BEIJING, July 1 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. ("Qiao Xing Mobile" or the "Company") (NYSE: QXM), a domestic manufacturer of mobile handsets in China, today announced its revised financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2008.
After the Company's earnings release on May 12, 2009, Qiao Xing Mobile continued to finalize its full year 2008 financial results and determined that it was necessary to record a non-cash intangible asset impairment charge to write-down the value of its CECT brand due to the Company's strategic shift to focus more on its high-end VEVA brand.
The impairment charge resulted in a RMB22.3 million decrease in the Company's full year net income from the previously reported RMB446.1 million to RMB423.8 million and a RMB0.39 decrease in its diluted earnings per share from RMB7.38 to RMB6.99. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, the impairment charge reduced the Company's net income from RMB56.3 million to RMB34.0 million while diluted earnings per share decreased from RMB0.93 to RMB0.56. The full impact of the impairment charge on the Company's financial statements is set out in the attached statements.
