First Half 2011 Results

Revenues were RMB238.6 million (US$36.9 million) compared to RMB324.0 million in the first half of 2010.
Handset shipments were 437,000 units compared to 621,000 units in the first half of 2010.
Gross margin was a negative 32.5% compared to 3.3% in the first half of 2010.
Operating loss was RMB162.4 million (US$25.1 million) compared to RMB85.1 million in the first half of 2010.
Net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares was RMB148.4 million (US$23.0 million) compared to net loss of RMB64.5 million in the first half of 2010.

The decrease in handsets revenue from RMB319.0 million in the first half year of 2010 to RMB151.9 million (US$23.5 million) in the first half of 2011 was primarily due to lower handset shipments and a decrease in the average selling price ("ASP") of products sold in the first half year of 2011.

Total handset shipment in the first half year of 2011 was 437,000 units, compared with 621,000 units in the same period of 2010. The decrease in handset shipments compared to the same period of last year was primarily due to a slow-down in shipments amid intense competition in the PRC handset market and poor reception of new product offerings in the first half of 2011.

Liquidity Requirements

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT

We believe the cash we currently hold, cash flow from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our present cash needs, including our cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue.

Our long-term liquidity needs will relate primarily to working capital to pay our suppliers, distributors and third-party manufacturers, as well as any increases in manufacturing capacity or acquisitions of third party businesses or licenses that we may seek in the future. We expect to meet these requirements primarily through our current cash holdings, revolving short-term bank borrowings, as well as our cash flow from operations. We currently do not have any plan to incur significant capital expenditures in 2011 and for the foreseeable future beyond 2011.

Dr. Li concluded, 'With the imminent rollout of the 3G network nationwide, 3G-compatible mobile phones are poised to be in brisk demand for upgrade among China's mobile phone users, which currently total 640 million and are expected to grow at the high single digit for the next few years. Also, we anticipate that service providers and telecom operators will launch more applications to fully leverage the higher bandwidth provided by these 3G networks, to enrich end-user experiences and increase both online and air traffic. This is a historic opportunity and we are very excited that with our recent 3G-related initiatives, including the F1 model on China Unicom's approved 3G handset list and our T3 model currently in operational test with China Mobile. With all these initiatives, QXM is uniquely positioned to win market share for 3G and high-end phones in China. And last but not least, we will continue to open our VEVA specialty retail stores in prime locations in major cities throughout China. These stores, in addition to Ms. Zhang Ziyi's endorsement, are expected to further enhance VEVA's premium image among domestically manufactured mobile handsets.'
