Business Wire
OneTravel Holdings, Inc. (AMEX: OTV), a leading online and offline
provider of travel and leisure services, announced today that it
will not be able to file its Form 10-K on or before October 13,
2005, the last date for a timely filing. In connection with the
announcement the company issued the following statement: We have
been working diligently since year-end to prepare for and complete
the audit of our financial statements and the preparation of the
form 10-K. The work relating to the accounting for the integration
of two major acquisitions, one in the third quarter and the other
in the fourth quarter of the company's fiscal year ended June 30,
2005, along with a major financing in the fourth quarter required
additional man-hours for a complete review. Accordingly, the
company will not be able to file its form 10-K by the extended due
date. The company expects the 10-K to be filed no later than
October 31, 2005. The Company wishes to confirm that the current
outstanding number of shares of common stock is approximately 10.43
million, plus the Company has confirmed that the Board of Directors
approved the conversion of the $6 million promissory note issued in
connection with the Farequest Holdings acquisition. The conversion
was at the Company's option and the conversion price was $20 per
share. This conversion allows the company to terminate interest
accrual on the note, which was due to mature in February 2006.

travel business subsidiaries, Farequest Holdings, Inc., operating
under the name 1-800-CHEAPSEATS (www.cheapseats.com) and OneTravel,
Inc. (www.onetravel.com), both of which are leading online and
offline providers of a full range of travel services, and FS
SunTours, Inc., which sells leisure and vacation travel packages

in this news release about anticipated or expected future revenue
or shareholder value growth or expressions of future goals or
objectives, including statements regarding market conditions or
whether current plans to grow and strengthen the Company's business
will be implemented or accomplished, are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. When used in this release and documents, the
words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect" and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not
the exclusive means of identifying these statements. All
forward-looking statements in this release are based upon
information available to the Company on the date of this release.
Any forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,
including the risk that the Company will be unable to grow or
strengthen its business due to a lack of capital or a change in
market demand for its products and services or to fully or
effectively integrate all business units or the inability to
realize anticipated cost savings or revenue and stockholder value
growth opportunities associated with the acquisitions of Farequest
Holdings, Inc. and OneTravel, Inc. The Company has previously
mentioned in conference calls that gross bookings are not equal to
gross revenues under generally accepted accounting principles, so
no inference can be made about profitability based on gross
bookings unless expressly stated by the Company. There is also no
certainty that the Company will be successful in its quest to
secure strategic alliances in its efforts to restructure its
SunTrips operations. The Company is also subject to those risks and
uncertainties described in the Company's filings with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's
historical losses and negative cash flow, its need for additional
capital, including to finance the $12,500,000 promissory notes
payable to the former stockholders of OneTravel, Inc., and that
future financing, if available, will dilute the Company's current
common stockholders. Additionally, forward-looking statements
concerning the performance of the travel and leisure industry are
based on current market conditions and risks, which may change as
the result of certain regulatory, political, or economic events, a
shift in consumer travel preferences, as well as those risks and
uncertainties described in the Company's SEC filings, which could
cause actual events or results to differ materially from the events
or results described in the forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. For a complete description of the items approved at the
annual stockholder's meeting, the Company's proxy statement is
