In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) as set forth in the table above, management utilizes a measure of operating income / (loss), net income / (loss) and earnings (loss) per share on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain income and expenses to better assess operating performance. Those non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items, such as share-based compensation expenses and infrequent or unusual items such as gain on sale of shares of a subsidiary, employee severance benefits in PRC subsidiaries and other income recovered from Tele-Art Inc. (in liquidation). By disclosing the non-GAAP information, management intends to provide investors with additional information to analyze the Company’s performance, core results and underlying trends. Non-GAAP information is not determined using US GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and

should not be used to compare the Company’s performance over different periods. Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income/(loss) or other financial data prepared in accordance with US GAAP as measures of our operating results or liquidity. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made. See the table below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP amounts to amounts reported under US GAAP.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
The business environment in Nam Tai’s product sectors remains difficult and extremely competitive. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $93.7 million, a decrease of 44.5% as compared to sales of $169.0 million in the same quarter of 2008. Sales in our CECP segment and TCA segment dropped by 59.3% and 45.0% respectively and LCDP segment increased by 17.9%, during the fourth quarter of 2009, as compared to same period in 2008. Sales in our CECP segment declined significantly mainly because of the continuing effect from the global economic downturn. The weak demand in the market for our consumer products adversely affected sales of all of our end-user products such as mobile phone accessories, which principally represented sales of our headsets containing Bluetooth®1 wireless technology, educational products, optical products and home entertainment devices. Sales in our TCA segment also declined as a consequence of the decline in sales of TCA.
The Company’s gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of 2009 was 10.8% as compared to 8.7% in the fourth quarter of 2008. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $10.2 million, a decrease of 30.6%, as compared to $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily resulting from the decrease in sales.
Net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.4 million, as compared to net loss of $14.5 million in same quarter of 2008, mainly due to impairment loss on goodwill $17.3 million in 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $0.01 per share, as compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.32 in the fourth quarter of 2008.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, our net sales were $408.1 million, a decrease of 34.5% as compared to $622.9 million in the same period last year. The Company’s gross profit margin was 9.9% as compared to 11.3% in the same period of 2008. Gross profit was $40.3 million, a decrease of 43.0%, as compared to $70.7 million in the same period last year. We reported an operating income for the twelve months of 2009 of $0.4 million, compared to operating income of $6.4 million in the same period last year. Our net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share (diluted), as compared to net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders of $30.6 million, or $0.68 per share (diluted), in the same period last year.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP operating income of $3.5 million, or $0.08 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2008. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2009 decreased to $0.4 million or $0.01 per share (diluted), compared to income of $3.5 million, or $0.08 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
Despite current economic conditions, Nam Tai’s financial position as at December 31, 2009 remained strong with $195.6 million cash on hand. Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $15.6 million. During the fourth quarter, the Company made capital expenditure of $7.9 million.
Nam Tai’s cash on hand has been invested in term deposits with HSBC and China Construction Bank. The Company continues to exercise rigorous corporate governance and control policies and is not involved in trading of any debt securities or financial derivative products.

EXPANSION PROJECTS
During the fourth quarter of 2009, we expended approximately $8 million mainly on our ongoing expansion project of FPC manufacturing plant in Wuxi near the east coast of China, approximately 80 miles northwest of Shanghai. Upon the completion of construction of the plant in the second quarter 2009, manufacturing equipments and human resources were being established. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the plant spent time and effort to build samples for customers in applications of automotive and telecommunications. Small volume of mass manufacturing is expected to be scheduled in the first quarter of 2010. Continuously, there will be more samples to be built for more customers and higher volume of mass manufacturing will be commencing in the coming quarters.
PRIVATIZATION OF NTEEP
The compulsory acquisition of Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited (“NTEEP”) by the Company was completed on November 12, 2009. Withdrawal of listing of the shares of NTEEP on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong also took place with effect from November 13, 2009. As a result, NTEEP has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The business in 2009 was not satisfactory. The global financial crisis which continues from 2009 will affect the businesses of the Company in 2010. It is believed that the business of our CECP segment continue to drop in 2010. The Company will establish careful negotiations with customers on business terms to reduce further risks. Such uncertainty hinders the growth and so the business outlook for the Company in 2010 remains tough.
While it is believed that sales of optical products and educational products will remain weak, the demand for LCM and FPC products is expected to increase. Nevertheless, the growth for the year 2010 will be limited. The Company will concentrate on the development and manufacture of FPC products in the future.
In the coming quarters, the Company will focus on re-organization while achieving improvement in management which utilizes effective risk control system and strong company governance policies. Where necessary, new management executives will be recruited.
UPDATE ON TAX DISPUTE WITH HONG KONG INLAND REVENUE DEPARTMENT
Regarding the tax disputes of the 3 inactive or dormant subsidiaries of the Company, Nam Tai Trading Company Limited, Nam Tai Group Management Limited and Nam Tai Telecom (Hong Kong) Company Limited, the Company has been co-operating with the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong (“IRD”) all along in supplying them with all the information we believe is necessary to resolve the disputes.
Page 6 of 14
Table of Contents
However, IRD does not accept our explanations that it was necessary for these 3 subsidiaries to perform their individual functions for the whole Nam Tai group and therefore the management fees paid by the Company to support and finance all the necessary overhead expenses of these subsidiaries (not located in Hong Kong) to contribute to the businesses representing the administration and finance departmental functions for the whole group under the corporate structure at that time were not regarded as necessary expenses by IRD.
Since it is believed that it will be difficult for these subsidiaries to continue co-operating with IRD in the future, if the Company discontinues to finance these subsidiaries, they will be forced to liquidate in due course. As these subsidiaries do not conduct any business and have been inactive or dormant for quite some time, and own either limited book-value assets or no assets, it is believed that there should be no impact on the Company’s overall performance.
DIVIDEND
After serious consideration of the financial situations of the Company, the board has determined to continue to suspend dividend payments in 2010.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE
Express or implied statements in this press release, such as management’s assessment of the strength of Nam Tai’s financial condition and cash position, our belief regarding the benefits and cost reductions to be realized upon completion of the privatization of NTEEP, the expectations on sales upon completion of construction of the plant in the Wuxi factory and the beginning of the mass manufacturing, an increase for demand for LCM and FPC products and concentration on the development and manufacture of FPC products in the future, the negotiations with customers on business terms to reduce further risks and the benefits which may achieve upon the re-organization of the management and recruitment of new management executives, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words like “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “seeks”, “plans” or “planned,” “may,” “will,” “should” or “anticipates,” or the negative equivalents of those words or comparable terminology, and involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and reflect management’s views with respect to future events and may not actually occur during the periods indicated or at all and are not a guarantee of Nam Tai’s future performance. These forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release. These risks and
Page 7 of 14
Table of Contents
uncertainties include whether the completion of construction of the Wuxi factory and the beginning of the mass manufacturing, an increase for demand for LCM and FPC products and concentration on the development and manufacture of FPC products in the future will have a material effect on sales and justify the funds expended in the process; whether the negotiations with customers on business terms are able to reduce further risks; whether the re-organization of the management and recruitment of new management executives can achieve the benefits desired; whether Nam Tai’s completion of the privatization of NTEEP will provide Nam Tai’s with meaningful benefits; whether Nam Tai’s decision to eliminate the declaration of dividends during 2010 (or beyond should conditions warrant) will be able to maintain the financial position of the Company; and whether the 3 inactive or dormant subsidiaries of the Company will have no impact on the Company’s overall performance. Product orders and Nam Tai’s operating results, available cash, cash flows, operating results and levels of capital expenditures may be adversely affected by numerous factors including adverse global economic conditions generally and the continuing uncertainties and fears regarding the world’s and nations’ economies; Nam Tai’s dependence on a few large customers; intense competition in the electronics manufacturing services, or EMS, industry in which the Company participates, particularly in markets that place constant pressure on the Company to reduce unit prices; continuing competitive pressures that adversely affect its profit margins; its operating results fluctuating and lacking predictability; risks relating to its doing business in the PRC such as arising from changes in governmental policies, trade regulation, currency exchange rates, particularly from the appreciation of the renminbi to the U.S. dollar which has occurred since June 2005, and inflation in the PRC and elsewhere globally; the timing and amount of significant orders from customers; Nam Tai’s success at attracting new customers; delays in product development and related product release schedules; obsolete inventory or product returns; warranty and other claims on products; technological shifts; the availability of competitive products of comparable quality at prices below Nam Tai’s prices; maturing product life cycles of the products manufactured by Nam Tai; concessions Nam Tai may make on product sale terms and conditions; successful implementation of operating cost structures that align with revenue; the financial condition of Nam Tai’s customers and vendors; the availability and increasing costs of materials and other components needed to manufacture Nam Tai’s products; potential shortages of materials or skilled labor needed to complete its planned expansion project in Wuxi; unforeseen engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, flood, earthquake or other acts of God, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits from regulatory authorities needed for completion of its planned new Wuxi facility or to continue existing operations; unanticipated cost increases; risks of expanding into a new area of the PRC where Nam Tai’s has not yet conducted business, the success or failure of Nam Tai’s efforts to return property acquired from the Wuxi government for the construction of the second factory and potential consequences to Nam Tai from terminating its second Wuxi expansion project; diversion of management’s attention to a new factory in Wuxi and to other business concerns; the impact of legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements; a worsening of relations between the PRC and the United States; the effects of terrorist activity and armed conflict that cause disruptions in general economic activity and changes in Nam Tai’s operations and security arrangements; the effects of travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Bird Flu or recent outbreaks of swine flu, on general economic activity; or other changes in general economic conditions, including an exacerbation of the current global economic weaknesses that continue to adversely affect, or further reduce, demand for Nam Tai’s products. In addition, factors, among others, that could cause the market price of our shares to decline in the future could include further decreases in our revenues from those we reported in earlier periods, our operating results or those of our competitors or customers to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors who follow the EMS, industry, or one or more of the factors discussed in “Item 3. Key Information — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed on March 13, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
