Zoom Technologies’ (ZOOM) Leimone Brand Enjoys High Acceptance

BEIJING–(Marketwire – 07/21/10) – Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZOOMNews), a leading China based manufacturer of mobile phones and related products, today announced that 128,000 Leimone brand mobile phones were sold within the first half of 2010, including 16,000 units of the latest 3G design. These phones are sold through one of China’s major mobile phone operators, China Telecom, and also through various retail channels. The Leimone brand phones carry a higher profit margin than the Company’s contract engineering & manufacturing service (EMS) business activities.

Zoom Technologies began to manufacture and sell its Leimone brand mobile phones in the second quarter of 2009. With the successful launches of several Leimone models so far in 2010, the Company anticipates selling more than 600,000 Leimone units by the end of this year.

Mr. Leo Gu, Chairman and CEO of Zoom Technologies, commented, “Our Leimone phones are extremely popular for their ease of use and attractive price points, a great fit for the growing number of young people in China seeking mid-priced phones with sleek designs. We will continue to focus our manufacturing activities on our core business and explore potential ancillary revenue streams made available by the increasing use of China’s 3G networks. We are only beginning to take advantage of the growth in China’s mobile phone market for the foreseeable future. With 14 production lines, we have the capacity to manufacture up to 10 million units for our EMS customers and at the same time, produce 12 models of our own feature-rich handsets equipped with the latest technologies, including four models for the 3G networks, two of which we have already introduced this year.”
