China. Through exploration of 32.34 square kilometers, it was concluded that there is a reserve of 30,985 tons of molybdenum metal and an abundance of other types of multi-metal mine reserves, which was supported by the Technical Report issued by Behre Dolbear Asia, Inc. The remaining 21.56 square meters are also expected to be explored and Haozhou believes that there are likely additional reserves of copper-molybdenum and other types of multi-metal mine therein.
     The mine is located in Chifeng, which is a strategically important base for China’s mineral resources; the molybdenum grade is 0.40% for proved reserve, which is very high compared with the global average; transportation, supply of water and electricity are economically accessible; Chifeng Haozhou is managed by a team of mining experts with proven experience who are capable of operating a mining business; it has all necessary permits, approval from the PRC government authorities to explore and extract the mines, as well as environment protection permits and safety permits; the infrastructure and the initial production facility (the “Initial Project”) are believed to be sufficient to support the capacity of processing 435,000 tons of ores and producing 2,817 tons of molybdenum concentrate product annually (equivalent to 1,378 tons of molybdenum metal). The Initial Project is expected to be put into operation in late 2009. It is planned that, as of 2011, the production capacity will eventually increase to a level to process 540,000 tons of ores and produce 3,526 tons of molybdenum concentrate on an annual basis.
     Pursuant to the current unit price of molybdenum metal and the detected molybdenum reserve, the gross value of the Mine amounts approximately to US$850 million. We expect that the factual gross value of the Mine will be much higher as the price trend of molybdenum metal is on the rise and more molybdenum reserve is expected to be detected in the future.
     The total consideration which the Company paid for the Acquisition was US$110,000,000. We paid US$30 million in cash and issued 40,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock valued at US$2.00 per share to Mr. Rui Lin WU, the former sole shareholder of China Luxuriance and our Chairman.
     For more than ten years, Qiao Xing and its subsidiaries have achieved great success in the telecommunication terminal industry. Our major subsidiary, Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd., by successfully implementing its Differentiation Strategy and Higher-end Product Strategy against the increasingly intensive competition, has become one of the top domestic mobile phone players in terms of profitability and competitiveness. However, due to the significant shrinkage in the indoor phone business industry and the intense pricing competition war in the mobile phone market, another subsidiary of ours, Huizhou Qiao Xing Communication Industry Co., Ltd., a company specializing in the indoor phone and lower-end mobile phone business, is now facing a threat of loss. In order to maintain our long term growth momentum and sustained profitability, roughly three years ago, our management team started to explore the opportunities and arenas for our diversification strategy. Upon completion of our due diligence and market research, we selected this copper-molybdenum poly-metallic mining company as our first diversification target.
     As a rare metal and a non-renewable resource of great strategic importance, molybdenum is widely used in many areas, including the iron and steel melting industries. In the recently-

announced RMB 4 trillion stimulus package launched by the Chinese Government, nearly RMB 1.8 trillion will be spent in the construction of railway, highway, airport and power grid, which is expected to have a very positive effect on the cement, iron and steel industries. We expect that the good opportunities for the iron and steel melting industries will further stimulate the demands for molybdenum concentrate products.
     We believe that this diversification will be one of the major strategic measures to ensure our continued future sustainable development.
ADDITIONAL MATTER TO BE VOTED UPON BY OUR SHAREHOLDERS
THE CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME PROPOSAL
     The Board of Directors of the Company has approved for submission to a vote of the shareholders of the Company an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to change the Company’s name to “Qiao Xing Universal Resources, Inc.”
     The Board of Directors believes that this name change will provide the Company with a more versatile identity for the future as it exits the indoor phone and lower-end mobile phone businesses and commences its diversification into the resources industry. The proposed name change would more accurately reflect the Company’s new diversified principal business.
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME TO “QIAO XING UNIVERSAL RESOURCES, INC.” The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the common stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the approval of this amendment. This name change, if approved, will take effect upon completion and approval of the appropriate regulatory filings.
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
     A representative of Crowe Horwath & Company LLP is expected to attend the meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires. This representative is expected to be available to respond to appropriate shareholder questions at that time.
