New SinoBull Wireless Product Offers Anywhere-Anytime Personal Financial Data and Trade Executions to Mobile Investors

Proprietary Wireless PDA Makes Promising Debut With Hong Kong Investors

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hartcourt Companies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT; Frankfurt: HCT), www.hartcourt.com today announced that Hong Kong-based Financial Telecom Ltd., a member of the SinoBull Financial Group, has reported that its new SinoBull Wireless Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is experiencing wide popular appeal following the official launch of the new wireless device earlier this week.

The services are offered via Financial Telecom's joint venture with Hong Kong-based Asia Paging Networks. The network has 83 transmitters in Hong Kong that are used to operate a data paging service in Hong Kong. The PDA technology being used was developed by Financial Telecom as a proprietary product for its exclusive use to deliver financial and investment related content to investors and financial professionals in Hong Kong. Those subscribing to the new service will pay US $20 per month to receive personal and real time financial data as well as the ability to access trades executed in Hong Kong markets. Financial Telecom has projected first year revenue of this service should be in excess of US $1 million.

Initial reactions from Hong Kong's brokerage and banking community indicate that the SinoBull Wireless PDA network has received significant interest from the growing mobile investor population. The wireless network has the ability to perform trade notifications for the new Hong Kong Automatic Order Matching and Execution System (AMS3) being deployed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Dr. Charlie Q. Yang, CEO of Hartcourt, said, "The initial success of the SinoBull Wireless PDA proves that innovation and creative thinking can produce new and technologically viable services based on existing network infrastructure. This gives us comprehensive market coverage at very minimal costs. We are exploring the opportunities to expand Financial Telecom's Wireless PDA technology into the Mainland China market as well as other global markets, including the U.S. The Wireless PDA solution offers a very affordable way to provide mobile financial data services to today's investors who demand the freedom that wireless technology brings into their lives."
