Annual Report
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A. This Form 10-K/A, including the following discussion, contains trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements in this Form 10-K/A that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth elsewhere in the Original 10-K, including under "Risk Factors."
Restatement
The purpose of this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A ("Form 10-K/A") is to restate our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 ("fiscal 2008"), which are included in our Original 10-K. Management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors concluded that the Company's 2008 financial statements should be restated due to an error relating to the accounting for its disposition of Phoenix International Publishing LLC ("Phoenix") in March 2008, in connection with its response to a comment letter received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2008. Our management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors decided to change the accounting treatment for the disposition of Phoenix in our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2008 so that the methodology utilized in determining the fair value of the Company's common stock at disposition was consistent with the methodology utilized in determining the fair value of the Company's common stock at the time of Phoenix's acquisition by the Company. In addition, we are revising our presentation and accounting treatment of convertible notes issued in conjunction with previous acquisitions to eliminate the value ascribed to the conversion feature of the notes. See Note 3, Restatement and Revisions contained in Note 8 - Financial Statements for further information relating to the Restatement. These changes have been incorporated into Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations below.
Overview
We are focused on internally growing and developing our group of diversified vacation marketing companies with a range of products that can be cross-sold to an extensive customer base and providing a high degree of personalized service to help consumers research, plan and purchase a vacation.
We provide vacation marketing services through eight wholly owned subsidiaries. Our portfolio of travel companies includes:
· Online Vacation Center, a full service vacation seller focused on serving the affluent retiree market. Historically, this subsidiary has been the core business, accounting for the majority of revenue and net income through the sale of high margin cruise packages. This business is now integrated with our other travel companies, Curves Travel, the licensed travel management company of Curves International, Inc., La Fern, Inc., operating as eLeisureLink.com and focusing on land-based vacations, and Cruises for Less, our home-based selling group,
· Dunhill Vacations, the publisher of three travel newsletters, "Top Travel Values", "Spotlight", and "TRAVELFLASH", and
· La Tours and Cruises, Inc. and Thoroughbred Travel, LLC, our Houston travel agencies operating as "West University Travel / Journeys Unlimited", focused on providing luxury personal travel products such as cruises, European tours and all-inclusive vacations.
We generate revenues from:
· commissions on cruises
· commissions on other travel related products
· commissions on travel insurance
· advertising and marketing services provided to travel suppliers
We currently market our services by:
· producing travel-related publications for consumers
· telemarketing to our existing customer base
· direct mailing to our existing customer base as well as targeted prospects
· email blasting to our opt in subscription base
Operating expenses include those items necessary to advertise our services, produce our marketing materials, maintain and staff our travel reservation and fulfillment center including technological enhancements, payroll, commissions and benefits, telephone, ticket delivery and general and administrative expenses including rent and computer maintenance fees.
In November 2007, our Board of Directors granted us the authority to sell Phoenix International Publishing, LLC ("Phoenix"), a publisher of consumer magazines and guides about travel to the U.S. and Canada. We acquired Phoenix from Simon Todd ("Mr. Todd"), its owner, sole member and President on August 31, 2006 in exchange for 1,450,000 shares of our common stock. On March 31, 2008, we completed the sale of Phoenix to Mr. Todd, pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement ("Acquisition Agreement"), dated March 31, 2008, by and among the Company, Phoenix, and Mr. Todd. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, we received 1,250,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Todd at closing. Upon execution of the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Todd resigned as Vice President of the Company.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2007
Continuing Operations
Revenues increased by $467,952 or 5.0% to $9,792,338 for the year ended December 31, 2008 ("2008") compared with $9,324,386 for the year ended December 31, 2007 ("2007'). The increase is attributable to an increase in our publishing business.
Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $664,801 or 18.1% to $3,016,036 for 2008 compared with $3,680,837 for 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decreased sales staff and marketing material expenses. Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of sales staff compensation and costs to produce marketing materials.
G&A expenses increased by $46,488 or 0.9% to $5,172,967 for 2008 compared with $5,126,479 for 2007. The increase is attributable to the increased G&A expenses associated with the publishing business offset by an across the board decrease in all other G&A expenses. G&A expenses primarily include management and non sales staff compensation, professional services, and occupancy costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $148,059 to $411,025 for 2008 compared with $262,966 for 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the amortization expense of the Dunhill subscriber list.
Net interest expense increased by $8,901 to $24,355 in 2008 compared with $15,454 in 2007. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in interest income earned in 2008 on invested cash balances resulting from a general decline in interest rates in 2008 due to market conditions.
Our income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes was $1,167,955 in 2008 compared with $238,650 in 2007. The increase is due to an increase in publishing revenues and a reduction in selling and marketing expenses during this time period.
Our provision for income taxes increased from $133,411 in 2007 to $553,777 in 2008. The increase is directly related to an increase in our results from operations in which income from continuing operations before income taxes was $1,167,955 in 2008 compared with $238,650 in 2007. Our tax rate in 2008 was 47.4% primarily because of the tax effect of the stock based compensation expense associated with incentive stock options which is deductible for book but not for tax purposes. Our tax rate in 2007 was 55.9%, primarily because of the tax effect of the stock based compensation expense associated with incentive stock options and imputed interest expense associated with acquisition debt which are deductible for book but not for tax purposes.
As a result of the foregoing, our income from continuing operations was $614,178 in 2008 compared with $105,239 in 2007.
Discontinued operations
We acquired Phoenix, a United Kingdom publisher of consumer magazines and guides about travel to the U.S. and Canada, on August 31, 2006 for 1,450,000 shares of our common stock. In November 2007, the Company's Board of Directors granted the Company the authority to sell Phoenix. On March 31, 2008, we sold Phoenix to Mr. Todd, the former owner of Phoenix, in
exchange for 1,250,000 shares of our common stock which were owned by Mr. Todd. We recorded the sale of Phoenix at its fair value, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, resulting in a loss of $739,632. For tax purposes, the transaction was treated as a split-off with no resulting tax consequences. We retired the 1,250,000 shares of our common stock received from Mr. Todd in the sale transaction as of March 31, 2008.
The results of operations and cash flows of Phoenix has been removed from the results of continuing operations and the assets and liabilities of Phoenix have been classified as available for sale, as of December 31, 2007. The comparison of the results of operations of Phoenix between the first quarter of 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, is as follows:
Three Months Ended Year Ended Increase/
March 31, December 31, (Decrease)
2008 2007
(Restated)
Revenues $ 107,569 $ 1,681,083 $ 1,573,514

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $186,346 in 2008 compared with a net loss of $42,620 in 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,693,447 and $1,189,842 respectively. The primary source of our liquidity and capital resources has historically come from our operations.
Cash flows provided by operating activities was $1,235,297 in 2008 whereas cash flows used in operating activities was $47,094 in 2007. The increase of $1,282,391 in 2008 was attributable to a decrease in cash used for working capital of $253,712, an increase of income from continuing operations of $508,939, and an increase in cash provided by non-cash operating items of $519,740.
Cash flows used in investing activities in 2008 and 2007 were $282,788 and $1,333,720, respectively. The decrease of $1,050,932 was primarily attributable to a decrease of the excess of cash paid over cash received totaling $1,116,713 in conjunction with the Company's four acquisitions completed during 2007, an increase in capital expenditures and intangible assets totaling $287,067 and a decrease in restricted cash of $303,352 during 2008.
Cash flows used in financing activities in 2008 and 2007 were $458,406 and $125,000, respectively. The 2008 activities were comprised of the repayment of debt issued in conjunction with the La Fern, Inc. and La Tours and Cruises Inc. acquisitions, the Company's stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in August 2008 and the payment under a capital lease obligation for new telephone equipment. The 2007 financing activity was the repayment of a note issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Thoroughbred Travel LLC.
Cash flows provided by discontinued operations increased by $10,302 as a result of an increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2008.
At December 31, 2008, we had working capital of $538,404, as compared with a working capital deficit of $847,857 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $1,386,261. We had an accumulated deficit of $1,586,493 at December 31, 2008, an increase of $186,346.
Management believes that the existing cash and cash expected to be provided by operating activities will be sufficient to fund the short term capital and liquidity needs of our operations. We may need to seek to sell equity or debt securities or obtain credit lines from financial institutions to meet our longer-term liquidity and capital requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital or financing in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all or on a timely basis.
The Company has historically been heavily dependent on relationships with five major cruise lines: Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Azamara Cruises and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and also depends on third party service providers for processing certain fulfillment services.
Seasonality and Inflation
The domestic and international leisure travel industry is seasonal. Our results have been subject to quarterly fluctuations caused primarily by the seasonal variations in the travel industry.
Leisure travel net revenues and net income are generally lower in the third quarter. We expect seasonality to continue in the future. We do not expect inflation to materially affect our revenues and net income.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109," effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. Adoption of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. At the date of adoption and as of December 31, 2007, we do not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Our policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2007, we have not accrued nor recognized interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We have not recorded any significant increase or decrease to unrecognized tax benefits during 2007 related to U.S. federal or state tax positions.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. We have not been subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities nor state authorities since our inception in 2000. We believe that we have not taken any uncertain tax positions that would impact our condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and their effect, if any, on the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the disclosure of contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be materially different from those estimates. The following policies are those that we consider to be the most critical. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," for further description of these and all other accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", which states that revenue is
realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the
seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. Vacation travel sales transactions are billed to customers
at the time of booking, however commission revenue is not recognized in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements until the customers' travel
occurs. Advertising revenue is recognized upon distribution of the marketing
publication.
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent", discusses the weighing of the relevant qualitative factors regarding our status as a primary obligor and the extent of our pricing latitude. Based upon the our evaluation of vacation travel sales transactions and in accordance with the various indicators identified in EITF Issue No. 99-19, our vacation travel suppliers assume the majority of the business risks such as providing the service and the risk of unsold travel packages. As such, all vacation travel sales transactions are to be recorded at the net amount, which is the amount charged to the customer less the amount to be paid to the supplier. The method of net revenue presentation does not impact operating profit, net income, earnings per share or cash flows.
Intangible Asset Testing
Absent any circumstances that warrant testing at another time, we test for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible asset impairment as part of our year-end closing process. Our goodwill testing consists of comparing the estimated fair values of each of our operating entities to their carrying amounts, including recorded goodwill. We estimate the fair values of our reporting unit by discounting its projected future cash flows. Developing these future cash flow projections requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates regarding the sales, gross margin and operating expenses of our reporting unit, as well as economic conditions and the impact of planned business or operational strategies. Should future results or economic events cause a change in our projected cash flows, or should our operating plans or business model change, future determinations of fair value may not support the carrying amount of our reporting units and the related goodwill would need to be written down to an amount considered recoverable. Any such write down would be included in the operating expenses. While we make reasoned estimates of future performance, actual results below these expectations, or changes in business direction can result in additional impairment charges in future periods.
