(Nasdaq: XING, or "XING") stating as follows:
The Special Committee (the "Special Committee") of the board of directors
of Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd ("QXM") wishes to provide you with
an update with respect to the status of its response to the offer of Qiao Xing
Universal Resources, Inc ("XING") to acquire all of the outstanding shares of
QXM that it does not currently own (the "Minority Shares"), by way of a Scheme
of Arrangement under British Virgin Islands law (the "Proposed Offer"). The
Special Committee is continuing its process to evaluate the Proposed Offer
with the assistance of its advisors and, as you may be aware, has requested
additional information from both QXM and XING. The Special Committee will
respond to the Proposed Offer as soon as is practicable. However, the Special
Committee will not have completed its work in time to meet the September 22,
2010 response deadline that XING has imposed. Please be assured that the
Special Committee is working carefully and diligently with its advisors to
evaluate the Proposed Offer in a manner consistent with the best interests of
QXM and the holders of the Minority Shares.
In this regard, the Special Committee has received, and is considering,
communications from several institutional shareholders of QXM in which such
shareholders have indicated that they did not believe the Proposed Offer was
sufficient and that they did not support the Proposed Offer, noting among
other things that as of June 30, 2010 both the net asset value per share, and
the cash value per share, of QXM was substantially in excess of the value per
share of QXM represented by the Proposed Offer. This information is relevant.
We have provided copies of such communications to XING for XING's information
and consideration.
