Material Changes and Accounting Errors
The audit committee identified two primary categories of errors requiring restatement:
- Incorrect Accounting of Related Party Transactions (FY 2021): Approximately $4.5 million (RMB 30 million) of accounts receivable was incorrectly treated. Funds received from a related party (Shanghai Baoyin) were recorded as a recovery of bad debt and a related party loan receivable, when the funds were essentially circular transactions with no economic substance. This resulted in an overstatement of recovery and receivables.
- Improper Revenue Recognition (Q3 and Q4 2021): $980,200 of revenue from freight shipping services recognized by subsidiary SGS NY Sino-Global Shipping New York Inc. did not meet revenue recognition criteria.
- Related Party Disclosure Failures: A lack of proper procedures in identifying and recording related party transactions led to errors in the provision for doubtful accounts.
Management Commentary, Risks, and Outlook
Management and the audit committee have concluded that a material weakness exists in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Consequently, disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective as of June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2022. The Company intends to amend its Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs to correct these errors. A remediation plan for the material weakness will be detailed in the amended filings. The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance or outlook beyond the intent to correct the historical records.
