Translation
Adjustment
As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the accounts of Universal Travel Group
were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan
Renminbi (CNY). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars
(USD) in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 830”) with the CNY as the functional
currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated
at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the
historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported
under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income
Topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 220”). Transaction
gains and losses are reflected in the income statement and such differences may
be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and
assumptions by management include among others: useful lives and residual values
of fixed assets, accounts receivable and notes receivables, stock based
compensation, valuations of warrant derivative liabilities, goodwill and
intangible assets impairments tests, and deferred taxes. The current economic
environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in this estimates
and assumptions.
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 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 and such differences maybe
material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and
assumptions made by management include among others, allowance for doubtful
accounts, long-lived asset impairment, useful lives and residual values of fixed
assets, stock based compensation, valuation of warrant derivative liability,
purchase price allocation of fair market value of assets and liabilities
acquired and deferred income taxes. The current economic environment has
increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and
assumptions.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Travel Group
and its wholly owned subsidiaries Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd.,
Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprises Limited, Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co.,
Ltd., Xian Golden Net Travel Serve Services, Ltd., Foshan Overseas International
Travel Service Co. Ltd., Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd.,

Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Kunming Business Travel Service Co., Ltd.,
Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., and Full Power Enterprise Global Limited
collectively referred to herein as the Company. On June 12, 2009 the
Company entered into a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy Dragon
Enterprise Limited. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for Shenzhen Speedy
Dragon Enterprise Limited as a discontinued operation. The condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and balance
sheet items of the discontinued operations separately from continuing
operations. Prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
year’s presentation of the discontinued operations. All material
inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Risks and
Uncertainties
The
Company's operation is located in the PRC. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to successfully continue the operation and failure to do so
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position,
results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company's
operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond
management's control. These contingencies include general economic conditions,
competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations.
Among other risks, the Company's operations will be subject to risk of
restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing
taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental
regulations.
Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued. These
conditions may result in a future loss to the Company but which will only be
resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s
management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such
assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss
contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company
or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal
counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted
claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or
expected to be sought.
If the
assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable given the current
economic environment that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of
the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in
the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential
material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is
probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability,
together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and
material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by
management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which
case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of
deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our
cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of prime institutional money
market funds with no maturities limit as well as bank account balances. Given
the current economic environment and the financial conditions of the banking
industry there is risk that deposits may not be readily available or covered by
such insurance,
The Company has had no loss on excess cash in domestic or foreign banks in past
years. As of September 30, 2010, cash on hand and cash in bank are $241,059 and
$56,423,254, respectively.

respectively. As of September 30, 2009, the balance due from Shenzhen Xunbao was
$4,523,883 and recorded in note receivable in the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2010.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value of the
net assets acquired. In accordance with the Intangibles, Goodwill and
other topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 350”),
indefinite-life identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized.
Under the provisions of ASC 350, we are required to perform an annual impairment
test of our goodwill. Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step
process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to
identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit,
which we define as our business segments, with its net book value or carrying
amount including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its
carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and
the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the
carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of
the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting
unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying
amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that
goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that
excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same
manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business
combination. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all
of the assets and liabilities of that unit including any unrecognized intangible
assets as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and
the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to
acquire the reporting unit. Impairment evaluations involve management's
estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and
cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could
have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair
value is determined through various techniques including discounted cash flow
models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as
considered necessary.

Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC
360”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. The Company periodically evaluates the
carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC
360. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets
carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by
which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived
assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar
manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal.
Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived
assets. However, there can be no assurances that demand for the Company's
services will continue, which could result in an impairment of long-lived assets
in the future.
Derivative
Liability
The
Company issued warrants in connection with the “Securities Purchase Agreement”
dated August 28, 2008 with certain reset exercise price
provisions. If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock
after the August 28, 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement or Financing for an
amount less than the original exercise price per share, the exercise price of
the warrants is reduced to equal the new issuance price of those
shares.

Derivative Liability
(Continued)
Upon the
Company’s adoption of the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC 815”) on January 1, 2009, the Company
determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815
as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed
by ASC 815. On January 1, 2009, the warrants, under ASC 815, were
reclassified from equity to derivative liability at its fair market value of
$2,091,738 and marked to market. The values of the warrants were decreased
by $536,777 from the warrants issuance date to the adoption date of ASC 815 on
January 1, 2009. As of January 1, 2009, the cumulative effect in
adopting ASC 815 was a reduction to additional paid in capital of $2,091,738 to
reclassify the warrants from equity to derivative liability and an increase in
retained earnings of $536,777 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle to reflect the change in the value of the warrants between their
issuance date and January 1, 2009. For the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a gain on change in fair
value of derivative liability of $304,177 and $1,253,181, respectively, to mark
to market for the increase in fair value of the warrants during the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Under ASC 815, the
warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting
period.
The
Company determined the fair value of the reset provisions at January 1, 2009 was
$1,470,199 as the initial fair value at the adoption date of EITF No.
07-05. The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes Option
Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: dividend
yield: 0%; volatility:129%, risk free rate: 1.72%, expected term: 4.65
years.
The
Company determined the fair value of the reset provisions at September 30, 2010
was $562,139. The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes Option
Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%;
volatility: 112%, risk free rate: 1.27%, expected term: 2.91years.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 820 that
requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both
assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for
which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a
financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in
a current transaction between willing parties. As of September 30, 2010, the
fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables,
and accounts payable approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of
the instruments, or are based on quoted market prices or interest rates
which fluctuate with market rates except for related party debt or receivables
for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value.
Fair Value
Measurements
Effective
January 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The FASB ASC Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value
for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements.
Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s
derivative liability. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities
are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these
securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed
below.

Fair Value Measurements
(Continued)
· Level 1
– observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical
assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Level 2
– other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar
securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).
· Level 3
– significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in
determining the fair value of investments).
The
Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of
financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a
recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a
non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant
event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and
measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets
and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to
fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
The
availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to
instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument,
whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular
to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily
observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by
market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management
discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable
in the market and may require management judgment.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with FASB Accounting
Standards Codification Topic on Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605” and SAB 104).
Revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the
delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and
collectability is reasonably assured.
The
Company had four types of revenue stream from its four lines of businesses,
namely (i) air-ticketing (Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and
Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd.), (ii) hotel reservations
(Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd.), (iii) packaged tours (Foshan
International Travel Service Co., Ltd., Xian Golden Net Travel Serve Services
Co, Ltd. and Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co., Ltd.) and (iv) air cargo
agency services (Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprises Ltd.). On June
12, 2009, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy
Dragon Enterprise Ltd. Accordingly the Company has accounted for Shenzhen Speedy
Dragon Enterprise Ltd, its air cargo agency services as a discontinued operation
(see Note 2 Discontinued Operations). Effective June 12, 2009, the
Company has three types of revenue stream from its current three lines of
businesses.
Air-ticketing
services
The
Company receives commissions from travel suppliers for air-ticketing services
through its transaction and service platform under various services agreements.
The Company does not charge customers differently from the prices provided by
travel suppliers. The Company has no discretion on the air ticket
prices or the applicable commission rates as they are dictated by the travel
suppliers. Commissions from air-ticketing services rendered are recognized after
air tickets are issued. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on
a net basis in the statements of income as the Company, generally, does not
assume inventory risks and has no obligations for cancelled airline ticket
reservations.

Hotel reservation
services
The
Company receives commissions from travel suppliers for hotel room reservations
through its transaction and service platform. The Company does not charge
customers differently from the prices provided by hotel
suppliers. The Company has no discretion on the hotel room prices or
the applicable commission rates as they are dictated by the hotel
suppliers. Commissions from hotel reservation services rendered are
recognized after hotel customers have completed their stay at the applicable
hotel and upon confirmation of pending payment of the commissions by the hotel.
The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the
statements of income as the Company, generally, does not assume inventory risks
and has no obligations for cancelled hotel reservations.
Packaged-tour
The
Company receives fees from providing domestic and cross-border travel tour
services. The Company contracts with traffic service providers,
accommodation providers and leisure service providers to purchase air tickets,
train and coach tickets, accommodation and leisure or entertainment packages in
bulk and then resell them to its customers with a mark-up. Fees
generated from packaged-tours are recognized on a gross basis in the statements
of income, when the tour is completed, as the Company, generally, undertakes the
majority of the business risk. The Company is the primary obligor to
pay the service providers upon rendering of those services. In
addition, the Company acts as principal related to the packaged-tour services
rendered. Generally, the Company does not issue refunds to its
customers unless cancellation is due to its and or the service provider’s
non-delivery of services. Historically, refunds and cancellations do not have a
material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in
any accounting period.
Air Cargo
Business
The
Company received fees from its air cargo business. However, this business
segment had been accounted for as a discontinued operation upon consummation of
a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Ltd dated June
12, 2009. The Company basically brokered air cargo spaces and resold
them to local logistic companies to generate revenue. The Company had
contracted with Chinese domestic airlines as its vendors to carry out its cargo
services. Revenues generated from air cargo business were recognized
on a gross basis in the statements of income, when the service was rendered, as
the Company, generally, undertook the majority of the business
risk. The Company was the primary obligor to pay the service
providers upon rendering of those services. In addition, the Company
acted as principal related to the air cargo services
rendered. Customers were charged based on the class and weight of
goods shipped.
Historically,
the Company has experienced minimum and or immaterial returns and or
cancellation from its lines of businesses, which amount if any, would have no
material impact on its consolidated financial
statements. Accordingly, no allowance has been provided for in the
periods presented.

Cost of
Services
Costs of
services for air tickets cover mainly business and revenue related
taxes. Costs of services for hotel reservations cover mainly business
and revenue related taxes, as well as commissions paid to the sales agents for
selling hotel rooms in the Company’s system, no any accrued commission split to
sales agents due to the same day transaction. Costs of services for the cargo
agency business mainly included the costs of warehousing and delivery
charges. Costs of services for packaged tours include meals,
transportation (airline tickets, train tickets and car rental), lodging, airport
transfers, tickets to local attractions and tours. However
Other
direct costs such as systems and related technologies used by each segment
operations, and costs associated with payment processing are also included in
the Company’s Costs of Services. In addition, the Company allocates costs of
labor and facilities, depreciation, communications, and utility expenses
incurred by each segment between costs of services and general administrative
expenses. The percentage, ranging from 50% to 80%, allocated to costs
of sales is based on management estimate, and the percentage allocated is
estimated to be directly associated with the generation of
revenues.
Consolidated
costs such as stock-based compensation and corporate professional fees are not
allocated to any segment. These costs are reported as general operating expenses
in the Company’s Statements of Operations. For the three month periods ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, such expenses amounted $344,112 and $787,666,
respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, such

expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product
marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising
costs as incurred.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Income Taxes
(“ASC 740”), 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.
Statement of Cash
Flows
In
accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Statement of
Cash flows (“ASC 230”), cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon
the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities
reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes
in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Intangibles
Intangible
assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period
of benefit. Evaluation of the recoverability of intangible assets is made
annually to take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised
estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our
intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairments of intangible
assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. The Company’s
intangible assets consist primarily of map of hotels and scenic spots used for
marketing purposes, CRM systems software, accounting software. These definitive
lived intangible assets are being amortized over their useful lives.
Expenditures of $51,359 and $187,810 were capitalized for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and will be amortized over a 5
year life. In conjunction the acquisitions during the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized $3,236,376 of
Identifiable Intangible Assets, which are being amortized over 5 years. The
Company recorded amortization expenses for definitive lived intangible assets of
$23,687 and $42,322 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, $69,248 and $97,894 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively, and amortization expenses for Identifiable Intangible
Assets of $161,819 and $422,755 for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company will record approximately
$742,024, $742,024, $742,024, $680,496, and $228,404 over the next five years,
respectively.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal
business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be
credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer
base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to
accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring
procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an
allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence,
believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance
is limited.
Net Income (Loss) Per
Share
The
Company accounts for net income (loss) per share EPS in accordance with FASB
Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Earning Per Share (“ASC 260”), which
requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of
income for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS. Basic net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable
common shares such as those related to the Company’s warrants and stock options
(calculated using the treasury stock method). Diluted net income
(loss) per share is calculated by including potentially dilutive share issuances
in the denominator.

Stock Based
Compensation
For
purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock
compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505,“Equity” and
FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” we perform an analysis
of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of
implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture
rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input,
we use these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these
calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our
condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, any differences
between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material
impact on our financial statements.
Share-based
compensation costs that have been included in operating expenses amounted to
$313,842 and $306,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and $990,846 and $802,157 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively.
Related
parties
Parties
are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or
indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over
the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Parties are also
considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common
significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate
entities.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU
2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820,
adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures
of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements
and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009,
except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2012); early
adoption is permitted. There was no material impact upon the adoption
of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

Business
Overview
Headquartered
in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the Company is a travel services provider in
the People’s Republic of China and is engaged in providing reservation, booking,
and domestic and international travel and tourism services throughout China via
the internet, its tripeasy kiosks and
through call
center customer representatives. Under the theme of "Wings towards a more
colorful life", our core service segments include air-ticketing, hotels
reservations and packaged tours.
We
started our business in 1998, incorporated in Shenzhen, China, as Shenzhen
Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd.(“YZL”), and was primarily engaged in
air-ticketing business.
In 2007,
we completed the acquisition of Speedy Dragon Enterprise Limited, specializing
in air cargo agency (“SSD”); Xi'an Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co., Ltd.
("XGN"), specializing in travel packaged tours; Shanghai Lanbao Travel
Service Co., Ltd. ("SLB"), specializing in hotel reservations and Foshan
Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd. ("FOI"), a PRC-based
company that handles both domestic and international travel
inquiries.
In the
second quarter of 2009, based on the past performance of our air cargo business,
as well as the market perspective of this business, our board of directors
decided to spin off our SSD subsidiary, and as a result, exited the air cargo
business. We believe the spin-off was beneficial to us as it allowed us to
concentrate on our core business of selling air tickets, hotel accommodations
and packaged tours.
In order
to seize the opportunities arising from the economic promotion by the Chinese
government of the mid and western regions of the PRC, we strategically set up
Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd. (“CTE”) to strengthen our
presence in that region in the second quarter of 2009 and began generating
revenues in the third quarter of 2009.
In March
2010, we completed the acquisition of Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd.
("HHT"), Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. ("HTT"), and
Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. ("ZYT"). At the end of June 2010,
we also completed the acquisition of Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd
("SJT") and Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd (“KBT”), two other packaged
tour services providers included into our operations from their dates of
acquisition.
We
believe that these acquisitions of travel service providers would help us
further expand our geographic coverage in the fast growing domestic travel
market. We believe our comprehensive service platform and broad customer reach
will enable us to improve the sales volume and operation efficiency of these new
acquisitions. On the other hand, they will also help lift the sales volume and
operation efficiency of our existing subsidiaries, and thus improve our overall
earnings and profit margins.
We
currently have three discrete lines of business and revenue. Our air-ticketing
segment relates to the segment reporting of YZL and CTE. Our hotel
reservation segment relates to SLB. Our packaged tours segment relates to the
remaining eight operating subsidiaries: FOI, XGN,
STA, HHT, HTT, ZYT, SJT and KBT.
34
Operations
of each segment are exclusive to the operations of the associated subsidiary
company. Those new subsidiaries which previously had air-ticketing, hotel
reservation, and packaged tour services
were consolidated into our existing air-ticketing, hotel reservation, and
packaged tour services. With higher volume in these three business segments, we
believe that we now have better bargaining power with our suppliers, the
airlines or hotels, and packed tours.
On June
21, 2010 we closed a common stock offering transaction. In this transaction, we
issued 2,857,143 shares of common stock at $7.00 per share for an aggregate
amount of $20 million.
In July
2010, we partnered with Agoda, a subsidiary of Priceline.com, to strengthen our
hotel reservation business segment. Under this partnership agreement, we offer
our customers access to Agoda's international network of hotels. Through our
website, travelers will be able to enjoy special Agoda promotions and instant
confirmation at tens of thousands of hotels worldwide. Specifically, while
conducting a search of international hotels on our website, the results will
yield supply information from Agoda’s database. The accounting for
reservations placed through Agoda is under our hotel reservations segment under
“international hotel booking.” Also through this partnership, Agoda intends to
increase its exposure in the large Chinese travel market. This partnership
offers us the opportunity to work with one of the world's largest online hotel
reservation agencies and further strengthen our hotel reservation segment. The
cooperation with Agoda fits with our strategy of expanding our higher margin
business segments. We intend to leverage Agoda's global brand awareness and look
forward to higher volume in hotel reservation.
In 2009,
we were selected one of the Top Ten Brands of Travel Services in the People’s
Republic of China. We believe our quality of services will distinguish us in our
long term competitiveness.
On
September 10, 2010, we sold all our 1,523 tripeasy kiosks to Shenzhen Xunbao
E-Commerce Co., Ltd. ("SXB"), an online insurance company, for RMB 40.3 million
(approximately $5.9 million) in cash. We received a two-year exclusive sales
right for all travel related products on the kiosks as part of the sales
transaction. Accordingly, the sale has no impact on our performance
in the third quarter, and we believe this will save our depreciation and
maintenance costs and will improve our overall margin and financial
performance.

"Segment effect in Gross Margin" was calculated by multiplying "the percentage
of the segment revenue over the total revenue" with "gross margin of the related
sector". This outlines how each segment contributes to the total gross
margin.
Revenue
Our
air-ticketing segment relates to the segment reporting of YZL and CTE. Our hotel
reservation segment relates to SLB. Our packaged tours segment relates to the
remaining eight operating subsidiaries: FOI, XGN,
STA, HHT, HTT, ZYT, SJT, and KBT. Operations of each segment are
exclusive to the operations of the associated subsidiary company.
36
Revenues
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $46,290,131, compared to
$29,784,918 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $16,505,213, or
approximately 55%. The contributions from the five newly acquired subsidiaries
were $11,551,294, or 24.95% of our total revenues for these three months.
Excluding this effect, revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010
were $34,738,837, compared to $29,784,918 for the same period 2009, an increase
of $4,953,919, or approximately 16.63 %.
We have
expended considerable efforts to expand our businesses, especially the packaged
tour business. This resulted in the acquisition of five new packaged tour
subsidiaries this year. For that reason, along with the strong demand
for travel demand as a result of the growth of the Chinese economy, and the
continuing effect of the Chinese government’s stimulus package, our revenue for
the quarter ended September 30, 2010 increased significantly from the same
period the year before. The high growth rate is also helped by large
exhibitions in China, including the Shanghai World Expo, and higher ticket
sales. We continue to see success in cross marketing and selling our travel
related products across our business segments and increased brand awareness from
online and offline sales.
Revenue
from air-ticketing segment were $6,701,377 for the three months ended September
30, 2010 compared to $4,876,665 for the same period last year, an increase of
$1,824,712, or approximately 37.42%. This increase was generally driven by the
increase in air-ticket sales volume, approximately 250,000 more tickets were
sold compared to same period last year, and further improved by the operations
from our CTE subsidiary. We attribute the higher air ticket sales to the booming
tourism, general inflation in Chinese economy, as well as the downgraded
competition among airlines. As China’s economy grows, we believe that our growth
in air-ticketing is sustainable in the foreseeable future.
Revenue
from hotel reservations segment were $3,832,665 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $3,832,254 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $411, or approximately 0.01%. We did not buy out any hotel inventory
during the Shanghai World Expo period, and therefore the growth in this segment
was not as high as other segments. We believe that after this one-time event,
our hotel segment will continue to grow in the foreseeable future.
Revenue
from our packaged tour segment were $35,756,089 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $21,075,999 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $14,680,090, or approximately 69.65%. Excluding the effect of the
five newly acquired subsidiaries, which was $11,551,294, our revenues from this
segment were $24,204,795 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared
to $21,075,999, for the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,128,796, or
approximately 14.85%, we serviced approximately 36,000 more customer days
organically compared to the same period last year. This increase is a result of
the growth of the Chinese economy, improved operations from STA and our efforts
in carrying out various marketing programs.
Cost of
Services
Costs of
services for air-ticketing
segment cover mainly business and revenue related taxes. Costs
of services for hotel reservation
segment cover mainly business and revenue related taxes, as well as
commissions paid to the sales agents for selling hotel rooms in the Company’s
system. Costs of services for packaged tour
segment include meals, transportation (airline tickets, train tickets and
car rental), lodging, airport transfers, tickets to local attractions and
tours.
37
Other
direct costs such as systems and related technologies used by each segment
operations, and costs associated with payment processing are also included in
the Company’s Costs of Services. In addition, the Company allocates costs of
labor and facilities, depreciation, communications, and utility expenses
incurred by each segment between costs of services and general administrative
expenses. The percentage, ranging from 50% to 80%, allocated to costs
of sales is based on management estimate, and the percentage allocated is
estimated to be directly associated with the generation of
revenues. We do not offer any volume rebates but enjoy volume rebates
from our vendors, calculated based on the vendors’ own internal rebate policy.
We do not record receivables for these rebates, and we only record them as a
reduction of cost when received.
Costs of
services for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $32,827,460 compared
to $19,985,549 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $12,841,911, or
approximately 64.26%. The comparatively higher costs of services resulted from
packaged tour segment
making up a greater percentage of our total revenue and their corresponding
higher cost of services. Excluding the costs of services for the five newly
acquired subsidiaries, which was $9,826,114, costs of services for the three
months ended September 30, 2010 were $23,001,346, compared to $19,985,549, for
the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,015,797, or approximately 15.09%. The
increase is in tandem with the increase in revenue.
Costs of
services from air-ticketing segment
were $1,209,441 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared
to $783,767 for the same period last year, an increase of $425,674, or
approximately 54.31%. This increase is associated with the higher booking
volumes, higher depreciation
and maintenance cost related to tripeasy
kiosks, higher salaries expenses along with increased numbers
of employees in this segment.
Costs of
services from hotel-reservation segment were $1,369,845 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010, compared to $902,895 for the same period last
year, an increase of $466,950, or approximately 51.71%. The increase is
associated with a higher volume of commission split sales with retail agencies
as we did not buy any hotel inventory for the period of the Shanghai World
Expo. The commission rate for retail agencies is about 80% of the
total commission amount we receive from the hotels.
Costs of
services from packaged-tour segment were $30,248,174 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010, compared to $18,298,887 for the same period last
year, an increase of $11,949,287 or approximately 65.30%. The increase is
in tandem with the increase of revenue. Excluding the effect of the costs of
services for the five newly acquired subsidiaries, which was $9,826,114, our
costs of services from this segment were $20,422,060, for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $18,298,887, for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $2,123,173, or approximately 11.60%. The increase is also in tandem
with the increase of revenue in this segment.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $13,462,671, compared
to $9,799,369, for the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,663,302, or
approximately 37.38%. The increase in gross profit is due to the same factors
contributing to the growth in revenue. The growth in our domestic
air-ticketing segment is a result of synergy from our packaged tour
operations.
Gross
profit in our air-ticketing segment was $5,491,936 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $4,092,898 for the same period last year, an
increase of $1,399,038, or approximately 34.18%. Gross profit margin for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 was 81.95%, compared to 83.93% for the
same period 2009, a slight decrease of approximately 1.98% as a result of
increased depreciation expenses of our tripeasy kiosks. Because we have sold all
our kiosks in September this year, we anticipate that our margin in the
air-ticketing segment will improve in the coming quarter.
Gross
profit in our hotel reservation segment was $2,462,820 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010 compared to $2,929,359 for the same period last year, a
decrease of $466,539, or approximately 15.93%. Gross profit margin in this
segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 64.26% compared to
76.44% for the same period 2009, a decrease of approximately 12.18%. The
decreased gross profit margin is mostly associated with a higher volume of
commission split sales with retail agencies for a higher portion of sales
compared to the same period last year. We believe that after the one-time
Shanghai World Expo event, our gross profit margin will improve in the
foreseeable future.
38
Gross
profit in our packaged tour segment was $5,507,915 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $2,777,112 for the same period last year, an
increase of $2,730,803, or approximately 98%. Gross profit margin in this
segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was 15.40% compared to
13.18% for the same period in 2009, an increase of
2.22%. We have managed to improve our
overall profit margins as a result of our integration of the newly
acquired subsidiaries this quarter, by leveraging off our greater bargaining
power and synergy as a national travel group. We believe that our strong local
contacts and network established through our subsidiaries are critical in our
nationwide expansion strategy.
Our
air-ticketing and hotel reservation segments have much higher gross margin than
our packaged tour segment business primarily as our revenue from air-ticketing
and hotel reservation segments are the commission we generate and our costs of
service are mainly business taxes, systems and related technologies used in
operations, costs associated with payment processing, and allocation of costs of
labor and facilities, communications, and utility expenses, which all together
are not substantial; while costs of services for the packaged tour segment
include meals, transportation (airline tickets, train tickets and car rental),
lodging, airport transfers, tickets to local attractions and tours, that all
together are much substantial variable and fixed overheads.
Consolidated
gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2010 came in at
29.08%, a 3.82% decrease from the 32.90% in the same period last year. The lower
gross margin is mainly due to our changes in revenues mix. Due to the difference
in revenues recognition, our packaged tour segment has a lower gross margin.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, revenues generated from
packaged tour segment, which have a smaller profit-margin, grew at a higher rate
than revenues generated from air ticketing and hotel reservations, leading to
lower overall gross margin.
Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses
Major
selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended

Selling,
general and administrative expenses totaled $4,029,167 for three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $2,366,035 for the same period last year, an
increase of approximately 70.29%.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately 8.70% of revenue for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 7.94% for the same period
last year. General increase in selling, general and administrative expenses are
in connection with the growth in business operations during the three months
ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of last year. The
higher expenses on salary and commission are associated with business expansion
including approximately a 150 increase in employee headcount as a result of
acquiring the five new subsidiaries this year and an increase in commission
split as a result of increased number of large retail agencies. We do not
foresee a continued increase in the commission split as the short of hotel
inventory during the Shanghai World Expo is a one-off event and our operating
focus is to increase our direct customer sales and royalties.
39
Other Income
(Expenses)
Gain on
change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended
September, 2010 was $304,177 compared to a loss of $847,754 for same period last
year. The Company adopted Derivative and Hedging, ASC 815-40 effective
January 1, 2009. The warrants issued in connection with the “Securities
Purchase Agreement” dated August 28, 2008 were reclassified from equity to
derivative liability and marked to market. Therefore, the Company recorded
a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $304,177 on September
30, 2010 to mark to market for the decrease in fair value of the warrants from
July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
Net
Income
Net
income was $7,274,046,
or 15.71% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to
$4,712,905, 15.8% of revenues for the same period last year. The increase in net
income is mostly due to our efforts to expand our business, our merger and
acquisition strategy, as well as the non-cash gain on change in fair value of
derivative liability.
NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND 2009
The
following table presents certain consolidated statement of operations
information derived from the consolidated statements of income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively.
Because
the Company had spun off its SSD subsidiary and exited the air cargo
business in the second quarter of 2009, all numbers attributable to continuing
operations in the following discussion do not include the operating results
of SSD for the first and second quarters of 2009 and its historical
results. Such had been reclassified as discontinued
operations.

"Segment effect in Gross Margin" was calculated by multiplying "the percentage
of the segment revenue over the total revenue" with "gross margin of the related
sector". This outlines how each segment contributes to the total gross
margin.
Revenue
Our
air-ticketing segment relates to the segment reporting of YZL and
CTE. Our hotel reservation segment relates to SLB. Our packaged tour
segment relates to the remaining eight operating subsidiaries: FOI, XGN,
STA, HHT, HTT, ZYT, SJT and KBT Operations of each segment are exclusive
to the operations of the associated subsidiary company.
Revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $109,161,750, compared to
$63,701,070 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $45,460,680, or
approximately 71.37%. The contributions from the five newly acquired
subsidiaries were $28,469,080, or 26.08% of our total revenues for these nine
months. Excluding this effect, revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 were $80,692,670, compared to $63,701,070 for the same period 2009, an
increase of $16,991,600 or approximately 26.67%.
The
acquisition of the five subsidiaries this year was primarily due to our efforts
to expand our businesses, especially the packaged tour business, along with the
strong demand for travel demand as a result of the recovery of Chinese economy,
and the continuing effect of the Chinese government’s stimulus package.
The high growth rate is also helped by the comparatively lower numbers in
the same quarters last year, when the tourism industry was adversely affected by
H1N1. We continue to see success in cross marketing and selling our travel
related products across our business segments and increased brand awareness from
online and offline sales.
41
Revenues
from air-ticketing segment were $17,144,330 for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 compared to $10,922,307 for the same period last year, an increase of
$6,222,023, or approximately 56.97%. This increase is generally driven by
increase in air-ticket sales volume, approximately 600,000 more tickets were
sold compared to the same fiscal period last year, and improved operations from
CTE. We attribute the higher air ticket sales to the booming tourism, general
inflation in Chinese economy, as well as the downgraded competition among
airlines. As China’s economy grows, we believe that our growth in air-ticketing
is sustainable in the foreseeable future.
Revenues
from hotel reservation segment were $10,001,913 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $9,063,229 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $938,684, or approximately 10.36%. We did not buy out any hotel
inventory during the period of the Shanghai World Expo, and therefore the growth
in this segment is not as high as our other segments. We believe that after this
one-time event, our hotel reservations segment will continue to grow in the
foreseeable future.
Revenues
from our packaged tour segment were $82,015,507 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $43,715,534 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $38,299,973, or approximately 87.61%. Excluding the effect on
revenue from the five newly acquired subsidiaries, which was $28,469,080, our
revenues from this segment were $53,546,427 for the nine months ended September
30, 2010, compared to $43,715,534, for the same period in 2009, an increase of
$9,830,893, approximately 22%. We serviced approximately 120,000 more customer
days organically compared to the same period last year. This increase is a
result of the growth of Chinese economy, improved operations from STA, and our
efforts in carrying out various marketing programs.
Cost of
Services
Costs of
services for air ticket segment cover mainly business and revenue related
taxes. Costs of services for hotel reservation segment cover mainly
business and revenue related taxes, as well as commissions paid to the sales
agents for selling hotel rooms in the Company’s
system. Commission rates vary and are paid to these sales
agents after we are paid our commissions by the hotels. Costs of services for
packaged tour segment include meals, transportation (airline tickets, train
tickets and car rental), lodging, airport transfers, tickets to local
attractions and tours.
Other
direct costs such as systems and related technologies used by each segment
operations, and costs associated with payment processing are also included in
the Company’s Costs of Services. In addition, the Company allocates costs of
labor and facilities, depreciation, communications, and utility expenses
incurred by each segment between costs of services and general administrative
expenses. The percentage, ranging from 50% to 80%, allocated to costs
of sales is based on management estimate, and the percentage allocated is
estimated to be directly associated with the generation of revenues. We do not
offer any volume rebates but enjoy volume rebates from our vendors, calculated
based on the vendors’ own internal rebate policy. We do not record receivables
for these rebates, and we only record them as a reduction of cost when
received.
Costs of
services for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $76,643,966 compared
to $41,882,670 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $34,761,296, or
approximately 83.00%. The comparatively higher costs of services resulted from
packaged tour segment making up a greater percentage of our total revenue and
their corresponding higher cost of services. Excluding the effect of the costs
of services of the five newly acquired subsidiaries, which is $23,870,606, costs
of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $52,773,360,
compared to $41,882,670, for the same period 2009, an increase of $10,890,690,
or approximately 26%. The increase is in tandem with the increase of
revenue.
42
Costs of
services from air-ticketing segment were $3,139,213 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $1,435,746 for the same period last
year, an increase of $1,703,467, or approximately 118.65%. This increase is
associated with the higher booking volumes, higher salaries expenses along with
increased numbers of employees in this segment.
Costs of
services from hotel-reservation segment were $3,530,368 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010, compared to $2,868,994 for the same period last
year, an increase of $661,374, or approximately 23.05%. The increase is
associated with increased volume in commission split sales to retail agencies
for promoting our business and reclassification of cost of salary and
rent. We do not anticipate increases in commission
splits.
Costs of
services from packaged-tour segment were $69,974,385 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $37,577,930 for the same period last
year, an increase of $32,396,455 or approximately 86.21%. The increase is
in tandem with the increase of revenue. Excluding the effect of the costs of
services for the five newly acquired subsidiaries, which was $23,870,606, our
costs of services from this segment were $46,103,779 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $37,577,930 for the same period in 2009, an
increase of $8,525,849, or approximately 23%. The increase is also in tandem
with the increase of revenue.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $32,517,784 compared to
$21,818,400, for the same period 2009, an increase of $10,699,384, or
approximately 49.04%. The increase in gross profit is due to the same factors
contributing to the growth in revenue. The growth in both our domestic
air-ticketing and hotel reservations segment is a result of synergies from
our packaged tour operations.
Gross
profit in our air-ticketing segment was $14,005,117 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $9,486,561 for the same period last year, an
increase of $4,518,556, or approximately 47.63%. Gross profit margin for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 81.69%, slightly lower than 86.65% for
the same period in 2009. It is a result of increased depreciation and
maintenance cost of our tripeasy kiosks, but as we sold all our kiosks in
September this year, we anticipate that our margin in the air-ticketing segment
will improve in the foreseeable future.
Gross
profit in our hotel reservation segment was $6,471,545 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $6,194,235 for the same period last year, an
increase of $277,310, or approximately 4.48%. Gross profit margin in this
segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 64.70%, compared to
68.34% for the same period in 2009, a slight decrease of 3.64%. The decreased
gross profit margin is mostly due to the increase volume in commission
split sales to retail agencies and the reclassification of the costs associated.
We believe that after the one- time event, namely the Shanghai World Expo, our
hotel segment will continue to grow in the foreseeable future.
Gross
profit in our packaged tour segment was $12,041,122 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $6,137,604 for the same period last year, an
increase of $5,903,518, or approximately 96.19%. Gross profit margin
in this segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 14.68% compared
to 14.04% for the same period 2009, an increase of 0.64%. We have
managed to improve our profit margins as a result of our integration of the
newly acquired subsidiaries this year, by leveraging off our greater bargaining
power and synergy as a national travel group. We believe that our strong local
contacts and network established through our subsidiaries are critical in our
nationwide expansion strategy.
Our
air-ticketing and hotel reservation segments have much higher gross margin than
our packaged tour segment primarily as our revenues from air-ticketing and hotel
reservation segments are the commission we generated and our costs of service
are mainly business taxes, systems and related technologies used in operations,
costs associated with payment processing, and allocation of costs of labor and
facilities, communications, and utility expenses, which all together are not
substantial; while costs of services for the packaged tour segment include
meals, transportation (airline tickets, train tickets and car rental), lodging,
airport transfers, tickets to local attractions and tours, that all together are
much substantial variable and fixed overheads.
43
Consolidated
gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 came in at
29.79%, a 4.46% decrease from the 34.25% in the same period last year. The lower
gross margin is mainly due to our changes in revenues mix. Due to the difference
in revenues recognition, our packaged tour segment has lower gross margin.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenues generated from
packaged tour segment, which have a smaller profit-margin, grew at a much higher
rate than revenues generated from air ticketing and hotel reservation segments,
leading to lower overall gross margin.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses totaled $10,553,846 for nine months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $5,181,280 for the same period last year, an
increase of approximately 103.69%.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses were approximately 9.67% of revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 8.13% for the same period
last year. General increase in selling, general and administrative expenses are
in connection with the growth in business operations during the nine months
ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the same period of last year. During
the first three quarters of 2010, we incurred extra professional fees,
amortization expenses of identified intangible assets, and consolidation
expenses for the aforesaid mergers and acquisitions. To promote our businesses,
especially the packaged tour segment, we spent $247,449 on advertisements in the
first three quarters of 2010, while we did not incur so much for the same period
last year. In the second half of 2009, we established two subsidiaries, CTE and
STA. Depreciation and amortization expenses of these two newly established
companies have been taken into account since the third quarter of 2009. The
doubling of salary expense and commission is due to the increased
split on commissions to large retail agencies as a
result of increase sales volume and an increase in the number of new
hires including employees from our five new acquisitions Average salary is
approximately 2,000 RMB/month for first-line employees, and commission paid per
marketing employee is approximately 2,500 RMB/month base on their
performance.
Other Income
(Expenses)
Gain on
change in fair value of derivative liability for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 was $1,253,181 compared to a loss of $6,553,971 for the same period
last year. The Company adopted Derivative and Hedging, ASC 815-40 effective
January 1, 2009. The warrants issued in connection with the “Securities
Purchase Agreement” dated August 28, 2008 were reclassified from equity to
derivative liability and marked to market. Therefore, the Company recorded
a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $1,253,181 on
September 30, 2010 to mark to market for the decrease in fair value of the
warrants from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
44
Net
Income
Net
income was $17,408,085, or 15.95% of revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to $5,509,420, or 8.65% of revenues for the same
period last year. The significant increase in net income is mostly due to our
efforts to expand our business, our merger and acquisition strategy, as well as
the non-cash gain on change in fair value of derivative liability.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Cash for
operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from
operations and equity raise. Cash and cash equivalents were $56,664,313 as of
September 30, 2010. Current assets and current liabilities as of September 30,
2010 were $101,628,596 and $11,960,100, respectively, yielding working capital
of $89,668,496. We believe that the funds available to us from operations and
equity raise are adequate to meet our operating needs for the next twelve
months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by
operating activities was approximately $17,069,277,
which resulted primarily from our operating cash flow and effective
management of cash flow.
Capital
expenditure
Total
capital expenditure for nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $2,779,988 to
purchase fixed assets, primarily machinery and equipment, such as tripeasy
kiosks. On September 9, 2010, all of our 1,523 tripeasy kiosks were sold for a total of
$5,698,498. Management may consider substantial increase in equipment
or other supporting machinery expenditures to support the fast development and
expansion of our business in the future.
Working Capital
Requirements
Historically,
operations and short term financing have been sufficient to meet our cash needs.
We believe that we will be able to generate revenue from operations to provide
the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital requirements.
However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will
depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, the
opportunity to acquire or start-up new businesses, and the availability of
credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Due to our
rapid growth and expansion, our need for additional capital may arise, and
management will seek to raise capital for the maintenance and expansion of our
operations through the issuance of debt or equity if necessary. To satisfy these
capital needs due to our broad expansion in PRC, we may incur additional capital
expenditures.
We filed
a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register $50,000,000 worth of
securities on August 7, 2009, which became effective on November 5, 2009. In
December 15, 2009, we closed Subscription Agreements with certain investors to
sell to them an aggregate of 2,222,222 shares of common stocks for net proceeds
of $18.9 million. We also closed another common stock public offering
transaction on June 16, 2010. In this transaction we issued 2,857,143 shares of
common stocks fornet proceeds of $18.8 million.
Unless
otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net
proceeds from the sale of the securities under the S-3 registration for general
corporate purposes, including expanding our products, and for general working
capital purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire or invest in businesses and products that are complementary to our own,
although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any
acquisitions as of the date of the S-3 registration.
45
Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have
never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements except leases
and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed
any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on
non-financial assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk.
We currently do not hold or use any
derivative or other financial instruments that expose us to substantial market
risk except for our derivative warrant liability and we have no foreign exchange
contracts.
We are exposed to foreign exchange risk
arising from fluctuations in the exchange rate between U.S. Dollars and
Renminbi. Our operations are located in the People’s Republic of China and
substantially all of our revenues and assets are denominated in Renminbi.
However our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar and some of our expenses are
denominated in U.S. Dollars. As a result, our financial results are potentially
subject to the impact of changes in value between U.S. Dollars and Renminbi. If
the Renminbi depreciates relative to the U.S. Dollar, the value of our revenues,
earnings and assets as reported in our financial statements will
decline.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of our Disclosure Controls
As of the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure
Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are
designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly
Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO
and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure
Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any
system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.
Based
upon their controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our
Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
our third fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
