Tongxin International Ltd. (PINKSHEETS: TXIC), a China-based
manufacturer of engineered vehicle body structures ("EVBS") and
stamped parts for the commercial automotive industry, today
announced its unaudited financial results for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2011.
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2011, the Company
reported net revenue of $73.35 million, compared to net revenue of
$72.33 million in the 2010 nine-month period. Gross profit for the
2011 nine-month period was $6.83 million, representing a 109.5%
increase from $3.26 million in the prior year period. This increase
is attributable to steel price reductions and increased medium-duty
cab sales. The increase in these sales led to improved unit sales
prices and, accordingly, reduced the variable cost enabling the
Company to achieve lower production unit costs.
The Company reported a net-loss of $(6.2) million, or $(0.33)
per diluted share, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2011,
compared to a net loss of $(0.67) million and income of $1.37 per
share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The diluted
share calculation is based on a comprehensive net income (loss)
which includes foreign translation adjustments.
Duanxiang Zhang, the Company's Chairman, said, "As we work
towards resolving all legal issues that originated with the
Company's previous management team, we continue to experience
higher than normal expenses driving a loss to the bottom-line.
While we expect these issues to be resolved within the next year
and are confident that our Directors and Officers (D&O)
Liability insurance will help reimburse these expenses, our key
focus remains on our operational growth and meeting the needs of a
broadening market."
Zhang continued, "We continue to strengthen our position as the
largest independent supplier of Engineered Vehicle Body Structures
(EVBS) in China with increased sales of our medium duty cab's built
for the fast-growing commercial truck segment. As our sales
continue to reflect our leadership position, we are confident that
revenues will continue to climb as demand grows within China, as
well as North America and Europe where we are rapidly building our
customer base. With regard to the bottom-line, we expect
consistent, strong improvements moving forward as we rectify our
legal issues and take additional steps to reduce our operational
costs."
