We have received your letter dated July 27, 2007 and are responding to the questions as follow:
Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2006
Plan of Operation, Other Income |
Q1 | . | | Please tell uswhyother operations expenses, tax related expenses and asset |
| | | repairs are not considered operating expenses. Also, tell us the nature of the tax |
| | | related expenses.Further, tell us the nature of the sales of fixed assets. |
|
| | | Answer: These operation expenses are not directly related to the making of air |
| | | compressors. But they are operations of LEK subsidiary which generated |
| | | operational income or expenses. For better disclosure to the general public, we |
| | | disclosed them under Other Income. The nature and tax surcharge and sales of |
| | | fixed asset is explained as footnotes in the Form 10KSB. See page 6 of |
| | | Attachment 1 for details. |

We note your response to prior comment 1 and have the following comments.
Q2 | . | | Please refer to the last paragraphunder #4(b).Confirm to us that the expert is |
| | | aware of being named in the filing. |
| | | Answer: Yes, we confirmed the local expert is aware of it. See Page 26 of |
| | | Attachment 1 for details |
|
Q3 | . | | Please refer to the last sentence in the second paragraph under #5.Since you |
| | | disclose that there are no separable intangible assets apart form goodwill, delete |
| | | the sentence. |
|
| | | Answer: Following your instruction, we deleted the sentence on the beginning of |
| | | Page 27. See Attachment 1 for details. |
Q4 | . | | We note that the purchase price was based on the book value of KMC’s net equity |
| | | as of August 31, 2006. Please confirm to us that the purchase price represented |
| | | the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. |
|
| | | Answer: Yes, we confirm that the purchase price represented the fair value of the |
| | | assets and liabilities acquired. See Page 17 &18 of Attachment 3 –Form 10QSB |
| | | for details. |
Form 8-K filed November 13, 2006 |
We note your response to prior comment 3 and have the following comments.
Q5 | . | | We note that KMC’s fiscal year end differs from your most recent fiscal year end |
| | | by more than 93 days. Please disclose the periods combined and the revenues and |
| | | income for any periods which were excluded from or included both as part of the |
| | | fiscal year and the subsequent interim period under Rule 11-02(c)(3) of |
| | | Regulation S-X. |
|
| | | Answer: After the KMC acquisition, we change KMC fiscal year to the fiscal year |
| | | which ended on April 30 to be consistent to the Registrant reporting. In addition, |
| | | we only included the KMC revenue and expenses starting on the date acquisition |
| | | on 10/30/2006 for our financial reporting purposes. See page 2 of Attachment 2, |
| | | for details. |
|
Q6 | . | | Please refer to the “Pro Forma Adjustment Due to KMC Acquisition” column. |
| | | Revise to separately present columns for KMC’s historical financial statements |
| | | and pro forma adjustments. Also, present each pro forma adjustment gross and |
| | | provide an explanatory note describing each pro forma adjustment. In this regard, |
| | | it appears to us that the adjustment does not give effect to theminority interestin |
| | | KMC. Refer to rule 11-02(b) and (b)(4) of Regulation S-X. |
|
| | | Answer: We present columns for KMC’s historical financial statements and pro |
| | | forma adjustments separately on Form 8-K. We also separated the Minority |
| | | Interests from Tax provision, and disclosed them in the two pro forma statements. |
| | | See Page 7 of Attachment 2 (Form 8K) for details. |
|
Q7 | . | | Please refer to the audit report. The audit report does not comply with Rule 2-02 |
| | | of Regulation S-X. Therefore, the financial statements do not comply with Item |
| | | 2.01 of the Form 8-K. Since it appears to us that the significant level exceeds |
| | | 30%, please provide quantified reconciliation prepared under Item 17 of Form 20- |
| | | F in the notes to the financial statements. |
|
| | | Answer: As a more current US audited report of KMC (included in the Registrant |
| | | annual financial statements ended April 30, 2007) was issued on August 14, 2007 |
| | | and filed with the SEC as Form 10KSB on August 15, 2007. We believe the |
| | | recently issued audit report would provide more relevant financial information of |
| | | KMC (subsequent to the acquisition) than the outdated Chinese audit report which |
| | | was issued prior to the KMC acquisition in 2006. On a moving forward basis, we |
| | | included the current US audit report on KMC to meet the Rule 2-02 of Regulation |
| | | S-X. See Page 5 of Attachment 2 for details. |
|
Q8 | . | | Please revise the title of the pro forma condensed statement of income for 6 |
| | | months ended October 31, 2005 to October 31, 2006. |
|
| | | Answer: Per your instruction, we revised the title of the pro forma condensed |
| | | statement of income for 6 months ended October 31, 2005 to October 31, 2006. |
| | | See Page 7 of Attachment 2 for details. |
