In addition to disclosing results determined in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (US GAAP) above, management utilizes a measure of operating income,
net income and earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain income/expenses as
below to better assess operating performance. Those non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain
items, such as gains on disposal of marketable securities, gains on disposal of assets held for
sale, loss on marketable securities arising from split share structure reform, losses arising from
judgement to reinstate redeemed shares, or other infrequent or unusual items. By disclosing the
non-GAAP information, management intends to provide investors with additional information to
analyze the Companys 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 Companys performance over different periods.
Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other
data prepared in accordance with US GAAP as measures of our profitability 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.

Note: |

(a) |
|
As announced on April 24, 2007, the Company, through a subsidiary of one of its Hong Kong
listed subsidiaries, Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited (NTEEP), disposed of
all of its 80,600,173 A Shares of TCL Corporation on April 20 and April 23, 2007 through
market sales on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for an aggregate of approximately $54 million,
resulting in a one-off gain of approximately $28 million net of the portion attributable to
minority interests. |
|
(b) |
|
Losses arising from the judgment to reinstate redeemed shares were determined for the three
months and year ended December 31, 2006 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 Privy Council judgment); the estimated costs and expenses of BOC and former
Tele-Art, Inc. (Tele-Art)s 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 (see discussion under Tele-Art Litigation below). |

FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END REVIEW
Primarily as a consequence of a decline in business from the telecommunication components assembly
(TCA) segment, sales in the fourth quarter and for the year ended December 31, 2007 decreased
18.6% and 10.3%, respectively, as compared to the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2006.
The TCA segment is dependent on demand in the mobile phone market and one of our indirect customers
suffered a substantial drop in sales volume in its mobile devices business in Asia and Europe,
which continued into the fourth quarter and thus far is showing no signs of reversing in 2008.
Thus, we and other participants in the mobile phone supply chain were inevitably affected in the
quarter and year 2007 and we expect this adverse trend to continue, at least in the near term.
During the fourth quarter and entire year, the business environment was extremely competitive and
challenging, from our efforts focusing on sales in other segments, we were able to increase sales
in both our LCDP segment, consisting of liquid crystal display panels and modules, which grew by
29.0% and 29.7% during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, and in
our consumer electronics and communication products (CECP) segment, which grew by 29.2% and 59.1%
during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. Growth in our CECP
segment was primarily driven from increased sales of mobile phone accessories, such as speaker
stands and headsets containing Bluetooth® wireless technology*, educational devices such as FLY
Fusion Pentop Computers1 and home entertainment products such as gaming accessories. The increases
in sales from our LCDP and CECP segments, however, were not sufficient to offset the decreases in
sales from our TCA product segment.
Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $186.9 million, a decrease of 18.6% as compared to
$229.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $21.0
million, a decrease of 4.4% as compared to $22.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily
as the result of the decline in sales in our TCA product segment. Operating income in the fourth
quarter of 2007 was $7.7 million, or $0.17 per share (diluted), compared to operating loss of $2.6
million, or $0.06 per share (diluted) in the fourth quarter of 2006. Our 2006 fourth quarter
operating loss resulted from the judgment requiring us to reinstate our shares that we redeemed
from Tele-Art. Basic and diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $0.21 per
share, compared to a loss per share of $0.05 in the fourth quarter of 2006.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, Nam Tais net sales were $780.8 million, a decrease of 10.3%
as compared to $870.2 million in the year 2006. Gross profit was $87.0 million, an increase of 0.9%
as compared to $86.2 million in the year 2006. Operating income for the year 2007 decreased 4.3% to
$40.7 million, or $0.91 per share (diluted), compared to $42.5 million, or $0.97 per share
(diluted), in the year 2006. Net Income for year 2007 was $69.5 million, or $1.55 per share
(diluted), an increase of 70.5% as compared to $40.8 million or $0.93 per share (diluted) in the
year 2006.
The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position. It has a low debt to equity ratio
of only 2.4%. Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $31.2
million. The Company ended the quarter with $272.5 million of cash on hand even after capital
expenditures of $3.3 million, prepayment for a land purchase of $6.8 million and dividends accrued
in the third quarter of $9.3 million that we paid to our shareholders on October 21, 2007.

Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $9.6 million, or $0.21 per share
(diluted), compared to non-GAAP operating income of $11.9 million, or $0.27 per share (diluted), in
the fourth quarter of 2006. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased by 8.2%
over the fourth quarter of 2006 to $11.2 million, or $0.25 per share (diluted), compared to $12.2
million, or $0.28 per share (diluted), in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Non-GAAP operating income for the full year in 2007 was $42.6 million, or $0.95 per share
(diluted), compared to non-GAAP operating income of $47.7 million, or $1.09 per share (diluted) for
the year 2006. Non-GAAP net income for the year 2007 was $42.7 million or $0.95 per share
(diluted), a decrease of 9.7% as compared to $47.3 million, or $1.08 per share (diluted), for the
year 2006.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
The Company is operating in a challenging business environment, where competition remains intense
and is expected to continue to manifest pricing pressures from customers. This is expected to pose
a significant ongoing challenge for the electronics manufacturing services industry in the coming
quarters and years. Additionally, we will also have to face issues such as the continuing
appreciation of Renminbi, changing tax and labour laws in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC),
shortages of electricity supply and increases in overhead expenses resulting from inflation. We
continue to concentrate our efforts to improve manufacturing efficiencies, broaden our product
offerings and diversify our customer base. Going forward, we are still cautiously optimistic about
our business levels in 2008. In our first quarter of 2008, we are anticipating steady business
levels in the CECP and LCDP product segments, however, we are anticipating continuing weakness in
demand in the TCA segment. Longer-term, the Company will strive to improve profitability in our
core operations, especially after the increase in capacities from the production in the new factory
facilities when they are operational.
In December 2007, we paid approximately $6.8 million for the land in Shenzhen Guangming Hi-Tech
Industrial Park underlying our previously announced Shenzhen expansion project, satisfying in full
the land payments required for that project. We are currently awaiting for the land use right
certificate to be issued by PRC Bureau of State Land and Resource. Pursuant to a competitive
bidding process we implemented in regard to our expansion project in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province of the
PRC, we awarded construction to a local Wuxi construction company, which we believe has a strong
management team that includes experienced members from both Hong Kong and the PRC. Construction on
this project began in the first quarter of 2008, is targeted for completion by the end of 2008 with
manufacturing operations scheduled to begin in the early of 2009.

4. Developments in Class Action Litigation
As we had previously reported and announced, the U.S. District Court denied the plaintiffs motion
for class certification on August 21, 2007. A conference with the court was held on January 17,
2008 wherein the plaintiff indicated that he wished to proceed with his case as an individual,
notwithstanding the denial of class certification. The court ordered that the parties to begin
discovery within the next six months. The damages sought by the plaintiff in an individual capacity
is not material to our financial condition or results of operations and accordingly we do not
intend to provide further updates on this litigation unless an event occurs during its course that
we believe would be material to investors.

5. Tele-Art/Bank of China Litigation
As previously announced, and in compliance with the November 2006 decision of the Privy Council of
the United Kingdom, we reinstated 1,017,149 of our common shares that we had previously redeemed
from Tele-Art, registered them on our stock register in the name of Bank of China Hong Kong Limited
(BOC) and delivered the share certificates to BOC. We have been advised that BOC has sold 539,830
of the reinstated shares in early September 2007 and applied the proceeds to the secured debt that
BOC claimed was due to it from Tele-Art. The proceeds from the sale retained by BOC included the
amount it asserted to satisfy the obligation it claimed from Tele-Art through the date of sale,
plus a reserve of approximately $900,000 for legal costs and expenses that BOC has claimed for
related litigation. BOC has delivered to Tele-Arts liquidator the 477,319 shares remaining from
the reinstated shares it sold (Remaining Shares). Investigations on behalf of the liquidator
seeking to locate and recover additional Tele-Art assets for its estate in liquidation are ongoing.
The liquidator has authorized us to utilize the cash dividends attributable to the reinstated
shares for the benefit of the estate of Tele-Art (in Liquidation). We have deposited such cash
dividends and will deposit proceeds from the disposal of the Remaining Shares and any other assets
of Tele-Arts estate that are discovered into a segregated bank account, from which all future
legal costs and other expenses relating to the liquidation of Tele-Art will be paid until its
liquidation proceedings are concluded.
6. Reorganization of Nam Tai Group
As previously announced, the reorganization of the Nam Tai Group companies consisting of its Hong
Kong Stock Exchange-listed subsidiaries, NTEEP and J.I.C. Technology Company Limited was completed
in Macao, PRC on December 31, 2007. The Company is now in the process of reorganizing its internal
structure in order to realize the expected benefits arising from clear division of its core and
non-core businesses, including the centralization of resources, the efficient exchange of know-how
and technology among the Groups companies, and a reduction of overhead costs following the
reorganization.
7. Appointment of New Chief Executive Officer
Nam Tai is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Masaaki Yasukawa as Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) of the Company with a commencement date of February 1, 2008. When the appointment of Mr.
Yasukawa as CEO takes effect, he will succeed Mr. M. K. Koo, who has been serving as Acting CEO

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE
Statements concerning managements optimism and first quarter 2008 business levels, managements
estimates of when its expansion projects in Wuxi, PRC will be available for production, and the
benefits to be obtained therefrom managements assessment regarding the benefits expected from the
recently completed reorganization of its group operations and the Companys schedule of dividends
to be paid in fiscal 2008, among other statements in this press release, are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words
like believes, intends, expects, plans or planned, may, will, should or
anticipates, or the negative equivalents of those words or comparable terminology, and involve
risks and uncertainties. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and
reflect managements views with respect to future events and may not actually occur during the
periods indicated or at all and are not a guarantee of our future performance. These
forward-looking statements are, by their nature, subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors
that could cause the actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements in this press release.
Whether managements optimism regarding Nam Tais prospects for near-term business levels will be
realized,, whether managements assessment of future demands and market conditions will prove true
and expectancies regarding Nam Tais position to meet such demands and requirements, whether the
Company can or will be able to meet the stages of its planned expansion by the dates currently
expected, whether Nam Tais capital expenditures to achieve expanded capacity will result in
material increases in revenues or result in increased or any profits and whether future dividends
will actually be declared, or even if declared, continued, will depend upon future sales orders,
the Companys operating income in future periods, on Nam Tais ability to contain manufacturing
costs and the actual level of capital expenditures required for its expansion projects. Whether
managements expectations of benefits to be achieved from the recently completed reorganization of
its group operations will depend on the successful implementation of the reorganizations goal of
clearer
Page 7 of 14
division of Nam Tais core and non-core businesses, including the success of the strategies seeking
to centralize of resources, foster the exchange of know-how and technology efficiently among the
Groups companies, and to reduce overhead costs some of which may not be achieved or, if achieved,
may not result in the benefits expected. Nam Tais growth, operating income, available cash, cash
flows and levels of capital expenditures may be adversely affected by numerous factors including
Nam Tais dependence on a few large customers; intense competition in the electronics industry in
which the Company participates; Nam Tai being subject to continuing pressure on its margins; its
operating results fluctuating and lacking predictability, continuing softness in its
telecommunication components assembly segment and the failure to grow other business segments to
compensate for the lacking demand for such components; risks relating to its doing business in the
PRC such as arising from changes in governmental policies, taxation, trade regulation, currency
exchange rates, increasing labor costs, inflation and income taxes; the timing and amount of
significant orders from customers; delays in product development and related product release
schedules; obsolete inventory or product returns; warranty and other claims on products;
technological shifts; the availability of competitive products of comparable quality at prices
below Nam Tais prices; maturing product life cycles; concessions Nam Tai may make on product sale
terms and conditions; implementation of operating cost structures that align with revenue growth,
if any; the financial condition of Nam Tais customers and vendors and those companies in which Nam
Tai holds marketable securities or other investments; the availability and increasing costs of
materials and other components needed to manufacture its products; adverse results in litigation,
including its on-going securities class action litigation; potential shortages of materials or
skilled labor needed for its planned expansion projects or for its existing facilities; unforeseen
engineering problems, work stoppages, weather interference, flood, earthquake or other acts of God,
delays in obtaining or failure to obtain necessary permits from regulatory authorities needed to
permit expansion or continue existing operations, other unexpected project delays or unanticipated
costs increases; risks of expanding into new areas of the PRC where Nam Tais has not yet conducted
business, diversion of managements attention to expansion and its management to new locations and
to other business concerns; the impact of legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential
new accounting pronouncements; a worsening of relations between the PRC and the United States or
Taiwan; the effects of terrorist activity and armed conflict such as disruptions in general
economic activity and changes in Nam Tais operations and security arrangements; the effects of
travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as the Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome or Bird Flu, on general economic activity; or other changes in general
economic conditions that affect demand for Nam Tais products. In addition, factors, among others,
that could cause the market price of our shares to decline in the future could include the failure
of our growth, if any, or operating results or those of our competitors or customers to meet the
expectations of public market analysts and investors who follow the electronics manufacturing
services, or EMS, industry, the sale, availability for sale or the preparations for the sell, of
the reinstated shares on behalf of Tele-Arts liquidator to satisfy the claims of Tele-Arts
creditors 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, 2006 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
