NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PROPOSED BUSINESS OPERATIONS The Acquisition On September 22, 2009, Zoom Technologies, Inc. ("Zoom or the "Company"), pursuant to
the share exchange agreement dated January 28, 2009, (and later amended on 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"). 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 of the subsidiary and issuing shares of its then operating
subsidiary as a dividend to its stockholders. The parties to the share exchange agreement 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, research and
development, 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 capital stock of TCB Digital; until March 31, 2010
when Mr. Gu, the Chairman & CEO of the Company, exercised his option to purchase an additional 28.97% of TCB Digital and
transferred such ownership to the Company and resulted in an increase in our Company's ownership of TCB Digital to 80%. 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. Mr. Gu owned 70.6% of the outstanding capital stock of Gold Lion and held an option indirectly to acquire
an additional 28.97% of the outstanding capital stock of TCB Digital, which he exercised as of March 31, 2010. 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 share exchange agreement and the approval of the majority of the
stockholders of the Company, the Company acquired from the Gold Lion shareholders 100% of Gold Lion for 4,225,219 shares of
Company common stock. As a result of this issuance, the former Gold Lion shareholders owned approximately 69.3% of the
outstanding stock of the Company and the transaction was recorded as a reverse acquisition. Prior to the reverse acquisition, the
Company had 1,980,978 shares outstanding which were recapitalized as part of the reverse acquisition. Mr. Gu, who holds an
option to acquire an additional 28.97% of the outstanding capital stock of TCB Digital, pursuant to the share exchange agreement and
the approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company, agreed to provide Mr. Gu the option to exchange the additional
28.97% interest in TCB Digital for an additional 2,402,576 shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2010, Mr. Gu exercised this option
(See Subsidiary details). Simultaneous with the closing of the merger, the Company issued a dividend of 100% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Zoom Telephonics to its stockholders of record immediately prior to the closing. We refer to this as the "spin-off".
In connection with the spin-off, the Company distributed all of its current and future assets and liabilities related to Zoom to
Zoom Telephonics, subject to certain licensing rights discussed below. Zoom's stockholders immediately prior to the closing 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. 4
TCB Digital and Zoom Telephonics entered into a license agreement granting TCB Digital licensing rights for
"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. 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 that each will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate, in any calendar
month, greater than 3% of the shares of our common stock sold in the previous four calendar weeks. The Subsidiaries Gold Lion was founded by Mr. Gu Lei ("Gu") in September 2002 in the BVI. Pursuant to an
agreement dated June 30, 2007, Mr. Cao Wei ("Cao"), purchased from Gu 29.4% of the 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. Du Songtao ("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 control 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. Pursuant to the capital injection agreement ("the Agreement") by
and among Tianjin Communication and Broadcasting Group Co., Ltd. ("TCBGCL"), TCBGCL Labour 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 25.13% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL Labour Union and various natural
person shareholders for RMB9,000,000, approximately $1,286,000. Pursuant to this Agreement, Hebei Leimone and
Beijing Depu, the companies controlled by Gu and Cao respectively, were to invest additional RMB15,928,700 and
RMB10,377,600 respectively in TCB Digital, bringing the total investment from Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu to
$4,679,111 (RMB35,306,300). After this additional investment was made as of June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone and
Beijing Depu held 36.03% and 15% respectively of TCB Digital, or 51.03% ownership in TCB Digital. Pursuant to an
agreement dated June 30, 2007, Cao irrevocably pledged his 15% interest in TCB Digital through his ownership in
Beijing Depu to Gu in exchange for a 29.4% stake in Gold Lion. As of March 31, 2010, Gu exercised his option to
transfer an additional 28.97% of TCB Digital to the Company. The Company will issue 2,402,576 common shares to Mr.
Gu as purchase consideration and 60,000 common shares to an investment banker as compensation cost as part of this
transaction. This transaction will be 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 will be charged to additional paid in capital.
The Company's ownership interest in TCB Digital is increased to 80% as at March 31, 2010. The Company recorded the
value of shares to be issued as part of this transaction amounting to $4.9 million in the accompanied financial
statements. On November 30, 2007, Gold Lion and GD Industrial Company signed a share transfer agreement, pursuant to
which, GD Industrial Company transferred 60% of Nantong Zong Yi Kechuang Digital Camera Technology Co., Ltd. ("Nantong
Zong Yi") for $10,273 to the Company. 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).
After this transaction, the Company owned 100% of Jiangsu Leimone. Pursuant to the share transfer agreement by and among Hebei Leimone, Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd and
Jiangsu Leimone dated December 15, 2008, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. transferred their 51.03% of TCB
Digital to Jiangsu Leimone on December 30, 2008. Because TCB Digital and Profit Harvest are under common control with the Company since July 2007 and
August 2007, respectively, we combined their financials at historical cost with the Company from the date the Company acquired
control. Acquisition method is used when the Company has actual equity investment in TCB Digital and Profit Harvest. TCB Digital is a high technology company engaged in electronic and telecommunication product design,
development, and manufacturing. TCB Digital started its business in 1999 and was originally established as an Electronic
Manufacturing Service (EMS) factory for mobile phone vendors. TCB Digital was Motorola's first independent outsource manufacturing

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gold Lion Holding Ltd, its 100%-owned
subsidiary Profit Harvest, its 100%-owned subsidiary Jiangsu Leimone and its 80%-owned joint venture TCB Digital as of and
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2007, Gu and Cao jointly acquired 51.03% equity of TCB Digital through
Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu respectively, and Gu controlled 100% of Profit Harvest in 2007. As Gu and Cao transferred their

transferred to Gold Lion on December 22, 2008, and Gu exercised the option to acquire 28.97% equity of TCB Digital on March 31,
2010, the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2010 include the consolidation of balance sheets at March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 and operating results for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone
and Profit Harvest. Basis of Presentation The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The Company's functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi
("RMB"); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in United States
Dollars ("$"). 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 adopted 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. 6
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 on the
balance sheet date, stockholders' equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items 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 consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and were $211,161 and $210,773 as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively. Cash and Cash 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's policy is to maintain 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. The
allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $18,911 & $18,908 respectively. 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. 7
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. Estimated Useful Life
Machinery and equipment 4-6 years Electronic equipment 4-6 years Reconstruction of workshop and assembling line 5 years Transportation equipment 4-6 years 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.
For 2009, the Company performed an annual impairment review of long-lived assets and concluded that there was impairment loss for
long-term investments of $65,816. 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did
not incur any impairment loss for goodwill. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
and SAB No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." 8
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. 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. 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 recognized as expenses on the straight-line basis over the lease term. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs during
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $0 and $0 respectively. 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. 9
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. The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of
March 31, 2010 are as follows: Carrying value as Active markets Significant other Significant 2010 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Cash and cash equivalents $ 334,784 $ 334,784 - - Restricted cash $ 12,975,234 $ 12,975,234 - - The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable,
notes receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, and convertible 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. Management estimates that
the carrying amounts of the non related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Concentration of Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, substantially
all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, 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. 10
Noncontrolling Interests Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 810, previously SFAS No. 160
"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-reported in equity" for reporting noncontrolling interest
("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reported NCI as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company reported the portion of net income and comprehensive income
(loss) attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company also
included a separate column for NCI in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. All related disclosures were adjusted
accordingly. Prior year amounts associated with NCI in the financial statements and accompanied footnotes have been retrospectively
adjusted to conform to the adoption.
Noncontrolling interest includes a credit of $567,481 representing its share of increase in additional paid in capital as a result
of certain expenses paid by an entity related to the Company's principal shareholder on behalf of the Company.
Statement of Cash Flows In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", previously AFAS 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 On February 25, 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 Subsequent Events Topic 855 "Amendments to
Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements," effective immediately. The amendments in the ASU remove the requirement
for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial
statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective
application of US GAAP. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC's literature. The adoption of
this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. On March 5, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11 Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815 "Scope
Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives." This ASU clarifies the guidance within the derivative literature that exempts
certain credit related features from analysis as potential embedded derivatives requiring separate accounting. The ASU specifies that
an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial
instrument to another is not subject to bifurcation from a host contract under ASC 815-15-25, Derivatives and Hedging - Embedded
Derivatives - Recognition. All other embedded credit derivative features should be analyzed to determine whether their economic
characteristics and risks are "clearly and closely related" to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and
whether bifurcation is required. The ASU is effective for the Company on July 1, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this
ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. NOTE 3 - MERGER AND ACQUISITION The Company acquired 60% equity in Jiangsu Leimone on November 30, 2007. As of November 30, 2007,
the net assets of Jiangsu Leimone were Nil. The purchase consideration was $10,273 which was higher than 60% of total net assets of
Jiangsu Leimone and resulted in goodwill of $10,273. On January 1, 2008, the Company invested $4,972,466 (HK$38,800,000) in
Jiangsu Leimone. After this investment, the net assets of Jiangsu Leimone were $4,976,051 and the Company owned 80% of Jiangsu
Leimone. The fair value of the 80% of equity interest of Jiangsu Leimone Electronic Co., Ltd on January 1, 2008 was $3,981,085. The
agreed purchase consideration was $4,972,466 (HK$38,800,000) which was higher than 80% of total net assets of Jiangsu Leimone
and resulted in goodwill of $991,381. The Company acquired the remaining 20% of equity of Jiangsu Leimone on November 30, 2008.
As of November 30, 2008, the net assets of Jiangsu Leimone were $5,001,783 and therefore 20% of total assets of Jiangsu Leimone
were $1,000,357. The agreed purchase consideration was $101,760 which was lower than 20% of total net assets of Jiangsu Leimone
and resulted in negative goodwill of $898,597. Therefore, the total goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone was
$103,057. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, goodwill amounted to $103,057 and $103,057 respectively. 11
The following table summarizes goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone: November 30, 2007 $ 10,273 January 1, 2008 991,381 November 30, 2008 (898,597)
Total goodwill $ 103,057 The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from

NOTE 20 - OPERATING 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.
The Company can not guarantee the Renminbi and US dollars 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 US dollars. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without notice.
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.
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, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.

was the sole owner of one issued and outstanding share of common stock. Through a resolution of Gold Lion on November 26,
2008, Gold Lion issued 705 shares to Gu and 294 shares to Mr. Du Songtao, resulting in a total of 1,000 issued and outstanding
shares of common stock. Pursuant to a pledge agreement dated November 26, 2008, Du pledged his 294 shares to
Mr. Cao Wei, with all rights to such shares including voting rights. Consequently, Gu and Cao jointly control 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 is engaged in sale of mobile phone products and components to retailers and
other wholesalers. Pursuant to a capital injection agreement (the "Agreement") by and among Tianjin Communication and
Broadcasting Group Co., Ltd. ("TCBGCL"), TCBGCL Labour Union, Hebei Leimone Science and Technology Co., Ltd.("Hebei
Leimone"), Tianjin 712 Communication and Broadcasting Co., Ltd.("712"), Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. 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 25.13% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL Labour Union and various natural person shareholders for cash
consideration of RMB9,000,000. Pursuant to this Agreement, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd., a company
controlled by Cao, were to invest additional RMB15,928,700 and RMB10,377,600 respectively in TCB Digital, bringing the total
investment from Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd to $4,679,111 (RMB35,306,300). After this additional investment
was made as of June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu held 36.03% and 15% equity interests respectively of TCB
Digital, a total of 51.03% ownership in TCB Digital. Pursuant to an agreement dated June 30, 2007, Cao irrevocably pledged his 15%
equity interest in TCB Digital to Gu in exchange for a 29.4% stake in Gu's company. TCB Digital is mainly engaged in research
& development, processing, manufacturing, servicing and marketing of mobile handsets, electronic products and communication
equipment. On November 30, 2007, Gold Lion and GD Industrial Company signed a share transfer agreement pursuant to
which GD Industrial Company transferred 60% equity of Nantong Zong Yi Kechuang Digital Camera Technology Co., Ltd. for $10,273
to Gold Lion. In July 2008, the company's name was changed to Jiangsu Leimone Electronic Co., Ltd., or Jiangsu Leimone. In January
2008, Gold Lion invested $5,074,226 (HK$38,800,000) in Jiangsu Leimone to increase Gold Lion'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, Gold Lion acquired the remaining 20% equity interest of Jiangsu Leimone from Nantong Zong Yi Investment Co., Ltd. for
cash consideration of $103,214 (HK$800,000). After this transaction, Gold Lion obtained 100% ownership of Jiangsu Leimone. Jiangsu
Leimone is engaged in the R&D and production of electronic assemblies, 3G mobile handsets, wireless communication modules,
GPS receivers and computer software. 27
Pursuant to the share transfer agreement by and among Hebei Leimone, Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd and
Jiangsu Leimone dated December 15, 2008, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. transferred their 51.03%
equity interest of TCB Digital to Jiangsu Leimone on December 30, 2008. Increased ownership in TCB Digital Plan of Operation During the next twelve months, Zoom, together with Gold Lion and its subsidiaries, expects to take the
following steps in connection with the development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
Planned Acquisition of Leimone Culture
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of Gold Lion'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. Gold Lion 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 Gold Lion's consolidated financial statements; Gold Lion believes the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments: allowance for doubtful accounts; income taxes; asset impairment.
28
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 Gold Lion recognizes in the financial statements contained herein.
Sale of goods
Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of Gold Lion exists and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advances from customers.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Gold Lion maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when Gold Lion 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. Gold Lion 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, Gold Lion 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.
Income taxes
Gold Lion accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "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. Gold Lion adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions.
Asset Impairment
Gold Lion 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. Gold Lion also utilizes judgment to determine other factors within fair value analyses, including the applicable discount rate. The Company's long-term investment of $65,816 in Tianjin Tong Guang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. ("TTGM") was entirely impaired as of December 31, 2009.
Results of Operations for the Quarter ended March 31, 2010
Revenues
Our revenues were $50,979,269 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 77% or $22,162,712 compared to $28,816,557 in the corresponding period in 2009. The increase of revenues in 2010 as compared to 2009 was mainly due to increase in orders from our domestic EMS customers and also increase in the sales of our own branded phones. In the first quarter of 2010, we sold a total of 71,069 units of our Leimone brand phones of which 6,244 were 3G handsets. Revenues from sales of our own branded products in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $4.63 million while that for the same period a year ago was insignificant.
29
Cost of sales
For the first quarter of 2010, our cost of sales was $46,801,015 or 91.8% of revenues, while cost of sales for the corresponding period in 2009 was $26,131,951 or 90.7% of revenues. Our competitive pricing for the contract manufacturing was instrumental in capturing significantly increased business activities.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 rose 56% to $4,178,254 compared to $2,684,606 for the 2009 quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2010 was 8.2%, compared to 9.3% for the 2009 quarter and 6.0% for the whole year of 2009. The reasons for the increase in gross margins for the first quarter of 2010 over that for the year 2009 are: a) the demand for EMS services has increased from last year and pricing of our processing fess has been relaxed, and b) sales of our own branded products generally carry a higher margin than the EMS activities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent salaries of sales personnel, and marketing and transportation costs; and this was $44,076 for the first quarter in 2010 compared to $1,048,323 for the 2009 period. This expense has been relative stable compared to the 4th quarter of 2009. The higher amount in the first quarter of 2009 was a result of the gearing up of Profit Harvest's in its preparation to make sales in Hong Kong and the southern cities of China.
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 this was $904,641 for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $787,482 for the same 2009 period.
Non-cash compensation charges include stock option charges based on a Black-Scholes pricing model and values of common stock issued to consultants for services. Such charges for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 were $369,659 and $0, respectively.
For the first quarter of 2010, total operating expenses were $1,318,376 or 2.6% of revenues, which was a decrease of $517,429 from $1,835,805 and a reduction from 6.4% of revenues for the 2009 period. This was a result of management's continued emphasis on cost control and operational efficiency.
Research and development expense
We did not record R&D expenditures in the first quarter of 2010 as we either built in such charges to our customers or absorbed such costs into our general and administration expenses.
Other income/(expenses)-net
The Company's other expenses-net was $272,447 for the first quarter of 2010, was mainly comprised of interest expense of $257,626. For the corresponding 2009 period, other income-net was $175,958 mainly included interest expense of $320,907 offset by interest income of $154,170 and a non-recurring debt relief of $425,038.
Net income
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company's net income from operations was $1,895,702 or an increase of $1,004,370 or 113% compared to $891,332 for the 2009 period. Net margins, the ratio of net income over revenues, for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 were 3.8% and 3.1% respectively.
Other comprehensive income
For the first quarter of 2010, the Company's other comprehensive income was $388 compared to $16,660 for the 2009 period. Other comprehensive income in 2010 and 2009 resulted from foreign currency exchange changes particularly the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. This gain for the first quarter of 2010 can result in a loss in future periods if the trend in the exchange rate of the Reminbi to the U.S. dollar reverses.

On going forward basis over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to continue to rely on short-term loans to fund its operational cash needs. The Company may also contemplate one or more equity fundraises for its expansion needs, provided that conditions of the capital market allow for financing at acceptable terms.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2010, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including, without limitation, that such information is accumulated and communicated to Company management, including the Company's principal executive and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, Company management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's principal executive and financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of December 31, 2009, and based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company's disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 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 ineffective as identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 continues to be ineffective as
31
of March 31, 2010. In connection with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on management's identification of the material weaknesses as follows:
Management will continue to evaluate the material weaknesses identified above and have already engaged Sarbanes Oxley compliance consultants to identify the areas of weakness and to suggest remedial measures.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.
