Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOM) today announced second quarter financial results of Gold Lion Holdings. Zoom shareholders approved the acquisition of Gold Lion, one of the top ten Chinese mobile phone manufacturers, on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. The acquisition is expected to close this month.

Gold Lion reported Q2 2009 revenues of $53.1 million, up 354% over $11.7 million for Q2 2008, and up 84% sequentially from $28.8 million for Q1 2009. Revenue growth was partially due to a significant order from one of Gold Lion’s existing customers, a major mobile communications original equipment manufacturer.

Gross profit for Q2 2009 rose 147% to $3.2 million, compared to $1.3 million for Q2 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was 5.95%, compared to 10.95% for the same period of the prior year. The decline in gross margins is primarily due to low gross margin for the order mentioned above.

Total operating expenses for Q2 2009 were $0.4 million, compared to $0.6 million in Q2 2008. The decrease in expenses despite a jump in revenues was due primarily to management’s continued emphasis on cost control and production efficiencies.

Net income for Q2 2009 was $1.7 million. This compared to net loss of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 and net income of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Mr. Lei Gu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gold Lion, said, “We are most pleased to report these outstanding quarterly results following the recently announced and shareholder approved transaction with Zoom Technologies. We believe these results reflect the burgeoning mobile telecommunications business in China and our ability to drive revenues and profit in this market. The exceptional quarter includes revenue from an order placed by one of our top customers, which is also the top domestic mobile handset brand.”

Looking ahead, Mr. Gu commented, “For full year 2009, we expect total revenues to be between $145 million and $155 million and net income to be in the range of $5.9 million and $6.1 million.”

Mr. Frank Manning, the President, CEO, and Chairman of Zoom, said: “These results further demonstrate the value of the transaction we expect to close in September. The mobile phone market in China is growing rapidly, and we believe Gold Lion is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.”
