SINOHUB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
Overview
 
SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) provides products and services to suppliers and purchasers of electronic components in connection with the manufacture and assembly of electronic products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, approximately 93% of the Company’s revenues are derived from the sale of electronic components and assemblies to contract manufacturers and design houses which are engaged in the manufacture of mobile phones, network equipment and other electronics products in the PRC.  These sales occur either as procurement-fulfillment projects or as one-off electronic component sales.
 
In connection with the supply of such components and products, the Company also provides supply chain management services from which we derive approximately 7% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
The Company began another business activity in the third quarter of 2009 to source and sell mobile phones to emerging markets (e.g. Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and India).   Revenue from this activity was insignificant in the third quarter of 2009.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated financial results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
 
These consolidated financial statements do not include all the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
History and Basis of Reporting
 
SinoHub, Inc. (formerly known as Liberty Alliance, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation, originally organized in Utah in 1986, and subsequently merged and reorganized as Liberty Alliance, Inc. in Delaware in 1991.  Liberty Alliance, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in 1994 and the filing was closed in 1995.  Liberty Alliance, Inc. remained dormant until 2006 when it began preparing to become a public shell company and seek new business opportunities.  In August 2006 the Company changed its name to Vestige, Inc., and in September 2006 the Company changed its name back to Liberty Alliance, Inc.
 
In May 2008, Liberty Alliance, Inc., SinoHub Acquisition Corp., known as the Merger Sub, SinoHub, Inc., known as the Acquired Sub, and Steven L. White, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into the Acquired Sub, with the Acquired Sub being the surviving corporation.  In connection with the merger, Liberty Alliance, Inc. issued to the stockholders of the Acquired Sub 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s preferred and common stock and the Company assumed options exercisable for additional shares of common stock.  At the closing, Liberty Alliance, Inc. also issued 510,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with the Merger.  The vast majority of these shares were issued to a consultant, who provided consulting services to help the company engage SEC counsel and investment bankers in the process of the Company’s Chinese operations becoming part of a public entity through a reverse merger and raising a private investment in public equity.  In particular, this investment consultant also advised the Company directly in consummating a reverse merger involving a NASD over-the-counter bulletin board shell company.  Immediately following the merger, the Company had 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and options exercisable for an additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of common stock.  The conclusion of these events was deemed to be a reverse takeover transaction, or RTO, after which the original stockholders of the Company held approximately 6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis and the Acquired Sub’s stockholders, including the shares issued to consultants, held approximately 94% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
 
 
In June 2008, the Company approved a reverse stock split of 1 share for every 3.5 common stock shares outstanding; outstanding common stock shares and stock options were adjusted to account for the effects of the reverse stock split.
 
In July 2008, the Company changed its name from Liberty Alliance, Inc. to SinoHub, Inc. and the Acquired Sub changed its name from SinoHub, Inc. to SinoHub International, Inc.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the RTO has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of the Acquired Sub become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Share and per share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split for all periods presented.  In addition, the presentation for all periods includes equity transactions of the Acquired Sub as adjusted for the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split.
 
Organization Structure

The current operations of the Company include the following subsidiaries:

SinoHub International, Inc. was incorporated in March 1999 as a Delaware C corporation in the United States of America.  This company is the holding company for the Chinese and Hong Kong subsidiaries listed below. SinoHub International, Inc. is wholly owned by SinoHub, Inc.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results and require our management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. 
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Concentrations and Risks
 
Substantially all of Company's assets are located in the PRC and Hong Kong and substantially all of the Company's revenues were derived from customers located in the PRC.  In addition, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.  The Company mitigates credit risk through procedures that include determination of credit limits, credit approvals, and related monitoring procedures to ensure delinquent receivables are collected.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months.  Cash amounts held as security for the Company’s bank loans are reported as restricted cash and are not included with cash or cash equivalents on the balance sheet until the security for such funds has been released.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on managements’ assessment of customer credit history, overall trends in collections and write-offs, and expected exposures based on facts and prior experience.  On September 30, 2009, the Company reduced its bad debt provision from the prior quarter’s rate of 4.5% to 2.7% of accounts receivable.  The reduction of $492,000 was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative Expense.  In the year-earlier period, the Company considered all outstanding accounts receivable to be collectible and no provision for doubtful accounts was made in the financial statements.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at cost, cost being determined on a first in first out method.  No allowance is made for excess or obsolete inventories as inventories are held for a short period of time and are substantially related to specific customer order commitments.  Inventory consists of electronic components purchased from suppliers.
 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual values over the assets’ estimated useful lives.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Plant and machinery  5 Years
Motor vehicles  5 Years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment                             2 to 5 Years
                          
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company considers various factors, including future cash flows, to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds fair value, and in that case, the asset is written down to fair value.  No impairment of long-lived assets was determined to exist as of September 30, 2009.
 
 
Accrued Expense and Other Liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily consist of payroll and professional services related accruals and customer deposits.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments that may have features of both liabilities and equity under SFAS 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity” (ASC Topic 480-10) SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (ASC Topic 815) and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” (ASC Topic 815) At present, there are no such instruments in the financial statements.  The Company also analyzes registration rights agreements associated with any equity instruments issued to determine if penalties triggered for late filing should be accrued under FSP EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements.” (ASC Topic 825)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," (ASC Topic 825) requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.  Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.

SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

SFAS No. 157 (ASC Topic 820) establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS 157 (ASC Topic 820) establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank borrowings, notes payable and other liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.  Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company’s operations are primarily based in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks and opportunities from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar (“USD”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). In July 2005, the PRC allowed the RMB to fluctuate within a narrow range ending its decade-old valuation peg to the USD.  Since this change in 2005, the RMB has experienced positive trends in valuation against the USD; such trends are reflected in part by the foreign currency translation gains reported in the Company’s financial statements.
 
 
Derivative Instruments
 
The Company does not utilize derivative or hedge instruments in its financing activities.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments.” (ASC Topic 718) This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost will be recognized over the period during which services are received.  Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with SFAS 123R (ASC Topic 718) and the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18") (ASC Topic 505-50), as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.

Revenue Recognition

The Company reports revenue from supply chain management, or SCM services and electronic components sales. Revenues for supply chain management services are earned from both the SCM services and procurement-fulfillment programs and are primarily based on a percentage of inventory value handled for a customer.  The Company recognizes revenue from SCM services when the services are provided.  Revenues from electronic components sales are based on quoted prices and are recognized at the time of shipment to customers.  Sales are recorded net of discounts and allowances.  In all cases, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” (ASC Topic 740)  Under SFAS 109 (ASC Topic 740), deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under SFAS 109 (ASC Topic 740), the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.

Foreign Currency Translation
 
SinoHub, Inc., SinoHub International, Inc., B2B Chips, Ltd., and SinoHub Technology Hong Kong, Ltd. maintain accounting records using the functional currencies, USD and Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) respectively.  SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd., SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd., SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd. and SinoHub Electronics Shanghai, Ltd. maintain accounting records using RMB as the functional currency.

The Company uses United State Dollar (“USD”) as its reporting currency.  The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS No. 52”) (ASC Topic 830).  The subsidiaries of the Company’s functional currencies are the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).  Under SFAS No. 52 (ASC Topic 830), all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date.  The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.  Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the period.

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to their functional currencies at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the approximate rates of exchange at that date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired.  Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
 
 
Comprehensive Income
 
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from the translation of the financial statements expressed in HKD and RMB to USD is reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity.

Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share is in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." (ASC Topic 260)  SFAS 128 (ASC Topic 260) requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.
 
Segments
 
The Company operates in one business segment.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or Codification), “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - Overall” (ASC Topic 105-10). The Codification established one source for all U.S. GAAP. The Codification supersedes, but does not change, all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. Throughout this report, references provided to applicable portions of the Codification also include reference to the original FASB standard (SFAS), staff position (FSP) or consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF).

In December 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 132(R)-1 “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”) (ASC Topic 715-20-65). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) requires more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets in a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) also requires, for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), disclosure of the effect of the measurements on changes in plan assets for the period. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP FAS 132(R)-1 (ASC Topic 715-20-65) must be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, it will not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”) (not part of the codification yet).  SFAS 166 amends various provisions of SFAS No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125” by removing the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes the exception from applying FIN 46(R) to variable interest entities that are qualifying special-purpose entities; limits the circumstances in which a transferor derecognizes a portion or component of a financial asset; defines a participating interest; requires a transferor to recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale; and requires enhanced disclosure; among others. SFAS 166 will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”) (not part of the codification yet). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 will be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity's first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company does not expect the standard to have any impact on the Company’s financial position.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (amendments to  ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures)” (“ASU 2009-05”)which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall (ASC Topic 820-10) to provide guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update requires clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1) a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset; or 2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in ASC Topic 820 such as the income and market approach to valuation. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This update further clarifies that if the fair value of a liability is determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability, that price would be considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Similarly, if the identical liability has a quoted price when traded as an asset in an active market, it is also a Level 1 fair value measurement if no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required. This update is effective for our fourth quarter 2009. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted.  Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU2009-13 on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, “Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to ASC Topic 985, Software)” (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2009-14 on our financial statements.

In October, 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-15, “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing”( amendments to ASC Topic 470, Debt)” (“ASU 2009-15”), and provides guidance for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance.  At the date of issuance, a share-lending arrangement entered into on an entity’s own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820 and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital.  Loaned shares are excluded from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs.  The amendments also require several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the arrangement.  The effective dates of the amendments are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009.   Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2009-15 on our financial statements.

5.           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
 
Merger and Reverse Stock Split

The company’s reverse merger transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of the Acquired Sub become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities.  In connection with the reverse merger, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, Inc. contributed 5,203,907 shares of common stock (adjusted for reverse stock split) held by him back to the Company for nil consideration.  Following the reverse merger, Liberty Alliance, Inc. issued to the stockholders of the Acquired Sub 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for one for 3.5 reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s common stock comprising 10,282,288 shares of common stock and 6,933,334 shares of Acquired Sub’s preferred stock, of which 3,000,000 were designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 3,000,000 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock), 2,333,334 shares were designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,333,334 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock), and 1,600,000 shares are designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,600,000 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock).  The Company also assumed options outstanding exercisable for additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) shares of common stock.  At the closing, Liberty Alliance, Inc. also issued 510,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with the Merger. Immediately following the merger, the Company had 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and options exercisable for an additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of common stock. 

The financial statements have been prepared as if the reverse merger transaction had occurred retroactively at the beginning of the periods presented.  Share and per share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split for all periods presented.  Accordingly, all of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s common stock and preferred stock at the completion date of the reverse merger transaction have been exchanged and converted to 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock for all periods presented.  In addition, the presentation for all periods includes equity share transactions of the Acquired Sub as adjusted for the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split.  All costs associated with the transaction were expensed as incurred.

Equity Share Transactions

In January 2009 certain employees exercised their stock options to purchase an aggregate of 78,809 shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $13,000. 

On August 6, 2009 we entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private placement for an aggregate of 342,862 shares of common stock, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,200,000.

In July 2009, the Company granted 64,894 shares for services to employees at a fair value of $184,299.
 
 
In August 2009, the Company issued 24,000 shares to third parties for consulting services at a fair value of $60,000.

In August 2009, a stockholder exercised his warrant to purchase 44,117 shares of common stock for $94,852.


6.
STOCK OPTIONS
 
 
The Company has granted qualified stock options under the Company’s 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2000 ISOP”) and 2008 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2008 ISOP”). At September 30, 2009, stock options to purchase 1,321,678 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $0.10 to $4.36 per share were outstanding.  The exercise prices were determined by the Board at the time of grant.  In each case the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the Board in good faith taking into account such factors as recent issuances of preferred stock with an appropriate discount factored in relative to the common shares.  The exercise prices for options issued under the 2000 ISOP following the sale of preferred stock by the Company during November and December of 2007 represent a discount to the issuance price of $0.78 for such preferred stock taking into account the added value of the conditions in the preferred stock (for example, it was redeemable with 10% appreciation).  The exercise prices for options issued in 2008 under the 2008 ISOP represent the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day preceding the grant date.  The exercise prices for options issued in 2009 under the 2008 ISOP represent the average of the closing price of the Company’s common stock for the five business days preceding the grant date.  The stock options granted become exercisable (“vested”) as to 25% of the original number of shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and as to an additional 6.25% of the original number of shares at the end of each successive three-month period following the first anniversary of the grant date until the fourth anniversary of the grant date.  Unless earlier terminated, these stock options granted shall expire ten years after the grant date.  Following the reverse merger, all preferred shares which were convertible on the basis of one share of preferred stock for one share of common stock issued were exchanged for common stocks of Liberty Alliance, Inc. retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Expected
Expected
Dividend
Risk Free
Grant Date
Life
Volatility
Yield
Interest Rate
Fair Value
         
The 2000 ISOP

The 2008 ISOP

83% - 121%
 0%
2.5%
$0.47 - $2.64

Expected Volatility: Expected volatility is computed based on the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return of days when the stock price changed over the past five years.

Dividend Yield: The expected dividend yield is zero.  The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.

Risk Free Rate: Risk-free interest rate of 2.5% was used.  The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term that corresponded to the expected term of the option calculated on the granted date.

Expected Life:  The expected life was determined based on the option’s contractual term and employees’ expected early exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior.
 

 
Stock compensation expense was recognized based on awards expected to vest.  There was no estimated forfeiture as the Company has a short history of issuing options.  SFAS No. 123R requires forfeiture to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

The Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 775,048 shares of common stock during the third quarter of 2009.  The Company recognized $272,000 in stock compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009.   For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the stock compensation expense was immaterial.  The Company recognized $298,000 and $6,000 in stock compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 respectively.  At September 30, 2009, unamortized compensation cost related to stock options was $1,608,000.

The Company’s President and his spouse provided guarantees to a bank for banking facilities extended to the Company.

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer provided a guarantee to a bank for banking facilities extended to the Company.

On April 13, 2009, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the holders of an aggregate of 7,352,750 shares of SinoHub common stock issued in respect of SinoHub International's Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock in connection with the reverse merger (the "Former Preferred Holders") providing them with demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to such shares on the condition that such rights will not be exercisable for a period of 180 days following the date on which the Company’s first S-1 became effective.  The S-1 became effective on May 12, 2009. The Former Preferred Holders include, among others, the Company's CEO, Henry T. Cochran, and Jan Rejbo, who owns approximately 18% of the Company's outstanding stock.  Prior to the reverse merger, the Former Preferred Holders were entitled to piggy back and demand registration rights with respect to the shares of SinoHub International common stock into which the shares of SinoHub International's Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible pursuant to the terms of certain Stock Purchase Agreements entered into among SinoHub International and such holders.  

Prior to the execution of such registration rights agreement, on March 6, 2009, the Company entered a waiver agreement with the respect to the separate registration rights agreement between the Company and the holders of common stock purchased in the Company's September 2008 private placement pursuant to which such holders consented to the inclusion in the S-1 that became effective on May 12, 2009 of the shares held by the Former Preferred Holders, and by certain other stockholders (the "Additional Stockholders"), including Lorikeet, Inc., a company beneficially owned by our former CEO Steven White.  The Additional Stockholders are entitled to piggyback registration rights under the terms of the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with SinoHub's reverse merger, and in accordance with such rights, the applicable shares owned by the Additional Stockholders were registered for resale in the S-1.


8.           INCOME TAXES
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an “entity” basis that is, on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.  It is management's intention to reinvest all the income earned by the Company’s subsidiaries outside of the US.  Accordingly, no US federal income taxes have been provided on earnings of foreign based subsidiaries.

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SinoHub International, Inc. are incorporated in the United States and have incurred operating losses since inception.  The Company has operating loss carry forwards (NOLs) for income taxes purposes of approximately $1.3 million at September 30, 2009 which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income.  These NOLs will expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2028.  Management believes the realization of tax benefits from these NOLs is uncertain due to the Company’s current operating history and continuing losses in the US for tax purposes.  Accordingly, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax benefit has been recorded.
 
 
The Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a statutory rate of 17.5%.  No provision for Hong Kong profits tax was required as these entities incurred losses during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  There are no tax loss carry forward provisions in Hong Kong.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries in China were subject to China income tax at a statutory rate of 25% in 2009 and 2008.  However, these subsidiaries are located in special economic regions and/or qualify as “new or high-technology enterprises” that are allowed special tax reductions until 2012.  The Company’s subsidiaries in China were subject to special tax rates of 19% in 2009 and 18% in 2008.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2008



Overall Results

The Company reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $3.5 million, a 10% decrease compared to $3.9 million in the year-earlier period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported net income of $8.7 million, a 58% increase over the $5.5 million reported in the same period in 2008.


Net Sales

Net sales for three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $36.2 million and $85.6 million respectively, up 28% and 62% from $28.2 million and $53.0 million recorded respectively in the year-earlier periods.  The Company reports net sales on the basis of two business categories, supply chain management services and electronic component sales(including sales of mobile phones to emerging markets, an activity commenced in the third quarter of 2009 which did not generate significant revenues in the quarter ).  In three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, net sales of supply chain management services increased 46% and 146% to $1.9 million and $5.9 million from $1.3 million and $2.4 million respectively in the year-earlier periods.  These increases were primarily based on the addition of several large mobile phone design house customers who were attracted to SinoHub by our online software system, SinoHub SCM.  In three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, net sales of electronic components increased 28% and 58% to $34.3 million and $79.7 million from $26.9 million and $50.6 million respectively in the year-earlier periods.  We believe that the main driving force behind these increases was the Company’s ability to obtain from its supplier customers better pricing for its manufacturer customers than they were able to achieve on their own, and new functionality in SinoHub SCM, such as bill of material management and bar code handling, that made it easier for manufacturer customers to operate their supply chains.


Gross Profit

The Company recorded gross profit of $6.4 million and $16.0 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $6.1 million and $9.9 million respectively in the year-earlier periods. The gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2008 was abnormally high because the Company recorded some unusually profitable electronic component sales business in the quarter.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.1 million and $3.3 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.  In the year-earlier periods, they were $954,000 and $2.0 million respectively.  These expenses were 3.0% and 3.8% of revenues in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 3.4% and 3.8% in the year-earlier periods.  Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2009 were reduced by $492,000 because of the reduction in the bad debt reserve.

Income from Operations

The Company recorded income from operations of $4.7 million and $11.4 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with income from operations of $5.0 million and $7.1 million respectively in the year-earlier periods.


Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was estimated at 24% and 23% in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 21% and 20% respectively in the year-earlier periods. The statutory tax rate in the PRC of 25% in 2009 and 2008 was reduced in both periods by favorable tax preferences experienced by the Company’s operations in special economic zones as designated by the Chinese government.  The trend toward a higher effective tax rate is expected to continue as preferences lapse over time.  The Chinese government recently lowered the corporate income tax rate from 33% to 25%.  In Shenzhen, where the Company does most of its business, the special economic zone status means the corporate income tax rate for 2008 was 18% and, barring further changes, it is 19% in 2009.  The stated intention of the Chinese government is to gradually increase the corporate tax rate in special economic zones such as in Shenzhen to the national level, which is 25% at present.  Income tax estimates in interim periods have varied as the Company has adjusted provisions and accruals in light of actual tax filings.


Foreign Currency Translation Gain and Comprehensive Net Income

The Company reported foreign currency translation gains of $31,000 and $63,000 in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with foreign currency translation gains of $216,000 and $680,000 respectively in the year-earlier periods.  The reason for the large difference between the gains in 2009 and those in 2008 was that the government of China chose to maintain a very stable exchange rate between Renminbi and US Dollars in the first nine months of 2009, unlike the same period in 2008.  Comprehensive net income (net income plus foreign currency translation gains) was $3.6 million and $8.8 million in three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with $4.1 million and $6.2 million respectively in the year-earlier periods.
 

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s strategic plans include continued expansion and support of our SCM Platform, our electronic component purchasing (ECP) platform.  As a result of the working capital investments necessary to support these plans, the Company will continue to require cash and financing resources to meet and exceed its objectives. The Company’s cost of capital decreased with the private financing we closed on August 6, 2009 for net proceeds of $1.2 million since this transaction was done on a direct basis with no investment banking costs.  Our cost of capital with China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Hongzhou Bank was approximately 4% at September 30, 2009.   Most of the working capital the Company intends to raise in the near to medium term is expected to come from Chinese banks, which, to date, have not been affected by the global credit crisis to the same extent as the US and European banks.

We believe that SinoHub’s ECP business (procurement-fulfillment and electronic component purchasing and sales) can be expanded with additional funds depending on how quickly we can build out new infrastructure and hire additional staff.  This is because the electronics business in China is very large relative to the size of the Company’s business.  Additional working capital would enable us to purchase more electronic components from our suppliers, which should lower our costs, and thus enhance our profitability.  Increased volume would also likely enable the Company to get favorable terms from suppliers which would lower our need for additional financing from third parties.  Moreover, the addition of warehouse space to support the Company’s growth will require capital investment.  Accordingly, if SinoHub is unsuccessful in raising additional working capital, the Company’s growth will be adversely affected.

We intend to raise these funds through the sale of additional equity or debt, long-term debt financings, and operating cash flows.  We may receive up to approximately $2,000,000 from the exercise of outstanding warrants in the fourth quarter of 2009 which must be exercised by November 25, 2009 or they will expire.  Due to the risk factors discussed in this document or in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission referenced herein there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds necessary to carry out management’s plans for the future on acceptable terms or at all.  Our ability to obtain additional capital will also depend on market conditions, national and global economies and other factors beyond our control.  We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement or capitalize on various financing alternatives.  The terms of any debt or equity funding that we may obtain in the future may be unfavorable to us and to our stockholders.

We do not believe that our recently commenced business of sourcing and selling mobile phones to emerging markets will require additional capital for expansion.

The Company advances money to procurement-fulfillment customers to purchase electronic components.  We only purchase standard components which are readily saleable.  When a manufacturer customer give us a procurement-fulfillment project, the customer inputs a bill of materials with their supplier and inputs price information into SinoHub SCM.  Our job is to purchase these electronic components, substituting our suppliers if we can get a better price and, when we have the entire bill of materials assembled, import the components into China and deliver the components to the customer’s factory floor.  Our typical procurement-fulfillment sale to a customer requires the customer to post a deposit of 15% to 20% of the cost of the components and we generally provide 60-day payment terms.  The terms begins when the project is approved, but SinoHub does not actually pay for the components until we receive them and in some cases we receive terms from the suppliers, with our cost of borrowing of approximately 0.33% per month in nine months ended September 30, 2009.  While there can be no assurance that we will not experience a problem in the future, to date we have not had any collection problems with any procurement-fulfillment project funded.
 
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities during nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $3.2 million, which primarily included earnings from operations that were more than offset by investments in accounts receivable and inventory to support the Company’s business growth.  For nine months ended September 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $5.6 million, which primarily included earnings from operations that were more than offset by investments in accounts receivable and reducing the accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash used in investing activities during nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4.2 million primarily the result of restricted cash buildup.  For nine months ended September 30, 2008, investing activities generated $5.1 million primarily the result of releasing restricted cash.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $8.3 million primarily the result of bank borrowings.  For nine months ended September 30, 2008, the net amount of cash generated by financing activities was $4.0 million primarily the result of a private placement stock offering that was offset by repayment of the bank borrowings.




OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors. 



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Organization, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 herein for a discussion of critical accounting policies.



Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information requested by this item, as provided by Regulation S-K Item 305(e). 
 

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure.  Although the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were designed by management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, to provide reasonable assurance of achieving these objectives, it should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based upon the Company’s evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, 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 or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information requested by this item.



Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
In July 2009 we issued 12,000 shares of our common stock to each of CEOCast, Inc. and PondelWilkinson, Inc. for services rendered.  Each of the issuances was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In connection with the sale of these securities, the Company relied on each of CEOCast’s and PondelWilkinson’s written representations that it was an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  As the shares were issued for services we received no cash proceeds for the issuance of the shares.
 
 
On August 6, 2009 we entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors named therein (the “Investors”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) for an aggregate of (i) 342,862 shares of common stock, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,200,000.  The common stock was offered and sold solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D.  In connection with the sale of these securities, the Company relied on each of the Investors' written representations that it was an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising..  We used the proceeds of the sale for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On August 28, 2009, a stockholder exercised his warrant to purchase 44,117 shares of common stock for $94,852.  We initially issued the warrant to the stockholder on September 10, 2008 as part of a private placement of common stock and warrants made in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D. The warrant was exercisable at $2.15 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The exercise of the warrant was made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and no commission was paid in connection with the issuance of the shares.  We used the proceeds of the warrant exercise for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
