Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 1998
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Business Activities
Basis Of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all normal adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The unaudited condensed financial statements include the
balance sheet and statements of operations and cash flows of Hart
Industries, Inc. ("Company") as of March 31, 1998 and for the three
month period then ended. It is suggested that these condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1997. The results of operations for the period ended
March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full year.
Organization
The Company was in the development stage from incorporation in October,
1982 to September 30, 1990. Activities through September 30, 1990
principally consisted of organizing the Company, issuing common stock
for cash, services, and equipment, negotiation of license agreements
and incurring research and development costs. All costs, except those
associated with the license agreements, patents, trademarks and
equipment costs, were expensed as incurred during the development
stage. In December, 1990, the Company sold its assets and all rights to
the non-electric dishwasher for a note receivable and future royalties.
During 1990, the Company began performing sludge de-watering operations
through its Transportable Treatment Unit (TTU) and was taken out of the
development stage for accounting purposes. The revenue generated in
1990 was from the Environmental Services Division and the TTU. There
was no revenue generated in 1991 from the TTU. 1992 revenue was
generated through the Environmental Services Division. Since 1992,
there have been no operating revenues through the date of this Report.

Reorganization
Effective March 8, 1994 the Company reorganized via a merger with a
newly formed Nevada corporation whose name became Hart Industries, Inc.
at the effective date. The Merger Agreement was approved by the
Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting held on January 18, 1994.
Under the Merger Agreement each shareholder received one share in the
Nevada corporation for every twenty shares held in the Company. Any
fractional shares resulting from the merger were rounded up to the
nearest whole share. As a result of the merger, the number of
authorized shares of common stock increased from 10,000,000 to
50,000,000 while retaining the same $.01 par value. All share and per
share amounts have been restated to give effect to the merger.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred recurring net losses, a working capital
deficiency, has limited liquid resources and no current operations.
Management's intent is to keep searching for additional sources of
capital and new operating opportunities. In the interim, the Company
will keep operating with minimal overhead and key administrative
functions will be provided by an affiliate. Accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements have been presented under the
assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
To enhance comparability, the fiscal 1997 financial statements have
been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform with the financial
statement presentation used in fiscal 1998.
Note 2. Business Condition
The Company has experienced negative cash outflows from operating
activities through 1992 and ceased operations in March 1992, prior to
capital restructuring and change in management. Cash contributions from
its then affiliate provided the financial support necessary for the
Company to satisfy its obligations through 1992. Since January 1993,
NuVen Advisors Inc., an affiliate ("NuVen"), has provided financial and
administrative support for the Company's operations. The Company
expects to receive continued financial and administrative support from
NuVen until a new business opportunity is acquired or developed. As of
the date of this Report, the Company has no operations, however, is
continuing to seek new opportunities.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31, 1997
There were no operations during the three months ended March 31,
1998. As a result there were no operating revenues or cost of revenues
recorded during the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The Registrant's general and administrative expenses were $36,017
for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $54,144 for
the same period last year. The decrease is primarily attributable to
the re-negotiation of advisory and management agreements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant has continued to incur net losses and negative cash
flows from operating activities. The Registrant had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $332 and $67 as of March 31, 1998, and
December 31, 1997, respectively, and working capital deficiency of
$505,334 and $469,317 as of March 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997,
respectively. The increase in working capital deficiency is a direct
result of the Registrant incurring professional, consulting and
advisory services and other overhead during the first three months of
fiscal year 1998. As of the date of this Report, the Registrant has no
material commitments for capital expenditures and no commitments for
additional equity or debt financing, and no assurances can be made that
its working capital needs can be met out of future operations or
borrowing.
As a result of the Registrant having no revenue producing
activities, the Registrant has limited cash and cash equivalents
remaining as of March 31, 1998, to finance future operations. The
Registrant has received financial support from NuVen and is dependent
upon NuVen for future working capital. The Registrant's plan is to
continue searching for additional sources of equity and working capital
and new operating opportunities. In the interim, the Registrant's
existence is dependent upon continuing financial support from NuVen for
the remainder of fiscal year 1998. Such conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
