NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008


NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Pro Travel Network, Inc., have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Pro Travel’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2008 as reported elsewhere in this Form 10-Q have been omitted.

NOTE B – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, as amended in February 2008 by FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157.  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.    SFAS 157 also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

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.

The adoption of FAS 157 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but SFAS 157 introduced new disclosures about how we value certain assets and liabilities. Much of the disclosure is focused on the inputs used to measure fair value, particularly in instances where the measurement uses significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

FSP FAS 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. As such, we partially adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008.  The partial adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.  We expect to adopt the remaining provisions of SFAS 157 beginning in 2009.  We do not expect this adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.  
  
NOTE C — COMMON STOCK

Issuances for Services

During the six months ended December 31, 2008, Pro Travel Network, Inc. issued 783,805 shares to third parties for services rendered valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $122,985, 1,105,000 shares to executive officers of Pro Travel Network, for services rendered valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $331,500, and 115,000 shares of common stock to twelve (12) employees valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $34,500.

NOTE D — STOCK OPTIONS/WARRANTS

On June 04, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with AGORACOM. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the consulting agreement: (i) we shall issue to AGORACOM 250,000 warrants to purchase up to 250,000 of our restricted common stock at $0.50 per share ; and (ii) AGORACOM shall perform such consulting services involving general business matters and other business consulting as mutually agreed upon.

The options will vest in equal amounts of 160,000 and stage over the next 60 months. All options not exercised by the expiration date are forfeited. Compensation cost for the 800,000 options issued to Ray Lopez amounted to $117,750, with $8,497 recognized in the financial statements for the six months ended December 31, 2008 with the balance of $109,253 to be recognized over the period January 1, 2009 through December 24, 2014. The weighted average fair value of the options issued was $0.15.

NOTE E – NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Fully diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income applicable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents for both basic and fully diluted earnings per share calculations are as follows:

Common stock equivalents for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were not used in calculating fully diluted earnings per share as the effect would be anti-dilutive for the loss incurred.
 
NOTE F – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On October 5th, 2008, a lawsuit was filed against Pro Travel Network by a recently dismissed employee.  The lawsuit alleges that she was fired due to retaliation for filing a complaint of workplace sexual harassment.  Pro Travel Network vehemently denies any and all allegations as completely false and without merit.  It is remote that this lawsuit will settle in favor of the employee and, therefore, no contingency is recorded.
 
 
NOTE G – ACQUISITION OF COMPANY

On December 19, 2008, Pro Travel Network, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of KG & S Pty, Ltd., an Australian company for a cash purchase price of $41,743. We acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of KG & S Pty, Ltd. The acquisition was made because the business model of the acquired entity was synergistic to that of Pro Travel and the intangible asset that was acquired is associated with the acquired and ongoing revenue stream. None of the acquired entity s operations are included in our statement of operations as they were not significant. The acquisition cost was allocated to assets as follows:

       
Property and equipment, net
  $ 3,542  
Goodwill
    38,201  
    $ 41,743  
         

Goodwill is the excess of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired over liabilities assumed.  The amount recognized as Goodwill includes acquired intangible assets for which fair values could not be determined.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually.
 
 
 
Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, among other things, statements concerning our expectations regarding our future financial performance, business strategy, milestones, projected plans and objectives.

Overview

We currently offer the following products:

·  
Independent Travel Agent Program or ITAP – $439.99 initial fee; $99 annual fee after first year - sold by our Independent Representatives.

We currently support approximately 8,300 independent travel agents and over 3,500 Independent Representatives throughout North America.

We are in the final phase of completing the expansion of our operations in Canada.  We opened a Canadian office in Ontario in July 2006, Quebec in July 2007 and currently are in the process of opening our final office in British Columbia.  The most major goal towards achieving our business objectives over the next year is our goal of having 100% of our agents booking travel.  Continuing operations will always focus on ways to increase our marketing sales force.

We launched an expansion into Australia on December 19, 2008 with our acquisition of KG & S Pty. Ltd. KG & S Pty. Ltd.  has operated its travel business for nearly 20 years and is among the leading online travel agencies in the Melbourne area. The Australian market is strategic in the Company’s long term business plans and will allow the Company to expand services to customers in the Australian market. This acquisition brings incremental value to the Company and will immediately increase our customer base along with giving the Company immediate access to already established relationships with all major hotels, airlines and car rentals within the greater Australian area.

The Australian market is part of our strategic plans for the growth of the Company. We have a successful track record in business and experience from our Canadian expansion makes us confident in the international markets. Not only do we believe Australia is an important part of our expansion, but it also serves as the perfect launch pad to capture the lucrative Asia-Pacific travel market in the future.

As described below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we believe we will be able to complete our expansion in Canada and launch our expansion in Australia without any need to obtain additional financing.

The economic downturn has had a significant  effect on our operations over the past six months and we expect that it will continue to be a significant factor going forward.  Most notably was the reduction in our investments as unrealized losses due to the severe contraction in stock prices across the board.  Lower sales and the resulting reduction in revenues was also a serious issue that we attribute to the recession gaining in intensity.

Moving forward, we have reduced expenses significantly through several strong cost-cutting measures, including but not limited to layoffs, bonus and salary reductions,  With a now leaner company, we believe the negative economy will still be a major factor working against profitability and revenue growth in the coming year, but we are equally satisfied that we have cut expenses and made significant marketing adjustments to carry us through 2009.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The financial statements include estimates made by management that impact the amounts reflected for property and equipment as well as security deposits, as detailed below:

Property & Equipment

Management has estimated the useful lives as the basis for depreciating its property and equipment. Estimated useful lives utilized for depreciating property and equipment is three years for all computer equipment and software and seven years for furniture and fixtures. Management believes these estimates are very conservative.

Security Deposits

Security deposits represent operating lease deposits and amounts on deposit with credit card payment processing services that serve as collateral in case we were to cease operations or experience significant chargebacks from customers. Management has provided an allowance for unrecoverable deposits based on its estimate of collectibility in the amount of $35,353 as of March 31, 2007 (See the section entitled “Legal Proceedings,” below)
 
 

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired over liabilities assumed.  The amount recognized as Goodwill includes acquired intangible assets for which fair values could not be determined.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually.

The decrease in total sales was due to a decrease of $951,171 in Independent Travel Agent Program or ITAP sales which was offset by an increase of $144,492 in Travel Commissions revenue and an increase of $40,389 in National Events revenue .  The decrease in ITAP sales was due to the decrease in signing up of new agents due to declining economic conditions, whereas, the increase in travel commissions is based on travel booked prior to economic downturn beginning in October.

Our cost of sales decreased $947,266, or 33%, to $1,880,847 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to cost of sales of $2,828,113 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.   The decrease in total cost of sales was mainly due to a decrease of $1,045,412 in Independent Travel Agent Program or ITAP sales offset by an increase of $92,121 in Travel Commissions and an increase of $6,025 in National Events cost.

Compensation expense increased $570,767 to $1,363,877 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, as compared to compensation expense of $793,110 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.  The increase in compensation expense was as follows:

·  
$366,000 due to the issuance of 1,220,000 shares to employees and officers.
·  
$204,767 due to the increase of our corporate and Canadian staffs and the addition of Ray Lopez, Vice President and COO.
o  
Mr. Lopez provides management and other services to us under an employment agreement which was amended July 1, 2008 to increase his annual salary from $96,000 per year to $120,000 per year and change his commission of 2% of the net Travel Agent Product revenue, less all costs of sales expenses to .5% of actual gross revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, we had total current assets of $842,713 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $176,128, accounts receivable of $3,861, inventory of $16,895, investments of $584,187 and prepaid expenses of $61,642.  Our cash balances exceeded FDIC insurance protection levels by approximately $14,415 at December 31, 2008 and at certain points throughout the year subjecting us to risk related to the un-protected balance. We have determined that the risk of loss associated with these un-protected balances is remote and therefore no adjustment for the risk has been provided for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

We had total current liabilities of $516,120 consisting of accounts payable of $117,292, accrued expenses of $331,550 and deferred revenue of $67,278. We have no long-term debt.  Accrued expenses consisted of accrued employees salaries and benefits of $92,854, other expenses of $88,824 and commissions and rewards owed our representatives in the amount of $149,872, of which approximately $36,397 was the estimated full potential value of PTN Reward Points owed Agents and Managers and the reminder was primarily commissions held for payment at the end of every two weeks.

We had working capital of $326,593 as of December 31, 2008.

During the six months ended December 31, 2008, net cash decreased by $192,076 consisting of $83,745 provided by operating activities and $275,821 used in investing activities.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2008, consisted of a net loss from operations of $507,020, adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $11,488 along with share-based compensation of $585,562, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $171,687 and a decrease in inventory of $869  which were offset a decrease in deferred revenue of $90,593, by a an increase in accounts receivable of $3,000, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $45,428 and  an adjustment for gain on sale of investments of $39,820.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2008, consisted of property and equipment purchases of $17,689, investments purchases of $532,904 and intangible assets-goodwill from acquisition of $38,201 which were offset by sale of investments of $312,973.
 

We believe our cash resources of $176,128 are sufficient to satisfy our current cash requirements over the next 12 months.  In addition, based upon our prior experience, we believe we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to also satisfy these requirements. We have expanded our business operations in Canada as outlined in the Overview, above.  We estimate that we need $125,000 of capital to complete the expansion of our operations in Australia. To date, we have generated sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy expansion and believe this trend will continue. Should we need additional capital over the amount generated from cash flow, we hope to be able to raise additional capital from an offering of our stock in the future. However, this offering may not occur, or if it occurs, we may not raise the required funding. At this time, we have not secured or identified any additional financing.  We do not have any firm commitments or other identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers or directors or from shareholders.  There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us.  Any additional financing may involve dilution to our shareholders.  In the alternative, additional funds may be provided from cash flow in excess of that needed to finance our day-to-day operations, although we may never generate this excess cash flow. If we raise additional capital or generate additional funds, we plan to use the funds to finance the minimum steps in the Milestone table that we would like to take to implement our business plan in the next 12 months; however, the amounts actually expended may vary significantly.  Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of any additional capital that we may receive or funds that we may generate.  If we do not raise additional capital or generate additional funds, implementation of our business plans as set forth in the Overview section will be delayed.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).


ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2008, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2008 due to the following:   We have previously had a material weakness that relates to the lack of segregation of duties in that our CEO and CFO were the same person.  In the preparation of audited financial statements, footnotes and financial data all of our financial reporting is carried out by our Chief Financial Officer. The lack of segregation of duties results from lack of a separate Chief Financial Officer with accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.  We are, in fact, a small, relatively simple operation from a financial point of view.  Following the end of fiscal year 2008, we hired a full time Chief Financial Officer and will continue our program to fully-implement internal controls procedures.  Further, our CFO monitors the controls on an ongoing basis. All unexpected results are investigated. At any time, if it appears that any control can be implemented to continue to mitigate such weaknesses, it is immediately implemented.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

There are no pending or threatened lawsuits against us, except as follows:

We are currently pursuing an operating credit card processing service that failed to return our deposit of approximately $35,000.  The credit card processing service is currently pursuing action against its bank to recover this sum and has orally agreed to pay us this amount if recovered. However, as the processor is not located in the U.S., if they do not pay us as orally agreed, we do not intend to institute litigation due to the cost of litigation and uncertainty of collection. Although as the company is still in business and we may be able to collect, recovery is uncertain, so we have provided an allowance on our financial statements for the entire balance in case it is not collected.
 

On October 5th, 2008,  a lawsuit was filed against Pro Travel Network by a recently dismissed employee.  The lawsuit alleges that she was fired due to retaliation for filing a complaint of workplace sexual harassment.  Pro Travel Network vehemently denies any and all allegations as completely false and without merit.  Pro Travel Network has cut salaries of several employees and laid off several more over the last quarter in an attempt to properly cope with the current and continuing economic downturn.
 
Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the six months ended December 31, 2008, Pro Travel Network, Inc. issued 783,805 shares to thirty third parties for services rendered valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $122,985, 1,105,000 shares to executive officers of Pro Travel Network, for services rendered valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $331,500, and 115,000 shares of common stock to twelve (12) employees based on a two year plus vesting with the company valued at their fair market value using quoted market prices on the date of grant, resulting in total share-based compensation expense of $34,500.
We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the above issuances.

We believed that Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 was available because:

·  
None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions.
·  
Restrictive legends were and will be placed on all certificates issued as described above.
·  
The distribution did not involve general solicitation or advertising.
·  
The distributions were made only to investors who were sophisticated enough to evaluate the risks of the investment.

In connection with the above transactions, although some of the investors may have also been accredited, we provided the following to all investors:

·  
Access to all our books and records.
·  
Access to all material contracts and documents relating to our operations.
·  
The opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent we possessed such information, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information to which the investors were given access.
