Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Universal Travel Group
 
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Universal Travel Group. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.
 
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
 
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings and comprehensive income, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and in our report dated February 22, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
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 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.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash of $172,871 and $102,681 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, consists of cash deposited in bank required and hold by Providence Travel Bureaus.

Accounts Receivable
 
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Terms of the sales vary. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $439,858 and $414,927 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

Furniture and Fixtures

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.  See Note 7, Purchase of Subsidiaries, for additional information regarding goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company adopted the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 360”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business. 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
 
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.
 
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 month ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $109,451 to mark to market for the increase in fair value of the warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2010.   Under ASC 815, the warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting period. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were warrants outstanding to purchase 227,151 and 764,785 shares of common stock related to the derivative liabilities - warrants.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Derivative Liability (Continued)

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 originally 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 March 31, 2010 was $1,705,868. The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%; volatility: 117%, risk free rate: 2.55%, expected term: 3.41years.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). 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. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as unearned revenue.
 
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 Overseas 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-boarder travel tour our 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-tour 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 or when tour is completed and collections are reasonably assured.  Generally, the Company does not issue refund 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 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 resell 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 and collections are reasonably assured.  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 four 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 revenue related commissions paid to retail agents.  Costs of services for hotel reservations cover mainly commissions paid to the sales agents for selling hotel rooms in the Company’s system.  Costs of services for the cargo agency business mainly include 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.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Cost of Services (Continued)

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 ended March 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, such expenses amounted $336,632 and $2,393,958.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising 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, and Organization cost of new companies. These definitive lived intangible assets are being amortized over their useful lives.  Expenditures of $29,298 and $0 were capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and will be amortized over a 5 year life.  In conjunction the acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company capitalized $1,982,354 of Identifiable Intangible Assets, which are being amortized over 5 years. The Company recorded amortization expense for intangible assets of $16,515 and $27,201, for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company will record approximately $68,013, $68,013, and $68,013 over the next three 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 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.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February, 2007, FASB issued SFAS 159 ‘The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’ – Including an Amendment of FABS Statement No. 115.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments.  This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, SFAS No 159 was superseded by the Financial Instruments Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 825”), the adoption of this accounting requirement has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”).  This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). SFAS No 160 was superseded by the Consolidation Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 810”) The Company adopted SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No 161 was superseded by the Derivative and Hedging Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 815”).
 
On May 8, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature.  SFAS No 162 was superseded by the General Accounting Principle Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 105”).

In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, 05”). EITF No. 07-05 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. EITF No. 07-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. EITF No. 07-05 was superseded by the Derivative and Hedging Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 815”). Based on the Company’s evaluation of this issue, the adoption of this accounting requirement has a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, please see note above under “Derivative Liability”.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 In June 2009, the FASB issued amended standards for determining whether to consolidate a variable interest entity. These amended standards eliminate a mandatory quantitative approach to determine whether a variable interest gives the entity a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity in favor of a qualitatively focused analysis, and require an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and we are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (previously SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, which amends ASC Topic 820, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides additional guidance on the measurement of liabilities at fair value. These amended standards clarify that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, we are required to use the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities, or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets. If these quoted prices are not available, we are required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach or a market approach. These amended standards are effective for us beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
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.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2009-14 on its financial statements.

These forward-looking statements represent Management’s belief as to the future of Universal Travel Group. Whether those beliefs become reality will depend on many factors that are not under management’s control. Many risks and uncertainties exist that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the Company is a travel services provider in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC) and is engaged in providing reservation, booking, and domestic and international travel and tourism services throughout the PRC via the internet, its TRIPEASY Kiosks and through customer representatives.

Under the theme of “Wings towards a more colorful life”, our core services include tour packaging, booking services for air tickets and hotels reservations.

In 2007, we completed the acquisition of Speedy Dragon Enterprise Limited, specializing in air cargo agency; Xi'an Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co., Ltd., specializing in travel packaged tours; Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd., specializing in hotel reservations and Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd., a PRC-based company that handles both domestic and international travel inquiries.

In the second calendar quarter of 2009, based on the past performance of our air cargo business, as well as the market perspective of this business, we decided to spin off our Speedy Dragon Enterprise Limited subsidiary, and as a result, exited the air cargo business. The air cargo industry had been suffering from the contraction in manufacturing in the Pearl River Delta, and we were not competitive enough in this segment of 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-Business Co., Ltd. to strengthen our presence in that region in the second quarter of 2009 and began generating revenues in the third quarter of 2009.

At the end of March 2010, we completed the acquisitions of Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd. (“Huangshan Holiday”), Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Tianyuan”), and Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Yulongkang”).

Recently in May 2010, we also announced our intention of acquiring four more travel agency businesses in the PRC – Tianjin Hongxun Aviation Agency Co., Ltd. (“Tianjin Hongxun), Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Shanxi Jinyang”), Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“Kunming Business Travel”), and Shandong Century Aviation Development Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Century”).

We believe that we are able to improve the sales volume and operation efficiency of these new acquisitions, and on the other hand, they will also help lift the sales volume and operation efficiency of our existing subsidiaries.

 
36

 

We currently have three discrete lines of business and revenue. Our air-ticketing segment relates to the segment reporting of Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd., hotel reservation segment relates to Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd, and Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd, packaged tours segment relates to Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd., Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd, Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Service Company Limited, Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co. Ltd, Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., and Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd.. The new subsidiaries which previously had air-ticketing service, hotel reservation services, or packaged tours service were consolidated into our existing air-ticketing, hotel reservation, and packaged tours services. With higher volume in these three business segments, we believe that we now have better bargaining power with our suppliers, the airlines, hotels, or packaged tours.

In 2009, we were selected one of the Top Ten Brands of Travel Services in the PRC. We believe our quality of services will distinguish us in our long term competitiveness.

We aim to be the foremost leading online travel services provider in the PRC, especially in the air ticketing service, hotel booking and packaged tour providing sectors.

Revenue

Our air-ticketing segment relates to the segment reporting of Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd., hotel reservation segment relates to Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd and Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., packaged tours segment relates to Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd., Foshan International Travel Service Co., Ltd, Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Service Company Limited, Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co. Ltd, Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., and Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd.

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $20,425,779 compared to $15,421,993 for the same period 2009, an increase of $5,003,786, or approximately 32.45%.

The increase of the previously existing subsidiaries was primarily due to 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. We continue to see success in cross marketing and selling our travel related products across our business segments and increased brand awareness from online sales and the deployment of our TRIPEASY kiosks.

Revenue from air-ticketing segment were $3,905,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,751,128 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,154,847, or approximately 42.0%. This increase is generally driven by the same factors mentioned above, but more specifically, a result of the increased demand for air passenger transportation. Our Chongqing subsidiary, Chongqing Universal Travel E-Business Co., Ltd., has begun to contribute some revenues to this sector. As China’s economy recovers, we believe that our growth in air-ticketing is sustainable in the coming quarters.

Revenue from hotel reservations segment were $3,030,106 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $2,516,831 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $513,275, or approximately 20.4%. This increase is also a result of the factors mentioned above for air tickets and the successful cross marketing of our various business segments.

Revenue from our packaged tour segment were $13,489,698 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $10,154,034 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,335,664, or approximately 32.9%. This increase is a result of the recovery of Chinese economy, the government’s stimulus package, and our strong efforts in carrying our various marketing programs.

Cost of Services
 
Costs of services for air tickets cover mainly revenue related expenses and commission paid to the retail agents. 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. 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.

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 depreciation expenses allocated to costs of sales is based on management estimate associated with the generation of revenues.

Costs of services for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $14,169,485 compared to $10,306,052 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $3,863,433, or approximately 37.5%. The comparatively higher costs of services result from higher percentage of packaged tours in our revenues.
 
Costs of services from air-ticketing were $1,367,871 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $869,988 for the same period last year, an increase of $497,883, or approximately 57.2%. The increase is mostly due to our reclassification of costs associated.

Costs of services from hotel-reservation were $998,417 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $773,463 for the same period last year, an increase of $224,954, or approximately 29.1%. The increase is partly due to our reclassification of costs associated.

Costs of services from packaged-tour were $11,803,197 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $8,662,601 for the same period last year, an increase of $3,140,596, or approximately 36.3%. The increase is in tandem with the increase of revenue.
 
Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $6,256,294 compared to $5,115,941 for the same period 2009, an increase of 1,140,353, or approximately 22.3%. The increase in gross profit is due to the same factors contributing to the growth in revenue. The exponential growth in both our domestic air-ticketing business and hotel reservations business is a result of synergies from our packaged tour operations.

Gross profit in our air-ticketing segment was $2,538,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $1,881,140 for the same period last year, an increase of 656,964, or approximately 34.9%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 65.0% compared to 68.4 % for the same period 2009, a decreased of approximately 3.4%. The decrease in gross margin was mainly attributable to their reclassification of the costs associated, and to a lesser extent, the consolidation of Chongqing's new operation in this segment. Despite the decrease in profit margin, the significant increase in the sales volume of this segment still resulted in an increase in the total gross profit in our air-ticketing business operated by Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd.

Gross profit in our hotel reservation segment was $2,031,689 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,743,368 for the same period last year, an increase of $288,321 approximately 16.5%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 67.1% compared to 69.3% for the same period 2009, a decrease of approximately 2.2%. The decrease of gross profit margin was mainly due to our reclassification of certain costs associated.

Gross profit in our packaged tour segment was $1,686,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,491,433 for the same period last year, an increase of $195,068, or approximately 13.1%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was 12.5% compared to 14.7% for the same period 2009, a decrease of approximately 2.2%. The reason for the lower gross profit margin is that we offered discounts to certain big customers. Despite the decrease in gross profit margin, total gross profit increased in this segment as a result of the increased volume in our packaged travel businesses operated by the existing businesses, as well as the additional three new acquisitions.
 
Our air-ticketing and hotel reservation have much higher gross margin than our packaged tour business primarily as our revenue from air-ticketing and hotel reservation 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 tours 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 March 31, 2010 came in at 30.6%, a 2.5% decrease from the 33.2% the Company posted 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 has lower gross margin. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, revenues generated from packaged tours, which have a smaller profit-margin, grew at a much higher rate than revenues generated from air ticketing and hotel reservations, leading to lower overall gross margin.

During the first quarter of 2010, we incurred extra professional fee. In addition, the slight increase in percentage was also due to the issuance of stock based compensation in early 2009 and the amortization of such stock based compensation, whereas the stock based compensation is less significant during the same period last year.

Gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $109,451 compared to $113,265 for same period last year. The Company adopted Derivative and Hedging, ASC 815-40 effective January 1, 2009 and 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 $109,451 on March 31, 2010 to mark to market for the increase in fair value of the warrants from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2010.
 
Net Income

Net income was $3,546,435, or 17.4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $3,381,541, or 21.9% of revenue for the same period last year. The decrease in net income as a percentage of revenue is mostly due to the change of revenue mix. The lower net margin compared to the same period last year, mainly comes from our higher percentage of packaged-tour in our gross revenues, and to a lesser extent, the effect of our discontinued operations and more provisions for income taxes.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash for operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations. Cash and cash equivalents were $37,660,201 as of March 31, 2010. Current assets and current liabilities as of March 31, 2010 were $69,756,224 and $11,042,286, respectively, yielding working capital of $58,713,938. We believe that the funds available to us from operations are adequate to meet our operating needs in 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $6,291,615, which resulted primarily from our organic operations and effective management of cash flow.

Capital expenditure

Total capital expenditure for three months ended March 31, 2010 was $619,616 to purchase fixed assets, primarily machinery and equipments, such as TRIPEASY kiosks. Management may consider substantial increase in equipment or other supporting machinery expenditure to support the fast development and expansion of our business.

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, as well as to set up more TRIPEASY kiosks, we may incur additional capital expenditure.
 
We filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register $50,000,000 worth of securities on Aug 7, 2009, which became effective on November 5, 2009. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of financing. 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements 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 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 first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
