Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (XING) Reports First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

HUIZHOU, China — Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: XING) (“the Company” or “XING”), an emerging Chinese resources company headquartered in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, today announced its unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

    First Quarter Highlights
    -- The Company reported net income of RMB73.0 million (US$10.7 million),
       or RMB0.81 (US$0.12) per basic share, compared to a net loss of RMB21.5
       million or RMB0.69 per basic share in the first quarter of 2009.

    -- Net sales were RMB195.4 million (US$28.6 million) compared to RMB460.8
       million in the first quarter of 2009.

    -- Gross profit was RMB27.4 million (US$4.0 million) compared to RMB82.3
       million in the first quarter of 2009. Gross margin was 14.1% compared
       to 17.9% in the first quarter of 2009.

    Financial Review of Operations for the Molybdenum Mine Business
    -- Consolidated revenue from the mining business for the first quarter of
       2010 totaled RMB58.0 million (US$8.5 million). Gross profit was RMB26.5
       million (US$3.9 million), resulting in gross margin of 45.7%. Net
       income totaled RMB17.9 million (US$2.6 million) in the first quarter of
       2010, a decrease of 47.3% from the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily
       due to seasonal factors related to the long Chinese New Year holiday
       in February 2010, when most mining businesses in North China shut down
       operations

    -- Molybdenum concentrate production in the first quarter of 2010 was
       620.3 tons, equivalent to 298.1 tons (0.66 million pounds) of
       molybdenum metal.

    -- Average cost of sales per ton of molybdenum metal produced in the first
       quarter of 2010 was RMB105,647 (US$15,478), or RMB47.91 (US$7.02) per
       pound. Average cash cost of sales per ton of molybdenum metal produced
       in the first quarter of 2010 was RMB66,004 (US$9,670), or RMB29.93
       (US$4.38) per pound  (The Company produces molybdenum concentrate and
       does not engage in smelting operations, so the cash cost does not
       include the cost of smelting.)

    -- Capital expenditures for the mining business in the first quarter of
       2010 totaled RMB33.6 million (US$4.9 million). These capital
       expenditures were all used for the construction of the mine.

Financial Conditions

As of March 31, 2010, XING and its subsidiary held $554.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $515.9 million in working capital. Shareholders’ equity was $643.3 million as of March 31, 2010.

Upcoming Events

The Company is close to coming up with a proposal on sorting out its relationship with its subsidiary Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. (NYSE: QXM) and expects to announce the proposal once it is approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company will release its earnings results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 by September 15. The Company expects that earnings from its mining business in the second quarter will be better than the first quarter.
