FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K may be “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” or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes statistical data regarding the shipping industry. We generated some of this data internally, and some was obtained from independent industry publications and reports that we believe to be reliable sources. We have not independently verified the data nor sought the consent of any organizations to refer to their reports in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement contained in this paragraph and in other reports hereafter filed by us with the SEC.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Background.

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

On March 31, 2008, we 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”). Prior to the consummation of the transactions under the Share Exchange Agreement, FHCP owned 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, Yongzheng and the Other Shareholders acquired approximately 95% of our common stock, and the businesses of Yongchen and Hengzhou were adopted as our business.

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 name was changed from “Dalkeith Investments, Inc.” to “Sino Shipping Holdings Inc.” effective March 31, 2008.

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, and basic chemical and petrochemical products in China and Southeast Asia. Presently, our revenues are derived substantially from the chartering of our ~~owned and in-chartered~~ vessels.

Our fleet.

Our fleet currently consists of ~~three~~two shallow-draft bulk carriers. ~~and~~In ~~one~~connection with ~~oil/chemical~~the ~~tanker.~~Share WeExchange, ~~have~~we entered into ~~agreements~~Ship Contribution Agreements to acquire two ~~additional~~ chemical tankers, ~~that~~Rong ~~currently~~Sheng ~~are~~and ~~under~~Rong ~~construction.~~Da, ~~During~~in ~~2008,~~exchange wefor ~~also~~shares of common stock with a Fair Market Value (as defined in~~-chartered~~ aneach ~~additional~~agreement) ~~bulk~~equal ~~carrier,~~to ~~Heng~~the vessel ~~Shun~~purchase price.

In 2009, we sold our chemical tanker, Heng Zhou, to an unrelated third party, and we terminated our in-charter agreement for the bulk carrier Heng Shun. In 2010, we terminated our in-charter agreement for the general cargo vessel Agios Spyridon. The following table sets forth information regarding our fleet.

1	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.

Since many countries in the Asia Pacific region, including China, have shallow ports, the use of larger vessels in these countries is frequently limited. Many of these countries also lack adequate infrastructure for loading and discharging cargo. In addition, despite the availability of deep water ports in countries such as Japan, Taiwan and Korea, the high cost of inland transport and mountainous terrain often favor the use of shallow-draft ships which are able to make direct calls to smaller draft-restricted ports. Our shallow-draft vessels are designed with stanchions for the stowage of logs on deck, have cranes fitted on deck for the loading and discharging of cargo in ports which do not have suitable shore facilities, and can access draft-restricted ports which may be closed to other vessels. These features enhance the cargo carrying abilities of our vessels and allow them to call at most relevant ports throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Fleet Management.

Ship owning activities entail three separate functions: (i) the overall strategic management function, which is that of an investment manager and includes the selection, purchase, financing and sale of vessels and the overall supervision of both chartering and vessel technical management; (ii) the technical ~~management~~ management function, which encompasses the day to day operation, physical maintenance and crewing of the vessels; and (iii) the commercial management function, which involves obtaining employment for the vessels and managing relations with the charterer.

crewing of the vessels; and (iii) the commercial management function, which involves obtaining employment for the vessels and managing relations with the charterer.

Our management team exercises direct control over our overall strategic management and commercial management functions, but may, on a case-by-case basis, engage the services of independent brokers in order to obtain employment for our vessels and to manage its relations with our charterers.

The technical management function for our -owned vessels is subcontracted out to a ship manager. Prior to 2008, Shanghai Yongzheng Marine Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of Yongzheng, provided such services. Since January 1, 2008, we have subcontracted such services to an unrelated third party, Rongda International Shipping Management Co., Ltd. The technical management agreement with Rongda is a “cost-plus” contract under which we reimburse all costs incurred by Rongda for the operation of our vessels and Rongda is paid a fixed management fee. We exercise regular controls over Rongda to ensure that the vessels are properly maintained. We may, in the future, use other ship managers if the price and service are more favorable.

Our Business.

Our transportation services are generally 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 typical time charter, the charterer periodically pays us a fixed daily charter hire rate and bears all voyage expenses, including the cost of fuel as well as port and canal charges. Subject to certain restrictions imposed by us in the charter contract, the charterer determines the type and quantity of cargo to be carried and the ports of loading and discharging. The technical operation and navigation of the vessel at all times remain our responsibility, including vessel operating expenses, such as the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel, costs of spare parts and supplies, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses.

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. The shipowner is responsible for paying both operating costs and voyage costs, and the charterer is typically responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. A single voyage charter is often referred to as a “spot market” charter, which generally lasts from two to ten weeks. Operating vessels in the spot market may afford greater speculative opportunity to capitalize on fluctuations in the spot market -- when vessel demand is high we earn higher rates, but when demand is low our rates are lower and potentially insufficient to cover costs. Spot market rates are volatile and are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand, and other factors beyond our control. If the markets are especially weak for protracted periods, there is a risk that vessels in the spot market may spend time idle waiting for business, or may have to be “laid up”.6

Industry and Market.

The shipping industry is subject to cyclical fluctuations and volatility in charter rates, profitability, and vessel values based on changes in shipping capacity supply and demand. The demand for ships is influenced by many factors, including global and regional economic conditions, developments in ~~international~~ international trade, changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, weather patterns, crop yields, armed conflicts, port congestion, canal closures, political developments, embargoes and strikes. It also is influenced by the demand for consumer goods and perishable foodstuffs, dry bulk commodities, crude oil and oil products which, in turn, is affected by many factors, including general economic conditions, commodity prices, environmental concerns, weather, and competition from alternative fuels. The supply of shipping capacity is a function of the delivery of new vessels and the number of older vessels scrapped, converted to other uses, reactivated or lost. Such supply may be affected by regulation of maritime transportation practices by governmental and international authorities. ~~All~~These ~~of these~~ factors which affect vessel ~~capacity~~ capacity supply and demand are beyond our control. In addition, the nature, timing and degree of changes in the shipping markets in which we operate, as well as future charter rates and values of our vessels, are not readily predictable.

10 Bulk cargo market. Maritime transportation is fundamental to international trade, being the only practicable and cost-effective means of transporting large volumes of many essential commodities and finished goods. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), more than 90% of global trade is achieved through international maritime transport, one of the principal modes of which is bulk cargo transportation. Dry bulk cargoes include major bulk commodities and minor bulk commodities. Major bulk commodities include, for example, iron ore, coal and grain. Minor bulk commodities include,

Importance of China. China’s increasing role in international trade and its now significant role in the dry bulk commodity transportation market have been fueled by China’s strong economic growth. According to the National Bureau of Statistic of China, China’s nominal GDP has grown from 7.83 trillion Yuan (USD1.15 trillion) in 1998 to 33.54 trillion Yuan (USD 4.92 trillion) in 2009. China’s economic expansion has led to significant growth of import and export volumes. According to the Iron and Steel Statistics Bureau, China was the world’s largest steel exporter in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and ranked fifth in 2009. In addition, in each year from 2004 through 2009, China’s ports have had the highest total annual throughput worldwide.

China’s imports are mostly concentrated in bulk commodities and energy sources. China has been a coal import-only country since 2005, and each year China imports over 200 million cubic meters of timber. We believe China’s demand for bulk commodities to support its growing economy is likely to continue as the population shifts from rural to urban areas necessitating construction, as per capita penetration rates of consumer durables, such as automotives and appliances, increase towards ratios exhibited in Europe and North America, and as preparations for the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai accelerate.

12 Prosperous shipping market between mainland China and Taiwan. With the implementation of Cross-Strait Sea Transport Agreement signed by the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits and the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation on November 4, 2008, ships can sail directly to Taichung and Keelung in Taiwan from six mainland ports including Shanghai, Fuzhou and Xiamen. Prior to such implementation, vessels were routed via Hong Kong or Japan. Eventually 63 ports on the mainland and 11 in Taiwan will be opened for direct shipments. Cross-Taiwan strait economic and trade activity has increased since the agreement was signed, generating enormous demand for direct sea carriage of passengers and goods.

shortage of edible oil shipping tonnage capacity and, we believe, has created a tremendous market opportunity for maritime shippers with IMO type II tankers in their fleet. Heng Zhou, Rong Da and Rong Sheng are IMO type II tankers.10

Increasing demand from petrochemical industry. According to the Oil & Gas Journal (January, 2006), since 2003, production of major petrochemical products has been shifting from the United States and western Europe to the Asia Pacific region, Middle East, Latin America and eastern Europe. Indeed, excess production capacity in Asia, especially in China, has caused a supply/demand imbalance in the Asian petrochemical market which we expect to widen in the years ahead. We believe the imbalance has accelerated China’s export of such excess supply to the Far East, generating huge market potential for those in the maritime shipping industry servicing the shipping routes from China to the Far East. Moreover, because petrochemical products typically ship in units weighing approximately 8,000 DWT, we believe 10,000 DWT chemical tankers such as those in our fleet are most suitable for the maritime transportation of the petrochemical products.

Increasingly prosperous shipping market between mainland China and Taiwan. With the implementation of Cross-Strait Sea Transport Agreement signed by the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits (ARATS) and the Taiwan-based Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) on November 4, 2008, ships can sail directly to Taichung and Keelung in Taiwan from six mainland ports including Shanghai, Fuzhou and Xiamen. Prior to such implementation, vessels were routed via Hong Kong or Japan. Eventually 63 ports on the mainland and 11 in Taiwan will be opened for direct shipments. Cross-Taiwan strait economic and trade activity is intensifying by the day, generating enormous demand for direct sea carriage of passengers and goods. In 2007, cross-strait trade amounted to US$130.2 billion, accounting for 27.9% of Taiwan’s total foreign trade, and Taiwan’s exports to mainland China amounted to US$100.4 billion, constituting 40.7% of Taiwan’s total exports.

Competitive Strengths.

Experienced management team. We are led by a team of senior managers and industry professionals with extensive experience in maritime shipping in the Asia Pacific market, including experience in market analysis, chartering, vessel operations, technical management and crewing, safety and quality management, vessel sale and purchase, shipbuilding and repair, vessel finance and insurance.

Strong customer relationships and a reputation for high quality service. We believe that we have developed a reputation as a reliable provider of ships and comprehensive services. Our professionals often work directly with shippers of commodity products to develop tailored solutions for their transportation needs. Our goal is to enable our customers to make their sales decisions with a certainty that we can fulfill their maritime transportation needs rapidly and reliably. We believe that our ~~ongoing~~on-going commitment to providing this level of service and availability is an important factor in developing and maintaining strong relationships with our customers, and that these relationships place us in a favorable position to obtain high levels of repeat business as well as early access to information concerning our customers’ future vessel needs.

Strong relationships with service providers and suppliers. We believe we have strong relationships with most of our major suppliers, including our technical management company, insurance providers and shipbuilders. We work with our technical management company to obtain crew who are experienced in the operation and maintenance of vessels in international trades. Many of the crew used by us have worked on our vessels for a number of years. This is particularly important to our company and our customers since we each depend on the efficient operation of our vessels and the effective management of the broad spectrum of requirements in the numerous load and discharge ports, such as hold cleaning, inspections and crane surveys.

Our Strategy.

We intend to deliver sustainable growth and long-term stockholder value by leveraging our competitive strengths through the following strategies:

Focus on routes between China and ASEAN countries by setting up offices in major port cities and providing value added services. We intend to set up offices in major port cities in Southeast Asia to strengthen our connection with local consignors, shipping forwarders, importers and exporters, and to develop new routes between China and ASEAN countries. We also plan to provide value-added services, such as floating crane carrier service in some Southeast Asia ports, which can lower the cost of loading and discharging and enhance our competitive advantage in the region.

Expand into China coastal shipping market. We intend to expand into China’s coastal shipping market to capitalize on the domestic trade boom expected from China’s stimulus plan.

Enhance our comprehensive customer service offering. We intend to further develop the breadth and flexibility of our services to meet our customers’ transport needs. Working closely with our customers, we will seek to become an increasingly important component in their overall freight and logistics activities. Our objective is to have suitable tonnage readily available to service their maritime cargo business whenever they require such tonnage. To achieve this, we believe we need to maintain a significant fleet of modern vessels that provide the service and operational flexibility that our customers require. We also intend to offer our customers increasing ability to manage their overall freight needs and their exposure to changes in freight rates by remaining flexible over the size of the cargo we are willing to take and the periods for which we are willing to charter ships in and out.

Develop and broaden our customer base. To date, we have been successful in attracting high quality customers. We are handling an increasing amount of their cargo business as demand for bulk commodities expands, and we intend to achieve further penetration of our customer base as their cargo transportation needs to grow. Additionally, we believe that our on-going commitment to providing high quality services should allow us to expand our customer base. We believe this will give us greater access to premium cargo trades, back-haul cargoes, and repeat business.

Expand our fleet to meet growing customer demand. We are strategically committed to the expansion of our fleet to meet the growing needs of our existing and potential new customers. Through active tonnage procurement programs, including new vessel purchases, secondhand acquisitions and disposals, and chartering in and out vessels, we intend to maintain an appropriate balance between (i) the expected demand for our services, opportunities in the market, and managing seasonal fluctuations in charter rates and the industry’s inherent cyclicality, and (ii) the size and profile of our fleet. We intend to focus on maintaining a fleet of modern, shallow-draft, well-designed vessels since we believe that such vessels are best-suited to our customers’ requirements, provide operational efficiencies, and should place us in a favorable position to obtain competitive charter rates for a high percentage of our vessels and to benefit from increases in vessel resale values.

Increase primary trades and back-haul cargoes. We intend to ~~continue~~ to expand our activities in, and market share of, front-haul trades that pay premium rates. We also expect to secure a growing volume of back-haul cargoes which should enable us to improve our capacity utilization.

Customers.

Our customers currently include large Asian companies such as ~~Joinocean~~Great ~~Logistics~~Morning ~~Inc~~Shipping Co., ~~Qingdao~~Ltd, ~~Wintime~~Link Chance International ~~Transportation~~Ltd, Manuchar Hong Kong Ltd, Pesco Oil Storage Corp., Popular Mart Co., Ltd, and Zhejiang Jiao Long Maritime Engineering Co., ~~Link~~Ltd. ~~Chance~~Our assessment of a charterer’s financial condition and ~~International~~reliability ~~Limited~~is an important factor in negotiating employment for our vessels. We expect to charter our vessels to major trading houses (including commodities traders), ~~Great~~publicly traded companies, reputable vessel owners and operators, major producers and government-owned entities rather than to more speculative or undercapitalized entities. We evaluate the counterparty risk of potential charterers based on our management’s experience in the shipping. In 2009, the combined revenue of top five customers accounted for about 98% of our total revenue.

Our assessment of a charterer’s financial condition and reliability is an important factor in negotiating employment for our vessels. We expect to charter our vessels to major trading houses (including commodities traders), publicly traded companies, reputable vessel owners and operators, major producers and government-owned entities rather than to more speculative or undercapitalized entities. We evaluate the counterparty risk of potential charterers based on our management’s experience in the shipping. In 2008, five customers each individually accounted for more than 10% of our revenue.

Employees.

As of December 31, ~~2008~~2009, we had 10nine staff employees and ~~three~~four senior management officers. None of our employees is represented by a union. We believe our relations with our employees are good.

We obtain crew for each of our vessels from our shipping management company. Crew members are not employees of our company. The number of crew currently working on each of our ~~owned or in-chartered~~ vessels are as follows:

Vessel Name		Number of Crew
Qiao Yin		12
Nan Jing		1422
Agios Spyridon		14
Heng Zhou		18

Intellectual Property.

We do not have any patents, licenses or trademarks on which our business is substantially dependent.

Competition.

The international shipping industry is highly competitive and fragmented with many market participants. Competition varies primarily according to the kind of commodity being shipped and the nature of the contractual relationship. ~~We primarily compete with privately-owned fleets of dry bulk vessels.~~

We primarily compete ~~for~~with ~~voyage~~privately-owned ~~charters~~fleets ~~on the basis~~ of ~~price~~dry asbulk ~~well~~vessels. asAccording ~~vessel location,~~to ~~size,~~Drewry ~~age~~Shipping ~~and~~Consultants, ~~condition~~in ~~and our reputation as an owner and operator.

We compete for voyage charters on the basis of price as well as vessel location, size, age and condition and our reputation as an owner and operator. Similarly, the time charter market is price sensitive and depends on our ability to demonstrate the high quality of our vessels and operations to chartering customers. However, because of the longer term commitment, we believe customers entering time charters typically are more concerned than spot charterers about the environmental and operational risks associated with older vessels. Consequently, owners of large modern fleets have gained a competitive advantage over owners of older fleets, particularly in the time charter market.

Environmental and Other Regulations.

Industry Regulations.

Our business is materially affected by government regulation in the form of international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations, and laws and regulations of the flag nations of our vessels, including laws relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, and laws that require us to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, and continuous training of our officers and crews. Because such conventions, laws and regulations are often revised, we are unable to predict the ultimate costs of complying with such conventions, laws and regulations. Under certain regulations, a vessel owner may be liable for property and environmental damages, and all of its assets could be subject to claim for such damages. Moreover, in certain jurisdictions, under the “sister ship” doctrine, all of the affiliates in a fleet of ships may be liable for damages caused by, or debts incurred with respect to, a ship owned by one affiliate, and the ships and other assets of all the affiliates may be subject to attachments.

In addition, a variety of government and private entities subject our vessels to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities, classification societies, flag state administrations (country of registry) and charterers, particularly terminal operators. Certain of these entities require us to obtain permits, licenses and certificates for the operation of our vessels. Failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or to temporarily suspend the operation of one or more of our vessels.

Some countries have laws or practices which restrict the carriage of cargoes depending upon the nationality of a vessel or its crew or the origin or destination of the vessel, as well as other considerations relating to particular national interests. We cannot predict the effect that such laws or practices may have on our ability to obtain cargoes.

International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations. The International Maritime Organization, or IMO, has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for oil pollution in international waters and in a signatory’s territorial waters. The IMO adopted Annex VI to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships to address air pollution from ships. Annex VI set limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil, and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. We believe our vessels are in compliance with Annex VI.

Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil, and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. We believe our vessels are in compliance with Annex VI.

The operation of our vessels also is affected by the requirements set forth in the IMO’s Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention (the “ISM Code”). The ISM Code requires ship owners to develop and maintain an extensive “Safety Management System” that includes the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for safe operation and describing procedures for dealing with emergencies. The failure of a ship owner to comply with the ISM Code may subject such owner to increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. All of the vessels in our operating fleet are ISM Code-certified.

Other rules, international conventions and regulations adopted by the IMO include:


	•	International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (as amended by the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code), which prescribes a series of regulations meant to detect security threats and protect the safety of a vessel and its crew; and

	•	International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, which prescribes a series of regulations pursuant to which seafarers of all ranks must be trained and certificated in order to be able to carry out their respective duties on board vessels.

We have developed policies and procedures intended to ensure our compliance with these laws, regulations and rules, and we believe that all of our vessels are in compliance.

Inspection by Classification Societies. Every seagoing merchant vessel must be “classed” by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the vessel is “in class,” signifying that the vessel has been built and is being maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society, and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the vessel’s country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where inspections are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag state, the classification society will conduct such inspections on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authorities concerned. The classification society, on request, also may undertake such other inspections that are required by regulations and requirements of the flag state. These inspections are subject to agreements made between the vessel’s classification society and the flag state concerned.

For maintenance of the class, regular inspections are required to be performed as follows:

• Annual Surveys: For seagoing ships, annual inspections are conducted for the hull and the machinery, including the electrical plant, safety equipment, communication equipment and any special equipment classed, at intervals of approximately 12 months from the date of commencement of the class period indicated in the certificate. • Intermediate Surveys: Intermediate inspections (which are more extensive than annual inspections) of the vessels’ structure and equipment are conducted in conjunction with the second or third annual inspection. • Class Renewal Surveys: Class renewal surveys, also known as special surveys, are carried out for the ship’s hull and the machinery, including the electrical plant, safety equipment, communications equipment and for any special equipment classed, at five-year intervals from the vessel’s certification. At the special inspection, a thorough examination of the vessel is conducted, including ultrasonic gauging to determine the thickness of the steel structures. If the thickness fails to meet class requirements, the classification society will prescribe steel renewals. Substantial amounts of money may have to be spent for steel renewals to pass a special inspection if the vessel has suffered excessive wear and tear. • Continuous Surveys: On application by a ship owner, the inspections required for class renewal may be split according to an agreed schedule to be carried out over the entire period of the class certificate. It is common for this process to be applied to the vessel’s machinery, known as a continuous machinery inspection. All areas subject to inspection as defined by the classification society are required to be inspected at least once per five-year class period, unless shorter intervals between inspections are prescribed. All of the vessels within our fleet undergo continuous machinery inspections. • Docking Surveys: Vessels also are required to be dry-docked twice within the five-year inspection cycle, with a maximum of 36 months between inspections, for inspection of the underwater parts and for repairs related to inspections. An in-water inspection may be permitted in lieu of a dry-docking for the intermediate inspection, although the vessel must carry out a dry-docking in conjunction with a class renewal inspection.

If any defects are found by the classification inspector during any inspection of a ship, the inspector may require an immediate repair to be carried out. If, however, the inspector considers it safe for the vessel to continue in service without an immediate repair, the inspector will issue a condition of 14

~~class~~ If any ~~which~~defects are found by the classification inspector during any inspection of a ship, the inspector may require an immediate repair to be carried out. If, however, the inspector considers it safe for the vessel to continue in service without an immediate repair, the inspector will issue a condition of class which will require the defect to be rectified by the ship owner within ~~prescribed~~ prescribed time limits. Any conditions of class must be repaired at the time of the class renewal inspection.

All of our vessels are certified as being “in class” by Bureau Veritas International Register, International Register of Shipping, and Isthmus Bureau of Shipping, each of which are members of the International Association of Classification Societies.

Insurance.

Our business is subject to normal hazards associated with owning and operating vessels in international trade. The operation of ocean going vessels carries an inherent risk of catastrophic marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental accidents, property loss or damage, cargo loss or damage, and business interruption due to mechanical failures, adverse weather conditions, human error, political action, hostilities, piracy, labor strikes, and other circumstances or events. Not all risks can be insured against, and our policies have certain deductibles for which we are responsible. We also cannot assure that any specific claim will be paid. We believe, however, that our current insurance coverage is adequate to protect us against normal accident-related risks involved in the conduct of our business. Our principal insurance policies include:

Hull and machinery insurance. This insurance includes coverage for damage to a vessel’s hull and machinery in a collision or from basic perils of the sea. Our coverage includes the risk of actual or constructive total loss for our owned fleet. Each vessel is insured for at least its fair market value, with a deductible that, depending on the vessel, is either a fixed amount or the greater of a fixed amount or a percentage of the actual loss incurred. ~~The~~If ~~respective~~we ~~owners~~charter-in ofany vessels, the ~~other~~owners ~~vessels~~of ~~that~~those wevessels ~~charter-in~~will ~~are~~likely be responsible for maintaining insurance ~~on those vessels~~thereon. We do not maintain time charter liability insurance. Protection and Indemnity (“P&I”) Insurance. P&I insurance includes coverage for oil pollution, damage to docks and other installations, and coverage against third-party liabilities encountered in our commercial operations (include loss or damage of goods). It also includes coverage for the death, injury or illness of our crew, and for the costs of towage, salvage and other fees (include debris removal). Our P&I insurance is provided by mutual marine insurance associations or “P&I Clubs.” P&I Clubs are formed by shipowners to provide protection from large financial losses to one member by contribution towards the loss by all members. We are subject to potential additional premiums for prior years due to funding requirements and coverage shortfalls of the P&I Clubs in the event claims exceed available funds and reserves. We also are subject to future premium increases based on prior year underwriting loss experience. Currently, insurance on our owned fleet includes coverage for pollution claims, death, injury or illness of crew, and cargo damage, all of which is subject to coverage limits and deductibles.

Our P&I insurance is provided by mutual marine insurance associations or “P&I Clubs.” P&I Clubs are formed by shipowners to provide protection from large financial losses to one member by contribution towards the loss by all members. We are subject to potential additional premiums for prior years due to funding requirements and coverage shortfalls of the P&I Clubs in the event claims exceed available funds and reserves. We also are subject to future premium increases based on prior year underwriting loss experience. Currently, insurance on our owned fleet includes coverage for pollution claims, death, injury or illness of crew, and cargo damage, all of which is subject to coverage limits and deductibles.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risk Factors Relating to the Shipping Industry

Costs and revenues in the shipping industry are volatile. The shipping industry historically has experienced volatility in freight rates, the cost of fuel oil, the cost and availability of crew, port charges, currency exchange rates, and vessel charter rates and values due to, among other things, changes in the level and pattern of global economic activity and the highly competitive nature of the world shipping industry. Changes to marine regulatory regimes in the ports at which our vessels call also may cause our costs to fluctuate.

Our revenue is influenced by a number of factors that are difficult to predict, including global and regional economic conditions, developments in international trade, changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, weather patterns, port congestion, canal closures, political developments, armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, embargoes, and strikes. Demand for our transportation services is influenced by the demand for the goods we ship, including iron and steel products, agricultural products, and log and forest products, which in turn is affected by general economic conditions, commodity prices and competition. A decrease in demand for these products could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our revenue also is influenced by fluctuations in shipping capacity. The supply of shipping capacity is a function of the size of the existing global fleet, its operational efficiency, the impact of port congestion, the delivery of new vessels and the number of older vessels scrapped, in lay-up, converted to other uses, deactivated or lost. The factors influencing the supply of vessel capacity are outside our control, and a significant increase in such supply could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our business depends to a significant degree on the stability and continued growth of the Asian economies. Economic growth in China has caused unprecedented demand for raw materials and other products that are transported by ocean freight. The growth of the Chinese economy has stimulated growth in other Asian economies as well. Any pronounced slowdown or decline in the Chinese economy could be expected to have significant adverse effects on the economies of other Asian countries and on the demand for our services, and could be expected to result in declines in freight rates and on the value of our vessels. We expect that a significant decline in the Asian economies would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

High or volatile oil prices could adversely affect the global economy and our results of operations. If oil prices remain high for an extended period of time or experience prolonged volatility, the global economy could weaken significantly. Global recession or depression would significantly reduce the demand for ocean freight while our fuel costs would be increasing. A significant reduction in the demand for ocean freight would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our results of operations would be adversely affected if we were unable to pass increased fuel costs on to our customers.

We operate in a highly competitive industry. We employ our vessels in highly competitive markets that are capital-intensive and highly fragmented. Competition arises primarily from other vessel owners, many of whom have substantially greater financial and other resources than us. Competition for the transportation of cargo by sea is intense and depends on numerous factors including price, location, size, age, and condition of the vessel and the acceptability of the vessel and its operators. Due, in part, to the highly fragmented market, competitors with greater resources could enter our market and operate larger fleets through consolidation or acquisitions, and may be able to offer lower rates and higher quality vessels than we are able to offer. If we are unable to compete successfully, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

We operate in a highly-regulated industry. Our business is materially affected by government regulation in the form of ~~international~~ international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations, and laws and regulations of the flag nations of our vessels, including laws relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, and laws that require us to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews. Complying with these laws, conventions, and regulations may entail significant expenses, including expenses for ship modifications, special surveys, and new equipment, and expenses in meeting maintenance and inspection requirements, in changing operating procedures, in developing contingency arrangements for potential contamination by vessels, and in obtaining insurance coverage. In addition, pursuant to such laws, governmental and other agencies may mandate that we obtain permits, licenses and certificates in connection with our operations. Some countries in which we operate have laws that restrict the carriage of cargoes depending on the registry of a vessel, the nationality of its crew and prior and future ports of call, as well as other considerations relating to particular national interest. Port authorities in various jurisdictions may demand that repairs be made before allowing a vessel to sail, even though the vessel may be certified as “in class” and in compliance with all relevant maritime conventions. Additional laws and regulations may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations. Our failure to comply with applicable laws, ordinances and regulations may subject us to increased liability, may invalidate existing insurance coverage or decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

Our failure to comply with applicable laws, ordinances and regulations may subject us to increased liability, may invalidate existing insurance coverage or decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

In certain countries where we operate, we are subject to various federal, state or local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations that impose obligations to clean up environmental contamination resulting from a discharge of oil or hazardous substances, such as a discharge of fuel. We also may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties in connection with such contamination. Liability under certain of these laws has been interpreted to be strict, joint and several, and subject to very limited statutory defenses. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of such substances and damages resulting from such releases could be substantial and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Risk associated with the shipping industry could affect our business and reputation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and stock price. The involvement of our vessels in a marine disaster or environmental mishap could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect our stock price.

and operator, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and adversely affect our stock price.

Marine claimants could arrest our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow. Under general maritime law in many jurisdictions, crew members, tort claimants, claimants for breach of certain maritime contracts, vessel mortgagors, suppliers of fuel, materials, goods and services to a vessel, and shippers and consignees of cargo may be entitled to a maritime lien against a vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many circumstances, a maritime lien holder may bring an action to enforce its lien by “arresting” a vessel and commencing foreclosure proceedings. In some jurisdictions, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest the vessel subject to the claimant’s maritime lien as well as any “associated” vessel owned or controlled by the legal or beneficial owner of that vessel. The arrest of one or more of our vessels could result in a loss of our cash flow or require us to pay substantial amounts to have the arrest lifted, and could adversely affect our customer relationships by interrupting our sailing schedule.

Governments could requisition one or more of our vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings. A government could requisition one or more of our vessels for title or for hire. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes its owner, while requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes its charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during periods of war or emergency, although governments may elect to requisition vessels in other circumstances. Although we would be entitled to compensation in the event of a requisition of one or more of our vessels, the amount and timing of payment would be uncertain. Government requisition of one or more of our vessels could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels have recently increased in frequency, which could adversely affect our business. Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea. Recently, the frequency of piracy incidents has

increased significantly. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed being characterized by insurers as “war risk” zones or Joint War Committee “war and strikes” listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including employing onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost, or unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Factors Relating to Our Business

We depend upon a limited number of customers for a large part of our revenue. For the year ended December 31, ~~2008~~2009, the ~~five~~combined revenue of ~~our~~top five customers ~~each~~ accounted for ~~over~~about 1098% of our total revenue. Losing any of these customers may result in the unemployment of our vessels and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

As our fleet ages, the risks associated with older vessels could adversely affect our operations. In general, the costs to maintain an oceangoing vessel in good operating condition increase with the age of the vessel. One of ~~the four vessels in~~ our ~~controlled~~ operational ~~fleet~~ vessels is ~~more~~almost ~~than~~20 15 years old, and the ~~two~~other ~~are~~is more than 2025 years old. We estimate that the economic useful life of our vessels is approximately 30 years, depending on market conditions, the type of cargo being carried and the level of maintenance. ~~Some~~ of our carriers are used to transport products such as fertilizer and petrochemical products that may damage our vessels and reduce their useful life if we do not follow specified maintenance and cleaning routines. Older vessels ~~may~~ may develop unexpected mechanical and operational problems despite adherence to regular survey schedules and proper maintenance. Due to improvements in engine technology, older vessels typically are less fuel-efficient than more recently constructed vessels. Cargo insurance rates increase with the age of a vessel. Governmental regulations and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of vessels may require expenditures for alterations of, or the addition of new equipment to, our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our vessels may engage. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate our vessels profitably during the remainder of their projected useful lives, or that we will be able to sell our owned-vessels profitably when we no longer can utilize them in our fleet.

Vessel dry-dockings could adversely affect our cash flow and results of operations. Our vessels must be dry-docked two ~~times~~ times every five years to coincide with special survey cycles. In addition, we may need to reposition our vessels and charter-in outside vessels to accommodate our dry-docking schedule and business needs. The loss of earnings while the vessels are being dry-docked, the repositioning of our vessels in response to the dry-dockings, the costs of the dry-dockings, and the possible charter-in expense in response to the dry-dockings could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

addition, we may need to reposition our vessels and charter-in outside vessels to accommodate our dry-docking schedule and business needs. The loss of earnings while the vessels are being dry-docked, the repositioning of our vessels in response to the dry-dockings, the costs of the dry-dockings, and the possible charter-in expense in response to the dry-dockings could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations.

Our vessels may suffer damage and we may need to unexpectedly dry-dock a vessel, which could adversely affect our operations. If a vessel suffers damage, it may need to be repaired at a dry-docking facility. The costs of dry-dock repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. The loss of earnings while the vessel is being repaired and our other vessels are being repositioned in response to the unexpected dry-docking, as well as the actual costs of the repairs, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations. We may not have insurance that is sufficient to cover all of these costs or losses.

We may not be able to acquire additional vessels at favorable prices. Part of our current business strategy includes growing through the acquisition of additional vessels, both new and secondhand. Acquisitions of new vessels often require the expenditure of substantial sums in the form of down payments and progress payments during the construction phase. If we are unable to complete payments under any of our newbuildings contracts, we may forfeit all or a portion of the down payments and progress payments made with respect to such contracts. There can be no assurance that the contracted newbuildings will be completed on schedule or at all. Delays in the delivery of, or failure to deliver, one or more of such vessels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that the contracted newbuildings will be completed on schedule or at all. Delays in the delivery of, or failure to deliver, one or more of such vessels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

In the secondhand market, we must devote significant time and resources to identifying and inspecting suitable vessels. Secondhand vessels generally carry no warranties from their sellers or manufacturers. In addition, our inspections of secondhand vessels prior to purchase would not normally provide us with the same knowledge about the vessel’s condition as we would have if the vessel had been built for or operated by us. Secondhand vessels may have conditions or defects that were not known to us when we bought the vessel and that may require us to undertake costly repairs. These repairs may require us to put a vessel into dry-dock, which would reduce our fleet utilization. The costs of dry-dock repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. The loss of earnings while our vessels were being repaired and repositioned, as well as the actual cost of those repairs, would decrease our income from operations. We may not have insurance that is sufficient to cover all of these costs or losses and may have to pay dry-docking costs not covered by our insurance. Our future operating results could be adversely affected if some of the secondhand vessels do not perform as we expect.

We also intend to expand the size of our fleet by in-chartering vessels. We may not be able to in charter suitable vessels at acceptable rates and charter periods. If our fleet decreases below the number of vessels needed to meet our commitments or the cost of in-chartering vessels increases above pre-determined prices, we may suffer losses.

We cannot assure you that we will identify and acquire a sufficient quantity of vessels to support our growth strategy, or that we will be able to acquire suitable vessels at favorable prices. A significant decrease in the number of vessels in our fleet could adversely affect our ability to market our fleet and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

The market value of vessels can and will fluctuate significantly. Market values of vessels are highly volatile and will continue to fluctuate depending on numerous factors, including economic and market conditions affecting the shipping industry and prevailing charter hire rates, vessel supply and rates of vessel scrapping, competition from other shipping companies and other modes of transportation, the type, size and age of vessels, applicable governmental regulations and the cost of new ship buildings. If the market value of our fleet declines, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us or at all in connection with future vessel acquisitions or for other purposes. In addition, if the book value of a vessel is impaired due to unfavorable market conditions, or if we sell a vessel at a price below its book value, that decline would result in a loss that would adversely affect our operating results.

In addition, if the book value of a vessel is impaired due to unfavorable market conditions, or if we sell a vessel at a price below its book value, that decline would result in a loss that would adversely affect our operating results.

Our customers may default on their contractual obligations. We operate in a highly fragmented market, and our customer base is diverse. Although we try to ensure that we do business with high quality customers as frequently as possible, we cannot assure you that all of our business will be transacted with such customers. Often, there is limited financial information available about our customers. As a result, counterparty risk is largely assessed on the basis of their reputation in the market place, and there can be no assurance that any of our customers can fulfill their obligations under the contracts we enter into with them. Potential risks associated with a defaulting counterparty include non-payment of freight and hire, and the cost of shipping cargo to its destination if it was already loaded on our vessel at the time of the default. In the case of a default on a time-chartered vessel, additional costs such as port expenses and stevedoring costs may be incurred. There can be no assurance that our customers will not default on their obligations under our contracts with them. Any such default may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our insurance may be insufficient to cover the inherent operational risks associated with our business, and we may be unable to maintain our existing insurance coverage. The operation of any oceangoing vessel carries with it an inherent risk of sinking, collision, and other marine disasters, environmental mishaps, property losses or damages, and interruption caused by mechanical failure, human error, political action, labor strikes, adverse weather conditions and other circumstances or events. Any such circumstance or event could result in a loss of revenues, liabilities or increased costs. We cannot assure you that any insurance we maintain would be sufficient to cover the cost of damages or the loss of income resulting from a vessel being removed from operation, or that any insurance claims would be paid. Any significant loss or liability for which we are not insured, or for which our insurers fail to pay us, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, the loss of a vessel would adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations. In addition, stricter environmental regulations may result in increased costs for, or the unavailability of, insurance against the risks of environmental damage or pollution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future.

We may experience fluctuations in our operating results. Our operating results are highly dependent on the prevailing charter rates in a given time period. Charter rates are based, in part, on supply and demand, and are extremely competitive. Significant fluctuations in charter rates may result in significant fluctuations in the earnings of our vessels. If rates were to decrease significantly, or if we do not successfully arrange charters for our vessels, our earnings could be adversely impacted.

Our operating results also may be adversely affected by increases in our operating expenses. The potential risks that may add to overall expenses include unexpected labor strikes, severe weather conditions, lengthy quarantines, mechanical failures or human error (including revenue lost in off-hire days), arrest action against our vessels due to failure to pay debts, unexpected repairs and increases in bunker costs.

Acts of god, acts of war, terrorist attacks, epidemics and other events could adversely affect our business. Our business is subject to general economic and social conditions around the world, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. Natural disasters, epidemics, acts of god and other events which are beyond our control may adversely affect local economies, infrastructures and livelihoods. Our business, operating results and financial position may be adversely affected if such disasters, acts or events occur, even if they occur in areas in which we do not directly operate.

23 Acts of war may cause damage or disruption to our business, employees, facilities, markets and our customers, any of which could materially impact our revenues, costs of operations, overall results and financial condition or share price. The potential for war also may cause uncertainty and cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot currently predict. Our present geographic focus on Asia may make us vulnerable in the event of increased tension or hostilities in many countries including China, Taiwan or North Korea. The agreements pursuant to which we may time charter in or time charter out a vessel typically contain a war cancellation clause exercisable by either party to the agreement.

We are exposed to currency and interest rate fluctuations. The currency for all our financial reporting is US dollars. Because we generate nearly all our revenues in US dollars, but incur some of our costs, expenses and capital expenditures in other currencies, exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operations. A change in exchange rates could lead to fluctuations in reported net income due to changes in the value of these currencies relative to the US dollar. In addition, because our debt bears interest at a floating rate, and some or all of the new debt that may be incurred by us may bear interest at floating rates, increases in interest rates could increase our interest expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.21

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers and our ability to maintain a skilled labor force, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lose their services. Our future success depends substantially on the continued services of our executive officers, especially Mr. Xinyu Zhang, our Chief Executive Officer. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Zhang, and we do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our executive officers. In addition, Mr. Zhang does not devote his full business time and attention to our business. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new officers. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to readily replace any departing executive officers, if at all.

Our future success also depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel. Recruiting and retaining capable personnel, particularly those with expertise in the maritime shipping industry, are vital to our success. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain our personnel. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We may not be able to grow or to effectively manage our growth. A principal focus of our strategy is to grow by expanding our existing customer relationships, developing new customer relationships, and taking advantage of changing market conditions, which may include changing the composition of our fleet, expanding or changing our geographic focus, entering into new strategic alliances or engaging in the seaborne transportation of other commodities. Our future growth will depend upon a number of factors, some of which we cannot control. These factors include our ability to:

• identify suitable secondhand vessels or new vessels for purchase, and to integrate any acquired vessels successfully with our existing operations; • identify businesses engaged in managing, operating, or owning bulk carriers for acquisition; • improve our operating and financial systems and controls; • hire, train and retain qualified personnel to manage and operate our growing business and fleet; and • identify new markets and trade routes.

• hire, train and retain qualified personnel to manage and operate our growing business and fleet; and • identify new markets and trade routes.

The failure to manage any of these factors effectively could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

All of our revenue is derived from operations outside the U.S. and may be adversely affected by actions taken by foreign governments or other forces or events over which we have no control. We derive all of our revenue from operations in Asia. Our profitability will be affected by changing economic, political and social conditions in this region. In particular, our operations may be affected by war, terrorism, expropriation of vessels, the imposition of taxes, increased regulation or other circumstances, any of which could reduce our profitability, impair our assets or cause us to curtail our operations.

If Yongchen defaults under its loan agreement, it could forfeit its rights in Qiao Yin. We have pledged Qiao Yin as security to our lender under our loan agreement. If an event of default shall occur, our lender may foreclose on the mortgage over Qiao Yin, and we could lose our rights in Qiao Yin and its charter.

Our limited operating history makes evaluation of our business difficult. Yongchen was incorporated in September, 2005, and Hengzhou was incorporated in July, 2006. As a result, we have limited historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses or forecast accurately our future operating results.

Our principal stockholder owns a significant percentage of our stock and can exercise significant influence over our company. Yongzheng International Marine Holdings Co., Ltd. owns approximately 76% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, it is able to determine the composition of our Board, has the voting power to approve matters requiring stockholder approval, and will continue to have significant influence over our affairs. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

25 If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal and disclosure controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. Internal and disclosure controls are intended to help us provide reliable financial reports, effectively prevent fraud and operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our securities. We have discovered deficiencies in our internal controls as defined under interim standards adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board that required remediation. As we continue our ongoing review and analysis of internal control over financial reporting for compliance with the Act, we may encounter problems or delays in completing the review and evaluation and implementing improvements. Additionally, we may identify deficiencies that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Should we, or our independent registered public accounting firm, determine in future periods that we have significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we are unable to receive a positive attestation from our independent auditors, our results of operations or financial condition may be

adversely affected, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and the price of our common stock may decline.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock

If we are late in filing our quarterly or annual reports with the SEC, we may be de-listed from the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Pursuant to Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board rules relating to the timely filing of periodic reports with the SEC, any OTC Bulletin Board issuer which fails to file a periodic report (Form 10-Q’s or 10-K’s) by the due date of such report, three (3) times during any twenty-four (24) month period is automatically de-listed from the OTC Bulletin Board. Such removed issuer would not be re-eligible to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board for a period of one-year, during which time any subsequent late filing would reset the one-year period of de-listing. This Annual Report on Form 10-K is being filed late, and we did not file our 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30^th, 2009 on a timely basis either. If we are late in our filings three times in any twenty-four (24) month period and are de-listed from the OTC Bulletin Board, our securities may become worthless and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business plan.

Our right to issue preferred stock and provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law could adversely affect our stockholders or prevent or delay a change of control. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of preferred stock with such designations, rights, and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Therefore, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock, and could discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change of control.

In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation law which applies to “business combinations” such as a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction that result in financial benefit to an “interested stockholder”. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior, did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. Section 203 generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:


	•	prior to entering into the business combination, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

	•	upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

	•	on or subsequent to that time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

This provision may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control over our company without further action by our stockholders.

Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our stockholders. The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the stock market in which shares of our common stock are quoted, generally have been very volatile and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

• announcements of technological innovations or new services by us or our competitors; • variations in our operating results; • changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

26• changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; • additions or departures of key personnel; • future sales of our common stock (including shares to be issued pursuant to the Ship Contribution Agreements); • price and volume fluctuations experienced by domestic and international stock markets; and • general economic and political conditions.

• changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; • changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry; • additions or departures of key personnel; • future sales of our common stock (including shares to be issued pursuant to the Ship Contribution Agreements); • price and volume fluctuations experienced by domestic and international stock markets; and • general economic and political conditions.

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

The market for our common stock is not active. There is a limited market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a more active market for our common stock will develop. Accordingly, investors may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our common stock for an indefinite period of time.

The OTC Bulletin Board is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Because trades and quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing, and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery ~~of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.~~

of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.

When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of the order entry.

Orders for OTC Bulletin Board securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTC Bulletin Board trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, you may not able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices.

The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) on the OTC Bulletin Board may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of our common stock if such shares must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate “paper” loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTC Bulletin Board may be decreased or eliminated.

We are subject to the penny stock rules and these rules may adversely affect trading in our common stock. Our common stock is a “low-priced” security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies, and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers also must disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions probably decreases the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, decreases liquidity of our common stock, increases transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities, and increases the difficulty for us raise additional equity capital.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those discussed above under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See “Forward Looking Statements”.

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 Management Discussion is focused on the current and historical operations of Yongchen and Hengzhou (and our other subsidiaries), and excludes the operations of Sino Shipping Holdings Inc. prior to the Share Exchange.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ~~of America~~. We have identified the ~~accounting~~ accounting policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the ~~application~~ ~~of these and other accounting policies, see Note 3 to our audited financial statements. The~~ application of these policies may require management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

~~Depreciation~~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 us. We record time charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis ~~over~~as the ~~estimated~~average ~~useful~~revenue ~~life~~over the term of ~~each~~the time charter agreement. We recognize vessel operating expenses, which isinclude crew ~~approximately~~wages 30and ~~years.~~related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses

Vessels and vessel components. 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.

The carrying value of the vessels are 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 vessels exceed their undiscounted estimated future cash flows, the vessels would be written down to its fair value.

Vessel component inventories represent components that are either used in the construction or repair of our vessels or, if not used, are resold. Vessel component inventories are stated at cost less any write downs to estimated fair market value based on market conditions.

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 September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements, and requires new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Positions (FSPs) No. 157-1 and No. 157-2, which, respectively, remove leasing transactions from the scope of SFAS 157 and defer its effective date for one year relative to certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. As a result, the application of the definition of fair value and related disclosures of SFAS 157 (as impacted by these two FSPs) was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 on a prospective basis with respect to fair value measurements of all financial assets and liabilities. This adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition. The remaining aspects of SFAS 157 for which the effective date was deferred under FSP No. 157-2 are currently being evaluated by the Company. Areas impacted by the deferral relate to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. This deferral applies to items such as long-lived asset groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The effects of the remaining aspects of SFAS 157 are to be applied by the Company to fair value measurements prospectively beginning January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

In ~~February~~December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. ~~159,~~141 ~~“The~~(revised ~~Fair~~2007) ~~Value~~“Business ~~Option~~Combinations” ~~for Financial~~(“SFAS ~~Assets and Financial Liabilities~~141R”), ~~including~~as codified anin ~~amendment~~ASC ofTopic ~~FASB Statement~~805 ~~No.~~(“ASC ~~115~~805”,). ~~which~~The ~~allows~~objective anof ~~entity~~ASC ~~the~~805 ~~irrevocable~~is ~~option~~ to ~~elect fair~~improve ~~value~~the ~~for~~relevance, ~~the~~representational ~~initial~~faithfulness and ~~subsequent~~comparability ~~measurement~~of ~~for certain financial assets~~the ~~and~~information ~~liabilities~~that ona anreporting ~~instrument-by-instrument~~entity ~~basis.~~provides ~~Subsequent~~in ~~measurements for~~its ~~the~~ financial ~~assets~~reports ~~and~~about ~~liabilities an entity elects to record at fair~~a ~~value~~business ~~will~~combination beand ~~recognized~~its ~~in earnings~~effects. ~~SFAS~~To ~~No.~~accomplish ~~159~~this, ~~also~~ASC ~~establishes~~805 ~~additional~~establishes ~~disclosure~~principles and requirements. ~~SFAS No. 159 is effective~~ for ~~fiscal~~how ~~years~~the ~~beginning after~~acquirer ~~November~~(a) ~~15,~~recognizes ~~2007,~~and ~~with~~measures ~~early adoption permitted provided that the entity~~in ~~also~~its ~~adopts SFAS No.~~

In ~~May~~ April ~~2008~~2009, the FASB issued ~~SFAS~~FSP ~~No.~~FAS ~~162~~107-1 and APB 28-1, “~~The~~Interim ~~Hierarchy~~Disclosures about Fair Value of ~~Generally~~Financial ~~Accepted~~Instruments” ~~Accounting~~which ~~Principles~~is codified as FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” (“~~SFAS~~ASC ~~162~~825”). ~~SFAS~~ ~~162~~ASC ~~identifies~~825 ~~the~~amends SFAS ~~sources~~No. of107, ~~accounting~~“Disclosures ~~principles~~About ~~and~~Fair ~~the~~Value ~~framework~~of ~~for~~Financial ~~selecting~~Instruments,” ~~the~~now codified ~~principles~~in ASC 825, to berequire ~~used~~disclosures inabout ~~the~~fair ~~preparation~~value of financial ~~statements~~ ofinstruments ~~nongovernmental~~for ~~entities~~interim ~~that~~reporting ~~are~~periods ~~presented~~of inpublicly ~~conformity~~traded ~~with~~companies ~~generally~~as well ~~accepted~~as ~~accounting~~in ~~principles.~~annual ~~SFAS~~financial ~~162~~statements. ~~directs~~This ~~the~~issuance ~~hierarchy~~also toamends ~~the~~APB ~~entity~~Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting” ~~rather~~now ~~than~~codified ~~the~~in ~~independent~~FASB ~~auditors~~Topic 270 “Interim Reporting” (“ASC 270”), asto ~~the~~require ~~entity~~those isdisclosures ~~responsible~~in ~~for~~summarized ~~selecting~~financial ~~accounting~~information ~~principles~~at ~~for~~interim ~~financial~~reporting ~~statements~~periods. ~~that~~FSP ~~are~~FAS ~~presented~~107-1 and APB 28-1, now codified in ASC 825, were effective for interim reporting periods ending ~~conformity~~after June 15, 2009, with ~~generally~~early ~~accepted~~adoption ~~accounting~~permitted ~~principles.~~for ~~SFAS~~periods ~~162,~~ending isafter ~~effective~~March 6015, ~~days~~2009. ~~following~~The ~~SEC~~issuance ~~approval~~does ofnot ~~the~~require ~~Public~~disclosures ~~Company~~for ~~Accounting~~earlier periods ~~Oversight~~presented ~~Board~~for ~~(“PCAOB”)~~comparative ~~amendments~~purposes toat ~~remove~~initial ~~the~~adoption. ~~hierarchy~~In ofperiods ~~generally~~after ~~accepted~~initial ~~accounting~~adoption, ~~principles~~it ~~from~~requires ~~the~~comparative ~~auditing~~disclosures ~~standards~~only for periods ending after initial adoption. ~~SFAS~~The ~~162~~adoption isof ~~not expected~~ASC to825 did not have ana ~~impact~~material impact on the ~~Company’s~~ 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 and FAS 124-2”), which are codified in ASC 320. 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 this guaidance did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB released 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”), now codified in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”). This issuance provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. ASC 820 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and the adoption of ASC 820 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”), as codified in FASB ASC Topic 855 (“ASC 855”). ASC 855 established standards of accounting for and disclosures

of subsequent events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 requires the disclosure of the date through which the subsequent events have been evaluated as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This guidance is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB amended the subsequent events guidance issued in May 2009 to remove the requirement for SEC filers to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. The amendment is effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) as codified in FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments will significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. This statement will be effective for our company beginning in fiscal 2010. We are still assessing whether ASC 810 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”), as codified in FASB ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”). ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the sources for authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards under U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. ASC 105 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, upon the adoption of SFAS 168, now codified as ASC 105, effective September 1, 2009, we began to reference the new Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature when referring to U.S. GAAP in our public filings. The Codification is not intended to nor does it change existing U.S. GAAP and adoption will not have any impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, ~~and basic chemical and petrochemical products~~ in China and Southeast Asia.

We have agreed to ~~terminate~~acquire two chemical tankers that ~~charter~~have ~~agreement~~yet to be constructed.

~~The~~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	—	October, 2009	To be determined

Qiao Yin	1991	Yongchen	—	November, 2005	July 8, 2009
Heng Zhou	2007	Hengzhou	—	May, 2007	To be determined


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

32 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.

Operating earnings decreased from $5,956,371 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to an operating loss of $150,836 for the year ended December 31, 2009, a decline of $6,107,207 or 103%. 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, (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, and (v) the sale of the vessel Heng Zhou on July 18, 2009.

Other expenses. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were primarily comprised of noncash items made up of write down of vessel components, write down of prepayment of vessel components, and loss on disposal of vessel, in aggregate amount of $3,678,176. Loss on impairment of vessels for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2,624,628. Other expenses also included interest expense, which primarily reflects the finance cost of Yongchen’s bank loan. Interest expense was $6,813 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $30,269 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Net loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $3,835,825, or 74% of revenue, compared to net income of $3,301,474, or 12% of revenue, for the year ended December 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 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, (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, (v) the sale of the vessel Heng Zhou on July 18, 2009, and (vi) write down of vessel components and write down of prepayment of vessel components.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

At December 31, ~~2008~~2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~111~~10,~~750~~609. We did not engage in any hedging activities relating to foreign exchange, interest rates or other risks for the year ended December 31, ~~2008~~2009.

At December 31, ~~2008~~2009, our current assets were $26,~~242~~105,~~072~~301 and current liabilities were $~~413~~239,~~035~~691, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 525.4347 to 1. At December 31, ~~2007~~2008, our current assets and current liabilities were $2,~~982~~242,~~936~~072 and $~~435~~413,~~535~~035, respectively, resulting in a current ratio of approximately 65.8543 to 1.

Net cash ~~from~~provided by operating activities was $7237,~~358,234~~510 for the year ended December 31, ~~2008~~ 2009 compared to $27,~~844~~358,~~077~~234 for the year ended December 31, ~~2007~~2008. This ~~increase~~ decrease of net operating cash inflow was mainly attributable to ana ~~increase~~decrease in ~~operating~~ net income.

34 Net cash used in financing activities was $309,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $217,080 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase of net cash used in financing activities was attributable to principal payments on our bank loan.

Net cash used in ~~financing~~investing activities was $~~217~~29,~~080~~651 for the year ended December 31, ~~2008~~2009 ~~and~~compared ~~net~~to ~~cash from financing activities was~~ $17,~~905~~145,~~153~~815 for the year ended December 31, ~~2007~~2008. This increase of net cash ~~outflow~~from investing activities was mainly attributable to the ~~repayment~~sale of the vessel Heng Zhou and the ~~bank~~reduction ~~loan~~in the purchase of vessel components.

~~Net~~On ~~cash~~June ~~used~~29, in2009, ~~investing~~our ~~activities~~wholly-owned ~~was~~subsidiary, $7Hengzhou entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with Mr. Wing Chan pursuant to which Hengzhou sold its vessel,~~145~~ Heng Zhou,~~815~~ to Mr. Chan for ~~the~~$8,051,292 ~~year~~which ~~ended~~was ~~December~~payable as follows: $200,000 on 31July 20, ~~2008~~2009, ~~compared~~$3 tomillion on or before October 20, 2009, $4 million on or before December 31,~~665~~ 2009,~~545~~ ~~for~~and ~~the~~$851,292 ~~year~~on ~~ended~~or ~~December~~before March 31, ~~2007~~2010. ~~This increase~~After receiving the initial payment of ~~net~~$200,000, ~~cash~~no ~~outflow~~additional ~~was~~payments ~~mainly~~were ~~attributable~~received.

We believe that the anticipated higher revenues from our vessel Nan Jing (as freight rates continue to rise) as well as further reductions in our cost structure will generate cash from operations that are sufficient to funds our business for the next twelve months. If our beliefs are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional capital, and there can be no assurance that we will consummate any financing on reasonable terms or at all.

We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures for 2010.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

WeDisclosure ~~maintain disclosure~~ controls and procedures ~~that~~ are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

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 December 31, ~~2008~~2009. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief ~~Financial~~ Financial Officer, has concluded that, because of staffing weaknesses and the other reasons described below, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, as of December 31, 2009, 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13(a)−15(f) or Rule15d−15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies of procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, utilizing the criteria set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring

Based upon such assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, ~~2008~~2009. In particular:

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.


•	Controls were not designed and in place to ensure that we properly and timely evaluated impairment of vessel components and vessel component prepayments, and accounted for them in the proper periods.

•	We did not maintain effective controls over the period-end and year-end closing process to ensure the accurate processing our accounts so as to enable us to report our results on a timely basis.

The following list describes remedial actions that we have implemented or will be implementing to address our deficiencies:

•	We hired a new Chief Financial Officer on November 12, 2009 who is familiar with U.S. GAAP reporting requirements.

•	Our Chief Financial Officer will evaluate impairment of assets on a periodic basis.

•	Our Chief Financial Officer will work more closely with accounting personnel to ensure accurate and timely period-end and year-end financial reporting.

•	Additional training in U.S. GAAP will be provided to our accounting personnel.


•	As necessary, we will engage independent outside accounting consultants to augment our accounting department.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. ~~Our~~ Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on on our ~~audit~~audits.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required, nor have we been engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our ~~audit~~ audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentations. We believe that our ~~audit~~ ~~provides~~audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Sino Shipping Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the ~~year~~years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

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.

Due from charterers, net

Due from charterers, net includes accounts receivable from charters net of the provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, the Company provides for the provision based on a review of all outstanding charter receivables and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, charterer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. As of December 31, ~~2007~~2009 and 2008, the Company had no reserve ~~against due from charterers~~ as it has deemed the entire balance to be fully collectible.

Prepayment of vessel components

~~Prepayments~~The Company has a contract for purchase of vessel components. Prepayment of vessel components at December 31, ~~2008~~2009 and ~~2007~~2008 ~~represent~~represents advances made under this contract, ~~for~~which upon receipt of delivery are classified as vessel components. ~~purchases~~The Company has written down prepayment of vessel components, ~~which~~to ~~upon~~equal ~~receipt~~the difference between the carrying value of ~~delivery~~the ~~are~~underlying ~~reclassified~~vessel components and asthe estimated fair value of the vessel components based on market conditions. Write downs recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $382,821 and nil, respectively.

Vessels and vessel components

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 inventory write downs recorded for the ~~evaluation~~years ~~described~~ended ~~above~~December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $2,196,533 and nil, respectively.

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,” as codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Subtopic 360-10, 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~~ asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the ~~assets~~asset exceeds ~~the~~its 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~~Dry-docking provisions

In order to preserve the quality of the Company’s vessels, and to comply with ~~international~~ 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 ~~2008,~~Company nodefers ~~vessels~~the incosts associated with the ~~fleet~~dry-dockings ~~underwent~~as they occur and amortizes these costs on a straight-line basis over the period between dry-dockings. Costs deferred as part of the dry-docking include ~~period~~actual costs incurred at the drydock yard and parts and supplies used. In October 2009, Nan Jing was dry-docked and incurred dry-docking costs of $229,651, of which $64,445 remains outstanding at December 31, 2009. Amortization expense for dry-docking for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $15,310 and nil, respectively.

F-11

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.~~

F-11

determined that it operates in one reportable segment, namely 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~~The ~~January 1, 2007, the~~ Company adopted ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“~~FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), —codified anas ~~interpretation~~ASC Subtopic of740-10-25 ~~SFAS No. 109,~~ (“~~Accounting~~ASC ~~for Income Taxes.~~740-10-25” ). 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~~ASC 48740-10-25, 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~~ASC 740-10-25 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

~~The~~As ~~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 ~~year~~years ended December 31, ~~2008~~2009 and ~~2007~~2008, the Company did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

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~~charges for long-lived assets, useful lives of vessels, and useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Fair value of financial instruments

~~SFAS~~The ~~No.~~carrying ~~107,~~amounts ~~“Disclosures about~~reported ~~Fair~~in ~~Value of Financial Instruments,” requires~~ the ~~disclosure of~~consolidated ~~fair~~financial ~~values~~statements for ~~all~~current assets ~~financial instruments, both on-~~ and ~~off-balance-sheet, for~~current ~~which~~liabilities itapproximate ~~is practicable to estimate~~ fair value. ~~The~~due ~~carrying~~to ~~amounts~~the short-term ~~reported~~nature inof ~~the~~these ~~consolidated~~ financial ~~statements~~instruments. ~~for current assets and current~~

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” as codified in FASB ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”) 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 ASC 820, 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.

~~Earnings~~Loss/earnings per common share

~~Earnings~~Loss/earnings per share ~~are~~is based on the weighted average number of ~~shares of~~ common ~~stock outstanding~~shares outstanding for the period presented. At 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. The warrant exprires on March 31, 2018.

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

~~Distributions~~Dividends ~~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.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to balances in the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on the Company’s net income for the prior year.

4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In ~~September~~December ~~2006~~2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. ~~157,~~141 ~~“Fair~~(revised ~~Value~~2007) ~~Measurements~~“Business Combinations” (“SFAS ~~157~~ 141R”)., ~~SFAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework~~as ~~for~~codified ~~measuring~~in ~~fair~~ASC ~~value,~~Topic ~~sets~~805 ~~out~~(“ASC a805”). ~~fair~~The ~~value~~objective ~~hierarchy~~of toASC be805 ~~used~~is to ~~classify~~ improve the ~~source~~relevance, ofrepresentational ~~information~~faithfulness ~~used~~and incomparability ~~fair~~of ~~value measurements, and~~the ~~requires~~information ~~new~~that ~~disclosures~~a ofreporting ~~assets~~entity ~~and~~provides ~~liabilities~~in ~~measured~~its atfinancial ~~fair~~reports ~~value~~about ~~based~~a onbusiness ~~their~~combination ~~level~~and inits ~~the hierarchy~~effects. ~~This~~To ~~statement~~accomplish ~~applies~~this, ~~under~~ASC ~~other~~805 ~~accounting~~establishes ~~pronouncements~~principles ~~that~~and ~~require~~requirements orfor ~~permit~~how ~~fair value measurements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), as codified in FASB ASC Subtopic 810-10, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810-10”). ASC 810-10 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. Additionally, ASC 810-10 revises the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement and also establishes guidelines for accounting for changes in ownership percentages and for deconsolidation. ASC 810-10 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 ASC 810-10 did not to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 168”), as codified in FASB ASC 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASC 105”). ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”) as the sources for authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards under U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. ASC 105 was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, upon the adoption of SFAS 168, now codified as ASC 105, effective September 1, 2009, the Company began to reference the new Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature when referring to U.S. GAAP in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and all subsequent public filings.
