NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF 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, (amended May 12, 2009) acquired all the outstanding
shares of Gold Lion Holding Limited ("Gold Lion"), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands ("BVI"). In connection with the share exchange, 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 resulting 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 his option to purchase an additional 29.0% 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 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 held an option to acquire an additional 29.0% 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 29.0% interest in TCB Digital for 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.
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. 6
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.; Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of
Silver Tech from KNH and BDF, the existing shareholders of Silver Tech, for $10.96 million, comprised of $1.37 million in cash
and 1,342,599 newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of Zoom valued at $9.59 million at the weighted average
closing price of shares for 10 days prior and leading up to the agreement date. At the closing of the acquisition on May 31,
2010, the Company issued 1,342,599 shares and paid $500,000; the balance of $870,000 in cash will be paid in six

included in other payables and $580,000 included in long-term payables. After the closing on June 1, 2010, Silver Tech,
Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless became wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoom. We determined 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. On January 4, 2011, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd.,
("CDE") a mobile platform video game development company based in Hong Kong. The consideration paid was
$1,818,000 in common shares of the Company, and the number of shares was calculated by dividing the consideration amount
by the higher of i) $3.75 per share or ii) the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the Company's shares for the 10
consecutive trading days leading up to the day before the date of the Share Exchange Agreement which was December 20,
2010. This resulted in the issuance of 484,800 shares to acquire CDE. CDE primarily focuses on development of video games
and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms. CDE has developed over 40 titles for the Apple iPhone and is one of
the largest developers of iPhone applications in Asia. The Company's wholly-own subsidiary in Hong Kong, Profit Harvest,
was the acquiring entity. The Subsidiaries Gold Lion was founded by Mr. Lei Gu ("Gu") in September 2002 in the BVI. Pursuant to an
agreement dated June 30, 2007, Mr. Wei Cao ("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. Songtao Du ("Du"), resulting in 1,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to a
pledge agreement dated November 26, 2008, Du pledged his 294 shares to Cao, including all rights to such shares. As such,
Gu and Cao jointly 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 the marketing arm of the company particularly for exports and
subassemblies. Pursuant to the capital injection agreement ("the CIA") by and among Tianjin

and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Leimone"), Tianjin 712 Communication and Broadcasting Co., Ltd.
("712"), Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. ("Beijing Depu") and other natural person shareholders on
May 8, 2007 and a resolution of the shareholder's meeting on June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone, a company controlled by Gu,
acquired 25.1% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL Labour Union and various natural person shareholders for RMB9,000,000,
equivalent to $1,286,000. Pursuant to this CIA, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu, the companies 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 36.0% and 15.0% respectively of TCB Digital, or 51.0% ownership in TCB Digital.

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 29.0% of TCB Digital to the Company. The Company issued 2,402,576 common shares to Mr. Gu and his
assignees as purchase consideration and 60,000 common shares to an investment banker as compensation for this
transaction. The Company's ownership interest in TCB Digital was increased to 80% as at March 31, 2010. This transaction
was recorded under SFAS No. 160 (Included in ASC 810
7
"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 was charged to additional paid in capital. During the three month period ended June 30, 2010, the
Company issued 2,462,576 shares. On November 30, 2007, Gold Lion and GD Industrial Company signed a share transfer agreement,
pursuant to which, GD Industrial Company transferred 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

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

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

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 year ended December 31, 2010 and 100%-owned subsidiary Silver Tech as of and for the seven
months ended December 31, 2010. As of January 4, 2011, the Company completed its 100% acquisition of Celestial Digital
Entertainment. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2011 include the balance sheets at March 31,
2011 of TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech and CDE, and balance sheets at December 31, 2010 of TCB
Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest and Silver Tech; the consolidation of operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 of TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech and CDE. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). For the Company's operating subsidiaries of JS Leimone,
TCB Digital and Nollec Wireless, the functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"); the functional currency
of Profit Harvest is United States Dollars ("USD" or "$") and the functional currency of
Ever Elite and CDE is Hong Kong Dillars ("HKD").
However the accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in USD. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time
the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results. Risks and Uncertainties The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated
with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer
requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets. Comprehensive Income The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income",
previously SFAS No. 130, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and
accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC 220 defines comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements
of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to
stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized
gains or losses on marketable securities. Foreign Currency Transactions The accounts of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of
the U.S. parent company are maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," (codified in
Financial Accounting Standards ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810) with
the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese subsidiaries. According to SFAS 52, all assets and liabilities were
translated at the exchange rate 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. 9
Translations adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive
income in the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity were $1,214,584 and $964,206 as of March 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively. Cash and Equivalents For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on hand and in banks,
including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with various banks and trust
companies located in China. Cash accounts are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company
holding cash deposits become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose
the cash on deposit with that particular bank or trust company. Accounts Receivable The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management
reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit
worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these
reserves. Accounts are written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur.
For the contracted manufacturing activities, our standard terms for accounts receivable from our customers are between 60 to 75
days from close of the billing cycle; and for sales of own brand phones our terms include prepaid arrangements and extending
receivable to customers up to 60 days. We also offer credit terms of up to 150 days in our trading activities to a certain customer.
As of March 31, 2011, management concluded that no additional reserves need to be made. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis
and includes all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In
assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements
compared to current or committed inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand
requires; or decrease due to market conditions and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand
requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand. In addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value
and inventory ageing analyses. The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory
equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future
demand and market conditions. Historically, the actual net realizable value has been close to management's estimate. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain
or loss in the year of disposal. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts
while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed
in the current period. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of assets as set out below. Machinery and equipment 4-6 years Electronic equipment 4-6 years Reconstruction of workshop and assembling line 5 years Transportation equipment 4-6 years 10
Capitalized Interest Interest associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the
cost of the project. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the
project using weighted-average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the
project is substantially complete or development activity is suspended for more than a brief period. Impairment of Long-lived Assets In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment", previously SFAS No. 144,
the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible
assets, whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and
used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value, less costs of disposal. The Company performed annual reviews of long-lived assets and
management concluded that for year 2010 there was no impairment. 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
the Company did not record any impairment of goodwill. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605), "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and, (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title
and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that
customer acceptance provisions were met. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of
products sold, the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced
value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT"). The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash
redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of
title of goods are recorded as advanced from customers. 11

ZOOM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., AFFILIATES & SUBSIDIARIES
MARCH 31, 2011 AND 2010
Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.
Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income, and is determined by dividing incurred costs to date by estimated total costs after giving effect to adjustments, if any, in estimates of costs to completion based upon the most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.
Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.
The Company's subsidiary, CDE is in the business of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985- 605-55-125. Cost of Software Development Revenue is accounted for under ASC 985-20 to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed.
CDE capitalizes cost of development of software for hosting purpose in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-40 ("ASC 350-40"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software (Pre-codification: Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use). As such, CDE expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. Since the inception of CDE, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result all internally used software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
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 expensed on the straight-line basis over the lease term.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are related primarily to the development of cell phone technology, video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
12
Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", previously SFAS No. 128. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculation dates.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", previously FAS 157, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:
• Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
• Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of March 31, 2011 are as follows:
Carrying value |

2011 |

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable (Note 14). Management estimates the carrying amounts of the non related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
13
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the Company's cash and 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.
Non-controlling Interests
The Company follows ASC 810, previously SFAS No. 160 "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-reported in equity" for reporting non-controlling interest ("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reports NCI as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income and comprehensive income attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company also includes a separate column for NCI in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", previously SFAS No. 95, cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 did 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 adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13 Compensation - Stock Compensation Topic 718 "Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (a consensus of the FASB EITF)". The amendments in ASU 2010-13 clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades, should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. FASB ASU No. 2010-13 is effective for fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
14
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Topic 350 "When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB EITF)". The amendments in ASU 2010-28 modify Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts by requiring an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. FASB ASU No. 2010-26 is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 Business Combinations Topic 805 "Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations (a consensus of the FASB EITF)". The amendments in ASU 2010-29 specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 also expands supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in reported pro forma revenue and earnings. FASB ASU No. 2010-29 is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2011.
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01 Receivables Topic 310 "Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No 2010-20". The amendments in ASU 2011-01 apply to all public-entity creditors that modify financing receivables within the scope of the disclosure requirements about troubled debt restructurings (TDR) in ASU 2010-20. These amendments temporarily delay the effective date of disclosures about TDRs required under ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 are effective immediately. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02 Receivables Topic 310 "A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring". The amendments in ASU 2011-02 provide additional guidance to clarify when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) in order to address current diversity in practice and lead to more consistent application of U.S. GAAP for debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist:
1. The restructuring constitutes a concession.
2. The debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.
The amendments to Topic 310 clarify the guidance regarding the evaluation of both considerations above. Additionally, the amendments clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor's guidance on restructuring of payables (paragraph 470-60-55-10) when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. ASU No. 2011-02 is effective for fiscal year beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 25 — OPERATING RISK a. Industry risk The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving, highly competitive and fragmented
market driven by consumer preferences and quickly evolving technology. Increased competition may result in price reductions,
reduced gross margin and loss of market share. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. b. Exchange risk The Company cannot guarantee the Renminbi and USD exchange rate will remain steady,
therefore the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods and post higher or lower profit depending on
exchange rate of Renminbi and USD. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic
environments without notice. c. Political risk Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in
order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United
States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC
government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected. d. Interest risk The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from
time to time. The Company's future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates. The Company
does not have any derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and believes its exposure to interest
rate risk is not material. NOTE 26 — COMMITMENTS Operating lease commitments The Company has an operating lease for TCB Digital's premises through TCBGCL, a common
shareholder of TCB Digital; pursuant to this lease, the rate of rent is at Rmb 8 per square meter per month for production
facilities and dormitory space. The Company also has an operating lease in Beijing for office space shared with Nollec
Wireless, with rent at Rmb 137 per square meter per month for 1,409 square meters and with rent at Rmb 131 per square
meter per month for 388 square meters. The Company has an operating lease in
Hong Kong for the office of CDE, rental and property management fees are HKD10,588 and HKD3,402 respectively per month.

of Gold Lion on November 26, 2008, Gold Lion issued 705 shares to Gu and 294 shares to
Mr. Songtao Du, 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. Wei Cao, 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

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.

June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone, a company controlled by Gu, acquired 25.1% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL
Labour Union and various natural person shareholders for RMB9,000,000. Pursuant to this CIA, 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 36.0% and 15.0% equity interests respectively of TCB Digital, a total of
51.0% ownership in TCB Digital. Pursuant to an agreement dated June 30, 2007, Cao irrevocably pledged his 15.0%
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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of the Company'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.
The Company 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 the Company's
consolidated financial statements, the Company 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 Zoom
Technologies recognizes in the financial statements contained herein. 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 the Company 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. The Company's subsidiary, Nollec Wireless, is in the mobile phone design, software integration
and mobile solution R&D business, Nollec Wireless, recognizes revenue under 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, and is
determined by dividing incurred costs to date by estimated total costs after giving effect to adjustments, if any, in
estimates of costs to completion based upon the most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor
hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract. Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers 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. The Company's subsidiary, CDE is in the business of video games and
applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Revenue is recognized in accordance with
ASC 985-605-55-125. Cost of Software Development Revenue is accounted for under ASC 985-20 to be sold, leased or otherwise
marketed. CDE capitalizes cost of development of software for hosting purpose in accordance with ASC
subtopic 350-40 ("ASC 350-40"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software (Pre-codification:
Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or
Obtained for Internal Use). As such, CDE expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and
implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance. Costs incurred in the
development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. Since the inception of CDE, the
amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result all internally used software
development costs have been expensed as incurred. 35
Allowance for doubtful accounts Zoom Technologies maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their
estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when the Company 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. The Company 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, the Company 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 The Company 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. The Company adopted
FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions. Asset Impairment The Company 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. The Company also utilizes judgment to determine other factors within fair
value analyses, including the applicable discount rate. Results of Operations for the Quarter ended March 31, 2011 Revenues Our revenues were $58,611,686 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, an increase of
15.0% or $7,632,417 compared to $50,979,269 in the corresponding quarter in 2010. The increase of revenues in the
first quarter of 2011 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2010 was mainly due to the sales of our own
"Leimone" brand mobile phones. In the first quarter of 2011, we sold 201,700 units of our Leimone brand
phones of which 164,102 were 3G handsets. Revenues from sales of our own branded products in the first quarter of
2011 were $13.57 million, or an increase of 195% over the three-month period in 2010 where total units
of Leimone brand phones sold were 71,069 of which 6,000 were 3G units, bringing in gross sales of $4.6 million. Our revenues other than Leimone brand phone sales for the first three months of 2011 were
$45.04 million or a slight decrease of 2.9% from $46.38 million of the first three months in 2010. In quantities, we manufactured 1.11 million pieces of main circuit boards (PCBA) and 0.81 million
complete mobile phones in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to 1.43 million pieces of PCBA and 0.95
whole phones from the first quarter of 2010. 36
Cost of goods For the quarter ended March 31, 2011 our cost of goods was $52,262,817 or 89.2% of
revenues, while cost of goods for the corresponding quarter in 2010 was $46,801,015 or 91.8% of revenues. The
reduction in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to our own Leimone brand phones which
carry a higher gross margin than the EMS activities. Gross Profit Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 rose 52.0% to $6,348,870 compared
to $4,178,255 for the corresponding 2010 quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2011
was 10.8%, an increase from 8.2% for the 2010 quarter. The main 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. Selling, general and administrative expenses Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent salaries of sales personnel, and
marketing and transportation costs; and such expenses were $208,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2011
compared to $44,076 for the corresponding period in 2010. The higher amounts in this category for
2011 resulted from the significantly increased activities in the sales of our own brand products and also for support of
our export business. 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 $1,266,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $904,641 for
the corresponding period in 2010. The increase of such expenses in 2011 was mainly due to legal, accounting and
other expenses related to the Company maintaining compliance with the SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $1,635,204 and $0 respectively. Such costs in the first
quarter of 2011 were incurred by our R&D subsidiary, Nollec Wireless, to gear up for the introduction of new and
more advance series of products later on this year. 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 months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010 were $307,469 and $369,659 respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, total operating expenses were $3,417,403 or 5.8%
of revenues compared to $1,318,376 or 2.6% of revenues in the 2010 period. These expenses were higher this year
mainly due to increases in R&D expenses described above. Other income/(expenses)-net The Company's other expenses-net were $344,663 and $272,447 for the three months
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. These expenses were the results of interest expense offset by interest
income and also income from various non-recurring activities. Net income For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company's net income was
$1,786,813, a decrease of $108,889 or 5.7% from $1,895,702 for the corresponding 2010 quarter. Net income over
revenues, for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 were 3.0% and 3.7% respectively. The significant increase in
R&D expenditures, as described above, decreased our income from operations and resulted in lower net income
compared to the same period last year. 37
Other comprehensive income/(loss) For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company's other
comprehensive income was $230,269 and $388 respectively. Other comprehensive income resulted from
foreign currency exchange changes particularly the Renminbi against the USD. The gain for the first quarter of 2011 can
result in a loss in future periods if the trend in the exchange rate of the Reminbi to the USD 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 March 31, 2011, the
Company had cash and equivalents of $2,083,812 and restricted cash of $13,588,802. Restricted cash is our deposit
held as security at banks for the ability to issue twice the amount in interest-free notes for our purchase of production
materials. We had cash and equivalents of $6,374,103 and restricted cash of $13,503,122 as of December 31,
2010. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $7,449,947
compared to net cash used in operating activities for the 2010 period of $1,147,778. In the first three months of 2011,
operational use of funds included an increase in accounts receivable of $22,243,148, and an increase to related parties
of $10,873,705; offset by a reduction in advances to suppliers of $21,638,900, an increase in accounts payable of
$341,051 and advance from customers of $241,831, and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of

proceeds from notes payable of $1,960,199, while offset by repayments on short-term loans of $13,165,517, repayment
on related parties borrowings of $10,074,820, and advance to related parties of $3,637,028; resulting in net cash
provided by financing activities of $1,007,608. Contractual Obligations As of March 31, 2011, the Company has short-term loan obligations of
$24,591,791 with interest rates between 6.67% to 8.40%, and a long term loan outstanding balance of $17,654 with
interest rate at 6.24% and long term acquisition payable of $580,000. Notes payable are secured by our restricted
cash deposits at the banks, payable in three to six
months and bear no interest. The outstanding balance of notes payable as of March 31, 2011 is $25,479,064. On going forward basis over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to continue to rely on short-term
loans and restricted cash secured notes to fund its operational cash needs. In the event that expansion or acquisition
opportunities exist, we may contemplate additional conventional bank and/or equity financing to take advantage of such
opportunities. However, there is no assurance that such opportunities can be found, and if so, whether financing is
available at acceptable terms. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2011, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements. 38
Item 3. Controls and Procedures (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information

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 March 31, 2011, and based on this
evaluation, the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were 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 effective. (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 three months of fiscal 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
