By: /S/ Richard Yan --------------------------- Richard Yan Acting Chief Financial Officer Financial Controller Date: April 12, 2003 ================================== hartcourt.com Dear Shareholders: We sincerely apologize for the problem caused by the “E” being added to our symbol. The reason was that we did not include in our 10K filing Form 302 certification required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We had been given the misinformation that OTC companies are exempt from the Act. Our lawyer, Mr. John Furutani, has faxed this certification to the OTC exchange board. We hope that the matter will be resolved within the next 2 days. We take full responsibility for this error. Even though it would not have any effect on Hartcourt operation or its financial result, it reflects our poor judgment. We are sorry and we promise to make up for this trouble in a very very near future. The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. =================================== Posted by: Tin-Berrygood In reply to: boatRgirl who wrote msg# 21755 Date:4/23/2003 1:41:04 PM Post #of 21758 Just got off the phone with Mr. Furutani, Hrct's Attorney and he told me the same thing I read from rapall on RB..A 302 cert was inadvertently omitted from the filing..This cert has to do with the Sabanes Oxley(sp?) act..He called China very early this morning and had them fax the signatures to the SEC..They told him that the "E" should be off by tomorrow..I hope so but ya never know..At least from Hrct's side everything that can be done is done..The SEC representative told him that this has been happening quite a bit because it's a brand new procedure..Mr. F asked why no one alerted Hrct before the "E" came..They told him that since there is over 37,000 companies that they couldn't have responded quick enough to prevent it... Like we said earlier, this is just another small bump in the road..Lesson learned and we all move on...The Big MO will be there when we get back...For now those buying at this one day sale price will be richer for the experience...lol Well done Mr. Furutani!..Quick reaction and quicker response...Aloha Aloha

American investors Amador Pastrana and Regis Possino are called as wire-pullers of the cheat ring. German web page translated that and was able to search in English Source: Facts of, 19.04.2001 Company: Dukes & company Quotation: criminality - whole simply over the ear gehauen. Of Daniel Ammann E. Amounted to sophistiated dealers sell shares, whose course drove them before artificially up. Dozens of Swiss investors lost thereby much money. It was an interesting offer, and it came to the correct time. When the broker called, the Waadtlaender businessman Michael M. had straight money liquid, which it wanted to invest. M. was offered the opportunity to take part favorably in a much promising American computer company. "you know, how one became rich with Microsoft shares, if one had entered, said only early enough" the broker still. The stock broker worked so respectablly, as it is right itself for someone, which is active for a broker house with best references. Its Dukes & company, so stehts in the firm brochure, co-operate closely with one the prominent trustee inside Switzerland: with the Infidar, a daughter of the renowned bank bear. This reference, which guaranteed quality, left Michael M. over the fact to way there marriages that the Dukes has its head office on the Philippines. The businessman, who was not a stock exchange beginner, bought for much money shares of a small US company, which manufactures plates for computers. The ECS Industries, then knew the Dukes broker allegedly on good authority, would stand briefly before the assumption by a competitor. Beautiful profits on exchange are guaranteed thereby. But instead of fast profits M. made large losses: Briefly after he had bought the shares, the course of the ECS Industries went on driving downhill. M. reacted rapidly and gave to Dukes the order to sell the securities. Nothing. Dukes was swallowed as from the ground, reacted neither to calls nor to faxes and enamels. it the broker owes 336,000 dollar. And the fortune administrator Infidar? Their name was abused. She never co-operated according to own data with Dukes & company. Michael M. is on an international ring of share cheats pleases, who manipulate on a large scale stock exchange courses. They camouflage themselves as brokers and sell to notionless investors shares, whose course them hochgepuscht artificially. Once they call themselves Dukes, another time Sherman Brothers, then Muller & Sons or United Capital management. They act from the Philippines and from Thailand and find their victims ever more frequently in Switzerland. Stefan V. from work living about was concerned by the Thai broker IAM. He bought on it shares of the American DDD, which specialized in computer-Grafiken. And, when the courses turned out in chutes, the same experience as Michael M. made: "I gave order to sell around order to sell. But IAM did simply for weeks nothing." Its loss: 100,000 dollar. The inhabitant of zurich restaurant economics Daniel Fischer, a specialist for plant fraud, represents a dozen equal Swiss, who was damaged in a similar way like Michael M. and Stefan V.: "everyone lost on the average 100,000 to 200,000 dollar", says Fischer. It proceeds from a "new dimension in the plant fraud", which it calls "new Ecocrime" - following those new Economy. Because also cheats use the possibilities, which offer the globalization and the new technologies, the on-line trade via InterNet above all. The international fraud ring, white lawyer Fischer, manipulates the courses of the shares, which sell it to their victims. That is relatively simple straight at small companies, whose shares are acted only little. Already with some thousands dollar handelsvolumen can upward be pressed their stock exchange course. The cheats use: They cover themselves up at favourable prices with shares of a small company. By its brokers, one proceeds from approximately twenty societies, creates her in the consequence an artificial market: The brokers buy and sell under itself the shares of the company and let so the courses constantly rise. Then they telephone to potenziellen investors and offer "secrettap" on. The brokers sell the favorably purchased shares to them at the highly trimmed price. Because it never gave a genuine market for the securities, the courses break in thereafter. The bounced investors carry the loss. In a collecting complaint, which is aimed at at present in the USA also by Swiss, the They could extract themselves from national jurisdiction far going. Because a Swiss about, who buys like Michael M. American shares over a Philippine broker and which money for it deposits into a Hongkonger bank, has it heavily to come to his right. "plant cheats are erpicht to create personal and geographical distance from their victims", say Peter Cosandey, long years inhabitants of zurich district lawyer for white-collar crime and today partner with the trust company KPMG: "the InterNet makes that today very simple for them." It guarantees an anonymity, which is to be abused easily. Thus the allegedly independent stock broking platform exists www.countex.com for example. As seat of Countex an address is indicated in Nyon in the canton Waadt. But also in this case with the label "Switzerland" a wrong seriosity is vorgegaukelt. The Website countex.com is operated just of the Philippine Dukes & company, which Michael M. betrogen have. Since its experiences with the share cheats is the damage lawyer Daniel Fischer convinced, "that the criminals became unbelievably dreist owing to the new technologies". An indication: They do not stop with their illegal business also if they fly up at a place: "you change simply its name, its address, their homepage - and continue to make", say Fischer. "everyone lost on the average 100,000 to 200,000 dollar." Daniel Fischer, lawyer von Geschaedigten Manila: Plant cheats operate with preference from exotic places - and submerge, as soon as they took the money. Lawyer: Daniel Fischer represents investors. Tipps Caution, case You must consider that: As one protects its money against plant cheats. ++ sound too beautiful an offer, in order to be true, then is it probably also like that. There is no profit without risk: The more highly the chances of an investment are the larger, are also the danger of a loss. Therefore distrust to offers which guarantee more than ten per cent of net yield per year. Shares are suitable for kleinanleger only as long-term plant. ++ most plant cheats make themselves by telephone to their victims near. At first they are reserved and offer "Insider information". They become later persistent and urge on a business. Present the listener, if one pressurizes you. ++ are particularly careful you, if a mediator or a broker has seat abroad. It makes more difficult to proceed legally against it. Become distrustfully, if no concrete address is indicated, but only telephone numbers, Websites or p.o. boxes. Ask for national licenses, and you test the quoted references. Alleged "Swiss partners" know often nothing from their luck. ++ cheats work with high polish brochures and specializedChinese, in order to impress you. Do not let from the pseudo jargon intimidate itself. Speak with your house bank, or you consult a specialized lawyer before conclusion of a contract. Buy only shares of companies, about which you informed thoroughly. Make sure that you can tell or sell your plant at any time. And you never buy an enticing offer on credit.
