Translation Adjustment
 
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the accounts of Universal Travel Group were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 830”) with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 220”). Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, accounts receivable and notes receivables, stock based compensation, valuations of warrant derivative liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets impairments tests, and deferred taxes. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in this estimates and assumptions.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences maybe material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions made by management include among others, allowance for doubtful accounts, long-lived asset impairment, useful lives and residual values of fixed assets, stock based compensation, valuation of warrant derivative liability, purchase price allocation of fair market value of assets and liabilities acquired and deferred income taxes. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Travel Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprises Limited, Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd., Xian Golden Net Travel Serve Services, Ltd., Foshan Overseas International Travel Service Co. Ltd., Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Universal Travel  Agency Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianyuan Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Huangshan Holiday Travel Service Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yulongkang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., Kunming Business Travel Service Co., Ltd., Shanxi Jinyang Travel Agency Co., Ltd., and Full Power Enterprise Global Limited collectively referred to herein as the Company.  On June 12, 2009 the Company entered into a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Limited. Accordingly, the Company has accounted for Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Limited as a discontinued operation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operating results and balance sheet items of the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. Prior year’s amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year’s presentation of the discontinued operations.  All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Company's operation is located in the PRC. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue the operation and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company's operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management's control. These contingencies include general economic conditions, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations. Among other risks, the Company's operations will be subject to risk of restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.
 
Contingencies
 
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued. These conditions may result in a future loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
 
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable given the current economic environment that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents consisted primarily of prime institutional money market funds with no maturities limit as well as bank account balances. Given the current economic environment and the financial conditions of the banking industry there is risk that deposits may not be readily available or covered by such insurance, The Company has had no loss on excess cash in domestic or foreign banks in past years. As of September 30, 2010, cash on hand and cash in bank are $241,059 and $56,423,254, respectively.

However, the depreciation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included those of disposed furniture and equipment on September 9, 2010.
 
Sales of equipment
 
On September 9, 2010, our subsidiary, Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co. sold all of its 1,523 TRIPEASY kiosks to Shenzhen Xunbao E-Commerce Co., Ltd. for a total proceed of $5,698,488.  The original cost of the 1,523 TRIPEASY Kiosk was $6,650,592, excluding the accumulative depreciation of $1,017,957, resulting in a gain of $65,853.
 
On September 10, 2010, Shenzhen Xunbao E-Commerce Co. paid the amount of $1,492,961 to YZL as the first payment. The second payment amount of $2,239,441 and the remaining amount are due within 30 and 90 days of the closing date, respectively. As of September 30, 2009, the balance due from Shenzhen Xunbao was $4,523,883 and recorded in note receivable in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2010.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired.  In accordance with the Intangibles, Goodwill and other topic of the FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 350”), indefinite-life identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are not amortized. Under the provisions of ASC 350, we are required to perform an annual impairment test of our goodwill. Goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process.  The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit, which we define as our business segments, with its net book value or carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.  The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit including any unrecognized intangible assets as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase  price paid to acquire the reporting unit. Impairment evaluations involve management's estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial positions. Fair value is determined through various techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC 360”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.  The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC 360. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets. However, there can be no assurances that demand for the Company's services will continue, which could result in an impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
 
Derivative Liability
 
The Company issued warrants in connection with the “Securities Purchase Agreement” dated August 28, 2008 with certain reset exercise price provisions.  If the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock after the August 28, 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement or Financing for an amount less than the original exercise price per share, the exercise price of the warrants is reduced to equal the new issuance price of those shares.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Derivative Liability (Continued)
 
Upon the Company’s adoption of the Derivative and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 815”) on January 1, 2009, the Company determined that the warrants did not qualify for a scope exception under ASC 815 as they were determined to not be indexed to the Company’s stock as prescribed by ASC 815.  On January 1, 2009, the warrants, under ASC 815, were reclassified from equity to derivative liability at its fair market value of $2,091,738 and marked to market.  The values of the warrants were decreased by $536,777 from the warrants issuance date to the adoption date of ASC 815 on January 1, 2009.  As of January 1, 2009, the cumulative effect in adopting ASC 815 was a reduction to additional paid in capital of $2,091,738 to reclassify the warrants from equity to derivative liability and an increase in retained earnings of $536,777 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle to reflect the change in the value of the warrants between their issuance date and January 1, 2009.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivative liability of $304,177 and $1,253,181, respectively, to mark to market for the increase in fair value of the warrants during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.   Under ASC 815, the warrants will be carried at fair value and adjusted at each reporting period.
 
The Company determined the fair value of the reset provisions at January 1, 2009 was $1,470,199 as the initial fair value at the adoption date of EITF No. 07-05.  The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions:  dividend yield: 0%; volatility:129%, risk free rate: 1.72%, expected term: 4.65 years.
 
The Company determined the fair value of the reset provisions at September 30, 2010 was $562,139. The fair value was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: dividend yield: -0-%; volatility: 112%, risk free rate: 1.27%, expected term: 2.91years.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 820 that requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, and accounts payable approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, or are based on quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates except for related party debt or receivables for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
Effective January 1, 2009, the FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. The FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are considered when determining the fair value of the Company’s derivative liability. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

UNIVERSAL TRAVEL GROUP
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
 
· Level 1 – observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
· Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.).
· Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
 
The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC Topic 825 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
 
The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605” and SAB 104). Revenue is recognized at the date the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
The Company had four types of revenue stream from its four lines of businesses, namely (i) air-ticketing (Shenzhen Yuzhilu Aviation Service Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Universal Travel E-Commerce Co., Ltd.), (ii) hotel reservations (Shanghai Lanbao Travel Service Co., Ltd.), (iii) packaged tours (Foshan International Travel Service Co., Ltd., Xian Golden Net Travel Serve Services Co, Ltd. and Shenzhen Universal Travel Agency Co., Ltd.) and (iv) air cargo agency services (Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprises Ltd.).  On June 12, 2009, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Ltd. Accordingly the Company has accounted for Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Ltd, its air cargo agency services as a discontinued operation (see Note 2 Discontinued Operations).  Effective June 12, 2009, the Company has three types of revenue stream from its current three lines of businesses.
 
Air-ticketing services
 
The Company receives commissions from travel suppliers for air-ticketing services through its transaction and service platform under various services agreements. The Company does not charge customers differently from the prices provided by travel suppliers.  The Company has no discretion on the air ticket prices or the applicable commission rates as they are dictated by the travel suppliers. Commissions from air-ticketing services rendered are recognized after air tickets are issued. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the statements of income as the Company, generally, does not assume inventory risks and has no obligations for cancelled airline ticket reservations.

Hotel reservation services
 
The Company receives commissions from travel suppliers for hotel room reservations through its transaction and service platform. The Company does not charge customers differently from the prices provided by hotel suppliers.  The Company has no discretion on the hotel room prices or the applicable commission rates as they are dictated by the hotel suppliers.  Commissions from hotel reservation services rendered are recognized after hotel customers have completed their stay at the applicable hotel and upon confirmation of pending payment of the commissions by the hotel. The Company presents revenues from such transactions on a net basis in the statements of income as the Company, generally, does not assume inventory risks and has no obligations for cancelled hotel reservations.
 
Packaged-tour
 
The Company receives fees from providing domestic and cross-border travel tour services.  The Company contracts with traffic service providers, accommodation providers and leisure service providers to purchase air tickets, train and coach tickets, accommodation and leisure or entertainment packages in bulk and then resell them to its customers with a mark-up.  Fees generated from packaged-tours are recognized on a gross basis in the statements of income, when the tour is completed, as the Company, generally, undertakes the majority of the business risk.  The Company is the primary obligor to pay the service providers upon rendering of those services.  In addition, the Company acts as principal related to the packaged-tour services rendered.  Generally, the Company does not issue refunds to its customers unless cancellation is due to its and or the service provider’s non-delivery of services. Historically, refunds and cancellations do not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in any accounting period.
 
Air Cargo Business
 
The Company received fees from its air cargo business. However, this business segment had been accounted for as a discontinued operation upon consummation of a termination agreement with Shenzhen Speedy Dragon Enterprise Ltd dated June 12, 2009.  The Company basically brokered air cargo spaces and resold them to local logistic companies to generate revenue.  The Company had contracted with Chinese domestic airlines as its vendors to carry out its cargo services.  Revenues generated from air cargo business were recognized on a gross basis in the statements of income, when the service was rendered, as the Company, generally, undertook the majority of the business risk.  The Company was the primary obligor to pay the service providers upon rendering of those services.  In addition, the Company acted as principal related to the air cargo services rendered.  Customers were charged based on the class and weight of goods shipped.
 
Historically, the Company has experienced minimum and or immaterial returns and or cancellation from its lines of businesses, which amount if any, would have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  Accordingly, no allowance has been provided for in the periods presented.

Cost of Services
 
Costs of services for air tickets cover mainly business and revenue related taxes.  Costs of services for hotel reservations cover mainly business and revenue related taxes, as well as commissions paid to the sales agents for selling hotel rooms in the Company’s system, no any accrued commission split to sales agents due to the same day transaction. Costs of services for the cargo agency business mainly included the costs of warehousing and delivery charges.  Costs of services for packaged tours include meals, transportation (airline tickets, train tickets and car rental), lodging, airport transfers, tickets to local attractions and tours. However
 
Other direct costs such as systems and related technologies used by each segment operations, and costs associated with payment processing are also included in the Company’s Costs of Services. In addition, the Company allocates costs of labor and facilities, depreciation, communications, and utility expenses incurred by each segment between costs of services and general administrative expenses.  The percentage, ranging from 50% to 80%, allocated to costs of sales is based on management estimate, and the percentage allocated is estimated to be directly associated with the generation of revenues.
 
Consolidated costs such as stock-based compensation and corporate professional fees are not allocated to any segment. These costs are reported as general operating expenses in the Company’s Statements of Operations. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, such expenses amounted $344,112 and $787,666, respectively. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, such expenses amounted $1,021,116and $1,625,068, respectively.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred.
 
 Income Taxes
 
The Company utilizes FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
Statement of Cash Flows
 
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Statement of Cash flows (“ASC 230”), cash flows from the Company’s operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Intangibles
 
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. Evaluation of the recoverability of intangible assets is made annually to take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of map of hotels and scenic spots used for marketing purposes, CRM systems software, accounting software. These definitive lived intangible assets are being amortized over their useful lives. Expenditures of $51,359 and $187,810 were capitalized for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and will be amortized over a 5 year life.  In conjunction the acquisitions during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, the Company capitalized $3,236,376 of Identifiable Intangible Assets, which are being amortized over 5 years. The Company recorded amortization expenses for definitive lived intangible assets of $23,687 and $42,322 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, $69,248 and $97,894 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and amortization expenses for Identifiable Intangible Assets of $161,819 and $422,755 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company will record approximately $742,024, $742,024, $742,024, $680,496, and $228,404 over the next five years, respectively.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base, most of which are in China. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company accounts for net income (loss) per share EPS in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic on Earning Per Share (“ASC 260”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of income for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS.  Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.  It excludes the dilutive effects of potentially issuable common shares such as those related to the Company’s warrants and stock options (calculated using the treasury stock method).  Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by including potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator.

Stock Based Compensation
 
For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505,“Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” we perform an analysis of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
Share-based compensation costs that have been included in operating expenses amounted to $313,842 and $306,432 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $990,846 and $802,157 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Related parties
 
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which amends ASC Topic 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and 2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 (the Company’s fiscal year 2012); early adoption is permitted.  There was no material impact upon the adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
