25Aug1999 USA: Hartcourt Acquires 58 Percent of Financial Telecom of Hong Kong. 12:03 GMT
LOS ANGELES-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Aug. 25, 1999-The Hartcourt Companies Inc. (OTC BB:HRCT) Wednesday announced that it has agreed to acquire 58 percent of all outstanding shares of Financial Telecom Ltd. (FTL) of Hong Kong.
FTL is an information service provider specializing in transmitting real-time financial data and news via a network of fixed-line and wireless systems, including a new-generation high-speed FLEX wireless PDA for mobile users.
FTL is also the marketing agent for Standard & Poor`s Comstock, a division of McGraw Hill, in Hong Kong. FTL has been a premier pacesetter in this business for the last 16 years.
FTL plans a major expansion in China by setting up a nationwide distribution of data, linking major cities via satellite up-link and marketing these services via a network of paging operators as resellers.
The quick service launch will be made possible by the recent joint venture between Hartcourt and UAC Online Stock Trading of China and by strategic alliance with existing satellite-based operators and paging systems.
FTL and UAC will also join forces to set up an Internet portal, specializing in financial data and stock market quotes for China and Hong Kong. Existing customers of the two companies will ensure the success of the Web site.
At present, FTL maintains a Web site, www.asianetvest.com.hk, for its clients, which include major investment houses, banks, securities firms and mutual funds of Hong Kong.
Dr. Alan Phan, chairman and chief executive officer of Hartcourt, said: "We bought into UAC Online Stock Trading with the goal of turning it into an E-Trade of China. FTL is operating like a small Standard & Poor`s of Hong Kong.
"By linking the two companies together, we would have a financial powerhouse in China and Hong Kong stock market. In addition, Hartcourt is ready to complete another joint venture with a national ISP in China. In my personal opinion, Hartcourt, via FTL and UAC and the ISP, will be a major player in the fast-growing field of China Internet. We are very excited at the prospect."
Stephen Tang, president of FTL, agreed: "China stock market is growing very fast. Hartcourt and UAC will help us capture the market share much more quickly than if we do it on our own. The potential benefit for each and all parties is tremendous. Looking from a long-term perspective, it is a definite winning combination."
The transaction is scheduled to close within the next 30 days.

So, habe ein wenig recherchiert. Zunächst war leider nur ein Artikel von 1997 aufzutreiben (trotzdem aufschlußreich). Von hier aus gelangt man aber immerhin zu der Seite www.asianetvest.com/hk , die meiner Meinung nach sehr interessant ist (unbedingt mal anschauen). Informationen zum Zusammenhang FTL und asianetvest bekommt man auch noch über die Adresse www.asiawind.com/pub/hksr/anvterm.shtml
FTL ist keineswegs eine Klitsche, wie auf einem anderen Board gepostet wurde, sondern sehr interessant.

03Mar1997 HONG KONG: OVERSEAS CHINESE LOG ON TO STOCKS.
By GLENN MULCASTER.
Overseas Chinese investors represent more than 80 per cent of initial subscribers to the AsiaNetVest real-time Hong Kong stocks service hosted by local Internet Service Provider (ISP) AsiaNet.
AsiaNetVest is a joint effort between financial data terminals supplier Financial Telecom and the ISP, which employs SunSoft`s Java technology to relay requested information on stocks and warrants trading on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
The service, which costs $380 per month, is accessible to Internet users running Netscape`s Navigator browser version 3.0, which has the necessary Java software plug-ins.
Cyrus Hui, managing director of AsiaNet, said of the first 50 Internet users who had signed on in the first week of the service, most were logging on from Canada, New Zealand, the United States and Australia.
"We are targeting the overseas Chinese and other foreign investors who want to track Hong Kong stocks," Mr Hui said.
He said there were other competing real-time services available in Hong Kong but none available on the World-Wide Web.
"This is aimed more at the retail than the institutional investors," he said.
"But because it is real time we allow the user to have this as a trading tool. Other Web-based systems have a 15-minute delay."
There is no option for a limited free trial for fear that such a system would be open to abuse but the site (www.asianetvest.com.hk) gives a demonstration.
AsiaNet is an ISP formed by the City University of Hong Kong in conjunction with Taiwanese investors Acer, Asian fonts specialist DynaLab and networking operator ATM Communications Corp.
