Business Wire
Dutton Associates updates its coverage of Pro Travel Network
(OTCBB:PTVL) maintaining a Speculative Buy rating and a price
target of $2.00. The report by Dutton senior analyst Richard West,
CFA is available at www.jmdutton.com as well as from First Call,
Bloomberg, Zacks, Knobias, Reuters, and other leading financial
portals. Pro Travel is a young, Internet-based provider of online
travel stores for travel agencies and home-based representatives
using its services and technology. Pro Travel currently supports
more than 15,000 independent travel agents and 6,000 independent
representatives throughout North America. Pro Travel has
established strong relationships with travel providers for cruises,
air travel, hotels, and auto rentals. Evidence of the strength of
these relationships is seen in Pro Travel�s increasing the number
of cruises booked with Carnival Cruise Lines by over 91% since
2007. Pro Travel�s revenue continues to increase on a comparable
quarterly basis; total revenue for nine months ended March 31,
2008, increased 139.2% to $6.8 million from $2.8 million for nine
months ended March 31, 2007. Through the last seven quarters, Pro
Travel�s revenue has been over $2.0 million for each quarter. Pro
Travel broke into the profit column in the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2008. It is nearing completion in the expansion of
its operations in Canada. Their balance sheet is clean and strong
with no long-term debt and a current ratio over 2 to 1. In view of
the most positive operating results for the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2008, and the relatively low valuation of Pro
Travel, we are reiterating our rating of Strong Speculative Buy and
maintain our $2.00 per share price target. About Dutton Associates
