HARTCOURT: Interessante Pressestimmen aus China

Hat sich eigentlich mal jemand die Meinung der chin. Presse durchgelesen ? Diese klingen aufgrund der Phan-Mitteilung letzter Woche äusserst positiv. Es war doch ein gelungener Zug von Phan, den Börsengang dort zu vollziehen, da die Chinesen mittlerweile ein wesentlich höheres Interesse haben. Ausserdem stehen die Verträge, es wird sich also über kurz oder lang einiges im Kurs tun. Die 5$-Dividende ist ja schließlich auch nicht zu verachten, zumalPhan auch deutlich daraufhin wies, daß sie sich nach dem 2er-Split verdoppelt. Alles in allem: POSITIVER DENN JE.

22Sep2000 CHINA: US firm to list Net units next year, HONG KONG IMAIL.
By Roger Evers.
ONLINE financial information provider SinoBull.com and Internet technology firm StreamingAsia are to be floated on the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) early next year.
US parent Hartcourt said the GEM would rebound from its recent dismal performance in time for the StreamingAsia IPO in February or March followed by a SinoBull IPO in the second quarter of 2001.
It believes SinoBull.com should be worth US$500 million (HK$3.9 billion) and StreamingAsia US$100 million.
"The stock market will improve remarkably by the end of the year," said Alan Phan, chairman of Hartcourt.
"The market is on the downside. Internationally it is being dampened by the campaigns for the US presidential elections. But it should recover by November."
GEM, branded "the world`s worst market", has taken a lashing since sentiment evaporated from dotcom and high-tech stocks in March.
And while Dr Phan talked up the GEM and technology stocks, he also sought to distance SinoBull and StreamingAsia from the rest of the market.
"We are definitely not a dotcom," he said. "Only 10 per cent of SinoBull`s revenues come from Net-type revenue models like advertising. Ninety per cent is from business transactions, online trading and financial content sale."
SinoBull, which styles itself as a "Chinese Reuters", offers a range of online financial news and research reports as well as the mainland`s only online stock trading platform.
Its services go out to brokerages, banks and media companies across Greater China.
StreamingAsia helps Internet publishers and portals deliver "streaming" live and on-demand video and audio content.
"There are so many companies like Netease, Sina, Sohu and Chinadotcom that dominate the Asian media coverage in the United States," said Mr Phan.
"We`ve suffered from being lumped into the same basket. But we don`t have a huge burn-rate like Sohu.com or Sina.com that are generating a huge loss. We`re actually bringing in revenues."
Hartcourt, which is listed on Nasdaq and Frankfurt, owns 48 per cent of SinoBull Group and 50 per cent of StreamingAsia.
It will split its common shares two-for-one, effective October 31, to its shareholders.
"We chose to list these companies on the GEM board primarily because of their proximity to our operations in China," Mr Phan said.
"There are many analysts following Internet-related GEM-listed issues and the investment community in Asia appears to have a better understanding and response to our accomplishments in China."
The timing of the IPO announcement, two days after the US Senate approved permanent normal trading relations with China, was just a coincidence, according to Hartcourt.

22Sep2000 CHINA: Hartcourt in US$120m double spin-off bid.
By GEM Eric Ng.
Nasdaq-listed Hartcourt Cos plans to raise up to US$120 million by spinning off two subsidiaries on the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) next year.
The Los Angeles-based assets holding company is building a portfolio of Internet and telecommunications service companies serving the mainland market.
Chairman Alan Phan said that Hartcourt had appointed Yuanta Securities and Access Capital as underwriters.
It plans to apply next month to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing for the listings.
"We expect the total market valuation of the two IPOs (initial public offerings) to reach up to US$600 million," he said. "It will be three times the current valuation of Hartcourt Cos."
The company is aiming to list SinoBull Group in the first quarter and StreamingAsia in the second.
SinoBull is a provider of financial news, stock quotes and online stock trading solutions.
StreamingAsia provides solutions to Web publishers that enhance the broadcasting efficiency of audio and video content over the Internet.
Mr Phan said StreamingAsia had recorded revenues of US$2 million since its inception a year ago, and was "slightly profitable". SinoBull was projected to register revenues of US$8 million this year and was "breaking even now".
Hartcourt shares are traded outside of the stock exchange floor, on the over-the-counter market.
Analysts said the company may face difficulty reaching its goal given the depressed market conditions and investors` cautious attitude toward Internet and telecoms counters.
The GEM Index yesterday fell 2.8 per cent to its record low of 398.01.
Mr Phan said he expected market conditions to improve by the time the two subsidiaries are floated.

By Adam Creed, Newsbytes.
Asian Web content company StreamingAsia.com Ltd and online financial services provider SinoBull.com Inc. plan to both go public in Hong Kong next year, according to both companies` parent, the US-listed The Hartcourt Companies Inc.
StreamingAsia provides Asian portal and corporate Web sites with live Internet video and audio publishing services, or "streaming." SinoBull provides online financial news and analysis from its Greater China consumer portals, and offers online trading services for share brokerage houses.
Hartcourt said its China-based subsidiaries will separately make an initial public offering (IPO) by listing on Hong Kong`s Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) Stock Exchange in the first half of 2001.
But all of the IPO shares will go to Hartcourt shareholders, which is to split its common shares 2 for 1, on October 31, 2000.
Alan Phan, Chairman of Hartcourt, said that the listing of the two companies on the GEM exchange was primarily because of their proximity to Hartcourt`s operations in China.

mehr nach den fundamentalen Daten, sondern nur noch nach "Sell on good news." Ich habe selten bei einem Unternehmen einen so genialen backround gesehen und derart positive Nachrichten im Web, aber irgendwie zündet die Maschinerie nicht so richtig. Das dümpeln im 6er Bereich nervt auf jeden Fall ganz gehörig...

Aber ich bleibe drin und dran an dem Teil
