EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
We are filing this Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amended Filing” or “Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 (the “Original Filing”) to amend and restate our financial statements and related disclosures for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 as discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying restated financial statements.
 
1.           Background of the Restatement
 
On May 12, 2011, the Company concluded, based on the recommendation of management, that the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s originally filed Form 10-K, and each of the quarterly periods from March 31, 2010 through September 30, 2010 included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) are no longer reliable because they failed to incorporate non-cash charges resulting from required adjustments to certain outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”).
 
An explanation of the errors and their impact on the Company’s financial statements is contained in Note 2 to the financial statements of this report.  The following is a brief summary of the accounting errors:
 
        
(a)
The Company adopted the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force’s Issue No 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s own Stock (“EITF 07-5”), now codified in ASC 815-40, as of January 1, 2009. EITF 07-5 provides guidance as to assessing equity versus liability treatment and classification for equity-linked financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants.  Upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, the Company did not properly assess the impact of certain anti-dilution provisions that existed in certain then-outstanding stock purchase warrants issued in a private placement in 2008 requiring an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company issues common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such exercise price, resulting in equity (versus liability) treatment and classification of such warrants.  Because the reset provision contained in these warrants, expired on September 10, 2009, no change in the Company’s historical financial statements is required with respect to these warrants, and the Company has not restated its historical financial statements to reclassify these warrants as liabilities.
     
 
(b)
In 2010, the Company did not properly assess the impacts of certain non-standard anti-dilution provisions that existed in stock purchase warrants issued in a March 2010 offering requiring an adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company issues common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such exercise price, resulting in equity (versus liability) treatment and classification for the warrants.
 
2.           Restatement of Other Financial Statements
 
In addition to the filing of this Form 10-Q/A Amendment No. 1, we are filing amendments to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010 to restate our unaudited financial statements and related financial information for the periods contained in those reports.  On May 24, 2011 we filed an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K to restate our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
 
 
2

 
 
3.           Internal Control Considerations
 
Management determined that there was a control deficiency in its internal control that constitutes a significant deficiency, as discussed in Part I — Item 4T of the Amended Filing.  A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is defined in Section 210.1-02(4) of Regulation S-X as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company's financial reporting.  For a discussion of management’s consideration of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the significant deficiency identified, see Part I — Item 4T included in this Amended Filing.
 
For the convenience of the reader, this Amended Filing sets forth the Original Filing as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement. The following items have been amended principally as a result of, and to reflect, the restatement:
 
        
Part I — Item 1.  Financial Statements;
     
 
Part I — Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and
     
 
Part I — Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures.
 
In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Amended Filing includes certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of this filing.
 
Except for the items noted above, no other information included in the Original Filings is being amended by this Amended Filing.  The Amended Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing and we have not updated the filing to reflect events occurring subsequently to the Original Filing date other than those associated with the restatement of the Company’s financial statements.  Accordingly, this Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

SINOHUB, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2010


1.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
 
Overview 

SinoHub, Inc. (the “Company”) is an electronics company focused on mobile devices that has prospered by leveraging the information and relationships derived from its original electronic component supply chain management business. The Company built a Web-based platform to make the entire supply chain transparent for its customer participants and attached a database to store information on all imported electronic components, which currently exceeds 50,000 components. Today, the majority of SinoHub’s revenue comes from leveraging this data to sell electronic components, but the Company’s new virtual contract manufacturing division, which produces and sells custom design mobile phones, is growing very rapidly.  SinoHub’s three divisions work together with tight information integration to facilitate the mobile device revolution.
 
SinoHub provides products and services to suppliers and purchasers of electronic components in connection with the manufacture and assembly of electronic products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) and we are engaged in the production and sale of mobile devices (currently custom design mobile phones) overseas. For the three months ended September 30, 2010 approximately 63% of the Company’s revenues were derived from the sale of electronic components and assemblies to contract manufacturers and design houses which are engaged in the manufacture of mobile phones, network equipment and other electronics products in the PRC.  These sales occur either as one-off electronic component sales (roughly 80%) or as procurement-fulfillment projects (about 20%). The Company began offering mobile phones for sale in developing countries in Southeast Asia through its newly formed virtual contract manufacturing division in late 2009, but did not have material revenue from this source in 2009. SinoHub opened its own factory to produce custom design mobile phones in the Boa’an district of Shenzhen, China in April 2010 with six assembly lines. In July, the Company installed four surface mount lines to build motherboards for mobile phones and in October 2010 added two more assembly lines bringing the total number to eight.  Roughly 34% of SinoHub’s revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2010 was derived from selling mobile phones in markets outside of China and from producing motherboards for mobile phones (Printed Circuit Based Assemblies or PCBAs) through its virtual contract manufacturing division. In connection with the supply of such components and products, the Company also provides supply chain management services from which we derived approximately 3% of our revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
 
History and Basis of Reporting

SinoHub, Inc. (formerly known as Liberty Alliance, Inc.) is a Delaware corporation, originally organized in Utah in 1986, and subsequently merged and reorganized as Liberty Alliance, Inc. in Delaware in 1991.  Liberty Alliance, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in 1994 and the filing was closed in 1995.  Liberty Alliance, Inc. remained dormant until 2006 when it began preparing to become a public shell company and seek new business opportunities.  In August 2006 the Company changed its name to Vestige, Inc., and in September 2006 the Company changed its name back to Liberty Alliance, Inc.

In May 2008, Liberty Alliance, Inc., SinoHub Acquisition Corp., known as the Merger Sub, SinoHub, Inc., known as the Acquired Sub, and Steven L. White, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, Inc., entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which the Merger Sub agreed to merge with and into the Acquired Sub, with the Acquired Sub being the surviving corporation.  In connection with the merger, Liberty Alliance, Inc. issued to the stockholders of the Acquired Sub 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s preferred and common stock and the Company assumed options exercisable for additional shares of common stock.  At the closing, Liberty Alliance, Inc. also issued 510,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with the Merger. Immediately following the Merger, the Company had 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and options exercisable for an additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of common stock.  The conclusion of these events was deemed to be a reverse takeover transaction, or “RTO”, after which the original stockholders of the Company held approximately 6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis and the Acquired Sub’s stockholders, including the shares issued to consultants, held approximately 94% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
 
In June 2008, the Company approved a reverse stock split of 1 share for every 3.5 common stock outstanding whereupon outstanding common stock and stock options were adjusted to account for the effects of the reverse stock split.
 
In July 2008, the Company changed its name from Liberty Alliance, Inc. to SinoHub, Inc. and the Acquired Sub changed its name from SinoHub, Inc. to SinoHub International, Inc.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the RTO has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of the Acquired Sub become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities.  Share and per share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split for all periods presented.  In addition, the presentation for all periods includes equity transactions of the Acquired Sub as adjusted for the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The consolidated financial results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010.

Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations and Risks
 
Substantially all of Company's assets are located in the PRC and Hong Kong and the majority of the Company's revenues were derived from customers located in the PRC.  In addition, financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.  The Company mitigates credit risk through procedures that include determination of credit limits, credit approvals, and related monitoring procedures to ensure delinquent receivables are collected.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with a bank with a maturity of less than three months.  Cash amounts held as security for the Company’s bank loans are reported as restricted cash and are not included in 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 and impairment.  Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual values over the assets’ estimated useful lives.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Plant and machinery
5 Years
 
Motor vehicles
5 Years
 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
2 to 5 Years
 
Leasehold improvements
Over the unexpired lease terms
 
 
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company considers various factors, including future cash flows, to determine whether the carrying amount exceeds fair value, and in that case, the asset is written down to fair value.  The Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at September 30, 2010.

Financial Instruments
 
The Company analyzes all financial instruments that may have features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480-10 and ASC Topic 815.  At present, there are no such instruments in the financial statements.  The Company also analyzes registration rights agreements associated with any equity instruments issued to determine if penalties triggered for late filing should be accrued under ASC Topic 825.  At present, there are no registration rights as to which late filing penalties may apply.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 825 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.  Fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments.  As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.
 
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

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

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

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

Balance at September 30
  $ 1,293,000     $ 1,293,000  
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, bank borrowings, and other liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
 
The Company’s operations are primarily based in the PRC, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks and opportunities from fluctuations and the degree of volatility of foreign exchange rates between the United States dollar (“USD”) and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). In July 2005, the PRC allowed the RMB to fluctuate within a narrow range ending its decade-old valuation peg to the USD.  Since this change in 2005, the RMB has experienced positive trends in valuation against the USD; such trends are reflected in part by the foreign currency translation gains reported in the Company’s financial statements.

Derivative Instruments

For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value of these warrants are recognized in earnings each reporting period. For warrants derivative instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as a liability or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted ASC Topic 718.   This Statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost will be recognized over the period during which services are received.  Stock compensation for stock granted to non-employees has been determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and ASC Topic 505-50, as the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured.

Revenue and Cost Recognition
 
The Company reports revenue from supply chain management (SCM), services and electronic components sales (ECP), and virtual contract manufacturing (VCM) businesses. Revenues for supply chain management services are earned from both the SCM and procurement-fulfillment programs and are primarily based on a percentage of inventory value handled for a customer. The Company recognizes revenue from SCM services when the services are provided. Revenues from electronic components sales and VCM businesses are based on quoted prices and are recognized at the time of shipment to customers. Revenues are recognized on the gross amount billed to customers. Sales are recorded net of discounts and allowances. In all cases, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Cost of goods sold in VCM business includes the direct raw material cost, direct labor cost, manufacturing overheads including depreciation of production equipment, rent and local transportation charges consistent with the revenue earned.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740. Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income taxes in the period that included the enactment date.
 
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., SinoHub Electronics Shanghai, Ltd. and Topology Communication Technology (Shenzhen), Ltd. maintain accounting records using RMB as the functional currency.
 
The Company uses USD as its reporting currency.  The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to ASC Topic 830.  The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are HKD and RMB.  Under ASC Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date.  The capital and various reserves are translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.  Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the period.
 
Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated to their functional currencies at the approximate rates of exchange on the dates of transactions.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to the reporting currency at the approximate rates of exchange at that date.  Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the time the asset or liability was acquired.  Exchange gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.
 
 
13

 
 
Comprehensive Income
 
The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from the translation of the financial statements expressed in HKD and RMB to USD is reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.
 
Segments
 
The Company operates in one business segment.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 Receivable (Topic 310) disclosure about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The objective of this guidance is to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The guidance requires an entity to provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. The guidance includes additional disclosure requirements about financing receivables, including: (1) Credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; (2) The aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables; and (3) The nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2010-20 on the financial statements.
 
2.              RESTATEMENT

On May 16, 2011, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K, to report management’s determination that the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2011 (the “2010 Form 10-K”) ,  should no longer be relied upon due to an error in such financial statements with respect to the accounting for 816,670 common stock purchase warrants in connection with its March 2, 2010 private placement (the “2010 Warrants”).  The Company determined that the historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K require restatement to properly record the 2010 Warrants as a derivative liability.
 
 
14

 
 
The Current Report on Form 8-K which the Company filed with the SEC on May 16, 2011 also reported management’s determination that the Company’s financial statements:
 
(i)   for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on May 17, 2010 (the “March 2010 Form 10-Q”);
 
(ii)    for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, filed with the SEC on August 12, 2010 (the “June 2010 Form 10-Q”); and
 
(iii)    for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 filed with the SEC on November 12, 2010 (the “September 2010 Form 10-Q” and, collectively with the March 2010 Form 10-Q and June 2010 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”),
 
should no longer be relied upon due to an error in such financial statements with respect to the accounting for the 2010 Warrants.
 
The Company has performed a complete assessment of its outstanding 2010 Warrants and has concluded that its outstanding 2010 Warrants are within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”), formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-05”), due to the inclusion in the Warrants of a provision requiring an adjustment to the exercise price of the 2010 Warrants in the event the Company issues common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, at a price per share lower than such exercise price.  Accordingly, ASC 815-40, formerly EITF 07-05, which was effective as of January 1, 2009, should have been applied resulting in a reclassification of the warrants as a liability, measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized as part of other income or expense for each reporting period thereafter. Because the reset provision contained in the Company’s warrants issued in 2008 (the “2008 Warrants”) expired on September 10, 2009, no change in the Company’s historical financial statements is required with respect to the 2008 Warrants.
 
On May 24, 2011, the Company filed an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A reflecting the restatement of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 incorporates corrections made in response to the accounting errors described above by restating the Company’s financial statements presented herein for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The corrections to the quarterly information in this amended Form 10-Q/A had no impact on the Company’s previously reported operations or cash flows for the periods being restated.
 
The following tables show the effects of the restatement on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

The gain resulting from the change in fair value of derivative warrant liability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, was incurred at the corporate level (a Delaware corporation).  The Company did not recognize any income tax benefits (expense) associated with the change in fair value in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Therefore, the restatement did not have an effect on the Company’s taxable income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

6.           WARRANT DERIVATIVES

The Warrants issued in connection with the private placement the Company consummated on September 10, 2008 (the “2008 Warrants) and on March 2, 2010 (the “2010 Warrants”) include a reset provision triggered if the Company issues common shares below the exercise price as defined in the respective warrants.  Effective January 1, 2009, the reset provision of these warrants preclude equity accounting treatment under ASC 815 (formerly EITF 07-05).  Accordingly, effective January 1, 2009, the Company was required to reclassify the Warrants at their fair value to liabilities each reporting period under ASC 815-40.  The reset provision in the 2008 Warrants expired on September 10, 2009.
 
At September 30, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s derivative warrants liability was $1,293,000.  The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of the Warrants.  Significant assumptions used at September 30, 2010 were as follows:
 
   
September 30, 2010
 
       
Estimated market value of stock on reporting date (1)
  $ 1.98  
Risk-free interest rate (2)   
    1.17 %
Dividend yield (3)
    0.00 %
Volatility factor  
    131.65 %
Expected life (4)
 
4.4 years
 
 
 
(1)
The estimated market value of the stock on the date of grant/reporting was based on a calculation by management after consideration of price per share received in the private offerings and reported public market prices.
 
 
20

 
 
 
(2)
The risk-free interest rate was determined by management using the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield over the contractual term of the option on date of grant.
     
 
(3)
Management determined the dividend yield to be 0% based upon its expectation that there will not be earnings available to pay dividends in the near term.
     
 
(4)
Expected life is remaining contractual life of the warrants.
 
Changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized in earnings each reporting period.

9.           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Merger and Reverse Stock Split
 
The company’s reverse merger transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company whereby the historical financial statements and operations of the Acquired Sub become the historical financial statements of the Company, with no adjustment of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities. In connection with the reverse merger, the principal stockholder of Liberty Alliance, Inc. contributed 5,203,907 shares of common stock (adjusted for reverse stock split) held by him back to the Company for nil consideration. Following the reverse merger, Liberty Alliance, Inc. issued to the stockholders of the Acquired Sub 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for one for 3.5 reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s common stock comprising 10,282,288 shares of common stock and 6,933,334 shares of Acquired Sub’s preferred stock, of which 3,000,000 were designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 3,000,000 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock), 2,333,334 shares were designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 2,333,334 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock), and 1,600,000 shares were designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (convertible into 1,600,000 shares of Acquired Sub’s common stock).  The Company also assumed options outstanding exercisable for additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of common stock.  At the closing, Liberty Alliance, Inc. also issued 510,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock to certain consultants for services rendered in connection with the Merger. Immediately following the merger, the Company had 20,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding and options exercisable for an additional 489,451 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of common stock. 
 
The financial statements have been prepared as if the reverse merger transaction had occurred retroactively at the beginning of the periods presented. Share and per share amounts reflect the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split for all periods presented.  Accordingly, all of the outstanding shares of the Acquired Sub’s common stock and preferred stock at the completion date of the reverse merger transaction have been exchanged and converted to 18,290,000 shares (as adjusted for reverse stock split) of the Company’s common stock for all periods presented. In addition, the presentation for all periods includes equity share transactions of the Acquired Sub as adjusted for the effects of the recapitalization and reverse stock split.  All costs associated with the transaction were expensed as incurred.
 
Equity Share Transactions

On January 19, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Stock Plan, the Company authorized the grant to three executive officers of an aggregate of 58,625 shares of Common Stock vesting with respect to 100% of the aggregate number of shares granted on December 31, 2010.
 
In March 2010, certain employees exercised their stock options to purchase an aggregate of 31,452 shares of common stock.
 
In March 2010, the Company entered into and closed a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors in a private offering for shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock.  The Company issued 1,633,334 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) and five and one-half-year warrants to purchase 816,670 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $3.25 per share, in return for gross proceeds of approximately $4.9 million in cash.  During the first quarter of 2010, net offering proceeds of approximately $4.5 million were recorded as an addition to stockholders’ equity, after deducting offering and related closing costs of the transaction.
 
On June 4, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2008 Stock Plan, the Company authorized the grant to an executive officer of an aggregate of 14,706 shares of Common Stock at a fair value of $40,028 with the shares vesting in full immediately upon grant.

On June 7, 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share to 3 consultants for investor relations consulting services rendered at fair value of $149,025. The fair market value of the warrant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as required by ASC Topic 718 with the following assumptions and estimates: expected dividend 0%, volatility 98%, a risk-free rate of 2.5% and a contractual life of 2 years.
 
 
23

 
 
During the second quarter of 2010, certain employees exercised their stock options to purchase an aggregate of 149,910 shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $21,668.

10.           STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has granted qualified stock options under the Company’s 2000 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2000 ISOP”) and 2008 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2008 ISOP”).  At September 30, 2010, stock options to purchase 1,127,304 shares of common stock at an exercise price ranging from $0.10 to $4.36 per share were outstanding.  Prior to becoming publicly traded, the exercise prices were determined by the Board at the time of grant.  In each such case the exercise price was not less than the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the Board in good faith taking into account such factors as recent issuances of preferred stock with an appropriate discount factored in relative to the common shares.  The exercise prices for options issued under the 2000 ISOP following the sale of preferred stock by the Company during November and December of 2007 represent a discount to the issuance price of $0.78 for such preferred stock taking into account the added value of the conditions in the preferred stock (for example, it was redeemable with 10% appreciation).  The exercise prices for options issued under the 2008 ISOP represent the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day preceding the grant date.  The stock options granted become exercisable (“vested”) as to 25% of the original number of shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and as to an additional 6.25% of the original number of shares at the end of each successive three-month period following the first anniversary of the grant date until the fourth anniversary of the grant date.  Unless earlier terminated, these stock options granted shall expire ten years after the grant date.  Following the reverse merger, all shares of preferred stock which were convertible on the basis of one share of preferred stock for one share of common stock issued were exchanged for common stock of Liberty Alliance, Inc. retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

The 2008 ISOP

83% - 121%
0%
2.50%
$0.47 - $2.79

 
Expected Volatility: Expected volatility is computed based on the standard deviation of the continuously compounded rate of return of days when the stock price changed over the historical period of the expected life of the options.
 
Dividend Yield: The expected dividend yield is zero.  The Company has not paid a dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Risk Free Rate: Risk-free interest rate of 2.5% was used.  The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury interest rates at the time of the grant whose term is consistent with expected life of the stock options.
 
Expected Life:  Because the Company has no historical share option exercise experience to estimate future exercise patterns, the expected life was determined using the simplified method as these awards meet the definition of "plain-vanilla" options under the rules prescribed by ASC Topic 718.
 
Stock compensation expense was recognized based on awards expected to vest.  There was no estimated forfeiture as the Company has a short history of issuing options. ASC Topic 718 requires forfeiture to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
 
The Company granted stock options to purchase an aggregate of 109,290 shares of common stocks in the third quarter of 2010 at an exercise price of $2.63 per share.

11.        RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 2010 and 2009, a PRC property owned by a director and his spouse is pledged to a bank to secure banking facilities for the Company.
 
In 2010 and 2009, a director and his spouse have provided guarantees to a bank for banking facilities in the amount of $4,400,000 extended to the Company.
 
In 2010 and 2009, an executive officer has provided unlimited personal guaranty to two banks for banking facilities for the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000.
 
 
12.         INCOME TAXES
 
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on an “entity” basis that is, on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.  It is management's intention to reinvest all the income earned by the Company’s subsidiaries outside of the US.  Accordingly, no US federal income taxes have been provided on earnings of foreign based subsidiaries.
The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, SinoHub International, Inc. are incorporated in the United States and have incurred operating losses since inception.  Management believes the realization of tax benefits from these operating loss carry forwards is uncertain due to the Company’s current operating history and continuing losses in the US for tax purposes.  Accordingly, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax benefit has been recorded.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a statutory rate of 16.5%.  No provision for Hong Kong profits tax was required as these entities incurred losses during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.  There are no tax loss carry forward provisions in Hong Kong.
 
The Company’s subsidiaries in China were subject to China income tax at a statutory rate of 25% in 2010 and 2009.  However, these subsidiaries are located in special economic regions and/or qualify as “new or high-technology enterprises” that are allowed special tax reductions until 2010. The Company’s subsidiaries in China were subject to a special tax rate of 22% in 2010 and 20% in 2009.

Item 2.  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 the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q/A and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2010.  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A represent our views as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report on Form 10-Q/A.   All amounts are expressed in United States dollars. 
 

 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
 
Overall Results
 
SinoHub reports net sales on the basis of three business categories, supply chain management services (SCM), electronic component purchasing (ECP), and virtual contract manufacturing (VCM). The Company reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $6.0 million compared to $3.5 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 71%.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $12.9 million compared to $8.7 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 48%.  Net margins increased to 10.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 9.8% in the prior year period.  Net margins were 9.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 10.2% in the prior year period, primarily the result of greater expenses incurred in the first and second quarters of 2010 associated with startup expenditures for our factory.

Net Sales
 
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $55.8 million, up 54.1% from $36.2 million in the year-earlier period.  Net sales increased in the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to continued strong revenue growth in the VCM business, which produced $19.0 million in net sales.  Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $138.2 million, up 61.4% from $85.6 million in the prior year period.  The Company reports net sales on the basis of three business categories, supply chain management services (SCM), electronic component purchasing (ECP), and virtual contract manufacturing (VCM).
 
In the three months ended September 30, 2010, net sales of supply chain management (SCM) services decreased to $1.5 million from $1.9 million in the year-earlier period due to the Company’s strategy to replace manufacturer customers with design house customers. There are three reasons for this shift in focus: 1) the volume from the design house customers we are courting is substantially larger than the volume of the manufacturers they will replace, 2) design house customers have a higher probability of becoming ECP customers and 3) we can use design house customers as suppliers in our VCM business.  Net sales of SCM services for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $4.8 million, a decrease of 19.1% from net sales of $5.9 million in the prior year period, due in part to the Company’s greater focus on design house customers and lower percentage fees applicable to certain customers with higher volumes.  In the three months ended September 30, 2010, net sales of electronic components increased 2.9% to $35.3 million from $34.3 million in the year-earlier period.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, ECP net sales increased to $94.7 million from $79.7 million in the prior year period due to new customer additions and higher volumes among existing customers.  In the three months ended September 30, 2010, net sales in the VCM business were $19.0 million, an increase of 42.9% from the $13.3 million recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Year-to-date, the Company generated $38.7 million of net sales in its VCM business due to significant demand for mobile phones in developing countries (there was no significant VCM business in 2009).
 
Gross Profit

The Company recorded gross profit of $10.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $6.4 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 58.1%.  The gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased to 18.3% from 17.8% in the year-earlier period.  The reason for the increase in overall gross margin in the third quarter was the substantially higher gross margin in the ECP business, which was 15.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 13.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2009, reflecting a number of shortage opportunities which occurred during the quarter. Gross margins from our SCM business were 97.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to 90% in the prior year period.  Our new VCM business experienced a 17.2% gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  We expect VCM gross margins to remain in the high teens in the future even if we sell a larger percentage of low end handsets because as our volume grows the low margin contract PCBA manufacturing business will become a smaller percentage of our revenue as we dedicate a greater portion of our SMT lines to producing motherboards for handsets we manufacture.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 2010 totaled $24.9 million, an increase of 55.6% over $16.0 million in 2009.  The gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2010 was 18.0% compared to 18.7% in the same period last year. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower contribution from the higher-margin SCM business. The gross profit margin for the first nine months of 2010 in our ECP business was 14.0% as compared to 13.1% in the prior year period.  In the first nine months of operation in 2010, the VCM business generated margins of 17.8%. Management expects VCM gross margins to be in the high teens, driven by a positive mix shift from selling more higher-margin handsets.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $1.6 million in the year-earlier period based on increased business volume and expenditures associated with our factory.  These expenses were 3.8% of revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 4.4% in the year-earlier period. For the nine months ended September 20, 2010, selling, general and administrative costs were $6.3 million up from $3.6 million in the prior year period, due mainly to increased business volume and expenditures associated with our factory.  These expenses were 4.5% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 4.2% in the prior year period.  Costs were tightly controlled despite the build up to over 1,000 employees with over 800 in our new manufacturing facility at September 30, 2010.  Also, most of the new factory renovation costs which were expensed were booked in the second quarter.
 
Income from Operations

The Company recorded income from operations of $7.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $4.7 million in the year-earlier period, an increase of 59.0%.  Operating margins were 13.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 13.0% for the prior year period.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, income from operations was $16.4 million, up 43.6% from $11.4 million in the prior year period. Operating margins were 11.8% for the first nine months of 2010 compared to 13.3% for the prior year period.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $1.1 million in the year-earlier period.  The accrual for income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to 26% of net income as compared to 24% in the prior year period.  Income tax estimates in interim periods have varied as the Company has adjusted provisions and accruals in light of actual tax filings.  The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $2.6 million in the year-earlier period.  The accrual for income tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to 27% of net income as compared to 23% in the prior year period.

Foreign Currency Translation Gain and Comprehensive Net Income

The Company recorded foreign currency translation gains of $909,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2010, as compared with $31,000 in the year-earlier period.  Comprehensive net income (net income plus foreign currency translation gains) was $6.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $3.6 million in the year-earlier period.  The Company recorded foreign currency translation gains of $1,017,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared with $63,000 in the year-earlier period.  Comprehensive net income (net income plus foreign currency translation gains) was $13.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared with $8.8 million in the year-earlier period.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s strategic plans include continued expansion and support of our SCM Platform (consisting of SinoHub SCM, key service centers in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Shanghai, and a supply chain management service team providing real time support), growth in our electronic component and mobile device sales businesses, including growth of our VCM business, investment in inventory for both procurement-fulfillment and VCM orders, and investment in the manufacturing facility for our VCM business.  As a result of the working capital investments necessary to support these plans, the Company will continue to require cash and financing resources to meet and exceed its objectives. The Company’s cost of capital with China Construction Bank, Industrial Bank, Hangzhou Bank, Jiangsu Bank and the Shenzhen branch of the Ningbo Bank was approximately 3.67% at September 30, 2010.  Chinese banks to date have not been affected by the global credit crisis nearly as much as the US and European banks although the credit available through banks in China could be affected by Chinese monetary policies.
 
Although there can be no assurance, we believe SinoHub’s new VCM business can grow rapidly with the addition of more Surface-mount technology (SMT) lines and assembly lines in our manufacturing facility and with additional inventory.  Additional working capital would enable us to purchase more electronic components from our suppliers, which we expect would lower our costs, and thus enhance our profitability.  We believe increased volume would also likely better position the Company to negotiate payment terms from suppliers (in lieu of the C.O.D. basis on which we currently pay most of our suppliers) which would further reduce our need for additional financing from third parties.  Accordingly, if SinoHub is successful in raising additional working capital, management believes that such capital can be utilized to generate positive revenue growth in the near term.
 
Due to the risk factors described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds necessary to carry out management’s plans for the future on acceptable terms or at all.  Our ability to obtain additional capital will also depend on market conditions, national and global economies and other factors beyond our control.  We cannot be sure that we will be able to implement or capitalize on various financing alternatives.  The terms of any funding that we may obtain in the future may be unfavorable to us and to our stockholders.
 
At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.4 million and $8.3 million, respectively.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities was $4.7 million, the net amount of cash used in investing activities was $6.5 million, and the net amount of cash provided by financing activities was $8.1 million.
 
The Company must generally pay the purchase price of electronic components for spot buyers and procurement-fulfillment customers and then recoup the purchase price from the customer after delivery.  We purchase only standard components which are readily saleable.  To date we have not had any collection problems with any procurement-fulfillment project funded.  The Company’s borrowings vary based on the timing of procurement-fulfillment projects, large spot component sales, use of our VAT import line and use of our export reimbursement line.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The net amount of cash used in the Company’s operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $4.7 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 47%, as compared to the prior year period.  The $4.7 million primarily included earnings from operations ($11.9 million) and reduction in inventory ($3.2 million) that were offset by the increase in accounts receivable ($16.6 million) and deposit with suppliers ($4.6 million) during the period.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the net amount of cash used in investing activities was $6.5 million, an increase of approximately $2.4 million, or 55%, as compared to the prior year period.  The $6.5 million is attributable equally to investments in property and equipment for the Company’s new factory as well as increase of restricted cash.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the net amount of cash generated by financing activities was $8.1 million, a decrease of approximately $.02 million, or 2.4%, as compared to the prior year period.  The $8.1 million consists primarily of the short term bank borrowings (net $4.2 million) as well as proceeds from equity offerings (net $4.5 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

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


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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


Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

On May 11, 2011, we became aware that we had failed to recognize warrant derivative liability with respect to our outstanding warrants issued in private placements in September 2008 and March 2010 and the subsequent re-measurement of fair value of the warrants derivative, as required by Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”), formerly Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-05, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF 07-05”).  The error had a significant effect on our previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for each of the quarters for the year ended December 31, 2010 requiring us to restate the financial statements for such periods.  Because ASC 815-40 only applies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the provision of the warrants issued in the 2008 private placement requiring the recognition of warrant derivative liability terminated on September 10, 2009 we have determined that we are not required to restate our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 or any of the quarters for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, and taking the matters described above into account, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2010 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  In light of the matters described above with respect to recognizing warrant liability, the Company intends to re-evaluate its internal control over financial reporting and to implement such changes as it may deem appropriate in light of such re-evaluation.
 
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
