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 July 15, 2013, the Company was in default of the promissory note for $2,000,000 owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. The promissory
note was collateralized by the Company's ownership percentage in Portables. . As of the date of this report, the Company does not believe it
is able to recover its control and investment. As a result, Zoom ceased to have a controlling interest in Portables and did not retain an
investment in it on the date of default, _July 15, 2013, accordingly, the Company deconsolidated Portables' financial statements and
recognized a loss of approximately $8.73 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 which includes a complete write off of its
investment in Portables as of September 30, 2013. However, the Company may decide pursue legal remedies in the future if the Company
deems such as action as necessary. The Company has reclassified all results of operations related to Portables prior to the write off as
discontinued operations. Assets and liabilities related to Portables in comparative financial statements have been reclassified to assets and
liabilities of discontinued operations.

Dispositions
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 "Prepaid 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 has not completed the sale of TCB Digital as of the date of this report. The Company is currently
unable to set a definitive date to the completion of the sale. TCB Digital results of operations continue to be report under discontinued
operations.
As disclosed above, as of November 18, 2013, the Company has written off its investment in Portables Unlimited, LLC.

The Company's condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 from continuing
operations included the results of Gold Lion, Silver Tech, Jiangsu Leimone, Zoom Sub; 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 results of operations of Portables, up to
June 30, 2013, which was the last date when financial information was available, has been presented as discontinued operations. The Company's
condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 from continuing operations included the
results of Gold Lion, Silver Tech, Jiangsu Leimone, Zoom Sub; results of operations from Profit Harvest, CDE, Ever Elite, Nollec Wireless, TCB
Digital, and Portables have been presented as discontinued operations.
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 $3 million line of credit with M&T Bank for Portables Unlimited, LLC.
As result of the write off of the Company's investment in Portables, the Company will not perform analysis on a go forward basis, regarding the
exclusion of AUM as VIE for consolidation purposes.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America ("US GAAP"). The functional currency of the Company's continuing operation Jiangsu Leimone and its equity investment
SpreadZoom is the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB"). The functional currency of the Company's continuing operations Portables and Zoom Sub is
United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"). 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 September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 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.
8
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 September 30, 2013, its consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 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.
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.
9
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 September 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.
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.
10
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 been triggering events during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that would require he
Company to perform review for impairment of its long lived assets, such as the default of the promissory note to Portables Unlimited, Inc.;
accordingly, the Company has written off its investment in Portables. Except for the assets and investments that have already been written
down, the Company believes it remaining long lived assets for continuing operations are fairly stated.
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, Silver Tech, and Portables. 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,
(iv) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized until title and risk of loss is transferred to the
customer, which occurs upon delivery of goods, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions were met.
The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the
type of specific transaction in each arrangement. Revenues represent the invoiced value of goods, net of value added tax ("VAT").
The Company does not offer promotional payments, customer coupons, rebates or other cash redemption offers to its customers. Deposits or
advance payments from customers prior to delivery of goods and passage of title of goods are recorded as advanced from customers.
11
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.
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.
12
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 September 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.
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.
13
- 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 September 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.
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 September 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.
14
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. 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.

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.

$2.20 million and $1.38 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which may be available to reduce future years' taxable income.

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 13 - STATUTORY RESERVES
As stipulated by the Company Law of the PRC, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has
been made for the following:
i) Making up cumulative prior years' losses, if any;
ii) Allocations to the "Statutory surplus reserve" of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and
regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company's registered capital;
iii) Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company's "Statutory common
welfare fund", which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company's employees; and
Statutory common welfare fund is no longer required per the new cooperation law executed in 2006.
iv) Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the shareholders' general meeting.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company's statutory surplus reserve was $737,770 and $702,539 respectively.

NOTE 14 - 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.

The sale of all of the business operations to Beijing Zhumu Culture Communication Company, Ltd. covered in the Share Purchase Agreement
as described in "Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business Operations" was for approximately $31.7 million (RMB 200 million) in sales
proceeds. The Share Purchase Agreement covers the sale of several business operations in different jurisdictions, with differing regulatory
requirements regarding the purchase and sale of businesses. The table of above details the portion of the transaction related to the sale of Profit
Harvest and CDE, which closed on December 31, 2012, for proceeds of $23.0 million. The portion of the sale covered in the Share Purchase
Agreement for Ever Elite and Nollec Wireless generated proceeds of $500,000. This sales transaction closed on April 5, 2013. The balance of the
sales proceeds, approximately $8.2 million will be allocated to TCB Digital upon the closing of that transaction. The Company has also included all
the assets and liabilities of Portables at December 31, 2012 in discontinued operations.

NOTE 17 - DEFAULT OF NOTE OWED TO PORTABLES UNLIMITED, INC.
As of November 18, 2013, the Company was in default of the promissory note for $2,000,000 owed to Portables
Unlimited, Inc. The Company has not been provided financial information for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company has
determined that it will not able to recover its investment in Portables; accordingly, the Company has written off its investment in full.
NOTE 18 - 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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.

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
31
and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations to T-Mobile. As of June 30, 2013, the Company's
and Portables Unlimited, Inc.'s ownership interests in Portables are 50.1% and 49.9%, respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the
Company was in default of a promissory note owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. If the Company was 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
approximately $5.0 million to $9.0 million. The Company has not been able to cure its default, and the Company has determined it will not be
able to recover its investment; accordingly, the Company has written off the investment in full.

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 restructure itself towards investment in more high growth businesses.

- 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.
Revenue from the sale of equipment is recognized upon shipment.
33
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 September 30, 2013, the Company has completely written off goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone, Silver Tech, CDE, and
Portables.
