Accordingly, Baoshinn Corporation and all of its majority owned subsidiaries will be referred to collectively sometimes hereinafter as the Company.
3.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has generated a net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $134,426; on September 30, 2011 it had an accumulated deficit of $1,032,992 and a working capital of $950,691.
Management believes that actions presently taken to revise the Companys operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this stage. If the Company is unsuccessful in its endeavors, it may be forced to cease operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
On June 29, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single source of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for all non governmental entities Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification did not change US GAAP and FASB standards. The codification is rather giving previous systems a different numbering system. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of the Codification did not have any impact on the Companys financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the years are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Use of estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These accounts and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. In respect of accounts receivable, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition, generally without requiring collateral or other security. In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsibility for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. Further, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each balance sheet date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Companys credit risk is significantly reduced.
Concentrations of supplier risk
The Company relies on Thai Airways as its major supplier of air tickets and tour packages. If this supplier became unwilling to cooperate with the Company, the Company would have to find alternative resources, which could materially affect the Companys ability to generate revenue and profitability.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully collectible. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable.
The Company has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
During the reporting nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not experience any bad debts and accordingly, did not make any allowance for doubtful debts.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates :
Furniture and fixtures | 20% - 50% | |||
Office equipment | 20% - 50% |
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is earned and realizable based on the following criteria: persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
The Company also evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross versus a net basis through application of Emerging Issues Task Force No. (EITF) 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. The consensus of this literature is that the presentation of revenue as the gross amount billed to a customer because it has earned revenue from the sale of goods or services or the net amount retained (that is, the amount billed to a customer less the amount paid to a supplier) because it has earned a commission or fee is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. In making an evaluation of this issue, some of the factors that should be considered are: whether the Company is the primary obligor in the arrangement (strong indicator); whether it has general inventory risk (before customer order is placed or upon customer return) (strong indicator); and whether we have latitude in establishing price. The guidance clearly indicates that the evaluations of these factors, which at times can be contradictory, are subject to significant judgment and subjectivity. If the conclusion drawn is that the Company performs as an agent or a broker without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of goods, revenue should be reported on a net basis.
The Company has the following three types of revenues:
-
Retail and corporate travel service revenues,
-
Referral fee for travel booking services, and
-
Incentive commission from travel suppliers.
Retail and corporate travel service revenues
Revenues from retail and corporate travel services are recognized when the travel service provided by the Company is completely delivered. The Company presents revenue from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations, as the Company acts as a principal, assumes inventory and credit risks, and has primary obligations to the airlines or hotels for cancelled air tickets, packaged tour products or hotel reservations. The Company also has latitude in determining the ticket prices. The Company changes the product by combining air ticket and hotel accommodations with local car transportation and other ancillary services to make it a holiday package or business travel solution for customers.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Revenue recognition (Continued)
Referral fee for travel booking services
The Company receives referral fee from travel product providers for booking travel services through the Company. The itinerary and product price are generally fixed by the travel product providers and the Company books the travel services on behalf of the customers. Referral fees from travel booking services rendered are recognized as commissions after the services are rendered and collections are reasonably assured. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations, as the Company acts as an agent, does not assume any inventory and credit risks, has no obligations for cancelled airline or hotel ticket reservations, and does not have latitude in determining the service prices.
Incentive commission from travel suppliers
The Company earns an incentive commission from many travel suppliers. Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain discretionary escalating commissions that are paid to the Company subject to achieving specific performance targets. Such discretionary escalating commissions are recognized on an accrual basis because such commissions are usually paid in arrears and the Company can reasonably estimate such commissions. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the statements of operations, as the Company acts as an agent, does not assume any inventory risk, and has no obligations for cancelled airline ticket reservations.
Deferred revenue
The Company records deferred revenue when it receives payments in advance of the completion of delivery of travel services. Hence, rrevenue from retail and corporate travel service is deferred. Upon completion of delivery of travel services, the Company recognized this as sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
Deferred cost
The Company records deferred cost when it pays in advance of the completion of delivery of travel services and consistently with deferred revenue. Upon completion of delivery of travel services, deferred cost is charged to cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations.
Advertising expenses
Advertising expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period that includes the enactment date or date of change in tax rate.
The FASB issued Accounting Standard Codification Topic 740 (ASC 740) Income Taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This requires that an entity recognized in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have any impact on the Companys results of operations or financial condition for the year ended 31 December, 2010. As of the date of the adoption of ASC 740, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income
Other comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts are recorded as a component of stockholders equity. The Companys other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is Hong Kong dollars (HK$). The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchanges rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.

Foreign currency translation (Continued)
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and stockholders equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any translation adjustments resulting are not included in determining net income but are included in foreign exchange adjustment to other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders equity.

Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying values of the Companys financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, deposits, trade and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair values because the applicable interest rates approximate current market rates.
Basic and diluted earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (ASC 260) Earnings Per Share, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
The calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended 30 September, 2011 is based on the estimate fair value of the Companys common stock during such periods applied to options using the treasury stock method to determine if they are dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R). Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the costs over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not record stock-based compensation.

Related parties transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Companys securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Companys management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2010, the FASB has published ASU 2010-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)-Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria in Subtopic 605-25, Revenue Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on: (a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or (c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method and also requires expanded disclosures. The guidance in this update is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Recently issued accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In January 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-06 (ASU 2011-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 (the Companys fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2010-14 on its financial statements.
In February 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 which is intended to be consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding and the Boards commitment published in 2006 to achieving that goal, the amendments in this Update are the result of the work by the FASB and the IASB to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The Boards worked together to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRSs and that their respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same (except for minor differences in wording and style). The Boards concluded that the amendments in this Update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this Update explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 which is intended to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the FASB decided to eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity, among other amendments in this Update. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income.

The Company is incorporated in the United States, and is subject to United States federal and state income taxes. The Company did not generate taxable income in the United States in 2010 and 2011. The subsidiaries are incorporated in Hong Kong, and are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax or income tax at 16.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

17.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), related to the Companys financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3 unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
ASC 820 also provides guidance for determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that asset is not active, and for determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. We use words such as expect, anticipate, believe, and intend and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should be aware that actual results may differ materially from our expressed expectations because of risks and uncertainties inherent in future events and you should not rely unduly on these forward looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. Reference in the following discussion to our, us and we refer to the operations of Baoshinn Corporation and its subsidiaries (We), except where the context otherwise indicates or requires.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to the audited financial statements included in this annual report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
A.
Operating Results
We are a relatively small consolidator of hotel accommodations and airline tickets in Hong Kong. We aggregate information on hotels and flights, and enable our customers to make informed and cost-effective hotel and flight bookings. Our customers are mainly retail travel agencies in Hong Kong, and corporate travelers. We generate a very small portion of our revenue from referral commissions when we refer our clients to other travel product providers, such as package tour companies. We also receive incentive commissions from our travel services suppliers, such as airlines, based on our contract with such suppliers.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we derived 98.6%, 0.6% and 0.8% of our total revenues from our retail & corporate clients, referral commissions, and airline incentive commissions respectively.
Major Factors Affecting the Travel Industry
A variety of factors affect the travel industry in Hong Kong, and hence our results of operations and financial condition, including:
Growth in the Overall Economy and Demand for Travel Services in Hong Kong. We expect that our financial results will continue to be affected by the overall growth of the economy and demand for travel services in Hong Kong and the rest of the world. The Hong Kong economy is highly influenced by the Chinese economy. Any adverse changes in economic conditions of China and the rest of the world, such as the global financial crisis and the economic downturn, could have a material adverse affect on the travel industry in Hong Kong. This in turn could harm our business.
Seasonality in the Travel Service Industry. The travel service industry is characterized by seasonal fluctuations and accordingly our revenues may vary from quarter to quarter. To date, the revenues generated during the summer season of each year generally are higher than those generated during the winter season. The reason for this is because the summer season coincides with the peak business and leisure travel season, while the winter season of each year includes the Christmas and Chinese New Year holiday, during which our customers reduce their business activities.
-25-
Disruptions in the Travel Industry. Individual travelers tend to modify their travel plans based on the occurrence of events such as:
·
The outbreak of HIN1 influenza, avian flu, SARS or any other serious contagious diseases;
·
Increased oil prices resulting fuel surcharge;
·
Increased occurrence of travel-related accidents;
·
Natural disasters or severe weather conditions;
·
Terrorist attacks or threats of terrorist attacks or war;
·
Any travel restrictions or security procedures
In early 2003, several regions in Asia, including Hong Kong and China, were affected by the outbreak of SARS. The travel industry in China, Hong Kong and some other parts of Asia suffered tremendously as a result of the outbreak of SARS.
In 2009, an outbreak of H1N1 influenza (swine flu) occurred in Mexico and the United States and human cases of the swine flu were discovered in China and Hong Kong.
In 2010, the political instability and riots in Thailand disrupted holiday travel and many travelers canceled holiday bookings to the region.
In 2011, the earthquake, Tsunami and nuclear power station failure in Japan resulted in a major airline in Hong Kong temporarily canceling all its flights to Japan. Our business and operating results were adversely affected in all these cases.
Major Factors Affecting Our Business
Our main business comes from retail and corporate travelers. We are vulnerable to all the above general factors affecting travel industry. In particular, we are more sensitive to the disruption in the South East Asia region including the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Taiwan.
During 2010, our biggest travel destination market was Thailand, and it had a politically volatile year, with marches and demonstrations disrupting tourist travel. The Hong Kong government issued several travel advisories for Thailand (Bangkok in particular), which caused a decline in travel and ticket sales. The political situation in Thailand had stabilized by the end of 2010.
Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010. The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated.

% | % | ||
Retail and Corporate revenue | 98.4% | 98.7% | |

Total revenue | 100% | 100% |
We generate our revenues primarily from retail and corporate business, and our primary source of growth came from increased sales in that area. We are not relying on referral commissions and incentive commissions as our primary source of revenue, as those categories only represent a fraction of our revenue. We also refer our clients to other travel product providers when we cannot provide needed services. We see referrals as an added value to our customers in terms of widening our client base. We also do not rely on airline incentive commissions, due to the fact that airlines are cutting back commissions through the use of online booking technologies, which have begun to predominate over the past ten years. As a result of these factors, airlines are more and more reluctant to give away commissions to travel agencies. However, our relationships with the airlines are very important because they allow us to obtain better wholesale pricing.
Retail and Corporate Revenue
We recognize revenues from retail and corporate travel services when we completely deliver the travel service. We present revenue from such transactions on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, because we act as a principal, we assume inventory and credit risks, and we have the primary obligation to the airlines or hotels for cancelled air tickets, packaged tour products or hotel reservations. We also have discretion in determining the service prices. We make alterations to the product by combining air ticket and hotel accommodations with local car transportation and other ancillary services in order to create a holiday package or business travel solution for customers.
Retail and corporate revenue is our main source of revenue growth. Retail and corporate revenue grew from $8.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $11.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, representing a growth rate of 31%. We attribute the growth mainly to the accelerating global economic recovery during the period. During the period, there was an increase in transaction volume in terms of increased number of travelers in both retail agency and corporate travel categories. We also believe we had a relatively stable third quarter in 2011 compared to 2010 in terms of general travel disruption factors.
We also believe we had a relatively stable year in 2011 compared to 2010 in terms of the general travel disruption factors discussed previously. We have had difficult years from 2008 to 2010 due to the many travel disruption factors we have mentioned before. The uncertainty of global economic recovery from the 2008 financial crisis lead to a significant reduction of business travelers. During that period, we saw our corporate clients limit business travel expenses as a cost reduction strategy. With the 2009 outbreak of H1N1 influenza (swine flu), we also saw a significant reduction in the number of retail flights being booked.
During 2010, the Thailand market, our biggest travel destination market, had a politically volatile year, with marches and demonstrations disrupting tourist travel. The Hong Kong government issued several travel advisories for Thailand (Bangkok in particular) which caused a decline in ticket sales in that year. The political situation in Thailand stabilized by the end of 2010. The negative impact from Thailand in 2010 was offset by the improving global economic recovery.
We have maintained our good relations with airlines which specialize in the South Asia region. In fact, we were recognized by Eva Airline as its top selling agent in Hong Kong in 2010. Eva Airlines operates both short haul routes within South East Asia and long haul routes including routes to North America and Europe. We were also appointed as a first tier agent for two additional airlines, i.e., HongKong Airlines & HongKong Express during 2009. Hong Kong Airlines operates flights originating mainly from Hong Kong to destinations in Asian cities, including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and major cities in Japan. HongKong express operates flights originating mainly from Hong Kong to second-tier cities on mainland China including Changsha, Fuzhou, Hangzhou, Hefei, Guiyang, etc.

Referral fees for travel booking services
We received referral fees from travel product providers for booking travel services during the three month period. The itinerary and product prices are generally fixed by the travel product providers, and we book the travel services on behalf of the customers. Referral fees from travel booking services rendered are recognized as commissions after the services are rendered and collections are reasonably assured. We present revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations because we act as an agent, we do not assume any inventory and credit risks, we have no obligation for cancelled airline or hotel ticket reservations, and we do not have discretion in determining the service prices.
Incentive commission from travel suppliers
We earn incentive commissions from many travel suppliers. Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain discretionary escalating commissions that are paid to us subject to meeting specific performance targets. Such discretionary escalating commissions are recognized on an accrual basis because the commissions are usually paid in arrears, and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the commissions. Our statement of operations presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis, because we act as an agent, we do not assume any inventory risk, and we have no obligation for cancelled airline tickets.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Costs of sales are costs directly attributable to rendering our revenues, which consist primarily of payments for travel costs to airlines and suppliers. Cost of sales accounted for 96.8% of our revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 96.2% of our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
The table below sets forth the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated.
Three months ended September 30, 2011 | Three months ended September 30, 2010 | |||||
$ | $ | |||||
Total revenue | 11,179,500 | 8,559,765 | ||||
Cost of sales | (10,817,435) | 96.8% | (8,233,711) | 96.2% | ||
Gross profit | 362,065 | 3.2% | 326,054 | 3.8% |
Increase in Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased proportionally from 96.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 96.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2011. A large part of the increase in the cost of sales is directly attributable to the increase in the fuel surcharge by the airlines. This surcharge is dependent upon the price of jet fuel, which is affected by the price of oil. During the third quarter of 2011, the fuel surcharge increased an average 35% compared to the third quarter of 2010. We in turn passed this surcharge on to our clients.
Decrease in gross profit margin
The decrease in our gross profit margin rate from 3.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2010, to 3.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 is a direct result of the increase in cost of sales. The fuel surcharges lead to an increase in air ticket prices, however, the gross profit per ticket stayed the same, consequently our gross profit margin rate decreased.

Operating Expenses
Overview
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $305,465 or 2.7% of revenues, while the operating expenses for three months ended September 30, 2010 were $312,731 or 3.7% of revenues. Our operating expenses decreased slightly regardless of the high inflation rate in Hong Kong. We attribute this to our cost reduction strategy previously discussed. The table below sets forth the main category of our expenses both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of our total revenues for the periods indicated.
Three months ended September 30, 2011 | % of Revenue | Three months ended September 30, 2010 | % of Revenue | |
Salaries, commission, allowance | $208,502 | 1.9% | $214,109 | 2.5% |
Legal & Professional fees | 5,968 | 0.1% | 9,846 | 0.1% |

$305,465 | 2.7% | $312,731 | 3.7% |
Salaries, Commissions and Allowances
Salaries, Commissions and Allowances have decreased from $214,109 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $208,502 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We have reduced expenses in this category by flattening our organizational structure, by cutting senior management staff, by reducing staff redundancy, and by decentralizing our operations. Meanwhile, support and administration staff has also been cut to reduce back office costs.
Legal and Professional Fees
Legal and professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $5,968 or 0.1% of revenues, while the legal and professional fees for three months ended September 30, 2010 were $9,846 or 0.1% of revenues. Legal and professional fees in the third quarter in 2011 were lower compared to the third quarter in 2010, mainly due to the necessity of responding to certain SEC comments during the third quarter of 2010.
We are expecting higher fourth quarter legal fees in 2011 compared to fourth quarter 2010 as a result of recent SEC comments, to which we are responding.
Office Rental
Office rental for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $24,148 or 0.2% of revenues, while the Office rental for three months ended September 30, 2010 were $24,218 or 0.3% of revenues. Office rental expenses in the current period were consistent with the same period last year.
Other General and Administration Expenses
Other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $66,847 or 0.5% of revenues, while the other expenses for three months ended September 30, 2010 were $64,558 or 0.8% of revenues. The expenses in the current period were consistent to the same period last year.

Exchange Gain
The exchange gain was $136 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $740 in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This was attributable to the fluctuating exchange rate of the Hong Kong Dollar against foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar, RMB and the Thai Baht for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.
Interest Income
This interest was earned from bank savings and fixed deposit accounts. Interest income was $8 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The lower interest is a result of low bank interest rates prevailing for the past few years since the 2008 financial crisis.
Net Income
Our net income was $53,050 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net income of $1,457 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year was mainly due to the improvement in the global economy in the period as well as our strict implementation of our cost reduction initiative.

Revenues
Revenues Composition and Sources of Revenue Growth
We have experienced revenue growth in the past 12 months. Our total revenues grew from USD 22.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to USD 29.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a grow rate of 33.9%.

Retail and Corporate Revenue
As discussed above, retail and corporate revenue is our main source of revenue growth. Retail and corporate revenue grew from $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $29.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represents a growth rate of 33.9%. We attribute the growth mainly to the stable global economic recovery during this period compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We see an increase of transaction volume in terms of an increase in the number of travelers in both retail and corporate travel classes.
Referral fees for travel booking services
We receive referral fees from travel product providers for booking travel services. The itinerary and product price are generally fixed by the travel product providers and we book the travel services on behalf of the customers. Referral fees from travel booking services are recognized as commissions after the services are rendered and collections are reasonably assured. We present revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations because we act as an agent. In that case, we do not assume any inventory and credit risks, we have no obligations for cancelled airline or hotel ticket reservations, and we do not have discretion in determining the service prices.
Incentive commission from travel suppliers
We also earn an incentive commission from many travel product suppliers. Contracts with certain travel suppliers contain discretionary escalating commissions that are paid to us, subject to meeting specific performance targets. Such discretionary escalating commissions are recognized on an accrual basis, because such commissions are usually paid in arrears and we can reasonably estimate the amount of commissions earned. Our statement of operations presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis, because we act as an agent, we do not assume any inventory risk, and we have no obligation for cancelled airline tickets.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
Costs of sales are costs directly attributable to creating our revenues, which consist primarily of payments for travel costs to airlines and suppliers. Cost of sales accounted for 96.4% of our revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 95.5% of our revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The table below sets forth the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the periods indicated.

Increase in Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales increased from 95.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 96.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. A large part of the increase in the cost of sales is directly related to the increase in the fuel surcharges by the airlines. This surcharge is dependent upon the price of jet fuel, which is affected by the price of oil. In 2011 the fuel surcharge increased approximately 30%. We in turn pass this surcharge on to our clients.
Decrease in gross profit margin
Our gross profit margin decreased from 4.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 3.6% in the nine months ended September 20, 2011. The fuel surcharges led to an increase in air ticket prices, however, the gross profit per ticket remained relatively stable, consequently the gross profit margin rate decreased.
Fuel surcharges are announced at the end of each month. In our experience however, we find that the prices tend to be sticky on the upside, as the airlines try to protect themselves from the volatile price swings that the commodities markets have experienced. We anticipate these fuel surcharges will remain high for the time being, with the airlines preferring to offer discounts as a way to incentivize consumers to travel, rather than decreasing the surcharge.
Operating Expenses
Overview
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $942,864 or 3.2% of revenues, while the operating expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $926,113 or 4.1% of revenues. Our operating expenses decreased slightly regardless of the high inflation in Hong Kong. This is mainly attributed to our cost reduction strategy we started implementing in 2007.
The table below sets forth the main category of our expenses both in dollar amounts and as a percentage of total revenue for the periods indicated.
Nine months ended September 30, 2011 | % of Revenue | Nine months ended September 30, 2010 | % of Revenue | |
Salaries, commission, allowance | $658,139 | 2.2% | $650,066 | 2.9% |
Legal & Professional fees | 17,724 | 0.1% | 29,468 | 0.1% |
Office Rental | 72,499 | 0.2% | 72,638 | 0.4% |
Other operating expenses | 194,502 | 0.7% | 173,941 | 0.7% |
$942,864 | 3.2% | $926,113 | 4.1% |
Salaries, Commissions and Allowances
Salaries, Commissions and Allowances have increased slightly from $658,139 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $650,066 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This is primarily the result of an increase in salaries in line with the general inflation rate in Hong Kong.
Legal and Professional Fees
Legal and professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $17,724 or 0.1% of revenues, while the legal and professional fees for nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $29,468 or 0.1% of revenues. Legal and professional fees in the third quarter in 2011 were lower compared to the third quarter in 2010, mainly due to the necessity of responding to certain SEC staff comments in the third quarter of 2010.
We are also expecting higher fourth quarter legal fees in 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010 as a result of our response to recent SEC comments during that quarter.

Office Rental
Office rental for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $72,499 or 0.2% of revenues, while the Office rental for nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $72,638 or 0.4% of revenues. Office rental expenses in the current period were consistent with the same period last year.
Other General and Administration Expenses
Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $194,502 or 0.7% of revenues, while the other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $173,941 or 0.7% of revenues. The expenses in the current period were consistent with the same period last year.

Commission Income
Commission income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1,168 compared to zero for nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we increased the number of tickets booked through a lower percentage commission booking system, which resulted in a lower amount of commissions.
We receive commission income from the Global Distribution Systems Supplier (GDS), which is the booking system that links airlines, IATA and travel agencies. GDS acts as an information medium between the airlines and travel agencies. Travel consultants check seat availability and fare conditions, and make reservations through GDS. GDS also links airline and travel agencies through IATAs Bill and Settling Plans (BSP). Once the ticket is issued from IATA through the GDS system, travel agencies will settle the payment with airlines through IATAs fortnightly BSP Payment.
Each GDS system has a different layout, and different user manual and command. Airlines can choose to link with one or a few GDS. We currently have four (4) GDSs installed. They are Amadeus, Worldspan, Travelsky and Abacus. A GDS will normally provide equipment and install their system onsite for a travel agency. The travel agency must generally sign an agreement with each GDS supplier which details the usage and reward scheme. Some GDS suppliers require travel agencies to maintain a minimum usage volume, otherwise the travel agency will have to pay fees for the equipment. GDS suppliers also encourage travel agencies to book tickets through their system by rewarding travel agencies on the number of tickets booked in a certain period of time.
We encourage our consultants to use the GDS that has the best compensation structure, however, a balance between operational efficiency is also considered. Some airlines are more user friendly with a specific GDS, also with each travel consultancys experience with different systems. We leave it to the consultants discretion to choose the GDS they use.
Management Service Income
Management service income represents compensation from a related party, Bao Shinn Express Company Limited (BSEL). BSEL currently holds 38.55% of our outstanding common stock. We have provided management services to BSEL on business operations and general travel industry knowledge. Management service income from BSEL was $26,919 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $25,659 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
We recognize the management service as other operating income due to the fact that our management team is part of BSELs operation team. Accordingly, the revenue generated by the management team is considered part of our operations.
-33-
Exchange Gain
The exchange loss was $43 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $461 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This was attributable to a more stable rate of the Hong Kong Dollar against foreign currencies, including the U.S. Dollar, RMB and the Thai Baht for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
We pay overseas suppliers in their currency, and charge our customers in HK dollars, with the exchange rate determined at the point of invoicing. Because of the timing difference between payments and receipts, we incur exchange differences in transactions with overseas suppliers. We recognize the gain or loss as non-operational income or expense, as this is not from operations.
Interest Income
Interest income was $18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $16 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This reflected a very low bank interest rate which prevailed for the past few years, since the 2008 financial crisis.
Net Income
Our net income was $134,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to a net income of $45,573 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year was mainly due to the improvement in the global economy as well as our strict implementation of our cost reduction initiative.

Operating Activities Going Concern
We had a net income of $134,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and a net loss since inception of $1,167,418. On December 31, 2010 we had cash on hand of $547,485. The accumulative loss has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These doubts were outlined in our independent auditors report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in our annual report on Form 10-K/A. Although our consolidated financial statements raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, they did not include any adjustments relating to recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue as a going concern. Certain of our shareholders have verbally agreed to provide continuing financial support to us for future losses we may incur.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $416,010 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3,505 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in our use of cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is mainly due to increased working capital needed to support our increased revenues as compared to the same period in 2010.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $9,022 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $3,230 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The cash used in investing activities is mainly for office equipment and computer hardware.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no external financing activities. From time to time, the related parties of the Company finance the working capital we need for operations on a temporary basis. This financing is in the form of temporary loans to the Company.
Net cash provided by related party loans was $124,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This helped bridge the working capital gap created as a result of higher sales revenue, compared to $28,163 net cash provided by related party loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
The amounts due to related parties are interest-bearing at the rate of 5.5% (2010: 5.5%) per annum, unsecured and have no fixed repayment terms.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation these officers have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were adequate to insure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commissions rules and forms. It is also important to point out that all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statements preparation and presentation.
(b)
Changes in internal controls.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that would significantly affect such controls and procedures subsequent to the date we completed our evaluation. Therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
