Risk Factors

We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements. Written forward-looking statements may appear in this document and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases, in reports to shareholders, on our website, and other documents. The Private Securities Reform Act of 1995 contains a safe harbor for forward-looking statements on which the Company relies in making such disclosures. In connection with this “safe harbor”, we are hereby identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Any such statements are qualified by reference to the following cautionary statements:

Risks Related to Our Business

statements.

We are dependent on a few large customers, the loss of any of which could substantially harm our business and operating results.

     Historically, a substantial percentage of our sales have been to a small number of customers. During the years ended December 31, 2002, 20032004, 2005 and 2004,2006, sales to our customers accounting for 10% or more of our net sales aggregated approximately 60.2%47.9%, 46.7%57.7% and 47.9%57.6%, respectively, of our net sales. The loss ofOur three largest customers during the year ended December 31, 2006 were Sanyo Epson PrecisionImaging Devices (HK) Ltd.,Limited, Sharp Corporation and Wuxi Sharp Electronic Components Co., Ltd., or Motorola Inc., each of which accounted for more than 10% of our net sales during 2004,the year. The loss of any one of our largest customers or a substantial reduction in orders from any of them would materially and adversely impact our businesssales and operating results.

decrease our net income or cause us to incur losses unless and until we were able to replace the customer or order with one or more of comparable size.

Our quarterly and annual operating results are subject to significant fluctuations fromas a result of a wide variety of factors.

     Our quarterly and annual operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results during any period. This could result from any one or a combination of factors, such as:

4


 the timing, cancellation or postponement of orders;
 
 the type of product and related margins;
 
 our customers’ announcement and introduction of new products or new generations of products;
 
 the life cycles of our customers’ products;
 
 our timing of expenditures in anticipation of future orders;

5


 
 our effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes, including, interruptions or slowdowns in production and changes in cost and availability of components; and
 
 the mix of orders filled.

     The volume and timing of orders received during a quarter are difficult to forecast. From time to time, our customers encounter uncertain and changing demand for their products. Customers generally order based on their forecasts. If demand falls below such forecasts or if customers do not control inventories effectively, they may reduce, cancel or postpone shipments of orders.

     As a consequence

     Because of any of the above factors, our operating results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of results to be expected in any future period, and fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the market price of our common shares. Our operating results of operations in future periods may fall below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. This failure to meet expectations could cause the trading price of our common shares to decline.
We face increasing competition, which has had and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our gross margins.
     Although certain barriers to entry exist in the electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, industry, including technical expertise, substantial capital requirements, difficulties relating to building customer relationships and a large customer base, the barriers to entry are comparatively low and we are aware that manufacturers in Hong Kong and China may be developing or have developed the required technical capability and customer base to compete with our existing business.
     Competition in the EMS industry is intense, characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change and competition from major international companies. Although our sales have generally increased each year, this intense competition has resulted in pricing pressures and consistently lower gross margins each year. Over the last several years, our gross margins have declined substantially and in the last three years, our gross margins have declined by:
15.4% in 2006, from 11.7% for 2005 to 9.9% for 2006,
18.2% in 2005, from 14.3% for 2004 to 11.7% for 2005; and
12.3% in 2004, from 16.3% for 2003 to 14.3% for 2004.
     If we are forced to continue to lower our unit prices and are unable to offset this decrease by increasing our sales volumes, our gross margins will continue to decline. If we cannot stem the decline substantially.in our gross margins, our ability to use internal resources to finance planned expansion may be curtailed, our dividend payments to shareholders may be decreased or eliminated, our financial position may be harmed and our stock price may fall.
We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do. We will face intense competition when we begin large-scale production of flexible printed circuit, or FPC, boards and FPC subassemblies.
     The electronic manufacturing services we provide are available from many independent sources as well as from our current and potential customers with in-house manufacturing capabilities. The following table identifies those companies who we believe are our principal competitors by category of products or services we provide:

     Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing, regional shipping capabilities and logistics support and personnel resources than we do. As a result, we may be unable to compete successfully with these organizations in the future.
     When we begin large-scale production of FPC boards and FPC subassemblies, we expect to face intense competition from large flexible printed circuit board manufacturers located in Taiwan, China, Korea, Singapore, North America and Europe as well as from large, established EMS providers that have developed or acquired, or, like us, are developing their own flexible printed circuit manufacturing capabilities, and have extensive experience in electronics assembly. Such competition could pressure us to provide discounts or lower prices to gain market share, which could adversely affect our margins and the profitability of our FPC business and could adversely affect our operating results as a whole.
Our inability to utilize capacity at our facilities could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
     In order to increase our production capacity to manufacture LCD modules and FPC subassemblies and expand our capabilities and begin manufacturing FPC boards, we are improving our existing facilities in Shenzhen, PRC in order to expand our capacity to produce FPC boards and are planning to construct new factories in both Wuxi and Shenzhen Guangming Hi-Tech Industrial Park, or Shenzhen Guangming, China. In Wuxi, our expansion plan is to construct two new factories, one to produce FPC boards and FPC subassemblies and the other mainly for LCD module production. Our current intent is to dedicate our planned new factory in Shenzhen, Guangming to produce LCD modules and other products. Through December 31, 2006, we had spent approximately $11.7 million to modify and equip our existing Shenzhen factory for FPC manufacturing and in December 2006, we spent $1.3 million and $1.5 million to acquire the land in Wuxi and to pay the initial payment for land price of Shenzhen Guangming, respectively, upon which we plan to construct new factories for FPC and LCD modules production. We have financed the improvements to our existing Shenzhen facilities, and plan to finance the planned Wuxi and Shenzhen Guangming factories, from internally generated funds, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to utilize fully the additional capacity that each of these new facilities will provide when they come on line. Our factory utilization is dependent on our success in providing manufacturing services for FPC boards, FPC subassemblies and LCD modules at a price and volume sufficient to absorb our increased overhead expenses. Demand for contract manufacturing of these products may not be as high as we expect, and we may fail to realize the expected benefit from our investments in either or both of these facilities.
Delays in constructing our new factories could adversely affect our operating results.
     Our goal is for our existing Shenzhen and new Wuxi factories to begin production of FPC boards and FPC subassemblies in mid-2007 and early 2009, respectively. We also plan to commence first phase construction of another factory building in Wuxi by the end of 2007 to manufacture LCD modules and expect production to begin in early 2010. In addition, we expect the completion of the transfer for the land in Shenzhen Guangming, where we plan to construct a new factory for the production of LCD modules and other products to be in the second quarter of 2007 and we plan to commence the first phase of construction in late 2007. In connection with constructing and improving

our manufacturing facilities, we could encounter shortages of materials or skilled labor, unforeseen engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, flood, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits from regulatory authorities, losses as a result of fraud or corruption or unanticipated costs increases. We also could be subject to delays in connection with the transfer to us of the land in Shenzhen Guangming. Any of these eventualities could extend the time for these factories to begin significant production, which, in turn would delay our receipt of anticipated revenues to be generated from such production and adversely affect our operating results.
Cancellations or delays in orders could materially and adversely affect our gross margins and operating income.

     Salesresults.

     Our sales to, our original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, customers are primarily based on purchase orders that we receive from time to time rather than firm, long-term purchase commitments. Although it is our general practice to purchase raw materials only upon receiving a purchase order, for certain customers we will occasionally purchase raw materials based on such customers’ rolling forecasts. Further, during times of potential component shortages, we have purchased, and may continue to purchase, raw materials and component parts in the expectation of receiving purchase orders for products that use these components. In the event actual purchase orders are delayed, are not received or are cancelled, we would experience increased inventory levels or possible write-down of raw material inventory that could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. In 2001, we wrote down inventory for $3.8 million for slow-moving raw materials relating to cancelled, reduced or delayed orders. Subsequently, we were able to use some of these raw materials in production or we received compensation for the unused raw materials
We do not have long-term purchase commitments from certain of our customers and the gainlife cycles of $2.0 million was recordedtheir products (and therefore ours) may be short, so our future revenues are difficult to predict.
     As our customers do not have long-term purchase commitments with us and our sales are made on individual purchase orders, our customers may cancel or defer purchase orders. In addition, the life cycles of our customers’ products (and therefore ours) may be insufficient to ensure that these increased costs can be offset. Our customers’ purchase orders may vary significantly from period to period, and it is difficult to forecast future order quantities. Further, we do not typically operate with any significant backlog in costorders, and this makes it difficult for us to forecast our revenues, plan our production and allocate resources for future periods (including our capital expenditures). There can be no assurance that the volume of sales during 2002.

If we are unable to produce our new products in a high-quality and cost-effective manner,customers’ orders will be consistent with prior periods or with our gross margins and business andexpectations. Accordingly, our operating results could be materiallymay fluctuate significantly in the future. Such fluctuations may adversely affect our liquidity, profitability, operating results and adversely affected.

financial condition.

Our business has been characterized by a rapidly changing mix of products and customers.
     Our business has been characterized by a rapidly changing mix of products and customers, driven in significant part by changes in demand for consumer electronics as well as technological innovation. We have experienced increased costs associated with developing advanced manufacturing techniques to produce our complexmanufacture headsets containing Bluetooth wireless technology, mobile phone accessories, home entertainment products, on a mass scale and at a low cost. This has negatively impacted our gross margins. For example, our initial production runs of liquid crystal display,printed circuit board assemblies, or LCD, modules experienced low production yields and other inefficiencies. We have commenced production ofPCBAs, for headsets containing BluetoothTM wireless headset accessory,technology, radio frequency, or RF, modules, thin film transistor liquid crystal display, or TFT LCD, modules, color LCD modules and complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, sensor modules, FPC boards, FPC subassemblies, and flexible printed circuit,digital audio broadcast, or FPC, sub-assemblies in relation to which we have relatively limited manufacturing experience.DAB, modules. We expect that a substantial portion of our growth will come from our manufacturethe manufacturing of these products. While we expect and plan forCertain products have become less economically significant to us over time, such increased costs in our new product manufacturing cycle, we cannot precisely predict the time and expense required to overcome initial problems and to ensure reliability and high quality at an acceptable cost. The increased costs and other difficulties associated with manufacturing RF modules, TFTas monochrome LCD modules for mobile phone headsets, for which our sales have dropped significantly in each of the past few years since 2002 as end use customers are increasingly choosing color LCD modules, CMOS sensor modules, FPC sub-assembliespanels instead. We expect that our current mix of customers and otherproducts will continue to change rapidly, and we believe this to be relatively common in the EMS industry. If the products of our customers that we manufacture become obsolete or less profitable and we are not able to diversify our product offerings or customer base in a timely manner, our business would be materially and adversely affected.
There may not be a sufficient market for new products could havethat our customers or we develop.
     Our customers may not develop new products in a negative impact ontimely and cost-effective manner, or the market for products they choose to develop may not grow or be sustained in line with their expectations. This would reduce the overall businesses they outsource, which would seriously affect our future gross margins. In addition, evenbusiness and operating results. Even if we develop capabilities to manufacture new products, there can be no guarantee that a market exists or will existdevelop for such products or that such products will adequately respond to market trends. If we invest resources to develop capabilities to manufacture or expand capabilities for existing and new products, like the investmentinvestments we are making to our existing facilities in ourShenzhen and the new factory,factories we are planning to construct in Wuxi and Guangming Shenzhen,

PRC to manufacture FPC boards, FPC subassemblies, LCD modules and other products for which a market doessales do not develop, our business and operating results would be seriously harmed. Even if the market for our services grows, it may not grow at an adequate pace.

Our inability to utilize capacity at our new factory could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

     In order to expand our production capacity, we have built a new factory consisting of approximately 265,000 square feet adjacent to our principal manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen, the People’s Republic of China, or China or the PRC. The construction was completed in December 2004 and we expect full operations to commence in April 2005. As of December 31, 2004, we had spent $15.0 million to cover the cost of construction and fixtures and equipment for the new factory. The financing for these improvements to our manufacturing facilities was obtained from our internal resources. We have committed substantial expenditures and resources constructing and equipping this factory but cannot guarantee that we will be able to fully utilize such additional capacity. Our factory utilization is dependent on our success in providing manufacturing services for new or other products that we intend to produce at that factory, such as BluetoothTM wireless headset accessory for cellular phones, CMOS sensor modules for cellular phones with built-in camera function, home entertainment products and FPC sub-assemblies at a price and volume sufficient to absorb our increased overhead expenses. Demand for contract manufacturing of these products may not be as high as we expect, and we may fail to realize the expected benefit from our investment in our new factory.

We face increasing competition, which has had an adverse effect on our margins.

     Although certain barriers to entry exist in providing electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, including technical expertise, substantial capital requirements, difficulties relating to building customer relationships and a large customer base, the barriers to entry are comparatively low and we are aware that manufacturers in Hong Kong and China may be developing or have developed the required technical capability and customer base to compete with our existing business.

     Competition in the EMS industry is intense and is characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change, and competition from major international companies. This intense competition has resulted in pricing pressures, lower sales and reduced margins. Continuing competitive pressures could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. Over the last several years our margins have declined substantially, from 17.2% in 1999 to approximately 14.3% in 2004. Continuing competitive pressures could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may not be able to compete successfully with our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do.

     The electronics manufacturing services we provide are available from many independent sources as well as from our current and potential customers with in-house manufacturing capabilities. Our EMS competitors include Celestica, Inc., Flextronics International Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., Jabil Circuit, Inc., Sanmina-SCI Corporation and Solectron Corporation. Our principal competitors in the manufacture of our traditional product lines of calculators, personal organizers and linguistic products include Kinpo Electronics, Inc. and Inventec Co. Ltd. Our competitors in the manufacturing of image capturing devices and their modules include Lite-On Technology Corporation, The Primax Group and Logitech International S.A. Our principal competitors in the manufacture of mobile phone accessories include Elcoteq Network Corp. Our competitors in the manufacturing of RF modules include Wavecom and WKK International (Holdings) Ltd. Our competitors in the manufacturing of LCD panels include Truly International Holdings Ltd. and Varitronix International Ltd. We also have numerous competitors in the telecommunication, sub-assemblies and components product lines, including Philips, Samsung, Solectron and Varitronix International Ltd. Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing, regional shipping capabilities and logistics support and personnel resources than we do. As a result, we may be unable to compete successfully with these organizations in the future.

We must spend substantial amounts to maintain and develop advanced manufacturing processes and engage additional engineering personnel in order to attract new customers and business.

     We operate in a rapidly changing industries.industry. Technological advances, the introduction of new products and new manufacturing and design techniques could materially and adversely affect our business unless we are able to adapt to those changing conditions. As a result, we are continually required to commit substantial funds for, and significant resources to, engaging additional engineering and other technical personnel and to purchase advanced design, production and test equipment.

     Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to provide new manufacturing solutions that compare favorablywhich, based on the basis of time to introduction, cost and performance with the manufacturing capabilities of OEMs and competitive third-party suppliers.suppliers compare favorably to those offered by our competitors. Our success in attracting new customers and developing new business depends on various factors, including:

 utilization of advances in technology;
 
 development of new or improved manufacturing processes for our customer’scustomers’ products;
 
 delivery of efficient and cost-effective services; and
 
 timely completion of the manufacture of new products.

Our business is capital intensive and the failure to obtain capital could require that we curtail capital expenditures.
     To remain competitive, we must continue to make significant investments in capital equipment, facilities and technological improvements. We expect that substantial capital will be required to continue to expand our manufacturing capacity and capability and provide working capital for growth. We plan to finance our expansion with capital we generate from operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient funds to conduct existing operations and fund our expansion, we may have to curtail our capital expenditures. Any curtailment of our capital expenditures could result in a reduction in net sales, further reduction or elimination of our dividends to shareholders, reduced quality of our products, increased manufacturing costs for our products, harm to our reputation, reduced manufacturing efficiencies or other harm to our business.
We generally have no written agreements with suppliers to obtain components and our margins and operating results could suffer from increases in component prices.

     We

     For certain customers, we are sometimes responsible for purchasing components used in manufacturing products for our customers.their products. We generally do not have written agreements with some of our suppliers of components. This typically results in our bearing the risk of component price increases because we may be unable to procure the required materials at a price level necessary to generate anticipated margins from the orders of our customers. Accordingly, increases in component prices could materially and adversely affect our gross margins and operating results.

Our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected if our suppliers of needed components fail to meet our needs.

     At various times, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience, shortages of some of the electronic components that we use, and suppliers of some components lack sufficient capacity to meet the demand for these components. In some cases, supply shortages and delays in deliveries of particular components have resulted in curtailed production, or delays in production, of assemblies using that component, which contributed to an increase in our inventory levels and reduction in our gross margins. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will continue. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, we may experience manufacturing delays, which could harm our relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce our sales. We also depend on a small number of suppliers for certain of the

components that we use in our business. For example, we purchase most of our integrated circuits from Cambridge Silicon Radio Plc, Toshiba Corporation and Sharp CorporationCorpo-

ration and certain of their affiliates. If we were to be unable to continue to purchase components from these limited source suppliers, our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected.

Factors affecting the electronics industry in general and our customers in particular could harm our operations.

     Most of our sales are to customers in the electronics industry, which is subject to rapid technological change, product obsolescence and short product life cycles and has suffered from an industry-wide slowdown since 2000.cycles. The factors affecting the electronics industry in general, or any of our major customers or competitors in particular, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Our success will dependdepends to a significant extent on the success achieved by our customers in developing and marketing their products, including theirespecially products that use RF modules, color straight-twisted nematic, or STN, LCD modules, TFT LCD modules, CMOS sensor modules, FPC subassemblies and FPC sub-assemblies,boards, and DAB modules, some of which may be new and untested. If our customers’ products become obsolete, fail to gain widespread commercial acceptance or become the subject of intellectual property disputes, our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Future acquisitions or strategic investments may not be successful and may harm our operating results.

     An important element of our strategy is to review prospects for acquisition or strategic investments that would complement our existing companies and products, augment our market coverage and distribution ability or enhance our technological capabilities.

     Future acquisitions or strategic investments could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results because of:

•   possible charges to operating results for purchased technology, restructuring or impairment charges related to goodwill or amortization expenses associated with intangible assets;
•   potential increase in our expenses and working capital requirements and the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities;
•   difficulties in successfully integrating any acquired operations, technologies, customers products and businesses with our operations;
•   diversion of our capital and management’s attention to other business concerns;
•   risks of entering markets or geographic areas in which we have limited prior experience; or
•   potential loss of key employees of acquired organizations or inability to hire key employees necessary for expansion.

     For example, in September 2004, we made an impairment to write down our $10.0 million investment in Alpha Star Investments Ltd. to its fair value of approximately $3.0 million, based on advice from an external valuer.

Our customers are dependent on shipping companies for delivery of our products and interruptions to shipping could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

     Our customers rely on a variety of carriers for product transportation through various world ports. A work stoppage, strike or shutdown of one or more major ports or airports could result in shipping delays materially and adversely affecting our customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. Similarly, an increase in freight surcharges due tofrom rising fuel costs or general price increases could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Because our operations are international, we are subject to significant worldwide political, economic, legal and other uncertainties.

     We are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and have subsidiaries incorporated in the Cayman Islands, China, Japan, Hong Kong Macao, Japan and China.Macao. We have administrative offices in Macao and Hong Kong and Macao. We manufacture all of our products in China. As of December 31, 2004,2006, approximately 86.7%99.7% of the net book value of our total fixed assets isproperty, plant and equipment was located in China. We sell our products to customers in Hong Kong, North America, Europe, Japan, China and Southeast Asia. Our international operations may beare subject to significant political and economic risks and legal uncertainties, including:

 changes in economic and political conditions and in governmental policies;
 
 changes in international and domestic customs regulations;
 
 wars, civil unrest, acts of terrorism and other conflicts;
 
 changes in tariffs, trade restrictions, trade agreements and taxation;
 
 difficulties in managing or overseeing foreign operations; and
 
 limitations on the repatriation of funds because of foreign exchange controls.

     The occurrence or consequences of any of these factors may restrict our ability to operate in the affected region and decrease the profitability of our operations in that region.

Our operating results could be negatively impacted by seasonality.

     Historically, our sales and operating results have been affected by seasonality. Sales of calculators, personal organizersproducts and linguisticcomponents related to mobile phones have generally been lower in the first quarter after peaking fourth quarter. Sales of educational products and home entertainment devices are typicallyoften higher during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the start of the school year and the Christmas buying season. Similarly, our consumers’ orders for consumer electronics products have historically been lower in the first quarter from both the closing of our factories in China for the ChineseLunar New Year holidays and the general reduction in sales following the holiday season. These sales patterns may not be indicative of future sales performance.

Our results could be harmed if we have to complyadversely affected with newintensifying environmental regulations.

     Our operations create some environmentally sensitive waste, that may increasewhich involves the use and disposal of chemicals, solid and hazardous waste and other toxic and hazardous materials used in the future depending on the nature of our manufacturing operations.process. The general issue of the disposal of hazardous waste has received increasing attention from Chinese national and local governments and foreign governments and agencies and has been subject to increasing regulation. Currently, relevant Chinese environmental protection laws and regulations impose fines on discharge of waste materials and empower certain environmental authorities to close any facility whichthat causes serious environmental problems. Although it hasThe costs of remedying violations or resolving enforcement actions that might be initiated by governmental authorities could be substantial. Any remediation of environmental contamination would involve substantial expense that could harm our operating results. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations may be subject or the manner in which existing or future laws will be administered or interpreted. Future regulations may be applied to materials, products or activities that have not been allegedsubject to regulation previously. The costs of complying with new or more stringent regulations could be significant.
Future acquisitions or strategic investments may not be successful and may harm our operating results.
     From time to time, we review prospects for acquisition or strategic investments that we believe would complement our existing business and products, augment our market coverage and distribution ability or enhance our technological capabilities. Future acquisitions or strategic investments could have violated any current environmental regulations by China government officials, there is no assurance that the Chinese government will not amend its current environmental protection laws and regulations. Oura material adverse effect on our business and operating results could be materiallybecause of:

Our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the risks related to our operations and losses.

     We have not experienced any major accidents in the course of our operations, which have caused significant property damage or personal injuries. However, there is no assurance that we will not experience major accidents in the future. Although we have purchased the necessary insurances,insurance against various risks, including a business interruption, policy, a fidelity guarantee policy and policies covering losses or damages in respect of buildings’ machineries, equipmentsto our buildings, machinery, equipment and inventories, the occuranceoccurrence of certain incidents such as earthquake, war, pandemics, and flood, and the consequences resulting from them, may not be covered adequately, or at all, by the insurance policies under which we are protected.maintain.

We are a defendant in putative class action lawsuits and this litigation could harmadversely affect our business regardless of the final outcome.

     On March 11, 2003,

     As we were served with a complainthave previously reported, we and certain of our directors are defendants in an action captionedconsolidated class actions entitledMichael Rocco v.vs. Nam Tai Electronics et al.al., 03 Civ. 1148 (S.D.N.Y.), or the Rocco Action. In addition to Nam Tai, certain directors are named as defendants. On or about April 9, 2003, a second complaint was filed in an action captionedA.J. & Celine Steigler v. Nam Tai, et al., 03 Civ. 2462 (S.D.N.Y.) or the Steigler Action, and together with the Rocco Action, the Actions. The Actions have been consolidated since JulyLead Case No. 03-cv-01148-JES, originally commenced on February 20, 2003 and pending in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiffs purport to represent a putative class of persons who purchased theour common stock of Nam Taishares from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003.

Any adverse determination in this litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities,the payment of material amounts, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously.
We have suffered material losses from litigation involving claims against Tele-Art Inc. and related proceedings, and may suffer additional losses and be unable to succeed in recovering on our judgments against Tele-Art Inc.
     For a number of years, we have been involved in litigation against Tele-Art Inc, its initial liquidator and the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, or the Bank of China, formerly known as Bank of China Hong Kong Branch, concerning, among things, the priority of claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s insolvent estate and Nam Tai’s rights to have redeemed in 1999 and 2002 an aggregate of 308,227 of the common shares of Nam Tai beneficially held by Tele-Art Inc. in order to satisfy a portion of Nam Tai’s claims against Tele-Art Inc. After several decisions by the courts of the British Virgin Islands and appeals in these proceedings, judgment was rendered on November 20, 2006 by the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom (the “Judgment”) declaring that:
the redemptions by Nam Tai of common shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art Inc. that Nam Tai effected on January 22, 1999 and August 12, 2002 were nullities,
the register of members of Nam Tai (i.e., Nam Tai’s shareholders’ register) should be rectified to reinstate the redeemed shares together with any other Nam Tai shares which have since accrued by way of exchange or alldividend, and
the reinstated shares should be delivered to the Bank of China as the holder of a security interest in Tele-Art Inc.’s assets.
     Since our redemptions of 308,227 shares occurred before our three-for-one stock split and one-for-ten stock dividend that we effected in 2003, the total number shares that are being reinstated for delivery to the Bank of China as a result of the Privy Council’s judgment amount to 1,017,149 of our common shares.
     We have accounted for the obligation to reinstate the redeemed shares at their fair value (i.e. market closing price) on November 20, 2006, the date of the Judgment. Based on the proceedings with respect to the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc., any proceeds from sales of the shares by the Bank of China after the deduction of its valid claims and other costs and expenses of the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc., together with any Nam Tai shares remaining after the Bank of China’s sales of that collateral, are to be shared among Nam Tai and two other unsecured creditors on a pro-rata basis up to the amount of their valid claims against Tele-Art Inc. Nam Tai has been advised that of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation, approximately 95% consist of Nam Tai’s judgment against Tele-Art Inc. that the High Court of Justice in the British Virgin Islands awarded to Nam Tai in the amount of $34 million, plus interest, that resulted from damages Nam Tai suffered from a 1993 injunction obtained by Tele-Art Inc. The remainder of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation consist of Nam Tai’s claims for other amounts owed to it by Tele-Art Inc., which aggregate to approximately 4% of the total unsecured claims in the liquidation, with the balance of the aggregate unsecured claims consisting of those of two other unsecured creditors of Tele-Art Inc.
     The amount actually recoverable, if any, by Nam Tai on its judgments against Tele-Art Inc. and other claims will depend on the price realized by the liquidator if and when Nam Tai’s shares are sold to satisfy creditors’ claims against Tele-Art Inc. and thus is dependent on the market price at the time of sale as well as the actual amounts of the claims of the Bank of China and the other creditors against Tele-Art Inc. and ultimate expenses of the liquidator. Because of uncertainties relating to the timing of the Bank of China’s actions with respect to the disposition of the Nam

12


Tai shares to be delivered to it pursuant to the Judgment, including the timing of any sales and the amount of proceeds to be realized, the actual amount of the Bank of China’s claims, including interest, costs and expenses, whether the Bank of China actually remits any excess proceeds or shares to the liquidator for the benefit of Tele-Art Inc.’s unsecured creditors, the uncertain effect of any claims that Nam Tai may assert against the Bank of China, the possibility that Nam Tai will be forced to seek further recourse from the courts in an effort to protect its position and the timing, cost and uncertain success of such recourse, Nam Tai has determined not to record any value in its financial statements to a potential recovery on its unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s estate in liquidation until Nam Tai’s prospects of recovery, if any, become reasonably certain. We may incur substantial additional costs in pursuing our recovery, and neither the amount of our judgments against Tele-Art Inc. nor such costs may be recoverable.
     We have not paid dividends on the redeemed shares since 1997 and at March 1, 2007, the amount that would have accrued on the redeemed shares had such shares not been redeemed totaled approximately $5.6 million. Although the Privy Council did not address the issue of entitlement to post redemption dividends in its Judgment of November 20, 2006, following the Judgment, the Bank of China made claim to such dividends, a claim that Nam Tai has denied. Litigation may ensue over the Bank of China’s or the liquidator of Tele-Art Inc.’s right to the dividends and if we cannot successfully prevail on such claim or claims, of which there can be no assurance, we will suffer additional losses on account of having redeemed Tele-Art Inc.’s shares.
We could become involved in intellectual property disputes.
     We do not have any patents, licenses, or trademarks material to our business. Instead, we rely on trade secrets, industry expertise and our customers sharing of intellectual property with us. However, there can be no assurance that such intellectual property is not in violation of that belonging to other parties. We may be notified that we are infringing patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by other parties. In the event of an infringement claim, we may be required to spend a significant amount of money to develop a non-infringing alternative or to obtain licenses. We may not be successful in developing such an alternative or obtaining a license on reasonable terms, if at all. Any litigation, even without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on our executive officers and skilled management personnel.

     Our success depends to a large extentlargely upon the continued services of our executive officers. Generally, ourthese employees are bound by employment or non-competition agreements. However, we cannot assure you that we will retain our executive officers and other key employees. We could be seriously harmed by the loss of any of our executive officers. In order to manage our growth, we will need to recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to continue to grow could be harmed. We maintain no key person insurance on these individuals. The loss of service of any of these officers or key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business growth and operating results.

We may be unable to succeed

Labor shortages in recovering onSouthern China could adversely affect our judgment debts against Tele-Art, Inc.

     Wegross margins or decrease revenue.

     To date, we have two judgments in our favor against Tele-Art, Inc. awarded by The High Court of Justice in the British Virgin Islands for approximately $35.0 million. Because Tele-Art, Inc. is in liquidation, we may not realize the entire amountconducted all of our judgments, and the actual amountmanufacturing operations in Southern China, where we have been able to take advantage of the recovery, if any, is uncertainlower overhead costs and dependent oninexpensive labor rates as compared to Hong Kong. Historically, there has been an abundance of labor in Southern China, but over the last few years, factories in Southern China are facing a number of factors. We may incur substantial additional costs in pursuinglabor shortage as migrant workers and middle level management seek better wages and working conditions elsewhere. If this trend continues and adversely affects our recovery,ability to recruit or retain necessary workers and such costs may notmanagement personnel, our operations could be recoverable.

We could become involved in intellectual property disputes.

We are subject to the risk of increased taxes.

Our tax position, however, is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law. We cannot determine in advance the extent to which some jurisdictions may assess additional tax or interest and penalties on such additional taxes.

Our taxes could increase if certain tax holidays or incentives are retracted, or if they are not renewed upon expiration, or tax rates applicable to us in such jurisdictions are otherwise increased.

Recently enacted changes

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that became law in July 2002 has required changes in some of our corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices.

Risks Related to Our Operationssubsidiaries in China Hong Kong, Macao and Japan

     Our manufacturing facilities are locatedto us is subject to restrictions under PRC law.

     Under PRC law, dividends may be paid only out of distributable profits. Distributable profits with respect to our subsidiaries in China refers to after-tax profits as determined in accordance with accounting principles and somefinancial regulations applicable to PRC enterprises, or China GAAP, less any recovery of our subsidiariesaccumulated losses and severalallocations to statutory funds that it is required to make. Any distributable profits that are not distributed in a given year are retained and available for distribution in subsequent years. The calculation of our customers and suppliers are locateddistributable profits under China GAAP differs in Hong Kong and China. Some of our subsidiaries are located in Hong Kong, Macao and Japan.many respects from the calculation under U.S. GAAP. As a result, our operations and assets are subject to significant political, economic, legal and other uncertainties associated with doing businesssubsidiaries in China Hong Kong, Macaomay not be able to pay any dividend in a given year as determined under U.S. GAAP. The China’s tax authorities may require changes in determining income of the Company that would limit its ability to pay dividends and Japan,make other distributions. PRC law requires companies to set aside a portion of net income to fund certain reserves for future development and staff welfare, which amounts are discussednot distributable as dividends. These rules and possible changes could restrict our PRC subsidiaries from repatriating funds ultimately to us and our stockholders as dividends. Accordingly, since we derive a majority of our profits from our subsidiaries in more detail below.

WeChina, we may not have sufficient distributable profits to pay dividends to our shareholders.

If certain exemptions within the PRC regarding withholding taxes are exposed to risks associated with doing business in China.

     Our principal manufacturing operations are located in Shenzhen, China. These operations could be severely impacted by evolving interpretation and enforcement of legal standards, by strains on Chinese energy, transportation, communications, trade and other infrastructures, by conflicts, embargoes, increased tensions or escalation of hostilities between China and Taiwan, and by other trade customs and practices that are dissimilar to those in the United States and Europe. Interpretation and enforcement of China’s laws and regulations continue to evolve and we expect differences in interpretation and enforcement to continue in the foreseeable future. Further,removed, we may be exposedrequired to fluctuationsdeduct China’s corporate withholding taxes from any dividends that are paid to us by our PRC subsidiaries, which will reduce the return on investment.

     Under current PRC tax laws, regulations and rulings, companies are exempt from withholding taxes with respect to dividends paid to stockholders of PRC companies outside the PRC. If the PRC government eliminated this exemption, we may be required to withhold such taxes, which will reduce our revenues as a parent company and the amount of retained earnings that we may distribute to our stockholders.
Changes in the value ofeconomic and political environment in China and policies adopted by the renminbi yuan, or RMB, the local currency of China. Recently, China has been confronted with international pressure demanding the appreciation of the RMB. Should the ChinesePRC government allow a significant RMB appreciation, our component and other raw material costs could increase and couldto regulate its economy may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial results.

The Chinese government could change its policies toward, or even nationalize, private enterprise, which could harmcondition.

     All of our businessmanufacturing facilities and operating results.

     Overmost of our operations are in China. China’s economy differs from the past several years,economies of most countries belonging to the Chinese governmentOrganization for Economic Cooperation and Development in respect of various areas such as structure, governmental involvement, level of development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, rate of inflation and balance of payments position. Prior to 1978, China’s economy was a planned economy. Subsequently, increasing emphasis has pursued economic reform policiesbeen placed on the utilization of market forces in the development of China’s economy, including the encouragement of private economic activities and decentralization of economic regulation with a move towards a market economy. The ChineseHowever, the PRC government may notretains a large role in industrial output (which is majority state-owned), the allocation of resources, production, pricing and management, and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue these policies ora policy of economic reform and they may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time without notice. ChangesFurthermore, in policiesall cases we may not be able to capitalize on the economic reform measures adopted by the ChinesePRC government. Our operations and financial results could be adversely affected by changes in political, economic and social conditions or the relevant policies of the PRC government, resulting insuch as changes in laws and regulations (or the interpretations thereof), measures which might be introduced to control inflation, changes in the rate or their interpretation, or themethod of taxation, imposition of confiscatory taxation,additional restrictions on currency conversion or imports and sourcesthe imposition of supply could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.additional import restrictions. The nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises by the ChinesePRC government could result in the total loss of our investment in China.

Furthermore,

significant portions of economic activities in China are export-driven at present and, therefore, are affected by developments in the economies of China’s principal trading partners and other export-driven economies.
The ChinesePRC legal system has inherent uncertainties that could materially and adversely impact our ability to enforce the agreements governing our factories and to do business.

     We do not own the land on which our factories in China are located.

     We occupy our principal manufacturing facilities under China land use agreements with agencies of the ChinesePRC government and we occupy other facilities under lease agreements with peasant collectives or other companies.the relevant landlord. The performance of these agreements and the operations of our factories are dependent on our relationship with the local government.governments in regions, which our facilities are located. Our operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected by the failure of the local government to honor these agreements or an adverse change in the law governing them. In the event of a dispute, enforcement of these agreements could be difficult in China. Unlike the United States, China has a civil law system based on written statutes in which judicial decisions have limited precedential value. The Chinese government of China has enacted laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreign investment, commerce, taxation and trade. However, its experience in implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claims or to resolve commercial disputes in China is unpredictable. These matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretion by agencies of the ChinesePRC government, and forces and factors unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination.

Fire, severe weather, flood or earthquake could cause significant damage to our facilities in China and disrupt our business operations.

     Our products are manufactured exclusively at our factories located in China. Fire fighting and disaster relief or assistance in China is not well developed. Material damage to, or the loss of, our factories due to fire, severe weather, flood, earthquake or other acts of God or cause may not be adequately covered by proceeds of our insurance coverage and could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. In addition, any interruptions to our business caused by such disasters could harm our business and operating results.

Controversies affecting China’s trade with the United States could harm our operating results of operations or depress our stock price.

     While China has been granted permanent most favored nation trade status in the United States through its entry into the World Trade Organization, controversies between the United States and China may arise that threaten the status quo involving trade between the United States and China. These controversies could materially and adversely affect our business by, among other things, causing our products in the United States to become more expensive resulting in a reduction in thereduced demand for our products by customers in the United States.those customers. Political or trade friction between the United States and China, whether or not actually affecting our business, could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares.
A deterioration of relations between China and Japan may harm our business.
     While our production facilities are located in China, we derive a substantial amount of our sales from Japanese customers. With respect to our major customers accounting for 10% or more of our net sales, customers in Japan represented approximately 37.7%, 57.7% and 57.6% of our net sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Our business is therefore vulnerable to any deterioration of relations or disruption of trade between China and Japan.
     Beginning in the spring of 2005, relations between China and Japan grew increasingly strained. This culminated in a week of anti-Japan protests throughout China, which included attacks on Japanese citizens and property and a boycott on Japanese imports. While relations between Japan and China appeared to improve during 2006, if relations again become strained, our Japanese customers and other companies based in Japan may become reluctant to outsource manufacturing to us and other EMS providers based in China. There is also the possibility that our operations in China could be targeted by anti-Japan protestors or for boycotts because of the presence of a number of our managers and employees who are Japanese or because of our relationships with Japanese customers. A reduction in business from Japanese customers or harm cause to our facilities or personnel from anti-Japanese sentiment could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
The economy of China has been experiencing significant growth, leading to some inflation. If the government tries to control inflation by traditional means of monetary policy or returns to planned economic techniques, our business will suffer a reduction in sales growth and expansion opportunities.
     The rapid growth of the PRC economy has historically resulted in high levels of inflation. If the government tries to control inflation, it may have an adverse effect on the business climate and growth of private enterprise in the PRC. An economic slowdown may increase our costs. If inflation is allowed to proceed unchecked, our costs would likely increase, and there can be no assurance that we would be able to increase our prices to an extent that would offset the increase in our expenses.

Changes to ChinesePRC tax laws and heightened efforts by the ChineseChina’s tax authorities to increase revenues could subject us to greater taxes.

     Under applicable ChinesePRC law, we have been afforded a number of tax concessions by, and tax refunds from, the ChineseChina’s tax authorities on a substantial portion of our operations in China by reinvesting all or part of the profits attributable to our ChinesePRC manufacturing operations. However, the ChinesePRC tax system is subject to substantial uncertainties with respect to its interpretation and enforcement. Following the ChinesePRC government’s program of privatizing many state-owned enterprises, the ChinesePRC government has attempted to augment its revenues through heightened tax collection efforts. Continued efforts by the ChinesePRC government to increase tax revenues could result in decisions or interpretations of the tax laws by the ChineseChina’s tax authorities that would increase our future tax liabilities or deny us expected concessions or refunds. For example, thePRC tax reform, of reducingwhich reduced the value added tax, or VAT, tax refund from 17% to 13%, with effect fromeffective January 1, 2004, has adversely affected our margins.

Although, the PRC reinstated the VAT tax refund rate for certain products to 17% in mid-September 2006, such reinstatement did not cover all products and certain of our products remain limited to a VAT refund rate of 13% or less.

Changes in foreign exchange regulations of China could adversely affect our operating results.
     Some of our earnings are denominated in yuan, the base unit of the RMB. The People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, regulate the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. Under the current unified floating exchange rate system, the People’s Bank of China publishes a daily exchange rate for RMB based on the previous day’s dealings in the inter-bank foreign exchange market. Financial institutions may enter into foreign exchange transactions at exchange rates within an authorized range above or below the exchange rate published by the People’s Bank of China according to the market conditions. Since 1996, the PRC government has issued a number of rules, regulations and notices regarding foreign exchange control designed to provide for greater convertibility of RMB. Under such regulations, any foreign investment enterprise, or FIE, must establish a “current account” and a “capital account” with a bank authorized to deal in foreign exchange. Currently, FIEs are able to exchange RMB into foreign exchange currencies at designated foreign exchange banks for settlement of current account transactions, which include payment of dividends based on the board resolutions authorizing the distribution of profits or dividends of the company concerned, without the approval of SAFE. Conversion of RMB into foreign currencies for capital account transactions, which include the receipt and payment of foreign exchange for loans, capital contributions and the purchase of fixed assets, continues to be subject to limitations and requires the approval of SAFE. Our subsidiaries in China are all FIEs and subject to the laws of China to which such regulations apply. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient foreign exchange to make relevant payments or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements in the future.
Our financial results have been affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Changes in currency rates involving the Japanese yen Hong Kong dollar or Chinese renminbi could increase our expenses.

     Our financial results have been affected by currency fluctuations, resulting in total foreign exchange gains of approximately $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2006, total foreign exchange gains of approximately $2.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2005 and total foreign exchange gains of $189,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004, total foreign exchange losses of $62,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and total foreign exchange losses of $345,000 during the year ended December 31, 2002.2004.
     We sell most of our products in United StatesU.S. dollars and pay our expenses in United StatesU.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars and Chinese renminbi.RMB. While we face a variety of risks associated with changes among the relative value of these currencies, we believe the most significant exchange risk presently results from material purchases we make in Japanese yen.yen and expenses we pay in RMB.
     Approximately 8%6%, 16%3% and 6%11% of our material costs have been in Japanese yen during the years ended December 31, 2002, 20032004, 2005 and 2004,2006, respectively, but sales made in Japanese yen accounted for less than 11%only 4%, 2% and 9%, respectively, of our sales for each of the last three years. AnDuring the year ended December 31, 2006, the exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the U.S. dollar fluctuated above and below the rate at December 31, 2005, but at December 31, 2006, the exchange rate of Japanese yen to the U.S. dollar had increased approximately 1% from the level at the end of December 31, 2005. This fluctuation resulted in a slight increase in our material costs during 2006 but it did not have a material impact on our 2006 financial results as compared to those in 2005. A future appreciation of the Japanese yen against the United States dollarU.S. dollars would increase our expensescosts when translated into United StatesU.S. dollars and would materially andcould adversely affect our margins unless we made sufficient sales in Japanese yen to offset against material purchases we made in Japanese yen.

     Approximately 8% and 6% of our revenues and 12% and 12% of our expenses were in Chinese renminbi and Hong Kong dollars, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2004. Approximately 1% and 8% of our revenues and 13% and 12% of our expenses were in Chinese renminbi and Hong Kong dollars, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2003. An appreciation of the Chinese renminbi or Hong Kong dollar against the United States dollar would increase our expenses when translated into United States dollars and could materially and adversely affect our margins. In addition, a significant devaluation in the Chinese renminbi or Hong Kong dollar could harm our business if it destabilizes the economy of China or Hong Kong, creates serious domestic problems or increases our borrowing costs.

1016


     Approximately 3% and nil of our sales, 10% and 9% of our total costs and expenses and 3% and 2% of our material costs were in RMB during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Between 1994 and July 2005, the market and official RMB rates were unified and the value of the RMB was essentially pegged to the U.S. dollar and was relatively stable. On July 21, 2005, the People’s Bank of China adjusted the exchange rate of RMB to the U.S. dollar by linking the RMB to a basket of currencies and simultaneously setting the exchange rate of RMB to U.S. dollars, from 1:8.27, to a narrow band of around 1:8.11, resulting in an approximate 2.4% appreciation in the value of the RMB against the U.S. dollars at the end of 2005, from the July 21, 2005 RMB adjustment, a 3.3% appreciation at the end of 2006 as compared to the end of 2005 and 5.7% cumulative appreciation at the end of 2006 as compared to the level immediately prior to the July 21, 2005 adjustment in the exchange rate. This RMB appreciation to the U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in our total costs and expenses of approximately 0.5% based on the difference between our sales made in RMB versus our total costs and expenses incurred in RMB.
     If the trend of RMB appreciation to the U.S. dollar continues or the PRC government allows a further and significant RMB appreciation, our operating costs would further increase and our financial results would be adversely affected unless our renminbi denominated sales increased commensurately. If we determined to pass onto our customers through price increases the effect of increases in the RMB relative to the U.S. dollars, it would make our products more expensive in global markets, such as the United States and the European Union. This could result in the loss of customers, who may seek, and be able to obtain, products and services comparable to those we offer in lower-cost regions of the world. If we did not increase our prices to pass on the effect of increases in the RMB relative to the U.S. dollars, our margins and profitability would suffer.
We have suffered losses from hedging against our currency exchange risk.

     From time to time, we have attempted to hedge our currency exchange risk. Werisk, but we did not engage in currency hedging transactions for fiscal year 2003during 2004, 2005 and 2004. We have experienced in2006. In the past, and may experience in the futurewe have experienced losses as a result of currency hedging.

hedging and may do so again in the future.

Political and economic instability in Hong Kong could harm our operations.

     Some of our subsidiaries’ offices and several of our customers and suppliers are located in Hong Kong, formerly a British Crown Colony. SovereigntyThe PRC resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong was resumed by China effective July 1, 1997. Since then, Hong Kong has become a Special Administrative Region of China, enjoying a high degree of autonomy except for foreign and defense affairs. Moreover, China’s political system and policies are not practiced in Hong Kong. Under the principle of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong maintains a legal system that is based on the common law and is different from that of China. It is generally acknowledged as an open question whether Hong Kong’s future prosperity in its role as a hub and gateway to China after China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, (introducingwhich is introducing a market liberalization in China)China, will be diminished. The continued stability of political, economic or commercial conditions in Hong Kong remains uncertain, and any instability could materially and adversely impactinfluence our business and operating results.

Power shortages in China could affect our business.
     We consume substantial amounts of electricity in our manufacturing processes at our production facilities in China. Certain parts of China have been subject to power shortages in recent years. We have experienced a number of power shortages at our production facilities in China to date. We are sometimes given advance notice of power shortages and in relation to this we currently have a backup power system. However, there can be no assurance that in the future our backup power system will be completely effective in the event of a power shortage, particularly if that power shortage is over a sustained period of time and/or we are not given advance notice thereof. Any power shortage, brownout or blackout for a significant period of time may disrupt our manufacturing, and as a result, may have an adverse impact on our business.
The recurrence of SARS in China, the potential outbreak of avian flu in China, or similar adverse public health developments, and concerns over the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome or similar illnessesthese diseases in China and elsewhere, may have a negative impact onmaterially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

     In March

     From December 2002 to June 2003, several economies in Asia, including Hong KongChina and southern China, where our operations are located, were affected by thecertain other countries experienced an outbreak of a new and highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. If there isOn July 5, 2003, the World Health Organization declared that the SARS outbreak had been contained. Since September 2003,

17


however, a number of isolated new cases of SARS have been reported, most recently in central China in April 2004. During May and June of 2003, many businesses in China were closed by the PRC government to prevent transmission of SARS. Recently, concerns have been raised with respect to the spread of avian flu in various regions in China. Any recurrence of a seriousthe SARS outbreak, outbreak of SARS, itavian flu, or the development of a similar health hazard in China, may adversely affect our business and operating results. For example, the futureinstance, a recurrence of SARS, outbreak could result in quarantines or closures to some of our factories if our employees are infected with SARS and ongoing concerns regarding SARS, particularly its effect on travel, could negatively impact our China-based customers and suppliers and our business and operating results.

     In addition, there has recently been an outbreak of avian influenza in humans in Asian countries, including Vietnam, South Korea and Japan, which has proven fatal in some instances. As the human death toll continuesflu or any other epidemic may lead to grow, many are concerned that the virus will mutate and trigger a human pandemic. If such an outbreak were to spread to southern China, where our operation facilities are located, it may adversely affecthealth or other government regulations requiring temporary closure of our business, or the businesses of our suppliers or customers, which will severely disrupt our business operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We conduct operations in a number of countries

Our products are sold internationally and the effect of business, legal and political risks associated with international operations could significantly harm us.

We conduct operations in number of countries.

     Our products are sold internationally. There are risks inherent in doing business in international markets, including:

•   Difficulties in staffing and managing international operations;
•   Compliance with laws and regulations, including environmental laws, which vary from country to country and over time, increasing the costs of compliance and potential risks of non-compliance;
•   Exposure to political and financial instability, leading to currency exchange losses, collection difficulties or other losses;
•   Exposure to fluctuations in the value of local currencies;
•   Changes in value-added tax or VAT reimbursement;
•   Imposition of currency exchange controls; and
•   Delays from customs brokers or government agencies.

     Exposure to political and financial instability, leading to currency exchange losses, collection difficulties or other losses;
     Exposure to fluctuations in the value of local currencies;
     Changes in value-added tax, or VAT, reimbursement;
     Imposition of currency exchange controls; and
     Delays from customs brokers or government agencies.
Any of these risks could significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Our Industry

We are exposed to general economic conditions. Any slowdown in the technology products industry may affect our business and operating results adversely.

     As

     In the past, as a result of the economic downturn in the United States and internationally, and reduced capital spending, sales to OEMs in the electronics industry declined beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2001 and continuing through 2002. Lower consumer demand and high customer inventory levels have resulted in the delay and cancellation of orders for nearly all types of electronic products. As a result of order cancellations in 2001, we were required to write down slow-moving inventory, which materially and adversely impactedsubstantially. While our net income in 2001. Although the industry experienced a recovery in 2003 and 2004,market has recovered, we cannot assure you that this recovery is sustainable or that the industry will not further decline. Ifagain suffer declines similar to the economic conditionsdeclines that occurred in 2001 and 2002, or worse.
We are exposed to impact of global business trends in the United States ormobile phone industry, which could result in even lower gross margins on the other marketsmobile phone components and subassemblies we serve worsen, particularlymanufacture.
     During the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 84% of our sales were derived from subassemblies and components for mobile phones and mobile phone accessories. Accordingly, any fluctuations in the electronics and contract manufacturing businesses particularly,size of the mobile phone market, market trends, increased competition or if a wider or global economic slowdown occurs, this could materially and adversely impactpricing pressure of mobile phone industry may affect our business and operating results.

For example, the mobile phone industry has been experiencing rapid growth, particularly from emerging economies such as India and China. The growth in these markets, however, does not necessarily translate into increased margins or growing profits as mobile phones sold in developing countries are typically stripped down to basic features and sold for low prices. Competition in developing markets is fierce, even more intense than in countries with advanced economies. Accordingly, we expect that our margins and profitability of the components and assemblies we manufacture for use in mobile phones that our customers target for emerging economies to continue to undergo severe pricing pressures, resulting in lower margins on these products than those we have experienced historically.
Actual or perceived health risks associated with the use of mobile phone handsets or other communications equipment could negatively affect our business.
     There have been public concerns about health risks arising from electromagnetic fields generated by mobile phone handsets. Any perceived risks or new findings, regardless of their scientific foundation, concerning the potential adverse health effects of mobile communications equipment could negatively affect our reputation and brand value, or that of our direct or indirect customers, and could result in a reduction in sales. We cannot assure you that we will not become the subject of product liability claims or be held liable for such claims or be required to comply with future regulatory changes that may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business and operating results are dependent on growing global outsourcing trends.

     Over the last two decades, the EMS industry experienced rapid change and growth as the capabilities of EMS companies continued to expand and consumer electronic product manufacturers adopted, and became increasingly reliant on, manufacturing outsourcing strategies to remain competitive. Despite the slow down of the EMS industry in 2001 and 2002 as a result of consumer electronic product manufacturers’ decreasing production requirement, growth has been renewed in 2003 and 2004 and we believe that the EMS industry has the potential for further growth as many consumer electronic product manufacturers continue to favor outsourcing over internal manufacturing, and the market for outsourcing, as a whole, continues to flourish. However, there can be no assurance that the trends of adopting manufacturing outsourcing strategies by consumer electronic product manufacturers will continue to grow. If the growing outsourcing trends discontinue, this could materially and adversely impact our business and operating results.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Shares

The market price of our shares will likely be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations.

     The markets for equity securities have been volatile and the price of our common shares has been and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to variations in operating results, news announcements, trading volume, sales of common shares by our officers, directors and our principal shareholders, customers, suppliers or other publicly traded companies, general market trends both domestically and internationally, currency movements and interest rate fluctuations. CertainThe sale of the 1,017,149 of our common shares that we reinstate as a result of the November 2006 judgment of the Privy Council, or even the availability of such shares for sale, could have a negative impact on the prevailing market price of our shares. Other events, such as the issuance of common shares upon the exercise of our outstanding stock options could also materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares.

     Further, the stock markets have recentlyoften experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies and that have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

The concentration of share ownership in our senior management allows them to control or substantially influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.

On February 28, 2005,March 1, 2007, members of our senior management and Board of Directors as a group beneficially owned approximately 42.0%28.4% of our common shares. As a result, acting together, they may be able to control and substantially influence the outcome of all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. This ability may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Nam Tai, or causing a change in control of Nam Tai that may not be favored by our other shareholders.

If we do not receive an unqualified opinion on

Regulatory initiatives in the adequacyUnited States, higher insurance costs and new and potentially new accounting pronouncements could adversely impact our future operating results and, in the case of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s or FASB’s, recent pronouncement regarding the expensing of stock options, has adversely impacted, and will continue to, adversely impact, our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 and future year-ends as required by Section 404 ofresults.
     In the United States, there have been regulatory changes, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 investors could lose confidenceand changes in the reliabilitycontinued listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange, and new accounting pronouncements and there may be new regulatory legislation and rule and accounting changes, which may have an adverse impact on our future financial statements, which could result in a decreaseposition and operating results. These regulatory changes and other legislative initiatives have increased general and administrative costs of the companies that are subject to them, including foreign private issuers like Nam Tai having securities traded in the value of our shares.

Risks Related to Our Foreign Private Issuer Status

It may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against our management or us.

     We are a British Virgin Islands holding corporation with subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Macao, Japan and China. We have appointed Stephen Seung, 2 Mott Street, Suite 601, New York, New York 10013 as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States. However, outside the United States, it may be difficult for investors to enforce judgments against us obtained in the United States in any of these actions, including actions based upon civil liability provisions of the Federal securities laws. In addition,Substantially, all of our officers andassets are located in the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and executive officers reside outsidewithin the United States,PRC or Hong Kong, and substantially all of our assets, and the assets of thosethese persons who reside outside of the United States, are located outside ofwithin the United States. As a result, itPRC or Hong Kong. It may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside the PRC or Hong Kong upon those persons,our directors, or executive officers, including effecting service of process with respect to enforce against those persons or use judgments obtained inmatters arising under United States courts grounded upon the liability provisions of the United Statesfederal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. There is substantial doubt as toThe PRC does not have treaties providing for the enforceability against us or any of our directorsreciprocal recognition and officers located outside of the United States in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States courtsand many other countries. As a result, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of liabilities based solely onjudgments of a court in the United States or many other jurisdictions in relation to any matter, including securities laws, may be difficult or impossible. Furthermore, an original action may be brought in the PRC against our assets and our subsidiaries, our directors and executive officers only if the actions are not required to be arbitrated by PRC law and only if the facts alleged in the complaint give rise

to a cause of action under PRC law. In connection with any such original action, a PRC court may award civil liability, provisions of the securities laws of the United States.

including monetary damages.

     No treaty exists between Hong Kong, or the British Virgin Islands or Macao and the United States providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. However, the courts of Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands are generally prepared to accept a foreign judgment as evidence of a debt due. An action may then be commenced in Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands for recovery of this debt. A Hong Kong or British Virgin Islands court will only accept a foreign judgment as evidence of a debt due if:

•   the judgment is for a liquidated amount in a civil matter;
•   the judgment is final and conclusive and has not been stayed or satisfied in full;
•   the judgment is not, directly or indirectly, for the payment of foreign taxes, penalties, fines or charges of a like nature (in this regard, a Hong Kong or British Virgin Islands court is unlikely to accept a judgment for an amount obtained by doubling, trebling or otherwise multiplying a sum assessed as compensation for the loss or damage sustained by the person in whose favor the judgment was given);
•   the judgment was not obtained by actual or constructive fraud or duress;
•

      the judgment was not obtained by actual or constructive fraud or duress;
the foreign court has taken jurisdiction on grounds that are recognized by the common law rules as to conflict of laws in Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands;
•   the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice (i.e., the concept of fair adjudication);
•   the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained, the judgment itself and the enforcement of the judgment are not contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands;

Future issuances of preference shares could materially and adversely affect the holders of our common shares or delay or prevent a change of control.

     Our Board of Directors may amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association without shareholder approval to create from time to time and issue one or more classes of preference shares (which are analogous to preferred stock of corporations organized in the United States). While currently no preference shares are issued or outstanding, we may issue preference shares in the future. Future issuance of preference shares could materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common shares, or delay or prevent a change of control.

     We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States public companies including:

•   the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K or annual reports on Form 10-K;
•   the sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
•   the provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and
•   the sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction (i.e., a purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months).

     In addition, because the Company is a foreign private issuer, certain corporate governance standards of the NYSE that are applied to domestic companies listed on that exchange may not be applicable to us.

For information regarding the way our corporate governance standards have differed from those applied to US domestic issuers, see discussion under “NYSE listed Company Manual Disclosure” in Item 6. Directors and Senior Management of this Report.

     In September 2000, we acquired for $2.0 million a 5% indirect shareholding in both TCL Mobile Communication (HK) Co., Ltd. and Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd., together known as TCL Mobile, through the acquisition of 25% of the outstanding shares of Mate Fair Group Limited, or Mate Fair, a privately held investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with a 20% shareholding interest in TCL Mobile. TCL Mobile is engaged in manufacturing, distributing and trading of digital mobile phones and accessories in China as well as in overseas markets.

     In October 2000, we completed the acquisition of the J.I.C. Group (BVI) Limited. The J.I.C. Group (BVI) Limited and its subsidiaries, or the J.I.C.

In November 2002, we invested $5.1 million of the proceeds in TCL International Holdings Limited’s 3% convertible notes that are due in November 2005. In August 2003, we disposed of those convertible notes to independent third parties and received proceeds of approximately $5.03 million in cash.

     In order to expand production capacity, we have built a new factory consisting of approximately 265,000 square feet adjacent to our principal manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen, China. The construction was completed in December 2004 and we expect full operations to commence in April 2005. As of December 31, 2004, we had spent $15.0 million to cover the cost of construction, fixtures and equipment for the new factory. The financing for these improvements to our manufacturing facilities were obtained from internal resources.     In October 2004, our existing production facility for the LCD panels segment alsoJetup Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., or Jetup, relocated to the new factory premises whichand full operation has commenced in early 2005. The new factory premises are approximately 670,000 square feet andabout twice the size of the former factory premises.premises with approximately 670,000 square feet. This new factory provides room for the future expansion of production capacity. As of December 31, 2004, we had spent $7.7 million for this relocationrelocation. A further $5.4 million was spent in 2005 to cover the cost of fixtures and equipment for the new factory and was financed this amount withthrough a combination of internal resources and bank financing.

     In December 2004, the construction of a new five-story factory building for a subsidiary was completed and full operation commenced in April 2005. The new factory premises are adjacent to Nam Tai’s existing main manufacturing complex in Shenzhen, PRC, and added approximately 265,000 square feet of manufacturing space. During 2005, the Company has also built two additional blocks of dormitories with approximately 76,216 square feet. With this new addition, as of December 31, 2005, our principal manufacturing facilities consists of approximately 557,835 square feet of manufacturing space and 266,168 square feet of dormitories.

plans to commence construction of a new facility on the site with the first phase to commence in late 2007. The Company intends to use the new facility as its PRC headquarters and also to increase manufacturing capacity.
     In October 2005, the Company undertook two conditional general cash offers to privatize two of its Hong Kong listed subsidiaries, NTEEP and J.I.C. As part of the conditions precedent to closing for both offers, the Company needed to acquire at least 90% of the public float shares of each of NTEEP and J.I.C., failing which, the offers would terminate. However, as of the closing date of the respective offers, the Company had not been able to acquire a needed 90% of the public float shares of NTEEP or J.I.C. As a result, both offers lapsed and the proposed privatizations of both NTEEP and J.I.C. did not occur. Both companies retain their listing status on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
     In 2006, Nam Tai is stepping up vertical integration of the key component subassemblies of telecommunication products business by moving upstream to commence FPC board manufacturing in existing site. Approximately $11.7 million was spent for fixtures and equipment in 2006 and the main production will be commenced in the second quarter of 2007. Besides, the Company also took the first steps to implement its plan to establish an industrial presence in Wuxi. In October 2006, we entered into the agreements with the Wuxi government for the project and in December 2006 completed the land transfer for two parcels of real property, approximately three miles apart, in Wuxi. We expect construction of our new Wuxi facility to commence in the summer of 2007 with respect to one of the parcels and we hope to begin mass production of FPC boards and FPC subassemblies there in early 2009.

     At any given time, different customers account for a significant portion of our business. Percentages of net sales to customers vary from quarter to quarter and year to year and fluctuate depending on the timing of production cycles for particular products.

     Sales to our OEM customers are based primarily based on purchase orders we receive from time to time rather than firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Although it is our general practice to purchase raw materials only upon receiving a purchase order, for certain customers we will occasionally purchase raw materials based on such customers’ rolling forecasts. Uncertain economic conditions and our general lack of long-term purchase commitments with our customers make it difficult for us to accurately predict revenue accurately over the longer term. Even in those cases where customers are contractually obligated to purchase products from us or repurchase unused inventory from us, we may elect not to immediately enforce our contractual rights because of the long-term nature of our customer relationships and for other business reasons, and instead may negotiate accommodations with customers regarding particular situations.

Our Products

     During 2003, our

     Our operations are generally organized in two segments, Consumer Electronics Products, or CEP, and LCD panels and transformers, or LPT. The activities of our LPT segment relate primarily to our J.I.C. subsidiary that we acquired in October 2000.

FPC boards and FPC Subassemblies
Flexible Printed Circuit Subassemblies.We began manufacturing FPC subassemblies in March 2003 for integration into various LCD modules. FPC subassemblies are FPC board enhanced by attaching electronic components, such as connectors, switches, resistors, capacitors, light emitting devices, integrated circuits, cameras and optical sensors, to the circuit. The reliability of FPC component assemblies is dependent upon proper assembly design and the use of appropriate fixtures to protect the flex-to-connector interface. Connector selection is also important in determining the signal integrity of the overall assembly and is very important to devices that rely upon high system speed to function properly.
Flexible Printed Circuits. Flexible printed circuits, which consist of copper conductive patterns that have been etched or printed while affixed to flexible substrate materials such as polyimide or polyester, are used to provide connections between electronic components and as a substrate to support these electronic devices. The circuits are manufactured by subjecting the base materials to multiple processes, such as drilling, screening, photo imaging, etching, plating and finishing. Single-sided flexible printed circuits, which have an etched conductive pattern on one side of the substrate, are normally less costly and more flexible than double-sided flexible printed circuits because their construction consists of a single patterned conductor layer. Double-sided flexible printed circuits, which have conductive patterns or materials on both sides of the substrate that are interconnected by a drilled or copper-plated hole, can provide either more functionality than a single-sided flexible printed circuit by containing conductive patterns on both sides, or greater shielding of components against electromagnetic interference than a single-sided flexible printed circuit by covering one side of the circuit with a shielding material rather than a circuit pattern.
     Currently we buy FPC boards from suppliers and attach electronic components to them in accordance with our customer’s specifications and produce FPC subassemblies. We plan to vertically integrate this process by producing FPC boards internally and have targeted mid-2007 to begin manufacturing of these devices in our existing facility in Shenzhen.
Quality Control

     We maintain strict quality control programs for our products, including the use of total quality management, systems and advanced testing and calibration equipment. Our quality control personnel test the quality of incoming raw materials and components. During the production stage, our quality control personnel also test the quality of work-in-progress at several points in the production process. Finally, after the assembly stage, we conduct testing of finished products. In addition, we provide office space at our principal manufacturing facilities for representatives of our major customers to permit them to monitor production of their products and we provide them with direct access to our manufacturing personnel.

30


     All of our manufacturing facilities are certified under ISO 9001 quality standards, the International Organization for Standardization’s, or ISO’s, highest standards. The ISO is a Geneva-based organization dedicated to the development of worldwide standards for quality management guidelines and quality assurance. ISO 9000, which was the first quality system standard to gain worldwide recognition, requires a company to gather, analyze, document, monitor and make improvements where needed. Our certification under an ISO 9001 quality standard demonstrates that our manufacturing operations meet the most demanding of the established world standards. Our principalAll of our manufacturing facilities are also certified under an ISO 14001 quality standard, which was published in 1996 to provide a structured basis for environmental management control.

     We started the implementation of the Six Sigma approach inapproach. In 2004, and our principal manufacturing facilities have beenwere recognized by the China Association for Quality of the Chinese Government as a “National Advanced Enterprise for the Promotion of Six Sigma”. Six Sigma is an internationally recognized approach that uses facts and data to develop better solutions, thereby reducing defects and production times, and improving customer satisfaction. This approach allows the Company to lower its costs due to the minimization ofby minimizing manufacturing defects. This results in improved profit margins and higher competitiveness.

Our Suppliers

     We purchase thousands of different component parts from numerous suppliers. We are not dependent upon anyFor some components, we may rely on a single supplier for any key component.supplier. We purchase components from suppliers in Japan, China and elsewhere. We generally baseplace component orders onupon received purchase orders in an effortfrom customers and under customer’s authorization with agreed liability to minimize our inventory risk by ordering components and products only to the extent necessary although for certain customers we willmay occasionally purchase raw materials based on such customer’s rolling forecasts.

     The major component parts we purchase include the following:

•   off-the-shelf and custom integrated circuits or “chips”, most of which we purchase presently from Toshiba Corporation, Sharp Corporation and certain of their affiliates;
•   LCD panels, which are available from many manufacturers. In 2004, we purchased LCD panels from Epson Hong Kong Ltd., Toshiba Matsushita Display Technology Co. Ltd., Optrex Corporation and Sharp Corporation for LCD panels and in the future we may produce some LCD supplies internally;
•   CMOS sensors, which we purchase mainly from Omnivision Technologies Inc.;
•   solar cells and batteries, which are standard “off-the-shelf” items that we generally purchase in Hong Kong from agents of Japanese manufacturers; and
•   various mechanical components such as plastic parts, rubber keypads, PCBs, indium tin oxide, or ITO, glass used in the production of LCD panels, and packaging materials from various local suppliers in China.

      LCD panels, which are available from many manufacturers. In 2006, we purchased LCD panels from Epson Hong Kong Ltd., Suzhou Epson Co. Ltd., Nanya Plastic Corporation and Safaring Technology Co. Ltd. One of our subsidiary groups, J.I.C. group, also produces LCD panels for the NTEEP group;
      FPC boards, which consist of copper conductive patterns that have been etched or printed while affixed to flexible substrate materials such as polyimide or polyester, are used to provide connections between electronic components and as a substrate to support these electronic devices. In 2006, we purchased FPC boards mainly from Z. Kuroda (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd. and Kyoshin (Hong Kong) Co. Ltd.
      Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are semiconductor devices that emit incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction. This effect is a form of electroluminescence. LEDs are small extended sources with extra optics added to the chip, which emit a complex intensity spatial distribution. We mainly purchased from Sharp Electronic (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

world demand. In some cases, supply shortages and delays in deliveries of particular components have resulted in curtailed production, or delays in production of assemblies using scarce components. These supply shortages have contributed to an increase in our inventory levels and reduction in our margins. We expect that shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will continue. If we are unable to obtain sufficient components on a timely basis, we may experience manufacturing delays, which could harm our relationships with current or prospective customers and reduce our sales.

     The principal raw materials used by the Company are large scale integrated, or LSI, circuits, (CMOS), semiconductors, FPC boards, LCD panels, LEDs and batteries. At times, the pricing and availability of these raw materials can be volatile, dueattributable to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions, currency exchange rates, industry cycles, production levels or a supplier’s tight supply. In the past, we have asked our customers to share in the increased costs of raw materials where such increased costs would adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Our customers have generally agreed when so requested in the past. We cannot assure you, however, that our customers will agree to share costs in the future and that our business, results of operations and financial condition would not be adversely affected by increased volatility of raw materials.

Production Scheduling

     The typical cycle for a product to be designed, manufactured and sold to an OEM customer is one to two years, which includes the production period, the development period and the period for market research and data collection (which is undertaken primarily by our OEM customers). Initially an OEM customer gathers data from its sales personnel on products for which there is market interest, including features and unit costs. The OEM customer then contacts us, and possibly other prospective manufacturers, with forecasted total production quantities and design specifications or renderings. From that information, we in turn contact our suppliers and determine estimated component and material costs. We later advise our OEM customer of the development costs, charges (including molds, tooling and software design, if applicable) and unit cost based on the forecasted production quantities desired during the expected production cycle.

     Once we and the OEM customer and we agree to the quotation for the development costs and the unit cost, we begin the product development if we are engaged to do so. This development period typically lasts less than six months, but may be longer if software design is included. During this time, we complete all molds, tooling and software required to manufacture the product with the development costs generally borne by our customer. Upon completion of the molds, tooling and software, we produce samples of the product for the customer’s quality testing, and, once approved, commence mass production of the product. We recover the development costs in relation to molds, tooling and software from our customers.

     The production period usually lasts approximately six to twelve months. In some cases, our OEM customer handles all product design and development and engages us only at the point of initial production. Typically, more advanced products have shorter production runs. If total production quantities change, the OEM customer often provides only limited notice before discontinuing orders for a product. At any point in time we may be in different stages of the development and production periods for the various models under development or in production for our OEM customers.

     Generally, our production is based on purchase orders received from OEM customers. Purchase orders are often supported by letters of credit or written confirmation from the OEM customer and generally may not be cancelled once confirmed without the mutual consent of the parties. Even in those cases where customers are contractually obligated to purchase products from us or repurchase unused inventory from us, we may elect not to immediately enforce our contractual rights because of the long-term nature of our customer relationships and for other business reasons, and instead may negotiate accommodations with customers regarding particular situations.

     We did not suffer a material loss resulting from the cancellation of OEM customer orders in 2001 to 2004. In 2001, we wrote down our inventory for $3.8 million for slow-moving raw materials relating to cancelled, reduced or delayed orders. However, subsequently we were able to use some of these raw materials in production or we received compensation for the unused raw materials from certain of our customers,years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and the gain of $2.0 million was recorded in cost of sales during 2002.2006.

32


Sales and Marketing

     We focus on developing close relationships with our customers at the development and design phases and continuing throughout all stages of production. We identify, develop and market new technologies that benefit our customers and position usas well as an EMS provider.

     Sales and marketing operations are integrated processes involving direct salespersons, project managers and senior executives. We direct our sales resources and activities at several management and staff levels within our customers and prospective customers. We receive unsolicited inquiries resulting from word of mouth, from public relations activities, and through referrals from current customers. We evaluate these opportunities against our customer selection criteria and assign direct salespersons.

22


Seasonality

     Historically, our sales and operating results arehave often been affected by seasonality. Sales of calculators, personal organizersproducts and linguisticcomponents related to mobile phones have generally been lower in the first quarter after peaking in the fourth quarter. Sales of educational products and home entertainment devices are often higher during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the start of the school year and the Christmas buying season. Similarly, our consumer services for electronics products have historically been lower in the first quarter resulting from both the closing of our factories in China for the ChineseLunar New Year holidays and the general reduction in sales following the holiday season. As we have diversified our services for complex components, we expect that seasonality may be less of a factor affecting our business.

Transportation

     Transportation of components and finished products to and from Shenzhen is by truck. Component parts purchased from Japan are generally shipped by air. To date, we have not been materially affectedimpacted by any transportation problems. However, transportation difficulties affecting air cargo or shipping, such as an extended closure of ports that materially disruptsdisrupt the flow of our customers’ products into the United States, could materially and adversely affectinfluence our sales and margins if, as a result, our customers delay or cancel orders or seek concessions to offset expediting charges they incurredincur pending resolution of the problems causing the port closures.

Competition

     General competition in the contract EMS industry is intense

     The electronic manufacturing services we provide are available from many independent sources as well as from our current and characterizedpotential customers with internal manufacturing capabilities. The following table identifies those companies who we believe are our principal competitors by price erosion, rapid technological change and competition from major international companies. This intense competition has resulted in pricing pressures, lower sales and reduced margins. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our targeted markets are product quality, pricing, flexibility and timeliness in responding to design and schedule changes, reliability in meeting product delivery schedules, technological sophistication and geographic location.category of products or services we provide:

Operating Results

Overview

     We are an electronics manufacturing and design services provider to a select group of the world’s leading OEMs of telecommunications and consumer electronic products. Through our electronics manufacturing services operations, we manufacture electronic components and sub-assemblies,subassemblies, including LCD panels, LCD display modules, RF modules, DAB modules, FPC sub-assemblies andsubassemblies, image sensors modules.modules and PCBAs for headsets containing Bluetooth wireless technology. These components are used in numerous electronic products, including cellularmobile phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, copiers, fax machines, electronic toys, and handheld video game devices and microwave ovens.devices. We also manufacture finished products, including cellular phones, palm-sized PCs, PDAs, electronic dictionaries, calculators, and digital cameraentertainment devices, mobile phone accessories and BluetoothTM wireless headset accessory for use with cellular phones.

educational products.

     We assist our OEM customers in the design and development of their products and furnish full turnkey manufacturing services that utilize advanced manufacturing processes and production technologies. Our services include hardware and software design, component purchasing, assembly into finished products, or electronic sub-assembliessubassemblies and post-assembly testing. These services are value-added and assist us in obtaining new business but do not represent a material component of our revenue. We also provide ODM services, in which we design and develop proprietary products that are sold by our OEM customers using their brand name.

Net Sales and Cost of Sales

     We derive our net sales principally from manufacturing services that we provide to OEMs of telecommunications and consumer electronic products. The market for the products we manufacture is generally characterized by declining unit prices and short product life cycles. Sales to our OEM customers are primarily based on purchase orders we receive from time to time rather than firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. We recognize sales, net of product returns and warranty costs, typically at the time of product shipment or, in some cases, as services are rendered.

     Our production is typically based on purchase orders received from OEM customers. However, for certain customers, we will occasionally purchase raw materials based on such customers’ rolling forecasts. Purchase orders are often supported by letters of credit or written confirmation from our OEM customers. We generally do not obtain firm, long-term commitments from our customers. Uncertain economic conditions and our general lack of long-term purchase commitments with our customers make it difficult for us to accurately predict our revenue accurately over the longer term. Even in those cases where customers are contractually obligated to purchase products from us or to repurchase unused inventory from us, we may elect not to immediately enforce our contractual rights because of the long-term nature of our customer relationships and for other business reasons, and instead may negotiate accommodations with customers regarding particular situations.

Gross Margins

     Complex products generally have relatively high material costs as a percentage of total unit costs and accordingly our strategic shift to produce more of such products has historically been a factor that has adversely affected our gross margins. This is the primary reason for the decline in our gross margins between 19992002 and 2001.2006. During this period, we diversified our product mix from predominantly low complexity electronic products, including calculators and electronic dictionaries, to include more complex components and sub-assemblies,subassemblies, like LCD modules, RF modules and RF modules. We believe our gross margin improved in 2002 and 2003 as a result of the experience we acquired in manufacturing these more complex products as we changed our strategic focus.FPC subassemblies. Despite the lower gross margin on more complex products, we believe that the opportunity for growth in the demand for these complex products justifies the shift in our strategic focus. In dollar value, our gross profit indeed increased from $38.1 million in 2002 to $86.2 million in 2006. Furthermore, we believe that the experience in manufacturing processes and know-how that we have developed from producing more complex products are a competitive advantage for us relative to manysome of our competitors.

     The increased costs associated with developing advanced manufacturing techniques to produce complex products on a mass scale and at a low cost have also negatively impacted our gross margins. For example, in our initial production runs of LCD modules and RF modules, we experienced low production yields and other inefficiencies that caused our gross margin to decrease. Although we believe we have improved the efficiency and quality of our manufacturing processes relating to LCD modules and RF modules, we may not be able to improve or maintain our gross margin for these products. Furthermore, in January 2003, we began to produce color and TFT LCD modules, each a complex component used in a variety of devices. The increased costs associated with manufacturing these products

40


and other new complex products could have a negative impact on our future gross margins. The complex manufacturing processes involved in the production of complex products is also capital intensive, thereby increasing our fixed overhead costs. It has been our strategy to shift our focus more to the business of key components sub-assembly.subassembly. The key components sub-assemblysubassembly business generally accounts for relatively lower gross profit margin business. Nam Tai has been very successful in shifting its focus toOur business of manufacturing key components sub-assembly, whichand subassemblies accounted for 59%72.1% of our sales in 2004. We believe that the strong growth of this business will offset the impact of lower gross profit margins and we can continue to achieve strong growth in our overall profits. In the long run, we expect to achieve an overall gross profit margins of around 12%.

Income Taxes

     Under current BVI law, our income is not subject to taxation. Subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong and China are subject to income taxes as described below, and our subsidiary operating in Macao is exempted from income taxes. This would be valid unless the Macao government changes its policy towards offshore companies.

     Under current Cayman Islands law, Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited, Zastron Precision-Tech Limited,NTEEP, ZPT and J.I.C. Technology Company Limited and Namtek Software Development Company Limited are not subject to profit tax in the Cayman Islands as they have no business operations in the Cayman Islands. However, they may be subject to Hong Kong income taxes as described below ifsince they are registered in Hong Kong.

     The provision for current income taxes of the subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong has been calculated by applying the current rate of taxation of 16% for 2002 and 17.5% for both 20032004, 2005 and 20042006 to the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the applicable period.

     The basic corporate tax rate for Foreign Investment EnterprisesFIEs in China, such as our ChinesePRC subsidiaries, is currently 33% (30% state tax and 3% local tax). However, because all of our ChinesePRC subsidiaries are located in Shenzhen and are involved in production operations, they qualify for a special reduced state tax rate of 15%. In addition, the local tax authorities in the regions in which our subsidiaries operate in Shenzhen are not currently assessedassessing any local tax, thoughbut that could change at any time. Moreover, several of our Chinese subsidiaries in China are entitled to certain tax benefits and certain of our Chinese subsidiaries in China have qualified for tax refunds as a result of reinvesting their profits earned in previous years in China.

     Efforts by the Chinese government to increase tax revenues could result in decisions or interpretations of the tax laws by the ChineseChina’s tax authorities that are unfavorable to us and which increase our future tax liabilities, or deny us expected refunds. Changes in ChinesePRC tax laws or their interpretation or application may subject us to additional ChinesePRC taxation in the future.

     Our effective tax rates were 8%, 1% and 1% for 2002, 2003each of the three years ended 2004, 2005 and 2004,2006, respectively. The significant factors that caused our effective tax rates to differ from the applicable statutory rates of 15% were as follows:
                     
 2002 2003 2004 2004 2005 2006
Applicable statutory tax rates  15%  15%  15%  15%  15%  15%

Strategic Investments

     An important element of our strategy ishas been to make investments in companies that provide the potential to complement our existing products and services, become new customers, augment our market coverage and sales ability, enhance our technological capabilities and expand our service offerings. We account for investments of less than 20% under the cost methodat fair value and we account for investments between 20% and 50% under the equity method. Our material investments over the last five years include:

Stepmind. In December 2003, we placed approximately $5.3 million into an escrow account for an investment in Stepmind. The investment was to occur in two phases. For the first phase, approximately $2.64 million, representing 7.66% of the equity interest in Stepmind, was released to Stepmind in January 2004. The second phase amounting to $2.65 million was released to Stepmind in August 2004 subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. In August 2004, we disposed of our entire interest in Stepmind to one of the shareholders of Stepmind at the original subscription price for those shares.

TCL Group.group.Over the period from September 2000 through November 2002, we made three investments in the TCL Groupgroup of companies and disposed of a portion of the investment in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, we further increased our investment in TCL Mobile from holding approximately 3% to 9% through the acquisition of Jasper Ace. The TCL group of companies is a leading OEM for numerous consumer electronicelectronics and telecommunications products in the domestic ChinesePRC market.

•   In September 2000, we made a strategic investment of $2.0 million to acquire a 5% indirect equity interest (through a 25% direct equity interest in Mate Fair) in both TCL Mobile Communication (HK) Co., Ltd. and Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd., together known as TCL Mobile. TCL Mobile is engaged in manufacturing, distributing and trading of digital mobile phones and accessories in China and overseas markets. In October 2002, we began to provide TCL Mobile with LCD modules used in its mobile phones.

•   In January 2002, we acquired a 6% equity interest in TCL Corporation (formerly known as TCL Holdings Corporation Ltd.), the parent of the TCL Group of companies, for approximately $12.0 million.

•   In November 2002, Mate Fair sold a portion of its equity interest in Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co. Ltd. for which we received proceeds of approximately $10.4 million, reducing our direct equity interest (held through Mate Fair) in TCL Mobile to approximately 3%.

•   In November 2002, we invested $5.1 million in the 3% convertible notes of TCL International Holdings Limited that are due in November 2005. TCL International Holdings Limited is another company in the TCL Group and is publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Those convertible notes of TCL International Holdings Limited were disposed of in August 2003 for approximately $5.03 million.

In September 2000, we purchased 500,000 commonmade a strategic investment of $2.0 million to acquire a 5% indirect equity interest (through a 25% direct equity interest in Mate Fair) in both TCL Mobile Communication (HK) Co., Ltd. and Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd., together known as TCL Mobile. TCL Mobile is engaged in manufacturing, distributing and trading of digital mobile phones and accessories in China and overseas markets.
     In January 2002, we acquired a 6% equity interest in TCL Corporation (formerly known as TCL Holdings Corporation Ltd.), the parent of the TCL group of companies, for approximately $12.0 million. In January 2004, TCL Corporation listed its A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at $0.52, or RMB4.26, per A-share. The Company’s interest in TCL Corporation has then been diluted to 3.69%, represented by 95.52 million promoter’s shares of TCL Corporation after its initial public offering. As at December 31, 2005, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $0.95 million, based on the Company’s cost of $11.97 million. The Company’s interest in TCL Corporation was recorded at fair value of $13.33 million based on a comparable companies analysis and taking into account of a liquidity discount. However, in April 2006, pursuant to the split share structure reform (“SSR”), the Company gave away 15.62% of its total shares to floating shareholders as consideration and thereafter all its restricted shares will become floating shares subject to the regulations of China Securities Regulation Commission and can become tradable 12 months from April 20, 2006, which was the first trading day after the SSR was formally implemented. The Company’s interest in TCL Corporation has been further reduced from 3.69% to 3.12%, representing 80.60 million shares. As a result of the reduction in the numbers of shares in Deswell Industries Inc.,TCL Corporation, the Company recorded a Nasdaq-listedloss of $1.3 million ($1.9 million before sharing with minority interests) in the second quarter of 2006. As at December 31, 2006, the Company’s interest in TCL Corporation was recorded at fair value of $24.36 million and with an unrealized gain of $9.93 million.
     In November 2002, we invested $5.1 million in the 3% convertible notes of TCL International Holdings Limited that are due in November 2005. TCL International Holdings Limited is another company in the TCL group and is publicly listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Those convertible notes of TCL International Holdings Limited were disposed of in August 2003 for approximately $5.03 million.
     In April 2004, we increased our shareholding in TCL Mobile from approximately 3% to 9% through acquiring Jasper Ace, which directly holds 9% equity interest in TCL Mobile, at a consideration of approximately $102.2 million. The consideration was satisfied, by the exchange of our 72.2% equity interest in Mate Fair, plus cash of $25 million and the issuance of 1,416,764 new Nam Tai shares and resulted in a net investment cost of $79.5 million. In July, Nam Tai transferred all its shares in TCL Mobile to TCL Communication in exchange for 90 shares of TCL Communication. In August 2004, Nam Tai further subscribed for 254,474,910 shares in TCL Communication at a consideration of approximately $16 million. The consideration was satisfied by the dividend receivable from TCL Communication. Together with the 90 shares it received in July 2004, Nam Tai in total holds 254,475,000 shares in TCL Communication, representing approximately 9% of the outstandingshareholding of TCL Communication. In September 2004, shares of DeswellTCL Communication were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction. There were no new shares issued or sold in connection with the listing, and therefore no dilution to Nam Tai’s original stake in TCL Communication. As of December 31, 2004, the Company’s investment in TCL Communication was stated at fair value based on the timetraded market price of TCL Communication’s shares. We recognized an impairment loss of $58.3 million as at December 31, 2004. In the purchase for an aggregatesecond quarter of $7.5 million.

Toshiba Joint Venture

     In March 2000, we formed a joint venture with Toshiba Battery Company Ltd. called BPC (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., or BPC, to manufacture rechargeable lithium ion battery packs at our manufacturing complex in Shenzhen, China. Toshiba Battery Company Ltd. owned a 13% interest in BPC and we owned the balance of BPC for a cash investment of $1.3 million. During 2000 and 2001 and from January 1 to April 30, 2002, we recognized net sales of $6.2 million, $21.1 million, and $7.8 million, respectively, from Toshiba and its related companies. In 2002, we sold our 87% joint venture interest in BPC and a related manufacturing license to a Toshiba-related company for an aggregate of $2.9 million, resulting in a gain of $77,000.

     Based on the 2001 full year results of BPC, we estimate that the sale of BPC will result in a reduction of annual revenues for 2002 of approximately $21.1 million and a reduction in profits of $1.3 million for 2002. We further estimate that the BPC sale will result in a reduction of annual operating expenses of approximately $600,000 for 2002. Cash flows from operations for 2002 would decline by approximately $1.7 million.

J.I.C. Group

     We acquired the J.I.C. Group in October 2000 for $32.8 million. We paid a portion of the purchase price to the seller by issuing approximately 3.48 million of our common shares and paid $11.0 million in cash. The J.I.C. Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and marketing of transformers and LCD panels, a key component for a variety of consumer electronic products. We accounted for the acquisition of the J.I.C. Group under the purchase method of accounting and the results of the J.I.C. Group’s operations have been consolidated with our results since the date of its acquisition.

. In June 2002, through a reverse merger, we arranged for the listing of the J.I.C. Groupgroup on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. To effect the listing, we entered into an agreement with the liquidators of Albatronics to effect the restructuring proposal of Albatronics andAlbatronics. Under such arrangement, the listing of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited as this arrangement was more cost effective than using an initial public offering.

     Due to the reverse merger, our effective interest intransferred the J.I.C. Group was reduced from 100% to 92.9%. As a result of this reductiongroup into J.I.C. in interest during 2002, we have released unamortized goodwill of $1.5 million, representing 7.1% ofconsideration for which the goodwill that had previously been recorded upon purchasing the J.I.C. Group in October 2000. The release of unamortized goodwill is included as part of the loss on the reverse merger of the J.I.C. Group.

     In August 2002, we acquired an additional 7,984,000Company received 122,190,000 ordinary shares and 598,420,000 preference shares of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited for a cash consideration of $437,000, resulting in additional goodwill of $253,000. As of December 31, 2002, we held 93.97% of effective interest in J.I.C. Group, which represented 74.78% of the existing ordinary shares and 93.97% of the outstanding ordinary shares upon full conversion of the 598,420,000 preference shares.

     During the period from June to NovemberIn 2003, we disposed of a total of 42,600,000 ordinary shares of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited for cash consideration of $4.0 million. The disposal resulted in a net gain on partial disposal of a subsidiary of $1.8 million and the releasing of unamortized goodwill of $1.2 million. The release of unamortized goodwill is netted off with the gain on the partial disposal of a subsidiary. In November 2003, we converted 175,100,000 preference shares into 170,000,000 ordinary shares of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited.

     In June 2003, in order to concentrate its effort on its LCD panels reporting unit, J.I.C. Technology Company Limited disposed of its transformers reporting unit to a third party for a cash consideration of $2.4 million. Sales of the transformers reporting unit for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 were $11.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively, and were insignificant compared to the sales as a whole. The net income from this discontinued operation for the years ended December 31, 2002 were also immaterial. In 2003, the net income from discontinued operation represented the gain of $2.0 million, being the proceeds from the disposal less the carrying value of the net assets of the transformers reporting unit, and minority interests. Excluding this gain, the basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2003 would have been $1.04 and $1.02, respectively.

     During the period from November to December 2004, we further disposed of a total of 128,000,000 ordinary shares of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited for cash consideration of $12.95$12.90 million. The disposal resulted in a net gain on partial disposal of a subsidiary of $6.25 million. During the same period, we converted all 423,320,000 preference shares into 410,990,290 ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2004,2005, we held 546,890,978 ordinary shares of J.I.C. Technology Company Limited,, equivalent to 71.63% of issued ordinary shares.

In March 2006, the Company acquired a total of 25,290,000 ordinary shares of J.I.C. for cash consideration of $2.12 million resulting in 74.94% equity interest held in J.I.C. as of December 31, 2006.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. We have identified the following critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
     For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements.
Marketable Securities
     Marketable securities at December 31, 2006 are principally equity securities and are classified as available-for-sale securities. Securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value is determined by reference to market price or analysis conducted by independent appraiser. In the event where the fair value of the securities has been below the carrying value for a period of time, we will assess whether this decline in value is other-than-temporary.
     Our assessment includes the consideration of the duration and severity of the decline in values and our ability and intent to hold the investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a forecasted recovery of the fair value up to or beyond the cost of the investment, and an assessment of the evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time which outweighs the evidence to the contrary. If it is determined that the decline is other-than-temporary, an impairment charge to the income statement will be made.

Valuation of long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets and valuation of goodwill
     The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
     The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets by first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group. The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge to the extent the carrying value of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. The Company determines fair value through quoted market prices in active markets or, if quotations of market prices are unavailable, through the performance of internal analysis of discounted cash flows or obtains external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and discounted cash flow analyses are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the expected period over which the asset will be utilized, projected future operating results of the asset group, discount rate and long-term growth rate.
     To assess goodwill for impairment, the Company performs an assessment of the carrying value of its reporting units at least on an annual basis or when events and changes in circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company’s reporting units below their carrying value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform the second step in its assessment process and would record an impairment charge to earnings to the extent the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units through internal analysis and external independent valuations, which utilize income and market valuation approaches through the application of capitalized earnings, discounted cash flow and market comparable methods. These valuation techniques are based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including the projected future operating results of the reporting unit, discount rate, long-term growth rate and appropriate market comparables.
     The Company’s assessments of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and its periodic review of the remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets are an integral part of the Company’s ongoing strategic review of its business and operations. Therefore, future changes in the Company’s strategy and other changes in the operations of the Company could impact the projected future operating results that are inherent in the Company’s estimates of fair value, resulting in impairments in the future. Additionally, other changes in the estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate and expected long-term growth rate, which drive the valuation techniques employed to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets and goodwill could change and, therefore, impact the assessments of impairment in the future.
     In performing the annual assessment of goodwill for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company determined that none of the reporting units’ carrying values were close to exceeding their respective fair values.
Deferred income taxes
     We provide deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, we recognize deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences and classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related asset or liability in the financial statements. We provide a valuation allowance to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
     When considering whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we will assess the history of operating losses and unexpired tax credit, losses expected in the future and any unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels on a continuing basis in future years. Therefore, any changes in our assessment of the above would impact our estimation of the amount of valuation allowance.
Accruals and provisions for loss contingencies
     We make provisions for all loss contingencies when information available to us prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

44


     For provisions or accruals related to litigation, we make provisions based on information from legal counsels and the best estimation of management. As discussed in Note (18b) to our consolidated financial statements, we are involved in various legal proceedings and contingencies. We have recorded a liability for the Tele-Art Inc. matter in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, or SFAS 5. SFAS 5 requires a liability to be recorded based on our estimate of the probable cost of the resolution of a contingency. The actual resolution of this contingency may differ from our estimates. If the contingency were settled for an amount greater than our estimate, a future charge to income would result. Likewise, if the contingency were settled for an amount that is less than our estimate, a future credit to income would result.
Summary of Results

     Net sales for 2004 increased 31% to $533.8 million compared to $406.3 million for 2003.

     The increase in sales was primarily due to an increasebecause of strong growth in the sales in telecom components sub-assembliesdemand for LCD modules and optical devices.FPC subassemblies. The increase in our net sales base year-over-year represents stronger demand from existing customers, as well as organic growth from new and existing customers.

Valuation of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets

     The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, other than goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, by first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group) and, secondly, estimating the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the use of and eventual disposition of such asset group.

     The Company’s assessments of impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and purchased intangible assets, and its periodic review of the remaining useful lives of its long-lived assets are an integral part of the Company’s ongoing strategic review of its business and operations. Therefore, future changes in the Company’s strategy and other changes in the operations of the Company could impact the projected future operating results that are inherent in the Company’s estimates of fair value, resulting in impairments in the future. Additionally, other changes in the estimates and assumptions, including the discount rate and expected long-term growth rate, which drive the valuation techniques employed to estimate the fair value of long-lived assets and goodwill could change and, therefore, impact the assessments of impairment in the future.

     In performing the annual assessment of goodwill for impairment, the Company determined that none of the reporting units’ carrying values were close to exceeding their respective fair values.

Revenue recognition

     The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

•  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
•  Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
•  Price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and
•  Collectibility is reasonably assured.

     Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon shipment and when collectibility is assured. The Company does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), price protection, rebates or discounts. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with the Company’s products, except for quality. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

Deferred Income Taxes

     We provide deferred income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, we recognize deferred income taxes for all significant temporary differences and classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related asset or liability in the financial statements. We provide a valuation allowance to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

     When considering whether a valuation allowance is necessary, we will assess the history of operating losses and unexpired tax credit, losses expected in the future and any unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels on a continuing basis in future years. Therefore, any changes in our assessment of the above would impact our estimation of the amount of valuation allowance.

Accruals and Provisions for Loss Contingencies

     We make provisions for all loss contingencies when information available to us prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

     For provisions or accruals related to litigations, we make provisions based on information from legal counsels and the best estimation of management. As discussed in Note (19b) to our consolidated financial statements, we are involved in various legal proceedings and contingencies. We have recorded a liability for the Tele-Art matter in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, or FAS 5. FAS 5 requires a liability to be recorded based on our estimate of the probable cost of the resolution of a contingency. The actual resolution of this contingency may differ from our estimates. If the contingency were settled for an amount greater than our estimate, a future charge to income would result. Likewise, if the contingency were settled for an amount that is less than our estimate, a future credit to income would result.

2005

     Net Sales.Our net sales increased 31.4%9.1% to $533.9$870.2 million for 2004,2006, up from $406.3$797.2 million in 2003. The increase was due to2005. Sales of Consumer Electronics and Communication Products (“CECP”), Telecommunication Components Assembly (“TCA”) and LCD Products (“LCDP”) increased sales levels across all business segments. Specific increases include a 27.0% increase in the sales of consumer electronics5.5%, 10.0% and communication products, a 36.4% increase in the sales of telecommunication components assembly, a 17.9% increase in the sales of LCD panels and a 20.6% increase in the sales of software development services.11.3% respectively. The increased sales levels were due tobecause of the addition of new customers and organic growthincreases in sales to existing customers in these business segments. The increase in the consumer electronics and communication products was primarily attributable to the increased sales levels in optical devices. The increase in telecom, components assembly was primarily attributable to sales of FPC sub-assemblies in 2004 and the increase in sales of levels of mobile phone handsets in SKD forms and lighting panels for hand-held devices.

     The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, revenue by business segments expressed as a percentage of net sales.

     The distribution of revenue across our businessreportable segments has fluctuated, and willwe expect it to continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous factors, including but not limited to the following: increased business from new and existing customers, fluctuations in customer demand and seasonality. The dollar amounts (in thousands) and percentages of our net sales by reportable segment and product category for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 were as follows:

     Before 2005, we included software development services in the TCA segment, but, as result of a reorganization, since 2005 we have included such services in our CECP segment. Accordingly, we have reclassified the presentation in the table immediately above to show software development services as part of CECP during 2004.
     In the CECP segment, net sales increased by about 5.5% mainly because sales of mobile phone accessories increased by 135% or $59.5 million, compared with year 2005. However, this increase was offset by the decreases of $32.5 million, or 77%, in sales of optical products and $16.5 million, or 31%, of home entertainment products. Sales


(1)  Included in telecommunication components assembly are our sales from our manufacture of rechargeable battery packs through a joint venture we had with Toshiba Battery Co., Ltd. We sold our interest in the joint venture to a Toshiba-related company and ceased manufacturing rechargeable battery packs as of April 30, 2002. Accordingly, revenue from sales of battery packs was not included after that date.
(2)  We sold our transformers operation to a third party in June 2003.

3546


of education devices remained relatively unchanged and software development services still accounts for less than 1% of total net sales of the group.
     In the TCA segment, overall sales increased by about 10%. This was driven primarily by the increase in sales of LCD modules of 60%, or $83.8 million, but was partially offset by the decreased sales of semi-knock down, or SKD, handsets, front light panel assemblies for games and PCB subassembly of $6.2 million, $8.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Sales of FPC subassemblies in 2006 remained at about the same level as in 2005.
     In the LCDP segment, overall sales increased by 11.3%, principally attributable to STN and COG products.
     Gross Profit.In terms of dollar value, gross profit for 2006 decreased by $6.7 million from 2005, because of increased material costs. Gross profitmargins decreased to 14.3%9.9% of net sales in 2006 from 11.7% in 2005. Generally, the decreases were attributable primarily to competitive pressures requiring us to reduce unit selling prices. Although the Company experienced growth in business volume from existing customers, this growth was insufficient to offset the adverse effects of this pressure to reduce unit prices, resulting in lower gross profit.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 3.5% of net sales in 2006 from $33.0 million, or 4.1% of net sales in 2005. The $2.4 million decrease was primarily attributable to the gain on disposal of fixed assets, reduction in office expenses, bad debts, advertising and promotion, bank charges and restructuring cost in relation to Hong Kong office in year 2005. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was also primarily attributable to the increased revenue base in 2006.
Research and Development Expenses.Research and development expenses in 2006 increased to $7.9 million from $7.2 million in 2005 accounting for 0.9% of net sales for 2005 and 2006. The absolute dollar increase was primarily attributable to the recruitment of more engineers to support our R&D activities, including design of production process, development of new products and products associated with customer design-related programs.
Other Expenses Net.During 2006, other expenses were $1.3 million which mainly represented by other non-operating charges. The Company did not have any dividend income received from marketable securities in 2006 but $0.6 million dividend income was received from our investment in TCL Corporation during the year of 2005.
Gain on Sale of Subsidiaries’ Shares. There was no disposal of subsidiaries’ share in 2006. In May 2005, NTEEP acquired 100% interest in Namtek Software from the Company and Asano Company Limited, and as a result of this series of linked transactions, the Company effectively disposed of 7.94% interest in Namtek Software, resulting in a gain of $1.9 million. During 2005, the Company disposed 52,574,000 million shares of NTEEP, one of the previously wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, resulting in a gain of $8.2 million. In April 2004, NTEEP, completed a public offering of its common stock on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As a result, the Company disposed of a 25% interest in this subsidiary, resulting in a gain on sale of NTEEP’s shares of $71.1 million.
Loss on marketable securities arising from 16.3%split share structure reform.In April 2006, pursuant to the Split Share Structure Reform (“SSR”) of TCL Corporation, the Company’s interest in 2003.TCL Corporation has been changed from 95,516,112 promoter shares to 80,600,173 A-shares. As a result of the reduction in the numbers of shares in TCL Corporation, the Company recorded a loss of $1.3 million ($1.9 million before sharing with minority interests). The A-shares will be tradable on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange after the expiration of 12 months from April 20, 2006, which was the first trading day after the SSR was formally implemented. As at December 31, 2006, investment in TCL corporation was valued at the market share price with an estimated fair value of $24.36 million.
Provision of losses arising from the judgment to reinstate the redeemed shares.In the fourth quarter of 2006, we recorded $14.5 million of losses arising from a judgment rendered against us to reinstate 1,017,149 shares we had redeemed in 1999 and 2002. We determined the amount of this loss after taking into account the total issue price of the 1,017,149 redeemed shares at the market price of Nam Tai shares on November 20, 2006 (the date of the Judgment); the estimated costs and expenses of the Bank of China and Tele-Art Inc.’s initial liquidator that Nam Tai expects will be claimed in connection with the Privy Council litigation proceedings; and a reversal of amounts Nam Tai previously reserved in its financial statements for potential losses to be incurred as result of the share redemptions in 1999 and 2002 respectively.
Interest Income.Interest income was as $8.5 million, which increased $4.6 million from $3.9 million in 2005. The increase was primarily the result of higher average bank balances and increase in interest rate.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $602,000 in 2006 from $438,000 in 2005. This increase was primarily a result of increase in interest rates.

47


Income Taxes. The Company continued to enjoy a low effective tax rate of about 1% on income before income taxes and minority interests as certain of our subsidiaries in PRC have continuously qualified for tax refunds as a result of reinvesting their profits earned in previous years in PRC.
Minority Interests. Minority interest decreased to $6.2 million in 2006 from $8.0 million in 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of the decrease in minority shareholders’ share of NTEEP’s profit to approximately $5.3 million during 2006. In addition, the minority shareholders’ share of profits of the J.I.C. group for 2006 decreased to $903,000 from $1.3 million in 2005.
Equity in Loss of Affiliated Companies. There was no further sharing in equity in loss of affiliated companies after the disposal of investment in Alpha Star in year 2005.
Net Income.Net income, decrease to $40.8 million in 2006 from $51.3 million in 2005. The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, net income/(loss) by reportable segment expressed as a dollar amount (in millions) and as a percentage of net income.

     Net income in CECP segment decreased to $12.3 million from $16.8 million. The major reason was the drop in gross profit margin as mobile phone accessories with relatively lower margin accounted for a larger percentage of sales in 2006. Although selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses were maintained at a lower level than in 2005 and interest income increased by $1.1 million which offset the decrease in dividend income of $0.6 million, overall net income still dropped by $4.5 million.
     In TCA segment, net income decreased to $31.4 million from $35.2 million. The major reason was competitive pricing pressures requiring us to lower unit prices. Although TCA segment experienced growth in business volume from existing customers for its FPC subassemblies and LCD modules, averaged gross margin still dropped from 8.2% to 7.2%. In line with the increase in business volume, operating expenses increased by about 16.4% in comparing with year 2005. As a result, net income decreased by $3.8 million.
     In LCDP segment, net income decreased to $2.6 million from $3.2 million. Owing to the market competition and increase in cost of sales, gross profit dropped by about $1.0 million. Even though selling, general and administrative expenses were controlled at a lower level than year 2005, net income still decreased by $0.6 million.
     Net loss in corporate segment represented by the losses arising from the judgment to reinstate redeemed shares of $14.5 million, partially offset by the $9.3 million gain on disposal of asset held for sale. Besides, interest income also increased by $3.4 million because of the rising interest rate environment from 2005 to 2006 and so the resulting net loss increased by $1.6 million.
Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004
Net Sales.Our net sales increased 49% to $797.2 million for 2005, up from $533.9 million in 2004. The increase was a consequence of increased sales levels across various business segments. Sales of telecommunication components assembly substantially increased 80.0%, sales of LCD panels increased 19.3% and sales of software development services increased 11.1%. Sales of consumer electronics and communication products remained at 2004 levels. The increased sales levels were attributable to the addition of new customers, and growth in these business segments from new and existing customers. In the CECP segment, sales for mobile phone accessories and home entertainment products increased by 41% or $12.8 million and 59% or $19.7 million respectively. However, this was offset by the decrease in sales of educational devices and optical products by 31% or $11.0 million and 34% or $21.5 million. In the TCA segment, strong growth was attributable to FPC subassemblies, which increased by 231% or $273 million. Sales of LCD modules also recorded an increase of 23% or $26.2 million but was partially offset by the drop

in sales of SKDs handset and game front light panel assembly by 81.9% or $28.0 million and 66% or $18.4 million respectively. In LCDP segment, overall sales increase was attributable to the STN and COG products.
Gross Profit.In terms of dollar value, gross profit for 2005 increased by $16.4 million from 2004, as a result of our increased revenue base. However, gross margin decreased to 11.7% of net sales in 2005 from 14.3% in 2004. Generally, the gross margin for box-built products is higher than key components assembly. Our target was to shift our business to the high-growth and high-technology key components assemblies sector, and we succeeded in increasing net sales in the TCA segment. The percentage decrease in gross profit was primarily due to a higher proportion of TCA segment revenue. Additionally,In 2004, we have beenwere impacted by the reduction of input credit inwith respect ofto value-added tax related to domestic purchase materials by the PRC government during 2004.

The $3.2$5.0 million increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales commission paidsalaries and benefits, audit, legal and professional fee, depreciation and amortization and restructuring expenses in relation to marketing staff as a result of increased revenue, and the commission paid to external agents for particular products during 2004.Hong Kong office. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the increased revenue base in 2004.

     Income Taxes.Income tax expenses of $879,000 for 2004 comparesPursuant to $399,000 for 2003. The increase was primarily the result of not receiving full tax refunds for several of our PRC entities for taxes paid in previous years that we have normally been eligible to receive full tax refunds in the past as a result of the strict enforcement of certain regulations.

PRC regulations, tax paid on statutory reserve of our PRC entities is not eligible for tax refund.

The increase was primarily attributable to salesmainly because of the telecommunication components assemblyshift of product mix and drop in gross margin. Sales in educational devices and optical products of approximately $232.2with relatively higher margin both decreased by around 30%. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses also increased by about 16%. Hence, net income dropped by $3.7 million.

     In TCA segment, net income sharply improved from $21.6 million in 2003 compared to $103.8 million in 2002, an increase of $128.4$35.2 million. ThisThe substantial increase was mainly as a result of an increase in sales of telecom LCD and PCB modules andattributable to the launch of new products in 2003, like RF modules, SKD handsets, front light panel assembly, and flash light for cellular phones.

     In addition, we also experienced increased sales in consumer electronics and communication products. Sales of consumer electronics and communication products amounted to approximately $128.8 million in 2003 compared to $94.0 million in 2002, an increase of $34.8 million. This increase was mainly driven by the PC camera, which was first launched in 2003.

     Sales of LCD panels and transformers increased by 17.2% to $41.3 million for 2003 compared to $35.3 million for 2002. The primary reason for the increase in sales of LCD panels and transformers was the increasestrong growth in the sales of LCD panels of approximately $35.0 million for 2003 compared to $23.9 million for 2002, which was partially offset by a decrease inFPC subassemblies business and so the sales of transformers due to the disposal of the transformers operation in June 2003.

Gross Profit.Our gross profit increased by 74.2% to $66.3 million for 2003 compared to $38.1 million for 2002. Our gross profit margin$15.7 million. To cope with the business expansion, selling, general and administrative expenses also increased slightly in 2003 to 16.3% from 16.1% in 2002.

     The primary reason for this increase was the increase in sales as described above in the explanation of fluctuation of “Net Sales”. We were also able to keep our product gross margin relatively stable in 2003. The increase in gross profit margin was offset by the gain of a $2.0$3.4 million due to the recovery of inventory written down to cost of sales in 2002. In addition to these specific factors, our gross profit margin increased in 2003 due to our ability to negotiate advantageous price terms with certain of our suppliers and our focus on reducing overhead costs.

     In addition, the gross profit of the LPT segment also increased. This increase was as a result of increases in the sales proportion of high margin products and the disposal of the transformers operation in June 2003. The impact of the discontinued operations of transformers on gross profit contribution was insignificant as the margin of transformers products was low.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.SG&A expenses for 2003hence, net income increased by approximately $6.9$13.6 million.

     In LCDP segment, net income increased to $3.2 million to $24.9 million, or 6.1% of net sales, from $18.0 million, or 7.6% of net sales, in 2002.

$2.1 million. This increase was primarily due to an approximately $5.1 million increase in salaries and benefits expenses, due to an increase in headcount, an approximately 10% increase in salary for certain employees and a $3.9 million incentive bonus due to the implementation of a new incentive bonus scheme in January 2003, which was calculated based on operating profit, as well as a $0.9 million increase in selling expenses, which was primarily due to more sales commissions paid as sales increased.

     Our SG&A expenses include provisions for bad debt expenses, which decreased from $138,000 in 2002 to $91,000 in 2003. The decrease in allowance has beenmainly attributable to the implementationshift of tighter credit controls.

Researchproduct mix to higher margin products such as STN LCD panels and Development Expenses.Research and development expenses for 2003 increased to $4.0 million, or 1.0% of net sales, from $2.7 million, or 1.1% of net sales, in 2002. The increaseCOG products. Although there was due to analso increase in operating expenses by about 20%, net income still increased by $1.1 million.

     Net loss in corporate segment amounted as $3.9 million in contrast with net income of $22.7 million in year 2004. The major difference was caused by the number$77.3 million gain on partial disposal of staff related to the expansion of our production capacitysubsidiaries’ shares and the products we manufacture.

Goodwill Impairment.In 2002, we determined that $339,000 of unamortized goodwill related to our 1999 acquisition of a telecommunications company was impaired as the technology of the acquired company had become obsolete.

Other (Expenses)/Income, Net.Other income, net, during 2003 was $2.9 million. This amount included$17.4 million dividend income of $2.0 million from our indirectmarketable securities and investment in Huizhou TCL Mobile Communication Co., Ltd., dividend income of $1.7 million from TCL Corporation and income of $0.5 million related to the recovery of a non-trade receivable which had been written off previously. This income wasyear 2004, partially offset by a $0.3$58.3 million bank charge during 2003.

Gainimpairment loss on Partial Disposalmarketable securities and $6.8 million sharing of Subsidiaries. Gainequity in loss of an affiliated company. In year 2005, there was no such above items except $10.1 million gain on partial disposal of subsidiaries in 2003 of $1.8and $6.5 million represented gainimpairment loss on partial disposal of interests in J.I.C. Technology while the amount in 2002 of $17,000 represented the gain on disposal of a subsidiary, BPC (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd.

marketable securities.

Interest income. Interest income decreased to $788,000 in 2003 from $799,000 in 2002 due to lower average cash balances and lower interest yields on cash deposits.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased to $121,000 for 2003 compared to $790,000 for 2002. The decrease in interest expenses is the result of the early repayment of a $12.9 million bank loan in January 2003.

37


Income Taxes.Income tax expenses decreased to $399,000 for 2003 compared to $773,000 for the prior year. The decrease is primarily the result of our receipt of tax refunds for several of our PRC entities for taxes paid in previous years.

Minority Interests.Minority interests increased by $903,000, or 550.6%, to $1,067,000 in 2003 from $164,000 in 2002.

Equity in Income of Affiliated Companies.Equity in income of affiliated companies was $0.5 million in 2003 compared to $10.7 million in 2002. The income in 2003 represents our share of the net earnings of our proportional 25% investment in Alpha Star Investments Limited for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003. The income in 2002 represents our proportional share of the net earnings of our 25% investment in Mate Fair.

Discontinued Operation.Discontinued operation in 2003 represented $2.0 million gain on disposal of our entire transformers operation, net of $0.1 million shared by minority interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

     We have financed our growth and cash needs to date primarily from internally generated funds, proceeds from the sale of our strategic investments, proceeds from the sale of land we owned in Hong Kong, sales of our common stock and bank debt.borrowings. In 2006, as part of our reduction of business activities in Hong Kong, we sold our former administrative offices in Hong Kong for $20.2 million.
     We do not use off-balance sheet financing arrangements, such as securitization of receivables or obtaining access to assets through special purpose entities, as sources of liquidity. Our primary uses of cash have been to fund expansions and upgrades of our manufacturing facilities, to make strategic investments in potential customers and suppliers and to fund increases in inventory and accounts receivable resulting from increased sales.

     We had positive net working capital of $218.2$238.1 million at December 31, 20042006 compared to positive net working capital of $93.5$234.7 million at December 31, 2003. Our2005. We expect our working capital requirements and capital expenditures could continue to increase in order to support future expansions of our operations through acquisition of land,lands, construction of a new factoryfactories on these lands to be acquired and machinery purchases. It is possible that future expansions may be significant and may require the payment of cash. Future liquidity needs will also depend on fluctuations in levels of inventory and shipments, changes in customer order volumes and timing of expenditures for new equipment.

     We currently believe that during the next twelve months, our capital expenditures will be in the range of $35$50 million to $55$60 million, principally for land, machinery and equipment, and expansion in China. To conserve cash in order to help finance our expansion, in 2006 our board changed our dividend policy so that our current policy is to

order to help finance our expansion, in 2006 our board changed our dividend policy so that our current policy is to declare a specific amount to be paid as dividends based on Nam Tai’s operating income for the prior year, its then current and estimated future cash, cash flow and capital expenditure requirements at the time of the yearly declaration and such other factors as Nam Tai’s board believes reasonable and appropriate to consider in the determination. We believe that our level of resources, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and available borrowings under our credit facilities will be adequate to fund these capital expenditures and our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Should we desire to consummate significant additional acquisition opportunities or undertake significant expansion activities, our capital needs would increase and could possibly result in our need to increase available borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or access public or private debt and equity markets. There can be no assurance, however, that we would be successful in raising additional debt or equity on terms that we would consider acceptable.

Privy Council Judgment/Bank of China Litigation
     As previously reported and disclosed earlier in this Report, for a number of years, Nam Tai has been involved in litigation against Tele-Art Inc., its initial liquidator and the Bank of China, concerning, among things, the priority of claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s insolvent estate and Nam Tai’s rights to have redeemed in 1999 and 2002 an aggregate of 308,227 of the common shares of Nam Tai beneficially held by Tele-Art Inc. in order to satisfy a portion of Nam Tai’s claims against Tele-Art Inc. After several decisions by the courts of the British Virgin Islands and appeals in these proceedings, judgment was rendered on November 20, 2006 by the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of United Kingdom declaring that:
     the redemptions by Nam Tai of common shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art Inc. that Nam Tai effected on January 22, 1999 and August 12, 2002 were nullities,
     the register of members of Nam Tai (i.e., Nam Tai’s shareholders’ register) should be rectified to reinstate the redeemed shares together with any other Nam Tai shares which have since accrued by way of exchange or dividend, and
     the reinstated shares should be delivered to the Bank of China as the holder of a security interest in Tele-Art Inc.’s assets.
     Since our redemptions of the 308,227 shares occurred before our three-for-one stock split and one-for-ten stock dividend that we effected in 2003, the total number shares that are being reinstated for delivery to the Bank of China as a result of the Privy Council’s judgment amount to 1,017,149 of our common shares.
     We have accounted for the obligation to reinstate the redeemed shares at their fair value (i.e. market closing price) on November 20, 2006, the date of the Judgment. Based on the proceedings with respect to the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc., any proceeds from sales of the shares by the Bank of China after the deduction of its valid claims and other costs and expenses of the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc. together with any Nam Tai shares remaining after the Bank of China’s sales of that collateral, are to be shared among Nam Tai and two other unsecured creditors on a pro-rata basis up to the amount of their valid claims against Tele-Art Inc. Nam Tai has been advised that of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation, approximately 95% consist of Nam Tai’s judgment against Tele-Art Inc. that the High Court of Justice in the British Virgin Islands awarded to Nam Tai in the amount of $34 million, plus interest, that resulted from damages Nam Tai suffered from a 1993 injunction obtained by Tele-Art Inc. The remainder of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation consist of Nam Tai’s claims for other amounts owed to it by Tele-Art Inc. which aggregate to approximately 4% of the total unsecured claims in the liquidation, with the remainder of the aggregate unsecured claims consisting of those of the two other unsecured creditors.
     The amount actually recoverable, if any, by Nam Tai on its judgments against Tele-Art Inc. and other claims will depend on the price realized by the liquidator when Nam Tai’s shares are sold to satisfy creditors’ claims against Tele-Art Inc. and thus is dependent on the market price at the time of sale as well as the actual amounts of the claims of the Bank of China and the other creditors against Tele-Art Inc. and ultimate expenses of the liquidator. Because of uncertainties relating to the timing of Bank of China’s actions with respect to the disposition of the Nam Tai shares delivered to it pursuant to the Judgment, including the timing of any sales and the amount of proceeds to be realized, the actual amount of Bank of China’s claims, including interest, costs and expenses, whether the Bank of China actually remits any excess proceeds or shares to the liquidator for the benefit of Tele-Art Inc.’s unsecured creditors, the uncertain effect of any claims that Nam Tai may assert against the Bank of China, the possibility that Nam Tai will be forced to seek further recourse from the courts in an effort to protect its position and the timing, cost and uncertain success of such recourse, Nam Tai has determined not to record any value to a potential recovery on its unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s estate in liquidation in its financial statements until the prospects of recovery, if any,

52


becomes reasonably certain to Nam Tai. We may incur substantial additional costs in pursuing our recovery, and neither the amount of our judgments against Tele-Art Inc. nor such costs may be recoverable.
     We have not paid dividends on the redeemed shares since their redemption and at March 1, 2007, the amount that would have accrued on the redeemed shares had such shares not been redeemed totaled approximately $5.6 million. Although the Privy Council did not address the issue of these dividends in its Judgment of November 20, 2006, following the Judgment, the Bank of China has made claim to such dividends, a claim that Nam Tai has denied. Litigation may ensue over the Bank of China’s or the liquidator of Tele-Art Inc.’s right to the dividends and if we cannot successfully prevail on such claim or claims, of which there can be no assurance, we will suffer additional losses on account of having redeemed Tele-Art Inc.’s Nam Tai shares.

     There are no material restrictions (including foreign exchange controls) on the ability of our non-China subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans, advances or product or material purchases. With respect to our ChinaPRC subsidiaries, with the exception of a requirement that 10%about 11% of profits be reserved for future developments and staff welfare, there are no restrictions on the payment of dividends and the removal of dividends from China once all taxes are paid and assessed and losses, if any, from previous years have been made good. In the event that dividends are paid by our ChinaPRC subsidiaries, such dividends will reduce the amount of reinvested profits and, accordingly, the refund of taxes paid will be reduced to the extent of tax applicable to profits not reinvested.

Impact of Inflation

     Inflation and deflation in China, Hong Kong and Macao has not had a material effect on our past business. During times of inflation, we have generally been able to increase the price of its products in order to keep pace with inflation.

Exchange Controls

     There are no exchange control restrictions on payments of dividends, interest, or other payments to nonresident holders of our securities or on the conduct of our operations in Hong Kong and Macao, where the offices of some of our subsidiaries are located, or in the British Virgin Islands, where we are incorporated. Other jurisdictions in which we conduct operations may have various exchange controls. With respect to our ChinaPRC subsidiaries, with the exception of a requirement that 10%about 11% of profits be reserved for future developments and staff welfare, there are no restrictions on the payment of dividends and the removal of dividends from China once all taxes are paid and assessed and losses, if any, from previous years have been made good. We believe such restrictions will not have a material effect on our liquidity or cash flows.

Recent Changes in Accounting Standards

     In March 2004, theSeptember 2005, Emerging Issues Task Force or EITF,(“EITF”) of the FASB reached a final consensus on Issue 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”. EITF 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty be combined and considered a single arrangement for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”, when the transactions are entered into in contemplation of one another. EITF 03-1,“The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The consensus was that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS Nos. 115 and 124, that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. This EITF consensus04-13 is effective for fiscal years endingnew arrangements entered into, or modifications or renewals of existing arrangements, in interim or annual periods beginning after DecemberMarch 15, 2003. Adoption2006. The effect of the adoption of EITF consensus04-13 did not result in anhave a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a re-measurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 155 in the first quarter of 2007. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, of SFAS No. 155 on its financial position, results of operation and cash flow.
     In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. It is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating the effect of the adoption of the FIN 48. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     In November 2004,September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.157, “Fair Value Measurement.” SFAS No. 151 clarifies157 addresses standardizing the accountingmeasurement of fair value for companies who are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes. The FASB defines fair value as “the price that requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and spoilage costswould be received to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheadssell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.measure date.” SFAS No. 151 will be157 is effective for inventory costs incurred on orfinancial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after July 1, 2005.November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,“Share-Based Payment”. This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Entities will be required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period), in exchange for the award. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments will be estimated using option pricing models. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. In accordance with the standard, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective July 1, 2005.

     Upon adoption, the Company has two application methods to choose from: the modified-prospective transition approach or the modified-retrospective transition approach. Under the modified-prospective transition method, the Company would be required to recognize compensation cost for share-based awards to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied, as well as compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of the date of adoption. Prior periods remain unchanged and pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 continue to be required. Under the modified-retrospective transition method, the Company would restate prior periods by recognizing compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosure under SFAS No. 123. Under this method, the Company is permitted to apply this presentation to all periods presented or to the start of the fiscal year in which SFAS No. 123R is adopted. The Company would follow the same guidelines as in the modified-prospective transition method for awards granted subsequent to adoption and those that were granted and not yet vested. The Company has not yet determined which methodology it will adopt but believes that the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will157. It is not expected to have a material impact on itsthe Company’s financial position, or results of operations will approximateand cash flows.

     In September 2006, the magnitudeU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the stock-based employee compensation cost disclosedcarryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in Note 2 (p) pursuant toquantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     In January 2003, we invested $10.0 million for a 25% equity interest in Alpha Star Investments Ltd., the ultimate parent of JCT. JCT is engaged in the design, development and marketing of wireless communication terminals and wireless application software. In connection with our investment, Mr. Koo was appointed as a director to Alpha Star Investment Ltd.’s Board of Directors. Mr. Koo resigned from the Board of Directors of Alpha Star Investment Ltd. on July 12, 2004. We currently manufacture wireless communication terminals and related modules for JCT. As part of our investment, Alpha Star Investment Ltd. agreed to have us manufacture the RF modules for at least 50 percent of the orders it, or any of its subsidiaries, receives for RF modules provided we perform such manufacturing services at a price comparable to the market. As of December 31, 2004, we were owed $66,000 from JCT. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recognized net sales of $34.2 million to JCT and purchased raw materials of approximately $12.4 million from JCT and its related companies.

     On February 16, 2004, by unanimous consent following resolutions without meeting, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution for the sale of a residential property located in Hong Kong by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Nam Tai Group Management Limited or NTGM, to Mr. Tadao Murakami, Chairman of the Board of Directors, for consideration of approximately $1.8 million, which is close to the original acquired cost and appraised market value of the property as of January 31, 2004. The agreement for the sale of the property was entered into between Nam Tai Group Management Limited and Mr. Tadao Murakami on March 10, 2004.

     On December 10, 2004, by unanimous consent, the Board of Directors of Nam Tai Group Management Limited, adopted a resolution for assigning the beneficial interest of Nam Tai Group Management Limited in 10 units of debentures of nominal value of approximately $1,603 each, issued by The Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club to Mr. Koo at the consideration of approximately $231,000, which represented the book value of the debentures in the

Item 8.Financial Information

Financial Statements

     The Consolidated Financial Statements have been appended to this Form 20-F (see pages F-1F-3 to F-36). From year-end dated December 31, 20042006 to our reporting date of March 4, 2005,16, 2007 there has been no significant changes on our consolidated Financial Statements.

Change in Public Accountants

     In May 2002, upon consideration and to reduce our professional fees, our Board of Directors, including our Audit Committee, recommended that HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng replace Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as our independent auditors. This change was included in our proxy statement and approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting on June 14, 2002. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu did not resign or refuse to stand for re-election, and none of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu’s reports on the financial statements for either of the two years prior to the change and included in this Report contained an adverse opinion, disclaimer, modification or qualification.

statements.


     In November 2002, HLB advised us that they could not meet our audit requirements for the agreed fees and on a cost-effective basis because the increasingly complex regulatory guidelines for the auditing of public companies would require them to perform a significant portion of the final audit work with personnel from a U.S. affiliate. HLB submitted their resignation accordingly. There were no disagreements with HLB on any matter or accounting principle, practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

     In December 2002, in contemplation of our intention to list on the NYSE, we sought a replacement firm with a strong U.S. and Asian presence and an ability to handle our audit requirements. Accordingly, our Board of Directors appointed Grant Thornton as our independent public accountants based on Grant Thornton’s ranking among accounting firms in the U.S. and our Board’s belief that Grant Thornton would be acceptable to our shareholders. The appointment of Grant Thornton was accepted by our shareholders at our annual meeting held on July 8, 2003. Accordingly, Grant Thornton issued the audited account for 2002.

     In August 2003, we set up the PRC’s headquarters in Macao, China, due to our continuous increase in investment in PRC. Since Grant Thornton does not have an office in Macao and does not have a licence to handle Macao statutory tax filings, Grant Thornton tendered its resignation as our auditors. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, who had been our auditors from 1998-2001, was hired to audit for both 2002 and 2003. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu has been appointed as our auditors as of October 24, 2003. Grant Thornton will, however, continue to provide tax advisory services to us, other than with respect to Macao.

Legal Proceedings

     We are not a party to any legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to our business and there are no material legal proceedings pending with respect to our property, other than as described below.

Tele-Art Litigation

     In June 1997, Nam Tai filed a petition in the British Virgin Islands for the winding up of Tele-Art Inc. Inc. on account of an unpaid judgment debt owed to Nam Tai.Tai by Tele-Art Inc. The High Court of Justice of the British Virgin Islands, or the High Court, granted an order to wind up Tele-Art Inc. in July 1998 and1998. Tele-Art Inc. appealed to the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal upheldof the decisionBritish Virgin Islands, or the Court of Appeal, against the winding up order. This appeal was heard on January 13, 1999 by the Court of Appeal, which dismissed the appeal on January 25, 1999. On January 22, 1999, pursuant to our Articles of Association, we redeemed and cancelled 415,500 (Note 1)(see note 1 at the end of this section) shares of Nam Tai registered in the name of Tele-Art Inc. at a price of $3.73 per share to offset substantially all of the judgment debt of $799,000 plus interest and legal costs totaling approximately $1.7 million, includingmillion. Nam Tai had also previously withheld dividends that we had withheldon shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art Inc., which were applied towards the partial satisfaction of the said judgment debts, costs and creditedinterest.
     In September 1999, the High Court heard the application by Nam Tai dated March 22, 1994 for an inquiry into damage suffered by Nam Tai, or the First Inquiry, as a result of the ex-part injunction granted to Tele-Art Inc. against the judgment debt.

Nam Tai on September 29, 1993, which prohibited Nam Tai from proceeding with a rights offering in September 1993.

     Following the completion of the first redemption weon January 22, 1999, Nam Tai received notice that theDavid Hague, then liquidator of Tele-Art Inc., had obtained an ex-parte injunction from the High Court preventing usNam Tai from redeeming Nam Tai shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art, Inc.

•   Payment of all dividends in respect of Tele-Art, Inc.’s Nam Tai shares.

     On March 26, 2001, we filed a summons seeking to remove the liquidator for failing to act diligently in the performance of his duties and for knowingly misleading the court. On September 3, 2002, the liquidator submitted a letter of resignation prior to the scheduled removal hearing. A new liquidator was appointed by the BVI court on July 11, 2003.

     On July 5, 2002, upon our application, the courtHigh Court ordered the removal of the liquidator’sDavid Hague’s ex-parte injunction and ordered an inquiry into damages.damages suffered by Nam Tai filed its amended Pointsas a result of Claim of Defence on April 16, 2004.

     On August 9, 2002, the courtHigh Court delivered aits decision awarding us a judgment against Tele-Art, Inc. foron the First Inquiry and awarded Nam Tai damages of approximately $34.0 million.

Including the dividends which we had withheld and credited against the judgment, this offset a further approximately $3.5 million approximately, in judgment debts owed to us by Tele-Art Inc. We recorded the $3.3 million redemption net of expenses as other income in 2002.

     On     In accordance with the directions given by the High Court in respect of the Second Inquiry on March 28, 2003, Nam Tai filed its points of claim on April 3, 2003 and subsequently filed amended points of claim on April 16, 2003. In breach of the said directions, David Hague failed to file his points of defense on June 20, 2003 as ordered by the court but instead, he filed an application in the High Court, inter alia, to strike out Nam Tai’s points of claim and for summary judgment on the inquiry into damages on June 20, 2003. Nam Tai thereupon applied to the High Court on August 19, 2003 for judgment against David Hague in default of defense on the basis that David Hague had not complied with the directions of the court for the filing of his points of defense to Nam Tai’s points of claim.

     Both applications were heard by the High Court on May 12, 2004. At that hearing, the Court allowed David Hague to file his points of defense at the hearing on May 12, 2004. Nam Tai filed an application for leave to appeal against this ruling on May 24, 2004. The High Court dismissed David Hague’s strike-out application on December 14, 2004 and David Hague applied for leave to appeal against the order dismissing his application on December 28, 2004. Nam Tai’s appeal and David Hague’s appeal were heard by the Court of Appeal on September 19 to 21, 2005 and that court delivered its judgment on January 16, 2006. In this judgment, the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court’s ruling on David Hague’s application and struck out Nam Tai’s points of claim on the inquiry into damages on the ground that Nam Tai had no realistic chance of succeeding on the same. The Court also ordered costs against Nam Tai to be assessed on a prescribed costs basis. The Court further expressed the view that, in light of its dismissal of Nam Tai’s points of claim, it was not necessary to rule on Nam Tai’s appeal against the dismissal of its application for judgment in default since the point was now academic with the dismissal of Nam Tai’s points of claim.
     Nam Tai filed an application for leave to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal to the Privy Council, the final appellate court in the British Virgin Islands, on February 3, 2006. The application for leave to appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal on May 8, 2006. The Court delivered its judgment on May 9, 2006 dismissing Nam Tai’s application for leave on the ground that the matter was not one of great public importance and therefore did not merit the consideration of the Privy Council. Nam Tai was ordered to pay Mr. Hague’s costs of the application such costs were to be assessed in default of an agreement.
     Nam Tai being dissatisfied with the judgment of the Court of Appeal denying them leave to appeal applied directly to the Privy Council on November 3, 2006 for special leave to appeal to the Privy Council. This application has been set down for hearing in the Privy Council in London on March 29, 2007.
     Previously, on February 4, 1999, David Hague, the then liquidator of Tele-Art Inc., filed a summons, or the Priority Summons, in the British Virgin Islands seeking, among other matters:
     A declaration as to the respective priorities of the debts of Tele-Art Inc. to the Bank of China, Nam Tai, and other creditors and their respective rights to have their debts discharged out of the proceeds of the Tele-Art Inc.’s Nam Tai shares;
     An order setting aside the redemption of 415,500 (see note 1 at the end of this section) shares, and ordering delivery of all shares in our possession or control of to the liquidator; and
     Payment of all dividends in respect of Tele-Art Inc.’s Nam Tai shares.
     The Priority Summons was heard by the High Court on July 29 and 30, 2002. The Court delivered its judgment on January 21, 2003 judgment was delivered on the liquidators’ February 4, 1999 summons declaring that the redemption and set-off of dividends on the 415,500 (Note 1)(see note 1 at the end of this section) shares should be set aside and further that all of Tele-Art Inc.’s property withheld by usNam Tai be delivered to Tele-Art Inc. in liquidation. The orders granted in the judgment were substantially different from the relief sought in the February 4, 1999 application. On February 4, 2003, weNam Tai filed an application for a stay of execution and leave to appeal the decision listing eight grounds ofdecision. The appeal which was granted on June 23, 2003. The case was heard on January 12, 2004 and judgment was delivered on April 26, 2004. It wasThe Court of Appeal held that the redemption by Nam Tai of 415,500 (Note 1)(see note 1 at the end of this section) of Nam Tai’s shares owned by Tele-Art, Inc. was proper however,and efficacious. Nam Tai mustwas however ordered to return to the liquidator the redemption proceeds and dividends payable received toon the liquidator for distribution to the creditors.redeemed shares. David Hague the former liquidator of Tele-Art, Inc. who filed the original application in 1999, has obtained leave to appeal to the Privy Council the final appellate court for the British Virgin Islands, that part ofon September 21, 2004 the Court of Appeal judgment which upheldfinding that the redemption by Nam Tai was efficacious.

     The Bank of China, which had been involved in the proceedings in the High Court and Court of Appeal relating to the Priority Summons, applied to the Privy Council on December 12, 2005 for special leave to intervene and to be joined as a respondent to the Privy Council appeal of David Hague, firstly so as to be in a position to support David Hague’s appeal and secondly to appeal against that part of Court of Appeal order that declared that the redemption price for the sale of the TeleNam Tai shares owned by Tele- Art sharesInc. and redeemed by Nam Tai. It is not expectedTai and all withheld dividends to be paid to the liquidator of Tele-Art Inc. rather than the Bank of China despite a finding by the BVI court that this appeal will be heard before 2006. The court also held thatthe Bank of China was a secured creditor butof Tel-Art Inc. The Bank of China’s application for special leave was heard by the court did not determinePrivy Council on February 6, 2006 and which granted the amount owedBank of China special leave to intervene on the ground that the matter raised important points of law.
     The Privy Council heard David Hague’s Appeal on October 9, 2006 and delivered the Judgment on November 20, 2006 (the “Judgment”). In the Judgment, the Privy Council allowed Mr. Hague’s appeal and declared that Nam Tai’s redemptions of the shares of Nam Tai owned by Tele-Art Inc on January 22, 1999 and August 12, 2002 were nullities and ordered Nam Tai to rectify its register of members, i.e., shareholders registry, to reinstate the shares it had redeemed, together with any other shares which have accrued by way of exchange or dividend since the redemptions. It also declared in its Judgment that the Bank of China be registered as the owner of the reinstated shares. The Judgment ordered Nam Tai to pay the costs incurred of Mr. Hague and the Bank of China in the appeal to the Privy Council. Under the terms of the Judgment, the Bank of China is entitled to have Tel-Art Inc.’s debt to Bank of China. We dispute that finding,China and among other matters, have arguedits associated expenses in relation to the Privy Council proceedings paid from proceeds of the sale of the reinstated Nam Tai shares.
     Nam Tai has been advised by its counsel handling the litigation, that the proofPrivy Council is the final appellate court under the British Virgin Islands judicial system and, as such, Nam Tai has no further recourse by way of appeal or otherwise. Nam Tai is therefore obligated to comply with the Judgment.
     On January 8, 2007, the Bank of China wrote to Nam Tai demanding that it comply with the Privy Council Order by (a) rectifying its share register to reflect the fact that the Bank of China is the owner of 1,017,149 shares (b) issuing to the Bank of China a share certificate for the shares effective as of the dates they were redeemed and the dates of issue for shares attributable to the redeemed shares as a consequence of Nam Tai’s three-for-one stock split of June 30, 2003 and one-for-ten stock dividend of November 7, 2003 and (c) sending the share certificates to the Bank of China’s address stated in the Order. The Bank of China also demanded payment of dividends on the redeemed shares that the Bank of China calculated at approximately $5.6 million and made on the basis that as Bank of China, as the registered owner of the shares, was entitled to payment of these dividends.
     Nam Tai responded on January 23, 2007 confirming that it intended to take all necessary steps to comply with the Judgment and to this end was in the process of finalizing advice from its U.S. Securities lawyers on the proper method of reinstating the shares to the Bank of China. Nam Tai however disputed and disputes the Bank of China’s claim for payment of the dividends on the ground that this was contrary to what the Bank of China had argued in the Privy Council and in any event was not part of the Judgment.
     We have not paid dividends on the redeemed shares since 1997 and at March 1, 2007, the amount that would have accrued on the redeemed shares had such shares not been redeemed totaled approximately $5.6 million. Although the Privy Council did not address the issue of entitlement to post redemption dividends in its Judgment of November 20, 2006, following the Judgment, the Bank of China has made claim to such dividends, a claim that Nam Tai has denied. Litigation may ensue over the Bank of China’s or the liquidator of Tele-Art Inc.’s right to the dividends and if we cannot successfully prevail on such claim or claims, of which there can be no assurance, we will suffer additional losses on account of having redeemed our shares from Tele-Art.
     The Bank of China responded on January 30, 2007 demanding confirmation of the rectification of the share register within 14 days and receipt by the Bank of China of the share certificates for the shares. The Bank of China also asserted that payment of the cash dividends on the shares to be reinstated was a direct consequence of the Privy Council Order and that Nam Tai was obligated to pay the same to the Bank of China.
     Nam Tai’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Accordingly, we have applied to the NYSE to list on the NYSE the 1,017,149 shares to be reinstated and delivered to the Bank of China in accordance with the Judgment. We recently received notice from the NYSE that such shares had been approved for listing, subject to

66


official notice of reinstatement. Nam Tai is in the process of preparing instructions to its transfer agent to reinstate these shares and to register them in the name of the Bank of China.
     The amount of Tele-Art Inc’s obligations to the Bank of China that are subject to the Bank of China’s security interest in the shares to be reinstated has not yet been established; however, the Liquidator of Tele-Art Inc. has estimated that as of December 31, 2006 it was approximately HK$26,000,000, was equal to approximately $3,345,000 on that date in U.S. dollars. Additionally, the Bank is entitled under its share charge to recover its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering on Tel-Art Inc.’s debt and interest continues to accrue. Nam Tai may contest any or all of the amounts claimed by Bank of China was incompleteas underlying the share charge and invalid.

may assert claims against the Bank of China has submitted that it is a secured creditor. In this respect,concerning the Bank’s position is that as of December 6, 2004, the debt from Tele-Art Limited, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Tele-Art, Inc. (the loan was also guaranteed by Tele-Art, Inc.) was HK$21,985,970.16 (approximately US$2.8 million) with interest accruing at HK$4,264.7 (or US$547) daily. The liquidator, however, took the view in his third liquidator report which was submitted to the Court on October 13, 2004, that Bank of China’s proofconduct in and outside of debt was incomplete.the liquidation proceedings.

     On August 25, 2005, the Liquidator filed a summons in the High Court of the BVI seeking approval of his fourth liquidator’s report. The liquidator has requestedreport sought the Court’s approval to take further action and demand that Bank of China provide further information for his consideration. Nam Tai isrecommendation of the view that the amount of debt owed by Tele-Art LimitedInc. to Bank of China may not exceed $1.4 million. It should further be noted that apart from Nam Tai the liquidator admitted the proof of debts ofapproximately $38.0 million, to two other unsecured creditors which together amountedof approximately $221,127 and to approximately $33,000. David Hague the former liquidator, has submitted a claim for $381,860 in respect of fees and expenses for work done while acting as liquidatorLiquidator of Tele Art, Inc. These fees however are subject toapproximately $381,860. The report also sought the Court’s approval of the court and as such are still pending as they have not yet been approved. The Liquidator filed a SummonsNam Tai’s proposal for the approval of his third report on October 13, 2004 and this was heard on December 14, 2004. The Court inter alia ordered that the Liquidator continue the administrationdistribution of the liquidation of Tele-Art, Inc. substantially in accordance with his proposals contained in said reportredemption proceeds among the unsecured creditors as well as the second report.

Court’s directions on whether Bank of China was eligible to claim any amounts against Tele-Art Inc. and, if eligible, the quantum of such debt. This liquidator’s summons was scheduled for hearing on February 20, 2006, but that hearing was postponed to a date to be fixed by the Registrar of the High Court. We anticipate that in light of the Judgment of November 20, 2006, the Liquidator may seek to have the issues raised in its summons adjudicated by the BVI court, but to date we have received no information to that effect or otherwise and the status at present of this proceeding remains unchanged.

     On April 11, 2005, Bank of China also filed a summons to the British Virgin Islands Court seeking orders to force Nam Tai to pay the redemption price and dividends ordered by the Court of Appeal on the appeal of the Priority Summons to Bank of China. Nam Tai filed an affidavit of evidence in response on July 19, 2005. A determination by the Court of this proceeding has, now been rendered moot by the Judgment and although we expect that the Bank of China will now withdraw or abandon its prosecution of this proceeding. Through March 16, 2007, we had not received information to that effect or otherwise.
     As of December 31, 2002, due tobecause of the uncertainty of the final outcome of the litigation as a result of the January 21, 2003 judgment, and in accordance with SFAS No. 5,“Accounting for Contingencies”,, we have recorded a provision for $5.2 million as a component of accrued expenses, pending a final determination of this matter by the courts. This representedcourts, representing the then-best estimate of the net monetary expense we would incur if our appeal isto the judgment in relation to the Priority Summons on January 21, 2003 was unsuccessful and the two judgment debts in the total amount of $38.0 million (including interest, costs, and related expenses) iswas determined as having the lowest priorities in recovering from the estate of Tele-Art Inc. As ofAccording to the information provided by the Liquidator on November 7, 2003, apart from Nam Tai, a total of three other creditors of Tele-Art Inc., including Bank of China, had submitted their proof of debt to the liquidator. These claims, together with the claim by David Hague the former liquidator of the Company forand other estimated outstanding fees and expenses amounted to approximately $3.4$3.9 million. As a result, the 2002 provision for $5.2 million was reduced to $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.
     The losses we incurred of $14.5 million at and through our year ended December 31, 2006 arising from the Judgment ordering reinstatement of our redeemed shares were determined after by taking into account the fair value (i.e. market closing price) of our shares on November 20, 2006 (the date of the Judgment); the estimated costs and expenses of the Bank of China and David Hague that we expect will be claimed in connection with the Privy Council litigation proceedings; and a reversal of a $3.9 million provision we had made in 2003 with respect to these proceedings. We may incur additional losses in the future as a result of the reinstatement of our shares to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Bank of China and David Hague increase beyond the aggregate amount we have estimated at December 31, 2006 for purposes of determining the $14.5 million in losses.
     Based on the proceedings with respect to the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc. any proceeds from sales of the shares by the Bank of China after the deduction of its valid claims and other costs and expenses of the liquidation of Tele-Art Inc., together with any Nam Tai shares remaining after Bank of China’s sales of that collateral, are to be shared among Nam Tai and two other unsecured creditors on a pro-rata basis up to the amount of their valid claims against Tele-Art Inc. Once the debt to Bank of China has been satisfied, Nam Tai believes that it and the other unsecured creditors of Tele-Art, Inc. would be entitled to payment of their debt from the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the Tele-Art, Inc.’s Nam Tai shares.Nam Tai has been advised that of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation, approximately 95 % consist of Nam Tai’s judgment against Tele-Art that the High Court of

67

     With


Justice in the British Virgin Islands awarded to Nam Tai in the amount of $34 million, plus interest, that resulted from damages Nam Tai suffered from a 1993 injunction obtained by Tele-Art Inc. The remainder of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc. in the liquidation consist of Nam Tai’s claims for other amounts owed to it by Tele-Art Inc., which aggregate to approximately 4 % of the total unsecured claims in the liquidation, with the remainder of the aggregate unsecured claims consisting of those of the two judgment debtsother unsecured creditors.
     The amount actually recoverable, if any, by Nam Tai on its judgments against Tele-Art Inc. and other claims will depend on the price realized by the liquidator when Nam Tai’s shares are sold to satisfy creditors’ claims against Tele-Art Inc. and thus is dependent on the market price at the time of sale as well as the several costs orders in favouractual amounts of Nam Tai, Nam Tai is the major unsecured creditorclaims of the Bank of China and the other creditors against Tele-Art Inc. holding approximately 99.9% outstanding debtsand ultimate expenses of Tele-Art, Inc. Pursuantthe liquidator. Because of uncertainties relating to the judgment of April 26 2004, we are in negotiations with the liquidator on the distribution of the redemption proceeds among the unsecured creditors. If our proposal is accepted by the liquidator and approved by the court, as well as all the legal matters related to Tele-Art, Inc. finalized, including the final determination of the creditor’s positiontiming of Bank of China, thenChina’s actions with respect to the remaining portiondisposition of $3.9 million provision will alsothe Nam Tai shares delivered to it pursuant to the Judgment, including the timing of any sales and the amount of proceeds to be reversed into income for the related period.

     However,realized, the actual amount of Bank of China’s claims, including interest, costs and expenses, whether Bank of China actually remits any excess proceeds or shares to the liquidator for the benefit of Tele-Art Inc.’s unsecured creditors, the uncertain effect of any claims that Nam Tai may assert against Bank of China, the possibility that Nam Tai will be forced to seek further recourse from the courts in an effort to protect its position and the timing, cost and uncertain success of such recourse, Nam Tai has determined not to record any value to a potential recovery on its unsecured claims against Tele-Art Inc.’s estate in liquidation in its consolidated financial statements until the prospects of recovery, if any, is uncertain,becomes reasonably certain to Nam Tai. We may incur substantial additional costs in pursuing our recovery, and is dependent on a numberneither the amount of factors including the final determination of Bank of China’s position. We planour judgments against Tele-Art Inc. nor such costs may be recoverable.

     Nam Tai plans to continue to pursue vigorously all legal alternatives available to seek to recover the maximum amount of the outstanding debt from Tele-Art Inc. as well as to pursue other parties that may have assisted in any transfers of the assets from Tele-Art Inc.
     In furtherance of this objective, Nam Tai commenced proceedings in September 2002 against David Hague the former liquidator of Tele-Art, Inc., and PriceWaterhouseCoopers for, inter alia, negligence and breach of statutory duty in their conduct of the liquidation. This matter is stillDavid Hague had submitted a letter of resignation for the post of liquidator of Tele-Art Inc. on September 3, 2002, to the High Court and his resignation was approved by the High Court on December 17, 2002. A new liquidator, Mr. Glenn Harrigan, was then appointed by the British Virgin Islands, court on July 11, 2003.
     David Hague and PriceWaterhouseCoopers applied to the High Court on December 24, 2002, challenging the service of these proceedings on them in Hong Kong and British Virgin Islands court’s jurisdiction to determine the claim applied by Nam Tai. The application was heard by the High Court on May 11 and 12, 2004 and dismissed in its initial stages as the Defendants are seekingjudgment on October 29, 2004. David Hague and PriceWaterhouseCoopers obtained leave to appeal againstthis judgment in March 2005 and the dismissalappeal was heard by the Court of their challengeAppeal on September 19 to 21, 2005. The Court of Appeal delivered its judgment dismissing the appeal and awarding costs to Nam Tai. David Hague and PriceWaterhouseCoopers made an application on February 6, 2006 for leave to appeal this judgment to the jurisdicationPrivy Council. Nam Tai cross-applied for leave to appeal to the Privy Council on February 3, 2006 the costs awarded to Nam Tai in the Court of Appeal on the basis that such costs were determined by the application of incorrect legal principles and were in any event too low and inconsistent with cost orders made against Nam Tai in other appeal proceedings involving David Hague.
     Both Nam Tai and the David Hague’s application for leave to Appeal were heard by the Court of Appeal on May 9, 2006. The Court granted David Hague’s application for leave to appeal but dismissed Nam Tai’s application with costs on the ground that the matter was not one of great public importance but merely concerned the private matter of a party to litigation being aggrieved by the costs awarded to it by the Court. Nam Tai being dissatisfied with this decision applied for special leave to appeal direct to the Privy Council on November 4, 2006. This application has been listed for hearing in London before the Privy Council on March 29, 2007. No date has however been fixed for the hearing of the David Hague’s substantive appeal but it is expected that same will come on for hearing sometime in the middle of the year.
     Nam Tai has also instituted proceedings in the British Virgin Islands against UBS PaineWebber, or UBS, on June 20, 2005, for breach of trust with respect to UBS’s role as brokers in carrying out the terms of the September 1997 British Virgin Islands court order for the sale of Tele-Art Inc.’s Nam Tai shares in sufficient quantities to pay the debts of the Bank of China and Nam Tai. UBS subsequently filed an application challenging the jurisdiction of the Court. On July 25, 2006 however, the Court upon the application of PaineWebber made an Order staying the BVI courtscourt proceedings pending the outcome of the New York Court proceedings which in this matter. We may incur substantial additional costseffect dealt with almost identical matters

as the BVI proceedings. This stay remains in pursuing our recoveryplace and such costs may not be recoverable.

The Actions have been consolidated since JulyLead Case No. 03-cv-01148-JES, originally commenced on February 20, 2003 and purportspending in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiffs purport to represent a putative class of persons who purchased theour common stock of Nam Taishares from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003. Plaintiffs in the Actions assertThe plaintiffs have asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and allege that misrepresentations and/or omissions were made during the alleged class period concerning the partial reversal of an inventory provision and a charge to goodwill related to Nam Tai’s LPTour LCD Products segment. OurWe have filed an answer to the amended and consolidated complaint and oral argument on the plaintiffs’ most recent motion to dismissfor class certification was deniedheld on September 27, 2004.February 1, 2007. The putative class action hasCourt reserved judgment on the motion at the conclusion of the oral argument and had not been certifiedrendered a ruling as a class action by the court butclose of business on March 16, 2007. We believe we expect plaintiffs to seek such certification in the near future. The court has set May 23, 2005 to hear the certification motion. Nam Tai believes it hashave meritorious defenses and intendsintend to continue to defend the caseactions vigorously.

The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at present. However, this litigation has been and is expected to continue to be very costly and could divert our management’s attention and resources. In addition, we have no insurance covering our liability, if any, or that of our officers and directors, for this lawsuit and we are paying the costs of defense and those of our directors. Any adverse determination in this litigation could also subject us to the payment of material amounts, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

Holders of our common shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All of our common shares are equal to each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights. Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available under British Virgin Islands law. In the event of our liquidation, all assets available for distribution to the holders of our common shares are distributable among them according to their respective holdings. Holders of our common shares have no preemptive rights to purchase any additional, unissued common shares. All of our outstanding common shares are duly authorized, validly issued and nonassessable. All of our outstanding common shares are in registered form and we do not have any outstanding bearer shares.

     Pursuant to our Memorandum and Articles of Association and pursuant to the laws of the British Virgin Islands, our Board of Directors without shareholder approval may amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association. This includes amendments to increase or reduce our authorized capital stock. Our ability to amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of Nam Tai, including a tender offer to purchase our common shares at a premium over the then-current market price.

     We have never had any class of stock outstanding other than our common shares nor have we ever changed the voting rights with respect to our common shares.

     Our registered office is at P.O. Box 3342, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and we have been assigned company number 3805. Our object or purpose is to engage in any act or activity that is not prohibited under British Virgin Islands law as set forth in Clause 4 of our Memorandum of Association. As an International Business

71


Company, and as set forth in Clause 6, we are prohibited from doing business with persons resident in the British Virgin Islands, owning real estate in the British Virgin Islands, or accepting banking deposits or contracts of insurance. We do not believe these restrictions materially affect our operations.

     Paragraph 60 of our Amended Articles of Association, or Articles, provides that a director may be counted as one of a quorum in respect of any contract or arrangement in which the director is materially interested or makes with the Company; however, if the agreement or transaction cannot be approved by a resolution of directors without counting the vote or consent of any interested director, the agreement or transaction may only be validated by approval or ratification by a resolution of the shareholders, who are referred under the law of the British Virgin Islands as “members.” Paragraph 53 of the Articles allows the directors to vote compensation to themselves in respect of services rendered to us. Paragraph 69 of the Articles provides that the directors may by resolution exercise all the powers on our behalf to borrow money and to mortgage or charge our undertakings and property or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever we borrow money or as security for any of our debts, liabilities or obligations or those of any third party. These borrowing powers can be altered by an amendment to the Articles. There is no provision in the Articles for the mandatory retirement of directors; however, we have fixed 65 as the mandatory age of retirement for our directors. Directors are not required to own our shares in order to serve as directors.

     Paragraph 85 of the Articles allows us to deduct from any shareholder’s dividends amounts owing to us by that shareholder. Paragraph 13.1 provides that we can redeem shares at fair market value from any shareholder against whom we have a judgment debt.

     Paragraph 12 of the Articles provides that without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares, any of our shares may be issued with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividends, voting, return of capital or otherwise as the directors may from time to time determine.

     Paragraph 14 of the Articles provides that if at any time the authorized share capital is divided into different classes or series of shares, the rights attached to any class or series may be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths of the issued shares of any other class or series of shares which may be affected by such variation.

     Provisions in respect of the holding of general meetings and extraordinary general meetings are set out in Paragraphs 27 to 46 of the Articles and under the International Business Companies Act. The directors may convene meetings of our shareholders at such times and in such manner and places as the directors consider necessary or desirable, and they shall convene such a meeting upon the written request of shareholders holding more than 30 percent30% of the votes of our outstanding voting shares. Other than providing, if requested, reasonable proof of a holder’s status as a holder of our shares as of the applicable record date, there is no condition to the admission of a shareholder or his or her proxy holder to our meetings of shareholders.

55


     British Virgin Islands law and our Memorandum and Articles of Association impose no limitations on the right of nonresident or foreign owners to hold or vote our securities.

     There are no provisions in our Memorandum of Association or Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

     As a result of the issuance of additional common shares in 2003 pursuant to the three-for-one stock split and increase in the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 1993 Stock Option Plan and 2001 Stock Option Plan, the authorized share capital of the Company was enlarged from $200,000 to $2,000,000 and number of shares was increased from 20,000,000 to 200,000,000. The full text of our Amended Articles and Memorandum, amended on June 26, 2003, had been filed as Exhibit 1.1 with the Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2003.

Taxation

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

     The discussion below is for general information only and is not, and should not be interpreted to be, tax advice to any holder of our common shares. Each holder or a prospective holder of our common shares is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor.

General

     This section is a general summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders, as defined below, of the ownership and disposition of our common shares as of the date of this report. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the applicable Treasury regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings and practice, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. The summary applies to you only if you hold our common shares as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. The United States Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, may challenge the tax consequences described below, and we have not requested, nor will we request, a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding or disposing of our common shares. This summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the ownership of our common shares. In particular, the discussion below does not cover tax consequences that depend upon your particular tax circumstances nor does it cover any state, local or foreign law, or the possible application of United States federal estate or gift tax. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of the United States federal income tax laws to your particular situation as well as any state, local, foreign and the United States federal estate and gift tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the common shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account any special United States federal income tax rules that apply to a particular U.S. or Non-U.S. holder of our common shares, including, without limitation, the following:
    a dealer in securities or currencies;
    a trader in securities that elects to use a market-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings;

    a person that holds our common shares in a hedging transaction or as part of a straddle or a conversion transaction;
    a person whose functional currency for United States federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar;

U.S. Holders
    For purposes of the discussion below, you are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of our common shares who or which is:

•  an individual United States citizen or resident alien of the United States (as specifically defined for United States federal income tax purposes);

•  a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State or political subdivision thereof;

58


    an individual United States citizen or resident alien of the United States (as specifically defined for United States federal income tax purposes);

    a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia;
    an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or
    a trust (x) if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) if it was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person prior to that date and has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
Distributions on Our Common Shares

     Subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, considerations discussed below, the gross amount of any cash distribution or the fair market value of any property distributed that you receive with respect to our common shares generally will be subject to tax as ordinary dividend income to the extent such distribution does not exceed our current or accumulated earnings and profits, or E&P, as calculated for United States federal income tax purposes. Such income will be includable in your gross income on the date of receipt. Subject to certain limitations, dividends paid to noncorporatenon-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation if we are a “qualified foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A qualified foreign corporation includes (i) a foreign corporation that is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, and (ii) a foreign corporation if its stock with respect to which a dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market within the United States, but does not include an otherwise qualified corporation that is a PFIC. We believe that we will be a qualified foreign corporation for so long as we are not a PFIC and our common shares are considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market within the United States. No assurances can be made that our Company’s status as a qualified foreign corporation will not change. To the extent any distribution exceeds our E&P, such distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in our common shares and will be applied against and reduce such basis on a dollar-for-dollar basis (thereby increasing the amount of gain and decreasing the amount of loss recognized on a subsequent disposition of such shares). To the extent that such distribution exceeds your adjusted tax basis in our common shares, the distribution will be treated as capital gain. Because we are not a United States corporation, no dividends-received deduction will be allowed to corporations with respect to dividends paid by us.

     For United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes, dividends received on our common shares will be treated as foreign source income and for taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2006 generally will be “passive income,”

75


“passive income”, or in the case of certain holders, “financial services income.”income”. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2006, dividends generally will be “passive category income,”income”, or in the case of certain holders, “general category income.” You may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of foreign withholding taxes, if any, imposed on dividends receivedpaid on our common shares. The rules governing United States foreign tax credits are complex, and we recommend that you consult your tax advisor regarding the applicability of such rules to you.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Shares

     Subject to the PFIC considerations discussed below, generally, in connection with the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares:

    you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference (if any) between:
 you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference (if any) between:o

 the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and
 
o your adjusted tax basis in such common shares (your adjusted tax basis in the shares you hold generally will equal your U.S. dollar cost of such shares);

•  such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for our common shares is more than one year at the time of such sale or other disposition;
•  such gain or loss will generally be treated as United States source for United States foreign tax credit purposes; and
•  your ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

    such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period for our common shares is more than one year at the time of such sale or other disposition;
    such gain or loss will generally be treated as United States source for United States foreign tax credit purposes; and
    your ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.
PFIC Considerations

     A foreign corporation will be treated as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes if, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of passive income or 50% or more of the gross value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other that rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. We presently believe that we arewere not a PFIC for our fiscal years ended on December 31, 2006, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC. This is, however, a factual determination made on an annual basis and is subject to change. The U.S. Treasury Department has announced that it will issue Regulations that will provide for procedures for certifying that a foreign company is not a PFIC in the taxable year in which a dividend is paid, or in the preceding taxable year, as one of the prerequisites for the application of the reduced tax rates on such dividend. It is unclear whether we will be able to comply with such certification requirement if and when it is issued. If we were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, (i) U.S. Holders would generally be required to treat any gain on sales of our shares held by them as ordinary income and to pay an interest charge on the value of the deferral of their United States federal income tax attributable to such gain and (ii) distributions paid by us to our U.S. Holders could also be subject to an interest charge. In addition, we would not provide information to our U.S. Holders that would enable them to make a “qualified electing fund” election under which, generally, in lieu of the foregoing treatment, our earnings would be currently included in their United States federal income.

Non-U.S. Holders
     If you are not a U.S. Holder, you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.”
Distributions on Our Common Shares
     You generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, on distributions made on our common shares unless:
    you conduct a trade or business in the United States and
    the distributions are effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if an applicable income tax treaty so requires as a condition for you to be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in respect of income from our common shares, such distributions are attributable to a permanent establishment that you maintain in the United States).

ItemITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
QuantitativeCurrency Fluctuations and Qualitative Disclosure About MarketForeign Exchange Risk

Currency Fluctuations

     Beginning on December 1, 1996, the RMB became fully convertible under the current accounts. There are no restrictions on trade-related foreign exchange receipts and disbursements in China. Capital account foreign exchange receipts and disbursements are subject to control, and organizations in China are restricted in foreign currency transactions that must take place through designated banks.
     We sell a majority of our products in USU.S. dollars and pay for our material components in Japanese yen, U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and Chinese renminbi.RMB. We pay labor costs and overhead expenses in Chinese renminbi,RMB, the currency of China (the basic unit of which is the yuan), Hong Kong dollars and Japanese yen. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollardollars to the U.S. dollar hasdollars have been fixed by the Hong Kong government since 1983 at approximately HK$7.80 to US$1.00, through the currency-issuing banks in Hong Kong and, accordingly, has not in the past presented a currency exchange risk. This could change in the future if those in Hong Kong arguing for a floating currency system prevail in the ongoing debate over whether to continue to peg the Hong Kong dollardollars to the US dollar.

     We believe our mostU.S. dollars.

     In the past, we faced a significant foreign exchange risk resultsresulted from material purchases we made in Japanese yen. Approximately 8%6%, 16%3%, and 6%,11% respectively, of our material costs have beenwere in Japanese yen during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003,2004, 2005 and 2004. Sales2006, respectively, and sales we made in yen only accounted for 4%, 2% and 9%, respectively, of our sales for each of the last three years. Net expenses we paid in Japanese yen account for less than 11% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Ourwhen translated to U.S. dollars were not material to us during 2005 or 2006.Our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected in the event of a severe increase in the value of the Japanese yen to the US dollarU.S. dollars at a time when our sales made in Japanese yen are insufficient to cover our material purchases in Japanese yen.

     Beginning on December 1, 1996, the Chinese renminbi became fully convertible under the current accounts. There

     Our operating expenses and a substantial portion of our assets are no restrictions on trade-relateddenominated in RMB. We believe that our most significant foreign exchange receiptsrisk recently and disbursements in China. Capital account foreign exchange receiptsthe near future relates to operating expenses we pay in RMB. We incurred approximately 63.6% of our total non-material costs and disbursements are subjectexpenses in RMB during the year ended December 31, 2006. This currency was stronger against the U.S. dollars during the year ended year ended December 31 2006 compared to control, and organizationsthe year ended December 31, 2005 so expenses we paid in China are restrictedwith RMB translated into more dollars than they would have in foreign currency transactions2005.
     Immediately prior to July 21, 2005 the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollars has varied by less than one-tenth of 1%. However, on July 21, 2005, the People’s Bank of China adjusted the exchange rate of RMB to the U.S. dollars by linking the RMB to a basket of currencies and simultaneously setting the exchange rate of RMB to U.S. dollars, from 1:8.27, to a narrow band of around 1:8.11, resulting in an approximate 2.4% appreciation in the value of the RMB against the U.S. dollars at the end of 2005, from the July 21, 2005 RMB adjustment, a 3.3% appreciation at the end of 2006 as compared to the end of 2005 and 5.7% cumulative appreciation at the end of 2006 as compared to the level immediately prior to the July 21, 2005 adjustment in the exchange rate.
     This appreciation of RMB when translated to U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in our total costs and expenses of approximately 0.5% during 2006 based on the difference between sales versus costs and expenses incurred in RMB. If the RMB had been 1% and 5% less valuable against the U.S. dollars than the actual rate as of December 31, 2006, which was used in preparing our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, our net asset value, as presented in U.S. dollars, would have been reduced by $299,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. Conversely, if the RMB had been 1% and 5% more valuable against the U.S. dollars as of that must take place through designated banks.

date, then our net asset value would have increased by $299,000 and $1.5 million, respectively. Had rates of the RMB been 10% higher relative to the U.S. dollars during 2006, our operating expenses would have increased $6.1 million as a result of expenses we paid in RMB during 2006.


     Our results of operations may be negatively impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollars and RMB. If the RMB continues to appreciate against the U.S. dollars, our operating expenses will increase and, consequently, our operating margins and net income will likely decline if we do not manufacture products that allow for greater margins than those we have experienced historically.

     We may elect to hedge our currency exchange risk when we judge that such action may be required. In an attempt to lower the costs of expenditures in foreign currencies, we may enter into forward contracts or option contracts to buy or sell foreign currency(ies) against the U.S. dollardollars through one of our banks. As a result, we may suffer

78


losses resulting from the fluctuation between the buy forward exchange rate and the sell forward exchange rate, or from the price of the option premium.

     As of December 31, 2004,2006, we held no option or future contracts and during the year and we did not purchase or sell any commodity or currency options. We are continuing to review our hedging strategy and there can be no assurance that we will not suffer losses in the future as a result of hedging activities.

Interest Rate Risk

Short-term interest rate risk

     Our interest expenses and income are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All of our cash reserves and short-term borrowings are subject to interest rate changes. Cash on hand of $160.6$221.1 million as of December 31, 20042006 was invested in short-term interest-bearing investments having a maturity of three months or less. As such, interest income will fluctuate with changes in short-term interest rates. In 2004,2006, we had $1.1$8.5 million in interest income and $195,000$0.6 million in interest expense.

     As of December 31, 2004,2005 and 2006, we had utilized approximately $3.4$7.1 million and $4.5 million of our credit facilities, including $2.1$4.8 million and $4.5 million in short-term notes payable and $2.3 million and nil in short-term bank loans, respectively, resulting in minimal interest rate risk.

Long-term interest rate risk

     As of December 31, 2004,2006, we had $8.0$2.9 million in long-term bank borrowing, including the current portion of $2.9$1.8 million.

     Our long-term bank borrowing consisted of a $4.5 million term loan obtained in May 2002, has a term of four years and bear interest at a rate of 1.5% and subsequently changed to 0.75% effective August 2004 over three months’ LIBOR repayable in 16 quarterly installments of $281,250 beginning August 2002. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 20042005 was $1.7$0.6 million. A $1.6 million term loan obtained in April 2004 has a term of four years and bears interest at a rate of 0.75% over three months’ LIBOR repayable in 16 quarterly installments of $100,000 beginning July 2004.

     We obtained a seven-year $15.0 million term loan in the fourth quarter of 2001 with a fixed rate of interest of 5.05% for the first four years and 1% over the SIBOR rate for the last three years.

Further, the design of an internala control system must reflect the fact that the Company is subject tothere are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in alla cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Nam Tai Electronics, Inc.:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsManagement’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting disclosed in Item 15 of the Form 20-F, that Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20032006, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and 2004,for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004.2006 and our report dated March 16, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1. Company Information
 
 Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Nam Tai”) is an electronics manufacturing and design services provider to a selected group of the world’s leading original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, of telecommunication and consumer electronic products. Through its electronics manufacturing services or EMS, operations, the Company manufactures electronic components and subassemblies,sub-assemblies, including liquid crystal display or LCD,(“LCD”) panels, LCD modules, radio frequency or RF, modules, flexible printed circuit subassemblies andsub-assemblies, digital audio broadcast modules, image sensors modules.modules and printed circuit board assembles for headsets containing Bluetooth wireless technology. These components are used in numerous electronic products, including cellularmobile phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, copiers, fax machines, electronic toys, handheld video game devices and microwave ovens.entertainment devices. The Company also manufactures finished products, including cellular phones, palm-sized PC’s, personal digital assistants, electronic dictionaries, calculators, digital cameraentertainment devices, mobile phone accessories and Bluetooth wireless headset accessory for use with cellular phones.educational products.
 
 The Company was founded in 1975 and moved its manufacturing facilities to the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) in 1980 to take advantage of lower overhead costs, lower material costs and competitive labor rates available and subsequently relocated to Shenzhen, the PRC in order to capitalize on opportunities offered in Southern China. The Company was reincorporated as a limited liability International Business Company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) in August 1987. The Company’s principal manufacturing and design operations are based in Shenzhen, the PRC, approximately 30 miles from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”). Its PRC headquarters are located in the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”). Some of the subsidiaries’ offices are located in Macao and Hong Kong, and Macao, which providesprovide it access to Macao’s and Hong Kong’s and Macao’s infrastructure of communication and banking and facilitates management of its PRC operations.facilities. The Company’s principal manufacturing operations are conducted in the PRC. The PRC resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao effective July 1, 1997 and December 20, 1999, respectively, and politically, Hong Kong and Macao are integral parts of China. However, for simplicity and as a matter of definition only, our references to PRC in these consolidated financial statements means the PRC and all of its territories excluding Hong Kong and Macao.
 
 In 2004, Nam Tai’s operations were re-organized intoThe Company operates primarily in three reportable segments consisting of consumer electronics and communication products (“CECP”), telecommunication components assembly (“TCA”) and LCD panelsproducts (“LCDP”). In 2003, CECP and TCA were classified as a single reportable segment as consumer electronic products (“CEP”) while LCDP also comprised the transformers operations and collectively referred to as LCD panels and transformers (“LPT”). Through the disposal of a subsidiary in 2003, the Company discontinued its transformers operations, details of which are set out in note 3(b)(iii).
 
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 (a) Principles of consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates companies in which it has controlling interest of over 50%. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and cash flows have been eliminated on consolidation.
 
  The equity method of accounting is used when the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee, which is normally indicated by a 20% to 50% interest in other entities. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of these entities and distributions received, if any.
 
 (b)Non-marketable investments in which the Company has less than 20% interest and in which does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee are initially recorded at cost and periodically reviewed for impairment.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and certificates of deposit having a maturity date of three months or less upon acquisition.

F-8F - 8


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 (c) Marketable securities
 
  Marketable securities at December 31, 2004 are principally equity securities and are classified as available-for-sale. Securities classified as available-for-sale are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on the sale of the available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method and are reflected in other income (expenses).
 
 (d) Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Write down of potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory are recorded based on management’s analysis of inventory levels.
 
  For the Company’s CECP and TCA reporting units, the Company orders inventory from its suppliers based on firm customer orders for productproducts that isare unique to each customer. The inventory is utilized in production as soon as all the necessary components are received. The only reason that inventory would not be utilized within six months is if a specific customer deferred or cancelled an order. As the inventory is typically unique to each customer’s products, it is unusual for the Company to be able to utilize the inventory for other customers’ products. Therefore, the Company’s policy is to negotiate with the customer for the disposal of such inventory that remainedremains unused for six months. The Company does not generally write down its inventories as usually, the customers are held to their purchase commitments. However, there are cases where customers are contractually obligated to purchase the unused inventory from the Company, but the Company may elect not to immediately enforce such contractual right for business reasons. In this connection, the Company will consider writing down these inventory items which remained unused for over six months at the Company’s own cost. Prior to writing down, management would determine if the inventory can be utilized in other products.
 
  For the Company’s LCDP segment, due to the nature of the business, LCDP customers do not always place orders advance enough to enable the Company to order inventory from suppliers based on firm customer orders. Nonetheless, management reviews its inventory balance on a regular basis and writes down all inventory over six months old if it is determined that the relevant inventory can not be utilized in the foreseeable future.
 
 (e) Property, plant and equipment and land use right
 
  Property, plant and equipment and land use right are recorded at cost and include interest on funds borrowed to finance construction.construction, if applicable. No interest was capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2002, 20032004, 2005 and 2004.2006. The cost of major improvements and betterments is capitalized whereas the cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed in the year incurred. Assets under construction are not depreciated until construction is completed and the assets are ready for their intended use. Gains and losses for the disposal of leasehold land are included in other income (expenses) while gains and losses from the disposal of other property, plant and equipment and land use right are included in income from operations.income.
 
  The majority of the land in Hong Kong is owned by the government of Hong Kong which leases the land at public auction to non-governmental entities. All of the Company’s leasehold land in Hong Kong have leases of not more than 50 years from the respective balance sheet dates. The cost of such leasehold land is amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective terms of the leases.
 
  All land in other regions of the PRC is owned by the PRC government. The government in the PRC, according to PRC law, may sell the right to use the land for a specified period of time. Thus, all of the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leasehold land and classified as land use right. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective term of the right to use the land.
 
  Depreciation rates computed using the straight-line method are as follows:
   
Classification Years
 
Land use right leasehold50 years
Leasehold land and buildings 20 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment 4 to 12 years
Leasehold improvements 3 to 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 4 to 8 years
Automobiles 4 to 6 years
Tools and molds 4 to 6 years

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 (f) Goodwill and licensesintangible assets
 
  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over various periods ranging from 4 years to 15 years. Costs incurred in the acquisition of licenses are capitalized and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license period or 5 to 7 years.
 
  With effect from January 1, 2002, the Group adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under this statement goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives willis not be amortized, but will beis tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on at least an annual basis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (i.e. a component) as defined in SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit ifbasis at the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Through May 2002, the Company operated in two reporting units, which were its then operating segments of CEP and LPT. Beginning in June 2002, the Company segregated its then LPT segment into two reporting units: LCD panels and transformers. In June 2003, the Company disposed of its transformers operation through the disposal of a subsidiary, details of which are set out in note 3(b)(iii). Effective April 2004, thebalance sheet date. The Company operated in three reporting units, which were its reportable segments of CECP, TCA and LCDP.
 
  The evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves two steps: (1) the identification of potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill and (2) the measurement of the amount of goodwill loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill and recognizing a loss by the excess of the latter over the former. For futureassessment of impairment tests,loss, the Company will measure fair value based either on internal models or independent valuations. No impairment loss of goodwill was identified in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
 
 Costs incurred in the acquisition of licenses are classified as intangible assets. They are capitalized and amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license period or 5 to 7 years.
(g) Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets
 
  The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. Long-lived assets are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company reviews its long-lived assets for potential impairment based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. Measurement of impairment losses for long-lived assets that the Company expects to hold and use is based on the estimated fair value of the assets.
 
  Long-lived assets to be disposed of are stated at the lower of fair value or carrying amount. Expected future operating losses from discontinued operations are recorded in the periods in which the losses are incurred.
 
 (h) Revenue recognition
 
  The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are met:

  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
 
  Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
 
  Price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and
 
  Collectibility is reasonably assured.

  Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon shipment and when collectibility is assured. The Company does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality), price protection, rebates or discounts. There are no customer acceptance provisions associated with the Company’s products, except for quality. All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

  PRC tax paid by subsidiaries operating in the PRC during the year is recorded as an amount recoverable at the balance sheet date when management has filed or has the definite intention to file an application for reinvestment of profits and a refund is expected unless there is an indication from the PRC tax authority that the refund, or a portion of which, will be refused.
 
  Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for all significant temporary differences and classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the related asset or liability in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all, the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
 (n) Foreign currency transactions and translations
 
  All transactions in currencies other than functional currencies during the year are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the respective transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities existing at the balance sheet date denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates existing on that date. Exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
 
  The functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries include the U.S. dollar or the Hong Kong dollar or the Chinese Renminbi.dollar. The financial statements of all subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the reporting currency, are translated in accordance with SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”.

 (o) Earnings per share
 
 On June 20, 2003, the Company’s board of directors declared a 1 for 3 stock split of its outstanding common shares. Each shareholder of record on June 30, 2003 received two additional shares for each common share held at that date. In addition, the Company retained the current par value of $0.01 per share. Accordingly, all references to numbers of common shares, per share data and stock option data in the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
On October 24, 2003, the Company’s board of directors declared an issuance of stock dividend to shareholders at the ratio of one dividend share for every ten shares held by the shareholders of record on November 7, 2003. For the purposes of earnings per share calculation, all references to numbers of common shares and per share data have been restated to reflect this stock dividend.
  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.
 
  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common sharesshare that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.
 
 (p) Stock options
 
  The Company doeshas a stock-based employee compensation plan, as more fully described in note 12(b). Prior to year 2006, the Company did not recognize compensation expense for employee stock-based compensation if the strike-price is equal to or greater than the market price of the stock at the date of grant. The Company’s policy is to generally grant stock-based compensation to employees with a stock price equal to the market price of the stock on the date of grant. ThePrior to 2006, the Company continues to accountaccounted for stock-based compensation arrangements under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”and providesprovided additional financial statement disclosure in accordance with SFAS No. 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"Compensation”. TheHowever, the Company recognizeswould recognize compensation expense for all stock-based compensation granted to non-employees by estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. See note 11.12.
 
 The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans, as more fully described in note 11(b). Stock-based employee compensation costs are not reflected in net income when options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

(q)Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(r)Comprehensive income
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents unrealized gains on marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments and is included in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.
(s)Fair value disclosures
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, income taxes recoverable, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of long term debt also approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest calculations.
(t)Recent changes in accounting standards
In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus in EITF 03-1,(The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The consensus was that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures should be required for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS Nos. 115 and 124, that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. This EITF consensus is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. Adoption of the EITF consensus did not result in an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,“Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.”SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting that requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs, and spoilage costs to be recognized as current-period charges. It also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for inventory costs incurred on or after July 1, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R,“Share-Based Payment”.123R”) in 2006. This statement is a revision to SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. Entities will beare required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service, the requisite service period (usually the vesting period), in exchange for the award. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments willare to be estimated using option-pricing models. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. In accordance with the standard, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective July 1, 2005.
 
  Upon adoption, the Company has two application methods to choose from:applied the modified-prospective transition approach or the modified-retrospective transition approach. Under the modified-prospective transition method the Company would be required to recognize compensation cost for share-based awards to employees based on their grant-date fair value from the beginning of the fiscal period in which the recognition provisions are first applied as well as compensation cost for awards that were granted prior to, but not vested as of the date of adoption. Prior periods remain unchanged and pro forma disclosures previously required by SFAS No. 123 continue to be required. Under the modified-retrospective transition method, the Company would restate prior periods by recognizing compensation cost in the amounts previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosure under SFAS No. 123. Under this method, the Company is permitted to apply this presentation to all periods presented or to the start of the fiscal year in which SFAS No. 123R is adopted. The Company would follow the same guidelines as in the modified-prospective transition method for awards granted subsequent to adoption and those that were granted and not yet vested. The Company has not yet determined which methodology it will adopt but believes that the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have on its financial position or results of operations will approximate the magnitude of the stock-based employee compensation cost disclosed in Note 2 (p) pursuant to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148.

(b)Significant transactions

(i)  In March 2000, NTTC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, together with Toshiba Battery Co., Ltd. (“TBCL”), established BPC, a wholly foreign owned enterprise in Shenzhen, PRC. NTTC had a 86.67% interest in BPC and the investment cost of $1,300 was contributed in cash. BPC was located within the Company’s manufacturing complex where it produced and sold high-end, environmentally friendly, rechargeable lithium ion battery packs. Effective April 30, 2002, the Company sold its 86.67% joint venture interest in BPC to a TBCL related company for $2,131 resulting in a gain of $17. During the period from January 1, 2002 through April 30, 2002, the Company recognized net sales of $7,849 from TBCL and its related companies.
(ii)  In June 2002, through a reverse merger, the Company arranged for the listing of JIC Group (B.V.I.) Limited and its subsidiaries (the “JIC Group”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”). To effect the listing, the Company entered an agreement with the liquidators of Albatronics (Far East) Company Limited (“Albatronics”), whose shares had been listed on the SEHK and which was placed into voluntary liquidation in August 1999. The Company owned slightly more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of Albatronics. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to transfer the JIC Group into JIC Technology, a new company, for a controlling interest in JIC Technology. Prior to it being placed into voluntary liquidation, Albatronics and its subsidiaries were engaged in the trading of electronic components and manufacturing of consumer electronics products. Due to the troubled financial condition of Albatronics at December 31, 1998, it was probable that the Company would never be in a position to exercise control over Albatronics as such control would rest with the creditors of Albatronics. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate Albatronics’ financial statements at December 31, 1998, for the year then ended or for any subsequent period. As of December 31, 1999 the investment was written off. On February 1, 2000, the Company received an invitation soliciting offers for the rescue or restructuring of Albatronics from Albatronics’ liquidators. In June 2002, Albatronics’ listing status on the SEHK was withdrawn and JIC Technology was listed on the SEHK free from the liabilities of Albatronics. For the Company’s contribution to JIC Technology, the Company received a combination of ordinary and preference shares, which are analogous to common stock and convertible preferred stock, respectively, of companies organized under U.S. law. The Company, the creditors of Albatronics and the Hong Kong public who held shares of Albatronics received ordinary shares of JIC Technology equal to approximately 70.4%, 24.1% and 5.5%, respectively, of the outstanding ordinary shares of JIC Technology. The Company also received preference shares of JIC Technology, which upon their full conversion, would result in the Company, the creditors and the Hong Kong public owning approximately 92.9%, 5.8% and 1.3%, respectively, of the outstanding ordinary shares of JIC Technology. On June 4, 2002, the reverse merger was completed and all the shares of Albatronics were transferred to the liquidators for a nominal consideration. The then preference shares were non-redeemable, non-voting shares that ranked pari passu with ordinary shares of JIC Technology on the payment of dividends or other distribution other than on a winding-up. No holder of preference shares (including the Company) may convert them if such conversion would result in the minimum public float of 25% that is required under the Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing rules not being met.estimates

(t)Recent changes in accounting standards
In September 2005, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) reached a final consensus on Issue 04-13,“Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty". EITF 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty be combined and considered a single arrangement for purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 29,“Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions", when the transactions are entered into in contemplation of one another. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into, or modifications or renewals of existing arrangements, in interim or annual periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The effect of the adoption of EITF 04-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, , “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. “This statement is effective interestfor all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes". It is an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is evaluating the effect of the goodwill that had previously been recorded upon purchasing the JIC Group in October 2000. The release of unamortized goodwill is included as partadoption of the lossFIN 48. It is not expected to have a material impact on reverse mergerthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.157, “Fair Value Measurement”. SFAS No. 157 addresses standardizing the measurement of fair value for companies who are required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes. The FASB defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of the JIC Groupadoption of $2,655.SFAS No.157. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

  (ii)- continuedIn September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The effect of the adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

 (b)During the period from June to November 2003, the Company disposed of totally 42,600,000 ordinary shares of JIC Technology for cash considerations of $4,005. The disposal resulted in a net gain on partial disposal of a subsidiary of $1,838 after deducting the releasing of unamortized goodwill of $1,171. In November 2003, the Company converted 175,100,000 preference shares into 170,000,000 ordinary shares of JIC Technology. As at December 31, 2003, the Company held 263,900,688 ordinary shares of JIC Technology, equivalent to 74.86% of issued ordinary shares, and 423,320,000 preference shares.

(i) In November and December 2004, the Company disposed of totallya total of 128,000,000 ordinary shares of JIC Technology for cash considerations of $12,902. The disposal resulted in a net gain on partial disposal of a subsidiary of $6,249 after deducting the releasing of unamortized goodwill of $3,518. The Company also converted all outstanding preference shares into 313,902,912410,990,290 ordinary shares of JIC Technology resulting in 71.63% equity interest held in JIC Technology as of December 31, 2004.

Sales$2,120 resulting in 74.94% equity interest held in JIC Technology as of the transformers reporting unit for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 were $11,324 and $6,284, respectively, and were insignificant comparing to the sales of the Company as a whole. The income from operations of the transformers reporting unit was less than 3% and 1% of the Company’s income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The transformers reporting unit had no non-operating income or expenses for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003.2006.
 
 The proceeds from the disposal exceeded the carrying value of the net assets of the transformers reporting unit, resulting in a gain from discontinued operation, net of minority interests, in 2003 of $1,979.

(collectively “TCL Mobile”) through the acquisition of 25% of the outstanding shares of Mate Fair, a privately held investment holding company incorporated in the BVI with a 20% shareholding interest in TCL Mobile. TCL Mobile is engaged in manufacturing, distributing and trading of digital mobile phones and accessories in the PRC as well as overseas markets. The acquisition in Mate Fair was satisfied by cash consideration of approximately $2,036. The 25% share of the net book value of Mate Fair on that date was approximately $511. Goodwill of approximately $1,525 was recorded by the Company and was initially being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years starting in September 2000.$26,700.

As a result of the dilution, the Company recognized the release of unamortized goodwill of approximately $132 and the share of Mate Fair’s loss on deemed disposal of Huizhou TCL of approximately $336 as part of the equity in income of affiliated companies. Mate Fair ceased the equity method of accounting for Huizhou TCL since it no longer held at least a 20% interest in Huizhou TCL.

The acquisition was satisfied by the exchange of the Company’s 72.2% equity interest in Mate Fair, cash of $25,000, and 1,416,764 new shares in the Company upon a pricing adjustment in July 2004 resulting in the cancellation of 973,210 shares of the Company previously issued as part of the purchase consideration.

11.Bank Loans and Banking Facilities
The Company has credit facilities with various banks representing notes payable, trade acceptances, import facilities, revolving loans and overdrafts. At December 31, 2005 and 2006, these facilities totaled $117,345 and $36,161, of which $110,246 and $31,645 were unused at December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The maturity of these facilities is generally up to 120 days. Interest rates are generally based on the banks’ usual lending rates in Hong Kong or the PRC and the credit lines are normally subject to annual review. The banking facilities are secured by guarantees given by Nam Tai and certain subsidiaries.
The notes payable, which include trust receipts and shipping guarantees, may not agree to utilized banking facilities due to a timing difference between the Company receiving the goods and the bank issuing the trust receipt to cover financing of the purchase. The Company recognizes the outstanding letter of credit as a note payable when the goods are received, even though the bank may not have issued the trust receipt. However, this will not affect the total bank facility utilization, as an addition to the trust receipts will be offset by a reduction in the same amount of outstanding letters of credit.

 (b) Stock options — continuedUnder the current BVI law, the Company’s income is not subject to taxation. Subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong and the PRC are subject to income taxes as described below, and the subsidiaries operating in Macao are exempted from income taxes. Under the current Cayman Islands law, ZPTL, NTEEP and JIC Technology are not subject to profit tax in the Cayman Islands as they have no business operations in the Cayman Islands. However, they may be subject to Hong Kong income taxes as described below if they are registered in Hong Kong.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the stock options outstanding at December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004 was 22, 23 and 18 months, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2002, 2003 and 2004 was $1.66, $7.76 and $6.94, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

Expected dividend per quarter $0.04  $0.05  $0.12 

 (c) Public warrantsThe provision for current income taxes of the subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong has been calculated by applying the current rate of taxation of 17.5% to the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the period, if applicable.

On October 10, 1997, the Company distributed to each holder of its common shares nontransferable rights (the “Rights”) to subscribe for one unit for every three common shares owned at that date (referred to as the “Rights Offering”). The subscription price was $5.67 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one redeemable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of $6.80 per share at any time from the date of their issuance until November 24, 2000. The common shares and the warrants included in the units will be separately transferable immediately on issuance of the common shares. The warrants are redeemable by the Company at any time at $0.02 per warrant if the average closing sale price of the common shares for 20 consecutive trading days within the 30-day period preceding the date the notice is given equals or exceeds $8.50 per share. The terms of the Rights Offering include an over subscription privilege available to shareholders subject to certain conditions and a Standby Purchase Commitment made by the Standby Underwriters to the Rights Offering, subject to the terms and conditions of a Standby Underwriting Agreement made between the Company and the Standby Underwriters, and which includes purchase by the Standby Underwriters of units not subscribed for by shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, 9,000,000 units were offered with a subscription expiry date of November 24, 1997.

During the period of the Rights Offering, shareholders of the Company exercised Rights to purchase a total of 6,803,751 units at $5.67 per unit and the Standby Underwriters purchased a total of 2,187,636 units at a price of $5.58, being the lower of the subscription price per unit and the closing bid price per common share as reported on the Nasdaq on the subscription expiry date, as provided for under the Standby Underwriting Agreement. The gross proceeds raised amounted to $50,769 and the net proceeds raised after deduction of expenses associated with the Rights Offering amounted to $47,700.

On April 1, 2000, the Company amended the terms of the warrant by extending the expiry date of the warrants from November 24, 2000 to November 24, 2002. The extending of the expiry date of the warrants created a new measurement date for the warrants, however, the resulting amount was immaterial. During 2002, 4,381,965 warrants were exercised. On November 24, 2002, all of the remaining warrants expired.

 (d) Advisors’ warrantsDeferred tax, where applicable, is provided under the liability method at the rate of 17.5%, being the effective Hong Kong statutory income tax rate applicable to the ensuing financial year, on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of measuring assets and liabilities.

On December 2, 1997, the Company issued 390,000 units to its advisors and 30,000 remained outstanding in 2002. These advisors’ warrants expired on November 24, 2002.

The 174,090 warrants issued pursuant to the exercise of advisors’ warrants bear the same rights as public warrants.

 (e) Share buy — back programThe basic corporate tax rate for Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) in the PRC, such as Namtai Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“NTSZ”), Zastron Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Zastron”), Shenzhen Namtek Co., Ltd (“Shenzhen Namtek”) and Jetup (collectively the “Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries”) is currently 33% (30% state tax and 3% local tax). However, because all the above PRC subsidiaries are located in Shenzhen and are involved in production operations, they qualify for a special reduced state tax rate of 15%. In addition, the local tax authorities in Shenzhen are not currently assessing any local tax. In 2006, two new FIEs, namely Zastron Precision-Tech (Wuxi) Co. Ltd. and Zastron Precision-Flex (Wuxi) Co. Ltd., were established. They are located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, the PRC and will involve in production operations in year 2008 or after. They are also qualified for tax incentive as the subsidiaries in Shenzhen.

The Company repurchased shares under its buy-back program as follows. All shares were purchased at the prevailing market price at the date of the buy back and were settled out of the Company’s retained earnings.

         
Year Shares repurchased  Average purchase price

 (f) Share redemptionsSince the Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries have agreed to operate for a minimum of 10 years in the PRC, a two-year tax holiday from the first profit making year is available, following which in the third through fifth years there is a 50% reduction to 7.5%. In any event, for FIEs such as NTSZ, Zastron and Shenzhen Namtek which export 70% or more of the production value of their products, a reduction in the tax rate is available; in all cases apart from the years in which a tax holiday and tax incentive is available, there is an overall minimum tax rate of 10%. The following details the tax concessions received for the Company’s Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries:

On January 22, 1999, pursuant to its Articles of Association, the Company redeemed and canceled 415,500 shares of the Company registered in the name of Tele-Art at a price of $3.73 per share for $1,549 (see note 18(b)).

14. Staff Retirement Plans

The Company operates a Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) scheme for all qualifying employees in Hong Kong and a retirement benefit scheme (“RBS”) for all qualifying employees in Macao. The MPF and RBS are defined contribution schemes and the assets of the schemes are managed by the trustees independent to the Company.

Both the MPF and RBS are available to all employees aged 18 to 64 and with at least 60 days of service under the employment of the Company in Hong Kong and Macao. Contributions are made by the Company at 5% based on the staff’s relevant income. The maximum relevant income for contribution purpose per employee is $3 per month. Staff members are entitled to 100% of the Company’s contributions together with accrued returns irrespective of their length of service with the Company, but the benefits are required by law to be preserved until the retirement age of 65 for employees in Hong Kong while the benefit can be withdrawn by the employees in Macao at the end of employment contracts.

According to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company is required to contribute 8% to 9% of the stipulated salary set by the local government of Shenzhen, the PRC, to the retirement benefit schemes to fund the retirement benefits of their employees. The principal obligation of the Company with respect to these retirement benefit schemes is to make the required contributions under the scheme. No forfeited contributions may be used by the employer to reduce the existing level of contributions.

The cost of the Company’s contribution to the staff retirement plans in Hong Kong, Macao and PRC amounted to $617, $982 and $1,190 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

15. Income Taxes

The components of income before income taxes and minority interest are as follows:

             
Year ended December 31, 2002  2003  2004 
PRC, excluding Hong Kong and Macao $18,823  $39,778  $37,546 
Hong Kong, Macao and other jurisdictions  (8,604)  3,013   43,034 
   
  $10,219  $42,791  $80,580 
   

Under the current BVI law, the Company’s income is not subject to taxation. Subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong and the PRC are subject to income taxes as described below, and the subsidiary operating in Macao is exempted from income taxes. Under the current Cayman Islands law, ZPTL, NTEEP, JIC Technology and Namtek Software are not subject to profit tax in the Cayman Islands as they have no business operations in the Cayman Islands. However, they may be subject to Hong Kong income taxes as described below if they are registered in Hong Kong

The provision for current income taxes of the subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong has been calculated by applying the current rate of taxation of 16% for 2002 and 17.5% for 2003 and 2004 to the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the period, if applicable.

Deferred tax, where applicable, is provided under the liability method at the rate of 16% for 2002 and 17.5% for 2003, and 2004, being the effective Hong Kong statutory income tax rate applicable to the ensuing financial year, on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of measuring assets and liabilities.

The basic corporate tax rate for Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) in the PRC, such as Namtai Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“NTSZ”), Zastron Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Zastron”), Shenzhen Namtek Company Limited (“Shenzhen Namtek”) and Jetup (collectively the “PRC subsidiaries”) is currently 33% (30% state tax and 3% local tax). However, because all the PRC subsidiaries are located in Shenzhen and are involved in production operations, they qualify for a special reduced state tax rate of 15%. In addition, the local tax authorities in Shenzhen are not currently assessing any local tax.

15. Income Taxes — continued

Since the PRC subsidiaries have agreed to operate for a minimum of 10 years in the PRC, a two-year tax holiday from the first profit making year is available, following which in the third through fifth years there is a 50% reduction to 7.5%. In any event, for FIEs such as NTSZ, Zastron and Namtek which export 70% or more of the production value of their products, a reduction in the tax rate is available; in all cases apart from the years in which a tax holiday and tax incentive is available, there is an overall minimum tax rate of 10%. The following details the tax concessions received for the Company’s PRC subsidiaries:

 On January 8, 1999, NTSZ received the recognition of “High and New Technology Enterprise” which entitles it to various tax benefits including a lower income tax rate of 7.5% until 2003. In July 2002, the Shenzhen local tax authority issued a notice to shorten the tax incentive period from 5 years to 3 years expiring in 2001. Nevertheless NTSZ was advised by the Shenzhen local tax authority that it would continue to provide a rebate of corporate tax paid for 2 years for 2002 and 2003. During 2003, NTSZ received $110 rebate of corporate tax paid for 2002, a tax refund of $122 from reinvestment of profits for 1999 to 2001 and a refund of $441 for being an export-oriented enterprise in 2002. In 2004, NTSZ received a tax refund of $821 from reinvestment of profits for 20022004 and a refund of $399 for being an export-oriented enterprise in 2003. In 2005, NTSZ received a tax refund of $1,815 from reinvestment of profit for 2003. Besides, NTSZ further paid $738 and subsequently received a tax refund of $1,726 from reinvestment of profit for year 2004 and a refund of $971 for being an export-oriented enterprise. In 2006, NTSZ paid $1,566 and received a tax refund of $746 for being an export-oriented enterprises for the year 2005.
 
 In 2003 Zastron received a refund of $56 from reinvestment of profits for 1999 and a refund of $124 for being an export-oriented enterprise in 2002. On May 13, 2004,2005, Zastron received the recognition of “High and New Technology Enterprise” and was entitled to enjoy a reduced corporate tax rate of 7.5% for three years commencing 2004.2005. In 2004, Zastron also received a refund of $243 from reinvestment of profits for 1999 to 20022003 and a refund of $793 for being an export-oriented enterprise in 2003. In 2005, Zastron received a refund of $1,398 from reinvestment of profit for year 2000 to 2003. Besides, Zastron further paid $170 and subsequently received a tax refund of $874 from reinvestment of profit for year 2004. In year 2006, Zastron has applied and is waiting for tax refund for year 2005.
 
 For the years ended December 31, 2002, the income tax of Jieda Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Jieda”), a then wholly owned subsidiary of JIC Technology, was payable at the rate of 15% on the assessable profit. During 2003, Jieda merged with Jetup.
 •  In February 2001, Shenzhen Namtek received the recognition of “Advanced Technology Enterprise” which entitles it to various tax benefits including a lower income tax rate of 7.5% until 2003. In 2003, Shenzhen Namtek received a refund of $27 from the reinvestment of profits for 1998 to 2000. In 2004, 2005 and 2006, Shenzhen Namtek is entitled to a 5% tax refund for being an export-oriented enterprise in 2005.

15.Income Taxes — continued
The Shenzhen local tax authority has granted Jetup the status of “High and New Technology Enterprise” and allowed it to enjoy a lower income tax rate of 7.5% for 3 years from 2002 to 2004. During 2005, Jetup received a refund of $233 and $346 from reinvestment of profit for 2003 and 2004, respectively. In 2006, Jetup received a tax refund of $211 for being an export-oriented enterprises for the year 2005.
A FIE whose foreign investor directly reinvests by way of capital injection its share of profits obtained from that FIE or another FIE owned by the same foreign investor in establishing or expanding an export-oriented or technologically advanced enterprise in the PRC for a minimum period of five years may obtain a refund of the taxes already paid on those profits. The NTSZ, Zastron and Jetup qualified for such refunds of taxes as a result of reinvesting their profit earned in previous years by their respective holding companies. As a result, the Company recorded tax expense net of the benefit related to the refunds. At December 31, 2005 and 2006, taxes recoverable under such arrangements were $2,624 and $4,104, respectively, which are included in income taxes recoverable and expected to be received during 2006 and 2007, respectively.
 
 In accordance with its normal practice, the Hong Kong tax authorities selected the Company and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries for a tax audit. In March 2003, in relation to fiscal year 1996, the Hong Kong tax authorities have made certain estimated assessments for public revenue protection purposes to prevent the assessments, if any, from becoming time barred. The Hong Kong tax authorities have not provided concrete grounds for the assessments. The Company and the subsidiary concerned have objected to these estimated assessments. The outcome of the objection is uncertain at this stage as the Hong Kong tax authorities are still reviewing the Company’s and its subsidiary’s Hong Kong tax position. At the time, it is not possible to estimate the outcome of the tax audit, the amount that may have to be paid, if any, or the impact that the results of the 1996 tax audit will have to subsequent tax years. However, management is of the view that there will be no material tax adjustment as a result of the tax audit. In March 2004, this wholly owned subsidiary received a tax demand note from the Hong Kong tax authorities for additional tax assessment of US$567 for the fiscal year 1997 and such tax payable can be held over on condition that a tax reserve certificate is purchased. The subsidiary requested for an unconditional hold-over of such assessment without purchasing tax reserve certificate but was denied by the Hong Kong tax authorities. In June 2004, this subsidiary applied to the High Court of Hong Kong for a judicial review in relation to the purchase of the tax reserve certificate. The judgment was delivered on December 7, 2005 dismissing the Company’s application. The Company had filed an appeal on January 10, 2006 but the Court of Appeal disallowed the appeal on July 25, 2006. The Company then pursued the matter further before the Court of Final Appeal but the Court of Appeal adjourned the application. The adjourned hearing has now been fixed to be heard on May 23, 2007. Management is of the view that they will obtain favorable judgment and hence, no material tax adjustment is expected.
 The Shenzhen localcurrent and deferred components of the income tax authorityexpense appearing in the consolidated statements of income are as follows:
             
Year ended December 31, 2004  2005  2006 
Current tax $(957) $(651) $(377)
Deferred tax  78       
   
  $(879) $(651) $(377)
   
The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 are attributable to the following:
         
December 31, 2005  2006 
Net operating losses $8,914  $9,410 
Valuation allowance  (8,914)  (9,410)
   
  $  $ 
   
The realization of the recorded deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards. As the management does not believe that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized, a full valuation allowance has granted Jetupbeen established at December 31, 2005 and 2006.

16.Related Party Balance and Transactions
For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005, the Company recognized net sales of $34,181 and $6,195 and purchased raw materials of $12,398 and $5,766 from JCT and its related companies, respectively. There were no sales to or purchases from JCT and its related companies in the year ended December 31, 2006.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company disposed of certain other assets to a director of the Company at a consideration of $231, which represented the then carrying value of the assets. No significant gain or loss arose from such transaction.

F-26


17.Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are high-quality deposits placed with banking institutions with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits the Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk.
The trade receivable balances largely represent amounts due from the Company’s principal customers who are generally international organizations with high credit ratings. Letters of credit are the principal security obtained to support lines of credit or negotiated contracts from a customer. As a consequence, concentrations of credit risk are limited. Allowance for 3doubtful debts was $494 and $152 as of December 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. There were no other movements in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company’s financial instruments reported in current assets or current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments. The Company’s financial instruments reported as non-current liabilities, such as its long term bank loans, approximate their fair values due to the variable nature of the interest calculations.
18.Commitments and Contingencies
(a)Lease commitments
The Company leases premises under various operating leases, certain of which contain contingent escalation clauses whereby the percentage increase is subject to periodic review and agreement between the Company and the lessor. Rental expense under operating leases was $975, $1,546 and $1,855 in the years ended December 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
At December 31, 2006, the Company was obligated under operating leases, which relate to land and buildings, requiring minimum rentals as follows:
     
Year ending December 31,    
- 2007 $1,665 
- 2008  1,522 
- 2009  1,288 
- 2010  1,331 
- 2011  1,415 
- 2012 and thereafter  589 
    
  $7,810 
    
(b)Significant legal proceedings
Tele-Art
In June 1997, the Company filed a petition in BVI for the winding up of Tele-Art on account of an unpaid judgment debt owing to the Company. The High Court of Justice granted an order to wind up Tele-Art in July 1998. Tele-Art appealed to the Court of Appeal against the winding up order. This appeal was heard on January 13, 1999 by the Court of Appeal and was dismissed on January 25, 1999. On January 22, 1999, pursuant to its Articles of Association, the Company redeemed and cancelled 415,500 shares * of the Company registered in the name of Tele-Art at a price of $3.73 per share to offset substantially all of the judgment debt of $799, plus interest and legal costs totaling $1,673. The Company had also previously withheld dividends on shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art which were applied towards the partial satisfaction of the said judgment debts costs and interest.

Tele-Art— continued
In September 1999, the High Court heard the application by the Company dated March 22, 1994 for an inquiry into damage suffered by the Company (the “First Inquiry”) as a result of the ex-part injunction granted to Tele-Art against the Company on September 29, 1993 which prohibited the Company from proceeding with a rights offering in September 1993.
Following the completion of the first redemption on January 22, 1999, the Company received notice that David Hague, the then liquidator of Tele-Art, had obtained an ex-parte injunction from the High Court preventing the Company from redeeming the Company 415,500 shares *.
On July 5, 2002, upon the Company’s application, the High Court ordered the removal of the David Hague’s ex-parte injunction and ordered an inquiry into damages suffered by the Company as a result of the injunction (the “Second Inquiry”).
On August 9, 2002, the High Court delivered its decision on the First Inquiry and awarded the Company damages of approximately $34,000. On August 12, 2002, the Company redeemed and cancelled, pursuant to 2004. During 2003, Jetup receivedits Articles of Association, the remaining 509,181 shares ** beneficially owned by Tele-Art at a refundprice of $175 from reinvestment$6.14 per share. Including the dividends which we had withheld and credited against the judgment, this offset a further $3,519 in judgment debts owed to the Company by Tele-Art. The Company recorded the $3,333 redemption, net of profit forexpenses, as other income in 2002.

(“Jieyao”), a then wholly owned subsidiarythe Second Inquiry on March 28, 2003, the Company filed its points of JIC Technology was payable atclaim on April 3, 2003 and subsequently filed amended points of claim on April 16, 2003. In breach of the ratecourt’s directions, David Hague failed to file his points of 7.5%defense on June 20, 2003 as ordered but instead he filed an application in the High Court, inter alia, to strike out the Company’s points of claim and for summary judgment on the assessable profitinquiry into damages on June 20, 2003. The Company thereupon applied to the High Court on August 19, 2003 for judgment against David Hague in default of defense on the basis that David Hague had not complied with the directions of the court for the years ended December 31, 2002filing of his points of defense to 2003. During 2003, Jieyao was disposedthe Company’s points of to a third party (see note 3(b)(iii)).claim.
 
  ForBoth applications were heard by the years endedHigh Court on May 12, 2004. At the hearing, the court allowed David Hague to file his points of defense on May 12, 2004. The Company filed an application for leave to appeal against this ruling on May 24, 2004. The High Court dismissed David Hague’s strike out application on December 31, 2002, BPC qualified14, 2004 and David Hague applied for leave to appeal against the order dismissing his application on December 28, 2004. The Company’s appeal and David Hague’s appeal were heard by the Court of Appeal from September 19 to 21, 2005 and the court delivered its judgment on January 16, 2006. In this judgment, the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court’ s ruling on David Hague’s application and struck out the Company’s points of claim on the inquiry into damages on the ground that the Company had no realistic process of succeeding on same. The court also ordered costs against the Company to be assessed on a tax holiday. During 2002, BPCprescribed costs basis. The court further expressed the view that, in light of its dismissal of the Company’s points of claim, it was disposednot necessary to rule on the Company’s appeal against the dismissal of its application for judgment in default since the point was now academic with the dismissal of the Company’s points of claim.
The Company filed an application for leave to TBCL (see note 3(b)(i)).appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal to the Privy Council, the final appellate court in the BVI, on February 3, 2006. The application for leave to appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal on May 8, 2006. The Court delivered its judgment on May 9, 2006 dismissing Nam Tai’s application for leave on the ground that the matter was not one of great public importance and therefore did not merit the consideration of the Privy Council. Nam Tai was ordered to pay Mr. Hague’s costs of the application, such costs were to be assessed in default of an agreement.
Nam Tai being dissatisfied with the judgment of the Court of Appeal denying them leave to apply appeal directly to the Privy Council on November 3, 2006 for special leave to appeal to the Privy Council. This application has been set down for hearing in the Privy Council in London on March 29, 2007.

A FIE whose foreign investor directly reinvests by way of capital injection its share of profits obtained from that FIE or another FIE owned by the same foreign investor in establishing or expanding an export-oriented or technologically advanced enterprise in the PRC for a minimum period of five years may obtain a refund of the taxes already paid on those profits. The PRC subsidiaries qualified for such refunds of taxes as a result of reinvesting their profit earned in previous years by their respective holding companies. As a result, the Company recorded tax expense net of the benefit related to the refunds. At December 31, 2003 and 2004, taxes recoverable under such arrangements were $4,889 and $6,520, respectively, which are included in income taxes recoverable and expected to be received during 2004 and 2005, respectively. However, during 2003 the Shenzhen government did not refund approximately $13 in taxes the Company paid in 1998 to 2000. Therefore, the Company reversed the related receivable into current tax expense in 2003.

In accordance with its normal practice, the Hong Kong tax authorities selected the Company and one of its wholly owned subsidiaries for a tax audit. In March 2003, in relation to fiscal year 1996, the Hong Kong tax authorities have made certain estimated assessments for public revenue protection purposes to prevent the assessments, if any, from becoming time barred. The Hong Kong tax authorities have not provided concrete grounds for the assessments. The Company and the subsidiary concerned have objected to these estimated assessments.

16. Related Party Balance and Transactions

For the period from January 1, 2002 though April 2002, the Company recognized net sales of $7,849 and purchased raw materials of $7,751 from TBCL, a minority shareholder of BPC, and its related companies. In addition, the Company had paid $1,000 to TBCL for acquisition of a license during the year ended December 31, 1999, which was disposed of during 2002 for a consideration of $800 together with the disposal of interest in BPC, plus the foreign exchange gain of $9, resulting in a gain of $60.

As of December 31, 2003 and 2004, the balance due from a related party represented the balance due from JCT, a subsidiary of Alpha Star. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company recognized net sales of $20,782 and $34,181 and purchased raw materials of $5,456 and $12,398 from JCT and its related companies, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company disposed of certain other assets to a director of the Company at a consideration of $231, which represented the then carrying value of the assets. No significant gain or loss arose from such transaction.

17. Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash equivalents and trade receivables.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are high-quality deposits placed with banking institutions with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits the Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk.

The trade receivable balances largely represent amounts due from the Company’s principal customers who are generally international organizations with high credit ratings. Letters of credit are the principal security obtained to support lines of credit or negotiated contracts from a customer. As a consequence, concentrations of credit risk are limited. Allowance for doubtful debts was $119 and $157 in 2003 and 2004, respectively. There were no other movements in the provision for doubtful accounts.

The Company’s financial instruments reported in current assets or current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s financial instruments reported as non-current liabilities, such as its long term debt, approximate their fair value due to the variable nature of the interest calculations.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

 (a)(b)Lease commitmentsSignificant legal proceedings— continued

 (b)Significant legal proceedingsTele-Art- continued
Previously, on February 4, 1999, David Hague, the then liquidator of Tele-Art filed a summons (the “Priority Summons”) in the BVI on its behalf seeking, among other matters:

In June 1997, the Company filed a petition in BVI for the winding up of Tele-Art on account of an unpaid judgment debt owing to the Company. The High Court of Justice granted an order to wind up Tele-Art in July 1998 and the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal upheld the decision on January 25, 1999. On January 22, 1999, pursuant to its Articles of Association, the Company redeemed and cancelled 415,500 shares * of the Company registered in the name of Tele-Art at a price of $3.73 per share to offset substantially all of the judgment debt of $799, plus interest and legal costs totalling $1,673, including dividends that the Company had withheld and credited against the judgment debt.

Following the completion of the redemption, the Company received notice that the liquidator had obtained an ex-parte injunction preventing the Company from redeeming Nam Tai shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art. On February 4, 1999, the liquidator of Tele-Art filed a further summons in the BVI on its behalf seeking, among other matters:

  A declaration as to the respective priorities of the debts of Tele-Art to the Bank of China, Nam Tai,the Company, and other creditors and their respective rights to have their debts discharged out of the proceeds of the Tele-Art’s Nam Tai shares;
 
  An order setting aside the redemption of 415,500 shares *, and ordering delivery of all shares in possession or control of Nam Taithe Company to the liquidator; and
 
  Payment of all dividends in respect of Tele-Art’s Nam Tai shares.

On March 26, 2001, the Company filed a summons seeking to remove the liquidator, David Hague, for failing to act diligently in the performance of his duties and for knowingly misleading the court. On September 3, 2002, David Hague submitted a letter of resignation prior to the scheduled removal hearing. A new liquidator was subsequently appointed in July 2003.

On July 5, 2002, upon application by the Company, the court ordered the removal of the liquidator’s ex-parte injunction and ordered an inquiry into damages. On April 16, 2004, the Company filed its amended points of claim of defense. There are currently applications before the Court of Appeal in the British Virgin Islands to determine the progress of this matter as the Company has sought to enter judgment against David Hague who has applied to strike out the Company’s claim for damages. On August 9, 2002, the court delivered a decision awarding the Company a judgment against Tele-Art for approximately $34,000. On August 12, 2002, the Company redeemed and cancelled, pursuant to its Articles of Association, the remaining 509,181 ** shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art at a price of $6.14 per share. Including the dividends which the Company had withheld and credited against the judgment, this offset a further $3,519 in judgment debts owed to the Company by Tele-Art. The Company recorded the $3,333 redemption, net of expenses, as other income in 2002.

On January 21, 2003, a judgment was delivered on the liquidators’ February 4, 1999 summons declaring that the redemption and set off of dividends on the 415,500 shares be set aside and that all Tele-Art property withheld by Nam Tai be delivered to Tele-Art in liquidation. The orders granted in the judgment were substantially different from the relief sought in the February 4, 1999 application. On February 4, 2003, the Company filed an application for a stay of execution and leave to appeal the decision listing eight grounds of appeal, which was granted on June 23, 2003. The case was heard on January 12, 2004 and the judgment was delivered on April 26, 2004. It was held that the redemption of 415,500 shares by the Company was proper and efficacious. However, the Company must return the redemption proceeds and dividends payable received to the liquidator for distribution to creditors. David Hague, who filed the original application in 1999, has obtained leave to appeal to the Privy Council, the final court of appeal, against the decision of the Court of Appeal. It is not expected that this appeal will be heard before 2006. The court also found that Bank of China to be a secured creditor but the court did not determine the amount owed by Tele-Art, Inc. to Bank of China. We dispute that finding, and among other matters, have argued that the proof of debt by Bank of China was incomplete and invalid.

F-31


18. Commitments and Contingencies- continued

(b)Significant legal proceedings- continued

The Bank of China is claiming to be a secured creditor. Bank of China claims that as of December 6, 2004, the debt from Tele-Art Limited, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Tele-Art, Inc., that is guaranteed by Tele-Art, Inc. was $2,819 with interest accruing daily. However, pursuant to the third liquidator report of October 13, 2004, the liquidator took the view that Bank of China’s proof of debt was incomplete. The liquidator has requested the Court’s approval to take further action and demand that Bank of China provide further information for his consideration. The Company is of the view that the amount of debt owed by Tele-Art Limited to Bank of China may not exceed $1.4 million. Pursuant to the same liquidator report, apart from Nam Tai, the liquidator admitted the proof of debts of two other unsecured creditors with the total amount to approximately $33. David Hague is claiming to have incurred $382 in costs for work as the liquidator. These costs, however, are subject to the approval of the Court and as such are still pending as they have not yet been approved. The liquidator filed a summons for the approval of its third report on October 13, 2004 and this was heard on December 14, 2004. The Court,inter alia, ordered that the liquidator continue the administration of the liquidation of Tele-Art, Inc. substantially in accordance with his proposals contained in the third report as well as the second report.

In 2002, due to the uncertainty of the final outcome of the litigation as a result of the January 21, 2003 judgment and in accordance with SFAS No. 5,“Accounting for Contingencies", the Company recorded a provision for $5,192 as a component of accrued expenses as of December 31, 2002, pending a final determination of this matter by the courts, represented the then best estimate of the net monetary expense the Company would have if its appeal was unsuccessful and its two judgment debts in the total amount of $38,000 (including interest, costs, and related expenses) was determined as having the lowest priorities in recovering from the estate of Tele-Art. According to the information provided by the liquidator on November 7, 2003, apart from Nam Tai, a total of 3 other creditors of Tele-Art, including the Bank of China, submitted their proof of debt to the liquidator for a total claim of approximately $3,390. Together with the outstanding legal charge as at December 31, 2003, the total potential obligation to the Company was estimated to be approximately $3,890, and accordingly, the 2002 provision for $5,192 had been reduced to $3,890 in the fourth quarter of 2003. As a result of the April 26, 2004 judgment, the Company is in negotiations with the liquidator on the distribution of the redemption proceeds among the unsecured creditors. If the Company’s proposal is accepted by the liquidator and approved by the court, and all legal matters related to Tele-Art, Inc. are finalized, including the final determination of the position of the Bank of China, then any remaining portion of the $3,890 provision will be reversed into income in the related period.

However, the actual amount of the recovery, if any, is uncertain, and is dependent on a number of factors including the final determination of the Bank of China’s position. The Company plans to continue to pursue vigorously all legal alternatives available to seek to recover the maximum amount of the outstanding debt from Tele-Art, Inc. as well as to pursue other parties that may have assisted in any transfers of the assets from Tele-Art, Inc. In furtherance of this objective, the Company commenced proceedings in 2002 against David Hague and PriceWaterhouseCoopers for, inter alia, negligence and breach of statutory duty in their conduct of the liquidation. This matter is still in its initial stages as the defendants are seeking leave to appeal against the dismissal of their challenge to the jurisdiction of the BVI courts in this matter. The Company may incur substantial additional costs in pursuing its recovery and such costs may not be recoverable.

Shareholders’ Class Actions

On March 11, 2003, the Company were served with a complaint in an action captioned Michael Rocco v. Nam Tai, et al., 03 Civ. 1148 (S.D.N.Y.), or the Rocco Action. In addition to Nam Tai, certain directors are named as defendants. On or about April 9, 2003, a second complaint was filed in an action captioned A.J. & Celine Steigler v. Nam Tai, et al., 03 Civ. 2462 (S.D.N.Y.), or the Steigler Action, and together with the Rocco Action, the Actions. The Actions have been consolidated since July 2003 and purports to represent a putative class of persons who purchased the common stock of Nam Tai from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003. Plaintiffs in the Actions assert claims under Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and allege that misrepresentations and/or omissions were made during the alleged class periods concerning the recovery of an inventory write-down and a charge to goodwill related to Nam Tai’s LPT segment. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit was denied on September 27, 2004. The putative class action has not been certified as a class action by the court but we expect the plaintiffs to seek such certification in the near future. The court has set May 23, 2005 to near the certification motion. Nam Tai believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend the case vigorously.

     Pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant hereby certifies that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form 20-F and has duly caused and authorized the undersigned to sign this annual report on its behalf.

   The Priority Summons was heard by the High Court on July 29 and 30, 2002 and the High Court delivered its judgment on January 21, 2003 declaring that the redemption and set-off of dividends on the 415,500 shares * should be set aside and that all Tele-Art’s property withheld by the Company be delivered to Tele-Art in liquidation. On February 4, 2003, the Company filed an application for a stay of execution and leave to appeal the decision. The appeal was heard on January 12, 2004 and judgment was delivered on April 26, 2004. The Court of Appeal held that the redemption by the Company of 415,500 * of the Company’s shares was proper and efficacious. However, the Company was ordered to return the redemption proceeds and dividends payable on the redeemed shares to the liquidator. David Hague obtained leave to appeal to the Privy Council on September 21, 2004 the Court of Appeal finding that the redemption by the Company was efficacious.
 NAM TAI ELECTRONICS, INC.
   The Bank of China, which had been involved in the proceedings in the High Court and Court of Appeal with respect to the Priority Summons, applied on December 12, 2005 for special leave to intervene and to be joined as a respondent to the Privy Council appeal of David Hague, firstly so as to be in a position to support David Hague’s appeal and secondly, to appeal against that part of the Court of Appeal order that declared that the redemption price for the sale of the Company’s shares owned by Tele-Art and redeemed by Nam Tai and all withheld dividends to be paid to the liquidator of Tele-Art rather than the Bank of China despite a finding by the BVI court that the Bank of China was a secured creditor of Tele-Art. The Bank of China’s application for special leave was heard by the Privy Council on February 6, 2006 which granted the Bank of China special leave to intervene on the ground that the matter raised important points of law.

Chief Executive Officer
Date: March 15, 2005   The Privy Council heard David Hague’s Appeal on October 9, 2006 and judgment was delivered on November 20, 2006 (the “Judgment”). In the Judgment, the Privy Council allowed Mr. Hague’s appeal and declared that Nam Tai’s redemptions of Tele-Art’s Nam Tai shares of January 22, 1999 and August 12, 2002 were nullities and ordered the Company to rectify its register of members, i.e. shareholders registry, to reinstate the shares it had redeemed, together with any other shares which have accrued by way of exchange or dividend since the redemptions. It also declared in the Judgment that the Bank of China be registered as owner of the reinstated shares. In addition, the Company was ordered to pay the costs incurred by Mr. Hague and the Bank of China in the appeal to the Privy Council. Under the terms of the Judgment, the Bank of China is entitled to have Tele-Art’s debt to Bank of China and its associated expenses in relation to the Privy Council proceedings paid from proceeds of the sale of the Company’s reinstated shares.
   The Privy Council is the final appellate court under the British Virgin Islands judicial system and as such, there is no further legal recourse by way of appeal or otherwise. The Company is therefore obligated to comply with the terms of the Judgment.
On January 8, 2007, the Bank of China wrote to the Company demanding that it comply with the Privy Council Order by (a) rectifying its share register to reflect the fact that the Bank of China is the owner of 1,017,149 shares; (b) issuing to the Bank of China a share certificate for the shares effective as of the dates they were redeemed and the dates of issue for shares attributable to the redeemed shares as a consequence of Nam Tai’s three-for-one stock split of June 30, 2003 and one-for-ten stock dividend of November 7, 2003; and (c) sending the share certificates to the Bank of China’s address stated in the Order. The Bank of China also demanded payment of dividends on the redeemed shares which the Bank of China calculated at $5,595, such demand being on the basis that as Bank of China as the registered owner of the shares was entitled to the payment of these dividends.

The Company responded on January 23, 2007 confirming that it intended to take all necessary steps to comply with the Judgment and to this end, was in the process of finalizing advice from its U.S. Securities lawyers on the proper method of reinstating the shares to the Bank of China. Nam Tai however disputed the Bank of China’s claim for payment of the dividends on the ground that this was contrary to what the Bank of China had argued in the Privy Council and in any event was not part of the Judgment.
The Company has not paid dividends on the redeemed shares since 1997 and at March 1, 2007, the amount that would have accrued on the Redeemed Shares had such shares not been redeemed totaled approximately $5,595. Although the Privy Council did not address the issue of entitlement to post redemption dividends in the Judgment, following the Judgment, the Bank of China has made claim to such dividends, a claim that the Company has denied. Litigation may ensue over the Bank of China’s or the liquidator of Tele-Art’s right to the dividends. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to continue to defend the actions vigorously.
The Bank of China responded on January 30, 2007 demanding confirmation of the rectification of the share register within 14 days and receipt by the Bank of China of the share certificates for the shares. The Bank of China asserted the payment of dividends on the shares to be reinstated was a direct consequence of the Privy Council Order and that Nam Tai was obligated to pay to the Bank of China.
The Company’s common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and accordingly has applied to the NYSE to list on the NYSE the 1,017,149 shares to be reinstated and delivered to the Bank of China in accordance with the Judgment. The Company recently received notice from the NYSE that the Company’s listing application for such shares had been approved for listing subject to official notice of reinstatement. Nam Tai is in the process of preparing instructions to its transfer agent to reinstate these shares and to register them in the name of the Bank of China.
The amount of Tele-Art’s obligations to the Bank of China that are subject to the Bank of China’s security interest in the shares to be reinstated has not yet been established; however, the liquidator of Tele-Art has estimated that as of December 31, 2006 it was approximately $3,345 on that date. Additionally, the Bank of China is entitled under its share charge to recover its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in recovering on Tele-Art’s debt and interest continues to accrue. The Company may contest any or all of the amounts claimed by the Bank of China as underlying the share charge and may assert claims against the Bank of China concerning the Bank of China’s conduct in and outside of the liquidation proceedings.
On August 25, 2005, the liquidator filed his summons in the High Court for the approval of his fourth liquidator report. The report sought the court’s approval of his recommendation of the amount of debt owed by Tele-Art to the Company of approximately $38,900, two other unsecured creditors of approximately $221 and the fee to David Hague of approximately $382. The report also sought the court’s approval of the Company’s proposal on the distribution of the redemption proceeds among the unsecured creditors and direction of court on whether Bank of China was eligible to claim any amounts against Tele-Art and, if eligible, the quantum of such debt. This liquidator’s summons was due to be heard on February 20, 2006 but had been adjourned to a date to be fixed by the Registrar of the High Court. It is expected that in light of the Judgment of November 20, 2006, the liquidator may seek to have the issues raised in its summons adjudicated by the BVI court, but up to March 16, 2007, the Company have not received any information to that effect or otherwise and the status of this proceeding remained unchanged.
On April 11, 2005, Bank of China also filed a summons to the BVI Court seeking orders to force Nam Tai to pay the redemption price and dividends ordered by the Court of Appeal on the appeal of the Priority Summons to Bank of China. Nam Tai filed an affidavit of evidence in response on July 19, 2005. A determination by the court of this proceeding has now been rendered moot by the Judgment and although we expect that the Bank of China will now withdraw or abandon its prosecution. As of March 16, 2007, the Company has not received any information to that effect or otherwise.
As of December 31, 2002, due to the uncertainty of the final outcome of the litigation as a result of the January 21, 2003 judgment and in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, the Company recorded a provision for $5,192 as a component of accrued expenses as of December 31, 2002, pending a final determination of this matter by the courts, represented the then best estimate of the net monetary expense the Company would have if its appeal to the judgment in relation to the Priority Summons on January 21, 2003 was unsuccessful and its two judgment debts in the total amount of $38,000 (including interest, costs, and related expenses) was determined as having the lowest priorities in recovering from the estate of Tele-Art. According to the information provided by the liquidator on November 7, 2003, apart

Tele-Art— continued
from the Company, a total of 3 other creditors of Tele-Art, including the Bank of China, submitted their proof of debt to the liquidator for a total claim of approximately $3,390. Together with the outstanding legal charge as at December 31, 2003, the total potential obligation to the Company was estimated to be approximately $3,890, and accordingly, the 2002 provision for $5,192 had been reduced to $3,890 in the fourth quarter of 2003.
The losses the Company incurred of $14,465 at and through the Company’s year ended December 31, 2006 arising from the Judgment ordering reinstatement of the redeemed shares were determined by taking into account the fair value (i.e. market closing price) of the Company’s shares on November 20, 2006 (the date of the Judgment); the estimated costs and expenses of the Bank of China and David Hague that the Company expects will be claimed in connection with the Privy Council litigation proceedings; and a reversal of the $3,890 provision previously made by the Company in 2003 with respect to these proceedings. The Company may incur additional losses in the future as a result of its reinstatement of the redeemed shares to the extent that the costs and expenses of the Bank of China and David Hague increase beyond the aggregate losses the Company has estimated at December 31, 2006 for the purposes of determining the $14,465 losses.
Based on the proceedings with respect to the liquidation of Tele-Art, any proceeds from sales of the shares by the Bank of China after the deduction of its valid claims and other costs and expenses of the liquidation of Tele-Art, together with any of the Redeemed Shares remaining after the Bank of China’s sales of that collateral, are to be shared among the Company and two other unsecured creditors on a pro-rata basis up to the amount of their valid claims against Tele-Art. Once the debt of Bank of China has been satisfied, the Company believes that it and the other unsecured creditors of Tele-Art would be entitled to payment of their debt from the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the redeemed shares. The Company has been advised that of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art in the liquidation, approximately 95% consist of the Company’s judgment against Tele-Art that the High Court of Justice in the BVI awarded to the Company in the amount of $34,000, plus interest, that resulted from damages the Company suffered from a 1993 injunction obtained by Tele-Art. The remainder of the unsecured claims against Tele-Art in the liquidation consist of the Company’s claims for other amounts owed to it by Tele-Art, which aggregate to approximately 4% of the total unsecured claims in the liquidation, with the remainder of the aggregate unsecured claims consisting of those of the two other unsecured creditors.
The amount actually recoverable, if any, by the Company on its judgments against Tele-Art and other claims will depend on the price realized by the liquidator when the Company’s shares are sold to satisfy creditors’ claims against Tele-Art and thus is dependent on the market price at the time of sale as well as the actual amounts of the claims of the Bank of China and the other creditors against Tele-Art and ultimate expenses of the liquidator. Because of uncertainties relating to the timing of Bank of China’s actions with respect to the disposition of the Redeemed Shares delivered to it pursuant to the Judgment, including the timing of any sales and the amount of proceeds to be realized, the actual amount of Bank of China’s claims, including interest, costs and expenses, whether Bank of China actually remits any excess proceeds or shares to the liquidator for the benefit of Tele-Art’s unsecured creditors, the uncertain effect of any claims that the Company may assert against the Bank of China, the possibility that the Company will be forced to seek further recourse from the courts in an effort to protect its position and the timing, and cost and uncertain success of such recourse, the Company has determined not to record any value to a potential recovery on its unsecured claims against Tele-Art’s estate in liquidation in its consolidated financial statements until the prospects of recovery, if any, becomes reasonably certain to the Company. The Company may incur substantial additional costs in pursuing our recovery, and neither the amount of our judgments against Tele-Art, nor such costs may be recoverable.
The Company plans to continue to pursue vigorously all legal alternatives available to seek to recover the maximum amount of the outstanding debt from Tele-Art as well as to pursue other parties that may have assisted in any transfers of the assets from Tele-Art.

(b)Significant legal proceedings— continued
In furtherance of this objective, the Company commenced proceedings in 2002 against David Hague and PricewaterhouseCoopers for, inter alia, negligence and breach of statutory duty in their conduct of the liquidation. David Hague had submitted a letter of resignation from the post of liquidator of Tele-Art on September 3, 2002 to the High Court and his resignation was approved by the High Court on December 17, 2002. A new liquidator, Mr. Glenn Harrigan, was then appointed by the BVI court on July 11, 2003.
David Hague and PricewaterhouseCoopers applied to the High Court of the BVI on December 24, 2002 challenge the service of these proceedings on them to Hong Kong and jurisdiction of the BVI courts to determine the claim by the Company. The application was heard by the High Court on May 11 and 12, 2004 and dismissed in its judgment on October 29, 2004. David Hague and PricewaterhouseCoopers obtained leave to appeal this judgment in March 2005 and the appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal on September 19 to 21, 2005. The Court of Appeal delivered its judgment dismissing the appeal and awarding costs to the Company. David Hague and PricewaterhouseCoopers made an application on February 6, 2006 for leave to appeal this judgment to the Privy Council. The Company has cross-applied for leave on February 3, 2006 to appeal to the Privy Council against the costs awarded to the Company in the Court of Appeal on the basis that such costs were determined by the application of incorrect legal principles and were in any event too low and inconsistent with cost orders made against the Company in other appeal proceedings involving David Hague.
Both Nam Tai and the David Hague’s application for leave to Appeal were heard by the Court of Appeal on May 9, 2006. The Court granted David Hague’s application for leave to appeal but dismissed Nam Tai’s application with costs on the ground that the matter was not one of great public importance but merely concerned the private matter of a party to litigation being aggrieved by the costs awarded to it by the Court. Nam Tai being dissatisfied with this decision applied for special leave to appeal direct to the Privy Council on November 4, 2006. This application has been listed for hearing in London before the Privy Council on March 29, 2007. No date has however been fixed for the hearing of the David Hague’s substantive appeal but it is expected that same will come on for hearing sometime in the middle of the year.
The Company has also instituted proceedings in the BVI against UBS Painewebber, or UBS, on June 20, 2005, for breach of trust with respect to UBS’s role as brokers in carrying out the terms of the September 1997 BVI court order for the sale of Tele-Art’s Nam Tai shares in sufficient quantities to pay the debts of the Bank of China and Nam Tai. UBS subsequently filed an application challenging the jurisdiction of the Court. On July 25, 2006 however, the Court upon the application of PaineWebber made an Order staying the BVI court proceedings pending the outcome of the New York Court proceedings which in effect dealt with almost identical matters as the BVI proceedings. This stay remains in place and awaits the outcome of the New York matter which we understand continues to proceed to trial.
(* Subsequent to November 7, 2003, the number of shares has been adjusted to 457,050 to reflect the 1 for 10 stock dividend effective on that date.)
(** Subsequent to November 7, 2003, the number of shares has been adjusted to 560,099 to reflect the 1 for 10 stock dividend effective on that date.)
Shareholders’ Actions
The Company and certain of its directors are defendants in consolidated [class] actions entitledRocco vs. Nam Tai Electronics et al.,Lead Case No. 03-cv-01148-JES, originally commenced on February 20, 2003 and pending in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York. The named plaintiffs purport to represent a putative class of persons who purchased our common shares from July 29, 2002 through February 18, 2003. The plaintiffs have asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and allege that misrepresentations and/or omissions were made during the alleged class period concerning the partial reversal of an inventory provision and a charge to goodwill related to the Company’s LCDP segment. The Company has filed an answer to the amended and consolidated complaint and oral argument on the plaintiffs’ most recent motion for class certification was held on February 1, 2007. The Court reserved judgment on the motion at the conclusion of the oral argument and had not rendered a ruling as the close of business on March 16, 2007. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to continue to defend the actions vigorously.
