NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(UNAUDITED)


AS OF JUNE 30, 2010








1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION




Overview




SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) is an electronics company focused on mobile devices that has prospered by leveraging the information and relationships derived from its original electronic component supply chain management business. The Company built a Web-based platform to make the entire supply chain transparent for its customer participants and attached a database to store information on all imported electronic components (currently, 50,000+). Today, the majority of SinoHub’s revenue comes from leveraging this data to sell electronic components, but the Company’s new virtual contract manufacturing division, which produces and sells mobile phones in developing countries and which also benefits from this data, is growing very rapidly.  SinoHub’s three divisions work together with tight information integration to facilitate the Company’s overall mobile device business.





SinoHub 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”) and we are engaged in the production and sale of mobile devices (currently mobile phones) overseas. In Q2 2010 approximately 66% of the Company’s revenues were 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 one-off electronic component sales (roughly 80%) or as procurement-fulfillment projects (about 20%). The Company began offering mobile phones for sale in developing countries in Southeast Asia through its newly formed virtual contract manufacturing division in late 2009, but did not have material revenue from this source in 2009.  Roughly 30% of SinoHub’s revenue in Q2 2010 was derived from selling mobile phones overseas and from PCBA production through its virtual contract manufacturing division. In connection with the supply of such components and products, the Company also provides supply chain management services from which we derived approximately 4% of our revenues in Q2 2010.





The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information 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 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31. 2010.





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.

 Table of Contents





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, Inc., 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. 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 outstanding whereupon outstanding common stock 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.

Principles of Consolidation




The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.




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 the majority 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.

 Table of Contents





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 lien against 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.




As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $538,000 and $347,000 respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, write off of allowance for doubtful accounts of $191,000 and 186,000, respectively was recorded.




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 and impairment.  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 YearsMotor vehicles

5 YearsFurniture, fixtures and equipment

2 to 5 YearsLeasehold improvements

Over the unexpired lease terms







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.  The Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at June 30, 2010.

Financial Instruments




The Company analyzes all financial instruments that may have features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480-10 and 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 ASC Topic 825.  At present, there are no registration rights as to which late filing penalties may apply.




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.





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.





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. 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, 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 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 ASC Topic 718 and 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 and Cost Recognition




The Company reports revenue from supply chain management, or SCM, services and electronic components sales, and VCM businesses.  Revenues for supply chain management services are earned from both the SCM 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 and VCM businesses are based on quoted prices and are recognized at the time of shipment to customers.  Revenues are recognized on the gross amount billed 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.




Cost of goods sold in VCM business includes the direct raw material cost, direct labor cost, manufacturing overheads including depreciation of production equipment, rent and local transportation charges consistent with the revenue earned.




Income Taxes




The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740. Under 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.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income taxes in the period that included the enactment date.

 Table of Contents





The Company uses USD as its reporting currency.  The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to ASC Topic 830.  The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are HKD and RMB.  Under 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 to the reporting currency 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 in accordance with the provisions of 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




In March 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-11 Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives (“ASU 2010-11”). ASU 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption—one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another.  As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2010, FASB issued ASU 2010-13 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.  ASU 2010-13 addresses the classification of a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. Topic 718 is amended to clarify that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity classification. The amendments in this Update should be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.  The guidance should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for all outstanding awards as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied.  Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2010-13 on our financial statements.

6.           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 were 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) 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.

7.           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 June 30, 2010, stock options to purchase 1,273,636 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $0.10 to $4.36 per share were outstanding.  Prior to becoming publicly traded, the exercise prices were determined by the Board at the time of grant.  In each such 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 under the 2008 ISOP represent the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day 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 shares of preferred stock which were convertible on the basis of one share of preferred stock for one share of common stock issued were exchanged for common stock 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

2.50%
$0.47 - $2.79







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 historical period of the expected life of the options.




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 interest rates at the time of the grant whose term is consistent with expected life of the stock options.




Expected Life:  Because the Company has no historical share option exercise experience to estimate future exercise patterns, the expected life was determined using the simplified method as these awards meet the definition of "plain-vanilla" options under the rules prescribed by ASC Topic 718.




18
 Table of Contents





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. ASC Topic 718 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 335,000 shares stock options in the second quarter of 2010 at an exercise price ranging from $2.84 to $3.00 per share.

8.           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS





In 2010 and 2009, a PRC property owned by a director and his spouse is pledged to a bank to secure banking facilities for the Company.




In 2010 and 2009, a director and his spouse have provided guarantees to a bank for banking facilities in the amount of $4,400,000 extended to the Company.




In 2010, an executive officer has provided unlimited personal guaranty to three banks for banking facilities for the Company.





9.           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.  Management believes the realization of tax benefits from these operating loss carry forwards 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 16.5%.  No provision for Hong Kong profits tax was required as these entities incurred losses during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.  There are no tax loss carry forward provisions in Hong Kong.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED


JUNE 30, 2010 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2009





Overall Results





The Company reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $2.9 million compared to $3.2 million in the year-earlier period, a decrease of 9%.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the company reported net income of $6.4 million, a 23% increase over the $5.2 million reported in the same period in 2009.





Net Sales





Net sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $43.9 million and $82.5 million respectively, up 40% and 67% from $31.4 million and $49.5 million recorded respectively in the year-earlier periods.  The Company reports net sales on the basis of three business categories, supply chain management services (SCM), electronic component purchasing (ECP), and virtual contract manufacturing (VCM).  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales of supply chain management services decreased 22% and 18% to $1.8 million and $3.3 million from $2.3 million and $4.0 million respectively in the year-earlier periods reflecting a shift to higher volume design house and manufacturer customers where service charges are a lower percentage of processing volume. In three months ended June 30, 2010, net sales of electronic components decreased 1% to $28.8 million from $29.1 million in the year-earlier period as a result of some overstocking in the first quarter of 2010.  In the six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales of electronic components increased 31% to $59.4 million from $45.4 million in the year-earlier periods.  In the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, net sales of VCM business were $13.3 million and $19.7 million, respectively.  In the year-earlier periods, the Company did not conduct VCM business.





Gross Profit





The Company recorded gross profit of $7.6 million and $14.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $5.7 million and $9.5 million respectively in the year-earlier periods.  The gross profit margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to 17.3% and 17.8% from 18.2% and 19.3% respectively in the year-earlier period.  The reason for the decline in overall gross margin was the substantially lower percentage of high margin net sales from the SCM business in 2010 versus 2009 as a percentage of our total net sales.





Selling, General and Administrative Expenses





Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 100% and 105% to $2.2 million and $4.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.1 million and $2.0 million in the year-earlier periods.  The increase is mainly due to the expenditures associated with our new factory.





Income from Operations





The Company recorded income from operations of $4.4 million and $8.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared with income from operations of $4.1 million and $6.7 million in the year-earlier periods, an increase of 7% and 33%, respectively.





Income Taxes





The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.4 million and $2.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $0.9 million and $1.5 million in the year-earlier period, respectively.  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 recorded foreign currency translation gains of $81,000 and $109,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared with $2,000 and $$33,000 in the year-earlier period, respectively.  Comprehensive net income (net income plus foreign currency translation gains) was $3.0 million and $6.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $3.2 million and $5.2 million in the year-earlier period.











CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY





Liquidity and Capital Resources





The Company’s strategic plans include continued expansion and support of our SCM Platform (consisting of SinoHub SCM, key service centers in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, and a supply chain management service team providing real time support), growth in our electronic component and mobile device sales businesses, including growth of our VCM business, investment in inventory for both procurement-fulfillment and VCM orders, and investment in the manufacturing facility for our VCM business.  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.  Our cost of capital with China Construction Bank, Industrial Bank, Jiangsu Bank and Ningbo Bank was approximately 3.13% at June 30, 2010.  Chinese banks to date have not been affected by the global credit crisis nearly as much as the US and European banks although the credit available through banks in China could be affected by Chinese monetary policies.




We believe SinoHub’s new virtual contract manufacturing business can grow rapidly with the addition of our moderately sized manufacturing facility and with additional inventory.  Additional working capital would enable us to purchase more electronic components from our suppliers, which should lower our costs, and thus enhance our profitability.  We believe increased volume would also likely enable the Company to receive payment terms from suppliers (we are currently mainly buying from suppliers on a C.O.D. basis) which would lessen our need for additional financing from third parties.  Accordingly, if SinoHub is unsuccessful in raising additional working capital, the Company’s growth may be adversely affected.




We intend to raise additional funds in 2010 through the sale of debt, long-term debt financings, and operating cash flows.  Due to the risk factors referred to elsewhere in this report and described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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 funding that we may obtain in the future may be unfavorable to us and to our stockholders.




At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities was $2.1 million, the net amount of cash used in investing activities was $7.6 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $10.7 million.




The Company must generally pay the purchase price of electronic components for electronic component procurement (ECP) customers and then recoup the purchase price from the customer after delivery.  We only purchase standard components which are readily saleable.  To date we have not had any collection problems with any ECP project funded.  The Company’s borrowings vary based on the timing of ECP projects, which is made up of spot component sales and procurement-fulfillment, use of our VAT import line and use of our export reimbursement line.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities





The net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.0 million, which primarily included earnings from operations and decrease in inventory that were more than offset by increase in accounts receivable and deposit with suppliers.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities was $1.9 million, which primarily included earnings from operations and increase in accounts payable that were more than offset by increase in accounts receivable and inventories to support the Company’s business growth.





Cash Flows from Investing Activities





The net amount of cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.6 million, compared with $3.8 million in the year-earlier period.  Both were the results of restricted cash buildup and investments in property and equipment.





Cash Flows from Financing Activities





The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $10.7 million which was mainly the result of the bank borrowings and a private placement stock offering.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the net amount of cash generated by financing activities was $4.9 million, which was the result 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.

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 such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





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) and 15d-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.

Each of the warrants become exercisable on January 31, 2011 at a price of $3.25 per share and expire on January 31, 2013.  If Hayden Communications is engaged by the Company as a consultant on January 31, 2011, the warrants will be fully exercisable.

The Company has the right to compel the holders of the warrants to exercise the warrants within 10 trading days after sending written notice to the holders of the warrants.  Any warrants not exercised within the 10-trading day period would be cancelled.
