2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended February 29, 2008. They do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2008 included in the Company Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the respective full year.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for the three months ended May 31, 2008 include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tank (Arizona) and People’s Motor International (“PMI International”) and PMI International’s direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries: Dazon International Co., Ltd. (formerly “PMI Asia”, now Dazon International), PMI Import and Export Co., Ltd. (“PMI I&E”), PMI Motorcycle (USA) Co., Ltd. (“PMI USA”), People’s Motor (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. (“PMI Hong Kong”), Dazon Inc., Dazon Arizona Inc., PMI Shanghai Co. Ltd, (“Shanghai Dazon”) and its 50% owned subsidiary, PMI Northern Co., Ltd, ("Shanghai Dazon Northern"), from the acquisition date. Additionally, all historical share count and per share information has been adjusted for the Company’s 4-for-1 forward stock split that became effective on November 6, 2006.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Accounts receivable and other receivable
Accounts receivable and other receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as needed.
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Terms of the sales vary from COD through a credit term up to 10 days and 30 days. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or evaluated market value at the date of acquisition. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Straight line method is used to depreciate the assets according to their respective economic useful lives.
Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets, other long-lived assets and, goodwill is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
Fair value of financial instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Shares to be issued
The Company classifies all shares to be issued as liabilities. Once the Company issues shares, the amounts are classified as Common Stock.
Revenue recognition
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when the delivery is completed, the price is fixed or determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied to be recorded as unearned revenue.
The Company determines title transfer based upon delivery date. For the customers with FOB shipping term, the Company recognizes sales and determines title transferred when delivery of items takes place. For the customers on CNF (cost and freight), the Company recognizes sales and determines title has passed when goods arrive in the port of destination.
Stock-based compensation
Effective March 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123-R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123-R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options based on their fair values. SFAS 123-R supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), which the Company previously followed in accounting for stock-based awards. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) to provide guidance on SFAS 123-R. The Company has applied SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123-R.
The Company does not have any stock options plan in effect and hence there are no stock options outstanding as of May 31, 2008 and 2007.
Income taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net loss 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 loss 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. Basic and diluted losses per share were $0.02 and $0.01 for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
a. A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b. The date that adoption is required
c. The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In March, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
FASB Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related. Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In May of 2008, FSAB issued SFASB No.162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

TANK SPORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Group as a going concern. However, the Group has accumulated deficit of $7,458,235 as of May 31, 2008, including a net loss of $669,525 for the three months ended May 31, 2008. The continuing losses have adversely affected the liquidity of the Group. Losses might continue for the immediate future. The Group faces some business risks, which includes but not limited to, its ability to maintain vendor and supplier relationships by making timely payments when due.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Group, which in turn is dependent upon the Group’s ability to raise additional capital, to increase more sales and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken many steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The acquisition and consolidation measures have strengthen its market position, included, but not limited to, restructuring of management and labor forces, consolidation of regional marketing facility, ERP system integration, better inventory control, further development of marketing promotion and sales network, reconsolidation of one centralized super distribution warehouse, and improvement of customer service infrastructure. The management has taken steps to upgrade the company’s product line with more advanced engine technologies by collaborating with National Motor in Taiwan and Jianshe Motor Industry in China. . With all steps taken, the Management believes that it will significantly increase its overall productivity and revenues, reduce unnecessary costs and expenses, and achieve a goal of high profit margin with the controlled budget. Management has devoted considerable effort towards to (i) build “Tank”, “Redcat” and Dazon brand names (ii) set up more dealers to increase sales (iii) liquidate less profitable products, and focus on selling more profitable products (iv) strive to reduce product costs and operating expenses through fully functioning of manufacturing capacity in Shanghai; (v) increase product range by utilization of R&D capacity ; and (vi) obtain additional equity. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Group to continue operations through the next fiscal year.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operations
The following discussion is intended to provide an analysis of the Company’s Plan of Operation and financial condition after its acquisition of Lowprice.com, Inc. and PMI. Matters discussed in this section that is not historical or current facts are potential developments of the Company. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those described below.
Plan of Operation
Since inception, the Company commenced the sale and distribution of motorcycles and ATVs under the brand name of TANK. During late 2006, the Company started its plan to acquire a US motorcycle distributor with well established dealership network and sales history. In January 2007, the Company acquired Lowprice.com, Inc (Redcat) with a view to bring in their 300 dealers, $15 million annual sales, advanced ordering system and ATV product lines. The purchase of Redcat was at a decent price. The Company issued stocks, cash and gave commitment to take over certain debts, leases and contracts.
After the completion of the acquisition of Redcat, the Company targeted PMI to start its next acquisition because PMI has a well known DAZON brand name, established distributorship network in Europe and in the US, advanced technology in dune buggy production and a facility in Shanghai with 76,000 sq..ft. of floor space and 321,000 sq. ft in land. The acquisition of PMI started from negotiation in August 2007 and finalization of agreement on November 15, 2007. The PMI acquisition did not involve in cash payment to the shareholders of PMI but the Company has to take over the entire operation of PMI and all of its debts. After completion of these two acquisitions, the Company is able to sell products under the brand names of Redcat and DAZON to international markets in additional to the domestic market.
The acquisition of Lowprice.com and PMI has given the Company access to a wide range of ATV and Buggy models for distribution internationally. The product line compliments the existing powersports equipment line offered by the Company. The acquisition also gave the Company insights and knowledge into the specific model groups inner workings. The Company is adapting and changing the way we operate everyday to make use of the knowledge we acquired during the acquisitions to better serve our dealers.
Consolidation and Integration after Acquisition
The consolidation and integration measures that have been taken by the Company to further strengthen its market position included, but not limited to, restructuring of management and operation team, consolidation of regional warehouse facility, ERP system integration, inventory control, development of marketing promotion and sales plan, improvement of customer service infrastructure, access to international markets with new products that are not previously available form the OEM manufacturing resources in China and the use of a world recognized brand name “Dazon”. In the beginning of 2008, the Company has pull the vendor resources of all the units and through combining those resources we are able to get better terms and rates in services such as shipping rates. In May 2008 we closed down an unnecessary warehouse facility in Phoenix by subleasing the space. Our plan is to eliminate the entire operation in Phoenix and move all the staff back to the L.A, facility. Excessive manpower is being eliminated and as a result several managers left the Company either by will or by termination in April and May of 2008. To consolidate the work force in the Company we have trained the current crews in L.A. to enable them to take on multiple tasks to become a small but very productive and efficient team. The next phase of the plan is to review critically the warehouse spaces and shut down certain warehouses to eliminate the needs for huge capital in inventory built up, interests, rental and other overhead. With limited warehouse space, the Company has to plan our product procurements better to generate a high inventory turnover. With all the steps taken, the Company believes that it will significantly increase Tank Sports’ overall productivity and revenues, reduce duplicate costs and expenses and improve the profitability and cash flow in the years to come.
The successful acquisition of Redcat and PMI, as described above, has strengthen the dealership network of the Company in both the US and Europe. As of May 31, 2008, the Company has a network of about 100 exclusive dealers in the US that sell only Tank/Redcat/Dazon brand products. In Europe and other countries we used distributors to sell our products ranging from 50cc scooters to 1100cc dune buggies.
Tank's Operational Model
The Company conducts its business by integrating R&D, manufacturing through both its wholly owned factory subsidiary and OEM sources, and distributing products through dealership and chain store sales and service network globally.
For further expansion of our sales network worldwide and capacity of manufacturing of a variety product lines, the Company has been actively seeking for strategic investment, business partners and alliances through agreement relationship and merger and acquisition. We also plan to expand our market to the areas of South America, Middle East, and Africa. For example, we have reached exclusive sales agreement with XingYue Corporation, a well known motorcycle/ATV manufacturer in China, for 150cc and 250cc Scooters in the US market. With acquisition of PMI, we have been reinforced by the capacity of R&D and manufacturing of higher engine displacement up to 1100cc of go karts and dune buggies. The Company is devoting more resources to improve the customer service department within the US domestic market.
Tank's Operational and Sales Goal in 2008-2009
We plan to achieve a total number of 800 dealerships, which includes 100 exclusive dealers (dealers that only sell Tank products) with a sales objective of each dealer in the amount of $25,000 - $100,000. Currently, we have a total number of about 543 dealers in the US market.
By partnering with leading manufacturers and suppliers, and with out joint R&D effort to develop new generation products, we intend to enhance our dealership standardization by adding more product lines to our dealers.
We have reduced the redundancy to achieve a cost effective operation. So far, we have lowered our total number of US based employees from 24 to 14 through the execution of the plan in the US operation. We seek to achieve a goal ratio of $1.1 million or more in sales per employee in the US operation. A recent analysis of our basic operational expenses done by the company has found the current level of staffing in the U.S. can support U.S. revenue of about $15 million while keeping annual operating expenses under $3 million..
This plan hopefully will result in increased gross profit and net income. PMI has about 140 employees currently and there are plans to reduce this number further to eliminate redundancy. On May 15, 2008, the CEO of PMI retired from the Company. On April 1, 2008, the vice president of finance of the Company resigned and on May 15, 2008 the CFO of PMI also resigned from the Company. The former vice president of finance and the former CFO of PMI will serve as consultants of the Company on a fee basis when there is a need for their services. The full effect in savings resulting from the departure of these executives will reflect in the second quarter ending August 31, 2008.Further consolidation of PMI and Tank is being undertaken and. the results will show in the second quarter of this fiscal year.
1. | Generate Dealer Interest and Recruit Dealers. We have used our power sports vehicles to create awareness within the power sports industry. We have also displayed these vehicles at trade shows and events to generate dealer interest in TANK and Redcat products. We intend to continue our promotional efforts through public relations program, attending and displaying our products at dealer trade shows, direct mail efforts and direct solicitations of prospective customers. We believe our dealer qualification criteria are strict and they include experience, reputation, ability to serve the geographic territory and financial strength. |
2. | Generate Consumer Interest and Develop the TANK, Redcat and DAZON Brand Awareness. To date, our products have appeared in over 10 publications. We believe this publicity is critical to creating awareness of the TANK, Redcat and DAZON brands. We intend to continue our public relations efforts to create additional consumer interest and to support our dealers in targeted advertising and marketing efforts in their geographic territories. We also plan to continue to attend trade shows and events targeted to consumers to provide them with opportunities to see, and in some cases ride, our products. We believe these efforts, as well as mailing information to persons who have inquired about our products, will generate the customer awareness we believe is necessary to sell our products, and to develop the TANK, RedCat and DAZON brands. |
. | |
3. | Penetration into European market. The newly acquired subsidiary, PMI, has secured numerous orders from European customers. Its dune buggies are approved for on road use with EEC Homologation certificates. |
Our focus in the next 12 months has been to seek necessary working capital, and to further execute our marketing plan to increase our sales. Our marketing plan focuses on dealers and the retail market, through comprehensive print advertising, participation in trade shows and other direct marketing efforts. Our marketing strategy is based on a reliable product, consistent quality, parts and service availability, and the delivery of a unique name and image.
FOR THE FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MAY 31, 2008
General Overview
Towards the late 2007 and most of the early 2008, because of the slow down of the general economy in the US attributable to the sub prime lending and falling property prices, it triggered a landslide effect on the Powersports industry. As Powersports equipment is considered recreational and non essential, many consumers found themselves better off building their saving than spending money on Powersports products. Sales were down by as much as 30% in some markets as compared to 2007.
The impact to Chinese products isn’t just an economic issue. Compounded by the issues of quality and safety, importers of Chinese products saw another drop in their sales as the main stream media issued reports on unsafe toys that adversely affected the toy industry and eventually affected the Chinese powersports industry. Many competitors in the industry have to lower their prices to sell inventory to generate cash and the Company has little choice but to offer big discounts to sell off its older models in the last quarter of 2007. This situation has improved as a result of record breaking high gas prices where we are seeing a higher demand for scooters for transportation uses in the first quarter. While more frequent sighting of scooters being used as viable method of transportation has generating more interest in the motorcycle scooter line prompting for higher sales.
The slowdown in the industry has made it difficult for the Company to raise additional capital in the market and accordingly the Company has to tighten all its spending and use the existing resources to grow its sales. The management is anticipating that after realizing all the savings from the integration measures, the Company can report a better result in the second quarter ending August 31, 2008.
Sales and gross profit
For the quarter ended May 31, 2008 the Company recorded a turnover of $3,681,056 which represented a decrease of 5% as compared to $3,883,151 for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007. The gross profit for the current quarter was $458,330 as compared to $858,091 for the same quarter prior year. High purchase cost of products due to the appreciation of RMB, the Chinese currency, and discounts for certain out-dated models attributable to the lower gross profit in the current fiscal quarter.
Our net loss for fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2008 was $669,525 as compared to a net loss of $355,070 for fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007. The increase of our net loss is primarily attributable to the lower gross profit driven by a lower profit margin for the current quarter as compared to same quarter prior year. Included in the current quarter net loss was a loss of $144,253 from discontinued operations.
Operating Expenses
The Company and its subsidiaries incurred $1,111,220 in operating expenses in the current fiscal quarter as compared to $1,340,854 same quarter prior year.

In the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2007, operating expenses consisted of selling expenses of $200,201 and administrative expenses of $1,140,653.
Interest and Financial Expenses
The Company and its subsidiaries recorded an interest expense of $137,714 in the current fiscal quarter as compared to $83,642 same quarter prior year. The increase of interest bearing debts to finance the sales growth and acquisitions were the major reason for the increase in interest expenses.
Other non operating items

Liquidity and Financial Resources

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are identified and described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Tank continually evaluates its critical accounting policies and estimation procedures. Estimates are often based on historical experience and on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, but which could change in the future. Some of Tank's accounting policies and estimation procedures require the use of substantial judgment, and actual results could differ materially from the estimates underlying the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 to our financial statements.
In applying these policies, estimates and judgments affect the amounts at which accounts receivable, inventory, and certain liabilities are recorded and the useful lives of property and equipment. We apply our accounting policies on a consistent basis. Changes in circumstances are considered in our estimates and judgments. Future changes in circumstances could result in changes in amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded. Future changes could also affect the estimated useful levels of property and equipment, which could result in changes in depreciation expense or write, offs or writes downs of such assets.
Revenue Recognition. The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. Sales revenue is recognized when the delivery to customers (independent dealers and distributors) is completed and ownership is transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received prior to completing all aforementioned criteria are recorded as unearned revenue. The Company's dealers enter into an annual renewable contract and are required to maintain status as an authorize dealer in order to continue selling company's products. Dealers are required to assemble and prep the vehicles before its sold, inform customer on warranties information and to repair and service the vehicles. The Company sets a fixed pricing structure each year. All dealers must follow the pricing structure or no more than 12% above or below the MSRP. Any additional discounts will need approval from the Company. The Company offers a limited and parts only warranties to all its dealers, distributors and retail customers. Tank requires its customer to be responsible for a 15% restocking fee for all unused return and shipping fees are non refundable. Used merchant cannot be returned without reason and the defective merchandise must be repaired. Tank has not historically recorded any significant sales return allowances because it has not been required to repurchase a significant number of units. However, should there be an adverse change in retail sales could cause this situation to change.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and change in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis.
Inventory. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or evaluated market value at the date of acquisition. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Straight line method is used to depreciate the assets according to their respective economic useful lives.
Land Use Rights. Land use rights are stated at evaluated market value at the date of acquisition. Straight line method is used to amortize the land use right according to the life of the land use right.
Income taxes. The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "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.
Product warranties and insurance. Tank provides a limited warranty for parts only for a period of twelve months for its ATVs, Dirt bikes, Go Karts, and Scooters with a 50cc engine, for a period of three years for its cruiser motorcycles with Trademark "VISION" and Scooters with 150cc and 250 cc engines. Tank's standard warranties require the Company or its dealers to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. Major cost incurred in connection with warranty obligations is the cost of new parts replacing the damage/defective parts. We have not recorded a liability for warranty obligations because they were immaterial for the periods presented; and we have recorded expenses when the costs were actually incurred. Tank insures its product liability claims with ACORD Jordan and Jordan Insurance Agency, LLC. The product liability coverage are up to $1,000,000 limit per occurrence, $50,000 limits on damage to rented premises, $1,000,000 to personal injury, $2,000,000 to general aggregate and $2,000,000 limit to products comp/or aggregate. Historically, the Company has not experienced any threatened litigation or product liability claim. The Company believes that based on its historical product liability claim experience, the product liability insurance will be sufficient to cover any such claim.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not undertake any specific actions to limit those exposures.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the most recent quarter ended May 31, 2008, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
