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

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

Overview

We are a shipping agency service provider for foreign ships coming to Chinese ports. Our company, previously known as Sino-Global-Shipping (America) Ltd., was incorporated in New York in February 2001. On September 18, 2007, we amended the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to merge into a new corporation with the current name of Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd., in Virginia.

Our principal geographic market is in the PRC. As PRC laws and regulations prohibit or 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 six branches in Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Fangchenggang and Zhoushan, we provide general shipping agency services in 76 ports in China.

On November 13, 2007, we formed our wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific, in Beijing. Trans Pacific and Sino-China do not have a parent-subsidiary relationship. Instead, each of Trans Pacific 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.”

On May 20, 2008, we completed an initial public offering of 1,229,032 ordinary shares at a $7.75 offering price. Our shares started trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market the next day.

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, 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.

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. As of December 31, 2008, we repurchased 55,100 shares of our common stock from the open market at an average price of $2.88 per share including trading expenses.

Revenues

For the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2008, our total revenues amounted to approximately $9.57 million and $4.47 million, respectively. 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 costs of services. 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 services, general and administrative expenses, selling expenses and other expenses. Our company’s total operating costs and expenses increased as a percentage of total revenues for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2008 mainly due to the increased value of the Chinese RMB against the U.S. dollar. Our general and administrative expenses also increased significantly during the six and three month periods ended December 31, 2008, compared to those expenses for the same periods in 2007. This is largely due to increased personnel expenses, public company listing expenses and business expansion. The following table sets forth the components of our company’s costs and expenses for the periods indicated.

	For the six months ended December 31,

Total costs and expenses		5,351,578	119.61		3,895,468	93.72		1,456,110	37.38

Costs of Services. Costs of services represent the expenses incurred in the periods when a ship docks in a harbor to load and unload cargo. We typically pay the costs of services on behalf of our customers. We receive revenues from our clients in U.S. dollars and pay the costs of services to the Chinese local port agents in RMB. As such, the costs of services will change if the foreign currency exchange rates change. Our costs of services could also increase if the ports were to raise their charges, particularly in the case of overtime payments during the public holidays. Our costs of services, as a percentage of our total revenues, increased from 80.23% to 89.44% for the six months and from 79.08% to 90.65% for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This is in line with the devaluation of U.S. dollars against the Chinese RMB in the same periods.

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. Our general and administrative expenses increased significantly in the first six months of the 2009 fiscal year due to expenses spent on setting up Sino-Global HK and a new branch in Zhoushan for Sino-China, recruitment of new personnel, spending on travel and publicity. We have incurred additional general and administrative expenses as we have expanded our operations and begun to operate as a publicly listed company in the United States.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses primarily consist of commissions and traveling expenses for our operating staff to the ports at which we provide services. Our selling expenses increased in both absolute amount and as a percentage of our total net revenues for the six and three months ended December 31, 2008, mainly due to the increase in the number of ports we served in China and overseas.

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.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. Sino-China is registered as a PRC domestic company and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Its taxable incomes are subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33%. The 5th Session of the 10th National People’s Congress amended the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC that became effective on January 1, 2008. The newly amended Enterprise Income Tax Law introduces a wide range of changes which include, but are not limited to, the unification of the income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises at 25%. This change has reduced our income tax rate from 33% to 25% since January 1, 2008. In addition, according to the amended detailed implementation and administrative rules, the new income tax law broadens the tax reductions in terms of categories and extents for the domestic companies. We expect that the new income tax law will bring with it a positive impact on our company’s net profit in 2009 and onwards.

PRC Business Tax

Revenues from services provided by Sino-China 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 costs of services, which are paid on behalf of our customers.

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 Entities

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

The accounts of Sino-China are consolidated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in our total sales, its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with our company’s, and our net income (loss) from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in income (loss) includes all of Sino-China’s net income (loss). Our non-controlling interest in its income (loss) is then subtracted in calculating the net income (loss) attributable to our company. Because of the contractual arrangements, our company had a pecuniary interest in Sino-China that requires consolidation of our and Sino-China’s financial statements.

Mr. Cao Lei owned more than 70% of both Sino-China and our company before completion of the offering and was able to cause our company and Sino-China to enter into the 2007 agreements at any point in time. Accordingly, for all periods presented, our company has consolidated Sino-China’s income because the entities are under common control in accordance with SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”. For this reason, we have included 90% of Sino-China’s net income in our 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 our company represents the non-controlling interest in Sino-China’s income.

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 $2,893 was required at December 31, 2008. For the six months ended December 31, 2008, management wrote off uncollected accounts of $45,815.

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 Costs of Services in accordance with the rate and formulas approved by the Ministry of Communications. When this happens, we record the difference between Service Revenues (as recognized) and Advances from Customers as Accounts Receivable and the difference between Cost of Services and Advances to Suppliers as Accounts Payable. To the extent we recognize revenues and costs in this way, our Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable will reflect this estimation until we receive the bills and information we require to adjust revenues and expenses to reflect our actual Service Revenues and Cost of Services. Any adjustment to actual from the estimated Revenues and Cost of Services recorded has been and is expected to be immaterial.

Property and Equipment

We state property and equipment at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Historical cost consists of its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. We provide for depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to expense the related cost of depreciable assets for operations over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:

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

We calculate gains and losses on disposals by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount of the related assets and include these gains and losses in the consolidated statements of operations. We consider the carrying value of a long-lived asset to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is less than its carrying value. If an impairment is identified, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or based on independent appraisals. We have determined that there were no impairments for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

Translation of Foreign Currency

The accounts of our 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”). Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, while Sino-China reports its financial position and results of operations in Renminbi. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars using the fixed exchange rates in effect at the time of the transaction. Generally foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. We translate foreign currency financial statements of Sino-China, Trans Pacific, Sino-Global HK and Sino-Global AUS in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. 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 equity included in non-controlling interest.

2009 Growth Expectation

We expected that our 2009 revenues would increase about 50% to 65% from the 2008 fiscal year, reaching total revenues ranging from $22.64 million to $24.89 million for the 2009 fiscal year. For the first six months ended December 31, 2008, we achieved total revenues of $9.57 million, about 38% of our 2009 fiscal year target, or about 12% lower than our prorated expectation for the first half of the 2009 fiscal year.

The financial crisis has brought with it a severely negative impact upon the world economy in general and to China’s economy in particular. We began to experience significant economic decline starting in October 2008, due to a reduction in the amount of goods from overseas imported by Chinese companies. It is difficult to anticipate whether the situation will turn around or continue to deteriorate in the second half of the 2009 fiscal year.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. Our business has evolved rapidly since we commenced operations in 2001. Due to the economic uncertainties associated with the world wide financial crisis, it is difficult for us to predict future operating results. We believe that period-to-period comparisons of operating results should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2007

Revenues. Our total revenues increased by 7.66% from $4,156,244 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $4,474,518 for the comparable three months in 2008. The number of ships that generated revenues for us increased from 44 to 47 for the comparable three months in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Following the onset of the worldwide financial crisis, the number of ships carrying imported goods to China declined significantly. However, despite the financial crisis, we were able to achieve a slight increase in total revenues for the period. Our Australian office provided services to 9 of the 47 vessels which we provided services to in the three months ended December 31, 2008.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses increased by 37.38% from $3,895,468 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $5,351,578 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in our costs of services and in our general and administrative expenses.

Cost of Services. Our cost of services increased by 23.40% from $3,286,940 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $4,055,949 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Costs of services increased faster than revenues, resulting in a 11.57% decrease in gross margin from 20.92% down to 9.35% for the three months comparative periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This is largely due to the revaluation of Chinese currency against the U.S. dollar. The average foreign exchange rate increased by 8.64%, from RMB7.4300 to $1.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to RMB6.8390 to $1.00 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Costs of services also increased because of overtime payments made to local ports during the Chinese National Day holiday in October.

	Ÿ	General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 105.28% from $562,984 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $1,155,706 for the comparable three months in 2008. This change was primarily due to (1) an increase of $147,802 in salaries and human resource expenses for our staff, (2) an increase of $235,377 spent on legal fees, audit fees, investor relations and other expenses for our company’s public listing, (3) an increase of $60,551 in renting more office space for our offices in China and overseas, (4) an increase of $71,417 in travel for business development, (5) an increase of $11,200 in professional services such as capital verification, accounting and tax advice and legal advice for our business expansion in China and overseas, and (6) $31,728 for development of the new management information system. Our general and administrative expenses will increase in the near term as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance and business expansion. Meanwhile, we continue to focus on tightening our budget and reducing non-operating expenses.
	Ÿ	Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by 214.16% from $45,091 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 to $141,660 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, due to the increase of business promotion and travel expenses, and the expenses for our Hong Kong and Australian offices.

Operating Profit (Loss). We had an operating loss of $877,060 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to operating income of $260,776 in the same three month period in 2007. Operating income decreased 436.33% largely due to the increase in costs of services and general and administrative expenses.

Financial Income, Net. Our net financial expense was $90,312 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to our net financial income of $66,651 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The net financial income comes largely from interest income from the money deposits in banks, mitigated by the foreign exchange losses recognized in financial statement consolidation. As described in the above “Translation of Foreign Currency”, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Our funds deposited in Australian dollars contributed in large part to the foreign currency exchange losses.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in loss of $1,121,038 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in income of $416,074 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. After deduction of non-controlling interest in income (loss) and income taxes (benefit), net loss was $901,346 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income of $367,821 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2007

Revenues. Our total revenues increased by 17.55% from $8,144,189 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $9,573,195 for the comparable six months in 2008. The number of ships that generated revenues for us decreased from 123 to 108 for the comparable six months in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Since the onset of the financial crisis, the number of ships carrying imported goods to China declined significantly, from 61 vessels in the first quarter down to 47 vessels in the second quarter of the 2008 fiscal year. Of the 108 vessels that we provided services to during the six months ended December 31, 2008, 9 vessels were contributed by our Australia office.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses increased by 45.59% from $7,537,446 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $10,973,918 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to increases in our costs of services and in our general and administrative expenses.

Cost of Services. Our cost of services increased by 31.04% from $6,534,171 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $8,562,514 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. Costs of services increased faster than revenues, resulting in a 9.21% decrease in gross margin from 19.77% down to 10.56% for the six months comparative periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This is largely due to the revaluation of Chinese currency against the U.S. dollar. The average foreign exchange rate increased by 9.52%, from RMB7.4894 to $1.00 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to RMB6.8384 to $1.00 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

	Ÿ	General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 139.23% from $908,511 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $2,173,456 for the comparable six months in 2008. This increase was primarily due to (1) an increase of $346,186 in salaries and human resource expenses for our staff, (2) an increase of $426,694 in legal fees, audit fees, investor relations and other expenses for our company’s public listing, (3) an increase of $156,828 in renting additional office space for our offices in China and overseas, (4) an increase of $103,690 in travel for business development, (5) an increase of $63,498 in professional services such as capital verification, accounting and tax advice and legal advice for our business expansion in China and overseas, and (6) $31,728 for development of the new management information system. Our general and administrative expenses will increase in the near term as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance and business expansion. Meanwhile, we continue to focus on tightening our budget and reducing non-operating expenses.
	Ÿ	Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by 151.15% from $94,242 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 to $236,688 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, due to an increase in business promotion and travel expenses, and the expenses for our Hong Kong and Australia offices.

Operating Profit (Loss). We had an operating loss of $1,400,723 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to operating income of $606,743 for the same six month period in 2007. Operating income decreased 330.86% largely due to the increase in costs of services and general and administrative expenses.

Financial Income, Net. Our net financial expense was $74,553 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to our net financial income of $42,574 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The net financial income comes largely from interest income from money deposits in banks, mitigated by the foreign exchange losses recognized in the financial statement consolidation. As described in the above “Translation of Foreign Currency”, foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Our funds deposited in Australian dollars contributed in large part to foreign currency exchange losses.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in loss of $1,701,572 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in income of $618,576 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. After deduction of non-controlling interest in income (loss) and income taxes, net loss was $1,331,579 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net income of $558,539 for the six months ended December 31, 2007.

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 December 31, 2008, we had $7,708,539 in cash and cash equivalents, of which $224,239 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 six months ended December 31,
	2008			2007
	US$			US$
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		(1,548,172	)		753,886
Net cash used in investing activities		(183,718	)		(197,980	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(172,367	)		(45,791	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(1,894,711	)		455,151
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year		9,603,250			526,091
Cash and cash equivalents at end of year		7,708,539			981,242

Operating Activities

Since May 2003, we began to expand our business by setting up additional branches throughout China. As of December 31, 2008, we had six branch offices conducting our shipping agency services in China and three operating offices in the USA, Australia and Hong Kong. Our sales continued to increase for the six months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007, but our gross margin declined, which was mainly attributable to the increased costs of services that resulted from the RMB revaluation. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,548,172 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $753,886 for the six months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease of net cash in operating activities is mainly attributable to several factors, including (i) a net loss of $1,331,579 and a non-controlling interest in income loss of $369,993, (ii) an increase in accounts receivable of $979,662 and (3) a decrease in advance payments from customers of $946,971. This was mitigated by the increase in accounts payable of $2,149,337.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $183,718 compared to that of $197,980 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We made capital expenditures of $183,718 and $197,702 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, representing 1.92% and 2.43% of our total revenues, respectively. We expect that our capital expenditures will increase in the near term as our business continues to grow and as we improve our financial and accounting systems and infrastructure.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $172,367 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, of which $158,624 was used to repurchase 55,100 of our outstanding shares of common stock from the open market.

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. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The sale of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute our shareholders. The incurrence of debt would divert cash from working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, our business, operations and prospects may suffer.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We have leased certain office premises under operating leases. In December 2007, we leased additional office premises under two leases which were set to expire January 13, 2010 for approximately $317,000 per year. These two leases were terminated in December 2008 and were replaced by a new lease which expires in January 2010 for approximately $61,000 a year. In October and November 2008, the Company leased four apartments for its employees which expire in November 2009 for approximately $16,000 a year. In August 2008, we leased one apartment and an additional office for operating in Perth, Australia, which expire August 30, 2009 for $25,675 per year and August 31, 2009 for $27,305 per year, respectively. We leased one office in Zhoushan, China which expires July 31, 2011 for $27,866 for the total three year lease. In October 2008, the Company leased one office for operating in Hong Kong, which expires September 30, 2010 for $9,288 per year. In November 2008, the Company leased one apartment in Hong Kong, which expires November 14, 2009 for $12,075 per year.

Below is a summary of our company’s contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2008:

	Payment Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		More than 3 years
Contractual Obligations
Operating leases	$	551,439	$	347,240	$	204,199	$	—
Long-term debt	$	53,691	$	29,740	$	23,951	$	—
Total Obligations	$	605,130	$	376,980	$	228,150	$	—

The Labor Contract Law of the PRC, effective as of January 1, 2008, requires employers to assure the liability of severance payments if employees are terminated and have been working for their employers for at least two years prior to January 1, 2008. The employers will be liable for one month of severance pay for each year of service provided by the employees. As of December 31, 2008, our company has estimated its severance payments to be approximately $164,000, which has not been reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 Trans Pacific and management fees paid by Sino-China. If Trans Pacific incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing its debt may restrict its 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. This capital requirement was met as of December 31, 2008.

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. See “Risk Factor - We may not pay dividends”, “Risk Factor - Changes in China’s political and economic policies could harm our business” and “Dividend Policy”.

On November 13, 2007, we established a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific, with registered capital of $100,000. Under the current regulations in China, we can only transfer the funds raised from the initial public offering into China through Trans Pacific. Therefore, with Board approval, we applied to SAFE to increase Trans Pacific’s registered capital to $10 million. Our application for an increase in registered capital was approved in August 2008. In accordance with the requirements of the China’s Company Law, a company could invest 20% of its registered capital within three months after the government’s approval date and the balance of the registered capital in two years. Accordingly, we injected $2.9 million to Trans Pacific in 2008, increasing its registered capital from $100,000 to $3 million. The increased registered capital will be used to implement our strategic plan specified in our Registration Statement for the initial public offering.

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 December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”, which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited, and, accordingly, the Company has not yet adopted SFAS 160. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 160; the Company believes the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated shareholders’ equity. The Company’s shareholders’ equity will increase or decrease by the amount of the non-controlling interest currently reported outside of equity. However, the adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s net income or loss.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides key considerations in determining fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The delayed portions of SFAS No. 157 will be adopted by our company beginning July 1, 2010, as permitted. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities on July 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emergence Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”. EITF Issue No. 07-05 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. EITF Issue No. 07-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption for an existing instrument is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-05 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Previously, our exposure to interest rate risk primarily related to the interest income generated by excess cash invested in demand deposits and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. On August 29, 2008, China’s SAFE imposed a new rule, Hui Zong Fa (2008) No. 142, which further tightens foreign investments into China and the use of these funds in investment in China. As such, we have to deposit a portion of the funds from the initial public offering in the United States, China and other countries where we have certificates of deposit with original maturities more than three months. The cash has been deposited in large and reputable banks in different countries. In so doing, we are trying to control the risk of loss.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our revenues and costs of services are denominated in both RMB and U.S. dollars. There has been significant international pressure on the Chinese government to permit the free flotation of the RMB resulting in appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar from RMB7.3674 to $1.00 up to RMB6.8531 to $1.00 on December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The continued increase of the exchange rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar has had a severe impact on our inter-company transactions and balances. We had a foreign currency translation gain of $49,480 as of December 31, 2007, but a foreign currency translation loss of $156,074 as of December 31, 2008. Our future gain or loss on foreign currency translation depends on the trend of RMB revaluation, the proportion of cash and cash equivalents deposited in Sino-China and the volume of inter-company transactions.

As we have large cash deposits, we will balance the funds in U.S. dollars, RMB, and Australian dollars. As we are a U.S. company and our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we will continue to deposit our cash from operations and any unused funds in the United States.

Item 4/4T.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

For the purpose of improving our management efficiency and effectiveness, we started the implementation of a new accounting and management information system using SAP Business One software.

As of December 31, 2008, our company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 or the first half of the 2009 fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

We have experienced the following material changes to our previously disclosed risk factors.

Economic conditions and the continued weakening of the global and Chinese economies could materially adversely affect our company.

Our operation and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions and their impact on Chinese and international shipping companies that seek to ship materials to and from China. General economic indicators both globally and in China have deteriorated significantly, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings. These conditions may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. In addition to this general economic deterioration, fluctuations in fuel and other energy costs, access to credit, and other macroeconomic conditions could harm demand for our shipping agency services as our customers forego shipping agency services by attempting to provide such services in-house. These and other economic conditions could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and operating results.

Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented and deteriorating conditions in the global credit markets could materially adversely affect our company.

The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. In recent months, the volatility and disruption have reached unprecedented levels. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S., Chinese, and other foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investments banks, insurers and other financial institutions have caused the broader credit markets to continue to deteriorate. In some cases, the markets have exerted downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity for certain issuers. Moreover, significant deterioration in the financial condition of large financial institutions has resulted in a severe loss of liquidity and availability in both Chinese and global credit markets and in higher borrowing costs and more stringent borrowing terms. Recessionary conditions in both the Chinese and global economies threaten to cause further tightening of the credit markets, more stringent lending standards and terms and higher volatility in interest rates. Persistence of these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our access to debt and the terms and cost of that debt.

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 formed a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, Trans Pacific Shipping Limited (“Trans Pacific”), in Beijing on November 13, 2007. 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).

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

The Company 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. The Company established another 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.

The Company’s principal geographic market is in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). As PRC laws and regulations prohibit or 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 and has branches in Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Zhoushan and Fangchenggang. Sino-China holds four local shipping service licenses in China to serve as a local shipping agent in Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Fangchenggang. The Company provides general shipping agency services in 76 ports in China and one port in Hong Kong. The Company signed an agreement with Monson Agencies Australia, 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.

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 financial statements pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, Sino-China’s sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income (loss) from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income (loss) from continuing operations before non-controlling interest in income (loss) includes all of Sino-China’s net income. The Company’s non-controlling interest in its income is then subtracted in calculating the net income (loss) attributable to the Company. 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 SFAS 141, “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.

(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 FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, for its financial assets and liabilities.

F-6

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, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

(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 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. 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 equity 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) 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:

F-7

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 market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market 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 EITF 99-19, 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. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.

(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 basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

F-8

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation 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 FIN 48, 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. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning retained earnings of the Company. As of December 31, 2008, the Company did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not incur any interest or penalties.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax

PRC enterprise income tax is calculated based on taxable income determined under PRC GAAP. Sino-China is registered as a PRC domestic company and governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC. Its taxable incomes were subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 33% until December 31, 2007. The 5th Session of the 10th National People’s Congress amended the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC that became effective on January 1, 2008. The newly amended Enterprise Income Tax Law introduces a wide range of changes which include, but are not limited to, the unification of the income tax rate for domestic-invested and foreign-invested enterprises at 25%. This change has reduced our income tax rate from 33% to 25% since January 1, 2008. In addition, according to the amended detailed implementation and administrative rules, the new income tax law broadens the tax reductions in terms of categories and extents for the domestic companies.

PRC Business Tax and Surcharges

Revenues from services provided by Sino-China and its branches are subject to the PRC business tax of 5% and additional surcharges of 0.5%. Business tax and surcharges are paid on gross revenues generated from our shipping services minus the costs of services which are paid on behalf of our 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 EITF 06-3 and reports its revenues net of PRC’s business tax and surcharges for all the periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

F-9

(j) Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings 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 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 preference shares 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.

Earnings per share data has been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the recapitalization of the Company further discussed in Note 9.

(k) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”, which is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited, and, accordingly, the Company has not yet adopted SFAS 160. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 160; the Company believes the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated shareholders’ equity. The Company’s shareholders’ equity will increase or decrease by the amount of the non-controlling interest currently reported outside of equity. However, the adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s net income or loss.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, delaying the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. In October 2008, the FASB issued Financial Statement Position (“FSP”) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, which clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides key considerations in determining fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The delayed portions of SFAS No. 157 will be adopted by the Company beginning July 1, 2010, as permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and liabilities on July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

F-10

In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emergence Issue Task Force (“ EITF”) Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock . EITF Issue No. 07-05 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. EITF Issue No. 07-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption for an existing instrument is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-05 on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
