Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZOOM ) a leading China based manufacturer of mobile phones and other mobile electronic products, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Mr. Lei Gu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zoom Technologies, commented, "We are delighted to report another quarter of tremendous year over year growth and our first financial results as a public company. The third quarter marks our listing on the Nasdaq following the share exchange with Gold Lion Holding Ltd. Our ability to accomplish this transaction and subsequent $10 million private placement during such a challenging macroeconomic environment reflects our strong growth prospects for 2010 and beyond. We are extremely pleased, as a newly traded public company, to attract quality institutional investors and execute this transaction."

For the third quarter of 2009, Zoom reported net revenue of $55.29 million, up 204% over $18.16 million for the third quarter 2008, and up 4.06% sequentially from $53.13 million in the second quarter 2009. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $1.73 million as compared to net income of $0.73 million for the third quarter of 2008. The robust revenue growth was driven by strong demand from our EMS customers and supported by healthy macroeconomic conditions in China.

Gross profit for the third quarter 2009 rose 55.0% to $3.03 million, compared to $1.95 million for the third quarter of 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was 5.5%, compared to 10.8% for the same period of the prior year. The compression in gross margins is due to the competitive pricing necessary to capture a significant increase in business activities.

For the first nine months of 2009, Zoom reported net revenue of $137.24 million, up 234% over $41.14 million for the first nine months of 2008. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $4.35 million compared to net income of $1.73 million for the first nine months of 2008.

Mr. Gu continued, "Also during the third quarter, we were extremely excited to establish a distribution agreement with China Telecom, one of the top mobile phone operators in China. The distribution of our LEIMONE mobile phones demonstrates our capabilities in product development and the strength of the LEIMONE brand name in China. We believe our alliance with China Telecom will continue to facilitate the expansion of our high-quality products in the China market. We believe we are now poised to grow with the rapidly expanding China mobile phone market, pursue additional projects, and produce mobile products for top tier Chinese mobile phone companies. Additionally, the diversity of our product offering combined with our sound execution and delivery in challenging market conditions further improves our market position in China. Thus far, Zoom Technologies has delivered its LEIMONE phones to the Shanghai, Tianjin, Liaoning, Gangsu, Yunnan and Jiangxi Provinces."

The company upwardly revised its full year 2009 revenue guidance to between $185 million and $195 million and net income to between $6.0 million and $6.2 million, as compared to previous guidance of $145 million and $155 million in revenue and $5.9 million and $6.1 million in net income.

Looking ahead, Mr. Gu commented, "The funds raised from the recently completed private placement allows us to add new manufacturing lines for 3G mobile phones, expand our capacity and continue to fuel our growth in the China handset market. With this increased production, we now expect full year 2010 net income to be in the range of $10.75 million to $11.25 million on an adjusted basis, which is prior to deductions from non-cash equity based compensation charges."
