NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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. 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". 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 sale of TCBD is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2013. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The Company's accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 and 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 through its indirectly held, 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 three months ended March 31, 2013 from continuing
operations included the results of Gold Lion, Silver Tech, Jiangsu Leimone, Zoom Sub, and Portables; results of operations from Ever
Elite, Nollec Wireless, and TCB Digital have been presented as discontinued operations. The Company's condensed consolidated results of
operations for the three months ended March 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. 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 a loss on investment in SpreadZoom for $252,588 for
the three months ended March 31, 2013. Refer to "Note 22 - Equity Method Investee: SpreadZoom" for details. 7
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2013 and for the three
months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2013, its
consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and its consolidated cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 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. 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. 8
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 March 31,
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. 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. 9
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 months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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. 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, 10
(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:

ZOOM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., AFFILIATES & SUBSIDIARIES
MARCH 31, 2013 AND 2012
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.
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.
11
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 March 31, 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.
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.
The basic and diluted loss per common share from continuing operations for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $0.04 and $0.03, respectively. The basic and diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations was $0.01 for the period ended March 31, 2013 and the basic and diluted income per common share from discontinued operations was $0.05 for the period ended March 31, 2012.
12
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:
The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:
Carrying Value |
Active Markets for Identical Assets |
Significant Other Observable Inputs |

Warrants | $ | 7,340 | $ | - | $ | 7,340 | $ | - | ||||
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and trade and bills receivables. As of March 31, 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.
13
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 changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. We will adopt these amendments in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Beijing Leimone Shengtong Wireless Technology Co., Ltd. ("Beijing Leimone") was founded by Gu, the largest shareholder of the Company. Beijing Leimone borrows money from the Company. The borrowings bore no interest and had a maturity of 12 months. The balances are neither collateralized nor personally guaranteed by Gu.
Leimone (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd. ("Tianjin Leimone") was controlled by Gu, the largest shareholder of the Company. Tianjin Leimone sells raw materials to the Company. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the amounts due from Tianjin Leimone of $11,075,639 and $11,034,982 represented advances for purchases arising in the normal course of business for transaction prior to December 31, 2012. The difference in balances between March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, represents the fluctuation of exchange rates between the functional and reporting currency.
Shenzhen Leimone Company, Ltd., formed by individuals including our Chairman, Mr. Gu, is set up with the intention of providing manufacturing services to our Company particularly for exports. $344,414 and $355,564 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was a loan to Shenzhen Leimone for setup costs. Our Chairman, Mr. Gu, plans to personally fund the cost of equipment as his investment into Shenzhen Leimone and become the controlling shareholder of Shenzhen Leimone. The difference in the balances from March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 represents payment made by Shenzhen Leimone to the Company to reduce its outstanding balance.
The amount of $429,877 due from Raja R Amar at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, is related to loans made to Raja R Amar by Portables prior to its acquisition by Zoom. The loans are interest free and are unsecured.
The balance due from SpreadZoom represents an advance to SpreadZoom for it to purchase components to manufacture handsets in the normal course of business. The advance bears no interest, and is uncollateralized. The difference in balances between March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, represents the fluctuation of exchange rates between the functional and reporting currency. Such advances are only expected to occur during these early setup stages of the business because once the company becomes fully capitalized it will have sufficient working capital to procure components, and advances will be reimbursed in to the Company.

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.

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.

NOTE 24 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The sale of Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless closed on April 5, 2013. The sales proceed for the disposition of Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless was $500,000.
The sale of TCBD is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2013.
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 months ended March 31, 2012 for 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 March 31, 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.
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.
32
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$32 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, the Company deployed those funds to SpreadZoom and Tianjin Leimone as detailed in "Note 11 - Related Party Transactions". 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.

The diagram below summarizes our corporate structure as of March 31, 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:
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.
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."
34
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.
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.
35
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.
Results of Operations for the Quarter ended March 31, 2013
Revenues
Our revenues from continuing operations were $7,365,230 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $8,717,105 or 54.2% compared to 16,082,335 in the corresponding quarter in 2012. The decrease in revenues in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the corresponding quarter in 2012 was attributable to both a decline in phone sales as well as commission from activation of lines by Portables. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, Portables derived $2,031,592 from the sale of phones and accessories, and $5,333,638 from activation and reoccurring carrier service fees.
Cost of sales
For the quarter ended March 31, 2013 our cost of sales from continuing operations was $5,893,746 or 80.0% of revenues while cost of sales for the same period in 2012, was $13,338,448 or 82.9% of revenues. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is derived from the slight improvement on the inbound costs of handsets and accessories.
Gross Profit
Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 declined by 46.4% to $1,471,484 compared to $2,743,887 for the corresponding same period in 2012. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2013 was 20.0%, an increase from 17.1% for the same period in 2012. The main reason for the increase in gross margin is correlated with the slight decrease in cost of sales for handsets and accessories.
The sales of mobile handsets and accessories by Portables produced gross margins of 6.8%, while activation and reoccurring carrier service fees provided for 25.0% gross margins during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Gross margins, on weighted average basis for the combined product and services mix derived from Portables was $1,471,484 and $2,743,887, or 20.0% and 17.1% for the quarters ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Operating expenses
Sales, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of compensation for sales personnel, marketing, transportation, administrative personnel, depreciation, travel expenses, rental, materials expenses related to ordinary administration, and fees for professional services; and these were $ 2,098,166 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2,470,904 for the corresponding 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.
36
The Company's non-cash equity-based compensation charges were $193,844 and $434,249
for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The $240,405 decrease, or 55.4%, 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 been accelerated and written off in 2012. Non-cash equity-based
compensation on go forward basis reflect grants and awards that have been issued to personnel still in the service of the Company's
continuing operating entities. Other income/(expenses)-net The Company's other expenses-net were $470,915 and $223,973 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
respectively. These expenses increased primarily as result of the increase in interest expense from $111,117 in 2012 to $219,826 in
2013. Additionally, as a result of the Company's investment in SpreadZoom, the Company recorded a loss of $252,588 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2013. Net (loss) income For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company's net loss was $1,462,505, as compared to net
income of $524,932 for the corresponding period in 2012. The losses incurred in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the profit
shown in the same period in 2012 reflects the Company's recent efforts to reorganize its business and reduce costs. The Company
believes that its efforts to restructure the business will allow the Company to return to profitability in the near future. Other comprehensive income/(loss) For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's other comprehensive income
was $331,873 and $309,578 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 March 31, 2013, the Company had cash and equivalents
of $212,665 and restricted cash of $19,149,140. Restricted cash was part of the funds deposited with the Company for sale to Beijing
Zhumu Culture Communication Company, Ltd. of Profit Harvest, CDE, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, and TCB Digital. We had cash and
equivalents of $430,746 and restricted cash of $19,044,294 as of December 31, 2012. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $2,120,125 compared to
$1,879,333 for the same period in 2012. In the first three months of 2013, operational use of funds included net decreases in accounts
payable and net related party balances of $1,444,778 and $1,521,793, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by
decreases in accounts receivable and inventories of $634,297 and $482,465, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities was $87,563 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to
$111,865 for the same period in 2012 was for the purchase of fixed assets. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,989,574 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as
compared to $1,788,057 in the same period in 2012. The source of cash was primarily attributable to increases in bank borrowings of
$2,500,000 and $1,697,306 for 2013 and 2012 respectively. Contractual Obligations As of March 31, 2013, the Company has short-term loan obligations of $3,600,596 and long term loan
obligations of $1,863,897. On a go forward basis over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to continue to rely on loans and restricted cash 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. 37
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements As of March 31, 2013, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Not applicable. Item 4.

disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived
and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are
met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, Company management necessarily was required to apply its
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure
controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's principal executive and financial
officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of March 31, 2013, 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 2013 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 Mid-Level People's Court of Tianjin City has issued a decision
in the last quarter of 2012 which is acceptable to the Company. HUCG appealed the decision and in the second quarter of 2013, the
Court of Appeals upheld the previous rulings. The Company is awaiting the Court to execute on its ruling. 38
