NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FIANANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1. GENERAL

Sino Shipping Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 5, 1979 under the laws of the State of Colorado as Applied Medical Devices, Inc. to engage in the development and sale of medical devices and medical technology. In July 1986, the Company discontinued its business operations and commenced disposing of its business assets. On February 11, 2008, the Company merged with Dalkeith Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation which was specifically formed for the purpose of accomplishing a reincorporation merger with Applied Medical Devices, Inc. On February 11, 2008, the name of the Company was changed from Applied Medical Devices, Inc. to Dalkeith Investments, Inc.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Fountainhead Capital Partners Limited (“FHCP”), an entity registered in Jersey (C.I.), Yongchen International Shipping Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Yongchen”), Hengzhou International Shipping Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Hengzhou”), Yongzheng International Marine Holdings Co., Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Yongzheng”), and each of the other shareholders of Hengzhou (the “Other Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Yongzheng transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of Yongchen capital stock to the Company, and Yongzheng and the Other Shareholders transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hengzhou capital stock to the Company, in exchange for 24,525,994 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Yongchen and Hengzhou became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Yongzheng and the Other Shareholders acquired approximately 95% of the Company’s common stock.

On March 31, 2008, the Share Exchange was completed, Yongchen and Hengzhou became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the businesses of Yongchen and Hengzhou were adopted as the Company’s business. Following the Share Exchange, the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (the “Certificate”) with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to which Sino Shipping Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged into the Company. As a result of the filing of the Certificate, the Company’s name was changed from “Dalkeith Investments, Inc.” to “Sino Shipping Holdings Inc.” effective March 31, 2008.

Below is the list of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and related vessel information as of June 30, 2009:


Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries	Vessels Owned/ In-chartered		Flag	Year Built	Deadweight Tons
Nanjing Maritime Limited	Nan Jing (a)		Sierra Leone	1984	7,500

Rong Yang International Shipping Limited		— (f)	—	—	—
Rongzhong Enterprise Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.		— (g)	—	—	—


	(a) Formerly known as Long Xin. In 2008, Long Xin was transferred by Yongchen to a newly-formed


	Hong Kong subsidiary, Nanjing Maritime Limited, and the vessel was re-named “Nan Jing.” Nan Jing was suspended from operations in the first quarter of 2009 due to reduced demand. Nan Jing resumed operations in the second quarter.

	(b) On January 4, 2008, the Yongchen entered into a time charter contract to in-charter Heng Shun for a period of three years for $28,000 per day. On January 9, 2009, the contract was terminated without penalty.

	(c) On January 1, 2008, Yongchen entered into a time charter contract to in-charter Hui Ming for a period of three years for $6,000 per day. On July 25, 2008, Huiming International Shipping Limited sold the vessel Hui Ming to Krikor Maritime S.A. (“Krikor”) and the vessel Hui Ming was renamed “Agios Spyridon.” The contract with Huiming International Shipping Limited was terminated effective July 26, 2008. On August 1, 2008, Yongchen entered into a time charter contract with Krikor to in-charter Agios Spyridon for a period of one year at a rate of $4,500 per day, with a renewal option to extend the term of the charter for two additional one-year periods at a rate of $4,500 per day.

	(d) On June 29, 2009, Hengzhou International Shipping Limited entered into an agreement to sell the vessel Heng Zhou to an unrelated third party. The vessel was delivered to the purchaser on July 18, 2009.

	(e) Hengzhou has entered into agreements to acquire Rong Sheng and Rong Da in exchange for shares of common stock with a fair market value equal to the purchase price, which is defined as the lower of the build cost or the vessel’s net realizable value as determined by an independent appraiser. Construction of Rong Sheng is ongoing. Construction of Rong Da has ceased, and we cannot assure you that construction will resume.

	(f) On February 6, 2009, Rong Yang International Shipping Limited changed its name to Rong Shun International Shipping Limited (“Rong Shun”). Rong Shun currently has no vessels.

	(g) Rongzhong Enterprise Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Rongzhong”) was incorporated as a wholly foreign invested entity on October 14, 2008 under the law of the People’s Republic of China.

2.	CHANGE OF FINANCIAL YEAR END DATE

On March 31, 2008, in connection with the Share Exchange, the Company changed its fiscal year end date from April 30 to December 31.


3.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting and presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of Sino Shipping Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nanjing Maritime Limited, Yongchen International Shipping Limited, Hengzhou International Shipping Limited, Rong Shun International Shipping Limited and Rongzhong Enterprise Management Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it issued 24,525,994 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the capital stock of Yongchen and

Hengzhou. On March 31, 2008, the share exchange transaction was completed and it constituted a reverse takeover transaction. Accordingly, the purchase method under reverse takeover accounting is adopted for the preparation of consolidated financial statements. As a result, the consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of Sino Shipping (the legal acquirer), but are a continuation of the consolidated financial statements of Yongchen and Hengzhou (the accounting acquirers).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and the rules and regulations of the SEC (“Securities and Exchange Commission”) which apply to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Revenue and expense recognition

Since the Company’s inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements and voyage charter agreements. Voyage charter revenue from cargo freight billings are recognized in full as of the date on which the vessels complete their voyages. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of discharge of the vessel’s previous cargo and is deemed to end upon the complete discharge of the current cargo. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate. In time charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are borne by the Company.

The Company records time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement. The Company recognizes vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, and other miscellaneous expenses, when incurred.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all demand and time deposits and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

Prepayment of vessel components

Prepayments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represent advances made under contract for purchases of vessel components, which upon receipt of delivery are reclassified as vessel components.

Vessels

Each vessel is recorded at its cost, which consists of the vessel deposits, purchase price, acquisition and delivery costs. Deposits, installment payments, interest, financing costs, construction design, supervision costs

and other pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction period for a vessel under construction are recorded as vessel deposits. Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each vessel, which is approximately 30 years.

Vessel component inventories are stated at cost. Vessel component costs include the cost of major components which are usually replaced or renewed in connection with a drydocking when a vessel is delivered. The vessel component costs are depreciated over the estimated period to the next drydocking. The Company subsequently capitalizes drydocking costs as they are incurred and amortizes these costs over their estimated useful lives. There were no material capitalized drydocking costs at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

The carrying value of the vessel is evaluated when events or circumstances indicate that there has been a possible impairment in value, which would occur in the fiscal period when the net carrying value was no longer expected to be recovered from future estimated cash flows. Such evaluations include a comparison of current and anticipated operating cash flows, an assessment of future operations and other relevant factors. To the extent that the carrying value of the vessel exceeds its undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the vessel would be written down to its fair value.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, impairment charges of $2,624,628 were recorded, based on the evaluation described above.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs include the prices paid to acquire or construct the assets, including capitalized interest during the construction period, and any expenditures that substantially extend the useful life of an existing asset.

Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment, which are approximately 3 to 5 years.

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease. Capitalized costs related to assets under construction are not depreciated until construction is complete and the asset is ready for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of would be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet.

Drydocking provisions

In order to preserve the quality of the Company’s vessels, and to comply with international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations, management believes it is necessary to adhere to a

maintenance program of regularly scheduled dry-docking of the vessels. Each vessel will undergo a dry-docking at least two times every five years. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and year ended December 31, 2008, no vessels in the fleet underwent a dry-docking period.

Segment reporting

The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Each of the Company’s vessels serve the same type of customer, have similar operations and maintenance requirements, operate in the same regulatory environment, and are subject to similar economic characteristics. Based on this, the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the transportation of various cargoes with its fleet of vessels.

Income taxes

The Company does not accrue United States income tax since it has no significant operating income in the United States. Its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries are incorporated in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the income tax laws of Hong Kong, the Company is not subject to tax on non Hong Kong source income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 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, 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. 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 and during the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company had franchise tax liability of $16,377.

Fair Value Measurement

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

SFAS No. 157 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level

within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis.

Functional currency

The consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Company are determined using United States dollars as the functional currency.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include impairment charge for long-lived assets, useful lives of vessels, and useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period presented. On March 31, 2008, the Company issued a warrant that represented the right to purchase 366,798 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stock by the weighted average common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly, except that it includes the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of the common stock warrant on March 31, 2008.

Distributions to shareholders

The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain any earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of the Company’s business. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”). The objective of SFAS No. 141R is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish this, SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain price, and (c) determines what information to

disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As the provisions of SFAS No. 141R are applied prospectively, the impact to the Company cannot be determined until any such transactions occur.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No.51” (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 requires that non-controlling (or minority) interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the company’s balance sheet, rather than in a mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement. SFAS No. 160 also establishes guidelines for accounting or changes in ownership percentages and for deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods with those fiscal years for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009 for calendar year end entities. The adoption of FSP No. 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 will change the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, earnings, and cash flows. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 161 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. SFAS No. 162 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (the “FSP”). The FSP amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, the FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The Company

does not expect the changes associated with adoption of the FSP will have a material effect on the determination or reporting of its consolidated financial results.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS No. 115-2”). FSP FAS No. 115-2 provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS No. 115-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”). FSP FAS No. 157-4 provides additional guidance in determining whether the market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in SFAS No. 157. FSP FAS No. 157-4 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company has already adopted the provisions of this statement prospectively beginning with the second quarter 2009, and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

On March 28, 2009, the parties terminated the charter party agreement, and entered into a new charter party agreement pursuant to which Hengzhou committed to supply the vessel Heng Zhou for a period of three years at a rate of $5,000 per day. On June 1, 2009, the new charter party agreement was terminated without penalty by mutual agreement of the parties. On June 28, 2009, Hengzhou entered into an agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the vessel Heng Zhou to an unrelated third party. The vessel was delivered pursuant to such agreement on July 18, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009, based on 100% utilization, the minimum future revenues to be received on committed time charter party agreements were approximately:

(d) On March 31, 2008, Hengzhou and the Company entered into Ship Contribution Agreements pursuant to which Hengzhou will acquire two vessels - Rong Sheng and Rong Da. See Note 12 “Related Party Transactions.”

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On February 1, 2007, the Company entered into a services agreement with FHCP pursuant to which FHCP would provide strategic advisory services to the Company in exchange for a quarterly fee of $10,000. The agreement was terminated effective March 31, 2008.

On January 1, 2008, Yongchen entered into a time charter contract with Huiming International Shipping Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yongzheng, to in-charter the vessel Hui Ming for a period of three years at a rate of US $6,000 per day. The contract was terminated effective July 26, 2008.

On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Ship Contribution Agreement with Hengzhou and Yongzheng International Shipping Limited (“YISL”), a subsidiary of Yongzheng, pursuant to which YISL will contribute the vessel “Rong Da” to Hengzhou in exchange for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the agreement) equal to the vessel purchase price. On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a Ship Contribution Agreement with Hengzhou and Huisheng International Shipping Limited, a subsidiary of Yongzheng, pursuant to which Huisheng will contribute the vessel “Rong Sheng” to Hengzhou in exchange for that number of shares of the Company’s common stock with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the agreement) equal to the vessel purchase price. Under both agreements, the vessel’s purchase price equals the vessel’s net realizable value at the date the vessel is accepted for delivery by Hengzhou, as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by the Company’s non-employee directors (or as otherwise agreed by FHCP and the Company), or its total build cost, whichever is lower.

Shanghai Rongyu International Consulting, Ltd., a subsidiary of Yongzheng, provided labor services and motor vehicle services to the Company and charged the Company labor cost of $43,800 and motor vehicle expenses of $17,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company’s executive offices are located at Hi-Shanghai 8th Building in Shanghai, China. Shanghai Yongzheng Marine Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yongzheng provided the office space to the Company. The Company paid $46,250 to Shanghai Yongzheng Marine Co., Ltd. for the office space for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Yongchen is a party to a loan agreement with Xiamen International Bank pursuant to which it borrowed $1,200,000 ($1,089,000 of which has been repaid as of June 30, 2009). The loan is secured by the vessel Qiao Yin, and is guaranteed by Huiming International Shipping Co., Ltd. and Huisheng International Shipping Limited, subsidiaries of Yongzheng, and by Mr. Xinyu Zhang. Mr. Zhang is a director of the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and the sole shareholder of Yongzheng.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company received short-term non-interest bearing advances and loans from Yongzheng. As of June 30, 2009, these amounts totaling $350,000 are included in due to affiliate.

13. CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company received a notice from State of Delaware that $257,928 in outstanding franchise taxes, interests and penalties were due by September 1, 2009. The calculation of this franchise tax assessment was based on the Authorized Shares method, a default method used by the State of Delaware applicable to

corporations having no par value stock. In May 2009, the Company filed its Annual Franchise Tax Report using Assumed Par Value Capital Method, under which $16,377 of franchise taxes would be due. Such amount, which has not been paid as of June 30, 2009, is included in the accrued expenses and other payables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company expects the State of Delaware franchise tax assessment will be resolved once it pays the $16,377 in franchise taxes to the State of Delaware, and does not expect that this matter will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 18, 2009, pursuant to a sale agreement executed on June 29, 2009, Hengzhou sold one of its vessels, Heng Zhou, to an unrelated third party. The sale resulted in a loss of $1,098,822.

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

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Form 10-Q. This discussion contains, in addition to historical information, “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. There are a number of factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements, including changes in production of, or demand for, minor bulk commodities, either globally or in particular regions; greater than anticipated levels of vessel newbuilding orders or less than anticipated rates of scrapping of older vessels; changes in trading patterns for particular commodities significantly impacting overall tonnage requirements; changes in the rates of growth of the world and various regional economies; risks incident to vessel operation, including discharge of pollutants; unanticipated changes in laws and regulations; increases in costs of operation; the availability to us of suitable vessels for acquisition or chartering-in on terms we deem favorable; our ability to attract and retain customers; and the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, or in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Background

On March 31, 2008, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Fountainhead Capital Partners Limited, an entity registered in Jersey (C.I.) (“FHCP”), Yongchen International Shipping Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Yongchen”), Hengzhou International Shipping Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong (“Hengzhou”), Yongzheng International Marine Holdings Co., Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“Yongzheng”), and each of the other shareholders of Hengzhou (the “Other Shareholders”). Prior to the consummation of the transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement, FHCP owned 60,498 shares (approximately 56%) of our common stock, Yongchen was wholly-owned by Yongzheng, and Hengzhou was approximately 70%-owned by Yongzheng.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Yongzheng transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of Yongchen capital stock to us, and Yongzheng and the Other Shareholders transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hengzhou capital stock to us, in exchange for 24,525,994 shares of our common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Yongchen and Hengzhou became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Yongzheng and the Other Shareholders acquired approximately 95% of our common stock.

In connection with the Share Exchange, we entered into a Ship Contribution Agreement, dated March 31, 2008, with Hengzhou and Yongzheng International Shipping Limited (“YISL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yongzheng, pursuant to which YISL will contribute the vessel “Rong Da” to Hengzhou in exchange for that number of shares of our common stock with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the agreement) equal to the vessel purchase price. We also entered into a Ship Contribution Agreement, dated March 31, 2008, with Hengzhou and Huisheng International Shipping Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yongzheng, pursuant to which Huisheng will contribute the vessel “Rong Sheng” to Hengzhou in exchange for that number of shares of our common stock with a Fair Market Value (as defined in the agreement) equal to the vessel purchase price. Under both agreements, the vessel purchase price equals the vessel’s net realizable value as of the date the vessel is accepted for delivery by Hengzhou, as determined by an independent appraiser chosen by our non-employee directors (or as otherwise agreed by FHCP and us), or its total build cost, whichever is lower.

Following the Share Exchange, we filed a Certificate of Ownership and Merger (the “Certificate”) with the Delaware Secretary of State pursuant to which Sino Shipping Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, was merged into our company. As a result of the filing of the Certificate, our corporate name was changed from “Dalkeith Investments, Inc.” to “Sino Shipping Holdings Inc.” effective March 31, 2008.

On March 31, 2008, the Share Exchange was completed, Yongchen and Hengzhou became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the businesses of Yongchen and Hengzhou were adopted as our business. As such, the following discussion is focused on the current and historical operations of Yongchen and Hengzhou (and our other subsidiaries), and excludes the prior operations of Sino Shipping Holdings Inc.

Overview

Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we provide maritime transportation services through the commercial operation of our fleet of owned and in-chartered vessels. We specialize in transporting minor bulk commodities including log and forest products, iron and steel products, fertilizer, agricultural products, cement and palm oil in China and Southeast Asia.

Our fleet currently consists of three shallow-draft bulk carriers. We have agreed to acquire two chemical tankers that have yet to be constructed.

¹	Formerly known as Hui Ming. On January 1, 2008, Yongchen entered into a time charter contract with Hui Ming International Shipping Limited, a subsidiary of Yongzheng, to in-charter the vessel Hui Ming for a period of three years at a rate of US $6,000 per day. On July 25, 2008, Hui Ming International Shipping Limited sold the vessel Hui Ming to KriKor Maritime S.A. (“Krikor”) and the vessel Hui Ming was renamed “Agios Spyridon”. The contract with Huiming International Shipping Limited was terminated effective July 26, 2008. On August 1, 2008, Yongchen entered into a time charter contract with KriKor to in-charter Agios Spyridon for a period of one year at a rate of US $4,500 per day, with a renewal option to extend the term of the charter for two additional one-year periods at a rate of US $4,500 per day.

²	Formerly known as Long Xin. In 2008, Long Xin was transferred by Yongchen to our newly-formed Hong Kong subsidiary, Nanjing Shipping Limited, and the vessel was re-named “Nan Jing”. Nan Jing was suspended from operations in the first quarter of 2009 due to reduced demand. Nan Jing resumed operations in the second quarter.


³	Hengzhou entered into Ship Contribution Agreements pursuant to which it will acquire Rong Sheng and Rong Da in exchange for shares of common stock. Construction of Rong Sheng is ongoing. Construction of Rong Da has ceased, and we cannot assure you that construction will resume.

Our vessels are required to be dry-docked two times every five years, with a maximum of 36 months between inspections, for inspection of the underwater parts and for repairs related to inspections. The anticipated dry-docking schedule for our current operational fleet is as follows:



Ship Name	Year built	Owned by	In-chartered by	Last Dry- docked	Next Scheduled Dry- docking


Agios Spyridon	1984	—	Yongchen	November, 2005	*
Nan Jing	1984	Nanjing	—	May, 2007	May 3, 2010
Qiao Yin	1991	Yongchen	—	November, 2005	July 8, 2009


* The vessel owner has not advised us of the dry-docking schedule.

Our transportation services generally are provided under two basic types of contractual relationships: time charters and voyage charters. A time charter involves the hiring of a vessel from its owner for a period of time pursuant to a contract under which the vessel owner places its ship (including its crew and equipment) at the service of the charterer. Under a voyage charter, the owner of a vessel provides the vessel for the transport of goods between specific ports in return for the payment of an agreed-upon freight per ton of cargo or, alternatively, a specified total amount.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the periods indicated (in US dollars):



	Six months ended June 30, 2009(Unaudited)			Six months ended June 30, 2008(Unaudited)		Three months ended June 30, 2009 (Unaudited)			Three months ended June 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

Revenue		2,065,043			13,145,064		1,340,004			7,841,227
Operating expenses		2,707,250			9,548,448		1,633,889			5,825,007
Operating earnings		(642,207	)		3,596,616		(293,885	)		2,016,220
Other expenses		6,689			20,439		2,645			9,269
Net income		(648,896	)		3,576,177		(296,530	)		2,006,951

Revenue. Our revenue was $2,065,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $13,145,064 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $11,080,021 or 84.29%. This decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decline in tons carried by the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, coupled with a decrease in freight rates, (iii) our waiver of the time charter payments for February and March 2009 from the charterer of the vessel Heng Zhou due to the unemployment of the vessel during such months, and (iv) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

The breakdown between voyage and time charter revenues for each vessel is as follows:


Six months ended		Voyage Charter	Time Charter
	June 30,

2008		Nan Jing: $2,187,659	Qiao Yin: $396,000
		Hui Ming: $2,260,623	Heng Zhou¹: $1,350,000
		Heng Shun: $6,950,782
2009		Nan Jing: $569,706	Qiao Yin: $396,000
		Agois Spyridon: $574,337	Heng Zhou¹: $525,000


1	On November 15, 2007, Hengzhou entered into a charter party agreement with Pesco Oil Storage Corp. pursuant to which Hengzhou committed to supply the vessel Heng Zhou for a period of five years at a rate of $7,500 per day. On March 28, 2009, the parties terminated the charter party agreement, and entered into a new charter party agreement pursuant to which Hengzhou committed to supply the vessel Heng Zhou for a period of three years at a rate of $5,000 per day. On June 1, 2009, the new charter party agreement was terminated without penalty by mutual agreement of the parties. On June 28, 2009, Hengzhou entered into an agreement pursuant to which it agreed to sell the vessel Heng Zhou to an unrelated third party. The vessel was delivered pursuant to such agreement on July 18, 2009.

Our revenue was $1,340,004 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $7,841,227 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $6,501,223 or 82.91%. This decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decrease in freight rates with the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, and (iii) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

The breakdown between voyage and time charter revenues for each vessel is as follows:


Three months ended		Voyage Charter	Time Charter
	June 30,

2008		Nan Jing: $1,103,035	Qiao Yin: $198,000
		Hui Ming: $1,165,605	Heng Zhou¹: $675,000
		Heng Shun: $4,699,587
2009		Nan Jing: $423,887	Qiao Yin: $198,000
		Agois Spyridon: $418,117	Heng Zhou¹: $300,000

Operating expenses and operating earnings. Our operating expenses were $2,707,250 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $9,548,448 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $6,841,198 or 71.65%. This decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, and (ii) the decline in the number of voyages that employed the vessels Nan Jing, Agios Spyridon and Heng Zhou.

Operating earnings decreased from $3,596,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to an operating loss of $642,207 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decline of $4,238,823 or 117.86%. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decline in tons carried by the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, coupled with a decrease in freight rates, (iii) our waiver of the time charter payments for February and March 2009 from the charterer of the vessel Heng Zhou due to the unemployment of the vessel during such months, and (iv) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

The breakdown between voyage and time charter expenses for each vessel are as follows:

Our operating expenses were $1,633,889 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $5,825,007 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $4,191,118 or 71.95%. This decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, and the decline in the number of voyages for our vessels Nan Jing, Agios Spyridon and Heng Zhou.

Operating earnings decreased from $2,016,220 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to an operating loss of $293,885 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decline of $2,310,105 or 114.58%. The decrease in operating earnings was primarily attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decline in tons carried by the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, coupled with a decrease in freight rates, (iii) our waiver of the time charter payments for February and March 2009 from the charterer of the vessel Heng Zhou due to the unemployment of the vessel during such months, and (iv) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

The breakdown between voyage and time charter expenses for each vessel are as follows:


Three months ended		Voyage Charter	Time Charter
	June 30,

2008		Nan Jing: $651,940 Hui Ming: $840,035 Heng Shun: $4,033,439	Qiao Yin: $106,438 Heng Zhou¹: $183,155
2009		Nan Jing: $494,546 Agios Spyridon (formerly known as Hui Ming): $693,178	Qiao Yin: $133,645 Heng Zhou¹: $155,014

Operating earnings as a percent of revenue decreased from 27.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to a 31.10% operating loss as percent of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating earnings as a percent of revenue decreased from 25.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to a 21.93% operating loss as percent of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was due to the significant decrease in our revenue coupled with no or small reductions in our fixed expenses, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation expenses.

The expenses for maintenance, repairs and parts to our owned vessels were as follows:


Vessel	Six months ended June 30, 2009	Six months ended June 30, 2008

Qiao Yin	$—	$—
Nan Jing	$15,717	$33,199
Heng Zhou	$—	$—

Other expenses. Other expenses are comprised principally of interest expense, which primarily reflects the finance cost of Yongchen’s bank loan. Other expenses were $6,689 for the six months ended June 30, 2009

and $20,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, our other expenses increased from 0.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Other expenses were $2,645 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $9,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. As a percentage of revenue, our other expenses increased from 0.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Net loss. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $648,896, or 31.42% of revenue, compared to net income of $3,576,177, or 27.21% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net income was attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decline in tons carried by the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, coupled with a decrease in freight rates, (iii) our waiver of the time charter payments for February and March 2009 from the charterer of the vessel Heng Zhou due to the unemployment of the vessel during such months, and (iv) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $296,530, or 22.13% of revenue, compared to net income of $2,006,951, or 25.59% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income was attributable to (i) the termination of the Heng Shun time charter on January 9, 2009, (ii) the decrease in freight rates with the vessels Nan Jing and Agios Spyridon, and (iii) the reduced charter rate under the new Heng Zhou charter agreement entered into in March 2009, and the subsequent termination of that charter agreement on June 1, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58,498. We did not engage in any hedging activities relating to foreign exchange, interest rates or other risks for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2009, our current assets were $2,218,140 and current liabilities were $659,558, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 3.36 to 1. At December 31, 2008, our current assets and current liabilities were $2,242,072 and $413,035, respectively, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 5.43 to 1.

Net cash from operating activities was ($205,252) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $1,273,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease of net operating cash inflow was mainly attributable to a decrease in net income.

Net cash from financing activities was $152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and net cash used in financing activities was $198,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase of net financing cash inflow was mainly attributable to borrowings from an affiliate.

Our capital expenditures for 2009 are anticipated to be approximately $2 million. The capital for these expenditures is expected to be financed by our operating income and financing activities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon or derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The preparation of such financial statements and the application of such accounting policies may require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We base these estimates on our historical experience and on various other

assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and these estimates form the basis for our judgments concerning the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically re-evaluate these estimates and judgments based on available information and experience. Actual results could differ from our estimates under different assumptions and conditions. If actual results significantly differ from our estimates, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted.

Revenue and expense recognition. Since our inception, revenues have been generated from time charter agreements and voyage charter agreements. Voyage charter revenue from cargo freight billings are recognized in full as of the date on which the vessels complete their voyages. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the completion of the discharge of the vessel’s previous cargo, and is deemed to end upon the complete discharge of the current cargo. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterer’s disposal for a set period of time during which the charterer may use the vessel in return for the payment by the charterer of a specified daily hire rate. Under a time charter, operating costs including crew, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel, and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses such as commissions which are borne by our company.

We record time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the term of the respective time charter agreement. We recognize vessel operating expenses, which include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, and other miscellaneous expenses, when incurred.

Vessels. Each vessel is recorded at its cost, which consists of the vessel deposits, purchase price, acquisition and delivery costs. Deposits, installment payments, interest, financing costs, construction design, supervision costs and other pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction period for a vessel under construction are recorded as vessel deposits. Depreciation is provided on straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each vessel, which is approximately 30 years.

Vessel component inventories are stated at cost. Vessel component costs include the cost of major components which are usually replaced or renewed in connection with a drydocking when a vessel is delivered. The vessel component costs are depreciated over the estimated period to the next drydocking. We subsequently capitalize drydocking costs as they are incurred and amortize these costs over their estimated useful lives. There were no material capitalized drydocking costs at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on us.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP 157-2”) which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009 for calendar year end entities. We have already adopted

FSP 157-2, except as it applies to nonfinancial assets and liabilities as noted in FSP 157-2. The adoption of FSP 157-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 will change the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, earnings, and cash flows. We adopted SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 162 directs the hierarchy to the entity, rather than the independent auditors, as the entity is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to remove the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles from the auditing standards. SFAS 162 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS No. 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS No. 115-2”). FSP FAS No. 115-2 provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. FSP FAS No. 115-2 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. We do not believe this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS No. 157-4”). FSP FAS No. 157-4 provides additional guidance in determining whether the market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP FAS No. 157-4 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will apply the provisions of FSP FAS No. 157-4 prospectively beginning with the second quarter 2009, and do not expect its adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
