BONSO ELETRONICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS ON RECOVERED SALES AND OPTIMISM ON
ORDERS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2009

HONG KONG, June 22, 2009 (GlobeNewswire) -- Bonso Electronics International,
Inc. (NasdaqGM: BNSO - News) a designer and manufacturer of sensor based and
communications products, today reported on recovered sales and expectation of an
optimistic outlook for the second half of 2009.

"The worldwide economic downturn reduced our sales orders by approximately 50%
in the period from November 2008 to February 2009," said Anthony So, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of Bonso Electronics International Inc. "As a
result, during this period we reduced the number of factory workers by
approximately 50% (from 2,500 to 1,200) and tightened our production cost
control, to reduce our costs during this difficult period.

"Since April 2009, our sales orders received have recovered and we have
increased our production capacity by hiring more than 800 new factory workers.
We believe that the market demand is recovering, and we expect that the orders
for the second half of 2009 will remain strong. Our cash position remains
strong, which positions us to act quickly in response to customer demand and
other growth opportunities."
