(the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is an educational company primarily engaged in organizing and promoting differentiated worldwide travel programs for students and professionals. In addition, we operate an education oriented research website called BookRags that provides study guides, lesson plans and other educational resources to students and teachers. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ambassadors Group, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Ambassador Programs, Inc., World Adventures Unlimited, Inc., Ambassadors Unlimited, LLC, AGI Hong Kong Limited, Beijing People to People Education Consultation Co., Ltd, Marketing Production Systems LLC, and BookRags, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions, which are of a normal recurring nature, are eliminated in consolidation. Our operations are organized in two reporting segments, 1) "Ambassador Programs and Other," which provides educational travel services to students and professionals through multiple itineraries within four travel program types and corporate overhead, and 2) "BookRags," which provides online research capabilities through book summaries, critical essays, online study guides, lesson plans, biographies, and references to encyclopedia articles.
