RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock by you involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the followingOperations.” The risks and all other information set forth in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the events or developmentsuncertainties described below occurs,are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are unaware or that we believe are not material at this time could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition andor results of operations may suffer.operations. In thatany case, the market pricevalue of our common stock maysecurities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial maySee also impair our business operationsthe information contained under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this prospectus..

Our business operations are primarily conducted in the PRC. Because China’s economy and its laws, regulations and policies are different from those typically found in the United States and are continually changing, we face certain risks, which are summarized below.

Risks Related to Our BusinessRISKS RELATED TO THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

Despite generating net income attributableWe face risks related to Sino-Global inhealth pandemics that could impact our fiscal year 2014, we have a history ofsales and operating losses and may need to raise additional funds to continue our operations and to execute our business plan. We may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity funding under commercially reasonable terms or issue additional securities.

We reported net income attributable to Sino-Global of approximately $1.6 million for fiscal year 2014, compared to net loss to Sino-Global of approximately $1.8 million for fiscal year 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million. If we are not able to generate sufficient income and cash flows from operations to fund our operations and strategic growth plans, we may be required to seek additional funding through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Additional funding may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or security interests in our assets. If we are unable to raise adequate funds or generate them from operations, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of our growth plans and/or liquidate some or all of our assets.

We have historically relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our business and no longer provide shipping agency services to our former largest customer.

In fiscal year 2014, we commenced providing shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services to a single customer, Zhiyuan Investment Group, an entity controlled by Mr. Zhang, our largest shareholder. During fiscal year 2014, $4,120,409 (or 35.4%), of our net revenues and $2,517,008 (or 62.4%), of our gross profits came from providing shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services to Zhiyuan Investment Group. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not providing shipping and chartering services to Zhiyuan Investment Group, as the nature of business is cyclical, we cannot predict when, or if ever, we will receive another order for shipping and chartering services from Zhiyuan Investment Group. As of the date of this prospectus, we continue to provide inland transportation management services to Zhiyuan Investment Group. If we cease to provide services to Zhiyuan Investment Group, our business and results of operations would be materially adversely affected. Further, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to replace this customer with one or more new customers of similar size. Prior to fiscal year 2014, we relied heavily on Beijing Shourong Forwarding Service, Co., Ltd.  (“Shourong”), an affiliate of Capital Steel, a steel company in China, for a substantial percentage of our shipping agency business. As part of the restructuring of our business, we exited our non-performing service arrangements including our shipping agency service with Shourong, who in fiscal year 2013, accounted for approximately 63% of our total net revenues. In fiscal year 2014, we did not provide any shipping agency services to Shourong and cannot determine the extent of services, if any, we will deliver to Shourong in the future.

We have recently entered shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services businesses and cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete effectively in these business areas.

Prior to fiscal year 2014, our sole line of business was providing shipping agency services. We expanded our services to include shipping and chartering services in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and inland transportation management services in the quarter ended December 31, 2013. As we are a new entrant into these two business lines, we do not have a significant market presence. Further, we currently only provide shipping and chartering services and inland transportation services to one customer, Zhiyuan Investment Group, who is controlled by Mr. Zhang, our largest shareholder. We may not have been able to enter into these business lines without our relationship with Mr. Zhang, and we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in securing and providing shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services contracts for other customers on acceptable terms, if at all.

The fees that we received from Zhiyuan Investment Group for our shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services may not be indicative of the fees that we may receive for the same services provided to unaffiliated customers and may be materially lower, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.results.

Our shippingbusiness could be adversely affected by the effects of a widespread outbreak of contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Any outbreak of contagious diseases, and chartering services and inland transportation management services to date have been provided to a single customer, Zhiyuan Investment Group. Therefore, we cannot provide any assurances that the fees we have received for these services from this customer are indicative of the fees that we may receive if we are able to obtain non-affiliated customers for these services. The fees that we may receive from non-affiliated customers may be less than what we have received from our affiliated customer, andother adverse public health developments, particularly in China, could possibly be so low as to make these lines of business unprofitable, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and could require us to terminate such service lines.

We have entered into a number of business arrangements that are significant to us with two of our shareholders including Mr. Zhang, our largest shareholder, and through Mr. Zhang, Zhiyuan Investment Group, who is controlled by Mr. Zhang. The failure to maintain our business relationship with either or both of such shareholders would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In April 2013, as approved by our Board of Directors and shareholders, Mr. Zhang purchased 1,800,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $3 million, which as of the date of this prospectus represents approximately 29% of our issued and outstanding common stock, resulting in Mr. Zhang becoming our largest shareholder. As a result of Mr. Zhang’s desire to find business opportunities that would mutually benefit us and Zhiyuan Investment Group, a company controlled by Mr. Zhang, which owns a number of businesses in China, in June 2013, we signed a 5-year Global Logistic Service Agreement with two parties, one of which was Zhiyuan Investment Group and the other was TEWOO Chemical & Light Industry Zhiyuan Trade Co., Ltd. (“Tewoo”). Thereafter, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we executed a shipping and chartering services agreement with Zhiyuan Investment Group, pursuant to which we assisted Zhiyuan Investment Group in the transportation of approximately 51,000 tons of chromite ore from South Africa to China; and in September 2013, we executed an inland transportation management service contract with Zhiyuan Investment Group pursuant to which we agreed to provide certain advisory services and assist Zhiyuan Investment Group in attempting to control its potential commodities loss during the transportation process. On a one-time basis, to assist a short-term working capital need of Zhiyuan Investment Group, effective January 1, 2014, we entered into a one-year non-interest bearing short-term loan agreement with Zhiyuan Investment Group; in addition, we also had trade receivables due from Zhiyuan Investment Group. The aggregate amount of such loan and trade receivables from Zhiyuan Investment Group as of June 30, 2014 was $2,920,950, of which approximately $2.7 million has been repaid as of the date of this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, Zhiyuan Investment Group’s short term loan has been repaid in full and the balance of trade receivables is approximately $230,000.

In May 2014, we signed a strategic agreement with Qingdao Zhenghe Shipping Group Limited (“Zhenghe”), to jointly explore mutually beneficial business development opportunities. Zhenghe is a PRC company to which Mr. Wang is the majority shareholder. To demonstrate the commitment by Zhenghe to its business relationship with us, in June 2014, as approved by our Board of Directors, Mr. Wang, through a company owned by him, purchased 200,000 shares of our common stock for $444,000, resulting in Mr. Wang owning as of the date of this prospectus, approximately 3.2% of our outstanding common stock. Subsequently, and as part of our strategy to expand our service platform, in September 2014, as approved by our Board of Directors, we acquired LSM, a ship management company based in Hong Kong from Mr. Wang. While to date the net revenues generated from such business have been immaterial, we believe that ship management is a good complement to our existing service platform. The acquisition of LSM will result in the issuance of between 20,000 and 200,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Wang, depending on whether LSM reaches certain net income targets for the period July 4, 2014 through December 31, 2014. LSM outsources its ship management services to Qingdao Longhe Ship Management Services Co., Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Wang.

As a result of our business relationship with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang, since April 2013, we have received approximately $3.5 million from the sale of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to such two persons and added shipping and chartering, inland transportation management and ship management services to our service platform, which shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services generated 35.4% and 62.4% of our net revenues and gross profit in fiscal year 2014, respectively.

Based upon the above, the failure by us to maintain our existing business relationship with Mr. Zhang and/operations. These could include disruptions or Mr. Wang would have a material adverse effectrestrictions on our business and results of operations.

The shipping agency business is very competitive in nature and many of our competitors have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we have.

Our competitors inability to resume the shipping agency business include three major shipping agencies, China Ocean Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. (“Penavico”), China Shipping (Group) Company (“China Shipping”) and China Marine Shipping Agency Co., Ltd. (“Sinoagent”). These competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and name recognition than we have. In addition, we also face competition from a large number of smaller, local shipping agents. Our competitors may introduce new business models, and if these new business models are more attractive to customers than the business models we currently use, our customers may switch to our competitors’ services, and we may lose market share. We believe that competition in China’s shipping agency industry may become more intense as more shipping agencies, including Chinese/foreign joint ventures, are qualified to conduct business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against any new or existing competitors, or against any new business models our competitors may implement. In addition, the increased competition we anticipate in the shipping agent industry may also reduce the number of vessels for which we are able to providegeneral shipping agency services, as well as temporary closures of our facilities and ports or cause usthe facilities of our customers and third-party service providers. Any disruption or delay of our customers or third-party service providers would likely impact our operating results and the ability of the Company to reduce agency fees in order to attract or retain customers. All of these competitive factors could havecontinue as a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our three largest shipping agency competitors, Penavico, China Shipping and Sinoagent, are partly owned by the Chinese government which places us atgoing concern. In addition, a significant competitive disadvantage.

The Chinese government’s ownership interests in Penavico, China Shipping and Sinoagent, place us at a significant competitive disadvantage. When the Chinese government founded Penavico, it closed the shipping agency industry to a numberoutbreak of foreign shipping agents that had been providing services in China. These restrictions have since been removed, but there can be no assurance that the Chinese government will not reinstate these restrictions or impose other restrictions, or nationalize the shipping agency industrycontagious diseases in the future. Further, we believehuman population could result in a widespread health crisis that state ownership provides Penavico, China Shipping and Sinoagent, with advantages and leverage over local government officials and local companies that we, as a non-state owned company, do not have. Also, due to their relationship withcould adversely affect the Chinese government, these competitors may have access to funding that is not available to us. This access may allow them to grow their businesses at a rate we are not able to match. If the Chinese government were to take actions to limit competition or provide these competitors with preferential access to business and funding, which results in our losing business, it would have a material adverse effect on our operationseconomies and financial condition.

We believe that our competitors in the shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services business, have greater name recognition, significantly more experience, financial, marketing and other resources than we have and we expect to face intense competition in these business segments.

We have recently launched the shipping and chartering services and inland transportation management services business and so we expect that our competitors in these segments will have greater experience and name recognition than we do, which is a competitive disadvantage to us. Further, we expect that these competitors will be larger than us and have greater financial and marketing resources than we have, which also puts us at a significant competitive disadvantage. Since larger competitors may be able to offer the same services we offer at lower rates than what we would need to charge to operate profitably, this would have a material adverse effect on our business and resultsmarkets of operation.

The barriers to enter into the business segments in which we operate are low and we may face competition from new entrants into these business segments.

The number of competitors offering the same services that we do may increase in the future since the barriers to entry are low. Increases in competition could lead to revenue reductions, reduced profit margins, or a loss of market share, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our customers are engaged in the shipping industry, and, consequently, our financial performance is dependent upon the economic conditions of that industry.

We derive our revenues from providing services to customers in the business of shipping materials to China and our success is dependent upon our customer’s shipping needs. Our customers’ shipping needs are intrinsically linked tomany other countries, resulting in an economic conditions in the shipping industry in general and trade with China in particular. The shipping industry, in turn, is subject to intense competitive pressures and is affected by overall economic conditions. Accordingly,downturn that could affect demand for our services could be harmed by instability or downturns in the shipping industry, reductions in trade between China and other countries or a combination of both which could materially lower demand or causesignificantly impact our customers to forego the shipping agency services we provide by attempting to provide such services in-house. If any of the foregoing occurs, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

We may be required to assume liabilities for our clients in the future.

An increasing number of companies that require shipping agency services have pressured shipping agents to guarantee their clients’ liabilities. Some companies have required shipping agents, as a condition of doing business, to pay for tariffs, port charges, and other fees, or to pay these fees with the promise of reimbursement at a later date. Other companies have sought to include shipping agents as parties in voyage charter agreements, leading to potential liability for shipping agents in the event of a breach by another party. We expect that these pressures on shipping agents to accept more liability will increase as competition among shipping agencies intensifies. While we do not currently pay these liabilities and have no present intention to begin doing so in the future, the assumption of any of these or other liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are heavily dependent upon the services of experienced personnel who possess skills that are valuable in our industry, and we may have to actively compete for their services.

We are a small company with limited resources, and we compete in large part on the basis of the quality of services we are able to provide our clients. As a result, we are heavily dependent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled personnel to serve our clients. Many of our personnel possess skills that would be valuable to other companies engaged in one or more of our business lines. Consequently, we expect that we will have to actively compete with other Chinese shipping agencies to retain these employees. Some of our competitors may be able to pay our employees more than we are able to pay to retain them. Our ability to profitably operate is substantially dependent upon our ability to locate, hire, train and retain our personnel. Although we have not experienced difficulty locating, hiring, training or retaining our employees to date, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our current personnel, or that we will be able to attract and assimilate other qualified personnel in the future. If we are unable to effectively obtain and maintain skilled personnel, the quality of the shipping services that we provide could be materially impaired, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are substantially dependent upon our key personnel.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of our executive officers and key employees. In particular, the services of:operating results.

· Mr. Lei Cao, Chief Executive Officer;

· Mr. Anthony S. Chan, Acting Chief Financial Officer; and

· Mr. Zhikang Huang, Chief Operating Officer;

would be difficult for us to replace. While we have employment contracts with each of our executive officers, such contracts may be terminated in certain circumstances by the executive officers. Moreover, we do not have any “key person” life insurance policies on any of our employees. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees could substantially impair our ability to effectively execute our business and expand our service platform, which would havecoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a material adverse effectsignificant impact on our business and results of operations.

We need to maintain our relationships with local agents.

Our shipping agency business is dependent upon our relationships with local agents operating in the ports where our customers ship their products. As a general agent, substantially all of our shipping agency revenues have been derived from services delivered by the local agents and we believe local agent relationships will remain critical to our success in the future. We have a number of local agents that account for a significant portion of our business, the loss of one or more of which could materially and negatively impact our ability to retain and service our customers. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain and expand our existing local agent relationships or enter into new local agent relationships, or that new or renewed local agent relationships will be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to maintain and expand our existing local agent relationships, renew existing local agent relationships, or enter into new local agent relationships, we may lose customers, customer introductions and co-marketing benefits, and our business and results of operations may suffer significantly.

We are dependent on third party carriers and inland transportation companies to transport our client’s cargo.

We rely on commercial ocean freight carriers and inland transportation companies, for the movement of our client’s cargo. Consequently, our ability to provide services for our clients could be adversely impacted by: shortages in available cargo capacity; changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service or increases in the cost of fuel, taxes and labor; and other factors not within our control. Reductions in ocean freight capacity could negatively impact our yields. Material interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation, whether caused by strike, work stoppage, lock-out, slowdown or otherwise, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our profitability depends on our ability to effectively manage our cost structure as we grow the business.

As we continue to attempt to increase our revenues through the expansion of our service offerings, we must maintain an appropriate cost structure to maintain and increase our profitability. While we intend to increase our revenues by increasing the number and quality of the shipping services we provide by strategic acquisitions, and by maintaining and expanding our gross profit margins by reducing costs, our profitability will be driven in large part by our ability to manage our agent commissions, personnel and general and administrative costs as a function of our net revenues. There can be no assurances that we will be able to effectively control our costs and failure to do so would result in lack of profitability, which would have a material adverse effect our business and results of operations.

Comparisons of our operating results from period to period are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will continue to fluctuate in the future because of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In fiscal year 2014, a substantial portion of our revenues was derived from Zhiyuan Investment Group whose business needs we believe are tied closely to economic trends and consumer demand that can be difficult to predict. There can be no assurance that our historic operating performance will continue in future periods as we cannot assume or provide any assurance that Zhiyuan Investment Group will continue to utilize our services, or have the same level of demand for our services that it had in fiscal year 2014. Because our quarterly revenues and operating results vary significantly, comparisons of our period-to-period results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.

We have not paid any dividends and we do not foresee paying dividends in the future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, if ever. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, Virginia and PRC laws, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Foreign Operational Risks

We do not have business liability, disruption, or director and officer liability insurance.

We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in China, or any director and officer liability insurance coverage for our directors and officers in the United States or China. Any business interruption, litigation or natural disaster and/or any claim against any of our directors or officers resulting from any of their actions in such capacities, may result in our business incurring substantial costs and the diversion of resources.

Trans Pacific’s contractual arrangements with Sino-China may result in adverse tax consequences to us.

As a result of our corporate structure and contractual arrangements between Trans Pacific and Sino-China, any revenues generated by Sino-China’s operations in China and/or any revenues derived from Trans Pacific‘s contractual arrangements with Sino-China are subject to PRC tax. Moreover, we could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that Trans Pacific’s contractual arrangements with Sino-China were not made on an arm’s length basis and adjust our income and expenses for PRC tax purposes in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could result in a reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of adjustments recorded by Sino-China, which could adversely affect us by increasing Sino-China’s tax liability without reducing Trans Pacific’s tax liability, which could further result in late payment fees and other penalties to Sino-China for underpaid taxes.

Trans Pacific’s contractual arrangements with Sino-China may not be as effective in providing control over Sino-China as direct ownership of Sino-China.

Until fiscal year 2014, we conducted a significant portion of our shipping agency business through contractual arrangements with Sino-China that provided us, through our ownership of Trans Pacific, with effective control over Sino-China. Although each contract under Trans Pacific’s contractual arrangements with Sino-China is valid, binding and enforceable under current PRC laws and regulations, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations governing the enforcement and performance of such contractual control over Sino-China. If the PRC government determines that these contractual arrangements as a whole do not comply with applicable regulations, our business could be substantially adversely affected. In addition, these contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Sino-China as direct ownership of Sino-China would. Furthermore, Sino-China may breach the contractual arrangements. For example, Sino-China may decide not to pay consulting or marketing fees to Trans Pacific, and consequently to our company, in accordance with the existing contractual arrangements. In event of any such breach, we would have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law. These remedies may not always be effective, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system. In light of rising operating costs and expenses associated with doing business in China, consecutive years of operating losses reported by Sino-China, concerns raised by the US regulators over the last few years about VIE’s and our belief that the investing public may have a negative perception of publicly traded companies with VIE structures, we decided to reorganize our shipping agency business in fiscal year 2013. As a result of our reorganization efforts, we reduced our overhead, changed our service mix, stopped providing agency services to Shourong, one of our largest customers, and shifted our agency business operation from Sino-China to our wholly-owned subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with Sino-China and its shareholders.

We conduct a substantial portion of our business through Trans Pacific and Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd. Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd., Trans Pacific and our company are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China and, in particular, laws applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Trans Pacific, Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd. and our company are considered foreign persons or foreign invested enterprises under PRC law. As a result, Trans Pacific, Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd. and our company are subject to PRC law limitations on foreign ownership of Chinese companies. These laws and regulations are relatively new and may be subject to change, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance by foreign investors. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.

In addition, we depend on Sino-China to honor its agreements with Trans Pacific. Almost all of these agreements are governed by PRC law. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

The PRC government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. We cannot predict the effect of the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations on our businesses. We cannot assure you that our current ownership and operating structure would not be found in violation of any current or future PRC laws or regulations. As a result, we may be subject to sanctions, including fines,January 2020 and could be required to restructure our operations or cease to provide certain services. Any of these or similar actions could significantly disrupt our business operations or restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition and results for the remaining months of operations.the 2021 calendar year.

The shareholdersOur ability to manufacture and/or sell our products may be impaired by damage or disruption to our manufacturing, warehousing or distribution capabilities, or to the capabilities of Sino-China have potential conflictsour suppliers, logistics service providers or distributors as a result of interestthe impact from the COVID-19. This damage or disruption could result from events or factors that are impossible to predict or are beyond our control, such as raw material scarcity, pandemics, government shutdowns, disruptions in logistics, supplier capacity constraints, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, fire, terrorism or other events. In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China. In compliance with us,the government mandates, the Company temporarily closed and its production operations were halted from late January 2020 through the middle of February 2020. During this closure, employees had only limited access to the Company’s facilities, which mayled to delayed order manufacturing, assembly and fulfillment. While the spread of the disease has gradually returned under control in China, COVID-19 could adversely affect our business.

Neither we nor Trans Pacific owns any portionbusiness and financial results for the remaining months of the equity interests of Sino-China. Instead, we and Trans Pacific rely on contractual obligations to enforce our interest in receiving payments from Sino-China. Conflicts of interest may arise between Sino-China’s shareholders and our company if, for example, their interests in receiving dividends from Sino-China were to conflict with our interest requiring Sino-China to make contractually-obligated payments to Trans Pacific.year 2021. As a result, we have required Sino-Chinathere is a possibility that the Company’s revenues and each of its shareholders to execute irrevocable powers of attorney to appoint the individual designated by us to be his attorney-in-fact to vote on their behalf on all matters requiring shareholder approval by Sino-China and to require Sino-China’s compliance with the terms of its contractual obligations. We cannot assure you, however, that when conflicts of interest arise, Sino-China’s shareholders will act completely in our interests or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in our favor. In addition, Sino-China’s shareholders could violate their agreements with us by diverting business opportunities from us to others. If we cannot resolve any conflicts of interest between us and Sino-China’s shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in the disruption of our business. In addition, these contractual relationships are governed by PRC law, which may result in uncertainty as to application and enforcement.

We rely on dividends paid by our subsidiary for our cash needs.

We rely on dividends paid by Trans Pacific for our cash needs, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions, if any, to our shareholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. The payment of dividends by entities organized in China is subject to limitations. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Our subsidiary in China is also required to set aside a portion of their after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to reserve fund and other funds required by PRC law. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of Renminbi (“RMB”) into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of China. We may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency. Pursuant to the PRC enterprise income tax law and its implementation rules that were effective on January 1, 2008, dividends payable by a foreign investment entity to its foreign investors are subject to a withholding tax of up to 10%. Meanwhile, the United States and China are signatories to the 1984 People’s Republic of China-United States Income Tax Agreement, which would allow our company to claim a deemed-paid credit, which is an indirect tax credit, on any taxes paid to China by Trans Pacific. To the extent we were not eligible to receive or were unable to use the credit, this tax could have an adverse effect on our company.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

In the course of providing services for international shipments, we occasionally require currencies from other countries to conduct our business. While we believe that we have complied with applicable currency control laws and regulations in all material aspects, we cannot guarantee you that our efforts will be free from challenge or that, if challenged, we will be successful in our defense of our current practices. Under our current corporate structure, our income is paid in different currencies, depending on our agreements with individual customers. We then pay in local currencies the expenses associated with operating a company in several countries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict our ability to pay such expenses unless and until we convert currencies that we have into those that we require.

One of the currencies we often convert among is the RMB. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends, if any, in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

Fluctuation in the value of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy has resulted in an appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. While the international reaction to the RMB revaluation has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. We rely largely on payments from Trans Pacific and Sino-China. While we charge our fees in U.S. dollars, Sino-China and Trans Pacific nevertheless operate within China and will rely heavily on RMB in their operations. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, our common stock in U.S. dollars. For example, an appreciation of RMB against the U.S. dollar would make any new RMB denominated investments or expenditures more costly to us, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMBmay be significantly lower than expected for such purposes.

Changes in China’s political and economic policies could harm our business.

China’s economy has historically been a planned economy subject to governmental plans and quotas and has, in certain aspects, been transitioning to a more market-oriented economy. Although we believe that the economic reform and the macroeconomic measures adopted by the Chinese government have had a positive effect on the economic development of China, we cannot predict the future direction of these economic reforms or the effects these measures may have on our business, financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Chinese economy differs from the economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD. These differences include:fiscal year 2021.

·RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING economic structure;

· level of government involvement in the economy;

· level of development;

· level of capital reinvestment;

· control of foreign exchange;

· methods of allocating resources; and

· balance of payments position.

As a result of these differences,Since our business may not develop in the same way or at the same rate as might be expected if the Chinese economy were similar to those of the OECD member countries.

Since 1979, the Chinese governmentmanagement has promulgated many new laws and regulations covering general economic matters. Despite this activity to develop a legal system, China’s system of laws is not yet complete. Even where adequate law exists in China, enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing law may be uncertain or sporadic, and it may be difficult to obtain swift and equitable enforcement or to obtain enforcement of a judgment by a court of another jurisdiction. The relative inexperience of China’s judiciary, in many cases, creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. In addition, interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political changes. Our activities in China will also be subject to administration review and approval by various national and local agencies of China’s government. Because of the changes occurring in China’s legal and regulatory structure, we may not be able to secure the requisite governmental approval for our activities. Although we have obtained all required governmental approval to operate our business as currently conducted, to the extent we are unable to obtain or maintain required governmental approvals, the Chinese government may, in its sole discretion, prohibit us from conducting our business.”

The Chinese government could change its policies toward private enterprise or even nationalize or expropriate private enterprises, which could result in the total loss of our investment in that country.

Our business is subject to significant political and economic uncertainties and may be adversely affected by political, economic and social developments in China. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has pursued economic reform policies including the encouragement of private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. The Chinese government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time with little, if any, prior notice.

Changes in policies, laws and regulations or in their interpretation or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, restrictions or prohibitions on dividend payments to shareholders, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business. Nationalization or expropriation could even result in the total loss of our investment in China and in the total loss of your investment in us.

As most of our officers, directors and assets are outside the United States, it will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against us and our officers, directors and assets based in China.

Most of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. In addition, the majority of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to effect service of process within the United States upon most, if not all, of our directors or officers and our subsidiaries, or enforce against any of them court judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments relating to United States federal securities laws. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets are located in China and PRC does not have treaties with the United States or many other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgment of courts, it would also be extremely difficult to access those assets to satisfy an award entered against us in United States court.

Our international operations require us to comply with a number of U.S. regulations.

In addition to the Chinese laws and regulations with which we must comply, we must also comply with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), which prohibits U.S. companies or their agents and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official for the purposes of influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage. Any failure by us to adopt appropriate compliance procedures and ensure that our employees and agents comply with the FCPA and applicable laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial penalties and/or restrictions in our ability to conduct business in certain foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, entities and individuals based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals. As a result, we are restricted from entering into transactions with certain targeted foreign countries, entities, and individuals except as permitted by OFAC, which could reduce our future growth.

It is possible that the netthese proceeds will be used by usinvested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results and cash flow.

You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of [_________] shares of common stock in this offering, and based on a public offering price of $[___] per share and a net tangible book value per share of our common stock of $0.88 as of June 30, 2014, if you purchase securities in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $[____] per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock purchased. See “Dilution” on page 19 for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in connection with this offering.

We currently have a sporadic, illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, and the market for our common stock is and may remain sporadic, illiquid and volatile in the future.

We currently have a sporadic, illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, which market is anticipated to remain sporadic, illiquid and volatile in the future. Factors that could affect our stock price or result in fluctuations in the market price or trading volume of our common stock include: 

Our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance or our actual value. The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. Additionally, general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Due to the limited volume of our shares which trade, we believe that our stock prices (bid, ask and closing prices) may not be related to our actual value, and not reflect the actual value of our common stock. Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in us.

An active liquid trading market for our common stock may not develop in the future.

Our common stock currently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market, although our common stock’s trading volume is low. Liquid and active trading markets usually result in less price volatility and more efficiency in carrying out investors’ purchase and sale orders. However, our common stock may continue to have limited trading volume, and many investors may not be interested in owning our common stock because of the inability to acquire or sell a substantial block of our common stock at one time. Such illiquidity could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, a shareholder may not be able to borrow funds using our common stock as collateral because lenders may be unwilling to accept the pledge of securities having such a limited market. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our common stock will develop or, if one develops, be sustained.

Because we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

As a public company with listed equity securities, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ, Capital Market, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations occupies a significant amount of the time of our Board of Directors and management and will significantly increaseincreases our costs and expenses. Among other things, we must:

Future sales of our common stock, whether by us or our stockholders, could cause our stock price to decline.

If we sell, or the public market perceives we may sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly. Pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-194211, which the SEC declared effective on April 15, 2014), we have the right to sell, subject to certain limitations, in one or more offerings to the public, up to $8,860,000 of a variety of our securities, including shares of our common stock. Additionally, if our existing shareholdersstockholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our stockholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might significantly impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. In addition, the issuance and sale by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, or the perception that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading price for our common stock as well as make future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants could further dilute the holdings of our then existing stockholders.

Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock’s market price.stock.

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts.analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If no independent securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively impacted. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

The shares of our common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If we fail to meet the NASDAQ Capital Market’s continued listing requirements and other NASDAQ rules, we may risk delisting. Delisting could negatively affect the market price of our common stock, which could make it more difficult for us to sell our securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock you purchase in this offering.

The shares of our common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and we are required to meet the continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market and other NASDAQ rules, including those regarding director independence and independent committee requirements, minimum shareholders’ equity, minimum share price and certain other corporate governance requirements. In particular, we are required to maintain a minimum bid price for our listed common stock of $1.00 per share and a minimum of $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity. If we do not meet these continued listing requirements, our common stock could be delisted. Delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our common stock on other markets or exchanges, or on the “pink sheets.” In such case, our shareholders’ ability to trade, or obtain quotations of the market value of our common stock would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of our common stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock, including our shares that you purchase in this Offering, if delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market in the future, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service, the over-the-counter markets or the pink sheets. Delisting from the NASDAQ Capital Market, or even the issuance of a notice of potential delisting, would also result in negative publicity, make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, decrease securities analysts’ coverage of us, if any at such time, or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In November 2012, we received a notification letter from NASDAQ indicating that for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 our shareholders’ equity was below NASDAQ’s $2.5 million minimum continued listing requirement. As a result of the sale by us in April 2013, as approved by our Board of Directors and shareholders, of 1,800,000 shares of our common stock for approximately $3 million to Mr. Zhang, we returned to compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. If, however, in the future we fail to meet such and/or any other NASDAQ continued listing requirement, we may risk delisting.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other offering or other transactions at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investorspurchasers in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

We are obligated to developThere has been and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determinedcontinue to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

Each year we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting and, if we cease to be a “smaller reporting company,” a statement that our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion on our internal control over financial reporting. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidencesignificant volatility in the accuracyvolume and completeness of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
