PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

We are a general shipping agency service provider headquartered in the United States with subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and the mainland China. Our principal geographic market is in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of shipping agency service businesses, we provide shipping agency services in the PRC through our affiliate, Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate shipping services in the PRC. Sino-China is located in Beijing with branches in Qingdao, Qinhuangdao and Fangchenggang and provides general shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC. Through these offices, we are able to coordinate our clients’ shipping needs, including preparing documents, husbanding vessels, working through customs issues, coordinating matters with port authorities, overseeing and settling cargo claims, tracking shipments, recommending trucking, warehousing and complementary services. We provide these services mainly through our well-established local agent network. We also act as a local agent and attend vessels directly in the ports in which we have branch offices.

We have designed our services to simplify the shipping process for our clients and to keep our clients fully informed about the status of their shipments. To that end, we analyze the information about prospective shipments provided by our clients to determine the most economical and efficient transportation solutions and then leverage our position as a shipping agency to negotiate competitive shipping rates. We also give our clients daily disbursement reports to empower them to monitor and dispute all questionable charges. In addition to allowing clients to monitor disbursements, our Disbursement Department audits all bills provided by ports for unreasonable charges that violate the guidelines issued by China’s Ministry of Communications.

We provide shipping agency services to a variety of vessel sizes and types, including Handysize, Panamax, Capesize, Roll-On/Roll-Off RORO, and VLCC class vessels. We assist clients with a variety of shipping requirements, including bulk and break-bulk general cargo, vehicle transport and raw materials such as crude oil and oil products and iron, manganese and other metal ores.

Market Background

Since China adopted its open door trade policy in 1978, inviting foreign investment into China, China’s economy has steadily developed, both from new investments in China and from increased international trade. As international trade between China and other countries has expanded, the shipping industry in China has also grown.

The evolution of the shipping agency industry has followed that of the shipping industry in general. Prior to the 1980s, China’s shipping agency industry was dominated by a single state-owned shipping agency, China Ocean Shipping Agency Co. Limited (Penavico). In 1985, a second shipping state-owned shipping agency, China Marine Shipping Agency Co. Limited (Sinoagent), was permitted to provide shipping agency services to foreign ships discharging a port in China. In 1995, the third largest state-owned shipping agency, China Shipping Agency Co. Ltd (CSA), followed by COSCO Container Shipping Agency Co. Ltd (Cosa) established in 1999.

Since 1985, the PRC has taken a number of steps to open China’s shipping agency industry to private companies. In 1990, the PRC adopted the International Ship Agency Management and Stipulation, which allowed state-owned companies to compete in the shipping agency industry. In 2002, the PRC further relaxed the restrictions on shipping agencies by promulgating the People’s Republic of China International Marine Transportation Rule, which permitted Chinese private entities and joint ventures between Chinese and foreign entities to compete in the shipping agency industry. The Chinese and American Marine Transportation Agreement in 2003 and the New Round Chinese and European Union Marine Transportation Agreement in 2002 allowed shipping transportation enterprises that were wholly owned by American and European Union businesses, respectively, to provide shipping agency service for their parent companies.

We believe that there are over 1,900 licensed shipping agencies in China. At present, the state-owned shipping agency companies, namely Penavico, Sinoagent, CSA and Cosa, still dominate China’s shipping agency industry, combining to generate approximately 85% of the revenues in the industry. The remaining approved shipping agencies in operation share the remaining 15% of revenues in the industry.

We are well positioned between the state-owned agency giants and numerous small agents, becoming the leading non-government owned shipping agency service provider in China. This enables us to have a competitive advantage of applying more flexible strategies for our business development under uncertain economy environment.

Our Strategy

Our goals are to increase our market share in the PRC shipping agency market and to expand our business to related service areas. We believe we can meet these goals by continuing to focus on the high quality of our personnel, the positive relationships we enjoy with local ports, businesses and agencies and the breadth of services we offer to clients. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

• Increase our market share. We believe we have advantages over smaller shipping agencies in terms of infrastructure, administration and services we can offer to clients. As a result, we believe we are able to compete on the basis of service with these smaller agencies. In order to continue to increase our market share in China, we will focus on demonstrating to potential clients that typically use the larger shipping agents that we are able to provide a high level of service. Potential customers in the shipping industry are strongly influenced by formal and informal references. We believe that we have the opportunity to expand our market share by providing high levels of customer satisfaction with our current customers so that they continue to use our services and recommend our shipping agency services to other potential customers that wish to ship to China. We have obtained ISO9000 and UKAS certifications from the International Organization for Standardization and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service, respectively, in recognition of the quality of services we provide. Each of these organizations assesses the effectiveness of quality management systems implemented by companies. The International Organization for Standardization consists of a worldwide federation of national standards bodies for approximately 130 countries, and the ISO9000 certification represents an international consensus of these standards bodies, with the aim of creating global standards of product and service quality. UKAS is the sole national body in the United Kingdom recognized by the government to provide accreditation of conformity assessment bodies. UKAS and ISO9000 certifications address the quality of systems only and do not certify the quality of products or services themselves.

• Develop a shipping agency network in China and internationally. We acknowledge that shipping agency is a productive process related to both a loading port and a discharge port. As such, we believe the most cost effective way to develop our business is to build an international network that covers our clients’ shipping routes from their loading ports to their discharging ports. We have found a number of benefits of being able to develop an international shipping agency network, including the following advantages:

o In addition to our agency services in China, we provide our clients with agency services at the overseas ports where their ships load or discharge goods. From our network, our clients benefit from obtaining control on the shipping process. On the other hand, we are able to generate the revenue from services we perform in the foreign ports and from services referred by the foreign partner agents.

o Some of our customers are large Chinese steel manufacturers and traders that import a significant portion of iron ore from overseas to China. Their needs in overseeing loading activities build up a foundation for us to establish an international shipping agency network.

o We have developed strong relationships with local agents in China, including the largest Chinese local agency networks, Penavico, Sinoagent and CSA. We signed a strategic cooperative agreement with Cosa, which has over 50 offices around ports in China. This ensures that our customers have as many advantages possible in working through any complications;

o We have developed experience in establishing an international network. Since our IPO, we have contributed significant efforts in building up strategic relationships with countries where China imports large volume of mining materials. We opened offices in Australia and Hong Kong. We have signed strategic cooperative agreements with Monson Agency in Australia, Forbes in India, Wilson Sons in Brazil and King Sons in South Africa. Our Hong Kong office also handles loading services in a port in Canada. Along with developing the international agency network, the overseas loading services appear to be the fastest area contributing to our business growth.

• React quickly to opportunities to offer new services to our clients. We believe that our Company is small enough to have close working relationships with our customers. As a result, we believe we encourage our customers to raise any concerns, comments or recommendations for additional services that they would like to see provided with our shipping agency services. We also believe that we are large enough to implement many of these recommendations and strive to offer new services when we feel that the services will benefit our customers.

• Maintain working relationships with third parties in port cities. We currently enjoy good working relationships with a variety of entities that operate in commercial ports, including port authorities, tugboat companies, pilot stations, stevedore companies, customs agencies, shipping agency associations and local government authorities.

Customers

We currently provide shipping agency services to a variety of international vessels. The majority of our customers are large Chinese steel manufacturers, traders and international shipping companies that wish to ship goods to and from China. Our largest customer is Beijing Shourong Forwarding Service Co., Ltd (“Shourong”), an affiliate of Capital Steel, a steel company in China. We provide shipping agency services for all vessels carrying iron ore for Capital Steel. Revenues from this company accounted for approximately 63% and 54% of our revenues in 2013 and 2012, respectively. In line with the restructuring of the Chinese steel industry, our agency contract with Shourong has been under review and we have not provided agency services for its vessels discharging in a Chinese port since July 1, 2013. However, our agency services to Shourong vessels loading at overseas ports continues. We are working with Shourong to sign a new agency agreement. On June 27, 2013, we signed a 5-year global logistic service agreement with TEWOO Chemical & Light Industry Zhiyuan Trade Co., Ltd and TianJin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd (together “Zhiyuan”). We expect to generate major revenues from Zhiyuan for fiscal 2014 and forward.

In addition to these companies, we provide shipping agency services to a variety of shipping companies from Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Hong Kong, Norway, Switzerland, the United States, Singapore, Japan and South Korea. We have provided shipping agencies services for vessels carrying bulk and break-bulk cargoes, raw materials, consumer goods, and vehicles.

Our Strengths

We believe that the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors in China’s shipping agency industry:

• Experience in general shipping agency services. We are one of few shipping agents specialized in providing a full range of general shipping agency services in China. Unlike a local agent who specializes in dealing with procedures when a vessel arrives or departs in a port, a general agent focuses on serving clients’ needs for information about all ports for shipping arrangement, appointing local agents, coordinating the local agent before, in process and after vessel arrival or departure, saving parking time and loading/discharging costs and sometimes taking responsibilities for the vessel’s dispatch or demurrage. A general agent serves a larger client with shipments covering many local ports. We believe that our experience in providing general agency services gives us a competitive advantage in attracting large clients and helps us maintain the client business for longer periods of time once our tenders are successful.

• Strength of personnel and administration. Most of our employees have marine business working experience, and all of our managers/chief operators once served in either Penavico or Sinoagent prior to joining our Company. With these professionals and experienced staff, we believe that we can provide competitive services to our customers.

• Reputation for reliability and responsiveness to customer requests. Our operators are constantly on duty so that we can respond quickly to any customer’s inquiries regardless of any time difference between our customers and us. Our marketing staff also pays regular visits to customers so that we can continually improve our services in response to customer feedback.

• Reputation for financial responsibility. In order to engage in business in China as a shipping agency, we must demonstrate financial responsibility to customers, our business partners, ports and local governmental agencies. We believe our ability to meet our financial obligations has encouraged customers to choose to do business with us and has resulted in the growth of a strong network of service partners in the 76 ports in which we provide shipping agency services.

• Strength of information management system. We consistently collect and update port information from local ports so that we can share current and accurate port information with our clients through our network. Our newly developed management information system is based on SAP B-One software, which enables us to record more accurate and updated commercial and accounting information.

• Quality of services provided to customers. Unlike agencies that provide local agent services in one particular port, we provide our customers with both general agent and local agent services in all of China’s commercial ports. Our general agent services provide our customers with accurate port information, which helps our customers make their way smoothly through loading and discharging cargo. Our local agent services have generally resulted in shorter port stays and faster working rates for our customers’ ships, reducing their overall port charges.

• Positive relationships with third parties in local ports. In local ports, we maintain positive relationships with stevedore companies, pilot stations, towage companies and other local service providers, which helps our customers enjoy faster loading and discharging rates and a smoother berthing and unberthing process.

• Strong network of local shipping agents in ports without branch offices. In addition to having branch offices in five major Chinese commercial ports, we also have a strong network of other shipping agents. Using feedback from customers and our knowledge of the Chinese shipping agency industry, we can compare and select the most competitive agents as our local agents.

Our Challenges

The successful execution of our strategies is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those relating to:

• our limited operating history in general and our recent uncertain profitability;

• limited funds with which to build a nationwide and worldwide port network in China, to recruit and retain quality personnel, to advertise our services and to develop new information technology for use in providing shipping agency services;

• the growth of the shipping agency industry in China and the entrance of new Chinese and foreign competitors into the market;

• our ability to respond to competitive pressures; and

• regulatory environment in China.

Competition

Our ability to be successful in our industry depends on our ability to compete effectively with companies that may be more well-capitalized than we are or may provide shipping agency services we do not or cannot provide to our customers. While China’s shipping agency industry has a variety of small shipping agencies, our primary competitors are Penavico, Sinoagent and CSA. These companies are state-owned in part and much larger than we are and derive significantly more revenue from shipping agency services in China.

• Penavico. Founded in 1953, Penavico is the oldest and largest state-owned shipping agency in China. Beginning in 1955, Penavico took over China’s shipping agency business from the foreign agents that previously did business in China and, until 1985, Penavico was the only shipping agency operating in China. Penavico now has more than 80 local agencies and 300 business networks across China. Penavico maintains offices in America, Europe, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. Penavico’s shipping agency business, bulk ships and container ships currently account for approximately 40% of China’s market.

• Sinoagent. Sinoagent was formed in 1985 as a specialized subsidiary of Sinotrans Limited Company (“Sinotrans”), a company that provides integrated ocean transportation, land transport, airfreight, warehousing, express services, shipping agency and freight forwarding services. Due to its relationship with Sinotrans, Sinoagent is able to provide a seamless, integrated set of services to its customers. Sinoagent is the second largest state-owned shipping agency and has approximately 30% of shipping agency market in China.

• CSA. CSA was established in 1997 and affiliates to China Shipping Group, specializing in shipping agency business for both domestic and international vessels and concurrently in other related business such as cargo agency and customs declaration. With the headquarter in Shanghai, CSA has set up more than 54 subsidiaries in major ports along the national coastline, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River of China. The subsidiaries undertake shipping agency business as well as cargo agency business and customs declaration etc. for both Chinese and foreign vessels navigating among the international lines and the vessels calling HK, Macao, Taiwan areas, and the coastlines and other water areas of China.

We believe that the three shipping agents’ primary strengths include the following:

• the establishment of a complete port network in mainland China;

• the presence of a large base of clients; and

• the availability of funding and financial support from state-owned financial institutions.

Regulations on Foreign Exchange

Foreign Currency Exchange. Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated in 1996, as amended in 2007 and 2008, and various regulations issued by State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), and other relevant PRC government authorities, RMB is freely convertible only to the extent of current account items, such as trade related receipts and payments, interests and dividends. Capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, require prior approval from SAFE or its provincial branch for conversion of RMB into a foreign currency, such as U.S. dollars, and remittance of the foreign currency outside the PRC. Payments for transactions that take place within the PRC must be made in RMB. Unless otherwise approved, PRC companies must repatriate foreign currency payments received from abroad. Foreign-invested enterprises may retain foreign exchange in accounts with designated foreign exchange banks subject to a cap set by SAFE or its local counterpart. Unless otherwise approved, domestic enterprises must convert all of their foreign currency receipts into RMB.

Dividend Distribution. The principal regulations governing divided distributions by wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures include:

• Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law (1986), as amended;

• Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1990), as amended;

• Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law (1979), as amended; and

• Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law Implementing Rules (1983), as amended.

Under these regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises and Sino-foreign equity joint ventures in the PRC may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, these foreign-invested enterprises are required to set aside certain amounts of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

Regulation of foreign exchange in certain onshore and offshore transactions. Under recent notices issued by SAFE, PRC residents are required to register with and receive approvals from SAFE in connection with offshore investment activities. SAFE has stated that the purpose of these notices is to ensure the proper balance of foreign exchange and the standardization of cross-border flow of funds.

In January 2005, SAFE issued a notice stating that SAFE approval is required for any sale or transfer by PRC residents of a PRC company’s assets or equity interests to foreign entities in exchange for the equity interests or assets of the foreign entities. The notice also states that, when registering with the foreign exchange authorities, a PRC company acquired by an offshore company must clarify whether the offshore company is controlled or owned by PRC residents and whether there is any share or asset link between or among the parties to the acquisition transaction.

In April 2005, SAFE issued another notice further explaining and expanding upon the January notice. The April notice clarified that, where a PRC company is acquired by an offshore company in which PRC residents directly or indirectly hold shares, such PRC residents must (i) register with the local SAFE branch regarding their respective ownership interests in the offshore company, even if the transaction occurred prior to the January notice, and (ii) file amendments to such registration concerning any material events of the offshore company, such as changes in share capital and share transfers. The April notice also expanded the statutory definition of the term “foreign acquisition,” making the notices applicable to any transaction that results in PRC residents directly or indirectly holding shares in the offshore company that has an ownership interest in a PRC company. The April notice also provided that failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth therein may result in the imposition of restrictions on the PRC company’s foreign exchange activities and its ability to distribute profits to its offshore parent company.

On October 21, 2005, SAFE issued a new public notice concerning PRC residents’ investments through offshore investment vehicles. This notice took effect on November 1, 2005 and replaces prior SAFE notices on this topic. According to the November 2005 notice:

• any PRC resident that created an off-shore holding company structure prior to the effective date of the November notice must submit a registration form to a local SAFE branch to register his or her ownership interest in the offshore company on or before May 31, 2006;

• any PRC resident that purchases shares in a public offering of a foreign company would also be required to register such shares an notify SAFE of any change of their ownership interest; and

• following the completion of an off-shore financing, any PRC shareholder may transfer proceeds from the financing into China for use within China.

In accordance with the October 2005 notice, on December 12, 2007, Mr. Cao Lei and Mr. Zhang Mingwei obtained appropriate registration from their local SAFE offices.

Overview

We are a shipping agency service provider for ships coming to and departing from Chinese ports. Our company was incorporated in New York in February 2001. On September 18, 2007, we amended the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of our New York corporation to merge into a new Virginia corporation, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd.

Our principal geographic market is in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of shipping agency service businesses, we operate our business in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency, Ltd. (“Sino-China”), a PRC limited liability company wholly owned by our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Cao Lei, and Chief Financial Officer, Zhang Mingwei, both of whom are PRC citizens. Sino-China holds the licenses and permits necessary to provide shipping services in the PRC. Headquartered in Beijing with branches in Qingdao, Qinhuangdao and Fangchenggang, we provide general shipping agency services in all commercial ports in China.

On November 13, 2007, the Company formed a wholly owned foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), which invested in one 90%-owned subsidiary on May 31, 2009, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai”. Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai are referred to collectively as “Trans Pacific”).

Trans Pacific Beijing and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary relationship. Trans Pacific Beijing has contractual arrangements with Sino-China and its shareholders that enable the Company to substantially control Sino-China.

For the purpose of building up an international shipping agency service network, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Australia Pty Ltd. (“Sino-Global AUS”) in Perth, Australia on July 3, 2008, which serves the needs of customers shipping into and out of Western Australia. The Company also signed an agreement with Monson Agencies Australia (“Monson”), one of the largest shipping agency service providers in Australia. Through the Company’s relationship with Monson, the Company is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in Australia.

We established another wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Limited (“Sino-Global HK”) on September 22, 2008. Sino-Global HK is our control and management center for southern Chinese ports and enables our company to extend its offering of comprehensive shipping agency services to vessels going to and from one of the world’s busiest ports. On July 27, 2009, Sino-Global HK signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Forbes & Company Limited (“Forbes”), which is a listed company on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BOM: 502865) and one of the largest shipping and logistic service providers in India. Through our relationship with Forbes, we are able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in India.

We established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Canada Inc. (“Sino-Global Canada”) at the end of 2012, to provide services for ships loading commodities at Canadian ports. Sino-Global Canada has already commenced providing services to Baosteel's vessels in Canada.

The Company established a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. in May 2013, to facilitate the development of an integrated overseas and local shipping agency network to help generate new business referral activities.

On July 5, 2011, Sino-China signed a Strategic Cooperative Agreement with COSCO Container Shipping Agency Co. Limited, one of the largest state-owned shipping agents in China. The Agreement entitles us to use COSCO Container Shipping Agency’s name to market business in China and overseas. In addition, we are able to provide shipping agency services through over 50 COSCO’s offices in China. Currently we are executing this agreement with COSCO.

On October 12, 2011, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with King & Sons Shipping Agency (“King & Sons”), subsidiary of Grindrod Limited, a public company listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE: GNDP) and one of the oldest shipping agents in South Africa. Through the Company’s relationship with King & Sons, it is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in South Africa.

On November 8, 2011, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Wilson Sons Shipping Agency (“Wilson Sons”), the oldest and the leading independent Brazilian ship agent. Through the Company’s relationship with Wilson Sons, it is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in Brazil.

On June 27, 2013, the Company signed a 5-year global logistic service agreement on June 27, 2013 with TEWOO Chemical & Light Industry Zhiyuan Trade Co., Ltd and TianJin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd (together "Zhiyuan"). Under the terms of the agreement, Sino-Global will serve as Zhiyuan's exclusive global logistics service provider in charge of cargo import and export issues.

Revenues

China’s economy has slowed down since the second half of 2012 resulting in reduced volume of iron ore import. The number of ships we served decreased from 477 to 438 for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. In addition, our major customer, Beijing Shourong Forwarding Services Co. Ltd. (“Shourong”), has changed its service arrangement with our Company since January 2013, from the lump sum fix rate discharging agency services to the protective agency services, for its ships discharging at a Chinese port. Because protective services generate much lower agency revenues per ship, our total revenues decreased from $33.88 million down to $17.33 million from the year ended June 30, 2012 to the year ended June 30, 2013.

	For the years ended June 30,
	2013	2012	Diff.	%
Number of ships served
Loading/discharging	161	363	(202)	(55.65)
Protective	277	114	163	142.98
Total	438	477	(39)	(8.18)

The revenues recorded in Sino-China are subject to a 5% business tax as well as an additional 0.5% surcharge after deducting the costs of services. We deduct these business taxes and related surcharges from our gross revenues to arrive at our total revenues.

The Chinese Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation jointly set out the Value Added Tax (VAT) reform plan, which will see the business taxes replaced by VAT commencing from Shanghai on January 1, 2012, and then be extended to all other provinces and autonomies in mainland China. As we recorded most of our revenues outside of China, there is little effect of ongoing VAT reform to our operating results.

In general, we provide two types of shipping agency services, namely loading/discharging services and protective services. For protective agency services, we charge fixed fees while our customers are responsible for the payment of port costs and expenses. For loading/discharging agency services, we receive the total amount from our customers and pay the port charges on our customers’ behalf. Under these circumstances, we charge shipping agency fees in two ways: (1) the lump sum amount is predetermined with a customer, and (2) the cost-plus fees are calculated based on the actual costs incurred plus a markup. We generally require payments in advance from customers and bill them the balances within 30 days after the transactions are completed.

We believe the most significant factors that directly or indirectly affect our shipping agency service revenues are:

¨ the number of ships to which we provide port loading/discharging services;

¨ the size and types of ships we serve;

¨ the type of services we provide, for example loading/discharging, protective, owner’s affairs;

¨ the rate of service fees we charge;

¨ the number of ports at which we provide services; and

¨ the number of customers we serve.

Historically, our services have primarily been driven by the increase in the number of ships and customers, provided that the rate of service fees is determined by market competition. We believe that an increase in the number of ports served generally leads to an increase in the number of ships and customers. We expect that we will continue to earn a substantial majority of our revenues from our shipping agency services. As a result, we plan to continue to focus most of our resources on expanding our business to cover more ports in the PRC and overseas. In addition, we will allocate our resources in marketing our brand to customers, including ship owners and charters, which transport goods from all ports around the world to China. We believe that our diversified focus on loading and discharging cargo in both Chinese and overseas ports will enable us to grow and manage the exchange rate risk associated with the trend of the U.S. dollar’s devaluation against the RMB because our overseas revenues and port charges are normally paid in foreign currencies. To the extent these other foreign currencies devalue against the RMB, of course, we would still face exchange rate risks.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Our operating costs and expenses consist of costs of revenues, general and administrative expenses, selling expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses decreased in absolute amount, but increased as a percentage of total revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods ended June 30, 2012. The following table sets forth the components of our Company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated.

	For the years ended June 30,
	2013		2012		Change
	US$	%	US$	%	US$	%

Revenues	17,331,759	100.00	33,881,248	100.00	(16,549,489)	(48.85)

Costs and expenses
Cost of revenues	15,402,743	88.87	31,184,331	92.04	(15,781,588)	(50.61)

General and administrative expense	3,878,569	22.38	5,236,167	15.45	(1,357,598)	(25.93)
Selling expense	253,987	1.47	385,064	1.14	(131,077)	(34.04)
Total costs and expenses	19,535,299	112.71	36,805,562	108.63	(17,270,263)	(46.92)

Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues represent the expenses incurred in the periods when a ship docks in a harbor to load and discharge cargo. We believe the most significant factors that directly or indirectly affect our costs of revenues are:

¨ the number of ships to which we provide port loading/discharging services;

¨ the size of ships we serve, as large ship requires more towboats to park at harbor;

¨ the nationality of ships we serve, as a foreign ship pays different tonnage taxes;

¨ the complexity of service processing;

¨ the operating condition of a particular port for ships loading or discharging;

¨ the number of days a ship loading or discharging; and

¨ the number of days ships loading or discharging during overtime period and public holidays.

We typically pay the costs of revenues on behalf of our customers for non-protective services. Except for Australia and Canada where our revenues and costs are settled in the local currencies, we receive most revenues from our clients in U.S. dollars and pay most costs of revenues to the local port agents in local currency, for example RMB in China. As such, the costs of revenues will change if the foreign currency exchange rates change.

Our costs of revenues as a percentage of our total revenues decreased from 92.04% for the year ended June 30, 2012 down to 88.87% for the year ended June 30, 2013. Consequently, our gross margin increased from 7.96% for the year ended June 30, 2012 up to 11.13% for the year ended on June 30, 2013. The gross margin increased because we provided protective services to more ships, which had generated higher gross margin compared to loading/discharging services.

	For the years ended June 30,
	2013	2012	Diff.
Revenues ($)	17,331,759	33,881,248	(16,549,489)

Gross margin (%)	11.13	7.96	3.17
Loading/discharging	8.65	7.76	0.89
Protective	77.44	59.97	17.47

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for our staff (both operating and administrative personnel), business promotion, depreciation expenses, office rental expenses and expenses for legal, accounting and other professional services. For the year ended June 30, 2013, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our total revenues increased from 15.45% to 22.38% compared to the year ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to sharply decreased revenues. On the other hand, our general and administrative expenses reduced by $1.36 million, representing a decrease of 25.93% compared to the last fiscal year of 2012.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses primarily consist of commissions and traveling expenses for our operating staff to the ports at which we provide services. Because of the decrease in our revenues, our selling expenses decreased in absolute amount but increased as a percentage of our total net revenues for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to the year ended June 30, 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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.

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

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the value of charges for the services in the ordinary course of our company’s activities and disbursements made on behalf of customers. Revenues are recognized from shipping agency services upon completion of the services, which generally 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 current liabilities.

Some contracts provide that revenues are recognized as a mark up of actual costs incurred. In a situation where the services are completed but the information on the actual expenses is not available at the end of the fiscal year, the Company estimates revenues and costs based on its previous experience for the revenues of the same kind of vessels, port charges on the vessel’s particulars/movement and cost rate of the port. The estimated revenues and costs also incorporate additional costs incurred, such as extra weight taxes because of extended parking time at a harbor, additional tow boats used because of inclement weather, overtime during public holidays, etc. The estimated costs of revenue are based on the cost information provided by the local port and /or the Company’s historical experience of similar transactions.

The Company reports its revenue on the amounts billed to customers based on several criteria: (1) the Company assumes all credit risk for the amounts billed to customers, (2) the Company has multiple suppliers for services ordered by customers and discretion to select the supplier that provides the services, and (3) the Company determines the nature, type or specifications of the services ordered by customers and the Company is responsible for fulfilling these services.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transaction and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-China is considered to be a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and we are the primary beneficiary. Our company through Trans Pacific entered into agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which we receive 90% of Sino-China’s net income. We do not receive any payment from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle us to any consideration if Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. In accordance with the agreements, Sino-China pays consulting and marketing fees equal to 85% and 5%, respectively, of its net income to our new wholly foreign-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific, and Trans Pacific supplies the technology and personnel needed to service Sino-China. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the benefit of our company.

The accounts of Sino-China are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in our total sales, its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with our company’s, and our net income (loss) from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in income (loss) includes all of Sino-China’s net income (loss). Our non-controlling interest in its income (loss) is then subtracted in calculating the net income (loss) attributable to our company. Because of the contractual arrangements, our company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of our and Sino-China’s financial statements.

Accounts Receivable and Advances

Accounts receivable are recognized at net realizable value. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments in the relevant time period. We review the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and record general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, we consider many factors, including the age of the balance, the customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 365 days. Accounts are written off only after exhaustive collection efforts. Because of the worldwide financial crisis, we have experienced difficulties in collecting cash from some of our customers.

We generally obtain advance payment of our shipping agency fees prior to providing service to our clients. This significantly reduces the amount of accounts receivable when the shipping agency fees are recognized. To the extent our estimates are insufficient; we bill our clients for the balance which is expected to be paid within 30 days.

We use advance payments to pay a number of fees on behalf of our clients before their ships arrive in port, including harbor, berthing, mooring/unmooring, tonnage, immigration, quarantine and tug hire fees. We record the amounts we receive as Advances from Customers and the amounts we pay as Advances to Suppliers. We recognize revenues and expenses once the client’s ship leaves the harbor and the client pays any outstanding amounts. In some cases, a delay in receiving bills will require us to estimate the Service Revenues and Costs of Services in accordance with the rate and formulas approved by the Ministry of Communications. When this happens, we record the difference between Service Revenues (as recognized) and Advances from Customers as Accounts Receivable and the difference between Cost of Services and Advances to Suppliers as Accounts Payable. To the extent we recognize revenues and costs in this way, our Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable will reflect this estimation until we receive the bills and information we require to adjust revenues and expenses to reflect our actual Service Revenues and Cost of Services. Any adjustment to actual from the estimated Revenues and Cost of Services recorded has been and is expected to be immaterial.

Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of our company and Sino-China are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, while Trans Pacific and Sino-China report their financial position and results of operations in Renminbi. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars 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. We translate foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Trans Pacific, Sino-Global HK and Sino-Global AUS 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 sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the periods.

Taxation

Because we and Sino-China are incorporated in different jurisdictions, we file separate income tax returns. We are subject to income and capital gains taxes in the United States. Additionally, dividend payments made by our company are subject to withholding tax in the United States.

We follow the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10, we may recognize 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 tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

The implementation of ASC 740-10 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning retained earnings of our company. Our company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with US 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 consolidated financial statements. We may recognize 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 tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

2014 Trends

Fiscal 2013 was a challenging year and we expect the difficult macroeconomic conditions to continue in Fiscal 2014. While our revenues were down in Fiscal 2013, we made significant strides in improving our gross margin and reducing our overhead. Our top priority in Fiscal 2014 is to cut costs and focus on earnings and profitability as we reorganize our business and streamline our operations. In accordance with our revised strategic plan, we will implement various business initiatives that are designed to strengthen our working capital and operating cash flows as well as our ability to deliver sustainable quarterly earnings. Specifically, we are planning to:

· diversify our business and reduce our dependence on key customers such as Shourong;

· revise our cost structure to make it more scalable;

· reduce our overhead, especially our general and administrative expenses;

· monetize our business relationship with Zhiyuan to generate earnings from the logistic service business; and

· expand our revenue base by creating new business referral opportunities through our overseas and local shipping agency network.

We have signed a 5-year global logistic service agreement with Zhiyuan in June 2013 and will take advantage of this arrangement to expand our service platform. As a small company with pressing priorities and limited resources, we will continue to leverage our cost control measures to enhance our profitability as a protective agent and rely on our internal control structure to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations.

Results of Operations

Year Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2012

Revenues. Our total revenues decreased by 48.85% from $33,881,248 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $17,331,759 in the comparable year in 2013. The number of ships that generated revenues for us decreased from 477 for the year of fiscal 2012 to 438 for the comparable period of fiscal 2013. More importantly, we provided protective services for more ships, which generated significantly lower revenues per ship. For the year ended June 30, 2013, we provided protective services to 277 ships, compared to 114 ships for the year of fiscal 2012. In contrast, we provided loading/discharging service to 161 and 363 ships for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses decreased by 46.92% from $36,805,562 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $19,535,299 for the year ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in our costs of revenues and general and administrative expenses, as discussed below.

	·	*Costs of Revenues.* Our cost of revenues decreased by 50.61% from $31,184,331 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $15,402,743 for the year ended June 30, 2013. The revenues decreased more slowly than costs of revenues and the gross margins increased from 7.96% to 11.13% for the comparative years ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increase in gross margins was mainly due from shift in revenue mix from lower margin loading/unloading services to higher margin protective services. However, the devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese RMB resulted in a 1.18% decrease in gross margin. The average foreign exchange rate was $1.00 to RMB6.2458 for the year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.00 to RMB6.3520 for the year ended June 30, 2012, a 1.67% increase during the period.
	·	*General and Administrative Expenses*. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 25.93% from $5,236,167 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $3,878,569 for the year ended June 30, 2013. This mainly due to (1) decreased office rent of $140,198, (2) a decrease of $536,028 in business promotion, (3) decreased public company listing expenses of $224,400, (4) decreased salaries and benefits for our staff of $494,630, (5) decreased travelling expense of $89,370. The decrease of general and administrative expenses was offset by an increase of $351,493 in the bad debts provision. We will continue our budget control efforts to reduce the general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues.
	·	*Selling Expenses*. Our selling expenses decreased by 34.04% from $385,064 for the year ended June 30, 2012 to $253,987 for the year ended June 30, 2013. Most selling expenses are commissions paid to business partners who refer shipping agency business to us.

Operating Loss. We had an operating loss of $2,203,540 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to an operating loss of $2,924,314 for the comparable year ended June 30, 2012. The operating loss for the year of fiscal 2013 was decreased primarily due to the reduced costs of revenues and general and administrative expenses.

Financial Income, Net. Our net financial expense was $15,520 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to our net financial income of $46,169 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The net financial expense was derived largely from the foreign exchange income recognized in the financial statement consolidation. Foreign exchange losses resulting from the settlement of foreign exchange transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Taxation. Our income tax expense was $410,089 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to income tax benefits of $120,232 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The income tax expense of $413,900 was deferred tax expense resulted from an increase of the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $2,576,896 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to net loss of $2,812,969 for the year ended June 30, 2012. After deduction of non-controlling interest in loss, net loss attributable to Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. was $1,799,755 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to net loss of $1,768,075 for the year ended June 30, 2012. With other comprehensive loss foreign currency translation, comprehensive loss was $1,707,657 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to comprehensive loss of $1,703,123 for the year ended June 30, 2012.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $4,361,613 for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $185,710 for the comparable year in 2012. The increased use in operating cash flows is mainly attributable to a net loss of $2,576,896 and a decrease in accounts payable of $4,247,905, offset by (1) an increase in advances from customers of $406,735, (2) an increase in other current liabilities of $254,513, (3) a decrease in other receivables of $235,629, (4) a decrease in accounts receivables of $127,928, (5) a decrease in advances to suppliers of $128,505, (6) adjustment on deferred tax assets of $413,900 and (7) provision for doubtful accounts of $518,835. According to the agreement signed with Shourong, we should receive our fixed lump sum agency fees prior to our services to be provided. This important term has been breached and Shourong had not paid our fees since September 2012. As of June 30, 2013, our net accounts receivable from Shourong amounted to approximately $2.56 million, leveraged by approximately $2.72 million accounts payable to local port agents for the shipping services related to Shourong. Through the date of this report, we are coordinating between Shourong and local port agents to reach an acceptable settlement for all parties involved by which Shourong will pay the outstanding port charges directly to the local port agents. On July 30, 2013, three fund transfer agency agreements were executed, whereby Shourong will pay directly to local port agents approximately $1.8 million. As almost the all balance due from Shourong represents port charges, the unpaid amount from Shourong will not damage our solvency.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $50,931 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $42,680 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We made capital expenditures of $50,931 and $42,680 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, representing 0.68% and 0.40% of our total assets, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,026,536 for the year ended June 30, 2013 mainly from the issuance 1,800,000 shares to Mr. Zhang Zhong on April 19, 2013, and offset by a decrease of non-controlling interest in majority-owned subsidiary.

Working Capital

Total working capital amounted to $2,740,260 as at June 30, 2013 compared to $1,753,974 as at June 30, 2012. Total current assets decreased by $2,641,236 from $9,786,401 as at June 30, 2012 to $7,145,165 as at June 30, 2013. Decrease in total current assets is principally a result of decrease in cash of approximately $1.38 million and decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $0.65 million.

Current liabilities amounted to $4,404,905 as at June 30, 2013, in comparison to $8,032,427 as at June 30, 2012. The decrease was attributable mainly to a decrease in accounts payable of $4,247,905 resulting from payments made to port agents in the first two quarters of 2013, offset by an increase in other current liabilities of $254,513.

The current ratio increased from 1.22 at June 30, 2012 to 1.62 at June 30, 2013. The improvement in our current ratio was primarily due to the decrease in our current liabilities especially for the decrease in accounts payable.

We believe that current cash, cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our existing cash is insufficient to meet our requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or borrow from banks. However, financing may not be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute our shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash from working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business, operations and prospects may suffer.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We have leased certain office premises and apartments for employees under operating leases through May 17, 2015. Below is a summary of our company’s contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2013:

	Payment Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		More than 3 years
Contractual Obligations
Operating leases	$	187,341	$	146,114	$	41,227	$	—

The Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China requires employers to insure the liability of the severance payments if employees are terminated and have been working for the employers for at least two years prior to January 1, 2008. The employers will be liable for one month for severance pay for each year of the service provided by the employees. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has estimated its severance payments of approximately $127,200, which has not been reflected in its consolidated financial statements, because management cannot predict what the actual payment, if any, will be in the future.

Company Structure

We conduct our operations primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trans Pacific, Sino-AUS and Sino-HK and our variable interest entity, Sino-China. As a result, our ability to pay dividends and to finance any debt we may incur depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries and management fees paid by Sino-China. If our subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, Trans Pacific is permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, wholly foreign-owned enterprises like Trans Pacific are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profit each year to fund a statutory reserve until the amount of the reserve reaches 50% of such entity’s registered capital.

To the extent Trans Pacific does not generate sufficient after-tax profits to fund this statutory reserve, its ability to pay dividends to us may be limited. Although these statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, these reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of a solvent liquidation of the companies. Other than as described in the previous sentences, China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) has approved the company structure between our company and Trans Pacific, and Trans Pacific is permitted to pay dividends to our company.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

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

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Company maintains a system of 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 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. For the purpose of improving management efficiency and effectiveness, the Company has completed the implementation of a new accounting and management information system using SAP Business One software. During the new system implementation process, we ran the old information system and new SAP system in parallel. As a result, the recording data and processing results were cross-checked and confirmed. Our company is currently utilizing the new system.

As of June 30, 2013, our company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in timely alerting them to information required to be included in the Company’s periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the three or twelve months ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management and directors; and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the 1992 framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management believes that, as of June 30, 2013, its internal control over financing reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Item 9B. Other Information.

The Company has previously reported all information required to be disclosed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 in a report on Form 8-K.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, or has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past ten years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities or commodities laws, any laws respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud in connection with any business entity or been subject to any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. None of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Board Leadership Structure

Mr. Cao Lei currently holds both the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. These two positions have not been consolidated into one position; Mr. Cao simply holds both positions at this time. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Cao’s service as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Cao possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company and its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers.

We do not have a lead independent director because of the foregoing reasons and also because we believe our independent directors are encouraged to freely voice their opinions on a relatively small company board. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate because we are a smaller reporting company as such we deem it appropriate to be able to benefit from the guidance of Mr. Cao as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors plays a significant role in our risk oversight. The Board of Directors makes all relevant Company decisions. As such, it is important for us to have our Chief Executive Officer serve on the Board as he plays a key role in the risk oversight of the Company. As a smaller reporting company with a small board of directors, we believe it is appropriate to have the involvement and input of all of our directors in risk oversight matters.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance (Regulation S-K Item 405)

Except as set forth in the following paragraph, based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company under 17 CFR 240.16a-3(e) during its most recent fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to its most recent fiscal year, and any written representation referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the Company is not aware of any director, officer, beneficial owner of more than ten percent of any class of equity securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 that failed to file on a timely basis, as disclosed in the above Forms, reports required by Section 16(a) during the most recent fiscal year or prior years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company has been advised that Zhang Mingwei, its Chief Financial Officer and director, failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) in connection with a single instruction to sell 54,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The June 13, 2013 instruction was partially carried out by Mr. Zhang’s broker over several sales, for an aggregate sale of 52,700 shares. A total of 1,300 shares of Mr. Zhang’s common stock remain unsold at the date of this filing. In addition, Mr. Zhang Zhong purchased 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock after the Company’s shareholders approved such issuance. The shares were issued on or about May 24, 2013.

Regulation S-K Item 406

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and has filed a copy of the Code of Ethics with the Commission.

Regulation S-K Item 407(c)(3)

None.

Regulation S-K Item 407(d)(4) and (5)

The Company has an audit committee, consisting solely of the Company’s independent directors, Tieliang Liu, Wang Jing and Dennis O. Laing. Mr. Liu qualifies as the audit committee financial expert. The Company’s audit committee charter is available on the Company’s website (www.sino-global.com) or directly at the following link: http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/22/221375/corpgov/AuditCommCharte09272008.pdf.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

The following table shows the annual compensation paid by us to Mr. Cao Lei, our Principal Executive Officer, and Mr. Zhang Mingwei, our Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. No other officer had a salary during either of the previous two years of more than $100,000.

We granted each of Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhang options to purchase 36,000 shares of our common stock for $7.75 per share. We granted these options on May 20, 2008. Although we recognize $53,114 in compensation expense for these options as 10,800 options vested for each of Mr. Cao and Mr. Zhang in fiscal 2013, changes in SEC disclosure requirements require us to disclose the grant date fair value of these shares. As the grant was made in fiscal 2008, the amount is not reflected in this summary compensation table.

Under Chinese law, these employment agreements may only be terminated without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement are scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty to our company, where the employee has committed a crime or the employee’s actions or inactions have resulted in a material adverse effect to us.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The Board of Directors maintains a majority of independent directors who are deemed to be independent under the definition of independence provided by NASDAQ Stock Market Rule 4200(a)(15). Other than as described herein, no transactions required to be disclosed under Item 404 of Regulation S-K have occurred since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year.

On June 27, 2013, we signed a 5-year global logistic service agreement with TEWOO Chemical & Light Industry Zhiyuan Trade Co., Ltd and TianJin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd (together “Zhiyuan”). TianJin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd is owned by Mr. Zhang Zhong, the largest shareholder of the Company. For the year ended June 30, 2013, we have had no business transaction with Zhiyuan. Before Mr. Zhang Zhong was a shareholder of the Company, he agreed with the Company to cause Zhiyuan to procure certain services from the Company. The 5-year global logistic service agreement details the nature of such cooperation between Zhiyuan and the Company. Thus, while Mr. Zhang Zhong’s initial agreement to direct business to the company was made when he was not a related party, the subsequent agreement was entered after he was a related party.

As of June 30, 2013, we reported a due from related party of approximately $541,400 from Sino-G Trading Inc., an entity that is owned by the brother-in-law of our CEO. Sino-G Trading Inc. performed as a fund transfer agent for our services in Tianjin, PRC, and the amount due represents the balance that had not been paid to the local port.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Friedman LLP was appointed by the Company to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2013. Audit services provided by Friedman LLP for fiscal 2013 included the examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company; and services related to periodic filings made with the SEC. In addition, Friedman LLP provided review services relating to the Company’s quarterly reports.

Audit Fees

During fiscal 2013 and 2012, Friedman LLP’s fees for the annual audit of our financial statements and the quarterly reviews of the financial statements included in Forms 10-Q were $150,000 and $225,000, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. and Affiliates (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in equity for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND AFFILIATES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2001 in New York. On September 18, 2007, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to merge into a new Corporation, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. in Virginia.

The Company’s principal geographic market is in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of shipping agency service businesses, the Company provides its services in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate shipping services in the PRC. Sino-China is located in Beijing with branches in Qingdao, Qinhuangdao and Fangchenggang and provides general shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC.

On November 13, 2007, the Company formed a wholly owned foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), which invested in a 90%-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai” Trans Pacific Beijing and Trans Pacific Shanghai are referred to collectively as “Trans Pacific”) on May 31, 2009.

To build an international shipping agency service network, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Australia Pty Ltd. (“Sino-Global AUS”) in Perth, Australia on July 3, 2008, which serves the needs of customers shipping into and out of Western Australia. The Company also signed an agreement with Monson Agencies Australia (“Monson”), one of the largest shipping agency service providers in Australia. Through the Company’s relationship with Monson, the Company is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in Australia.

The Company established another wholly-owned subsidiary on September 22, 2008, Sino-Global Shipping (HK) Limited ("Sino-Global HK") to perform as a control and management center for southern Chinese ports and enables the Company to extend its offering of comprehensive shipping agency services to vessels going to and from one of the world's busiest ports. On July 27, 2009, Sino-Global HK signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Forbes & Company Limited (“Forbes”), which is a listed company on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BOM: 502865) and one of the largest shipping and logistic service providers in India. Through the Company’s relationship with Forbes, it is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in India.

The Company established a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Canada Inc.(“Sino-Global Canada”) in 2012, to provide services for ships loading commodities at Canadian ports and delivering them to China.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Sino-China is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company through Trans Pacific Beijing entered into agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. 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. In accordance with these agreements, Sino-China pays consulting and marketing fees equal to 85% and 5%, respectively, of its net income to the Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Trans Pacific Beijing, and Trans Pacific Beijing supplies the technology and personnel needed to service Sino-China. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the benefit of the Company.

As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, and its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with the Company’s. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of the Company’s and Sino-China’s financial statements.

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s income because the entities are under common control in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”. 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. For this reason, the Company has included 90% of Sino-China’s net income in the Company’s net income, and only the 10% of Sino-China’s net income not paid to the Company represents the non-controlling interest in Sino-China’s income. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of Sino-China.

The carrying amount and classification of Sino-China's assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

	June 30,
	2013		2012

Total current assets	$	145,307	$	537,068
Total assets		326,480		766,075
Total current liabilities		324,334		298,948
Total liabilities		324,334		298,948

F-7

(c) Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Advances to suppliers at the amount of $541,377 were reclassified to due from related party as of June 30, 2012. Certain line items on the Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended June 30, 2012 have been reclassified accordingly. These reclassifications have no material impact on the previously reported financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We adopted 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 which 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.

(e) Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the 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 consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, fair value of stock options, cost of revenues, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, and the useful lives of property and equipment.

Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the US dollars (“USD”) while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into US dollars 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 foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global AUS, Sino-Global HK, Sino-Global Canada and Trans Pacific 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 sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated as a separate component of equity of the Company and also included in non-controlling interest.

F-8

The exchange rates for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	June 30,
	2013		2012
Foreign currency	BS	PL	BS	PL
RMB:1USD	6.1787	6.2458	6.3249	6.3520
1AUD:USD	0.9143	1.0266	1.0203	1.0323
1HKD:USD	0.1289	0.1289	0.1289	0.1286
1CAD:USD	0.9506	0.9956	0.9836	0.9967

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, and other highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong and the United States. Cash balances of $2,604,933 are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

(h) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts 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 balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balances, customers’ historical payment history, their current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 365 days. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $690,065 and $357,042, respectively.

(i) Property and Equipment

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		5-10 years
Furniture and office equipment		3-5 years

The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired by the Company when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. If impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. Management has determined that there were no impairments at the balance sheet dates.

F-9

(j) Revenue recognition

The Company charges shipping agency fees in two ways: (1) fixed fees that are predetermined with the customer, and (2) cost-plus fees that are calculated based on the actual costs incurred plus a markup. The Company generally requires retainer payments in advance from customers and bills them on the balance within 30 days after the transactions are completed.

Revenues are recognized from shipping agency services 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 advances from customers.

(k) Taxation

Because the Company and its subsidiaries and Sino-China are incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with US 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 consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the asset will not be utilized in the future.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under 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 Business Tax and Surcharges

Revenues from services provided by Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to the PRC business tax of 5%. Business tax and surcharges are paid on gross revenues generated from shipping agency services minus the costs of services which are paid on behalf of the customers.

In addition, under the PRC regulations, Sino-China is required to pay the city construction tax (7%) and education surcharges (3%) based on the calculated business tax payments.

Sino-China reports its revenues net of PRC’s business tax and surcharges for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

(l) Loss per share

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

The effect of 102,000 stock options and 139,032 warrants for all periods presented were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because they would be anti-dilutive.

(m) Stock-based compensation

Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was measured in the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the level 2 inputs. 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 operations of the Company are primarily located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, 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 and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by exchanges 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 addition, the Company only controls Sino-China through a series of agreements. If such agreements were cancelled, modified or otherwise not complied with, the Company may not be able to retain control of this consolidated entity and the impact could be material to the Company’s operations.

There have been no new accounting pronouncements that would have a material impact on the financial position of the Company.
