NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS The Acquisition On
September 22, 2009, Zoom Technologies, Inc. ("Zoom", "us", "we", or the "Company"),
pursuant to the share exchange agreement ("SEA") dated January 28, 2009, (amended May 12, 2009) acquired all the
outstanding shares of Gold Lion Holding Limited ("Gold Lion"), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands ("BVI") (the "Merger"). In connection with the SEA, the Company spun off its then-existing business to
its stockholders, by distributing all assets and liabilities of the subsidiary and issuing shares of its then operating subsidiary as a
dividend to its stockholders. The
parties to the SEA were: (1) Zoom Technologies, Inc., (2) Tianjin Tong Guang Group Digital Communication Co., Ltd., ("TCB
Digital") a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China, ("PRC"); (3) Zoom Telephonics, Inc.,
or Zoom Telephonics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zoom; (4) Gold Lion, (5) Lei (Leo) Gu, a citizen of the PRC; and (6) Songtao Du, a
citizen of the PRC. Gold Lion
owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Jiangsu Leimone Electronics Co., Ltd., ("Jiangsu Leimone"), a foreign investment
enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC that engages in the manufacturing, R&D, and sales of electronic components for
3rd generation mobile phones, wireless communication circuitry, GPS equipment, and related software products. Jiangsu Leimone
owned 51.03% of the outstanding stock of TCB Digital. Gold Lion also owns 100% of Profit Harvest Corporation Ltd, ("Profit
Harvest"), a marketing and sales company organized and existing under the laws of Hong Kong. As of the
date of the Merger, Mr. Gu owned 70.6% of the outstanding capital stock of Gold Lion. Mr. Du owned 29.4% of the
outstanding capital stock of Gold Lion, which was pledged to Mr. Wei Cao. On
September 22, 2009, pursuant to the SEA and approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company, the Company acquired
from the Gold Lion shareholders 100% of Gold Lion's outstanding equity for 4,225,219 shares of the Company's common stock. As a
result of this issuance, the former Gold Lion shareholders owned 69.3% of the outstanding stock of the Company and the transaction
was recorded as a reverse acquisition. Prior to the Merger, the Company had 1,980,978 shares outstanding which were recapitalized
as part of the Merger. The Company, which had an option to acquire an additional 29.0% of the outstanding capital stock of TCB
Digital, pursuant to the SEA and the approval of the majority of the stockholders of the Company, agreed to provide the Company the
option in exchange for the 2,402,576 shares of the Company's common stock. As of March 31, 2010, Mr. Gu exercised this option (See
details in Section entitled "The Subsidiaries" below). Simultaneous with the closing of the Merger, the Company issued a dividend of 100% of the issued and
outstanding stock of Zoom Telephonics to the Company's stockholders of record immediately prior to the closing which is referred to
herein as the "spin-off"). In connection with the spin-off, the Company distributed all assets and liabilities related to the
Company to Zoom Telephonics, subject to certain licensing rights discussed below. Zoom's stockholders immediately prior to the
closing of the Merger retained their existing shares in Zoom and also received an equal number of new shares in Zoom Telephonics.
After the Merger and the spin-off, the Company and Zoom Telephonics became independent companies. 7
TCB Digital and Zoom Telephonics entered into a license agreement which granted TCB Digital rights to the
"Zoom" and "Hayes" trademarks for certain products and geographic regions. Zoom and Zoom Telephonics also
entered into a separation and distribution agreement that allocates responsibility for obligations arising before and after the spin-off,
including, among others, obligations relating to taxes. Our former
directors, entered into founder lock-up agreements pursuant to which they agreed that during the one-year period commencing on the
date of closing of the Merger each will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate, in any calendar month, greater than 3% of the
aggregate amount of shares of the Company's common stock sold in the previous four calendar weeks. On June 1, 2010, Zoom pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") dated April 29,
2010, acquired 100% of the shares of Nollec Wireless Company Ltd., ("Nollec Wireless") a mobile phone and wireless communication
design company in Beijing, China (the "Acquisition"). The parties to the Agreement include: (1) Zoom Technologies, Inc.; (2) Silver Tech Enterprises, Ltd. ("Silver
Tech"), a holding company founded in July 2005, organized and existing under the laws of the BVI, which owned 100% of Ever Elite
Corporation, Ltd. ("Ever Elite"); (3) Ever Elite, a holding company founded in June 2007, organized under the laws of Hong Kong, or
HK, which owned 100% of Nollec Wireless; (4) Nollec Wireless, the operating company founded in June 2007, organized under the
laws of the PRC; (5) Key Network Holdings, Ltd. ("KNH"), a BVI company, then owner of 76.8% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech;
and (6) Better Day Finance, Ltd. ("BDF"), a BVI company, then owner of 23.2% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Silver Tech
from KNH and BDF, the existing shareholders of Silver Tech, for $10.96 million, comprised of $1.37 million in cash and 1,342,599 newly
issued unregistered shares of common stock of Zoom valued at $9.59 million at the weighted average closing price of shares for 10
days prior and leading up to the Agreement date. At the closing of the Acquisition on May 31, 2010, the Company issued 1,342,599
shares of its common stock and paid $500,000; the balance of $870,000 in cash will be paid in six equal installments over a period of
three years. As of June 30, 2011, the Company owed three remaining payments of $145,000 each. The Company paid $275,000 in
year 2011 and $137,500 in 2010 and as of June 30, 2012, $290,000 was included in other payables and $145,000 was included in
long-term payables (See Note 19). After the closing of the Acquisition on June 1, 2010, Silver Tech, Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless
became wholly owned subsidiaries of Zoom. The Company determined the Acquisition did not require the preparation and filing of
audited financial statements of Silver Tech under Rule 3-05(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-X. On January 4, 2011, pursuant to a share exchange agreement (the `Share Exchange Agreement") the
Company acquired 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd., ("CDE") a mobile platform video game
development company based in HK. The consideration was $1,818,000 in shares of common stock of the Company; the number of
shares was calculated by dividing $1,818,000 by the higher of i) $3.75 per share or ii) the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of
the Company's shares for the 10 consecutive trading days leading up to the day before the date of the Share Exchange Agreement
which was December 20, 2010. This resulted in the issuance of 484,800 shares of the Company's common stock to acquire CDE. CDE
primarily focuses on development of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms. CDE has developed over
40 titles for the Apple iPhone and is one of the largest developers of iPhone applications in Asia. The Company acquired CDE through
its wholly owned HK subsidiary, Profit Harvest. 8
On
October 11, 2011, the Company and Zoom USA Holdings, Inc., a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Zoom Sub")
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ("Securities Purchase Agreement") to purchase from The Cellular Network
Communications Group, Inc. ("CNCG") a 50% interest in Portables Unlimited LLC ("Portables"), an exclusive wholesale distributor of
T-Mobile products in the United States. As consideration of the 50% interest in Portables, the Company (i) issued 1,494,688 shares of
Zoom common stock (the "Equity Consideration") to the principals of CNCG and (ii) through Zoom Sub, issued a promissory note of
$500,000 payable to CNCG. The promissory note accrues interest at 2% and matures three years from the date of issuance. The
Equity Consideration was to be held in escrow until the date that Portables provided to the Company financial statements for Portables'
third quarter ended September 30, 2011. The financial statements were provided in January 2012 and the stock certificates were
released from escrow. In addition, Zoom Sub purchased an additional 5% interest in Portables for $750,000, to be paid within 30 days
of the closing date, which is currently outstanding. Further, in connection with the transaction, the Company assumed the responsibility
for repaying certain indebtedness owed by Portables to T-Mobile USA, Inc. in the amount of $4,757,187 (the "T-Mobile Indebtedness"),
and agreed to arrange for a $500,000 letter of credit in the name of Portables to secure obligations of Portables to T-Mobile. The
T-Mobile Indebtedness was payable under the following schedule: $2,500,000 was due on November 10, 2011 (the "Initial Payment"),
$1,400,000 was due on December 10, 2011 (the "Second Payment"), and the remaining $853,788 was due on December 20, 2011 (the
"Final Payment"). The Initial Payment and Second Payment were made in a timely manner, and pursuant to an agreement with T-
Mobile the Final Payment was waived. The waiver of the final payment was recognized as other income in 2011 because this
settlement was not a required condition in the Company's acquisition of Portables. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay other
outstanding indebtedness of Portables in the amount of $4,500,000, less the amount of T-Mobile Indebtedness paid off. The Company had previously recognized acquisition payables to Portables in
the amount of $1,350,000 and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations
to T-Mobile. On April 13, 2012, the Company received notice that it was in default on the Securities Purchase
Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company was in default, the Company's ownership
of Portables will be reduced and CNCG will be entitled to enforce certain rescission rights against the Company, as
more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Also, in case of a default, Portables, CNCG and the other
member of Portables may bring claims for indemnification against the Company for a breach under the Securities
Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company's non-payment to
Portables has reduced its percentage of ownership from 55.0% to 50.5%. Portables Unlimited Inc. owns 49.5% of
Portables. As of June 30, 2012, the Company is in dispute with Portables Unlimited Inc. over the Company's
percentage of ownership of Portables. The Company derecognized the $1,350,000 acquisition payable and does not
expect to make payment for that liability. In the event that the Company is not able to maintain its majority ownership of
Portables, the Company would account for its investment in Portables using the equity method of accounting. The
Company was advised that on or about August 14, Portables Unlimited Inc., both individually and derivatively, filed an
action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against the Company, its US subsidiary, and
two officers of the Company. The Complaint seeks damages up to an aggregate amount of $5 million for breach of
contract, and a declaration as to the percentage interest the Company retains in Portables Unlimited, Inc. equal to 46%.
The Company believes that it is entitled to hold 50.5% interest in Portables based on the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement. Once the Complaint is served, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously and to assert
counterclaims that will, in the aggregate, seek a higher damages award than Portables Unlimited, Inc. seeks. On October 26, 2011, the Company closed the sale of 1,676,300 shares of common stock to
Spreadtrum Communications, Inc., ("Spreadtrum") pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") entered into by and among the Company, Spreadtrum and Leo (Lei) Gu (the "Key Stockholder"). In
consideration, Spreadtrum paid $2,900,000. The Company, Key Stockholder and Spreadtrum executed the Purchase
Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Spreadtrum
did not receive any registration rights and no warrants were issued pursuant to the Agreement. Pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to design and develop all applicable Company products to integrate
and operate solely with Spreadtrum's products, and to not design and develop any Company products to integrate or
operate with any Spreadtrum's competitive products for a term of three years from the Purchase Agreement. Also
pursuant to the Agreement, Spreadtrum shall have the right to nominate one nominee to the board of directors of the
Company (the "Nomination Right"), subject to approval of the Company's independent directors, as required under
Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)-Independent Director Oversight of Director Nominations. Spreadtrum's Nomination Right shall
continue until such time that Spreadtrum owns not less than 838,150 shares of the Company's outstanding common
stock. In accordance to the Purchase Agreement, Dr. Leo Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spreadtrum
Communications Inc., was added to our Board of Directors. 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 then outstanding shares of the Company. Through a resolution of the Company
on November 26, 2008, the Company's issued 705 shares to Gu and 294 shares to Mr. Songtao Du ("Du"), resulting in
1,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to a pledge agreement dated November 26, 2008, Du pledged his
294 shares to Cao, including all rights to such shares. As such, Gu and Cao jointly controlled 100% of Gold Lion. On August
2, 2007, Gu founded Profit Harvest in Hong Kong, and in December 2008, 100% ownership of Profit Harvest was transferred to Gold
Lion. Profit Harvest serves two purposes: i) to facilitate the export of the Company's finished goods to international markets, and ii)
trading of components and chipsets for a profit. Pursuant
to the capital injection agreement ("the CIA") by and among Tianjin Communication and Broadcasting Group Co., Ltd.
("TCBGCL"), TCBGCL Labor Union, Hebei Leimone Science and Technology Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Leimone"),
Tianjin 712 Communication and Broadcasting Co., Ltd. ("712"), Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. ("Beijing
Depu") and other natural person shareholders on May 8, 2007 and a resolution of the shareholder's meeting on June 30, 2007,
Hebei Leimone, a company controlled by Gu, acquired 25.1% of TCB Digital from TCBGCL Labour Union and various natural person
shareholders for RMB9,000,000, equivalent to USD $1,286,000. Pursuant to this CIA, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu, the
companies controlled by Gu and Cao, were to invest RMB15,928,700 and RMB10,377,600 respectively in TCB Digital, bringing the
total investment from Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu to USD $4,679,111 (RMB35,306,300). After this investment was made as of
June 30, 2007, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu held 36.0% and 15.0% respectively of TCB Digital, or 51.0% aggregate ownership in
TCB Digital. Pursuant to an agreement dated June 30, 2007, Cao irrevocably pledged his 15.0% interest in TCB Digital through his
ownership in Beijing Depu to Gu for a 29.4% stake in Gold Lion. As of March 31, 2010, Gu exercised his option to transfer an
additional 29.0% of TCB Digital to the Company. The Company issued 2,402,576 common shares to Mr. Gu and his assignees as
purchase consideration and 60,000 common shares to an investment banker as compensation for this transaction. The Company's
ownership interest in TCB Digital was increased to 80% as of March 31, 2010. This transaction was recorded under SFAS No. 160
(Included in ASC 810 "Consolidation") "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements", an amendment of
ARB No. 51, with the excess of fair value of shares over the carrying value of minority interests charged to additional paid in capital.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company issued 2,462,576 shares. 10
On
November 30, 2007, Gold Lion and GD Industrial Company signed a share transfer agreement, pursuant to which, GD Industrial
Company transferred to the Company 60% interest of Nantong Zong Yi Kechuang Digital Camera Technology Co., Ltd. ("Nantong
Zong Yi") for $10,273. In July 2008, Nantong Zong Yi changed its name to Jiangsu Leimone Electronic Co., Ltd. ("Jiangsu
Leimone"). Before the acquisition, Jiangsu Leimone had no operating activities. In January 2008, the Company invested
$5,074,226 (HK$38,800,000) in Jiangsu Leimone to increase the Company's ownership in Jiangsu Leimone to 80%. Pursuant to the
share transfer agreement by and between Gold Lion and Nantong Zong Yi Investment Co., Ltd. dated November 26, 2008, the
Company acquired the remaining 20% of Jiangsu Leimone from Nantong Zong Yi Investment Co., Ltd. for $103,214 (HK$800,000).
After this transaction, the Company owned 100% of Jiangsu Leimone. Pursuant
to the share transfer agreement by and among Hebei Leimone, Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd and Jiangsu Leimone, dated
December 15, 2008, Hebei Leimone and Beijing Depu Investment Co., Ltd. transferred their 51.03% ownership 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, the
Company consolidated their financials at historical cost with the Company from the dates the Company acquired control. TCB Digital is a high technology company engaged in electronic and telecommunication product design,
development, and manufacturing for OEM customers and for our own products under the brand name of "Leimone". TCB

Motorola mobile phones in China. Moreover, TCB Digital was the first EMS factory in China to receive Motorola's International Quality
Product and Qualification certificate. Since 2004, TCB Digital developed and produced GSM and CDMA mobile phones, wireless data
modules and GPS equipment. Beginning in 2009, TCB Digital started to manufacture and market mobile phones under its own brand
name of "Leimone"; and in 2010, its product line also included 3G mobile handsets. TCB Digital is headquartered in Tianjin, China. TCB
Digital's two main business operations are EMS for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers and the design, production and
sale of its own brand mobile phone products. TCB
Digital offers high quality and comprehensive EMS to both domestic and global customers, including, Samsung, Tianyu, CECT,
Danahar and Spreadtrum. TCB Digital's primary products include mobile phones, wireless telecommunication modules, digital cameras,
cable TV set-top boxes and GPS equipment. In addition, TCB Digital has developed various state-of-the-art mobile phones and
Smartphones based on both of the main network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communications, or GSM, and Code Division
Multiple Access, or CDMA, and beginning in 2010 also 3G capable products. Presently, TCB Digital markets its mobile phone products
through distributors in China and also supplies GSM, CDMA and 3G mobile phones to major customers, including China Mobile
Communications Corporation, or CMCC, China UNICOM and China Telecom. Nollec Wireless primarily focuses on R&D of mobile phones, and hardware and software solutions for
domestic Chinese and overseas customers. Its design team includes experienced engineers in the core technologies of wireless
communication and mobile phone development. Nollec provides state of the art industrial, user inter-phase, mechanical and
engineering designs and software and hardware integration. Its clients include certain domestic and international mobile phone
manufacturers including Philips, Lenovo, Sonim, Gionee and Borqs. 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. On September 19, 2011, the Company incorporated Zoom USA Holdings, Inc. ("Zoom Sub"), to
acquire Portables Unlimited. 11
On October 12, 2011, the Company acquired 55% of Portables Unlimited LLC ("Portables"), one of the largest
exclusive wholesale distributors of T-Mobile products in the United States. Portables has direct access to more than 1,000 retail
locations across twenty U.S. States selling T-Mobile products, including approximately 100 exclusive T-Mobile carrier locations. The
Company's percentage of ownership has been subsequently adjusted down to 50.5%. Please see above paragraph regarding the
acquisition of Portables. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The
Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2012 includes the accounts of Gold Lion Holding Ltd, its 100%-
owned subsidiary Profit Harvest which wholly owns Celestial Digital Entertainment, its 100%-owned subsidiary Jiangsu Leimone, which
owns 80% of TCB Digital, its 100%-owned subsidiary Silver Tech, which wholly owns Ever Elite, and Ever Elite's wholly owned
subsidiary Nollec Wireless, and its specifically formed wholly owned Zoom Sub which owned 55% of Portables. Zoom's consolidated
balance sheet as of June 30. 2012 includes the balance sheets of Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech,
Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, CDE, Zoom Sub, and Portables. The consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30,
2012 include Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit Harvest, Silver Tech, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, CDE, Zoom Sub, and
Portables. Portables ownership interest reduced to 50.5% as of June 30, 2012 and its operating results reported accordingly (See Note
1). The consolidated operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 include Gold Lion, TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone, Profit
Harvest, Silver Tech, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, and CDE. Equity Method Accounting In May 2012, the Company invested $12.3 million to establish a new joint venture named
SpreadZoom Technologies Co. Ltd., ("SpreadZoom"). The Company owns 47.4% of SpreadZoom and
accounted for this investment under the equity method of accounting (ASC 323-30). The Company recorded its
investment at original cost. This balance will increase with income and decrease for dividends and losses from the
joint venture that accrue to the Company. SpreadZoom has no operations as of June 30, 2012. Exclusion of Related Party Lessor from Consolidation Portables commencing in January 2009, subleased its principal facility from one of its noncontrolling member. The
member began leasing the facility in December 2005 from a related party, AUM Realty, LLC ("AUM"). The Company's management has
assessed whether AUM should be consolidated pursuant to FASB ASC 810 Consolidations. ASC 810 is not a "rules based" standard
and thereby includes limited circumstances under which it can be conclusively determined whether an entity should be consolidated.
Management believes that AUM is not a variable interest entity ("VIE") as defined in ASC 810 because AUM was adequately
capitalized. Equity contributions from AUM's owners exceeded 20% of the acquisition costs of the property. Management believes that
this is, according to ASC 810 criteria, "sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support." Portables noncontrolling member and the owners of AUM provided guarantees of AUM's Rockland County Industrial
Development Agency ("IDA") supported bank loan. Such a guarantee constitutes a form of "subordinated financial support," which
provides a contrary indication to management's assessment that AUM is not a VIE. Management believes, however, that the
guarantees were not necessary for AUM to finance its activities, and its equity capital was sufficient to support its activities if necessary,
but the guarantees were only required under IDA rules in order to obtain the reduced financing costs of the IDA support. Management
believes that the same is true at June 30, 2012 (See Note 27 for details). Based on this assessment, management believes that AUM is not a VIE and therefore is not consolidated as a
component of these consolidated financial statements. If the matter were to be assessed differently, these consolidated financial
statements would have included AUM's assets (principally land and building), liabilities (principally loan payable) and expenses, with the
excess of AUM's assets over liabilities shown as a "noncontrolling interest". Basis of Presentation The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America ("US GAAP"). For the Company's subsidiaries of JS Leimone, TCB Digital and Nollec Wireless, the functional
currency is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"); the functional currency of Gold Lion, Profit Harvest, silver Tech, Zoom Sub and
Portables is United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"), and the functional currency of Ever Elite and CDE is Hong
Kong Dollars ("HKD"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements were translated and presented in USD. 12
Use of Estimates The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes
these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially
from those results. Risks and Uncertainties The
Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other
risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign
currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets. Comprehensive Income The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", previously
SFAS No. 130, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated
balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. ASC 220
defines comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due
to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders, including adjustments to minimum pension
liabilities, accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities. Foreign
Currency Transactions The
accounts of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are
maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," (codified in Financial Accounting Standards
("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810) with the RMB as the functional currency for the
Chinese subsidiaries. According to SFAS 52, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the date of the balance
sheet; stockholders' equity is translated at historical rates; the line items on the statement of operations are translated at the weighted
average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in
accordance with SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (codified in FASB ASC Topic 220). Gains and losses
resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the income statement. Translations adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity were $2,471,146 and $2,081,429 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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. 13
Accounts
Receivable The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts
receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and
changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Accounts are
written off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur. For the contracted manufacturing activities, our
standard terms for accounts receivable from our customers are between 60 to 75 days from close of the billing cycle; and for sales of
own brand phones our terms include prepaid arrangements and extending receivable to customers up to 60 days. We also offer credit
terms of up to 150 days in our trading activities to a certain customers. As of June 30, 2012, management concluded that the
allowances as accrued and disclosed in Note 4 - Accounts Receivable were adequate to cover any potential unrecoverable balances
as a result of delinquency. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis and includes
all expenditures incurred in bringing the goods to the point of sale and putting them in a saleable condition. In assessing the ultimate
realization of inventories, the management makes judgments as to future demand requirements compared to current or committed
inventory levels. Our reserve requirements generally increase as our projected demand requires; or decrease due to market conditions
and product life cycle changes. The Company estimates the demand requirements based on market conditions, forecasts prepared by
its customers, sales contracts and orders in hand. In
addition, the Company estimates net realizable value based on intended use, current market value and inventory ageing analyses. The
Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of
inventories and their estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Historically, the
actual net realizable value has been close to management's estimate.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property,
plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. All
ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Major renewals and betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not
improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed in the current period. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of assets as set out below. Fixed Asset Class Estimated Useful Lives Machinery and
equipment 4-6
years Electronic
equipment 4-6
years Reconstruction of workshop and
assembling line 5
years Transportation
equipment 4-6
years Capitalized Interest Interest
associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. When no debt is
incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the project using weighted-average cost of the
Company's outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project is substantially complete or development activity
is suspended for more than a brief period. 14
Impairment of Long-lived Assets In
accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment", previously SFAS No. 144, the Company reviews the carrying
values of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, whenever facts and circumstances
indicate that the assets may be impaired. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is considered impaired,
the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value. Assets
to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs of disposal. The Company performed as
annual review of its long-lived assets at December 31, 2011, and management concluded that for year 2011 there was no impairment.
As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012, management did not become aware of events that impaired the carrying value of the
Company's long lived assets. Goodwill The
Company recognizes goodwill for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the business
acquired. ASC 350 "Intangible Assets-Goodwill and Other", previously SFAS No. 142, an impairment test for goodwill is
undertaken by the Company at the reporting unit level annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that
goodwill might be impaired. As of June 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011 the Company recorded impairment of goodwill of $1,033,762 and
$1,033,762 respectively. Revenue Recognition The
Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting
Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605),
"Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered; (iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and, (iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of
loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance
provisions were met. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold,
the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of
value added tax ("VAT"). The
Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits
or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from
customers. 15
The Company's subsidiary, Nollec Wireless is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile

Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.
Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income, and is determined by dividing incurred costs to date by estimated total costs after giving effect to adjustments, if any, in estimates of costs to completion based upon the most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.
Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.
The Company's subsidiary, CDE is in the business of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 985-605-55-125. Cost of Software Development Revenue is accounted for under ASC 985-20 to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed.
CDE capitalizes cost of development of software for hosting purpose in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-40 ("ASC 350-40"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Internal-Use Software (Pre-codification: Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use). As such, CDE expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. Since the inception of CDE, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result all internally used software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
The Company's subsidiary, Portables is in the business of distribution of mobile phone and provision of wireless service. Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon shipment or when purchased at Portables retail locations. Commission income is recognized upon activation of wireless communication services with T-Mobile.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 "Income Taxes", previously SFAS No. 109. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management's opinion; it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
16
Operating Leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing company that do not meet the capitalization criteria of ASC 840 "Leases", previously SFAS No. 13, are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payables under operating leases are expensed on the straight-line basis over the lease term.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are related primarily to the development of cell phone technology, video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", previously SFAS No. 128. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock using the treasury method.
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income (loss) position at the calculation dates.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", previously FAS 157, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:

The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, notes payable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to secure short-term bank loans and notes payable (Note 15). Management estimates the carrying amounts of the non-related party financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, substantially all of the Company's cash and equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and notes receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables.
Notes receivable are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to certain percentage of the notes amount as collateral. These notes receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain an allowance for notes receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.
Non-controlling Interests
The Company follows ASC 810, previously SFAS No. 160 "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-reported in equity" for reporting non-controlling interest ("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reports NCI as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income and comprehensive income attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company also includes a separate column for NCI in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.
18
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", previously SFAS No. 95, cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU provides entities with an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes that it is more than 50% likely that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further analysis is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to determine the FV of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to measure the amount of actual impairment, if any, as currently required under US GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
As of June 30, 2012, there are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Company signed an agreement with Leimone (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd. ("Tianjin Leimone") to construct a manufacturing
plant on June 26, 2010 for $15,063,000 (RMB 99,591,000). The contract included land use rights for 46,021 square meters and space
of 21,029 square meters. At December 31, 2011, the Company had paid to Tianjin Leimone $10,170,809 (RMB 64,734,150). During
the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incorporated a new joint venture, SpreadZoom Technologies Co., Ltd., that will
be the entity to legally hold title to the Company's new factory. The Company believes the valuation of the assets and economic
benefits derived from the Company's ownership via the newly formed entity remained unchanged. See note 28 - SpreadZoom
Investment for details.

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

vesting over the life of the options. On November 28, 2010, the Company's BOD approved re-pricing of the outstanding options from the exercise
price of $6.18 to $3.75 per share. 37
On December 1, 2010, the Company's BOD approved of the granting of 677,000 options to current employees
and executives of the Company, with an exercise price of $3.75 per share, vesting over 3 years and expiration in 3.25 years. On May 22, 2012, the Company issued 302,800 shares of its common stock to its employees, consultants and
directors in replacement for cancelling 1,339,000 outstanding options that were held by the same recipients. The shares have the
same vesting schedule as the options and were valued at $1.12 per share, the closing price on the date of Board Approval. Based on
the difference between the market value of the shares and the Black-Scholes value of the cancelled options as of May 22, 2012, there
is an extra non-cash compensation expense of $25,760 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The following summary represents options activity during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 under the New Plan.

Number Options Outstanding Weighted Options Exercisable Number Exercisable Weighted Average Exercise Price Options 1,810,000 2.96 years $2.97 767,500 $2.74 The Company determined the grant date fair value of 865,000 options of $1.80 per share which was calculated
using the Black Scholes Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $6.18 per share, exercise price of $6.18 per share, expected
life of 3.25 years, volatility of 39.18% and discount rate of 1.26%. For
the re-pricing of the above 865,000 options on November 28, 2010, from the exercise price of $6.18 to $3.75 per share, the Company
determined the incremental fair value of $0.48 per share which was calculated by taking the difference between the Black Scholes
values of the new exercise price and that of the old exercise price. Other data used in the calculations include: the stock market price
of $3.54, expected of 2.28 years, volatility of 33.59% and discount rate of 0.78%. The
Company determined the grant date fair value of 235,000 options of $1.20 per share which was calculated using the Black Scholes
Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $6.18 per share, exercise price of $6.18 per share, expected life of 1.5 years, volatility
of 39.18% and discount rate of 0.78%. For the re-pricing of the above 235,000 options on November 28, 2010, from the exercise price of $6.18 to $3.75 per share, the Company
determined the incremental fair value of $0.26 per share which was calculated by taking the difference between the Black Scholes
values of the new exercise price and that of the old exercise price. Other data used in the calculations include: the stock market price
of $3.54, expected of 0.53 years, volatility of 33.59% and discount rate of 0.28%. 38
The
Company determined the grant date fair value of 677,000 options of $0.74 per share which was calculated using the Black Scholes
Options Pricing Model as follows: Stock price of $3.45 per share, exercise price of $3.75 per share, expected life of 3.25 years, volatility
of 33.42% and discount rate of 0.84%. The Company recorded $191,156 of non-cash compensation expense related to stock options for the quarter
ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, there was $965,680 of non-cash compensation to be recorded up to 2014 based on
options valued at grant date. NOTE 23 - INCOME TAX The Company is subject to income taxes by entity on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which
each entity is domiciled. Zoom Technologies Inc., the parent company was incorporated in the U.S. and has net operating losses
("NOL") for income tax purposes, which can be carried forward for up to 20 years from the year the loss is incurred. Zoom
has NOL carry forwards for income taxes of approximately $10.2 million at June 30, 2012, which may be available to reduce future years'
taxable income. Management believes the realization of benefits from these losses remains uncertain due to Zoom's limited operating
history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided. TCB Digital, Jiangsu Leimone and Nollec Wireless are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning
the private-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial
statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Jiangsu Leimone is exempt from income tax in PRC for two years starting from the first profitable year or the
year 2008, whichever is earlier, and is subject to a 50% exemption on normal income tax rate for the following three
years. Nollec Wireless is exempt from income tax in PRC for two years starting from 2008, and is subject to a 50%
exemption on normal income tax rate for three years starting from 2010 and is subject to normal income tax rate from 2013. Since
Nollec has pre-tax loss for the six months period ended June 30, 2012, the Company's net income and earnings per share had no
effect due to its income tax exemption. Profit
Harvest and CDE are governed by the Income Tax Law of Hong Kong, which is generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 16.5% on
income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. Portables is governed by the Income Tax Law of United States; however, because Portables is a pass through
entity for tax purposes, tax liabilities are the responsibility of its members. Therefore, Zoom Sub, which is responsible to report and
make payments on its portion of income generated by Portables is subject to a statutory tax rate of 34%. TCB
Digital had pre-tax loss of $55,352 and pre-tax profit of $114,730 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively, while
Jiangsu Leimone had pre-tax loss of $128,753 and $727,077 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively, while
Profit Harvest had pre-tax profit of $5,154,344 and $8,177,552 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively, while
Nollec Wireless had pre-tax loss of $1,517,239
and $1,443,556 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, while CDE had pre-tax profit of $93,955 and pre-tax loss of
$69,776 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, while Portables had pre-tax profit of $758,931 for the six months ended
June 30, 2012. 39

Foreign
pretax earnings approximated $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Pretax earnings of a foreign subsidiary are subject
to U.S. taxation when effectively repatriated. The Company provides income taxes on the undistributed earnings of non-U.S.
subsidiaries except to the extent that, such earnings are invested indefinitely outside of the U.S. At June 30, 2012, approximately
$30.57 million of accumulated undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries was invested indefinitely. At the existing U.S. federal
income tax rate, additional taxes of $7.3 million would have to be provided if such earnings were remitted currently. NOTE
24 - STATUTORY RESERVES As
stipulated by the Company Law of the PRC, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been
made for the following: i) Making
up cumulative prior years' losses, if any; ii) Allocations to the "Statutory surplus reserve" of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC
accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital; iii)
Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's "Statutory
common welfare fund", which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the
Company's employees; and Statutory common welfare fund is no longer required per the new cooperation law executed in 2006. iv)
Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders' general meeting. In accordance with Chinese
Company Law, the Company allocated 10% of its net income to surplus. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the
Company appropriated Nil and $3,667 to statutory surplus reserve respectively. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the
Company's statutory surplus reserve was $682,528 and $682,528 respectively. NOTE 25 - CONCENTRATION DISCLOSURE (a)

26 - 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 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. 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.

Corporate Overview
Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us", "our", or "Zoom") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 29, 2002. Until September 22, 2009, our business was the design, production, marketing, sales, and support of broadband and dial-up modems, Voice over Internet Protocol or "VoIP" products and services, Bluetooth® wireless products, and other communication-related products.
On September 22, 2009, the Company consummated a share exchange transaction and acquired all the outstanding shares of Gold Lion Holding Limited ("Gold Lion"), a company organized and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"). In connection with the share exchange transaction, the Company spun off its then-existing business to its stockholders, by distributing and transferring all assets and liabilities to its then subsidiary, Zoom Telephonics, Inc., and issuing shares of its then operating subsidiary as a dividend to its stockholders.
The Company, through Gold Lion, is the owner of 100% of Profit Harvest Corporation Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("Profit Harvest") and through Gold Lion's wholly owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Leimone, is the owner of 80% of TCB Digital, a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The Company's ownership of TCB Digital increased from 51% to 80% when our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lei Gu, through Hebei Leimone Technology Company, Ltd. ("Hebei Leimone"), a company controlled by him, exercised an option to purchase an additional 28.97% of TCB Digital and transferred such ownership to the Company on March 29, 2010. The Company issued 2,402,576 shares of common stock to Hebei Leimone's assignees as consideration for such transfer. Profit Harvest serves as the sales and marketing arm of TCB Digital and Jiangu Leimone serves as a complimentary and supplemental manufacturing arm for TCB Digital. Substantially all of the revenues of Zoom are currently generated by TCB Digital and Profit Harvest, and from June 1, 2010 onwards by Nollec Wireless (see next paragraph), and from October 12, 2011 onwards by Portables Unlimited LLC. Both TCB Digital and Jiangsu Leimone are in the business of manufacturing, research and development, and sales of electronic components for third generation mobile phones, whole phones, wireless communication circuitry, GPS equipment, and related software products.
On June 1, 2010 the Company acquired 100% ownership of Silver Tech Enterprises, Ltd ("Silver Tech"), a BVI holding company which owns 100% of Ever Elite Corporation, Ltd ("Ever Elite"), a Hong Kong holding company, which owns 100% of Nollec Wireless, a mobile phone and wireless communication design company located in Beijing, China, founded in June 2007 and organized under the laws of the PRC. The Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of Silver Tech from its previous owners for $10.96 million, comprised of $1.37 million in cash and 1,342,599 newly issued unregistered shares of common stock of Zoom valued at $9.59 million.
On January 4, 2011, the Company through its wholly-own subsidiary in Hong Kong, Profit Harvest, acquired 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd., ("CDE") a mobile platform video game development company based in Hong Kong. The consideration was $1,818,000 to be divided by the Volume Weighted Average Closing Price of the Company's common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days leading up to the day before the date of this Share Exchange Agreement, or $3.75 per share, whichever is greater. This resulted in the issuance of 484,800 shares to acquire CDE.
45
CDE primarily focuses on development of video games and applications for mobile phones and mobile platforms. CDE has developed over 40 titles for the Apple iPhone and is one of the largest developers of iPhone apps in Asia. The acquisition transaction closed on January 4, 2011, and CDE became a wholly owned subsidiary of Profit Harvest.
On October 12, 2011, the Company and Zoom USA Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Zoom Sub") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to purchase from The Cellular Network Communications Group, Inc. ("CNCG") a 50% interest in Portables Unlimited LLC ("Portables"), an exclusive wholesale distributor of T- Mobile products in the United States. As consideration of the 50% interest in Portables, Zoom (i) issued 1,494,688 shares of Zoom common stock (the "Equity Consideration") to the principals of CNCG and (ii) through Zoom Sub, issued a promissory note of $500,000 payable to CNCG. The promissory note accrues interest at 2% and matures three years from the date of issuance. In addition, Zoom Sub purchased an additional 5% interest in Portables for $750,000. Further, in connection with the transaction, Zoom assumed the responsibility for repaying certain indebtedness owed by Portables to T-Mobile USA, Inc. of $4,757,187 (the "T- Mobile Indebtedness"), and agreed to arrange for a $500,000 letter of credit in the name of Portables to secure obligations of Portables to T-Mobile. The T-Mobile Indebtedness was payable under the following schedule: $2,500,000 was due on November 10, 2011 (the "Initial Payment"), $1,400,000 was due on December 10, 2011 (the "Second Payment"), and the remaining $857,186 was due on December 20, 2011 (the "Final Payment"). The Initial Payment and Second Payment were made timely, and pursuant to the agreement with T-Mobile the Final Payment was waived. Zoom also agreed to pay other outstanding indebtedness of Portables of $4,500,000, less the amount of T-Mobile Indebtedness paid off. Additionally, the Company had previously recognized acquisition payables to Portables in the amount of $1,350,000 and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations to T-Mobile. On April 13, 2012, the Company received notice that it was in default on the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that if the Company was in default, a portion of the Company's ownership of Portables will be transferred to Portables, and CNCG will be entitled to enforce certain rescission rights against the Company, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Also, in case of a default, Portables, CNCG and the other member of Portables may bring claims for indemnification against the Company for a breach under the Securities Purchase Agreement, as more fully described in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company's non-payment to Portables has reduced its percentage of ownership from 55.0% to 50.5%. Portables Unlimited Inc. owns 49.5% of Portables. As of May 15, 2012, the Company is in dispute with Portables Unlimited Inc. over the Company's percentage of ownership of Portables. The Company derecognized the $1,350,000 acquisition payable and does not expect to make payment for that liability. The Company was advised that on or about August 14, 2012, Portables Unlimited Inc., both individually and derivatively, filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against the Company, its US subsidiary, and two officers of the Company. The Complaint seeks damages up to an aggregate amount of $5 million for breach of contract, and a declaration as to the percentage interest the Company retains in Portables Unlimited, Inc. equal to 46%. The Company believes that it is entitled to hold 50.5% interest in Portables based on the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Once the Complaint is served, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously and to assert counterclaims that will, in the aggregate, seek a higher damages award than Portables Unlimited, Inc. seeks.

Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, Zoom, through its operating subsidiaries will continue to execute its business plan by:
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of Zoom's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect its reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Zoom based its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting Zoom's consolidated financial statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments: allowance for doubtful accounts; income taxes; asset impairment.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with US GAAP, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Noted below are brief descriptions of the product or service revenues that Zoom recognizes in the financial statements contained herein.
47
The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605), "Revenue Recognition."
The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:
(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered;
(iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and,
(iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT").
The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from customers.
Company's subsidiary, Nollec Wireless is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile solution R&D business, Nollec Wireless, recognizes revenue under percentage of completion method ASC Topic 605-35-25 (Construction - Type and Production - Type Contracts) when reasonably dependable estimates can be made and in which all the following conditions exist:
Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.
Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income that incurred costs to date divided by estimated total costs after giving effect to estimates of costs to complete based on most recent information. Percentage of completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.
Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the licensees.
In our Portables operations, revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon shipment or when purchased at Company retail locations. Commission income is recognized upon activation of wireless communication services with T-Mobile.
48
Allowance for doubtful accounts
Zoom maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce amounts to their estimated realizable value. A considerable amount of judgment is required when Zoom assesses the realization of accounts receivables, including assessing the probability of collection and the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, an additional provision for doubtful accounts could be required. Zoom initially records a provision for doubtful accounts based on its historical experience, and then adjusts this provision at the end of each reporting period based on a detailed assessment of its accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. In estimating the provision for doubtful accounts, Zoom considers: (i) the aging of the accounts receivable; (ii) trends within and ratios involving the age of the accounts receivable; (iii) the customer mix in each of the aging categories and the nature of the receivable; (iv) its historical provision for doubtful accounts; (v) the credit worthiness of the customer; and (vi) the economic conditions of the customer's industry as well as general economic conditions, among other factors. Management regularly reviews outstanding receivables to determine their recoverability. Zoom regularly reviews the credit policies and procedures of its operating subsidiaries to ensure that procedures are appropriate to the Company's risk management approach as well as the general economic environment.
Income taxes
Zoom accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 (ASC Topic 740), "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management's opinion; it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Zoom adopted FIN 48 (ASC Topic 740), Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions. Zoom engages tax preparers in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates to determine if the Company is both fully compliant with applicable tax laws and is lawfully maximizing tax benefits to the Company.
Asset Impairment
Zoom periodically evaluates the carrying value of other long-lived assets, including, but not limited to, property and equipment and intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Significant estimates are utilized to calculate expected future cash flows utilized in impairment analyses. Zoom also utilizes judgment to determine other factors within fair value analyses, including the applicable discount rate. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has completely written off goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone. During 2011, the Company took 50% impairment charges for goodwill related to its acquisition of CDE. The Company will closely monitor the development and carrying value of CDE on a quarterly basis in 2012 to determine if additional impairment charges will be necessary. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company has not recorded any impairment of goodwill; however, the Company reviewed the current and projected future cash flows of its subsidiaries in concluding no impairment of goodwill was necessary during the period.
Commitments
As detailed in Note 27-Commitments of the accompanying notes to the financial statements, the Company had operating leases commitments for it leased facilities.

Results of Operations for the Quarter ended June 30, 2012
Revenues
The Company's revenues were $98,628,326 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $41,064,061 or 71.3% compared to $57,564,265 in the corresponding quarter in 2011. The increase of revenues in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2011 was mainly attributable to the Company's continued increase in sales of whole phones. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold 3.09 million whole phones, of which 0.82 million units were Leimone brand phones, with 0.17 million units of those phones being 3G handsets compared to 0.89 million whole phones, of which 0.21 million units were Leimone brand phones, with 0.15 million units being 3G, for the same period in 2011. Revenue from sales of the Company's own branded products in the second quarter of 2012 was $36.0 million as compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2011.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, Portables contributed $11,691,462 in revenue, of which $3,548,158 was derived from the sale of phones and accessories, and $8,143,304 was derived from activation and reoccurring carrier service fees.
Cost of goods sold
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012 the Company's cost of goods sold was $90,305,841 or 91.6% of revenues while cost of goods sold for the same period in 2011, was $51,682,375 or 89.8% of revenues. The increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues was mainly due to a highly competitive mobile handset market. As the Company continues to increase its purchasing volume, it expects its bargaining power with suppliers to improve which will lead to lower costs of goods sold on a per unit basis.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased by 41.5% to $8,322,485 compared to $5,881,890 for the corresponding same period in 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 2012 was 8.4%, a decrease from 10.2% for the same period in 2011. Overall dollar amount of gross margins increased during the second quarter of 2012 because revenues grew significantly relative to revenues for the same quarter in 2011. The Company expects gross profit to continue to improve as the Company continues to increase its revenue going forward. The Company also expects gross margin expansion as result of the expected decrease in cost of goods sold on a per unit basis relative to stable sales prices.
The sales of mobile handsets and accessories by Portables produced gross margins of 3.3%, while activation and reoccurring carrier service fees provided for 26.3% gross margins during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Gross margins, on weighted average basis for the combined product and services mix derived from Portables was $2,259,393 or 19.3%.
Operating expenses
Sales and marketing expenses mainly represent salaries of sales personnel, and marketing and transportation costs; such expenses were $302,319 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $179,255 for the corresponding period in 2011. The Company's continued increase in sales activities correlates with our increase in sales and marketing expenses.
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 $4,585,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,663,774 for the corresponding period in 2011. The increase of such expenses in 2012 was due to our inclusion of $1,824,486 of general and administrative expenses generated by Portables, our newly acquired subsidiary, increased overall business activity, and increased costs of legal, accounting and related expenses in order to maintain the Company's compliance with SEC and NASDAQ rules and regulations.
50
The Company's research and development expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were $859,332 and $1,393,511 respectively. These costs were incurred by our Nollec Wireless subsidiary for developmental costs in mobile handset design and software integration. R&D expenditures decreased by $534,179, or -38.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company continues to spend on research and development; however, its spending is focused on the continued development of products on platforms in which Company invested heavily in 2011. Accordingly, the Company expects future R&D expenditures to be steady as percentage of revenue.
The Company's non-cash equity-based compensation charges were $837,310 and $307,469 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The $529,841 increase, or 172.3%, in such expenses during the period represents the Company's investment in human capital for new business development initiatives and retention of key engineers and managers.
Other income/(expenses)-net
The Company's other expenses-net were $568,143 and $194,510 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 respectively. These expenses were the results of interest expense offset by interest income and also income from various non-recurring activities. The primary reason for the increase of 65.4% was primarily attributable to decrease in other income.
Net income
For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company's net income was $419,939 a decrease of $1,075,284 or -71.9% from $1,495,223 for the corresponding period in 2011. Net income as a percentage of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 0.4% and 2.6% respectively. The Company's decreased gross margin as percentage of sales led to lower net profit margins during the quarter. As noted above, the Company expects gross margin to improve moving forward from increased bargaining power with suppliers as a function of expected increases in revenues in the future. Increases in general and administrative expenses are expected to decrease as a percentage of revenue as a result of the Company expectations such costs should scale with the Company's increase revenue in the future. Equity based compensation is expected to remain stable in the future. The Company also believes those that have been incentivized through equity based compensation will help the Company create brand recognition and improved profitability in the future.
Other comprehensive income/(loss)
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company's other comprehensive income was $80,139 and $478,791 respectively. Other comprehensive income resulted from foreign currency exchange fluctuations particularly the Renminbi against the USD.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Zoom generally finances its operations from cash flow generated internally, interest-free credit lines in the form of banker acceptances and short-term loans from domestic banks. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash and equivalents of $5,942,846 and restricted cash of $14,196,046. Restricted cash is our deposit held as security at banks for the ability to issue twice the amount in interest-free notes for our purchase of production materials. We had cash and equivalents of $1,131,109 and restricted cash of $15,507,408 as of December 31, 2011.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $6,781,940 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3,296,519 for the same period in 2011. In the first six months of 2012, operational sources of funds included net decreases in net due from related parties of $26,647,200, reduction in advances to suppliers of $7,545,083, and increases in accruals and other payables of $1,509,985. These increases were primarily partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $20,865,478, an increase of $4,381,831 in inventories. The significant increase in accounts receivable was related to the growth in sales activity by the Company. The Company does not expect difficulties in recovering its receivable as the Company has been successful with collections subsequent to June 30, 2012.
51
Net cash provided by investing activities of $1,895,679 in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to $12,330,651 provided by the Company's subsidiary, TCB Digital, to capitalize SpreadZoom Technologies Co., Ltd. in an equity investment in which TCB Digital will ultimately own 47.37% interest. This amount was offset by the refund of construction deposits for the new factory by Tianjin Leimone, a related party, for the amount of $12,330,651. Cash was also provided to the Company via the release of $1,420,436 from restricted cash, and the maturation and discount of notes receivable in the amount of $1,093,306. Net cash provided by investing activities in the same period of 2011 was $2,603,118 primarily derived from $1,615,628 of funds released from restricted cash and liquidation of notes receivable for $624,341.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3,989,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $761,145 sourced in the same period in 2011. The Company used cash to repay related parties $4,867,558. The Company also repaid $8,131,999 in short term bank borrowings. These amounts were partially offset by proceeds from short term bank borrowing of $7,121,220, and receipt of proceeds from related parties of $5,343,053.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2012, the Company has short-term loan obligations of $25,565,867 with interest rates between 5.00% and 7.93%. In addition, notes payable are secured by our restricted cash deposits at the banks, payable in three to six months and bear no interest. The outstanding balance of notes payable as of June 30, 2012 was $28,231,522.
On a go forward basis over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to continue to rely on short-term loans and restricted cash secured notes to fund its operational cash needs. In the event that expansion or acquisition opportunities exist, we may contemplate additional conventional bank and/or equity financing to take advantage of such opportunities. However, there is no assurance that such opportunities can be found, and if so, whether financing is available at acceptable terms.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2012, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements.

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, 2012, 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 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Leimone (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd ("Leimone Tianjin"), a related party, is currently involved with a dispute with the construction company contracted to build our new manufacturing facility in Tianjin. On August 15, 2011, Leimone Tianjin filed a claim against Henan Urban Construction Group ("HUCG"). The claim is for the termination of the construction contract between Leimone Tianjin and HUCG and claims damages of approximately $1.3 million (RMB 8,072,310) against HUCG. In Leimone Tianjin's court filing, it has accused HUCG of improper use of the funds paid to HUCG by Leimone Tianjin, as a result, construction project has been delayed. HUCG's has claimed as its defense that the delay in construction was a result of poor conditions at the construction site. The outcome of the dispute is still pending decision from the courts from the 2nd Mid-Level People's Court of Tianjin City. The Company is currently unable to determine the probability that it will be successful in this claim. The Company believes the decision by the courts will be issued before the end of third quarter of 2012. As of August 16, 2012, the courts have not yet issued their judgment.
The Company was advised that on or about August 14, Portables Unlimited Inc., both individually and derivatively, filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Nassau against the Company, its US subsidiary, and two officers of the Company. The Complaint seeks damages up to an aggregate amount of $5 million for breach of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement and a declaration as to the percentage interest the Company retains in Portables Unlimited, Inc. equal to 46%. The Company believes that it is entitled to hold 50.5% interest in Portables based on the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Once the Complaint is served, the Company intends to defend itself vigorously and to assert counterclaims that will, in the aggregate, seek a higher damages award than Portables Unlimited, Inc. seeks. For detailed description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, please refer to the section entitled "Corporate Overview"in Item 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations hereof.
Other than our dispute disclosed above we are not a party to any material legal proceedings nor are we aware of any circumstance that may reasonably lead a third party to initiate legal proceedings against us.
