SinoHub Secures Additional Phone Orders from HT Mobile

SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- SinoHub, Inc. (NYSE Amex: SIHI), a rapidly-growing electronics company in the People's Republic of China, engaged in electronic component sales (ECP), private label, custom design mobile phone manufacturing and sales (VCM), and supply chain management (SCM) services, announced today that it has received initial orders for two new 2.75G phone models from HT Mobile, with shipments to commence in December 2010. HT Mobile has given indications to SinoHub that it anticipates ordering between 200,000 and 300,000 units of each model from during 2011.

"We are delighted to secure additional phone orders from HT Mobile, a leading distributor in Indonesia and a highly valued customer to whom we have shipped approximately 300,000 handsets to date," said Harry Cochran, CEO of SinoHub. "These orders incorporate our joint design process, which enables our customers' to leverage their knowledge of local markets with innovations from leading design houses in China to achieve specifications for mobile phones that create sustainable competitive advantages.  HT Mobile sells over 6 million mobile phones per year in Indonesia and has communicated their intention to produce a significant portion of their 2011 volume with SinoHub using our joint design model. These anticipated orders along with indications for additional models, give us confidence we will produce over 1 million phones for HT Mobile during 2011, which will be roughly equal to our entire production for all customers during 2010."

Currently, most suppliers of mobile phones in China only focus on a customer's immediate needs. In a highly competitive and dynamic market, most phone distributors are seeking long-term, stable and effective product strategy collaboration with their suppliers. SinoHub's business model leverages four primary competitive advantages: online reference designs from which customers can pick a starting point and a joint design process to produce a winning specification; deep relationships with over 20 of China's leading design houses to continually update the collection of online reference designs; the ability to manufacture limited production runs of customized phones; and an automated, transparent supply chain management system that allows customers to track the entire design, production and delivery process on a real-time basis.

SinoHub's joint design model, which it employs with HT Mobile and other customers, has been embraced for its transparency, flexibility and effectiveness. By providing customers with the ability to review more than 200 different reference designs online from over 20 leading Chinese design houses and then customize the handset specification, SinoHub believes that it gives distributors and carriers the ability to deliver mobile phones with competitive advantages that better fit the requirements of their local markets and therefore have longer model lives.

"We have built an efficient and flexible platform for mobile phone production, which leverages both our core ECM and SCM business units. We believe our differentiated model provides a foundation for SinoHub to substantially deepen its relationships with existing customers, as evidenced by these orders from HT Mobile, while securing new relationships with large mobile phone distributors in emerging markets. Furthermore, we currently have the capacity to produce approximately 3.2 million phones annually and expect to fulfill larger orders, including smartphones, for existing and new customers during 2011," said Lei Xia, President of SinoHub.
