Tongxin International Provides Preliminary Summary of Expected Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2010

CHANGSHA, China, July ___, 2011 – Tongxin International Ltd., (Pink Sheets: TXIC), a China-based manufacturer of engineered vehicle body structures (“EVBS”) and stamped parts for the commercial automotive industry, today provided a preliminary summary of its expected financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Preliminary Financial Results:

Tongxin International Ltd. (the “Company”) expects total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010 to be $106.5 million, a 12.1% decrease from the $121.1 million of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Such decrease in total revenues reflects the reduction of original equipment manufacturer production of mini and light commercial vehicles and the increase in production of heavy duty commercial vehicles.

For the year ended, December 31, 2010, the Company expects cost of goods sold to be $99.8 million and selling, general and administrative expenses to be $14.0 million.  As result, the Company expects to have an operating loss of $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared to operating income of $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company expects total stockholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2010 to be approximately $92.1 million compared to $83.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity:

At December 31, 2010, cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (security deposit) totaled approximately $10.8 million.  Total current assets at December 31, 2010 totaled approximately $64.2 million compared to $67.5 million at December 31, 2009.  Total current liabilities totaled approximately $71.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $79.7 million at December 31, 2009.

The Company is evaluating its goodwill for impairment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets”. The determination as to whether a write-down of goodwill is necessary involves significant judgment based on the short-term and long-term projections of the future performance of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is attributed. To the extent that the Company incurs such an impairment charge, it will be non-cash in nature. The Company expects to complete the impairment evaluation of its goodwill and intangible assets by September 30, 2011.
 
 
 

 
  
The Company cautions that all of these financial results are preliminary and subject to change, possibly materially, following the completion and analysis of its financial statements for 2010. Consequently, actual results may differ significantly from the above estimates.  The Company also reiterates that the above preliminary and unaudited financial information does not represent all of the information that would normally be included in an Annual Report on Form 20-F with respect to the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Annual Report:

On June 30, 2011, Tongxin International Ltd. filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that it would not be able to complete the preparation, review and filing of its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 by the filing deadline of June 30, 2011. The Company and its auditor are in the process of completing the audit of the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, and with respect to the audit of Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company is in the process of preparing and completing certain documents and financial and other information necessary to permit the completion of the required audit of the Company’s financial statements for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company is in the process of gathering such documents and in preparing and reviewing the financial and other information required to be included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and its Annual Report on Form 20-F for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as soon as reasonably possible.
