CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED
Note
1- Basis of Presentation
ORGANIZATION
AND CAPITALIZATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q
and Item 310 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The
preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may
differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period
ended November 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009.
The
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated.
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements in order
for them to be in conformity with the current year presentation.
CASH
AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2008 and February 28,
2008, the Company did not have any, low risk investments.
ACCOUNT
RECEIVABLES
The
Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business.
Further, the Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables, and provides
estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the
level of established loss reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its
customers’ ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors.
As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or
additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for
doubtful accounts may be required. The Company also performs ongoing credit
evaluations of customers’ financial condition. The Company maintains reserves
for potential credit losses, and such losses traditionally have been within its
expectations
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over 3 to 10 years.
Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over 7 years. Accelerated methods of
depreciation are generally used for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of
the improvement or the term of the lease. The Company performs ongoing
evaluations of the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment for
depreciation purposes. The estimated useful lives are determined and continually
evaluated based on the period over which services are expected to be rendered by
the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
IMPAIRMENT
OF LONG LIVED ASSETS
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," The Company
periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not
be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of
expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the
asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the
asset’s estimated fair value and its book value.
OTHER
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Acquired
intangible assets are separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible
asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the
intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged,
regardless of the Company’s intent to do so.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION
In
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, “Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements”, as amended by SAB No. 104,
“Revenue Recognition”, and related interpretations, revenue is recognized when
the services have been rendered and are billable.
ADVERTISING
EXPENSES
The
Company follows the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) 93-7, “Reporting
on Advertising Costs,” in accounting for advertising
costs. Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and are
included in sales and marketing expenses in the accompanying financial
statements. Advertising expense for the FISCAL year ended February 29, 2008 was
$172,014; the advertising expenses for nine months ending November 30, 2008 were
$33,832
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes". Under this method, deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when
the differences are expected to
reverse.
Had
income taxes been determined based on an effective tax rate of 37.6% consistent
with the method of SFAS 109, the Company's net losses for all periods presented
would not materially change.
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Next 1 Interactive, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of
revenues and expenses during the reported period
GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June
2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets.
7
Next
1 Interactive, Inc.
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
It
addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group
of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be
accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. This Statement
also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for
after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. The
Company tests for impairment of the goodwill at least annually, if not more
depending upon substantial changes in the Company that may lead to a change in
the goodwill during interim periods.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.
(FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of
the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon
audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN
48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company did not
have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial
condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN
48.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER
SHARE
Earnings
(loss) per share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per
Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period,
by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and
other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The
outstanding warrants at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively are
anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in earnings (loss) per
share.
ACCOUNTING
FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". This
statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date
fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized
over the period during which an employee is required to provide service.
In
addition, a public entity is required to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of liability instruments based on its current
fair value. The fair value of that award has been remeasured subsequently at
each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during
the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that
period.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R) “Applying the Acquisition Method”,
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. This statement retains the fundamental requirements in FAS 141
that the acquisition method be used for all business combinations and for an
acquirer to be identified for each business combination. FAS 141(R) broadens the
scope of FAS 141 by requiring application of the purchase method of accounting
to transactions in which one entity establishes control over another entity
without necessarily transferring consideration, even if the acquirer has not
acquired 100% of its target. Among other changes, FAS 141(R) applies
the concept of fair value and “more likely than not” criteria to accounting for
contingent consideration, and preacquisition contingencies. As a
result of implementing the new standard, since transaction costs would not be an
element of fair value of the target, they will not be considered part of the
fair value of the acquirer’s interest and will be expensed as incurred. The
Company does not expect that the impact of this standard will have a significant
effect on the financial condition and results of operations.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB also issued FAS No. 160, “Accounting for Noncontrolling
Interests”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. This statement clarifies the classification of noncontolling
interests in the consolidated statements of financial position and the
accounting for and reporting of transactions between the reporting entity and
the holders of non-controlling interests. The Company does not expect
that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on its
financial condition, results or operations, cash flows or
disclosures.
In
December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110. This guidance allows
companies, in certain circumstances, to utilize a simplified method in
determining the expected term of stock option grants when calculating the
compensation expense to be recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment . The simplified method can be used after December 31, 2007
only if a company’s stock option exercise experience does not provide a
reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected option term. Through 2007,
we utilized the simplified method to determine the expected option term, based
upon the vesting and original contractual terms of the option. On
January 1, 2008, we began calculating the expected option term based on our
historical option exercise data. This change did not have a significant impact
on the compensation expense recognized for stock options granted in
2008.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”
(SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial
reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative
instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all
derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items,
bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and
qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161
must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative
disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure
implications of this statement; however, the new statement will not have an
impact on the determination of our financial results.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets.” This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). The objective of this FSP is to improve the
consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the
asset under SFAS 141(R), and other principles of GAAP. This FSP applies to all
intangible assets, whether acquired in a business combination or otherwise, and
shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and
applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
Early adoption is prohibited. We have evaluated the new statement and have
determined that it will not have a significant impact on the determination or
reporting of our financial results.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162). This statement identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are
presented in accordance with GAAP. With the issuance of this statement, the FASB
concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed toward the entity and not
its auditor, and reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB as
opposed to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in
Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” This statement is
effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
“The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.” We have evaluated the new statement and have determined that it
will not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of our
financial results.
In May
2008 the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash
Settlement). ” APB 14-1 requires the issuer to separately account for the
liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments in a manner that
reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The guidance will
result in companies recognizing higher interest expense in the statement of
operations due to amortization of the discount that results from separating the
liability and equity components. APB 14-1 will be effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities". This
FASB Staff Position (FSP) addresses whether instruments granted in share-based
payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and,
therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings
per share (EPS) under the two-class method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of
FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. This FSP provides that unvested
share-based payment awards that contain non forfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and
shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method.
The provisions of FSP No. 03-6-1 shall be effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those years. All prior-period EPS data presented shall be adjusted
retrospectively (including interim financial statements, summaries of earnings,
and selected financial data) to conform to the provisions of this FSP. Early
application is not permitted. The provisions of FSP No. 03-6-1 are effective for
the Company retroactively in the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company
is currently assessing the impact of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 on the calculation and
presentation of earnings per share in its’ consolidated financial
statements.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are
not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements
upon adoption.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock" (EITF
07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step
approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument's
contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on
the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based
employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF
07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on
its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and
temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become
deductible.

As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of $4,367,383 and a working capital deficit of $1,600,665
at February 29, 2008, net losses for the year ended February 29, 2008 of
$4,751,602 and cash used in operations during the year ended February 29, 2008
of $3,565,235. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has
not been significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. In order
to raise funds, the Company has continued to raise funds through private
placements with third party. Management may attempt to raise additional funds by
way of a public or private offering. While the Company believes in the viability
of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional
funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's limited
financial resources have prevented the Company from aggressively advertising its
products and services to achieve consumer recognition.

Organization
History; Business Overview
We are an
interactive media company focusing on video and rich media advertising delivered
over internet and television platforms.
Our
predecessor, Maximus Exploration Corporation, was a reporting shell company
incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 29, 2005. On October
9, 2008, we consummated reverse merger with Maximus, and Maximus changed its
name to Next 1 Interactive, Inc. We merged with Maximus in order to
become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and to have our common stock traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board (OTCBB). Our common stock is traded on the OTCBB under the ticker symbol
“NXOI.”
Prior to
the reverse merger, we conducted our operations under name Extraordinary
Vacations Group, Inc. (EXVG). EXVG was incorporated in the state of Delaware on
June 24, 2002.
We
conduct all of our operations business through our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (EVUSA). EVUSA was
formed in June 2004 under the predecessor name Cruise and Vacation Shoppes,
Inc., a consortium of leisure-oriented travel agencies. EVUSA acquired Attaché
Concierge Services, a high-end travel concierge business in January 2005. In
September 2006, EVUSA acquired Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations, an upscale
tour operator specializing in luxury escorted and “fully inclusive” independent
tours worldwide. EVUSA also owns The Travel Magazine, a substantial library of
travel-oriented television shows and other destination videos. Combining the
email databases of these acquisitions, the Company has an opt-in email list of
over 2 million travelers.
Since our
inception in June 2002, we have been focused on the travel industry solely
through the Internet. We intend to change our current business model from a
company that generates nearly all of its revenues from its travel divisions, to
a media company focusing on travel and residential real estate by utilizing the
Internet, Internet radio and cable television.
In April
2008, we acquired Brands on Demand, an internet media company. Brands on Demand
is engaged in interactive media advertising.
In August
2008, we launched an Internet radio station called Next
TripRadio.com.
13
In
October 2008, we acquired two companies: Home Preview Channel (HPC)
and Loop Networks Inc (Loop). HPC is a real-estate focused cable television
network currently distributed in 1.6 million homes controlled by Comcast, the
nation’s largest cable operator. Loop is a technology company for TV
and Internet interface for HPC.
We
believe that Brands on Demand will allow for advertising revenues and that HPC
will allow for significant additional distribution through the HPC TV
network.
The
technology behind the Loop Networks consists of a proprietary informative
content aggregation network and a five-point content distribution model which
consists of Basic TV, Video On Demand (VOD), Broadband, Interactive TV, and
Wireless, all of which are designed to facilitate live end-user feedback. The
entire content distribution model is supported by Loop Networks centralized
content database.
We have
three divisions dedicated to our travel business: NextTrip.com,
Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations and Cruise Shoppes. Currently, the majority
of our revenue is generated by Maupintour Extraordinary Vacations and Cruise
Shoppes.

Reverse
Merger with Maximus Exploration Corporation
Pursuant
to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 24, 2008, between Andriy
Volianuk, a 90.7% stockholder of Maximus Exploration Corporation (Maximus),
Extraordinary Vacation Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company
(EXVG), and EVUSA, Mr. Volianuk sold his 5,000,000 shares of Maximus common
stock, representing 100% of his shares of Maximus common stock, to EXVG for an
aggregate purchase price of $200,000. After the sale, Mr. Volianuk did not own
any shares of Maximus. EXVG then proceeded to dividend the 5,000,000 shares of
Maximums stock to the management of EXVG upon the conversion of their preferred
stock of EXVG.
15
Pursuant
to a Share Transaction Purchase Agreement, dated October 9, 2008, between
Maximus, EXVG and EVUSA, EXVG exchanged 100% of its shares in EVUSA (the “EVUSA
Shares”) for 13,000,000 shares of common stock of Maximus (the Share Exchange).
EXVG then proceeded to dividend the 13,000,000 shares of Maximus common stock to
the stockholders of EXVG (“EXVG Stockholders”), on a pro rata basis. As a result
of the transactions, EVUSA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Maximus. Maximus
then changed its name to Next 1 Interactive, Inc. and authorized 200,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share. Such transactions are hereinafter

Going
Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had
an accumulated deficit of $4,367,383 and a working capital deficit of $1,600,665
at February 29, 2008, net losses for the year ended February 29, 2008 of
$4,751,602 and cash used in operations during the year ended February 29, 2008
of $3,565,235. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has

going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being
taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues
provide the opportunity for the Company
The
current worldwide recession and declines or disruptions in the travel industry
could adversely affect our business or financial performance.
Our
business and financial performance is affected by the health of the worldwide
travel industry. Travel expenditures are sensitive to business and personal
discretionary spending levels and tend to decline or grow more slowly during
economic downturns, including downturns in any of our major markets. Events or
weaknesses specific to the air travel industry that could negatively affect our
business include continued fare increases, travel-related strikes or labor
unrest, consolidations, bankruptcies or liquidations and further fuel price
escalation. Additionally, our business is sensitive to safety concerns, and thus
our business has in the past and may in the future decline after incidents of
actual or threatened terrorism, during periods of political instability or
geopolitical conflict in which travelers become concerned about safety issues,
as a result of natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes or when
travel might involve health-related risks, such as avian flu. Such concerns
could result in a protracted decrease in demand for our travel services. This
decrease in demand, depending on its scope and duration, together with any
future issues affecting travel safety, could significantly and adversely affect
our business and financial performance over the short and long-term. In
addition, the disruption of the existing travel plans of a significant number of
travelers upon the occurrence of certain events, such as actual or threatened
terrorist activity or war, could result in the incurrence of significant
additional costs and constrained liquidity if we provide relief to affected
travelers by not charging cancellation fees and/or by refunding the price of
airline tickets, hotel reservations and other travel products and
services.
16
We
operate in an increasingly competitive global environment.
The
market for the services we offer is increasingly and intensely competitive. We
compete with both established and emerging online and traditional sellers of
travel services with respect to each of the services we offer. Some of our
competitors, particularly travel suppliers such as airlines and hotels, may
offer products and services on more favorable terms, including lower prices, no
fees or unique access to proprietary loyalty programs, such as points and miles.
Many of these competitors, such as airlines, hotel and rental car companies,
have been steadily focusing on increasing online demand on their own websites in
lieu of third-party distributors such as our Company. For instance, some low
cost airlines, which are having increasing success in the marketplace,
distribute their online inventory exclusively through their own websites.
Suppliers who sell on their own websites typically do not charge a processing
fee, and, in some instances, offer advantages such as increased or exclusive
product availability and their own bonus miles or loyalty points, which could
make their offerings more attractive to consumers than offerings like ours. In
addition, we face increasing competition from other travel agencies, which in
some cases may have favorable offerings for both travelers and suppliers,
including pricing, connectivity and supply breadth. We also compete with other
travel agencies for both travelers and the acquisition and retention of supply.
The introduction of new technologies and the expansion of existing technologies,
such as metasearch and other search engine technologies, may increase
competitive pressures or lead to changes in our business model. Increased
competition has resulted in and may continue to result in reduced margins, as
well as loss of travelers, transactions and brand recognition. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to compete successfully against current, emerging and
future competitors or provide differentiated products and services to our
traveler base.
Evolving
Industry Standards; Rapid Technological Changes
Our
success will depend in part upon our continued ability to enhance our existing
products and services, to introduce new products and services quickly and cost
effectively, meet evolving customer needs, achieve market acceptance for new
product and service offerings, and to respond to emerging industry standards and
other technological changes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
respond effectively to technological changes or new industry standards.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop
competitive products, or that any such competitive products will not have an
adverse effect upon our operating results.
Moreover,
we intend to continue to implement "best practices" and other established
process improvements in its operations going forward. There can be no assurance
that we will be successful in refining, enhancing and developing our operating
strategies and systems going forward, that the costs associated with refining,
enhancing and developing such strategies and systems will not increase
significantly in future periods or that our existing software and technology
will not become obsolete as a result of ongoing technological developments in
the marketplace.
Acquisitions
could result in operating and financial difficulties.
We plan
on entering into new web 2.0 business in the future. Our growth may depend, in
part, on acquisitions. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions, we will
face the operational and financial risks that commonly accompany that strategy.
We would also face operational risks, such as failing to assimilate the
operations and personnel of the acquired businesses, disrupting their ongoing
businesses, increased complexity of our business, impairing management resources
and their relationships with employees and travelers as a result of changes in
their ownership and management. Further, the evaluation and negotiation of
potential acquisitions, as well as the integration of an acquired business, may
divert management time and other resources. Some acquisitions may not be
successful and their performance may result in the impairment of their carrying
value.
Certain
financial and operational risks related to acquisitions that may have a material
impact on our business are:
|
•
|
Use
of cash resources and incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities in
funding acquisitions;
|
|
•
|
Amortization
expenses related to acquired intangible assets and other adverse
accounting consequences;

and the acquired business;
|
|

Results of
Operations
At
November 30, 2008, our cash on hand was $97,051, compared to $64,369 at February
29, 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to private investor equity
funding.
At
November 30, 2008, our accounts receivable were $91,618, compared to $48,249 at
February 29, 2008. This increase was due to increase of interactive media sales
from travel suppliers.
At
November 30, 2008, our total assets were $17,458,669, compared to $409,369 at
February 29, 2008. This increase was primarily due to our acquisition of Loop
Networks, Inc.
At
November 30, 2008, our total current liabilities were $2,408,612, compared to
$1,942,566 at February 29, 2008. This increase was due to $500,000 in payables
from the companies we recently acquired.
Three Months Ended November
30, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 2007
Revenues. Our total revenues
were $985,195 for the three months ended November 30, 2008, compared to
$1,876,079 for the three months ended November 30, 2007. The decrease from 2007
to 2008 was primarily due to the declining economy, resulting in a general
decline in the travel and leisure industry.
Net Profit. We had a net
profit of $337,009 for the three months ended November 30, 2008 compared to a
net loss of $635,245 for the three months ended November 30, 2007. The increase
in profit from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to the closing of the Las Vegas
office and consolidation of our staff in Florida, in addition to gross operating
profits from increased sales totaling approximately $150,000.
Operating expenses. Our
operating expenses include website maintenance fees, general and administrative
expenses, salaries and benefits, bad debt expense, advertising and promotion,
legal and professional fees. Our total operating expenses decreased from
$1,241,265 for the three months ended November 30, 2007 to $421,878 for the
three months ended November 30, 2008. The decrease from 2007 to 2008 was
primarily due to the closing of our Las Vegas office and capitalization of
development costs that had been previously expensed throughout the current
period, and reclassification of capital asset purchase which had been
expensed.
Nine Months Ended November
30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended November 30, 2007
Revenues. Our total revenues
were $2,365,568 for the nine months ended November 30, 2008, compared to
$3,671,483 for the nine months ended November 30, 2007. The decrease from 2007
to 2008 was primarily due to the decline of approximately 260 travelers on
escorted tours. .
18
Net Loss. We had a net loss
of $1,439,684 for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 compared to $2,003,410
for the nine months ended November 30, 2007. The decrease in net loss from 2007
to 2008 was primarily attributable to a discharge of accruals in August 2007 and
bad debt expense, totaling $1,133,382.
Operating expenses. Our
operating expenses include website maintenance fees, general and administrative
expenses, salaries and benefits, bad debt expense, advertising and promotion,
legal and professional fees. Our total operating expenses decreased from
$3,316,586 for the nine months ended November 30, 2007 compared to $2,152,818

primarily attributable to a discharge of accruals in August 2007 and bad debt
expense, totaling $1,133,382.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources; Going Concern
In their
audit report for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, our auditors expressed
their substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at
November 30, 2008, the Company had $97,051 cash on hand and a stockholders’
equity of $15,050,056. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the
growth has not been significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations
and the Company cannot currently fund its operations for the next 12 months. To
date, we have funded our operations primarily from private equity financings.
From the fiscal year ended February 28, 2006 to 2008, we have issued an
aggregate of 734,431,280 for an aggregate purchase price of $4,622,883. Until
the Company becomes and maintains profitability, if ever, management may attempt
to raise additional funds by way of one or more public or private equity or debt
offerings. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to improve sales
volume and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances
to that effect. The availability of funds depends in large measure on capital
markets and over which we exert no control and liquidity factors. We can provide
no assurance that sufficient financing will be available on desirable terms to
fund investments, acquisitions, stock repurchases or extraordinary
actions. General weakening in the credit markets could increase our
cost of capital.

a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of as of November 30,
2008. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the
information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and
communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During
the Quarter ended November 30, 2008, there were no changes in our internal
controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
