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. In this report, the terms “we,” “the Company,” “our company,” and “our” refer to Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., a Virginia corporation. 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

We are a shipping agency service provider for foreign ships coming to Chinese ports. Our principal geographic market is in the PRC. As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of shipping agency service businesses, we operate our business in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency, Ltd. (“Sino-China”), a PRC limited liability company wholly owned by our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Cao Lei, and Chief Financial Officer, Zhang Mingwei, both of whom are PRC citizens. Sino-China holds the licenses and permits necessary to provide shipping services in the PRC. Headquartered in Beijing with eight branches in Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Fangchenggang, Yantai, Yingkou and Zhoushan, we provide general shipping agency services in all 76 ports in China.

On November 13, 2007, we formed our wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific Beijing”), in Beijing, which established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai, Limited (“Trans Pacific Shanghai” and, together with Trans Pacific Beijing, “Trans Pacific”), in Shanghai on May 31, 2009. This increases our presence to nine ports in mainland China and will enable us to provide a full range of shipping agency services as well as freight forwarder services.

Trans Pacific and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary relationship. Instead, each of Trans Pacific Beijing and us has contractual arrangements with Sino-China and its shareholders that enable us to substantially control Sino-China. See “Our Corporate Structure - Contractual Arrangements with Sino-China and its Shareholders.”

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

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

Following the initial public offering, our Board authorized a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 10% of our outstanding common stock for a period of 12 months, which began October 9, 2008. In September 2009, our Board approved to extend the stock repurchase program for another six months ending April 2010. As of September 30, 2009, we repurchased 106,100 shares of our common stock from the open market at an average price of $2.87 per share including trading expenses. The total cost of stock repurchase is $304,184.

Revenues

For the first quarter ended September 30, 2009, our total revenues amounted to approximately $6.24 million, representing a 22.48% increase from our total revenues of $5.10 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. We expect our top line growth will continue along with the economy recovery in China and around the world.

Our total revenues are net of PRC business taxes and related surcharges. Sino-China’s revenues are subject to a 5% business tax as well as an additional 0.5% surcharge after deducting the cost of revenues. We deduct these amounts from our gross revenues to arrive at our total revenues.

We charge the shipping agency fees in two ways: (1) the fixed fees are predetermined with a customer, and (2) the cost-plus fees are calculated based on the actual costs incurred plus a mark up. We generally require payments in advance from customers and bill them the balances within 30 days after the transactions are completed.

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

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

• the size and types of ships we serve;

• the rate of service fees we charge;

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

• the number of customers we serve.

Historically, our services have primarily been driven by the increase in the number of ships and customers, provided that the rate of service fees is determined by market competition. We believe that an increase in the number of ports served generally leads to an increase in the number of ships and customers. We expect that we will continue to earn a substantial majority of our revenues from our shipping agency services. As a result, we plan to continue to focus most of our resources on expanding our business to cover more ports in the PRC. In addition, we will allocate our resources in marketing our brand to customers, including ship owners and charters, which transport goods from all ports around the world to China.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Our operating costs and expenses consist of cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, selling expenses and other expenses. Our company’s total operating costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 mainly due to our tightened budget control over general and administrative expenses. The following table sets forth the components of our company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated.

	For the three months ended September 30,
	2009						2008				Change
	$			%			$		%		$			%
Revenues		6,244,808			100.00			5,098,677		100.00		1,146,131			22.48

Costs and expenses
Cost of revenues		5,443,464			87.17			4,506,565		88.39		936,899			20.79
General and administrative		858,421			13.75			1,017,750		19.96		(159,329	)		(15.66	)
Selling		46,696			0.75			95,028		1.86		(48,332	)		(50.86	)
Other expense (income)		(53,610	)		(0.86	)		2,997		0.06		(56,607	)		(1,888.79	)
Total costs and expenses		6,294,971			100.81			5,622,340		110.27		672,631			11.96

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues represents the expenses incurred in the periods when a ship docks in a harbor to load and unload cargo. We typically pay the cost of revenues on behalf of our customers. We receive revenues from our clients in U.S. dollars and pay the cost of revenues to the Chinese local port agents in RMB. As such, the cost of revenues will change if the foreign currency exchange rates change. Our cost of revenues could also increase if the ports were to raise their charges, particularly in the case of overtime payments during the public holidays. Our cost of revenues as a percentage of our total revenues, slightly decreased from 88.39% to 87.17% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The exchange rate of U.S. dollars against the Chinese RMB is relatively stable during the period.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for our staff, both operating and administrative personnel, depreciation expenses, office rental expenses and expenses for legal, accounting and other professional services. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our total revenues decreased from 19.96% to 13.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. We believe our budget control efforts had a positive effect on improving our operating results, in spite of large expenses associated with our business expansion and company public listing expenses.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses primarily consist of commissions and traveling expenses for our operating staff to the ports at which we provide services. In line with our tightened budget, our selling expenses decreased in both absolute amount and as a percentage of our total net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to our efforts in controlling business promotion and travel expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare the 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.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the value of charges for the services in the ordinary course of our company’s activities and disbursements made on behalf of customers. Revenues are recognized from shipping agency services upon completion of the services, which generally coincides with the date of departure of the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as current liabilities.

Some contracts are signed with a term that revenues are recognized as a mark up of actual expenses incurred. In a situation where the services are completed but the information on the actual expenses is not available at the end of the fiscal period, we estimate revenues and expenses based on our previous experience for the revenues of the same kind of vessels, port charges on the vessel’s particulars/movement and costs rate of the port. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Accounts Receivable.”

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity

Sino-China is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and we are the primary beneficiary. On November 14, 2007, our company through Trans Pacific entered into agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which we receive 90% of Sino-China’s net income. We do not receive any payment from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle us to any consideration if Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. In accordance with the agreements, Sino-China pays consulting and marketing fees equal to 85% and 5%, respectively, of its net income to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific, and Trans Pacific supplies the technology and personnel needed to service Sino-China. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the benefit of our company.

The accounts of Sino-China are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10 “Consolidation”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in our total sales, and its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with our company’s. 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.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued accounting guidance regarding noncontrolling interests. The guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary or affiliate and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or affiliate. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary or affiliate is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated balance sheets and to separately report the amounts attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations and changes in equity for all periods presented. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2009, and as a result, it has reclassified financial statement line items for the prior period to conform with this standard.

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. We have determined that an allowance of $723,640 was required at September 30, 2009, which is no change from the amount at June 30, 2009.

When a client requests our shipping agency services, we communicate with port officials and our service partners rely on our prior experience for similar vessels with similar needs in the same ports to obtain an estimate for the cost of services. We then calculate our shipping agency fees in two ways: (1) the fixed fees are predetermined with a customer, and (2) the cost-plus fees are calculated based on the actual costs incurred plus a mark up.

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

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

Taxation

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

We follow the provision 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. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2009, we recognized current deferred tax assets of $319,000 and non-current tax liabilities of $2,000. We have determined that no allowance for deferred tax assets should be provided because we believe we will be able to realize and recognize these deferred tax assets in the near future.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. Sino-China and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the amendment of Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Their taxable incomes are subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25%.

PRC Business Tax

Revenues from services provided by Sino-China and Trans Pacific are subject to PRC business tax of 5% and additional surcharges of 0.5%. We pay business tax on gross revenues generated from our shipping agency services minus the cost of revenues, which are paid on behalf of our customers.

Future Growth and Earnings Expectations

The financial crisis has severely damaged the world economy in general and the shipping industry in particular. In addition to general economic uncertainty, we have been affected by uncertainty in China’s steel manufacturing industry. We are one of the major shipping agency service providers for China’s iron ore shipments. Over 75% of our 2009 revenues were associated with iron ore imports. As of the filing of this report, Chinese steel makers and the world’s major suppliers of iron ore have not yet reached an agreement on 2009 iron ore prices, creating an uncertain situation on iron ore imports into China.

Results of Operations

Due to the economic uncertainties associated with the world wide financial crisis. Past operating results are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Revenues. Our total revenues increased by 22.48% from $5,098,677 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $6,244,808 in the comparable three months in 2009. The number of ships that generated revenues for us increased from 61 in the three months ended September 30, 2008, to 68 in the three months ended September 30, 2009, representing an increase of 11.48%.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses increased by 11.96% from $5,622,340 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $6,294,971 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily due to increases in our cost of revenues, offset by the decrease of our general and administrative expenses.

Cost of Revenues. Our cost of revenues increased by 20.79% from $4,506,565 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $5,443,464 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of revenues increased more slowly than revenues, resulting in a higher gross margin, which was 11.61% and 12.83% for the comparative three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The foreign exchange rate of Chinese currency against the U.S. dollar remained relatively stable during the period. The average foreign exchange rate decreased from RMB6.8376 to $1.00 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to RMB6.8309 to $1.00 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 15.66% from $1,017,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 to $858,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease resulted in part from (1) decreased expenses of $45,682 in provision for doubtful accounts, (2) reduced travel and car related expenses of $46,027, (3) a decrease of $39,787 in salaries and human resource expenses due to staffing changes, and (4) a decrease of $78,643 in office rent and office supplies. On the other hand, we spent $46,725 more on legal fees, audit fees, investor relations, Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(a) compliance and other expenses related to being a public company. We expect our general and administrative expenses will increase in the near term as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b) compliance and business expansion. Meanwhile, we continue to focus on tightening our budget and reducing non-operating expenses.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses decreased by 50.86% from $95,028 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 to $46,696 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, due to our efforts in controlling business promotion and travel expenses.

Operating Loss. We had an operating loss of $50,163 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to operating loss of $523,663 for the comparable three months in 2008. We believe this change marks the beginning of our return to profitability, as we have improved our gross margins and reduced general and administrative expenses and selling expenses.

Financial Income, Net. Our net financial income was $169,433 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to our net financial income of $15,759 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The net financial income for 2009 largely represents interest income from deposits in banks and the foreign exchange translation gains recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Taxation. Our income tax expenses were $174,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $72,630 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. These expenses include the current provision for income tax of $132,000 and deferred taxes of $42,000 in the USA. As our China operations generated losses, we did not estimate an income tax provision for Sino-China. For further details, see Note 10 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $14,647 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net loss of $580,534 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. After deduction of non-controlling interest in loss, our net income attributable to Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd. was $95,574 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $430,233 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows and Working Capital

We have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations and cash derived from our initial public offering. As of September 30, 2009, we had $6,554,016 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $317,517 was held by Sino-China. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on hand and cash in banks.

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

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,
	2009			2008
	$			$
Net cash used in operating activities		(675,551	)		(160,411	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(904	)		(144,800	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(18,282	)		(6,535	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(705,638	)		(302,958	)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		7,259,654			9,603,250
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		6,554,016			9,300,292

Operating Activities

Since May 2003, we began to expand our business by setting up additional branches throughout China. As of September 30, 2009, we had nine branches and subsidiaries conducting our shipping agency and logistic services in China and three operating offices in the USA, Australia and Hong Kong. Our sales continued to increase and our gross margin was moderately improved. Net cash used in operating activities was $675,551 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $160,411 for the comparable three months in 2008. The increase of net cash used in operating activities is mainly attributable to (1) an increase in advances to suppliers of $1,191,391, (2) a decrease of other current liabilities of $420,577 and (3) a decrease in advances from customers. This was offset by the decrease in accounts receivable of $689,263 and the increase in accounts payable of $313,651.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $904 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $144,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. These amounts were used for capital expenditures, representing 0.01% and 2.84% of our total revenues, respectively. Facing the worldwide financial crisis, we substantially reduced our capital spending.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $18,282, the amount to repurchase 6,100 shares of our outstanding common stock from the open market during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

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

Company Structure

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”), a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The Codification, which was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) and related literature. The Codification replaces the GAAP hierarchy contained in SFAS No. 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date of this statement all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards are superseded. The adoption of this accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This statement is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” an amendment to SFAS 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.” The statement defines the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of financial assets as a sale and improves financial reporting by eliminating (a) the exception for qualifying special-purpose entities from consolidation guidance and (b) the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when a transferor has not surrendered control over the transferred financial assets. The statement is effective for annual reports for years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 7, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments to FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, permit vendors to account for products and services separately rather than as a combined unit. Any vendor who enters into multiple-deliverable arrangements with customers that are covered by Subtopic 605-25 will be affected, the FASB said. As a result of the changes, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing guidance. With the changes to Subtopic 605-25, the FASB is eliminating the residual method of allocation and instead requiring entities to allocate the arrangement consolidation at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. Vendors will be required to determine their best estimate of the selling price consistently with the method they use to determine the selling price when the good or service is sold separately. The changes in ASU No. 2009-13 will be effective for revenue arrangements that begin or are changed in fiscal years that start June 15, 2010, or later. Entities that adopt the changes before then will have to apply them to their results from the beginning of their fiscal years. The adoption of this accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 26, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, to clarify how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2009-05 reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Therefore, preparers, investors, and other users of financial statements will have a better understanding of how the fair value of liabilities was measured, helping to improve consistency in the application of Topic 820. The FASB issued ASU 2009-05 as a result of expressed concern that there may be a lack of observable market information to measure the fair value of a liability. For example, in the hypothetical transfer of an asset subject to a restriction there will be no observable data available to measure the liability because it is restricted from being transferred. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The adoption of this accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on our company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

SINO-GLOBAL SHIPPING AMERICA, LTD. AND AFFILIATE

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (the “Company”), previously known as Sino-Global-Shipping (America) Ltd., was incorporated under section 402 of the Business Corporation Laws of the United States of America in New York on February 2, 2001.

On September 18, 2007, the Company amended the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to merge into a new Corporation, Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. in Virginia.

The Company’s principal geographic market is in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership of shipping agency service businesses, the Company provides its services in the PRC through Sino-Global Shipping Agency Ltd. (“Sino-China”), a Chinese legal entity, which holds the licenses and permits necessary to operate shipping services in the PRC. Sino-China is located in Beijing with eight branches in Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Zhoushan, Fangchenggang, Yantai and Yingkou. On November 13, 2007, the Company formed a wholly owned foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific”), in Beijing, which established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans Pacific Logistics Shanghai, Limited (“Trans Pacific”), in Shanghai on May 31, 2009. This increases the Company's presence to nine ports in mainland China as of June 30, 2009 and will enable the Company to provide a full range of shipping agency services as well as freight forwarder services.

Trans Pacific and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary relationship. Instead, Trans Pacific operates with Sino-China through a variety of contractual agreements as described in Note 2(a).

With a purpose of building up an international shipping agency service network, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sino-Global Shipping Australia Pty Ltd. (“Sino-Global AUS”) in Australia on July 3, 2008, which signed an agreement with Monson Agencies Australia (“Monson”), one of the largest shipping agency service providers in Australia. Through Monson, the Company is able to provide general shipping agency services to all ports in Australia.

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

The Company is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on May 20, 2008.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

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

Sino-China is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. On November 14, 2007, the Company through Trans Pacific entered into agreements with Sino-China, pursuant to which the Company receives 90% of Sino-China’s net income. The Company does not receive any payment from Sino-China unless Sino-China recognizes net income during its fiscal year. These agreements do not entitle the Company to any consideration if Sino-China incurs a net loss during its fiscal year. In accordance with these agreements, Sino-China pays consulting and marketing fees equal to 85% and 5%, respectively, of its net income to the Company’s wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Trans Pacific, and Trans Pacific supplies the technology and personnel needed to service Sino-China. Sino-China was designed to operate in China for the benefit of the Company.

The accounts of Sino-China are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, “Consolidation”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, and its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with the Company’s. Because of the contractual arrangements, the Company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of the Company’s and Sino-China’s financial statements.

The Company has consolidated Sino-China’s income because the entities are under common control in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”. For this reason, the Company has included 90% of Sino-China’s net income in the Company’s net income as discussed above as though the 2007 agreements were in effect from the inception of Sino-China, and only the 10% of Sino-China’s net income not paid to the Company represents the non-controlling interest in Sino-China’s income.

F-6

(b) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value based on market rates and terms currently available to the Company.

The Company decided not to elect the fair value option as prescribed by ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for its financial assets and liabilities.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of property and equipment and unearned compensation.

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

(d) Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of the Company and 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 US dollars (“$”) while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi (“RMB”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into US dollars using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company translates foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Sino-Global AUS, Sino-Global HK and Trans Pacific in accordance with ASC 830-10, “Foreign Currency Matters”. Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated as a separate component of shareholders’ equity of the Company and also included in Non-controlling interest.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, and other highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC, Australia, Hong Kong and the United States. Cash balances in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations.

F-7

(f) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Historical cost comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the assets to its working condition and location for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings	20 years
Motor vehicles	5-10 years
Furniture and office equipment	3-5 years

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

(g) Revenue recognition

The Company charges shipping agency fees in two ways: (1) fixed fees that are predetermined with the customer, and (2) cost-plus fees that are calculated based on the actual costs incurred plus a markup. The Company generally requires payments in advance from customers and bills them on the balance within 30 days after the transactions are completed. Revenues are recognized from shipping agency services upon completion of services, which coincides with the date of departure of the relevant vessel from port. Advance payments and deposits received from customers prior to the provision of services and recognition of the related revenues are presented as current liabilities.

Some contracts contain a provision stating that revenues are recognized for actual expenses incurred plus a profit margin. When the services are completed but the information on the actual expenses is not available at the end of the fiscal period, we estimate revenues and expenses based on our previous experience with similar vessels and port charges.

In accordance with ASC 405-45, the Company reports its revenue on the gross amounts billed to customers based on several criteria: (1) the Company assumes all credit risk for the amounts billed to customers, (2) the Company has multiple suppliers for services ordered by customers and discretion to select the supplier that provides the services, and (3) the Company determines the nature, type or specifications of the services ordered by customers and the Company is responsible for fulfilling these services.

(h) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at net realizable value. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectibility of individual balances. In evaluating the collectibility of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Receivables are considered past due after 365 days. Because of the worldwide financial crisis, the Company has difficulties in collecting cash from some of its customers. In accordance with the accounting policies, management has determined that an allowance of $723,640 was required at September 30 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

F-8

(i) Taxation

Because the Company and Sino-China are incorporated in different jurisdictions, they file separate income tax returns. The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with US GAAP. Deferred taxes, if any, are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company follows 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, the Company 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 the Company. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. Sino-China and Trans Pacific are registered in PRC and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Their taxable incomes were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% in accordance with the amendment of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC that became effective on January 1, 2008.

F-9

PRC Business Tax and Surcharges

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

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

Sino-China has complied with ASC 405-50 and reports its revenues net of PRC’s business tax and surcharges for all the periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(j) Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares. Convertible, redeemable preferred shares, if any, are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share on an “if converted” basis, when the impact is dilutive. Contingent exercise price resets are accounted for in a manner similar to contingently issuable shares. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

ASC 260-10 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted per share information:

	September 30,
	2009		2008
Numerator:
Net income (loss) attributable to Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd.	$	95,574	$	(430,233	)

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		2,926,245		2,247,839
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants		267,032		-
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution		3,193,277		2,247,839

(k) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications between Financial Income (Expense), Net and Non-Operating Revenues have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on the Company’s net loss in the prior quarter.

(l) Subsequent Events

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by management and the board of directors and were issued on November 13, 2009. Management has evaluated subsequent events through this date.

(m) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (the “Codification”), a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” . The Codification, which was launched on July 1, 2009, became the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) and related literature. The Codification replaces the GAAP hierarchy contained in SFAS No. 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All other literature is considered non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date of this statement all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards are superseded.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. SFAS No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation 46(R) to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and requires ongoing qualitative reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This statement is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2009 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On October 7, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments to FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements, permit vendors to account for products and services separately rather than as a combined unit. Any vendor who enters into multiple-deliverable arrangements with customers that are covered by Subtopic 605-25 will be affected. As a result of the changes, multiple-deliverable arrangements will be separated in more circumstances than under existing guidance. With the changes to Subtopic 605-25, the FASB is eliminating the residual method of allocation and instead requiring entities to allocate the arrangement consolidation at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. Vendors will be required to determine their best estimate of the selling price consistently with the method they use to determine the selling price when the good or service is sold separately. The changes in ASU No. 2009-13 will be effective for revenue arrangements that begin or are changed in fiscal years that start June 15, 2010, or later. Entities that adopt the changes before then will have to apply them to their results from the beginning of their fiscal years. The adoption of this accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

F-11

On August 26, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, to clarify how entities should estimate the fair value of liabilities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2009-05 reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Therefore, preparers, investors, and other users of financial statements will have a better understanding of how the fair value of liabilities was measured, helping to improve consistency in the application of Topic 820. The FASB issued ASU 2009-05 as a result of expressed concern that there may be a lack of observable market information to measure the fair value of a liability. For example, in the hypothetical transfer of an asset subject to a restriction there will be no observable data available to measure the liability because it is restricted from being transferred. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The adoption of this accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
