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, (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, 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; 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 on March 31, 2010
exercised the option to purchase an additional 28.97% of the outstanding capital stock of TCB Digital. 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 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 granting 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. 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. 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 located in Beijing, China (the "Acquisition"). The parties to the Agreement include: (1) Zoom Technologies, Inc.; (2) Silver Tech

founded in June 2007, organized under the laws of the PRC; (5) Key Network Holdings, Ltd. ("KNH"), a BVI company,
owner of 76.8% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech; and (6) Better Day Finance, Ltd. ("BDF"), a BVI company, 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. After
the closing on June 1, 2010, Silver Tech, Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless became wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoom.
We determined that the acquisition of Silver Tech 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. The Subsidiaries Gold Lion was founded by Mr. Lei Gu ("Gu") in September 2002 in the BVI. Pursuant

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%

controlled by Gu and Cao respectively, 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 $4,679,111 (RMB35,306,300). After this
investment was made as of June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu held 36.03% and 15% respectively of TCB

Company issued 2,402,576 common shares to Mr. Gu and his assign as purchase consideration and 60,000 common
shares to an investment banker as compensation for this transaction. This transaction was recorded under SFAS

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 of $4.9 million in the accompanied financial statements. During the three month period ended June 30,
2010, the Company issued 2,462,576 shares. 5

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

Ltd. transferred their 51.03% of TCB Digital to Jiangsu Leimone on December 30, 2008. Because TCB Digital and Profit Harvest were 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
dates the Company acquired control. Acquisition method is used when the Company has actual equity investment in

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.
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.
7
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 $321,776 and $210,773 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (audited), 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 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.
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.
8
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of assets as set out below.

|

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 June 30, 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."
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").
9
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:
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 are recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and is recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.
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 six months ended June 30, 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.
10
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.
The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2010 are as follows:
Carrying value |

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 (See note 14). 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 Credit 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (audited), 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.
11
Noncontrolling Interests
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted 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 in year 2009 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.
In April 2010, the FASB codified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 08-09, "Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition." FASB ASU No. 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. FASB ASU No. 2010-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and is effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on its financial statements on adoption on January 1, 2011.

NOTE 24 — 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and believes its exposure to interest rate risk is not material.

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.
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 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.
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:
a. 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.
b. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
c. 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 are recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and is recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.
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.
33
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 June 30, 2010
Revenues
Our revenues were $42,876,873 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 19% or $10,256,588 as compared to $53,133,461 in the corresponding quarter in 2009. The decrease of revenues in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009 was mainly due to a portion of our activities for our OEM customers had shifted to "consignment manufacturing" where the components were provided to us by the customers and we were not required to purchase such materials. Effects on revenues and profitability under the consignment arrangement would be a) lower revenue figures since there would be no pass-through from the cost of components and revenues would only be the processing fee charged to the customers, b) unaffected earnings since our processing fee is based on the complexity in manufacturing and not directly related to the cost of materials, and c) higher margins. The percentage of "consignment EMS" revenue out of total EMS revenue for the 2nd quarter of 2010 as compared to the previous quarter was 14.2% versus 6.2%. Our revenues for the first six months of 2010 were $93,856,142 or an increase of 15% from $81,950,018 from the same six months of 2009.
In terms of volume, we manufactured 1.73 million pieces of main circuit boards (PCBA) and 1.01 million complete mobile phones in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, which represented sequentially a 17% increase in PCBA and 14% increase in whole phones from activities of the previously quarter this year. The manufacturing volume for the six month period ended June 30, 2010 were 3.22 million and 1.89 million for PCBA and whole phones respectively, representing increases of 262% and 88% for PCBA and whole phones respectively over the corresponding six-month period last year.
In the second quarter of 2010, we sold a total of 56,714 units of our Leimone brand phones of which 10,210 were 3G handsets. Revenues from sales of our own branded products in the second quarter of 2010 totaled $4.48 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, total units of Leimone brand phones sold were 127,783 of which 16,454 were 3G units, bringing in gross sales of $9.11 million. There were no sales of our own brand phone for the corresponding six-month period in 2009.
Cost of sales
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 our cost of sales was $38,297,116 or 89.3% of revenues, while cost of sales for the corresponding quarter in 2009 was $49,973,216 or 94.1% of revenues. The reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a proportionally higher amount of "consignment manufacturing" activities as explained above. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of sales was $85,098,131 or 90.7% of revenues as compared to $76,105,167 or 92.9% of revenues for the corresponding six-month period in 2009.
34
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 rose 45% to $4,579,757 compared to $3,160,245 for the corresponding 2009 quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 2010 was 10.7%, almost doubling the 5.9% for the 2009 quarter. Again, the increase in gross margin was a result of increased "consignment manufacturing" activities as described in the Revenues section above. Another reason for the increase in gross margin is due to the sales of our own branded products which generally carry a higher margin than the EMS activities. Gross profit also increased 9.6% sequentially from $4,178,254 of the previous quarter in 2010.
For the first six months of 2010, our gross profit rose 50% to $8,758,011 from $5,844,851 for the corresponding six months in 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent salaries of sales personnel, and marketing and transportation costs; and such expenses were $69,962 and $114,038 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 respectively, as compared to $304,696 and $1,353,019 for the corresponding periods in 2009. The higher amounts in this category for 2009 resulted from the gearing up of Profit Harvest's in its preparation to make sales in Hong Kong and the southern cities of China to our export customers.
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 $910,422 and $1,815,063 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $116,229 and $903,711 for the corresponding periods in 2009. The increase of such expenses in 2010 was mainly due to legal, accounting and other expenses related to the Company maintaining compliance with the SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations.
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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 were $413,250 and $782,909, respectively. There was no such charge in the comparable periods in 2009.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total operating expenses were $1,393,634 or 3.3% of revenues and $2,712,010 or 2.9% of revenues respectively. These expenses were considerably higher than $420,925 and $2,256,730 for the comparable periods from last year due to the increases in G&A expenses and non-cash compensation charges as described above.
Research and development expense
We did not record R&D expenditures in the second quarter of 2010 as we either built in such charges to our customers or absorbed such costs into our general and administration expenses. Certain R&D costs, directly related to contracts where sales are expected in future periods, are capitalized into construction in progress. See Note 10 of the Accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements.
Other income/(expenses)-net
The Company's other expenses-net were $170,255 and $442,702 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. These expenses were the results of interest expense offset by interest income and also income from various non-recurring activities. Such expenses for the corresponding periods in 2009 were $361,447 and 159,609 respectively.
Net income
For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company's net income from operations was $2,034,648, an increase of $334,923 or 19.7% from $1,699,725 of the corresponding 2009 quarter, and also represented a 7.3% sequential increase from $1,895,702 of the previous quarter in 2010. Net margins, the ratio of net income over revenues, for the second quarters of 2010 and 2009 were 4.75% and 3.25% respectively. The significant increase in net margin was a result of increased "consignment manufacturing" activities as described in the Revenues section above.
35
For the six month period ended June 30, 2010, net income was $3,930,350, an increase of $1,310,253 or 50% from $2,620,097 for the corresponding period last year.
Other comprehensive income/(loss)
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Company's other comprehensive income (loss) was $110,615 and ($961) respectively. Other comprehensive income/(loss) resulted from foreign currency exchange changes particularly the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar. The gain for the second 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.
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 June 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,917,641. This represented an increase of $1,445,341 from $1,472,300 as of December 31, 2009.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $8,398,522 compared to net cash used in operating activities for the 2009 period of $3,337,741.

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.

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.
36
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 of June 30, 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.
