 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
 To the Board of Directors and
 Stockholders of Universal Travel Group
 
 We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Universal Travel Group as of June 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. These consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Note 1 - ORGANIZATION
 
 Universal Travel Group was incorporated on January 28, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Full Power Enterprise Global Limited was incorporated under the laws of the British Virginia Islands. Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. was incorporated on March 9, 1998 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)., Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Services was incorporated on July 25, 2001 under the laws of PRC, Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd. was established in 2002 under the laws of PRC. Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 1990 under the laws of PRC, Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd. and Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (formerly named Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co., Ltd.) were both incorporated in 2009 under the laws of PRC, Hebei Tianyuan Travel Agency Co., Ltd. was incorporated in April 1999 under the laws of PRC, Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd. was incorporated in April 1999 under the laws of PRC, Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 2000 under the laws of PRC, Kunming Business Travel Service Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 1993 under the laws of PRC, Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. was incorporated in 1988 under the laws of PRC. Collectively these corporations are referred to herein as the Company.
 
 Universal Travel Group owns 100% of the equity interest in Full Power Enterprise Global Limited, which in turn owns 100% of the equity interest in Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., a wholly owned foreign entity in the PRC. Universal Travel Group and Full Power Enterprise Global Limited do not conduct any substantive operations of their own. Instead, all operations of the consolidated company are conducted through its subsidiary, Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. (“YZL”). YZL and its subsidiaries, and various variable interest entities, collectively, related to herein as subsidiaries.
  In 2007 and 2009, YZL entered into certain shareholding agreements with various related PRC residents and Shenzhen Yuzhixing Aviation Service, Co. Limited (“Party B”) to hold YZL shares of ownership of Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co., Ltd. (“XGN”) and Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., formerly known as Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“STA”).The significant details of the agreements and other important information, among others, are outlined below:
 
 Universal Travel Group funded the start up activities and incorporation of XGN and STA and related subsidiaries, through cash or common stock issuance;
 YZL entrusted Party B as the name holder only of YZL equity interest in XGN and STA;
 Party B shall neither participate in the management of operation nor shareholder meeting decisions of YZL, XGN or STA;
 YZL, as the actual fund provider of XGN and STA, will enjoy all shareholder rights and profit sharing;
 YZL, is entitled to all profits and is required to absorb all losses of XGN and STA and its subsidiaries;
 Party B is not responsible for losses nor to benefit from any income of XGN and/or STA;
 YZL will cover any capital infusion requirements of XGN and STA and related subsidiaries; and
 If XGN and/or STA were to dissolve, YZL will enjoy the right to allocate and divide assets.
 
 Based on these contractual arrangements, management believes that XGN and STA and related subsidiaries should be considered “Variable Interest Entity” (“VIE”) under ASC 810 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”, because the equity holders in XGN and STA no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through YZL, is the primary beneficiary of XGN and STA and its operations.
 
 On March 17, 2011, the shareholders of XGN transferred 100% of the equity interests in XGN to STA and completed the registration of change in ownership with the PRC authorities on April 2, 2011.  As a result, XGN is no longer subject to the aforementioned VIE arrangements and is no longer considered our VIE under ASC 810.
  Universal Travel Group and YZL are responsible to fund any capital share shortfalls for STA and its subsidiaries. In addition, Universal Travel Group funded through cash and common stock the acquisitions as discussed in Note 2.

 Translation Adjustment
 
 As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the accounts of Universal Travel Group were maintained, and its condensed 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 830”). Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of condensed 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, consolidation of VIE's, 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.

 Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
 The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Travel Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities, including Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd., Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co., Ltd., Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co. Ltd., Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd., Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou 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. 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 condensed 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.
 
 On April 15, 2011, the plaintiff Albert Snellink commenced putative class action in the United States District Court, District of New Jersey against Universal Travel Group, and Jiangping Jiang, Yizhao Zhang and Jing Xie, officers of the Company. In the complaint, plaintiff alleges a claim for violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against all defendants, and a claim for a violation of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants in connection with purported misrepresentations contained in the Company’s public filings and press releases. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages, and his costs incurred in the action. The Company’s time to answer or move with respect to the complaint has not yet expired. The Company believes that the allegations of complaint are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

 On May 20, 2011, the plaintiff Alex Loeb commenced a derivative action in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for Carson City against Universal travel Group, and Jiangping Jiang, Jing Xie, Huijie Gao, Jiduan Yuan, Lizong Wang, Wenbin An, Lawrence Lee, Yizhao Zhang and Liquan Wang, officers and directors of the Company. In the complaint, plaintiff purports to assert derivative claims against the individual defendants for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment based upon alleged conduct of the individual defendants which damaged the Company’s reputation, goodwill and standing in the business community. The complaint also alleges that such conduct may result in liability for violations of federal law. The complaint seeks, among other relief, the amount of damages sustained by the Company as a result of the Defendants’ breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment and plaintiff’s counsel’s, accountant’s and experts’ fees. On June 17, 2011, the Company filed an answer to the compliant in which the Company denied the material allegations of the complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
 
 As of June 30, 2011, the Company is not involved in any another material legal dispute, other than those disclosed above and those which occur in the normal operations of a business.
 
 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.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The new accounting guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity. Under the new guidance, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
 In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance related to fair value measurement and disclosures in the financial statements. This guidance conforms the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards to ensure the related standards are consistently applied. The guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard will not materially expand the Company's consolidated financial statement footnote disclosures.

 As of June 30, 2011, the Company has invested $38,991,181 into HappyFund of China Construction Bank with interest rate 3.10%, 3.34%, and 4.39%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately $3.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The increase in the Company’s income tax expense was primarily due to the increase in profits of its PRC subsidiaries and VIE.
 
 The effective tax rate increased by 6% from a 24% effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to a 30% effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

In 2007 and 2009, YZL entered into certain shareholding agreements with various related PRC residents and Shenzhen Yuzhixing Aviation Service, Co. Limited (“Party B”) to hold YZL shares of ownership of Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co., Ltd. (“XGN”) and Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., formerly known as Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (“STA”).The significant details of the agreements and other important information, among others, are outlined below:
 
 Universal Travel Group funded the start up activities and incorporation of XGN and STA and related subsidiaries, through cash or common stock issuance;
 YZL entrusted Party B as the name holder only of YZL equity interest in XGN and STA;
 Party B shall neither participate in the management of operation nor shareholder meeting decisions of YZL, XGN or STA;
 YZL, as the actual fund provider of XGN and STA, will enjoy all shareholder rights and profit sharing;
 YZL, is entitled to all profits and is required to absorb all losses of XGN and STA and its subsidiaries;
 Party B is not responsible for losses nor to benefit from any income of XGN and/or STA;
 YZL will cover any capital infusion requirements of XGN and STA and related subsidiaries; and
 If XGN and/or STA were to dissolve, YZL will enjoy the right to allocate and divide assets.
 
 Based on these contractual arrangements, management believes that XGN and STA and related subsidiaries should be considered “Variable Interest Entity” (“VIE”) under ASC 810 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”, because the equity holders in XGN and STA no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through YZL, is the primary beneficiary of XGN and STA and its operations.
 
 On March 17, 2011, the shareholders of XGN transferred 100% of the equity interests in XGN to STA and completed the registration of change in ownership with the PRC authorities on April 2, 2011.  As a result, XGN is no longer subject to the aforementioned VIE arrangements and is no longer considered our VIE under ASC 810.

Universal Travel Group and YZL are responsible to fund any capital share shortfalls for STA and its subsidiaries. In addition, Universal Travel Group funded through cash and common stock the acquisitions as discussed in Note 2.





In 2007, we completed the acquisitions of Xi'an Golden Net Travel Serve Service Co., Ltd., which specializes in domestic packaged tour services, and Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd., which specializes in hotel reservations and Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd, which handles both domestic and international travel inquiries.





In early 2008, we successfully integrated our packaged tours, air-ticketing and hotel reservation businesses onto our newly developed on-line platform, which provides rich and comprehensive travel information to primarily leisure travelers.





In October 2008, we successfully rolled out our TRIPEASY Kiosks, an innovative self-service terminal capable of handling a full ranging of booking services including packaged tours through a secured built in payment function that accepts all major Chinese bank cards. On September 9, 2010, we sold all of 1,523 Kiosks to Shenzhen Xunbao E-commerce Co. Ltd. with a slight gain. The strategy of sales of Kiosks was to minimize our capital expenditures and related expenses. We still have the full right to use these Kiosks after the sales for two years according to the agreement.





In December 2008, we established Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co. Ltd.), a PRC company, to meet the increasing packaged-tour demand in Shenzhen City.





In March 2009, in order to seize the opportunities arising from the economic promotion by the PRC government of the mid and western regions of the PRC, we strategically set up Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd., a PRC company, to strengthen our presence in that region. It began generating revenues in the third quarter of 2009.





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.





In 2010, we acquired a total of five companies for stock and cash through our VIE structure and strategy, namely Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd.





In order to finance the abovementioned acquisitions and our working capital, on December 10, 2009, we entered into a subscription agreement to sell to institutional investors an aggregate of 2,222,222 shares of our common stock at a price of $9.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $19.0 million. The sale of the common stock closed on December 15, 2009. The offer and sale of the shares were made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-161139) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2009 and amended on November 2, 2009. The Registration Statement was declared effective on November 5, 2009.




19




On June 15, 2010, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC, as representative of the underwriters (the “Representative”), related to a public offering of 2,857,143 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $7.00 per share less a 5% underwriting commission. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Representative an option, exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to an additional 428,572 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3, as amended and supplemented (Registration Statement No. 333-161139) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On June 21, 2010, we closed the common stock offering announced on June 16, 2010. In the transaction, we issued 2,857,143 shares of common stock at $7.00 per share for an aggregate amount of $20 million.





On December 24, 2010, we, through our subsidiary, Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., obtained the International Travel License issued by the National Travel Authority, granting us the right to operate and offer global package tours in mainland PRC and our subsidiary changed name to Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co., Ltd. to reflect the upgrade. In the past, we had only been able to offer such packages through agencies which possess this license. There are over 20,000 travel agencies in the PRC, of which only approximately 1,300 travel agencies have this International Travel License.





In order to leverage on our International Travel License, we have decided to franchise our license to local travel agencies.  Recently, we granted our franchise to eight local travel agencies in Shenyang, Dalian and Qingdao. They have converted their business model, adopted our franchise operating scheme, and updated their local business registration to run this franchise officially. As of June 30, 2011, we are still providing training and internal control testing for these franchisees and accordingly they have not generated any revenue yet.





We currently have three discrete lines of business and revenue, and each is carried out by a few subsidiaries of the Company and our VIE: (i) air-ticketing (Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd.), (ii) hotel reservations (Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd. and Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd.), and (iii) packaged tours (Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd., Xi'an Golden Net Travel Serve Service Co., Ltd., Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd., Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co. Ltd., Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. and Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd.).





Our strategy is to further utilize our international travel license, and expand our geographic service coverage by establishing more franchise offices and set up call centers in some of these franchisee offices where there is customer demand for air-ticketing and hotel reservation services. We also plan to integrate our offline businesses with our online platform.





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





Income Tax Expense





We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, and our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are subject to enterprise income taxes in the PRC.  We recorded an income tax expense of approximately $1.9 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recorded an income tax expense of approximately $3.8 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to the increase in profits of its PRC subsidiaries.





As of June 30, 2011, unrecognized tax benefits were $30,804.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $30,804 at June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2010, unrecognized tax benefits were $0.  The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 at June 30, 2010.





For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded uncertain tax benefits of approximately $0 and $0, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded uncertain tax benefits of approximately $0 and $0, respectively.

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. Our hotel reservation segment relates to Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd. and Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd. Our 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 Co., Ltd., Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co. Ltd., Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. and Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd.





Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $32,861,778, compared to $31,866,123 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $995,655, or approximately 3.12%. The slight increase in revenue is contributed by our expanded packaged tours business and stable sales in our air ticketing business. 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.





Revenues from air-ticketing segment were $5,020,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $4,796,513 for the same period last year, an increase of $223,832, or approximately 4.67%. This slight increase is generally driven by increase in air-ticket sales volume and higher air-ticket prices than the same quarter last year. We attribute the higher air ticket sales to a booming tourism industry, general inflation in PRC economy, as well as less competition among airlines. As the PRC economy continues to grow, we believe that our growth in air-ticketing is sustainable in the foreseeable future.





Revenues from the hotel reservations segment were $2,695,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $3,432,017 for the same quarter in 2010, a decrease of $736,239, or approximately 21.45%. The decrease is associated with the transition period of our new strategy in this segment. In the second quarter this year, we ceased all hotel rooms wholesaling operations, which was previously conducted through the China Booking Association platform. Instead we focused our strategy on the more profitable direct sales and hotel packaged products. Accordingly, there was a slight decrease in revenue during this transition period. We believe the change in our hotel reservation strategy will enhance our competitiveness, increase our profitability and place our hotel reservation business in an advantageous position for long term success.





Revenues from our packaged tour segment were $25,145,655 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $23,637,593 for the same quarter in 2010, an increase of $1,508,062, or approximately 6.38%. The slight increase is a result of our efforts to expand our packaged tour business and mix and growth in domestic tours sales but offset by a drop insales in international tours by Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd. after Japan's earthquake, tsunami, and radiation disaster.





Cost of Services





Costs of services for air tickets cover mainly business and revenue related expenses and 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. Commission rates vary and are paid to these sales agents after we are paid our commissions by the hotels. 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.




22





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. 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 June 30, 2011 were $24,112,626 compared to $23,135,302 for the same quarter last year, an increase of $977,324, or approximately 4.22%. The increase is in tandem with the increase of revenue.  Our increased cost in air ticketing business is associated with higher percentage of commission cost to a major retail agency in this segment. The comparatively higher costs of services resulted from packaged tours making up a greater percentage of our total revenue and their corresponding higher cost of services. But we were able to integrate with wider geographic covered local subsidiaries as a result of acquisitions to create synergy to tightly control our packaged tour segment costs.





Costs of services from the air-ticketing segment were $1,857,664 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,465,419 for the same quarter last year, an increase of $392,245, or approximately 26.77%. This increase is associated with the higher salaries expenses along with increased numbers of employees in this segment and increased percentage of commission paid to a major retail agency.





Costs of services from the hotel-reservation segment were $163,312 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $981,156 for the same quarter last year, a decrease of $817,844, or approximately 83.36%. The significant decrease is a result from our strategy to focus on direct sales to reduce commissions paid to second tier wholesale agents. in the second quarter this year.





Costs of services from the packaged-tour segment were $22,091,650 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $20,688,727 for the same quarter last year, an increase of $1,402,923 or approximately 6.78%. The increase is in tandem with the increase of revenue.





Gross Profit





Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $8,749,152 compared to $8,730,821, for the same quarter last year, an increase of $18,331, or approximately 0.21%. The stability in gross profit is due to the growth in revenue and control of cost as explained above. The growth in both our domestic air-ticketing business and hotel reservation business is a result of synergies from our packaged tour operations.





Gross profit in our air-ticketing segment was $3,162,681 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3,331,094 for the same quarter last year, a decrease of $168,413, or approximately 5.06%. Gross profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 63.00%, slightly lower than 69.45% for the same quarter last year. We anticipate that our gross margin in the air-ticketing segment will be stable and improve in the foreseeable future.





Gross profit in our hotel reservation segment was $2,532,466 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2,450,861 for the same quarter last year, an increase of $81,605, or approximately 3.33%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 93.94%, compared to 71.41% for the same quarter last year, an increase of 22.53%. The increase in gross profit margin is due to our new strategy to focus on more profitable direct sales in the second quarter this year.





Gross profit in our packaged tour segment was $3,054,005 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $2,948,866 for the same quarter last year, an increase of $105,139, or approximately 3.57%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was 12.15% compared to 12.48% for the same quarter last year, a decrease of 0.33%. The stability in gross margin for this segment was mainly attributable to improved profit margins from our 2010 acquired subsidiaries into this segment. We believe that our strong local contacts and networks established through our subsidiaries are critical in our nationwide expansion strategy.

Our air-ticketing and hotel reservations have much higher gross margin than our packaged tour business primarily because our revenues from air-ticketing and hotel reservation are the commissions we generated. Our costs of service are mainly costs relating to 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 variables and fixed overheads.





Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2011 came in at 26.62%, a 0.77% slight decrease from the 27.40% in the same quarter last year. The stability in gross margin is mainly due to integration among segments and as our strategy increased focus on online development.

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. Our hotel reservation segment relates to Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd. and Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd. Our packaged tour segment relates to Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd., Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co., Ltd., Xi’an Golden Net Travel Serve Service Co., Ltd., Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co. Ltd., Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan International Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. and Kunming Business Travel Agency Co., Ltd.





Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $66,657,271, compared to $52,291,902 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $14,365,369, or approximately 27.47%. The increase is contributed by our business expansion, especially in packaged tour segment, along with the strong demand for travel as a result of the recovery of PRC economy, and the continuing effect of the PRC government’s stimulus package, benefiting the whole industry. 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.





Revenues from air-ticketing segment were $10,280,773 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8,702,488 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,578,285, or approximately 18.14%. This increase is generally driven by increase in air-ticket sales volume and higher air-ticket prices than the same quarter last year, and increased revenue from Chongqing Travel World E-Business Co., Ltd. as it gained more local market share after being established for over a year. We attribute the higher air ticket sales to booming tourism, general inflation in the PRC economy, as well as the downgraded competition among airlines. As the PRC economy continues to grow, we believe that our growth in air-ticketing segment is sustainable in the foreseeable future.





Revenues from the hotel reservation segment were $6,389,731 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $6,462,123 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $72,392, or approximately 1.12%. In the second quarter this year, we ceased all hotel rooms wholesaling operations, which was previously conducted through the China Booking Association platform. Instead we focused our strategy on our more profitable direct sales and hotel packaged products, resulting in a slight decrease in revenue during this transition period.  We believe the change in our hotel reservation strategy will enhance our competitiveness and profitability and place our hotel reservation business in an advantageous position for long term success.




Revenues from our packaged tour segment were $49,986,767 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $37,127,291 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $12,859,476, or approximately 34.64%. The increase is associated with our expansion in this segment. Our subsidiaries acquired in 2010 in this segment contributed $22,512,538 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $7,275,588 for the same period last year, which was in a transition period.

Cost of Services





Costs of services for air tickets cover mainly business and revenue related expenses and 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. Commission rates vary and are paid to these sales agents after we are paid our commissions by the hotels. 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 costs relating to 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2011 were $49,032,903 compared to $37,304,787 for the same period last year, an increase of $11,728,116, or approximately 31.44%. The increase is associated with a combination of higher costs in our air ticketing business due to the higher commissions to a major retail agency, offset by the lower commissions paid to second tier wholesale agents in our hotel reservation business due to our new strategy to focus more on direct sales and packaged products  in the second quarter, and higher cost incurred in expanding our packaged tour business. The increase is in tandem with the increase of revenue.





Costs of services from the air-ticketing segment were $3,773,987 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2,833,290 for the same period last year, an increase of $940,697, or approximately 33.20%. This increase is associated with the higher booking volumes, higher salaries expenses due to increased numbers of employees and higher percentage of commissions paid to a major retail agency in this segment.





Costs of services from the hotel-reservation segment were $1,537,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,979,573 for the same period last year, a decrease of $444,817, or approximately 22.32%. We benefit from our strategy to focus on direct sales for the reduction on commissions paid to second tier wholesale agents in the second quarter.





Costs of services from the packaged-tour segment were $43,721,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $32,491,924 for the same period last year, an increase of $11,229,296, or approximately 34.56%. The increase is also in tandem with the increase of revenue.





Gross Profit





Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $17,624,368 compared to $14,987,115, for the same period last year, an increase of $2,637,253, or approximately 17.60%. The increase in gross profit is due to the growth in revenue and control of cost as explained above. The growth in both our domestic air-ticketing business and hotel reservation business is a result of synergies from our packaged tour operations.





Gross profit in our air-ticketing segment was $6,506,786 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $5,869,198 for the same period last year, an increase of $637,588, or approximately 10.86%. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 63.29%, slightly lower than 67.44% for the same period last year, a slight decrease of 4.15%. The decreased gross profit margin is mostly due to higher commission paid to a major retail agency. We anticipate that our gross margin in the air-ticketing segment will be stable and improve in the foreseeable future.





Gross profit in our hotel reservation segment was $4,852,035 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $4,482,550 for the same period last year, an increase of $369,485, or approximately 8.24%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 75.93%, compared to 69.37% for the same period last year, an increase of 6.56%. The increase in gross profit is due to our new strategy to focus on more profitable direct sales.




27




Gross profit in our packaged tour segment was $6,265,547 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $4,635,367 for the same period last year, an increase of $1,630,180, or approximately 35.17%. Gross profit margin in this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 12.53% compared to 12.49% for the same period last year, an increase of 0.04%. The stability in gross margin for this segment was mainly attributable to improved profit margins from Universal Travel International Travel Agency Co. Ltd, and Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd. We believe that our strong local contacts and networks established through our subsidiaries are critical in our nationwide expansion strategy.





Our air-ticketing and hotel reservations have much higher gross margin than our packaged tour business primarily as our revenues from air-ticketing and hotel reservation segments are the commissions we generated. Our costs of service are mainly costs relating to 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 variables and fixed overheads.





Consolidated gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2011 came in at 26.44%, a 2.22% decrease from the 28.66% in the same period last year. The lower gross margin is mainly due to our increased weight of our lower margin packaged tours segment in our revenue mix. Due to the difference in revenues recognition, our packaged tour segment has lower gross margin. During the first six months of 2011, revenues generated from packaged tours grew at a much higher rate than revenues generated from air ticketing and hotel reservation segments as a result of acquisitions of five packaged tour travel agencies, leading to lower overall gross margin. However, management believes the packaged tour segment is critical to the substantial growth of air ticketing and hotel reservation segments in the long run, and overall gross margin is expected to improve as integration among segments improves and as our strategy increases focus on online development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately 8.36% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to 6.97% 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 six months period of 2011, as compared to the same period last year. During the first six months of 2011, we incurred extra professional fees, more salaries expenses, less depreciation expenses than the same period last year, and higher stock based compensation for 2010 incentive stock plan. To promote our businesses, especially air ticketing business, we spent $507,252 on advertisements on popular Chinese websites in the first six months of 2011, while we did not incur so much for the same period last year. The increased salary expense and commission are due to an increase in the number of newly hired employees.

Other Income (Expenses)





Gain on change in fair value of derivative liability for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $445,216 compared to $949,004 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 $445,216 on June 30, 2011 to mark to market for the decrease in fair value of the warrants from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.





Net Income





Net income was $8,897,303, or 13.35% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $9,277,013, or 17.74% of revenues for the same period last year, a decrease of $379,710, or 4.09%. The stability in net income is mostly due to our efforts to expand our business, our merger and acquisition strategy, and 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 $41,807,581 as of June 30, 2011. Current assets and current liabilities as of June 30, 2011 were $122,751,526 and $9,477,510, respectively, yielding working capital of $113,274,016. 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 six months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $17,760,426, which resulted primarily from our operations and effective management of cash flow.





Capital Expenditure





Total capital expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $62,662, used to purchase fixed assets, primarily transportation equipment and lease hold improvement for our call center in our new headquarter in Shenzhen. Management may consider substantial increase in decoration and equipment or other supporting machinery expenditures as we start our franchise model and 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, 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 for net 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.

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.

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 chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“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.
