NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ZOOM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., AFFILIATES & SUBSIDIARIES
MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Acquisition

On September 22, 2009, Zoom Technologies, Inc. ("Zoom", "us", "we", or the "Company"), pursuant to the share exchange agreement ("SEA") dated January 28, 2009, (amended May 12, 2009) acquired all the outstanding shares of Gold Lion Holding Limited ("Gold Lion"), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") (the "Merger"). In connection with the SEA, the Company spun off its then-existing business to its stockholders, by distributing all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and issuing shares of its then operating subsidiary as a dividend to its stockholders.

The parties to the SEA were: (1) Zoom Technologies, Inc., (2) Tianjin Tong Guang Group Digital Communication Co., Ltd., ("TCB Digital") a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China, ("PRC"); (3) Zoom Telephonics, Inc., or Zoom Telephonics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zoom; (4) Gold Lion, (5) Lei (Leo) Gu, a citizen of the PRC; and (6) Songtao Du, a citizen of the PRC.

Gold Lion owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Jiangsu Leimone Electronics Co., Ltd., ("Jiangsu Leimone"), a foreign investment enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC that engages in the manufacturing, R&D, and sales of electronic components for 3rd generation mobile phones, wireless communication circuitry, GPS equipment, and related software products. Jiangsu Leimone owned 51.03% of the outstanding stock of TCB Digital. Gold Lion also owns 100% of Profit Harvest Corporation Ltd, ("Profit Harvest"), a marketing and sales company organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong.

As of the date of the Merger, Mr. Gu owned 70.6% of the outstanding capital stock of Gold Lion. Mr. Du owned 29.4% of the outstanding capital stock of Gold Lion, which was pledged to Mr. Wei Cao.

On September 22, 2009, pursuant to the SEA and approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company, the Company acquired from the Gold Lion shareholders 100% of Gold Lion's outstanding equity for 4,225,219 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of this issuance, the former Gold Lion shareholders owned 69.3% of the outstanding stock of the Company and the transaction was recorded as a reverse acquisition. Prior to the Merger, the Company had 1,980,978 shares outstanding which were recapitalized as part of the Merger. The Company, which had an option to acquire an additional 29.0% of the outstanding capital stock of TCB Digital, pursuant to the SEA and the approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company, agreed to provide the Company the option in exchange for the 2,402,576 shares of the Company's common stock. As of March 31, 2010, Mr. Gu exercised this option (See details in Section entitled "The Subsidiaries" below).

Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, the Company issued a dividend of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Zoom Telephonics to the Company's stockholders of record immediately prior to the closing which is referred to herein as the "spin-off"). In connection with the spin-off, the Company distributed all assets and liabilities related to the Company to Zoom Telephonics, subject to certain licensing rights discussed below. Zoom's stockholders immediately prior to the closing of the Merger retained their existing shares in Zoom and also received an equal number of new shares in Zoom Telephonics. After the Merger and the spin-off, the Company and Zoom Telephonics became independent companies.

TCB Digital and Zoom Telephonics entered into a license agreement which granted TCB Digital rights to the "Zoom" and "Hayes" trademarks for certain products and geographic regions. Zoom and Zoom Telephonics also entered into a separation and distribution agreement that allocates responsibility for obligations arising before and after the spin-off, including, among others, obligations relating to taxes.

7


Our former directors, entered into founder lock-up agreements pursuant to which they agreed that during the one-year period commencing on the date of closing of the Merger each will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate, in any calendar month, greater than 3% of the aggregate amount of shares of the Company's common stock sold in the previous four calendar weeks.

On June 1, 2010, Zoom pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") dated April 29, 2010, acquired 100% of the shares of Nollec Wireless Company Ltd., ("Nollec Wireless") a mobile phone and wireless communication design company in Beijing, China (the "Acquisition").

The parties to the Agreement include: (1) Zoom Technologies, Inc.; (2) Silver Tech Enterprises, Ltd. ("Silver Tech"), a holding company founded in July 2005, organized and existing under the laws of the BVI, which owned 100% of Ever Elite Corporation, Ltd. ("Ever Elite"); (3) Ever Elite, a holding company founded in June 2007, organized under the laws of Hong Kong, or HK, which owned 100% of Nollec Wireless; (4) Nollec Wireless, the operating company founded in June 2007, organized under the laws of the PRC; (5) Key Network Holdings, Ltd. ("KNH"), a BVI company, then owner of 76.8% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech; and (6) Better Day Finance, Ltd. ("BDF"), a BVI company, then owner of 23.2% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech from KNH and BDF, the existing shareholders of Silver Tech, for $10.96 million, comprised of $1.37 million in cash and 1,342,599 newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of Zoom valued at $9.59 million at the weighted average closing price of shares for 10 days prior and leading up to the Agreement date. At the closing of the Acquisition on May 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,342,599 shares of its common stock and paid $500,000; the balance of $870,000 in cash will be paid in six equal installments over a period of three years. As of December 31, 2011, the Company owed three remaining payments of $145,000 each. The Company paid $275,000 in year 2011 and $137,500 in 2010 and as of March 31, 2012, $290,000 was included in other payables and $145,000 was included in long-term payables (See Note 19). After the closing of the Acquisition on June 1, 2010, Silver Tech, Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless became wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoom. The Company determined the Acquisition did not require the preparation and filing of audited financial statements of Silver Tech under Rule 3-05(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-X.

On January 4, 2011, pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the `Share Exchange Agreement") the Company acquired 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd., ("CDE") a mobile platform video game development company based in HK. The consideration period was $1,818,000 worth of shares of common stock of the Company; the number of shares was calculated by dividing $1,818,000 by the higher of i) $3.75 per share or ii) the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the Company's shares for the 10 consecutive trading days leading up to the day before the date of the Share Exchange Agreement which was December 20, 2010. This resulted in the issuance of 484,800 shares of the Company's common stock to acquire CDE. CDE primarily focuses on development of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms. CDE has developed over 40 titles for the Apple iPhone and is one of the largest developers of iPhone applications in Asia. The Company acquired CDE through its wholly owned HK subsidiary, Profit Harvest.

On October 11, 2011, the Company and Zoom USA Holdings, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Zoom Sub") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("Securities Purchase Agreement") to purchase from The Cellular Network Communications Group, Inc. ("CNCG") a 50% interest in Portables Unlimited LLC ("Portables"), an exclusive wholesale distributor of T-Mobile products in the United States. As consideration of the 50% interest in Portables, the Company (i) issued 1,494,688 shares of Zoom common stock (the "Equity Consideration") to the principals of CNCG and (ii) through Zoom Sub, issued a promissory note of $500,000 payable to CNCG. The promissory note accrues interest at 2% and matures three years from the date of issuance. The Equity Consideration was to be held in escrow until the date that Portables provided to the Company financial statements for Portables' third quarter ended September 30, 2011. The financial statements were provided in January 2012 and the stock certificates were released from escrow. In addition, Zoom Sub purchased an additional 5% interest in Portables for $750,000, to be paid within 30 days of the closing date, which is currently outstanding. Further, in connection with the transaction, the Company assumed the responsibility for repaying certain indebtedness owed by Portables to T-Mobile USA, Inc. in the amount of $4,757,187 (the "T-Mobile Indebtedness"), and agreed to arrange for a $500,000 letter of credit in the name of Portables to secure obligations of Portables to T-Mobile. The T-Mobile Indebtedness was payable under the following schedule: $2,500,000 was due on November 10, 2011 (the "Initial Payment"), $1,400,000 was due on December 10, 2011 (the "Second Payment"), and the remaining $853,788 was due on December 20, 2011 (the "Final Payment"). The Initial Payment and Second Payment were made in a timely manner, and pursuant to an agreement with T-Mobile the Final Payment was waived. The waiver of the final payment was recognized as other income in 2011 because this settlement was not a required condition in the Company's acquisition of Portables. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay other outstanding indebtedness of Portables in the amount of $4,500,000, less the amount of T-Mobile Indebtedness paid off.

The Company had previously recognized acquisition payables to Portables in the amount of $1,350,000 and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations to T-Mobile. On April 13, 2012, the Company received notice that it was in default on the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company was in default, the Company's ownership of Portables will be reduced and CNCG will be entitled to enforce certain rescission rights against the Company, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Also, in case of a default, Portables, CNCG and the other member of Portables may bring claims for indemnification against the Company for a breach under the Securities Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company's non-payment to Portables has reduced its percentage of ownership from 55.0% to 50.5%. Portables Unlimited Inc. owns 49.5% of Portables. As of May 15, 2012, the Company is in dispute with Portables Unlimited Inc. over the Company's percentage of ownership of Portables. The Company derecognized the $1,350,000 acquisition payable and does not expect to make payment for that liability. In the event that the Company is not able to maintain its majority ownership of Portables, the Company would account for its investment in Portables using the equity method of accounting. We cannot at this time assess the probability of our success in this dispute.

On October 26, 2011, the Company closed the sale of 1,676,300 shares of common stock to Spreadtrum Communications, Inc., ("Spreadtrum") pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into by and among the Company, Spreadtrum and Leo (Lei) Gu (the "Key Stockholder"). In consideration, Spreadtrum paid $2,900,000. The Company, Key Stockholder and Spreadtrum executed the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Spreadtrum did not receive any registration rights and no warrants were issued pursuant to the Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to design and develop all applicable Company products to integrate and operate solely with Spreadtrum's products, and to not design and develop any Company products to integrate or operate with any Spreadtrum's competitive products for a term of three years from the Purchase Agreement. Also pursuant to the Agreement, Spreadtrum shall have the right to nominate one nominee to the board of directors of the Company (the "Nomination Right"), subject to approval of the Company's independent directors, as required under Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)-Independent Director Oversight of Director Nominations. Spreadtrum's Nomination Right shall continue until such time that Spreadtrum owns not less than 838,150 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. In accordance to the Purchase Agreement, Dr. Leo Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spreadtrum Communications Inc., was added to our Board of Directors.

Pursuant to an agreement dated June 30, 2007, Mr. Wei Cao ("Cao"), purchased from Gu 29.4% of then outstanding shares of the Company. Through a resolution of the Company on November 26, 2008, the Company's issued 705 shares to Gu and 294 shares to Mr. Songtao Du ("Du"), resulting in 1,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to a pledge agreement dated November 26, 2008, Du pledged his 294 shares to Cao, including all rights to such shares. As such, Gu and Cao jointly controlled 100% of Gold Lion.

On August 2, 2007, Gu founded Profit Harvest in Hong Kong, and in December 2008, 100% ownership of Profit Harvest was transferred to Gold Lion. Profit Harvest serves two purposes: i) to facilitate the export of the Company's finished goods to international markets, and ii) trading of components and chipsets for a profit.

Pursuant to the capital injection agreement ("the CIA") by and among Tianjin Communication and Broadcasting Group Co., Ltd. ("TCBGCL"), TCBGCL Labor Union, Hebei Leimone Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Leimone"), Tianjin 712 Communication and Broadcasting Co., Ltd. ("712"), Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. ("Beijing Depu") and other natural person shareholders on May 8, 2007 and a resolution of the shareholder's meeting on June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone, a company controlled by Gu, acquired 25.1% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL Labour Union and various natural person shareholders for RMB9,000,000, equivalent to USD $1,286,000. Pursuant to this CIA, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu, the companies controlled by Gu and Cao, were to invest RMB15,928,700 and RMB10,377,600 respectively in TCB Digital, bringing the total investment from Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu to USD $4,679,111 (RMB35,306,300). After this investment was made as of June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu held 36.0% and 15.0% respectively of TCB Digital, or 51.0% aggregate ownership in TCB Digital. Pursuant to an agreement dated June 30, 2007, Cao irrevocably pledged his 15.0% interest in TCB Digital through his ownership in Beijing Depu to Gu for a 29.4% stake in Gold Lion. As of March 31, 2010, Gu exercised his option to transfer an additional 29.0% of TCB Digital to the Company. The Company issued 2,402,576 common shares to Mr. Gu and his assignees as purchase consideration and 60,000 common shares to an investment banker as compensation for this transaction. The Company's ownership interest in TCB Digital was increased to 80% as of March 31, 2010. This transaction was recorded under SFAS No. 160 (Included in ASC 810 "Consolidation") "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements", an amendment of ARB No. 51, with the excess of fair value of shares over the carrying value of minority interests charged to additional paid in capital. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 2,462,576 shares.

On November 30, 2007, Gold Lion and GD Industrial Company signed a share transfer agreement, pursuant to which, GD Industrial Company transferred to the Company 60% interest of Nantong Zong Yi Kechuang Digital Camera Technology Co., Ltd. ("Nantong Zong Yi") for $10,273. In July 2008, Nantong Zong Yi changed its name to Jiangsu Leimone Electronic Co., Ltd. ("Jiangsu Leimone"). Before the acquisition, Jiangsu Leimone had no operating activities. In January 2008, the Company invested $5,074,226 (HK$38,800,000) in Jiangsu Leimone to increase the Company's ownership in Jiangsu Leimone to 80%. Pursuant to the share transfer agreement by and between Gold Lion and Nantong Zong Yi Investment Co., Ltd. dated November 26, 2008, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of Jiangsu Leimone from Nantong Zong Yi Investment Co., Ltd. for $103,214 (HK$800,000).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 includes the accounts of Gold Lion Holding Ltd, its 100%-owned subsidiary Profit Harvest which wholly owns Celestial Digital Entertainment, its 100%-owned subsidiary Jiangsu Leimone, which owns 80% of TCB Digital, its 100%-owned subsidiary Silver Tech, which wholly owns Ever Elite, and Ever Elite's wholly owned subsidiary Nollec Wireless, and its specifically formed wholly owned Zoom Sub which owned 55% of Portables. Zoom's consolidated balance sheet as of March 31. 2012 includes the balance sheets of Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, CDE, Zoom Sub, and Portables. The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 include Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, CDE, Zoom Sub, and Portables. Portables ownership interest reduced to 50.5% as of March 31, 2012 and its operating results reported accordingly (See Note 1). The consolidated operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, and CDE.

Exclusion of Related Party Lessor from Consolidation

Portables commencing in January 2009, subleased its principal facility from one of its noncontrolling member. The member began leasing the facility in December 2005 from a related party, AUM Realty, LLC ("AUM"). The Company's management has assessed whether AUM should be consolidated pursuant to FASB ASC 810 Consolidations. ASC 810 is not a "rules based" standard and thereby includes limited circumstances under which it can be conclusively determined whether an entity should be consolidated. Management believes that AUM is not a variable interest entity ("VIE") as defined in ASC 810 because AUM was adequately capitalized. Equity contributions from AUM's owners exceeded 20% of the acquisition costs of the property. Management believes that this is, according to ASC 810 criteria, "sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support." Portables noncontrolling member and the owners of AUM provided guarantees of AUM's Rockland County Industrial Development Agency ("IDA") supported bank loan. Such a guarantee constitutes a form of "subordinated financial support," which provides a contrary indication to management's assessment that AUM is not a VIE. Management believes, however, that the guarantees were not necessary for AUM to finance its activities, and its equity capital was sufficient to support its activities if necessary, but the guarantees were only required under IDA rules in order to obtain the reduced financing costs of the IDA support. Management believes that the same is true at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (See Note 27 for details).

Based on this assessment, management believes that AUM is not a VIE and therefore is not consolidated as a component of these consolidated financial statements. If the matter were to be assessed differently, these consolidated financial statements would have included AUM's assets (principally land and building), liabilities (principally loan payable) and expenses, with the excess of AUM's assets over liabilities shown as a "noncontrolling interest".

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). For the Company's subsidiaries of JS Leimone, TCB Digital and Nollec Wireless, the functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"); the functional currency of Gold Lion, Profit Harvest, silver Tech, Zoom Sub and Portables is United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"), and the functional currency of Ever Elite and CDE is Hong Kong Dollars ("HKD"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in USD.

The unaudited financial statements included herein were prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's 2011 audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", previously SFAS No. 130, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements.

ASC 220 defines comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The accounts of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," (codified in Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810) with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiaries. According to SFAS 52, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the date of the balance sheet; stockholders' equity is translated at historical rates; the line items on the statement of operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the income statement.

Translations adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity were $2,391,007 and $2,081,429 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

12


Cash and Equivalents

For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with various banks and trust companies located in China. Cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding cash deposits become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur. For the contracted manufacturing activities, our standard terms for accounts receivable from our customers are between 60 to 75 days from close of the billing cycle; and for sales of own brand phones our terms include prepaid arrangements and extending receivable to customers up to 60 days. We also offer credit terms of up to 150 days in our trading activities to a certain customers. As of March 31, 2012, management concluded that the allowances as accrued and disclosed in Note 4 - Accounts Receivable were adequate to cover any potential unrecoverable balances as a result of delinquency.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requires; or decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand.

In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Historically, the actual net realizable value has been close to management's estimate.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed in the current period.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as set out below.

Fixed Asset Class

4-6 years

Electronic equipment

Capitalized Interest

Interest associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project using weighted-average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment", previously SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs of disposal. The Company performed as annual review of its long-lived assets at December 31, 2011, and management concluded that for year 2011 there was no impairment. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012, management did not become aware of events that impaired the carrying value of the Company's long lived assets.

Goodwill

The Company recognizes goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the business acquired. ASC 350 "Intangible Assets-Goodwill and Other", previously SFAS No. 142, an impairment test for goodwill is undertaken by the Company at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. As of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011 the Company recorded impairment of goodwill of $0 and $1,033,762 respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605), "Revenue Recognition."

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:

(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

(ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered;

(iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and,

(iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT").

The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from customers.

14


The Company's subsidiary, Nollec Wireless is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile solution R&D business, Nollec Wireless, recognizes revenue under the percentage of completion method ASC Topic 605-35-25 (Construction - Type and Production - Type Contracts) when reasonably dependable estimates can be made and all the following conditions exist:

  1. Contracts executed by the parties normally include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement.
  2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
  3. The contractor can be expected to perform all contractual obligations.

Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.

Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income, and is determined by dividing incurred costs to date by estimated total costs after giving effect to adjustments, if any, in estimates of costs to completion based upon the most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.

Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.

The Company's subsidiary, CDE is in the business of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605-55-125. Cost of Software Development Revenue is accounted for under ASC 985-20 to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed.

CDE capitalizes cost of development of software for hosting purpose in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-40 ("ASC 350-40"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software (Pre-codification: Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use). As such, CDE expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. Since the inception of CDE, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result all internally used software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

The Company's subsidiary, Portables is in the business of mobile phone. Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon shipment or when purchased at Portables retail locations. Commission income is recognized upon activation of wireless communication services with T-Mobile.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes", previously SFAS No. 109. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management's opinion; it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

15


Operating Leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company that do not meet the capitalization criteria of ASC 840 "Leases", previously SFAS No. 13, are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payables under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the lease term.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are related primarily to the development of cell phone technology, video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", previously SFAS No. 128. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculation dates.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", previously FAS 157, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

16


The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable (Note 15). Management estimates the carrying amounts of the non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company's cash and equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and notes receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables.

Notes receivable are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to certain percentage of the notes amount as collateral. These notes receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain an allowance for notes receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company follows ASC 810, previously SFAS No. 160 "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-reported in equity" for reporting non-controlling interest ("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reports NCI as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income and comprehensive income attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company also includes a separate column for NCI in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

17


Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", previously SFAS No. 95, cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe the requirements in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in the application and description of fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). ASU 2011-04 clarifies how the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets or of liabilities. In addition, ASU 2011-04 expanded the disclosures for the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring quantitative information to be disclosed related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset's highest and best use. ASU 2011-04 will be effective for the first interim and annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the future impact of this new accounting update on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income." ASU 2011-05 will require companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Further, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05." The Company believes the adoption of this guidance concerns disclosure only and will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment." ASU 2011-08 will allow companies to assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that goodwill might be impaired and whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test required under current accounting standards. ASU 2011-08 will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for annual reporting period beginning December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2012, there are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

There were 423,100 options outstanding as of September 22, 2009, the effective date of the reverse merger between Zoom and Gold Lion, with expiration in 3 years from the date of grant and in various stages of vesting. The non-cash compensation charges of these stock options were recorded by the spun-off subsidiary, Zoom Telephonics, and were expensed by the Company.

34


On the closing of the Merger, 30,000 stock options were granted to four exiting directors of the Company, for their anticipated cooperation with Post-Merger management, including the provision of any historical information about the Company that may be needed in future activities. Such options are exercisable at $10.14 per share, vest in six months from the date of grant and expired two years later. The non-cash compensation charges of these 30,000 shares of options will be expensed by the Company. All such options have expired or were exercised.

The Company determined the grant date fair value of 865,000 options of $1.80 per share which was calculated using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $6.18 per share, exercise price of $6.18 per share, expected life of 3.25 years, volatility of 39.18% and discount rate of 1.26%.

For the re-pricing of the above 865,000 options on November 28, 2010, from the exercise price of $6.18 to $3.75 per share, the Company determined the incremental fair value of $0.48 per share which was calculated by taking the difference between the Black Scholes values of the new exercise price and that of the old exercise price. Other data used in the calculations include: the stock market price of $3.54, expected of 2.28 years, volatility of 33.59% and discount rate of 0.78%.

The Company determined the grant date fair value of 235,000 options of $1.20 per share which was calculated using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $6.18 per share, exercise price of $6.18 per share, expected life of 1.5 years, volatility of 39.18% and discount rate of 0.78%.

For the re-pricing of the above 235,000 options on November 28, 2010, from the exercise price of $6.18 to $3.75 per share, the Company determined the incremental fair value of $0.26 per share which was calculated by taking the difference between the Black Scholes values of the new exercise price and that of the old exercise price. Other data used in the calculations include: the stock market price of $3.54, expected of 0.53 years, volatility of 33.59% and discount rate of 0.28%.

The Company determined the grant date fair value of 677,000 options of $0.74 per share which was calculated using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $3.45 per share, exercise price of $3.75 per share, expected life of 3.25 years, volatility of 33.42% and discount rate of 0.84%.

The Company recorded $261,499 of non-cash compensation expense related to stock options for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, there was $1,059,054 of non-cash compensation to be recorded up to 2014 based on options valued at grant date.

NOTE 23- INCOME TAX

The Company is subject to income taxes by entity on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

Zoom Technologies Inc., the parent company was incorporated in the U.S. and has net operating losses ("NOL") for income tax purposes, which can be carried forward for up to 20 years from the year the loss is incurred. Zoom has NOL carry forwards for income taxes of approximately $9.0 million at March 31, 2012, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. Management believes the realization of benefits from these losses remains uncertain due to Zoom's limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided.

TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone and Nollec Wireless are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

36


Jiangsu Leimone is exempt from income tax in PRC for two years starting from the first profitable year or the year 2008, whichever is earlier, and is subject to a 50% exemption on normal income tax rate for the following three years. 

Nollec Wireless is exempt from income tax in PRC for two years starting from 2008, and is subject to a 50% exemption on normal income tax rate for three years starting from 2010 and is subject to normal income tax rate from 2013.

Since Nollec has pre-tax loss for the three months period ended March 31, 2012, the Company's net income and earnings per share had no effect due to its income tax exemption.

Profit Harvest and CDE are governed by the Income Tax Law of Hong Kong, which is generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 16.5% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.

Portables is governed by the Income Tax Law of United States; however, because Portables is a pass through entity for tax purposes, tax liabilities are the responsibility of its members. Therefore, Zoom Sub, which is responsible to report and make payments on its portion of income generated by Portables is subject to a statutory tax rate of 34%.

TCB Digital had pre-tax loss of $330,920 and pre-tax profit of $82,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, while Jiangsu Leimone had pre-tax loss of $62,756 and $197,098 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively, while Profit Harvest had pre-tax profit of $2,220,820 and $4,608,867 for 2011 and 2010 respectively, while Nollec Wireless had pre-tax loss of $563,923 and $1,131,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, while CDE had pre-tax loss of $131,407 and $37,798 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, while Portables had pre-tax profit of $484,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Foreign pretax earnings approximated $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. The Company provides income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries except to the extent that, such earnings are invested indefinitely outside of the U.S. At March 31, 2012, approximately $30.79 million of accumulated undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries was invested indefinitely. At the existing U.S. federal income tax rate, additional taxes of $6.4 million would have to be provided if such earnings were remitted currently.

NOTE 24 - STATUTORY RESERVES

As stipulated by the Company Law of the PRC, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:

i) Making up cumulative prior years' losses, if any;

ii) Allocations to the "Statutory surplus reserve" of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital;

iii) Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's "Statutory common welfare fund", which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company's employees; and Statutory common welfare fund is no longer required per the new cooperation law executed in 2006.

iv) Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders' general meeting.

In accordance with Chinese Company Law, the Company allocated 10% of its net income to surplus. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company appropriated Nil and $6,196 to statutory surplus reserve respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company's statutory surplus reserve was $682,528 and $682,528 respectively.

NOTE 26 - OPERATING RISK

  • Industry risk

The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving, highly competitive and fragmented market driven by consumer preferences and quickly evolving technology. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market share. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

  • Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee the Renminbi and USD exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods and post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi and USD. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.

  • Operating risk

The Company is contingently liable for a total of $4 million (RMB 25.2 million), for notes received from customers that are endorsed or discounted or pledged but not matured as of March 31, 2012.

  • Political risk

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

  • Interest risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Company's future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.

NOTE 27 - COMMITMENTS

Operating lease commitments

A non-controlling member of Portables, entered into a sublease agreement with AUM for the same period as the lease agreement, expiring in July 2015, which requires minimum monthly rent payments and all operating expenses and PILOT payments (real estate taxes). In addition, AUM borrowed $1,628,000 from a bank secured by a first mortgage on the property. This loan is guaranteed by Portables non-controlling member.

Beginning January 1, 2009, Portables entered into a sublease agreement with its non-controlling member on a month-to-month basis for this property.

Portables leases two warehouses and 28 retail stores and kiosks. These leases require monthly payments and expire at various dates through 2015. The Company has operating agreements in place with all of the retail stores and kiosks whereby independent third parties (the "operators") operate the retail locations and provide specific services as outlined in the operating agreements. The leases for these locations remain in the name of the Company but are subleased by the operators of the locations. Rent expense is being recorded using the straight-line basis over the term of the leases in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

You should read this Management's Discussion and Analysis in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Related Notes.

Corporate Overview

Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us", "our", or "Zoom") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 29, 2002. Until September 22, 2009, our business was the design, production, marketing, sales, and support of broadband and dial-up modems, Voice over Internet Protocol or "VoIP" products and services, Bluetooth® wireless products, and other communication-related products.

On September 22, 2009, the Company consummated a share exchange transaction and acquired all the outstanding shares of Gold Lion Holding Limited ("Gold Lion"), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"). In connection with the share exchange transaction, the Company spun off its then-existing business to its stockholders, by distributing and transferring all assets and liabilities to its then subsidiary, Zoom Telephonics, Inc., and issuing shares of its then operating subsidiary as a dividend to its stockholders.

The Company, through Gold Lion, is the owner of 100% of Profit Harvest Corporation Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("Profit Harvest") and through Gold Lion's wholly owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Leimone, is the owner of 80% of TCB Digital, a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The Company's ownership of TCB Digital increased from 51% to 80% when our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lei Gu, through Hebei Leimone Technology Company, Ltd. ("Hebei Leimone"), a company controlled by him, exercised an option to purchase an additional 28.97% of TCB Digital and transferred such ownership to the Company on March 29, 2010. The Company issued 2,402,576 shares of common stock to Hebei Leimone's assignees as consideration for such transfer. Profit Harvest serves as the sales and marketing arm of TCB Digital and Jiangu Leimone serves as a complimentary and supplemental manufacturing arm for TCB Digital. Substantially all of the revenues of Zoom are currently generated by TCB Digital and Profit Harvest, and from June 1, 2010 onwards by Nollec Wireless (see next paragraph), and from October 12, 2011 onwards by Portables Unlimited LLC. Both TCB Digital and Jiangsu Leimone are in the business of manufacturing, research and development, and sales of electronic components for third generation mobile phones, whole phones, wireless communication circuitry, GPS equipment, and related software products.

On June 1, 2010 the Company acquired 100% ownership of Silver Tech Enterprises, Ltd ("Silver Tech"), a BVI holding company which owns 100% of Ever Elite Corporation, Ltd ("Ever Elite"), a Hong Kong holding company, which owns 100% of Nollec Wireless, a mobile phone and wireless communication design company located in Beijing, China, founded in June 2007 and organized under the laws of the PRC. The Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Silver Tech from its previous owners for $10.96 million, comprised of $1.37 million in cash and 1,342,599 newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of Zoom valued at $9.59 million.

On January 4, 2011, the Company through its wholly-own subsidiary in Hong Kong, Profit Harvest, acquired 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd., ("CDE") a mobile platform video game development company based in Hong Kong. The consideration was $1,818,000 to be divided by the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the Company's common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days leading up to the day before the date of this Share Exchange Agreement, or $3.75 per share, whichever is greater. This resulted in the issuance of 484,800 shares to acquire CDE.

CDE primarily focuses on development of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms. CDE has developed over 40 titles for the Apple iPhone and is one of the largest developers of iPhone apps in Asia. The acquisition transaction closed on January 4, 2011, and CDE became a wholly owned subsidiary of Profit Harvest.

On October 12, 2011, the Company and Zoom USA Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Zoom Sub") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase from The Cellular Network Communications Group, Inc. ("CNCG") a 50% interest in Portables Unlimited LLC ("Portables"), an exclusive wholesale distributor of T-Mobile products in the United States. As consideration of the 50% interest in Portables, Zoom (i) issued 1,494,688 shares of Zoom common stock (the "Equity Consideration") to the principals of CNCG and (ii) through Zoom Sub, issued a promissory note of $500,000 payable to CNCG. The promissory note accrues interest at 2% and matures three years from the date of issuance. In addition, Zoom Sub purchased an additional 5% interest in Portables for $750,000. Further, in connection with the transaction, Zoom assumed the responsibility for repaying certain indebtedness owed by Portables to T-Mobile USA, Inc. of $4,757,187 (the "T- Mobile Indebtedness"), and agreed to arrange for a $500,000 letter of credit in the name of Portables to secure obligations of Portables to T-Mobile. The T-Mobile Indebtedness was payable under the following schedule: $2,500,000 was due on November 10, 2011 (the "Initial Payment"), $1,400,000 was due on December 10, 2011 (the "Second Payment"), and the remaining $857,186 was due on December 20, 2011 (the "Final Payment"). The Initial Payment and Second Payment were made timely, and pursuant to the agreement with T-Mobile the Final Payment was waived. Zoom also agreed to pay other outstanding indebtedness of Portables of $4,500,000, less the amount of T-Mobile Indebtedness paid off. Additionally, the Company had previously recognized acquisition payables to Portables in the amount of $1,350,000 and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations to T-Mobile. On April 13, 2012, the Company received notice that it was in default on the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company was in default, a portion of the Company's ownership of Portables will be transferred to Portables, and CNCG will be entitled to enforce certain rescission rights against the Company, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Also, in case of a default, Portables, CNCG and the other member of Portables may bring claims for indemnification against the Company for a breach under the Securities Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company's non-payment to Portables has reduced its percentage of ownership from 55.0% to 50.5%. Portables Unlimited Inc. owns 49.5% of Portables. As of May 15, 2012, the Company is in dispute with Portables Unlimited Inc. over the Company's percentage of ownership of Portables. The Company derecognized the $1,350,000 acquisition payable and does not expect to make payment for that liability. We cannot at this time assess the probability of our success in this dispute. Please see more details in Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business Operations of the Accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Plan of Operation

During the next 12 months, Zoom, together with its subsidiaries, expects to take the following steps in connection with the development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:

  • Zoom intends to continue to grow its EMS business by delivering products and services to OEN and ODM customers
  • Zoom will continue to develop its own "Leimone" and "ZOOM" brand phones;
  • Zoom will gradually increase its investment in the 2.5G-3G mobile communications business;
  • Zoom will continue to customize mobile phones in cooperation with the main mobile operators in China and in Asia;
  • Zoom will continue to build our export business globally;
  • Zoom will continue to service and expand its licensed wholesale distribution service for T-Mobile USA.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of Zoom's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect its reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Zoom based its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting Zoom's consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments: allowance for doubtful accounts; income taxes; asset impairment.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with US GAAP, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Noted below are brief descriptions of the product or service revenues that Zoom recognizes in the financial statements contained herein.

The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605), "Revenue Recognition."

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:

(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

(ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered;

(iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and,

(iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT").

The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from customers.

Company's subsidiary, Nollec Wireless is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile solution R&D business, Nollec Wireless, recognizes revenue under percentage of completion method ASC Topic 605-35-25 (Construction - Type and Production - Type Contracts) when reasonably dependable estimates can be made and in which all the following conditions exist:

44


  1. Contracts executed by the parties normally include provisions that clearly specify the enforceable rights regarding goods or services to be provided and received by the parties, the consideration to be exchanged, and the manner and terms of settlement.
  2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
  3. The contractor can be expected to perform all contractual obligations.

Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.

Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income that incurred costs to date divided by estimated total costs after giving effect to estimates of costs to complete based on most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.

Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.

In our Portables operations, revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon shipment or when purchased at Company retail locations. Commission income is recognized upon activation of wireless communication services with T- Mobile.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Zoom maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when Zoom assesses the realization of accounts receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. Zoom initially records a provision for doubtful accounts based on its historical experience, and then adjusts this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of its accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, Zoom considers: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable; (ii) trends within and ratios involving the age of the accounts receivable; (iii) the customer mix in each of the aging categories and the nature of the receivable; (iv) its historical provision for doubtful accounts; (v) the credit worthiness of the customer; and (vi) the economic conditions of the customer's industry as well as general economic conditions, among other factors. Management regularly reviews outstanding receivables to determine their recoverability. Zoom regularly reviews the credit policies and procedures of its operating subsidiaries to ensure that procedures are appropriate to the Company's risk management approach as well as the general economic environment.

Income taxes

Zoom accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 (ASC Topic 740), "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management's opinion; it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Zoom adopted FIN 48 (ASC Topic 740), Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions. Zoom engages tax preparers in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates to determine if the Company is both fully compliant with applicable tax laws and is lawfully maximizing tax benefits to the Company.

Asset Impairment

Zoom periodically evaluates the carrying value of other long-lived assets, including, but not limited to, property and equipment and intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Significant estimates are utilized to calculate expected future cash flows utilized in impairment analyses.

45


Zoom also utilizes judgment to determine other factors within fair value analyses, including the applicable discount rate. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has completely written off goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone. During 2011, the Company took 50% impairment charges for goodwill related to its acquisition of CDE. The Company will closely monitor the development and carrying value of CDE on a quarterly basis in 2012 to determine if additional impairment charges will be necessary. As of March 31, 2012, the Company did not record any impairment of goodwill; however, the Company reviewed the current and projected future cash flows of its subsidiaries in concluding no impairment of goodwill was necessary during the period.

Commitments

As detailed in Note 27-Commitments of the accompanying notes to the financial statements, the Company had operating leases commitments for it leased facilities.

Results of Operations for the Quarter ended March 31, 2012

Revenues

Our revenues were $90,908,264 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $32,296,578 or 55.1% compared to $58,611,686 in the corresponding quarter in 2011. The increase of revenues in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2011 was mainly due to the increase in sales of whole phones including our own Leimone brand phones, by Profit Harvest and TCB Digital. In the first quarter of 2012, we sold 1.75 million whole phones of which 0.37 million units were Leimone brand phones, with 0.28 million units of those phones being 3G handsets compared to 0.81 million whole phones, of which 0.19 million units were Leimone brand phones, with .03 million units being 3G, for the same period in 2011. Revenue from sales of our own branded products in the first quarter of 2012 was $28.1 million as compared to $13.4 million for the same period in 2011.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, Portables contributed $16,082,335 in revenue, of which $6,817,569 was derived from the sale of phones and accessories, and $9,264,766 was derived from activation and reoccurring carrier service fees.

Cost of goods

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012 our cost of goods was $84,752,706 or 93.2% of revenues while cost of goods sold for the same period in 2011, was $52,262,817 or 89.2% of revenues. The increase in the cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a highly competitive mobile handset market, and that we are developing our purchasing power for raw materials as a manufacturer of our own Leimone brand phones in contrast to past years where goods were consigned to us, and we simply performed assembly services. We expect a downward trend in our per unit average cost of materials as we develop our purchasing relationship with suppliers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 declined by 3.0% to $6,155,558 compared to $6,348,870 for the corresponding same period in 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2012 was 6.8%, a decrease from 10.8% for the same period in 2011. The main reason for the decrease in gross margin is correlated with the decrease in gross margin as percentage of sales. The main factors driving such slim margins are a highly price sensitive mobile handset market and our early stage development of purchasing relationships with materials suppliers.

The sales of mobile handsets and accessories by Portables produced gross margins of 5.0%, while activation and reoccurring carrier service fees provided for 26.0% gross margins during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Gross margins, on weighted average basis for the combined product and services mix derived from Portables was $2,743,888 or 17.1%.

Operating expenses

Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent salaries of sales personnel, and marketing and transportation costs; such expenses were $245,608 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $208,539 for the corresponding period in 2011. The higher amounts in this category for 2012 resulted from the significantly increased activities in the sales of our own brand products and also for support of our export business.

46


General and administrative expenses primarily consisted of compensation for administrative personnel, depreciation, travel expenses, rental, materials expenses related to ordinary administration, and fees for professional services; and these were $3,394,640 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1,266,191 for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase of such expenses in 2012 was due to our inclusion 0f $2,151,942 of general and administrative expenses generated by Portables, our newly acquired subsidiary, increased overall business activity, and increased costs of legal, accounting and related expenses in order to maintain the Company's compliance with SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations.

The Company's non-cash equity-based compensation charges were $434,249 and $307,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The $126,780 increase, or 41.2%, in such expenses during the period represents the Company's continuing efforts to align the interests of key personnel and board members with those of the Company's common shareholders.

The Company's research and development expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $526,714 and $1,635,204 respectively. These costs were incurred by our Nollec Wireless subsidiary for developmental costs in mobile handset design and software integration. R&D expenditures decreased by $1,108,490, or -67.8%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decreases results from improved cost management and the reduction of extensive upfront R&D costs invested in 2011 in developing our own branded smart phones products targeted at the European and North American markets. We believe that costs related to development of these products will be steadier as percentage of revenue on a move forward basis and our investments in 2011 will begin to show returns for the Company in 2012 and beyond.

Other income/(expenses)-net

The Company's other expenses-net were $388,038 and $344,663 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively. These expenses were the results of interest expense offset by interest income and also income from various non- recurring activities. The primary reason for the increase of 12.6% was primarily attributable to increase of interest expense.

Net income

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company's net income was $641,885, a decrease of $1,144,928 or -64.1% from $1,786,813 for the corresponding period in 2011. Net income as a percentage of revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 0.7% and 3.0% respectively. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of revenue, as described above, was the main contributor to our decreased profitability in the short term as compared to our net income for the same period in the prior year; however, we believe that as we develop our purchasing power and relationships with our suppliers as part of our initiative to further develop our own branded phones, coupled with the returns expected from our previously expended R&D costs, will put our net income on an upward trend in 2012 and beyond.

Other comprehensive income/(loss)

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company's other comprehensive income was $309,578 and $230,269, respectively. Other comprehensive income resulted from foreign currency exchange fluctuations particularly the Renminbi against the USD.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Zoom generally finances its operations from cash flow generated internally, interest-free credit lines in the form of banker acceptances and short-term loans from domestic banks. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents of $484,864 and restricted cash of $9,834,459. Restricted cash is our deposit held as security at banks for the ability to issue twice the amount in interest-free notes for our purchase of production materials. We had cash and equivalents of $1,131,109 and restricted cash of $15,507,408 as of December 31, 2011.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5,073,547 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $7,449,947 for the same period in 2011. In the first three months of 2012, operational source of funds included net decreases in net due from related parties of $9,891,571, reduction in advances to suppliers of $1,548,257, and increases in accruals and other payables of $4,112,188. These increases were primarily partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $3,813,279 and an increase $7,228,591 in other receivables and prepaid expenses.

47


Net cash provided by investing activities was $5,806,704 in the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily attributable to the release of $5,774,768 from restricted cash, and the liquidation of notes receivable in the amount of $594,350. Net cash provided by investing activities in the same period of 2011 was $452,225 primarily derived from $235,112 of cash acquired in the acquisition of CDE and the liquidation of notes receivable for $323,624.

Net cash used in financing activities was $11,523,534 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $2,706,406 sourced in the same period in 2011. The use of cash was primarily attributable to repayment of notes payable and short term loans in the amounts of $9,999,051 and $2,091,669 respectively. The Company also received $937,884 in proceeds from increased short term bank borrowings.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has short-term loan obligations of $25,403,577 with interest rates between 5.00% and 7.93%. In addition, notes payable are secured by our restricted cash deposits at the banks, payable in three to six months and bear no interest. The outstanding balance of notes payable as of March 31, 2012 was $19,637,295.

On a go forward basis over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to continue to rely on short-term loans and restricted cash secured notes to fund its operational cash needs. In the event that expansion or acquisition opportunities exist, we may contemplate additional conventional bank and/or equity financing to take advantage of such opportunities. However, there is no assurance that such opportunities can be found, and if so, whether financing is available at acceptable terms.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2012, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements.

The Company's principal executive and financial officers conclusion regarding the Company's disclosure controls and procedures is based solely on management's conclusion that the Company's internal control over financial reporting are effective.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

48


There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first three months of fiscal 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Leimone (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd ("Leimone Tianjin"), a related party, is currently involved with a dispute with the construction company contracted to build our new manufacturing facility in Tianjin. On August 15, 2011, Leimone Tianjin filed a claim against Henan Urban Construction Group ("HUCG"). The claim is for the termination of the construction contract between Leimone Tianjin and HUCG and claims damages of approximately $1.3 million (RMB 8,072,310) against HUCG. In Leimone Tianjin's court filing, it has accused HUCG of improper use of the funds paid to HUCG by Leimone Tianjin, as a result, construction project has been delayed. HUCG's has claimed as its defense that the delay in construction was a result of poor conditions at the construction site. The outcome of the dispute is still pending decision from the courts from the 2nd Mid-Level People's Court of Tianjin City. The Company is currently unable to determine the probability that it will be successful in this claim. The Company believes the decision by the courts will be issued before the end of third quarter of 2012.

Other than our dispute disclosed above we are not a party to any material legal proceedings nor are we aware of any circumstance that may reasonably lead a third party to initiate legal proceedings against us.
