Securities and Exchange Commission February 6, 2008 Page 2 Form 8-K filed November 14, 2007 -------------------------------- Financial Statements General 2. We note that you have entered into a stock purchase agreement with Zhongsen International Company Group, Ltd. Please clarify for us why you have not included the financial statements of Zhongsen International Company Group, Ltd. but instead have included the financial statements of its subsidiaries. In addition, please clarify why the financial statements of Qingdao Free-Trading Zone Sentaida International Trade Co., Ltd., Qingdao Sentaida Tires Co., Ltd, and Zhongsen Trading Co., Ltd. have been presented on a combined basis. In this regarding, please clarify if these subsidiaries operate under common control. Zhongsen International Company Group Limited ("Zhongsen") was formed in July 2007 and acquired the subsidiaries in August 2007 for which financial information was presented. The historical financial statements of the acquired subsidiaries are presented on a combined basis for the reason that they are now companies under common control. 3. Please tell us what consideration you gave to including the quarterly financial statements of the subsidiaries of Zhongsen International Company Group, Ltd. in accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B. A Form 8-K was filed on October 29, 2007, reporting that Registrant had entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Zhongsen. Subsequent to entering into this Agreement, the management of Zhongsen was preparing to make presentations to various financial professionals about the company and its future. Such presentations would have provided material information about Registrant that was not in the public domain, and Registrant and Zhongsen concluded that a disclosure under Regulation FD of the financial information included in the presentations was appropriate. Combined Statements of Cash Flows, page 4 ----------------------------------------- 4. Please tell us how you determine it was under SFAS 95 to include your restricted cash balances in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalents balances. According to paragraph 7 of SFAS 95, the total amount of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the period shown in the statement of cash flows shall be the same amounts as similarly titled line items or subtotals shown in statements of financial position as of those dates. Paragraph 8 of SFAS 95 states that cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amount of cash and their maturity are so near that they represent insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company included the restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents because it is cash, it need not to be converted to cash. It is cash deposit in bank specially for issuing letter of credit, note payable and transaction of foreign currency. Usually most of the term of deposits is within 90 days or less, though some Securities and Exchange Commission February 6, 2008 Page 3 are within six months. Therefore, the Company believes it was appropriate to include restricted cash balances in the beginning and ending cash and cash equivalent balances. However, due to the cash that is restricted, the change of the restricted cash should be shown in the cash flows from investing activities on the cash flow statement instead of being combined with the other cash balances. The Company will make restatement for the 2006's statement of cash flows. Note 2.
