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” or “China”)
(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 subsidiaries in the U.S.; (2) freight logistics services,
which are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC; (3) container trucking services, which are operated by its subsidiaries in the U.S.
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. (“LSM”) , in which the Company holds a 40 % equity interest. As of September 30, 2021, the Company made its capital injection
in the amount of $ 210,010 . 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. There has been no operation for LSM for the
years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. On October 11, 2021, Mr. Shanming Liang, transferred his ownership of shares of LSM to Guanxi Golden
Bridge Industry Group Co., Ltd.
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.
On July 31, 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 years ended June
30, 2020 and 2019.
On December 14, 2020, the Company incorporated
a new entity named “Blumargo IT Solution Ltd.” with 80 % ownership in partnership with Tianjin Anboweiye Technology Co. to
build up hi-tech and information-based logistic services to meet the higher and complicate demand of customers. On June 30, 2021, the
company increased the ownership to 100 %.
Starting from March 2021, the Company started
cryptocurrency mining. The Company plans to leverage information technology and other innovative technologies in its business platform.
These types of technology may be helpful in expanding its traditional logistics service expertise. Starting from March 2, 2021, the Company
accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment for its global shipping, freight, and logistics services. Payments made in Bitcoin will be made at
the rate applicable at the payment date.
On April 13, 2021, the Company formed a joint
venture in which the Company owned 99 % equity interest of Hainan Saimeinuo Trading Co., Ltd., in the free tax zone in Hainan Province,
China, with a register capital of approximately $ 1.5 million. This subsidiary primarily engages in freight logistics services.
5
On April 21, 2021, the Company entered into a
cooperation agreement with Mr. Bangpin Yu to set up a joint venture in U.S. named “Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc . ”
to support its freight logistics services in the U.S. The Company has a 51 % equity interest in the joint venture.
In July 2021, the company registered a new company
Gorgeous Trading Ltd. Which is 100 % owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. This company will be mainly responsible for the Company’s
smart warehouse and related business in Texas.
On August 31, 2021, the company formed
a joint venture, Phi Electric Motor, Inc. in New York, which is 51 % owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. for development and
sales of electric motors. There has been no operations as of September 30, 2021.
On September 29, 2021, 2021, the
company formed a 100 % owned subsidiary, SG Shipping & Risk Solution Inc. in New York to support the Company’s logistic services. There has been no operations as of
September 30, 2021.
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.. 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, 2021. 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.
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

(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.
7
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, 2021 and
June 30, 2021 and for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 and June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 1,146,909 and $ 628,039 , respectively, were
maintained at financial institutions in the PRC. $ 733,830 and $ 201,990 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, 2021
and June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 41,792,209 and $ 44,203,436 , respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial institutions. $ 41,108,552
and $ 43,507,335 of these balances are not covered by insurance, as each U.S. account was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or other programs subject to $ 250,000 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 September 30, 2021 and
June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 8,894 and $ 3,698 , respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and were insured
by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board. As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 244 and $ 693 , 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, 2021 and June 30, 2021, amount of deposits the Company had covered by insurance amounted to $ 1,105,874
and $ 1,125,838 , respectively.
(g) Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies, mainly bitcoin, are included
in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cryptocurrencies purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies
awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for as other revenue of the Company for the three months ended September
30, 2021. Fair value of the cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time
of receipt. Cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are recorded as other income and as operating activities
in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Cryptocurrencies held are accounted for as intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually,
or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived
asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the
cryptocurrency at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a
qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more
likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is
required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost
basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.
(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 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 nil and $ 30,757 allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company recovered nil and $ 2,404 of accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30,
2021 and 2020 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.
9
(i) 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
Mining equipment
3 years
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, 2021 and 2020, no impairment were recorded, respectively.
(j) Investments in unconsolidated entity
Entities in which the Company has the ability
to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence
is generally considered to exist when the Company has voting shares representing 20 % to 50 %, and other factors, such as representation
on the board of directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method
of accounting is appropriate. Under this method of accounting, the Company records its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses
of equity method investees and a corresponding increase or decrease to the investment balances. Dividends received from the equity method
investments are recorded as reductions in the cost of such investments. The Company generally considers an ownership interest of 20 % or
higher to represent significant influence. The Company accounts for the investments in entities over which it has neither control nor
significant influence, and no readily determinable fair value is available, using the investment cost minus any impairment, if necessary.
Investments are evaluated for impairment when
facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the long-term investment is less than its carrying value. An impairment loss is
recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether
a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (i) nature of the investment; (ii) cause and duration
of the impairment; (iii) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (iv) financial condition and near term prospects of the investment;
and (v) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. 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. 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 the company recorded $ 210,010 investment in unconsolidated entity and no events
have occurred that indicated another-than-temporary for the three months ended September 30.
(k) 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.
10
The Company uses a five-step model to recognize
revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires the Company to (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.
The Company’s disaggregated revenue streams
are described as follows:

(l) 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.
11
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, 2021 and 2020.
Income tax returns for the years prior to 2018
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 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.
(m) 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, 2021
and 2020, there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company because the Company generated net loss.
(n) 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.
(o) 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.
12
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.
(p) 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, 2021. 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.
(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
13
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 adoption
of this new standard did not have a material impact on the 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 believes the adoption of this
new standard will not have a material impact on the 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 adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10,
“Codification Improvements”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended
application of guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative
cost to most entities. The amendments in this Update affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities
within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2020-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after July 1, 2021 for public
business entities. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material impact on the 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 September30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, 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 as of June 30, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recovered $ 1,929,715 and $ nil , respectively.

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 (the “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. On February 24, 2021, the full amount of PPP loan was forgiven and no principle or interest need
to be repaid, so the Company record such as a gain for the year ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, none of PPP 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 of $731, including principal and interest, commenced 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, 2021, $153,629
of loan payable remains outstanding. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 for this loan was $ 1,384

13. LEASES
The
Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified
as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the
lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset,
together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option
which result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases.
The
Company has several vehicle lease agreements and office lease agreements with lease terms ranging from two to three years . Upon adoption
of ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized lease liabilities of approximately $ 1.2 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
approximately 10.69 %. As of September 30, 2021, ROU assets and lease liabilities amounted to $ 1,683,494 and $ 1,704,785 (including $ 510,629
from lease liabilities current portion and $ 1,194,156 from lease liabilities noncurrent portion), respectively and weighted average discount
rate was approximately 10.74 %.
18
The
Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The leases
generally do not contain options to extend at the time of expiration and the weighted average remaining lease terms are 3.82 years.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, rent expense amounted to approximately $ 118,178 and $ 76,000 , respectively.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
From
time to time, the Company may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business.
Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was
not aware of any litigations or lawsuits against them.

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

The
Company’s operations in the U.S. incurred a cumulative U.S. federal NOL of approximately $ 12,543,000 as of June 30, 2021, which
may reduce future federal taxable income. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $ 1,397,000 of NOL was generated
and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $ 293,000 , respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s cumulative
NOL amounted to approximately $ 13,940,000 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, 2021 which may reduce future
taxable income. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $ 17,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit
derived from such NOL was approximately $ 4,000 , respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s cumulative NOL amounted to
approximately $ 6,026,000 which may reduce future taxable income, of which approximately $ 711, 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 2021. The Company
provided a 100 % allowance for its DTA as of September 30, 2021. The net decrease in valuation for the three months ended September 30,
2021 amounted to approximately $ 996,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets
that are more likely than not to be realized.
The
Company’s taxes payable consists of the following:

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 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
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 2021, while we continue to provide our current
traditional logistics business, we will integrate the traditional business with modern technology to develop new business model.
On December 14, 2020, we incorporated a new entity
named “Blumargo IT Solution Ltd.” with 80% ownership in partnership with Tianjin Anboweiye Technology Co. to build up hi-tech
and information-based logistic services to meet the higher and complicate demand of customers. On June 30, 2021, we increased the ownership
to 100%.
On April 13, 2021, we formed a joint venture
in which the Company owned 99% equity interest of Hainan Saimeinuo Trading Co., Ltd., in the free tax zone in Hainan Province, China,
with a register capital of approximately $1.5 million. This subsidiary primarily engages in freight logistics services.
On April 21, 2021, we entered into a cooperation
agreement with Mr. Bangpin Yu to set up a 51% owned joint venture in U.S. named “Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc.” to support
our freight logistics services in the U.S.
In July 2021, we registered a new company Gorgeous Trading Ltd. Which
is 100% owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. This company will be mainly responsible for our smart warehouse and related business
in Texas.
On August 31, 2021, the company formed
a joint venture, Phi Electric Motor, Inc. in New York, which is 51% owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. for development and
sales of electric motors. There has been no operations as of September 30, 2021.
On September 29, 2021, 2021, the company formed a 100% owned subsidiary,
SG Shipping & Risk Solution Inc. in New York to support the Company’s logistic services. There has been no operations as of
September 30, 2021.
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 COVID-19 pandemic in China and United States, our business, results
of operations, and financial condition are still adversely affected. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or
resurgence of 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:
●
Our customers have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, which decreased demand for freight logistics services in fiscal year 2021. For fiscal year 2022, our customers are still impacted by the continuing resurgence of the Pandemic but has seen gradual recovery from first fiscal quarter of 2021. As a result, our revenue and gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 58%, and $0.2 million, or 368.1%, 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.
27
Recent developments:
In October 2021, we registered a new company SG Shipping & Risk
Solution Inc, which is 100% owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York In.
On October 3, 2021, we entered
into a Strategic Alliance Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Shenzhen Highsharp Electronic Ltd. (“Highsharp”) to
establish a joint venture (“JV”) for collaborative engineering, technical development and commercialization of a proprietary
bitcoin mining machine under the name Thor, with exclusive rights covering design production, intellectual property, branding, marketing
and sales. Thor Miner Inc is 51% owned by Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc.

Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenues
Revenues increased by $659,411, or approximately
58.0%, from $1,136,799 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $1,796,210 for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily
due to the increase of revenue from our freight logistic services of approximately $1,071,000 due to we provided logistic services for
equipment import and also we started providing warehouse services. The increase was offset by a decrease in shipping management services
of $210,000 we didn’t have for the three months ended September 30, 2021. One of our shipping management services contracts we entered
into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 expired during the year.

Revenues
(1) Shipping Agency and Management Services
For the three months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, shipping agency and management services generated revenues of nil and $206,845, respectively, representing an approximately
100% decrease in revenues. The decrease in this segment was because the shipping agency and management services agreements we entered
in fiscal year 2020 have expired and were not renewed due to the uncertainty of the shipping management market which has been negatively
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
29
(2) Revenues from Freight Logistics Services
Freight logistics services primarily consist of
cargo forwarding, brokerage, warehouse and other freight services. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, revenues increased
by approximately 93.2% compared to the same period in 2020. We established a wholly owned entity in July 2021 and formed two joint ventures
in April 2021 to support our freight logistics services. We recognized revenue approximately $980,000 from the certain import contract
with a third party for equipment import. We act as their freight carriers and in charge the import matter of such equipment. We generated
approximately $91,000 for warehouse storage services while we did not have such revenue for the same period last year. The revenue from
Trans Pacifics Logistic Shanghai Ltd. remains the same compare to the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. We believe our revenues
from freight logistics services will continue to grow with the operations of these three entities.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses increased by $2,779,575
or approximately 147.4%, from $1,885,943 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $4,665,518 for the three months ended September
30, 2021. This increase was mainly due to the increase in selling expenses, stock-based compensation, cost of revenues and general and
administrative expenses as discussed below.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consisted primarily of freight
costs to various freight carriers, cost of labor, warehouse rent and other overhead and sundry costs. Cost of revenues was $1,626,868
for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $531,642, or approximately 48.5%, as compared to $1,095,226 for the same
period in 2020. The increase of cost of revenue mainly due to we had cost of revenue approximately $580,000 from certain import contract
with a third party for equipment import, and approximately $199,000 for warehouse storage services while we did not have such cost of
revenue for the same period last year. The increase was offset by approximately $177,000 of shipping management services that we entered
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 expired during the year. The cost of revenue for Trans Pacifics Logistic Shanghai Ltd. had slightly
increase compare to the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. As a result, our gross profit margin increased by approximately
5.8% from approximately 3.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 to approximately 9.4% for the same period in 2021, because
of the new warehouse storage services and freight services provided for equipment.

administrative expenses, as compared to $703,434 for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of $1,263,135, or approximately
179.6%. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional expenses of approximately $500,000 as we spend more resources on business
development to expand our business, with expenses including due diligence and professional fees for seeking potential acquisition target,
and consulting expenses for new business development, the increase in employees, offices and other general and administrative expenses
of approximately $640,000 as we hired more employees and opened more office locations to expand our freight logistics service

The change was loss of disposal of fixed assets.
Taxation
We didn’t recorded income tax expense for
the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
We have incurred a cumulative U.S. federal NOL
of approximately $12,543,000 as of June 30, 2021, 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, 2021, approximately $1,397,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such
NOL was approximately $293,000.
Our operations in China have incurred a cumulative
a cumulative NOL of approximately $6,026,000 as of June 30, 2021, which may reduce future taxable income. The NOL amounted to approximately

31
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, 2021. The net decrease in valuation for the three
months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to approximately $996,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred
tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.
Net loss

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, 2021, our working capital was approximately $40.6 million
and we had cash of approximately $42.9 million. We believe our revenues and operations will continue to grow and the current working capital
is sufficient to support our operations and debt obligations as they become due one year through report date.
32
Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities
was approximately $0.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2021. The operating cash inflow for the three months ended September
30, 2021 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $2.9 million, adjusted by non cash stock-based compensation of approximately $2.9
million and approximately $1.9 million including recovery for doubtful accounts. We had an increase in cash inflow of other receivables
of approximately $1.7 million as we collected our outstanding balances. We had an increase in advances to suppliers - third parties as
we made advances to our suppliers of approximately $0.6 million, which will offset by a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately
$0.4 million.
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.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,302,448
for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to the acquisition of property and equipment of approximately $0.6 million, investment
approximately $0.2 million to a joint venture named LSM Trading Ltd., which we hold a 40% of equity interest, and advance to related party
of approximately $1.5 million.
We did not have any investing activities for the
three months ended September 30, 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was approximately
$2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to repayment of loan payable.
Net cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock to
a private investor for approximately $1.1 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 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.
33
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.
34
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
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 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. We have not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2023 assuming
we 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.
35
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 adoption
of this new standard did not have a material impact on our 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 adoption of this new standard did not
have a material impact on our 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 adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10,
“Codification Improvements”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended
application of guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative
cost to most entities. The amendments in this Update affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities
within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2020-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after July 1, 2021 for public
business entities. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating
the impact of this new standard onour consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The adoption of this new standard did
not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
This Item is not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain 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, 2021, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision of and with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our 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 us 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 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; 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 our internal control
over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
