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:

our ability to timely and properly deliver our services;

our 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 investigationinvestigations 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 SUBSIDIAIRES 

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the NineSix Months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company is a globalan integrated logistics integrated solution provider that was incorporatedfounded in the United States in 2001. On September 18, 2007, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to mergemerged 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 then expanded operations into the digital assets business.

The Company conducts its business Currently, we primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and the United States, where the majority of its clients are located. For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company operated in two segments: (1)focus on providing freight logistics services, which wereinclude shipping, warehouse services and other 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 and product initiatives. Beginning in fiscal 2022, we expanded our services to include warehousing services provided by our U.S. subsidiary Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc.

We are currently engaged in providing freight logistics services including warehouse services, which are operated by itsour subsidiaries in both the United StatesTrans Pacific Shipping Limited and PRC, and (2) the sale of crypto-mining machines, which were operated by its subsidiaries in the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not sell crypto-mining machines. On Feb 27, 2023, Ningbo Saimeinuo Supply Chain Management Ltd. changed its name to Ningbo Saimeinuo Web Technology Ltd. On March 30, 2023, the board of directors of the Company authorized the Company to conduct an e-commerce business in China.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting in late January 2020 in the PRC spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic and has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and Gorgeous Trading Ltd. and Brilliant Warehouse Service Inc. in the U.S. Given the rapidly expanding natureUnited States. Our range of the COVID-19 pandemic,services include transportation, warehouse, collection, last-mile delivery, drop shipping, customs clearance, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations and its workforce are concentrated in China and the U.S., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely affected. In early December 2022, Chinese government eased the strict control measures for COVID-19, which led to a surge in increased infections and disruption in our business operations. Any future impact of COVID-19 on our operating results in China 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.overseas transit delivery.

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-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”) was considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), with the Company as the primary beneficiary. The Company, through Trans Pacific Beijing, entered into certain agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company 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. 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.

(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 condense consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock-based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for 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 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 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 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 MarchDecember 31, 2023 and June 30, 20222023 and for the three and ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Restricted Cash

As of December 31, 2023, our restricted balance was $3 million. The restricted cash was required by East West Bank to secure a letter of credit that was used to provide a guarantee to the Company’s business partner Solarlink Group Inc. (“Solarlink”), a North Las Vegas based advance 3.6G photovoltaic solar panel manufacturer and solar power service provider, for Solarlink’s rental obligations for a leased warehouse in North Las Vegas. The term of the warehouse lease is one year, upon the expiration of which the letter of credit will terminate unless the letter of credit is used to pay rent under the warehouse lease. Management believes that Solarlink's business is very promising and hopes to actively participate in its future. Management believes that the guarantee provided to Solarlink will not result in substantial losses to Singularity in the future. Based on such expectations, the management believes its restricted cash account stated in the notes is not exposed to any significant risks.

 

(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)(f) Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for creditdoubtful 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, the customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, current economic conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect collectability. Receivables are generally considered past due after 180 days. The Company reserves 25%-50% of the customers balance aged receivable between 181 days to 1 year, 50%-100% of the customers balance over 1 year and 100% of the customers balance over 2 years. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. As the Company has focused its development 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 credit lossbad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. The estimate of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, current economic conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions that affect collectability. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for credit lossesdoubtful 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)(g) 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:

Buildings20 years
Motor vehicles3-10 years
Computer and office equipment1-5 years
Furniture and fixtures3-5 years
System software5 years
Leasehold improvementsShorter of lease term or useful lives
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 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 ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 and 2022, no impairments were recorded.

(i)


(h) 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-termnear 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., (“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 Ltd. in October 2021. For the year endedAs of June 30, 2022,2023, the Company invested $210,000 and recorded $47,181$81,640 investment loss.loss in LSM. The joint venture has not started its operations due to COVID-19. Due to continuing lossAs we could not obtain the financial information of the investee, we determined the loss is other than temporary and providedto provide a full impairment of our equity investment. The Company recorded nil and $34,458 investment loss and $128,370a $128,360 impairment loss for the three and nine monthsyear ended March 31,June 30, 2023.

(j)(i) 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)(j) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue which represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. The Company identifies contractual performance obligations and determines whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

The Company 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 the customerfor 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. 

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.


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 term of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement determined based on the costs incurred. Revenue relating to variable pricing is estimated 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.

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.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company engaged in resale of cryptocurrency mining equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not sell crypto-mining machines.

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 ninethree months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized the net sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment based on net basis as the manufacturer of the products was responsible for shipping$235,520 and custom clearing for the products. nil, respectively.

For the threesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company did not recognize anyrecognized the net sale of cryptocurrency mining equipment.equipment of $732,565 and nil, 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 balancebalances amounted to $205,477$67,631 and $6,955,577$66,531 as of MarchDecember 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022,2023, respectively.

(l) Leases

(k) Leases

The Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) for the year ended June 30, 2020, and elected the practical expedients that doesdo 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 of 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 carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of 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.

(m) Taxation


 

(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 MarchDecember 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022.2023.

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-ChinaTrans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific BeijingShanghai 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”). in the PRC. Revenue from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries 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 are required to pay city construction tax (7%) and education surcharges (3%) based on the net VAT payments.

(n)(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 ninesix months ended MarchDecember 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no dilutive effect of potential issuances of shares of common stock of the Company because the Company generated a net loss.

(o)

(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.

(p) Stock-based Compensation


 

(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.


(q)(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,(q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the World Health Organization declaredCompany’s financial reporting, the COVID-19 asCompany undertakes a pandemic.

(s) 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 adoption did not have 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.

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 that were 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 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 matters.

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 in fact issued a “Red Notice” in China.

In December 2022, the Company entered into a cancellation agreement and a letter confirming the rescission of the grant of the shares with each of Yang Jie and Ms. Jing Shan, our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Jie and Ms. Shan agreed to return 300,000 shares and 100,000 shares of our common stock, respectively, to the Company for cancellation at no cost. 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 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 Hebei Mei Dong Law Firm 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.

On February 23, 2023, the Board approved the dissolution of the Special Committee upon conclusion of the committee’s investigation.

On July 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Settlement Paymentand Release Agreement with Mr. Jie which fully resolved his claims against the Company.

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 U.S., our business, results of operations, and financial condition are still adversely affected. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence of 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:

Our customers have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, which reduced the demand for freight logistics services. As a result, our PRC revenue decreased by $546,438, or 24.37%, from $2,242,296 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 to $1,695,858 for the same period in 2023; there was no material impact for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year.

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.

Revenues from Freight Logistics Services

 

Freight logistics services primarily consist of cargo forwarding, brokerage, warehouse and other freight services. Revenues from freight logistics services was $759,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $211,842, or approximately 21.8%, from $971,747 for the same period in 2022, mainly due to the decrease in fright logistic services of both our PRC and USA operations. Our USA operations mainly related to our warehouse services. Revenue decreased due to reduced customer demand for international e-commerce which continued to be impacted by Covid-19 and inflation. In addition, we have only one single warehouse, which limits our capabilities in handling orders that required multiple warehouses. PRC operations were negatively impacted due to a decrease in demand from a major customer. 

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses decreased by $5,861,198 or approximately 56.6%, from $10,358,558 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $4,497,360 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation ofWe prepare our financial statements and related disclosures in conformityaccordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’sGAAP, which requires our management to make judgments,estimates and assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts reported. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the Notes to consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) describe the significantreporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and methodsother uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidatedour financial statements.

As of MarchDecember 31, 2023, 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 and reconcile 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 proper oversight for the Company’s cash disbursement process that led to misuse of the Company funds by its former executive.

 


 

  

In order to remediate the material weaknesses stated above, we will be implementinghave hired external financial advisors and updated certain of our internal controls. We intend to implement additional policies and procedures, which may include:

Hiring of CFO 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 of the fluctuations with further analysis. This should be done by CFO and reviewed by CEO, communicated with the Board;

 

 Strengthening corporate governance;

 

 Setting up policies and procedures for the Company’s related party identification to properly identify, record and disclose related party transactions; and

Jinhe claimed monetary damages of “at least $575,000” and “potentially exceeding $1.8 million,” plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees.

On January 10, 2023, the St. Hudson lawsuit was consolidated with the Investor Actions and on February 24, 2023, all three consolidated actions were dismissed without prejudice by the court, in furtherance of the parties having reached an agreement in principle to settle their disputes. The Company, Yang Jie, Jing Shan, and the plaintiffs in the three actions entered into a certain settlement agreement and general mutual release with an effective date of March 10, 2023, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the plaintiffs $10,525,910.82. The plaintiffs agreed to discharge and forever release the defendants from all claims that were or could have been raised in those actions, as well as dismissal of each of the actions with prejudice. The Company has no role or knowledge as to how the settlement payment will be allocated between and among the plaintiffs. The Company made the settlement payment on March 14, 2023. The plaintiffs agreed to irrevocably forfeit 3,728,807 shares of Common Stock they hold. The cancellation of these shares has been completed. The fair value of the shares was $2,125,420 on March 10, 2023, the settlement amount over the fair value of the cancelled shares was recorded as an other expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

On December 9, 2022, Piero Crivellaro, purportedly on behalf of the persons or entities who purchased or acquired publicly traded securities of the Company between February 2021 and November 2022, filed a putative class action against the Company and other defendants in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging violations of federal securities laws related to alleged false or misleading disclosures made by the Company in its public filings. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, plus interest, costs, fees, and attorneys’ fees. On February 7, 2023, two additional plaintiffs moved to be appointed as the lead class plaintiff in this action; those motions remain under the Court’s consideration. As this action is still in the early stage, the Company cannot predict the outcome.

On March 23, 2023, SG Shipping & Risk Solution Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of our company, entered into an operating income right transfer contract with Goalowen pursuant to which Goalowen agreed to transfer its rights to receive income from operating a tuna fishing vessel to SG Shipping for $3 million. Such contract was signed by the Company’s former COO Jing Shan without the Board’s authorization. On May 5, 2023, Ms. Shan made a wire transfer of $3 million to Goalowen without the Board’s authorization,. The Company filed a complaint against Jing Shan accusing her of the unauthorized transfers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and has brought a lawsuit against Goalowen to recover the $3 million.

On October 23, 2023, the Company filed a complaint against its former CFO, Tuo Pan, accusing her of conversion due to her alleged involvement in two unauthorized transfers from the Company, amounting to $219,000 and $7,920, respectively.

In addition to the above matters, the Company is also subject to additional contractual litigations as to which it is unable to estimate the outcome.
