Form 8-K filed November 14, 2007 File No. 0-52142 Dear Mr. Cash: On behalf of Rub A Dub Soap, Inc. ("RUBD" or the "Company"), we are providing the following responses to comments of the Staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission contained in the letter from the Staff dated May 15, 2008 ("Comment Letter") regarding the above-referenced Form 8-K (the "Form 8-K"). Set forth below are the Company's responses to the Staff's comments. To assist your review, we have retyped the text of the Staff's comments in italics below. General - ------- 1. We note your response to our prior comment one from our letter dated March 17, 2008 and your related disclosure on page 17 of your Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008 that the acquired subsidiaries operate under common control because they all have the same key management members. Please confirm for us, if true, that the voting ownership meets the criteria for common control in all financial periods presented prior to the August 2007 acquisitions. Reference paragraph 3 of EITF 02-5. Response: The Company hereby confirms that the voting ownership of the acquired subsidiaries meets the criteria for common control in all financial periods presented prior to the August 2007 acquisitions for the following reasons: John Cash Page 2 of 2 May 30, 2008 Pursuant to paragraph 3 of EITF No. 02-5, common control exists among separate entities if immediate family members hold more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of each entity. Immediate family members include a married couple. As explained below, prior to the August 2007 acquisitions, our CEO, Mr. Long Qin, together with his wife, Ms. Xiuqin Li owned more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of each acquired subsidiary. The acquired subsidiaries include Qingdao Free-Trading Zone Sentaida International Trade Co., Ltd., ("FTZ Sentaida"), Qingdao Sentaida Tires Co., Ltd. ("Sentaida Tires"), and Zhongsen Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Zhongsen Holdings"). Prior to the acquisitions of these subsidiaries by Zhongsen International Company Group Limited in 2007, Mr. Qin owned 100% equity interest in Zhongsen Holdings. Sentaida Group Ltd., in which Mr. Qin owned 76% interest, held 51% equity interest in both FTZ Sentaida and Sentaida Tires. Thus, Mr. Qin indirectly owned 38.76% (76% x 51%) equity interest in both FTZ Sentaida and Sentaida Tires. Mr. Qin's wife, Ms. Li owned 37.24% equity interest in both FTZ Sentaida and Sentaida Tires. As a result, Mr. Qin together with his wife owned 100%, 76% (38.76% + 37.24%), and 76% (38.76% + 37.24%) equity interest in Zhongsen Holdings, FTZ Sentaida, and Sentaida Tires, respectively. Therefore, prior to the August 2007 acquisitions, all the acquired subsidiaries operated under common control pursuant to paragraph 3 of EITF No. 02-5.
