NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Founded in the United States (the “U.S.”) in 2001, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (“Sino-Global” or the “Company”), is a global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider. The Company provides tailored solutions and value-added services to its customers to drive efficiency and control in related steps throughout the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and the U.S. where a majority of the Company’s clients are located.

 

The Company operates in three operating segments including (1) shipping agency and management services, which are operated by its subsidiary in the U.S.; (2) freight logistics services, which are operated by its subsidiary in the PRC; (3) container trucking services, which are operated by its subsidiary in the U.S.

 

The Company continues to focus back on shipping agency and management business for fiscal year 2021, as current trade dynamics and the COVID-19 outbreak have negatively impacted shipping carrier clients with higher their cost to move cargo into U.S. ports. The shipping agency industry in China has improved and the number of shipping agencies overall the country has decreased, due to both price and the inability of competitors to embrace technology as a resource in serving client needs.

 

 On November 6, 2019, the Company signed a revised cooperation agreement with Mr. Weijun Qin to restructure their equity interest in State Priests. Given that State Priests failed to timely obtain the necessary approval from related authorities, Mr. Weijun Qin agreed to exchange 80% equity interest in Sea Continent Management Ltd. (“Sea Continent”), another New York entity Mr. Qin owns for the Company’s 90% equity interest in State Priests. The equity transfer has been consummated. There has been no capital injection nor operations of State Priests and Sea Continent, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized in the transaction. Sea Continent already has the Certificate but has no operations as of September 30, 2020.

 

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with Mr. Shanming Liang, a shareholder of the Company, to set up a joint venture in New York named LSM Trading Ltd., in which the Company holds a 40% equity interest. No investment has been made by the Company as of the date of this report. The new joint venture will facilitate the purchase agricultural related commodities in the U.S. for customers in China and the Company will provide comprehensive supply chain and logistics solutions.

 

On April 6, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Kelin Wu (the “Seller”) and Mandarine Ocean Ltd, a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands (“Hanyang Shipping”), to acquire 75% of the capital stock of Hanyang Shipping held by the Seller for an aggregate consideration of up to $3.75 million to be paid in cash and the Company’s restricted shares of common stock. On June 17, 2020, the Company and Mr. Wu entered into the First Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement (the “Amendment”) to amend the purchase price to an aggregate consideration of up to $1.5 million and the Company’s restricted shares.

 

On September 3, 2020, the Company and Mr. Wu signed a Termination Agreement to terminate the Amendment mutually. Neither party will owe the other party any termination penalty in connection with the Termination Agreement.

 

After the close of the stock market on July 7, 2020, the Company effected a l-for-5 reverse stock split of its common stock in order to satisfy continued listing requirements of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders and was intended to allow the company to meet the minimum share price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result all common stock share amounts included in this filing have been retroactively reduced by a factor of five, and all common stock per share amounts have been increased by a factor of five. Amounts affected include common stock outstanding, including those that have resulted from the stock options, and warrants that convert to common stock.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020 in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic and has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China and the U.S. for the past few months. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations and its workforce are concentrated in China and the U.S., the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely affected for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for the Company to estimate the impact on the business or operating results that might be adversely affected by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19.

 

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 the subsidiaries and VIEs. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd., a PRC corporation (“Sino-China”), is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), with the Company as the primary beneficiary. The Company, through Trans Pacific Shipping Ltd., entered into certain agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the benefit of the Company. The Company does not receive any payment from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle the Company to any consideration if Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required to absorb such net loss.

 

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

 

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. The agency relationship between the Company and Sino-China and its branches is governed by a series of contractual arrangements pursuant to which the Company has substantial control over Sino-China. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company remains the primary beneficiary of Sino-China.

 

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

 

   September 30,   June 30, 
   2020   2020 
Current assets:        
Cash  $5,075   $5,022 
Total current assets   5,075    5,022 
           
Deposits   1,673    1,608 
Property and equipment, net   39,319    41,171 
Total assets  $46,067   $47,801 
           
Current liabilities:          
Other payables and accrued liabilities  $41,534   $39,919 
Total liabilities  $41,534   $39,919

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock based compensation, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment loss, deferred income taxes, income tax expense and the useful lives of property and equipment. The inputs into the Company’s judgments and estimates consider the economic implications of COVID-19 on the Company’s critical and significant accounting estimates. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d) Translation of Foreign Currency

 

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”) while its subsidiaries in the PRC, including Sino-China, Trans Pacific Shipping Ltd. and Trans Pacific Logistic Shanghai Ltd. report their financial positions and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Australia Pty Ltd., reports its financial positions and results of operations in Australian dollar (“AUD”), its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong reports its financial positions and results of operations in Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) and its subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping Canada, Inc. reports its financial positions and results of operations in Canadian Dollar (“CAD”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in USD. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the balance sheets’ dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity of the Company, and also included in non-controlling interests.

(e) Cash

 

Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in bank which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong, Canada and the U.S. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $69,260 and $97,836, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in the PRC. Nil and $8,780 of these balances are not covered by insurance as the deposit insurance system in China only insured each depositor at one bank for a maximum of approximately $70,000 (RMB 500,000). As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $940,193 and $25,739, respectively, were maintained at U.S. financial institutions, $684,272 and nil, respectively, of these balances are uninsured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as it only insured deposits up to $250,000. The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD 500,000 (approximately $64,000) if the bank with which an individual/a company holds its eligible deposit fails. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $1,944 and $2,029, respectively, were maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong and were insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board. As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, cash balances of $943 and $1,116, respectively, were maintained at Australia financial institutions, and were insured as the Australian government guarantees deposits up to AUD 250,000 (approximately $172,000). As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, amount of deposits the Company had covered by insurance amounted to $328,068 and $117,940, respectively.

 

(f) Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual receivable balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are generally considered past due after 180 days. The Company reserves 25%-50% of the customers balance aged between 181 days to 1 year, 50%-100% of the customers balance over 1 year and 100% of the customers balance over 2 years. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. As the Company has focused its development in the shipping management segment, its customer base will be more from smaller privately owned companies that will pay more timely than state owned companies. The Company also considers the economic implications of COVID-19 on its estimates of the allowance and made additional $30,757 and $1,023,931 of allowance for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company recovered $2,404 and $99,366 of accounts receivable for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Other receivables represent mainly customer advances, prepaid employee insurance and welfare benefits, which will be subsequently deducted from the employee payroll, guarantee deposits on behalf of ship owners as well as office lease deposits. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. Other receivables are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. The Company recovered $5,106,085 of allowance for doubtful accounts for the three months ended September 30, 2020. There was no recovery for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, $1,763 was written off against other receivables, respectively. There was no write off for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

(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:

 

Buildings 20 years
Motor vehicles 3-10 years
Computer and office equipment 1-5 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-5 years
System software 5 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful lives

 

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired by the Company when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, an impairment of nil and $127,177 were recorded, respectively.

 

(h) Intangible Assets, net

 

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Logistics platform 3 years

 

The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, an impairment of nil and $200,455 were recorded, respectively.

 

(i) Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

The Company uses a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

 

The Company continues to derive its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being recognized upon performance of services. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via sales contract and invoice; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the sales contract and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. The Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied.

 

9

 

 

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.

  

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding contracts amounting to approximately $0.9 million, all of which is expected to be completed within 3 months from September 30, 2020.

 

The Company’s disaggregated revenue streams are described as follows:

 

   For the Three Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2020   2019 
Shipping and management agency services  $206,845   $500,000 
Freight logistics services   929,954    1,242,142 
Container trucking services   -    44,084 
Total  $1,136,799   $1,786,226 

  

  Revenues from shipping and management agency services are recognized upon completion of services, which coincides with the date of departure of the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as deferred revenue.

 

 

Revenues from freight logistics services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

 

For certain freight logistics contracts that the Company entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company (i) acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and (ii) does not control the services rendered to the customers, revenues related to this contracts are presented net of related costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross revenue and gross cost of revenue related to these contracts amounted to approximately $9.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. There was no such transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

  Revenues from container trucking services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

  

Disaggregated information of revenues by geographic locations are as follows:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2020   2019 
PRC  $929,954   $1,242,142 
U.S.   206,845    544,084 
Total revenues  $1,136,799   $1,786,226 

 

(j) 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.

 

10

 

 

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

 

Income tax returns for the years prior to 2017 are no longer subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities.

  

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

 

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under the PRC Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“PRC GAAP”) at 25%. Sino-China and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC.

 

PRC Value Added Taxes and Surcharges

 

The Company is subject to value added tax (“VAT”). Revenue from services provided by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and affiliates, including Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to VAT at rates ranging from 9% to 13%. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified VAT paid to suppliers against their VAT liability. Net VAT liability is recorded in taxes payable on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

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

 

(k) Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock of the Company were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, 51,882 of incremental shares for the Company’s warrants were included in the computation of diluted EPS. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 there was no dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock of the Company.

 

(l) 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.

 

(m) 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.

 

11

 

 

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.

  

(n) Risks and Uncertainties

  

The Company’s business, financial position and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, health and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, health and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of the Company’s business operations and the workforce are concentrated in China and United States, the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition have been adversely affected for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for the Company to estimate the impact on the business or operating results that might be adversely affected by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19.

 

(o) Liquidity

 

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s working capital deficit was approximately $3.6 million and the Company had cash of approximately $1.0 million. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. The Company’s ability to fulfill its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets and the future revenues generated from its operations.

 

Management believes that the Company will require a minimum of approximately $1.6 million cash over the next twelve months to operate at our current level, either from revenues or funding. Based on our current revenue and expense projection, the Company believes it will generate at least the same amount of revenue in the coming year compared to the current year as the Company and the market are both recovering from the impact of the pandemic. In addition, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock in November 2020. The aggregate proceeds was approximately $1.4 million. If the Company’s revenue does not achieve its expected level, the Company will also be implementing cost saving measures to reduce its operating cash outflow.

 

12

 

 

The Company expects to realize the balance of its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, the Company had considered supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

  the Company will continuously seek equity financing to support its working capital; On September 17, 2020, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares at a per share purchase price of $1.46 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. The full amount of proceeds have been received. On November 2 and November 3, 2020, the Company entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock at a per share purchase price of $1.66 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.43 million. The Company has received the full amount of payment in November 2020.
     
  other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions; and
     
  financial support and credit guarantee commitments from the Company’s shareholders and directors.

 

Based on the above considerations, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet the Company’s future liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management has considered whether there is a going concern issue due to the Company’s continuing losses. Based upon the continuing equity financing from investors and credit guarantee support from its shareholders to provide the necessary funds to the Company to continue its operations should the need arise, the management of the Company believes that it has alleviated the going concern issue. 

 

p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Pronouncements adopted

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2020 and the adoption has no significant impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

 

Pronouncements not yet adopted

  

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on July 1, 2023 assuming the Company will remain eligible to be smaller reporting company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

13

 

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2021. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

 In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”. The amendments in this Update to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity that elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period should reflect any adjustments as of the beginning of the annual period that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-08 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning July 1, 2021. Early application is not permitted. All entities should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. These amendments do not change the effective dates for Update 2017-08. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

* As of September 30, 2020, the Company entered into certain contracts with customers (state-owned entities) where the Company’s services included freight costs and cost of commodities to be shipped to customers’ designated locations. The Company prepaid the costs of commodities and recognized as advance payments on behalf of its customers. These advance payments on behalf of the customers will be repaid to the Company when either the contract terms are expired or the contracts are terminated by the Company. As aforementioned customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts, they required additional time to pay. Due to significant uncertainty on whether the delayed contracts will be executed timely. The management reassessed the collectability of such advance payments and decided to recover of approximately $5.1 million of allowance for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

On May 11, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $124,570 under the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after eight weeks (or an extended 24-week covered period) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The loan forgiveness amount will be reduced for any Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) advance that the Company receives. The amount of loan forgiveness will be further reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eight-week period. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan and intends to file for loan forgiveness before December 2020, there can be no assurance that the full amount of the loan will be forgiven. As of September 30, 2020, $124,570 of loan payable remains outstanding.

In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the SBA loans primarily for working capital to alleviate economic injury caused by disaster occurring in the month of January 31, 2020 and continuing thereafter. The SBA loans are scheduled to mature on May 22, 2050 and have a 3.75% interest rate and are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA under the CARES Act.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s cumulative NOL amounted to approximately $7,005,000 which may reduce future federal taxable income, of which approximately $1,400,000 will expire in 2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely.

 

The Company’s operations in China incurred a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,961,000 as of June 30, 2020 which may reduce future taxable income.

The Company provided a 100% allowance for its DTA as of September 30, 2020. The net decrease in valuation for the three months ended September 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $1,031,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of the Company’s deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

Nasdaq’s letter provides the Company 45 calendar days, or until November 30, 2020, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, the Company can be granted up to 180 calendar days from October 15, 2020 to evidence compliance. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1) or that its plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. The Company is currently evaluating its available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum stockholder equity requirement.

 

On October 23, 2020, the Company deregistered Longhe Ship Management (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (“LSM”) which is 100% own by Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Ltd. (Hong Kong). LSM has not been in operation or carried on business after June 30, 2018. The result of operations of LSM was immaterial for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

On November 2 and November 3, 2020, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 860,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), each convertible into one share of common stock, no par value, of Company (“Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and considerations set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,032,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Offering”).

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

  

The following discussion and analysis of our company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in the report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

 

Overview

   

Sino-Global has focused on providing customers with customized shipping agency and freight logistic services but has since begun looking aggressively at diversifying its revenue and service mix by seeking new growth opportunities to expand its business due to increased margin compression. These opportunities have ranged from complementary businesses to other service and product initiatives. In fiscal year of 2021, while we continue to provide our current traditional logistics business, we will integrate the traditional business with modern technology to develop a brand-new business model.

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) starting from late January 2020 in the PRC has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the continually expanding of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and United States, our business, results of operations, and financial condition are still adversely affected. The situation remains highly uncertain for any further outbreak or resurgence of the COVID-19. It is therefore difficult for us to estimate the impact on our business or operating results that might be adversely affected by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19.

 

The impacts of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, and results of operations include but are not limited to, the following:

 

  Due to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases, our U.S. office remains closed since March, 2020 and our employees have been working remotely from home. Our office closure and limited activity had caused business interruption which led to a slower growth for our operations.

  

  Our customers have been negatively impacted by the pandemic, which continue to reduce demand for the shipping agency and management as well as freight logistics services in fiscal year 2021. As a result, our revenue, gross profit and net income have been continually impacted in fiscal year 2021. Our revenue and gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were down by approximately $0.6 million, or 36.4%, and $1.1 million, or 96.2%, respectively.

 

  Our suppliers have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, which may continually impact our cost of freight, or result in higher cost of revenue, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results in coming months.

 

On April 6, 2020, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Original SPA”) with Mr. Kelin Wu, a PRC investor (the “Seller”) and Mandarine Ocean Ltd (“Hanyang Shipping”), a shipping company registered in the Marshall Islands, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase 75% of the equity of Hanyang Shipping from the Seller for a purchase price of up to $3,750,000, payable in cash equivalent and/or our restricted shares of common stock, subject to completion of a third-party valuation of Hanyang Shipping. On June 17, 2020, we entered into an amended share purchase agreement (the “Amendment”) with the Seller to acquire 75% of the capital stock of Hanyang Shipping held by the Seller for an aggregate consideration of up to $1.5 million to be paid in cash and the our restricted shares. On September 3, 2020, we and the Seller signed a Termination Agreement to terminate the Amendment mutually. Neither party will owe the other party any termination penalty in connection with the Termination Agreement.

Company Structure

 

The Company, founded in 2001, is a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solutions provider. We provide tailored solutions and value-added services for our customers to drive efficiency and control in related steps throughout the entire shipping and freight logistics chain. We conduct our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (including Hong Kong) and the U.S., where a majority of our clients are located.

 

We operate in three operating segments, including (1) shipping agency and management services, operated by our subsidiary in the U.S.; (2) freight logistics services, operated by our subsidiaries in the PRC; and (3) container trucking services, operated by our subsidiaries in the U.S.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

 

Revenues

 

Revenues decreased by $649,427, or approximately 36.4%, from $1,786,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,136,799 for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the loss of revenue from several customer contracts for our shipping management services and freight logistics services segments and no revenue generated from our container trucking services during the period. One of our shipping management services contracts we entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 expired during the quarter and the performance of certain freight logistics services contacts, which we acted as an agent and used net basis to account revenue, was delayed as our customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts, and as a result, we did not generate any revenue from these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease was also due to the decrease in revenues from container trucking services as our service contracts with customers had expired and there was no new business for this segment partly because of the stalled trade negotiations between the U.S. and China.

Revenues

 

(1) Shipping Agency and Management Services

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, shipping agency and management services generated revenues of $206,845 and $500,000, respectively, representing an approximately 58.6% decrease in revenues. The decrease in this segment was because the shipping management services agreement we entered with Qingdao Lizhou Ship Management Co., Ltd. starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 expired on June 30, 2020 and was not renewed due to the uncertainty of the shipping management market which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in revenue from shipping agency services as we entered into a general shipping agency service agreement with Mandarine Bulk as the sole general shipping agency in the fourth quarter of fiscal year of 2020. Our integrated services included arranging and coordinating ship maintenance and inspection, repairs, and other services. With Sea Continent, our 80% owned joint venture, we expect to perform more services such as ship insurance, crew recruitment, training and supply and ship spare parts sales. Due to the current situation of COVID-19, any plans on the operation of Sea Continent have been postponed. Our gross margin decreased to approximately 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from approximately 80.8% for the same period in 2019. The decrease was mainly because of the increase in the cost of revenue for shipping agency segment which included service fees from subcontractors representing a much higher costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 than that in the same period of 2019 in which we provided shipping management service utilizing our operational staffs.

  

(2) Revenues from Freight Logistics Services

 

Freight logistics services primarily consist of cargo forwarding, brokerage and other freight services. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, revenues decreased by $312,188 or approximately 25.1%. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that performance of certain freight logistic contracts we entered into with customers starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 was delayed as our customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and required additional time to execute existing contracts and as a result, we did not generate any revenue from these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For those contracts, we acted as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider and did not control the services rendered to the customer. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross revenue and gross cost of revenue related to these contracts amounted to approximately $9.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively. However, as we only acted as an agent, our revenues on these contacts were accounted for on a net basis. For all the freight logistics services that we provided to our clients for the three months ended September 30, 2020, we acted as principal and controlled the freight logistics services.

 

Our gross profit margin decreased by approximately 54.6% from approximately 55.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to approximately 1.3% for the same period in 2020. The decrease in gross margin was due to the following factors: 1) we control the freight logistics services provided which usually have a lower margins than those aforementioned freight logistic contracts where we acted as agents; 2) the cost of revenues for our PRC domestic and export services were higher for the three months ended September 30, 2020 than the same period in 2019 because of the uncertainty of the freight logistics export market and the fact that our freight carriers have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in other countries.

  

(3) Revenues from Container Trucking Services

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, revenues generated from container trucking services were nil and $44,084, respectively. Overall revenues from this segment decreased by $44,084 or 100.0%. The decrease in revenues from this segment was primarily due to expiration of container trucking services contracts with our customers as the pending trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. The related gross profit decreased by $4,186 from $4,186 gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2019 to nil for the same period in 2020. We do not expect an increase in revenue from this segment in the foreseeable future due to the current U.S.-China trade dynamics. However, we plan to continue to provide services on an as needed basis on short-term contracts.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Operating costs and expenses decreased by $6,756,448 or approximately 191.1%, from an expenses of $3,536,306 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to an income of $3,220,142 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in provision for doubtful accounts as discussed below.

The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated:

  

   For the Three Months Ended September 30,

Total costs and expenses (income)   (3,220,142)   (283.2)%   3,536,306    198.0%   (6,756,448)   (191.1)%

  

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues consisted primarily of freight costs to various freight carriers, cost of labor, other overhead and sundry costs. Cost of revenues was $1,095,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $411,822, or approximately 60.3%, as compared to $683,404 for the same period in 2019. The overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues increased from approximately 38.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, to approximately 96.3% for the same period in 2020. The increase of costs was mainly due to the fact that the costs of our PRC domestic and export services to our freight carriers were higher for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 as our freight carriers have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic so the unit price our freight carriers charged us for domestic logistics services was increased. In addition, for certain export contracts that were delayed by the pandemic in fiscal year 2020, the Company incurred higher costs to reschedule and fulfil those orders in the first quarter of 2021. Starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal year of 2020, we began to provide shipping agency service agreement for Mandarine Bulk as the sole general shipping agency. The increase of costs was also because we just started shipping agency service, and the costs for shipping agency which included service fees from subcontractors were higher in 2020 than that in 2019 in which we provided shipping management service utilizing our operational staffs.

 

Selling Expenses

 

Our selling expenses consisted primarily of salaries and travel expenses for our sales representatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, 2020, we had $68,930 of selling expenses, as compared to $130,029 for the same period in 2019, which represents a decrease of $61,099 or approximately 47.0%. The decrease was mainly due to approximately $61,000 decrease in salaries and travel expenses as we have less employees and limited activities for our selling team under COVID-19 comparing to the same period of 2019.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, travel expenses for administration department, office expenses, regulatory filing and professional service fees including audit, legal and IT consulting. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had $703,434 of general and administrative expenses, as compared to $1,091,455 for the same period in 2019, representing a decrease of $388,021, or approximately 35.6%. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in IT expenses of approximately $108,000, the decrease in depreciation expense of approximately $74,000 as some of our fixed assets have been fully depreciated and the decrease in salaries and travel expenses of approximately $206,000 due to we have less employees and limited activity under COVID-19 comparing to the same period of 2019. 

 

Impairment loss of fixed assets and intangible asset

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $327,632 of impairment loss of fixed assets and intangible asset due to the continued decrease in revenues generated from the freight logistics services, inland transportation management services and container trucking services segments. There was no such transaction for three months ended September 30, 2020.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts, net of recovery

 

We made $30,757 provision for doubtful accounts and offset by the recoveries of accounts receivable of $2,404, other receivable of $5,106,085 and other receivable - related party of $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1,025,694 provision for doubtful accounts and offset by the recoveries of accounts receivable of $99,366 and other receivable - related party of $37,250 for the same period in 2019, an decrease of $5,976,810, or approximately 672.2%. This decrease of provision for doubtful accounts was mainly because we recovered of approximately $5.1 million of allowance based on the management’s reassessment of collectability.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation was nil for the three months ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of $414,708 or 100.0%, as compared to $414,708 for the same period in 2019. Stock-based compensation decreased significantly from the three months ended September 30, 2019 to the same period in 2020 due to no stock award was granted as a result of the decline in revenue.

  

Operating income (loss)

 

We had an operating income of $4,356,941 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to an operating loss of $1,750,080 for the same period in 2019. Such change was the result of the combination of the changes discussed above.

 

Taxation

 

We recorded no income tax expense for both three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

We have incurred a cumulative U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) of approximately $6,456,000 as of June 30, 2020, which may reduce future federal taxable income. The NOL generated prior to the year ended June 30, 2017 amounted to approximately $1,400,000 will expire in 2037 and the remaining balance carried forward indefinitely. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $549,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $115,000.

 

Our operations in China have incurred a cumulative a cumulative NOL of approximately $5,961,000 as of June 30, 2020, which may reduce future taxable income. The NOL amounted to approximately $675,000 start expiring from 2023 and the remaining balance of NOL will be expired by 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately $3,000 of additional NOL was generated and the tax benefit derived from such NOL was approximately $1,000.

 

We periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect our future realization of deferred tax assets including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. We determined that it is more likely than not our deferred tax assets could not be realized due to uncertainty on future earnings as a result of the deterioration of trade negotiation between the U.S. and China. We provided a 100% allowance for its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020. The net decrease in valuation for the three months ended September 30, 2020 amounted to approximately $1,031,000 based on management’s reassessment of the amount of our deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized.

Current Ratio      0.42       0.33        0.09       27.3 %

 

In assessing the liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2020, our working capital deficit was approximately $3.6 million and we had cash of approximately $1.0 million. We plan to fund continuing operations through identifying new prospective joint venture partners and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, and by reducing costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. We believe our ability to repay our current obligations will depend on the future realization of our current assets and the future operating revenues generated from our operations.

 

32

 

 

We believe that we will require a minimum of approximately $1.6 million cash over the next twelve months to operate at our current level, either from revenues or funding. Based on our current revenue and expense projection, we believe we will generate at least the same amount of revenue in the coming year compared to the current year as we and the market are both recovering from the impact of the pandemic. In addition, we entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock in November 2020. The aggregate proceeds was approximately $1.4 million. If our revenue does not achieve our expected level, we will also be implementing cost saving measures to reduce its operating cash outflow.

 

We expect to realize the balance of our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period. If we are unable to realize our current assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve month period, we may have to consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

  we will continuously seek equity financing to support our working capital. On September 17, 2020, we entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 720,000 Shares at a per share purchase price of $1.46 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.05 million. The full amount of proceeds have been received. On November 2 and November 3, 2020, we entered into certain securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. Persons to purchase 860,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock at a per share purchase price of $1.66 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.43 million. The Company has received the full amount of payment in November 2020.

  

  other available sources of financing from small business administration, PRC banks and other financial institutions; and

 

  financial support and credit guarantee commitments from our shareholders and directors.

 

Based on the above considerations, we are of the opinion that we has sufficient funds to meet our future liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from the date of this report. We have considered whether there is a going concern issue due to our continuing losses. Based upon the continuing equity financing from investors and credit guarantee support from its shareholders to provide the necessary funds to us to continue its operations should the need arise, we believe that it has alleviated the going concern issue.

  

Operating Activities 

 

Our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The operating cash outflow for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to our net income of $4.4 million, adjusted by non-cash items of approximately $5.1 million of recovery of provision of doubtful accounts and approximately $0.1 million of depreciation and amortization expenses of fixed assets and intangible asset. We had an increase in other receivables of approximately $0.1 million offset by an increase of approximately $0.2 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as we have more salary and reimbursement payable, and a decrease approximately $0.1 million of due from related parties as a result of collections made during the year.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The operating cash outflow for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to our net loss of approximately $1.7 million, of which approximately $0.4 million of stock compensation expense, approximately $0.3 million of impairment loss of fixed assets and intangible asset and approximately $0.9 million for provision of doubtful accounts were non-cash expenses. We had an increase in other receivables of approximately $5.4 million as we prepaid certain costs of commodities on behalf of our customers, offset by a decrease of approximately $2.2 million in accounts receivable as a result of collections made during the three months.

 

Investing Activities

 

We did not have any investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,538 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, mainly for the purchase of computer equipment. 

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to cash proceeds received from issuance of common stock to a private investor for approximately $1.1 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each fiscal period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, modifies disclosures for investments that are valued based on net asset value, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements. We adopted this ASU on July 1, 2020 and the adoption has no significant impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a whole.

 

There have been no other material changes during the three months ended September 30, 2020 in our significant accounting policies from those previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The discussion of our critical accounting policies are contained in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, “Summary of our Significant Accounting Policies”.    

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

This Item is not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of its management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing evaluation, Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) were not effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to the management, including Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The assessment stemmed from the following material weaknesses –

  

  Lack of segregation of duties for accounting personnel who prepared and reviewed the journal entries;
     
  Lack of resources with technical competency to review and record non-routine or complex transactions; and
     
  Lack of a full time U.S. GAAP personnel in the accounting department to monitor the recording of the transactions.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting   (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
