presented by the emergence of the worlds largest consumer and business  markets,
and  China's  upcoming  entry  into  the  WTO.  Hartcourt's  ability  to  obtain
government  approved  licenses and its wide array of well  established  business
relationships  is  greatly  facilitating  these  goals and making  Hartcourt  an
attractive entry point for many corporations seeking access to these markets.

investors with updates and analysis on the fast-changing  investment environment
and opportunities in China.

<PAGE>
the  outstanding  shares of Hartcourt  Investments,  a Nevada  corporation,  for

stock  split  and  stock  dividend)   pursuant  to  an  Agreement  and  Plan  of

was a "shell" entity with no assets,  business or operations.  Subsequent to the
acquisition of Hartcourt Investments, Stardust changed its name to The Hartcourt
Companies, Inc.

OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS DIVISIONS

SINOBULL FINANCIAL GROUP:

The Sinobull  Financial  Group  ("Group")  was formed in November  1999 with the
intention to consolidate  various related businesses  acquired or expected to be
acquired by Hartcourt or Sinobull.com Inc. ("Sinobull"),  the holding company of
the Group incorporated in British Virgin Islands. On May 16, 2002,  Sinobull.com
Inc.  changed its name to Hartcourt  Companies  Limited.  In the test hereafter,
Hartcourt  Capital  Limited  is  referred  to as  "Sinobull".  On April 2, 2001,
Sinobull's  one share  issued  and  outstanding  held by Mr.  Tang Wing On,  was
formally transferred to Hartcourt, and Sinobull became a wholly owned subsidiary
of  Hartcourt.  On October 2, 2001,  Hartcourt  announced its intent to publicly
divest the Sinobull Group in a merger with Global Telephone  Communications Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board:  GTCI).  The reverse merger will allow Sinobull to actively
trade on the equity markets and unlock its value for Hartcourt  investors.  GTCI
shareholders have approved the merger.  However,  both parties agreed to rescind
the agreement due to complication involving outstanding creditors of GTCI.

Financial Telecom Limited (FTL): FTL was established in 1983 as a financial data
bank  providing  real-time  stock quotes and financial  information of Hong Kong
listed companies as well as information on other  international  stock exchanges
in the U.S. and Europe to institutional and retail investors. FTL is also acting
as the  marketing  agent for  Standard & Poor's  Comstock,  a division of McGraw
Hill, in Hong Kong. FTL was the first company in Hong Kong to transmit real-time
financial  services via a network of wireless system for  dissemination of data.
This was considered as a major breakthrough in the information and communication
industry  in Hong  Kong.  Investors  were no  longer  restricted  to fixed  line
terminals and could use a wireless  network,  such as financial pager, to access
real-time financial  information.  At present,  FTL maintains a financial portal
featuring stock trading,  real-time  quotes and company data banks for investors
in China and Hong Kong. These investors include major investment houses,  banks,
securities firms and mutual fund houses.

On August 17, 1999,  Hartcourt entered into a stock purchase agreement with FTL,
a  Hong  Kong  corporation,  to  purchase  4,964,990  shares  of  common  stock,
representing  58.53% of the total common stock  outstanding.  The purchase price
was agreed to be HK $4.713 (US$ 0.604) per share for a total of HK$25,563,842 or
US$3,277,412,  payable 50% in cash and the remaining balance in Hartcourt common
shares.  The acquisition was completed on October 4, 1999.  Hartcourt made total
cash payments of $1,638,706 and issued  1,754,552  shares of its common stock to
FTL. As of 31 December 2002,  FTL sold all the shares of Hartcourt  common stock
to satisfy certain obligations.

On March 27, 2000, FTL entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with NiceVoice
Investment  Holdings  Limited  (NiceVoice)  to form a joint venture named Fintel



                                        6
<PAGE>
Wireless  Internet Limited (FWL) for the purpose of establishing and operating a
financial paging service network in Hong Kong on the FLEX transmission  protocol
on a PDA receiver device. FTL agreed to invest cash by phases, to the amount not
to exceed HK$4,000,000 (approximately US$512,800) in exchange for a total of 51%
ownership  interest in the joint  venture,  and Nice Voice agreed to  contribute
certain assets in FWL. After the completion of due diligence, the parties signed
the formal joint venture agreement on April 28, 2000 and FWL became a subsidiary
of FTL. Although NiceVoice has contributed certain assets in the FWL, due to the
method of funding these assets NiceVoice does not presently have legal ownership
title to such  assets  until the  final  dollar  payment  has been made on these
assets.  The accompanying  financial  statements as of December 31, 2002 reflect
FTL's  investment  of 51%  ownership  interest in FWL. FWL ceased  operations on
March 1, 2002 after all its customers were sold to a third party. As of December
31, 2002, FTL had advanced approximately  HK$4,216,162  (US$540,534) towards its
investment in FWL.  During the quarter ended 30 September 2002, FTL disposed off
its wholly owned subsidiary  Topomedia to Bowland, the other shareholder of FTL.
As  Topomedia  suffered  a big loss,  FTL made bad debt  provision  HK$8,704,514
(US$1,115,963) for the advance to Topomedia.

finance this  acquisition,  Tiandi issued new shares to Sinobull equal to 40% of
the  expanded  capital of Tiandi.  The terms of the revised  agreement  required

intangible assets in relation to Shangdi's computer network information services
excluding  cash and debts;  invest  US$1,000,000  in  Sinobull  Network  for its
working capital needs;  issue 140,000  restricted  common shares of Hartcourt to
Shangdi and 60,000 restricted common shares of Hartcourt to Sinobull Network for

and debt,  all tangible and  intangible  assets in relation to computer  network
information  services to Sinobull  Network,  and transferred to Hartcourt 40% of
the ownership interest in Tiandi. On December 28, 2000, Sinobull, Tiandi, and Li
Chun Ying  (representative of the owners of Shangdi) signed a Share Subscription
and Sale and Purchase  Agreement  whereby,  Sinobull  owned 51% of Tiandi and Li

<PAGE>
Chun Ying owned 49% of Tiandi  after  payment of  consideration  to Shangdi  for
purchase of all tangible and intangible assets. Sinobull through an advance from
Hartcourt, had paid $1,000,000 in cash towards the purchase of its 51% ownership
interest  of which  $670,000  was  distributed  to the owners of Shangdi and the
remaining  $330,000  was deemed as capital  contribution  in  Sinobull  Network.
Tiandi and Sinobull Network ceased its operations as of May 16, 2001.

investment  and  Hartcourt  has  invested  $100,000  towards  its  66.7%  equity
ownership in the HCTV joint venture. The temporary license issued by the Chinese
authorities  expired on February  14, 2002 pending  injection  of an  additional
$850,000  towards  the  capital  subscription.  Due  to the  complex  regulation
regarding foreign  investment in the TV industry sector and due to the fact that
Hartcourt  and  Hopeman  will not have the  financial  resources  to support the
initial investment capital required, on August 28, 2002, Hartcourt has agreed to
sell its entire interest in this joint venture back to Hopeman. According to the
agreement, Hartcourt will receive back all of its investment from Hopeman. As of
December 31, 2002 and March 10, 2003,  Hartcourt has received  US$20,000 and US$

Beijing UAC Stock Trading  Online Co. Ltd. (UAC Trading):  UAC Trading  operates
one of the leading  nationwide online securities  trading network called UAC 162
Network,  connecting investors with their stock brokerage offices via China Pac.
China Pac is the  nationwide  packet  switched  network in China  owned by China
Telecom  since  1991.  In May 1999,  UAC  Trading  was  granted a license by the
Chinese  government  and signed a contract with China Telecom to start  building
the network.  On June 20, 1999  Hartcourt  entered  into an  agreement  with UAC
Trading to form a joint venture  company  Beijing UAC Stock Exchange  Online Co.
Ltd. ("UAC  Exchange").  Under the terms of the agreement,  Hartcourt  agreed to
invest in cash and stock  $2,868,000 for the purchase of 51% ownership  interest
in UAC Exchange.  In September 2000, the Chinese  government  allowed all online
transactions  to be conducted via  Internet.  It caused UAC Exchange to lose its
competitiveness  as the  efficiencies  of 162 Network was not  compatible to the
Internet.  Therefore, UAC Exchange started converting its operations to Internet
based operations.

On July 16,  2001,  Hartcourt  and UAC  Trading,  by mutual  consent,  agreed to
rescind the contractual joint venture  agreement named UAC Exchange.  As part of
the rescission,  Hartcourt  agreed to accept a promissory note for the amount of
its net  investment  in UAC Exchange as of the date of  rescission  amounting to
$2,858,286,  bearing  interest  at six per cent  (6%) per anum,  payable  over a
thirty-nine  months  period.  The  parties  mutually  agreed to forego all other
rights  and  benefits   provided   under  the   contractual   joint  venture  as
consideration  for the rescission of the contract.  On September 10, 2001,  Edda
Limited,  a  non-affiliated  company  incorporated  in Hong Kong,  purchased all
existing  tangible  and  intangible  assets of UAC  Exchange  for the  amount of
Hartcourt's net investment in UAC Exchange,  and signed a promissory note in the
amount of $2,858,286  bearing interest at six per cent (6%) per anum, payable in
quarterly  installments  of $50,000  commencing  November 1, 2001 with a balloon

payment of $2,715,772 due on December 1, 2006. The promissory note is secured by
a security agreement granting to Hartcourt all tangible and intangible  property
of Edda Limited. As of December 31, 2002, Edda paid five quarterly note payments
of  $50,000  each.  As of  December  31,  2002,  Hartcourt  corrected  the share
subscription  price of the  shares  issued to Edda,  which lead to  reducing  of
$652,274  towards the promissory  note due to Hartcourt.  In addition,  Edda has
paid $60,459 towards interest due on the promissory note due to Hartcourt.

On September 18, 2000, Sinobull advanced $500,000 to Guo Mao who loaned the same
amount to WindInfo on behalf of Hartcourt.  Pursuant to the addendum to the Term
Sheet  Agreement,  on January 10, 2001,  Hartcourt and WindInfo  signed a direct
investment  agreement  whereby Hartcourt agreed to convert the loan from Guo Mao
of  $500,000  to a 5% equity  ownership  in the JVC to be formed.  Upon  further
negotiations  between the two  parties,  Hartcourt  and WindInfo  have  mutually
agreed to  terminate  the Term Sheet  Agreement of formation of JVC and WindInfo
agreed to return Hartcourt's  contribution of $500,000 towards its investment in

amount of Units that can be issued shall be 4,000,000 shares of common stock and
4,000,000 Class I Warrants.  The cap amount shall be 8,000,000  shares of common
stock (on a "post-split" basis) including Class I warrants. As a result of reset
calculations, Hartcourt issued on March 6, 2001 an additional 930,784 shares and
on May 18, 2001 an  additional  1,035,308  shares of common stock for a total of
4,000,000  shares as December 31, 2002 and  4,000,000  warrants  exercisable  at
$0.69375 per share of common stock.  No warrants have been  exercised to convert
into common shares as of March 10, 2003.

Edda Limited ("Edda"):  On December 26, 2000,  Hartcourt and Edda signed a Stock
Sale Agreement (Agreement) whereby Hartcourt agreed to sell 4,000,000 restricted
shares of its common stock as a block to Edda at the agreed price of fifty cents
($0.50)  per  share.  Pursuant  to the terms of the  Agreement,  Hartcourt  will
deliver to Edda the requisite number of common shares  restricted under the Rule
144 of SEC regulations  upon receipt of the full and complete  purchase price in
the amount of $2,000,000.  On October 31, 2001,  Hartcourt  issued an additional
1,363,636 common shares valued at $0.22 per share for a subscription  receivable
of  $300,000.  On March 4,  2002,  Hartcourt  and Edda  signed a new Stock  Sale
Agreement  whereby  Hartcourt agreed to sell 5,000,000  restricted shares of its
common stock as a block to Edda at the agreed price of twelve cents  ($0.12) per
share or $600,000.  The accompanying financial statements reflect that Hartcourt
received $2,326,819 from Edda as of December 31, 2002.

However,  during the 2002 audit,  Hartcourt  found that the issued  share prices
should have been  calculated  differently  according  to the  agreement  and its
addendum.  Therefore, the correct price of 4,000,000 restricted shares issued on
December 26, 2000 and the 1,363,636 restricted shares issued on October 31, 2001
and 5,000,000  restricted shares issued on March 4, 2002 should have been $0.28,
$0.095 and $0.085 per share  respectively.  As a result,  Hartcourt has adjusted
the additional paid-in capital and subscription receivable respectively.


Enlight Corporation ("Enlight"):  On May 9, 2002, Hartcourt and Enlight signed a
Stock Purchase  Agreement whereby Hartcourt agreed to sell 5,000,000  restricted
shares of its common  stock as a block to  Enlight  at the price of eight  cents
($0.08) per share.  However,  as Hartcourt share price kept decreasing,  the two
sides have agreed to revise the  agreement on 10 October  2002.  Pursuant to the
terms of the new  agreement,  Enlight will purchase  $1,000,000  worth of common


                                       16
<PAGE>
shares of Hartcourt,  restricted  under Rule 144 and/or Reg S  regulation,  at a
discount to current  market  price.  As of December  31st,  2002,  Hartcourt has
received  $899,400 from Enlight and agreed to issue 2,417,520  restricted shares
to Enlight each month starting January 2003.

Hartcourt's future business,  including  expansion of its current operations and
acquisition plans requires  additional  equity and/or debt financing,  which may
not be  available  in a  timely  manner  or on  commercially  reasonable  terms.
Currently,  Hartcourt's  primary objective is to acquire  established  operating
companies with histories of growth and profitability,  in order to diversify and
create a multi-dimensional Internet service related company.

Risks Relating to the Greater China and Asian Internet Industry

Our industry is intensely competitive

The Greater China and Asian Internet  market is  characterized  by an increasing
number of entrants  because the  start-up  costs are fairly  low.  The  Internet
industry is relatively new and subject to continuing definition and as a result,
our competitors  may better position  themselves to compete in this market as it
matures.  Many  of our  competitors,  as  well  as a  number  of  potential  new
competitors,  have longer operating  histories in the Internet  market,  greater
name recognition,  larger customer bases and databases and significantly greater
financial,  technical  and  marketing  resources  than us. Any of our present or
future  competitors may provide  products and services that provide  significant
performance,  price,  creative or other  advantages over those offered by us. We
can provide no assurance  that we will be able to compete  successfully  against
our current or future competitors.

Portal  competition - Our competition with respect to user traffic,  ease of use
and functionality include:

   o   Chinese  language based Web search and retrieval companies such as Yahoo!
       China,   Sina.com.   Netease,   Sohu,   Shanghai Online,   ChinaByte  and
       Netvigator;
   o   English  Language  based  Web  search  and  retrieval  companies  such as
       Infoseek, Lycos, Yahoo! and Microsoft Network (MSN); and
   o   Retreival services and products offered by AltaVista,  HotWired Venture's
       and Open Text.

In the future,  we may encounter  competition  from ISPs, Web site operators and
providers of Web browser software that incorporate search and retrieval features
into their  offerings.  Our  competitors  may develop  Web search and  retrieval
services  that are equal or superior to those we offer our users and may achieve
greater market acceptance than our offerings in the area of performance, ease of
use and functionality.

Web Solutions Competition - Our competition with respect to strategic expertise,
technical knowledge and problem solving skills include:

     Computer   hardware   and   service   vendors   such  as  IBM,  Compaq  and
     Hewlett-Packard;
     Internet integrators and Web site design and development  companies such as
     iXL, Modern Media Poppe Tyson and Proxicom;  Large  information  technology
     consulting  service  providers  such  as  Accenture,  Cambridge  Technology
     Partners and EDS; and Telecommunications  companies such as AT&T, Hutchison
     and Hong Kong Telecom.

The Greater China and Asian Internet industry is a developing market and has not
been proven as an effective commercial medium

The market for  Internet  services in Greater  China and Asia has only  recently
begun to  develop.  Since the  Internet  is an  unproven  medium for  commercial
services, our future operating results from portal competition and web solutions
services  will depend  substantially  upon the increased use of the Internet for
information,  publication,  distribution and commerce in Greater China and Asia.
Critical  issues  concerning the commercial use of the Internet in Greater China
and Asia such as security, reliability, cost, ease of deployment, administration
and quality of service may affect the adoption of the Internet to solve business
needs. For example,  the cost of access may prevent many potential users in Asia
from using the Internet. Moreover, the use of credit cards in sales and purchase
transactions is not a common practice in parts of Asia.  Until the use of credit
cards, or another  alternative  viable means of electronic  payment becomes more
prevalent,  the  development  of e-commerce  through our portal  network will be
seriously  impeded.  In  addition,  even when credit  cards or another  means of
electronics payment becomes prevalent throughout Asia, consumers will have to be
confident that adequate security  measures protect  electronic sale transactions
conducted over the Internet and prevent fraud.

Our entry into the Chinese  Internet market depends on the  establishment  of an
adequate telecommunications infrastructure in China by the Chinese government

Unlike  Taiwan and Hong Kong,  where the  telecommunications  infrastructure  is
comparable to U.S.  standards and where private  companies  compete as ISPs, the
telecommunications  infrastructure in China is not well developed.  In addition,
access to the Internet is  accomplished  primarily by means of the  government's
backbone of separate  national  interconnecting  networks  that connect with the
international  gateway  to the  Internet,  which is owned  and  operated  by the
Chinese  government and is the only channel  through which the domestic  Chinese
Internet network can connect to the  international  Internet  network.  Although
private  sectors  ISPs exist in the China,  almost all access to the Internet is
accomplished through ChinaNet,  the Chinese primary commercial network, which is
owned and operated by the Chinese government. We rely on this backbone and China
Telecom  to  provide  data  communications   capacity  primarily  through  local
telecommunications lines. As a result, we will continue to depend on the Chinese
government to establish and maintain a reliable Internet infrastructure to reach
a broader  base of  Internet  users in China.  We will have no means of  getting
access to alternative networks and services, on a timely basis or at all, in the
event of any disruption or failure.  There can be no assurance that the Internet
infrastructure  in Greater  China  will  support  the  demands  associated  with
continued  growth.  If the  necessary  infrastructure  standards or protocols or
complementary products,  services or facilities are not developed by the Chinese
government, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Our computer network is vulnerable to hacking, viruses and other disruptions

Inappropriate  use of our Internet  services  could  jeopardize  the security of
confidential  information stored in our computer system,  which may cause losses
to  us.   Inappropriate  use  of  the  Internet  includes   attempting  to  gain
unauthorized  access to information or systems - commonly known as "cracking" or
"hacking".  Although  we intend to  implement  security  measures to protect our
facilities, such measures could be circumvented.  Alleviating problems caused by
computer viruses or other  inappropriate  uses or security  breaches may require
interruptions, delays or cessation in our services.

                                       18

There are  political,  economic  and  regulatory  risks  associated  with  doing
business in China and Asia

China's economy has experienced  significant growth in the past decade, but such
growth has been uneven across  geographic and economic  sectors and has recently
been  slowing.  There can be no assurance  that such growth will not continue to
decrease or that any slow down will not have a negative  effect on our business.
The Chinese  economy is also  experiencing  deflation  which may continue in the
future.  The current economic  situation may adversely affect our  profitability
over time as  expenditures  may decrease due to the results of slowing  domestic
demand and  deflation.  A significant  part of our facilities and operations are
currently  located in Hong Kong.  Hong Kong is a Special  Administrative  Region
("SAR") of China with its own  government  and  legislature.  Hong Kong enjoys a
high degree of autonomy  from China under the  principle  of "one  country,  two
systems".  We can give no  assurance  that  Hong  Kong  will  continue  to enjoy
autonomy from China. The Hong Kong dollar has remained  relatively  constant due
to the U.S. dollar peg and currency board system that has been in effect in Hong
Kong  since  1983.   Since  1998,   interest  rates  in  Hong  Kong  have  risen
significantly,  real  estate and retail  sales have  declined  and Hong Kong has
slipped into a recession. In recent months, Hong Kong has suffered deflation and
the currency has been subject to currency speculation and the SAR government has
substantially  supported the market for the Hong Kong dollar,  both directly and
indirectly  through the  large-scale  purchase of securities  listed on the Hong
Kong Stock  Exchange.  We can give no assurance  that the Hong Kong economy will
not worsen or that the  historical  currency  peg of the Hong Kong dollar to the
U.S. dollar will be maintained.  Continued recession in Hong Kong,  deflation or
the  discontinuation  of the historical  currency peg could adversely affect our
business.

Regulation  of the  information  industry  in China  may  adversely  affect  our
business

China has enacted regulations  governing Internet access and the distribution of
news and other information. We cannot predict the effect of further developments
in the Chinese legal system, particularly with regard to the Internet, including
promulgation of the new laws, changes to the existing laws or the interpretation
or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws.

A change in currency  exchange  rates could  increase our costs  relative to our
revenues

In future, substantial amount of our revenues,  expenses and liabilities will be
denominated  in Hong Kong  dollars and  Chinese  Renminbi.  As a result,  we are
subject to the  effects of exchange  rate  fluctuations  with  respect to any of
these  currencies.  We have not entered into  agreements  or purchase  financial
instruments  to hedge  our  exchange  rate  risks  although  we may do so in the
future.

Restrictions  on currency  exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenue
effectively

Although Chinese governmental  policies were introduced in 1996 to allow greater
convertibility  of the  Renminbi,  significant  restrictions  still  remain.  We
provide no assurance  that the Chinese  regulatory  authorities  will not impose
greater   restrictions  on  the  convertibility  of  the  Renminbi.   Because  a
significant  amount of our future  revenues may be in the form of Renminbi,  any

                                       19
<PAGE>
future  restrictions  on  currency  exchanges  may limit our  ability to utilize
revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China,

Doing business in China

Hartcourt's operations in China involve certain risks and special considerations
not  typically  associated  with  operations in the United  States.  These risks
generally  related to: (i) social,  economic  and  political  uncertainty;  (ii)
substantial  governmental  involvement in and control over the Chinese  economy;
(iii) the possibility that the Chinese government could elect to discontinue its
support of the  economic  reform  programs  implemented  in 1978 and return to a
completely  centrally  planned  economy;  and (iv) possible  nationalization  or
expropriation  of assets.  Accordingly,  government  actions in the future could
have a  significant  effect on economic  conditions  in China.  Such actions and
resulting changes in the Chinese economy could  significantly  adversely affect,
limit or  eliminate  opportunities  for foreign  investment,  the  prospects  of
private  sector  enterprises  operating  in China and the  value of  Hartcourt's
investments in China.

Environmental Regulation

Hartcourt's  United  States  and  Chinese  operations  are  subject  to  various
governmental  laws and  regulations.  The costs and effects of  compliance  with
environmental  laws and  regulations  in the United States  (federal,  state and
local) and China have not been material in the past and are not  anticipated  to
be material in the future.

Terrorism

Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington,
D.C. on  September  11,  2001,  and other acts of violence or war may affect the
markets on which our securities trade, the markets in which we and our customers
operate, our operations and our profitability.  Terrorist attacks may negatively
affect our operations and your investment.  There can be no assurance that there
will not be further terrorist attacks against the United States or United States
businesses.  These attacks or armed  conflicts may directly  impact our physical
facilities or those of our suppliers or  customers.  Furthermore,  these attacks
may make travel and the  transportation  more  difficult and more  expensive and
ultimately  affect the sales of our products  and services in the United  States
and overseas.  Also as a result of  terrorism,  the United States may enter into
armed  conflicts  which  could  have  a  further  impact  on  our  domestic  and
international sales, our supply chain, our production capability and our ability
to deliver our products and services to our  customers.  Political  and economic
instability  in some  regions of the world may also result and could  negatively
impact our  business.  The  consequences  of any of these  armed  conflicts  are
unpredictable,  and we may not be able to  foresee  events  that  could  have an
adverse effect on our business or your investment.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic

The severe acute respiratory  syndrome,  or SARS, now shows 111 deaths and 2,781
cases  worldwide  according  to the latest  World  Health  Organization  ("WHO")
figures  from April 10 2003.  The  sickness is  believed to have  started in the
southern  Chinese province of Guangdong last November and has spread fast to the
whole world especially in Mainland China and Hongkong. Although it is said to be


                                       20
<PAGE>
under of control, it has caused recession for Asian tourism. Numerous trips have
been  postponed,  hotel  bookings  have  been  cancelled  and  events  are being
rescheduled.  Tourism is feeling the consequences of the conflict in Iraq but it
is more by fears of a deadly form of pneumonia,  originated  in southern  China,
that people change their plans.  This disease may affect the  communication  and
travel much, which may result negative impact in our business.  As how soon will
this epidemic be thoroughly  resolved is  un-predictable,  and how sever will it
affect to the  economic,  we are unable to  forecast  the degree of the  adverse
effect on our business and operation.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

Hartcourt  does  not  have  any  patents,  trademarks,   licenses,   franchises,
concessions or royalty agreement.

Employees

Hartcourt  currently  employs  nine (9)  full-time  employees  at its  principal
executive  offices  located in Shanghai,  China.  The executive  offices provide
corporate  administrative and advisory services to other Hartcourt  subsidiaries
and affiliates. FTL and its subsidiaries employs at its one site located in Hong
Kong  four  (4)  full-time  employees,   comprising  of  one  (1)  engineer  and
technicians and three (3) office/administrative  personnel. Sinobull Information
employs  thirty-eight  (38)  full-time  employees  at all four of its  locations
consisting  of  fourteen  (14)  engineers,   programmers  and  technicians,  and
twenty-four (24) sales, office and administrative personnel.

Research and Development

Hartcourt has spent many months doing  research and  development  of our current
business  strategy,  the cost of which has been borne  through  the  issuance of
securities in the acquisitions.  Because of the continuing technological changes
that characterize the Internet,  Web design and  telecommunications and computer
industries,  Hartcourt's success will depend, to a considerable extent, upon its
ability to continue to acquire  companies  that are ahead of the  competition in
our industry and develop  competitive  technologies  internally through research
and development.  Management does not anticipate incurring any significant costs
for  such  research  and  development  in  the  near  term  other  than  through
acquisitions.

Subsequent Events

On February 14, 2003, Hartcourt signed a definitive agreement to purchase of 45%
of all of the interest of HuaQing  Corporation  Development Co. Ltd. and HuaQing
Economics  Development  Co.  Ltd.  ("HuaQing"),  for a  total  consideration  of
$2,202,545. The purchase price will be paid by issuance of 15,960,474 restricted
common shares of the Registrant.  HuaQing,  founded in 1992 in Shanghai,  China,
specializes in the niche DIY (do-it-yourself) PC marketing and distribution. The
company owns and operates 9 DIY stores in Shanghai area, helping customers build
their own PCs with  components,  technology and after sales support  provided by
HuaQing.  Huaqing  was  officially  promoted  as  one  of the  top  100  Hi-Tech
enterprises by the Shanghai  Government's  Science and Technology  Commission in
2001 and 2002. It was recently  voted by IDG's  Computer World (China) as one of
the Top 100 Computer Marketing Companies in China.

Hartcourt  Capital,  Inc.,  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Hartcourt  launched  a
bi-monthly  magazine called China Report on March 4th, 2003. The first issue has
a  circulation  of  20,000  copies,  distributing  directly  to  the  investment
community including investment banking firms, fund managers, venture capitalists
and brokerage houses  throughout the US, Europe and Asia. The magazine will also
be available via website,  www.china-report.net,  and through  weekly E-mails to
registered  readers  starting  May 2003.  The  objective  of the  magazine is to
provide  investors  with  updates and analysis on the  fast-changing  investment
environment and opportunities in China.

As of March 31 2002,  Hartcourt has received the remaining  fund from Enlight to
satisfy the totaling funding requirement $1,000,000.

No assurance can be given that Term Sheet and Heads of Agreements will result in
actual  agreements or that the terms of the agreements will not be significantly
changed,  or that  any of the  financing  needs  to  consummate  the  agreements
discussed  below will be  successfully  completed.  Hartcourt's  partners in the
above  mentioned  joint  ventures  are  expecting  Hartcourt  to provide two key
elements in these joint ventures:  technology and investment capital.  Hartcourt
management,  which has recently hired individuals with extensive  experience and
expertise in relevant industry sectors,  intends to provide Internet  technology
by merging with or acquiring  companies already active in these  businesses.  On
the financial side,  Hartcourt has raised and continues to raise the substantial
funds  necessary  to carry out the plans of its venture  partners by selling its
own common shares to selected  investors/partners and bringing in partners whose
contributions   to  each  joint   venture  will  include  the   necessary   cash
contributions.  If Hartcourt is not able to raise the necessary  funds indicated
in the agreements, the agreements will need to be modified or cancelled.

Item 2.  Description of Property

Hartcourt's  principal  executive  offices  are  located  at Suite  1310,  China
VentureTech Plaza 819 Nanjing Xi Road,  Shanghai,  China,  200041.  The premises
consist of approximately 116 square meter of office space with a reception room,
two office rooms and a file room.  Hartcourt is leasing  these  premises from an
unaffiliated party and occupied these premises since October 20, 2002. The lease
term is for 1 year  commencing  on October 20, 2002 and the monthly rent amounts
to $1,566 with no escalation of monthly rent during the lease term.

As of April 1, 2003, FTL leases a net total of 1,289 square feet. at the monthly
rental of HK$23,500  with tenancy  expires on July 31, 2004.  After  sub-leasing
further 250 square feet to third parties, total area in use is 1,039 square feet
with net rental of HK$18,200(US$2,333) per month.

Sinobull  Information leases its four office premises in various cities in China
consisting  of  approximately  370.4 square meters.  Lease terms range for up to
two years period  commencing  from May 20, 2001 to December 14, 2004 at the rate
of RMB20,515 (US$2,483) per month.

Hartcourt  believes that its facilities  currently  under lease are adequate for
its  present  activities,  and  that  additional  facilities  are  available  on
competitive  market terms to provide for such future  expansion  of  Hartcourt's
operations as may be warranted.




                                       22

Investment Policies

Hartcourt  has placed no  limitation  on the  percentage  of assets  that may be
invested in any one investment.  This policy may be changed by Hartcourt's Board
of  Directors  and  without  a  vote  of  Hartcourt's  security  holders.  It is
Hartcourt's policy to acquire assets primarily to add to its equity base and for
income.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

Comerica Bank of California v. Pego Systems,  Inc., et al. ("Pego"), Los Angeles
Superior Court Case No. NC 027 075:

This litigation concerns  Hartcourt's alleged obligation as an alleged guarantor
of Pego's  alleged  obligation  on a  promissory  note that is asserted to be in
non-financial default. The complaint alleges that Hartcourt executed a guarantee
of obligation of Pego which obligation went into non-financial default. Comerica
entered the stipulation for entry of judgment to enforce a settlement agreement,
which stipulation calls for certain payments and transfers of funds by Pego, and
a  judgment  of   approximately   $635,000   exists  of  which  Hartcourt  is  a
co-guarantor.   The  assets  of  Pego  including  accounts  receivable  will  be
liquidated  to pay down the debt.  The case is ongoing  and the  Company has not
accrued  any of  the  guaranteed  payments  in its  financial  statements  as of
December 31, 2002.

Charles Hogue v. The Hartcourt  Companies,  Orange Court Circuit Court,  Florida
Case No. CIO 00-2190, filed on or about March 22, 2000:

Charles  Hogue  filed a  complaint  to  claim  a  finder's  fee for  introducing
Hartcourt to a potential  acquisition target.  Hartcourt sent the payment to Mr.
Hogue via check in the amount of $40,500 for such  finder's  fee,  but Mr. Hogue
demanded  that he be paid in shares of  Hartcourt  with the  amount of shares in
dispute.  Hartcourt's  counsel in Florida failed to timely file an Answer to the
complaint,  and default  judgment in the amount of $2,901,752 was entered in the
trial court on January 31, 2001  without a trial and despite  serious  questions
raised by Hartcourt as to the propriety of the exercise of jurisdiction  over it
by a Florida court.  Hartcourt brought a motion to set aside the default,  which
was  denied.  Hartcourt  appealed  the  judgment  entered by the trial  court on
multiple grounds. On June 7, 2002, the Florida Appellate Court ruled in favor of
Hartcourt and reversed the judgment in its  entirety,  finding that Florida does
not have jurisdiction over Hartcourt. The case is no longer active.

In Apollo Financial Network, LLC v. The Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc., Los Angeles
Superior Court Case No. BC 245398, filed on February 21, 2001,

Apollo Financial Network filed an action for breach of contract arising out of a
consulting agreement, which was canceled in January 1999. The matter was settled
when the Company  stipulated  to entry of  judgment  against it in the amount of
$11,500.00,  which  represented  an  amount  less  than the  projected  costs of
defense. Judgment in such amount was entered against the Company on November 20,
2002.  The case is ongoing and the Company has not accrued any of the guaranteed
payments in its financial statements as of December 31, 2002.




                                       23

The Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings  arising out of the
normal  course  of its  business.  These  claims  and legal  proceedings  relate
primarily to contractual rights and obligations,  and employment matters.  While
there can be no  assurance  that an adverse  determination  of any such  matters
could not have a material  adverse impact in any future period,  management does
not believe,  based upon  information  known to it, that the final resolution of
any of these  matters  will have a material  adverse  effect upon the  Company's
consolidated financial position and annual results of operations and cash flows.

Item 6.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

General

The following is a summary of certain  information  contained in this Report and
is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by  the  detailed  information  and  financial
statements that appear elsewhere herein.  Except for the historical  information
contained herein,  the matters set forth in this Report include  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of the "safe  harbor"  provisions  of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These  forward-looking  statements are
subject  to risks and  uncertainties  that may cause  actual  results  to differ
materially. These risks and uncertainties are detailed throughout the Report and
will be further  discussed  from time to time in  Hartcourt's  periodic  reports
filed with the Commission. The forward-looking statements included in the Report
speak only as of the date hereof.

Plan of Operation

The Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc. is a holding and development  enterprise that is
building a broad network of Internet, media, and telecommunication  companies in
Greater  China.   In  partnership   with  leading  Chinese   entrepreneurs   and
government-sponsored entities, Hartcourt is developing and investing in emerging
technologies  while  building  an  integrated   commercial   framework  for  its
subsidiaries  and their partners.  Hartcourt's  operative  business  strategy is
designed to establish market-leading position and facilitate a series of venture
divestitures  via IPO or public  mergers in its five main business  divisions to
fully  realize the value of these assets for its  investors.  The four  business
divisions are Sinobull Financial Group,  Media Services Group,  E-learning Group
and Hartcourt Capital.

Hartcourt,  through a combination  of expertly  managed  internal  expansion and
accretive strategic  acquisitions,  is executing plans to provide a sustainable,
growing,  diversified and profitable revenue base throughout its operations. The
company is aggressively identifying and pursuing the best business opportunities
available.  Through a continued  refinement  of  operational  efficiencies,  and
increasing   revenue  margins,   the  Company  is  providing  a  clear  path  to
profitability for its current and future businesses."

Results of Operations

Comparison of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.

During 2002,  Hartcourt  continued its  previously  implemented  plan to acquire
profitable  companies  that were in  established  industries  with a history  of
growth.  Since mid-1999,  Hartcourt has been focusing on assembling a collection
of  companies  and  services  that  will  provide  citizens  of China  with next
generation  communication services,  including China-focused Internet access and
financial  portals,  online  share  trading  services,  data  broadcasting,  and
financial services.  The Company signed underwriting  agreements for the initial
public offerings of shares of its two most developed investments,  both of which
were planned in the year 2001.  On January 4, 2002,  pursuant to an Agreement of
Merger and Plan of Reorganization,  Hartcourt's subsidiary Elephant Talk Limited


                                       28
<PAGE>
merged with Staruni Corporation,  a California corporation,  organized under the
laws of  California  and  listed on the over the  counter on  bulletin  board of
NASDAQ  exchange.  Prior to the  conclusion  of the merger,  Hartcourt  acquired
additional  equity in Elephant  Talk Limited and  retained a 51.7%  ownership in
ETCI upon conclusion of the merger.  Hartcourt plans to eventually  build all of
its current operations into stand-alone  entities that will also be taken public
on US and/or Asian Financial markets.

The  operations of Hartcourt for 2002  primarily  consisted of operations of FTL
(58.53% ownership interest),  StreamingAsia (85% ownership  interest),  Sinobull
(wholly-owned  subsidiary),  AI-Asia  (wholly-owned  subsidiary)  and  Hartcourt
Capital,  Inc.  (wholly-owned  subsidiary)  and its  investments and advances to
entities in China, Hong Kong and US.  ElephantTalk (51% ownership  interest) and
HCTV (66.7% ownership  interest) were  disposed-off as of September 30, 2002 and
June 30 2002  respectively.  The  operations  of  Hartcourt  for 2001  primarily
consisted of operations of FTL (58.53% ownership  interest),  StreamingAsia (85%
ownership   interest),   ElephantTalk   (51%   ownership   interest),   Sinobull
(wholly-owned   subsidiary),    HCTV   (66.7%   ownership   interest),   AI-Asia
(wholly-owned  subsidiary) and Hartcourt Capital, Inc. (wholly-owned subsidiary)
and its investments and advances to entities in China, Hong Kong and US.

Net sales and cost of sales.  The Company  recorded net sales of  $1,137,011  in
year 2002,  compared to $10,621,205 in 2001.  Net sales  primarily  consisted of
sales of wireless  pagers,  rental of  equipment,  and the related  Internet and
telephone services provided by FTL;  real-time  financial data services provided
by Sinobull  Financial  Information  using a satellite  network to transmit data
specializes in stock quotes,  futures,  indexes and commodities to its customers
in China;  and  StreamingAsia  providing  web hosting and  software  development
services in audio and video  delivery or streaming  solutions.  The  significant
drop in sales of 2002  when  compared  to 2001 is  mainly  due to the fact  that
Hartcourt  has  disposed  ETLK of in October  2002.  The sales of Elephant  Talk
covered 72% more of the total sales in 2001. Moreover,  the financial sector has
been affected badly by the stock market  downturn.  As a result,  most banks and
brokerage  houses  have  reduced  their  spending  on  data  services,   causing
additional  price-cutting  among  competitors.  Cost of sales  included  cost of
capacity associated with the sales recognized from providing  telecommunications
services,  costs  associated  with in acquiring  data-feed  from Honk Kong Stock
Exchange  and  various  commodities  exchanges  in  China  via TV  channels  and
satellite transmissions,  equipment rental in providing event real-time Internet
broadcasting and on-demand  multimedia content delivery and total web solutions.
The increase in operating margin is mainly due to the higher margin in financial
sector,  compared to lower  margin in  tele-communication  services  rendered by
Elephant Talk only included in 2001.

Selling,   general  and  administrative  expenses.  SG&A  expenses  amounted  to
$2,774,011 for 2002 compared to $7,379,192.  Apart from dispose off subsidiaries
in  2002,  the  decrease  in  SG&A  is  primarily  attributed  to  reduction  in
consulting,  legal and administrative costs incurred in 2002 as compared to that
in 2001.  Hartcourt  completed the  acquisition  of Elephant Talk Limited in May
2001, which required  significant legal and  administrative  expense to complete
the  acquisition.   Hartcourt  has  taken  drastic  cost  cutting  measures  and
deliberately  slowed  down the  development  process  of all  projects  on hand.
Included in the SG&A  expenses  in 2002,  the  Company  made bad debt  provision
amounted to $1,115,963 against these doubtful accounts for prudent purpose.  The
Company  recorded an impairment of $1,563,040  during 2002 to write down certain
intangible assets and its investments in Sinobull Group, FTL Group and Streaming

                                       29
<PAGE>
Asia Group.  Such  expense was not included in the SG&A for the year ended 2002.
Hartcourt  continued to eliminate less productive units,  reduced consulting and
legal costs associated due to  restructuring  of the Company's  business in Hong
Kong and China.

Impairments.  Impairments  in year  2002  amounted  to  $1,563,040  compared  to
$1,785,262 in the year 2001. As of 31 December 2002,  except for Sinobull Group,
Hartcourt wrote-off all the goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries.

Gain on disposal of  discontinued  operations.  Gain on disposal of discontinued
operation  in 2002 consist of the realized  gain of  $1,284,048  for disposal of
ETCI,  and the gain of $659,653  for disposal of HCTV and  Topomedia.  Hartcourt
disposed of the  operations  of UAC  Exchange in 2001 and  recognized  a gain of
$1,060,371.

Loss from discontinued operations. Hartcourt discontinued the operation of ETLK,
HCTV  and  Topomedia  during  2002  and  incurred   $1,020,252  in  losses  from
discontinued   operations.   The  loss  in  2001   represents  the  losses  from
discontinued operation of UAC exchange.

Gain on extinguishment of debt: During 2001, the Chairman of the Company donated
5,000,000 shares of Hartcourt to the Company.  Hartcourt  settled a loan payable
of $1,862,630 in exchange of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Hartcourt.  The
accompanying  financial  statements at December 31, 2001 reflect the donation of
5,000,000  shares  recorded  as  treasury  shares  and  satisfaction  of loan of
$1,862,630.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Hartcourt's  principal  capital  requirements  during  2002  were  to  fund  the
acquisitions of growth oriented  Internet related  operating  companies in China
and Asia. Hartcourt raised substantial funds necessary to carry out its plans of
acquisitions by selling its own restricted common shares to accredited investors
and bringing in business  partners  whose  contributions  included the necessary
cash.

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, Hartcourt incurred net losses
of $2,550,002  and  $5,329,408  for the years ended  December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. In addition,  Hartcourt's working capital deficit of $2,155,058 is
not adequate to meet its minimum  monthly  expenses.  These factors,  as well as
negative cash flows from current operations of $1,852,669, Hartcourt's inability
to meet debt  obligations,  and the need to raise additional funds to accomplish
its objectives,  create substantial doubt about Hartcourt's  ability to continue
as a going concern.

Hartcourt  has taken  certain  restructuring  steps,  which in the  management's
opinion will provide the  necessary  capital to continue its  operations.  These
steps included: 1) the settlement of certain matters of litigation and disputes;
and 2) signed stock sale agreements with accredited investors to raise in excess
of $1,000,000. The Company plans to actively seek funding sources once Hartcourt
is able to discontinue and dispose-off all  non-profitable  assets by selling or
spinning-off or restructuring to minimize loss or liability.

Operating activities. The net cash used by operating activities in 2002 amounted
to  $1,852,669  compared to  $1,462,551  in 2001.  The net increase in operating
activities  resulted  primarily due to more payments on settle of liabilities in

                                       30
<PAGE>
2002 compared to 2001. It resulted also due to the increase of minority interest
offset by increase in depreciation and  amortization,  increase in shares issued
in lieu of compensation and services and other changes in operating  activities.
In  addition,  the  increase of the cash used in  discontinued  operations  also
contributed much to the operational cash flow.

Investing  activities.  Net cash  obtained in investing  activities  amounted to
$2,538,962  during 2002 compared to net cash used of $338,950  during 2001.  Net
cash  flow in  during  2002  primarily  resulted  from  the  proceeds  on  notes
receivable  of  $1,039,389  and the  proceeds  from  disposal of  investment  of
$1,597,450.  Net cash used in investing  activities in 2001 is mainly due to the
payment of $823,585 in notes  receivable,  purchase of property and equipment of
$51,721,  offset by cash of $690,202  acquired in acquisitions of  ElephantTalk,
Sinobull Group and StreamingAsia.

Financing activities. Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $878,554
in 2002  compared to net cash  provided by financing  activities  of  $1,984,912
during 2001.  Hartcourt paid $7,986 for the loans due to related  parties,  paid
$265,691 in net from  issuance  of common  stock and  adjustment  of share price
during 2002, proceeds from shareholders' loan $139,865,  made payments on factor
$198,205,  made  payments on long-term  debt of $433,299,  and made  payments on
capital  lease of  $113,238.  During  2001,  Hartcourt  raised  $1,988,501  from
issuance  of  common  stock,  made  payments  on loans  due to  related  parties
amounting to $865,048,  made  payments of  shareholders  loans of $999,436,  and
proceeds of long tern debt of $1,619,807.

The ability of  Hartcourt to continue as a going  concern is still  dependent on
its  success  in  obtaining  additional  financing  and  fulfilling  its plan of
restructuring as outlined above.

Item 7.  Consolidated Financial Statements

Financial  Statements  are  referred  to in Item  13(a),  listed in the Index to
Financial  Statements and filed and included  elsewhere herein as a part of this
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Item  8.  Changes  in and  Disagreements  with  Accountants  on  Accounting  and
Financial Disclosure

On August 15, 2002,  Hartcourt engaged Loral  International  ("Loral") Certified
Public Accountants,  as the Hartcourt's independent accountants to report on the
Company's  consolidated  balance sheet as of December 31, 2002,  and the related
consolidated  statements of income,  stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
year then ended.  The decision to appoint Loral was approved by the Registrant's
Board of Directors.  During the two most recent fiscal years,  Hartcourt had not
consulted  with  Loral  regarding  either  (1)  the  application  of  accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on Hartcourt's financial statements, and
either a written  report was  provided to  Hartcourt or oral advice was provided
that Loral concluded was an important factor considered by Hartcourt in reaching
a decision as to the accounting,  auditing or financial  reporting issue; or (2)
any  matter  that was  either the  subject  of a  disagreement,  as that term is
defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K and the related  instructions
in Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in
Item 304 (a) (1) (iv) or Regulation S-K.

months  period from the date of  issuance.  Fifty  percent  (50%) of Mr.  Chen's
annual  salary is payable in cash and the balance is payable in shares of common
stock of Hartcourt.  The conversion  price is the average 20-day market price on
the first day of each  month for the  salary  owed that  month.  During the year
2002,  Mr. David Chen received  450,000  shares valued at $31,500 and $10,000 in

per annum for  fiscal  years  2000 and 2001.  Payments  were to be made in equal

restricted common shares for the same amount of compensation. Share price was to
be calculated at 50% of the market  trading bid price on January 1st of the year
of employment.  During the year 2001, Dr. Phan agreed to receive compensation of
1,245,793 shares of common stock valued at $250,000 as salary for the year ended

provides for an annual  salary of $120,000 in the first year and $130,000 in the
second year.  Fifty percent (50%) of Mr. Cohn's annual salary is payable in cash
and the  balance  is  payable  in  shares  of  common  stock of  Hartcourt.  The

<PAGE>
conversion  price is the closing market price on the first day of each month for
the salary owed that month.  Mr. Cohn resigned from his position in May 2001 due
to a mutual agreement.  During the year 2001 and 2000, Mr. Cohn received $17,000
and $60,000 of his salary in cash and Hartcourt  issued 69,833 and 20,558 shares
of restricted common stock valued at $ 50,000 and $60,000, respectively.

On April 12, 2000,  Hartcourt  entered  into an  employment  agreement  with Dr.
Charlie Yang, Chief Executive  Officer,  for a term of three years of employment
starting May 1, 2000. During the first year ending April 30, 2001, the agreement
provides  for an annual  salary of  $168,000  in cash plus an option to purchase
50,000  shares of  Hartcourt  common  stock at the  market  price of May 1, 2000
exercisable within twenty-four (24) months of its grant. In the second and third

Hartcourt  as of May 1, 2001 and May 1,  2002,  exercisable  within  twenty-four
months of its grant.  On June 1, 2001,  Dr. Yang  resigned  from his position of
Chief Executive Officer at Hartcourt.  During 2001, Mr. Yang received $70,000 in
salary and did not exercise his options to purchase  50,000  shares of Hartcourt
common stock as of March 10, 2003.

In April 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) to attract and
retain  qualified  persons  for  positions  of  substantial   responsibility  as
officers,  directors,   consultants,  legal  counsel,  and  other  positions  of
significance to the Company.  Under the Plan,  incentive and non-qualified stock
options may be granted to  directors,  officers and key employees to purchase up
to  2,000,000  shares of common  stock at an option price not less than the fair
market value of the stock at the time the option is granted;  the option  period
shall not  exceed  ten years  from the date of grant.  Except in the case of the
death or disability of an option holder,  vested options lapse 90 days following
termination of continuous employment by Hartcourt. Vested options lapse one year
after the death or disability of an option holder. In order to attract employees
and  consultants  to render  high-quality  services  under this  stagnate  stock
market,  the Board  decided to remove the  limitation on the number of shares of
the option. As of March 10, 2003, options to purchase 5,320,000 shares of common
stock were  outstanding  under the plan at exercise prices ranging from $0.10 to
$5.75 per share.

Stock Option Plan

In April 1995, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the Plan) to attract and
retain  qualified  persons  for  positions  of  substantial   responsibility  as
officers,  directors,   consultants,  legal  counsel,  and  other  positions  of
significance  to the  Company.  The  Plan  provides  for  the  issuance  of both
Incentive  Stock Options and  Non-Qualified  Stock Options.  The Plan,  which is
administered  by the Board of Directors,  provides for the issuance of a maximum


                                       37
<PAGE>
of  2,000,000  options to purchase  shares of common  stock at the market  price
thereof on the date of grant.  Such options are generally  exercisable over a 10
year  period  from the date of  grant.  Each  option  lapses  90 days  after the
optionee has terminated his continuous activity with the Company, except that if
his continuous activity with the Company terminates by reason of his death, such
option of the deceased optionee may be exercised within one year after the death
of such  optionee.  Options  granted under the Plan are restricted as to sale or
transfer.  All options  were  granted at not less than fair value at the date of
grant and have terms of 10 years. In order to attract  employees and consultants
to render  high-quality  services  under this stagnate  stock market,  the Board
decided to remove the limitation on the number of shares of the option.

The following table summarizes the activity in the plan:

All stock options  issued to employees  have an exercise price not less than the
fair market value of the  Company's  common  stock on the date of grant,  and in
accordance  with the accounting for such options  utilizing the intrinsic  value
method  there is no  related  compensation  expense  recorded  in the  Company's
financial  statements.  Had compensation cost for stock-based  compensation been
determined  based on the fair value at the grant  dates in  accordance  with the
method  delineated in Statement of  Accounting  standards No. 123, the Company's
net loss and loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, would
not have been increased.

In connection with providing  consulting  services,  on July 21, 2000, Hartcourt

2001 and were later  extended to July 20,  2003.  The options were issued at the
fair  market  value on the date of  issuance  and,  therefore,  no  expense  was
recorded.

In connection with providing consulting services,  on January 1, 2002, Hartcourt
granted to Alan Phan, options to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Hartcourt stock at
a price of $0.38 per share.  The  options  expired on  December  31,  2004.  The
options  were  issued  at the fair  market  value on the date of  issuance  and,
therefore, no expense was recorded.

Class I warrants and 1,035,308 of Class II warrants  exercisable at $0.69375 per

As at December 31, 2002,  Hartcourt  has a $400,000 note  receivable  from Pego,
non-interest  bearing,  payable  upon  demand and  unsecured.  As the Company is
facing  financial  problem,  Hartcourt  made  100%  bad debt  provision  in this

                          Independent Auditor's Report

To  The Board of Directors of
       The Hartcourt Companies, Inc.
       19222 Pioneer Blvd., Suite 100
       Cerritos, California 90703

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets of The Hartcourt
Companies,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2002 and the  related
consolidated statements of loss and retained earnings,  changes in stockholders'
equity  and cash flows for the year then  ended.  These  consolidated  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements  based  on our  audit.  The  financial  statements  of The  Hartcourt
Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 were audited by another
firm whose report dated April 12, 2002 expressed a qualified opinion (See Note #
2b).

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  Those  standards  require  that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used, and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements refer to above present
fairly  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of The  Hartcourt
Companies,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as of December  31, 2002 and the results of
their  operations  and  their  cash  flows  for the year  then  ended in 2002 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles  generally accepted in
the United States of America.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue as a going  concern.  As  discussed  in Note # 2q to the
financial  statements,  the Company has suffered  recurring  losses and negative
cash flow from the operations that raise  substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans in regard to these matters are
also  described  in Note # 2q.  The  financial  statements  do not  include  any
adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                The  accompanying   consolidated  financial  statements  of  the
                Company for the current year of 2002 mainly include the accounts

                purposes  of  these   consolidated   financial   statements  the
                Hartcourt  Companies,  Inc. and its Subsidiaries are referred to
                collectively as the "Company" or "Hartcourt".

                The accompanying 2001 consolidated  financial  statements of the

                                       13
<PAGE>
                c)    Use of Estimates

                The  preparation  of the  consolidated  financial  statements in
                conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting   principles
                requires  management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that
                affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and
                disclosures of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
                the consolidated financial statements,  and the reported amounts
                of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
                results could differ from those estimates.

                d)    Cash and Cash Equivalents

                The Company considers all short-term  highly liquid  investments
                that are readily  convertible  to known amounts of cash and have
                original   maturities  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash
                equivalents.

                e)    Accounts Receivable

                The Company,  may from time to time, extends unsecured credit to
                customers.  Credit is  extended  based on an  evaluation  of the
                customer's  financial  conditions.  The  allowance  for doubtful
                accounts  is based on  management's  evaluation  of  outstanding
                accounts  receivable  at the end of the  reporting  period.  The
                total accounts receivable of the Company amounted to $260,306 as
                of December  31,  2002,  while the  accounts  receivable  of the
                Company amounted to $1,443,673 as of December 31, 2001.

                f)    Inventory

                Inventory  is stated at the lower of cost or market,  cost being
                determined on the first-in,  first-out (FIFO) method. Due to the
                scope of limitation, the physical inventory count as of December
                31, 2002, and 2001 were not performed.

                g)    Property and Equipment

                The  Company's  property  and  equipment  are  stated at cost or
                estimated  fair  market  value  on  the  date  of   acquisition.
                Depreciation is provided over the estimated  useful lives of the
                respective assets on the straight-line  basis from five to forty
                years.  The Company's  policy is to evaluate the remaining lives
                and  recoverability  in light of current  conditions.  Leasehold
                improvements  are amortized  over the term of the lease.  Due to
                the  scope  of  limitation,  the  physical  inventory  count  of
                Property and  Equipment  as of December 31, 2002,  and 2001 were
                not performed.

                h)    Intangibles

                Per  Statement of  Financial  Accounting  Standard  (SFAS) #142,
                goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life
                will  not be  amortized,  but  rather  will be  tested  at least
                annually  for  impairment.  Intangible  assets  that have finite


                                       14
<PAGE>
                useful  lives will  continue to be  amortized  over their useful
                lives, but without the constraint of an arbitrary ceiling.  (See
                Note# 8, Intangibles)

                i)    Accounting for Business Combinations

                Per Statement of Financial  Accounting Standard (SFAS) #141, all
                business  combinations  will be  accounted  for by the  purchase
                method.  Acquisitions  were  recorded as purchases in accordance
                with  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No. 16 (APB  #16),
                "Business Combinations",  and the purchase prices were allocated
                to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based upon their
                estimated fair value at the purchase  date. The excess  purchase
                price over the net asset value has been recorded as goodwill and
                is included in  intangibles in the  accompanying  balance sheet.
                The operating  results of the acquired  entities are included in
                the Company's  consolidated  financial statements from the dates
                of acquisition.

                j)    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

                Per SFAS #144,  long-lived  assets will be analyzed annually for
                indications  of impairment.  Impairment of long-lived  assets is
                assessed by the Company whenever there is an indication that the
                carrying   amount   of  the   asset   may   not  be   recovered.
                Recoverability  of these assets is  determined  by comparing the
                forecasted  undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to
                the assets' net carrying value.  The amount of impairment  loss,
                if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value
                of the  assets  and the  estimated  fair  value  of the  related
                assets.

                The company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by
                measuring  the  carrying   amount  of  the  assets  against  the
                estimated  undiscounted  future cash flows associated with them.
                At the time such  flows of  certain  long-lived  assets  are not
                sufficient  to recover the carrying  value of such  assets,  the
                assets are adjusted to their fair values. Accordingly,  based on
                these evaluations, management has adjusted the carrying value of
                investments and goodwill in 2001 and 2000.

                k)    Revenue Recognition

                Revenues  from  product  sales  are  recognized  upon  delivery.
                Revenue  from  service  is  recognized  when  the  services  are
                provided.  The Company recognizes sales from  telecommunications
                services as services are provided.  Payments received before all
                of the relevant criteria for revenue  recognition are satisfied,
                are recorded as deferred revenue.

                l)    Income Taxes

                The Company provides for income taxes based on the provisions of
                Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  (SFAS)  #109,



                                       15
<PAGE>
                "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes",   which  among  other  things,
                requires that  recognition of deferred  income taxes be measured
                by the  provisions  of enacted tax laws in effect at the date of
                financial  statements.  A  deferred  tax asset or  liability  is
                recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
                reporting.  Deferred tax expense  (benefit) results from the net
                change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

                Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation  allowance  when,
                in the  opinion of  management,  it is more likely than not that
                some  portion  or all of the  deferred  tax  assets  will not be
                realized.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are adjusted for
                the  effects  of  changes  in tax laws and  rates on the date of
                enactment.

                m)    Stock-Based Compensation

                The Company has adopted a method of accounting  for  stock-based
                compensation  plans as  required  by SFAS #123  "Accounting  for
                Stock-Based  Compensation".  SFAS #123 allows for two methods of
                valuing  stock-based  compensation.  The first method allows for
                the continuing application of Accounting Principle Board Opinion
                No.25 (APB No.25) in measuring stock-based  compensation,  while
                complying  with the  disclosure  requirements  of SFAS #123. The
                second  method  uses an  option  pricing  model to  value  stock
                compensation   and  record  as  such  within  the   consolidated
                financial statements. Under both methods,  compensation cost for
                stock  options is measured  as the  excess,  if any, of the fair
                market  price of the  Company's  stock at the date of grant over
                the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.  Such cost
                is charged to operations. The Company will continue to apply APB
                No.25, while complying with SFAS #123 disclosure requirements.

                n)    Foreign Currencies Translation

                Assets and  liabilities  denominated  in foreign  currencies are
                translated  into  U.S.  dollars  at the  rates in  effect at the
                balance  sheet date.  Revenues and expenses  are  translated  at
                average  exchange  rates  for  the  year.  Related   translation
                adjustments   are   reported   as  a   separate   component   of
                shareholders' equity,  whereas,  gains and losses resulting from
                foreign  currency  transactions  are  included  in the result of
                operations.  As the  Hong  Kong  dollars  are  pegged  to the US
                dollars, there were no material foreign currency gains or losses
                in the year  ended  December  31,  2002 and  2001.  The  foreign
                currency  losses  were  $9,407  and  $9,595  for  2002  and 2001
                respectively.

                o)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

                SFAS  #  107,   "Disclosures   about  Fair  Value  of  Financial
                Instruments", requires disclosures of information about the fair
                value  of  certain   financial   instruments  for  which  it  is




                                       16
<PAGE>
                practicable  to  estimate  that  value.  For  purposes  of` this
                disclosure,  the fair  value of a  financial  instrument  is the
                amount at which the  instrument  could be exchanged in a current
                transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale
                or liquidation.

                The Company's financial  instruments consists primarily of cash,
                accounts receivable,  notes and other receivables,  investments,
                advances,  accounts payable and accrued expenses,  capital lease
                obligation,  notes payable and loans payable,  and other current
                liabilities  which   approximates  fair  value  because  of  the
                relatively short maturity of those instruments.

                p)    Loss Per Common Share

                Per SFAS# 128,  "Earnings Per Share", the company is required to
                provide  the  calculation  of Basic  and  Diluted  earnings  per
                shares.  Basic  earnings  per share  includes no dilution and is
                computed  by  dividing   income   (loss)   available  to  common
                shareholders  by the weighted  average  number of common  shares
                outstanding for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflect
                the  potential  dilution of  securities  that could share in the
                earnings of the entity.  Since the  Company  incurred  losses in
                2002 and 2001,  basic and diluted per share  amounts are treated
                as the same. If the  outstanding  stock options and warrants are
                included, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

                q)    Going Concern

                As shown in the accompanying  consolidated financial statements,
                the  Company  incurred  a net loss from  current  operations  of
                $3,934,201  and $7,779,341 for the years ended on December 31 of
                2002 and  2001,  negative  cash  flows  from the  operations  of
                $832,417 and $984,224 as well as working  capital  deficiency of
                $2,155,058 and $3,889,779 are noted as of December 31, 2002, and
                2001. These matters raise  substantial doubt about the Company's
                ability to continue as a going concern.

                The Company has taken certain  restructuring steps, which in the
                management's  opinion  will  provide  the  necessary  capital to
                continue its operations.  These steps included:  1) disposals of
                unprofitable  operations,  2) acquire profitable  operations via
                stock exchanges, 3) signed stock sale agreements with accredited
                investors,  such as  Enlight  Corporation,  to raise  additional
                capital and 4) the  settlement of certain  matters of litigation
                or/and  disputes.  The Company  plans to actively  seek  funding
                sources  once  Hartcourt is able to  discontinue  non-profitable
                assets or restructuring them to minimize losses or liabilities.

                The ability of the  Company to  continue  as a going  concern is
                dependent on its success in fulfilling  its plan and its ability
                to attain profitable operations. Should the Company be unable to
                continue,  it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its
                assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.

NOTE 3          INVESTMENTS AND ACQUISITIONS

                a)    Purchase of Financial Telecom Limited

                On August 17,  1999,  Hartcourt  entered  into a stock  purchase
                agreement  with  Financial  Telecom  Limited  (FTL), a Hong Kong
                corporation,  to  purchase  4,964,990  shares of  common  stock,
                representing  58.53% of the total common stock outstanding.  The
                purchase  price was agreed to be HK $4.713 (US$ 0.604) per share
                for a total of  HK$25,563,842  or  US$3,277,412,  payable 50% in
                cash and the remaining  balance in Hartcourt common shares.  The
                acquisition  was  completed on October 4, 1999.  Hartcourt  made
                total cash payments of $1,638,706 and issued 1,754,552 shares of
                its common  stock to FTL. As of 31 December  2002,  FTL sold all
                the  shares  of  Hartcourt   common  stock  to  satisfy  certain
                obligations.

                b)    Investment in Streaming Asia Ltd

                On April 14, 2000,  Hartcourt  Companies Ltd., formerly known as
                Sinobull.com Inc., ("HCL") subscribed 1,200,000 newly issued and
                outstanding  fully  paid  shares  (50%  ownership  interest)  of
                StreamingAsia    Limited   for    HK$7,000,000    (approximately
                US$897,500)  on behalf of  Hartcourt.  Hartcourt  advanced  such
                funds to HCL for StreamingAsia Limited acquisition. In addition,
                both HCL and Hartcourt  agreed and confirmed that as part of the
                financing  arrangements,  HCL  held  the  subscribed  shares  in
                StreamingAsia  Limited on behalf of  Hartcourt  and those shares
                were  transferred  to Hartcourt on December 29, 2000. On May 16,
                2001 Hartcourt  acquire an additional 35% ownership  interest in
                StreamingAsia  Limited  for a total  purchase  consideration  of
                HK$800,000 (approximately US$102,564).  The accounts of this 85%
                owned   StreamingAsia   Limited   are   consolidated   into  the
                accompanying financial statements.

                c)    Investment in eMPACT Solutions, Inc.

                On April 30, 2000,  Harcourt  executed a Subscription  Agreement
                and  Investment  Representation  and  agreed  to  subscribe  and
                purchase  three  hundred  (300)  shares  of Class B  Convertible
                Preferred  Stock,  par value  $0.001  per  share of  eMPACT  for
                $300,000.  The accompanying financial statements at December 31,
                2002 reflect Hartcourt's  investment in eMPACT of $300,000 under
                the cost method of accounting.

                d)    Investment in Haike Caijin

                On September 7, 2000, Hartcourt signed a joint venture agreement
                with Hopeman Computer Services Corporation Limited (Hopeman") to
                form a joint venture in Shanghai and jointly  develop and market
                a 24-hour financial  television program and/or provide financial
                data services to existing/new  financial television programs for
                the China market.  The new joint venture was named "Haike Caijin
                TV" (HCTV).  In February  2001,  HCTV was formed and a temporary
                license  was  obtained  to  conduct  the  business  of the joint


                                       18
<PAGE>
                venture.  As  of  December  31,  2001,  Hartcourt  has  invested
                $100,000  towards its 66.7%  equity  ownership in the HCTV joint
                venture.  Due  to  the  complex  regulations  regarding  foreign
                investment in the Chinese TV industry sector and due to the fact
                that Hartcourt will not have the sufficient resources to support
                the investment capital required,  on August 28, 2002,  Hartcourt
                has agreed to sell its entire  interest in this joint venture to
                Jiang Tai.  According to an  agreement,  Hartcourt  will receive
                back all of its investment  from Jiang Tai within 90 days of the
                agreement.  As of  December  31,  2002  Hartcourt  has  received
                US$70,000. (See Note #19)

                The  Company  has  accounted  for  the   investment   under  the
                consolidated   method  of  accounting  from  inception   through
                December 31, 2001.  While the HCTV investment was recorded under
                the cost method of accounting on December 31, 2002.

                e)    Investment in Elephant Talk Communications Inc. (ETCI)

                In May of 2001,  Hartcourt and Elephant Talk Communications Inc.
                ("ETCI"),  formerly  known as Elephant Talk Limited)  executed a
                Sale  and  Purchase   Agreement,   whereby  Hartcourt   acquired
                approximate  51% of the  ownership  interest  in  Elephant  Talk
                Communications  Inc.  for a  total  consideration  of  4,756,058
                shares  of  Hartcourt's  common  stock  with  a  fair  value  of
                $2,944,000,  and a note  payable  of  $1,250,000.  On January 2,
                2002,  Hartcourt purchased  additional  7,500,000 shares of ETCI
                from a  shareholder  for a note  payable of $140,595  bearing an
                annual   interest   rate  of  8%.  At  the   conclusion  of  the
                transactions, ETCI become a subsidiary of Hartcourt.

                In September of 2002,  Hartcourt  decided to divest/spin off its
                ETCI investment and terminate its relationship with ETCI. During
                the spin off process, ETCI delivered five (5) million restricted
                common stock to the Company, the Company in turn distributed the
                shares as dividends to all Hartcourt shareholders. In October of
                2002,  Hartcourt and ETCI  completed a divesture  agreement,  in
                which Hartcourt  agreed to return to ETCI  12,895,579  shares of
                ETCI in  exchange  for 2  promissory  notes  of  $1,250,000  and
                $140,595,  plus  4,756,058  shares of Hartcourt held by ETCI and
                its shareholders. A legal opinion was issued by an attorney, who
                also  served as the escrow  agent of the  complicated  divesture
                procedure.  It states that the final  exchange of documents  and
                escrow  activities were  consummated on October 30, 2002. It was
                noted that the Stock  Transfer  Agent's  record was not  updated
                until in January of 2003. As a result,  no ETCI  investment  was
                recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company
                as of December 31, 2002. (See Note #9, Discontinued Operations).

                f)    Investment in Hopeful Internet Technologies Ltd

                On May 16,  2000,  Hartcourt  Companies  Ltd.  (HCL) and Hopeful
                Internet  Technologies  Limited  ("HIT",  see Note #1,  General)
                entered  into an  agreement  whereby  HIT  acquired  through its
                wholly-owned  subsidiary  Sinobull  Information  Company Limited


                                       19
<PAGE>
                ("Sinobull  Information"),  all  of  the  operating  assets  and
                business  of Guo Mao Science &  Technology  Co. Ltd. On December
                28,  2000,  HCL has paid  $500,000  in cash  (received  from the
                Company) and issued 805,802 shares of the Company's common stock
                valued at $500,000 to Sinobull  Information  in February 2001 as
                the  consideration  paid  for  the  purchase  of  51%  ownership
                interest of HIT.  Since HIT became a subsidiary  of the Company,
                the 805,802 common shares issued to Sinobull Information Company
                Limited are  reflected  as treasury  shares in the  accompanying
                financial statements

                g)    Investments in Education Project

                non-cancelable   lease  agreements  expiring  at  various  dates
                through  December,  2004.  The  non-cancelable  operating  lease
                agreements   provide  that  the  Company  pays  property  taxes,
                insurance  and  certain  operating  expenses  applicable  to the
                leased  premises.  Rent expense for the years ended December 31,
                2002 and 2001 was $162,006 and $372,408, respectively.

                The future  minimum  annual lease  payments  required  under the
                operating leases are as follows:

                (B) Employment Agreement

                On June 1, 2002, The Company entered an employment contract with
                its Acting Chief Executive Officer  ("Executive",  Mr. D. Chen )
                to provide  salary,  shares  option,  and other fringe  benefits
                through May 31, 2003. Minimum salary payments under the contract
                currently  amounted  to  $120,000  per  year.  Payments  to  the
                Executive will be made in equal monthly  installments  of $5,000
                cash and $5,000 worth of the Company's common shares each at the
                first of each month.  The average 20 days  trading  price of the
                Company  prior  to the  first  of the  month  will  be  used  to
                calculate this  compensation  amount.  During the year 2002, Mr.
                Chen  received  450,000  shares valued at $31,500 and $10,000 in
                cash for his compensation.

                Employment  agreements with the other  executives are terminable
                with or without  cause with prior notice of 90 days or less.  In
                certain  instances,  the  termination  of employment  agreements
                without  cause  entitles  the  executives  to certain  benefits,
                including  acceleration  of the  vesting  of stock  options  and
                severance payments.

                (C) Consulting Agreement

                The  Company  has entered a  consulting  agreement  with a major
                shareholder,  who  had  been  employed  by  the  Company  as its
                Chairman & CEO before  January  1, 2002,  to provide  salary and
                shares option through December 31, 2004. Minimum salary payments
                under  the  contract  currently  amounted  to $1 per year and an
                option  to  purchase  three  (3)  million  common  shares of the
                Company at the closing  price of the Company on the first day of
                each year.

                a) Comerica Bank of California vs. Pego Systems. Inc., et al
                   ---------------------------------------------------------
                ("Pego"), Los Angeles Superior Court No. NC 027075
                --------------------------------------------------

                The litigation  concerns  Hartcourt's  alleged  obligation as an
                alleged guarantor for Pego. The complaint alleges that Hartcourt
                executed a guarantee of obligation of Pego which obligation went
                into  non-financial   default.   The  parties  have  executed  a
                stipulation  for  entry of  judgment  to  enforce  a  settlement
                agreement,  which  stipulation  calls for certain  payments  and
                transfers of funds by Pego. In the event of non-payment by Pego,
                Hartcourt's liability could be approximately  $635,000, with the
                amount decreasing upon payments by Pego. During 2001 the Company
                realized an additional $150,000 related to guarantees under this
                obligation.  The Company has not accrued any additional  amounts
                as of December 31,2002.

                   -------------------------------------------------------
                Circuit Court, Florida case No. CIO 00-2190, filed on or  about

                March 22, 2000
                --------------

                Charles  Hogue  filed a  complaint  to claim a finder's  fee for
                introducing   Hartcourt  to  a  potential   acquisition  target.
                Hartcourt  sent  the  payment  to Mr.  Hogue  via a check in the
                amount of $40,500 for such finder's fee, but Mr. Hogue  demanded
                that he be paid in shares of Hartcourt with the amount of shares
                in dispute. Hartcourt's counsel in Florida failed to timely file
                an answer to the complaint and a default  judgment in the amount
                of $2,901,752 was entered on January 31, 2000. Hartcourt brought
                a motion to set  aside the  default,  which was  denied  and for
                which Hartcourt appealed. The Appellate Court ruled in favor the
                Company  and  reversed  the  verdict  as well as  dismissed  the
                complaint  for lack of  jurisdiction.  The Company  subsequently
                filed and  received a judgment  against Mr. Hogue in Los Angeles
                Superior Court in the principal amount of $5,349 for Mr. Hogue's
                failure to return levied funds.

                Apollo Financial  Network filed an action for breach of contract
                arising out of a  consulting  agreement,  which was  canceled in

                Case No. BC 268 302, cross-complainants
                ---------------------------------------

                Gerald    Newman   and   Arlene    Goldstein-Newman    filed   a
                cross-complaint  against the Company and others for  conversion,
                breach of fiduciary  duty,  constructive  fraud and  intentional
                infliction  of emotional  distress  arising out of the Company's
                refusal of demands made such  cross-complainants  to prematurely
                and  improperly  remove Rule144  restrictions  on certain shares
                held in the name of another  shareholder.  The Company  plans on
                vigorously contesting such matter.

                e) The  Company  has been  threatened  with a labor claim in the
                   ------------------------------------------------------
                approximate  amount of $52,000.00 from Manu Ohri, its former CFO
                and Director of the  Company.  Mr. Manu Ohri left the Company in
                2002 and  becomes a CFO of ETCI in 2002.  The  Company  plans on
                vigorously contesting such matter if it arises.

                f) The  Company  is also  party  to  various  claims  and  legal
                   -------------------------------------------------------------
                proceedings  arising out of the normal  course of its  business.
                -----------
                These claims and legal proceedings  relate to contractual rights
                and  obligations and employment  matters.  While there can be no
                assurance  that an  adverse  determination  of any such  matters
                could not have a material  adverse  impact in any future period,
                management does not believe, based upon information known to it,
                that the final  resolution  of any of these  matters will have a
                material   adverse   effect  upon  the  Company's   consolidated
                financial  position and annual  results of  operations  and cash
                flows.

                (E) Potential liabilities relating to the ceased subsidiaries.

                As mentioned in Note #1,  General,  that the Company  ceased the
                operations of numerous subsidiaries,  during the current year of
                2002. These companies,  not being legally  dissolved,  are still
                legal   entities  as  of  December  31,  2002.   The   Company's
                subsidiaries are located in various geographic locations in Hong
                Kong,  China  and  BVI,  and  are  subject  to  different  legal
                jurisdictions  and laws. Each of the subsidiaries may subject to
                potential  claims,  or  has  un-fulfilled   obligations   or/and
                litigations  which may due to the  cessations of the  operations
                and/or  dismissals  of  employees.  No  risk-exposure  study was
                performed to identify the risks and potential liabilities of the
                Company's  subsidiaries  as of December  31,  2002.  The Company
                legal  advisor  was not able to provide a legal  opinion  nor an
                analysis on legal status of each of these ceased  entities.  The
                financial  statements  for the years ended on December  31, 2002
                and 2001 do not make any  adjustments  for the  possible  result

                from  the  outcome  of  this  uncertainty.  Potential  risks  or
                liabilities  exposures  of in this area  related  to the  ceased
                operating subsidiaries call for special attention,  when reading
                the Company's audit report for the years ended in December 31 of
                2002 and 2001.

NOTE 15         INCOME TAXES

                The  Company  has  deferred  tax assets  for the tax  effects of
                temporary  differences  between  financial and tax reporting for
                the years ended  December  31,2002 and 2001.  The  deferred  tax
                assets consist primarily of net operating losses and impairments
                of investments and goodwill.  The Company has established a 100%
                valuation  allowance against the deferred tax assets at December
                31,2002 and 2001,  because  management is unable to determine if
                it is more likely than not that these net  operating  losses and
                impairments of investments and goodwill will be realized.

                Impairment  of  investments  and goodwill are not  deductible in
                2002 or 2001 for income tax purposes.  Losses on investments for
                income  tax  purposes  may be taken  in the year the  respective
                transactions  are completed.  Goodwill is amortized over fifteen
                years for income tax  purposes or until the Company has disposed
                of its ownership in the entity in which the goodwill relates.

                which are approximately the same as the alternative  minimum tax
                net operating loss carry-forwards,  if not utilized, will expire
                in varying  amounts from 2003  through  2023,  respectively  for
                Federal  and State.  The  realization  of any future  income tax
                benefits from the  utilization  of net  operating  losses may be
                limited.  Federal  and state tax laws  provide  that when a more
                than 50%  change  in  ownership  of a  company  occurs  within a
                three-year period. The net operating loss may be limited. It has
                not been determined if such change has occurred.

                The  valuation  allowance  at January 1, 2001 was  approximately
                $4,358,300. The net change in the valuation allowance during the
                year ended December 31,2002 was an increase of $196,138.

NOTE 16         STOCK OPTION PLAN AND WARRANTS

                (A) Stock Option Plan

                In April  1995,  the  Company  adopted a stock  option plan (the
                Plan) to attract and retain  qualified  persons for positions of
                substantial responsibility as officers, directors,  consultants,
                legal  counsel,  and  other  positions  of  significance  to the
                Company,  The Plan  provides for the issuance of both  Incentive
                Stock Options and Non-Qualified  Stock Options.  The Plan, which
                is  administered  by the Board of  Directors,  provides  for the
                issuance of a maximum of 2,000,000 options to purchase shares of

                                       33

                common stock at the market  price  thereof on the date of grant.
                Such options are  generally  exercisable  over a 10-year  period
                from the date of grant.  Each  option  lapses 90 days  after the
                optionee  has  terminated  his  continuous   activity  with  the
                Company, except that if his continuous activity with the Company
                terminates  by reason of his death,  such option of the deceased
                optionee  may be  exercised  within  one year after the death of
                such optionee.  Options granted under the Plan are restricted as
                to sale or  transfer.  All options were granted at not less than
                fair value at the date of grant and have terms of 10 years.

                The following table summarizes the activity in the plan:

                All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not
                less than the market value of the Company's  common stock on the
                date of grant,  and in accordance  with the  accounting for such
                options utilizing the intrinsic value method there is no related
                compensation   expense  recorded  in  the  Company's   financial
                statements.  Had compensation cost for stock-based  compensation
                been  determined  based on the fair value at the grant  dates in
                accordance  with  the  method  delineated  in  SFAB #  123,  the
                Company's  net  loss  and loss  per  share  for the  year  ended

NOTE 17         SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

                The  Company has four  reportable  segments.  Each  segment is a
                strategic  business that the Company manages  separately because
                each business  develops and sells products to a specific market.
                The four reportable segments are as follows: Telecommunications,
                provides comprehensive  telecommunications  services;  Financial
                Services,  provides  financial  content  through various sources
                including  television,  internet  and wireless  access  systems;
                Streaming Media,  provides internet related software development
                services  with an  expertise  in audio  and video  streaming  to
                businesses. The Consulting,  E-learning Group and Capital Groups
                operating segments do not meet the quantitative thresholds for a
                reportable  segment  and are  therefore  included in the "Other"
                category.  The principal  market for the  Company's  products is
                China.   Foreign   sales,   primarily   in  China   amounted  to
                approximately  $561,255 in 2002. The Chinese  operations account
                for  approximately  $3,017,684 of  consolidated  total assets in
                2002.  The  accounting  policies of the segments are the same as
                described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The
                Company  evaluates  segment  performance  based on  income  from
                prospective  operations.  All intercompany  transactions between
                segments have been  eliminated.  As a result,  the components of
                operating  loss for one segment may not be comparable to another
                segment. Segment results for 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
