1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Founded
in the United States (the “U.S.”) in 2001, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“Sino-Global”
or the “Company”), is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider. The Company
provides tailored solutions and value-added services to its customers to drive efficiency and control in related steps throughout
the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries
in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and the U.S. where a majority of the Company’s
clients are located.
The
Company operates in four operating segments including (1) shipping agency services, which are operated by its subsidiary in Hong
Kong; (2) inland transportation management services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the U.S.; (3) freight logistics
services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.; (4) container trucking services, which are operated
by its subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.
The
Company developed a mobile application which provides a full-service logistics platform for shipping operations between the U.S.
and the PRC for short-haul trucking in the U.S. and signed two significant agreements with COSCO Beijing International Freight
Co., Ltd. (“COSFRE Beijing”) and Sino-Trans Guangxi Logistics Co. Ltd., respectively, in December 2016. Pursuant to
the agreement with COSFRE Beijing, the Company receives a percentage of the transportation fees for the arrangement of inland
transportation services for COSFRE Beijing’s container shipments into U.S. ports. The Company has increased its business
in the U.S. since the launch of the short haul container truck services web-based platform. The Board subsequently authorized
the Company to upgrade its enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”) in order to manage its operations in real time
throughout its multiple locations and to integrate with web applications.
On
September 11, 2017, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ningbo Saimeinuo Supply Chain Management Ltd. (“Sino Ningbo”),
via its wholly-owned entity, Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. This subsidiary primarily engages in transportation management
and freight logistics services. Sino Ningbo’s operating results were included in the consolidated financial statements starting
with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.
Starting
with fiscal year 2019, current trade dynamics make it more expensive for shipping carrier clients to cost-effectively move cargo
into U.S. ports, and as a result, the Company saw a lower shipping volumes and less utilization of its online platform, which
has caused the Company to shift its focus to shipping agency business. The shipping agency industry in China has improved and
the number of shipping agencies in overall in the country has decreased, due to both price and the inability of competitors to
embrace technology as a resource in serving client needs.
On
September 3, 2018, the Company entered into a co-operation agreement with Ningbo Far-East Universal Shipping Agency Co., Ltd to
set up a joint venture in Hong Kong named Bright Far East International Shipping Agency Co., Ltd., to engage in worldwide shipping
agency operations. The Company has 51% equity interests in the joint venture. Currently the Company is conducting the shipping
agency business through its wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary and there was no major operation of the joint venture for the three
and nine months ended March 31, 2019.
On April 10, 2019, the
Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin, the Chief Executive Officer of a shipping management company
in China, to set up a joint venture in New York named State Priests Management Ltd., which the Company will hold a 20% equity
interest. The Company did not provide any cash contribution to the joint venture as the date of filing of this report.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of all directly, indirectly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entity. All intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)
Basis of Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd., a PRC
corporation (“Sino-China”), is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), with the Company as the
primary beneficiary. The Company, through Trans Pacific Beijing, entered into certain agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to
which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. The Company does not receive any payments from Sino-China unless
Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle the Company to any consideration if Sino-China
incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required
to absorb such net loss.
As
a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in the Company’s total revenues, and any loss from operations is consolidated
with that of the Company. Because of contractual arrangements between the Company and Sino-China, the Company has a pecuniary
interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and Sino-China.
The
Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results because the entities are under common control in accordance with
ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”. The agency relationship between the Company and Sino-China and its branches is
governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Company has substantial control over Sino-China. Management
makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Sino-China.
The
carrying amount and classification of Sino-China’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

(c)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which clarifies the definition of fair value,
prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair
value as follows:
Level
1 — Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at
the measurement date.
Level
2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable,
and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions based on the best available information.
The
carrying value of accounts receivable, other receivables, other current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair
values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(d)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of
revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, income tax expense, the useful lives of property and equipment
and intangible assets. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
(e)
Translation of Foreign Currency
The
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional
currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in the PRC, including Sino-China, report their financial
positions and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the fixed exchange rates in effect
at the time of the transaction. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions
are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company translates
the foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global
Shipping Canada, Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the balance sheet
dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation
adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component
of equity of the Company, and also included in non-controlling interests.
The
exchange rates as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Notes receivable
Notes
receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from various customers where the customers’ banks have guaranteed the
payment. The notes are non-interest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit
request for payment to the customer’s bank earlier than the scheduled payment date, but will incur an interest charge and
a processing fee.
(h)
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and for estimated losses.
The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt
as to the collectability of individual receivable balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances,
the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current
credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 180 days. Accounts Receivable are written
off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts.
Other
receivables primarily consist of prepaid employee insurance and welfare benefits, which will be subsequently deducted from the
employee payroll, guarantee deposits on behalf of ship owners as well as office lease deposits.
(i)
Property and Equipment, net
Net
property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost comprises its purchase price
and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation
is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings
|
20
years
|
Motor
vehicles
|
5-10
years
|
Furniture
and office equipment
|
3-5
years
|
Leasehold
improvements
|
Shorter
of lease term or useful lives
|
The
carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired by the Company when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such
asset is less than its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying
value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted
at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. Management has determined that there were no
impairments at the balance sheet dates.
(j)
Intangible Assets, net
Intangible
assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following
estimated useful lives:
Logistics

The
Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired. There was no such impairment as of March 31, 2019

Revenue Recognition
On
July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(FASB ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2018. This did
not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized
based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.
The
core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of
goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such
exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be
recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s
revenue streams are recognized at a point in time.
The
ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that
the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine
the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will
not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue
when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared
to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company
evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using
the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
The
Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon performance
of services. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the
customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. The
Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied.
|
●
|
Revenues
from shipping agency services are recognized upon completion of services, which coincides with the date of departure of
the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services
and recognition of the related revenues are presented as advances from customers.
|
|
●
|
Revenues
from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customers’
warehouse.
|
|
●
|
Revenues
from freight logistics services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
|
|
●
|
Revenues
from container trucking services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

(l)
Taxation
Because
the Company and its subsidiaries and Sino-China are incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns.
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Deferred taxes, if any, are recognized
for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not that the asset will not be utilized in the future.

(UNAUDITED)
The
Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will
be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest
and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions
as of March 31, 2019 and June 30 2018, respectively.
Income
tax returns for the years prior to 2015 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.
On
December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”). Under the provisions of
the TCJA, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate
income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending
June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Additionally, the TCJA imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation
of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has
caused the Company to re-measure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and net operating
loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and recorded a one-time transition tax expense.
PRC
Enterprise Income Tax
PRC
enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under the PRC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“PRC GAAP”) at 25%. Sino-China, Trans Pacific and Sino Ningbo are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise
Income Tax Laws of the PRC.
PRC
Business Tax and Surcharges
Revenues
from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates, including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject
to the PRC business tax of 5%. Business tax and surcharges are paid on gross revenues generated from shipping agency services
minus the costs of services which are paid on behalf of the customers.
In
addition, under the PRC regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates are required to pay the city construction
tax (7%) and education surcharges (3%) based on the calculated business tax payments.
The
Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates report revenues net of PRC’s business tax and surcharges for all the periods
presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
(m)
Earnings (loss) per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common shares of the Company by
the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised
or converted into common shares of the Company. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings
per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
For
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company
because the Company generated a net loss. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the basic average shares outstanding
and diluted average shares of the Company outstanding were not the same because the effect of potential shares of common stock
of the Company was dilutive since the exercise prices for options were lower than the average market price for the related periods.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, a total of 34,686 and 46,283 unexercised options were dilutive and were included,
respectively, in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Comprehensive Income (loss)
The
Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the FASB-issued authoritative guidance which establishes standards
for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its component in financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss), as defined,
includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources.
(o)
Stock-based Compensation
Valuations
are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair
value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based
on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee
terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of the grant.
(p)
Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company’s business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal
environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject
to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These
include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The
Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and
by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency
conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements
adopted
In
August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and
Cash Payments (“ASU No. 2016-15”), to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented
and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues:
(1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with
Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration
Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement
of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned; (6) Life Insurance Policies; (7) Distributions Received from
Equity Method Investees; (8) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions; and Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application
of the Predominance Principle. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.
The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply
the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the
earliest date practicable. On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-15 and determined the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15
did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification
accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions
of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment
awards, ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. On July 1, 2018,
the Company has adopted this ASU. The Company determined the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pronouncements
not yet adopted
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase the transparency and comparability about
leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually
all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption assuming
the Company will remain an emerging growth company at that date. Early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2017-13, which to clarify effective dates that public business entities and other entities were required to adopt
ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business
entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s
filing with the SEC adopting ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting
periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU No. 2017-13 also amended that all components
of a leveraged lease be recalculated from inception of the lease based on the revised after tax cash flows arising from the change
in the tax law, including revised tax rates. The difference between the amounts originally recorded and the recalculated amounts
must be included in income of the year in which the tax law is enacted. The Company plans to adopt this update in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements
and related disclosures.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based
Payment Accounting. The guidance largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees,
whereby the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively
a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee
awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term
will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The ASU is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company plans to adopt
this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The ASU is required to be applied on a prospective basis to all new awards
granted after the date of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance but does not expect the
standard to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes
to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and
adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures

9. EQUITY
Stock
issuance:
On
March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with investors pursuant to which the Company sold to
the investors in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value
per share, at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million. The placement agent received a cash commission
fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds. The offering closed on March 14, 2018. The offering of the 2 million shares was made
pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222098), which was originally
filed with the SEC on December 15, 2017, and was declared effective by the SEC on February 16, 2018. The Company agreed in the
purchase agreement that it would not issue any common stock for 60 calendar days following the closing of the offering and each
of the Company’s executive officers and directors agreed to a lock-up period of 60 days from the date of the purchase agreement.
Concurrently
with the registered direct offering closed on March 14, 2018, the Company sold the investors Series “A” warrants to
purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and Series “B”
warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. The sale
of the Series “A” warrants and Series “B” warrants is a private placement in reliance upon an exemption
afforded under Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Series “A” warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018,
and expire five and a half (5.5) years from the date of issuance. The Series B warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018,
and expire thirteen (13) months from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends, or other similar transactions,
but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares and
the warrants after deducting offering expenses and placement agent fees were $2,585,091.
On
April 26, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares
of common stock underlying the Series A and B Warrants mentioned above. The S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2018.
The
warrants are classified as equity since they qualify for exception from derivative accounting as they are considered to be indexed
to the Company’s own stock and require net share settlement. The fair value of the warrants of $1,074,140 is valued based
on the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recorded as additional paid-in capital from common stock based on the relative fair value
of proceeds received using the following assumptions:

Contingencies
The
Labor Contract Law of the PRC requires employers to insure the liability of severance payments for terminated employees that have
worked for the employers for at least two years prior to January 1, 2008. The employers will be liable for one month for severance
pay for each year of the service provided by the employees. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company has estimated
its severance payments of $78,000 and $59,000, respectively, which have not been reflected in its unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, because management cannot predict what the actual payment, if any, will be in the future.
Sino-Global
has employment agreements with each of Mr. Lei Cao, Ms. Tuo Pan and Mr. Zhikang Huang. These employment agreements provide for
five-year terms that extend automatically in the absence of termination provided at least 60 days prior to the anniversary date
of the agreement. If the Company fails to provide this notice or if the Company wishes to terminate an employment agreement in
the absence of cause, then the Company is obligated to provide at least 30 days’ prior notice. In such case during the initial
term of the agreement, the Company would need to pay such executive (i) the remaining salary through the date of December 31,
2023, (ii) two times of the then applicable annual salary if there has been no Change in Control, as defined in the employment
agreements or three-and-half times of the then applicable annual salary if there is a Change in Control.
From
time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. The Company was named
as a defendant in a breach of service contract lawsuit in the amount of $225,000 filed with the California Superior Court on January
19, 2018. The Company filed a motion with the court to force the plaintiff into arbitration rather than to litigate the dispute
in court based on the arbitration provision in the contract. The California Superior Court approved its motion to stay the case
pending the resolution of the arbitration and has scheduled a further status conference for June 4, 2019 to get another update
about the status of the arbitration. In Indianapolis, this matter has been agreed to settle in exchange for 40,000 restrictive
shares of common stock of the Company to the plaintiff, pending the execution of a settlement agreement. As a result of the anticipated
settlement, the arbitration in Indianapolis is dismissed and the litigation in California is expected to be dismissed. The Company
estimates the accrued liability to be approximately $35,000 and believes it will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s
unaudited condensed consolidated operations or financial position.

12. INCOME TAXES
On
December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the TCJA. Under the provisions of the TCJA, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35%
to 21%. Since the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2018 is applied to the provision for income tax and a 21% rate for subsequent fiscal years.
As
of March 31, 2019, the Company re-measured deferred tax assets based on the current effective rate of 21% at which these deferred
tax amounts are expected to reverse in the future.

NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The
Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the
deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many
factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings
experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors.
Management has provided an allowance against the deferred tax assets balance as of March 31, 2019. The net increase in valuation
for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $558,700 and $986,200 respectively, based on management’s
reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. Management
considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect the Company’s future realization of deferred tax assets.
Due to the Company’s forecasted pretax income and continuing utilization of its NOL, management determined that there is
sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that all of the Company’s deferred taxes are realizable.
The
Company’s taxes payable consists of the following:

SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, “Segment
Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s
internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial
statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial information of the separate
operating segments when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the group. The Company has
determined that it has four operating segments: (1) shipping agency services; (2) inland transportation management services; (3)
freight logistics services; and (4) container trucking services. The Company combined freight logistics services and bulk cargo
container services into one segment starting from first quarter of 2019 as both segments have similar nature of services (cargo
freight) and was provided to the same customer base. Due to the current economic trade dynamic, the Company has not generated
any revenue from bulk cargo container services for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and expects revenue from bulk
container trucking to generate less than 5% of its revenue for fiscal year 2019. Revenue from bulk cargo container services accounted
for 0% and 4% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

February 18, 2017, the Company entered into a cooperative transportation agreement with a related party, Zhiyuan Hong Kong (the

The Company agreed to provide high-quality services, including the design of a detailed transportation plan as well as execution

fee incurred in the Project as a commission for its services rendered. On July 7, 2017, the Company signed a supplemental agreement
with the Buyer, in which the Company agreed to cooperate with the Buyer exclusively on the entire Project’s transportation
needs with respect to transporting construction materials from manufacturers to the port of Malaysia and to the factory site.
Pursuant to the supplemental agreement, the Company agreed to make prepayments to the Buyer for its share of packaging and transporting
costs related to the Project; in return, the Company received 15% of the costs incurred in the Project from the Buyer as a service
fee. The Company has completed its services pursuant to the supplemental agreement and received a $575,115 service fee in June
2018. The entire advance was reimbursed in September 2018.
