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 non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider. The Company provides tailored solutions and value-added services to its customers to drive efficiency and control in related steps throughout the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and the U.S. where a majority of the Company’s clients are located.

The Company operates in four operating segments including (1) shipping agency services, which are operated by its subsidiary in Hong Kong; (2) inland transportation management services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the U.S.; (3) freight logistics services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.; (4) container trucking services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S.

The Company developed a mobile application which provides a full-service logistics platform for shipping operations between the U.S. and the PRC for short-haul trucking in the U.S. and signed two significant agreements with COSCO Beijing International Freight Co., Ltd. (“COSFRE Beijing”) and Sino-Trans Guangxi Logistics Co. Ltd., respectively, in December 2016. Pursuant to the agreement with COSFRE Beijing, the Company receives a percentage of the transportation fees for the arrangement of inland transportation services for COSFRE Beijing’s container shipments into U.S. ports. The Company has increased its business in the U.S. since the launch of the short haul container truck services web-based platform. The Board subsequently authorized the Company to upgrade its enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”) in order to manage its operations in real time throughout its multiple locations and to integrate with web applications.

On September 11, 2017, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Ningbo Saimeinuo Supply Chain Management Ltd. (“Sino Ningbo”), via its wholly-owned entity, Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. This subsidiary primarily engages in transportation management and freight logistics services. Sino Ningbo’s operating results were included in the consolidated financial statements starting with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Starting with fiscal year 2019, current trade dynamics make it more expensive for shipping carrier clients to cost-effectively move cargo into U.S. ports, and as a result, the Company saw a lower shipping volumes and less utilization of its online platform, which has caused the Company to shift its focus to shipping agency business. The shipping agency industry in China has improved and the number of shipping agencies in overall in the country has decreased, due to both price and the inability of competitors to embrace technology as a resource in serving client needs.

On September 3, 2018, the Company entered into a co-operation agreement with Ningbo Far-East Universal Shipping Agency Co., Ltd to set up a joint venture in Hong Kong named Bright Far East International Shipping Agency Co., Ltd., to engage in worldwide shipping agency operations. The Company has 51% equity interests in the joint venture. Currently the Company is conducting the shipping agency business through its wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary and there was no major operation of the joint venture for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin, the Chief Executive Officer of a shipping management company in China, to set up a joint venture in New York named State Priests Management Ltd., which the Company will hold a 20% equity interest. The Company did not provide any cash contribution to the joint venture as the date of filing of this report.

Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

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

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Sino-China”), is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), with the Company as the primary beneficiary. The Company, through Trans Pacific Beijing, entered into certain agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. The Company does not receive any payments from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle the Company to any consideration if Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required to absorb such net loss.

As a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in the Company’s total revenues, and any loss from operations is consolidated with that of the Company. Because of contractual arrangements between the Company and Sino-China, the Company has a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and Sino-China.

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results because the entities are under common control in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”. The agency relationship between the Company and Sino-China and its branches is governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Company has substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Sino-China.

The carrying amount and classification of Sino-China’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

	March 31,		June 30,
	2019		2018
Total current assets	$	18,516	$	3,434,850
Total assets		121,733		3,992,131
Total current liabilities		29,212		21,979
Total liabilities		29,212		21,979

(c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions based on the best available information.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, other receivables, other current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

(d) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, income tax expense, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in the PRC, including Sino-China, report their financial positions and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity of the Company, and also included in non-controlling interests.

The exchange rates as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

					Three months ended March 31,				Nine months ended March 31,
Foreign currency	March 31, 2019 Balance Sheet		June 30, 2018 Balance Sheet		2019 Profits/Loss		2018 Profits/Loss		2019 Profits/Loss		2018 Profits/Loss
RMB:1USD		6.7114		6.6186		6.7499		6.3589		6.8229		6.5482
AUD:1USD		1.4092		1.3505		1.4031		1.2722		1.3885		1.2799
HKD:1USD		7.8495		7.8442		7.8461		7.8268		7.8402		7.8164
CAD:1USD		1.3342		1.3141		1.3291		1.2640		1.3192		1.2627

(f) Cash

Cash consists of cash on hand and deposits placed with banks which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use or have a term deposit of three months or less. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong and the U.S. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, cash balances of $3,300,434 and $6,205,960, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, which were not insured by any of the Chinese authorities. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, cash balance of $91,964 and $848,657, 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 hold its eligible deposit fails. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, cash balance of $106,967 and $9,601, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and approximately $64,000 were insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board.

(g)    Notes receivable

Notes receivable represents trade accounts receivable due from various customers where the customers’ banks have guaranteed the payment. The notes are non-interest bearing and normally paid within three to six months. The Company has the ability to submit request for payment to the customer’s bank earlier than the scheduled payment date, but will incur an interest charge and a processing fee.

(h) Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual receivable balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 180 days. Accounts Receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts.

Other receivables primarily consist of prepaid employee insurance and welfare benefits, which will be subsequently deducted from the employee payroll, guarantee deposits on behalf of ship owners as well as office lease deposits.

(i) Property and Equipment, net

Net property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	20 years
Motor vehicles	5-10 years
Furniture and office equipment	3-5 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of lease term or useful lives

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired by the Company when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. Management has determined that there were no impairments at the balance sheet dates.

(j) Intangible Assets, net

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Logistics platform 3 years

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

(k) Revenue Recognition

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (FASB ASC Topic 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of June 30, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue was recognized based on the amount of consideration expected to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations.

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time.

The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.

The Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon performance of services. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. The Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied.

● Revenues from shipping agency services are recognized upon completion of services, which coincides with the date of departure of the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as advances from customers.  

● Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customers’ warehouse.

● Revenues from freight logistics services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

● Revenues from container trucking services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

(l) Taxation

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

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2019 and June 30 2018, respectively.

Income tax returns for the years prior to 2015 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”). Under the provisions of the TCJA, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Additionally, the TCJA imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to re-measure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and recorded a one-time transition tax expense.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under the PRC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“PRC GAAP”) at 25%. Sino-China, Trans Pacific and Sino Ningbo are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC.

PRC Business Tax and Surcharges

Revenues from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates, including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to the PRC business tax of 5%. Business tax and surcharges are paid on gross revenues generated from shipping agency services minus the costs of services which are paid on behalf of the customers.

In addition, under the PRC regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates are required to pay the city construction tax (7%) and education surcharges (3%) based on the calculated business tax payments.

The Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates report revenues net of PRC’s business tax and surcharges for all the periods presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(m) Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised or converted into common shares of the Company. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company because the Company generated a net loss. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the basic average shares outstanding and diluted average shares of the Company outstanding were not the same because the effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company was dilutive since the exercise prices for options were lower than the average market price for the related periods. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, a total of 34,686 and 46,283 unexercised options were dilutive and were included, respectively, in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

(n) Comprehensive Income (loss)

The Company reports comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with the FASB-issued authoritative guidance which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its component in financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss), as defined, includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources.

(o) Stock-based Compensation

Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

(p) Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements adopted

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

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment awards, ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. On July 1, 2018, the Company has adopted this ASU. The Company determined the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pronouncements not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase the transparency and comparability about leases among entities. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a corresponding lease asset for virtually all lease contracts. It also requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption assuming the Company will remain an emerging growth company at that date. Early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, which to clarify effective dates that public business entities and other entities were required to adopt ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC adopting ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU No. 2017-13 also amended that all components of a leveraged lease be recalculated from inception of the lease based on the revised after tax cash flows arising from the change in the tax law, including revised tax rates. The difference between the amounts originally recorded and the recalculated amounts must be included in income of the year in which the tax law is enacted. The Company plans to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance largely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees, whereby the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company plans to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The ASU is required to be applied on a prospective basis to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company is still evaluating the effect that this guidance but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures 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 is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2018-13 will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

(r) Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation mainly reclassifying advance to suppliers to prepaid expenses – long term (see Note 4 and 5). These reclassifications have no effect on the reported revenues, net income or total assets.

(the “Buyer” or “Zhiyuan Hong Kong”). Zhiyuan Hong Kong, which is jointly owned by the Company’s largest shareholder along with China Minmetals Corporation and China Metallurgical Group Corporation, acts as the general designer, general equipment provider and general service contractor in the upgrade and renovation project of Perwaja Steel, located in Malaysia (the “Project”). The Company agreed to provide high-quality services, including the design of a detailed transportation plan as well as execution and necessary supervision of the plan at Zhiyuan Hong Kong’s demand, for which the Company will receive 1% to 1.25% of the transportation fees incurred in the Project as a commission for its services rendered. On July 7, 2017, the Company signed a supplemental agreement with the Buyer, in which the Company agreed to cooperate exclusively with Zhiyuan Hong Kong on the entire Project’s transportation needs with respect to transporting construction materials from manufacturers to the port of Malaysia and to the factory site. Pursuant to the supplemental agreement, the Company agreed to make prepayments to Zhiyuan Hong Kong for its share of packaging and transporting costs related to the Project; in return, the Company received 15% of the costs incurred in the Project from Zhiyuan Hong Kong as a service fee. The Company has completed its services pursuant to the supplemental agreement and received a $575,115 service fee in June 2018. The entire advance was reimbursed to the Company in September 2018.

Note 9. EQUITY

Stock issuance:

On March 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, at a price of $1.50 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $3 million. The placement agent received a cash commission fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds. The offering closed on March 14, 2018. The offering of the 2 million shares was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-222098), which was originally filed with the SEC on December 15, 2017, and was declared effective by the SEC on February 16, 2018. The Company agreed in the purchase agreement that it would not issue any common stock for 60 calendar days following the closing of the offering and each of the Company’s executive officers and directors agreed to a lock-up period of 60 days from the date of the purchase agreement.

Concurrently with the registered direct offering closed on March 14, 2018, the Company sold the investors Series “A” warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and Series “B” warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. The sale of the Series “A” warrants and Series “B” warrants is a private placement in reliance upon an exemption afforded under Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Series “A” warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018, and expire five and a half (5.5) years from the date of issuance. The Series B warrants are exercisable as of September 14, 2018, and expire thirteen (13) months from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or dividends, or other similar transactions, but not as a result of future securities offerings at lower prices. Net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares and the warrants after deducting offering expenses and placement agent fees were $2,585,091.

On April 26, 2018, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to register the resale of an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the Series A and B Warrants mentioned above. The S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2018.

The warrants are classified as equity since they qualify for exception from derivative accounting as they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and require net share settlement. The fair value of the warrants of $1,074,140 is valued based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recorded as additional paid-in capital from common stock based on the relative fair value of proceeds received using the following assumptions:

	Series A			Series B

Contingencies

The Labor Contract Law of the PRC requires employers to insure the liability of severance payments for terminated employees that have worked for the employers for at least two years prior to January 1, 2008. The employers will be liable for one month for severance pay for each year of the service provided by the employees. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company has estimated its severance payments of $78,000 and $59,000, respectively, which have not been reflected in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, because management cannot predict what the actual payment, if any, will be in the future.

Sino-Global has employment agreements with each of Mr. Lei Cao, Ms. Tuo Pan and Mr. Zhikang Huang. These employment agreements provide for five-year terms that extend automatically in the absence of termination provided at least 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the agreement. If the Company fails to provide this notice or if the Company wishes to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, then the Company is obligated to provide at least 30 days’ prior notice. In such case during the initial term of the agreement, the Company would need to pay such executive (i) the remaining salary through the date of December 31, 2023, (ii) two times of the then applicable annual salary if there has been no Change in Control, as defined in the employment agreements or three-and-half times of the then applicable annual salary if there is a Change in Control.

From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. The Company was named as a defendant in a breach of service contract lawsuit in the amount of $225,000 filed with the California Superior Court on January 19, 2018. The Company filed a motion with the court to force the plaintiff into arbitration rather than to litigate the dispute in court based on the arbitration provision in the contract. The California Superior Court approved its motion to stay the case pending the resolution of the arbitration and has scheduled a further status conference for June 4, 2019 to get another update about the status of the arbitration. In Indianapolis, this matter has been agreed to settle in exchange for 40,000 restrictive shares of common stock of the Company to the plaintiff, pending the execution of a settlement agreement. As a result of the anticipated settlement, the arbitration in Indianapolis is dismissed and the litigation in California is expected to be dismissed. The Company estimates the accrued liability to be approximately $35,000 and believes it will not likely have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated operations or financial position.

(UNAUDITED)

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

The Company’s taxes payable consists of the following:

Note 14. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial information of the separate operating segments when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the group. The Company has determined that it has four operating segments: (1) shipping agency services; (2) inland transportation management services; (3) freight logistics services; and (4) container trucking services. The Company combined freight logistics services and bulk cargo container services into one segment starting from first quarter of 2019 as both segments have similar nature of services (cargo freight) and was provided to the same customer base. Due to the current economic trade dynamic, the Company has not generated any revenue from bulk cargo container services for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and expects revenue from bulk container trucking to generate less than 5% of its revenue for fiscal year 2019. Revenue from bulk cargo container services accounted for 0% and 4% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

The following tables present summary information by segment for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in the report. 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.

Overview

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

Sales in the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by $17,572,969 or 337.9%, from $5,220,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, to $22,773,139. The increase was mainly due to the fact that we continued to expand our freight logistics segment through continuing co-operations with our major customers. Revenue from the freight logistics segment increased approximately $18.0 million or 503.8% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we generated approximately $1.0 million in revenue fromproviding shipping agency services. We transitioned back into the shipping agency business in the second quarter of 2019 since we have an integrated online logistics platform that allows us to handle a wider base of customers in China and ports throughout the world.

On January 1, 2019, the Company signed a shipment service agreement with Chongqing Iron and Steel Company (“Chongqing Iron and Steel”) which engaged the Company to ship one million tons of iron ore and coal to the designated port of Chongqing with service period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. This business relationship will further enhance and develop our freight logistics business.

2019 Trends

In the past few years, we have sought diversification for our business and have developed freight logistics, container trucking and inland transportation management segments and temporarily suspended our shipping agency business. However, with our decades of experiences in the shipping agency business and solid business relationships with statement-owned enterprise such as Bao-Steel, Capital Steel, and China Ocean Shipping Group Company (COSCO) , we believe it is in our best interests to redirect our focus to this segment in 2019 based on our assessment of current global trading environments. Since we transitioned back into the shipping agency business, we have significantly increased revenues from our subsidiary in Hong Kong. Our goal for the next couple of years is to further develop our shipping agency business by expanding it into our subsidiaries in the U.S. in hopes to bring in more revenues and increase profit. To our knowledge, we are one of the few shipping agents specialized in providing a full range of general shipping agency services in China and the only such shipping agency company listed on a major stock exchange in the United States (“U.S.”) as most other shipping agencies that operate in this segment are much smaller. The market in this industry is fragmented. Our IT infrastructure currently under development, and our business insight to build a global network of shipping agencies. In addition, our current business segments such as freight logistics and container trucking can also be integrated to provide more comprehensive logistics services for our customers.

On April 10, 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin, the Chief Executive Officer of a shipping management company in China, to set up a joint venture in New York named State Priests Management Ltd., which the Company will hold a 20% equity interest. Our goal is to bring in more revenues and increase profit for our operations in the U.S. through this cooperation. The Company has not provided any cash contribution to the joint venture as of the date of this filing.

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 People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and the U.S. , where a majority of our clients are located.

We operate in four operating segments, including (1) shipping agency services, operated by our subsidiary in Hong Kong; (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 combined freight logistics and bulk cargo container services into one segment beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 as both segments offer similar services (cargo freight) and serve the same customer base. Due to the current economic trade dynamic, we have not generated any revenue from bulk cargo container services for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and expect revenue from bulk container trucking to generate less than 5% of our revenue for fiscal year 2019. Revenue from bulk cargo container services accounted for 0% and 4.0% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. 

On September 11, 2017 we also set up Ningbo Saimeinuo Supply China Management Ltd. (Sino Ningbo) which mainly engages in transportation management and freight logistics services. Sino Ningbo’s operating results were included in the consolidated financial statements starting from the fiscal year 2018. 

On September 3, 2018, we entered into a co-operation agreement with Ningbo Far-East Universal Shipping Agency Co., Ltd to set up a joint venture in Hong Kong named Bright Far East International Shipping Agency Co., Ltd., to engage in worldwide shipping agency operations. We have 51% equity interests in the joint venture. Ningbo Far-East is one of the top ranking shipping agencies for private enterprises in Ningbo and Zhoushan ports in China. Currently we are conducting the shipping agency business through our wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary and there was no major operation of the joint venture for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019.

As described above under the heading 2019 Trends, we will have a 20% equity interest in a joint venture named State Priests Management Ltd. formed with Mr. Weijun Qin, the Chief Executive Officer of a shipping management company in China, in the state of New York on April 10, 2019.

Revenues 

(1) Revenues from Shipping Agency Services

In mid-2018, the Company decided to transition back into the shipping agency business, because the Company now has an integrated online logistics platform that allows it to handle a wider base of customers in both China and other ports throughout the world. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping agency services generated revenues of $956,583 and $0, respectively, representing a 100.0% increase in both revenues and gross profit. The increase in this segment revenue was due to the increase in the total number of ships served. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we served 29 ships.

(2) Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services

In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group, a related party, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain solutions to help control the potential loss of commodities during the transportation process. The Company also began providing inland transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest, following the quarter ended September 2014. Both contracts have been extended to FY 2019. The service fee charge was RMB 32 per ton transported for Tengda Northwest and RMB 38 per ton transported for Zhiyuan Investment Group. The service fee charge rates are determined by the scope of services provided.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, inland transportation management services generated related party revenue of $36,380 and $501,000, respectively, representing a decrease of $464,620 or 92.7%. The decrease was mainly from a decrease in quantity transported of 6,532 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 83,837 tons for the same period in 2018, coupled with the effects of appreciation of USD against RMB. The exchange rate for US$1 to RMB was 6.7499 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to US$1 to RMB 6.3594 for the same period in 2018.

Revenue generated from Tengda Northwest for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $93,407 and $934,872, respectively. The overall decrease in revenue of $841,465 or 90.0% was mainly due to a decrease in quantities transported. Transported quantities were 19,916 tons for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 184,706 tons for the same period in 2018. The decrease in quantity, combined with the effect of currency fluctuations resulted in the decrease in revenue. As the customers have obtained more experience in controlling potential loss of commodities, the need for our services has diminished.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, gross profit of inland transportation management services amounted to $81,037 and $1,344,596, respectively, which represented a 94.0% decrease. Overall gross margins for this segment decreased to 62.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, from 93.6% for the same period in 2018. The decrease in gross margins in the current period was mainly due to the increase in cost compared to the same period in 2018.

(3) Revenues from Freight Logistic Services

Freight Logistic Services consist primarily of cargo forwarding, brokerage and other freight services in China. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenues increased by $18,022,382 or 503.8%. As discussed previously, we combined freight logistics and bulk cargo container services into one segment starting from the first quarter of 2019. We have not generated any revenue from bulk cargo container services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The revenue increase was primarily due to the increase of our customer base with larger transaction amounts. Three of our major customers during the three months ended March 31, 2019 accounted for, in aggregate, approximately $20.1 million or 88.2 % of the revenues generated. Our gross profit margin decreased by 3.7% from 10.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 7.0% for the same period in 2019, which was due to higher percentage increases in cost. Even with the same customers, every transaction has unique gross margins due to differing service scopes. Usually, an engagement where the Company provides a broader set of services generates a higher gross margin and an engagement with a more limited scope generates a lower gross margin. Our proportion of limited scope engagements increased significantly, including revenue from our three largest customers, and contributed a greater portion of revenue in this sector than full-service business, as compared to the prior period.

(4) Revenues from Container Trucking Services

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, revenues generated from container trucking services were $87,094 and $187,005, respectively. Overall revenues from this segment decrease by $99,911 or 53.4%. The related gross profit was 22,036 and decreased by $46,302, from a gross profit of $68,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in revenues from this segment was primarily due to the pending trade negotiations with China, which decreased container shipments from China to the U.S. Gross profit margin decreased by 11.2% because we had a higher percentage decrease in sales than costs for this segment. 

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased by $19,084,060 or 388.0%, from $4,918,312 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to $24,002,372 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and cost of revenues as discussed below.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019						2018						Change
	US$			%			US$			%			US$			%
Revenues		22,773,139			100.0	%		5,200,170			100.0	%		17,572,969			337.9	%
Cost of revenues		21,075,195			92.5	%		3,405,435			65.5	%		17,669,760			518.9	%
Gross margin		7.5	%					34.5	%					(27.1%	)
Selling expenses		140,601			0.6	%		35,363			0.7	%		105,238			297.6	%
General and administrative expenses		2,637,868			11.6	%		1,196,806			23.0	%		1,441,062			120.4	%
Stock-based compensation		148,708			0.7	%		280,708			5.4	%		(132,000	)		(47.0	%)
Total Costs and Expenses		24,002,372			105.4	%		4,918,312			94.6	%		19,084,060			388.0	%

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues consisted primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers. Cost of revenues was $21,075,195 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $17,669,760 or 518.9%, as compared to $3,405,435 for the same period in 2018. The overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues increased from 65.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 92.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase of costs resulted primarily from the freight logistics services segment, which was due to an increase in freight cost of carriers, as well as a result of rising fuel costs.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses consisted primarily of business promotion, salaries and commissions for our operating staff at the ports in which we provide services. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had $140,601 of selling expenses, as compared to $35,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represents an increase of $105,238 or 297.6%. The increase, as a dollar amount, in selling expenses was incurred as part of our efforts to maintain our current customer relationships. As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses was 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 0.7% for the corresponding period in 2018, which remained consistent.

30

General and Administrative Expenses

The Company’s general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, office rent, office expenses, bad debt, regulatory filings and listing fees, amortization of stock-based compensation expenses, legal, accounting and other professional service fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had $2,637,868 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $1,196,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which represents an increase of $1,441,062 or 120.4%. The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts was $1,583,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared with a provision for doubtful accounts of $570,712 for the same period in 2018. The increase was due to slower collections from customers with significant increased credit sales. As we continue our business relationship with several large customers, we are monitoring the collection closely with respect to our trade accounts receivable. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 23.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to 11.6% for the same period in 2019, which is mainly attributable to higher operating efficiency with increased revenue.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation was $148,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $132,000, or 47.0%, as compared to $280,708 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in stock-based compensation was because shares of common stock issued in October 2017 were already fully amortized prior to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Operating Income (Loss)

We had an operating loss of $1,229,233 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to an operating income of $281,858 for the comparable period in 2018. The change was mainly due to the increased costs of revenue, selling, general and administrative and the decreased stock-based compensation expenses discussed above.

Financial Income, Net

Our net financial income was $2,499 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $170,134 for the same period in 2018. We have operations mainly in the U.S., Hong Kong and the PRC. Our financial income for this reporting period primarily reflects foreign currency transaction income or loss expressed in U.S. dollars.

Taxation

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”). Under the provisions of the TCJA, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. Since we have a June 30 fiscal year-end, a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 is applied to the provision for income tax and a 21% for subsequent fiscal years.

As of March 31, 2019, we re-measured deferred tax assets based on a current effective rate of 21% at which these deferred tax amounts are expected to reverse in the future.

We have incurred a cumulative pre-2017 net operating loss (“NOL”) of approximately $1,421,000, as of June 30, 2018, which may reduce future federal taxable income. The NOL will expire in 2036. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, a total of approximately $833,000 of NOL which includes an approximately $413,000 increase in allowance for doubtful accounts was generated. The tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $175,000. We recorded an income tax expense of $248,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $216,095 for the same period in 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, current income tax increased by $273,272 or 433.1%, as compared to the same period in 2018; the increase was primarily caused by increased operating income from the PRC.

31

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a total deferred income tax benefit of $87,547, which was mainly due to the increase in allowance for bad debt offset by the increase in NOL, and valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets based on the Company’s latest projected taxable income. We periodically evaluate the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent we believe a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. We have provided an allowance against the deferred tax assets balance as of March 31, 2019. The net increase in valuation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $558,700, based on management’s reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its future realization of deferred tax assets. Due to the Company’s forecasted pretax income and continuing utilization of NOL, management has determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that all of the Company’s deferred taxes are realizable. 

Net Income (loss)

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $1,475,554 for the three month ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income of $235,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to the Company was $1,388,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $84,954 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Comprehensive loss attributable to the Company was $1,116,877 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a comprehensive income attributable to the Company of $369,558 for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018

Revenues

Revenues increased by $23,987,297 or 151.8%, from $15,800,662 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to $39,787,959 for the same period in 2019. The increase was due to our continuing efforts to diversify our business, resulting in the increase in revenues generated from the Company’s freight logistics services segment and shipping agency services as we transitioned back to this segment from the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

The following tables present summary information by segments for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Revenues

(1) Shipping Agency Services

In mid-2018, the Company decided to transition back into the shipping agency business, because it now has an integrated online logistics platform that allows it to handle a wider base of customers in China and other ports throughout the world. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping agency services generated revenues of $1,845,653 and $0, respectively, representing a 100.0% increase in both revenues and gross profit. The increase in this segment revenue was due to the increase in the total number of ships served. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we served 51 ships.

(2) Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services

In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group, a related party, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain solutions to help control the potential loss of commodities during the transportation process. The Company also began providing inland transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest, following the quarter ended September 2014. Both contracts have been extended to FY 2019. For Tengda Northwest, the service fee charge was RMB 32 per ton and RMB 38 per ton for Zhiyuan Investment Group. The rates are determined by the scope of services provided.

33

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, inland transportation management services generated related party revenue of $433,380 and $1,621,406, respectively, representing a 73.3% decrease. The decrease was mainly from a decrease in quantities transported of 77,804 tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 281,382 tons for same period in 2018 coupled with the effects of appreciation of USD against RMB. The exchange rate for US$1 to RMB was 6.8229 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 6.5482 for the same period in 2018.

Revenue generated from Tengda Northwest for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $1,036,407 and $2,626,773, respectively. The overall decrease in revenue from third party of $1,590,366 or 60.5% was mainly due to the decrease in quantity transported. Transported quantities were 221,557 tons for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 535,540 tons for the same period in 2018. The decrease in quantities transported, combined with the effect of currency fluctuations, resulted in the decrease in revenue.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, gross profit of inland transportation management services amounted to $1,341,163 and $3,800,728, respectively, representing a 64.7% decrease. Overall gross margins for this segment increased to 91.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 from 89.5% for the same period in 2018. Gross margins for both periods remained relatively consistent.

(3) Revenues from Freight Logistic Services

Freight Logistic Services primarily consist of cargo forwarding, brokerage and other freight services. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, revenues increased $25,250,419 or 233.5%. As discussed previously, we combined freight logistics and bulk cargo container services into one segment starting from first quarter of 2019 and we have not generated any revenue from bulk cargo container services for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue from bulk cargo container services accounted for 4.0% of total revenue 5.9% of segment revenue and for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

The revenue increase was primarily due to the increase of our customer base with larger transaction amounts. Three of our major customers during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 collectively attributed approximately $25.9 million or 65.1% of the revenues generated. Our gross profit margin decreased by 2.3% from 12.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to 9.7% for the same period in 2019 due to higher percentage increase in costs than sales for this segment. Even with the same customer, every transaction has a unique gross margin due to differing service scopes. Generally, an engagement where the Company provides a broader set of services generates a higher gross margin, and an engagement of a more limited scope has a lower gross margin. Our proportion of limited scope engagements increased significantly, such as revenue from the three major customers, and contributed a much higher portion of revenue in this sector than full-service business compared to the prior period.

(4) Revenues from Container Trucking Services

For the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, revenues generated from container trucking services were $406,368 and $736,751, respectively. Overall revenues from this segment decreased by $330,383 or 44.8%. The decrease was partially due to the disposition of our former joint venture company named ACH Trucking Center Corp. (“ACH Center”), which had $42,968 in revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in revenues from this segment was primarily due to the pending trade negotiations with China which decreased container shipments from China to the U.S. The related gross profit decreased by $201,567 from $255,020 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to $53,453 for the same period in 2019 Gross profit margin decreased by 21.5% because we had a higher percentage decrease in sales than costs for this segment. 

34

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses increased by $28,642,356 or 192.1%, from $14,908,206 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to $43,550,562 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensations and cost of revenues as discussed below.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated:

	For the Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019						2018						Change
	US$			%			US$			%			US$			%
Revenues		39,787,959			100.0	%		15,800,662			100.0	%		23,987,297			151.8	%

Total Costs and Expenses		43,550,562			109.6	%		14,908,206			94.3	%		28,642,356			192.1	%

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 $34,715,624 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $24,268,393, or 232.3%, as compared to $10,447,231 for the same period in 2018. The overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues increased from 66.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, to 87.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The increase of costs was mainly from the freight logistics services segment due to an increase in freight cost of carriers as well as a result of rising fuel costs. Cost of revenues for freight logistics and container trucking services consist primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses consisted primarily of business promotion, salaries and commissions for our operating staff at the ports at which we provide services. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we had $507,199 of selling expenses, as compared to $393,090 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, which represents an increase of $114,109 or 29.0%. Selling expenses continues to increase as our business grows. As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses was 1.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 2.5% for the corresponding period in 2018.

General and Administrative Expenses

The Company’s general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, office rent, office expenses, regulatory filing and listing fees, legal, accounting and other professional service fees. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we had $6,314,447 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $3,444,095 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $2,870,352, or 83.3%. The Company’s provision for doubtful accounts was $2,871,752 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared with a provision for doubtful accounts of $1,408,143 for the same period in 2018. The increase was due to slower collections from customers in the inland transportation segment. As we continue our business relationships with several large customers, we are monitoring collection closely with respect to our trade accounts receivable. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 21.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to 15.9% for the same period in 2019.

35

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation was $2,013,292 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $1,389,502, or 222.8%, as compared to $623,790 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The significant increase in stock-based compensation was due to additional shares of common stock issued to employees and management. 

Operating Income (Loss)

We had an operating loss of $3,762,603 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to an operating income of $892,456 for the comparable period in 2018. The significant operating loss for the current period was mainly due to the increased costs of revenue, general and administrative expenses and stock-based compensation expenses discussed above.

Financial Income, Net

Our net financial income was $3,993 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $392,729 for the same period in 2018. We have operations mainly in the U.S., Hong Kong and the PRC; our financial income for this reporting period primarily reflects the foreign currency transaction income or loss expressed in U.S. dollars.

 Taxation

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”). Under the provisions of the TCJA, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. Since we have a June 30 fiscal year-end, a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 is applied to the provision for income tax and a 21% for subsequent fiscal years.

As of March 31, 2019, we re-measured deferred tax assets based on a current effective rate of 21% at which these deferred tax amounts are expected to reverse in the future.

We have incurred a cumulative pre-2017 NOL of approximately $1,421,000 as of June 30, 2018, which may reduce future federal taxable income. The NOL will expire in 2036. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, a total of approximately $1,558,000 of NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $327,000. We recorded an income tax expense of $427,333 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to income tax benefit of $58,597 for the same period in 2018. For the nine months ended March 31, 2019, current income tax decreased by $226,723 or 26.3%, as compare to the same period in 2018; the decrease is mainly caused by the one-time transition tax in 2018. We had approximately $1,558,000 of operating loss in the U.S., which includes non-deductible stock compensation expenses of $1,473,500 and approximately $1,643,000 increase in allowance for doubtful accounts.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a total deferred income tax expense of approximately $208,047, which was mainly due to the increase in allowance for bad debt and offset by the increase in NOL, and valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets based on the Company’s latest projected taxable income.

 We periodically evaluate the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. We have provided an allowance against the deferred tax assets balance as of March 31, 2019. The net increase in valuation for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $986,200, on the basis of management’s reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its future realization of deferred tax assets. Due the Company’s forecasted pretax income and continuing utilization of NOL, management has determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that all of its deferred taxes are realizable.

Net Income (loss)

As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $4,185,943 for the nine month ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income of $1,343,782 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to the Company was $4,179,524 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $999,846 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Comprehensive loss attributable to the Company was $4,529,845 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a comprehensive income attributable to the Company of $1,561,395 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

As of March 31, 2019, we had $3,523,907 in cash. We held approximately 5.7% of our cash in banks located in New York, Los Angeles, Australia and Hong Kong and held approximately 94.3% of our cash in banks located in the PRC.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

Current Ratio		2.23		3.38		(1.15	)		(34.1	%)

We finance our ongoing operating activities primarily by using funds from our operations and raising capital. We routinely monitor current and expected operational requirements to evaluate the use of available funding sources. In assessing liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand, ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. We plan to fund continuing operations through identifying new prospective joint venture and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. Considering our existing working capital position and ability to access other funding sources, we believe that the foregoing measures will provide sufficient liquidity for us to meet our future liquidity and capital obligations. We believe we have sufficient working capital for the twelve months from the issuance of this report.

We entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Xiangbin Huang, an accredited investor based in the People’s Republic of China (the “Investor”) on November 8, 2018, pursuant to which we agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from us, through a private placement, such number of shares of the common stock, no par value per share, shall be issuable at a purchase price per share equal to 120% of the average closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ Stock Market over the five consecutive trading day period immediately prior to the closing of the transaction for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000. On December 10, 2018, we and the Investor entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”, together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”) pursuant to which the parties reduced the aggregate gross proceeds to us to $500,000 in the transaction. The private placement above referenced closed on December 10, 2018. As a result, the Investor owns a total of 420,168 shares of the common stock, on a $1.19 per share purchase price, approximately 3.1% of our issued and outstanding shares of the common stock on a pre-transaction basis. The Agreements sets forth a one-year restrictive period. An appropriate legend has been affixed to the certificate for such shares.

Operating Activities 

Our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.8 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in operating cash outflow is primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $4.2 million, in which approximately $2.0 million was non-cash stock compensation expense. We had an increase of approximately $8.3 million in accounts receivable due to slower collections from customers with increased credit sales offset by approximately $2.9 million of provisions for doubtful accounts, an increase of approximately $2.5 million in long-term deposits, an increase in advances to third party suppliers of approximately $0.4 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 $0.8 million, which mainly consisted of software development costs for ERP system, various fees, including fees for leasing system hardware and other related consulting fees, incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million due from related parties and an increase of approximately $1.3 million in accounts payable.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, including net income of approximately $1.3 million from increased revenue generated from freight logistics services, deferred tax benefit of approximately $0.9 million, provision for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.4 million and amortization of stock-based compensation to consultants and employees of approximately $0.6 million as reconciled. In the current period, accounts receivable increased by approximately $3.2 million and the amount due from related parties increased approximately $0.8 million because of increased revenue for the period. On the other hand, taxes payable increased by approximately $0.8 million primarily due to the one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, for the purchase of a motor vehicle.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, because we purchased a motor vehicle, office equipment and started leasehold improvements of our new Ningbo office for total amount of approximately $0.4 million. We also completed four applications in our logistics information platform which costs of approximately $0.2 million and we made a deposit of approximately $0.4 million for the development of our next phase of the platform.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 due to cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock to a private investor.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as we completed an equity financing in which we sold 2 million shares of our common stock and 4 million warrants for total net proceeds of approximately $2.6 million.

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.

There have been no other material changes during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 in our significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. The discussion of our critical accounting policies contained in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, “Summary of our Significant Accounting Policies”, is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 March 31, 2019, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
