ITEM 1.02             TERMINATION OF A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On July 31, 2008, Sentaida Tire Company Limited, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Qingdao Free-Trading Zone Sentaida International Trade Co. Ltd. ("FTZ Sentaida") entered into a Rescission of the Exclusive Agency Agreement and Conclusion of Inventory Products Buy-back Agreement with Guangzhou South China Rubber and Tire Co., Ltd ("Guangzhou Tire") (the "Rescission Agreement"). FTZ Sentaida elected to rescind the exclusive agency agreement with Guangzhou Tire pursuant to the Rescission Agreement because the pricing and other terms of the agency agreement were no longer economically feasible or advantageous for FTZ Sentaida.

Pursuant to the terms of the Rescission Agreement, the parties unanimously agreed to rescind the Exclusive Agency Agreement and associated Contracts originally executed by the parties on November 18, 2005, which provided that FTZ Sentaida would be the exclusive agent in U.S. markets for Guangzhou Tire’s tire parts under the brand name WANLI. The terms of the Rescission Agreement stipulate that both parties are released from any and all rights and obligations under the Exclusive Agency Agreement and associated Contracts, Guangzhou Tire is entitled to sell or authorize third parties to sell its tire parts in U.S. markets under the brand name WANLI and Guangzhou Tire will facilitate the buy-back of all inventory products currently owned by FTZ Sentaida and originally purchased from Guangzhou Tire. FTZ Sentaida currently owns inventory products originally purchased from Guangzhou Tire having a potential sale value of approximately $3.8 million (including expenses and fees thereon). In addition, FTZ Sentaida has accounts payable owing to Guangzhou Tire under the agency agreement of approximately $1.1 million (net of rebates and other adjustments). Such account payable will be paid or satisfied by FTZ Sentaida in accordance with the terms of the Rescission Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Rescission Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document and its appendices, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.
