THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE REVIEW
In view of the lower than expected sales and a change of the product mix with lower margins during the third quarter of 2006, Nam Tai announced revised sales and earnings guidance for the third quarter of 2006 on September 1, 2006. Net sales for the third quarter of 2006 were in line with that revised guidance. As a result of implementing cost-control measures in an effort to combat adverse market conditions during the third quarter of 2006, the Company achieved slightly better than expected non-GAAP operating income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings per share (diluted). However, overall results for the third quarter of 2006 were still disappointing as compared with those of Nam Tai’s third quarter of 2005 and its original guidance for the third quarter of 2006 announced on July 31, 2006.
Nam Tai’s net sales for its third quarter of 2006 was $218.5 million, an increase of 5.1% as compared to $207.9 million in the third quarter of 2005. Operating income for the third quarter of 2006 was $12.4 million, or $0.28 per share (diluted), a decrease of 11.6% as compared to operating income of $14.1 million, or $0.33 per share for the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2006 was $12.1 million, a decrease of 35.7% as compared to $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2005. Both non-GAAP operating income per share (diluted) and non-GAAP earnings per share (diluted) for the third quarter of 2006 were $0.28, a decrease of 20% as compared to $0.35 for each of those non-GAAP measures in the same period last year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Nam Tai’s net sales were $640.5 million, an increase of 16.4% as compared to $550.1 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the first nine months of 2006 was $45.1 million, or $1.03 per share (diluted), an increase of 18.3% as compared with $38.1 million, or $0.89 per share (diluted), in the same period last year. Net Income for the first nine months of 2006 was $43.1 million, or $0.99 per share, an increase of 11.6% as compared to $38.6 million or $0.90 per share in the same period last year.
Ms. Patinda Lei, Nam Tai’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer commented, “Despite the challenging business environment, the Company is very much encouraged that its gross profit margins for the third quarter of 2006 improved to 10.2% from 9.7% in the second quarter of 2006. The Company continued to be successful in controlling its selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense as well as research and development (“R&D”) expenses. Total SG&A and R&D expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 4.5% in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to 5.4% in the same period last year, which included $0.96 million of severance expenses, or 0.5% as a percentage of net sales, incurred in relation to the restructuring of Nam Tai’s Hong Kong subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2005.”
The Company’s financial position remains strong and net cash provided by operating activities during the third quarter of 2006 was $26.0 million. The Company also had $227.0 million cash on hand even after capital expenditures of $9.1 million made and second quarter dividends of $16.6 million paid to stockholders on July 21, 2006. Moreover, the Company’s other financial ratios remain healthy.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, on the strong foundation of its key component subassemblies of telecommunication products business, Nam Tai will actively seek opportunities for further business diversification. To sharpen its competitive edge, the Company is stepping up vertical integration of the key component subassemblies of telecommunication products business. Nam Tai’s investment in the vertical integration of its flexible printed circuit (“FPC”) business by moving upstream to commence FPC unit manufacturing is on schedule. The Company has begun trial production of FPC units recently. In

addition to applying for the approval of Underwriters Laboratories (“UL”) Standards for Safety, the Company has also provided samples for customers’ approval. It is expected that the mass production will be commenced in the second quarter of 2007 on schedule.
With aggressive marketing strategies, the Company recently was successful in winning two new customers. In addition to its wholly owned subsidiary, Zastron Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. entering into an agreement with QUALCOMM MEMS Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM Incorporated, to provide module assembly services for QUALCOMM’s iMoDTM displays, Nam Tai has also won a new customer order from a leading global provider of digital office solution to manufacture 1.3 mega pixel CMOS image sensor modules for notebook computers with built-in camera functions. With a goal to boost sales and enhance profitability, the Company plans to continue efforts to expand its customer base and diversify its product lines consistent with Nam Tai’s strategy to produce higher value and more sophisticated products.
Facing the same intense competition and pricing pressures during the third quarter as were present in the previous quarter, Nam Tai’s long-term strategy is to continue its emphasis on controlling expenses, seeking better pricing and terms from its suppliers and selectively focusing resources to better target higher margin orders.
In addition to the expansion project to build a new factory in Shenzhen, PRC, the Company continues to implement its plans to establish in the near future an industrial presence in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, located on the East Coast of the PRC, approximately 80 miles Northwest of Shanghai. The Company has recently entered into an official agreement with Wuxi government for the project. Nam Tai expects that the launch of its project to establish a presence in Wuxi, together with its expanded facilities in Shenzhen, will position the Company to capitalize on strong growth in demand for high-technology consumer electronic products anticipated by the Company over the next few years. The expansion projects for Nam Tai’s new factory in Shenzhen and facilities in Wuxi are expected to commence in the summer of 2007.
Ms. Lei concluded, “While the Company is implementing a series of strategies to improve profitability, Nam Tai is still confident to achieve sales growth for year 2006 of approximately 10% as compared to the sales level in 2005, and annual sales growth of 12% in 2007 and 2008. With aggressive expansion plans in place and orders from both existing and new customers continuing, the Company is optimistic about its long-term prospects. It is Nam Tai’s long-term prospects and growth that is and should be the focus of our concentration, especially in this challenging business environment. Accordingly, as we previously announced on July 31, 2006, we have reconsidered our practice of providing short-term forecasts and will no longer provide quarterly sales and earnings per share guidance. Through press releases and our quarterly conference calls with interested investors and the investment community, the Company plans on continuing to furnish investors with information and insight into our strategies and key drivers of long-term financial performance, the progress of our expansion plans and trends in our business and industry necessary to understand Nam Tai’s business and operating environment.”
SARBANES-OXLEY ACT
The Company is working towards compliance with the relevant sections of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in accordance with the timetable set out by the relevant regulations.

Nam Tai’s growth, operating income, available cash, cash flows and levels of capital expenditures, and Nam Tai’s declaration or payment of dividends, 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 China 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, other unexpected project delays or unanticipated costs increases; risks of expanding into new areas such as in Eastern Europe with different languages and culture, political, monetary, economic, financial or monetary systems different from those of Hong Kong or China, where Nam Tai currently has offices or significant operations or the existence of accounting principles or controls substantially different from US GAAP under which Nam Tai reports its financial statements; 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 China 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 and by one or more the factors discussed in Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
