ZOOM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., AFFILIATES & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS
The Acquisition
Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 29, 2002. Until September 22,
2009, the Company was engaged in 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 incorporated in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"), and its subsidiaries Jiangsu Leimone Electronics
Co. Ltd ("Jiangsu Leimone"), Tianjin Tong Guang Group Digital Communication Co., Ltd ("TCB Digital") both incorporated in the (People's
Republic of China, ("PRC"), and Profit Harvest Corporation Limited ("Profit Harvest") incorporated in Hong Kong. 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 subsidiaries of Gold Lion were engaged in the manufacture design, sale and manufacture of mobile devices and handsets in China.
On June 1, 2010, Zoom pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated April 29, 2010, acquired 100% of the shares of Silver Tech
Enterprises Ltd, incorporated in the BVI and its wholly owned subsidiaries Ever Elite Corporation Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong, and
Nollec Wireless Company Ltd., ("Nollec Wireless"), incorporated in the PRC. Nollec Wireless is engaged in mobile phone and wireless
communication device design.
On January 4, 2011, pursuant to a share exchange agreement, the Company via Profit Harvest acquired 100% ownership of Celestial
Digital Entertainment, Ltd., ("CDE") a mobile platform video game development company based in Hong Kong.
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"), one of the largest wholesale distributors and
direct retailers of T-Mobile products in the United States. Subsequent to the purchase of the 50% stake in ownership from CNCG, the
Company increased its stake in Portables to 50.1% by injecting additional capital.
As of August 19, 2013, the Company is in default of the promissory note for $2,000,000 owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. The Company
is working with Portables Unlimited, Inc. to cure its default. If the Company is not able to cure the default, the Company's ownership interest
could pass to Portables Unlimited, Inc.
6
Disposition
On December 31, 2012, Zoom Technologies, Inc. ("Zoom" or the "Company") entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA")
with Beijing Zhumu Culture Communication Company, Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), a PRC company that provides services to the
telecommunication industry. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to sell (the "Subsidiary Sale") to the Purchaser all the equity interests
the Company holds in its China based subsidiaries (except for SpreadZoom Technologies Co., Ltd. ("SpreadZoom") as mentioned below),
which include 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Ever Elite Corporation Limited, an intermediary holding company incorporated in
Hong Kong, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Nollec Wireless Company ("Nollec"), 80% of the outstanding equity interest of Tianjin
Tongguang Group Digital Communication Company, Ltd. ("TCBD"), 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Profit Harvest Corporation, Ltd.
("Profit Harvest"), and 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd. ("CDE"). As consideration for the
Subsidiary Sale, the Purchaser agreed to pay to the Company RMB 200 million (approximately US$31.7 million) (the "Purchase Price"),
subject to adjustment pending an appraisal by an independent third party appraiser. The Company on October 24, 2012 received
approximately $12.6 million (RMB 80 million) less and bank charges; the Company on November 5, 2012, received $19.1 million (RMB 120
million) less transaction fees and bank charges. As of the date of this current report, the Purchaser has remitted the entire amount of RMB
200 million to the Company. A portion of the funds, approximately RMB 80 million, was released to the Company to use; accordingly, in the
normal course of business, the Company deployed those funds to SpreadZoom and Tianjian Leimone as detailed in "Note 11 - Related Party Transactions".
The RMB 80 million released from escrow was a negotiated amount between the Company and the Purchaser.
Upon the final closing of the Subsidiary Sale, which will occur 30 days after the Company receives all the requisites corporate
and regulatory approvals with respect to the Subsidiary Sale, the balance of the escrowed funds will be released to the Company.
The Company's ownership interest in SpreadZoom, which owns and operates mobile phone manufacturing facilities in Tianjin, is not part
of the Subsidiary Sale. In addition, the Company will, through Portables Unlimited, LLC, its U.S. based subsidiary, continue to operate the
wholesale distributor business for T-Mobile products and services in the United States. The Company may make contracts with the Purchaser
for future businesses.
The closing of the sale of Profit Harvest and CDE occurred on December 31, 2012; the closing of the sale of Ever Elite and Nollec
occurred on April 5, 2013

The Company's accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012, include the accounts of Gold Lion Holding
Ltd and its wholly owned subsidiary Jiangsu Leimone, its 100%-owned subsidiary Silver Tech, and its specifically formed, wholly owned
subsidiary, Zoom Sub which accounted for its ownership of Portables as 50.1%, as continuing operations. The Company's condensed
consolidated balance sheet also included the accounts of TCB Digital for which the Company owns 80% indirectly held through Jiangsu
Leimone, 100% of Ever Elite which wholly owns Nollec Wireless, indirectly held through Silver Tech, all of which have been classified as
discontinued operations held for sale.
The Company's condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from continuing operations
included the results of Gold Lion, Silver Tech, Jiangsu Leimone, Zoom Sub, and Portables; results of operations from Ever Elite and Nollec
Wireless, up to the date of their disposition, and TCB Digital have been presented as discontinued operations. The Company's condensed
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended June 31, 2012 from continuing operations included the results of Gold Lion,
Silver Tech, Jiangsu Leimone, Zoom Sub, and Portables; results of operations from Profit Harvest, CDE, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, and
TCB Digital have been presented as discontinued operations.
7
Equity Method Accounting
In May 2012, the Company invested $12.3 million to establish a 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). Refer to "Note 22 - Equity Method Investee: SpreadZoom" for details.
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." Management believes that the same is
true at June 30, 2013 (See "Note 21 - Commitments" for details).
Based on this assessment, management believes that AUM is not a VIE because the Company does not make decisions that have
significant impact on the performance of AUM; therefore, it 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 "non-controlling
interest". AUM guarantees $1.7 million of the $3 million line of credit with M&T Bank for Portables Unlimited, LLC.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The functional currency of the Company's continuing operation Jiangsu Leimone and its equity
investment SpreadZoom is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The functional currency of the Company's continuing operations Portables and
Zoom Sub is United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"). The functional currency of the Company's discontinued operations, TCB Digital and Nollec
Wireless is the RMB. The functional currency of the Company's discontinued operations Ever Elite and CDE is Hong Kong Dollars ("HKD").
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated and presented in the reporting currency of USD.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and
2012 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2012, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the
Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2013, its consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June
30, 2013 and 2012, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, as applicable, have been made. The
interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed 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.
8
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", 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 Translation
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 Financial Accounting
Standards ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810 with the RMB as the functional currency for the Chinese
subsidiaries. According to ASC 810, 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 FASB
ASC Topic 220. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the income
statement.
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, Hong Kong and the United States.
Cash accounts in China and Hong Kong are not insured or otherwise protected. Should any bank or trust company holding cash deposits
become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose the cash on deposit with that particular
bank or trust company.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of
accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and
changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Accounts are written
off against the allowance when it becomes evident collection will not occur. For the contracted manufacturing activities, our standard terms for
accounts receivable from our customers are between 60 to 75 days from close of the billing cycle; and for sales of own brand phones our
terms include prepaid arrangements and extending receivable to customers up to 60 days. We also offer credit terms of up to 150 days in our
trading activities to a certain customers. As of June 30, 2013, management concluded that the allowance for doubtful accounts, as disclosed
in "Note 5 - Accounts Receivable" was adequate to cover any potential unrecoverable balances as a result of delinquency.
9
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.
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. See
"Note 8 - Property, Plant and Equipment" for details.
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. There have not been material amounts of capitalized interest for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2013.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment", 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 last performed annual reviews of its long-lived assets at December
31, 2012 and 2011. In 2012, the Company determined that certain fixed assets and goodwill were impaired based on the disposal of certain
operations. The Company has determined there have not been any triggering events during the six months ended June 30, 2013 that would
require the Company to perform review for impairment of its 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", 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. The Company
recorded impairment of goodwill related to the following subsidiaries: Jiangsu Leimone, CDE, and Silver Tech. See "Note 3 - Merger and
Acquisitions" for details.
10
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales in accordance with 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.
The Company's discontinued operation, Nollec Wireless is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile solution R&D
business, Nollec Wireless, recognizes revenue under the percentage of completion method ASC Topic 605- 35-25 (Construction - Type and
Production - Type Contracts) when reasonably dependable estimates can be made and all the following conditions exist:
- 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.
- The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
- The contractor can be expected to perform all contractual obligations.
Estimates of cost to complete is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to reflect new information. When the current estimates
of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made.
Income is recognized as the percentage of estimated total income, and is determined by dividing incurred costs to date by estimated total
costs after giving effect to adjustments, if any, in estimates of costs to completion based upon the most recent information. Percentage of
completion is based on labor hours incurred to date divided by total estimated labor hours for the contract.
Royalty income on sales of licensed products by its customers is recorded when the customers report sales to the Company. Royalty
income is reported monthly and recorded in the period in which the product is sold. The Company has the right to audit the books of the
licensees.
The Company's discontinued operation 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.
11
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. 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.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is
more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The
second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company
classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that the Company anticipates payment (or receipt) of cash within
one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income
taxes. There were no uncertain tax positions in 2012 and 2011. The Company's evaluation of uncertain tax positions was performed for the
tax years ended December 31, 2009 and forward, the tax years which remain subject to examination as of June 30, 2013.
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", 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 (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". 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.
12
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. When the
Company's results from operations are a net loss, dilutive securities are not included in diluted loss per share because they would be
considered anti-dilutive.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for
disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the
balance sheets for current receivables and payables qualify as financial instruments. Management concluded the carrying values are a
reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected
realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available. The three levels are defined as follows:
- Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
- Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are
observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
- Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of June 30, 2013 and
December 31, 2012 are as follows:

The Company's financial instruments include cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivables, other
receivables, accounts payable, notes payable, and warrants. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of high rated money market funds
at a variety of well-known institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Restricted cash represents time deposits on account to
secure short-term bank loans and notes payable. Management estimates 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 for reporting non-controlling interest ("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reports NCI as
a separate component of 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.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", 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

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued amendments under ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of
Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments require an entity to provide
information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required
to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under
U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under
U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under
U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company will adopt these amendments in the fourth quarter of
2013.
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a
subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation
adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which
the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The Company will adopt these amendments in 2014. The Company has not yet determined if
there will be material impacts on its financial statements upon adoption.

Maximum Eligibility Date (as defined in the agreement); provided, however, that such date shall be extended indefinitely if the warrant cannot

until the warrant can be exercised in full by the holder without breaching the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the agreement) or

in the Company's future financings.
Series F Warrants: The Series F warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 and a term of 5 years from the issue date. The

22
Series G Warrants: The Series G warrants shall have an exercise price of $4.71 and a term of 5 years from the issue date.
Anti-dilution Adjustments for Certain Warrants: Since the private placement in November 2010 involved sales of the Company's stock at a
price that activated anti-dilution provisions in the Series A, C, F and certain placement agent warrants, the exercise price of these warrants is
adjusted to $3.74 per share and the number of warrants eligible is multiplied by a factor of 6 / 3.74 or 1.60 with fractional shares rounding up.

The Company has accounted for all of the outstanding Series A, C, F, G, and related placement warrants as liabilities. The Company
assessed the value of these warrants by using the binomial lattice model. When the Company valued the warrants it used the following
assumptions as part of inputs into the valuation model. US treasury rates as measure of the risk free rate of return. The Company also used
the mean of the annualized standard deviation of the log normal returns of comparable companies in the same line of business as measure of
volatility. The Company controls whether dilution may occur, so it did not add additional assumptions regarding dilutive events into the future
discrete outcomes found in the model. The warrants values were adjusted for the dilutive effect as ratio of the outstanding common stock at
the time of measurement. In determining the probabilities of an up movement or down movement in the discrete outcomes, as well as the
related magnitude of such up or down movements, the Company used a Cox-Ross-Rubenstein approach in applying the binomial lattice
model.

NOTE 17 - 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 $2.20 million and $1.38 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which may be available to reduce future years'
taxable income. Management believes the realization of benefits from these losses remains uncertain due to Zoom's limited operating history
and continuing losses. Accordingly, a 100% deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided.
The discontinued operations of TCB Digital and Nollec Wireless, and the continuing operation of Jiangsu Leimone 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. 2012, is the last year that Jiangsu
Leimone will afforded the 50% exemption from PRC incomes taxes.
SpreadZoom in subject to 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 profit that is reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
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.
Nollec had pre-tax loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company's net income and earnings per share had no effect due
to its income tax exemption.
The discontinued and disposed operations 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 graduated statutory tax rate of 34%.
U.S. NOL carryforwards are only those arising after September 22, 2009, which was the date when a more-than-50% ownership change
occurred.

NOTE 20 - OPERATING RISK
The industry in which we compete is a rapidly evolving, highly competitive and fragmented market driven by consumer
preferences and quickly evolving technology. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margin and loss of market
share. Failure to compete successfully against current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
operating results and financial condition.
The Company 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 s
Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into
PRC. Additionally PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating
to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be
affected.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Company's
future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates.
The Company had outstanding warrants that are accounted for as derivative securities. Their values are re-measured at each reporting
period. The quoted U.S. treasury rates with the maturities similar to those of the warrants are used as inputs in calculating their value;
accordingly, the value of the warrants, are subject to fluctuations interest rates.

Beginning January 1, 2009, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with its member on a month-to-month basis for this
property.
The Company also leases two other warehouses and 13 retail stores and kiosks. These leases require monthly payments and expire at
various dates through 2017. The Company has operating agreements in place with the all of the retail stores and kiosks whereby

NOTE 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As of August 19, 2013, the Company is in default of the promissory note for $2,000,000 owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. The
Company is working with Portables Unlimited, Inc. to cure its default. If the Company is not able to cure the default, the Company's
ownership interest could pass to Portables Unlimited, Inc.
NOTE 25 - CORRECTION OF ERROR FOR ACCOUNTING OF WARRANTS AS DERIVATIVE SECURITIES
Zoom management discovered during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that in accordance with ASC 815 (formerly EITF
07-5) the Company had incorrectly accounted for warrants issued in the years 2009 and 2010 as equity. Series A, C, F, and related
placement agent warrants contained anti-dilution provision that according to the above guidance required that these derivative securities be
accounted for as liabilities and marked to market at each reporting period. The Series G, and related placement agent warrants
contained change of control provisions that required that the warrants be accounted for as liabilities because the securities were no longer
indexed to the Company's stock; rather there were characteristics that required them to be accounted for as standalone securities that are
considered liabilities to the Company. As a result the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 have been
restated as follows:

The Company assessed the value of these warrants by using the binomial lattice model. When the Company valued the warrants it used
the following assumptions as part of inputs into the valuation model: US treasury rate of 0.34% as a measure of the risk free rate of return.
The Company also used the mean of the annualized standard deviation of the log normal returns of comparable companies in the same line
of business as measure of volatility which was 44.42% at June 30, 2012. The Company controls whether dilution may occur, so it did not add
additional assumptions regarding dilutive events into the future discrete outcomes found in the model. The warrants values were adjusted for
the dilutive effect as ratio of the outstanding common stock at the time of measurement. In determining the probabilities of an up movement
or down movement in the discrete outcomes, as well as the related magnitude of such up or down movements, the Company used a Cox-Ross-Rubenstein
approach in applying the binomial lattice model.
These corrections will be made to applicable prior period financial information in future filings with the SEC including this filing.

Corporate Overview
Zoom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") 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.
Zoom's Operations in China
The Company, through Gold Lion, was the owner of 100% of Profit Harvest Corporation Ltd., a company organized under the
laws of Hong Kong ("Profit Harvest"), which owns 100% ownership of Celestial Digital Entertainment, Ltd., a mobile platform video game
development company based in Hong Kong. The Company, through Gold Lion's wholly owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Leimone, was the owner
of 80% of TCB Digital, a company organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). Both TCB Digital and Jiangsu
Leimone were in the business of manufacturing, research and development, and sales of electronic components for third generation mobile
phones, wireless communication circuitry, GPS equipment, and related software products.
The Company also held 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 ("Nollec"), a mobile phone and
wireless communication design company located in Beijing, China.
34
On October 26, 2011, the Company closed the sale of 1,676,300 shares of common stock to Spreadtrum Communications, Inc.,
("Spreadtrum") in consideration of $2,900,000, pursuant to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") entered into
by and among the Company, Spreadtrum and Leo (Lei) Gu (the "Key Stockholder"). 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 Purchase Agreement, Spreadtrum has 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, was added to our Board of Directors. Dr. Li resigned from our Board and
Spreadtrum has appointed Mr. Chin Hung (James) Lo effective May 27, 2013.
In May 2012, the Company and Spreadtrum Communications (Tianjin) Co, Ltd formed a joint venture in Tianjin City, China, named
SpreadZoom Technologies, Inc. ("SpreadZoom"), of which the Company holds 47.4% ownership. In connection with the joint venture, the
Company contributed a manufacturing facility valued at approximately $11 million into SpreadZoom. SpreadZoom's business is focused on
manufacturing and sales of mobile phones containing certain chipset products of Spreadtrum.
Subsidiary Sale
On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with Beijing Zhumu Culture
Communication Company, Ltd. (the "Purchaser"), a PRC company that provides services to the telecommunication industry. Pursuant to the
SPA, the Company agreed to sell (the "Subsidiary Sale") to the Purchaser all the equity interests the Company holds in its China based
subsidiaries (except for SpreadZoom as mentioned above), which include 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Ever Elite and its wholly
owned subsidiary Nollec, 80% of the outstanding equity interest of TCB Digital, 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Profit Harvest, and
100% of the outstanding equity interest of CDE. As consideration for the Subsidiary Sale, the Purchaser agreed to pay to the Company RMB
200 million (approximately US$31.7 million) (the "Purchase Price"), subject to adjustment pending an appraisal by an independent third party
appraiser. As of the date of this report, the Purchaser has remitted the entire amount of RMB 200 million to the Company to use; accordingly,
in the normal course of business, a negotiated smount of RMB 80 million of funds was released from escrow to the Company that was
deployed to SpreadZoom and Tianjin Leimone as detailed in "Note 11 - Related
Party Transactions" as agreed by the Purchaser.
Upon the final closing of the Subsidiary Sale, which will occur 30 days after the Company receives all the requisites
corporate and regulatory approvals with respect to the Subsidiary Sale, the balance of the escrowed funds will be released to the Company.
As of the date of this quarterly report, the transfer of ownership of Profit Harvest, Nollec Wireless and CDE has been completed.
Zoom's Operation in the U.S.
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.
As of the date of this quarterly report, the Company's and Portables
35
Unlimited, Inc.'s ownership interests in Portables are 50.1% and
49.9%, respectively. The Company is currently in default of a promissory note owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. If the Company is unable to
cure the default, the Company's ownership in Portables could be transferred to Portables Unlimited, Inc., and the Company could be potentially
subject to a loss in the range of $5.0 million to $9.0 million.
Our principal executive offices are located in the People's Republic of China at Sanlitun SOHO, Building A, 11th Floor, No.8 Workers
Stadium North Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China 100027; our telephone number is 86-10-5935-9000. Our U.S. office is located at

The diagram below summarizes our corporate structure as of June 30, 2013:
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, Zoom, together with its subsidiaries, expects to take the following steps in connection with the
development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
- Zoom will continue to service its licensed wholesale distribution service for T-Mobile USA.
- Zoom will be negotiating with North American and European companies that have potential synergies with Zoom's business activities for
acquisition purposes.
36
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of Zoom's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States ("US GAAP") requires it to make estimates and judgments that affect its reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Zoom based its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from current
expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting Zoom's consolidated financial
statements, we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:
allowance for doubtful accounts; income taxes; asset impairment.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with US GAAP, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the service is performed, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Noted below are brief
descriptions of the product or service revenues that Zoom recognizes in the financial statements contained herein.
The Company recognizes sales in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin
("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (FASB ASC Topic 605), "Revenue Recognition."
The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:
(i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(ii) delivery has occurred or services were rendered;
(iii) the price to the customer is fixed or determinable and,
(iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the
customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and
the type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT").
The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers.
Deposits or advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from
customers.
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.
37
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 has 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 December 31, 2012, the Company has completely written off goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone,
Silver Tech, and CDE.
Commitments
As detailed in Note 20 - Commitments of the accompanying notes to the financial statements, the Company had operating leases
commitments for it leased facilities.
38
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended June 30, 2013
Revenues
Our revenues from continuing operations were $6,764,881 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $4,926,581 or
42.15% compared to $11,691,462 in the corresponding quarter in 2012. The decrease in revenues in the second quarter of 2013 compared
to the corresponding quarter in 2012 was attributable to change in the phone plans and service plans sold by Portables as a result of
T-Mobile USA change in business strategy. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Portables derived $1,913,263 from the sale of phones
and accessories, and $4,851,619 from activation and reoccurring carrier service fees compared to $3,548,158 and $8,143,304 for the same period in 2012.
Cost of sales

cost of sales for the same period in 2012, was $9,432,110 or 80.7% of revenues. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues is related to the change in the business strategy by T-Mobile USA which has altered Portables' business.

increase from 19.3% for the same period in 2012. The main reason for the increase in gross margin is correlated with the change in business
strategy by T-Mobile USA.

service fees provided for 45.5% gross margins during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

period in 2012. The decrease in such expenses in 2013 was due to the Company's cost cutting measures in the first quarter of 2013 which
included reductions in employees.
The Company's non-cash equity-based compensation charges were $ 451,821 and $837,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2013,
and 2012, respectively. The $385,489 decrease, or 46.0%, is a result of the discontinuance of certain operations. Non-cash equity-based
compensation issued to consultants and employees providing services to operations the Company has or is in the course of disposing have
