Qiao Xing Mobile Announces Revised Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter
and the Full Year Ended December 31, 2008

BEIJING, June 30 /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.
