Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. Releases 2008 Unaudited First Half Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Balance Sheet

The Company previously only released its operating results for the second quarter because a third party valuation was being conducted for the purpose of accounting for the $70 million convertible notes issued by one of its subsidiaries in May 2008. The valuation was just completed and the Company is reporting its unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and condensed consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2008.

Net profit before extraordinary item for the six months was RMB53.9 million (US$7.6 million). This represents a 93% decrease from the first half of 2007. This was mainly due to the decrease of non-operating income and sales.

In the first half of 2007, one subsidiary of the Company, Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. ("QXM"), conducted an initial public offer ("IPO") on the New York Stock Exchange. The company recognized RMB733.7 million non- operating gains during the IPO and conversion of XING convertible notes by note holders to shares of QXM thereafter. The net non-operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was RMB11.9 million, compared to RMB524.0 million in the same period of 2007, represents a decrease of RMB512.1 million.

Compared to the first half of 2007, net sales decreased 32.6%, from RMB1,857.6 million to RMB1,251.9 million. This leads to a decrease of 47.1% in income from operation.

Basic earnings per share of common stock before and after extraordinary gain were both RMB1.51 (US$ 0.21).
