Mr. Lei Cao, Chief Executive Officer of Sino-Global, commented, "The successful closing of this acquisition puts Sino-Global ahead of schedule as we diversify our core business into the fast growing cryptocurrency market.  Acquiring nearly 3,000 digital currency mining servers gives us a substantial platform, one we intend to grow both organically and through additional M&A opportunities if they meet our valuation, performance and location criteria.  Having been in business since 2001, we believe we can leverage our extensive trading and logistics experience to create even greater value for the company and shareholders."
