For the Three Months ended September 30, 2023

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

FoundedThe Company is an integrated logistics solution provider that was founded in the United States (the “U.S.”) in 2001,2001. On September 18, 2007, the Company merged into a new corporation, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“Sino-Global” or in Virginia. On January 3, 2022, the “Company”), is a non-asset based global shipping andCompany changed its corporate name from Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. to Singularity Future Technology Ltd. to reflect its then expanded operations into the digital assets business. Currently, we primarily focus on providing freight logistics integrated solutions provider. The Company provides tailored solutionsservices, which include shipping, warehouse services and value-addedother logistical support to steel companies .

In 2017, we began exploring new opportunities to expand our business and generate more revenue. These opportunities ranged from complementary businesses to other new services for its customersand product initiatives. Beginning in fiscal 2022, we expanded our services to drive effectiveness and controlinclude warehousing services provided by our U.S. subsidiary Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc.

We are currently engaged in related links throughout the entire shipping andproviding freight logistics chain. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-ownedservices including warehouse services, which are operated by our subsidiaries in the U.S., the People’s Republic of China, including Hong Kong (the “PRC”), Australia and Canada. Currently, a significant portion of the Company’s business is generated from clients located in the PRC.

The Company’s Chinese subsidiary, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited a wholly-owned foreign enterprise (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), isand Ningbo Saimeinuo Web Technology Ltd. in China and Gorgeous Trading Ltd. and Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc. in the 90% ownerUnited States. Our range of Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai”). Trans Pacific Beijingservices include transportation, warehouse, collection, last-mile delivery, drop shipping, customs clearance, and Trans Pacific Shanghai are referred to collectively as “Trans Pacific”.overseas transit delivery.

 

Prior to fiscal year 2016,As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s shipping agency business was operated by its subsidiaries inincluded the PRC. The Company’s shipping management services were operated by its subsidiary in Hong Kong. The Company’s shipping and chartering services were operated by its subsidiaries in the U.S. and subsidiary in Hong Kong. Currently, the Company’s inland transportation management services are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC, Hong Kong and the U.S. The Company’s freight logistics services are operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC and the U.S. The Company’s container trucking services are currently operated by its subsidiaries in the PRC and through a joint venture in the U.S. The Company’s newly added bulk cargo container trucking services are currently operated by its subsidiary in the U.S. The Company has increased its business in the U.S. since the launch of the short haul container truck services web-based platform in December 2016.following:

 

In January 2016, the Company formed a subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc., a California corporation (“Sino LA”), for the purpose of expanding its business to provide freight logistics services to importers who ship goods into the U.S. The Company expects to generate a majority of its revenues from providing inland transportation services and bulk cargo container services in the coming fiscal year.

In fiscal year 2016, affected by worsening market conditions in the shipping industry, the Company’s shipping agency business sector suffered a significant decrease in revenue due to a reduced number of ships served. As a result, the Company has suspended its shipping agency services business. Also as a result of these market condition changes, the Company has suspended its shipping management services business. In addition, in December 2015, the Company suspended its shipping and chartering services business, primarily as a result of the termination of a previously-contemplated vessel acquisition. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s business segments consist of inland transportation management services, freight logistics services, container trucking services and bulk cargo container services.

In August 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized management to move forward with the development of a mobile application that will provide a full-service logistics platform between the U.S. and the PRC for short-haul trucking in the U.S.

Sino-Global completed development of a full-service logistics platform as of December 2016. Upon the completion of the platform, the Company signed two significant agreements with COSCO Beijing International Freight Co., Ltd. (“COSFRE Beijing”) and Sino-Trans Guangxi in December 2016. Pursuant to the agreement with COSFRE Beijing, the Company will receive a percentage of the total amount of each transportation fee for the arrangement of inland transportation services for COSFRE Beijing’s container shipments into U.S. ports. For the strategic cooperation framework agreement with Sino-Trans Guangxi, which is a subsidiary of Sino-Trans Limited, the Company expects to utilize both parties’ existing resources and establish an integrated logistics plan to provide an end-to-end supply chain solution for customers shipping soybeans and sulfur products from the U.S. to southern PRC via container.

On January 5, 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement and formed a new joint venture company named ACH Trucking Center Corp. (“ACH Center”) with Jetta Global Logistics Inc. (“Jetta Global”). Along with the establishment of ACH Center, the Company began providing short haul trucking transportation and logistics services to customers located in the New York and New Jersey areas. The Company holds a 51% ownership stake in ACH Center. Although the establishment of ACH Center brought benefit for the Company and Jetta Global, it could not satisfy long term development for both the Company and Jetta Global. The Company signed a termination agreement with Jetta Global to terminate the joint venture agreement on December 4, 2017. As ACH center’s operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated revenue and the termination did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for ACH Center was not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

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 generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 27, 2017.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of its subsidiaries, and its affiliates.subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances arehave been eliminated in consolidation. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power or has the power to: govern the financial and operating policies; appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors.

  

U.S. GAAP provides guidance on the identification of variable interest entity (“VIE”) and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests. The Company evaluates each of its interests in an entityPrior to determine whether or not the investee is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers if the Company (1) has power to direct the activities that most significantly affects the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) receives the economic benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE.December 31, 2021, Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Sino-China”), is was considered a VIE,Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), with the Company as the primary beneficiary. 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. The Company, through Trans Pacific Beijing, entered into certain agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receivesreceived 90% of Sino-China’s net income. The Company does not receive any payments from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year.

 

As a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues arewere included in the Company’s total revenues, and any income/loss from operations iswas consolidated with that of the Company. Because of contractual arrangements between the Company and Sino-China, the Company hashad a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requiresrequired consolidation of the financial statements of the Company and Sino-China.

 

6

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results because the entities are under common control in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. The agency relationship between the Company and Sino-China and its branches iswas governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Company hashad substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Sino-China. As mentioned elsewhere in this report, due to the worsening market conditions in the shipping industry, Sino-China’s shipping agency business suffered a significant decrease in revenue due to a reduced number of ships served. As a result, the Company has temporarily suspended this business. Sino-China is also providing services in other related business segments of the Company.

 

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

  December 31,  June 30, 
  2017  2017 
       
Total current assets $9,736,634  $9,327,990 
Total assets  9,877,880   9,472,651 
Total current liabilities  6,279   4,517 
Total liabilities  6,279   4,517 

(c)(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

(d)(c) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.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 condensedcondense consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock basedstock-based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts,credit losses, 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 including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in the PRC, including Sino-China,Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai report their financial positions and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping (HK), Ltd. reports its financial positions and results of operations in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”). The accompanying consolidated unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Trans Pacific Beijing, Trans Pacific Shanghai and Sino Ningbo 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 sheetsheets’ dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss)loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity of the Company, and also included in non-controlling interests.

Cash and cash equivalents consistconsists of cash on hand and other highly liquid investmentscash in banks which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.use. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong Canada and the U.S. As of December 31, 2017September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2017,2023, cash balances of $6,812,501$250,316 and $6,246,337,$183,510, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, which werePRC. $153,787 and 74,533 of these balances are not covered by insurance as the deposit insurance system in China only insured by anyeach depositor at one bank for a maximum of the Chinese authorities.approximately $70,000 (RMB 500,000). As of, December 31, 2017September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2017,2023, cash balancebalances of $364,722$205,888 and $2,462,792,$919,990, respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial institutions, and wereinstitutions.

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, cash balances of $9,595,097 and $16,285,067, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and $9,504,774 and $16,216,393 of these balances are not covered by insurance. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the amount of Company’s deposits covered by insurance amounted to $392,740 and $647,004, respectively.

 

(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 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) Accounts ReceivableReceivables and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsCredit Losses

 

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 Receivablereceivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. As the Company has focused its development on the shipping management segment, its customer base consists of more smaller privately owned companies that we believe will pay more timely than state owned companies.

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.

(h) Property and Equipment, net

 

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

 

Buildings20 years
Motor vehicles5-103-10 years
FurnitureComputer and office equipment3-51-5 years
Furniture and fixtures3-5 years
System software5 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of lease term or useful lifelives
Mining equipment3 years

 

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired by the Company when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset areis less than the asset’sits carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. Management has determined that there wereFor the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairments were recorded.

(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 balance sheet dates.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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months ended September 30, 2023

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.

 

(i) Intangible Assets, netOn 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. Mr. Shanming Liang subsequently transferred his shares to Guanxi Golden Bridge Industry Group Co. Ltd. in October 2021. As of June 30, 2023, the Company invested $210,000 and recorded $81,640 investment loss in LSM. The joint venture has not started its operations due to COVID-19.As we could not obtain the financial information of the investee, we determined to provide a full impairment of our equity investment. The Company recorded a $128,360 impairment loss for the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Intangible assets are(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 cost less accumulated amortization. Amortizationfair value each reporting period and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is calculatedrecorded 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 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.

For the Company’s freight logistic, the Company provides transportation services which include mainly shipping services. The Company derives transportation revenue from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon performance of services. Sales price to the customer are 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 were satisfied 

For the Company’s warehouse services, which are included in the freight logistic services, the Company’s contracts provide for an integrated service that includes two or more services, including but not limited to warehousing, collection, first-mile delivery, drop shipping, customs clearance packaging, etc.

Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in its contracts, which is a series of distinct services that remain substantially the same over time and possess the same pattern of transfer. Revenue is recognized over the period in which services are provided under the terms of the Company’s contractual relationships with its clients.

For the Three Months ended September 30, 2023

The transaction price is based on the amount specified in the contract with the customer and contains fixed and variable consideration. In general, the fixed consideration in a contract represents facility and equipment costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the followingterm of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement determined based on the costs incurred. Revenue relating to variable pricing is estimated useful lives:and included in the consideration if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. The estimate of variable consideration is determined by the expected value or most likely amount method and factors in current, past and forecasted experience with the customer. Customers are billed based on terms specified in the revenue contract and they pay us according to approved payment terms.

 

Software3-5 years

Revenue for the above services is recognized on a gross basis when the Company controls the services as it has the obligation to (i) provide all services (ii) bear any inventory risk for warehouse services. In addition, the Company has control to set its selling price to ensure it would generate profit for the services.

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. (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Thor Miner agreed to sell and the Buyer agreed to purchase certain cryptocurrency mining equipment.

The Company’s performance obligation was to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of products or services are transferred to customers. To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in ASC 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.

In general, revenue was recognized on a gross basis when the Company controls the products as it has the obligation to (i) fulfill the products delivery and custom clearance (ii) bear any inventory risk as legal owners. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has control to set its selling price to ensure it would generate profit for the products delivery arrangements. If the Company is not responsible for provision of product and does not bear inventory risk, the Company recorded revenue on a net basis.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized the net sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment in $497,045 and nil, respectively, as the manufacturer of the products are responsible for shipping and custom clearing for the products. The gross revenue was $4,672,223 and nil for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and 2023, respectively.

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. Contract balances amounted to $66,354 and $66,531 as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

(l) Leases

 

The Company evaluates intangibleadopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) for the year ended June 30, 2020, and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Upon adoption, the Company recognized right of use (“ROU”) assets and same amount of lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using an incremental borrowing rate of 7% based on the duration of lease terms.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company reviews the impairment wheneverof its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the assets mightcarrying value of the asset may not be impaired. There was no suchrecoverable. The assessment of possible impairment asis based on its ability to recover the carrying value of December 31, 2017.the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

 

(j) Revenue Recognition 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured

Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customers’ warehouse.
Revenues from freight logistics services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
Revenues from container trucking services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
Revenues from bulk cargo container services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

9

Bulk cargo container services included shipping of products, arranging cargo container shipping from U.S. to China port, then from China port to end user. Revenue is recognized upon completion of shipping arrangements agreed with customers, either at customer’s designated port or final destination.

(k)(m) Taxation

 

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

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

 

Income tax returns for the years prior to 20142018 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.

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.

(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09 (full retrospective method); or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional unaudited condensed as defined per ASU 2014-09 (modified retrospective method).

The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments are an improvement to GAAP because they provide guidance for each of the eight issues, thereby reducing the current and potential future diversity in practice described above. ASU 2016-15new standard is effective for the Company for its fiscal yearsyear beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

This guidance will be effective in the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation: In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock compensation (Topic 718): Scope of modification accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). The purpose of the amendment is to clarify which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. For all entities that offer share based payment awards, ASU 2017-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2017-09 on its unaudited condensed financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation: In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260)”, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update changeASU 2023-01 improve current GAAP by clarifying the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features)accounting for leasehold improvements associated with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. The amendmentscommon control leases, thereby reducing diversity in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities,practice. Additionally, the amendments in Part Iprovide investors and other allocators of this Update arecapital with financial information that better reflects the economics of those transactions.

Revenue Recognition and Leases: In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Leases (Topic 842). The main objective of this pronouncement is to clarify the effective date of the adoption of ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842 and the definition of public business entity as stipulated in ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02. ASU 2014-09 provides that a public business entity and certain other specified entities adopt ASC Topic 606 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities are required to adopt ASC Topic 606 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. ASU 2016-12 requires that “a public business entity and certain other specified entities adopt ASC Topic 842 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All other entities are required to adopt ASC Topic 842 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020”. ASU 2017-13 clarifies that the SEC would not object to certain public business entities electing to use the non-public business entities effective dates for applying ASC 606 and ASC 842. ASU 2017-13, however, limits such election to certain public business entities that “otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filings with the SEC”. Management does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-13 to have any material impact on its financial positions and results of operations or cash flows.

Except for the ASU’s described above, no ASU’s are expected to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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

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

 

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

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights 

Revenue in the three months ended December 31, 2017 increased by $3,091,933, or 145.3%, over the comparable period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to:

We have expanded the freight logistics segment through cooperating with our major customers. In particular, our subsidiary, Trans Pacific Shanghai, has increased sales to BAO-NYK Shipping PTE. Ltd. (“BAO-NYK”). For the three months ended December 31, 2017, our total sales to BAO-NYK totaled approximately $3.1 million, as compared to $nil for the corresponding period in 2016.

Prior to second quarter of fiscal 2018, bulk cargo container services were included in our freight logistics services segment and were operated by our New York subsidiary. Due to the growth of this business line, and to enable our chief operating decision maker to better assess the financial performance of the Company, we separated our bulk cargo container services as a unique segment starting this quarter. We have reclassified $474,855 of revenue from freight logistics services to bulk cargo container services for the six months ended December 31, 2017 for comparison purpose.

Historically, containers shipping from the U.S. to China have low utilization rates. As a result, large shipping lines in China, including COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd (“COSCO Shipping Lines”), have to bear the shipping costs of empty containers and are seeking solutions to work strategically with local logistics companies in the US. With the Chinese government banning the import of environmental wastes by the end of 2017, the empty container rate of COSCO Group's container shipping from the United States to China will be further reduced. Therefore COSCO Beijing signed a strategic cooperation agreement with us to jointly promote bulk cargo container transportation. Bulk freight rate is usually lower than that of container freight rate, however the transit time is much longer and customers have low flexibility in arrangement with freight carriers. COSCO Group headquarters will give us the same container freight rate as bulk freight, even lower than bulk shipping fee, to support our expansion from bulk to container shipping, so as to transport more cargoes from the United States to China. In the first quarter, we cooperated with Guangxi Sinotrans Group for the first trial operation of bulk cargo container. During the quarter, we cooperated with another customer, Sichuan Minmetals Import and Export Company, for trial operation. Based on the two trial runs with positive response, we signed a service agreement with Chengdu Dingxu International Trade Co., Ltd. ("Chengdu Dingxu") to coordinate sulfur suppliers in the United States to supply 100,000 tons of sulfur to Chengdu Dingxu on annual basis. Pursuant to the agreement, we will organize the shipping carriers, help customer to complete the duty and custom declaration and arrange transportation to the destination designated by Chengdu Dingxu. We will not take any title of any of their purchases and we will not take any inventory risks. We will be reimbursed by Chengdu Dingxu once our performance obligations are completed for the money we advanced on these purchases.

Overview

 

The fiscal Year 2018 Trends

In fiscal year 2018,2017, we will continuebegan exploring new opportunities to focus on developing business to increase revenue and cash flow in the United States and continue to use bulk cargos containerized business between container shipping lines of the U.S. to China as the major part of our growth.

We will continue our cooperation with Cosco to promote bulk cargo container shipping. Our goal is to promote shipping of not only sulfur products but also others that are in high demand in China, such as petroleum coke, alfalfa and DDGS. We expect to ship these bulk container products to reach 400-500 containers per month. Through the implementation of bulk cargo container transport business, more smaller truck companies can be attracted to join our short-haul container truck online service platform, so that the online service platform can be improved and further upgraded and eventually become a peer-to peer online platform that connects truckers and customers.

Due to our new business in bulk cargo containers and the integrated freight business segment, our overall gross margin rate was affected. We expect as we gradually growexpand 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 provide our freight logistic business, we expanded our services to include warehousing services provided by our US subsidiary Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc. On January 3, 2022, we changed our corporate name to Singularity Future Technology Ltd. to align with our entry into the digital assets business through our U.S. subsidiaries. During 2022, we were engaged in these segments, our overall gross margin will improve.

(1) Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services

In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group, a related party, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain solutions to help control the potential loss of commodities during the transportation process. The Company also began providing inland transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest, following the quarter ended September 2014. The fluctuation in revenue from this segment is due to the change in the quantities of commodities transported by both Zhiyuan Investment Group and Tengda Northwest.

For Tengda Northwest, the service fee charge was RMB 32 per ton. For Zhiyuan Investment Group, the service fee charge was RMB 38 per ton.

Revenue from the inland transportation management services segment decreased $57,762 from $1,451,603 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 to $1,393,841 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Revenue from related party customers decreased $61,678 from $616,924 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 to $555,246 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 since the transported quantities decreased from 112,000 tons to 97,489 tons. Revenue from third party customers increased $3,916 from $834,679 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 to $838,595 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to the depreciation of USD against RMB from 6.8328 for the three months ended December 31, 2016 to 6.6153 for the corresponding period in 2017.

For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, gross profit from inland transportation management services amounted to $1,219,816 and $1,363,803, respectively.

Overall gross margins for this segment decreased to 87.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from 94.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease of gross marginsSeptember 30, 2023, we were engaged in the current quarter was due to the change of product mix with different service fees per ton.

(2) Revenues from Freight Logistics Services

Since we formed our new subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping LA, Inc., in January 2016, we began to provideproviding freight logistics services, including cargo forwarding and truck transportation services. Since the revenue increased significantly for providing such services from period to period, the Company has presented the related revenue as a separated business segment since the first quarter of 2017 fiscal year.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the portion of revenues generated from freight logistics services has increased significantly. The increase was primarily due to increased orders from one of our clients, BAO-NYK Shipping PTE. Ltd. (“BAO-NYK”), during the current period, as compared to $nilwhich were operated by its subsidiaries in the corresponding period in 2016. The gross margin decreased to 13.6% from 67.7%, primarily due to the changing variety of services provided between the current period and the corresponding period in 2016. Every single business of freight logistics services has a unique gross margin according to a different service scope. Usually, a business in full-scale scope has a higher gross margin, and business with fragmented scope has a lower gross margin. Our fragmented scope business increased significantly, such as revenue from BAO-NYK, and contributed a much higher portion of revenue in this sector than full-scale businesses, as compared to the prior period.

The revenue generated from freight logistics services was $3,596,323, and the related gross profit was $488,128 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, the revenue generated from freight logistics services was $517,066, and the related gross profit was $350,031.

(3) Revenues from Container Trucking Services

Since we completed our web-based short-haul container truck service platform in December 2016, we began generating revenue from short-haul trucking and containers services through the service platform and introduced this Container Trucking Services as a new segment in the second quarter of 2017. Since the second quarter of the fiscal year 2017, the Company has provided container trucking services in the PRC regions and, as of the third quarter of the fiscal year 2017, has begun to provide related services in certain U.S. regions. This new business segment is based on a modified and improved version of our freight logistics services business segment.

On January 5, 2017, we entered into a joint venture agreement and formed a new joint venture company named ACH Trucking Center Corp. (“ACH Center”) with Jetta Global Logistics Inc. (“Jetta Global”). Along with the establishment of ACH Center, we began providing short haul trucking transportation and logistics services to customers located in the New York and New Jersey areas. We hold a 51% ownership stake in ACH Center. Although the establishment of ACH Center brought benefits for us and Jetta Global, it could not satisfy long term development for both us and Jetta Global. We signed a termination agreement with Jetta Global to terminate the joint venture agreement on December 4, 2017. As ACH center’s operating revenue was less than 1% of our consolidated revenue and the termination did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, the results of operations for ACH Center were not reported as discontinued operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, revenue from container trucking services decreased by $33,014 from $159,879 for the three months ended December 31, 2016, to $126,865. The decrease was primarily due to the termination of our joint venture agreement with Jetta Global.

(4) Revenues from Bulk Cargo Container Services

Special Committee Investigation

On May 5, 2022, an entity named Hindenburg Research issued a report (the “Hindenburg Report”) 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 the Board (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, 2017, gross revenue generated from bulk cargo container services was $103,4522022. The Special Committee’s preliminary findings corroborated certain of the allegations made in the Hindenburg Report and the investigation resulted in the termination and resignation of certain executive officers and directors of the Company, including but not limited to, the following:

On August 9, 2022, Mr. Yang Jie tendered his resignation from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company to the Board, following the Board’s decision on August 8, 2022, which adopted the Special Committee’s recommendation that Mr. Jie be suspended immediately, pending the Special Committee’s further investigation into allegations raised in the Hindenburg Report and other related costmatters.

On August 16, 2022, attorneys from Blank Rome LLP, counsel for the Special Committee, held a conference call with staff members of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), during which counsel represented that Yang Jie had provided documentation to the SEC that indicated that the charges against him in China had been dropped, but the Special Committee’s investigation raised questions regarding the authenticity of such documents. The Special Committee concluded at that time that Mr. Jie was $43,810in fact issued a “Red Notice” in China.

Such shares were previously issued to each of them for their services as officers of the Company. The shares were cancelled as of March 31, 2023.

On February 10, 2023, in response to two, now-settled, lawsuits filed by private investors, Mr. Jie filed a motion to dismiss the private investors’ suits and provided a copy of a formal legal opinion issued by the Zhonglun W&D Law Firm, PRC. The Zhonglun W&D legal opinion concluded that Mr. Jie was not charged with a crime in China, the investigation and underlying case had indeed been closed, and Mr. Jie was not formally treated as a criminal suspect in the PRC. In order to provide more clarity to the issues raised, the Company engaged Hebei Mei Dong Law Firm, of Shijiazhuang City, PRC to further investigate the authenticity of the documentation provided by Mr. Jie to the SEC and whether a “Red Notice” had been issued. On June 12, 2023, the Hebei Mei Dong Law Firm issued a report to the Company with respect to these issues. In their report, the Company’s Chinese counsel concluded after conferring with local officials, that the investigation of Mr. Jie conducted by the Baohe District Police Bureau of Hefei City, PRC was completed, that Mr. Jie was never prosecuted and there was no criminal judgment against Mr. Jie as of the date of such report. The Chinese counsel also confirmed that no “Red Notice” was issued for Mr. Jie in the PRC.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (“COVID-19”) starting from late January 2020 in the costPRC has spread rapidly to many parts of revenue, generalthe 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 administrative expenseU.S., our business, results of operations, and selling expenses, as discussed below.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.

 

In early December 2022, the Chinese government eased its strict control measures for COVID-19, which led to a surge in increased infections and disruptions in our business operations. Any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s China operational 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: 

Due to travel restrictions between US and China, our joint ventures were unable to start operation as planned which has slowed down our new business development.

Our sales of crypto mining machines were materially adversely affected by COVID-19. Specifically, Crypto mining machine manufacturers have been impacted by the constrained supply of the semiconductors used in the production of the highly specialized crypto mining machines; COVID-related issues have exacerbated port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays, resulting in delayed shipments and additional expenses to expedite delivery; as a result, we were unable to fulfil our customer orders on a timely basis, resulting cancellation of orders and partial refund of purchase price, as evident from the settlement in SOSNY. 

Although the impact of COVID-19 on our operations decreased in 2023, such impact still exists and may continue to exist for an unforeseeable period of time. The impact of any future spread of COVID-19 on the Company’s China operation will depend, to a large extent, on 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 is beyond our control.

(1) Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services

In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group, a related party, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain solutions to help control the potential loss of commodities during the transportation process. The Company also began providing inland transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest, following the quarter ended September 2014. The fluctuation in revenue from this segment is due to the change in the quantities of commodities transported by both Zhiyuan Investment Group and Tengda Northwest.

For Tengda Northwest, the service fee charge was RMB 32 per ton. For Zhiyuan Investment Group, the service fee charge was RMB 38 per ton.

Revenue from the inland transportation management services segment decreased $125,031 from $2,937,338 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 to $2,812,307 for the six months ended December 31, 2017. Revenue from related-party customers decreased $345,997 from $1,466,403 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 to $1,120,406 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 since the transported quantities decreased from 262,465 tons to 197,545 tons. Revenue from third-party customers increased $220,966 from $1,470,935 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 to $1,691,901 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 since the transported quantities increased from 313,773 tons to 350,834 tons for the period indicated.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, gross profit from inland transportation management services amounted to $2,456,132 and $2,745,537, respectively.

Overall gross margins for this segment decreased to 87.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 from 93.5% for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease of gross margins in the current is due to the change of product mix with different service fee per ton.

(2) Revenues from Freight Logistics Services

Since we formed our new subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping LA, Inc., in January 2016, we began to provide freight logistics services, including cargo forwarding and truck transportation services. Since the revenue increased significantly for providing such services from period to period, the Company has presented the related revenue as a separated business segment since the first quarter of 2017 fiscal year.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the portion of revenues generated from freight logistics services has increased significantly. The increase was primarily due to orders from one of our clients: approximately $5.7 million of revenue was generated from BAO-NYK Shipping PTE. Ltd. (“BAO-NYK”) during the current period, as compared to less than $2,000 in the corresponding period in 2016. The gross margin decreased to 11.7% from 62.1% primarily due to the change in the variety of services currently provided in comparison with those services provided in the corresponding period of 2016. Every single business of freight logistics services has a unique gross margin according to different service scope. Usually, a business in full-scale scope has a higher gross margin, and the business with fragmented scope has a lower gross margin. Our fragmented scope business increased significantly, such as revenue from BAO-NYK, and contributed a much higher portion of revenue in this sector than full-scale business compared to prior period.

The revenue generated from freight logistics services was $6,600,212 and the related gross profit was $772,104 for the six months ended December 31, 2017. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, the revenue generated from freight logistics services was $975,733, and the related gross profit was $606,360.

Revenue from ACH Center amounted to $46,937 or 0.7% of the segment’s revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and gross profit from ACH Center amounted to $13,989 representing 1.8% of the segment’ gross profit.

(3) Revenues from Container Trucking Services

Since we completed our web-based short-haul container truck service platform in December 2016, we began generating revenue from short-haul trucking and containers services through the service platform and presented this as a new segment, "Container Trucking Services," from in the second quarter of 2017. Since the second quarter of the fiscal year 2017, the Company has provided container trucking services in PRC regions and, as of the third quarter of the fiscal year 2017, has begun to provide related services in certain U.S. regions. This new business segment is based on a modified and improved version of our freight logistics services business segment.

On January 5, 2017, we entered into a joint venture agreement and formed a new joint venture company named ACH Trucking Center Corp. (“ACH Center”) with Jetta Global Logistics Inc. (“Jetta Global”). Along with the establishment of ACH Center, we began providing short haul trucking transportation and logistics services to customers located in the New York and New Jersey areas. We hold a 51% ownership stake in ACH Center. Although the establishment of ACH Center brought benefit for us and Jetta Global, it could not satisfy long term development for both us and Jetta Global. We signed a termination agreement with Jetta Global to terminate the joint venture agreement on December 4, 2017. As ACH center’s operating revenue was less than 1% of our consolidated revenue and the termination did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, the results of operations for ACH Center were not reported as discontinued operation.

For the six months ended December 31, 2017, revenue generated from container trucking services was $579,706 and the related gross profit was $186,682. Revenue from ACH Center amounted to $42,968 or 7.8% of the segment’s revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and gross profit from ACH Center amounted to $4,297 representing 2.3% of the segment’s gross profit.

The arrangement included coordinating the customer to sign the purchase contract with sulfur suppliers in the United States, organizing the container shipping, custom clearance; all have been fulfilled when we shipped the product to our customer’s designated port, Qingdao PRC. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, gross revenue generated from bulk cargo container services was $608,267 and the related cost was $464,489 with gross profit of $143,778 or 23.6%. We were the agent in this transaction as we did not take any inventory risk; we reported revenue on a net basis less the cost of sulfur. Due to the integrated and value added services we provide to our customers, the average gross profit was higher than freight logistics.

Operating Costs and Expenses

The significant decrease of gross profit margin of the freight logistics services segment is due to a change in the variety of services provided, which caused revenue from the fragmented scope to contribute a much larger portion of total revenue under the freight logistics services segment in the current period as compared to the prior period.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, office rent, office expenses, regulatory filing and listing fees, amortization of stock-based compensation, legal, accounting and other professional service fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, we had $2,590,371 of expenses, as compared to $1,636,198 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $954,173, or 58.3%. The increase was primarily due to increases in labor expense of $232,367, provision for doubtful accounts of $598,403, consulting fees of $79,074, and legal fees of $54,952. As a percentage of revenue, our general and administrative expenses decreased from 40.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2016 to 24.4% for the corresponding period in 2017.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses consist primarily of business development costs, such as traveling expenses for sales purposes, and salaries and benefits for our sales staff. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, we had $357,727 of sales expenses as compared to $112,184 for the six months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $245,543, or 218.9%. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we increased our business development efforts to explore new business opportunities while maintaining our current customer relationships. Rising labor costs also increased our overall selling expenses as compared to the same period of 2016. As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses increased from 2.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2016, to 3.4% for the corresponding period in 2017.

Operating Income

The Company had an operating income of $610,598 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to an operating income of $1,667,433 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increased gross profit generated from freight logistics services and bulk cargo container services as discussed above.

Financial Income (Expense), Net

The Company’s net financial income was $222,595 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to the net financial expense of $91,904$2,930,353 for the same period of 2016. We have operations in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and the PRC, and our financial income (expenses) for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily reflects the foreign currency transaction income or loss expressed in U.S. Dollars.2022. 

Taxation

The Company’s income tax benefit was $274,692 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to an income tax expense of $145,012 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in income tax benefit was due to the change in valuation allowance and partly offset by an increased current income tax expense.

During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a total deferred income tax benefit of $1,073,700, which derived from the utilization of NOL and the decrease in the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, based on the Company’s latest projected taxable income.

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“The Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Additionally, the Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused us to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOL carryforwards and record a deferred income tax expense of $120,400.

Meanwhile, we accrued a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings in the amount of $478,499 which will be paid over eight years. The increase in current income tax expense was also attributable to the increase in the taxable income of Trans Pacific during the six months ended December 31, 2017 in comparison to the same period in 2016.

We periodically evaluate the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and reduce the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. We consider many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including our recent cumulative earnings, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. We have provided an allowance against the deferred tax assets balance as of December 31, 2017. The net decrease in the valuation allowance for the six months ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $1,097,700 on the basis of our reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. We considered new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect the future realization of deferred tax assets. Due to enactment of the Act, NOL could be carried forward indefinitely and we had pretax income resulting in utilization of NOL in the current period, we believe that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that all of our NOL are realizable.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net income of $1,107,885 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to a net income of $1,430,517 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. After the deduction of non-controlling interest, net income attributable to Sino-Global was $914,892 for the six months ended December 31, 2017; for the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Company had a net income of $1,538,621. Comprehensive income attributable to the Company was $1,191,837 for the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to a comprehensive income of $1,287,514 for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Revenue RecognitionNone.

Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured.

Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customer’s warehouse.
Revenues from freight logistics services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
Revenues from container trucking services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.
Revenues from bulk cargo container services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered. Bulk cargo container services included shipping of products, arranging cargo container shipping from US to China port, then from China port to end user. Revenue is recognized upon completion of shipping arrangements agreed with customers, either at customer’s designated port or final destination.

Basis of Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent, its subsidiaries and its affiliates. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”) is considered to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of our and Sino-China's financial statements. The accounts of Sino-China are consolidated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s revenues are included in our total revenues, its net loss from operations is consolidated with our net income before non-controlling interest. Our non-controlling interest in its net loss is then subtracted to calculate the net income attributable to the Company. The Company temporarily suspended its business with Sino-China in June 2014. Therefore, there is no net income generated by Sino-China in the present.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

Stock-based Compensation

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

Taxation

Because the Company and its subsidiaries and Sino-China are incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. The Company uses the 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.

Income tax returns for the years prior to 2014 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“The Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 35% to 21%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. Additionally, the Tax Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused us to re-measure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOL carryforwards and recorded one time income tax payable relating to “deemed repatriated tax” to be paid over 8 years.

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.

39

PRC Business Tax and Surcharges

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

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities engage in services or selling of goods in the PRC are subject to a value-added tax (“VAT”) in accordance with PRC laws. All of the Company’s revenue generated in the PRC are subject to a VAT on the gross sales price. The VAT rates are 6% and 11%, depending on the type of services provided. The Company is entitled to a deduction or offset for VAT paid on the services rendered by the vendors against the VAT when the Company engages in services.

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

The Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates report revenues net of PRC’s VAT, business tax and surcharges for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Based on the foregoing evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief FinancialOperating Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”))Act) were not effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms anddue to ineffective internal controls over financial reporting that such information was accumulated and communicated to the management, including Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The assessment stemmed from the following material weaknesses –weaknesses:

 

 Lack of segregation of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries;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 resources with technical competency to review and record non-routine or complex transactions; and

Lack of proper procedures to maintain supporting documents for accounting records; and

Lack of proper oversight for the Company’s cash disbursement process that led to misuse of the Company funds by its former executive.
