(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
Organization
Hart Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was originally incorporated on
October 29, 1982 ("Inception") in the state of Utah. The Company was involved in
certain research and development activities from Inception through September
1990. From 1983 to 1986, the Company was involved in the development of a
non-electric, water- powered dishwasher ("Dishwasher Assets"). The Dishwasher
Assets did not develop beyond the prototype stage and, in 1993, they were sold.
In 1988, the Company pursued operations of an Underground Storage Tank Leak
Detection System ("Detection System") for use in petroleum storage applications
through its newly created Environmental Services Division ("ESD"). The ESD was
also involved in sludge de-watering through its Transportable Treatment Unit
("TTU"), which the Company obtained in 1990. The TTU commenced operations in
1990, however, poor market conditions forced the cessation of its operations
later that year. In July 1992, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of
Medilife Holdings Limited ("Medilife"), which owned nursing homes in the United
Kingdom. In July 1993, upon ensuing litigation, the Company assigned its
contractual rights to the shares of Medilife and the underlying assets and
certain causes of action against the Medilife shareholders to a third party in
exchange for investment securities. In 1993, the Company acquired sign
fabrication assets and commenced equipment leasing activities. Difficulties in
securing viable leases terminated these activities and in 1995, the assets were
sold. Beginning December 1992, the Company has had no operations and,
accordingly, is a company in the development stage. Management has been pursuing
business opportunities in the equipment leasing industry and other industries.
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 (1) share in the Nevada corporation for every 20 shares
held in the Company. 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. The merger was accounted for at historical bases in a
manner similar to a pooling-of-interests.
Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses
from operating activities since Inception. This is a direct result of the
Company having no operating revenues to cover fees for professional services and
other overhead that the Company has incurred. The Company has received financial
support from NuVen Advisors, Inc. ("NuVen"), an affiliate as discussed in Note
3, since 1994 and is dependent upon NuVen for future working capital. The
Company's plan is to continue searching for additional sources of equity and
working capital and new operating opportunities. In the interim, the Company's
existence is dependent upon continuing financial support from NuVen for at least
the next 12 months. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Principles of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Common stock equivalents were not considered in the loss per share calculations
as the effect would have been anti dilutive.
Issuance of Common Stock
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, the Company
issues common stock for assets, services and to reduce debt. These issuances
have been recorded in accordance with APB 16 at the fair market value of the
stock issued, or the fair market value of the assets acquired, services
provided, or debt forgiven, whichever value is more clearly evident.
Note 3. RELATED PARTY AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company entered into an advisory and
management agreement with NuVen to perform administrative, human resource and
merger/acquisition services. Pursuant to such agreement, the Company agreed to
pay NuVen $36,000 annually, payable monthly in $3,000 increments in arrears, and
granted NuVen an option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock
exercisable at a price of $.10 per share. The Company expensed $9,000 during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, each, and had $218,189 due to
NuVen as of March 31, 1999.
In January 1995, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr.
Luke, pursuant to which Mr. Luke is to hold the office of President through
December 2000. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Luke
$54,000 per annum in cash or in the Company's common stock payable monthly in
arrears, and granted him an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at an exercise price per share of $.01 (Note 5). No cash payments
were made to Mr. Luke by the Company during the three-month period ended March
31, 1999 and 1998 for services provided. The Company expensed $13,500 during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, each, and had $229,500 due to
Mr. Luke as of March 31, 1999. Mr. Luke expects to satisfy such obligation
through the issuance of common stock.

share (Note 5). Effective July 1, 1997, Mr. Dong resigned as Chief Financial

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
1998
There were no operations during the three months ended March 31, 1999. As a
result, there were no operating revenues or cost of revenues recorded during the
three months ended March 31, 1999.
The Registrant's general and administrative expenses were $25,545 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $36,017 for the same period
last year. The change is primarily attributable to continued services provided
by professional consultants and other advisors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant has continued to incur net losses and negative cash flows
from operating activities. The Registrant had minimal cash and cash equivalents
at March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, respec- tively, and working capital
deficiency of $38,398 and $38,353 as of March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998,
respectively. The working capital deficiency is a direct result of the
Registrant incurring professional, consulting and advisory services and other
overhead during the periods. As of the date of this Report, the Registrant has
no material commitments for capital expenditures and no ommitments 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.
Going Concern
As a result of the Registrant having no revenue producing activities, the
Registrant has limited cash and cash equivalents remaining as of March 31, 1999,
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 1999. Such conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Registrant's ability to continue as a going concern.
