PROSPECTUS


SINOHUB, INC.
 7,405,883 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus of up to 7,405,883 shares of common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants. All of the shares, when sold, will be sold by these selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may sell these shares from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in individually negotiated transactions, through agents designated from time to time or through underwriters or dealers. We will not control or determine the price at which the selling stockholders decide to sell their shares. The selling stockholders may be deemed underwriters of the shares of common stock, which they are offering. We will pay the expenses of registering these shares.

We are not selling any shares of common stock in this offering and therefore will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock hereunder. We will receive proceeds from any exercise of outstanding warrants by the selling stockholders if and when those warrants are exercised for cash. The warrants may also be exercised by surrender of the warrants in exchange for an equal value of shares in accordance with the terms of the warrants.

Our common stock is quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, under the symbol “SIHI.”  The last reported sale price per share of our common stock as reported by the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board on March 16, 2009, was $2.40.

No underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. None of the proceeds from the sale of stock by the selling stockholders will be placed in escrow, trust or any similar account.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms “SinoHub,” “SIHI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to SinoHub, Inc. and  its subsidiaries, namely SinoHub International, Inc., SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd.,  SinoHub Electronics Shanghai, Ltd., SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd., B2B Chips, Limited, SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) Limited and SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd.  Note that we refer to SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. herein as a “subsidiary” of SinoHub, Inc, because we hold a 100% beneficial interest in it pursuant to a declaration of trust.  As used throughout this prospectus, the term “SinoHub International” refers to our subsidiary SinoHub International, Inc.

Historical share amounts set out in this prospectus have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a 1-for-3.5 reverse stock split effected on July 18, 2008, and, with respect to the historical share amounts relating to stock initially issued by SinoHub International, the effects of the reverse merger pursuant to which SinoHub International became a subsidiary of the Company and in which the shareholders of SinoHub International received 3.718425 shares of SinoHub common stock for each outstanding share of SinoHub International common stock.  Unless otherwise stated herein, all currency amounts have been expressed in United States dollars.


OUR COMPANY
 
SinoHub, Inc. (formerly known as Liberty Alliance, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in Utah in 1986, and subsequently merged and reorganized as Liberty Alliance, Inc. in Delaware in 1991.   We have one direct subsidiary, SinoHub International, Inc. (formerly SinoHub, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, and a number of indirect subsidiaries based in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) and Hong Kong.

The Company’s mailing address and executive offices are located at 6/F, Building 51, Road 5, Qiongyu Blvd., Technology Park, Nanshan District, Shenzhen 518057, People’s Republic of China. The Company’s telephone number, including the International Code and Area Code is +86-755-2661-2106 and its corporate website is www.sinohub.com.
 
SinoHub is engaged in electronic component sales and electronic component supply chain management (SCM) services. Our electronic component sales include procurement-fulfillment and individually negotiated electronic component sales to manufacturers. We deal only in original parts in original packing and do not alter or modify the parts in any way.  Accordingly, any quality issues with respect to the parts would be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the parts, and we provide no warranties with respect to the components we sell.  Our SCM services include warehousing, logistics and import/export. At present all of our component sales and SCM services occur in the PRC and Hong Kong.

Procurement-fulfillment starts when our manufacturer customer enters their bill of materials including a default supplier and price for each electronic component into our proprietary, SCM online software system named “SinoHub SCM” for a project (for example, to obtain the necessary components for the production of 50,000 mobile phones). SinoHub then tries to find better pricing on each component than the target price set by the customer enabling the Company to make a margin on the purchasing of the components. Then the electronic components are ordered and received in SinoHub’s Hong Kong warehouse. When the bill of materials is complete, the customer can order just-in-time shipping of the components to their factory floor.

Electronic component sales are driven by SinoHub’s in-house sales representatives who find arbitrage opportunities by looking at the pricing in our database of all of the electronic components we have ever imported.   The database contains the price at which the part was imported, the quantities imported and descriptive information regarding the characteristics of the components and is updated in real time.

The Company provides SCM services to electronics manufacturers and component suppliers in the PRC.  Our professional Supply Chain Management platform integrates our SinoHub SCM system, logistics service centers located in key distribution/manufacturing cities in the PRC, and a service team of over 100 employees.

As a seller of electronic components and an electronic component supply chain management service provider, we manage all aspects of the purchase and movement of electronic components from their receipt from suppliers in our Hong Kong warehouse to their import into China and delivery to a manufacturer. We also handle the export of the finished goods when that is required. Roughly seventy percent (70%) of our business with manufacturer customers is related to mobile phones. The components we source in this vertical market change rapidly in line with the rapid change of technology in this industry. This helps our business as more opportunities for price discrepancies occur than in vertical markets, such as refrigerator manufacture, where the same components are used year in and year out.
 
1


Each mobile phone built by one of our customers contains between 100 and 200 electronic components that have an aggregate resale value of between $15 and $30. At present, our business mix is weighted toward the lower end of the scale (the high end is “smart” phones) with the average purchase price of the electronic components that go into a phone one of our customers would make being around $20. We have customers who make hundreds of thousands of phones per month. In the past, we have only been able to handle part of their business because of liquidity constraints (our procurement-fulfillment business requires us to have available capital to purchase components for inventory prior to reselling them to customers). However, we are currently seeking to increase our business with several customers who want to give us the opportunity to supply them with components for a larger share of their business.

In the last three years, mobile phone components have accounted for approximately 70% of our business and network equipment components have accounted for approximately 15% of our business. We expect these percentages to grow slightly in 2009 as we focus on these two vertical markets. We believe that approximately 90% of our manufacturer customers in these areas sell their products into the local Chinese market. As a result, we have yet to feel much adverse effect from the global slowdown because demand has remained strong for these products in China. Because sales of mobile phones in the PRC typically spike around Chinese New Year which occurs in either January or February, the fourth calendar quarter is usually our biggest volume quarter. Normally, the first quarter is our weakest quarter because of this long holiday, with the second and third quarters showing consecutive increases. A typical pattern of revenue for our Company would be 15%, 20%, 25% and 40% for the first through fourth quarters, respectively.  2008 proved to be an exception as the third quarter was a robust quarter because of some delayed business coming over from the prior quarter and unusually strong demand.

The only inventory SinoHub carries is electronic components that we are staging for procurement-fulfillment projects. We do not buy components without a corresponding customer order to purchase the components. In 2008, SinoHub had three customers, all in the mobile phone business, who accounted for 12%, 10% and 7% of our revenue respectively. We expect this concentration to go down as our business expands. We do not have backlog orders, but with the successful completion of each procurement-fulfillment project and component sale, we look for repeat orders from existing customers.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of our Company, before deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our Company. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.


Risks Related To Our Business

The industry in which we have chosen to concentrate our sales efforts is fast moving and our customers may not be successful in growing in pace with the industry.

We have chosen to concentrate our sales efforts in the fast moving mobile phone business, where the life cycles of new products can be relatively short, and our available capital limits the number of new customers we can handle at any given time. We face the risk of our customers’ growth not keeping pace with this dynamic market, whether as a result of manufacturing products for which there is lesser demand, lack of capitalization or otherwise.  In addition, given our limited resources to evaluate new customers, if we ultimately select new customers who are less successful, it will provide a smaller return on our efforts than if we select more successful customers.  Despite our requirement of non-cancelable purchase orders from our customers and our efforts to investigate the credit histories of our customers, there is no guarantee that all our customers will be able to pay for all of the goods they order.

Our management and a significant shareholder collectively own a majority of our common stock.
 
Collectively, our officers, directors and a single significant shareholder own approximately 51% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, investors may be prevented from affecting matters involving the company, including:
 
• the composition of our board of directors and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers;
 
• any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;
 
• our acquisition or disposition of assets; and
 
• our corporate financing activities.
 
Furthermore, concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other business combination that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders. This significant concentration of share ownership may also adversely affect the trading price for our common stock because investors may perceive disadvantages in owning stock in a company that is controlled by a small number of stockholders.
 
Changes in governmental regulations affecting the export of electronics from China may hurt our business.

While we believe that our manufacturer customers sell approximately 90% of their products in the Chinese market, to the limited extent the Company’s manufacturer customers sell overseas, factors which adversely affect export of electronic products from China may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects, including regulatory restrictions, trade disputes, industry-specific quotas, tariffs, non-tariff barriers and taxes that may result in limiting exports from China.
 
Our business is sensitive to general economic conditions.

Our business may be negatively affected by rising labor and material costs in China and, to the limited extent the Company’s manufacturer customers sell overseas, by a downturn in general economic conditions in major importing countries and regions.

Negative perception or publicity of Chinese products may hurt our business.

Any negative perception or publicity of Chinese electronic products may cause a decline in demand for Chinese electronic products and in turn negatively affect our sales and revenue.

SinoHub envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on its administrative and operational resources which if not effectively managed, could impair its growth.

SinoHub’s strategy envisions a period of rapid growth that may impose a significant burden on its administrative and operational resources. The growth of SinoHub’s business will require significant investments of capital and management’s close attention. SinoHub’s ability to effectively manage its growth will require it to substantially expand the capabilities of its administrative and operational resources and to attract, train, manage and retain qualified management, technicians and other personnel.  SinoHub may be unable to do so. If SinoHub is unable to successfully manage its growth, SinoHub may be unable to achieve its goals.

SinoHub may not be able to raise the additional capital necessary to execute its business strategy, which could result in the curtailment of SinoHub’s operations.
  
On September 10, 2008, the Company sold 4,406,533 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,203,256 shares of common stock to certain accredited investors in a private offering, which resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $7,491,110.  Nevertheless, SinoHub will need to raise substantial additional funds to fully fund its existing operations and for development, component purchases and expansion of its business.  An increasingly large proportion of the Company’s business (currently approximately 43%) is procurement-fulfillment which requires the Company to have available capital to purchase components for inventory prior to reselling them to customers.  A lack of sufficient capital beyond cash on hand and funds available under the Company’s credit facilities significantly impairs the Company’s ability to take on new customers and the size of the orders the Company can take from existing customers.  SinoHub has no current arrangements with respect to sources of additional financing and the needed additional financing may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. The inability to obtain additional financing, when needed, would have a negative effect on SinoHub, including possibly requiring it to curtail operations. If any future financing involves the sale of the equity securities of SinoHub, the shares of common stock held by its stockholders could be substantially diluted. If SinoHub borrows money or issues debt securities, it will be subject to the risks associated with indebtedness, including the risk that interest rates may fluctuate and the possibility that it may not be able to pay principal and interest on the indebtedness when due.

Insufficient funds will prevent SinoHub from implementing its business plan and will require it to delay, scale back, or eliminate certain of its growth plans.

The competitive pressures the Company faces could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s business.

The market for the Company’s products and services is very competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Not only does the Company compete with in-house service teams and other third-party logistics providers, it also competes for customers with distributors and with many of its own suppliers.  The Company’s failure to maintain and enhance its competitive position could adversely affect its business and prospects. Furthermore, the Company’s efforts to compete in the marketplace could cause deterioration of gross profit margins and, thus, overall profitability. The sizes of the Company’s competitors vary across market sectors, as do the resources the Company has allocated to the sectors in which it does business. Therefore, some of the competitors may have a more extensive customer base than the Company has in all or some of its market sectors or greater resources and funding to capture clients in such sectors.

SinoHub will be required to hire and retain skilled technical and managerial personnel.

SinoHub’s continued success depends in large part on its ability to attract, train, motivate and retain qualified management and highly-skilled employees, particularly managerial, technical, sales, and marketing personnel, technicians, and other critical personnel. Any failure to attract and retain the required highly-trained managerial and technical personnel who are integral to production and development and technical support teams may have a negative impact on the operation of SinoHub’s plants, which would have a negative impact on revenues. There can be no assurance that SinoHub will be able to attract and retain skilled persons and the loss of skilled technical personnel would adversely affect it.

SinoHub is dependent upon its officers for management and direction and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect its operations and results.

SinoHub is dependent upon its officers for implementation of its proposed expansion strategy and execution of its business plan. The loss of any of its officers could have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations and financial position. SinoHub does not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of its officers. The loss of any of its officers could delay or prevent the achievement of its business objectives.

We may incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements.
 
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on a timely basis may strain SinoHub’s limited financial and management resources, negatively affect its operating results, and cause SinoHub to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

The SEC, as directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, adopted rules generally requiring each public company to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K that contains an assessment by management of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, commencing with our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 (unless such date is extended by the SEC) our independent registered accounting firm must attest to and report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

SinoHub is developing and is implementing a Section 404 plan.  Before its reverse merger, the Company was a shell and had virtually no financial staff and its controls over financial reporting were ineffective. Before, during and after the reverse merger, SinoHub staff have been using controls with respect to the core business.  SinoHub’s auditors have conferred with the Company and discussed their requirements.  The officers of SinoHub are aware of the requirement for internal controls and believe that the internal controls SinoHub has in place are effective.  SinoHub will continue to endeavor to improve its control environment as it adds staff and grows the company, and SinoHub believes that it will be able to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on a timely basis.

However, SinoHub may need to hire and/or engage additional personnel and incur incremental costs in order to complete and manage the work required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. SinoHub may not be able to completely implement its Section 404 plan on a timely basis. Additionally, upon completion of the implementation of its Section 404 plan, SinoHub may not be able to conclude that its internal controls are effective, or in the event that it concludes that its internal controls are effective, SinoHub’s independent accountants may disagree with its assessment and may issue a report that is qualified. The financial and management resources required to implement and comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any failure to implement required new or improved controls or difficulties encountered in their management and implementation, could negatively affect SinoHub’s operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

Risks Related to Conducting Business in the People’s Republic of China

SinoHub’s Chinese operations subject it to certain risks inherent in conducting business operations in China, including political instability and foreign government regulation, which could significantly impact its ability to operate in such countries and impact its results of operations.

SinoHub conducts substantially all of its business in China.  SinoHub’s Chinese operations are, and will be, subject to risks generally associated with conducting businesses in foreign countries, such as:

 
·
changes in applicable laws and regulations– for example, Customs regulations in China are quite complicated and are subject to change;
 
·
challenges to, or failure of, title – should the Company purchase facilities, it is more difficult in China to perfect clear title than it is in the United States and this represents a potential risk;
 
·
changes in foreign economic and political conditions – to the limited extent that the Company’s manufacturer customers sell overseas, economic downturns and political instability outside of China is bad for our business. Also, since China is an export driven economy, economic downturns overseas are bad for China generally and this will have some affect on our manufacturer customers which make products for the local Chinese market;
 
·
export and import restrictions – as noted above, Customs regulations change frequently and such changes could have negative affects on our business;
 
6

 
 
·
tariffs, Customs, duties and other trade barriers– VAT and Customs Duty make electronic components more expensive in China (85% are imported), which makes products such as mobile phones, components of which are core to the Company’s business, more expensive in China;
 
·
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations– the number of qualified managers in China is much less than the need, therefore it is hard for the Company to hire highly qualified managers; and
 
·
difficulties in enforcing agreements - China’s legal system is not as fully developed as the legal system in the United States, which means there is more risk that the Company could have difficulty enforcing  agreements.
 
To the extent that the Chinese government may in the future to require local ownership of companies to perform certain activities, the Company’s ownership structure may not permit it to accomplish all of its business objectives in China. Foreign governments also may impose additional taxes and/or royalties on our business, which would adversely affect SinoHub’s profitability. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a foreign government and SinoHub or other governments may adversely affect its operations. These developments may, at times, significantly affect SinoHub’s results of operations, and must be carefully considered by its management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.
 
SinoHub holds a beneficial ownership interest in SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. through a trust to fully comply with PRC rules and regulations. However, such arrangements may be adjudicated by relevant PRC government agencies as not being in compliance with PRC governmental regulations on foreign investment in Chinese companies and such structures may limit our control with respect to such entities.
 
Over 70% of the electronic components that we sell are imported into China by SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. (“SinoHub SCM SZ”), a PRC corporation organized by our wholly-owned subsidiary SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd., also a PRC corporation (“SinoHub Electronics SZ”).  In September 2008, SinoHub SCM SZ attained Client Coordinator Enterprise Coordinator status with the Customs authorities at the Huanggang border crossing with Hong Kong.  As a Client Coordinator Enterprise, SinoHub SCM SZ is able to achieve expedited Customs clearance of its goods that it is importing into China and may defer the payment of Value Added Tax and Customs Duty for two weeks.

The success of our current import operations in China is based in part upon this status.   If SinoHub SCM SZ were to lose its status as a Client Coordinator Enterprise for any reason, such loss of status may result in disruption of our business, diversion of management attention and the incurrence of substantial costs, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  A change in Chinese law, such as the elimination of Value Added Tax, that impacted the benefits of our Client Coordinator Enterprise status by removing our competitive advantage of passing on to our customers the deferral in the payment of the tax we receive from such status, could have a similar material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
In order to take advantage of favorable treatment available to enterprises whose registered owners are PRC citizens under certain PRC import/export regulations, on January 30, 2008 SinoHub Electronics SZ entered into a declaration of trust with Ms. Hantao Cui, a citizen of the PRC and the spouse of our President Lei Xia, as trustee (the “Trustee”), which provided for the registration of all of the ownership interests of SinoHub SCM SZ in the name of the Trustee and the retention of all of the beneficial ownership interests in SinoHub SCM SZ by SinoHub Electronics SZ.  SinoHub Electronics SZ, as sole beneficial owner of SinoHub SCM SZ, retained all rights, title and interests in SinoHub SCM SZ, and the Trustee may only exercise those rights with respect to SinoHub SCM SZ that are expressly conveyed to the Trustee in the declaration of trust.  The declaration of trust did not convey to the Trustee any authority to encumber the ownership interests in SinoHub SCM SZ.  In general, the Trustee may not undertake any actions under the declaration of trust with respect to SinoHub SCM SZ unless it first receives instructions from SinoHub Electronics SZ, and the Trustee has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote its interests in SinoHub SCM SZ as directed by SinoHub Electronics SZ, and (ii) deliver all payments, distributions and other economic benefits received with respect to its interest in SinoHub SCM SZ to SinoHub Electronics SZ.

We believe that our operations in China through and by SinoHub Electronics SZ and SinoHub SCM SZ are valid under current PRC laws and regulations.  However, many PRC import/export laws and regulations are relatively new and as the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many PRC laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties. We cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, the preemption of local regulations by national laws, or the overruling of local government’s decisions by the superior, national government.  If we are required to restructure our operations to comply with new PRC laws or regulations, there can be no assurance that SinoHub SCM SZ would be able to preserve its status as a Client Coordinator Enterprise.  Although the declaration of trust agreement between SinoHub Electronics SZ and the Trustee allows SinoHub Electronics SZ to purchase SinoHub SCM SZ at any time, there can be no assurance that such acquisition also would not result in the loss of SinoHub SCM SZ’s Enterprise Coordinator status.

China’s economic policies could affect our business.

Substantially all of our assets are located in China and substantially all of our revenue is derived from our operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.

While China’s economy has experienced a significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been irregular, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of China, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by the government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations.
 
The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. In recent years the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform and the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises; however, a substantial portion of productive assets in China are still owned by the Chinese government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.
 
The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Chinese Renminbi (RMB) and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated, because substantially all of our earnings and cash assets are denominated in RMB.  In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Although we have no current intention to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, fluctuations in the exchange rate would also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.
 
Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions. While we may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

Currently, all of the components we sell to our Chinese customers are imported.  In the event that the U.S. dollar appreciates against RMB, our costs will increase.  If we cannot pass the resulting cost increases on to our customers, our profitability and operating results will be adversely affected.  

We may be restricted from exchanging RMB to other currencies in a timely manner.
 
At the present time the RMB is not an exchangeable currency. The Company receives nearly all of its revenue in RMB, which may need to be exchanged to other currencies, primarily U.S. dollars, and remitted outside of the PRC. Effective from July 1, 1996, foreign currency “current account” transactions by foreign investment enterprises, including Sino-foreign joint ventures, are no longer subject to the approval of State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, but need only a ministerial review, according to the foreign exchange regulations. Current account items include international commercial transactions, which occur on a regular basis, such as those relating to trade and provision of services. Distributions to joint venture parties also are considered a current account transaction. Other non-current account items, known as capital account items, remain subject to SAFE approval. Under current regulations, the Company can obtain foreign currency in exchange for RMB from swap centers authorized by the government. The Company does not anticipate problems in obtaining foreign currency to satisfy its requirements; however, there is no assurance that foreign currency shortages or changes in currency exchange laws and regulations by the PRC government will not restrict the Company from exchanging RMB in a timely manner. If such shortages or changes in laws and regulations occur, the Company may accept RMB, which can be held or reinvested in other projects.

Our subsidiaries and affiliated Chinese entities in China are subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.
 
SinoHub’s operating subsidiaries in China generate substantially all of the company’s consolidated revenues.  To repatriate the cash generated to the US-based parent, these subsidiaries would need to declare a dividend or make some other type of payment to the US-based parent.  Current PRC regulations permit our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our subsidiaries in China are required to set aside at least 10% of our annual after-tax profits determined in accordance with PRC GAAP in a statutory general reserve fund until the amount in such fund reaches 50% of our registered capital. Allocations to these statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Further, if our subsidiaries and affiliated Chinese entities in China incur debt on their own behalf, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Any limitations on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to transfer funds to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

We may face obstacles from the communist system in The People's Republic of China.

Foreign companies conducting operations in The People’s Republic of China face significant political, economic and legal risks. The Communist regime in The People's Republic of China may hinder Western investment.

We may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in the People's Republic of China.

The People's Republic of China historically has been deficient in Western style management and financial reporting concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control systems. We may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified employees to work in the People's Republic of China. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet Western standards.

Because our assets and operations are located in China, you may have difficulty enforcing any civil liabilities against us under the securities and other laws of the United States or any state.

We are a holding company, and all of our assets are located in the People’s Republic of China. In addition, some of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these non-residents, or to enforce against them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

There is uncertainty as to whether courts of the People’s Republic of China would enforce:

 
·
Judgments of United States courts obtained against us or these non-residents based on the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state; or
 
 
·
In original actions brought in the Republic of China, liabilities against us or non-residents predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. Enforcement of a foreign judgment in the Republic of China also may be limited or otherwise affected by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, arrangement, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and will be subject to a statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit law enforcement availability.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, decided legal cases have little precedence. In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation since 1979 has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Each of our PRC operating subsidiaries and affiliates is subject to PRC laws and regulations. However, these laws and regulations change frequently and the interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For instance, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we are entitled to by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting statutory and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative court proceedings and the level of law enforcement that we would receive in more developed legal systems. Such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, particularly with regard to the industries in which we operate, including the promulgation of new laws. This may include changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the availability of law enforcement, including our ability to enforce our agreements with the government entities and other foreign investors.

Risks Related to Ownership of SinoHub Common Stock

There can be no assurance that a liquid public market for our common stock will exist in the future.

Although our common stock is eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, very few shares trade on a regular basis and there may not be a significant market in our common stock in the future. The OTC Bulletin Board is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ system.  The quotation of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. There can be no assurance that a regular and established market will be developed and maintained for our common stock. There can also be no assurance as to the strength or liquidity of any market for our common stock or the prices at which holders may be able to sell their shares.

It is likely that there will be significant volatility in the trading price.

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies has experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies.  For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control.  If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional equity financing to continue our growth and our success in raising additional equity capital could be affected by such volatility.  Market prices for our common stock will be influenced by many factors and can be expected to be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our operating results and other factors. Our stock price will also be affected by the trading price of the stock of our competitors, investor perceptions of SinoHub, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to our industry, developments with regard to SinoHub’s operations and activities, our future financial condition, and changes in our management.

Our shares of common stock are currently subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The trading price of the common stock has remained been below $5.00. Since our common stock trades below $5.00 per share, trading in the common stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), related to any trades involving a “penny stock” (defined generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions).  These rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock” and a two business day “cooling off period” before brokers and dealers can effect transactions in penny stocks. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. These, and the other burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the penny stock requirements, could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of holders of our common stock to sell it.

We do not intend to pay dividends.

We have not paid any cash dividends on any of our securities since inception and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on any of our securities in the foreseeable future.

Future sales of our securities, or the perception in the markets that these sales may occur, could depress our stock price.

As of December 31, 2008, we had issued and outstanding approximately (i) 24,501,989 shares of common stock, warrants for 2,511,712 shares of common stock and options exercisable for 660,175 shares of common stock.  These securities will be eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if the stockholder qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, or other applicable exemption. In addition, an aggregate of 398,093 shares of SinoHub subject to Lock-Up Agreements entered into among such holders and SinoHub in connection with the Merger have lock-up restrictions that will expire on May 14, 2009 (provided that the restrictions do not apply to resale of the covered shares pursuant to this prospectus, and all of such shares are being registered for resale under this prospectus).   An additional 2,100 shares of SinoHub subject to Lock-Up Agreements entered into among the holders of such shares and SinoHub in connection with the issuance of an aggregate of 1,900 shares of common stock to such holders to enable them to own a round lot of shares of SinoHub have lock-up restrictions that will expire on July 18, 2009, and a further 6,078,827 shares owned by our President and by our CEO subject to Lock-Up Agreements between the President and CEO and the placement agent for our September 2008 private placement have lock-up restrictions that will expire on ____________ [the first anniversary of the date of this prospectus].  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 were entitled to piggy back and demand registration rights with respect to the shares of SinoHub International common stock into which such preferred stock was convertible pursuant to the terms of certain Stock Purchase Agreements entered into among SinoHub International and such holders.   While we do not believe that these rights extend to the shares of SinoHub common stock received by such holders in the Merger, it is possible that such holders may take a different view, and there can be no guarantee that, if they choose to litigate the matter, a court would find in our favor.  An aggregate of 5,202,627 shares of outstanding common stock and 2,203,256 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants are being registered for resale in this prospectus.  The market price of our capital stock could drop significantly if the holders of the shares being registered hereunder sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. Moreover, to the extend that additional shares of our outstanding These factors also could make it more difficult for us to raise capital or make acquisitions through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities.
 
The ability of the Board of Directors of SinoHub to issue “blank check” preferred stock and any anti-takeover provisions we adopt may depress the value of our Common Stock.

The authorized capital of SinoHub includes shares of “blank check” preferred stock.  The SinoHub Board has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued shares of its preferred stock, including the authority to establish one or more series and to fix the powers, preferences, rights and limitations of such class or series, without seeking stockholder approval.  They may, in the future, adopt anti-takeover measures.  The authority of the SinoHub Board of Directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock and any future anti-takeover measures it may adopt may in certain circumstances delay, deter or prevent takeover attempts and other changes in control of SinoHub not approved by its Board of Directors.  As a result, SinoHub stockholders may lose opportunities to dispose of their shares at favorable prices generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal and the market price of the Common Stock and the voting and other rights of its stockholders may also be affected.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere in this Prospectus. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results could differ materially because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” above and elsewhere in this Prospectus, and other factors that we may not know. All amounts are expressed in United States dollars.

OVERVIEW
Our Business

SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in electronic component sales and electronic component supply chain management (SCM) services. Our electronic component sales include procurement-fulfillment and individually negotiated electronic component sales to manufacturers. We deal only in original parts in original packing and do not alter or modify the parts in any way.  Accordingly, any quality issues with respect to the parts would be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the parts, and we provide no warranties with respect to the components we sell.  Our SCM services include warehousing, logistics and import/export. At present all of our component sales and SCM services occur in the PRC and Hong Kong.

Procurement-fulfillment starts when our manufacturer customer enters their bill of materials including default supplier and price for each electronic component into our proprietary, SCM online software system named “SinoHub SCM” for a project (for example, the production of 50,000 mobile phones). SinoHub then tries to find better pricing on each component than the target price set by the customer enabling the Company to make a margin on the purchasing of the components. Then the electronic components are ordered and received in SinoHub’s Hong Kong warehouse. When the bill of materials is complete, the customer can order just-in-time shipping of the components to their factory floor.

Electronic component sales are driven by SinoHub’s in-house sales representatives who find arbitrage opportunities by looking at the pricing in our database of all of the electronic components we have ever imported.  The database contains the price at which the part was imported, the quantities imported and descriptive information regarding the characteristics of the components and is updated in real time.

The Company provides SCM services to electronics manufacturers and component suppliers in the PRC).  Our professional Supply Chain Management platform integrates SinoHub SCM, logistics service centers located in key distribution/manufacturing cities in the PRC, and a service team of over 100 employees.

As a seller of electronic components and an electronic component supply chain management service provider, we manage all aspects of the purchase and movement of electronic components from their receipt from suppliers in our Hong Kong warehouse to their import into China and delivery to a manufacturer. We also handle the export of the finished goods when that is required. Roughly seventy percent (70%) of our business with manufacturer customers is related to mobile phones. The components we source in this vertical market change rapidly as the technology changes very quickly. This actually helps our business because it means that there are many more opportunities for price discrepancies than there are in vertical markets, such as refrigerator manufacture, where the same components are used year in and year out.

Each mobile phone built by one of our customers contains between 100 and 200 electronic components that have an aggregate resale value of between $15 and $30. At present, our business mix is weighted toward the lower end of the scale (the high end is “smart” phones) with the average purchase price of the electronic components that go into a phone one of our customers would make being around $20. We have customers who make hundreds of thousands of phones per month. In the past, we have only been able to handle part of their business because of liquidity constraints (our procurement-fulfillment business requires us to have available capital to purchase components for inventory prior to reselling them to customers). However, we are currently seeking to increase our business with several customers who want to give us the opportunity to supply them with components for a larger share of their business.

 In the last three years, mobile phone components have accounted for approximately 70% of our business and network equipment components have accounted for approximately 15% of our business. We expect these percentages to grow slightly in 2009 as we focus on these two vertical markets.  We believe that 90% of our manufacturer customers in these areas sell their products into the local Chinese market. As a result, we have yet to feel much effect from the global economic downturn because demand has remained strong for these products in China. Because sales of mobile phones typically spike around Chinese New Year which always occurs in either January or February, the fourth calendar quarter is usually our biggest volume quarter. Normally, the first quarter is our weakest quarter because of this long holiday, with the second and third quarters showing consecutive increases. A typical pattern of revenue for our Company would be 15%, 20%, 25% and 40% for the first through fourth quarters respectively. 2008 proved to be an exception as the third quarter was a robust quarter because of some delayed business coming over from the prior quarter and unusually strong demand.

The only inventory SinoHub carries is electronic components that we are staging for procurement-fulfillment projects. We do not buy components without a corresponding customer order to purchase the components.  In 2008, SinoHub had three customers, all in the mobile phone business, who accounted for 12%, 10% and 7% of our revenue respectively.  We expect this concentration to go down as our business expands. We do not have backlog orders, but with the successful completion of each procurement-fulfillment project and component sale, we look for repeat orders from these customers.

History and Basis of Reporting

SinoHub, Inc. (formerly known as Liberty Alliance, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation, originally incorporated in Utah in 1986, and subsequently merged and reorganized as Liberty Alliance, Inc. in Delaware in 1991.  In May 2008, Liberty Alliance, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary SinoHub Acquisition Corp., SinoHub, Inc., and Steven L. White, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which SinoHub Acquisition Corp. merged with and into SinoHub, Inc. and SinoHub, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Alliance.  After completion of the merger, the original stockholders of Liberty Alliance held approximately 6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Liberty Alliance common stock on a fully diluted basis and the former stockholders of SinoHub, Inc., including the shares issued to consultants for services rendered in connection with the merger, held approximately 94% of Liberty Alliance issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Subsequent to the completion of the merger, on July 18, 2008, Liberty Alliance amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to SinoHub, Inc. and effect a 3.5-to-1 reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of its common stock.

For financial reporting purposes, the reverse takeover of the Company has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with SinoHub International as the accounting acquirer whereby the historical financial statements and operations of SinoHub International became the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. When we refer in this prospectus to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of SinoHub International on a consolidated basis unless the context suggests otherwise.

For further details regarding the history of the Company, see “Description of Business – History” on page 23.

Business Operations

In the process of importing electronic components for our customers, SinoHub records the price, manufacturer, lead time and supplier name information for each part number in a database.  The Company’s business operations use data contained in this database to source electronic components for our manufacturer customers at the lowest price indicated.  We also use the same infrastructure we use to provide SCM services to our supplier customers (e.g. we use the same warehouses, trucks, import/export staff, third party freight forwarders) for our electronic component sales activities.  We import electronic components into China and deliver them inside China.  As a part of the procurement-fulfillment process, we assemble all of the electronic components needed to make the device to be manufactured by our customers in Hong Kong.  After all parts related to a customer’s order have been assembled, we deliver the parts to the customer’s factory floor in the PRC.  For example, if we were retained to process the procurement of 120 electronic components for a bill of material that will be used by the customer to make a mobile phone, we would collect all of the components in our warehouse in Hong Kong.  When all the components are assembled, we import the components into China and transport them to the customer’s factory.  Even though we derive only about 6% of our revenue from our SCM business, it is invaluable because it provides the information and the infrastructure that supports our procurement-fulfillment and electronic component sales.

The Company offers SCM customers the use of the SCM Platform under a fee based program where customers outsource the supply chain process to SinoHub, while retaining title to inventory, receivables, and commitments on supplier payables.  SinoHub provides the customer a complete SCM solution that includes importing and exporting services, facilitating Customs clearance, performing warehouse and distribution functions, and enabling foreign currency settlements through SinoHub’s banking relationships and its licensed qualifications as a Client Coordinator Enterprise in China.

The Company also provides a unique procurement-fulfillment program for customers that integrates the use of the SCM platform with inventory procurement, handling, and distribution, as well as payment terms, if required.  Customers may require “order fulfillment” services, where the customer outsources its electronic component purchasing process and specifies suppliers at pre-negotiated costs, and SinoHub receives a negotiated fee from its customer for services related to handling the purchasing, and for managing and financing the inventory through the supply chain.  Additionally, customers may request “order procurement” services, where SinoHub sources and procures electronic components from the marketplace, and then resells the components to its customers at negotiated prices that include the component cost, supply chain management, and financing, if necessary. It is possible that a customer would only use fulfillment services, but using procurement services implies the use of fulfillment services too. Currently we do not have any customers who only use fulfillment services.  In all cases, the procurement-fulfillment program provides customers with a streamlined management process for navigating all importing, Customs, warehousing, and delivery challenges, while addressing key objectives for working capital, inventory levels, order fill rates, and transaction costs.
 
15


SinoHub also supports customers by providing a sourcing channel for electronic components that are not part of a specific SCM or procurement-fulfillment program.  In these cases, SinoHub utilizes its industry knowledge and relationships with components suppliers and manufacturers to source products at competitive prices and within time constraints.  SinoHub responds to these “spot” orders from customers, sources the product, confirms pricing, and executes delivery.  Customers are required to pay on delivery of product.

Our biggest competition in the procurement-fulfillment and component sales businesses where we make 94% of our revenue comes from electronic component distributors, and in-house purchasing departments of EMS providers and OEMs. We do have a few competitors such as Shenzhen Eternal Asia, HopeSea and Strongjet, but none of these companies focus exclusively on electronic components and none of them has an online SCM system with the functionality of SinoHub SCM.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations

The Company derives revenue and gross profit primarily from sales of electronic components and fees associated with the provision of SCM services.

The Company reports revenue from supply chain management services and electronic components sales.  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.  Revenue from electronic components sales is based on quoted prices and is 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.

Cost of sales for SCM services primarily represents direct costs incurred for providing SCM services, including logistics services, import/export services, warehouse services and a number of ancillary services such as kitting, insurance, repackaging and re-labeling.  Cost of sales for electronic components primarily represents the cost of components and expenses directly related to component procurement.

SCM pricing is negotiated based on a percentage of the value of the goods handled.  For procurement-fulfillment and electronic component sales the Company makes a margin based on the difference between the price at which it buys electronic components and the price at which it sells these parts to the customer.  The margin SinoHub makes on this business varies based on the rapidly changing prices in the market into which the SinoHub SCM database give the Company a unique window.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries paid to employees, employee related expenses, professional fees, marketing costs, technology costs, sales commissions, depreciation, rent, and related office and facility expenses.

Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to December 31, 2007:

Overall Results

The company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $8.5 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior year, an increase of 143%.

Net Sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $79.5 million, up 176% from $28.8 million recorded in the prior year.  The Company reports net sales on the basis of two business categories, supply chain management services and electronic component sales.  In the year ended December 31, 2008, net sales of supply chain management services increased 138% to $5.0 million from $2.1 million in the prior year.  This increase was primarily based on the addition of nine large manufacturer customers who, we believe, were attracted to SinoHub by our online software system, SinoHub SCM.  In the year ended December 31, 2008, net sales of electronic components increased 179% to $74.5 million from $26.7 million in the prior year.  We believe that the main driving force behind this increase 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 online bill of material management and the use of bar codes to pre-sort components for processing, that made it easier for manufacturer customers to operate their supply chains.

Growth was supported by additional access to financial resources and bank borrowings during 2008.  In particular, the Company raised net proceeds of $1.3 million at the end of 2007 and $6.5 million in September 2008 from sales of new equity that was put to use financing additional procurement-fulfillment projects and increased component sales in 2008, and the Company was able to expand its bank lines with both China Construction Bank and China Industrial Bank.

Gross Profit 

The Company recorded gross profit of $16.2 million in the year of 2008 compared with $6.7 million in the prior year.  The gross profit margin for the year of 2008 decreased to 20.4% from 23.2% in the prior year.  Gross margins are under pressure as a result of growth in larger procurement-fulfillment projects where the mix of components and competitive pricing configurations result in lower margins.  While positive profit trends are expected as the Company’s sales grow, the trend toward lower gross profit margins may continue as the Company pursues and wins new business opportunities.  In particular, in the Company’s electronic components sales business, as volume increases, gross margins may tend to gradually decline because the occasional opportunity for us to make a very high margin transaction caused by a large price discrepancy between what the Company buys a component for and its sales price will not have as dramatic an effect on the overall gross profit earned for the period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 65% to $3.8 million in 2008 from $2.3 million in 2007 to support the general growth in sales and expanded operations.  These expenses were approximately 6% of revenues in the year of 2008 compared to 8% in the prior year as the Company experienced favorable leverage on infrastructure and operating expenses while sales increased.  For example, the 138% increase in net sales of SCM services and the 179% increase in net sales of electronic components in the year of 2008 were accomplished with an average of 91 employees versus 61 employees in the prior year, a 49% increase in average number of employees.

Income from Operations

The Company recorded income from operations of $10.8 million in the year of 2008, as compared with operating income of $4.0 million in the prior year.


The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.2% in the year of 2008 compared to 12.7% in 2007.  The statutory tax rate in the PRC of 25% in 2008 and 33% in 2007 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 will be 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.
 
17


Foreign Currency Translation Gain and Comprehensive Net Income

The Company reported foreign currency translation gains of $541,000 in the year of 2008, compared with foreign currency translation gains of $285,000 in the prior year as the increase in value of the RMB versus the USD continued.  Comprehensive net income (net income plus foreign currency translation gains) was $9.0 million in the year of 2008 compared with $3.8 million in the prior year.

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) and electronic component sales, including procurement-fulfillment programs.  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 increased with the private financing we closed on September 10, 2008 for net proceeds of approximately $6.5 million. Since gross proceeds were approximately $7.5 million the cost burden of $1 million represented 13.3%.  Our cost of capital with China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China was approximately 6% at December 31, 2008.  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 nearly as much as the US and European banks.  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.  We may also seek to raise additional capital in public or private equity financings.

We believe that SinoHub’s procurement-fulfillment and electronic component sales business 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.  Due to the risk factors discussed in this document 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.

At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively.  During the year of 2008, the net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities was $6.4 million, the net amount of cash provided by investing activities was $5.0 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $2.6 million.  Exchange rate changes increased cash flow effects by $344,000 in 2008.

The Company must generally pay the purchase price of electronic components for procurement-fulfillment customers and then recoup the purchase price from the customer upon delivery.  We only purchase standard components which are readily saleable.  When a manufacturer customer gives us a procurement-fulfillment project, the customer inputs a bill of materials with their supplier and 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 30 day payment terms.  The terms begin 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 0.5% per month in the year of 2008.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The Company maintains a significant investment in working capital, primarily accounts receivable and inventories. Accounts receivable and inventories represented approximately 74% and 42% of total assets at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

The net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities during the year of 2008 was $6.4 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.  In addition, accounts payable reductions were made during the period to enable the Company to get favorable terms with suppliers.  In the prior year period, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million as cash flow from income was largely offset by investments in receivables as well as certain deposits with customers as procurement-fulfillment projects where completed.
 
18


Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net amount of cash generated by investing activities during the year of 2008 was $5.0 million primarily the result of a release of restricted cash as the Company settled bank notes under letters of credit that required restricted cash balances.  In the prior year period, investing activities used $5.6 million of cash due to the restricted cash buildup.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net amount of cash provided by financing activities during the year of 2008 was $2.7 million, which included a private placement stock offering in the third quarter with gross proceeds of $7.5 million, proceeds from bank borrowings of approximately $2.1 million, and an amount of $1.6 million due from a related party offset by payments on bank loans of $7.3 million, expenses associated with the private placement of $1 million, and Note repayments of $251,000. The related company, GenNext Technology, Ltd., a company owned jointly by the Chairman and the President of the Company, which is based in Hong Kong, assisted the Company by facilitating certain foreign exchange transactions, and settled obligations to certain suppliers on behalf of the Company, and collected certain customer remittances on behalf of the Company. Over the course of the fourth quarter of 2008, the activities which were previously being conducted solely by GenNext Technology, Ltd. were transferred to B2B Chips, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was used to conduct the Company’s Hong Kong business as it achieved the required assignment of customer contracts and bank accounts to support the necessary foreign exchange transactions.  In the prior year period, cash flow from financing activities of $4.4 million included advance payments by investors of $1.4 million in connection with equity offerings that closed in November and December of 2007, and bank borrowing proceeds of $6.6 million, offset by Note repayments of $516,000 and reductions in related company payables to GenNext of approximately $3.1 million.

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

The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to income taxes and impairment of long-lived assets.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions and factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Based on our ongoing review, we plan to adjust to our judgments and estimates where facts and circumstances dictate.  Actual results could differ from our estimates. 

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. 

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, with roughly seventy percent (70%) of the Company’s business with manufacturer customers related to mobile phones.  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 the purpose 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 and cash equivalents on the balance sheet until the security for such funds has been released. 
 
19


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.  At December 31, 2008, the Company made $1.2 million in provision, or 5% of accounts receivable, due to ongoing severe global financial crisis.  In the prior year, 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.  The Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at December 31, 2008.

Financial Instruments
 
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,” SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”  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.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," 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. 

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.
 
20


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.”  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 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"), 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 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 including procurement-fulfillment procurement 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.   

Income Taxes 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under SFAS 109, 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, 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 States Dollars (“USD”) as its reporting currency.  The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” (“SFAS No. 52”).  The subsidiaries of the Company’s functional currencies are the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).  Under SFAS No. 52, 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 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS 128 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”).  SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview

SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in electronic component sales and electronic component supply chain management (SCM) services. Our electronic component sales include procurement-fulfillment and individually negotiated electronic component sales to manufacturers. We only deal in original parts in original packing and do not alter or modify the parts in any way.  Accordingly, any quality issues with respect to the parts would be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the parts. Our SCM services include warehousing, logistics and import/export. At present all of our component sales and SCM services occur in the PRC and Hong Kong.

Procurement-fulfillment starts when our manufacturer customer enters their bill of materials including default supplier and price for each electronic component into our proprietary, SCM online software system named “SinoHub SCM” for a project (for example, to obtain the necessary components for a project for the production of 50,000 mobile phones). SinoHub then tries to find better pricing on each component than the target price set by the customer enabling the Company to make a margin on the purchasing of the components. Then the electronic components are ordered and received in SinoHub’s Hong Kong warehouse. When the bill of materials is complete, the customer can order just-in-time shipping of the components to their factory floor.

Electronic component sales are driven by SinoHub’s in-house sales representatives who find arbitrage opportunities by looking at the pricing in our database of all of the electronic components we have ever imported.  The database contains the price at which the part was imported, the quantities imported and descriptive information regarding the characteristics of the components and is updated in real time.

The Company provides SCM services to electronics manufacturers and component suppliers in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).  Our professional Supply Chain Management platform integrates SinoHub SCM, logistics service centers located in key distribution/manufacturing cities in the PRC, and a service team of over 100 employees.

As a seller of electronic components and an electronic component supply chain management service provider, we manage all aspects of the purchase and movement of electronic components from their receipt from suppliers in our Hong Kong warehouse to their import into China and delivery to a manufacturer. We also handle the export of the finished goods when that is required. Roughly seventy percent (70%) of our business with manufacturer customers is related to mobile phones. The components we source in this vertical market change rapidly as the technology changes very quickly. This actually helps our business because it means that there are many more opportunities for price discrepancies than there are in vertical markets, such as refrigerator manufacture, where the same components are used year in and year out.

Each mobile phone built by one of our customers contains between 100 and 200 electronic components that have an aggregate value of between $15 and $30. At present, our business mix is weighted toward the lower end of the scale (the high end is “smart” phones) with the average purchase price of the electronic components that go into a phone one of our customers would make being around $20. We have customers who make hundreds of thousands of phones per month. In the past, we have only been able to handle part of their business because of liquidity constraints (our procurement-fulfillment business requires us to have available capital to purchase components for inventory prior to reselling them to customers). However, we are currently ramping up with several customers who want to give us the opportunity to supply them with components for a larger share of their business. In the last three years, mobile phone components have accounted for approximately 70% of our business and network equipment components have accounted for approximately 15% of our business. We expect these percentages to grow slightly in 2009 as we focus on these two vertical markets. 90% of our manufacturer customers in these markets sell their products into the local Chinese market. As a result, we have yet to feel much effect from the global slowdown because demand has remained strong for these products in China. Because sales of mobile phones typically spike around Chinese New Year which always occurs in either January or February, the fourth calendar quarter is usually our biggest volume quarter. Normally, the first quarter is our weakest quarter because of this long holiday, with the second and third quarters showing consecutive increases. A typical pattern of revenue for our Company would be 15%, 20%, 25% and 40% for the first through fourth quarters respectively. 2008 proved to be an exception as the third quarter was a very robust quarter because of some delayed business coming over from the prior quarter and unusually strong demand. The only inventory SinoHub carries is electronic components that we are staging for procurement-fulfillment projects. We never buy components without a corresponding order to purchase the components. In 2008, SinoHub had three customers, all in the mobile phone business, who accounted for 12%, 10% and 7% of our revenue respectively. We expect this concentration to go down as our business expands. We do not have backlog orders, but with the successful completion of each procurement-fulfillment project and component sale, we look for repeat orders from these customers.

History

Liberty Alliance, Inc. was a corporation organized in Utah in 1986.  In 1991, Liberty Alliance completed its domestication as a Delaware corporation.  Liberty Alliance filed for bankruptcy in 1994 and the bankruptcy proceedings were completed in 1995. From 1995 to 2006, Liberty Alliance had no or nominal assets and was not conducting any business operations.  In August 2006, Liberty Alliance changed its name to Vestige, Inc., and in September 2006 it changed its name back to Liberty Alliance, Inc.  On August 1, 2007, Liberty Alliance became a voluntary reporting company under the Exchange Act when it filed a Form 10 registration statement with respect to its shares of common stock.  Shares of Liberty Alliance common stock began to be reported on the over-the-counter bulletin board under the symbol “LBTI” on November 14, 2007.
 
23


In May 2008, Liberty Alliance, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary SinoHub Acquisition Corp., SinoHub, Inc., and Steven L. White, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which SinoHub Acquisition Corp. merged with and into SinoHub, Inc. and SinoHub, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Alliance.  In connection with the merger, Liberty Alliance issued to the former stockholders of SinoHub, Inc. 18,290,000 shares of Liberty Alliance common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of SinoHub, Inc.’s preferred and common stock, and Liberty Alliance assumed options to purchase shares of SinoHub, Inc. common stock which became exercisable for 489,451 shares of Liberty Alliance common stock.  In addition, Liberty Alliance also issued 510,000 shares of its common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with the merger, including 500,000 shares issued to JCGlobal Capital Partners LLC.  These consulting services included investment banking advice and strategic advisory services relating to the structure and consummation of the reverse merger between SinoHub and Liberty Alliance that was eventually consummated.  Immediately following the merger, Liberty Alliance had 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and options exercisable for an additional 489,451 shares of common stock. The merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with SinoHub, Inc. as the acquirer for accounting purposes.  After completion of the merger, the original stockholders of Liberty Alliance held approximately 6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Liberty Alliance common stock on a fully diluted basis and the former stockholders of SinoHub, Inc., including the shares issued to consultants for services rendered in connection with the merger, held approximately 94% of Liberty Alliance issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Subsequent to the completion of the merger, on July 18, 2008:

-                      SinoHub, Inc. amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to SinoHub International, Inc.;

-                      Liberty Alliance amended its certificate of incorporation to change its name to SinoHub, Inc. and effect a 3.5-to-1 reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of its common stock; and

-                      Shares of SinoHub, Inc. (formerly Liberty Alliance) common stock began to be reported on the over-the-counter bulletin board under the new symbol “SIHI” on a post-merger, post-split basis.

For financial reporting purposes, the reverse takeover of the Company has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with SinoHub International as the accounting acquirer whereby the historical financial statements and operations of SinoHub International became the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. When we refer in this prospectus to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of SinoHub International on a consolidated basis unless the context suggests otherwise.

Business Operations

SinoHub’s business operations are primarily dedicated toward utilizing the value of the SCM Platform to source and deliver electronic components and electronic products for our customers.

The Company offers customers the use of the SCM Platform under a fee based program whereby customers outsource the supply chain process to SinoHub, while retaining title to inventory, receivables, and commitments on supplier payables. SinoHub provides the customer a complete SCM solution that includes importing and exporting services, facilitating Customs clearance, performing warehouse and distribution functions, and enabling foreign currency settlements through SinoHub’s banking relationships and its licensed qualifications as a Client Coordinator Enterprise in China.   Foreign currency settlement services are valuable since the Chinese government limits the volume of foreign currency exchange based on the volume of imported and exported goods.   Because SinoHub has a high volume of imports, it has a high limit of foreign currency exchange.  Moreover, the high volume of foreign currency exchange makes SinoHub an attractive customer to banks, who earn transaction fees on processing the settlements. In addition, the Company has credit facilities with China Construction Bank, which can immediately settle the value added tax and custom duty with the government, thus, speeding up the goods in and out of the Customs.

The Company also provides a procurement-fulfillment program for customers that integrates the use of the SCM Platform with inventory procurement, handling, and distribution.  Customers may require “order fulfillment” services, where the customer outsources its electronic component purchasing process and specifies suppliers at pre-negotiated costs, and SinoHub receives a negotiated fee from its customer for services related to handling the purchasing, and for managing the inventory through the supply chain. Additionally, customers may request “order procurement” services, where SinoHub sources and procures electronic components from the marketplace, and then resells the components to its customers at negotiated prices that include the component cost and supply chain management. In all cases, the procurement-fulfillment program provides customers with a streamlined management process for navigating all importing, Customs, warehousing, and delivery challenges, while addressing key objectives for working capital, inventory levels, order fill rates, and transaction costs.
 
24


SinoHub also supports customers by providing a sourcing channel for electronic components that are not part of a specific SCM or procurement-fulfillment program. In these cases, SinoHub utilizes its industry knowledge and relationships with components suppliers and manufacturers to source products at competitive prices and within time constraints.  SinoHub responds to these “spot” orders from customers, sources the product, confirms pricing, and executes delivery. Customers are required to pay on delivery of product.

The Company has secured financing facilities (RMB based) with certain PRC banks to support its business operations. The facilities with each bank include:

 
-
Letter of credit facility with one bank in the amount of $3,200,000 to support trading activity. Restricted cash balances are required as security for draws against the facility and an annual commitment fee of 0.1% is assessed. In addition, the bank requires a third party guarantor. The third-party guarantor is Hong Feng Paper Industrial, Ltd., which required the Company to pay it a fee of $80,000 for providing its guaranty.  Other than the guaranty and the additional guaranty described below, the only relationship between the Company and Hong Feng is that the principal of Hong Feng owns shares of the common stock of the Company.  The facility renews each year and is available through August 2009.  The Company also has a $1,460,000 Customs duty import facility and a $2,200,000 Customs export refund facility through this bank to support short term duty collections on trading activity. These facilities renew each year and are available through February 2010.  The Customs export refund facility allows the Company to advance to its customers refunds of Value Added Tax to which such customers may be entitled by shipping products on which the tax was paid overseas prior to the receipt of the refunded amount.

 
-
Letter of credit facility with another bank in the amount of $3,400,000 to support trading activity. Restricted cash balances are required as security for draws against the facility and an annual commitment fee of 0.1% is assessed. In addition, the bank requires a third party guarantor.  The third-party guarantor is Hong Feng Paper Industrial, Ltd., which required the Company to pay it a fee of $70,000 for providing its guaranty. The facility was terminated in December 2008

 
-
Letter of credit facility with another bank in the amount of $4,400,000 to support its component sales business. Restricted cash balances are required as security for draws against the facility and the bank requires guarantors from a subsidiary and shareholders and lien on a PRC property owned by a director. In addition, the bank requires a third party guarantor.  The third-party guarantor required the Company to pay it a fee of $72,000 for providing its guaranty. The facility is available through September, 2009.

 
Subsidiaries

Our corporate structure is designed to comply with laws affecting ownership by foreign entities of PRC companies. When SinoHub SCM Shenzhen was incorporated, PRC laws prohibited a foreign owned company from owning an import/export license. That restriction has since been removed, but the mechanism for SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen to purchase SinoHub SCM Shenzhen without affecting SinoHub SCM Shenzhen’s status at Customs has not yet been defined. SinoHub Electronics Shanghai has the same purpose as SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, with each company focused on operating in Shanghai and Shenzhen, respectively.    SinoHub SCM Shanghai has the same purpose as SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, with each company focused on operating in Shanghai and Shenzhen, respectively. The reason for the use of two subsidiaries is driven by PRC law, which generally requires that a company be organized in the area in which it is operating.

The diagram below illustrates the current corporate structure of SinoHub, Inc. and its subsidiaries:
 
 

SinoHub International, Inc. was incorporated on March 23, 1999 as a Delaware corporation. Prior to the Merger, this company was named SinoHub, Inc. and was the primary holding company for the Chinese and Hong Kong subsidiaries listed below. SinoHub International, Inc. is wholly owned by SinoHub, Inc.

SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. was incorporated on September 19, 2000 in the People’s Republic of China to provide one-stop SCM services for electronic manufacturers and distributors in southern China.  SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. is wholly owned by SinoHub International, Inc.

SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. was incorporated on December 12, 2001 in the PRC to hold an import and export license in the PRC. SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. purchases and sells electronic components and provides Customs clearance services to our customers. Over 70% of the electronic components that SinoHub sells are imported by SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. This is the result of times past when Chinese regulations only allowed import/export licenses to be issued to companies that were 100% owned by Chinese citizens. A growing portion of imports are being done by SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. which now also has an import/export license, but it is SinoHub SCM Shenzhen that has the highest status at Huanggang Customs. Our declaration of trust agreement described below allows us to purchase SinoHub SCM Shenzhen at any time, but the Chinese government has not yet provided a way for us to acquire this company and retain its status at Huanggang Customs. Ultimately, we expect that either a way will be provided for SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen to acquire SinoHub SCM Shenzhen and retain its status at Huanggang Customs or SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen will reach equivalent status and the issue will be moot.  100% of the equity interest in SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. is held on behalf of SinoHub by SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. through a Declaration of Trust with SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. dated January 30, 2008. The Trustee, Hantao Cui, holds record title to the equity of SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. and agrees to sign all papers according to the instruction of SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. as the beneficial owner in order to enable the beneficial owner or its representative to attend meetings of shareholders of SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. in the capacity of proxy for the Trustee in and to enable the beneficial owner to exercise the voting rights in the capacity of proxy.  Ms. Cui is the wife of Lei Xia, President of SinoHub. She holds an MBA from the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, Arizona. Ms. Cui is the Director of Marketing for China for MFG.com.  Ms. Cui is serving as trustee as an accommodation to the Company and does not customarily serve in such capacities. The Trustee has also agreed to transfer 100% of the equity interest to any third party nominated by the beneficial owner (including beneficial owner) or to otherwise dispose of or deal with such equity in whatever manner instructed by the beneficial owner. The right to any consideration for such transfer belongs to SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. as the beneficial owner. SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. may appoint a new trustee in its sole discretion at any time.  The trust does not explicitly provide for termination.  It provides that the beneficial owner can replace the trustee at any time.   In addition, SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. has the right to require the trustee to transfer its record ownership of SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. to any third party or back to SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. at any time.  Either the replacement of the trustee or the transfer of record ownership will effectively result in the termination of the trust. The governing law of the Declaration of Trust is the law of the PRC.
 
26


SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd. was incorporated on March 9, 2005 in the PRC to provide one-stop SCM services for electronic manufacturers and distributors in northern China. SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd. is wholly owned by SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. which acquired record ownership of the company on January 17, 2008. Prior to that date, SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen had borne all costs of forming SinoHub SCM Shanghai and was the sole beneficial owner of SinoHub SCM Shanghai with record ownership of SinoHub SCM Shanghai being held in the name of a trustee pursuant to a Declaration of Trust substantially similar to, and for the same reasons as, the current arrangement with SinoHub SCM Shenzhen.  SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen was willing to terminate the trust arrangement with respect to the shares of SinoHub SCM Shanghai because, unlike SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, SinoHub SCM Shanghai does not have Client Coordinator Enterprise status with Chinese Customs.  SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen paid nominal consideration for the transfer of the shares.

SinoHub Electronics Shanghai, Ltd. was incorporated on July 5, 2005 in the PRC to provide one-stop SCM services for electronic manufacturers and distributors in the PRC. SinoHub Electronics Shanghai, Ltd. is wholly owned by SinoHub International, Inc.
 
B2B Chips, Limited was incorporated on June 12, 2006 in Hong Kong to purchase and sell electronic components. B2B Chips is wholly owned by SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd.

SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) Limited was incorporated on May 8, 2007 in Hong Kong and has not yet commenced business. SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) is wholly owned subsidiary of B2B Chips and was acquired on April 10, 2008.  B2B Chips acquired SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) from its owners, Henry T. Cochran and Lei Xia, for HKD 10,000.

Import/Export Licenses; Client Coordinator Enterprise

The various companies listed above hold import/export licenses as follows:

SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. obtained its import/export license on April 30, 2004.  The current license is renewable within 30 days prior to September 19, 2010.

SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. obtained its import/export license on January 18, 2002.  The current license is renewable within 30 days prior to January 18, 2011.

SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd. obtained its import/export license on April 1, 2006.  The current license is renewable within 30 days prior to April 6, 2011.

The licenses will expire if not renewed by the respective dates set forth above.  The licenses can be terminated prior to expiration if, among other reasons:

 
·
the license owner declares bankruptcy,
 
·
the license owner engages in smuggling,
 
·
the license owner fails to pay Customs duties and Value Added Taxes when due, or
 
·
the license owner fails to otherwise comply with the conditions of the license.

In addition to its license, in September 2008, SinoHub SCM Shenzhen attained Client Coordinator Enterprise Coordinator status with the Huanggang Customs authority in China.  As a Client Coordinator Enterprise, SinoHub SCM Shenzhen is able to achieve expedited Customs clearance of its goods that it is importing into China and may defer the payment of Value Added Tax and Customs Duty for two weeks.

Market Overview:  The Electronic Component Industry in China


Whereas in North America and Europe the top manufacturers generally purchase components directly from the component manufacturers themselves, in China, to date, even the largest multinational OEMs like Nokia and Sony Ericsson and EMS providers like Flextronix and Foxconn are generally unable to purchase components in China directly from U.S. and European component manufacturers, in large part because these component manufacturers do not have well-established supply chains into China.  The rapid growth of electronic component distributors in China and the growth of Web-based Internet procurement have created a very fragmented electronic components market, with no distributor capturing significant market share.  To date even the biggest electronic component distributors in China (WPG, Arrow, Avnet and Yosun) do not provide complete SCM services to their customers, unlike in the US and Europe where large component manufacturers and franchise distributors provide complete SCM services to their customers.  SinoHub believes that the fragmented market for electronics components in China and the lack of an end-to-end SCM create an opportunity to combine the sale of electronic components with efficient SCM services to garner a share of the growing market for such components and services in China.

SinoHub’s Strategy

SinoHub seeks to implement a strategy of expanding its customer base for electronic component sales in China by delivering SCM efficiencies to its customers to drive on-time deliveries and customer satisfaction.   We plan to do this by maintaining and enhancing the quality and efficiency of our SCM services, including our proprietary SinoHub SCM online software service.  In particular, we intend to focus on continuing to build the procurement-fulfillment portion of our business.

Development of SinoHub’s Business; Component Sales; and Component Procurement-Fulfillment Programs

SinoHub’s original business was the provision of SCM software to assist suppliers of electronic components with their supply chains into PRC.  We refer to these customers as our “supplier” customers. Eventually SinoHub developed an integrated SCM service offering, including warehousing, logistics and import/export to assist suppliers deliver products to Chinese manufacturers.  As a result of SinoHub’s position as a provider of SCM services in China and our close relationships with a number of electronic component suppliers and Chinese manufacturers as well as our experience in the electronic components industry, we eventually decided we had an opportunity to supply certain Chinese manufacturers with electronic components and began to source and sell components for our own account.   As these sales grew as a percentage of revenue, we increased the resources which we dedicated to sales of components. As our component customers and the market became more aware of and confident in our SCM service offering, the opportunity arose for us to generate integrated sales of components and SCM services is a streamlined approach to inventory management and order procurement-fulfillment.  Currently, the vast majority of our revenues are the result of sales of electronic components.  Our sales of components currently fall into two different categories, namely individually negotiated component sales, which currently account for approximately 51% of our sales (compared to 63% in 2007) and component sales as part of procurement-fulfillment programs which currently account for approximately 43% of our sales (compared to 30% in 2007).

Currently, our electronic component procurement and sales staff of 15 full time employees look for opportunities to source components for manufacturer customers at more competitive prices than the manufacturer customer is currently receiving.   If a lower price can be achieved and the customer agrees with the price we quote, an opportunity to lower customer costs and increase our revenues and profits exits.  Although we are not contractually obligated to refrain from any sales activity, if a manufacturer customer of ours is buying a specific component directly from one of SinoHub’s supplier customers, we will not interrupt that purchase. To mitigate the risk of purchasing and taking title to the components in these sales of components, we purchase only standard components that, if necessary, can be sold to other customers, and we limit the size of each order.

SinoHub’s Solution

While we derive the vast majority of our revenues from the sale of electronic components, we believe our SCM services are important to our business and drive our ability to attract customers.  SinoHub offers a full SCM Platform solution.  The SinoHub SCM Platform brings a systems approach to our customers, which enables them to understand, manage, and coordinate the flow of products and services, within their supply chain.  SinoHub’s SCM Platform consists of a Web-based online supply chain management system (SinoHub SCM), key service centers in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, and a supply chain management service team that is able to work with our customers through our online system in real time.

SinoHub SCM

SinoHub SCM is a proprietary, web-based software system that provides our customers information along with security, accuracy and ease of use. Because we only deal with electronic components, we can more easily implement features our customers require. Since our SCM Platform is Web based, our customers can quickly determine the status of shipments, the status and location of inventory in our warehouses, and the status of financial transactions.  The SinoHub SCM is accessible in both Chinese and English.  The following flow chart illustrates the SinoHub SCM functionality.

SinoHub Service Centers

SinoHub utilizes its physical locations as service centers for electronic component suppliers and OEM/EMS manufacturers. Geographical distances can significantly affect the ability to provide effective SCM services. Establishing multifunctional and technologically advanced service centers in major cities in China may lower costs and improve service standards. SinoHub has established service centers in Shenzhen and Shanghai which are connected through the SinoHub SCM.

SCM Service Team

SinoHub has expended time and resources to hire employees with experience in the electronic component field and to provide additional training to ensure the highest quality of service to our customers.  Our SCM Service Team includes more than 100 employees.

Our customers may access the status of their components in real time through SinoHub SCM and interact directly with our Customer Service representatives to resolve problems. The system has helped reduce errors, save cost and time and enable customers to get shorter time to market for their end products.

We believe approximately 50% of the electronic components entering China are imported at Huanggang Customs in Shenzhen. SinoHub has achieved Client Coordinator Enterprise status with Huanggang Customs (the highest status possible). This special status affords the Company priority status at Huanggang Customs and enables SinoHub to obtain Customs clearance efficiently, by allowing us to input import/export documents online, resulting in time savings of at least one hour for each order, which means faster imports and exports for our customers. To achieve Client Coordinator Enterprise status at Huanggang Customs a company must have had no incidents of undeclared goods being discovered in Customs clearance for 3 years consecutively and it must have paid RMB 100 million in value-added tax annually.  We believe that there are fewer than ten import/export companies focused on electronic components which have this status. There is currently no expiration on this status as long as these criteria continue to be met.

We believe that through providing SCM services to our customers we gain critical information about the market for electronic components used in the industries we serve, including information about price and availability.  We believe that providing these services also allows us to gain visibility and credibility in the Chinese market for electronic components for our industry. We plan to establish the SinoHub brand to be synonymous with SCM services for electronic components in China, and to complement our procurement-fulfillment services with our total SCM solution.

Unlike express forwarders, SinoHub is able to charge for its SCM services as a percentage of the value of the goods it handles. SinoHub’s processing volume for SCM services in 2008 exceeded US$300 million in inventory value processed on behalf of our customers.  We estimate that approximately 85% of all of the electronic components that are used in manufacturing in China must be imported as China’s production of electronic components is very limited at this point. Our manufacturer customers, who are all located in China, must import electronic components from outside the PRC to operate their businesses. Our supplier customers are mainly companies incorporated outside of China who have representative offices in China and supply electronic components to Chinese manufacturers. Supplier customers use our warehousing, logistics and import/export services.   Our supply chain management platform for the electronic components industry in China connects manufacturer customers, supplier customers and SinoHub in real time.

Customers

SinoHub has approximately 25 manufacturer customers. Our manufacturer customers are Chinese companies which are in the business of contract manufacturing or are design houses (currently limited to mobile phone design) in China.  These customers purchase components from us and ancillary to these purchases we also provide them procurement-fulfillment, electronic component sales and SCM services including warehousing, logistics and import/export.  Sales of components to these customers constituted approximately $74.5 million in 2008 and sales of services to these customers were $1.49 million in 2008.

SinoHub has approximately 95 supplier customers.   Our supplier customers are mainly companies incorporated outside of China which have representative offices in China and supply electronic components to Chinese manufacturers. The services we provide to our supplier customers are SCM services comprised of warehousing, logistics and import/export support.   Pricing for our supplier customers is negotiated, but on average it is about 1% of the value of the goods we handle for them.  Sales of services to these customers (which do not involve sales of components) were $3.48 million in 2008.

Company Strengths

We believe the strengths outlined below have contributed to our growth so far:
 
 
·
specialized knowledge about component sourcing and pricing which we obtain from our supply chain management operations and use in our procurement-fulfillment and component sales business;

 
·
our ability to provide one-stop-shop for our customers who wish to purchase components from us for delivery to the factory without the need to handle sourcing, import/export, or any other aspect of logistics or fulfillment;

 
·
SinoHub SCM SZ’s Client Coordinator Enterprise Coordinator status with the Huanggang Customs authority, which facilitates our ability to clear shipments through Customs and enables us to permit our customers to defer payment of Value Added Tax;
 
 
·
a strong and seasoned management team with many years experience in the electronic components industry.
 
 
·
a supply chain management platform for the electronic components industry in China that connects manufacturer customers, supplier customers and SinoHub in a real time, transparent environment to allow our customers to manage their own components supply chain operations with efficiency;

 
·
continuous innovation of our proprietary supply chain management system to expand functionality and improve customer satisfaction; and

 
·
dedication and focus on providing supply chain management services for the electronic components sector in China.
    
SinoHub’s Strategy

SinoHub is a complete SCM service provider in China dedicated to electronic product manufacturers, suppliers and distributors.  Our goal is to make the SinoHub SCM Platform the most effective SCM Platform for electronic components manufacturers and suppliers. To accomplish this strategy, we plan to:

 
·
increase brand awareness of SinoHub as a leading electronic component sales and SCM service provider for electronic component manufacturers and distributors;

 
·
continue to expand our SCM Platform and improve process efficiency. We will continue to invest in improving our processing efficiencies by enhancing our technologies and expanding our service team;

 
·
optimize our SinoHub SCM software system, to create a dominant position;

31

 
 
·
continue to expand the services we provide to our customers. We believe that the scope of our services differentiates us from many of our competitors. We will continue to look for ways to provide more value added services to become a best-in-class service provider; and

 
·
expand our SCM Platform to locations outside China, including the United States, through strategic acquisitions. We intend to leverage our reputation to aggressively pursue strategic acquisitions.

Major Customers and Suppliers

For the year ended December 31, 2008, one customer represented 12% and one customer accounted for 10% of SinoHub’s total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008, two suppliers represented 6% and 5% respectively of the electronic components we purchased.  The level of sales to any customer and purchases from any supplier may vary from quarter to quarter.

SinoHub does not expect significant customer concentration to continue in the future since our customers are generally small to medium size equipment manufacturers in China.  As our business has grown our customer base has expanded and the percentage of business we do with any one customer has declined. Because procurement-fulfillment projects are based on a particular product being made, it is unlikely that new customers will have so many projects that they will become more than 10% of our revenue.
 
Supplies of the electronic components that we currently purchase are readily available from numerous suppliers and resellers most of whom are based overseas but have representative offices in China. Our three largest suppliers are Willas-Array, Yosun and Future Electronics, which account for 6%, 5% and 3%, respectively, of the components purchased in the year ended December 31, 2008.  Purchases are generally made based on purchase orders and we do not have any long term supply agreements.  Conversely, we do not have long term contracts with our customers to buy the components from us.
 
Competition

We compete with a number of companies in China that sell or distribute electronic component parts and which may also offer import/export, logistics and other SCM services. We also compete with “in house” purchasing departments of large electronic component vendors, EMS providers and OEMs.  We believe that many of the distributors against which we compete provide some but not all of the SCM services that we provide. We do not believe that any other company distributing electronic components in China currently provides a complete SCM solution, although some electronic component vendors and distributors provide logistic services to their customers and we expect that our competitors will eventually seek to offer, directly or indirectly, a greater number of SCM services.  We also face competition from local import/export companies, such as Shenzhen Eternal Asia Supply Chain Company, Ltd., Shenzhen Strongjet Technology Company, Ltd. and Shenzhen Huafuyang Import and Export Company, Ltd. (HopeSea), which also offer logistics services, although none of these companies focuses exclusively on the electronic components market.  Professional freight forwarders such as Federal Express and DHL provide express delivery to customers, however, they do not provide electronic component inventory management, currency exchange, VAT invoicing, and Customs and excise tax services, and they are not focused on the electronics field.   We believe that SinoHub’s primary advantage over in-house purchasing departments is that the up-to-date sourcing and pricing knowledge which we gain from the large volume of components we handle as part of our SCM service business for suppliers and the knowledge we gain from the purchase transactions for our own component resales allows us to obtain better pricing and availability than these in-house departments in product categories such as mobile phones where the technology, pricing and availability of parts changes rapidly.  We believe that our advantage over many electronic component distributors is that we have very detailed knowledge of what manufacturers are buying and that we have a broader knowledge of electronic component pricing from our database of parts that we import.  Many of our competitors have much greater financial resources than we do and we expect competition to grow over time and to present greater challenges for us, especially if any of our competitors were to effectively adopt the elements of our business model.

·
76 employees in Shenzhen:

During the last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any officer, director or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest. There are no transactions presently proposed, except as follows:
 
1.
On January 17, 2007, Henry T. Cochran, CEO and Chairman of SinoHub’s Board of Directors, purchased a one year 7.69% Note from SinoHub, Inc. in the amount of RMB 1,658,000 (approximately $213,000) which was repayable on demand. This Note was repaid by SinoHub on March 20, 2007. Interest expense paid on this Note for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,500.
 
2.
On March 20, 2007, SinoHub issued 371,842 shares of its common stock to the spouse of Henry T. Cochran, the Company’s CEO and Chairman for agreeing to let SinoHub use the condominium in which she holds 50% ownership (and Henry T. Cochran owns the remaining 50%) as collateral for a bank loan.   The shares were valued at $43,000.  The value of the payment was determined by CFO of the Company, taking into account, among other factors, the value of the asset provided as collateral.

3.
On January 17, 2008, SinoHub’s subsidiary SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. acquired beneficial ownership of SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd.  from Sai Lin Xu with the shares of SinoHub SCM Shanghai, Ltd. being held for the benefit of SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. by a trustee pursuant to a Declaration of Trust   In accordance with the terms of the Declaration of Trust, no material monetary payment was associated with this acquisition because through the Declaration of Trust, SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen had borne all costs.  The trustee was Sai Lin Xu, the mother-in-law of Lei Xia, the Company’s President.

4.
The Company distributed electronic components to and resold electronic products purchased from GenNext Technology, Ltd., a company owned jointly by Henry T. Cochran, the Company’s CEO and Chairman and Lei Xia, the Company’s President and member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The goods were electronic components.  Since China’s currency is not freely convertible there are a number of customers who require their financial transactions to be domiciled in Hong Kong using a “hard” currency (usually USD or HKD). The related company was used for transactions that the customer required to be domiciled in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was used to operate outside PRC and to take advantage of its existing banking relationships.  The related company assisted the Company by facilitating certain foreign exchange transactions, and settled obligations to certain suppliers on behalf of the Company, and collected certain customer remittances on behalf of the Company. Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company discontinued these related company activities as the Company’s Hong Kong operation achieved the required assignment of customer contracts and bank accounts to support foreign exchange transactions. In addition, the related company provided certain warehousing and logistics services to the Company during the development of its Hong Kong operation. In each case the amount of consideration was based on the cost of goods plus labor costs. The labor costs were based on actual square feet of GenNext’s warehouse that the Company used.
 
Payment amounts to the related party were determined by cost pass-through without mark-up.
 
During the year of 2008 and 2007, the Company sold goods totaling approximately $1.5 million and $1.2 million to the related company and purchased goods totaling approximately $3,000,000 and $504,000 from the related company.  The Company paid no service fees to the related company in 2008 and paid service fees totaling $197,000 in 2007.  During 2008, the Company received rental income of $154,000 for the lease of warehouse space to the related company. At December 31, 2007, the related company owed the Company $1,493,000, which was interest free and repayable on demand.  At December 31, 2008, there was no amount outstanding between the Company and the related company.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company owed the Chairman and CEO $203,000 which was payable on demand. Interest expense was charged at 6.5% per annum on the amount due. Interest expense related to this obligation was $4,000 and $15,000 in 2007 and 2006. The amount was repaid in 2007.
   
5.
On April 10, 2008, B2B Chips acquired SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) from its owners, Henry T. Cochran, the Company’s CEO and Chairman, and Lei Xia, the Company’s President and member of the Board of Directors, for HKD 10,000 ($1,290), which represented the initial capital contributions of Messrs. Cochran and Xia in the company.  SinoHub Technology never conducted any business and its sole asset at all times was a Hong Kong bank account holding the balance of the capital contributions.  The acquisition of SinoHub Technology by B2B Chips was a purchase for convenience and the purchase price was fixed by the SinoHub’s CFO at HKD 10,000 ($1,290), the value of SinoHub Technology’s sole asset, i.e., the cash balance of its bank account, and the cash spent on organizing SinoHub Technology.
   
6.
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. In connection with the Company’s reverse merger, Steve White, the controlling shareholder of the company while it was a dormant shell and its sole director, was granted piggyback registration rights under the terms of the Merger Agreement. Mr. White also executed a lock-up agreement with the Company that expires on May 14, 2009.
   
7.
A PRC property owned by a director and his spouse is pledged to a bank to secure banking facilities for the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Description of Capital Stock

Common stock

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. As of December 31, 2008, 24,501,989 shares of our common stock were outstanding.

Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our common stock. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment to our creditors, if any, our assets will be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock.

The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. We have never declared or paid cash dividends. Our board of directors does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future. Should we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our ability to do so and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries and other holdings and investments.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, no shares of which were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2008.
 
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our board to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series within a class upon authority of the board without further stockholder approval. Any preferred stock issued in the future may rank senior to the common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. In addition, any such shares of preferred stock may have class or series voting rights. Moreover, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock or the existence of the un-issued preferred stock might tend to discourage or render more difficult a merger or other change in control. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Registration Rights

On September 10, 2008, SinoHub entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private offering, referred to as a PIPE offering for an aggregate of (i) 4,406,533 shares of common stock, (ii) three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.15 per share and (iii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share.  

The investors in the PIPE offering are entitled to have the 4,406,533 shares of common stock and the 2,203,256 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the three-year and five-year warrants registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into among the Company and such holders. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company has agreed to file this registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, to the investors in the PIPE offering no later than October 25, 2008, and to have such registration statement declared effective on or before January 9, 2009. The Company has received an extension of this date to May 12, 2009 from the investors in the PIPE offering.   If the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2009, then each selling shareholder will be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash or common stock, at the Company’s option, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such selling shareholder for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective, with such damages determined as if January 9, 2009 remained the deadline for the effectiveness of the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to the selling shareholders.

43

 
Piggy Back Registration Rights.  An aggregate of 796,094 shares of SinoHub subject to Lock-Up Agreements entered into among such holders and SinoHub in connection with the Merger are entitled to piggyback registration rights under the terms of the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with SinoHub’s reverse merger. The lock-up restrictions expired with respect to 398,000 of these shares on November 14, 2009, and expire with respect to the balance of the shares on May 14, 2009.  The lock-ups were entered into by Lorikeet, Inc., the controlling shareholder of the Company while it was a dormant shell, and the Company’s consultant at such time John Leo (and John Leo’s subsequent transferees: Jeffrey Grossman, Daniel Carlson, John Tammaro, Grace King and Beilei Dong). The 796,094 shares owned by the persons subject to the Lock-Up Agreements have been included in this registration statement, and the lock-up restrictions with respect to the 796,094 shares do not apply to shares included in a registration statement.  Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement. 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 were entitled to piggy back and demand registration rights with respect to the shares of SinoHub International common stock into which such preferred stock was convertible pursuant to the terms of certain Stock Purchase Agreements entered into among SinoHub  International and such holders.   While those agreements provided that they were binding on the “successors or assigns” of SinoHub International, as SinoHub International remained a separate legal entity after the merger, we do not believe that SinoHub is a “successor or assign” of SinoHub International.  Accordingly, we do not believe that these rights extend to the shares of SinoHub common stock received by such holders in the merger, it is possible that such holders may take a different view, and there can be no guarantee that, if they choose to litigate the matter, a court would find in our favor.  The Company does not presently intend to register these shares, but reserves the right to do so if so required by a court of competent jurisdiction or if the Company otherwise deems it prudent to do so.
 
Resale of Restricted Securities

Rule 144

Rule 144 provides an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for sales by holders of "restricted securities" (i.e., securities acquired directly or indirectly from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer in a transaction or chain of transactions not involving a public offering) and for sales of "control securities" (i.e., securities held by affiliates, regardless of how they acquired them).
        
In February 2008, amendments to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 that substantially liberalized the rules governing the resale of securities issued in private transactions or held by affiliates became effective. The amendments shortened the holding periods for restricted securities of public companies, significantly reduced the conditions applicable to sales of restricted securities by non-affiliates, and modified other aspects of the rules.

Under amended Rule 144, holders of restricted securities of reporting companies (i.e., companies that have been subject to public reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale) are able to sell their securities after holding them for only six months, subject to specified conditions. Sales under Rule 144 may also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the combined company.

Sales by Non-Affiliates under Rule 144

After six months but prior to one year from the date of acquisition of securities from the issuer or an affiliate of the issuer, non-affiliates of reporting companies may resell those securities under Rule 144 subject only to the current public information requirement described below. They will not have to file a Form 144, follow manner-of-sale requirements, or stay within the volume limitations. After holding securities for one year, non-affiliates of both reporting and non-reporting companies may resell those securities freely without any additional conditions under Rule 144.

Sales by Affiliates

In general, affiliates are subject to all of the requirements under Rule 144.

44

 
·
Current public information. There must be adequate current public information available about the issuer. Reporting companies must have been subject to public reporting requirements for at least 90 days immediately before the Rule 144 sale and must have filed all required reports (other than Forms 8-K) during the 12 months (or shorter period that the company was subject to public reporting) before the sale. For non-reporting companies (including companies that have been subject to the public reporting requirements for less than 90 days), certain other specified public information must be available.
     
 
·
Holding period. Restricted securities must be held for at least six months before they may be sold (securities issued in registered transactions are not subject to a holding period). The holding period for restricted securities of non-reporting companies is one year.
     
 
·
Volume limitations. For equity securities, in any three-month period, resales may not exceed a sales volume limitation equal to the greater of (i) the average weekly trading volume for the preceding four calendar weeks, or (ii) one percent of the outstanding securities of the class.  The volume limitation for debt securities permits the sale of up to 10% of a tranche or class of debt securities in any three-month period.
     
 
·
Manner-of-sale requirements. Resales of equity securities must be made in unsolicited "brokers' transactions" or transactions directly with a "market maker" and must comply with other specified requirements.  Equity securities may be sold in "riskless principal transactions" (in addition to "brokers' transactions" and transactions directly with a "market maker").
     
 
·
Filing of Form 144. The seller must file a Form 144 if the amount of securities being sold in any three-month period exceeds the lesser of 5,000 shares or $50,000 in aggregate sales price.

Shares of Former Shell Company  

Under Rule 144, persons owning shares in a company that is or at any time was a shell company (as defined in the Exchange Act) will not be entitled to sell the shares received pursuant to Rule 144 until such time as information about the former shell company that is equivalent to the information required under Form 10 of the Exchange Act has been on file with the SEC for a period of one year.  As a result, the SinoHub stockholders who received shares of SinoHub in the merger would generally be unable to avail themselves of Rule 144 until one year after the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the consummation of the Merger and complying with the requirements thereof was filed with the SEC, on May 20, 2008. However, the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the consummation of the Merger did not contain interim financial statements and pro forma financial information relating to the Merger and certain information regarding prior transactions in unregistered securities of SinoHub (including its predecessor, Liberty Alliance) and SinoHub International (including its predecessor, SinoHub, Inc.).  We intend to include this information in an amendment to the Form 8-K.

Accordingly, we believe that none of our shares of common stock can currently be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that our stockholders will not be entitled to sell SinoHub shares pursuant to Rule 144 until one year after the amended Form 8-K is filed.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware Law

Some provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make the following transactions more difficult:

 
·
acquisition of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise; and

 
·
Removal of our incumbent officers and directors.
 
These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, summarized below, are expected to discourage and prevent coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to negotiate first with our board of directors. They are also intended to provide our management with the flexibility to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability if our board of directors determines that a takeover is not in the best interests of our stockholders. These provisions, however, could have the effect of discouraging attempts to acquire us, which could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

No Cumulative Voting  

Under Delaware law, cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation authorizes cumulative voting. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a minority stockholder to vote a portion or all of its shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder will not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors based on the number of shares of our stock the stockholder holds as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision regarding a takeover.
 
45

 
Undesignated Preferred Stock  

The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors, without the approval of our stockholders, to amend our certificate of incorporation to create one or more series of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, dividend or other rights or preferences that supersede the rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock and which could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company.

These provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth as of  December 31, 2008, information regarding the current beneficial ownership of our common stock by the persons identified, based on information provided to us by them, which we have not independently verified. Although we have assumed for purposes of the table that the selling stockholders will sell all of the shares offered by this prospectus, because they may from time to time offer all or some of their shares under this prospectus or in another manner, no assurance can be given as to the actual number of shares that will be resold by the selling stockholder (or any of them), or that will be held after completion of the resales.  In addition, a selling stockholder may have sold or otherwise disposed of shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or otherwise since the date he or she provided information to us. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that the shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Except as set forth below, no selling stockholder has held any position nor had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the past three years.  Except as set forth below, each of the selling stockholders has advised the Company that it is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.

This table is based upon information supplied by the selling shareholder. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned are based on an aggregate of 24,501,989 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2008 and, to the extent applicable, the warrants to purchase common stock held by .the persons for whom such number and percentage is being calculated.

(2)
Because the selling shareholder identified in this table may sell some, all or none of the shares owned by it that are registered under this registration statement, and because, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares registered hereunder, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling shareholders at the time of this registration statement. Therefore, we have assumed for purposes of this table that the selling shareholder will sell all of the shares beneficially owned by it.

On September 10, 2008, SinoHub entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private offering, referred to as a PIPE offering for an aggregate of (i) 4,406,533 shares of common stock, (ii) three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.15 per share and (iii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $7,491,110.

Shares of SinoHub subject to Lock-Up Agreements entered into among such holders and SinoHub in connection with the Merger are entitled to piggyback registration rights under the terms of the Merger Agreement entered into in connection with SinoHub’s reverse merger. The lock-up restrictions expire on May 14, 2009 and do not apply to shares included on a registration statement.  The lock-ups were entered into by Lorikeet, Inc., the controlling shareholder of the Company while it was a dormant shell, and the Company’s consultant at such time John Leo (and John Leo’s subsequent transferees: Jeffrey Grossman, Daniel Carlson, Grace King, John Tammaro and Beilei Dong). These 796,094 shares have been included in this registration statement.   The shares of common stock held by Lorikeet were purchased from the Company in a private placement on June 20, 2006 for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement between the Company and the stockholder.  These shares held by the balance of the stockholders subject to the lock-ups were initially sold by Lorikeet and certain other shareholders of the Company to John C. Leo upon the closing of the Merger.  Mr. Leo then transferred the shares set forth above to Messrs. Grossman, Tammaro and Carlson and Ms. King on August 14, 2008.  On October 9, 2008, Mr. Leo sold 150,000 shares to Beilei Dong for $100,000.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
·
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

 
·
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
·
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
·
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
 
·
privately negotiated transactions;

 
·
to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

 
·
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
·
a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 
·
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of Common Stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.  In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law .

49

 
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers.  Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to the Company that it acquired the securities subject to this Registration Statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

The Company has advised each selling stockholder that it is the view of the SEC that it may not use shares registered on this Registration Statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC.  If a selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  The selling stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this Registration Statement.
 
The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

The Company's directors and executive officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's Bylaws. These provisions state that the Company's directors may cause the Company to indemnify a director or former director against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a result of him acting as a director. The indemnification of costs can include an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment. Such indemnification is at the discretion of the Company's board of directors and is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's policy regarding indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in claims for indemnification.


INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending an action may be paid by a corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action if the director or officer undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person, or the person for whom he is the legally representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company, against all liabilities, losses, expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, directors and officers of the Company (and, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, employees and agents of the Company to the extent that Delaware law permits the Company to provide indemnification to such persons)  in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted under Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company, its stockholders and others. The provision does not affect directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

51

 
The Company has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers, that require the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including attorneys’ fees), and advance expenses if requested by such person, in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating, or preparing for any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any inquiry, hearing, or investigation (collectively, a “Proceeding”), relating to any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of the indemnification agreement, related to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the Company or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, or related to anything done or not done by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company. Indemnification is prohibited on account of any Proceeding in which judgment is rendered against such persons for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such persons of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the provisions of this section.  The Company currently maintains such insurance.

Settlement by the Company. The right of any person to be indemnified is subject always to the right of the Company by its Board of Directors, in lieu of such indemnity, to settle any such claim, action, suit or proceeding at the expense of the Company by the payment of the amount of such settlement and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

SINOHUB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO 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”).  Approximately 94% 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 project or as one-off electronic component sale.
 
In connection with the supply of such components and products, the Company also provides supply chain management services from which we derive approximately 6% of our revenues.
 
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. 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.

The current operations of the Company include the following subsidiaries:

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.
 
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 purpose 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 is reported as restricted cash and is 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.
 
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:
 
F-7

 
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.  The Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at December 31, 2008.

Financial Instruments
 
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,” SFAS No 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.”  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.”
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," 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.
 
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.”  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 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"), 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 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. 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.
 
 Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  Under SFAS 109, 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, 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.
 
F-8

 
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”).  The subsidiaries of the Company’s functional currencies are the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).  Under SFAS No. 52, 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 SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS 128 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 December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”).  SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  This statement is effective beginning January 1, 2009.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 141R to have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
 
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require; the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  SFAS 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
F-9

 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”  This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments.  Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures.  SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  SFA 162 will be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the PCAOB amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  The Company does not believe SFAS 162 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.”  The scope of this Statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance and reinsurance contracts, as described in the Statement, issued by enterprises included within the scope of Statement 60.  Accordingly, this Statement does not apply to financial guarantee contracts issued by enterprises excluded from the scope of Statement 60 or to some insurance contracts that seem similar to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises (such as mortgage guaranty insurance or credit insurance on trade receivables).  This Statement also does not apply to financial guarantee contracts that are derivative instruments included within the scope of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative instruments and Hedging Activities.”  SFAS 163 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years; disclosure requirements in paragraphs 30(g) and 31 are effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after May 23, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active”, to clarify guidance on determining the fair value of a financial asset under SFAS 157 in a market that is not active.  FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued.  The adoption of this statement effective September 30, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Contingencies

The Company accounts for loss contingencies in accordance with SFAS 5,Accounting for Loss Contingencies” and other related guidelines. Set forth below is a description of certain loss contingencies as of December 31, 2008 and management’s opinion as to the likelihood of loss in respect of loss contingency.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and a group of accredited investors (“Securities Purchase Agreement”) on September 10, 2008, the Company was obligated to make efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC for the registration of 6,609, 789 shares of Common Stock offered by selling stockholders to be declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before January 9, 2009. The Company has received an extension of this date to February 20, 2009 from the accredited investors.  If the Company does not timely file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective by the required dates, then each selling shareholder will be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s option, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such selling shareholder for the securities, amounting to approximately $75,000 in the aggregate, and an additional 1% for each month that the Company does not file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective. As provided by such extension, if the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2009, the liquidated damages will be calculated as if the deadline for effectiveness were January 9, 2009, the original deadline under the Registration Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to the selling shareholders, or total liquidated damages of about $750,000.

On February 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Second Waiver and General Release Agreement (the “Waiver”) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated September 10, 2008, among the Company and the investors identified therein.   The Second Waiver extended until May 12, 2009 the deadline to get the registration statement accepted by the SEC, provided that if the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2009, the liquidated damages will be calculated as if the deadline for effectiveness were January 9, 2009, the original deadline under the Registration Rights Agreement. Accordingly, no provision has been made by the Company to the above liquidated damages as of December 31, 2008.

Appropriated Retained Earnings
 
The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on the after-tax net income determined in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC.  Prior to January 1, 2006 the appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital.  Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at 5% to 10% of the after tax net income determined by the Board of Directors.  Effective January 1, 2006, the Company is only required to contribute to one statutory reserve fund at 10% of net income after tax per annum, such contributions not to exceed 50% of the respective companies’ registered capital.
 
The statutory reserve funds are restricted for use to set off against prior period losses, expansion of production and operation or for the increase in the registered capital of the Company.  The statutory public welfare fund is restricted for use in capital expenditures for the collective welfare of employees.  These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances.  These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. During 2008 and 2007, the Company appropriated $368,000 and $343,000 to the reserves funds based on its net income in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC.

11.          STOCK OPTIONS

The Company 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 December 31, 2008, stock options to purchase 660,175 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $0.09 to $2.48 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 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.

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:

$0.47

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:  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 Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.

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 252,524 and 424,431 stock options during 2008 and 2007 with a total fair value of approximately $299,000. The Company recognized $50,000 and $6,000 in stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008, unamortized compensation cost related to stock options was $238,000.

13.           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.

15.           SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On February 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Second Waiver and General Release Agreement (the “Waiver”) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated September 10, 2008, among the Company and the investors identified therein.   The Waiver extended until May 12, 2009 the deadline by which the registration statement that was filed by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement must become effective before the Company is required to pay to the investors liquidated damages, payable in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s option, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors for the securities purchased in the private placement in connection with which the Registration Rights Agreement was executed, and an additional 1% for each month that the Company does not cause it to be declared effective, with maximum liquidated damages of 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.  If the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2009, the liquidated damages will be calculated as if the deadline for effectiveness were January 9, 2009, the original deadline under the Registration Rights Agreement.  A prior Waiver and General Release dated December 30, 2008 had extended the January 9, 2009 deadline to February 20, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of:

SinoHub, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SinoHub, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SinoHub, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ITEM 14.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending an action may be paid by a corporation in advance of the final disposition of an action if the director or officer undertakes to repay the advanced amounts if it is determined such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.  The Company’s Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person, or the person for whom he is the legally representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company, against all liabilities, losses, expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.  The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability. 

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, directors and officers of the Company (and, at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, employees and agents of the Company to the extent that Delaware law permits the Company to provide indemnification to such persons)  in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted under Section 145 of the DGCL, subject only to limits created by applicable Delaware law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company, its stockholders and others. The provision does not affect directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
 
II-1


The Company has entered into agreements with its directors and executive officers, that require the Company to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred (including attorneys’ fees), and advance expenses if requested by such person, in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating, or preparing for any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding or any alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any inquiry, hearing, or investigation (collectively, a “Proceeding”), relating to any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of the indemnification agreement, related to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the Company or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation, or related to anything done or not done by such person in any such capacity, whether or not the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company. Indemnification is prohibited on account of any Proceeding in which judgment is rendered against such persons for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by such persons of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of any federal, state, or local laws. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against liability under the provisions of this section.  The Company currently maintains such insurance.

Settlement by the Company. The right of any person to be indemnified is subject always to the right of the Company by its Board of Directors, in lieu of such indemnity, to settle any such claim, action, suit or proceeding at the expense of the Company by the payment of the amount of such settlement and the costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees as to which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in claims for indemnification.

In June 2006, Liberty Alliance issued 5,714,286 shares of restricted common stock to Lorikeet, Inc., a company controlled by Steven L. White, its principal stockholder and sole officer and director prior to the merger with SinoHub, for $20,000.  

In June 2006, the Company issued 142,858 shares of restricted common stock to a non-affiliate investor for $2,500 and an additional 142,858 shares to another non-affiliate investor for $2,500.  In September of 2006, all of these shares were re-purchased by the Company.

All of the shares issued by Liberty Alliance were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and no commissions were paid relating to any of the securities issued.

Issuances of Company Securities

The following issuances of securities were made by the Company in connection with or subsequent to the Merger:

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, on May 14, 2008, we issued 18,490,000 shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of SinoHub, Inc. (approximately 46 holders).  Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration, in part pursuant to Regulation S and Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and in part pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  We made this determination based on the representations of the stockholders of SinoHub, Inc. that such stockholders were either (a) "accredited investors" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (b) not a "U.S. person" as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Act, and that such stockholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that the entities and individuals understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

Upon the closing of the merger, we also issued 510,000 shares 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, JCGlobal Capital Partners LLC, 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, JCGlobal advised SinoHub International directly in consummating a reverse merger involving Liberty Alliance, a NASD over-the-counter bulletin board shell company.
 
II-3


Between August 6, 2008 and November 19, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 1,900 shares of the Company’s common stock to odd lot holders in order to bring their holdings up to round lots.  The holders were all holders of the shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the Merger but who otherwise had no relationship with the Company.  The sole consideration for the shares was the execution and delivery of lock-up agreements by these stockholders pursuant to which they agreed to lock up their shares until July 18, 2009.  The issuances were completed as a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act consistent with the relevant criteria established in SEC v. Ralston Purina Co., 346 U.S. 119 (1953), and its progeny.  The shares were issued to a total of ten natural persons who acquired the shares for themselves or as trustees or guardians for other entities or persons.

On September 10, 2008, the Company entered into and closed  a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors named therein (“PIPE Investors”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) for an aggregate of (i) 4,406,533 shares of common stock, (ii) three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.15 per share and (iii) five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,101,628 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, which resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $7,491,110.

Global Hunter Securities, LLC (“Global Hunter”) acted as placement agent with respect to the Offering and received a cash fee of $524,378 (equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 308,457 shares of common Stock (equal to 7% of the number of shares of common stock issued in the Offering), with 154,228 shares at an exercise price of $2.15 per share and 154,229 shares at an exercise price of $3.00 per share. In addition, through December 10, 2009, Global Hunter is entitled to (i) serve as lead underwriter or exclusive placement agent to the Company for any equity financing and (ii) serve as exclusive financial advisor and may receive fees in the event of an extraordinary transaction with certain entities introduced to the Company by Global Hunter.

The warrants issued in the Offering may be exercised, at the option of the holder, by cash payment of the exercise price or by “cashless exercise” (in which case the Company will not receive additional proceeds) if after six months from the date of original issuance a registration statement permitting the PIPE Investors to resell the warrant shares is not then effective or the prospectus is not then available for the resale of the warrant shares. The warrants also provide the holder with anti-dilution price protection.

The common stock and warrants described above were offered and sold solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on 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 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.

In October 2008, the Company issued 22,200 shares for services to employees at fair value of $50,000 pursuant to the Company’s 2008 Stock Plan in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 701 promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, to the PIPE Investors no later than October 25, 2008, and to have such registration statement declared effective on or before January 9, 2008.  The Company has received an extension of this date to May 12, 2009 from the PIPE Investors.  If the Company does not timely cause the registration statement to be declared effective by May 12, 2009, then each PIPE Investor will be entitled to liquidated damages, payable in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s option, equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that the Company does not cause the registration statement to be declared effective, with such damages determined as if January 8, 2009 remained the deadline for the effectiveness of the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering.

Except as expressly set forth above, the individuals and entities to which we issued securities as indicated in this section of the registration statement are unaffiliated with us.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
Provided however, that:
 
 
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and
 
 
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.  Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(b) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes, that for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(1) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
II-7

 
(2) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(3) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(4) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

( c) [The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.]

(d)            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in Shenzhen, the People’s Republic of China, on March 16, 2009.

EXHIBIT 10.6.1
 
WAIVER AND GENERAL RELEASE AGREEMENT
 
This Waiver and General Release Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into this 30th day of December, 2008, by and among SinoHub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the investors signatory hereto (each an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors").
 
RECITALS
 
1.           The Company and the Investors entered into that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the "Registration Agreement"), dated September 10, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to cause a Registration Statement (as defined therein) covering resale of the Investors’ registrable securities to become effective within 120 days of the Closing Date.
 
2.           The Company filed the Registration Statement within the time frame set forth in the Registration Agreement and is diligently working with the Securities and Exchange Commission to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective.  However, in the spirit of compromise and to avoid any additional expense that may be caused by claims arising out of any delay in the effective date of the registration statement, the parties have agreed to a 30-day extension of the effective date.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement, agree as follows:
 
AGREEMENT
 
1.           Waiver.  Each Investor hereby waives all rights under the Registration Agreement that relate in any way to the Company’s failure to file the Registration Statement and have it declared effective in a timely manner, including but not limited to all rights to receive cash penalties or additional shares pursuant to Section 7(g) of the Registration Agreement and all rights under Section 2(a) of the Registration Agreement.
 
2.           General Release.  Each Investor, on behalf of their respective predecessors, successors, assignors and assignees, past and present, hereby fully releases and discharges the Company, its directors, officers, agents, representatives, attorneys and employees, past and present, and its predecessors, successors, assignors and assignees from all claims, actions and causes of action, of any kind or nature whatsoever, in law, equity, or otherwise, whether fixed or contingent, whether now known or unknown, whether suspected or unsuspected, which now exist, which existed before the date of this Agreement, or which may exist after the date of this Agreement, relating in any way to the provisions of the Registration Agreement which are referenced in Section 1 above.
 
3.           The Company agrees to continue to work toward getting the Registration Statement effective.  If the Registration Statement is not effective by February 20, 2009, the rights of the Investors waived in Section 1 of this Agreement will automatically be reinstated.
 
 
 

 
 
4.           With respect to this Agreement, the Investors waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent that the law permits, the provisions, rights, and benefits of California Civil Code (S) 1542 and other statutes or common law principles of similar effect.  Investors acknowledge that they have been advised of the provisions of California Civil Code (S) 1542, which provides as follows:
 
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
 
5.           The release set forth above does not release any claims for any breach of this Agreement or any claims that do not specifically pertain to the subjects of this Agreement.
 
6.           This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties.  The parties may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts, each of which constitutes an original, and all of which constitute one and the same Agreement.

8.             Stock Options.
 
(a)        Limitations.
 
(i)         Incentive Stock Option Limit.  Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 8(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
 
(ii)        Number of Shares.  The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Shares subject to an Option granted to any Participant.   Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, for Options intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, during any Fiscal Year, no Participant will be granted an Option covering more than 50,000 Shares.  Notwithstanding the limitation in the previous sentence, for Options intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, in connection with his or her initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted Options covering up to an additional 150,000 Shares.
 
(b)        Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
 
(c)        Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
 
(i)         Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be subject to the following:
 
(A)        In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
 
a)        granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant; or
 
b)        granted to any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
 
 
-7-

 
 
(B)        In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
 
(ii)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.
 
(iii)       Forms of Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration may consist of, without limitation, (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) promissory note, (iv) surrender of other Shares which (x) shall be valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and (y) must be owned free and clear of any liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, and accepting such Shares, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, (v) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
 
(d)        Exercise of Option.
 
(i)         Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
 
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with any applicable withholding taxes).  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 16 of the Plan.
 
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares thereafter available for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(ii)        Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within ninety (90) days of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, to the extent not exercised, the Option expires on the 90th day following the Participant’s termination.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if, on the date of termination, to the extent the Participant is not vested as to his or her Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within ninety (90) days of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
 
(iii)       Disability of Participant.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within six (6) months of termination, or such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, to the extent not exercised, the Option shall expire six (6) months following the Participant’s termination.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if, on the date of termination, to the extent the Participant is not vested as to his or her Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
 
(iv)       Death of Participant.  If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within six (6) months following the Participant’s death, or within such longer period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the Option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator.  If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution.  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, to the extent not exercised, the Option shall expire six (6) months following the Participant’s termination.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if, at the time of death, to the extent the Participant is not vested as to his or her Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(e)        Expiration of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 8(d) also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.
 
(f)        Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount.  Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:
 
(i)         The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times
 
(ii)        The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.
 
At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.

(b)        Restricted Stock Agreement.  Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, for restricted stock intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, during any Fiscal Year no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 50,000 Shares of Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with his or her initial service as an Employee, for restricted stock intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 150,000 Shares of Restricted Stock.  Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
 
(c)        Transferability.  Except as provided in this Section 10, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.
 
(d)        Other Restrictions.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.
 
(e)        Removal of Restrictions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction.  The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.
 
(f)        Voting Rights.  During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.
 
(g)        Dividends and Other Distributions.  During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.  If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

13.          Performance-Based Compensation Under Code Section 162(m).
 
(a)        General.  If the Administrator, in its discretion, decides to grant an Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), the provisions of this Section 13 will control over any contrary provision in the Plan; provided, however, that the Administrator may in its discretion grant Awards that are not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code to such Participants that are based on Performance Goals or other specific criteria or goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 13.
 
(b)        Performance Goals.  The granting and/or vesting of Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units and other incentives under the Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement (“Performance Goals”) including (i) annual revenue, (ii) cash from operations, (iii) earnings per Share, (iv) net income, (v) new orders, (vi) operating cash flow, (vii) operating income, (viii) pro forma net income, (ix) product shipments, (x) profit after taxes, (xi) profit before taxes, (xii) return on assets, (xiii) return on equity, (xiv) return on sales, (xv) revenue, and (xvi) total shareholder return.  Any Performance Goals may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or a business unit of the Company and may be measured relative to a peer group or index.  The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award.  Prior to the Determination Date, the Administrator will determine whether any significant element(s) will be included in or excluded from the calculation of any Performance Goal with respect to any Participant.
 
(c)        Procedures.  To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation provisions of Code Section 162(m), with respect to any Award granted subject to Performance Goals, within the first twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period, but in no event more than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Code Section 162(m)), the Administrator will, in writing, (i) designate one or more Participants to whom an Award will be made, (ii) select the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period, (iii) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (iv) specify the relationship between Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Participant for such Performance Period.  Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Administrator will certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.  In determining the amounts earned by a Participant, the Administrator will have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.  A Participant will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to an Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
 
 
-14-

 
 
(d)        Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Participant and is intended to constitute qualified performance based compensation under Code Section 162(m) will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m)) or any regulations and ruling issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
 
14.          Leaves of Absence.  Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.  A Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company, or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary.  For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract.  If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months and one (1) day following the commencement of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
 
15.          Transferability of Awards.  Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.  If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) to a revocable trust.
 
16.          Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.
 
(a)        Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits set forth in Sections 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
 
 
-15-

 
 
(b)        Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
 
(c)        Merger or Change in Control.  In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation in a merger or Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units, all Performance Goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met.  In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted for in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be fully vested and exercisable for fifteen (15) days, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
 
For the purposes of this Section 16(c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise of which the Administrator determines to pay cash or a Performance Share or Performance Unit which the Administrator can determine to pay in cash, the fair market value of the consideration received in the merger or Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation, the Administrator may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Performance Share or Performance Unit, for each Share subject to such Award (or in the case of Performance Units, the number of implied shares determined by dividing the value of the Performance Units by the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control), to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.
 
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the Successor Corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
 
 
-16-

Re:
SinoHub, Inc.
 
Amendment No. 2 to Registration
 
Statement on Form S-1
 
Filed January 20, 2009
 
File No. 333-154731
 
Dear Mr. Mancuso:
 
This letter responds to certain comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in the letter from the Staff to SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) dated February 4, 2009.

For your convenience, we have included each of the Staff’s comments in italics before each of the Company’s responses.  References in this letter to “we,” “our” or “us” mean the Company or its advisors, as the context may require.

Prospectus Summary, page 1

Staff Comment 1:               Please reconcile your statement in the first paragraph regarding a reverse stock split effected in June 2008 with the statement in your information statement filed June 24, 2008 that the split will occur approximately 20 days after mailing the information statement and that the information statement was to be mailed “on or about” June 27, 2008.

1.  We have revised the statement in the first paragraph to indicate that the reverse stock split became effective on the over-the-counter bulletin board (the “OTCBB”) on July 18, 2008.  As indicated in the information statement, the split was approved by the shareholders by written consent dated as of June 6, 2008 and became effective 20 days after the mailing of the information statement.

Staff Comment 2:               We reissue prior comment 3. Please ensure that your prospectus summary does not include disproportionate emphasis on your supply chain management business relative to its contribution to your revenue. From your disclosure on page 10, it appears that you are primarily a supplier of electronic components.

2.  We have revised the description of the Company’s business on page 24.  With respect to this and the following comment, we note that while supply chain management directly provides only a small portion of the Company’s revenues it also is the primary impetus for customers to purchase electronic components through the Company and accordingly the Company believes that some extended discussion of supply chain management is warranted.

Staff Comment 3:               Likewise, the more detailed description of your business later in your document should not disproportionately represent your supply chain management business. That disclosure should fully describe your electronic components business with all disclosure required by Regulation S-K Item 101 for that business, including specific information regarding which electronic components you sell and how the mix of products has changed during the periods that you are required to describe.

3.  We have revised the description of the Company’s business in the MD&A section on page 14.

Staff Comment 4:               Regarding your response to the seventh bullet of prior comment 15:

 
·
Tell us with specificity where in the agreement the trustee agrees not to encumber the securities without the consent of SinoHub;
 
§
Discuss the conflicts of interest and potential termination of the trust; and
 
§
Identify counsel mentioned in the last paragraph of the risk factor, and file counsel’s consent as an exhibit.

4.  SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen Limited is our wholly-owned subsidiary organized as a wholly-owned foreign enterprise under the laws of the PRC (“SinoHub China”) to facilitate our operations in China.  In order to take advantage of favorable treatment available to enterprises whose registered owners are PRC citizens under certain PRC import/export regulations, SinoHub China organized its wholly-owned subsidiary SinoHub SCM Shenzhen Limited under the laws of PRC (the “China Sub”) and on January 30, 2008 entered into a declaration of trust with Ms. Hantao Cui, a citizen of the PRC, as trustee (the “Trustee”), which provided for the registration of all of the ownership interests of China Sub in the name of Ms. Cui and the retention of all of the beneficial ownership interests in China Sub by the SinoHub China.  While the trustee is the record owner of the shares of China Sub, SinoHub China, as sole beneficial owner of China Sub, retained all rights and interests in China Sub, and the Trustee may only exercise those rights with respect to China Sub that are expressly conveyed to the Trustee in the declaration of trust.  The declaration of trust did not convey to the Trustee any authority to encumber its interest in China Sub.  In general, the Trustee may not undertake any actions under the declaration of trust with respect to China Sub unless it first receives instructions from SinoHub China.

We note that the Trustee is the spouse of Lei Xia, our President.  Based upon the terms and conditions of the declaration of trust, we do not believe that there is any conflict of interest between the Trustee and us or SinoHub China.

We have revised the language in the risk factor relating to the trust as appropriate.  We have stricken the reference to having the opinion of Chinese counsel.

Future Sales of our Securities, page 6

Staff Comment 5:               Please reconcile the date of the expiration of the lock-ups disclosed here with the information your Form 8-K filed May 15, 2008. If you subsequently amended the lock-ups, please tell us which exhibit represents the amendment.

5.  We have revised the disclosure in the registration statement to indicate that the lock-ups expire May 14, 2009.  There was no subsequent amendment of the lock-ups.

History, page 8

Staff Comment 6:               We reissue prior comment 5. This section continues to refer to you as if you were not an “over-the-counter bulletin board shell company” at the time you acquired your operations in China. Please revise to state clearly when you became a company with reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and when the price of your securities began to be reported on the over-the-counter bulletin board relative to when you acquired your operations in China. Likewise, at the bottom of page 11, you refer to “a publicly traded company” as if it were a third party; if you are referring to your acquisition of your current operations through the merger, please say so clearly.

6.  Liberty Alliance, Inc. became a voluntary reporting company under the Exchange Act when it filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form 10 on August 1, 2007.  The price of shares of common stock of Liberty Alliance began to be reported on the OTCBB on November 14, 2007 under the symbol “LBTI.”  After completion of the merger of SinoHub, Inc. into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Alliance on May 20, 2008, Liberty Alliance undertook certain stockholder actions to amend its charter to change the name of the Company to SinoHub, Inc., effect a 3.5-to-1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, and to effect the reporting of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB.  On July 18, 2008, the Company’s name change and reverse stock split became effective, and its common stock began to be reported on the OTCBB under the new stock symbol “SIHI.”

We have revised the disclosure in the “History and Basis of Reporting” section on page 15 to clarify these points.

Business Operations, page 9

Staff Comment 7:               We note your responses to prior comments 3 and 6; however, it remains unclear how the “SCM business” described in the first paragraph of this section differs from the VMI “order procurement” program mentioned in the third paragraph. Also, it is unclear how these programs differ from the spot orders you describe in the fourth paragraph. Please revise for clarity.

7.  We have revised the disclosure in Business Operations section on page 15 to clarify the differences between the various lines of the Company’s business.

Gross Profit, page 10

Staff Comment 8:               With a view toward more complete disclosure, please tell us whether the market for the type of electronic components you sell are experiencing margin trends and how you are responding to those trends.

8.    The technology for the electronic components that are used in mobile phones (approximately 70% of our current business) changes very rapidly, we believe there are no typical margin trends for our business as a whole or for specific components which we sell.  We believe that the margins on components typically fluctuate with the product lifecycles and that these lifecycles, although difficult to predict from a timing standpoint, can be described in terms of their general impact on our business.

We have revised the disclosure in the Gross Profit section on page 17 to provide additional information with respect to margin trends for the electronic components and the Company’s response to such trends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 12

Staff Comment 9:               From your revisions in response to prior comment 9, the following remains unclear:

 
·
the terms on which you “advance money” to your VMI customers as mentioned here and the terms on which you “finance the purchase price” as mentioned on page 24;

 
·
the effect on your liquidity of such transactions;

 
·
the portion of your business that relies on these arrangements; and

 
·
the trends that you have experienced in your cost of capital. Your disclosure that your cost of capital declined does not discuss or explain how you determined your cost of capital or quantify the amount of the decline.

It also remains unclear why you have not included a risk factor to highlight your borrowing to fund VMI projects.

Therefore, we reissue the comment.

9.  We do not advance funds to any of our customers, except with respect to refunds of Value Added Tax for products shipped outside of China, for which we have a dedicated line of credit and minimal risk that the amounts will not be repaid for an extended period of time.  Our “procurement-fulfillment” (previously referred to as “VMI”) customers will furnish us with an order specifying a list of parts and quantities and generally pay a deposit of between 15-20% of the order size.  We coordinate with various suppliers to obtain the parts required to fill the procurement-fulfillment order and we fund these acquisitions from working capital and borrowings under its existing bank lines.  After we have obtained all of the parts in the required quantities to fill a procurement-fulfillment order, we notify the procurement-fulfillment customer and deliver the materials and collect payment from the procurement-fulfillment customer in the ordinary course of business and repay any borrowed amounts from our lenders.  Approximately 35% of our revenues are derived from our procurement-fulfillment business.  Generally, borrowings from our lenders have not exceeded $6,000,000, or 53% of our available capacity.  As a supply chain management service provider, we do not manufacture any of the component products that we supply.  Consequently, the interest expense on borrowings from our lenders is the only cost of capital that we incur.  Currently, the interest rates under our borrowing arrangements with our lenders range from 5% to 6.83%, and our outstanding borrowings of $2,300,000 at February 28, 2009 had a weighted average interest rate of 5.5%.

We have revised the disclosure on page 24 to clarify these points.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities, page 13

Staff Comment 10:               We reissue prior comment 10. It is unclear how your changes address the comment.

10.  We have further revised the disclosure in this section to clarify that the Company takes deposits from customers rather than giving deposits to customers.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities, page 18

Staff Comment 11:               We note your disclosure here that you discontinued your related-party program in the fourth quarter of 2008 because of your “recently” established Hong Kong operations. However, on page 20, you disclose that the Hong Kong corporation, B2B Chips, was incorporated in 2006. Please clarify what you mean by “recently” and, in an appropriate section of your document, explain the reasons for the period between that time and the discontinuation of the related-party program.

     11.
B2B Chips was incorporated in 2006 with an eye toward building a Web based platform for electronic component purchases and sales. It was only in late 2007 that we realized the need to use B2B Chips to take over the functions for which we had used GenNext up until that time. The transition from GenNext to B2B Chips involved re-writing contracts with customers and building banking relationships which took a substantial amount of time.  We used GenNext’s services through the 4th quarter of 2008 while B2B Chips established a bank account in China and have ceased using their services commencing in the first quarter of 2009.  We have revised the disclosure in this section to clarify the points raised by the Commission in their comment.
 
Business Operations, page 18

Staff Comment 12:               Regarding your response to prior comment 13:

 
·
disclose the date that the relevant credit facility with China Construction Bank expires;

 
·
tell us where you filed as exhibits the Hong Feng Paper guarantees;

 
·
disclose why the bank is requiring you to pay the guarantor $80,000; and

 
·
disclose why Hong Feng Paper is guaranteeing your obligations. For example, is Hong Feng Paper related to you? If so, how is Hong Feng Paper related to you?

12.  The term of the trade financing loan with China Construction Bank starts on August 22, 2008, and ends on August 21, 2009.  The Hong Feng Paper guarantee is being filed with Amendment No. 3 as Exhibit 10.24. We have revised the disclosure with respect to the $80,000 fee, and the additional $70,000 fee for a second guarantee referenced in that section to clarify that the fees are a requirement of the guarantor and not the bank.  Hong Feng Paper has agreed to provide the guarantees for the fees listed.  Other than the guarantees and the ownership by a principal of Hong Feng Paper of under 5% of the Company’s common stock, Hong Feng Paper does not have a relationship with the Company.

Staff Comment 13:               We note your response to prior comment 42. Please tell us how you determined that:

 
·
the letter of credit facility filed as exhibit 10.10 is available through May 2009. It appears that from page 1 of exhibit 10.10 that the facility is available through August 21, 2009;

 
·
the letter of credit facility filed as exhibit 10.11 is available through December 2009. It appears from page 1 of exhibit 10.11 that the facility is through September 25, 2009;

 
·
the line of credit is available through December 2009. It appears from section 3 of exhibit 10.12 that the credit line is available through May 11, 2009; and

·
the draws on the line of credit agreement filed as exhibit 10.12 currently bear interest at 7.1%.
      
Also, tell us where you filed as an exhibit the general credit line contract referred to in section I of exhibit 10.11. We note that section 1 states the contract filed is a sub-contract of the general credit line contract.

13.  We have revised the disclosure to conform to the contracts.  The general credit line contract is the revolving line of credit facility filed with Amendment No. 3 as Exhibit 10.12.

Subsidiaries, page 18

Staff Comment 14:               We note from the diagram that you now include SinoHub International, Inc. as a subsidiary; however, you did not include SinoHub International in exhibit 21.1. Please advise or revise. Also, tell us how you determined that SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary as disclosed in exhibit 21.1

14.  The Exhibit 21.1 previously incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement was filed prior to the former SinoHub Inc.’s change of name to SinoHub International, Inc.  We have revised Exhibit 21.1 to reflect SinoHub International, Inc.’s current name and to clarify the relationship of SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. to the Company resulting from the declaration of the trust.  The revised Exhibit 21.1 is filed with Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement.

Staff Comment 15:               We note your response to prior comment 14. Please briefly disclose how the reason for the use of two subsidiaries to conduct the same business in separate geographic areas is driven by the laws of the People’s Republic of China.

15.  It is the Company’s understanding that in China to do business in a city or a tax free zone, one needs to do business through a company that is registered in that city or tax free zone.

Staff Comment 16:               We reissue the fourth bullet of prior comment 15 in part. Please disclose who “considers” SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. your wholly owned subsidiary as a result of the trust.

16.  We have revised this reference to SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, Ltd. to eliminate the statement that it is considered a wholly owned subsidiary.

Staff Comment 17:               We note your response to the fifth bullet of prior comment 15 that a “majority” of the products you sell are imported by SinoHub SCM Shenzhen. Please revise to quantify the “majority” or otherwise provide more specific disclosure.

17.  We have revised the disclosure accordingly.

Staff Comment 18:               We reissue the sixth bullet of prior comment 15. It appears that you did not revise the disclosure to clarify how the trust can be terminated.

 
 

 
Russell Mancuso

18.  We have revised the disclosure to clarify that while the declaration of trust does not expressly provide for the trust’s termination, .SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen, Ltd. has the power to effectively terminate the trust by causing the distribution of the trust’s assets.

Staff Comment 19:               Please disclose your relationship with Hantao Cui. Also provide additional information regarding the trustee so that investors can understand the trustee’s business. For example, is the trustee a lawyer? Is the trustee’s occupation serving as trustee for you and other companies?

19.  As noted in our response to comment 4, Ms. Cui is the spouse of Lei Xia, our President.  We have revised the disclosure to provide additional information with respect to Ms. Cui.  She is neither a professional trustee nor a lawyer.

Staff Comment 20:               Please disclose when each subsidiary obtained its import/export license. Also disclose the material terms of the license, including the duration and termination provisions.

20. We have revised the disclosure to provide the requested information with respect to the import/export licenses.

SinoHub SCM Services, page 23

Staff Comment 21:               We note your response to prior comment 21. Please clarify which services you sell to suppliers and which you sell to manufacturers. Also, expand your Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to discuss separately the results of sales to these different types of customers during the periods presented. For example, does the business from these customers generate different revenue, margins, and trends?

21.  We have revised the disclosure to provide the additional information requested.

Directors and Executive Officers, page 27

Staff Comment 22:               Please state clearly in your table the date that the individuals became directors and executive officers of the registrant. While you should also include disclosure regarding the individuals’ experience with the operations you acquired in China in 2008, you should not imply that the individuals were serving the registrant before the acquisition in 2008 if they were not in fact doing so.

22.  We have revised the disclosure with respect to directors and executive officers to indicate the dates the individuals began in such capacities and to distinguish service with the acquired company from service with the registrant.

Staff Comment 23:               Please reconcile the disclosure that Mr. Xia is the president and Mr. Li is the chief financial officer with section 2 of exhibits 10.21 and 10.23 that require these individuals to serve as chief executive officer.

23.  The titles specified in those exhibits were typographical errors.  The Company has corrected the errors and is filing updated exhibits with Amendment No. 3 to the registration statement.

Summary Compensation Table, page 29

Staff Comment 24:               Please include a row in the table for each individual serving as your principal executive officer during the last completed fiscal year, even if you did not provide compensation to that individual.

24.  We have revised the table to include Steven White, who was principal executive officer of the public shell company prior to the reverse merger.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End, page 29

Staff Comment 25:               We note your disclose in footnote 1 that the board determined the market value was $.19 per share on December 31, 2008. We also note that you disclosed in previous amendment the board determined the market value was $.19 per share at December 31, 2007. Please tell us how the board determined that your shares had the same value on both dates.

25.  The reference to the market value being $.19 per share on December 31, 2008 was a typographical error and has been corrected in the registration statement.  The actual value on that date was $2.35, the closing trading price of the stock on the preceding business day, which was the methodology used by the Board at that time to price stock option grants.  We have revised the disclosure accordingly.

Because the merger of Liberty Alliance and SinoHub that was completed on May 20, 2008 was a reverse merger pursuant to which SinoHub was the accounting acquirer, SinoHub became the successor to all of Liberty Alliance’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the historical financial statements of SinoHub became the historical financial statements of the reporting company as of May 20, 2008.  The value of our outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2008 was based upon the last reported sales price for our common stock in 2008, which was $0.19.  At December 31, 2007, SinoHub’s shares of common stock were not listed on an exchange or reported on any over-the-counter market.  In determining the value of outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2007, our board of directors arbitrarily determined the market value of SinoHub’s common stock based upon available information about SinoHub’s contemporaneously completed issuance of approximately $1.3 million of shares of series C preferred stock in November 2007 and December 2007 at a per share issue price of $0.78 per share.  In consideration of the liquidation and distribution preferences of the Series C preferred stock, its redemption rights, and the contractual registration rights of the holders of the series C preferred shares, our board of directors determined to value the shares of the SinoHub common stock at December 31, 2007 at approximately a 75% discount to the series C preferred stock, or $0.19 per share.

Director Compensation, page 29

Staff Comment 26:                                           Pleas provide the director compensation table required by Regulation S-K Item 402.

26.  We have revised the Registration Statement to provide the required table.

Employment Contracts, page 29

Staff Comment 27:               Regarding your response to prior comment 26:

 
·
tell us, with a view to disclosure, why Messrs. Cochran, Xia and Li are employed by the registrant’s subsidiaries rather than directly by the registrant; and

 
·
provide the disclosure required by Item 402(q)(2) of Regulation S-K. For example, we note section 6 of the employment agreements with Messrs. Cochran, Xia and Li filed as exhibits 10.19, 10.21 and 10.23.

27.  Messrs. Cochran, Xia and Li are employed by the Company’s principal subsidiaries that are located in the areas where they spend most of their time, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Were they to be employed by SinoHub, Inc. in the USA, it would make it very difficult for Mr. Cochran and Mr. Xia (both US citizens) to get Shenzhen resident permits.  In Mr. Li’s case, since he is a Chinese citizen, if he were to be employed by SinoHub, Inc. in the US it might raise potential issues for him, including obtaining the requisite work permits and possible tax liability.

We have added the disclosure required by Item 402(q)(2) of Regulation S-K to the registration statement.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 31

Staff Comment 28:               With a view toward clarified disclosure, please tell us why and how the disclosed numbers of shares were “adjusted for the recapitalization.”

28.  Where shares of common stock were issued by the former SinoHub, Inc. prior to its merger with Liberty Alliance on May 20, 2008 or by Liberty Alliance prior to the July 18, 2008 3.5-to-1 reverse stock split, the number of those shares reported throughout the Form S-1 registration statement have been adjusted to account for the 3.718425 exchange ratio in the merger and the result of the reverse stock split, as applicable, such that the number of shares identified is the actual number of shares of our common stock today.  We have revised the disclosure in the “Prospectus Summary” section on page 1 of the registration statement with a notation at the beginning of the prospectus to clarify that all such historical shares have been so adjusted and have eliminated the parenthetical citations to share numbers being “adjusted for the recapitalization” throughout the document to avoid confusion.

Staff Comment 29:               We note your disclosure on page 28 in response to prior comment 23. Please tell us why this section does not discuss the transactions with Xin Jun Long.

29.  We did not disclose the transactions with Xin Jun Long in this section because Zan Wang, our now-former director, did not have a “direct or indirect material interest” in such transactions within the meaning of Item 404 of Regulation S-K.  While Mr. Wang’s biography, included in the prior versions of the registration statement, described his position with Xin Jun Long as the “general manager” this was a mistranslation.  Mr. Wang’s role with Xin Jun Long was, and is, the equivalent of a director.  In addition, while he is a shareholder of Xin Jun Long, he owns less than 10% of the outstanding equity securities of the company.

Staff Comment 30:               We note your response to prior comment 27. With a view toward clarified disclosure, please tell us why you would issue debt and shares to one individual in consideration for loans from several individuals.

30.  Hantao Cui, the spouse of Lei Xia represented to us that she had acquired all of the loans that we received in December 2001 from their initial lenders.  Ms. Cui forgave all of these loans in exchange for the shares of our common stock that we issued to her in June 2006.

Staff Comment 31:               Please expand your disclosure provided in response to prior comment 28 to clarify when you obtained the bank loan, the amount of the loan, and when the loan must be repaid. Also, from exhibit 10.11, it appears that your chief executive officer also owns the property and that other related parties provided guarantees. Please tell us why those relationships are not disclosed and where the related agreements are filed.

31.  We have revised the disclosure accordingly.  The related party guarantee agreements are being filed as Exhibits 10.27-10.29.

Staff Comment 32:               Please reconcile the disclosure in the paragraph numbered 3 of the issuance of 371,842 shares for the use of a condominium with the reference on page 41 to the issuant of 371,842 shares for services.

32.  We have revised the disclosure on page 41 to indicate that the shares were issued in exchange for allowing use of the condominium as collateral for a bank loan.

Staff Comment 33:               We reissue prior comment 29 in part. It appears that you did not respond to the second bullet.

33.  We have revised the disclosure on page 41 of the Registration Statement to clarify why transactions had to be domiciled in Hong Kong and how GenNext was able to do this in a manner that SinoHub could not.

Staff Comment 34:               Refer to the last bullet point of prior comment 29. Please disclose how the $1,000,000 amount mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the section numbered 4 was determined. Likewise, please clarify how the amount of service fees mentioned in that paragraph was determined.

34.  We have revised the registration statement to disclose how the two amounts were determined.

Staff Comment 35:               Refer to the paragraph numbered 5. Please disclose the principle followed in determining the amount that you would pay the affiliate for B2B Chips. Also disclose the persons making that determination and their relationship to you. If the assets were acquired by the related party within two years prior to their sale to you, state the cost of the assets to the related party.

35.  To clarify, the Company did not “acquire” B2B Chips.  B2B Chips is our indirectly, wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong that acquired SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) Limited.  In connection with the formation of SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) Limited in May 2007 by Henry T. Cochran, our CEO and Chairman, and Lei Xia, our President and a member of our Board of Directors, Messrs. Cochran and Xia made an aggregate capital contribution of approximately HKD 10,000 ($1,290) to SinoHub Technology.  SinoHub Technology never conducted any business and its sole asset at all times was a Hong Kong bank account with a cash balance equal to the initial capital contributions of HKD 10,000 ($1,290),less organizational expenses.  The acquisition of SinoHub Technology by B2B Chips on April 10, 2008, (less than a year after the formation of SinoHub Technology) was a purchase for convenience and the purchase price was fixed by our CFO of the Company, Le De Hai at HKD 10,000 ($1,290), the value of SinoHub Technology’s sole asset, i.e., the cash balance of its bank account and the prior organizational expenses of the company.  A copy of the acquisition agreement with respect to SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong) Limited is being filed with Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement as Exhibit 10.31.

Staff Comment 36:               Please tell us why the acquisition of SinoHub SCM Shanghai mentioned in page 19 is not a related-party transaction that must be described in this section.

36.  We have revised the related transactions section to disclose this acquisition.

Sales by Affiliates, page 34

Staff Comment 37:               Please expand your response to prior comment 33 to:

 
·
clarify how the Form 8-K provided all disclosure required by Form 10 Item 10 for the full period required by Regulation S-K Item 701 as it relates to securities issuances by the operating company; and

 
·
tell us where you provided the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008 that would have been required in a Form 10 filed on May 20, 2008, the date you filed the Form 8-K.

 
 

 
Russell Mancuso
March 16, 2009
Page 13


37.  The Form 8-K filed on May 20, 2008 did not include the disclosures required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K or the financial statements for Liberty Alliance or SinoHub, Inc. for the period ended March 31, 2008.  We have taken and will take the following steps to remedy these disclosure deficiencies:

 
-
The Form S-1 registration statement includes, and we will file an amendment to the Form 8-K which will include, all of the disclosures required by Item 701 of Regulation S-K with respect to SinoHub, Inc. for the four years ending December 31, 2008, thereby covering the three year period of disclosure that was required in the Form 8-K and that will be required in the Form 10-K; and

 
-
The amendment to the Form 8-K will include the financial statements for Liberty Alliance and SinoHub, Inc. for the period ended March 31, 2008, as well as the pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008 required by Regulation S-X.

Selling Stockholders, page 36

Staff Comment 38:               With regard to the offered shares that were not originally required in the September 30, 2008 “PIPE offering,” please disclose when selling stockholders acquired the offered shares. Include the date of the transaction and, the amount of consideration paid. If securities were issued for services, please disclose the nature, amount and duration of the services.

38.  We have added disclosure to the “Selling Stockholders” section on page 49 with respect to the Selling Stockholders who did not participate in the PIPE offering.

Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1

Staff Comment 39:               Please update the financial statements as required by Rule 3-12 of Regulation S-X, as necessary.

39. In Amendment No. 3 we are providing financial statements as of December 31, 2008.  To the extent required by Regulation S-X, we will update the financial statements in subsequent amendments.

Note 10. Stock Options, page F-29

Staff Comment 40:               Please refer to prior comment 38. Although we note the disclosure added, it is not clear why it identifies “preferred stock” issuances in November and December 2007 since the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity on page F-18 presents the equity transaction as the issuance of common stock. Please tell us in detail how these common stock transactions impacted your assessment of the fair value of your common stock used to determine the exercise price of the stock options. Additionally, tell us why the stock options were issued at a discount relative to the November and December 2007 equity transactions.

40.  Because the merger of Liberty Alliance and SinoHub that was completed on May 14, 2008 was a reverse merger pursuant to which SinoHub was the accounting acquirer, SinoHub became the successor to all of Liberty Alliance’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the historical financial statements of SinoHub became the historical financial statements of the reporting company as of May 14, 2008.  The shares of Series C preferred stock issued in November and December 2007 by SinoHub, Inc. were exchanged for shares of common stock of Liberty Alliance in the merger that was completed on May 14, 2008.  As described in our response to comment 25 herein above, the options to purchase common stock of SinoHub issued in December 2007 contemporaneously with the Series C preferred stock were issued with an exercise price fixed at approximately a 75% discount to the purchase price of the preferred stock as determined by the Board of Directors.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 41

Staff Comment 41:               Please expand your response to prior comment 39 to clearly show us how to reconcile the disclosure in this section with the information in your publicly filed Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and to the number of shares that you disclose as currently outstanding.

41.  At December 31, 2008 SinoHub, Inc. had 24,501,989 shares of common stock outstanding.  These shares include the 20,000,190 shares that were outstanding at the conclusion of the reverse 1 for 3.5 split on July 18, 2008 (the odd amount is the result of rounding up) and 4,406,533 shares sold in a private investment in public equity on September 10, 2008. Employee stock grants of 22,200 shares were made on October 29, 2008. From July 29, 2008 to November 19, 2008, SinoHub issued an aggregate of 1,900 shares to investors in the interest of obtaining as many round lot stockholders as possible. In 2008, employees exercised options to purchase 71,166 shares. The total of these figures is 24,501,989 shares.

Staff Comment 42:               Please reconcile your revised disclosure here that you issued 510,000 to the consultants in July 2008 with the disclosure on page 9 that you issued the shares at the May 2008 closing of the merger.

42.  We have revised the disclosure relating to the 510,000 shares in all instances to indicate that the shares were issued upon the closing of the merger on May 14, 2008.

Staff Comment 43:               Please tell us where this section discloses the issuances to the odd lot stockholders mentioned in your information statement filed June 24, 2008. Clearly disclose how those issuances “in consideration for” a lock-up were exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Also, with a view toward disclosure in an appropriate section of your document, please tell us:

 
·
the identity of each person who received shares to increase the investor’s holdings to a round lot;

 
 

 
Russell Mancuso
March 16, 2009
Page 15


 
·
the relationship of that person to you;

 
·
the number of shares issued; and

 
·
the exhibit number of the lock-up agreement.

43.  The issuance of an aggregate of 1,900 shares of our common stock to odd lot holders in May 2008 as the sole consideration for the execution and delivery of lock-up agreements by these stockholders was completed as a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act consistent with the relevant criteria established in SEC v. Ralston Purina Co., 346 U.S. 119 (1953), and its progeny.  All of the shares were issued to ten natural persons who acquired the shares for themselves or as trustees or guardians for other entities or persons.  All of these investors were current stockholders of the Company at the time of issuance who were shareholders of Liberty Alliance prior to the merger but who otherwise had no relationship with the Company.  The names of these investors and the number of shares issued to each investor is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.  A copy of the form of lock-up agreement executed by these investors was Exhibit B of the information statement filed with the Commission on June 24, 2008.  A copy of the form of that lock-up agreement executed by these investors will be filed as exhibit 10.25 to Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement.

Exhibits, page 43

Staff Comment 44:               Please file the acquisition agreements mentioned in your disclosure in response to prior comment 16 regarding the acquisition of SinoHub SCM Shanghai and B2B Chips.

44.  The agreements relating to the acquisition of SinoHub SCM Shanghai and SinoHub Technology (Hong Kong), the latter by B2B Chips, are being filed as Exhibits 10.28 and 10.29 respectively to Amendment No. 3 to the Form S-1 registration statement.


Staff Comment 45:               Please file as an exhibit the agreement to extend the date of effectiveness of the registration statement. We note the disclosure on page 33.

45.  There has been a subsequent extension since Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement was filed superseding the initial extension and a further amendment to the registration rights agreement.  Both extensions and the subsequent amendment are being filed as Exhibits 10.6.1 and 10.6.2 to Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement.  We have updated the disclosure in the Registration Statement accordingly.

Staff Comment 46:               We reissue prior comment 40. Your exhibit index continues to be unclear as to where you filed exhibit 3.1. Likewise, the location of other exhibits, like 10.1 and 10.4 appears to be misidentified in your exhibit index.

 
 

 
Russell Mancuso
March 16, 2009
Page 16


46.   We have updated the exhibit index as appropriate.

Staff Comment 47:               Please expand your response to prior comment 41 to clarify who was the party identified in the previous version of the exhibits you filed. Why is that party no longer identified in the exhibits?

47.  This is the result of an error in translation.  The prior party identified in the translation and in the exhibit index was SinoHub SCM Shenzhen, the Company’s subsidiary which is party to the agreement.  The prior translation translated the Chinese characters in SCM Shenzen’s name instead of using the English version of SCM Shenzen’s name.  The current index and translated exhibit reflect the SCM Shenzen name.

Staff Comment 48:               Please file complete exhibits. For example, we note the missing signature pages in exhibits 10.10 – 10.12.

48.  We are filing complete copies of our current loan agreements as Exhibits 10.10-10.12 to Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 25

Staff Comment 49:               We note your statement that a “control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.” Please revise to state clearly, if true, that your disclosure controls and procedures are designed to proved reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and that your principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
