Tongxin International Ltd., (PINKSHEETS: TXIC), a China-based
manufacturer of engineered vehicle body structures ("EVBS") and
stamped parts for the commercial automotive industry, today
reported its unaudited financial results for its fiscal 2009 year
end.
The Company has been delayed in filing its 2009 Form 20-F due to
the process of reviewing and obtaining adequate documentation to
support and determine the appropriate accounting treatment of
certain related-party transactions between the Company's
subsidiary, Hunan Tonxgin, and a related party, Changsha Meihua
Vehicle Manufacture Co., Ltd. ("Meihua"). As previously disclosed
in its Current Report on Form 6-K filed September 17, 2010, we have
determined that there was sufficient evidence to reasonably
conclude that the accounting treatment of such related party
transactions has been recorded correctly.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company
reported revenue of $121 million, representing a 24% increase from
$98.4 million in the comparable period of 2008. The increase in
revenue was principally from its sales of EVBS to Chinese customers
in the automotive commercial vehicle market. During 2009, Hunan
Tongxin captured nearly 12% of the total China market for cabs in
the commercial vehicle segment. The sale of individual components
accounted for 25% of total revenue; unpainted cabs accounted for
18% of total revenue and finished cabs with complete interiors
accounted for 13% of total revenue. The sale of dies and moulds to
other fabricators accounted for remaining 2% of total 2009
revenue.
The Company also reported, however, a net loss of $(16.8
million) for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to net
income of $20.5 million for the consolidated results of the prior
year period ended December 31, 2008. The 2009 net loss was
primarily due to loss recognized from the change in fair value of
the warrant liability and warrant exercise expenses. An extension
of the warrants through April 30, 2012 has been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, as announced on Wednesday, March 9,
2011.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 were $16.5
million compared to $11.3 million as of December 31, 2008.
Excluding the loss/gain recognized on the change in fair value
of the warrant liability, and warrant exercise expenses, net income
would have been $4.1 million in 2009 compared to $6.9 million in
2008, a decrease of $2.8 million. The decrease in net income is due
to the increase in SG&A expenses mainly from higher selling
expenses, finance personnel and professional fees related to
SOX/ERP projects.
William E. Zielke, Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Administrative Officer of the Company, commented, "While we have
made considerable efforts in the past year to strengthen our
internal operations, we have also maintained our market position as
the largest independent Chinese supplier of commercial EVBS. The
Hunan Tongxin brand is well established and recognized for its high
quality and reliable products, and we enjoy both brand name and
trademark protection in the PRC."
Mr. Zielke continued, "Our new management team intends to
vigorously maintain our market leadership, even as we anticipate
lower revenues for 2010. In 2009, we increased the number of our
product programs and we intend to expand further the diversity of
our products, while curbing our costs and expenses. Going forward,
we are targeting the North American and European collision-parts
after-markets, leveraging the cost advantages of our high quality
components versus those of other international OEM suppliers."
