Investment Highlights 10/29/07

    Valuation and Analyst Summary
       
      We based our valuation analysis on comparisons to a peer group of travel companies with strong online franchises.

      The Company’s travel industry peers were recently trading at forward Price/Sales multiples ranging from 1.54 times sales for Allegiant Travel to 5.78 times sales for eLong. The companies with stronger online exposure enjoy a premium valuation. Because of CINT’s online business model, and significant progress in rolling out its IntelliFares product and forging strategic partnerships with airlines and other travel partners, we believe CINT shares warrant a valuation at the peer group median despite the weakness of its balance sheet.


      Source: Yahoo, SEC Filings

      According to management, during the first 4 months of FY2008 the Company expects to sell 3,000 five-year ticket units with price ranging from $1,265 to over $4,000. Assuming the median price, the Company should report $7.9 million of gross revenues. Considering the Company’s fee ratio at approximately 5% we derive a revenue estimate of approximately $0.4 million for the first 4 months of 2008.

      Base on the above-mentioned management outlook and taking into account the seasonality of the travel industry, we are expecting FY 2008 net revenue to approach $1 million.

      Applying the peer group forward 2008 P/S multiple of 3.13 to our $1.0 million revenue estimate, we derive a target price for CINT of $0.11 per share.

      Thus, we are initiating coverage on Crystal International Travel Group with a Speculative Buy rating and $0.11 price target. Our rating and target reflect the innovative business model that offers saving opportunities for an underserved niche – the Predictable Pattern Traveler; strong growth opportunities due to the launch of IntelliFares operations; partnership agreements with Mexicana Airline, ResortCom International, and Flying Dutchmen Travel; as well as a focus on travel value by consumers sensitive to price changes triggered by higher oil prices.

      However, we caution investors, that the Company is in the early stages of rolling out its business plan and will likely need to raise additional capital and increase its brands visibility to garner meaningful revenues and market share.


      Beacon Equity Research is committed to producing the highest-quality investment research, and helping investors make informed decisions. Our focus is primarily on the underserved small cap market, which has traditionally been shunned by Wall Street. We have no investment banking or consulting relationships with the companies we cover, removing an inherent conflict of interest typically found in most research firms. The companies we feature have agreed to enroll in our research program for a set period and have also agreed to pay an upfront fee to defray the costs of research, publishing and distribution. Our analysis and conclusions are therefore made independently from outside pressures. We seek to explore every pertinent aspect of a company's business and make investors fully aware of the potential risks and rewards involved with the company's stock. All of our reports are co-authored and approved by a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), one of the most prestigious designations in the securities industry.

Crystal International Travel Group, Inc. ("Crystal") ("CINT") operates as a multi-asset travel company. The company offers products and services to address price stability in the travel industry with a focus on higher income, frequent, leisure travelers such as timeshare owners, second-home owners, college students, and business travelers.  Crystal offers intellifares, a prepaid subscription to five years of air travel at a fixed price, so consumers, especially those who own time-share vacation property and other "Predictive Pattern Travelers," can lock in the future costs of their vacation.

Crystal distributes its products and services  through traditional travel supplier networks, including: airlines, online and off line travel agencies, cruise lines, time share developers, and sellers. Additionally, Crystal owns and operates a travel agency business and offers its products through online marketing and direct marketing.  Crystal has a competitive advantage in its ability to negotiate air, car and hotel services in long term contracts.  Subsequently, Crystal web sites provide Internet users with discount rates and affordable packaged tours while retaining an emphasis on the highest standards of service through its customer care programs. 

Less than a year ago, Crystal became a publicly traded company and its management team was bolstered with several industry veterans in order to accelerate the execution of its business plan.  The Crystal management team has, on average, over 25 years of professional experience in corporate finance, consumer marketing, travel & tourism with globally recognized companies.  Management experience includes: positions with DVC Worldwide, Club Med, MGM Grand Corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises and others. 

The Crystal Business Vision

The Crystal business plan is based on two premises: First, assemble three key components of a forward-looking travel company. These include (1) creating a diversified offering of high-margin travel product that leverages the financial strength and purchasing habits of Predictable Pattern Travelers (the wealthiest and most frequent travelers), 2) the creation of a nationally recognized hospitality brand to deliver its products and 3) the management of a fully licensed travel agency to act as an incubator and proof-of-concept for its products and to handle negotiations and contracts with industry suppliers, as well as day to day operations including, but not limited to, issuing tickets, booking hotels and car rental, customer service. 

Second, management is working to grow through the expansion of its existing travel products. Through the acquisition of the SunTrips' brand name and other intellectual property, Crystal came into possession of a well recognized travel brand with 29 years of history and a potential customer database of 270,000 members. These and other efforts mentioned in 3) above provide will provide a stable revenue base and the licenses and industry insight to execute its vision.
