for the Second Quarter 2006, Planned Acquisition of Remaining 20% Equity

Interest of Qiao Xing Mobile Communication, and Positive Sales Momentum for

Operating Data

Qiao Xing Universal Telephone’s sales and operating income increased

15.6% and 518% respectively in the second quarter versus the first quarter of

2006. The significant increase in operating income is primarily due to the

lack of stock based compensation in the second quarter. Stripping out stock

option grants, operating income increased 38% primarily on improved gross

profit margins.

Acquisition

In addition to the increase in operating performance, Qiao Xing Universal

Telephone herein announces an acquisition from the minority shareholder the

remaining 20% equity interest of Qiao Xing Mobile Communication, or QXMC, a

British Virgin Islands company that holds a 93.4% interest in the Sino-

foreign joint venture CEC Telecom, or CECT, for $43mn USD, to be paid partly

in cash and partly in shares of Qiao Xing Universal Telephone. The valuation

of QXMC was based on the implied valuations from the convertible debenture

that was completed in June of this year. The acquisition is expected to be

finalized no later than the end of December 2006, and the closing remains

subject to customary closing conditions. Qiao Xing Universal Telephone

arrived at the decision to make this acquisition based on the historical

operating performance of CECT, and also the strategic consideration of

converting QXMC into a 100% subsidiary to streamline the ownership structure

of CECT.

Positive Momentum

Qiao Xing Universal Telephone would like to respond to reports circulated

in the Chinese press surrounding performance leading up to the October 1

Chinese National Day by confirming that, up to October 1, CECT has received

orders from distributors for about USD85mn for its recently-launched

“A1000” and “IP1000” series of mobile phones.

According to a recent Sino Report, CECT’s market share is tenth among

all mobile phone brands and fourth among local brands in China. Despite

relatively higher selling prices than most local brands, Qiao Xing Universal

Telephone believes that this upward momentum of market share ranking is

driven in part by the flexibility to offer differentiated products.

Other Updates

A financing solution reached with DKR Management via an issuance of $24mn

USD in stock and 26mn USD in a convertible provided Funds for the acquisition

of the 20% minority interest in QXMC. Terms were finalized on September

18th, and consist of 2 million shares placed at $12 and a CB with a

conversion price of $14.30.

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, a consolidated income statement

for the first half of 2006 and an interim balance sheet shall be filed by

December 31, 2006.
