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, net income and earnings 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 disposal of subsidiaries’ shares and gain on disposal of marketable securities. 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 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.

Note:
 
(a)   The share-based compensation expenses included approximately $0.2 million attributable to options to purchase 75,000 shares granted in the second quarter of 2008 to non-employee directors in accordance with the Company’s practice of making annual option grants to its non-employee directors upon their election for the ensuing year and approximately $1.0 million principally attributable to options to purchase approximately 20 million shares granted by the Company’s Hong Kong Stock Exchange- listed subsidiary, Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited (“NTEEP”)(Stock Code : 2633), to certain of its executive directors and employees in the first quarter of 2008.
 
(b)   On March 4, 2008, Nam Tai completed the sale of its entire equity interest in J.I.C. Technology Company Limited (“JIC”), a Hong Kong Stock Exchange listed subsidiary (Stock Code: 00987), to an independent third party. In this transaction, Nam Tai sold 572,594,978 shares of JIC, representing 74.99% of its outstanding share capital for cash of approximately $51 million, which resulted in a gain on disposal of approximately $20 million.
 
(c)   A total amount of approximately $2.9 million of other income in the Company’s financial statements for the second quarter of 2008. This amount represents Nam Tai’s share of proceeds realized from the disposal for the account of Tele-Art, Inc.’s liquidator of 477,319 Nam Tai shares owned by Tele-Art, Inc. (in liquidation)(“Tele-Art”) and was paid in settlement of amounts previously funded by Nam Tai in connection with Tele-Art’s liquidation and in partial satisfaction of judgments in favor of Nam Tai against Tele-Art.
SECOND QUARTER REVIEW
The business environment in Nam Tai’s product sectors remains difficult and extremely competitive. Net sales in the second quarter of 2008 were $146.2 million, a decrease of 26.1% as compared to the sales of $197.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, mainly as a consequence of the continuing decline in business from the Company’s telecommunication components assembly (“TCA”) segment. Net sales in the TCA segment for the

Page 2 of 13


Table of Contents

second quarter of 2008 decreased by 48.0% compared to the same quarter of 2007. Our TCA segment is primarily dependent on the mobile phone market. The Company suffered another substantial drop in sales volume of its devices used in mobile phones, a trend Nam Tai began experiencing in 2007 and which has continued and accelerated as a result of declining demand experienced in the mobile phone market and persistent pressure to lower unit prices. The challenging environment in the TCA segment is expected to continue and may increase in the coming quarters. Sales of products in our liquid crystal display product (“LCDP”) segment and sales from our consumer electronics and communication products (“CECP”) segment also dropped by 6.1% and 3.1% respectively, during the second quarter of 2008 as compared to sales of the corresponding quarter of 2007. The decrease in sales in our LCDP segment was mainly a consequence of the drop of sales of our LCD modules products. Sales in our CECP segment were affected by a decrease in sales of mobile phone accessories of approximately 28% from comparable sales in the second quarter of 2007, offset by the increase in sales of our home entertainment devices amounting to approximately 22% from 2007 second quarter sales.
The Company’s gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2008 improved by approximately 2.7 %, to 14.2% in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 11.5% in the second quarter of 2007. Management attributes this increase in gross profit margins to it’s program selectivity, with strong emphasis on profitability, and the effect of efforts to improve manufacturing efficiencies. We will continue our efforts in improving manufacturing efficiencies, broadening our product offerings and diversifying our customer base which we expect will help to manage operations in the ongoing tough business environment. Gross profit in the second quarter of 2008 was $20.8 million, a decrease of 8.7% as compared to $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2007, primarily resulting from the decline in 2008 sales.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2008 was $8.6 million, or $0.19 per share (diluted), compared to operating income of $11.8 million, or $0.26 per share (diluted) in the second quarter of 2007. Net income in the second quarter of 2008 was $11.8 million, compared to net income of $38.8 million (of which, approximately $28.0 million resulted from a net gain on disposal of marketable securities) in the second quarter of 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2008 were $0.26 per share, compared to $0.87 in the second quarter of 2007.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Nam Tai’s net sales were $293.3 million, a decrease of 24.7% as compared to $389.4 million in the same period last year. Gross profit was $40.3 million, an increase of 0.9% as compared to $40.0 million in the same period last year. Operating income for the first six months in 2008 decreased 13.8% to $16.4 million, or $0.37 per share (diluted), compared to $19.1 million, or $0.43 per share (diluted), in the same period last year. Net income was $40.2 million, or $0.90 per share (diluted), a decrease of 14.9% as compared to $47.2 million or $1.05 per share (diluted) in the same period last year.
The Company’s financial position remains strong and net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter was $30.8 million. The Company ended the quarter with $271.9 million cash and cash equivalents on June 30, 2008 even after capital expenditures of $5.8 million and cash dividends of $9.8 million paid to shareholders of the Company and $6.0 million paid to minority shareholders of NTEEP.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $8.8 million, or $0.20 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP operating income of $12.0 million, or $0.27 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2008 decreased by 14.2% over the second quarter of 2007 to $9.1 million, or $0.20 per share (diluted), compared to $10.6 million, or $0.24 per share (diluted), in the second quarter of 2007.

Non-GAAP operating income for the first six months in 2008 was $17.6 million, or $0.40 per share (diluted), compared to non-GAAP operating income of $19.4 million, or $0.43 per share (diluted) for the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income for the first six months in 2008 was $18.3 million or $0.41 per share (diluted), a decrease of 4.2% as compared to $19.1 million, or $0.43 per share (diluted), for the same period last year.
COMPANY OUTLOOK
Recent global adverse economic conditions (which, we believe, have been primarily driven by the sub-prime crisis in the US) aggravated the Company’s results in the past quarter and may exacerbate the difficult business environment we currently face and could result in negative effects to our results of operations over the next several quarters. Additionally, we also face issues such as the continuing appreciation of the exchange rate of the renminbi to the US dollar, the effects of changing tax and labor laws in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), shortages of electricity supply and increases in overhead expenses resulting from inflation.
To respond to the challenges surfacing from the current business environment, management has continued to focus efforts to optimize operating efficiencies by realigning production capacity to higher margin product offerings and has sought to diversify Nam Tai’s customer base. Management believes that Nam Tai has begun to realize limited benefits from the Company’s simpler organizational structure implemented at the beginning of 2008, which management believes has fostered, and will continue to, foster a more efficient and effective exchange of know-how and technology among our group companies, reduced overhead costs and facilitated stronger management controls.
During the second quarter of 2008, the foundation of the first of the Company’s planned new factories in Wuxi in the Jiangsu Province of China was completed and the Company had, according to its schedule, selected a contractor for the mechanical and electrical construction required for the expansion project. Management is optimistic that Nam Tai will be in a position to begin mass production at the new Wuxi facility in early to mid-2009.

4. Claims against Tele-Art
We reported a total of approximately $2.9 million as other income in our financial statements for the second quarter of 2008. This amount represents the Company’s share of proceeds realized from the sales on behalf of Tele-Art’s liquidator of 477,319 Nam Tai shares for the benefit of unsecured creditors of Tele-Art and was paid to Nam Tai in settlement of amounts previously funded by Nam Tai in connection with Tele-Art’s liquidation proceedings and in partial satisfaction of judgments in favor of Nam Tai against Tele-Art. Total net proceeds from sales of such 477,319 shares were approximately $4.9 million, which together with approximately $300,000 in cash dividends that had accrued on the shares prior to their sale, were, in addition to the aforementioned payment to the Company, used as follows (amounts are approximate):
    $200,000 to satisfy claims of unsecured creditors of Tele-Art other than Nam Tai;
 
    $400,000 to satisfy the claims of Tele-Art’s former liquidator;
 
    $600,000 in payment of professional fees and expenses, including expenses relating to the sale of the shares, incurred through June 30, 2008; and
The balance of the sale proceeds, amounting $1,100,000 at June 30, 2008, have been reserved for on-going legal and professional costs expected in connection with efforts to locate and recover additional assets of Tele-Art’s liquidation estate.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE
Statements in this press release, such as management’s assessment of the effects of management’s efforts to improve Nam Tai’s profitability and profit margins, benefits expected from the Company’s internal reorganization that was completed at the end of 2007 and management’s estimates of when Nam Tai will be in a position to begin mass production at its new facility in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, PRC, 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 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 the actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release.
Whether the effects of management’s efforts to improve Nam Tai’s profitability have resulted or will result in improved profitability or profit margins or overcome the perceived onset of adverse global economic conditions generally or the ongoing weakness in the mobile phone supply chain, specifically, increasing taxes and labor costs from new tax and labor legislation in the PRC, whether material additional benefits expected from the Company’s internal reorganization that was completed at the end of 2007 will actually be realized, whether management’s estimates of when construction of Nam Tai’s new manufacturing facility in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, PRC will be available for production will prove true, and whether revenues expected when production at Nam Tai’s new Wuxi faciliy commences will materialize will depend upon future sales orders and on Nam Tai’s actual ability to contain manufacturing costs and the level of capital expenditures required for each of the planned expansion projects. Product orders and Nam Tai’s growth, operating income, available cash, cash flows and levels of capital expenditures may be adversely affected by numerous factors including Nam Tai’s dependence on a few large customers; intense competition in the electronics industry in which the Company participates, particularly in the mobile phone market that places 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 has shown no signs of abating, inflation in the PRC; the timing and amount of significant orders from customers; delays in product development and related product release schedules; obsolete inventory or product returns; warranty and other claims on products; technological shifts; the availability of competitive products of comparable quality at prices below Nam Tai’s prices; maturing product life cycles of the products manufactured by Nam Tai; concessions Nam Tai may make on product sale terms and conditions; implementation of operating cost structures that align with revenue growth, if any; the financial condition of Nam Tai’s customers and vendors; the availability and increasing costs of materials and other components needed to manufacture its products; 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 for completion of its expansion projects or continue existing operations, other unexpected project delays or unanticipated cost increases; risks of expanding into new areas of the PRC where Nam Tai’s has not yet conducted business, diversion of management’s attention to expansion and its management to new locations and to other business concerns; the impact of legislative actions, higher insurance costs and potential new accounting pronouncements; a worsening of relations between the PRC and the United States or Taiwan; the effects of terrorist activity and armed conflict such as disruptions in general economic activity and changes in Nam Tai’s operations and security arrangements; the effects of travel restrictions and quarantines associated with major health problems, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or Bird Flu, on general economic activity; or other changes in general economic conditions, including an exacerbation of the current global economic weaknesses that continue adversely affecting, 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, the 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, 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, 2007 as filed on March 17, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
