FIRST QUARTER REVIEW
The electronic manufacturing services industry in which the Company operates continues to experience intense competition, particularly in sectors participating in the mobile phone supply chain. Nam Tai is not immune from such competition and its sales declined, significantly in the telecommunication components assembly (“TCA”) segment of its business. The production of flexible printed circuit (“FPC”) sub-assembly has continuously subsided since last quarter as old model items are being phased out but orders for new model items have been delayed from the original schedule. Offsetting the decline were sales increases in both LCD products and a boost in sales of consumer electronics and communication products (“CECP”) due to increasing orders of mobile phone accessories, such as Bluetooth headsets, and also optical and home entertainment products.
Nam Tai’s net sales in the first quarter of 2007 were $191.6 million, a decrease of 8.1% as compared to $208.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. Operating income in the first quarter of 2007 was $7.2 million, or $0.16 per

Page 1 of 11


 

share (diluted), a decrease of 42.7% as compared to operating income of $12.6 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted) for the same period last year. Net income in the first quarter of 2007 was $8.4 million, a decrease of 32.6% as compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2006.
The Company’s financial position remains strong and net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2007 was $6.7 million. The Company ended the quarter with $209.0 million cash on hand even after capital expenditures of $2.0 million and fourth quarter dividends of $16.6 million paid to shareholders on January 21, 2007. Besides, the Company’s other financial ratios remain healthy.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The first quarter of 2007 was a difficult one for Nam Tai. Although the competitive environment remains intense and resulting pricing pressures from customers is expected to remain a significant challenge for the electronics manufacturing services industry in the coming quarters and years, we are reviewing the possibility to improve our manufacturing efficiencies by increasing vertical integration of our FPC subassembly business and we expect which will buttress our customer service, broaden our product offerings and once past the initial learning period should provide production synergies to benefit our bottom line.
As previously announced, Nam Tai’s founder and Chairman, Mr. Koo, recently assumed the duties and responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer on a temporarily basis and has commenced a process aimed at restructuring the management of the Company. The management restructuring seeks to strengthen the quality and depth of Nam Tai’s management team, reduce costs, enhance organizational efficiency, and foster the development of new business. Such restructurings typically face resistance and take time to implement fully and therefore the results and benefits should not be expected to materialize within a short period. Further, the development of new business also takes time to mature but the Company is hopeful that improvement in results will begin to materialize in the fourth quarter of this year.
Despite the current challenges Nam Tai is proceeding with its two expansions projects, one in Wuxi, located on the East Coast of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), approximately 80 miles Northwest of Shanghai, and the second in Shenzhen Guangming Hi-Tech Industrial Park, or Shenzhen Guangming, PRC. These two expansion projects mark a key milestone in our future expansion and demonstrate to our customers our long-term commitment to keep pace with the rapid growth in the high-end electronics industry. Finally, it is consistent with Nam Tai’s record of always striving to strengthen the Company’s prospects and generate even better long-term returns for our shareholders.

4.   Developments in Class Action Litigation
As previously announced, oral argument on the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification was held on February 1, 2007. The court took the matter under advisement and had not ruled on the motion as of the close of business on April 27, 2007.
5.   Tele-Art/Bank of China Litigation
For information on the background and developments in our litigation seeking to recover on our claims against Tele-Art Inc. and involving the Bank of China Hong Kong Limited (“BOC”), we refer you to, and incorporate herein by the reference, the discussion under the heading “Privy Council Judgment/Bank of China Litigation” in Item 5. Operating and Financial review and Prospects beginning on page 52 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 that we submitted to, and was received and accepted by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2007 (the “Form 20-F”) and filed with the SEC on March 19, 2007.
Since filing our Form 20-F, and in compliance with the November 2006 decision of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom, we reinstated the 1,017,149 of our common shares we previously redeemed from Tele-Art Inc., registered them on our stock register in the name of BOC and delivered share certificates for them to BOC. To our knowledge, BOC has yet to sell or take any other action with respect to these shares and continues to hold them. Accordingly, we are still not in position to record, any value in our financial statements to a potential recovery on each of our unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s estate in liquidation. In an effort to resolve these uncertainties relating to BOC’s intentions, Nam Tai has contacted, and will continue to contact, BOC to hold BOC accountable so that BOC promptly effects sales of the subject shares and properly accounts for the basis of its claim and any excess proceeds or shares.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE
Statements concerning management’s optimism regarding Nam Tai’s long-term prospects, management’s estimates of when its expansion projects to increase capacity will begin construction or will be available for production, the benefits expected from vertically integrating the manufacture of FPC boards, among other statements in this press release, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “plans” or “planned,” “may,” “will,” “should” or “anticipates,” or the negative equivalents of those words or comparable terminology, and involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and reflect

our views with respect to future events and may not actually occur during the periods indicated or at all and are not a guarantee of our future performance. These forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release.
Whether management’s optimism regarding Nam Tai’s long-term prospects will realized, whether the Company can or will be able to meet the stages of its planned expansion by the dates currently expected, whether expectations of benefits from having an in-house manufacturing capability for FPC boards will be achieved or result in increased sales volumes or whether increased orders for its products generally, if received, can be handled by the planned increases in capacity, whether Nam Tai capital expenditures to achieve expanded capacity will result in material increases in revenues or result in increased or any profit, will depend upon future sales orders, Nam Tai’s ability to contain manufacturing costs and the actual level of capital expenditures required for each of the planned expansion projects. Nam Tai’s growth, operating income, available cash, cash flows and levels of capital expenditures may be adversely affected by numerous factors including Nam Tai’s dependence on a few large customers; intense competition in the electronics industry in which the Company participates; Nam Tai being subject to continuing pressure on its margins; its operating results fluctuating and lacking predictability; risks relating to its doing business in the PRC such as arising from changes in governmental policies, taxation, trade regulation, and currency exchange rates; the timing and amount of significant orders from customers; delays in product development and related product release schedules; obsolete inventory or product returns; warranty and other claims on products; technological shifts; the availability of competitive products of comparable quality at prices below Nam Tai’s prices; maturing product life cycles; concessions Nam Tai may make on product sale terms and conditions; implementation of operating cost structures that align with revenue growth, if any; the financial condition of Nam Tai’s customers and vendors and those companies in which Nam Tai holds marketable securities or other investments; the availability and increasing costs of materials and other components needed to manufacture its products; adverse results in litigation, including its on-going securities class action litigation; potential shortages of materials or skilled labor needed for its planned expansion projects or for its existing facilities; unforeseen engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, flood, earthquake or other acts of God, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits from regulatory authorities needed to permit expansion or continue existing operations, other unexpected project delays or unanticipated costs increases; risks of expanding into new areas of the PRC where Nam Tai’s has not yet conducted business, diversion of management’s attention to expansion and its management to new locations and to other business concerns; the impact of legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements; a worsening of relations between the PRC and the United States or Taiwan; the effects of terrorist activity and armed conflict such as disruptions in general economic activity and changes in Nam Tai’s operations and security arrangements; the effects of travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or Bird Flu, on general economic activity; or other changes in general economic conditions that affect demand for Nam Tai’s products. In addition, factors, among others, that could cause the market price of our shares to decline in the future could include the failure of our growth, if any, or operating results or those of our competitors or customers to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors who follow the electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, industry, the sale or availability for sale, of the Redeemed Shares by BOC or Tele-Art’s liquidator to satisfy the claims of Tele-Art’s creditors or on e or more of the factors discussed in Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
