SinoHub Receives New Bank Line for More than $6 Million from Shenzhen Branch of Hangzhou Bank

May 7, 2009

SANTA CLARA, Calif., and SHENZHEN, China, May 7 /PRNewswire-Asia/ –
SinoHub, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SIHI), which conducts substantially all of
its operations in the People’s Republic of China through its wholly-owned
subsidiary SinoHub Electronics Shenzhen Limited, today announced that its
SinoHub SCM Shenzhen Limited unit has closed a new $6.4 million bank line with
the Shenzhen branch of the Hangzhou Bank.

The full amount of the line, if available, may be used to obtain Letters
of Credit (LCs) and up to $1.46 million of the line may be used as a revolving
cash line. There is a 20% cash deposit requirement on LCs. Under the terms of
the agreement, Hangzhou Bank will issue LCs to SinoHub SCM Shenzhen for terms
up to 120 days. Interest on the cash line will be at least 1.1 times the base
deposit interest rate as announced by the People’s Bank of China, which is
currently 4.12%. The bank line expires on April 6, 2010.

The company said it will use the funds for continued expansion of its
electronic component procurement-fulfillment and component sales business
lines in China. Already a technology leader in the rapidly growing field of
electronic component supply chain management (SCM) services in China
(import/export, warehousing, logistics and other related services), SinoHub is
leveraging the relationships it has with electronic component suppliers,
design houses and manufacturers that use its SCM services to gain ground in
the procurement-fulfillment and component sales businesses.

“We are experiencing increasing demand in our procurement-fulfillment and
component sales business lines so we expect to be able to put these new funds
to work in short order,” said Harry Cochran, chief executive officer of
SinoHub. “We are pleased that Hangzhou Bank has decided to back SinoHub, and
we are honored to be the first major loan recipient from their new Shenzhen
branch.”

“SinoHub’s business model and the strong platform they have built to
support it are unique in China,” said Ren Xia Guang, director of the Shenzhen
branch of the Hangzhou Bank. “We are delighted to add a company with such
great potential to our growing portfolio of commercial customers.”

“This commitment from Hangzhou Bank is a testament to the solid financial
condition of our company, and shows great confidence in our ability to
generate strong results, even in a year which is proving difficult for many
other companies,” said De Hai Li, SinoHub’s CFO. “We are pleased to be working
with Hangzhou bank and look forward to a long and mutually rewarding
relationship.”
