NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization
Transnational Automotive Group, Inc. (the "Company", “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated April 2, 1999 in the State of Nevada as Vitaminoverrun.com Corp., in August 2001 changed its name to Apache Motor Corporation Inc. and in November 2005 the Company changed its name to Transnational Automotive Group, Inc.

In 2001 the Company merged with Cambridge Creek Companies, Ltd. ("Cambridge"), a Nevada corporation. Cambridge was a reporting issuer and the Company assumed the reporting issuer status after the merger.

Effective September 12, 2001 the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of The Apache Motor Corp. ("Apache"), an Alberta corporation, from the shareholders of Apache in exchange for an aggregate of 440,000 shares of its common stock. The exchange was effectively a reverse takeover of the Company by Apache in that the shareholders of Apache became the majority shareholders of the Company. On October 24, 2003 the principal of The Apache Motor Corp (Robert Wither) agreed to return 278,560 shares of common stock for cancellation that he had received from the Company and the Company disposed of its shares in its subsidiary company, The Apache Motor Corp., to Robert Wither in conjunction with the cancellation of his shares in the Company. The Company retained the rights to the technology and returned the shares of the subsidiary to the original owners.

In 2002 the Company completed a 5:1 forward stock split.

On May 3, 2004 the Company terminated an agreement to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Manter Enterprises Inc. and cancelled the 533,334 shares of common stock of the Company previously issued in trust for Manter subject to a performance agreement.

On June 7, 2004, the Company completed a 1:75 reverse stock split. On October 14, 2005 the Company completed a 2:1 forward stock split.

On October 28, 2005 the Company issued 24,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire 100% of the issued share capital of Parker Automotive Group International, Inc. (PAGI). PAGI was a development stage enterprise which endeavoured to develop a public bus transportation system in Cameroon through its 66% owned subsidiary, Parker Transportation, Inc., Cameroon. On September 18, 2006, 18,000,000 shares of the 24,000,000 shares originally issued were returned to the Company and cancelled.

On June 15, 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PAGI, was dissolved pursuant to a resolution ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Description of Business
Transnational Automotive Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to hereinafter as “the Company” or “TAUG”) are engaged in the development and operations of mass public transportation systems in Cameroon, Africa. The Company’s current operations are comprised of an intra-city bus transit system in the capital city of Yaoundé under the brand name, LeBus, and an inter-city bus transit system between Yaoundé and Douala, known as “LeCar”. The Company is in the process of establishing additional inter-city bus lines servicing other metropolitan regions within Cameroon. The Company’s objective is to expand its existing transportation operations in Cameroon and establish, develop and operate mass transit systems in other sub-Saharan African nations.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Transnational Automotive Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected therein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending February 28, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended February 28, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, LeCar Transportation Corporation, S.A. (“LeCar”), a wholly-owned subsidiary in Cameroon, and Transnational Automotive Group, Cameroon, S.A. (“Taug-C”), a wholly-owned Cameroonian subsidiary, which owns a 66% interest in Transnational Industries – Cameroon, S.A. (“LeBus”). Various Cameroon

TRANSNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

governmental bodies own the remaining 34% equity interest in LeBus. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. generally accepted accounting principles”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ, and the difference may be material, from the Company’s estimates.

Going Concern
The Company is subject to various risks in connection with the operation of its business including, among other things, (i) losses from operations, (ii) changes in the Company's business strategy, including the inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes in the market, (iii) the Company's lack of liquidity and potential ability to raise additional capital, and (iv) the lack of historical operations necessary to demonstrate the eventual profitability of its business strategy. As of November 30, 2007, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,306,665 as well as a working capital deficiency of $9,000,220.

As a result of the aforementioned factors and related uncertainties, there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects of recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities, which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Funding of the Company's working capital deficiency, its current and future anticipated operating losses, and growth of the Company's transportation operations in Cameroon will require continuing capital investment. Historically, the Company has received funding through the issuance of convertible debentures and warrants issued in connection with private placement offerings, the issuance of common stock and subscriptions to acquire common stock, advances received from unsecured promissory note arrangements, and the financing of its acquisition of buses through a capital lease obligation due to a related party. The Company's strategy is to fund its current and future cash requirements through the issuance of additional debt instruments, current and long-term borrowing arrangements and additional equity financing.

The Company has been able to arrange debt facilities and equity financing to date. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient debt or equity financing will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund current working capital requirements and future capital expenditures necessary to grow the business would materially affect the Company's operations in the short term and expansion strategies. The Company will continue to explore external financing opportunities. Currently, the Company is in negotiations with multiple parties to obtain additional financing, and the Company will continue to explore financing opportunities with additional parties.

Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Foreign Currency Translation
All assets and liabilities of foreign operations included in the consolidated financial statements are translated at period-end exchange rates and all accounts in the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. The Company considers the U.S. dollar to be its functional currency, given that the majority of all funds used in operations through the end of November 30, 2007 were funded in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, accumulated exchange rate adjustments resulting from the process of translating the Company’s financial statements expressed in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are reflected as income or loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Fair market value of financial instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statement of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The carrying amount for current assets and liabilities are not materially different than fair market value because of the short term maturity of these financial instruments.

Cash equivalents

7



TRANSNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the Company’s former outside Ad Agency, Nelson Cameroun (“Nelson”), who was previously responsible for the billing and collection of fees from customers for the placement of advertisements on the Company’s buses. Such amounts are billed when earned or due and when collection is reasonably assured. The Company does not accrue finance or interest charges on outstanding receivable balances. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management periodically reviews all delinquent accounts receivable balances, if any, and based on an assessment of recoverability, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.

During the current year, the Company terminated its contract with Nelson. The Company is currently in litigation with Nelson to settle past due receivables and payables between both parties. As a result of this contingency, the Company has reserved $76,298, representing the entire accounts receivable balance due from Nelson as of November 30, 2007.

Other receivables
Other receivables consist of amounts receivable due from the government of Cameroon for subsidies to fund the Company’s intra-city bus operations known as LeBus. Other receivables also include Value Added Taxes (“VAT”) receivable due from various agencies of the government of Cameroon.

Other receivables as of November 30, 2007 are comprised of the following:

Subsidies receivable $  397,203  
VAT receivable   332,260  
Insurance claim receivable   110,524  
Other   5,236  
     Total $  845,223  

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, cost generally being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventory consist primarily of materials, spare parts and fuel for bus operations.

Property, buses and equipment
Property, buses and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

                                                                               Asset Description Useful Life (years)
Computer equipment 3
Computer software 3
Furniture and equipment 3 - 5
Buses 3
Automobile equipment 5

Leasehold and building improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.

Costs for capital assets not yet available for commercial use, if any, are capitalized as construction in progress and will be depreciated once placed into service. Assets classified as “held for future use”, if any, are not depreciated until they are placed in productive service. Costs for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Revenue and Expense Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9.

In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net

TRANSNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Presentation” (EITF 06-03). EITF 06-03 applies to taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer, and states that the presentation of such taxes on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. Additionally, for such taxes reported on a gross basis, the amount of such taxes should be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements if the amounts are significant. The provisions of EITF 06-03 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. On March 1, 2007, the Company adopted EITF 06-03. The Company collects certain Value Added Taxes (“VAT”) on its ticket sales, which are levied by the government of Cameroon. VAT taxes are accounted for on a gross basis and recorded as revenue. For the three month and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007, total VAT taxes levied on ticket sales approximated $281,381 and $721,496, respectively.

The majority of the Company’s revenues were derived from the sale of tickets for its inter-city and city bus operations. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of bus tickets when the transportation services have been provided. The Company also generates revenue from cash subsidies provided by agencies of the government of Cameroon (“government subsidies”). Revenue from government subsidies are recognized as revenue when earned and when collection is reasonably assured. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Basic and diluted loss per share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. The shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and convertible debentures for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, were anti-dilutive and, therefore, excluded from the calculation of net loss per share. The following potential common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent accounting pronouncements

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. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated 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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. FASB 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 FASB 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements. This 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. FASB 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It 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. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

FASB Staff Position on FAS No. 115-1 and FAS No. 124-1 (“the FSP”), “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” was issued in November 2005 and addresses the determination of when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment on an investment is other-than-temporary and how to measure an impairment loss. The FSP also addresses accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments on a debt security, and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP replaces the impairment guidance on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing authoritative literature concerning other-than-temporary determinations. Under the FSP, losses arising from impairment deemed to be other-than-temporary, must be recognized in earnings at an amount equal to the entire difference between the securities cost and its fair value at the financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries subsequent to that date. The FSP also required that an investor recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses when a decision to sell a security has been made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

7. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

Convertible Debentures
Through the end of the fiscal year ended February 28, 2007, the Company raised an aggregate of $3,781,000 from the issuance of convertible debentures (“convertible debentures”) under several private placement memorandum offerings. The debentures were convertible into the common stock of the Company at exercise prices ranging from $.48 to $.50 per share. The debentures bear interest at 7% per annum and are automatically converted into common stock after one year from the date of issuance, unless converted earlier. There were no convertible debentures issued during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007.

The Company calculated the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible debentures in accordance with EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 98-5”) and EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, (“EITF 00-27”) and recorded $1,003,050 of aggregate debt discount for the year ended February 28, 2007, which was included in additional paid-in capital as of February 28, 2007.

The Company also issued to the holders of the convertible debentures warrants to acquire an aggregate of 8,427,416 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The warrants had an original term of two-years from the date of issuance. In connection with these debentures, the Company recorded aggregate debt discount of $2,777,950 related to the fair of the warrants issued, which was included in additional paid-in capital as of February 28, 2007.

The debt discount underlying the valuation of the warrants was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: applicable risk-free interest rate based on the current treasury-bill interest rate at the grant date of 3.5%; dividend yields of 0%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 203%; and an expected life of the warrants of one year. The debt discount is being amortized over one year, the life of the convertible debentures. Total finance costs associated with the amortization of the warrants was $346,074 and $323,012 for the three month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total finance costs associated with the amortization of the warrants for the nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,296,741 and $745,787, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the nine month period ended November 30, 2007, $1,098,500 of convertible debentures and $72,525 of related accrued interest were converted into 2,463,037 shares of common stock.

The following is a schedule of the aggregate amounts of outstanding convertible debentures as of November 30, 2007:

                Convertible  
    Convertible     Unamortized     Debentures  
    Debentures -     Warrant     Net of Debt  
    Gross     Discounts     Discount  
Convertible debentures, non related parties $  1,400,000   $  (19,913 ) $  1,380,087  
                   
Related party convertible debentures (note 9) $  1,020,000   $  -   $  1,020,000  

On May 24, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors issued a resolution to extend the maturity date of the convertible debentures issued pursuant to the Private Placement Memorandum dated January 23, 2006 and to increase the number of shares of common stock eligible for conversion. The number of warrants issued to convertible debenture holders was also adjusted to equal the number of shares to be issued upon conversion. In connection with the Board Resolution, the maturity date on the warrants was extended from two years to five years and the conversion rate of the exercise option was reduced from $.48 - $.50 per share to an adjusted conversion rate of $.4464 per share. The reduction in the conversion rate resulted in an increase of 455,226 additional warrants outstanding and an additional 455,226 shares of common stock eligible for conversion for the debenture holders. On account of the repricing of the conversion price and issuance of additional warrants, the Company recorded a finance cost of $445,326 for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007.

Loss Contingencies

In May 2006, the Company was assessed a claim approximating $461,000 in connection with a breach of contract dispute with its sea freight carrier related to the first shipment of 28 buses from China to Cameroon. The claim arose out of the Company’s alleged failure and delinquency to procure the bus shipments within the terms of the underlying sea freight agreement. The Company’s management initiated settlement negotiations with its sea freight carrier to withdraw their monetary claim in exchange for contracting the carrier for future sea freight of 60 additional buses. During the nine month period ended November 30, 2007, the Company satisfied a portion of their future commitment to the sea freight carrier in connection with their purchase and shipment of 30 additional buses, which were delivered to Cameroon on May 2, 2007.

Purchase Commitments

TRANSNATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE GROUP, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of November 30, 2007, the Company was obligated under a purchase commitment agreement with a bus manufacturer in China and a sea freight carrier for the purchase and sea freight charges associated with the acquisition of 30 urban transportation buses for an aggregate cost of $1,600,000 plus sea freight.

Litigation

On March 19, 2007, one of the Company’s inter-city coach buses was involved in a collision en route between Yaoundé and Douala that resulted in the deaths of two passengers and injuries sustained to the surviving passengers. In accordance with Cameroonian law, the Company’s subsidiary, LeCar, was cited with responsibility for the collision. The Company maintains insurance coverage for damage claims arising from collisions. However, management cannot determine the amount of monetary damages in excess of amounts covered under insurance, if any, that may be awarded to passengers involved in this collision.

On November 8, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, LeCar Transportation Corporation, S.A. (“LeCar”), was named a defendant in a wrongful termination case involving several disgruntled former employees of the subsidiary who were terminated by the Company during 2007. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified amounts in compensatory damages, including deferred salary, and punitive damages. Under Cameroonian law, the cases are first investigated by the Labor Board Division and subsequently referred to the higher courts based on the merits of the respective allegations. To date, the cases are still pending review by the Labor Board Division. The Company believes the former employees’ claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the claims brought forth by these suits and to pursue all available legal remedies. The Company has not provided for any loss contingencies, in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

On September 12, 2007, the Company’s subsidiary, Transnational Automotive Group, Cameroon S.A., was named a defendant in a breach of contract claim brought forth by its former ad agency, Nelson Cameroun (“Nelson”). The complaint alleges the Company wrongfully terminated its contract with Nelson prior to its expiration. The plaintiff was seeking damages of $300,000, representing amounts owed by the Company pursuant to the terms of the ad agency contract. The Company filed a counter-suit against Nelson alleging breach of good faith, breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, and negligence and breach of fiduciary duty. The Company is seeking unspecified amounts as compensatory damages pursuant to its cross-complaint. The Company has put up a deposit of $64,193 that is being held by the courts in Cameroon pending the outcome of the lawsuit. This amount has been classified as restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2007. The Company has reserved $76,298, representing the entire accounts receivable balance due from Nelson as of November 30, 2007 pursuant to the terms of the ad agency agreement prior to its termination. The Company has accrued $77,454 as of November 30, 2007, representing amounts billed by Nelson pursuant to the terms of the ad agency contract prior to its termination.

On September 14, 2007, the Cameroonian high court with jurisdiction over the case issued an injunction for the Company to pay an amount approximating $300,000 in favor of Nelson’s claim. The Company has filed an appeal to the injunction. For the three months ended November 30, 2007, the Company has provided a legal reserve for $250,000, representing the amount of the injunction less amounts accrued as of November 30, 2007. The $250,000 reserve for legal claims is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of November 30, 2007. The appeal is scheduled to be heard in January 2008.

The Company is involved in various other legal claims and assessments. Management believes that these actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a public transportation company headquartered in Los Angeles, California with operating entities in Cameroon. Our current business efforts focus on establishing and operating mass bus transit systems in the two major cities in Cameroon: Yaoundé, the capital city of Cameroon, and Douala, the largest city and economic capital of Cameroon. We have partnered with the government of Cameroon to establish these mass transit systems. Our mission is to become a leading transportation provider in Cameroon and other sub-Saharan African countries through the operations of our urban and rural transportation systems. Our current operations are comprised of providing inter-city bus transportation between the cities of Yaoundé and Douala and city bus services in Yaoundé.

Urban bus operations (“LeBus”)

On October 12, 2005, we signed an agreement with the Government of Cameroon for TAUG to establish and exclusively manage the urban bus systems in Cameroon, starting with the country’s two major cities: the capital city of Yaoundé and the leading population and commercial center, Douala. Since the signing of the October 2005 agreement, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Transnational Automotive Group – Cameroon, SA (“TAUG-C”), headquartered in Yaoundé. TAUG-C, through its majority-owned intra-city transportation operational company, Transnational Industries – Cameroon, S.A., known as “LeBus” officially commenced urban bus operations in Yaoundé on September 25, 2006. Our urban transportation system is currently comprised of 47 city buses, which serve five bus lines in Yaoundé.

Inter-city bus operations (“LeCar”)

LeCar is the brand name given to our inter-city coach bus operations in Cameroon. On December 8, 2006, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, LeCar Transportation Corporation, S.A. (a.k.a. LeCar).

On December 18, 2006, LeCar officially launched its inter-city operations, transporting passengers between the capital city of Yaoundé and Cameroon’s largest city, Douala. LeCar has experienced a significant increase in ridership and ticket revenue since the launch of its operations on December 18, 2006. With a fleet of 15 coach buses, LeCar is currently transporting approximately 30,000 passengers monthly. Since inception, LeCar has transported in excess of 300,000 passengers on its inter-city routes and has realized in excess of $3 million of revenue from its operations.

Like LeBus, LeCar has received excellent support from the media and from Cameroon’s citizens, as indicated in the noteworthy success of the launch of operations. LeCar has also impressed Cameroon government leaders for its reliability, safety and quality of service, and enjoys the support of the nation’s highest officials. We are actively pursuing the expansion of our inter-city bus lines to include inter-city routes within other major urban centers in Cameroon.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, which are based on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and, as such, actual results may differ from our estimates, and the difference could be material from these estimates.

Revenue and expense recognition

The majority of our revenue is derived from the sale of tickets for our inter-city and city bus operations. We recognize revenue from the sale of bus tickets when the transportation services have been provided. We also generate revenue for our city bus operations from subsidies provided by the government of Cameroon. Revenue from government subsidies is recognized as revenue when earned and when collection is reasonably assured. Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Property, buses and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from 3 to 5 years. Costs for capital assets not yet available for commercial use, if any, have been

17


capitalized as construction in progress and will be depreciated in accordance with our depreciation policies governing the underlying asset class. Assets classified as “held for future use”, if any, are not depreciated until they are placed in productive service.

Impairment of long lived assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as measured by the discounted cash flows. During the nine months ended November 31, 2007, two of our inter-city buses were involved in accidents that rendered them inoperable. We recognized an impairment charge of $66,191, representing the net book value of the respective buses as of the date they were impaired less recoveries received from our insurance carrier as a result of the accidents.

Income taxes

We follow the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carry forwards for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon management’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred taxes have not been recognized on undistributed profits or losses of foreign subsidiaries since we consider these temporary differences to be essentially permanent in nature. Deferred taxes will be recognized when it becomes apparent that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. It is not practicable to determine the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax assets or liabilities.

Income taxes for our operations in Cameroon are provided for at rates applicable under Cameroonian law. In addition to income taxes on earnings, our subsidiaries’ operations in Cameroon are also subject to value-added taxes based on revenue plus various other taxes that are not predicated on income. We recognize these tax obligations in the period incurred.

Financing, warrants and amortization of warrants and fair value determination

We have traditionally financed our operations through the issuance of secured capital lease obligations and unsecured promissory notes payable. Additionally, we have issued debt instruments that are convertible into our common stock, at conversion rates at or below the fair market value of our common stock at the time of conversion, and typically include the issuance of warrants. We have recorded debt discounts in connection with these financing transactions in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 98-5 and 00-27. Accordingly, we recognize the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the financing instruments and the fair value of the related warrants on the balance sheet as debt discount. The debt discount associated with the warrants is amortized over the life of the underlying security. The debt discount associated with the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt instruments is charged to operations at the date the respective convertible debt instrument is issued.

Stock purchase agreements

The funding of operations has also included the issuance and subscriptions of common stock. Proceeds received from the issuance of our common stock are reflected as additions to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Proceeds received from the subscription of common stock are reflected as additions to subscribed capital.

Recent accounting pronouncements

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. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

18


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. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. FASB 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 FASB 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. FASB 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It 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. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, we will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

FASB Staff Position on FAS No. 115-1 and FAS No. 124-1 (“the FSP”), “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” was issued in November 2005 and addresses the determination of when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment on an investment is other-than-temporary and how to measure an impairment loss. The FSP also addresses accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments on a debt security, and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The FSP

19


replaces the impairment guidance on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing authoritative literature concerning other-than-temporary determinations. Under the FSP, losses arising from impairment deemed to be other-than-temporary, must be recognized in earnings at an amount equal to the entire difference between the securities cost and its fair value at the financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries subsequent to that date. The FSP also required that an investor recognize other-than-temporary impairment losses when a decision to sell a security has been made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue

The following table presents revenue by category:

    Three Month Periods Ended     Percentage     Nine Month Periods Ended     Percentage  
    November 30,     Increase/     November 30,     Increase/  
    2007     2006     Decrease     2007     2006     Decrease  
Ticket sales $  1,753,413   $  179,396     877%   $  4,296,878   $  179,396     2295%  
Government subsidies   497,150     -     100%     1,490,574     -     100%  
Ancillary revenue   71,702     -     100%     248,622     -     100%  
     Total revenue $  2,322,265   $  179,396     1194%   $  6,036,074   $  179,396     3265%  

Total revenue increased $2,142,869 or 1,194% for the three month period ended November 30, 2007 as compared to the three month period ended November 30, 2006 and increased $5,856,678 or 3,265% for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 as compared to the nine month period ended November 30, 2006. The increase in revenue over the prior year was attributed to the commencement of our intra-city bus operations, LeBus, on September 25, 2006, and our inter-city bus operations on December 18, 2006. The increase in revenue during the current year-to-date results was also attributed to the addition of 30 city buses during the current year and approximately $1,500,000 of government subsidies received in the current year compared to no government subsidies received in the prior year period. Ancillary revenue is primarily comprised of food and beverage sales and postage and mail services provided on our inter-city bus lines. We had 47 city buses and 15 coach buses, respectively, in operations during the three month period ended November 30, 2007.

During the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007, we received cash subsidies from the government of Cameroon for our city bus operations. Revenues from government subsidies approximated $100,000 for each month our city buses were in operations from inception through November 30, 2007. We recognize revenue from government subsidies when the services have been performed and when collection is reasonably assured. We are actively working with high ranking government officials of Cameroon to formalize subsidy and tax exoneration agreements with the government for our city bus operations.

Although we anticipate that revenue from ticket sales and government subsidies will continue to grow, our future revenue growth is subject to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations and is dependent to a significant degree upon the following factors: (i) the expansion of our bus fleet to expand our current bus lines and the development of new mass transit systems both, within and outside of Cameroon; (ii) seasonal factors in the demand for inter-city and intra-city bus transportation within the cities of Yaoundé and Douala; and (iii) our success in negotiating with the government of Cameroon for increases in government subsidies to fund our city bus operations.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue is comprised primarily of fuel costs, cost of food and beverage sales, direct payroll, value-added taxes on ticket sales, insurance, repairs and maintenance of buses, depreciation expense on buses, and other ancillary costs. Cost of revenue for the three month period ended November 30, 2007 was $2,293,790 or approximately 99% of revenue compared to $254,472 for the three month period ended November 30, 2006. Cost of revenue for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 was $5,382,780 or approximately 89% of revenue compared to $254,472 for the nine month period ended November 30, 2006. The increase in cost of revenue as a percentage of total revenue during the current quarter was attributed to 1) start up costs for the development of new bus lines; 2) higher fuel costs; and 3) greater than anticipated repair and maintenance costs on our first shipment of buses. We anticipate cost of revenue to decline as a percentage of total revenue with the expansion of our bus lines and bus fleet.

Details of our cost of revenue are as follows:

20



    Three Month Periods Ended     Percentage     Nine Month Periods Ended     Percentage  
    November 30,     Increase/     November 30,     Increase/

Operating expenses

Operating expenses were as follows:

    Three Month Periods Ended     Percentage     Nine Month Periods Ended     Percentage  
    November 30,     Increase/     November 30,     Increase/  
    2007     2006     Decrease     2007     2006     Decrease  
                                     
Sales and marketing $  30,372   $  95,186     -68%   $  133,771   $  116,734     15%  
General and administrative   902,667     1,181,938     -24%     3,314,413     3,282,326     1%  
Depreciation and amortization   27,067     3,305     719%     67,831     9,222     636%  
Reserve for legal claims   250,000     -     100%     250,000     -     100%  
Foreign currency translation gain   (179,860 )   (4,500 )   3897%     (346,527 )   (86,120 )   302%  
     Total operating expenses $  1,030,246   $  1,275,929     -19%   $  3,419,488   $  3,322,162     3%  

Sales and marketing expense consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, business development and sales functions. It also includes advertising expenditures, promotional expenditures and fees charged by marketing and public relations firms. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $64,814 for the three month period ended November 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 and increased by $17,037 for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 as compared to the nine month period ended November 30, 2006. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the current quarter was primarily attributed to a decrease in marketing costs charged by our former outside ad agency, Nelson Cameroun, to publicize the commencement of operations for our intra-city and inter-city bus lines in the prior year. We terminated our contract with Nelson during the current year, resulting in a reduction in our sales and marketing costs for the quarter compared to prior year. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the previous year was primarily due to nine months of operations of our bus lines in the current nine month period compared to less than three months of operations in the prior year nine month period. We anticipate an increase in sales and marketing costs associated with the projected expansion of our bus lines.

General and administrative expenses are comprised of office and administration expenditures, professional and consulting fees, corporate and administrative payroll and related payroll taxes, rent and travel costs. General and administrative expenses during the three month period ended November 30, 2007 decreased by $279,271, or 24% over the three month period ended November 30, 2006. General and administrative expenses during the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 increased by $32,087, or 1% over the nine month period ended November 30, 2006. The decrease in our general and administrative expenses during the three month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the prior year is attributed primarily to the following activities:

  • A significant decline in legal and professional fees compared to the prior year. Legal and professional costs in the prior year were primarily related to the establishment of our operations and the legal formation of our Cameroonian subsidiaries.
  • A decline in travel costs compared to the prior year. Travel costs in the prior year were related to the procurement and start up of our operations in Cameroon.
  • The reduction in legal, professional and travel costs were partially offset by an increase in other operating costs related to the operating expenses of our subsidiaries in Cameroon, which included an increase in general and administrative payroll, rent and general office expenses.

21


General and administrative expenses during the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 increased slightly compared to the prior year. The slight increase in general and administrative expenses over the prior year was due to an increase in administrative payroll, rent expense and other office related expenses for our subsidiaries in Cameroon. The increase in these costs was driven by the commencement of operations in October 2006 and expansion of our bus lines in the current year, resulting in a significant increase in our administrative employee count and our administrative infrastructure costs. The increase in these expenses was partially offset by a decrease in our U.S. corporate overhead expenses in the current year including lower corporate legal, professional and travel costs. In an effort to minimize our corporate overhead, we also downsized our U.S. corporate headquarters and facilities beginning in November 2006, resulting in a significant decrease in corporate rent expense and ancillary costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 719% during the three month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the three month period ended November 30, 2006 and increased by 636% during the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the nine month ended November 30, 2006. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense charged to operations is attributed to an increase in depreciable assets, including office furniture and equipment, computer equipment and software, automotive equipment and building improvements that were purchased in connection with the commencement of operations and build out of the Company’s operating facilities.

During the three month period ended November 30, 2007, we recognized a $250,000 loss reserve in connection with a legal claim brought forth against one of our subsidiaries by our former ad agency in Cameroon. The $250,000 reserve represents our preliminary estimated liability to remediate the claim pursuant to a court’s preliminary judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The ultimate outcome of the case is pending appeal.

We consider the U.S. dollar to be our functional currency, given that the majority of all funds used in operations to date were funded in U.S. dollars. Gain on foreign currency translation is derived from exchange rate adjustments resulting from translating the financials of our Cameroonian subsidiaries, which are expressed in CFA francs (Central African francs), into U.S. dollars.

We recognized a gain of $179,860 and $346,527 on foreign currency translation during the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007, respectively. This compares with gains from foreign translation of $4,500 and $86,120 for the prior year comparative three and nine month periods. The increase in the gain from foreign currency translation adjustments during the current year is primarily attributed to a substantial increase in the exchange rate of the Central African franc relative to the U.S. dollar as of November 30, 2007 and for the nine month period then ended compared to the prior year. The increase in the foreign currency translation gain is also due to an increase in the assets held by of our Cameroonian subsidiaries that were translated into U.S. dollars for purposes of consolidation and financial reporting.

Other income and expense

Other income and expenses are comprised primarily of finance costs associated with funding our operating activities. In connection with private placement offerings to accredited investors, we raised an aggregate of $3,781,000 from the issuance of 7% convertible debentures with attached warrants. The debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at an exercise price of .4464 per share. Finance costs from the amortization of deferred financing costs from the issuance of warrants were $346,074 and $323,012 in the three month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1,296,741 and $745,787 in the nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The warrants are being amortized over a period of one year from the date of issue, representing the term of the underlying debt instrument. The increase in finance costs from the issuance of warrants is primarily due to an increase in convertible debentures outstanding during our current fiscal year compared to the prior year fiscal year.

Finance costs associated the issuance of common shares attached to other debt instruments was $186,018 and $308,000 for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007, respectively, and finance costs associated with the beneficial conversion feature of convertible debentures was $704,231 and $887,138 for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2006, respectively. During the current year, we did not issue any convertible debentures resulting in no finance costs from the beneficial conversion of these convertible debt instruments. During the current year, the majority of our capital was raised through our private placement memorandum dated January 17, 2007, which is fully described in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

During the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007, other interest expense was $226,902 and $838,700, respectively, and was comprised of interest on outstanding unsecured promissory note obligations, interest costs associated with additional shares granted to debenture holders related to a repricing of the underlying debenture units, and interest costs accrued on outstanding debentures. During the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2006, total other interest expense was $199,648 and $295,010, respectively, and was comprised of interest on outstanding unsecured promissory notes and convertible debentures.

Minority interest in loss of subsidiary

Several Cameroonian governmental agencies collectively own 34% of our majority-owned subsidiary, Transnational Industries, Cameroon, S.A., which operates our city bus transportation system, LeBus. Minority interest in loss of subsidiary represents these shareholders proportionate share of the loss from LeBus. We did not recognize the minority shareholders’ proportionate share in the loss of LeBus for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 because LeBus had an aggregate stockholders’ deficit balance at November 30, 2007, and the minority shareholders are not obligated to fund losses in excess of their original investments in LeBus.

Net loss                                    

Our net loss for the three month period ended November 30, 2007 decreased to $1,729,796 or $(.04) per share, from $2,737,894 or $(.08) per share for the three months ended November 30, 2006. Our net loss for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 decreased to $5,235,019 or ($.12) per share compared to $5,423,968 or ($.12) per share for the nine months ended November 30, 2006. The decrease in our net loss for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2007 was attributed to the following:

  • The commencement of our mass transit operations for LeBus (commencing in September 2006) and LeCar (commencing in December 2006). Our net loss was offset by the gross profit generated from operations, which totaled $28,475 and $653,294 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2007, respectively. This compared to a negative gross profit margin of $75,076 for each of the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2006.

  • The reduction in our corporate overhead costs compared to the previous year, resulting in a decline in our overall general and administrative costs during the current year reporting periods.

  • During the current year, we benefited from an appreciation in the CFA franc relative to the U.S. dollar, our functional currency. This resulted in an increase in our gain from the translation of the financials of our Cameroonian subsidiaries (stated in foreign currency) into U.S. dollars.

  • Overall financing costs beginning in the third quarter were lower than the prior year period. The reduction in our financing costs during the third quarter was primarily attributed to the issuance of equity securities in connection with our private placement during the current year, resulting in significantly lower finance costs in comparison to securities issued in connection with our convertible debentures in the prior year.

Assets

Assets increased by $5,046,418 to $9,867,131 as of November 30, 2007, or approximately 105%, from $4,820,713 as of November 30, 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in property, buses and equipment used in our operations, which increased $3,849,663 over November 30, 2006. The increase in our capital expenditures was primarily related to our acquisition of an additional 30 city buses and six coach buses used in our mass transit operations. The increase in capital expenditures was also attributed to our acquisition of land during the third quarter for the projected establishment of a new bus depot/agency to provide inter-city bus services 23


in the cities of Bamenda and Bafoussam. As of November 30, 2007, current assets increased by $1,196,755 over the prior year. The increase in current assets is comprised primarily of an increase in cash of $510,021 and an increase in subsidy and other receivables of $757,567.

Liabilities

Total liabilities increased by $6,606,337 to $11,850,039 as of November 30, 2007, or approximately 126%, from $5,243,702 as of November 30, 2006. This increase was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and VAT and custom duty taxes payable by $3,892,366, an increase in a related party payable by $843,101, and an increase in convertible debentures, unsecured promissory note obligations and accrued interest by $3,172,790 and offset by a $1,301,920 reduction in obligations under capital lease due to a related party, which were repaid during the current year.

Minority interest

Minority interest decreased to $0 from $271,064 as of November 30, 2006. The decline in minority interest is attributable to losses allocated to the minority shareholders from the operations of our majority-owned subsidiary, Transnational Industries, Cameroon, S.A. (“LeBus”) in excess of the minority shareholders’ investments in LeBus, which resulted in an aggregate stockholders’ deficit balance as of November 30, 2007. The minority shareholders are not obligated to fund losses in excess of their capital contributions to LeBus.

Stockholders’ deficit

Stockholders’ deficit increased by $1,288,855 to $1,982,908 as of November 30, 2007, from a deficit of $694,053 as of November 30, 2006. The increase in stockholders’ deficit was primarily attributed to net losses during this period in excess of amounts raised from the issuance of common stock, warrants and convertible debentures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of November 30, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,496,442 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $986,421 as of November 30, 2006, representing an increase in our cash and cash equivalents of $510,021. The increase in our cash balances compared to the prior year was primarily attributed to our ability to raise capital from the issuance of common stock and warrants, convertible debentures, and unsecured promissory note obligations and offset by our net loss from operations and capital expenditures for the acquisition of buses.

Our working capital deficit at November 30, 2007 was $9,000,220 compared to $3,590,638 as of November 30, 2006, representing an increase of $5,409,582. The increase in our working capital deficit was primarily related to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase in VAT and custom duty taxes payable to governmental agencies of Cameroon, and an increase in outstanding convertible debentures and other debt obligations. The increase in our liabilities was primarily attributable to securing borrowed funds to finance our capital expenditures for the acquisition of buses and for working capital purposes to fund our operating results.

During the nine month period ended November 30, 2007, cash flows used in operating activities decreased by $2,041,719 to $1,450,697 compared to $3,492,416 in the prior year period. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to a reduction in our net loss of $438,949 and non-cash charges to our net loss including a $1,259,950 increase depreciation and amortization expense and approximately $1,600,000 of non-cash finance costs including warrant expense, finance costs from beneficial conversion feature on debt obligations and non-cash interest charges.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were primarily attributed to $2,142,608 of cash used for the acquisition of buses used in operations and capital expenditures for the purchase of property and equipment to build out the Company’s infrastructure and operating facilities in Cameroon.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended November 30, 2007 increased by $468,003 compared to the previous year period. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities during this period was primarily attributed to cash proceeds of $4,377,500 raised from the issuance of common stock and warrants from private placement offerings, cash proceeds of $1,150,000 raised from the issuance of unsecured promissory note obligations and $362,247 of cash flows from related parties.

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2007 were offset by $800,000 of aggregate principal repayments on a capital lease obligation made to a related party during the current year.

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. Our recurring losses and difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have an accumulated deficit of $16,306,665 as of November 30, 2007 as well as a significant working capital deficit. Our future operating success is dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows from our bus operations in Cameroon. Our ability to generate positive cash flows is predicated on achieving certain economies of scale in our business, which will involve the acquisition of additional buses for our operations and additional capital investment in infrastructure, employee training and other resources for our growth. In order to achieve this goal, we will need to raise a significant amount of capital for the acquisition of additional buses and related costs. Funding of our working capital deficit, current and future operating losses, and growth of the Company’s transportation operations in Cameroon and other countries will require continuing capital investment. Historically, we have received funding through the issuance of convertible debentures and warrants to acquire common stock issued in connection with private placement offerings, the issuance of common stock and subscriptions to acquire common stock, advances received under unsecured promissory note obligations, and the financing of the acquisition of our buses through a capital lease obligation due to a related party trust. Our strategy is to fund our current and anticipated future cash requirements through the issuance of additional convertible debt instruments, common stock warrants, unsecured borrowing arrangements and equity financing.

We have been able to arrange debt facilities and equity financing to date. There can be no assurance that sufficient debt or equity financing will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. Failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund current working capital requirements and future capital expenditures necessary to grow the business would materially affect our operations in the short term and expansion strategies. Currently, we are in negotiations with multiple parties to obtain additional financing, and the Company will continue to explore financing opportunities with additional parties.

As a result of the aforementioned factors and related uncertainties, there is substantial doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects of recoverability and classification of assets or classification of liabilities, which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
