Tongxin International Announces Unaudited Interim

Financial Results for Six-Month Period Ended

June 30, 2011

CHANGSHA, China, October 20, 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 announced its unaudited interim financial results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $55.3 million, a 3% increase from net revenue of $53.7 million reported for the prior six-month period ended June 30, 2010.  The revenue growth is primarily related to strong sales of the Tian Riu, the company’s newest cab model for the medium-duty commercial truck market segment, as well as changes in the exchange rate in 2011.  Gross profit increased to $5.7 million from $1.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

The Company reported a net loss of $(2.63) million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $1.7 million for the prior year period.  Duanxiang Zhang, the Company’s Chairman, commented, “The net loss experienced during the 2011 six-month period was due to legal suits initiated in 2010 against the Company and its previous management. Although management is confident that all issues will be resolved in favor of the Company, we do anticipate further expenses in 2012. However, it is important to note that we are in a strong cash position, and we have filed for reimbursement of covered expenses from our Directors and Officers (D&O) Liability, which should be reflected in future financial results.”

Duanxiang Zhang, Chairman of Tongxin International, stated, “Tongxin continues to demonstrate its leadership position within the commercial vehicle market with the introduction of new EVBS models for all types of trucks. We are pleased with the initial demand for our latest model in the medium duty truck sector and believe we will see continued demand throughout the year as growth in the sector remains strong and our cabs have proven to be of the highest level of quality while remaining most cost efficient.  We look forward to providing a further update on our progress as we introduce new products to a widened customer base and further build upon our already strong market position.”
