Qiao Xing Universal Resources Announces Consolidated 2010 Financial Results

HUIZHOU, China, May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: XING) ("XING" or the "Company"), a leading company in the molybdenum mining business as well as a company with substantial assets in the resources industry, today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

"Our mining operations grew significantly in 2010 as our mining operations began to contribute significantly to our financial results. Furthermore, we completed two additional mine acquisitions at the end of 2010 and these two operational and producing mines will contribute substantially in 2011," stated Mr. Ruilin Wu, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "As seen by the impressive rise in revenue and net income in 2010, we are continuing to implement our strategy of becoming a pure-play resources company even as we work to finalize our options as relates to our remaining telecommunications business."

In fiscal 2010, the Company generated strong results from its mining business with revenues of RMB300.4 million (US$45.5 million), compared to RMB193.9 million in fiscal 2009, and net income in fiscal 2010 of RMB 90.6 million (US$13.7 million) compared to RMB64.2 million in fiscal 2009. This represents an increase in mining revenues and net income of 55% and 41%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Company's 56% owned subsidiary, Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. ("QXM"), strategically contracted its mobile phone business due to an unfavorable competition environment so as to limit its operating losses as it assesses its corporate options.  Due to the operating losses attributable to its QXM subsidiary, the Company recorded a net loss of RMB 57.3 million (US$8.7 million) on a consolidated basis, compared to a consolidated net loss of RMB 259.9 million in 2009. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and equivalents of RMB 3,178.1 million (US$481.5 million) on its consolidated balance sheet.

During the past year, the Company completed two acquisitions: (1) The acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Balinzuo Banner Xinyuan Mining Co., Ltd. ("Xinyuan"), which owns a mine with estimated ore reserves of 9,749,000 tons which primarily contains lead, zinc and copper, and; (2) the acquisition of a 34.53% equity interest in Chifeng Aolunhua Mining Co., Ltd. ("Aolunhua"). Aolunhua owns a copper-molybdenum mine with reserves of 372.9 million tons of ore that contains molybdenum metal, copper and silver. XING recently completed all of its financial purchase obligations for these two mining assets. The Company also owns the right to receive the expected residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Limited ("Haozhou") with estimated proven reserves of 30,985 tons of molybdenum metal (at an average grade of 0.40%) and reserves of other minerals.  With available current cash on hand and operating cash flow to be generated by its diversified mining assets, the Company believes that it is well positioned to optimize the operation of its mining business as well to increase its presence in the resources industry in 2011 and beyond.

XING is continuing to assess the various alternatives available to it in terms of divesting of its QXM subsidiary.  The Company will seek to announce its strategy as to QXM concurrent with its filing of its Form 20-F in June 2011. The Company's strategic plan is to optimize the operation of its mining assets, acquire future high potential mining assets and to become a pure resources company.  The Company believes that its state-of-the-art mining operations, its management expertise and its acquisitions strategy will enable it to generate a high return on its assets as it seeks to maximize value for shareholders.

Unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, as well as unaudited statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

About Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc.

Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. is a leading player in the molybdenum mining industry with substantial assets in the resources industry. XING focuses on mining and processing rare metal ores and several strategically important base-metal ores, including molybdenum, copper lead and zinc. XING currently owns a 100% equity interest in Balinzuo Banner Xinyuan Mining Co., Ltd. and a 34.53% equity interest in Chifeng Aolunhua Mining Co., Ltd, as well as the right to receive 100% of the expected economic residual returns from Chifeng Haozhou Mining Co., Ltd.

XING was one of the first Chinese companies to be listed on NASDAQ (in 1999) as one of the leading players in the telecommunication-terminal product business in China. In 2007, XING made the strategic decision to diversify into the resources industry. Since then, XING has made several acquisitions in the resources industry and divested its fixed-line and budget mobile phone businesses.  To reflect this change, XING changed its corporate name to Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc., effective January 28, 2010.

XING is well positioned to optimize the operation of its mining business as well to increase its presence in the resources industry in 2011 and beyond. XING will continue to seek opportunities to acquire future high potential mining assets. At the same time, XING is also working to divest its remaining mobile-phone business to become a pure-play resources company.
