CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report contains certain
statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements regarding our projected growth, trends and strategies, future
operating and financial results, financial expectations and current business indicators are based upon current information and expectations
and are subject to change based on factors beyond our control. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms
such as “look,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “believe,” “plan,”
“expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are
expressed differently. The accuracy of such statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties we face that could
cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including but not limited to the following:
●
o ur ability to timely and
properly deliver our services;
●
o ur dependence on a limited
number of major customers and suppliers;
●
our ability to resume our business of sales of crypto mining machines and to expand our operations after the conclusion of the investigation;
●
current and future political and economic factors in the United States and China and the relationship between the two countries;
●
our ability to explore and enter into new business opportunities and the acceptance in the marketplace of our new lines of business;
●
unanticipated changes in general market conditions or other factors which may result in cancellations or reductions in the need for our services;
●
the demand for warehouse, shipping and logistics services;
●
the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
●
possible disruptions in commercial activities caused by events such as natural disasters, health epidemics, terrorist activity and armed conflict;
●
our ability to identify and successfully execute cost control initiatives;
●
the impact of quotas, tariffs or safeguards on our customer products that we service;
●
our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified management team members and skilled personnel;
●
relevant governmental policies and regulations relating to our businesses and industries;
●
developments in, or changes to, laws, regulations, governmental policies, incentives and taxation affecting our operations;
●
our reputation and ability to do business may be impacted by the improper conduct of our employees, agents or business partners; and
●
the outcome of litigation or investigation in which we are involved is unpredictable, and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation
to update the forward-looking statements. Nonetheless, the Company reserves the right to make such updates from time to time by press
release, periodic report or other method of public disclosure without the need for specific reference to this Report. No such update shall
be deemed to indicate that other statements not addressed by such update remain correct or create an obligation to provide any other updates.

SINGULARITY FUTURE TECHNOLOGY LTD. AND AFFILIATES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
The
Company is a global logistics integrated solution provider that was founded in the United States in 2001. On September 18, 2007, the Company
amended its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to merge into a new corporation, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. in Virginia. The
Company primarily focuses on providing logistics and support to businesses in the Peoples’ Republic of China (“PRC”)
and the United States. On January 3, 2022, the Company changed
its corporate name from Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. to Singularity Future Technology Ltd. to reflect its expanded operations into
the digital assets business.
The
Company conducted its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC (including
Hong Kong) and the United States, where the majority of its clients are located. As of March 31, 2022, the Company operated in two segments:
(1) freight logistics services which include shipping and warehouse services, were operated by its subsidiaries in both the United States
and PRC, and (2) the sale of crypto-mining machines, which were operated by its subsidiaries in the United States. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, the Company also engaged in shipping agency and management services, which were carried out by its subsidiary
in the U.S. The Company no longer operates in the shipping agency segment because it did not receive any new orders for its services
due to the uncertainty of the shipping management market which was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March
2, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Hebei Yanghuai Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yanghuai”)
for the purchase of 2,783 digital currency mining servers. The Company acquired approximately $0.9 million of crypto equipment from Yanghuai.
Over the last two months of the Company’s 2021 fiscal year, national and local governments in China have gradually restricted and
banned cryptocurrency mining operations, causing owners of servers to cease operations. Based on an amended agreement signed by the Company
and Yanghuai on September 17, 2021, the Company is not liable for the remainder of the contract price and has title to half of the crypto
mining equipment. The Company recorded impairment for the mining equipment in the last quarter of 2021 in the amount of approximately
$0.9 million.
On
December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements to terminate its variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure
and deconsolidated its formerly controlled entity Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”). The Company controlled
Sino-China through its wholly owned subsidiary Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”). The Company made
the decision to dissolve both the VIE structure and Sino-China because Sino-China had no active operations and the Company wanted to remove
any potential risks associated with any VIE structures. In addition, the Company dissolved its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA on December
26, 2021 as this subsidiary had no material operation, Inc. On March 14, 2022, the Company dissolved
its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Inc..
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
beginning in 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. This 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
freights logistic segments and its workforce are concentrated in China., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial
condition have been adversely affected. In early December 2022, the Chinese government eased the strict control measure for COVID-19,
which has led to a surge in increased infections and a disruption in our business operations. Any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s
operation results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and
resurgence of COVID-19 variants and the actions taken by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of
which are beyond our control.
On March 14, 2022, the company dissolved its
subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Inc. which resulted no gain and loss on it.

Restatement of previously issued financial
statements
From
March to June 2019, Trans Pacific Logistic Shanghai Ltd. (“Trans Pacific Shanghai”), a subsidiary of the Company, received
approximately $ 6.2 million (RMB 40 million) from a related party, Shanghai Baoyin Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Baoyin”),
to pay for accounts receivable of six different customers totaling RMB 40 million. Shanghai Baoyin is 30 % owned by Wang Qinggang, the
CEO and legal representative of Trans Pacific Shanghai. Trans Pacific Shanghai subsequently paid RMB 20 million and RMB 10 million to
Zhangjiakou Baoyu Trading Co. Ltd. (“Baoyu”), a third party, in April 2019 and July 2019, respectively, and it made an additional
payment of RMB 10 million to Hebei Baoxie Trading Co., Ltd. (“Hebei Baoxie”), a third party, in
July 2019.
As such, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019,
accounts receivable was understated by RMB 40 million, advance to supplier was overstated by RMB 20 million, and other payables from Shanghai
Baoyin, a related party, were understated by RMB 20 million. There was an overstatement of RMB 20 million in total assets and an understatement
of total liabilities of RMB 20 million.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, Baoxie
repaid a total of RMB 10 million to Trans Pacific Shanghai, and Trans Pacific Shanghai advanced the RMB 10 million to Shanghai Baoyin.
The RMB 10 million paid to Shanghai Baoyin was recorded as other receivable, and the RMB 30 million advance to Baoyu was reclassified
from an advance to supplier to other receivable. The Company provided a full allowance of its receivables totaling RMB 40 million. The
Company evaluated this transaction and determined there is no cumulative effect on the Company’s total assets, liabilities, or retained
earnings as of June 30, 2020.
During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Baoyu repaid RMB 30 million to Trans Pacific Shanghai. The RMB 30 million received was recorded
as recovery of bad debt. Trans Pacific Shanghai then loaned the same amount to Shanghai Baoyin. Shanghai Baoyin subsequently repaid RMB
4 million to Trans Pacific Shanghai, and Trans Pacific Shanghai loaned the same amount to Wang Qinggang. The RMB 30 million received
was recorded as recovery of bad debt for other receivable and the RMB 30 million paid was recorded as a related party loan receivable.
The Company analyzed the transactions and determined the RMB
30 million was originally from Shanghai Baoyin and eventually paid back to the same related parties. Recovery of bad debt and related
party loan receivable was overstated by RMB 30 million for the fiscal year 2021.

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 (“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 its
subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to December 31, 2021, Sino-China was considered
a 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 received 90 % of Sino-China’s net income.
As a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues were included
in the Company’s total revenues, and any income/loss from operations was consolidated with that of the Company. Because of contractual
arrangements between the Company and Sino-China, the Company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that required 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 was governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant
to which the Company had substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company remains the
primary beneficiary of Sino-China. On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into a series of agreements to terminate its VIE structure
and deconsolidated its formerly controlled entity Sino-China.
Loss from disposal of Sino-China amounted to
approximately $ 6.1 million. Since Sino-China did not have any active operation prior to disposal, the disposal did not represent a
strategic change in the Company’s business, as such the disposal was not presented as discontinued operations.
The carrying amount and classification of Sino-China’s
assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and
establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect
management’s assumptions based on the best available information.
The carrying value of accounts receivable, other
receivables, other current assets, and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
(c) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the Company’s 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.
(d) Translation of Foreign Currency
The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries
are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”).
The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in the PRC, including Trans Pacific
Beijing 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 (HK), Ltd. 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 March 31, 2022 and June
30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

(e) 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 683,191 and $ 629,731 , respectively, were maintained at financial
institutions in the PRC. $ 491,575 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021,
cash balances of $ 59,626,433 and $ 44,203,436 , respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial institutions. $ 58,017,993 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, cash
balances of $ 36,574 and $ 3,457 , respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and were insured by the Hong Kong
Deposit Protection Board. As of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, cash balances of $ 208 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 March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, amount of deposits the Company had covered by insurance amounted to $ 1,836,837 and $ 1,125,838 ,
respectively.
9
(f) Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies, mainly bitcoin, are included
in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cryptocurrencies purchased are recorded at cost. Fair value of the
cryptocurrency award received is determined using the quoted price of the related cryptocurrency at the time of receipt.
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.
(g) Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable
value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on
a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual receivable balances.
In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances,
customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are generally considered
past due after 180 days. The Company reserves 25%-50% of the customers balance aged between 181 days to 1 year, 50%-100% of the customers
balance over 1 year and 100% of the customers balance over 2 years. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after
exhaustive collection efforts.
Other receivables represent mainly customer advances,
prepaid employee insurance and welfare benefits, which will be subsequently deducted from the employee payroll, project advances 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.
10
(h) Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at historical
cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets
to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated
useful lives:
Buildings
20 years
Motor vehicles
3 - 10 years
Computer and office equipment
1 - 5 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 - 5 years
System software
5 years
Leasehold improvements
Shorter of lease term or useful lives
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 and nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, no impairment were recorded, respectively.
(i) 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 joint venture hasn’t commenced any operations
due to the impact of COVID-19. Shanming Liang subsequently transferred his interest
to Guangxi Golden Bridge Industry Group Co., Ltd on October 11, 2021. For
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 210,010 investment in unconsolidated entity and no events have occurred
that indicated other-than-temporary impairment existed for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.
11
(j) Convertible notes
The Company evaluates its convertible notes to
determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives. The result of this accounting treatment
is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each reporting period and recorded as a liability. In the
event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statements of operations as other income
or expense.
(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.
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. On January 10, 2022, the Company’s
joint venture, Thor Miner, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with SOS Information Technology New York Inc. (“SOSNY”).
Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, Thor Miner agreed to sell and SOSNY agreed to purchase certain cryptocurrency mining hardware
and other equipment. Thor Miner and SOSNY agreed that SOSNY shall make payment equal to 50% of the total purchase price within 5 days
after the execution of the purchase and sale agreement, and the remaining 50% for each order shall be paid at least seven (7) calendar
days before the shipment. On January 14, 2022, Thor Miner received an advance payment of $ 40,000,000 for the first order. In connection
with the order, the Company issued 800,000 restricted shares to a consultant as costs for obtaining the contract. The shares were valued
at approximately $ 3.6 million and was recorded as stock compensation expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022.

(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.
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, 2022 and 2021.
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 Beijing were incorporated in the PRC and are subject to 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, including Trans Pacific, and the VIE, and Sino-China, 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 VIE are required to pay city construction tax ( 7 %) and education surcharges ( 3 %) based on the net VAT payments.
13
(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 and nine months ended March 31,
2022 and 2021, 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.
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 and nine months ended March 31, 2022. 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.
14
(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.
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. The Company adopted this new standard on July 1, 2021 on its accounting for the convertible
notes issued in December 2021.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08,
“Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Non-refundable 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.
15
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.

Note 11. LOANS PAYABLE
On May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds
in the amount of approximately $ 124,570 under the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (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 the PPP loan payable remains outstanding.
On May 26, 2020, the Company received an advance
in the amount of $ 155,900 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 December 31, 2021, the Company has paid off the balance of the EIDL loan. Interest
expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 for this loan was nil and $ 2,404 , respectively.

Note 12. CONVERTIBLE NOTES:
On December 19, 2021,
the Company issued two Senior Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to two non-U.S. investors for an aggregate purchase
price of $ 10,000,000 .
The Convertible Notes
bear an interest at 5 % annually and may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share at a conversion
price of $ 3.76 per share, the closing price of the common stock on December 17, 2021. The Convertible Notes are unsecured senior obligations
of the Company, and the maturity date of the Convertible Notes is December 18, 2023. The Company may repay any portion of the outstanding
principal, accrued and unpaid interest, without penalty for early repayment. The Company may make any repayment of principal and interest
in (a) cash, (b) common stock at the conversion price or (c) a combination of cash or common stock at the conversion price.
The investors may convert
any conversion amount into common stock on any date beginning on June 19, 2022.
The Company evaluated the convertible notes agreement
under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) amended by ASU 2020-06. ASC 815 generally requires the analysis embedded
terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where
their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. Based on terms of the
convertible notes agreements, the Company’s notes are convertible for a fixed number of shares and do not require the Company to
net settle. None of the embedded terms required bifurcation and liability classification.
On March 8, 2022, the
Company issued two Amended and Restated Senior Convertible Notes (the “Amended and Restated Convertible Notes”) to the investors to
change the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to an aggregate purchase price of $ 5,000,000 .
The terms of the Amended
and Restated Convertible Notes are the same as that of the original Convertible Notes, except for the reduced principal amount and the
waiver of interest for the $5,000,000 payment made on March 8, 2022.
For the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2022, interest expenses related to the aforementioned convertible notes amounted to $ 60,959 and $ 69,178 , respectively.
Note 13. LEASES
The Company determines if a contract contains
a lease at inception which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to and the agreement creates enforceable rights and
obligations. 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 March 31, 2022, ROU
assets and lease liabilities amounted to $ 1,443,837 and $ 1,468,854 (including $ 512,359 from lease liabilities current portion and $ 956,495
from lease liabilities non-current portion), respectively and weighted average discount rate was approximately 10.94 %.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain

The Company’s operations in the U.S. incurred
a cumulative U.S. federal net operation losses (“NOL”) of approximately $ 12,543,000 as of June 30, 2021, which may reduce
future federal taxable income. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, approximately $2,925,000 and $7,511,000 of NOL was
generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $614,000 and $1,577,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the
Company’s cumulative NOL amounted to approximately $20,054,000, 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 $ 6,026,000 as of June 30, 2021 which may reduce future taxable income. During the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2022, no additional NOL was generated and no tax benefit derived from such NOL. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood
of the realization of deferred tax assets (“DTA”), 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 March 31, 2022. The net decrease in valuation for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to approximately $ 1,260,000
and $ 1,049,000 , respectively, based on management’s reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets that are
more likely than not to be realized.

On December 23, 2022, the Company entered into
a settlement agreement with SOSNY pursuant to which the Company will repay $ 13.0 million to SOSNY and terminate the previous agreements
and balance of the deferred revenue. The Company paid $ 13.0 million in December 2022 and the settlement was effective on December 28,
2022.
On January 9, 2023, the Company entered into an Executive Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Separation
Agreement”), with Lei Cao, an employee of the Company and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”),
setting forth the terms and conditions related to (1) the termination of Mr. Cao’s employment with the Company and the termination
of the employment agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 as well as cancellation and/or termination of certain other agreements relating
to Mr. Cao’s employment with the Company; and (2) Mr. Cao’s resignation from the Board, effective as of January 9, 2023.
Pursuant to the Separation
Agreement, Mr. Cao submitted a letter of resignation from the Board on January 9, 2023. In addition, he agreed to forfeit and return to
the Company the 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company granted to him on August 13, 2021 under the terms of the 2014 Equity Incentive
Plan of the Company (the “2021 Shares”). Mr. Cao also agreed to cooperate with the Company regarding certain investigations
and proceedings set forth in the Separation Agreement, and/or any other matters arising out of or related to Mr. Cao’s relationship
with or service to the Company. In consideration, the Company agreed to provide the following benefits to which Mr. Cao was not otherwise
entitled: (1) payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Mr. Cao up through January 9, 2023 associated with Mr.
Cao’s personal legal representation in matters relating to Mr. Cao’s tenure with the Company, the investigations and proceedings
set forth in the Separation Agreement, and the negotiation and drafting of the Separation Agreement; (2) the release of claims in Mr.
Cao’s favor contained in the Separation Agreement; and (3) payment of Mr. Cao’s reasonable and necessary legal fees to the
extent incurred by Mr. Cao as a result of his cooperation as required by the Company under the terms of the Separation Agreement. Additionally,

On February 4, 2022, the Company approved a one-time
award of a total of 500,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan to certain executive
officers of the Company, including Chief Executive Officer, Yang Jie ( 300,000 shares), Chief Operating Officer, Jing Shan ( 100,000 shares),
and Chief Technology Officer, Shi Qiu ( 100,000 shares). On December 27, 2022 and December 19, 2022, Jing Shan and Yang Jie
each signed an cancellation agreement to return 100,000 and 300,000 share, respectively, to the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

2023. As of the date of this Report, the 300,000 shares issued to Mr. Jie were cancelled and the 100,000 shares were in the process of
being cancelled.
On May 5, 2022, an entity named Hindenburg Research
issued a report (the “Hindenburg Report”) regarding the Company alleging, among other things, that the Company’s then
Chief Executive Officer, Yang Jie, was a fugitive on the run from Chinese authorities for running an alleged $ 300 million Ponzi scheme
that lured in over 20,000 victims. The report also raised questions regarding the Company’s joint venture to produce crypto mining
equipment announced in October 2021, as well as a $ 200 million order purportedly received by the joint venture in January 2022. Further,
the report was critical of the Company’s April 2022 announcement of a $ 250 million partnership with an entity named Golden Mainland
Inc. On May 6, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) formed a special committee of its Board of Directors
(the “Special Committee”) to investigate claims of alleged fraud, misrepresentation, and inadequate disclosure related to
the Company and certain of its management personnel raised in the Hindenburg Report and other related matters. The Special Committee then
retained Blank Rome LLP to serve as independent legal counsel and advise the Committee on the investigation. The Special Committee completed
the fact-finding portion of its investigation prior to December 31, 2022. The Special Committee’s preliminary findings corroborate
certain of the allegations made in the Hindenburg Report and the investigation has resulted in the terminations and resignations of certain
executive officers and directors of the Company. On February 23, 2023, the Board approved the dissolution of the Special Committee upon
conclusion of the committee’s investigation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of the
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
We previously focused on providing customized
freight logistic services, but starting in 2017, we began exploring new opportunities to expand our business and generate more revenue.
These opportunities ranged from complementary businesses to other new service and product initiatives. In the fiscal years 2021 and 2022,
while we continued to engage in our freight logistics business, we expanded our services to include warehousing services provided by our
U.S. subsidiary Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc. and Gorgeous Trading Ltd. On January 3, 2022, we changed our corporate name
to Singularity Future Technology Ltd. to align with our entry into the sales of crypto mining equipment through our U.S. subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2022, we operated in two segments: (1) freight logistics services; and (2) purchase and sales of crypto mining machines.
Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (“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 COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the continually expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and the United States, our business,
results of operations, and financial condition are still adversely affected.
In early December 2022, the Chinese government
eased the strict control measure for COVID-19, which has led to surges in increased infections and disruptions in our business operations.
Any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s China operation results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and
new information that may emerge regarding the duration and resurgence of COVID-19 variants and the actions taken by government authorities
to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.
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 reduced their demand for freight logistics services. As a result, our revenue decreased by $937,906, or 24.9%, from $3,767,588 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 to $2,829,682 for the same period in 2022; there was no material impact for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
● Due
to travel restrictions between U.S. and China, our new business development for existing segments or new ventures has been slowed down.

Revenues
Shipping Agency and Management Services
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, we did not generate any revenue from shipping agency and management services as we did not receive any new orders for our services
due to uncertainty of the shipping management market which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
34
Revenues from Freight Logistics Services
Freight logistics services primarily consist of
cargo forwarding, brokerage, warehouse and other freight services. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues were consistent
compared to the same period in 2021.
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 $901,275 for
the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $197,647, or approximately 18.0%, as compared to $1,098,922 for the same period in
2021. The decrease of cost of revenue was mainly due to different commodities that were shipped, such as iron ore or coal. We charge lower
rates for shipping large amounts of products. Our gross margin was (15.3)% and 7.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022,
respectively, as a result of shipping more products with higher rates.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses increased by $6,405,962 or approximately
162.1%, from $3,952,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $10,358,558 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase
was mainly due to the increase in selling expenses, stock-based compensation, and general and administrative expenses, as more fully discussed
below.
Selling Expenses
Our selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries
and travel expenses for our sales representatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had $131,404 of selling expenses, as
compared to $78,117 for the same period in 2021, which represents an increase of $53,287 or approximately 68.2%. The increase was due
to an increase of marketing expenses of approximately $49,000 to promote our freight logistics business.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, travel expenses for our administration department, office
expenses, regulatory filing and professional service fees including auditing, legal and IT consulting. For the three months ended March
31, 2022, we had $2,140,749 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $1,523,745 for the same period in 2021, representing
an increase of $617,004, or approximately 40.5%. The increase was mainly due to the increase in salaries and wages and office related
costs of approximately $554,000 as we hired more employees for our
new subsidiaries such as Gorgeous Trading and Brilliant Warehouse.
Impairment Loss of Cryptocurrencies
We recorded $3,052 in impairment loss for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 due to recent price drops in bitcoin which we deemed a triggering event for impairment testing.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts, Net of
Recovery
We had $669,189 of provision for accounts receivable and other receivable
related parties for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1,251,812 of provision for accounts receivable and other receivable
for the same period in 2021.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation was $6,512,889 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $6,512,889 or 100.0%, as compared to nil for the
same period in 2021 due to stock compensation grants to our directors and executives and third-party advisors.
35
Other Expenses, Net
Total
other expenses, net was $35,709 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of approximately $483,838 or 93.1%, as compared
to $519,547 for the same period in 2021. This is mainly because for three months ended March 31, 2021, we
incurred a settlement loss on a contract dispute of approximately $0.8 million and offset other income generated from cryptocurrencies
mining of approximately $0.3 million.
Taxes
We did not incur any income tax expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 due to continuing operating losses.
We have incurred a cumulative U.S. federal net
operating loss (“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 and will expire in 2037. The remaining balance
will be carried forward indefinitely. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately $2,925,000 of additional NOL was generated
and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $614,000.
Our operations in China have incurred a cumulative NOL of approximately $6,026,000 as of June 30, 2021, which may reduce future taxable income. The NOL amounted to approximately
$711,000 will start expiring in 2023, and the remaining balance will expire by 2026.
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. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our future realization
of deferred tax assets including our 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 deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2022. The net decrease in valuation for the three months ended March
31, 2022 amounted to approximately $1,260,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are
more likely than not to be realized.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $9,422,520 for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3,518,949 for the same period in 2021. After the deduction of non-controlling interest,
net loss attributable to us was $9,430,059 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $3,481,261 for the same period in 2021.
Comprehensive loss attributable to us was $9,166,723 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $3,557,594 for the same
period in 2021.

2022. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in revenue from our shipping agency and management services during the nine
months ended March 31, 2022 because we did not receive any new orders for our services resulting from uncertainty in the shipping
management market, which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenues
Shipping Agency and Management Services
For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
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.
Revenues from Freight Logistics Services
Freight logistics services primarily consist of
cargo forwarding, brokerage and warehouse services. The revenues for our company decreased by $937,906, or 24.9%, from $3,767,588 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2021 to $2,829,682 for the same period in 2022. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in revenue from
our major customer who reduced its demand for our services due to the impact of COVID-19 resurgence. Our major customer accounted
for 59.4% and 87.3%, respectively, of our revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consisted primarily of
freight costs of various freight carriers, cost of labor, and other overhead and sundry costs. Cost of revenues was $2,973,034 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $909,578, or approximately 23.4%, as compared to $3,882,612 for the same period
in 2021. The decrease in cost of revenues was mainly due to a decrease in revenue as we did not generate income from shipping agency
and management service for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Our gross profit margin decreased by approximately 7.4% from
approximately 2.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 to approximately (5.1)% for the same period in 2022 due to decrease in
our revenue exceeds decrease in our freight cost.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Operating costs and expenses increased by $11,136,778
or 125.1%, from $8,898,809 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 to $20,035,587 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. This increase
was mainly due to the increase in general and administrative expenses and stock-based compensation, partially offset by recovery for doubtful
accounts as discussed below.
Selling Expenses
Our selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries,
meals and entertainment and travel expenses for our sales representatives. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we had $403,025 of
selling expenses, as compared to $220,509 for the same period in 2021, which represents an increase of $182,516 or approximately 82.8%.
The increase was caused by an increase in marketing fees of approximately $169,000.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and benefits, travel expenses for our administration department, office expenses, regulatory filing and professional
service fees including auditing, legal and IT consulting. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we had $6,258,749 of general and administrative
expenses, as compared to $3,541,414 for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of $2,717,335, or approximately 76.7%. The increase
was mainly due to the increase in employees, offices and other general and administrative expense approximately of $2,200,000 as we hired
more employees and opened more office locations to expand our logistics services and new business for digital assets, along with an increase
of $256,000 in travel and meeting expenses and $280,000 for business development to expand our business.
38
Impairment Loss of Cryptocurrencies
We recorded $53,179 in impairment loss for the
nine months ended March 31, 2022 due to recent price drops in bitcoin, which the Company deemed a triggering event for impairment testing.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts, Net of Recovery
We had a provision for doubtful accounts of other receivable of $530,311
for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1,390,982 in provision for doubtful accounts and offset by the recoveries of accounts
receivable of $2,492, the recoveries of other receivable of $124,216 and other receivable - related party of $10,000 for the same
period in 2021.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation was $9,817,289 for the nine months ended March
31, 2022, an increase of $9,817,289 or 100.0%, as compared to nil for the same period in 2021 as we issued stock compensation to executive
officers and directors of $6,044,400 and $3,772,889 to consultants.
Loss from Disposal of Subsidiaries and VIE
On December 31, 2021, our wholly owned foreign
subsidiary, Trans Pacific Beijing, entered into a series of agreements to terminate our VIE structure and terminate the existence of our
formerly controlled entity Sino-China since Sino-China has no active operations. We controlled Sino-China through Trans Pacific Beijing.
In addition, the Company dissolved its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA, Inc. Total loss from disposal was approximately $6.1 million.
Other Expenses, Net
Total other expenses, net
was $117,944 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 which consisted of interest expense of our convertible debt of approximately $70,000,
net of interest income and other finance expenses, a decrease of approximately $315,159 or 72.8%, as compared to $433,139 for the same
period in 2021. The decrease was mainly because for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a settlement loss on a contract
dispute of approximately $0.8 million, offset by the PPP loan forgiveness which we recorded as a gain of approximately $0.1 million and
income of approximately $0.3 million generated from cryptocurrency mining. We have no such losses for the same period in 2022.
Taxation
We recorded income tax expense of nil and $3,450
for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 will be carried forward indefinitely.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, we generated an additional NOL of approximately $7,511,000. The tax benefit derived from
such NOL was approximately $1,577,000.
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
$711,000 and will start expiring in 2023. The remaining balance will expire by 2026.
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. 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 March 31, 2022. The net decrease in valuation for the nine months ended March
31, 2022 amounted to approximately $1,049,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are
more likely than not to be realized.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $23,455,465 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5,360,965 for the same period in 2021. After the deduction of non-controlling interest,
net loss attributable to the Company was $23,151,814 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5,317,971 for the same period
in 2021. Comprehensive loss attributable to the Company was $22,638,703 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $4,967,188
for the same period in 2021.

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 March 31, 2022, our working capital was approximately $41.0 million and
we had cash of approximately $60.3 million. We believe our current working capital
is sufficient to support our operations and debt obligations as they become due one year through the date of this report.

Operating Activities
Our
net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $13.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The operating
cash outflow for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $23.5 million,
adjusted by non-cash stock-based compensation of approximately $9.8 million, loss on disposal of subsidiaries and VIE of
approximately $6.1 million, and approximately $0.5 million of provision for doubtful accounts. We had an increase in cash inflow
from collection of other receivables of approximately $1.3 million and receipt of approximately 39.7 million for the purchase and
sale agreement with SOSNY. As a result of the lawsuit settlement with SOSNY, we need to pay SOS $13.0 million in December 2022. As
such our cash inflow was reflected as an increase in deferred revenue of approximately $26.7 million and refund payable of $13.0
million. Our main cash outflow is from deposit we made of approximately $21.4 million to our related party supplier
HighSharp.
Our
net cash used in operating activities was approximately $6.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. The operating cash outflow
for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $5.4 million, adjusted by non-cash
items of approximately $1.3 million of provision for doubtful accounts, net of recovery. We had a decrease in operating cashflow as we
paid of more liabilities of approximately $2.3 million because we had more cash on hand due to recent equity and debt financing.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $6,054,445 for the nine months
ended March 31, 2022 due to the acquisition of property and equipment of approximately $0.8 million, investment of approximately $0.2
million to a joint venture named LSM Trading Ltd., in which we hold a 40% of equity interest. We
also made related parties advances of approximately $5.1 million including $1.3 million to Shanghai
Baoyin Industrial Co., Ltd.(“Baoyin”) which is 30% owned by Wang Qinggang, a related party, approximately $0.6 million
advances to our equity investee, LSM trading Ltd, approximately $3.2 million advances to Rich Trading Co. Ltd., a related party. These
advances are non-interest bearing and due on demand.
Net cash used in investing activities was $922,438
for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, mainly for the purchase of cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $7.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 due to the issuance of common stock in private placements of approximately
$10.5 million and proceeds from convertible notes of $10 million, partially offset by repayment of convertible notes of $5.0 million and
warrant repurchase of approximately $7.9 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was
approximately $54.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 due to cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock to private
investors for approximately $52.8 million and cash proceeds received from issuance of preferred stock to a private investor for approximately
$1.4 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition
and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.

Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and in the Notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended June 30, 2021 Form 10-K (the “2021 Form 10-K”) describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in

critical accounting estimates since the 2021 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
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 us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange
Act 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 us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
41
As of March 31, 2022,
the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of its management, including the Company’s
Chief Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Operating Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective 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 due to ineffective internal controls over financial reporting that stemmed from the
following material weaknesses:
●
Lack of segregation of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries in some of the subsidiaries within the consolidation, lack of supervision, coordination and communication of financial information between different entities within the Group;
●
Lack of a full time U.S.
GAAP personnel in the accounting department to monitor the recording of the transactions which led to error in revenue recognition
in previously issued financial statements;
●
Lack of resources with technical competency to address, review and record non-routine or complex transactions under U.S. GAAP;
●
Lack of management control
reviews of the budget against actual with analysis of the variance with a precision that can be explained through the analysis of
the accounts;
●
Lack of proper procedures in identifying and recording related party transactions which led to restatement of previously issued financial statements (See Note 1 of the accompanying consolidated financial statement footnotes);
●
Lack of proper procedures
to maintain supporting documents for accounting record, and
● Lack of proper oversight for the Company’s cash disbursement
process that led to misuse of the Company funds by its former executive.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
In order to remediate the
material weaknesses stated above, we intend to implement the following policies and procedures:
●
Hiring additional accounting staff to report the internal financial timely;
● Hiring
a Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to properly set up the Company’s internal control and oversight process;
●
Reporting other material and non-routine transactions to the Board and obtain proper approval;
●
Recruiting additional qualified professionals with appropriate levels of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience to assist in resolving accounting issues in non-routine or complex transactions;
●
Developing and conducting U.S. GAAP knowledge, SEC reporting and internal control training to senior executives, management personnel, accounting departments and the IT staff, so that management and key personnel understand the requirements and elements of internal control over financial reporting mandated by the U.S. securities laws;
●
Setting up budgets and developing expectations based on understanding of the business operations, compare the actual results with the expectations periodically and document the reasons for the fluctuations with further analysis. This should be done by the Chief Financial Officer and reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, upon their communications with the Board;
●
Strengthening our corporate governance;
●
Setting up policies and procedures for the Company’s related party identification to properly identify, record and disclose related party transactions; and
●
Setting up proper procedures for the Company’s fund disbursement process to ensure that cash is disbursed only upon proper authorization, for valid business purposes, and that all disbursements are properly recorded.
