While only the commissions arising from RTAs&#39; booking of travel services booked on the RTAs&#39; websites are reflected as a component of the Company&#39;s revenues, YTB also keeps track of the aggregate retail value of all travel services that are sold by its RTAs&#39; websites (which directly impacts commission revenues). The value of such travel services increased 84% in 2007 to <MONEY>$414.5 million</MONEY>, from <MONEY> $225.7 million</MONEY> in 2006.</span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> Net income for the year ended <CHRON>December 31, 2007</CHRON> was <MONEY> $3.2 million</MONEY>, or <MONEY>$0.03</MONEY> per diluted share, compared to a net loss of (<MONEY>$6.0</MONEY>) million, or (<MONEY>$0.07</MONEY>) per diluted share, for the 2006 fiscal year.</span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> Stockholders&#39; equity as of the 2007 year end increased by <MONEY> $19.3 million</MONEY> or 958%, to <MONEY>$17.3 million</MONEY> from a (<MONEY>$2.0</MONEY>) deficit as of the end of fiscal 2006.</span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> &#39;2007 was a banner year for YTB. During the year we more than doubled the size of our network of RTAs to approximately 131,000 strong in addition to reporting three consecutive profitable quarters,&#39; stated <PERSON>Scott Tomer</PERSON>, Chief Executive Officer of YTB. &#39;As our company grows, so does the attention we have gained within the travel industry. Over the past year we have received praise for our energy and industry-changing business strategy from leading travel companies and organizations. However, not surprisingly, we have also attracted criticism from those companies with whom we indirectly and directly compete. We challenged these critics by concentrating on our business and making YTB one of the most successful travel service companies around. Moving into 2008, we see no signs of slowing down, as we expanded our services into <LOCATION>Canada</LOCATION>.&#39;</span></p> <p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> &#39;We have established a strong network of contacts within the travel world, which have led to significant agreements that have expanded the scope of our travel business. Most recently, we announced an exclusive partnership with <LOCATION>Shanghai</LOCATION> Spring International Travel Service and Mandarin Voyages to market and sell European tour packages, including trips to <LOCATION>France</LOCATION>, <LOCATION>Germany</LOCATION>, <LOCATION>Belgium</LOCATION> and Holland. These agreements expand our RTAs&#39; ability to offer fun, unique travel options,&#39; stated, J. <PERSON>Kim Sorensen</PERSON>, CEO of YTB Travel Network, a wholly- owned YTB subsidiary. &#39;We are very proud of these efforts and look forward to helping more RTAs find success through selling travel.&#39;<br> <br> </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> About YTB International Recognized as the 35th largest seller of travel in the U.S. in 2006 by Travel Weekly, YTB International, Inc. provides Internet-based travel booking services for home-based independent representatives in the United States, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Canada, Bermuda, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.<br> <br> It operates through three subsidiaries: YourTravelBiz.com, Inc., YTB Travel Network, Inc., and REZconnect Technologies, Inc.
