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

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

Overview

Founded in the United States (“US”) in 2001, we are a shipping agency, logistics and ship management services company. Our current service offerings consist of shipping agency services, shipping and chartering services, inland transportation management services and ship management services. We conduct our business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada and New York. A significant portion of our business is generated from clients located in China. The shipping agency business is operated by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Australia. The ship management services are operated by our subsidiary in Hong Kong. The shipping and chartering services are operated by our company in the US and our subsidiaries in Hong Kong. The inland transportation management services are operated by our subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific Beijing (as defined below).

Our subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), a wholly owned foreign enterprise, invested in one 90%-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai,” and, together with Trans Pacific Beijing, collectively, “Trans Pacific”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of local shipping agency service businesses, we formerly provided shipping agency 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 local shipping agency services in the PRC. 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 us to substantially control Sino-China. Through Sino-China, we have the ability to provide local shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC. During fiscal year 2014, we completed a number of cost reduction initiatives and reorganized our shipping agency business in the PRC to improve our operating margin. In light of our decision not to pursue the local shipping agency business and as a result of the business reorganization efforts, we no longer provide shipping agency services through our VIE structure and have not undertaken any business through or with Sino-China since approximately June 30, 2014.

Subsequently, in January 2016, we formed a new subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc. for the purpose of expand our business into providing importer security filing services with U.S Customs and Department of Homeland Security, on behalf of importers who ship goods into the U.S.A. We expect starting this new business line will help us to expand our platform to generate increased revenue in the near future.

Business Segments

We currently deliver the following services: shipping agency and ship management services, shipping and chartering services, and inland transportation management services. Historically, we were in the business of solely providing shipping agency services. With the support of our largest shareholder, Mr. Zhong Zhang and the company he controls, Tianjin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co. Ltd. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”), we expanded our service platform during fiscal year 2014 to include shipping and chartering services (launched during the quarter ended September 30, 2013) and inland transportation management services (launched during the quarter ended December 31, 2013). With the acquisition of Longhe Ship Management (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“LSM”), a ship management company that is based in Hong Kong, we added ship management services to our service platform in September 2014. 

The following table presents summary information by segment for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Revenues

(1) Revenues from Shipping Agency and Ship Management Services

l Shipping Agency Services

We provide two types of shipping agency services: 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 behalf of our customers. Under these circumstances, 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 ship-times to which we provide port loading/discharging services;

· the size and types of ships we serve;

· the type of services we provide;

· the rate of service fees we charge;

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

· the number of customers we serve.

For the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our shipping agency revenues were $1,549,256 and $3,459,790, respectively. The decline in revenues was mainly due to the decrease in the total number of ship we served - from 97 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to 18 for the same period in 2015. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, our shipping agency revenues were $489,871 and $1,800,499, respectively. Our quarterly revenues were also negatively impacted by the decrease in the total number of ship we served from 27 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to 8 for the same period in 2015. Decreases in the number of ship served were affected by general economy slow-down in China and also driven by intense competition in the industry, with established and new competitors offering rates that in many cases are much lower than we can offer.

l Ship Management Services

On September 8, 2014, we acquired Longhe Ship Management (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“LSM”) from Mr. Deming Wang. From September to December 2014, LSM managed seven vessels and outsourced the actual ship management duties (which include among other things, crew, technical and insurance arrangements) for Qingdao Longhe Ship Management Services Co., Ltd., a company controlled by Mr. Deming Wang. Based on industry publications and information received from third parties, we grew concerned about the financial viability of vessel owners who were our customers and determined to suspend service to such customers since early January 2015. Because we acted swiftly to suspend such services, we avoided any payment and collection issues with these customers. While we do not currently serve any other customers in this business segment, we are in discussions with a number of potential customers to provide such services. We did not generate any revenue  from the ship management service segment for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015. However, in connection with our acquisition of LSM, we generated $190,095 of revenue from the closing date of our acquisition of LSM to December 31, 2014, and $142,508 of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

(2) Revenues from Shipping and Chartering Services

On April 10, 2015, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Rong Yao International Shipping Limited (the “Vessel Seller”) regarding the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Rong Zhou, a small oil/chemical vessel (the “Vessel”). During the transition period, on May 20, 2015, our Board of Directors approved the entry into chartering arrangements to facilitate the transition of the management and operation of the Vessel. Accordingly, the Vessel Seller has time-chartered the Vessel to us for a two-year period, and we have time-chartered the Vessel to a third-party charterer also for a two-year period, both commencing on May 20, 2015. Under the terms of these chartering agreements, the third-party charterer will pay us at the rate of $7,500 per day, and we will, in turn, pay the Vessel Seller at the rate of $3,500 per day. The time charter agreements was originally set to generate revenues of approximately $0.46 million and gross profit of approximately $0.25 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, among which significant amount was generated in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 ended September 30, 2015. However, upon the request by the vessel seller, we terminated the proposed vessel acquisition on December 7, 2015. And the related assets purchase agreement and chartering agreements have also been terminated. Therefore, there were no such revenues from shipping and chartering services following that date.

(3) Revenues from Inland Transportation Management Services

In September 2013, we executed an inland transportation management service contract with the Zhiyuan Investment Group whereby we would provide certain advisory services to help control potential commodities loss during the transportation process. We started to provide inland transportation management services to a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest Ferroalloy Co., Ltd., following the quarter ended September 2014. As a result, for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the inland transportation management services generated revenues of $2,284,695 and $2,238,715, and gross profit of $1,793,003 and $1,931,491, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the inland transportation management services generated revenues of $1,091,080 and $1,292,081, and gross profit of $787,941 and $1,110,505, respectively.

Costs of Revenues

Our overall cost of revenues as a percentage of our revenues decreased from 54.1% to 45.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and from 54.2% to 44.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in total costs and expenses was mainly due to the decrease in cost of shipping agency and ship management services affected by decreased revenue in these segments. The improvement in our overall gross margin was due mainly to the strong margin contribution from the inland transportation management services.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, business development expenses, office rent, office expenses, regulatory filing and listing fees, legal, accounting and other professional service fees. The increase in our general and administrative expense for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014 was due mainly to the higher allowance  accrued for doubtful accounts, as well as the higher legal, accounting and other professional service fees incurred in connection with our securities registration activities and higher business development expenses, partly offset by the lower travelling charges and office expense. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, our management reassessed the collectability of certain past due accounts receivable and related party receivable and accrued approximately $0.6 million additional bad debt reserve on accounts receivable and $0.17 million bad debt on related party receivable. As a percentage of revenue, our general and administrative expenses increased from 39.6% to 67.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, and increased from 42.6% to 122.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses consist primarily of commissions for our operating staff to the ports at which we provide services.

As a percentage of revenue, our selling expenses decreased from 1.2% to 1.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively, mainly due to a decline in shipping agency revenues and a decline in the total number of ships we served as discussed above. Our selling expenses increased from 0.3% to 1.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, primary due to the increased labor cost.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare the Company’s unaudited condensed 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.

There have been no material changes during the six months ended December 31, 2015 in our significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

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

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

· Revenues from shipping and chartering services are recognized upon performance of services as stipulated in the underlying contract.

· Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customer’s warehouse.

· Revenues from ship management services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

7 

Basis of Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent and its subsidiaries. All 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. 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. 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 revenues are included in our total revenues, its net loss from operations is consolidated with our Company’s, and our net income before non-controlling interest in its net loss includes all of Sino-China’s net loss. Our non-controlling interest in its net loss is then subtracted in calculating the net income attributable to our Company.

Accounts Receivable

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.

Taxation

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.

2016 Trends

We expect the difficult macroeconomic conditions in fiscal year 2015 to continue into fiscal year 2016; and we believe competition and rising labor costs in the PRC will continue to pressure our operating model. While fiscal year 2015 marks the second consecutive year of net income in the history of Sino-Global, we believe we must continue to diversify our service platform; reduce our dependency on businesses and cash flows that are generated from China; and develop complementary shipping and/or logistics services that are based in the US.

We have developed, and will continue to foster, strong strategic relationship with vessel owners, such as Mr. Weixiong Yang, a vessel owner and a shareholder of Sino-Global as a result of his recent purchase of 500,000 shares of our restricted common stock in July 2015, to identify areas where Sino-Global could provide its shipping services to them. In January 2016, we formed a new subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc. for the purpose of expand our business into providing importer security filing (ISF) services with U.S Customs and Department of Homeland Security, on behalf of importers who ship goods into the U.S.A. We expect starting this new business line will help us to expand our platform to generate increased revenue in the near future.

Currently, over 1 million containers are shipped from China to Western United States every month, and all shipments in containers must file Importer Security Filing to U.S Customs. In fact, Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc. is negotiating details with a few potential customers. We expect our comparable price will attract more customers.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2014

Revenues. Our total revenues decreased by $1,402,336 or 24.6% from $5,698,505 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $4,296,169 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the declined revenues generated from shipping agency and partly offset by revenues increased from shipping & chartering services.

· Revenues from our inland transportation management services increased by $45,980 from $2,238,715 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $2,284,695 for the same period in 2015. The increase was due mainly to the delivery of inland transportation management services to both a related party customer Zhiyuan and a third-party customer, Tengda Northwest Ferroalloy Co., Ltd..

· For the six months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized revenues of $1,549,256 from our shipping agency services, as compared to $3,459,790 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was due mainly to the softening of the Chinese economy which reduced the general import needs for iron ore and accordingly shipping arrangement demands from our customers decreased. The number of ship-times we served decreased from 97 to 18 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

· Revenues from our ship management services were nil for the six months ended December 31, 2015, and $190,095 for the corresponding period in 2014.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses decreased by $521,709 or 9.6% from $5,407,881 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $4,886,172 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to decrease in our cost of revenues, as discussed below.

· Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues decreased by $1,136,211 or 36.8% from $3,084,014 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $1,947,803 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. The decline in our overall cost of revenues was due mainly to lower revenues from our shipping agency services; as well as the nature of our inland transportation management services, which feature lower overhead than our shipping and chartering services.

· General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $637,098 or 28.2% from $2,257,146 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $2,894,244 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to $773,259 allowance accrued for doubtful accounts,  as well as the higher legal, accounting and other professional service fees incurred in connection with our securities registration activities and higher business development expenses, partly offset by the lower travelling charges and office expense.

· Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses decreased by $22,596 or 33.9% from $66,721 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 to $44,125 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to lower commission payments related to the decreased revenue from our shipping agency service segment.

Operating Income (loss). We had an operating loss of $590,003 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to an operating income of $290,624 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2014. The increase in our operating loss was due mainly to the declined revenues generated from shipping agency services and the increased general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Financial Expense, Net. Our net financial expense was $312,983 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to net financial expense of $121,334 for the same period ended December 31, 2014. We have operations in the US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and China. Due to recent significant depreciation of the RMB, our net financial expense reflected the foreign currency exchange effect for each reporting period indicated.

Taxation. Our income tax expense was $573,355 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to income tax benefit of $51,463 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in income tax expense was twofold. As we generated steady taxable income from the inland transportation management segment, we accrued income tax expense of $292,755 for the six months ended December 31, 2015. On the other hand, due to the termination of the proposed vessel acquisition in December 2015, we reassessed the possibility of utilization of previously accrued deferred tax assets and provided 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $280,600. As a result, total the income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $573,355.

Net income (loss). As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of $1,480,962 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $241,241 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. After deduction of non-controlling interest, net loss attributable to Sino-Global was $1,314,941 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $468,881 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. With comprehensive income (loss) from foreign currency translation, comprehensive loss attributable to Sino-Global was $1,518,411 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared to comprehensive income of $494,733 for the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2014

Revenues.  Our total revenues decreased by $1,495,629 or 48.4% from $3,092,580 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $1,596,951 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease was due mainly to declined revenues generated from shipping agency services and ship management services.

· Revenues from our inland transportation management services decreased by $201,001 from $1,292,081 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $1,091,080 for the same period in 2015.

· For the three months ended December 31, 2015, we recognized revenues of $489,871 from our shipping agency services, as compared to $1,800,499 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was  due mainly to the slowdown of the Chinese economy which weakened the general import needs for iron ore and accordingly shipping arrangement demands from our customers decreased. The number of ships we served decreased from 27 to 8 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

· Revenues from our ship management services were nil and $142,508 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses decreased by $302,553 or 10.1% from $3,002,584 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $2,700,031 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in our costs of revenues and selling expenses, as discussed below.

· Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues decreased by $967,734 or 57.8% from $1,674,861 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $707,127 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decline in our overall cost of revenues was due mainly to lower revenues from our shipping agency services, as well as the nature of our inland transportation management services, which feature lower overhead than our shipping and chartering services.

· General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $646,061 or 49.0% from $1,317,341 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $1,963,402 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. This increase was mainly due to $773,259 allowance accrued for doubtful accounts, as well as the higher legal, accounting and other professional service fees incurred in connection with our securities registration activities and higher business development expenses, partly offset by the lower travelling charges and office expense.

· Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by $19,120 or 184.2% from $10,382 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 to $29,502 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to more salary and bonus was paid to sales person to promote the sales.

Operating Income (loss). We had an operating loss of $1,103,080 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to an operating income of $89,996 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2014. The increase in our operating loss was due mainly to declined revenues generated from shipping agency services and ship management services, and increased general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Financial Expense, Net. Our net financial expense was $195,776 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to net financial expense $58,952 for the same period ended December 31, 2014. We have operations in the US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and China.

Taxation. Our income tax expense was $332,533 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to income tax benefit of $24,208 for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in income tax expense was twofold. As we generated steady taxable income from the inland transportation management segment, we accrued income tax expense of $32,933 for the three months ended December 31, 2015. On the other hand, due to the termination of the proposed vessel acquisition in December 2015, we reassessed the possibility of utilization of previously accrued deferred tax assets and provided 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of $299,600. As a result, total income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 was $332,533.

Net income (loss). As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of $1,636,010 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to net income of $75,740 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Cash Flows and Working Capital

We have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and proceeds from sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2015, we had $1,094,576 in cash and cash equivalents. We had approximately 76.9% of our cash in banks located in New York, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong and had approximately 23.1% of cash in banks located in China.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	For the six months ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(691,776	)	$	(969,590	)
Net cash provided by investing activities	$	329,111		$	1,092,133
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	650,330		$	967,820
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	364,254		$	1,129,216
Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the period	$	730,322		$	902,531
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	$	1,094,576		$	2,031,747

The following table sets forth a summary of our working capital:

	December 31, 2015		June 30, 2015		Diff.			%
Total Current Assets	$	10,789,325	$	8,105,688	$	2,683,637			33.1	%
Total Current Liabilities	$	1,824,506	$	1,914,044	$	(89,538	)		-4.7	%
Working Capital	$	8,964,819	$	6,191,644	$	2,773,175			44.8	%
Current Ratio		5.91	$	4.23	$	1.68			39.7	%

The Company normally relies on cash from its operating activities to fund its ongoing operations and it has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities, but there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue source in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through spinoff unprofitable business segment, identifying new prospective joint venture and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, for instance the new subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc, which is set up in January 2016 and provides importer security filing services, financial support by major shareholders and cutting costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital. Management believes that the foregoing measures collectively will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its future liquidity and capital obligations.

Operating Activities 

Net cash used in operating activities was $691,776 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which included our operating loss of $1.48 million due to our decreased revenue and increased bad debt reserve on past due accounts receivable and related party receivable. In addition, our accounts receivable increased by $0.27 million because we continued to provide inland transportation services to customer Tengda Northwest, other receivable increased $0.65 million because we prepaid for employee insurance and welfare benefits and increased the guarantee deposits on behalf of the ship owners and increased the office lease deposits with the landlords. On the other hand,  our taxes payable increased by $413,510 due to the increased taxable income from our inland transportation management services provided to both related party customer Zhiyuan and third-party customer Tengda Northwest, the increase in tax payable was partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $396,698 because we made the payment to settle the outstanding port charges upon receiving the invoices. Our cash outflows from the operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2015 reflected the above mentioned factors.

Net cash used in operating activities was $969,590 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, which included our net income of $241,241, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $905,468 because we provided inland transportation services to customer and has not collected the amount as of December 31, 2014. Also, advances to suppliers increased by $584,071 because we prepaid RMB 3.5 million to consultant Zhejiang Sainuo for consulting services. Other receivables also increased by $399,514 because of increased guarantee deposits on behalf of the ship owners. On the other hand, account payable decreased by $185,385 due to payment made to settle the outstanding port charges, Furthermore, due from related parties decreased by $806,243 because we collected the receivable from related party Zhiyuan during the six months ended December 31, 2014. Our cash outflows form the operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2014 reflected the above factors.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $329,111 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1,092,133 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, The amount was mainly generated by cash collection from the termination of vessel acquisition of $332,413 during the six months ended December 31, 2015, compared with the collection of a short-term loan from our related party, the Zhiyuan Investment Group, of $1,119,241 during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $650,330 for the six months ended December 31, 2015, of which $691,600 resulted from the proceeds from the issuance of common stock to Mr. Weixiong Yang in a private sale transaction on July 10, 2015. During the second quarter of this fiscal year, pursuant the board resolution regarding stock repurchase plan dated on October 11, 2015, the Company repurchased 44,706 common shares and recorded as treasury stock, with a payment of $41,270. Net cash provided by financing activities was $967,820 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to the net proceeds from the issuance of 647,000 shares of common stock in July 2014.

Working Capital

Total working capital amounted to $8,964,819 as at December 31, 2015 compared to $6,191,644 as at June 30, 2015. Total current assets increased by $2,683,637 or 33.1% from $8,105,688 as at June 30, 2015 to $10,789,325 as at December 31, 2015. Increase in total current assets is mainly due to an increase in prepaid expense and other current assets of $2,638,572, an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $364,254 and an increase in other receivables of $321,816, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $527,559.

Current liabilities amounted to $1,824,506 as at December 31, 2015, in comparison to $1,914,044 as at June 30, 2015. Total current liabilities decreased by $89,538 or 4.7% primarily because of a decrease in accounts payable of $396,698 and a decrease in advances from customers of $100,370, offset by an increase in taxes payable  of $413,509.

As a result of the overall increase in our current assets, the current ratio increased from 4.23 at June 30, 2015 to 5.91 at December 31, 2015.

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.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We have leased certain office premises and apartments for employees under operating leases through August 31, 2019. Below is a summary of our company’s contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2015:

	Amount
Twelve months ending December 31,
2016	$	212,910
2017		132,736
2018		66,597

Thereafter		-
	$	457,437

Company Structure

We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries, Trans Pacific Beijing, Sino-Global Shipping Australia and Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serve as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND AFFILIATES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Founded in the United States (“US”) in 2001, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (“Sino-Global” or the “Company”) is a shipping agency, logistics and ship management services company. The Company’s current service offerings consist of shipping agency services, shipping and chartering services, inland transportation management services and ship management services. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in China, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada. Substantially all of the Company’s business is generated from clients located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and its operations are primarily conducted in the PRC and Hong Kong.

The Company’s subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), a wholly owned foreign enterprise, invested in one 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”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of local shipping agency service businesses, the Company provided its shipping agency services in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China” or “VIE”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate local shipping agency services in the PRC. 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. Through Sino-China, the Company has the ability to provide local shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC. During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed a number of cost reduction initiatives and reorganized its shipping agency business in the PRC to improve its operating margin. In light of the Company’s decision not to pursue the local shipping agency business and as a result of the business reorganization efforts since approximately June 30, 2014, the Company no longer provides shipping agency services through its VIE structure and has not undertaken any business through or with Sino-China as of December 31, 2015 since approximately June 2014.

The Company’s shipping agency business is operated by its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Australia. The Company’s ship management services are operated by its subsidiary in Hong Kong. The Company’s shipping and chartering services are operated by its company in the US and subsidiaries in HK. The Company’s inland transportation management services are operated by its subsidiary in China.

Note 2. LIQUIDITY

As reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2015. Revenue from the Company’s shipping agency service business segment was in a decreasing trend due to higher overhead costs and decreased number of ships served. In addition, the Company terminated the vessel acquisition agreement during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 which reduced the Company’s revenue source from the shipping and chartering service segment.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue source in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through spinning off its unprofitable business segment, identifying new prospective joint venture and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, financial support by major shareholders and cutting costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital.

Management believes that the foregoing measures collectively will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its future liquidity and capital obligations.

Note 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K filed on September 18, 2015.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant intercompany 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. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required to absorb such net loss. 

21 

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

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results 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. 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 Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2015		2015
Total current assets	$	74,284	$	59,069
Total assets	$	181,877	$	189,499
Total current liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732
Total liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732

(c) Revenue Recognition Policy

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

· Revenues from shipping and chartering services are recognized upon performance of services as stipulated in the underlying contract.

· Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customer’s warehouse.

· Revenues from ship management services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

(d) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD”) while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada and Trans Pacific Beijing 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.

The exchange rates as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,		Six months ended December 31,				Three months ended December 31,
	2015		2015		2015		2014		2015		2014
Foreign currency		Balance Sheet		Balance Sheet		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss
RMB:1USD		6.4952		6.1988		6.3468		6.1565		6.3906		6.1484
1AUD:USD		1.3710		1.2986		1.3842		1.1262		1.3891		1.1705
1HKD:USD		7.7508		7.7520		7.7512		7.7534		7.7506		7.7557
1CAD:USD		1.3847		1.2475		1.3221		1.1126		1.3356		1.1362

22 

(e) 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. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, cash balances of $233,678 and $65,191, respectively, maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

(f) 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 Receivable are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. 

(g) Earnings (deficit) per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect 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 per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

The effect of 66,000 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 as the exercise prices for such options and warrants were higher than the average market price for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(h) Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business, financial position 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 changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In 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. Moreover, the Company’s ability to grow its business and maintain its profitability could be negatively affected by the nature and extent of services provided to its major customer, Tianjin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”).

(i) Reclassifications

Other current liabilities in 2014 cash flows have been reclassified to taxes payable and other current liabilities to conform to the current period presentation.

(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets”. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (1) Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (2) Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (3) Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and. (4) Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 4. ADVANCES TO SUPPLIERS

The Company’s advances to suppliers are as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,

Others		1,874		2,579
Total	$	1,874	$	50,975

(a) On November 3, 2014, the Company entered into an advisory service agreement with Sainuo Investment Management Ltd. (“Sainuo”) whereby Sainuo, a professional services firm based in the PRC specializing in mergers and acquisitions, business restructuring and appraisal, had been engaged to assist the Company in the identification of suitable acquisition candidates, performance of required due diligence and other business advisory services. Pursuant to the service agreement, Sainuo is entitled to a service fee (which amount is calculated based on 8% of the value of the acquisition but not to exceed RMB 3.5 million). On November 24, 2014, the Company advanced RMB 3.5 million to Sainuo in accordance with the service agreement, in connection with the Company’s decision to acquire Rong Zhou (see note 8), a small oil/chemical product tanker identified by Sainuo as an acquisition candidate (the “Vessel Acquisition”). Sainuo, Rong Yao International Shipping Limited, a Hong Kong company (the “Vessel Seller”). Sino-Global executed an agreement on April 22, 2015 whereby Sainuo shall collect a service fee of RMB 300,000 from the Company and remit RMB 3.2 million to the Vessel Seller as Sino-Global’s partial payment of the Vessel purchase price. The Company made a payment of RMB 3.5 million to Sainuo upon the earlier agreement, including RMB 300 thousand (US $46,188) as its advance to Sainuo for the completion of the agreed-upon advisory services, in addition to the offer of the 1.2 million shares issued to the Vessel Seller (see note 10).

On December 7, 2015, the Company and the vessel seller entered into a supplemental agreement to terminate the proposed vessel acquisition. Accordingly, the advance payment of RMB 330 thousand to Sainuo for advisory services was recognized as consulting service charge and reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015.

(1): The Company entered into management consulting and advisory services agreements with two consultants on June 6, 2014, pursuant to which the consultants should assist the Company in, among other things, financial and tax due diligence, business evaluation and integration, and development of pro forma financial statements. In return for their services, as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, a total of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to these two consultants. During June 2014, a total of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the consultants as a prepayment for their services. The value of their consulting services was determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock of $2.34 per share when the shares were issued to the consultants. The remaining 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock were then issued to the consultants on August 29, 2014 at $1.68 per share. Their service agreements are for the period from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016.

In addition, on May 5, 2015, the Company entered into management consulting and advisory services agreements with three consultants, pursuant to which the consultants should assist the Company in, among other things, review of time charter agreements; crew management advisory; development of permanent and preventive maintenance standards related to dry dockings and ship repairs; development of regular technical and marine vessel inspections and quality control procedures; and development and implementation of alternative remedial actions to address any technical problems that may arise. In return for their services, as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, a total of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were to be issued to these three consultants. Their service agreements are for a period of 18 months, effective May 2015. The related consulting fees will be ratably charged to expense over the term of the agreements. The value of their consulting services was determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.50 per share when the shares were issued to the consultants.

On December 9, 2015, the Company entered into a consulting and advisory services agreement with a consultant, pursuant to which the consultant will assist the Company for corporate restructuring, business evaluation and capitalization during the period from November 20, 2015 to November 19, 2016.

Total	$	34,439	$	2,773,908

On April 10, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Rong Yao International Shipping Limited, a Hong Kong company (the “Vessel Seller”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire, subject to a number of closing conditions, “Rong Zhou,” an 8,818 gross tonnage oil/chemical transportation tanker (the “Vessel”) from the Vessel Seller; and in connection therewith, the Company issued to the Vessel Seller 1.2 million shares of its restricted common stock representing $2,220,000 of the $10.5 million purchase price for the Vessel. The Company and the Vessel Seller agreed that each of the 1.2 million shares issued to the Vessel Seller was valued at $1.85 per share. In connection therewith, the Company filed a registration statement on April 15, 2015 covering the offer of the 1.2 million shares issued to the Vessel Seller. In addition, the Company previously advanced RMB 3.5 million to third-party Sainuo for identification of a suitable acquisition candidate. In connection with a settlement agreement with Sainuo as discussed in Note 3, Sainuo transferred RMB 3.2 million to the Vessel Seller. As of June 30, 2015, total installment payment for the Vessel of $2,736,229 was made up of the agreed-upon value of $2,220,000 related to the 1.2 million shares of Sino-Global’s restricted common stock issued to the Vessel Seller and RMB 3.2 million (US $516,229) remitted by Sainuo to the Vessel Seller as Sino-Global’s partial payment of the Vessel purchase price. Then the installment payment related to Vessel acquisition was recognized as one other long-term asset as at the end of the previous financial year.

In connection with the termination of the Assets Purchase Agreement as discussed in Note 4, the Vessel Seller has agreed to return the 1.2 million shares to the Company, in addition to refund approximately $330,000 after all related charges, which was accepted by both parties. The Company received the cash refund of $330,000 in December 2015 but the 1.2 million shares have not been received by December 31, 2015 due to pending legal documents. The Company received the 1.2 million shares as of the date of this report  and accordingly the $2.22 million deposit has been reclassified as other current assets as reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 (See Note 8.)

The Company’s deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:

	December 31,			June 30,
	2015			2015
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	220,000		$	248,000
Stock-based compensation		632,000			382,000

Valuation allowance		(3,678,000	)		(2,525,400	)
Deferred tax assets, net - long-term	$	-		$	280,600

Our operations in the U.S. have incurred a cumulative net operating loss of approximately $7,252,000 and $5,591,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, which may reduce future taxable income. This carry-forward will expire if not utilized by 2035. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, major components of our deferred tax assets included net operating loss of our U.S entities, stock-based compensation and allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. Due to the termination of the proposed vessel acquisition in December 2015, management concluded that the chances for the Company’s U.S. entities to be profitable in the foreseeable future became remote, and accordingly 100% of the deferred tax assets balance has been provided a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 based on management’s estimate.

The Company’s taxes payable consists of the following:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2015		2015
VAT tax payable	$	418,823	$	296,935
Corporate income tax payable		934,793		664,132

Note 16. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company's internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company's business segments.

The Company's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the financial information of separate operating segments when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the group. Based on management's assessment, the Company has determined that it has three operating segments: shipping agency service, shipping and chartering services, and inland transportation management services.

Note 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In June 2013, the Company 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. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”) is owned by Mr. Zhang, the largest shareholder of the Company. In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with the Zhiyuan Investment Group whereby it would provide certain advisory services and help control its potential commodities loss during the transportation process. As a result of the inland transportation management services provided to Zhiyuan, the net amount due from Zhiyuan Investment Group was $2,609,831 at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company continued to provide inland transportation management services to Zhiyuan and also collected approximately $1.1 million (RMB 7.4 million) from Zhiyuan to reduce the outstanding accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015, the net amount due from Zhiyuan was $2,720,246. Management expects that such receivable will be substantially collected in 2016. 

At June 30, 2015, the Company was owed $174,759 from Sino-G Trading Inc. (“Sino-G”), an entity that is owned by the brother-in-law of the Company’s CEO. Sino-G previously served as a funds transfer agent for the Company’s services in Tianjin, PRC. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, management reassessed the collectability of such receivable due from Sino-G and concluded that the likelihood to collect such balance became doubtful since such amount has been past due for a long time. As a result, a 100% valuation allowance has been applied against this past due amount.

Note 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  

In January 2016, the Company formed a new subsidiary Sino-Global Shipping LA Inc. for the purpose of expanding its business to provide import security filing services with U.S Customs and Department of Homeland Security, on behalf of importers who ship goods into the U.S. The Company expects to expand its service platform to generate increased revenue from this new business in the near future.

Effective February 11, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted 660,000 shares of common stock to seven directors and executive officers under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan Stock Award Agreements, these shares vested immediately, with a total value of $349,800, at $0.53 per share based on the Company’s stock price on February 10, 2016.

As of the date of this report, the Company received 1.2 million shares from the Vessel Seller, as further discussed in Note 10.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Founded in the United States (“US”) in 2001, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (“Sino-Global” or the “Company”) is a shipping agency, logistics and ship management services company. The Company’s current service offerings consist of shipping agency services, shipping and chartering services, inland transportation management services and ship management services. The Company conducts its business primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiaries in China, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada. Substantially all of the Company’s business is generated from clients located in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and its operations are primarily conducted in the PRC and Hong Kong.

The Company’s subsidiary in China, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), a wholly owned foreign enterprise, invested in one 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”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of local shipping agency service businesses, the Company provided its shipping agency services in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China” or “VIE”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate local shipping agency services in the PRC. 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. Through Sino-China, the Company has the ability to provide local shipping agency services in all commercial ports in the PRC. During fiscal year 2014, the Company completed a number of cost reduction initiatives and reorganized its shipping agency business in the PRC to improve its operating margin. In light of the Company’s decision not to pursue the local shipping agency business and as a result of the business reorganization efforts since approximately June 30, 2014, the Company no longer provides shipping agency services through its VIE structure and has not undertaken any business through or with Sino-China as of December 31, 2015 since approximately June 2014.

The Company’s shipping agency business is operated by its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Australia. The Company’s ship management services are operated by its subsidiary in Hong Kong. The Company’s shipping and chartering services are operated by its company in the US and subsidiaries in HK. The Company’s inland transportation management services are operated by its subsidiary in China.

LIQUIDITY [Abstract]

LIQUIDITY [Text Block]

Note 2. LIQUIDITY

As reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2015. Revenue from the Company’s shipping agency service business segment was in a decreasing trend due to higher overhead costs and decreased number of ships served. In addition, the Company terminated the vessel acquisition agreement during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 which reduced the Company’s revenue source from the shipping and chartering service segment.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue source in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company plans to fund continuing operations through spinning off its unprofitable business segment, identifying new prospective joint venture and strategic alliance opportunities for new revenue sources, financial support by major shareholders and cutting costs to improve profitability and replenish working capital.

Management believes that the foregoing measures collectively will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its future liquidity and capital obligations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

6 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Note 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K filed on September 18, 2015.

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant intercompany 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. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required to absorb such net loss. 

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

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results 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. 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 Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2015		2015
Total current assets	$	74,284	$	59,069
Total assets	$	181,877	$	189,499
Total current liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732
Total liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732

(c) Revenue Recognition Policy

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

· Revenues from shipping and chartering services are recognized upon performance of services as stipulated in the underlying contract.

· Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customer’s warehouse.

· Revenues from ship management services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

(d) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD”) while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada and Trans Pacific Beijing 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.

The exchange rates as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,		Six months ended December 31,				Three months ended December 31,
	2015		2015		2015		2014		2015		2014
Foreign currency		Balance Sheet		Balance Sheet		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss		Profits/Loss
RMB:1USD		6.4952		6.1988		6.3468		6.1565		6.3906		6.1484
1AUD:USD		1.3710		1.2986		1.3842		1.1262		1.3891		1.1705
1HKD:USD		7.7508		7.7520		7.7512		7.7534		7.7506		7.7557
1CAD:USD		1.3847		1.2475		1.3221		1.1126		1.3356		1.1362

(e) 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. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, cash balances of $233,678 and $65,191, respectively, maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

(f) 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 Receivable are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

(g) Earnings (deficit) per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect 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 per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

The effect of 66,000 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 as the exercise prices for such options and warrants were higher than the average market price for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(h) Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business, financial position 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 changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In 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. Moreover, the Company’s ability to grow its business and maintain its profitability could be negatively affected by the nature and extent of services provided to its major customer, Tianjin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”).

(i) Reclassifications

Other current liabilities in 2014 cash flows have been reclassified to taxes payable and other current liabilities to conform to the current period presentation.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets”. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (1) Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (2) Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (3) Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and. (4) Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Deferred tax assets, net - long-term	$	-	$	280,600

Our operations in the U.S. have incurred a cumulative net operating loss of approximately $7,252,000 and $5,591,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, which may reduce future taxable income. This carry-forward will expire if not utilized by 2035. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, major components of our deferred tax assets included net operating loss of our U.S entities, stock-based compensation and allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. Due to the termination of the proposed vessel acquisition in December 2015, management concluded that the chances for the Company’s U.S. entities to be profitable in the foreseeable future became remote, and accordingly 100% of the deferred tax assets balance has been provided a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 based on management’s estimate.

The Company’s taxes payable consists of the following:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2015		2015
VAT tax payable	$	418,823	$	296,935

Note 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In June 2013, the Company 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. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”) is owned by Mr. Zhang, the largest shareholder of the Company. In September 2013, the Company executed an inland transportation management service contract with the Zhiyuan Investment Group whereby it would provide certain advisory services and help control its potential commodities loss during the transportation process. As a result of the inland transportation management services provided to Zhiyuan, the net amount due from Zhiyuan Investment Group was $2,609,831 at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company continued to provide inland transportation management services to Zhiyuan and also collected approximately $1.1 million (RMB 7.4 million) from Zhiyuan to reduce the outstanding accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2015, the net amount due from Zhiyuan was $2,720,246. Management expects that such receivable will be substantially collected in 2016. 

At June 30, 2015, the Company was owed $174,759 from Sino-G Trading Inc. (“Sino-G”), an entity that is owned by the brother-in-law of the Company’s CEO. Sino-G previously served as a funds transfer agent for the Company’s services in Tianjin, PRC. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, management reassessed the collectability of such receivable due from Sino-G and concluded that the likelihood to collect such balance became doubtful since such amount has been past due for a long time. As a result, a 100% valuation allowance has been applied against this past due amount.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of a full year. The information in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s 2015 annual report on Form 10-K filed on September 18, 2015.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(b) Basis of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates. All significant intercompany 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. If Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year, the Company is not required to absorb such net loss. 

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

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s operating results 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. 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 Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,
	2015		2015
Total current assets	$	74,284	$	59,069
Total assets	$	181,877	$	189,499
Total current liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732
Total liabilities	$	24,902	$	19,732

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(c) Revenue Recognition Policy

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

· Revenues from shipping and chartering services are recognized upon performance of services as stipulated in the underlying contract.

· Revenues from inland transportation management services are recognized when commodities are being released from the customer’s warehouse.

· Revenues from ship management services are recognized when the related contractual services are rendered.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

(d) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including Sino-China and each of its branches are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar (“USD”) while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into USD using fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global Shipping Australia, Sino-Global Shipping Hong Kong, Sino-Global Shipping Canada and Trans Pacific Beijing 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.

The exchange rates as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and for the six and three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

	December 31,		June 30,		Six months ended December 31,				Three months ended December 31,
	2015		2015		2015		2014		2015		2014

1AUD:USD		1.3710		1.2986		1.3842		1.1262		1.3891		1.1705
1HKD:USD		7.7508		7.7520		7.7512		7.7534		7.7506		7.7557
1CAD:USD		1.3847		1.2475		1.3221		1.1126		1.3356		1.1362

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(e) 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. As of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, cash balances of $233,678 and $65,191, respectively, maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(f) 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 Receivable are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(g) Earnings (deficit) per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share reflect 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 per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

The effect of 66,000 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 as the exercise prices for such options and warrants were higher than the average market price for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block]

(h) Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s business, financial position 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 changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things. In 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. Moreover, the Company’s ability to grow its business and maintain its profitability could be negatively affected by the nature and extent of services provided to its major customer, Tianjin Zhi Yuan Investment Group Co., Ltd. (the “Zhiyuan Investment Group”).

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(i) Reclassifications

Other current liabilities in 2014 cash flows have been reclassified to taxes payable and other current liabilities to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

(j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheets”. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (1) Requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (2) Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (3) Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and. (4) Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
