PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

Corporate Overview

Zoom Technologies, Inc. ("Zoom" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 29, 2002. Until September 22, 2009, Zoom's 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 Electronics Co. Ltd ("Jiangsu Leimone"), was the owner of 80% of Tianjin Tong Guang Group Digital Communication Co., Ltd ("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 Company Ltd ("Nollec"), a mobile phone and wireless communication design company located in Beijing, China.

On October 26, 2011, the Company closed the sale of 167,630 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 83,815 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, Dr. Leo Li, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Spreadtrum, was added to the Company's Board. Dr. Li was subsequently replaced by Chin Hung (James) Lo as a director of the Company in May 2013.

1


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. After the sale of TCB Digital the Company will most likely pursue a sale of SpreadZoom.

Subsidiary Sale

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with Beijing Zhumu Culture Communication Company, Ltd. (the "BZCC"), 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 (excluding TCB Digital's interest in SpreadZoom; however, as stated abve the Company will mostly likely pursue the sale of SpreadZoom), 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. The Purchaser remitted an advance payment to Zoom in the amount of RMB 80 million and deposited the balance of the purchase price into an escrow account, to be released to the Company upon the final closing of the Subsidiary Sale, which was to be held until 30 days after the Company receives all the requisites corporate and regulatory approvals with respect to the Subsidiary Sale. On December 31, 2012, BZCC completed its acquisition of Profit Harvest and CDE; on April 5, 2013, BZCC completed its acquisition of Ever Elite and Nollec. As of May 15, 2014, the acquisition of TCB Digital by BZCC been completed.

On December 30, 2013, BZCC assigned its purchase right for TCB Digital to Tianjin Huatianli Trading Co., Ltd. ("Huatianli"). On December 30, 2013, the Company consented to the assignment between BZCC and Huatianli and agreed to amend the SPA to reflect the change. In connection with the assignment, RMB120 million, representing the balance of the Purchase Price that was being held in escrow pending the closing of all of the sales under the SPA, was released to the Company on January 14, 2014. Of that amount, approximately RMB 68 million was available for the Company's immediate use, and approximately RMB52 million, representing the purchase price for TCB Digital, was be monitored by Huatianli until the closing of the TCB Digital sale. As of the date of this report the RMB 120 million is held in a wealth management account at trust company. The Company's Chief Executive Officer has unencumbered sole signing and dispositive rights to that account. As of May 16, 2014, the Company has received payment in full from Huatianli for the sale of TCB Digital and the Company has submitted to the PRC government documentation for the recording of the transfer of Jiangsu Leimone's ownership interest in TCB Digital to Huatianli. The Company believes for accounting purposes the sale transaction is complete, and government recording is perfunctory. Since the Company received payment separately from Huantianli for RMB 52 million, the Company is obligated to repay RMB 52 million to BZCC from the RMB 120 million held in the wealth management account.

Letter of Intent

On January 13, 2014, Zoom entered into a Letter of Intent with Tinho Union Holding Group, pursuant to which it proposes to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Tinho Union Holding Group and its subsidiaries ("Tinho") in exchange for the issuance of 9,363,585 shares of the Company's common stock at a valuation of $8.6505 per share; 4,681,793 shares that are to be issued will be held in escrow, and those shares will be released upon Tinho's achievement of certain earnings targets (such transaction, the "Tinho Acquisition"). The Letter of Intent is subject to final terms and conditions, which will be mutually accepted and fully described in a definitive agreement governing the proposed transaction. To date no such definitive agreement has been prepared and there can be no assurance that Zoom and Tinho will consummate this transaction.

2


The Letter of Intent provides the parties with exclusivity until the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2014; (ii) the time that all parties agree in writing not to pursue the Tinho Acquisition; or (iii) execution of a definitive agreement; provided, that the Company shall be allowed to consider other acquisition proposals that may be superior to terms of the Tinho Acquisition. In the event that either Tinho or Zoom's board of directors fails to approve the Tinho Acquisition during the exclusivity period for reasons other than material breach of the Letter of Intent or the definitive agreement, dissatisfaction with the outcomes of due diligence, or failure of any closing conditions outside of a party's control, such party shall be subject to a break-up fee of $2 million. However, Tinho shall not be subject to any break-up fee in the event that Zoom is no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") and Zoom is deemed by Nasdaq to be subject to Nasdaq's seasoning rules. With the exception of these exclusivity and break-up provisions, which are binding, the terms of the Letter of Intent are non-binding in nature.

The Company is currently conducting due diligence on Tinho, and Tinho is conducting due diligence on the Company. Definitive agreements have yet to be endorsed by either party.

Zoom's Investment 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 149,469 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. Subsequent to the purchase of the 50% stake in ownership from CNCG, Zoom Sub increased its stake in Portables to 50.1% by injecting additional capital. Further, in connection with the transaction, the Company 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. The Company also agreed to pay other outstanding indebtedness of Portables of $4,500,000, less the amount of T-Mobile Indebtedness paid off. Additionally, the Company had previously recognized acquisition payables to Portables in the amount of $1,350,000 and the need to arrange a $500,000 Letter of Credit in Portables' name to secure obligations to T-Mobile.

As of July 15, 2013, the Company was in default of a promissory note for $2,000,000 owed to Portables Unlimited, Inc. The promissory note was collateralized by the Company's ownership percentage in Portables. The Company was not been able to cure its default, and the Company determined it was not able to recover its investment, and forfeited its ownership interest. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $16.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 which includes a complete write off of its investment in Portables for loss of approximately $11.5 million. The Company had previously erroneous accounted for its investment in Portables using the consolidation method of accounting; however, it was subsequently determined that the proper method of accounting for its investment was the equity method; accordingly, the Company has revised its presentation of 2012 financial statements in this Form 10K. Refer to "Note 22 - Correction of Error for Accounting of Portables Unlimited, LLC." for further details.

Zoom's principal executive offices are located in the People's Republic of China at Sanlitun SOHO, Building B, 19th Floor, No.8 Workers Stadium North Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China 100027; its telephone number is 86-10-5935-9000. The Company's corporate web site address is www.zoom.com

The diagram below summarizes the Company's corporate structure as of December 31, 2013:

Employees

Currently the Company has approximately 10 persons, including executives, legal, accounting, and administrative positions. Our employees do not have a collective bargaining agreement and we believe our relationship with our employees is good.

ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report.

In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included in this report, including the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. As of the date of this report, Zoom is a holding company with investments in the PRC via SpreadZoom, the Company's joint venture with Spreadtrum Technologies, Inc. As a result, Zoom is subject to legal and regulatory environments of the PRC. Zoom is also currently in negotiations to acquire Tinho, an e-commerce provider for the PRC travel industry, and is in the process of conducting due diligence on Tinho's business and operations The legal and regulatory environment in the PRC may differ in many respects from those of the United States; as such, Zoom's business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of the risks discussed below.

4


Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect Zoom's business.

Because Zoom conducts its operations from China, any appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar would affect financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. In addition, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Renminbi would affect the relative purchasing power of Zoom's U.S. dollar denominated cash assets and the Renminbi value of Zoom's U.S. dollar denominated bank borrowings, if any.

We hold a minority interest in SpreadZoom and are exposed to various risks.

The Company holds 47.4% ownership in the joint venture with Spreadtrum. The authorized representative of SpreadZoom is assigned by Spreadtrum; accordingly, Spreadtrum can effectively control the operations of the Company, decisions regarding operations may not be in the best interests for the Company as a minority stockholder. Even though the Company is involved in the operation and management of SpreadZoom, there is no assurance that the management team of SpreadZoom will be able to lead Spreadtrum to business success. In the event we discontinue our involvement in the management of SpreadZoom for any reason, we cannot provide assurance that new management will possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to profitably operate such business.

The joint venture with Spreadtrum is a new business model that we adopted and there is no assurance such model will be successful in the future. In the event the joint venture is terminated for any reason, there is no assurance that we may obtain full recovery of our contribution and investment.

Because a significant portion of assets are located outside of the United States and a majority of our directors and our officers will reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for you to enforce your rights based on the United States federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors in the United States or to enforce judgments of United States courts against us or them in the PRC.  In addition, it may be difficult for you to enforce judgments of United States courts against Zoom or our PRC resident directors and officers in the United States.

A majority of our board of directors and officers are outside of the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets are located outside of the United States. China does not have a treaty with the United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts. It may therefore be difficult for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights based on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws against us in the courts of either the United States or the PRC and, even if civil judgments are obtained in courts of the United States, to enforce such judgments in the PRC courts. Further, it is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties, under the United States federal securities laws or otherwise.   In addition, an investor may have difficulty enforcing a judgment rendered by a United States court against foreign residents such as Zoom and our officers and directors who do not have assets in the United States.

There is no assurance that we will successfully acquire Tinho, or make strategic investments in additional companies.

Although we have entered into a Letter of Intent with Tinho, as disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 15, 2014, there is no assurance that we can complete a business combination with Tinho or any target. We may not be satisfied with its due diligence investigation of Tinho's business and operations or successful in negotiating a definitive agreement with Tinho. Although a definitive agreement has yet to be prepared, assuming a definitive agreement with Tinho is prepared and signed, completion of the Tinho Acquisition will be subject to approval by Zoom's stockholders and other closing conditions. If we are unsuccessful in completing the Tinho Acquisition, we can give no assurances that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will consummate an acquisition or strategic investments in additional companies. Additionally, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. In the event that our board of directors fails to approve the Tinho Acquisition prior to June 30, 2014, we may be subject to a $2 million break-up fee, which may further limit our financial ability to acquire a different target business. Management cannot guarantee that it will be able to negotiate any future acquisition or investments on favorable terms. Although Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there is no assurance that it will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors..

5


We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions and strategic investments, and integration of acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Tinho Acquisition or any other acquisitions or strategic investments, which involve numerous risks, including:

  • our inability to integrate the purchased operations, technologies, personnel or products into our existing operations and/or over geographically disparate locations;

  • unanticipated costs, litigation and other contingent liabilities;

  • diversion of management's attention from our core business;

  • adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

  • incurrence of acquisition-related costs or amortization costs for acquired intangible assets that could impact our operating results;

  • inability to retain key customers, distributors, vendors and other business partners of the acquired business; and

  • potential loss of our key employees or the key employees of an acquired organization;

If we are not be able to integrate businesses, products, technologies or personnel that we acquire, or to realize expected benefits of our acquisitions or strategic investments, our business and financial results may be adversely affected.

If we do not complete the Tinho Acquisition, our business may have no revenue unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business, so we are likely to continue to incur losses.

Following the disposal of its operating subsidiaries in 2013, the Company has had no revenues or earnings from operations and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and we have incurred a loss of $38,861,687. We expect that we will continue to incur losses at least until we complete a business combination with a suitable acquisition target. There can be no assurances that we will ever be profitable.

If we fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq Capital Market requirements and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, impair the value of your investment, adversely affect our ability to raise needed funds and subject us to additional trading restrictions and regulations.

Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain that listing, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements. On April 15, 2014, we received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that, because the Company failed to timely file its annual report on 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Company no longer complies with the periodic filing requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5250(c)(1) of Nasdaq Listing Rules. To date we have also not timely filed our form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Nasdaq's notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and with the filing of this annual report, we believe that we satisfied the requirements to file and Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to meet this or other listing requirements, including the filing of the form 10-Q for March 31, 2014.

In connection with the proposed Tinho Acquisition or other acquisition targets or strategic investments that result in a change of control, we may be required to submit an initial listing application to Nasdaq, which will require the post-transaction company to meet all Nasdaq initial listing requirements, which are generally more stringent than the continued listing requirements. There is no assurance that we will be able to meet these Nasdaq initial listing requirements or that Nasdaq will approve the post-transaction company for listing.

6


Additionally, if we are not successful with the Tinho Acquisition, Nasdaq may request to evaluate us as a public "shell" company under Rule 5101, which may adversely affect our ability to maintain our listing prior to and after completing an acquisition or strategic investment with a potential target. Nasdaq recently amended its listing rules to restrict the ability of companies that have completed reverse mergers with shell companies to list their securities on such exchanges. In order to become eligible to list their securities, reverse merger companies must have had their securities traded on an over-the-counter market for at least one year, maintained a closing price of $4.00 or higher for not less than 30 of the most recent 60 days prior to the filing of an initial listing application and prior to listing, and timely filed with the SEC all required reports since the consummation of the reverse merger, including one annual report containing audited financial statements for a full fiscal year commencing after the date of the filing of the Form 8-K containing the company's Form 10 information.

If we fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq requirements and Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or the "pink sheets." If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

  • a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

  • reduced liquidity for our securities;

  • a determination that our common stock is "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

  • a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

  • a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Furthermore, The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 ("NSMIA"), which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities for the purpose of NSMIA. If our securities were no longer listed on Nasdaq and therefore not "covered securities", we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

ITEM 1B - UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not applicable.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters was previously located at Sanlitun SOHO, Building A, 11th Floor, No.8 Workers Stadium North Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 10027, China. This leased office space was about 1,800 square meters and the lease expired in July 2013. The office space was renewed until April of 2014, when the lease expires. As of the date of this report the Company has moved to Sanlitun SOHO, Building B, 19th Floor, No.8 Workers Stadium North Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 10027, China where the Company's Chief Executive Officer maintains his office. The office space is leased from the landlord by Nollec, the former subsidiary of the Company. The Company has not entered into a formal agreement between itself and Nollec to sublease any space.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Leimone (Tianjin) Industrial Co., Ltd ("Leimone Tianjin"), a related party (see Item 13), 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 Courts have executed on its ruling and removed the HUCG from the premises.

Other than our dispute disclosed above we are not a party to any material legal proceedings nor are we aware of any circumstance that may reasonably lead a third party to initiate legal proceedings against us.

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with Beijing Zhumu Culture Communication Company, Ltd. ("BZCC"), a PRC company that provides services to the telecommunication industry. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company agreed to sell (the "Subsidiary Sale") to BZCC 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 (excluding TCB Digital's interest in SpreadZoom), 100% of the outstanding equity interest of Profit Harvest, and 100% of the outstanding equity interest of CDE. As consideration for the Subsidiary Sale, BZCC 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. BZCC remitted an advance payment to Zoom in the amount of RMB 80 million and deposited the balance of the Purchase Price into an escrow account, to be released to the Company upon the final closing of the Subsidiary Sale, which was to be held 30 days after the Company received all requisite corporate and regulatory approvals with respect to the Subsidiary Sale. On December 31, 2012, BZCC completed its acquisition of Profit Harvest and CDE; the closing of the sale of Ever Elite and Nollec occurred on April 5, 2013. As mentioned above, on December 30, 2013, BZCC assigned its purchase right for TCB Digital to Tianjin Huatianli Trading Co., Ltd. ("Huatianli"). On December 30, 2013, the Company consented to the assignment between BZCC and Huatianli and agreed to amend the SPA to reflect the change. In connection with the assignment, RMB120 million, representing the balance of the Purchase Price that was being held in escrow pending the closing of all of the sales under the SPA, was released to a Company-designated bank account. Of that amount, approximately RMB 68 million was available for the Company's immediate use, and approximately RMB52 million, representing the purchase price for TCB Digital, was be monitored by Huatianli until the closing of the TCB Digital sale. As of the date of this report the RMB 120 million is held in wealth management account at trust company. The Company's Chief Executive Officer has unencumbered sole signing and dispositive rights to that account. As of May 16, 2014, the Company has received payment in full from Huatianli for the sale of TCB Digital and the Company has submitted to the PRC government documentation for the recording of the transfer of Jiangsu Leimone's ownership interest in TCB Digital to Huatianli. Om May 15, 2014, the Company completed the sale of TCB Digital to Huatianli. The Company has received payment in full separately from Huantianli for RMB 52 million; accordingly, the Company is obligated to repay RMB 52 million to BZCC from the RMB 120 million held in the trust wealth management account. Refer to "Note 21 - Subsequent Events" for further details.

Recent Developments

On January 13, 2014, Zoom entered into a Letter of Intent with Tinho Union Holding Group, pursuant to which it proposes to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Tinho Union Holding Group and its subsidiaries ("Tinho") in exchange for the issuance of 9,363,585 shares of the Company's common stock at a valuation of $8.6505 per share; 4,681,793 shares that are to be issued will be held in escrow, and those shares will be released upon Tinho's achievement of certain earnings targets (such transaction, the "Tinho Acquisition"). The Letter of Intent is subject to final terms and conditions, which will be mutually accepted and fully described in a definitive agreement governing the proposed transaction.

The Letter of Intent provides the parties with exclusivity until the earlier of: (i) June 30, 2014; (ii) the time that all parties agree in writing not to pursue the Tinho Acquisition; or (iii) execution of a definitive agreement; provided, that the Company shall be allowed to consider other acquisition proposals that may be superior to terms of the Tinho Acquisition. In the event that either Tinho or Zoom's board of directors fails to approve the Tinho Acquisition during the exclusivity period for reasons other than material breach of the Letter of Intent or the definitive agreement, dissatisfaction with the outcomes of due diligence, or failure of any closing conditions outside of a party's control, such party shall be subject to a break-up fee of $2 million. However, Tinho shall not be subject to any break-up fee in the event that Zoom is no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Zoom is deemed by Nasdaq to be subject to Nasdaq's seasoning rules. With the exception of these exclusivity and break-up provisions, which are binding, the terms of the Letter of Intent are non-binding in nature.

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,

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.

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.

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 19 - Equity Method Investment" for details.

The Company revised its accounting for Portables Unlimited, LLC. Previously, the Company accounted for the investment as a subsidiary under the consolidation method of accounting; as of the date of this report, Company retroactively changed its method of accounting for Portables to the equity method. Previously reported net income/(loss) attributable to the Company were unchanged; however, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 no longer includes all of the assets and liabilities of Portables. As of December 31, 2013, Portables was no longer an investment of the Company. As disclosed above the Company completely wrote off the investment on July 15, 2013, recording a loss of approximately $11.5 million. At December 31, 2012, the Company was a joint borrower on a $3 million line of credit provided by M&T Bank. This line was refinanced in February of 2013 to be reduced to $2.5 million; concurrently, the Company and Portables co-borrowed $2.5 million in a term note from M&T Bank. Both the line of credit and term note were accounted for as an increase to the investment amount when Portables was still owned by the Company. The investment was written off in July of 2013; however, at December 31, 2013, the maximum value of the line of credit of $2.5 million and the amortized balance of the term note are carried as liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. On May 20, 2014, Portables and M&T Banks released the Company from the obligation of repaying the line of credit and term note. Refer to "Note 9 - Short Term Loans" for further details.

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.

11


Income taxes

Zoom accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 (ASC Topic 740), "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the estimated tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts and each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized when, in management's opinion; it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents current taxes payable net of the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Zoom adopted FIN 48 (ASC Topic 740), Accounting for Uncertainty in Tax Positions. Zoom has engages tax preparers in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates to determine if the Company is both fully compliant with applicable tax laws and is lawfully maximizing tax benefits to the Company.

Asset Impairment

Zoom periodically evaluates the carrying value of other long-lived assets, including, but not limited to, property and equipment and intangible assets, when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Significant estimates are utilized to calculate expected future cash flows utilized in impairment analyses. Zoom also utilizes judgment to determine other factors within fair value analyses, including the applicable discount rate. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had completely written off goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Jiangsu Leimone, Silver Tech, and CDE. There was no goodwill outstanding as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Discontinued Operations

On December 31, 2012, the Company announced the Subsidiary Sale, and on July 15, 2013, the Company has written off its investment on Portables, all as discussed in more detail above. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2013, management determined that the Company's former 50.1% equity interest investment in Portables Unlimited, LLC ("Portables"), was incorrectly accounted for using the consolidation method. As such, the Company's results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 provided herein only reports revenue from continuing operations. Revenue and expenses for the discontinued operations of Portables, Ever Elite, Nollec, Profit Harvest, CDE and TCB Digital are reported in Note 20 to the accompanying financial statements in this report.

Revenues

Zoom's revenue from continuing operations were $0 and $0 (as restated) for 2013 and 2012. The Company is restructuring its businesses and has disposed of its operating subsidiaries; accordingly, the results of operations do not provide for any revenue derived from continuing operations.

Cost of sales

For the years 2013 and 2012, Zoom's cost of sales from continuing operations were $0 and $0 (as restated). As aforementioned the Company is restructuring its business; therefore, neither revenues nor related cost of sales have been recognized as results of continuing operations.

13


Operating expenses

Operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative expenses and non-cash equity-based compensation.

General and administrative expenses primarily consisted of compensation for executive personnel, travel expenses, insurance, and professional fees associated with maintaining a public company.

For 2013, general and administrative expenses for continuing operations were $1,740,884 compared to $2,873,524 (as restated) for 2012. General and administrative expenses have decreased $1,132,640 year-over-year. The decreases are attributed to the restructuring and disposal of operating subsidiaries. Non-cash compensation expense for 2013 was $1,141,167 as compared to $7,416,937 (as restated). The non-cash equity-based compensation charges were related to the shares issued to board members and acceleration of vesting periods for shares issued to former executives of the Company. The Company has exhausted its employees' stock compensation plan approved by the Company's shareholders in 2009. The Company expects to seek approval from the Company's shareholders for an amendment to the plan to authorize additional shares under the plan.

Other income and (expenses) - net

Other income and (expenses) from continuing operations, net were $(1,078,605) in 2013, a decrease of $1,796,002, or -250.35% from $717,397 (as restated) in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to losses by the Company's equity method investments in SpreadZoom, and Portables, for the period prior to its disposal.

Net loss

For 2013, Net loss was $43,655,697 as compared to $32,802,605 (as restated) for 2012. Zoom experienced material losses as a result of its decision to discontinue and dispose of its operations in the US, PRC, and Hong Kong. The Company incurred loss on disposal of $16,354,593 for the dispositions of Ever Elite, Nollec, and Portables. The Company wrote off an outstanding accounts receivable owed to TCB Digital by Gohigh Data Networks Technology Co., Ltd ("Gohigh") in the amount of $24,084,239; the bad debt was included in its results from discontinued operations; as of December 31, 2013, and for the period then ended, the Company and its subsidiaries ceased doing business with Gohigh and made numerous unsuccessful efforts to recover the amounts owed by Gohigh. Accordingly, the Company recognized a 100% reserve for bad debt related to this former customer.

Other comprehensive (loss) income

For 2013, our other comprehensive (loss) income was $(3,241,292) compared to $1,977,228 (as restated) for 2012. Other comprehensive income resulted from changes in net foreign currency exchange changes particularly the Renminbi's movements against the US dollar resulting from our conversion of RMB into US$ for reporting; and we may report gain or loss depending on changes in the exchange rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Zoom generally finances its operations from cash flow generated internally, equity fundraising and short-term bank loans due in less than one year and with interest rates between 5.3% and 8.4%. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and equivalents of $36,735, an increase of $28,384 from $8,351 (as restated) as of December 31, 2012. We also had $19,632,865 in restricted cash at the end of 2013 relating to the Subsidiary Sale; such restricted cash was held in a wealth management trust account controlled by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and BZCC. The funds were related to the disposition of certain discontinued operations. As of May 16, 2014, the funds have been released to the Company for use without any further restrictions. The signatory and dispositive authority over the funds in the wealth management account after they were unencumbered rests solely with the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The net cash provided in operating activities in 2013 was $18,589,197 compared to net cash used in operating activities for 2012 of $23,913,357 (as restated). The net cash inflow from operating activities in 2013 was primarily generated in discontinued operations by an increase in accounts payable and decreases in prepayments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $15,417,561 in 2013. These funds were primarily used in discontinued operations as deposit in time deposits with PRC banks to secure the issuance of bank notes.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3,610,927 in 2013. These funds were primarily used in discontinued operations to repay loans and related parties.

14


On a going forward basis, over the next 12 months, Zoom intends to complete the sale of its PRC subsidiaries and enter into merger transaction with Tinho. At such point the management of Tinho will deploy the funds in the combined business.

Off balance sheet arrangements

As of December 31, 2013, Zoom had no off balance sheet arrangements.

ZOOM TECHNOLOGIES, INC., AFFILIATES & SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Acquisitions

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"), incorporated in the PRC. Nollec 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 was not able to recover its investment. As a result, Zoom ceased to have a an equity interest in Portables and did not retain an investment in it on the date of default, July 15, 2013, accordingly, the Company recognized a loss which includes a complete write off of its investment in Portables. The Company recorded a loss on disposal of approximately $11.5 million related to its write of Portables.

21


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. ("BZCC"), 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, Nollec, 80% of the outstanding equity interest of TCB Digital, 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 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 report, the Purchaser has remitted the entire amount of RMB 200 million to the Company, of which RMB120 million was initially held in escrow pending the closing of the Subsidiary Sale. Of this amount, a portion of the funds, approximately RMB 80 million, has been 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. On December 30, 2013, BZCC assigned its purchase right to TCB Digital to Tianjin Huatianli Trading Co., Ltd. ("Huatianli"). On December 30, 2013, the Company consented to the assignment between BZCC and Huatianli and agreed to amend the SPA to reflect the change. In connection with the assignment, RMB120 million, representing the balance of the Purchase Price that was being held in escrow pending the closing of all of the sales under the SPA, was agreed upon to be released within 10 business days to a Company-designated bank account. Of that amount, approximately RMB 68 million was available for the Company's immediate use, and approximately RMB52 million, representing the purchase price for TCB Digital, was be monitored by Huatianli until the closing of the TCB Digital sale. As of the date of this report the RMB 120 million is held in wealth management account at trust company. The Company's Chief Executive Officer has unencumbered sole signing and dispositive rights to that account. As of May 16, 2014, the Company has received payment in full from Huatianli for the sale of TCB Digital and the Company has submitted to the PRC government documentation for the recording of the transfer of Jiangsu Leimone's ownership interest in TCB Digital to Huatianli. The Company believes for accounting purposes the sale transaction is complete, and government recording is perfunctory. Since the Company received payment separately from Huantianli for RMB 52 million, the Company is obligated to repay RMB 52 million to BZCC from the RMB 120 million held in the wealth management account.

The Company's ownership interest in SpreadZoom, which owns and operates mobile phone manufacturing facilities in Tianjin, was not part of the Subsidiary Sale.

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

As disclosed above, as of July 15, 2013, the Company has completely written off its investment in Portables Unlimited, LLC.

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 19 - Equity Method Investments" for details.

The Company revised its accounting for Portables Unlimited, LLC. Previously, the Company accounted for the investment as a subsidiary under the consolidation method of accounting; as of the date of this report, Company retroactively changed its method of accounting for Portables to the equity method. Previously reported net income/(loss) attributable to the Company were unchanged; however, the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 no longer includes all of the assets and liabilities of Portables. As of December 31, 2013, Portables was no longer an investment of the Company. As disclosed above the Company completely wrote off the investment on July 15, 2013, recording a loss of approximately $11.5 million. At December 31, 2012, the Company was a joint borrower on a $3 million line of credit provided by M&T Bank. This line was refinanced in February of 2013 to be reduced to $2.5 million; concurrently, the Company and Portables co-borrow $2.5 million in a term note from M&T Bank. Both the line of credit and term note were accounted for as an increase to the investment amount when Portables was still owned by the Company. The investment was written off in July of 2013; however, at December 31, 2013, the maximum value of the line of credit of $2.5 million and the amortized balance of the term note are carried as liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. On May 20, 2014, Portables and M&T Banks released the Company from the obligation of repaying the line of credit and term note. Refer to "Note 9 - Short Term Loans" for further details.

Exclusion of Related Party Lessor from Consolidation

Portables, commencing in January 2009, subleased its principal facility from one of its members. 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 was true up to July 15, 2013, the date of disposition of Portables.

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 220 "Reporting Comprehensive Income", 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 and Transactions

The accounts of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries are maintained in the RMB and the accounts of the U.S. parent company are maintained in the USD. The accounts of the Chinese subsidiaries were translated into USD in accordance with 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.

24


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 December 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.

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 7 - 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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

25


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, 2013 and 2012. In 2012, the Company determined that certain fixed assets and goodwill were impaired based on the disposal of certain operations. The amount of impairment loss in 2012 was $9,048,334 (as restated).

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,

(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 is in the mobile phone design, software integration and mobile solution R&D business. Nollec 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:

  1. 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.
  2. The buyer can be expected to satisfy all obligations under the contract.
  3. The contractor can be expected to perform all contractual obligations.

26


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.

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 2013 and 2012. 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 December 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.

27


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.

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.
  • Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

28


The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

                  Significant      
            Active Markets     Other     Significant
      Carrying     for Identical     Observable     Unobservable
      Value     Assets     Inputs     Inputs
      2013     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 36,735    $ 36,735    $   $
Restricted cash   $ 19,632,865    $ 19,632,865    $   $
Warrants   $ 377    $   $ 377    $
                         
                  Significant      
            Active Markets     Other     Significant
      Carrying     for Identical     Observable     Unobservable
      Value     Assets     Inputs     Inputs
      2012     (Level 1)     (Level 2)     (Level 3)
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 8,351    $ 8,351    $   $
Restricted cash   $ 19,044,294    $ 19,044,294    $   $
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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, substantially all of the Company's cash and equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the United States, which management believes are of high credit quality. With respect to trade and notes receivables, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts of trade receivables.

Notes receivable are undertaken by the banks to honor the payments at maturity and the customers are required to place deposits with the banks equivalent to certain percentage of the notes amount as collateral. These notes receivable can be sold to any third party at a discount before maturity. The Company does not maintain an allowance for notes receivable in the absence of bad debt experience and the payments are undertaken by the banks.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company follows ASC 810 for reporting non-controlling interest ("NCI") in a subsidiary. As a result, the Company reports NCI as a separate component of Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company reports the portion of net income and comprehensive income attributed to the Company and NCI separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the adoption of this standard and it is expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

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.

  • Exchange risk

The Company cannot guarantee the Renminbi and USD exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, the Company could post the same profit for two comparable periods and post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Renminbi and USD. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments without s

  • Political risk

Currently, PRC is in a period of growth and is openly promoting business development in order to bring more business into PRC. Additionally PRC currently allows a Chinese corporation to be owned by a United States corporation. If the laws or regulations relating to ownership of a Chinese corporation are changed by the PRC government, the Company's ability to operate the PRC subsidiaries could be affected.

  • Interest risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short-term variable rate borrowings from time to time. The Company's future interest expense will fluctuate in line with any change in borrowing rates.

The Company 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 21 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with BZCC, which among other assets included the sale of TCB Digital by the Company to BZCC. On or about December 30, 2013, the Company consented to BZCC assigning its purchase rights to Huatianli; on May 15, 2014, the Company completed the sale of TCB Digital to Huatianli which is evidenced by the recording of transfer ownership with the PRC government, and the Company's receipt of payment in full from Huatianli. Additionally, the Company is obligated to refund a purchase deposit of RMB 52 million to BZCC for funds previously deposited in a restricted trust account in the Company's name.

On May 20, 2014, the Company received releases from M&T Bank for balances owed under both a line of credit and term note owed at December 31, 2013. As result of these releases, the liabilities will be written off as gains in the second quarter of 2014.

NOTE 22 - CORRECTION OF ERROR FOR ACCOUNTING OF PORTABLES UNLIMITED, LLC.

On May 5, 2014, the Company concluded that the consolidated balance sheet, and related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income/(loss), stockholders' equity and statements of cash flows included in Form 10K Annual Report, dated April 15, 2013 (the "2012 Financials") will need to be restated as a result of the Company erroneous application of the consolidation method of accounting for its former 50.1% equity interest investment in Portables Unlimited, LLC ("Portables"). The Company's management determined during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2013 that the Company's former investment in Portables was incorrectly accounted for using the consolidation method and should instead have been accounted for using the equity method. The error resulted in an overstatement of the total assets, total liabilities, net revenues, cost of sales, operating expenses, and operating income in the previously filed consolidated financial statements. The Company did not demonstrate that it had unilateral control over the investment, but rather, the Company only exercised substantive participating rights; accordingly, the Company should have used the equity method of accounting to account for its former investment.

The following tables show the previously report amounts, the required adjustment and the currently restated amounts related to the Company financial position and results of operations at December 31, 2012 (as restated), and for the year then ended.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") (the Company's principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (the Company's principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures is not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.  The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled "Internal Control - Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2013, the Company identified deficiencies that were determined to be a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weakness described below, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2013.

The specific material weakness identified by the Company's management as of December 31, 2013 is described as follows:

  • Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. As detailed in the Explanatory Note found in Form 10Q/A that was filed on November 25, 2013, on November 19, 2013 prior to receiving approval from the Company's registered independent public accountant, the Company filed its Form 10Q. The Company already remediated this material weakness and has determined that the newly implemented controls and procedures are operating effectively.
  • The Company has had to make corrections of errors on two separate occasions during the last two years for its accounting of warrants and its accounting for its equity investment in Portables. These corrections of errors represent material weaknesses in the Company's ability to accurately account for complex accounting issues. The Company is currently reviewing its processes to determine if more additional outside expertise is necessary to account for transactions that require complex accounting treatments. The Company must assess the cost benefit of using outside sources. As of the date of this report, the Company has neither completed its analysis, nor put in place remedial measures to eliminate the material weakness.

49


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm as we are a smaller reporting company and not required to provide the report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the  fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 other than those that have been detailed above that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, the material weakness's disclosed above resulted in the Company having a violation under Sarbanes Oxley section 402

Beijing Leimone Shengtong Wireless Technology Co., Ltd. ("Beijing Leimone") was founded by Gu, the largest shareholder of the Company. Beijing Leimone borrowed 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. The balance is expected to be repaid in full.

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 December 31, 2012, the amount due from Tianjin Leimone of $11,034,982 represented advances for purchases arising in the normal course of business for transactions prior to December 31, 2012. The balance was net off against the capital injection detailed in Due to related parties below.

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. $293,996 and $355,564 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was a loan to Shenzhen Leimone for setup costs. The balance is expected to be repaid in full.

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. Upon completion of the sale of TCB Digital, the Company expects to be repaid these advances.

Due to related parties

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amounts due to related parties were:

      December 31,     December 31,

Mr. Gu provided funds to the Company with no interest and are due on demand. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balances of funds provided by Gu was $1,063,500 and $2,901,283 respectively.

56


Mr. Anthony Chan provided funds to the Company with no interest and they were due on demand. As of December 31, 2012, the balances of funds provided by Chan and certain accrued compensation for services rendered was $358,814. As of December 31, 2013, the amounts owed to Mr. Chan have been repaid in full.

This balance is the result of a transfer from Tianjin Leimone of $10,719,532 (RMB 66,400,000) for Jiangsu Leimone to inject as capital into its discontinued operation TCB Digital. The transfer of funds from Tianjin exceeded the then outstanding balance of $8,435,610 owed by Tianjin Leimone; therefore, the remaining balance is a net due to Tianjin Leimone.

The balance owed to Beijing Lemone Shengtong Cultural Development Co, Ltd ("Beijing Shentong"), a company owned and controlled by Gu, arose in the normal course of business, as certain corporate staff expenses in Beijing were paid by Beijing Shentong on behalf of the Company.

The balance owed as of December 31, 2013 of $2 million was for a promissory note issued to Portables Unlimited, Inc. The Company defaulted on this loan and forfeited its ownership in Portables. See Note 1 in the accompanying financial statements for details.

Policies and Procedures Regarding Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Person Transactions

In accordance with our Audit Committee charter, our Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the terms of any related party transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, related party transactions made by Gold Lion prior to September 22, 2009, the date that Zoom acquired Gold Lion via share exchange, were not approved by our audit committee. The audit committee did not approve any of the related party transactions above with Beijing Leimone, Shenzhen Leimone, Tianjin Leimone, and SpreadZoom were carried out strictly on the authority of the Chief Executive Officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Zoom Technologies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zoom Technologies, Inc. Affiliates and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zoom Technologies, Inc. Affiliates and Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 22, the accompanying 2012 consolidated financial statements have been restated.
