LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Tank Sports (OTCBB:TNSP) held its first press conference yesterday Nov. 29, 2006 at Pacific Palm Conference Resort in City of Industry, California. During the conference, Ms. Jingjing Long, President of Tank Sports made four announcements.
-- The company is ready to release 5 new ATV models for 2007, which will make a complete line of 7 ATV models ranging from 110cc to 400cc. In 2006, it only had 110cc and 150 cc model ATVs and sold 311 units making $246,853 in revenue. Thus, it sold fewer ATVs than motorcycles and scooters in the year. However, Tank Sports has strengthened the ATV product line by expanding R & D, which gave way to 7 new styles. Also, it will release additional three models for the first half of 2007. Because of that, it will further expand TANK's share in the ATV market. The company's target is to sell 6,000 units of ATVs and generate over $5,000,000 in revenue by 2007. -- New energy Motorcycles -- hybrid of 85% ethanol + 25 gasoline motorcycle has passed the quality and road test. It is a milestone for the company's clean energy technology strategy. -- Tank Sports will continue to focus on the motorized power sports products as core business. In the mean time, the company will include mergers and acquisitions as part of the company's growth strategies. This will strengthen the future growth of the company business model. -- Tank Sports' relationships with selected equity funds have been steadily growing. The company will follow up the SEC regulations and rules, such as 8-K filing, to disclose any material progress once it is necessary. The growing relationships with institutional investors will prepare the company with necessary funding and certain assurance to implement its long term growth strategies.
