"Universal Travel Group had a strong third quarter with steady growth in all three business segments," said Ms. Jiangping Jiang, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer.

Our second home base in Chongqing also started generating revenue this quarter."

Third Quarter 2009 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was $29.8 million compared to $20.0 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of approximately 48.6%. The increase in revenue was due to the Company's business expansion efforts, along with the strong demand for travel in China, which was helped by the government stimulus package. The Company continues to achieve success in cross selling related travel products and has increased brand awareness from online sales and the deployment of its TRIPEASY Kiosks.

Revenue from air-ticketing was $4.9 million, compared to $3.9 million for the same period last year, an increase of 25.5%. This increase was mainly due to increased domestic demand for airline travel. The Company witnessed strong increases in demand from leisure travelers, but only a modest increase from business travelers during the third quarter of 2009. The Company believes that this difference in demand is attributable to China's consumer-focused stimulus measures versus the more sluggish recovery in the business sector.

Revenue generated by the Company's hotel reservation segment was $3.8 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 50.8%. This increase was due to strong demand for travel in the quarter as well as the Company's successful cross marketing of its various business segments.

Revenue generated by package tours was $21.1 million compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 54.7%. This increase was primarily due to the government's stimulus package, cross marketing across the Company's various business segments and a longer public holiday period during the PRC Golden Week of 2009, which included both the National Celebration Holidays and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Normally the Golden Week includes only the National Celebration Holidays.

Gross profit was $10.0 million compared to $7.1 million for three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 40.5%. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2009 was 33.6% compared to 35.5% for the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit margin was mostly due to the changes of components of revenues. Revenues generated from package tours, which have a lower profit margin, grew at a much higher rate in the third quarter than revenues generated from air ticketing and hotel reservations.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses totaled $2.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the same period last year, an increase of 66.5%. The SG&A expenses were 8.6% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to 7.7% for the same period last year. The slight increase in percentage was mainly due to the issuance of stock-based compensation in January 2009 and the amortization of such stock-based compensation; whereas, the stock-based compensation is less significant during the same period last year.

Income from operations increased 33.3% to $7.4 million from $5.6 million in the same period last year. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation in the third quarter of $306,432. Excluding this non-cash charge, the Company's adjusted income from operations would be $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 38.8% from the same period last year. Adjusted operating margin was 26.0%.(*)

Net income from continuing operations was $4.7 million compared to $4.3 million for the same period last year. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $0.85 million and stock-based compensation in the third quarter of $0.31 million. Excluding these non-cash charges, the Company's adjusted net income from continuing operations would be $5.9 million, or $0.38 per fully diluted share, an increase of 35.5% from $4.3 million, or $0.35 per fully diluted share, in the third quarter of 2008.(*)

Nine Month Results

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was $63.7 million compared to $38.8 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 64.2%. Revenue from air-ticketing was $10.9 million compared to $7.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of 50.6%. Revenue generated by the hotel reservation segment was $9.1 million compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 98.5%. Revenue generated by package tours was $43.7 million compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 60.2%.

Gross profit was $22.3 million compared to $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 71.7%.

SG&A expenses totaled $5.7 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period last year, an increase of 82.8%. SG&A expenses were 8.9% of revenue compared to 8.0% for the same period last year.

Income from operations increased 68.3% to $16.6 million from $9.9 million in the first nine months of 2008. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation in the first nine months of $802,157 compared to $155,802 in the year earlier period.

Excluding this non-cash charge, the Company's adjusted income from operations would be $17.4 million for the first nine months of 2009, an increase of 73.6% from the same period last year. Adjusted operating margin was 27.4%.(*)

Net income from continuing operations was $6.1 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period last year. The Company incurred non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $6.55 million and stock-based compensation of $0.8 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Excluding these non-cash charges, adjusted net income from continuing operations would be $13.5 million, or $0.90 per fully diluted share, an increase of 73.8% from $7.7 million, or $0.63 per fully diluted share, in the first nine months of 2008.(*)

    Recent Developments
    -- Together with the recent business expansion and establishment of its
       second home base in Chongqing, Universal Travel Group has expanded
       operations at its Shenzhen headquarters and moved to a new office
       building on October 4, 2009.

       expansion strategy.

       additional 100 TRIPEASY Kiosks equipped with China Telecom's 3G
       services.
    -- Entered into a number of strategic partnerships with regional travel
       agencies in tier-two cities, many of which are premier travel
       destinations with rich tourism resources and under-penetrated local
       travel markets. Under these agreements, Universal Travel Group is able
       to expand its position in the package tour segment, improve the
       standard of service offered to its customers, expand its customer base
       in fast-growing cities, and enjoy attractive pricing.

Business Outlook

The Company's business in the Pearl River Delta region continues to grow and its expansion into the Chongqing Delta region is on track. The Company has formed partnerships with 50 travel agencies in Chongqing to expand its regional coverage and market share and to support its core package tours, air ticketing and hotel reservation businesses. It has also placed 30 of its TRIPEASY Kiosks throughout Chongqing in apartment and residential communities to support its retail effort and marketing strategy. The Company's call center in Chongqing has quickly ramped up and is operating at full capacity to accommodate the high demand from callers. The Company also formed a strategic partnership with China Telecom to upgrade Universal Travel Group's TRIPEASY Kiosks by enabling them with a 3G Internet connection. The faster connection will increase efficiency and effective transaction execution which should boost customer satisfaction, increase the total number of transactions each kiosk can accommodate and provide opportunities for additional service offerings.

Ms. Jiang concluded, "We remain optimistic about our business prospects due to the continuing positive trends in the travel and leisure industry in China, as well as our growing online service platform and comprehensive marketing strategies. We look forward to a strong fourth quarter and 2010 as we gain momentum and brand awareness with our kiosks strategy and further establish our presence in western China with our second home base in Chongqing."

Fiscal Year 2009 Guidance

For the full year 2009, Universal Travel Group expects sales to increase from $76.8 million in 2008 to between $88.0 - $96.0 million. The guidance originally included the expected revenues from air cargo business, which was $10.9 million in 2008. The Company spun off its air cargo business in June, 2009 to focus on its travel-related businesses. Essentially, the guidance is raised for the rest of the business segments post spin-off.

The Company also expects net income to rise from $14.5 million in 2008 to $18.0 million, and earnings per diluted share to $1.20 in 2009. The updated net income and EPS estimates exclude non-cash charges related to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and the stock-based compensation.
