NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009 were filed on September 14, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are hereby referenced. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended February 28, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2010.

b) Basis of Consolidation

The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended February 28, 2010 are consolidated to include the accounts of The Hartcourt Companies Inc., the wholly owned subsidiaries Hartcourt China Inc., Hartcourt Capital Inc., Hartcourt Hi-Tech Investment (Shanghai) Inc., Ai-Asia Inc., Hartcourt Education Investment Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Jiumeng Information Technology Co., Ltd, Hartcourt Princely Education Technology Development Company Limited, 60 percent owned Beijing Yanyuan Rapido Education Company and 60 percent owned China Arts and Science Academy from the date of acquisition. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

c) 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. As Hartcourt’s business activities are located in China, substantial amounts of cash are deposited in foreign banks located in China, which do not have the protection programs similar to that of the US (FDIC).

d) Accounts Receivable

The amount of accounts receivable as of February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009 were $ 1,597,695 and $863,244, respectively.

e) Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses are expenses that are allocated into the period in which they are incurred and in subsequent periods, and be amortized within one year (inclusive). They include amortization of low-valued consumables, prepaid insurance expenses, lump-sum payment for stamps in large amount that need to be amortized.

Prepaid expenses generally will be amortized in equal installments and charged as costs or expenses of periods benefiting within one year. If certain prepaid expense items do not have future benefit the Company any more, its un-amortized amount is recorded as an expense for the current period. Prepaid expenses amounted to $37,953 and $5,792 at February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009 respectively and is included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in the accompanying financial statements.

f) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over useful lives of 3 to 10 years. The cost of assets sold or retired and the related amounts of accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.

g) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (ASC 360-10), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of February 28, 2010, there was no impairments of its long-lived assets used in operations.

h) Income Taxes

The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109 (ASC 740), "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

i) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (ASC 275), under the modified-prospective transition method on June 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value. Share-based compensation recognized under the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R includes share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair value determined in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based payments granted prior to and not yet vested as of June 1, 2006 and share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after June 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for the award of these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for the Company’s stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.

j) Foreign Currencies Translation

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are recorded at the balance sheet date at the rate prevailing on that date. Items of income statement are recorded at the average exchange rate. Gain or loss on foreign currency transactions are reflected on the income statements. Gain or loss on financial statement translation from foreign currency are recorded as a separate component in the equity section of the balance sheets, as component of comprehensive income (loss). The functional currencies of the Company are Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong Dollars. The following companies are using Chinese Renminbi: Hartcourt Princely, Hartcourt Education Investment Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, Beijing Yanyuan Rapido Education Company, China Arts and Science Academy, Hartcourt Hi-Tech Investment (Shanghai) Inc., and Shanghai Jiumeng Information Technology Co., Ltd. The following companies are using Hongkong Dollars: Al-Asia Inc., Hartcourt China Inc. and Hartcourt Capital.

k) Basic and diluted earning per share

Earning per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (ASC 260), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net earning per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net earning per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

l) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin N0. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 revises or rescinds portions of the interpretive guidance included in Topic 13 of the codification of staff accounting bulletins in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. Revenue is recognized upon (i) the services are performed, (ii) collectability is probable and (iii) such revenues are contractually nonrefundable.

m) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-9 –Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update addresses certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirement to perform and disclose subsequent-events procedures, removes the requirement that public companies disclose the date of their financial statements in both issued and revised financial statements. According to the FASB, the revised statements include those that have been changed to correct an error or conform to a retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year ending after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-10 –Amendments for Certain Investment Funds. This update defers the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities. The deferral will mainly impact the evaluation of reporting enterprises’ interests in mutual funds, private equity funds, hedge funds, real estate investment entities that measure their investment at fair value, real estate investment trusts, and venture capital funds. The ASU also clarifies guidance in Statement 167 that addresses whether fee arrangements represent a variable interest for all service providers and decision makers. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 –Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. Embedded credit-derivative features related only to the transfer of credit risk in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting as clarified by recently issued FASB guidance. Other embedded credit-derivative features are required to be analyzed to determine whether they must be accounted for separately. This update provides guidance on whether embedded credit-derivative features in financial instruments issued by structures such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and synthetic CDOs are subject to bifurcation and separate accounting. The guidance is effective at the beginning of a company’s first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company accounts for its intangible assets under the applicable guidelines of SFAS 142 (ASC 350) “goodwill and other intangible assets” and SFAS 144 (ASC 360) “accounting for the impairment or disposal of long lived assets”. Where intangible assets have finite lives, they are amortized over their useful life unless factors exist to indicate that the asset has been impaired. The Company evaluates if the assets are impaired annually or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change to suggest that the assets value has diminished. Under SFAS 142 intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are required to be tested annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. During three months periods ended February 28, 2010, the Company recognized no impairment.

At February 28, 2010 and May 31, 2009, intangibles consist of the following:

	February 28, 2010			May 31, 2009

Overview

China’s Education Markets

In 1986, the PRC government implemented a system of compulsory education that requires each child to have at least nine years of formal education. Chinese culture has historically placed a strong emphasis on education. Because of the “one child” policy of the PRC government, Chinese families are generally willing to invest a substantial amount of their financial resources in their only child’s education. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, the Chinese disposable income per capita increased at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 6.7% from 2002 to 2006 and will probably increase at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2007 to 2011. With greater amounts of disposable income, Chinese families are spending an even higher percentage of their disposable income on their children’s education. Education expenditure as a percentage of GDP potentially will grow from 4.0% in 2005 to 4.5% in 2010, according to the China Education Human Resources Report of 2003.

China’s education market is large and growing rapidly because of favorable demographic, consumer spending trends and the increased importance placed on higher and professional education.

According to the Ministry of Education (MOE), 29 million students will reach college age in the next 5 years, a 40% increase and a US$36 billion market. While MOE-controlled universities and colleges still maintain dominant market share, the field is now open for private and foreign investment capital. In addition, MOE has set a timeline to privatize all vocational schools and educational institutions that offer degrees lower than Bachelor by 2010.

According to the China Statistical Yearbook (2007), in 2006, approximately 686 million people in China were between the ages of 5 and 39. Ongoing urbanization has increased the proportion of China’s population living in urban areas from 36.2% in 2000 to 43.9% in 2006, as stated in the China Statistical Yearbook (2007), and potentially will continue to increase. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, average per capita annual consumption expenditures in urban areas in China have increased, from approximately RMB4,998 ($712.8) in 2000 to approximately RMB8,697 ($1,240.3) in 2006. Consumption expenditure on education, cultural and recreational services accounted for 13.8% of total annual consumption expenditures per capita in urban households in 2006, the second largest category after food. We believe these demographic and consumer trends are making people in China increasingly willing to invest in higher and professional education.

China has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. As China’s economy continues to develop, its service industries are playing an increasingly important role. We believe this will increase opportunities in the education markets as people continue to seek advanced skills and professional licenses and certifications.

In August 2006, after reviewing our business condition, competitive position, and opportunities in China, we decided to change our business by focusing on the education market in China to take advantage of the substantial market demand for education services. We plan to not only acquire certain schools we have targeted, but also to run these schools actively by putting together strong faculty teams, incentive plans and strategic expansion programs.

On July 23, 2008, we completed the acquisition of 60 percent of the outstanding equity of Beijing Yanyuan Rapido Education Company (“Beijing Yanyuan”) pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement entered into between the two parties, a well-known training institution in China.

There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies since May 31, 2009.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Short-Term Investment Portfolio

We do not hold derivative financial instruments in our portfolio of short-term investments. Our short-term investments consist of instruments that meet quality standards consistent with our investment policy. This policy specifies that, except for direct obligations of the United States government, securities issued by agencies of the United States government, and money market or cash management funds, we diversify our holdings by limiting our short-term investments and funds held for payroll customers with any individual issuer. As of February 28, 2010, all our cash equivalents represent cash on hand and cash deposit in PRC banks, the interest rate earned on our money market accounts ranged from 0.81% to 1.71% per annum.

Interest Rate Risk

Our cash equivalents are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Interest rate movements affect the interest income we earn on cash equivalents, and funds held for payroll customers and the value of those investments.

Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes

Because we translate foreign currencies (primarily Chinese Yuans and Hong Kong Dollars) into US dollars for financial reporting purposes, currency fluctuations can have an impact on our financial results. The historical impact of currency fluctuations has generally been immaterial. We believe that our exposure to currency exchange fluctuation risk is not significant. Although the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results has generally been immaterial in the past and we believe that for the reasons cited above currency fluctuations will not be significant in the future, there can be no guarantee that the impact of currency fluctuations will not be material in the future. As of February 28, 2010, we did not engage in foreign currency hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are aware that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met, and that maintenance of disclosure controls and procedures is an ongoing process that may change over time.
