SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD.
1,170,000 Shares of Common Stock Issuable
upon Exercise of Warrants
This prospectus relates to the resale of
up to 1,170,000 shares of the common stock of Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia stock corporation (the “Company”),
that may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Stockholders”).
The shares of common stock offered under
this prospectus are 1,170,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain warrants (the “Warrants”),
that we issued to the Selling Stockholders, each of whom is an accredited investor, on December 11, 2020, in a private placement
pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 8, 2020, by and among the
Company and the purchasers named therein. The issuance of the Warrants was made in reliance on the exemptions from registration
afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) promulgated
thereunder.
We will not receive any proceeds from the
sale of any of the shares of common stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders. To the extent that any of the Warrants are
exercised for cash, if at all, we will receive the exercise price for those Warrants.
The Selling Stockholders or their
pledgees, assignees or successors-in-interest may offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock described
in this prospectus from time to time through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, in public or private transactions at
prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling
Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of shares. We will bear all other
costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning
on page 49 of this prospectus for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell or dispose of their shares of
common stock.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol “SINO.” On January 21, 2021, the last reported sale price for our common stock as
reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $3.57 per share.

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This summary highlights information
contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making
an investment decision with respect to our securities. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially any risk factors
contained herein and our financial statements and related notes contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision
with respect to our securities. Please see the section titled, “Where You Can Find More Information,” beginning on
page 54 of this prospectus. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “SINO,” the “Company,”
“we,” “us” and “our” or similar terms refer to Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia
corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Company
Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (“Sino,”
the “Company,” or “we”), a Virginia corporation, was founded in the United States (the “U.S.”)
in 2001. Sino is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider. Sino provides tailored solutions
and value-added services to its customers to drive effectiveness and control in related aspects throughout the entire shipping
and freight logistics chain. We operate in four operating segments, including (1) shipping agency and management services, operated
by our subsidiary in Hong Kong and the U.S.; (2) inland transportation management services, operated by our subsidiaries in the
U.S.; (3) freight logistics services, operated by our subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”
or “China”) and the U.S.; and (4) container trucking services, operated by our subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.
We conduct our business primarily through
our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and the U.S., where a majority of our clients are located.
Our subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific
Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), a wholly owned foreign enterprise, invested in one 90%-owned subsidiary,
Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai;” Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai
are referred to collectively as “Trans Pacific”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of local
shipping agency service businesses, we provided our shipping agency services in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd.
(“Sino-China” or “VIE”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate
local shipping agency services in the PRC. Trans Pacific Beijing and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary relationship.
Trans Pacific Beijing has contractual arrangements with Sino-China and its stockholders that enable us to substantially control
Sino-China. Through Sino-China, we were able to provide local shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC. Sino-China
is one of the committee members of China Association of Shipping Agencies & Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers (“CASA”).
CASA was approved to form by China Ministry of Communications. Sino-China is also our only entity that is qualified to do shipping
agency business in China. We keep the VIE to prepare ourselves for the market to turn around.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities has a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider the
following risks, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements
and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are
unaware or that we believe are not material at this time could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
or results of operations. In any case, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
See also the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere
in this prospectus.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
We
face risks related to health pandemics that could impact our sales and operating results.
Our
business could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak
of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Any outbreak of contagious
diseases, and other adverse public health developments, particularly in China, could have a material and adverse effect on our
business operations. These could include disruptions or restrictions on our ability to resume the general shipping agency services,
as well as temporary closures of our facilities and ports or the facilities of our customers and third-party service providers.
Any disruption or delay of our customers or third-party service providers would likely impact our operating results and the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population
could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of China and many other
countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our services and significantly impact our operating
results.
The
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a significant impact on our operations since January 2020 and could materially adversely
affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the 2021 calendar year.
Our
ability to manufacture and/or sell our products may be impaired by damage or disruption to our manufacturing, warehousing or distribution
capabilities, or to the capabilities of our suppliers, logistics service providers or distributors as a result of the impact from
the COVID-19. This damage or disruption could result from events or factors that are impossible to predict or are beyond our control,
such as raw material scarcity, pandemics, government shutdowns, disruptions in logistics, supplier capacity constraints, adverse
weather conditions, natural disasters, fire, terrorism or other events. In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. In
compliance with the government mandates, the Company temporarily closed and its production operations were halted from late January
2020 through the middle of February 2020. During this closure, employees had only limited access to the Company’s facilities,
which led to delayed order manufacturing, assembly and fulfillment. While the spread of the disease has gradually returned under
control in China, COVID-19 could adversely affect our business and financial results for the remaining months of the year 2021.
As a result, there is a possibility that the Company’s revenues and operating cash flows may be significantly lower than
expected for fiscal year 2021.
RISKS
RELATED TO THIS OFFERING
Since
our management has broad discretion in how we use any proceeds that we may receive from the exercise of the Warrants, we may use
the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.
Our
management will have significant flexibility in applying any proceeds we may receive from the cash exercise of the Warrants. You
will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity,
as part of your investment decision, to influence how the proceeds are being used. It is possible that these proceeds will be
invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results and cash flow.
Because
we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and
the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with
these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.
As
a public company with listed equity securities, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including
certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank
Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying
with these laws, rules and regulations occupies a significant amount of the time of our Board of Directors and management and
significantly increases our costs and expenses. Among other things, we must:
|
●
|
maintain
a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
|
|
●
|
comply
with rules and regulations promulgated by the NASDAQ;
|
|
●
|
prepare
and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal
securities laws;
|
|
●
|
maintain
various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure
controls and procedures and insider trading in our common stock;
|
|
●
|
involve
and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities;
|
|
●
|
maintain
a comprehensive internal audit function; and
|
|
●
|
maintain
an investor relations function.
|
Future
sales of our common stock, whether by us or our stockholders, could cause our stock price to decline.
If
our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the
trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our stockholders
might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock. A decline in the price of shares
of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or
other equity securities. In addition, the issuance and sale by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, or the perception that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading
price for our common stock as well as make future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of
shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants could further dilute the holdings of our
then existing stockholders.
Securities
analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.
The
trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent
analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If
no independent securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively
impacted. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades
our common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our
stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly,
demand for our common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock
price and trading volume to decline.
You
may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.
We
may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other
offering or other transactions at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by purchasers in
this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into
or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.
There
has been and may continue to be significant volatility in the volume and price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The
market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including timing, progress and results
of the development of our newly added bulk cargo container tracking services and our mobile application that will provide a full-service
logistics platform between the U.S. and the PRC for short-haul trucking in the U.S.; regulatory matters, concerns about our financial
position, operations results, litigation, government regulation, or developments or disputes relating to agreements or proprietary
rights, may have a significant impact on the market volume and price of our stock. Unusual trading volume in our shares occurs
from time to time.
We
have not paid and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. Investors in this offering may never obtain a return on
their investment.
We

operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the
foreseeable future. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors
and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions and future prospects
and other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Payments of dividends by Trans Pacific to our company are subject
to restrictions including primarily the restriction that foreign invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The
following discussion and analysis of our company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of selected events could differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. We do not undertake any
obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Overview
Sino-Global
has focused on providing customers with customized shipping agency and freight logistic services but has since begun looking aggressively
at diversifying its revenue and service mix by seeking new growth opportunities to expand its business due to increased margin
compression. These opportunities have ranged from complementary businesses to other service and product initiatives. In fiscal
year of 2021, while we continue to provide our current traditional logistics business, we will integrate the traditional business
with modern technology to develop a brand-new business model.
With
the hope of bringing us back to the shipping management business, on April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement
with Mr. Weijun Qin, CEO of a shipping management company in China, to set up a joint venture in New York named State Priests
Management Ltd. (“State Priests”), of which we hold 90% equity interest. On November 6, 2019, we signed a revised
cooperation agreement with Mr. Qin to restructure our equity interest in State Priests. Due to State Priests’ failure to
timely obtain the necessary approval from related authorities, Mr. Qin agreed to exchange 80% equity interest in Sea Continent
Management Ltd. (“Sea Continent”), another entity he owns, for 90% equity interest that we hold in State Priests.
Sea Continent already has the International Ship Safety Management certificate from the China Classification Society for its operations.
To
adapt to the changing China market, which has a high demand for agricultural products and agricultural by-products, one of the
Company’s business strategies is to provide services in connection with the purchase of the U.S agricultural products and
the shipment of these products to China using its overall supply chain logistics. On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into
a cooperation agreement with Mr. Shanming Liang, a director of Guangxi Jinqiao Industrial Group Co., Ltd., to set up a joint venture
in New York named LSM Trading Ltd. (“LSM Trading”) to engage in trading business, of which we hold 40% equity interest.
No investment has been made by the Company as of the date of this prospectus. LSM Trading will facilitate the purchase of the
agricultural commodities and agricultural by-products in the U.S. for customers in China and the Company will provide comprehensive
supply chain and logistics solutions.
Due
to uncertainty in current trade environment and the impact of novel coronavirus, the Company has not made any investment in the
aforementioned joint ventures and no significant operations has commenced. The Company has started shipping management services
by its US subsidiary through fiscal year 2020. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020
in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as
a pandemic. Given the continually expanding of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and U.S., our business, results of operations, and
financial condition are still adversely affected. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence
of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for us to estimate the impact on our business or operating results that might be adversely
affected by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19.
The
impacts of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, and results of operations include but are not limited to, the following:
|
●
|
Due to the recent
surge of COVID-19 cases, our U.S. office remains closed since March, 2020 and our employees have been working remotely from
home. Our office closure and limited activity had caused business interruption which led to a slower growth for our operations.
|
|
●
|
Our customers have
been negatively impacted by the pandemic, which continue to reduce demand for the shipping agency and management as well as
freight logistics services in fiscal year 2021. As a result, our revenue, gross profit and net income have been continually
impacted in fiscal year 2021. Our revenue and gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were down by approximately
$0.6 million, or 36.4%, and $1.1 million, or 96.2%, respectively.
|
|
●
|
Our suppliers have
been and could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, which may continually impact our cost of freight,
or result in higher cost of revenue, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results
in coming months.
|
On
April 6, 2020, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Mr. Kelin Wu, a PRC investor (the “Seller”) and Mandarine
Ocean Ltd (“Hanyang Shipping”), a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands, pursuant to which we agreed
to purchase 75% of the equity of Hanyang Shipping from the Seller for a purchase price of up to $3,750,000, payable in cash equivalent
and/or our restricted shares of common stock, subject to completion of a third-party valuation of Hanyang Shipping. On June 17,
2020, we entered into an amended share purchase agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Seller to acquire 75% of the
capital stock of Hanyang Shipping held by the Seller for an aggregate consideration of up to $1.5 million to be paid in cash and
the our restricted shares. On September 3, 2020, we and the Seller signed a termination agreement to terminate the Amendment mutually.
Neither party will owe the other party any termination penalty in connection with the termination agreement.
Company
Structure
The
Company, founded in 2001, is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solutions provider. We provide
tailored solutions and value-added services for our customers to drive efficiency and control in related steps throughout the
entire shipping and freight logistics chain. We conduct our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC
and the U.S., where a majority of our clients are located.
We
operate in three operating segments, including (1) shipping agency and management services, operated by our subsidiary in the
U.S.; (2) freight logistics services, operated by our subsidiaries in the PRC; and (3) container trucking services, operated by
our subsidiaries in the U.S.
Our
corporate structure diagram as of the date of this prospectus is as below:

Comparison
of the Three Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Revenues
decreased by $649,427, or approximately 36.4%, from $1,786,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,136,799 for
the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of revenue from several customer contracts for our shipping
management services and freight logistics services segments and no revenue generated from our container trucking services during
the period. One of our shipping management services contracts we entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2020 expired during the quarter and the performance of certain freight logistics services contacts, which we acted
as an agent and used net basis to account revenue, was delayed as our customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required
additional time to execute existing contracts, and as a result, we did not generate any revenue from these contracts for the three
months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was also due to the decrease in revenues from container trucking services as our
service contracts with customers had expired and there was no new business for this segment partly because of the stalled trade
negotiations between the U.S. and China.
The
following tables present summary information by segments mainly regarding the top-line financial results for the three months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:

Revenues
(1)
Shipping Agency and Management Services
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, shipping agency and management services generated revenues of $206,845 and
$500,000, respectively, representing an approximately 58.6% decrease in revenues. The decrease in this segment was because the
shipping management services agreement we entered with Qingdao Lizhou Ship Management Co., Ltd. starting in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2020 expired on June 30, 2020 and was not renewed due to the uncertainty of the shipping management market which
has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in revenue from shipping
agency services as we entered into a general shipping agency service agreement with Mandarine Bulk Ltd. (“Mandarine Bulk”)
as the sole general shipping agency in the fourth quarter of fiscal year of 2020. Our integrated services included arranging and
coordinating ship maintenance and inspection, repairs, and other services. With Sea Continent, our 80% owned joint venture, we
expect to perform more services such as ship insurance, crew recruitment, training and supply and ship spare parts sales. Due
to the current situation of COVID-19, any plans on the operation of Sea Continent have been postponed. Our gross margin decreased
to approximately 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately 80.8% for the same period in 2019. The
decrease was mainly because of the increase in the cost of revenue for shipping agency segment which included service fees from
subcontractors representing a much higher costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 than that in the same period of 2019
in which we provided shipping management service utilizing our operational staffs.
(2)
Revenues from Freight Logistics Services
Freight
logistics services primarily consist of cargo forwarding, brokerage and other freight services. During the three months ended
September 30, 2020, revenues decreased by $312,188 or approximately 25.1%. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that performance
of certain freight logistic contracts we entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 was delayed
as our customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts and as a
result, we did not generate any revenue from these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For those contracts,
we acted as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and did not control
the services rendered to the customer. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross revenue and gross cost of revenue
related to these contracts amounted to approximately $9.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. However, as we only acted as
an agent, our revenues on these contacts were accounted for on a net basis. For all the freight logistics services that we provided
to our clients for the three months ended September 30, 2020, we acted as principal and controlled the freight logistics services.
Our
gross profit margin decreased by approximately 54.6% from approximately 55.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to
approximately 1.3% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in gross margin was due to the following factors: 1) we control the
freight logistics services provided which usually have a lower margins than those aforementioned freight logistic contracts where
we acted as agents; 2) the cost of revenues for our PRC domestic and export services were higher for the three months ended September
30, 2020 than the same period in 2019 because of the uncertainty of the freight logistics export market and the fact that our
freight carriers have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in other countries.
(3)
Revenues from Container Trucking Services
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues generated from container trucking services were nil and $44,084,
respectively. Overall revenues from this segment decreased by $44,084 or 100.0%. The decrease in revenues from this segment was
primarily due to expiration of container trucking services contracts with our customers as the pending trade negotiations between
the U.S. and China. The related gross profit decreased by $4,186 from $4,186 gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2019 to
nil for the same period in 2020. We do not expect an increase in revenue from this segment in the foreseeable future due to the
current U.S.-China trade dynamics. However, we plan to continue to provide services on an as needed basis on short-term contracts.

Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues consisted primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers, cost of labor, other overhead and sundry costs.
Cost of revenues was $1,095,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $411,822, or approximately 60.3%,
as compared to $683,404 for the same period in 2019. The overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues increased from
approximately 38.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, to approximately 96.3% for the same period in 2020. The increase
of costs was mainly due to the fact that the costs of our PRC domestic and export services to our freight carriers were higher
for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 as our freight carriers have been negatively
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic so the unit price our freight carriers charged us for domestic logistics services was increased.
In addition, for certain export contracts that were delayed by the pandemic in fiscal year 2020, the Company incurred higher costs
to reschedule and fulfil those orders in the first quarter of 2021. Starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal year of 2020, we
began to provide shipping agency service agreement for Mandarine Bulk as the sole general shipping agency. The increase of costs
was also because we just started shipping agency service, and the costs for shipping agency which included service fees from subcontractors
were higher in 2020 than that in 2019 in which we provided shipping management service utilizing our operational staffs.
Selling
Expenses
Our
selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries and travel expenses for our sales representatives. For the three months ended
September 30, 2020, 2020, we had $68,930 of selling expenses, as compared to $130,029 for the same period in 2019, which represents
a decrease of $61,099 or approximately 47.0%. The decrease was mainly due to approximately $61,000 decrease in salaries and travel
expenses as we have less employees and limited activities for our selling team under COVID-19 comparing to the same period of
2019.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, travel expenses for administration department,
office expenses, regulatory filing and professional service fees including audit, legal and IT consulting. For the three months
ended September 30, 2020, we had $703,434 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $1,091,455 for the same period
in 2019, representing a decrease of $388,021, or approximately 35.6%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in IT expenses
of approximately $108,000, the decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $74,000 as some of our fixed assets have been
fully depreciated and the decrease in salaries and travel expenses of approximately $206,000 due to we have less employees and
limited activity under COVID-19 comparing to the same period of 2019.
Impairment
loss of fixed assets and intangible asset
For
the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $327,632 of impairment loss of fixed assets and intangible asset due to
the continued decrease in revenues generated from the freight logistics services, inland transportation management services and
container trucking services segments. There was no such transaction for three months ended September 30, 2020.
Provision
for Doubtful Accounts, net of recovery
We
made $30,757 provision for doubtful accounts and offset by the recoveries of accounts receivable of $2,404 and other receivable
- related party of $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,025,694 provision for doubtful accounts
and offset by the recoveries of accounts receivable of $99,366 and other receivable - related party of $37,250 for the same period
in 2019, an decrease of $870,725, or approximately 97.9%. This decrease of provision for doubtful accounts was mainly due to the
decrease in revenue and collections of prior outstanding account receivables.
Stock-based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation was nil for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $414,708 or 100.0%, as compared to $414,708
for the same period in 2019. Stock-based compensation decreased significantly from the three months ended September 30, 2019 to
the same period in 2020 due to no stock award was granted as a result of the decline in revenue.
Operating
loss
We
had an operating loss of $749,144 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,750,080 for the same period in
2019. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.
Taxation
We
recorded no income tax expense for both three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
We
have incurred a cumulative U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) of approximately $6,456,000 as of June 30, 2020,
which may reduce future federal taxable income. The NOL generated prior to the year ended June 30, 2017 amounted to approximately
$1,400,000 will expire in 2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely. During the three months ended September
30, 2020, approximately $549,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $115,000.
Our
operations in China have incurred a cumulative a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,961,000 as of June 30, 2020, which may reduce
future taxable income. The NOL amounted to approximately $675,000 start expiring from 2023 and the remaining balance of NOL will
be expired by 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $3,000 of additional NOL was generated and
the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $1,000.
We
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. Management considers new evidence,
both positive and negative, that could affect our future realization of 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.
We determined that it is more likely than not our deferred tax assets could not be realized due to uncertainty on future earnings
as a result of the deterioration of trade negotiation between the U.S. and China. We provided a 100% allowance for its deferred
tax assets as of September 30, 2020. The net increase in valuation for the three months ended September 30, 2020 amounted to approximately
$270,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be
realized.
Net
loss
As
a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $748,456 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,748,624
for the same period in 2019. After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to the Company was $733,791
for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,627,353 for the same period in 2019. Comprehensive loss attributable
to the Company was $542,540 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $2,273,564 for the same period in 2019.
Comparison
of the Years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Revenues
Revenues
decreased by $35,235,091 or approximately 84.4%, from $41,771,047 for the year ended June 30, 2019 to $6,535,956 for the same
period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that in certain freight logistics contracts that we entered into with
customers starting from the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, we only acted as an agent and did not control the services rendered
to the customers as we are not the primary responsible party to fulfill the services in order to reduce possible risks as a result
of the uncertainties in current trade environments. As such our revenues on these contracts are accounted for on a net basis.
The decrease was also due to the decrease in revenues from inland transportation management services as our service contracts
with customers have expired and there was no new business for this segment. In addition, as a result of COVID-19, which caused
business interruption staring third quarter of fiscal year 2020 had slowed our revenue growth than expected across all segments.

Shipping Agency and Management Services
For
the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, shipping agency and management services generated revenues of $2,105,651 and $2,093,680,
respectively, representing an approximately 0.6% increase in revenues. The increase in this segment was because we entered into
a general shipping agency service agreement with Mandarine Bulk as the sole general shipping agency and a shipping management
services agreement with Qingdao Lizhou Ship Management Co., Ltd. for the year ended June 30, 2020. Our integrated services included
arranging and coordinating ship maintenance and inspection, repairs, and other services. With Sea Continent, our 80% owned joint
venture, we expect to perform more services such as ship insurance, crew recruitment, training and supply and ship spare parts
sales. Our gross margin increased to 60.7% for the year ended June 30, 2020 from 9.5% for the same period in 2019. The increase
was mainly because we started to provide shipping management service utilizing our operational staffs in 2020 as compared to the
2019 cost of revenue for shipping agency which included service fees from subcontractors at a much higher costs.
(2)
Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services
For
the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, inland transportation management services generated related-party revenue of $0 and $433,383,
respectively. Revenue generated from Tengda Northwest Ferroalloy Co., Ltd. (“Tengda Northwest”) for the years ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $0 and $1,036,416, respectively. The overall decrease in revenues generated from this segment
amounted to $1,469,799 or 100.0% due to the expiration of our inland transportation management service contracts with the aforementioned
customers. We expect limited growth in this segment in the coming years due to the current trade dynamics.
(3)
Revenues from Freight Logistics Services
Freight
logistics services primarily consist of cargo forwarding, brokerage and other freight services. During the year ended June 30,
2020, revenues decreased by $33,356,540 or approximately 88.4%. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that in certain freight
logistic contracts that we entered into with customers starting from the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, we acted as an agent
in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and did not control the services rendered
to the customer. For the year ended June 30, 2020, gross revenue and gross cost of revenue related to these contracts amounted
to approximately $25.8 million and $24.3 million, respectively. However, as we only acted as an agent, our revenues on these contacts
were accounted for on a net basis.
Our
gross profit margin increased by approximately 24.9% from approximately 11.1% for year ended June 30, 2019 to approximately 36.0%
for the same period in 2020. The increase in gross margin was due to the following factors: 1) the aforementioned freight logistic
contracts where we acted as agents usually have lower margins than those where we control the services provided; 2) change in
the mix of services provided. Even with the same customer, every transaction has a unique gross margin due to differing service
scopes. Generally, an engagement where we provide a broader set of services generates a higher gross margin, and an engagement
of a more limited scope of services has a lower gross margin.
(4)
Revenues from Container Trucking Services
For
the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues generated from container trucking services were $61,709 and $482,432, respectively.
Overall revenues from this segment decreased by $420,723 or approximately 87.2%. The decrease in revenues from this segment was
primarily due to the pending trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, which decreased container shipments from China to
the U.S. The related gross profit decreased by $48,592 from $54,987 gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2019 to $6,395 for
the same period in 2020. Gross profit margin for both periods remained relatively consistent.
Operating
Costs and Expenses
Operating
costs and expenses decreased by $23,467,433 or approximately 49.2%, from $47,741,493 for the year ended June 30, 2019 to $24,274,060
for the year ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in cost of revenue, selling expenses, general and
administrative expenses and stock-based compensation as discussed below.

Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues consisted primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers, cost of labor, other overhead and sundry costs.
Cost of revenues was $3,678,863 for the year ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $32,327,647, or approximately 89.8%, as compared
to $36,006,510 for the same period in 2019. The overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues decreased from approximately
86.2% for the year ended June 30, 2019, to approximately 56.3% for the same period in 2020. Cost of revenues for freight logistics
and container trucking services consists primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers. The decrease of costs was mainly
due to the aforementioned certain freight logistic contracts in which only acted as an agent and did not control the services
rendered to the customers for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Selling
Expenses
Our
selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries and travel expenses for our sales representatives. For the year ended June 30,
2020, we had $393,617 of selling expenses, as compared to $718,754 for the same period in 2019, which represents a decrease of
$325,137 or approximately 45.2%. The decrease was mainly due to approximately $299,000 decrease in business development expenses
as limited activities for our selling team under COVID-19.
General
and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, travel expenses for administration department,
software development expenses, office expenses, regulatory filing and professional service fees including audit, legal and IT
consulting. For the year ended June 30, 2020, we had $3,386,690 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $4,344,435
for the same period in 2019, representing a decrease of $957,745, or approximately 22.0%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease
in IT expenses of approximately $601,000, the decrease in professional service fees of approximately $131,000 as we incurred less
expenses on management consulting and advisory services and the decrease in travel and office expenses of approximately $497,000
as we incurred less travel and office expenses due to our office closure and limited activity under COVID-19. The decrease
was offset by the approximately $271,000 increase in depreciation and amortization expenses.
Impairment
loss of fixed assets and intangible asset
For
the year ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $327,632 of impairment loss of fixed assets and intangible asset due to the continued
decrease in revenues generated from the inland transportation management segment. There was no such transaction for year ended
June 30, 2019.
Impairment
loss of deposit for leasehold improvement
For
the year ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a $425,068 impairment loss on the deposit as we paid a $422,381 deposit for leasehold
improvements on our IT infrastructure facility including upgrading the server room of its Shanghai office. The design plan for
the leasehold improvement was not approved by the building management due to power supply issues and we planned to move the IT
infrastructure facility to our Ningbo office. There was no such transaction for year ended June 30, 2020.
Provision
for Doubtful Accounts
We
made $15,051,209 provision for doubtful accounts and offset by the recoveries of accounts receivable of $99,366 and other receivable
- related party of $41,341 for the year ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3,978,893 with no recovery for the same period in 2019,
an increase of $10,931,609, or approximately 274.7%. This increase of provision for doubtful accounts was mainly because the recent
outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected our customers’ business operations, which in turn adversely affected our ability
to collect accounts receivable and other receivables from our customers.
Stock-based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation was $1,576,756 for the year ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $691,077 or approximately 30.5%, as compared to $2,267,833
for the same period in 2019. Stock-based compensation decreased significantly from the year ended June 30, 2019 to the same period
in 2020 due to less stock award was granted as a result of the decline in revenue as well as lower average stock prices in the
year ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Operating
Loss
We
had an operating loss of $17,738,104 for the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to an operating loss of $5,970,446 for the same
period in 2019. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.
Taxation
We
recorded an income tax expense of $186,021 for the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to income tax expense of $920,869 for the
same period in 2019. For the year ended June 30, 2020, income tax decreased by $734,848 or approximately 79.8%, as compare to
the same period in 2019 due to the decrease in taxable income, mainly in the Company’s PRC entity conducting freight logistic
services.
We
have incurred a cumulative U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) of approximately $3,781,000 as of June 30, 2019,
which may reduce future federal taxable income. The NOL generated prior to the year ended June 30, 2017 amounted to approximately
$1,400,000 will expire in 2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely. During the year ended June 30, 2020, approximately
$2,675,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $562,000.
Our
operations in China have incurred a cumulative a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,828,000 as of June 30, 2019, which may reduce
future taxable income. The NOL amounted to approximately $281,000 start expiring from 2021 and the remaining balance of NOL will
be expired by 2025. During the year ended June 30, 2020, approximately $133,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit
derived from such NOL was approximately $33,000.
We
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. Management considers new evidence,
both positive and negative, that could affect our future realization of 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.
We determined that it is more likely than not our deferred tax assets could not be realized due to uncertainty on future earnings
as a result of the deterioration of trade negotiation between the U.S. and China. We provided a 100% allowance for its deferred
tax assets as of June 30, 2020. The net increase in valuation for the year ended June 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $3,861,000
based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
Net
Loss
As
a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $17,928,647 for the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to $7,012,113 for the same
period in 2019. After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to the Company was $16,452,894 for the
year ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6,533,844 for the same period in 2019. Comprehensive loss attributable to the Company was
$16,943,111 for the year ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6,932,543 for the same period in 2019.

In
assessing the liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity
needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30,
2020, our working capital deficit was approximately $3.6 million and we had cash of approximately $1.0 million. We plan to fund
continuing operations through identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic alliance opportunities for new
revenue sources, and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. We believe our ability to repay
our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated
from our operations.
We
believe that we will require a minimum of approximately $1.6 million cash over the next twelve months to operate at our current
level, either from revenues or funding. Based on our current revenue and expense projection, we believe we will generate at least
the same amount of revenue in the coming year compared to the current year as we and the market are both recovering from the impact
of the pandemic. In addition, we entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase
860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock in November 2020. The aggregate proceeds was approximately $1.4 million.
If our revenue does not achieve our expected level, we will also be implementing cost saving measures to reduce its operating
cash outflow.
We
expect to realize the balance of our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If we are unable
to realize our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, we may have to consider supplementing
our available sources of funds through the following sources:
|
●
|
we
will continuously seek equity financing to support our working capital. On September 17, 2020, we entered into certain securities
purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares at a per share purchase price of $1.46 for aggregate
proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. The full amount of proceeds have been received. On November 2 and November 3, 2020, we
entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible
preferred stock at a per share purchase price of $1.66 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.43 million. The Company has
received the full amount of payment in November 2020.
|
|
●
|
other available
sources of financing from small business administration, PRC banks and other financial institutions; and
|
|
●
|
financial support
and credit guarantee commitments from our stockholders and directors.
|
Based
on the above considerations, we are of the opinion that we has sufficient funds to meet our future liquidity requirements for
at least twelve months from the date of this prospectus. We have considered whether there is a going concern issue due to our
continuing losses. Based upon the continuing equity financing from investors and credit guarantee support from its stockholders
to provide the necessary funds to us to continue its operations should the need arise, we believe that it has alleviated the going
concern issue.
Cash
Flows and Working Capital (June 30, 2020)

our working capital deficit was approximately $3.9 million and we had cash of approximately $0.1 million. We plan to fund continuing
operations through identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources,
and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. We believe our ability to repay our current obligations
will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated from our operations.
We
expect to realize the balance of our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If we are unable
to realize our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, we may have to consider supplementing
our available sources of funds through the following sources:

we will continuously
seek equity financing to support our working capital. On November 13, 2019, we entered into a share purchase agreement with
Shanming Liang, director of Guangxi Jinqiao Industrial Group Co., Ltd., to purchase 200,000 shares of the our common stock
at a purchase price of $5.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $1.0 million. We received gross proceeds of $940,131 for
fiscal year 2020. From July to September 2020, we received remaining proceeds of $59,869. The full amount of subscription
receivable have been paid off.

On
September 17, 2020, we entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares
at a per share purchase price of $1.46 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. On September 21 and September 22,
2020, we received total gross proceeds of approximately $1.05 million.

Based
on the above considerations, we are of the opinion that we will not have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements
and current liabilities as they become due one year from the date of this prospectus. Additionally, there is no assurance we will
be successful in our plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine our plans, such as
changes in PRC government policy, economic conditions, and competitive pricing in the industries that we operate in.
Our
management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to 1) our recurring
losses from operations, including approximately $16.5 million net loss attributable to our stockholders for the year ended June
30, 2020, 2) accumulated deficit of approximately $23.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and 3) has negative operating cash flows of
approximately $3.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2020. All of these factors raised substantial doubt about the ability of
us to continue as a going concern.
Operating
Activities
Our
net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The operating
cash outflow for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $0.7 million, adjusted
by non-cash items of approximately $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization expenses of fixed assets and intangible asset.
We had an increase in other receivables of approximately $0.1 million offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in accrued
expenses and other current liabilities as we have more salary and reimbursement payable, and a decrease approximately $0.1 million
of due from related parties as a result of collections made during the year.
Our
net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The operating
cash outflow for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $1.7 million,
of which approximately $0.4 million of stock compensation expense, approximately $0.3 million of impairment loss of fixed assets
and intangible asset and approximately $0.9 million for provision of doubtful accounts were non-cash expenses. We had an increase
in other receivables of approximately $5.4 million as we prepaid certain costs of commodities on behalf of our customers, offset
by a decrease of approximately $2.2 million in accounts receivable as a result of collections made during the three months.
Our

of notes receivable and approximately $0.4 million of due from related parties as a result of collections made during the year.
Our
net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2019. The increase in operating
cash outflow is primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $7.0 million, of which approximately $2.3 million of stock
compensation expense and approximately $4.0 million for provision of doubtful accounts were non-cash expenses. We had an increase
of approximately $2.6 million in accounts receivable due to increase in sales, an increase of approximately $2.9 million in long-term
deposits, an increase in advances to third party suppliers of approximately $3.7 million offset by the decrease in advances to
related party supplier as we collected a reimbursement of approximately $3.3 million from Zhiyuan Hong Kong, and a decrease in
prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $1.4 million, which mainly consisted of software development costs
and other related consulting fees incurred during the year ended June 30, 2019, and a decrease of approximately $1.4 million due
from related parties.

from issuance of common stock to a private investor.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require
us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates
based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding
the future based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.
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
related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value,
clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. We
adopted this ASU on July 1, 2020 and the adoption has no significant impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as a whole.
There
have been no other material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2020 in our significant accounting policies from
those previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.
We
believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation
of our financial statements.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the U.S. (“US GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of us and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Sino-Global
Shipping Agency Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Sino-China”), is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”),
with us as the primary beneficiary. We, through Trans Pacific Shipping Ltd., entered into certain agreements with Sino-China,
pursuant to which we receive 90% of Sino-China’s net income.
As
a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in our total revenues, and any income/loss from operations is consolidated with
that of us. Because of contractual arrangements between us and Sino-China, we have a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires
consolidation of the financial statements of us and Sino-China.
We
have consolidated Sino-China’s operating results in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
810-10, “Consolidation.” The agency relationship between us and Sino-China and its branches is governed by a series
of contractual arrangements pursuant to which we have substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments
of whether we remain the primary beneficiary of Sino-China.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 our consolidated financial statements
include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment
loss, deferred income taxes, income tax expense and the useful lives of property and equipment. The inputs into our judgments
and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on our critical and significant accounting estimates. Since the use
of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue which represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which we expect to be entitled in such exchange. We identified 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. Our
revenue streams are recognized at a point in time.
We
use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that we (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) we satisfy
the performance obligation.
We
continue to derive revenues from sales contracts with 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. Our revenues are recognized at
a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied.
Contract
balances
We
record receivables related to revenue when we have an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Deferred
revenue consists primarily of customer billings made in advance of performance obligations being satisfied and revenue being recognized.
Taxation
Because
we and our subsidiaries and Sino-China were incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. We
use the asset and 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 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.
We
recognize 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. We recognize interest and penalties,
if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. We had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2020 and
2019.
Income
tax returns for the years prior to 2016 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.
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 and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax
Laws of the PRC.
PRC
Value Added Taxes and Surcharges
We
are subject to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from services provided by the our PRC subsidiaries and affiliates,
including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to VAT at rates ranging from 9% to 13%. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers
are allowed to offset qualified VAT paid to suppliers against their VAT liability. Net VAT liability is recorded in taxes payable
on the consolidated balance sheets.
In
addition, under the PRC regulations, our PRC subsidiaries and affiliates are required to pay the city construction tax (7%) and
education surcharges (3%) based on the net VAT payments.
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our
own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future
based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements
adopted
Effective
July 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require
us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired
or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer,
a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. We also adopted the
practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. We
recognized lease liabilities of approximately $0.3 million, with corresponding ROU assets of approximately the same amount based
on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using a weighted average discount rate of 8.98%.
On
July 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-07 where awards to nonemployees are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments
to be issued. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires
goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards which superseded
ASU 505-50. The ASU is required to be applied on a prospective basis to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. We
adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019 and the adoption has no significant impact to our consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Pronouncements
not yet adopted
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
related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value,
clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU
2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. We do not believe the adoption
of this ASU will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for
the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology.
The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments
to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually
assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial
Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’
concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at
amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information
by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief
also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement
users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date
of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit
losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2023, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2023
assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new
standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new
standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”.
The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles
in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying
and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July
1, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities
for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an
interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally,
an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. We are currently evaluating the impact
of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal
executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
As
of September 30, 2020, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of its management,
including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, Chief Executive Officer
and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required
to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated
to the management, including Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. The assessment stemmed from the following material weaknesses –
|
●
|
Lack of segregation
of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries;
|
|
●
|
Lack of resources
with technical competency to review and record non-routine or complex transactions; and
|
|
●
|
Lack of a full time
U.S. GAAP personnel in the accounting department to monitor the recording of the transactions.
|
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of
the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
BUSINESS
Overview
Sino-Global
Shipping America, Ltd. (“Sino,” the “Company,” or “we”), a Virginia corporation, was founded
in the U.S. in 2001. Sino is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider. Sino provides
tailored solutions and value-added services to its customers to drive effectiveness and control in related aspects throughout
the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. We operate in four operating segments, including (1) shipping agency and management
services, operated by our subsidiary in Hong Kong and the U.S.; (2) inland transportation management services, operated by our
subsidiaries in the U.S.; (3) freight logistics services, operated by our subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.; and (4) container
trucking services, operated by our subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.
We
conduct our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and the U.S., where a majority
of our clients are located.
Corporate
History and Our Business Segments
Since
inception in 2001 and through our fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, our sole business was providing shipping agency services. In
general, we provided two types of shipping agency services: loading/discharging services and protective agency services, in which
we acted as a general agent to provide value added solutions to our customers. For loading/discharging agency services, we received
the total payment from our customers in U.S. dollars and paid the port charges on behalf of our customers in RMB. For protective
agency services, we charged a fixed amount as agent fee while customers are responsible for the payment of port costs and expenses.
Under these circumstances, we generally required a portion of a customer’s payment in advance and billed the remaining balance
within 30 days after the transaction was completed. We believe the most significant factors that directly or indirectly affected
our shipping agency service revenues were:
|
●
|
the number of ship-times
to which we provide port loading/discharging services;
|
|
●
|
the size and types
of ships we serve;
|
|
●
|
the type of services
we provide;
|
|
●
|
the rate of service
fees we charge;
|
|
●
|
the number of ports
at which we provide services; and
|
|
●
|
the number of customers
we serve.
|
In
January 2016, we expanded our business to freight logistics service to provide import security filing services with U.S. Customs
and Department of Homeland Security, on behalf of importers who ship goods into the U.S. and also providing inland transportation
services to these importers in the U.S.
In
fiscal year 2017, we also expanded into container trucking services as new business sectors to provide related transportation
logistics services to customers in the U.S. and in China. We have signed a cooperation agreement with Sino-Trans Guangxi Logistics
Co. Ltd., which is a state-owned enterprise of China, with a service period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020, to provide
freight logistics services and container trucking services to them in the U.S. To ensure effective and high-quality services provided
to our customers in the U.S., we established a joint venture, ACH Trucking Center Corp., in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 with
a U.S. local freight forwarder, Jetta Global Logistics Inc. The joint venture ended in December 2017 and we continue to operate
our trucking business through our other subsidiaries. Since ACH Center’s operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s
consolidated revenue and the termination did not constitute a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s
operations and financial results, the results of operations for ACH Center was not reported as discontinued operations in the
financial statements.
As
an effort to further diversify our business, in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we have developed our bulk cargo container
services segment. Bulk cargo container shipment refers to using containers to ship commodities that traditionally are shipped
by freight cargo. Freight cargo rate is usually lower than that of container freight rate; however, the transit time is much longer
and has high minimum quantity requirements. With the Chinese government banning the import of environmental wastes by the end
of 2017, the empty container rate of COSCO Group’s container shipping from the U.S. to China has been further reduced. Therefore
with the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement COSCO Shipping Beijing International Freight Co., Ltd., we are able to take
advantage of the low container rate to jointly promote bulk cargo container transportation. Revenue from bulk cargo container
services amounted to $638,227 for the fiscal 2018 while we didn’t have such business in 2017. We temporarily suspended to
provide this service in fiscal year 2019 due to market environment factors in 2019 and have continued this suspension in light
of the worldwide impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
In
the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ningbo Saimeinuo Supply Chain Management Ltd. which
primarily engages in transportation management and freight logistics services.
Starting
with fiscal year 2019, current trade dynamics have made it more expensive for shipping carrier clients to cost-effectively move
cargo into U.S. ports, and as a result, we realized a lower shipping volumes and less utilization of its online platform, which
has caused us to shift our focus back 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 cooperation 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 a 51% equity interest in the joint venture. On May 23, 2019, Bright Far East International
Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. was incorporated in New York and its registration in Hong Kong was terminated. There have been no major
operations of the joint venture for the year ended June 30, 2020. Currently, we are conducting the shipping agency business through
our wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary.
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. (“State Priests”),
in which the Company will hold a 20% equity interest. On July 26, 2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with
Mr. Weijun Qin, which changed the Company’s equity interest in State Priests from 20% to 90%. The Company has not provided
any cash contribution to the joint venture and there has been no operation of the joint venture pending the International Ship
Safety Management Certificate from the China Classification Society (the “Certificate”). As of the date of this filing,
the Company has not yet received the Certificate. Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. started providing shipping management related
services that do not require certification, which include arranging and coordinating for ship maintenance and inspection this
quarter.
On
November 6, 2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin to restructure their equity interest
in State Priests. Given that State Priests failed to timely obtain the necessary approval from related authorities, Mr. Weijun
Qin agreed to exchange 80% equity interest in Sea Continent, another New York entity Mr. Qin owns for the Company’s 90%
equity interest in State Priests. The equity transfer has been consummated. Sea Continent already has the Certificate but has
no operations as of June 30, 2020. There has been no capital injection nor operations of State Priests and Sea Continent as of
June 30, 2020; therefore, no gain or loss has been recognized in the transaction.
On
January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Shanming Liang, a shareholder of the Company, to set
up a joint venture in New York named LSM Trading Ltd., in which the Company holds a 40% equity interest. No investment has been
made by the Company as of the date of this prospectus. The new joint venture will facilitate the purchase agricultural related
commodities in the U.S. for customers in China and the Company will provide comprehensive supply chain and logistics solutions.
On
April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Mr. Kelin Wu and Mandarine Ocean Ltd (“Mandarine”),
a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands, to purchase 75% of the equity of Mandarine from Mr. Wu for a purchase price
of up to USD 3,750,000, payable in cash equivalent and/or restricted shares of common stock of the Company. On June 17, 2020,
the parties amended the stock purchase agreement to reduce the purchase price and related changes to be up to USD 1,500,000. On
September 3, 2020, the Company and Mr. Wu signed a termination agreement to terminate the amended stock purchase agreement. Neither
party owes the other party any termination penalty in connection with the termination. The transfer of equity and issuance of
stock contemplated in the amended stock purchase agreement have not occurred and no party has any obligation to transfer or to
pay any amount to any other party under the Amendment.
After
the close of the stock market on July 7, 2020, the Company effected a l-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock to maintain
its listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result all common stock share amounts included in this filing
have been retroactively reduced by a factor of five, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of
five. Amounts affected include common stock outstanding, including those that have resulted from the stock options, and warrants
that convert to common stock.
On
September 17, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain “non-U.S. Persons” as defined
in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 720,000
shares of the common stock, and warrants to purchase 720,000 shares of common stock at a per share purchase price of $1.46. The
offering closed on September 23, 2020. The net proceeds to the Company from such offering were approximately $1.05 million.
The
outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020 in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the
world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic and has resulted in quarantines, travel
restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and the U.S. for the past few months. Given
the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations
and its workforce are concentrated in China and the U.S., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition
have been adversely affected for the year ended June 30, 2020.

With
the establishment of our subsidiary in Los Angeles, we added cargo forwarding services to our service platform in the second quarter
of fiscal 2017, which is included in our inland transportation business line for the year ended June 30, 2016. As we are developing
our cargo forwarding services, the Company provides freight logistics services and container trucking services as two new business
segments in fiscal 2017. During fiscal year 2018, the Company began to provide bulk cargo container services to the customers.
On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Shanming Liang, a director of Guangxi Jinqiao Industrial
Group Co., Ltd., to cooperate and expand the bulk cargo container services business.
Our
Goals and Strategic Plan
By
leveraging our fine reputation, extensive business relationships, technical ability and in-depth knowledge of the shipping industry,
our goal is to further strengthen our position as a leading global logistics solution provider who offers innovative resolutions
to better address complex issues in different aspects in the entire shipping and freight logistics chain.
We
historically focused our business on providing our customers with customized shipping agency services. In the past, our business
came predominately from our strong business relationships with our key strategic partners in China. To reduce our dependency on
a single business line, we have leveraged, and will continue to leverage, our business relationships with strategic partners to
introduce new service offerings to the market and to diversify our business. Our strategic plan for the next five years is to
continue to diversify our service mix and actively seek new growth opportunities to expand our business footprint in the U.S.
market to reduce our dependency on the revenue generated from China. For decades, the shipping industry has been operated under
traditional business models without many meaningful changes. Today, technological innovation has already played a big role in
changing every conventional industry. We believe the internet will be a big part of the future logistics chain services and a
transformative era in shipping and freight logistics business is coming. As an innovative solution provider, we plan to apply
our technical ability, industry expertise and cutting-edge information technology in the conventional shipping business to better
connect supply and demand and to develop seamless linkages in logistics chains.
As
a result of our plan to diversify, we continued to provide on inland transportation management services and logistics between
the U.S. and China, such as providing freight logistics services, container trucking services and bulk cargo container services.
During this process, we will continue to adjust and develop our strategic plans based on the change of business environment.
However,
with our decades of experience in shipping agency business and solid business relationships with Baosteel Group and Shougang Group,
who are among the biggest importers of iron ore in China, we believe it is to the Company’s best interest to redirect our
focus on this segment in 2019 based on our assessment of current global trading environments. To our understanding, we are one
of few shipping agents specialized in providing a full range of general shipping agency services in China and the only shipping
agency company listed on a public exchange in the U.S. while other shipping agencies are much smaller and more fragmented. With
the setup of the Ningbo joint venture, we are able to use our resources such as our customer base, our currently developing IT
infrastructure and our business insight to build a global network of shipping agencies. In addition, our current business segments
like freight logistics and container trucking can also be integrated and enable us to provide more comprehensive logistics services
for our customers.
Our
plan is to develop a shipping agency network in China and South East Asia for the next three years and expand our shipping agency
network worldwide. We plan to build the network through acquisitions or strategic partnership with other shipping agencies. Our
shipping agency business will be mostly conducted through our China, Hong Kong and Australia subsidiaries.
In
fiscal year 2020, we entered into a general shipping agency service agreement with Mandarine Bulk as the sole general shipping
agency and a shipping management services agreement with Qingdao Lizhou Ship Management Co., Ltd. We have expanded our business
to increase sales revenue in the U.S. and get more customers who can settle in U.S. dollars.
In
fiscal 2021, while we continue to provide our current traditional logistics business, we will integrate the traditional business
with modern technology to develop a brand-new business model. On September 27, 2020, we signed a memorandum with EMB Technology
Co., LTD (“EMB”). Our company and EMB will combine the advantages of traditional logistics business/new technology
and match the marketing economic requirements of the post-covid-19 world, gathering our many years of industry experience and
customer group, with big data analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning technologies, research and development platforms
for the new business model, joint business partner’s data interface, to change the traditional business model from delivery
to businesses into delivery directly to customers. At the same time, we plan to strengthen the research and development force
to complete the transformation of the company’s business model and profit model step by step. After deep market research
and demand analysis, with the actual situation in North America, iterative developing a certain popular App of high customer coupling,
easy to form the functional industrial chain and derivative products and related services. We also expect to make achievements
in the remote service industry include the service industry of enterprise portal, and the service industry of ERP customization/implementation/maintenance
for small and medium-sized businesses, try to create a new milestone in the company’s business.
Our
Customers
In
light of our strategic relationship with Zhiyuan Investment Group that began with the signing of a 5-year global logistics service
agreement in June 2013, we expanded our business platform to include additional service offerings. We started to provide inland
transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. As
we continue to diversify our service platform, we endeavor to reduce our dependency on a few customers for which we provide freight
logistics, container trucking services, and shipping agency services. Our main customers in the freight logistic service segment
include Shanghai Baoding Energy Ltd. and Chongqing Iron & Steel Ltd. Our main customer of shipping agency and management service
are Mandarine Bulk and Qingdao Lizhou Ship Management Co., Ltd. We began to provide services to Mandarine Bulk and Qingdao Lizhou
Ship Management Co., Ltd. since fiscal year 2020.

Our
Strengths
We
believe that the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:
|
●
|
Proven industry
experience and problem-solving reputation. We are a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics solution provider.
We provide tailored solutions and value-added services to our customers to drive effectiveness and control in related aspects
throughout the entire shipping and freight logistic chain. We believe that our years of successful track record of applying
integrated solutions to complex issues in the global shipping logistics business gives us a competitive advantage in attracting
large clients and helps us maintain strong long terms business relationship with them.
|
|
●
|
Strong leadership
and a competent professional team. Our CEO is an industry veteran with more than thirty years of extensive industry experience
including ten years working for COSCO, one of the largest shipping companies in the world. Most of our employees have marine
business experience, and many of our managers/chief operators served in other large Chinese shipping companies prior to joining
us. With these professionals and experienced staff, we believe that we provide the best services to our customers at competitive
prices.
|
|
●
|
Extensive network
and positive industry recognition. Doing business in China often requires a strong business network and support of key
strategic partners. The Company served as one of the executive directors of China Association of Shipping Agencies & Non-Vessel-Operating
Common Carriers (CASA), the authoritative industry association in China. We are the only non-state-owned enterprise represented
on the CASA board guiding the development of the industry. Our good reputation and industry recognition enables us to maintain
strong relationships with our business partners and have an extensive network of contacts throughout the industry, which helps
us gain necessary support to execute our business plans.
|
|
●
|
Lean organization
and a flexible business model. Although we are a small business with limited resources, we have a cohesive and effective
organizational structure with the goal of maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. Our unique flexible business model
allows us to quickly respond to changing market demand and offer our customers innovative problem-solving solutions, quality
customer service, and competitive prices to achieve greater market acceptance and gain additional market share.
|
|
●
|
U.S.-registered
and NASDAQ-listed public company. We believe our status as a U.S. corporation gives us more credibility among existing
and potential customers, suppliers, and other business partners than a privately owned company would have in our industry.
Our ability to raise capital through the capital market or use our common stock as “currency” to facility potential
merger and acquisition transactions can also help us carry out or accelerate our growth strategies.
|
Our
Opportunities
For
more than thirty years, the shipping and freight logistics industry has been operated under traditional business models without
meaningful change. Many of these business practices are inefficient and problematic; therefore, maintaining an innovative mindset
is critical to achieving continuous business success and growth. We are a value-added logistics solution provider with successful
past performance and individuals that have been in the industry for a long time. Instead of playing the traditional logistics
broker role, we focus on providing technology solutions and innovative leading-edge services to bridge the asset-based world with
the digital world. We shape our industry practice and profit model by analyzing wider developments both in the global markets
and the technology industry so we can address unique problems that are currently pervasive across the shipping and freight logistics
industry.
We
believe we can capture the business opportunity and grow our business organically or through acquisitions or strategic alliance
by:
|
●
|
Continuing to streamline
our business operations and improve our operating efficiency through innovative technology, effective planning, budgeting,
execution and cost control;
|
|
●
|
Diversifying our
business to focus on providing innovative technology based solution to our customers to promote our sustainable business growth;
|
|
●
|
The current market
of China’s shipping agency industry is mature comparing to what it was ten years ago when the shipping agency industry
was fueled by the massive construction of China’s infrastructure, yet the over-supply of shipping agencies has also
shrunk the profits of the industry. Many shipping agencies were constrained by the small size and the limited services. We
have the professionalism and are the pioneers and leaders in the shipping agency industry in China. SINO is a NASDAQ-listed
company that already has more flexibility in capital raise comparing to companies that are not on a U.S. major stock exchange
or private companies. We already have a network that covers the US East coast, West coast, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Beijing,
and Ningbo. We maintain strong relationships with customers and market resources. The current shipping agency market is more
competitive yet enable companies like us who has better resources in this market niche to expand.
|
Our
Challenges
We
face significant challenges when executing our strategy, including:
|
●
|
Given the complexity
and length of restructuring our business, we face the challenge of generating sufficient cash from our current business activities
to support our daily operations during the transition;
|
|
●
|
We may not be able
to establish a separate department to solve critical issues in today’s shipping logistics industry;
|
|
●
|
We may not be able
to manage our growth when we form more joint ventures for our shipping agency business as we need to better our standard operating
and control procedures which may pose more challenges to our management.
|
|
●
|
We may not have
or not be able to get the necessary funds to continue to expand our service and market our services successfully;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to respond
to increasing competitive pressure on our growth and margins;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to gain
further expertise and to serve new customers in new service areas;
|
|
●
|
From time to time,
we may have difficulty carrying out services effectively and in a profitable way due to the cyclical nature of the shipping
industry, which could lead to a prolonged period of sluggish demand for our services;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to respond
promptly to a changing regulatory environment, macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and competitive landscape; and
|
|
●
|
Developing a winning
business model takes time and a new business model may not be recognized by the market immediately. As a publicly traded company,
management may be forced to fulfill near-term performance goals that may not be consistent with the Company’s long-term
vision.
|
Our
Competition
The
market segments that we serve do not have high entry barriers. There are many companies ranging from small to large in China that
provide shipping and freight-related logistics services. At present, the state-owned companies in China still dominate the industry
and generate a majority of the revenues in the industry. These companies have greater service capabilities, a larger customer
base and more financial, marketing, network and human resources than we do. Most of them engage in a wide range of businesses
and involve many aspects of the industry chain. However, we focus on providing tailored solutions and value-added services to
select high-profile customers to drive effectiveness and control in related aspects throughout the entire shipping and freight
logistic chain. As a boutique company that provides specialized services with limited resources and history, we face intense competition
in the particular market segments that we serve. Our ability to be successful in our industry depends on our deep understanding
of the complexity of industry issues and challenges and our technical ability to develop best solutions to respond to the identified
issues and provide effective problem-solving strategies to our targeted customers to achieve the fastest and most cost-effective
outcomes. Our value-added services and innovative approaches are highly recognized by our customers, which helps us to gain additional
market share and compete effectively with the companies that may be better capitalized than we are or may provide services we
do not or cannot provide to our customers.
Employees
As
of the date of this prospectus, we have 17 full-time employees and one part-time employee, 11 of whom are based in China. Of the
total full time employees, 4 are in management, 8 are in operations, 2 are in finance and accounting and 3 are in administration
and technical support. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good. We have never had a work stoppage, and our
employees are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Employment
Agreements with Named Executive Officers
Sino-China
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 we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause,
then we are obligated to provide at least 30 days’ prior notice. In such case during the initial term of the agreement,
we would need to pay such executive (i) the remaining salary through 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.
We
are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty to our company, where the employee has committed a
crime or the employee’s actions or inactions have resulted in a material adverse effect to us.

PRINCIPAL
STOCKHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock as of January 21, 2021 (the “Determination
Date”) by: (i) each current director of our company; (ii) each of our named executive officers; (iii) all current executive
officers and directors of our company as a group; and (iv) all those known by us to be beneficial owners of more than five percent
(5%) of our common stock.
Beneficial
ownership and percentage ownership are determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership
generally includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power and includes
any shares that an individual or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of within sixty (60) days of the Determination
Date, through the exercise of any option, warrant or similar right (such instruments being deemed to be “presently exercisable”).
In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of our common
stock that could be issued upon the exercise of presently exercisable options and warrants are considered to be outstanding. These
shares, however, are not considered outstanding as of the Determination Date when computing the percentage ownership of each other
person.
To
our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to state community property laws where
applicable, all beneficial owners named in the following table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares
shown as beneficially owned by them. Percentage of ownership is based on 5,998,788 shares of common stock outstanding as of the
Determination Date.

Beneficial ownership
is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. A person or group is deemed to be the beneficial
owner of any shares of our common stock over which such person or group has sole or shared voting or investment power, plus
any shares which such person or group has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of within 60 days of the Determination
Date, whether through the exercise of options, warrants or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes, each person
or entity identified in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned
by them, subject to applicable community property laws.
|
(2)
|
The beneficial ownership
percentage is calculated for each person or group separately because shares of our common stock subject to options, warrants
or other rights to acquire our common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Determination
Date are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options, warrants or other rights
but not for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person or group. As a result, the beneficial
ownership percentage for each person or group is calculated by dividing (x) the number of shares reported in the table as
beneficially owned by such person or group, by (y) 5,998,788 shares (which represents the number of shares of our common stock
that were outstanding as of the Determination Date) plus the number of shares that such person or group has the right to acquire
beneficial ownership of within 60 days of the Determination Date as indicated in the footnotes below.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Board of Directors maintains a majority of independent directors who are deemed to be independent under the definition of independence
provided by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 4200(a)(15). Other than as described herein, no transactions required to be disclosed under
Item 404 of Regulation S-K have occurred since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year.
In
June 2013, the Company signed a five-year global logistic service agreement with Tianjin Zhiyuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. (the
“Zhiyuan Investment Group”) and TEWOO Chemical & Light Industry Zhiyuan Trade Co., Ltd. (together with Zhiyuan
Investment Group, “Zhiyuan”). Zhiyuan Investment Group is owned by Mr. Zhang, a former large shareholder of the Company.
In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group whereby
it would provide certain advisory services and help control potential commodities loss during the transportation process. The
amount due from Zhiyuan Investment Group as of June 30, 2019 was $484,331 as the Company generated revenue from providing inland
transportation management services to Zhiyuan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company provided a 10% allowance for doubtful accounts
of the amount due from Zhiyuan. The Company entered into a supplemental service agreement with Zhiyuan to extend the service period
to September 1, 2019. No additional agreements have been entered into to extend such service period as of the date of this prospectus.
As
of June 30, 2020, the Company had payable to the CEO of $6,279 and to the Acting CFO of $26,570, both of which were included in
other payable. These payments were made on behalf of the Company for the daily business operational activities.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth the name of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares of common stock that each Selling Stockholder
may offer from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The shares of common stock that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders
hereunder may be acquired by the Selling Stockholders upon the exercise by the Selling Stockholders of the Warrants that are held
by the Selling Stockholders and that were previously issued in private transactions by our company. The shares of common stock
that may be offered by the Selling Stockholders hereunder consist of 1,170,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise
of the Warrants that were issued to the Selling Stockholders on December 11, 2020 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated as
of December 8, 2020 by and among the Company and the purchasers named therein. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that
each of the beneficial owners and Selling Stockholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to such
shares of common stock, subject to community property laws, where applicable.
Except
as noted in the table below, none of the Selling Stockholders has had a material relationship with us other than as a stockholder
at any time within the past three years or has ever been one of our or our affiliates’ officers or directors. Each
of the Selling Stockholders has acquired the Warrants (and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof) in the
ordinary course of business and, at the time of acquisition of the Warrants, none of the Selling Stockholders was a party
to any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of common stock to be resold
by such Selling Stockholders under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Because
a Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of the shares of common stock that it holds that are covered by this prospectus,
and because the offering contemplated by this prospectus is not underwritten, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares
of our common stock that will be held by a Selling Stockholder upon termination of the offering. The information set forth in
the following table regarding the beneficial ownership after resale of shares is based upon the assumption that the Selling Stockholders
will sell all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
In
accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, in computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by
a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares issuable through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through
conversion of any security held by that person that are currently exercisable or that are exercisable within sixty (60) days are
included. These shares are not, however, deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any
or all of their shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on
which our common stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders
may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the Shares:
|
●
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
●
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
●
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
●
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
●
|
to
cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part is declared effective by the SEC;
|
|
●
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at
a stipulated price per share;
|
|
●
|
a
combination of any of these methods of sale; and
|
|
●
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The
shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any other exemption from registration under the Securities
Act, if available for a Selling Stockholder, rather than under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have the sole and absolute
discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at
any particular time.
The
Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares to their respective brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If
a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to
the extent permitted by applicable law.
If
sales of shares offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required
to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares offered under this prospectus may
be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions
received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell
shares of common stock offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material
details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included
in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The
Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares offered under this prospectus
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation
M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by, the Selling
Stockholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited
from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of
time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations
may affect the marketability of the shares.
If
any of the shares offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus,
then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming
such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the Selling Stockholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered
under this prospectus.
We
agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective
at all times until none of the Selling Stockholders owns any Warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof.
The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws.
In addition, in certain states, the shares covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale
in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000
shares of common stock, without par value per share and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value per share. As of
the date of January 21, 2021, 5,998,788 shares of common stock and 860,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are issued
and outstanding. The following summary description relating to our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified
in its entirety by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and Bylaws.
Common
stock
Holders
of common stock are entitled to cast one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the
election of directors. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and subject to any preference of any then authorized and issued
preferred stock. Such holders do not have any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional shares. All holders of common
stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets for distribution to stockholders upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of our company, subject to any preference of any then authorized and issued preferred stock. There are no conversion, redemption
or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred
Stock
Our
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws provide that upon completion of our initial public offering, our Board of Directors
are authorized to issue, without shareholder approval, blank check preferred stock. Blank check preferred stock can operate as
a defensive measure known as a “poison pill” by diluting the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent
an acquisition that is not approved by our Board of Directors.
Limitations
on the Right to Own Shares
There
are no limitations on the right to own our shares.
Disclosure
of Shareholder Ownership
There
are no provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder
ownership must be disclosed.
Changes
in Capital
We
may from time to time by ordinary resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amount,
as the resolution shall prescribe. The new shares shall be subject to the same provisions with reference to the payment of calls,
lien, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the shares in the original share capital. We may by ordinary resolution:
|
●
|
consolidate
and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing
shares;
|
|
●
|
convert
all or any of our paid up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up shares
of any denomination;
|
|
●
|
in
many circumstances, sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller
amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the
amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case
of the share form which the reduced share is derived; and
|
|
●
|
cancel
any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or
agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the
amount of the shares so cancelled.
|
We
may by special resolution reduce our share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund in any manner authorized by law.
Incentive
Plan
Pursuant
to our 2008 Incentive Plan, we are authorized to issue options to purchase 60,581 shares of our common stock. There are 2,000
outstanding options taken from the 2008 Incentive Plan. Pursuant to our 2014 Incentive Plan, we are authorized to issue, in the
aggregate, 2,000,000 shares of common stock or other securities convertible or exercisable for common stock. We have granted options
to purchase an aggregate of 30,000 shares of common stock under the 2014 Incentive Plan in July 2016, among which, options to
purchase 15,000 shares of common stock have been exercised. In addition, we have issued, in the aggregate, 120,000 shares of common
stock to consultants to our Company in 2014, 132,000 shares of common stock to our officers and directors in 2016, 132,000 shares
of common stock to our officers and directors in 2018, 26,000 to three employees in 2017 and 316,000 shares of common stock to
employees in 2018 under the 2014 Incentive Plan. Accordingly, we may issue options to purchase 47,781 shares under the 2008 Incentive
Plan, and we may issue 1,244,000 shares of common stock or other securities convertible or exercisable for common stock under
the 2014 Incentive Plan.
Warrants
We
have issued to the Selling Stockholders Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares of common stock at an initial
exercise price equal to $3.10 per share. The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to certain adjustments in the event of
(1) payment of a dividend or other distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in common stock; (2) subdivisions
of outstanding shares of common stock into a larger number of shares; or (3) combinations of outstanding shares of common
stock into a smaller number of shares.
Warrants
are exercisable beginning on December 11, 2020 and has a term of exercise equal to three and a half (3.5) years from the date
of issuance. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants
if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% in the case of three holders)
of the number of our shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. At any time
after the initial exercise date of the Warrants, if a registration statement and current prospectus covering the resale of the
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not available, the holder may exercise the Warrants in whole
or in part on a cashless basis.
If,
at any time while the Warrants are outstanding: (1) we consolidate or merge with or into another entity in which the Company
is not the surviving entity; (2) we sell, lease, assign, convey or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of our assets;
(3) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether completed by us or a third party) is completed pursuant to which holders
of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock tender or exchange their shares for securities, cash or other property;
(4) we effect any reclassification of our shares of common stock or compulsory share exchange pursuant to which outstanding
shares of common stock are converted or exchanged for other securities, cash or property; or (5) any transaction is consummated
whereby any person or entity acquires more than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”),
then upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the holder thereof will have the right to receive the same amount and kind of
securities, cash or other property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction
if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of shares then issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant.
If,
at any time while the Warrants are outstanding, we declare or make any dividend or other distribution of our assets (or rights
to acquire our assets) to holders of our common stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise, then each holder of a Warrant
shall be entitled to participate in such distribution to the same extent that the holder would have participated therein if the
holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the
record date for such distribution.
If
at any time while the Warrants are outstanding we grant, issue or sell any common stock equivalents or rights to purchase stock,
warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of our common stock (“Purchase Rights”), then
each holder of a Warrant will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase
Rights which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete
exercise of the Warrant immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase
Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of common stock are to be determined for the grant,
issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
The
Warrants permit us to require the holders thereof to exercise all or any portion of such Warrants for cash at any time following
issuance if the closing price of our common stock equals or exceeds 250% of the initial exercise price (subject to adjustments
for stock splits and similar transactions) for ten (10) consecutive trading days (the “Mandatory Exercise Measuring Period”).
The mandatory exercise notice must be delivered no more than five (5) trading days following the last trading day in the Mandatory
Exercise Measuring Period, and once delivered, such notice is irrevocable. For us to exercise our demand rights, (i) the Company
must have an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the Warrants; (ii) the common stock
must be trading on a Trading Market (which term includes the Nasdaq Capital Market) and the shares underlying the Warrants must
be listed for trading on the Trading Market; (iii) the issuance must not cause the holder to exceed 4.99% ownership of outstanding
common stock or violate Nasdaq requirements; (iv) the holder must not be in possession of material nonpublic information; and
(v) for each trading day in the twenty (20) consecutive trading days before the Mandatory Exercise Date, the daily trading volume
for our common stock must have exceeded 60,000 shares per day (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar transactions).
The
Warrants were, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be, issued and sold without registration
under the Securities Act, or state securities laws, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.
We
have agreed, on or prior to January 25, 2021, to file a registration statement on Form S-1 providing for the resale by the Selling
Stockholders of the shares issued and issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.
Common
stock Listing

common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “SINO.”

INDEX
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sino-Global
Shipping America, Ltd.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. and Affiliates (collectively, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2020
and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity (deficiency) and cash
flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as
the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered
with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether
due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Consideration
of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had incurred significant working capital deficiency, recurring
losses from operations and accumulated deficit at June 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. These
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. If the Company
is unable to successfully obtain the necessary additional financial support as specified in Note 2, there could be a material
adverse effect on the Company.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
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 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 and management services, which are operated by its subsidiary
in Hong Kong and the U.S.; (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.
Prior
to fiscal year 2019, the Company mainly focused on freight logistics and inland transportation management services. Starting with
fiscal year 2019, current trade dynamics made it more expensive for shipping carrier clients to cost-effectively move cargo into
U.S. ports, which has caused the Company to shift its focus back to shipping agency and management business. The shipping agency
industry in China has improved and the number of shipping agencies overall 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 cooperation 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 a 51% equity interest in the joint venture. On May 23, 2019, Bright Far East International
Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. incorporated in New York and terminated its registration in Hong Kong. There has been no major operation
of the joint venture for the year ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Currently the Company is conducting the shipping agency business
through its wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary.
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. (“State Priests”),
in which the Company will hold a 20% equity interest. On July 26, 2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with
Mr. Weijun Qin which changed the Company’s equity interest in State Priests from 20% to 90%. The Company has not provided
any cash contribution to the joint venture and there has been no operation of the joint venture pending the International Ship
Safety Management Certificate from the China Classification Society (the “Certificate”). Sino-Global Shipping New
York Inc. started providing shipping management related services that do not require certification which includes arranging and
coordinating for ship maintenance and inspection this quarter.
On
November 6, 2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin to restructure their equity interest
in State Priests. Given that State Priests failed to timely obtain the necessary approval from related authorities, Mr. Weijun
Qin agreed to exchange 80% equity interest in Sea Continent Management Ltd. (“Sea Continent”), another New York entity
Mr. Qin owns for the Company’s 90% equity interest in State Priests. The equity transfer has been consummated. Sea Continent
already has the Certificate but has no operations as of June 30, 2020. There has been no capital injection nor operations of State
Priests and Sea Continent as of June 30, 2020, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized in the transaction.
On January 10, 2020, the
Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Shanming Liang, a shareholder of the Company, to set up a joint venture
in New York named LSM Trading Ltd., in which the Company holds a 40% equity interest. No investment has been made by the Company
as of the date of this report. The new joint venture will facilitate the purchase agricultural related commodities in the U.S.
for customers in China and the Company will provide comprehensive supply chain and logistics solutions.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020 in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the
world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic and has resulted in quarantines, travel
restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and the U.S. for the past few months. Given
the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations
and its workforce are concentrated in China and the U.S., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition
have been adversely affected for the year ended June 30, 2020.
After
the close of the stock market on July 7, 2020, the Company effected a l-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock in
order to satisfy continued listing requirements of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The reverse stock split was
approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders and was intended to allow the company to meet the minimum
share price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result all common stock
share amounts included in this filing have been retroactively reduced by a factor of five, and all common stock per share
amounts have been increased by a factor of five. Amounts affected include common stock outstanding, including those that have
resulted from the stock options, and warrants that convert to common stock.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All intercompany transactions and balances have been 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 Shipping Ltd., entered into certain agreements
with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income.
As
a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in the Company’s total revenues, and any income/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 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
810-10, “Consolidation”. 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 consolidated balance
sheets were as follows:

(b)
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.
(c)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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, impairment loss, deferred income taxes, income tax expense and the useful lives of property and equipment. The inputs
into the Company’s judgments and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s critical
and significant accounting estimates. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process,
actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d)
Translation of Foreign Currency
The
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries 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, Trans Pacific Shipping Ltd. and Trans Pacific Logistic Shanghai Ltd.
report their financial positions and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping
Australia Pty Ltd., reports its financial positions and results of operations in Australian dollar (“AUD”), its subsidiary
Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong reports its financial positions and results of operations in Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”)
and its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Inc. reports its financial positions and results of operations in Canadian Dollar
(“CAD”). The accompanying 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 consolidated statements of operations. The
Company translates the foreign currency financial statements 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 sheets’
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 loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity
of the Company, and also included in non-controlling interests.

Cash
Cash consists of cash
on hand and cash in bank which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions
mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and the U.S. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash balances of $97,836 and $2,993,913,
respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in the PRC. $8,780 and $2,923,972 of these balances are not covered by
insurance as the deposit insurance system in China only insured each depositor at one bank for a maximum of approximately $70,000
(RMB 500,000). As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash balances of $25,739 and $122,017, respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial
institutions, and were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs subject to certain limitations. The
Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD 500,000 (approximately $64,000) if the bank with which
an individual/a company holds its eligible deposit fails. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, cash balances of $2,029 and $4,386, respectively,
were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and were insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board. As of June 30,
2020 and 2019, cash balances of $1,116 and $1,821, respectively, were maintained at Australia financial institutions, and were
insured as the Australian government guarantees deposits up to AUD 250,000 (approximately $172,000). As of June 30, 2020 and 2019,
amount of deposits the Company had covered by insurance amounted to $117,940 and $198,165, respectively.
(f)
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.
(g)
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 generally considered past due after 180 days. The Company reserves
25%-50% of the customers balance aged between 181 days to 1 year, 50%-100% of the customers balance over 1 year and 100% of the
customers balance over 2 years. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts.
As the Company has focused its development in the shipping management segment, its customer base will be more from smaller privately
owned companies that will pay more timely than state owned companies. The Company also considers the economic implications of
COVID-19 on its estimates of the allowance and made additional $4,996,006 of allowance for doubtful accounts and wrote off $8,220,754
of accounts receivable for the year ended June 30, 2020. There was no write off for year ended June 30, 2019. The Company recovered
$99,366 of accounts receivable for the year ended June 30, 2020. There was no recovery for year ended June 30, 2019.
Other receivables represent mainly customer advances, 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. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad
debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance
for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. Other receivables are
written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. The Company also considers the economic implications
of COVID-19 on its estimates of the allowance and made additional $10,055,203 of allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended
June 30, 2020. For the year ended June 30, 2020, $1,763 was written off against other receivables, respectively. There was no write
off for the year ended June 30, 2019.

TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(h)
Property and Equipment, 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
|
3-10 years
|
Computer and office
equipment
|
1-5 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
3-5 years
|
System software
|
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. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
an impairment of $127,177 and nil were recorded, respectively.
(i)
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
platform
|
3 years
|
The
Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired. For the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, an impairment of $200,455 and nil were recorded, respectively.
(j)
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue which represents 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. The Company identifies contractual performance obligations and determines
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
Company uses a 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
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.
Contract
balances
The
Company records receivables related to revenue when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Deferred revenue consists
primarily of customer billings made in advance of performance obligations being satisfied and revenue being recognized.

Taxation
Because
the Company and its subsidiaries and Sino-China were incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns.
The Company uses the asset and 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 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.
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 June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Income
tax returns for the years prior to 2016 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax
Laws of the PRC.
PRC
Value Added Taxes and Surcharges
The
Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries
and affiliates, including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to VAT at rates ranging from 9% to 13%. Entities that are VAT
general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified VAT paid to suppliers against their VAT liability. Net VAT liability is recorded
in taxes payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
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 net VAT payments.
(l)
Earnings (loss) per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock of the Company by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock of the
Company were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation
of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
For
the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company because
the Company generated a net loss.
(m)
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The
Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the “FASB”) which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its component in financial
statements. Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under US GAAP are recorded as
an element of Stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign
currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.
(n)
Stock-based Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation –
Stock Compensation”, which requires that stock-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date
fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company
records stock-based compensation expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the employee’s
requisite service period.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 amended by ASU 2018-07.
Under FASB ASC Topic 718, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration
received or the fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as an expense as
the goods or services are received.
Valuations
of stock based compensation 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.

Risks and Uncertainties
The
Company’s business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, health 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, health 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.
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19
pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations and our workforce are concentrated in China
and United States, the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely affected for
the rest of fiscal year 2020 and beyond.
(p)
Liquidity
In
assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital
expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses
and capital expenditure obligations. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s working capital deficit was approximately $3.9
million and the Company had cash of approximately $0.1 million. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through
identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, and by
reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. The Company’s ability to fulfill its current
obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the future revenues generated from its
operations.
The
Company expects to realize the balance of its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If the
Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, the Company had considered supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:
|
●
|
the Company will continuously seek equity
financing to support its working capital; On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Shanming
Liang, a director of Guangxi Jinqiao Industrial Group Co., Ltd., to cooperate and expand the bulk cargo container services business.
Shanming Liang agreed to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share for
aggregate proceeds of $1.0 million pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated November 14, 2019. The company received gross proceeds
of $940,131 for fiscal year 2020. From July to September 2020, the Company received remaining proceeds of $59,869. The full amount
of subscription receivable have been paid off.
On September 17, 2020, the Company entered
into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares at a per share purchase price
of $1.46 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. On September 21 and September 22, 2020, the Company received total
gross proceeds of approximately $1.05 million.

other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s shareholders and directors.
|
Based
on the above considerations, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it will not have sufficient funds to meet
the Company’s working capital requirements and current liabilities as they become due one year from issuance of these
consolidated financial statements. There is no assurance that management will be successful in their plans. There are a
number of factors that could potentially arise that could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the PRC
government policy, economic conditions, and competitive pricing in the industries that the Company operates in. In addition,
the recent outbreak of new coronavirus pandemic posed disruption and restrictions on its operations and those of the
Company’s customers which not only negatively impact the Company’s financial conditions but also slowed down the
macro-economic development worldwide. If management is unable to execute this plan, there would likely be a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business.
SINO-GLOBAL
SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND AFFILIATES
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The management has considered whether there is substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern due to 1) the Company’s recurring losses from operations, including approximately
$16.5 million net loss attributable to the Company’s stockholders for the year ended June 30, 2020, 2) accumulated deficit
of approximately $23.4 million as of June 30, 2020, and 3) has negative operating cash flows of approximately $3.9 million for
the year ended June 30, 2020. All of these factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements
adopted
In
February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. 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 adopted this ASU
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using modified retrospective transition approach at the beginning of the period of adoption.
The Company recognized lease liabilities of approximately $0.3 million, with corresponding right-of use (“ROU”) assets
of approximately the same amount based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using a weighted
average discount rate of approximately 8.98%.
On
July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 where awards to nonemployees are measured by estimating the fair value of the equity
instruments to be issued. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor
acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards which
superseded ASU 505-50. The ASU is required to be applied on a prospective basis to all new awards granted after the date of adoption.
The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2019 and the adoption has no significant impact to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as a whole.
Pronouncements
not yet adopted
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
related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value,
clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU
2018-13 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2020. The Company does not believe
the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
SINO-GLOBAL
SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND AFFILIATES
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for
the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology.
The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments
to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually
assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial
Instruments—Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’
concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at
amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information
by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief
also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement
users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date
of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit
losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2023, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2023
assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
new standard on Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”.
The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles
in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying
and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July
1, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities
for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an
interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally,
an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this new standard on Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The
Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company entered into certain contracts with customers (state-owned entities) where the Company’s services included freight costs and cost of commodities to be shipped to customers’ designated locations. The Company prepaid the costs of commodities and recognized as advance payments on behalf of its customers. These advance payments on behalf of the customers will be repaid to the Company when either the contract terms are expired or the contracts are terminated by the Company. As our customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts, they required additional time to pay. Due to significant uncertainty on whether the delayed contracts will be executed timely. As such, the Company provided an allowance due to contract delay and recorded allowances of approximately $10.0 million.

11. LOANS PAYABLE
On
May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $124,570 under the U.S. Small Business Administration
(“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of
the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks
(or an extended 24-week covered period) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll,
benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The loan forgiveness amount will be reduced for any Economic Injury
Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) advance that the Company receives. The amount of loan forgiveness will be further reduced if
the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. The Company intends to use the proceeds for
purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions
for forgiveness of the loan and intends to file for loan forgiveness before December 2020, there can be no assurance that the
full amount of the loan will be forgiven. As of June 30, 2020, $124,570 of loan payable remains outstanding.
On
May 26, 2020, the Company received an advance in the amount of $155,900 from under the SBA EIDL program administered by the
SBA pursuant to the CARES Act. Such advance amount will reduce the Company’s PPP loan forgiveness amount described
above. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the SBA loans primarily for
working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 31, 2020 and continuing
thereafter. The SBA loans are scheduled to mature on May 22, 2050 and have a 3.75% interest rate and are subject to the terms
and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. The monthly payable including principal and
interest, of $731 commencing on May 22, 2021. The balance of principal and interest will be payable 30 years from the date of

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual
Obligations:
Contingencies
The
Labor Contract Law of the PRC requires employers to insure the liability of the 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 June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company has estimated
its severance payments of approximately $84,000 and $94,000, respectively, which have not been reflected in its 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 notice 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. In Indianapolis, this matter was settled in exchange for 8,000 restrictive shares of
common stock of the Company to the plaintiff, by the execution of a settlement agreement by both parties on August 23, 2019 and
the issuance of 8,000 restricted shares on August 26, 2019. As a result, the arbitration in Indianapolis and the litigation in
California has been dismissed respectively.
On
January 22, 2019, Nasdaq notified the Company that it did not comply with the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum
Bid Price”) requirement in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), was granted 180 calendar
days, until July 22, 2019, to regain compliance. Subsequently, on July 23, 2019, the Company was provided an additional 180 calendar
day compliance period, or until January 20, 2020, to demonstrate compliance. On January 21, 2020, the Company was notified of
Nasdaq’s delist determination as it had not regained compliance. On January 28, 2020, the Company requested a hearing, which
was held on February 27, 2020. On March 10, 2020, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel
(the “Panel”) granted an exception to permit the Company to demonstrate compliance on or before May 8, 2020.
In
response to current volatile stock market conditions and decreases in the stock price of many companies, Nasdaq announced on April
17, 2020 that it has temporarily provided relief from certain of its continued listing requirements for common stock and other
securities. Among other things, Nasdaq is tolling until June 30, 2020, the period for any non-compliant company to regain compliance
with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1 for at least 30 consecutive business days. As a result, the
Company automatically received an extension to demonstrate its compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price requirement on or
before July 23, 2020. The shares of the Company continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the condition listed
above. The temporary relief the Company received was based on Nasdaq Issuer Notification 2020-2, which provides additional time
to issuers to return to compliance with pricing related listing rules, including the Minimum Bid Price requirement.
On
July 7, 2020, the Company effected a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at the ratio of one-for-five. Nasdaq
has determined that for 11 consecutive trading days from July 7 through July 21, 2020, the closing bid price of the Company’s
common stock has been closed above $1.00 per share. On July 22, 2020, the Panel notified the Company that it has regained compliance
with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1 and this matter is now closed.

16. INCOME TAXES
On
March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law
and includes, among other things, refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating
loss carryback periods and alternative minimum tax credit refunds. The Company does not at present expect the provisions of the
CARES Act to have a material impact on its tax provision given the amount of net operating losses currently available.

The Company’s operations
in the U.S. incurred a cumulative U.S. federal NOL of approximately $3,781,000 as of June 30, 2019 which may reduce future federal
taxable income. During the year ended June 30, 2020, approximately $2,675,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit
derived from such NOL was approximately $562,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s cumulative NOL amounted
to approximately $6,456,000 which may reduce future federal taxable income, of which approximately $1,400,000 will expire in
2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely.

NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s
operations in China incurred a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,828,000 as of June 30, 2019 which may reduce future taxable income.
During the year ended June 30, 2020, approximately $133,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such
NOL was approximately $33,000. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s cumulative NOL amounted to approximately $5,961,000 which
may reduce future taxable income, of which approximately $281,000 start expiring from 2021 and the remaining balance of NOL will
be expired by 2025.
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. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect the Company’s
future realization of 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. The Company determined that it is more likely
than not its deferred tax assets could not be realized due to uncertainty on future earnings as a result of the deterioration of
trade negotiation between US and China in 2019. The Company provided a 100% allowance for its DTA as of June 30, 2020. The net
increase in valuation for the year ended June 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $3,861,000, 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.

SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND
AFFILIATES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 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 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 three operating segments including (1) shipping agency and management services, which are operated by its subsidiary in the
U.S.; (2) freight logistics services, which are operated by its subsidiary in the PRC; (3) container trucking services, which are
operated by its subsidiary in the U.S.
The Company continues
to focus back on shipping agency and management business for fiscal year 2021, as current trade dynamics and the COVID-19 outbreak
have negatively impacted shipping carrier clients with higher their cost to move cargo into U.S. ports. The shipping agency industry
in China has improved and the number of shipping agencies overall the country has decreased, due to both price and the inability
of competitors to embrace technology as a resource in serving client needs.
On November 6,
2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin to restructure their equity interest in State Priests.
Given that State Priests failed to timely obtain the necessary approval from related authorities, Mr. Weijun Qin agreed to exchange
80% equity interest in Sea Continent Management Ltd. (“Sea Continent”), another New York entity Mr. Qin owns for the
Company’s 90% equity interest in State Priests. The equity transfer has been consummated. There has been no capital injection
nor operations of State Priests and Sea Continent, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized in the transaction. Sea Continent
already has the Certificate but has no operations as of September 30, 2020.
On January 10, 2020,
the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Shanming Liang, a shareholder of the Company, to set up a joint venture
in New York named LSM Trading Ltd., in which the Company holds a 40% equity interest. No investment has been made by the Company
as of the date of this report. The new joint venture will facilitate the purchase agricultural related commodities in the U.S.
for customers in China and the Company will provide comprehensive supply chain and logistics solutions.
On April 6, 2020, the
Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Kelin Wu (the “Seller”) and
Mandarine Ocean Ltd, a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands (“Hanyang Shipping”), to acquire 75% of
the capital stock of Hanyang Shipping held by the Seller for an aggregate consideration of up to $3.75 million to be paid in cash
and the Company’s restricted shares of common stock. On June 17, 2020, the Company and Mr. Wu entered into the First Amended
and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the purchase price to an aggregate consideration of
up to $1.5 million and the Company’s restricted shares.
On September 3, 2020,
the Company and Mr. Wu signed a Termination Agreement to terminate the Amendment mutually. Neither party will owe the other party
any termination penalty in connection with the Termination Agreement.
After the close of
the stock market on July 7, 2020, the Company effected a l-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock in order to satisfy continued
listing requirements of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s
board of directors and stockholders and was intended to allow the company to meet the minimum share price requirement of $1.00
per share for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result all common stock share amounts included in this filing
have been retroactively reduced by a factor of five, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of
five. Amounts affected include common stock outstanding, including those that have resulted from the stock options, and warrants
that convert to common stock.
The outbreak of the
novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020 in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March
2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic and has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and
the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and the U.S. for the past few months. Given the rapidly expanding
nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations and its workforce are
concentrated in China and the U.S., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely
affected for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence
of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for the Company to estimate the impact on the business or operating results that might
be adversely affected by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19.

(b) 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 (“US GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include
the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries and VIEs. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
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 Shipping Ltd., entered into certain agreements with Sino-China,
pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the
benefit of the Company. The Company does not receive any payment 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 income/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 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”.
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 US 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 unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of revenues,
allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment loss, deferred income taxes, income tax expense and the useful lives of property and
equipment. The inputs into the Company’s judgments and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s
critical and significant accounting estimates. 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 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, Trans Pacific Shipping Ltd. and Trans Pacific Logistic Shanghai Ltd. report their financial positions
and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Australia Pty Ltd., reports its
financial positions and results of operations in Australian dollar (“AUD”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Hong
Kong reports its financial positions and results of operations in Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) and its subsidiary Sino-Global
Shipping Canada, Inc. reports its financial positions and results of operations in Canadian Dollar (“CAD”). 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 consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates the
foreign currency financial statements 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 sheets’ 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 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 September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

(f) Cash
Cash consists of cash
on hand and cash in bank which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions
mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and the U.S. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $69,260
and $97,836, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in the PRC. Nil and $8,780 of these balances are not covered
by insurance as the deposit insurance system in China only insured each depositor at one bank for a maximum of approximately $70,000
(RMB 500,000). As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $940,193 and $25,739, respectively, were maintained
at U.S. financial institutions, $684,272 and nil, respectively, of these balances are uninsured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation as it only insured deposits up to $250,000. The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit
of HKD 500,000 (approximately $64,000) if the bank with which an individual/a company holds its eligible deposit fails. As of September
30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $1,944 and $2,029, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong
Kong and were insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $943
and $1,116, respectively, were maintained at Australia financial institutions, and were insured as the Australian government guarantees
deposits up to AUD 250,000 (approximately $172,000). As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, amount of deposits the Company
had covered by insurance amounted to $328,068 and $117,940, respectively.
(g) 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 generally considered past due after 180 days. The Company reserves 25%-50% of the customers balance
aged between 181 days to 1 year, 50%-100% of the customers balance over 1 year and 100% of the customers balance over 2 years.
Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. As the Company has focused
its development in the shipping management segment, its customer base will be more from smaller privately owned companies that
will pay more timely than state owned companies. The Company also considers the economic implications of COVID-19 on its estimates
of the allowance and made additional $30,757 and $1,023,931 of allowance for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable for the three
months ended September 30, 2020. The Company recovered $2,404 and $99,366 of accounts receivable for the three months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Other receivables represent
mainly customer advances, 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. Management reviews its receivables on a
regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account
balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection
is not probable. Other receivables are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. For the three
months ended September 30, 2019, $1,763 was written off against other receivables, respectively. There was no write off for the
three months ended September 30, 2020.
(h) Property and Equipment, 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
|
3-10 years
|
Computer and office equipment
|
1-5 years
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
3-5 years
|
System software
|
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. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
an impairment of nil and $127,177 were recorded, respectively.
(i) 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 platform
|
3 years
|
The Company evaluates
intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, an impairment of nil and $200,455 were recorded, respectively.
(j) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes
revenue which represents 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. The Company identifies contractual performance obligations and determines
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 Company uses a
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 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.
Contract
balances
The
Company records receivables related to revenue when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Deferred
revenue consists primarily of customer billings made in advance of performance obligations being satisfied and revenue being recognized.
As of September 30,
2020, the Company had outstanding contracts amounting to approximately $0.9 million, all of which is expected to be completed within
3 months from September 30, 2020.
The Company’s
disaggregated revenue streams are described as follows:

Revenues from freight logistics services
are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
For certain freight logistics contracts
that the Company entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company (i) acts as an agent
in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and (ii) does not control the services
rendered to the customers, revenues related to this contracts are presented net of related costs. For the three months ended September
30, 2019, gross revenue and gross cost of revenue related to these contracts amounted to approximately $9.1 million and $8.5 million,
respectively. There was no such transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

(k) Taxation
Because the Company
and its subsidiaries and Sino-China were incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. The Company
uses the asset and 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.
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 September 30, 2020
and June 30, 2020.
Income tax returns
for the years prior to 2017 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.
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 and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC.
PRC Value Added Taxes and Surcharges
The Company is subject
to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates,
including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to VAT at rates ranging from 9% to 13%. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers
are allowed to offset qualified VAT paid to suppliers against their VAT liability. Net VAT liability is recorded in taxes payable
on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 net VAT payments.
(l) Earnings (loss) per Share
Basic earnings (loss)
per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock of the Company by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock of the Company were exercised or
converted into common stock of the Company. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.
For the three months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company.
(m) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company reports
comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”)
which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its component in financial statements. Other comprehensive
income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under US GAAP are recorded as an element of Stockholders’
equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment
resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.
(n) Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts
for stock-based compensation awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,
which requires that stock-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity
instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period. The Company records stock-based compensation
expense at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense over the employee’s requisite service period.
The Company accounts
for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 amended by ASU 2018-07. Under FASB ASC
Topic 718, stock compensation granted to non-employees has been determined as the fair value of the consideration received or the
fair value of equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measured and is recognized as an expense as the goods or services
are received.
Valuations of stock
based compensation 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.
(o) Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s
business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, health 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, health 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.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization
declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all
of the Company’s business operations and the workforce are concentrated in China and United States, the Company’s business,
results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely affected for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The
situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for the Company
to estimate the impact on the business or operating results that might be adversely affected by any further outbreak or resurgence
of COVID-19.
(p) Liquidity
In assessing the Company’s
liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s
liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September
30, 2020, the Company’s working capital deficit was approximately $3.6 million and the Company had cash of approximately
$1.0 million. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic
alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. The
Company’s ability to fulfill its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the
future revenues generated from its operations.
Management believes
that the Company will require a minimum of approximately $1.6 million cash over the next twelve months to operate at our current
level, either from revenues or funding. Based on our current revenue and expense projection, the Company believes it will generate
at least the same amount of revenue in the coming year compared to the current year as the Company and the market are both recovering
from the impact of the pandemic. In addition, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S.
Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock in November 2020. The aggregate proceeds was approximately
$1.4 million. If the Company’s revenue does not achieve its expected level, the Company will also be implementing cost saving
measures to reduce its operating cash outflow.
The Company expects
to realize the balance of its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If the Company is unable
to realize its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, the Company had considered supplementing
its available sources of funds through the following sources:
|
●
|
the Company will continuously seek equity financing to support its working capital; On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares at a per share purchase price of $1.46 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. The full amount of proceeds have been received. On November 2 and November 3, 2020, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock at a per share purchase price of $1.66 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.43 million. The Company has received the full amount of payment in November 2020.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s shareholders and directors.
|
Based on the above
considerations, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet the Company’s future
liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s management has considered whether there is a going concern issue due to the Company’s continuing losses.
Based upon the continuing equity financing from investors and credit guarantee support from its shareholders to provide the necessary
funds to the Company to continue its operations should the need arise, the management of the Company believes that it has alleviated
the going concern issue.
(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pronouncements adopted
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 related to transfers and the valuations
process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure,
and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2020 and the adoption
has no significant impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.
Pronouncements not yet adopted
In May 2019, the
FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the
measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss
methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several
consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt
securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in
accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The
amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value
option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition
relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement
methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some
entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful
information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for
private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard.
The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2023, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2023 assuming the
Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new
standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019,
the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments
in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740.
The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending
existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2021. Early
adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for
which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should
reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that
elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020,
the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”.
The amendments in this Update to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted
accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective
for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than
fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects to early
adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes
that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2020, the
FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”.
The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand
and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-08 is effective for the Company for annual
and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2021. Early application is not permitted. All entities should apply the amendments
in this Update on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt
securities. These amendments do not change the effective dates for Update 2017-08. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company does not
believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30 and June 30, 2020, the Company entered into certain contracts with customers (state-owned entities) where the Company’s services included freight costs and cost of commodities to be shipped to customers’ designated locations. The Company prepaid the costs of commodities and recognized as advance payments on behalf of its customers. These advance payments on behalf of the customers will be repaid to the Company when either the contract terms are expired or the contracts are terminated by the Company. As aforementioned customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts, they required additional time to pay. Due to significant uncertainty on whether the delayed contracts will be executed timely. As such, the Company had provided an allowance due to contract delay and recorded allowances of approximately $10.0 million.

11. LOANS PAYABLE
On
May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $124,570 under the U.S. Small Business Administration
(“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief
and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of
the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks
(or an extended 24-week covered period) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll,
benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The loan forgiveness amount will be reduced for any Economic Injury
Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) advance that the Company receives. The amount of loan forgiveness will be further reduced if
the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. The Company intends to use the proceeds for
purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions
for forgiveness of the loan and intends to file for loan forgiveness before December 2020, there can be no assurance that the
full amount of the loan will be forgiven. As of September 30, 2020, $124,570 of loan payable remains outstanding.
On
May 26, 2020, the Company received an advance in the amount of $155,900 from under the SBA EIDL program administered by the SBA
pursuant to the CARES Act. Such advance amount will reduce the Company’s PPP loan forgiveness amount described above. In
accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the SBA loans primarily for working capital
to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 31, 2020 and continuing thereafter. The SBA
loans are scheduled to mature on May 22, 2050 and have a 3.75% interest rate and are subject to the terms and conditions applicable
to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act. The monthly payable including principal and interest, of $731 commencing
on May 22, 2021. The balance of principal and interest will be payable 30 years from the date of May 22, 2020. $5,900 of the loan
will be forgiven. As of September 30, 2020, $155,900 of loan payable remains outstanding. Interest expense for the three months

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
The
Labor Contract Law of the PRC requires employers to insure the liability of the 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 September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the Company
has estimated its severance payments of approximately $92,000 and $84,000, 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 notice 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.
Note

and includes, among other things, refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating
loss carryback periods and alternative minimum tax credit refunds. The Company does not at present expect the provisions of the
CARES Act to have a material impact on its tax provision given the amount of net operating losses currently available.
The
Company’s income tax expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was nil for both period.

The
Company’s operations in the U.S. incurred a cumulative U.S. federal NOL of approximately $6,456,000 as of June 30, 2020
which may reduce future federal taxable income. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $549,000 of additional
NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $115,000, respectively. As of September 30, 2020,
the Company’s cumulative NOL amounted to approximately $7,005,000 which may reduce future federal taxable income, of which
approximately $1,400,000 will expire in 2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely.
The
Company’s operations in China incurred a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,961,000 as of June 30, 2020 which may reduce
future taxable income. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $3,000 of additional NOL was generated
and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $1,000. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s cumulative NOL
amounted to approximately $5,964,000 which may reduce future taxable income, of which approximately $675,000 start expiring from
2023 and the remaining balance of NOL will be expired by 2026.
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. Management considers new evidence, both positive
and negative, that could affect the Company’s future realization of 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.
The Company determined that it is more likely than not its deferred tax assets could not be realized due to uncertainty on future
earnings as a result of the deterioration of trade negotiation between US and China and the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020. The Company
provided a 100% allowance for its DTA as of September 30, 2020. The net increase in valuation for the three months ended September
30, 2020 amounted to approximately $270,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred
tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
October 15, 2020, the Company received from the Nasdaq a letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) indicating that it is not in
compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a
minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing. On its annual report for the period ended June 30,
2020, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of negative $357,900 and, as a result, does not currently satisfy Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). Nasdaq’s letter provides the Company 45 calendar days, or until November 30, 2020, to submit
a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, the Company can be granted up to 180 calendar days from October 15, 2020
to evidence compliance. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the continued listing
requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1) or that its plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. The Company is currently evaluating
its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholder equity requirement.
On
October 23, 2020, the Company deregistered Longhe Ship Management (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (“LSM”) which is 100% own
by Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd. (Hong Kong). LSM has not been in operation or carried on business after June 30, 2018. The result
of operations of LSM was immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
On
November 2 and November 3, 2020, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain “non-U.S. Persons”
as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate
of 860,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), each convertible into
one share of common stock, no par value, of Company (“Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations
and considerations set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, and warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase up to 1,032,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Offering”). The purchase price for each share of Series A
Preferred Stock and accompanying Warrants is $1.66. The net proceeds to the Company from this Offering will be approximately $1.43
million, not including any proceeds that may be received upon cash exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable
six (6) months following the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.99 for cash (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants
may also be exercised cashlessly if at any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date, there is no effective registration
statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares. The Warrants will expire five
and a half (5.5) years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions to reflect stock dividends
and splits or other similar transactions. The Warrants contain a mandatory exercise right for the Company to force exercise of
the Warrants if the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $5.97 for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, provided,
among other things, that the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are registered or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144
and the daily trading volume exceeds 60,000 shares of Common Stock per trading day on each trading day in a period of 20 consecutive
trading days prior to the applicable date. The Company has received the full amount of payment in November 2020.
