(1) The Company’s consolidated statements of income for years prior to 2009, as originally published, combined general and administrative

expenses and selling expenses as a single line item labeled “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. In the above presentation of
Selected Financial Data and in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Report, such expenses have been
presented separately to conform to the 2009 presentation.

(2) Working Capital represents the excess of current assets over current liabilities
(3) Noncontrolling interests for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 have been reclassified as equity in accordance with Financial Accounting

Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-45-16 “Consolidated-Overall-Other Presentation Matter-
Noncontrolling Interest in a Subsidiary.”

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 SEC, 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.

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 made to a small number of customers. During the years ended December 31,
2007, 2008 and 2009, sales to our customers accounting for 10% or more of our net sales for those years aggregated approximately 46.9%,
57.7% and 63.3%, respectively, of our net sales. During these same years, sales to our 10 largest customers accounted for 84.4%, 85.5% and
86.2%, respectively, of our net sales. We currently depend, and expect to continue to depend, upon a relatively small number of customers for
significant percentages of our net revenue and upon their growth, viability and financial stability. If our customers, particularly our major
customers, experience a decline in the demand for their products as a result of the prevailing economic environment or other factors, the
electronic manufacturing services, or EMS, that we provide to these customers could be curtailed or possibly even terminated. The loss of any
one of our largest customers or a substantial reduction in orders from any of them would adversely impact our sales and 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.

In addition, we generate significant account receivables in connection with the EMS we provide to our customers. If one or more of our
customers were to become insolvent or otherwise were unable to pay for the services provided by us on a timely basis, or at all, our operating
results and financial condition could be adversely affected. Such adverse effects could include one or more of the following: a further decline in
revenue or net income, a charge for bad debts, a charge for inventory write-offs, a decrease in inventory turns, an increase in days in inventory
and an increase in days in accounts receivable.

The continuing global economic weakness has adversely affected our revenues, net income and financial condition and can be expected
to continue to do so until economic conditions improve.

Our industry’s revenue declined in mid-2001 as a result of significant cut backs in customer production requirements, which was consistent
with the overall global economic downturn then affecting the world-wide economic climate. Another significant decline occurred beginning in
2008 and continues as consumers and businesses have postponed spending in response to job losses, tighter credit, negative financial news,
declines in income or asset values and general uncertainty about global economic conditions. The continuing global economic weakness
negatively impacted our operating results beginning in the second half of 2008 and continued through our year ended December 31, 2009. The
instability of the markets and weakness of the global economy could continue to effect adversely

the demand for our customers’ products,

the amount, timing and stability of their orders to us,

the financial strength of our customers and suppliers,

their ability or willingness to do business with us,

our willingness to do business with them,

our suppliers’ and customers’ ability to fulfill their obligations to us,

the ability of our customers, our suppliers or us to obtain credit, secure funds or raise capital, and

the prices at which we can sell our products and services.

In the prevailing uncertain economic environment, we cannot predict with reasonable accuracy future levels of demand for our customers’
electronics products and therefore cannot predict with reasonable accuracy the future level of demand for our services in manufacturing them.
If prevailing economic conditions continue to persist or worsen, our ability to manage inventory levels effectively and collect our receivables
could be impaired, our need for cash could increase, and our net revenue, gross margins or results of operations could continue to suffer.

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

Substantially all of our sales are made on purchase order bases, and we are not always able to predict with certainty the timing or magnitude
of these orders, especially under the current economic global downturn situation. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to receive any
orders from our customers, and our net sales will be harmed if we are unable to obtain a sufficient number of

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
orders from, perform a sufficient number of EMS for, or ship a sufficient number of products to, customers in each quarter. In addition, our
customers may cancel, change or delay product purchase orders with little or no advance notice to us. Also, we believe customers may be
increasing the number of vendors upon which they rely for manufacturing. 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:

the timing, cancellation or deferral of orders;

adverse changes in global economic conditions, particularly those affecting the electronics industry;

the level of capacity utilization of our manufacturing facilities and associated fixed costs;

the composition of the costs of revenue between materials, labor and manufacturing overhead;

changes in demand for our products or services;

changes in demand in our customers’ end markets, which affect the type of product and related margins;

our customers’ announcement and introduction of new products or new generations of products;

the efficiencies we achieve in managing inventories and fixed assets;

the degree to which we are able to utilize our available manufacturing capacity;

long, national official, seasonal breaks in the PRC, such as the Chinese New Year holidays in our first quarter and the National Day

Golden week in our fourth quarter, during which our ability to manufacture products, obtain components and materials from suppliers
and receive and process orders from customers are adversely affected;

fluctuations in materials costs and availability of materials;

the life cycles of our customers’ products;

variability in our manufacturing yields;

long lead times and advance financial commitments for our factories and equipment expenditures;

long lead times and advance financial commitments for components required to complete anticipated customer orders;

our effectiveness in managing manufacturing processes, including, interruptions or slowdowns in production and changes in cost and

availability of components;

changes in the specific products or quantities our customers order;

extended payment terms demanded by our major customers which, for competitive reasons, we choose to accommodate and result in

longer periods for us to receive payment and increase our accounts receivable;

customer insolvencies resulting in bad debt or inventory exposures that are in excess of our reserves;

charges to our operating results because of impairments to the values of long-lived assets or goodwill carried on our balance sheet; and

price reductions caused by competitive pressure.

The volume and timing of orders received during a quarter have been, even in normal economic climates, difficult to forecast and fluctuate
as a consequence of variation in demand for our customers’ products; our customers’ attempts to manage their inventory; electronic design
changes; changes in our customers’ manufacturing strategies; and acquisitions of or consolidations among our customers. Customers generally
order based on their forecasts. Further, we do not typically operate with any significant backlog in orders, and this makes it difficult for us to
forecast our revenues, plan our production and allocate resources for future periods (including for our capital expenditures). If demand falls
below such forecasts or if customers do not control inventories effectively, they may reduce, cancel or postpone shipments of orders.

Because of any of the above factors, our operating results 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 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.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
We face increasing competition, which has had and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our gross margins.

Although there are certain barriers to entry into the EMS industry, including technical expertise, substantial capital requirements, difficulties
relating to building customer relationships and a large and loyal 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. This intense competition has resulted in pricing pressures and a lower gross margins percentage in certain years. Our
gross margin percentage in 2009 matched our lowest gross margin percentage during the last five years. Our gross margin percentage during
each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2009 is shown in the chart below.

In the future, we may not be able to improve on, or even maintain, our gross margin percentage at the level of 2009.

In addition, consolidation in our industry results in larger and more geographically diverse competitors, which have significant combined
resources with which to compete against us, may permit the competitors involved to devote significantly greater resources to the expansion of
EMS that they offer and the marketing of existing competitive services to their larger installed customer bases or to new customers attracted to
larger global manufacturing organizations. We expect that competition will increase because of these and other industry consolidations and
alliances, as well as the emergence of new competitors.

If, as a result of these competitive forces, we are compelled to continue to lower our unit prices and are unable to offset the general trend of
decreases in gross margins percentage by increasing our sales volumes, our gross margins percentage will continue to decline, 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 soon 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, which we believe are our principal

Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing, regional shipping capabilities and logistics support
and personnel resources than we do and consolidations among our competitors could result in even larger competitors emerging. As a result,
we may be unable to compete successfully with these organizations in the future.

We expect to begin large-scale production of FPC boards and FPC subassemblies in the first half of 2010. We face intense competition from
large FPC board manufacturers located in Taiwan, China, Korea, Singapore, North America, Japan and Europe such as NOK Corporation,
Sony Chemical & Information Device Ltd., Nitto Denko (HK) Co. Ltd and Ichia Technologies Inc as well as from large, established EMS
providers, such as Flextronics International Ltd. and Foxconn Electronics, Inc., that have developed or acquired, or, like we have, are
developing their own FPC manufacturing capabilities, and have extensive experience in electronics assembly. Furthermore, many companies in
our target customer base are moving the design and manufacturing of their products to OEM, original engineering manufacturers, in Asia. Such
competition could pressure us to provide discounts or lower prices to gain or maintain 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. In addition, if we are unable to capture
significant original design manufactures (“ODMs”) as customers, we may be unable to sustain or grow our FPC business.

Cancellations or delays in orders could materially and adversely affect our gross margins and operating results.

Our sales to original equipment manufacturer customers (“OEMs”), 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-offs of obsolete inventory, write-downs of raw
materials inventory or the underutilization of our manufacturing capacity if, for example, we decline other potential orders because we expect
to use our capacity to produce orders that are later delayed, reduced or canceled.

Our customers face numerous competitive challenges, such as rapid technological change and short life cycles for their products, which
may materially adversely affect their business, and also ours.

Factors affecting the industries that utilize electronics components in general, and our customers specifically, could seriously harm our
customers and, as a result, us. These factors include:

(cid:129) The inability of our customers to adapt to rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which result in short product life
cycles.

(cid:129) The inability of our customers to develop and market their products, some of which are new and untested, the potential that our customers’
products may become obsolete or the failure of our customers’ products to gain widespread commercial acceptance.

(cid:129) Recessionary periods in our customers’ markets.

(cid:129) Increased competition among our customers and their respective competitors which may result in a loss of business, or a reduction in
pricing power, for our customers.

(cid:129) New product offerings by our customers’ competitors may prove to be more successful than our customers’ product offerings.

If our customers are unsuccessful in addressing these competitive challenges, or any others that they may face, then their business may be
materially adversely affected, and as a result, the demand for our services could decline.

Our business has been characterized by a rapidly changing mix of products and customers.

Since 2007, we have targeted markets that we believe offer significant growth opportunities and for which OEMs sell complex products that
are subject to rapid technological change. We believe that markets involving complex, rapidly changing products offer us opportunities to
produce products with higher margins because these products require higher value-added manufacturing services and may also include
advanced components. We expect that our current mix of customers and products 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 that our customers or we develop.

Our customers may not develop new products in a timely 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 business and operating results. Even if we develop capabilities to manufacture new products, there can be no guarantee that a market exists
or will develop 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 investments we made to our existing facilities in Shenzhen and the
investments we are making to the new factories we are planning to construct in Wuxi and Guangming Shenzhen, PRC to manufacture FPC
boards, FPC subassemblies and other products for which sales 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.

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 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 which, based on time to introduction, cost and performance with the
manufacturing capabilities of OEMs and competitive third-party 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 customers’ products;

delivery of efficient and cost-effective services; and

timely completion of the manufacture of new products.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
Our business is capital intensive and the failure to generate sufficient cash could require that we curtail capital expenditures.

To remain competitive, we must continue to make investments in capital equipment, facilities and technological improvements. 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, 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.

For certain customers, we are responsible for purchasing components used in manufacturing their products. We 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 components that we use in our business. If we were unable to continue to purchase components from
these limited source suppliers, our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected.

We may be required to write down our long-lived assets and a significant impairment charge would adversely affect our operating
results.

At December 31, 2009, we had $121.4 million in long-lived assets on our balance sheet. The valuation of our long-lived assets requires us to
make assumptions about future sales prices and sales volumes for our products. Our assumptions are used to forecast future undiscounted cash
flows. Given the current economic environment, uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of these conditions, forecasting future
business is difficult and subject to modification. If actual market conditions differ or our forecasts change, we may be required to reassess long-
lived assets and could record an impairment charge. Any impairment charge relating to long-lived assets would have the effect of decreasing
our earnings or increasing our losses in such period. If we are required to take a substantial impairment charge, our operating results could be
materially adversely affected in the periods and year in which the charge is incurred.

The PRC’s labor law could penalize Nam Tai if it needs to make additional workforce reductions.

In June 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC enacted new labor law legislation called the Labor Contract Law, which became
effective on January 1, 2008. It formalizes workers’ rights concerning overtime hours, pensions, layoffs, employment contracts and the role of
trade unions. Considered one of the strictest labor laws in the world, among other things, this new law requires an employer to conclude an
“open-ended employment contract” with any employee who either has worked for the employer for 10 years or more or has had two
consecutive fixed-term contracts. An “open-ended employment contract” is in effect a lifetime, permanent contract, which is terminable only in
specified circumstances, such as a material breach of the employer’s rules and regulations, or for a serious dereliction of duty. Under the new
law, downsizing by 20% or more of each individual entity may occur only under specified circumstances, such as a restructuring undertaken
pursuant China’s Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, or where a company suffers serious difficulties in production and/or business operations. Also, if
we lay off more than 20 employee at one time, we have to communicate with the labor union of our Company and report to the District Labor
Bureau, Although we have successfully reduced our headcount from various of our operating subsidiaries by approximately 1,900 in 2009 in
response to the current economic downturn, we may incur much higher costs under China’s labor laws if we are forced to downsize further and
accordingly, this new labor law may exacerbate the adverse effect of the economic environment on our financial results and financial condition.

Adverse market conditions in the electronics industry could reduce our future sales and earnings per share.

Recently, the business environment in the electronics industry has become challenging due to adverse worldwide economic conditions. The
conditions have resulted, and may result in the future, in our customers delaying purchases of the products we

manufacture for them and our customers placing purchase orders for lower volumes of products than previously experienced or anticipated. We
cannot accurately predict future levels of demand for our customers’ electronics products. Consequently, our past operating results, earnings
and cash flows may not be indicative of our future operating results, earnings and cash flows, which could be less than past results.

We are exposed to impact of global business trends in the mobile phone industry, which could result in even lower gross margins on
the mobile phone components and subassemblies we manufacture.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 65.3% of our sales were derived from subassemblies and components for mobile
phones and mobile phone accessories. Accordingly, any fluctuations in the size of the mobile phone market, market trends, increased
competition or pricing 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.

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 from rising fuel costs or general price
increases could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

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

As of December 31, 2009, approximately 99.9% of the net book value of our total property, 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 are
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;

limitations on the repatriation of funds because of foreign exchange controls;

exposure to political and financial instability;

currency exchange losses, collection difficulties or other country-specific 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.

Our operating results could be negatively impacted by seasonality.

Historically, our sales and operating results have been affected by seasonality. Sales of products and components 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
often higher during the second and third quarters in anticipation of the start of the school year and the Christmas buying season. Similarly,
orders for consumer electronics products have historically been lower in the first quarter from both the closing of our factories in China for the
Lunar New Year holidays and the general reduction in sales following the holiday season. These sales patterns may not be indicative of future
sales performance in future. For example, in 2009 as a result of the prevailing economic turmoil, many of our consumer products customers
either postponed or cancelled orders that had been scheduled for delivery for the Christmas holidays, which based on our historical seasonal
patterns was unusual.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
The long, national official, seasonal breaks in the PRC, such as the Chinese lunar New Year holidays occurring in our first quarter, and the
National Day Golden week occurring in our fourth quarter, typically affects adversely our ability to manufacture products, obtain components
and materials from suppliers and receive and process orders from customers and accordingly our results of operations during these period can
be expected to suffer.

Our results could be adversely affected with intensifying environmental regulations.

Our operations create environmentally sensitive waste, which involves the use and disposal of chemicals, solid and hazardous waste and
other toxic and hazardous materials used in the manufacturing process. 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 that causes serious environmental problems. The 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 subject to regulation previously. The costs
of complying with new or more stringent regulations could be significant. We are not aware of any claims related to environmental
contamination, and have not accrued any amounts to cover such claims.

Global environmental legislation continues to emerge. These laws place increased responsibility and requirements on the “producers” of
electronic equipment (i.e. the OEMs) and, in turn, their EMS providers and suppliers. On July 1, 2006, the European Union’s Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) came into effect. As a result, the use of lead and certain other specified substances in electronic products is
restricted in the European Union. Where appropriate, we have transitioned our manufacturing processes and interfaced with suppliers and
customers to review and secure RoHS compliance. In the event we are not in compliance with the RoHS requirements, we could incur
substantial costs, including fines and penalties, as well as liability to our customers. In addition, customers who were deemed exempt for
certain substances, or beyond the scope of the legislation, are beginning to be impacted by the changing supply chain. In this respect, we may
incur costs related to inventories containing restricted substances. There are also European Union requirements with respect to the collection,
recycling and management of waste electronic products and components. Under the European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (“WEEE”) directive, compliance responsibility rests primarily with OEMs rather than with EMS companies. However, OEMs may
turn to EMS companies such as Nam Tai for assistance in meeting their WEEE obligations. Failure by our customers to meet the RoHS or
WEEE requirements or obligations could have a negative impact on their businesses and revenues which would adversely impact our financial
results. Similar restrictions are being proposed or enacted in other jurisdictions, including China. We cannot currently assess the impact of
these legislations on our operations.

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,
including areas where our manufacturing facilities are located, 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 of it. 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.

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 insurance against various
risks, including a business interruption, fidelity and losses or damages to our buildings, machinery, equipment and inventories, the occurrence
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 we maintain. We also face exposure to product liability claims in the event that any of our products is alleged to have
resulted in property damage, bodily injury or other adverse effects. We have only limited product liability insurance covering some of our
products. Losses incurred or payments we may be required to make in excess of applicable insurance coverage or for uninsured events or any
material claim for which insurance coverage is denied, limited or is not available could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results or financial condition.

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 personnel.

Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers as well as upon our ability to attract and retain qualified
technical, manufacturing and marketing personnel. Generally, our executive officers are bound by employment or non-competition agreements.
However, we cannot assure you that we will be able retain our executive officers and we could be seriously harmed by the loss of any of our
executive officers. 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 maintain no key person insurance on our executive officers. As our operations grow, we also need to
recruit and retain additional skilled management personnel and if we are not able to do so, our business and our ability to grow could be
harmed.

The PRC 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 occupy our manufacturing facilities under China land use agreements with agencies of the PRC government and we occupy other
facilities under lease agreements with the relevant landlord. The performance of these agreements and the operations of our factories are
dependent on our relationship with the local 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 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 PRC government, and forces and factors unrelated to the legal merits of a particular matter or dispute may
influence their determination.

Political or trade controversies between China and the United States could harm our operating results or depress our stock price.

Differences between the United States and PRC governments on some political issues continue occasionally to color the relationship. These
occasional controversies could materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Political or trade friction between the two countries
could also materially and adversely affect the market price of our shares, whether or not they adversely affect our business.

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 PRC tax laws and heightened efforts by the China’s tax authorities to increase revenues have subjected us to greater taxes.

Under PRC law before 2008, we were afforded a number of tax concessions by, and tax refunds from, China’s tax authorities on a
substantial portion of our operations in China by reinvesting all or part of the profits attributable to our PRC manufacturing operations.
However, on March 16, 2007, the Chinese government enacted a unified enterprise income tax law or EIT, which became effective on
January 1, 2008. Prior to the EIT, , as a foreign invested enterprise, or “FIE”, located in Shenzhen of the PRC, our PRC subsidiaries enjoyed a
national income tax rate of 15% and were exempted from the 3% local income tax. The preferential tax treatment to our subsidiaries in the PRC
of qualifying for tax refunds as a result of reinvesting their profits earned in previous years in the PRC also expired on January 1, 2008. Under
the EIT, apart from those qualified as high-tech enterprises, most domestic enterprises and FIEs will be subject to a single PRC enterprise
income tax rate of 25% in year 2012 and afterward. For information on the new EIT rates as announced by the PRC’s State Council for the
transition period until year 2012, please see the table in Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in this Report. We base our tax
position upon the anticipated nature and conduct of our business and upon our

understanding of the tax laws of the various administrative regions and countries in which we have assets or conduct activities. However, our
tax position is subject to review and possible challenge by taxing authorities and to possible changes in law, which may have retroactive effect.
We cannot determine in advance the extent to which some jurisdictions may require us to pay taxes or make payments in lieu of taxes.

We appear to have been a passive foreign investment company for 2009 and based on our current operations and market conditions,
we may be a passive foreign investment company for 2010, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to some
U.S. investors.

Based upon an analysis of the book value of our assets and the total market value, or market cap, of our shares at the end of each quarter
during 2009, we appear to be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, by the United States Internal Revenue Service, or
IRS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The determination of whether we are a PFIC in any taxable year is made on an annual basis and
depends on the composition of our income and assets. Specifically, we will be classified as a PFIC if, after applying relevant look-through rules
with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries, either (i) 75% or more of our gross income for such taxable year is passive income, or
(ii) 50% or more of the average percentage of our assets during such taxable year either produce passive income or are held for the production
of passive income (the “PFIC asset test”). Accordingly, we could be classified as a PFIC.

We have not conducted an appraisal of the actual fair market value of our assets. If we conducted such appraisal, it might not result in a fair
market value of our assets being sufficiently greater than the aggregate value of our market cap to avoid our classification as a PFIC, and, even
if it did so result, such appraisal may not be enough to establish to the satisfaction of the IRS that the fair market value of our assets was
sufficiently greater than the aggregate value of our market cap in order to avoid our classification as a PFIC. Our characterization as a PFIC
during any year could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors. For example, if we were a PFIC in 2009 or in
any other taxable year, U.S. investors who owned our common shares generally would be subject to increased U.S. tax liabilities and reporting
requirements, and pledges of our common shares would be considered sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Given the complexity of the issues regarding our classification as a PFIC, U.S. investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors for
guidance as to our PFIC status. For further discussion of the adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences of from the classification as a PFIC
see “Taxation — United States Federal Income Tax Consequences beginning on page 66 of this Report.

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 (“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 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 and capital contributions, continues to be subject to limitations and requires the approval
of SAFE. 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.

Changes in currency exchange rates involving the Japanese yen or RMB have and could continue to significantly affect our financial
results.

Our financial results have been affected by currency fluctuations, resulting in total foreign exchange gains or losses during each of our three
fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 2009 as indicated in the following chart:

We sell most of our products in U.S. dollars and pay our expenses in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars and 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 our costs and expenses we pay, and material purchases we make, in Japanese yen and expenses we pay in RMB.

Approximately 11%, 16% and 18% of our total costs and expenses and 8%, 12% and 14% of our material costs were in Japanese yen during
the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, but sales made in Japanese yen accounted for only 7%, 9% and 12%
respectively, of our total net sales for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the
Japanese yen to the U.S. dollar affect our gross margins and financial results. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the
exchange rate of the Japanese yen to the U.S. dollar fluctuated above the rate at December 31, 2007, increasing approximately 24% from the
level at the end of December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the reverse occurred as the exchange rate of the Japanese
yen to the U.S. dollar fluctuated below the rate at December 31, 2008, decreasing approximately 2.9% from the level at the end of
December 31, 2008. These fluctuations resulted in an increase in our material costs during 2008 and a decrease in our material costs during
2009. However, the fluctuations did not have a material net impact on our financial results for either 2008 or 2009. A future appreciation of the
Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar would increase our costs when translated into U.S. dollars and could adversely affect our margins and
financial results unless we made sufficient sales in Japanese yen to offset against material purchases we made in Japanese yen.

Approximately 13%, 16% and 18% of our total costs and expenses and 4%, 6% and 9% of our material costs were in RMB during the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, 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 1.9% appreciation in the value of the RMB
against the U.S. dollars at the end of 2005 from the July 21, 2005. The following chart illustrates the fluctuations of the RMB to the US dollar
by showing the exchange ratio at the end of each quarter in the period from July 21, 2005 to December 31, 2009.

(1) RMB (yuan) to US dollar data presented in this chart were derived from the historical currency converter available at http://forex-

history net.

(2) If the end of a quarter fell on a Saturday or Sunday, datum is provided as of the previous Friday.

At the end of each of the three years after 2005, the RMB appreciated from the exchange ratio at the beginning of the year: approximately
3.3% at the end of 2006, approximately 6.4% at the end of 2007 and approximately 6.6% at the end of 2008.

The exchange ratio of RMB to the US dollar was 1:6.823 at December 31, 2008 compared to 1:6.827 at December 31, 2009, indicating that
there was virtually no change in the exchange ratio during 2009. The US dollar actually appreciated to the RMB, albeit very slightly, from
December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009, reversing the trend of RMB to US Dollar appreciation that has occurred since July 21, 2005.
However, because of the prevailing global economic recession, it is uncertain whether the relative stability in the currency exchange rates
experienced during 2009 can be expected to continue following an economic recovery. In any event, if the RMB resumes its appreciation to the
U.S. dollar, our operating costs would increase and our financial results would be adversely affected.

If we determined to pass onto our customers through price increases the effect of increases in the RMB and Japanese yen 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 and Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollars, our margins
and profitability would suffer.

We are exposed to intangible asset risk

We have recorded intangible assets, which are mainly represented by goodwill, which are attributable to business acquisitions and
reorganization. We are required to perform goodwill impairment test at least on an annual basis and whenever events or circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows. In 2008, after performing an impairment analysis, we have
written off about $17.3 million goodwill in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2009, goodwill with approximately $3.0 million remains on
our books, which continues to be subject to annual and periodic evaluations. We may determine that further write-down may be necessary,
which could adversely affect to our operating results and financial position.

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. 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 often 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, 2010, members of our senior management and Board of Directors as a group beneficially owned approximately 24.6% 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.

Implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system could disrupt our operations and cause unanticipated increases in our
costs.

During 2008 and 2009, several of our subsidiaries that are engaged in manufacturing began installing a new enterprise resource planning, or
ERP, software system which the Company acquired from SAP Hong Kong Co., Ltd. The ERP software system includes related integrated
applications for managing worldwide procurement and logistics business processes, customer relationships, product life-cycle and supplier
relationships.

We have invested, and will continue to invest, significant capital and human resources in the implementation of the ERP system, which may
be disruptive to our underlying business. Any disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design and implementation of the new ERP system,
particularly any disruptions, delays or deficiencies that impact our operations, could adversely affect our ability to process customer orders,
ship products, provide services and support to our customers, bill and track our customers, fulfill contractual obligations, file SEC reports in a
timely manner and otherwise run our business. Further, as we are dependent upon our ability to gather and transmit accurate information to key
decision makers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected if our database
infrastructure does not allow us to transmit accurate information, even for a short period of time. Even if we do not encounter these adverse
effects, the implementation of the new ERP system may be much more costly than we anticipated. If we are unable to successfully implement
the new ERP system as planned during 2010, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

We have experienced a number of challenges during the implementation of this project that have caused delays and affected our operations.
Although to date our financial results have not been materially affected by the implementation of our new ERP system, future disruptions
caused by its implementation could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Regulatory initiatives in the United States, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has increased, and may continue to increase the time and
costs of certain activities; and any further changes would likely further increase our costs.

In the United States, there have been regulatory changes especially in corporate governance practices of public bodies, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, changes in the continued listing rules of the New York Stock Exchange, new accounting pronouncements and
there may be new regulatory legislation, rule and accounting changes, which may have an adverse impact on our future financial position and
operating results. These regulatory changes and other legislative initiatives have made some activities more time-consuming and have increased
financial compliance and administrative costs of the companies that are subject to them, including foreign private issuers like Nam Tai having
securities traded in the United States and thereby subject to legislative and regulatory changes in the U.S. capital markets. While these costs are
no longer increasing, they may in fact increase in the future. In addition, any future changes in new regulatory legislation and rule and
accounting may cause our legal and financial accounting costs to increase.

Due to inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that our system of disclosure and internal controls and procedures will be
successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in informing management of all material information in a timely manner.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and
internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and

operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system reflects that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the company have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty and that breakdowns can occur simply because of error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

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 a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position and results of operations.

The consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in the periodic reports we file with the SEC are prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP involves making estimates, judgments
and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets (including intangible assets), liabilities and related reserves, revenues, expenses and
income. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to changes in the future, and any such changes could result in
corresponding changes to the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Any such changes could have a material adverse
effect on our financial position and results of operation.

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 and China. Substantially, all of our assets are located in
the PRC. In addition, most of our directors and executive officers reside within the PRC or Hong Kong, and substantially all of the assets of
these persons are located within the PRC or Hong Kong. It may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or
elsewhere outside the PRC or Hong Kong upon our directors, or executive officers, including effecting service of process with respect to
matters arising under United States federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. The PRC does not have treaties providing for the
reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States and many other countries. As a result, recognition and
enforcement in the PRC of judgments 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, including
monetary damages.

No treaty exists between Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands 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;

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 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 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;

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
the person against whom the judgment is given is subject to the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands court; and

the judgment is not on a claim for contribution in respect of damages awarded by a judgment, which does not satisfy the criteria stated

previously.

Enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong or the British Virgin Islands may also be limited or affected by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, liquidation, arrangement and moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and will be subject to a
statutory limitation of time within which proceedings may be brought.

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 we have never issued any preference shares and we have none outstanding, we could 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 incurred substantial expenses and costs in privatizing Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited. It may require a number
of years to realize the benefits from owning 100 percent of NTEEP.

In November 2009, we successfully completed the privatization of Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited, or NTEEP, by
tendering for and acquiring the 25.12 percent of NTEEP that we did not previously own, i.e., NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares, resulting in
NTEEP becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we expended approximately $44.3 million to
acquire NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares, including approximately $900,000 in professional fees and related expenses. We financed these
expenditures with internally generated funds.

Although we expect that our future financial results will benefit by our acquisition of the outstanding noncontrolling shares of NTEEP
because of cost savings and the elimination of sharing of NTEEP’s profits with the noncontrolling shareholders, the primary benefit expected
on our financial results will occur only to the extent NTEEP’s operations remain profitable. Even if NTEEP’s future operating results remain
profitable, a number of years may be required before the net income from NTEEP’s operations that was attributable to the noncontrolling
interests that we acquired and the overhead costs saved from NTEEP’s privatization total to an amount that equals the costs and expenses of
acquiring that interest.

Our status as a foreign private issuer in the United States exempts us from certain of the reporting requirements under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE limiting the protections and
information afforded to investors.

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 or disclosures required in a proxy statement in accordance with rules
therefor promulgated 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 whether our corporate governance
standards differ from those applied to US domestic issuers, see the discussion under “NYSE listed Company Manual Disclosure” in Item 6,
Directors and Senior Management of this Report.

Because of these exemptions, investors are not afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares
in public companies organized in the United States or traded on the NYSE. See footnote * on page 53 of this Report for

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
information and risks associated with disclosures we have made in this Report or may make in our proxy statements regarding compensation
we have paid to our directors and senior managers on an individual basis.

We have determined not to pay dividends in 2010 and may not pay dividends in the future.

Although we had a long history of dividend payment before 2009, we may not be able to declare them or may decide not to declare them in
the future. For example, in February 2009, our board of directors determined not to declare dividends in 2009 and in February 2010 our board
determined not to declare dividends in 2010. These decisions were made in order to maintain cash reserves during the continuing economic
turmoil. If dividends are to be declared in the future, we will determine the amounts and when they are to be declared. Even if dividends are
declared in the future, we may not continue them in any future period.

Payment of dividends by our subsidiaries in the PRC to our subsidiaries outside of the PRC and to us, as the ultimate parent, is subject
to restrictions under PRC law. If we determine to resume our payment of dividends to our shareholders, the PRC tax law could force
us to reduce the amount of dividends we have historically paid to our shareholders or possibly eliminate our ability to ever pay them
again.

Under PRC law, dividends may be paid only out of distributable profits. Distributable profits with respect to our subsidiaries in the PRC
refers to after-tax profits as determined in accordance with accounting principles and financial regulations applicable to PRC enterprises
(“China GAAP”) less any recovery of accumulated losses and allocations 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 distributable profits
under China GAAP differs in many respects from the calculation under U.S. GAAP. As a result, our subsidiaries in PRC may 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 make other distributions.

Prior to the EIT law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, PRC-organized companies were exempt from withholding taxes with
respect to earnings distributions, or dividends, paid to shareholders of PRC companies outside the PRC, such as was the case when our PRC
subsidiaries distributed portions of their earnings to our subsidiaries outside of the PRC. However, under the new EIT Law, dividends payable
to foreign investors which are derived from sources within the PRC will be subject to income tax at the rate of 5% to 15% by way of
withholding unless the foreign investors are companies incorporated in countries which have tax treaty agreements with the PRC and then the
rate agreed by both parties will be applied. For example, under the terms of a tax treaty between Hong Kong and the PRC that became effective
in December 2006, distributions from our PRC subsidiaries to our Hong Kong subsidiary, will be subject to a withholding tax at a rate ranging
from 5% to 10%, depending on the extent of ownership of equity interests held by our Hong Kong subsidiary in our PRC enterprises. As a
result of this new PRC withholding tax, amounts available to us in earnings distributions from our PRC enterprises will be reduced. Since we
derive most of our profits from our subsidiaries in PRC, the reduction in amounts available for distribution from our PRC enterprises could,
depending on the income generated by our PRC subsidiaries, force us to reduce, or possibly eliminate, the dividends we have paid to our
shareholders historically. For this reason, or other factors, we may decide not to declare dividends in the future. If we do pay dividends, we will
determine the amounts when they are declared and even if we do declare dividends in the future, we may not continue them in any future
period.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

Corporate Information

Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. was founded in 1975 and moved its manufacturing facilities to China in 1980 to take advantage of lower overhead
costs, lower material costs and competitive labor rates available and subsequently relocated to Shenzhen, China in order to capitalize on
opportunities offered in southern China. We were reincorporated as a limited liability International Business Company under the laws of the
British Virgin Islands in August 1987 (which was amended in 2004 as The British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004). Our
principal manufacturing and design operations are currently based in Shenzhen, China, approximately 30 miles from Hong Kong. Our PRC
headquarters are located in Shenzhen, China. Certain of our subsidiaries’ offices are located in Hong Kong, which provide us access to Hong
Kong’s infrastructure of communication and banking facilities. Our corporate administrative matters are conducted in the British Virgin Islands
through our registered agent, McNamara Corporate Services Limited, McNamara Chambers, P.O. Box 3342, Road Town, Tortola, British
Virgin Islands. In 1978, Mr. Koo, the founder of the Company, began recruiting operating executives from the Japanese electronics industry.
These executives brought years of experience in Japanese manufacturing methods, which emphasize quality, precision, and efficiency in
manufacturing. Senior and middle management currently include Japanese professionals who provide technical expertise and work closely with
both our Japanese component suppliers and customers.

Major Events during 2009 to Date

Developments in Planned Expansion

In 2009, we completed the construction of a new factory in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, near the East Coast of China, approximately 80 miles
Northwest of Shanghai. We built this plant to manufacture FPC boards followed by FPC subassemblies and then other electronic products and
assemblies such as LCD modules. We expect to begin mass production of FPC boards at our Wuxi factory

in the first half of 2010. Because of the current economic global downturn, our current plan is to postpone construction of two other new
manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen Guangming and in Wuxi until business conditions improve to a point when believe that demand for our
products justifies construction of additional facilities.

2009 Privatization of NTEEP

In February 2009, Nam Tai announced its intent to seek to privatize NTEEP, its Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed subsidiary (Stock Code:
2633), in which it held 74.88% of the issued share capital, by making a cash offer (“Nam Tai’s first offer”) aggregating approximately
$43 million for the shares of NTEEP it did not own, i.e., NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares. Completion of Nam Tai’s first offer was conditioned
upon Nam Tai acquiring at least 90% of the NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares. Nam Tai’s first offer was declared unsuccessful because as of the
closing date Nam Tai had received only approximately 88.5% of NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares. Shortly thereafter, however, complaints were
received from certain of NTEEP’s shareholders that indicated that additional NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares, enough to satisfy the 90%-
condition of Nam Tai’s first offer, had not been tendered because of broker omission and miscommunication from the Central Clearing and
Settlement System established and operated by Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited. Accordingly, after efforts to reopen Nam
Tai’s first offer were exhausted unsuccessfully, Nam Tai sought and obtained permission from the applicable Hong Kong regulatory authorities
to make a second offer (“Nam Tai’s second offer) to privatize NTEEP.

In June 2009, Nam Tai made its second offer, offering approximately $43.5 million in cash for the outstanding shares of NTEEP’s
noncontrolling shares. As was the case for Nam Tai’s first offer, completion of Nam Tai’s second offer and the resulting privatization of
NTEEP were conditional upon Nam Tai receiving tenders totaling at least 90% of the NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares. As of the closing date in
late July 2009 of Nam Tai’s second offer, tenders of approximately 96% of NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares had been received by Nam Tai.

During the period from the closing date of Nam Tai’s second offer and mid-November 2009, Nam Tai exercised the compulsory acquisition
rights available under Hong Kong law to acquire the remaining NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares that were not tendered in Nam Tai’s second
offer and that process was completed on November 12, 2009. NTEEP’s shares were withdrawn from listing on the Hong Kong Exchange on
November 13, 2009. As a result of Nam Tai’s second offer and the compulsory acquisition process that followed, NTEEP became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Nam Tai.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company expended approximately $44.3 million to acquire NTEEP’s noncontrolling shares,
including approximately $900,000 in professional fees and related expenses in connection with the first and second offers and the ultimately
successful privatization of NTEEP. Nam Tai financed these expenditures with internally generated funds.

Organizational Structure

On November 12, 2009, Nam Tai completed the privatization of NTEEP by tendering for and acquiring the 25.12 percent of NTEEP that
Nam Tai did not previously own, resulting in NTEEP becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nam Tai. For additional information on Nam
Tai’s privatization NTEEP, see Item 4. “Information on the Company — Major Events During 2009 to Date — 2009 Privatization of NTEEP”
immediately above.

Structure at December 31, 2009

The chart on the next page shows our organizational structure of our principal operating subsidiaries at December 31, 2009.

Restructuring in Process

The equity interests of Jetup and Zastron Shenzhen were transferred from Nam Tai Investment Limited to Namtai Shenzhen in
January 2009. Thereafter, we applied to the Chinese government (i) to merge Jetup into Zastron Shenzhen and (ii) to merge Wuxi Zastron Tech
into Wuxi Zastron Flex. Upon completion of these mergers, which we expect to be completed in the first half of 2010, Jetup and Wuxi Zastron
Tech will cease to exist, and their assets, liabilities and operations will be transferred to Zastron Shenzhen and Wuxi Zastron Flex, respectively.

The chart on the next page shows the pro forma organizational structure of our principal operating subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 as
though the mergers of Jetup into Zastron Shenzhen and Wuxi Zastron Tech into Wuxi Zastron Flex had been completed at that date:

Capital Expenditures

The amounts of our principal capital expenditures and divestitures (in thousands of dollars) in each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2009 are shown in the chart following immediately on the next page.

Our major capital expenditures in 2009 include:

$23.7 million for new factory construction in Wuxi;

$0.5 million for machinery mainly used for production of LCD modules;

$0.8 million for other capital equipment.

Our major capital expenditures in 2008 included:

$18.5 million for new factory construction in Wuxi;

$3.6 million for machinery and system improvements for our LCD factory;

$1.4 million for a new enterprise resource planning system; and

$3.9 million for other capital equipment.

Our major capital expenditures in 2007 included:

$4.8 million for machinery used mainly for bonding and testing;

$4.0 million for machinery used mainly for LCD products;

$2.4 million for project of FPC board manufacturing in existing site; and

$2.6 million for other capital equipment.

Capital expenditures we currently have planned for 2010 include:

$3.2 million for machinery used mainly for production of LCD and FPC Modules;

$0.9 million for leasehold improvement regarding merge of two subsidiaries; and

$0.3 million for other capital equipment.

Our plans for capital expenditures are subject to change from time to time and could result from, among other things, our consummation of
any significant acquisition or strategic investment opportunities, which we regularly explore, and prevailing economic conditions.

Business 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
subassemblies, including FPC board, FPC board subassemblies, LCD panels, LCD modules, TFT display module, RF modules, DAB modules,
internet radio subassemblies, CMOS imaging sensors modules and PCB subassemblies. The components, modules and subassemblies are used
in numerous electronic products, including mobile phones, IP phones, notebook computers, digital cameras, electronic toys, and handheld
video game devices, and learning devices. We also manufacture finished products, including mobile phone accessories, home entertainment
products, and 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 software, firmware,
and hardware development, mechanical design, parts and components source and purchasing, product industrialization, and assembly into
finished products or electronic subassemblies with full quality testing and assurance. These services are value-added and assist us in obtaining
new business but do not represent a material component of our revenues. We also provide early supplier involvement in design service to
develop proprietary products that are sold by our OEM customers using their brand name.

Our Customers

Historically, we have had substantial recurring sales from existing customers. Approximately 99.8% of our 2009 net sales came from
customers that also used our services in 2008. While we seek to diversify our customer base, a small number of customers currently generate a
significant portion of our sales. Sales to our 10 largest customers accounted for 84.4%, 85.5% and 86.2% of our net sales during the years
ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. Sales to customers accounting for 10% or more of our net sales in the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2008 or 2009 (listed in order of our net sales during 2009) were as follows:

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 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 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

Our operations are organized into three reportable segments, consisting of consumer electronics and communication products (“CECP”),
telecommunication components assembly (“TCA”), and LCD products (“LCDP”). The dollar amounts and percentages of our net sales by
reportable segment and product category for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 were as follows ($ in thousands):

Our Manufacturing and Assembly Capabilities

We utilize the following production techniques:

Chip On Film, or COF

Chip On Glass, or COG

Chip On Board, or COB

is an assembly method for bonding integrated circuit chips and other components onto a flexible
printed circuit. This process allows for greater compression of the size of a product when assembled
enabling the production and miniaturization of small form factor devices like cellular phones, PDAs,
digital cameras and notebook PCs. As of December 31, 2009, we had 16 COF machines. These
machines connect the bump of large scale integrated, or LSI, driver onto FPC pattern with
anisotropic conductive film, or ACF. These COF machines have the ability to pitch fine to 38
micrometers and a total production capacity of up to 4,400,000 chips per month.

is a process that connects integrated circuits directly to LCD panels without the need for wire
bonding. We apply this technology to produce advanced LCD modules for high-end electronic
products, such as cellular phones and PDAs. As of December 31, 2009, we had 23 COG lines in our
principal manufacturing facilities. These machines provide an LCD of dimension of up to 200
millimeters (length)x 150 (width)x 2.2 (height), a process time of five seconds per chip, a pin pitch
fine to 38 micrometers and a total production capacity of up to 4,200,000 chips per month. During
2005, our subsidiary, Jetup Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (“Jetup”) also started manufacturing
COG LCD modules. As of December 31, 2009, Jetup had 18 COG lines and is capable of bonding 5
million units of COG LCD modules a month. They are able to bond LCD panels up to sizes of 200
millimeters x 200 millimeters x 2.2 millimeters thick, with an accuracy of five microns’ tolerance,
in a cycle time of 12-15 seconds per piece.

Super-Twisted Nematic, or STN,
Displays

is an advanced technology used to connect PCBs and large-scale integrated circuits with a large
number of connectors. We use this technology to manufacture complex miniaturized products, such
as high-memory PDAs. As of December 31, 2009, we had three OLB machines. The machines
include multi-pinned tape carrier packaged large scale integrated circuit, or TCP LSIC, bonding
which is up to 280 pins, which also provide ultra thin assembly with module thickness to around one
millimeter and high accuracy bonding with pin pitch to 100 micrometers. The total production

is an advanced heat sealing technology that connects a liquid crystal display component with an
integrated circuit in very small LCD modules, such as those used in cellular phones and pagers. As
of December 31, 2009, we had 28 systems of TAB with ACF machines. The machines provide
process time of 10 to 25 seconds per component, a pin pitch fine up to 150 micrometers and a total
production capacity of up to 5,876,000 components per month. Since 2005, Jetup also started
manufacturing TAB LCD modules. As of December 31, 2009, Jetup had four TAB lines and is
capable of bonding 2,000,000 pieces of TAB LCD modules a month. They are able to bond LCD
panels up to sizes of 120 millimeters x 120 millimeters x 2.2 millimeters thick, with an accuracy of
10 microns’ tolerance in a cycle time of 20-25 seconds per piece.

allows us to connect LCD displays to PCBs produced by COB and outer lead bonding that enables
very thin connections. This method is highly specialized and is used in the production of finished
products such as PDAs. As of December 31, 2009, we had eight machines utilizing FPHS
technology. The machines provide a pin pitch fine to 260 micrometers and a total production
capacity of up to 268,000 units per month.

is a process by which electronic components are mounted directly on both sides of a printed circuit
board, increasing board capacity, facilitating product miniaturization and enabling advanced
automation of production. We use SMT for products such as mobile display module and electronic
linguistic devices. As of December 31, 2009, we had 37 SMT productions lines. The production
time per chip ranges from 0.055 second per chip to 0.8 second per chip and high precision ranging
from +/-0.05 millimeter to +/-0.1 millimeter. The components size ranges from 0.4 millimeter
(length)x 0.2 millimeter (width) to 55 millimeters (length)x 55 millimeters (width). Ball grid array,
or BGA, ball pitch is 0.4 millimeter and ball diameter is 0.2 millimeter. Flip Chip, our smallest
lead/bump pitch, is 250/240UM and our smallest components spacing is 0.15 micrometers. The total
production capacity is over 1 billion resistor capacitor chips per month.

is a type of monochrome passive matrix LCD capable of providing higher information content to
display systems and are typically found in applications such as cordless phones, mobile phones,
MP3 players, pocket games and PDAs. Our Jetup began producing STN LCDs in 2002. Since 2005,
our Jetup upgraded its two existing twisted nematic, or TN type, LCD lines to STN LCD lines. TN
displays rotate the director of the liquid crystal by 90°, but STN LCD displays employ up to a 270°
rotation. This extra rotation gives the crystal a much steeper voltage-brightness response curve and
also widens the angle at which the display can be viewed before losing much contrast. As of
December 31, 2009, our Jetup was using three automated STN lines capable of producing both TN
and STN type LCDs with capacity of 150,000 pairs of glass (each sheet of glass of 360 millimeters
x 400 millimeters in size) panels per month.

LCD Back-End

is a main manufacturing process for LCD panels, and is regarded as part of the process for its
finished product LCD modules. It includes the precise pure water cleaning process, scribing of LCD
glass, liquid crystal insertion, sealing process and breaking process, then turns the LCD mother glass
into LCD panels. Our machines can cope with 0.2millimeters + 0.2millimeters LCD mother glass up
to dimension 550 millimeters x 670 millimeters, with cutting tolerance +/-0.1 millimeters.

As of December 31, 2009, we had eight clean rooms at our principal manufacturing facilities, which housed COB, COF, COG and Chip
Scale Package capabilities for CMOS sensor modules, electronic calculators, digital camera accessories, LCD modules manufacturing. At the
same date, we also have four clean rooms at another of our factories in Shenzhen, which we use to manufacture LCD panels and modules.

A cleanroom is an environment, typically used in manufacturing or scientific research, which has a low level of environmental pollutants
such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors. In other words, a cleanroom has a controlled level of contamination that
is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. Of our 12 clean rooms at December 31, 2009, four were class
ten thousand, six were class thousand and two were class one hundred with one of them use for cleaning the clothes to be used in clean room.

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.

FPC Boards. Flexible printed circuit boards or FPC Boards are applied to various electronic devices because of their mechanical
characteristics and are indispensable to electronic devices requiring system miniaturization, weight reduction and multi-functionality. FPCs are
employed in a wide variety of applications due to the nature of their characteristics. Examples of applications for FPCs include cell-phone
liquid crystal display enclosure, hinge parts, keypad, battery enclosure and interface components. FPCs fall into three broad categories: single-
sided flexible printed wiring boards, double-sided flexible printed wiring boards and multilayer flexible printed boards. Single sided and double
sided FPCs are widely employed for personal computers, hard disk drives and cell phones.

We buy a portion of FPC boards we use in the manufacture of our products from suppliers and attach electronic components to the
purchased FPC boards in accordance with our customer’s specifications and produce FPC subassemblies. Since 2007, we also began
manufacturing these devices at our existing facility in Shenzhen to vertically integrate this process by producing FPC boards internally. We
expect to begin large-scale manufacturing of FPC boards, flexible printed circuits boards and FPC subassemblies at our recently completed
factory in Wuxi by the end of the first half of 2010.

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.

All of our existing manufacturing facilities are certified under ISO 9001 quality standards, the International Organization for
Standardization, 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 certifications under an ISO 9001 quality
standard demonstrate that our manufacturing operations meet the most demanding of the established world standards. All of our manufacturing
facilities are also certified under an ISO 14001 environmental management standard, which was published in 2004 to provide a structured basis
for environmental management control.

In January 2007, Namtai Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. or Namtai Shenzhen, were certified under the standard of Occupational Health and
Safety Assessment Series, or OHASA, 18001:1999. OHASA 18001 is an international occupational health and safety management system
specification. This demonstrated that Namtai Shenzhen had a recognized international standard in management system on occupational health
and safety.

As at the end of January 2007 and November 2008, Jetup and Zastron Electronic (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., or Zastron Shenzhen, respectively
were certified with the compliance of the Technical Specification 16949, or TS16949. TS16949 is an automotive sector-specific quality
management system requirement that uses ISO 9001: 2000 (verbatim) as its base and is required for supplying products to OEMs in the
automotive industry.

In addition, Namtai Shenzhen was certified under International Council of Toy Industries’, or ICTI, program in May 2007 which
demonstrated that Namtai Shenzhen is operated in compliance with the code of business practices standard in the toy industries with fair labor
treatment and care of employees’ health and safety.

In November 2007, Namtai Shenzhen also completed an audit for the International Electrotechnical Commission, or IEC, Quality
Assessment System for Electronic Components (IECQ) - Electrical and Electronic Components and Products — Hazardous Substance Process
Management System Requirements and received IECQ 080000 certification in January 2008. In May 2008, Zastron Shenzhen was also
certified under QC080000. Such certification demonstrates that the control on electrical and electronic components products hazardous
substance process management meets the demanding of world standard of the IEC.

In July 2008, Namtai Shenzhen, was certified under the Quality Management System Standard: ISO 13485:2003, this certificate is valid for
manufacture of PCB assemblies for use in Ophthalmic Diagnostic Imaging Systems, which demonstrated that Namtai Shenzhen runs in
compliance with the code of business practices standard in the medical instrument industries.

In September 2008, Namtai Shenzhen was certified under Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, or C-PTAT, program which
demonstrate that Namtai Shenzhen can speed up the processing of cargo.

In October 2008, Zastron Shenzhen, was certified under Sony OEM Green Partner which demonstrated that the environmental management
system of Zastron Shenzhen has met the requirement of Sony Green Partner Program. Sony Green Partner Program is established by Sony who
requires its supplier to strictly comply with ISO14001 and to review and strengthen their company’s environmental management based on this
standard.

In December 2009, our new factory in Wuxi was audited for compliance of ISO 9001/TS16949. We expect to receive ISO 9001 certification
by time we begin large scale production at this facility in 2010. We expect to receive TS16949 certification after one year following the
beginning of production of automotive products at this facility. In 2010, we plan to apply for other certifications for this plant, including
QC08000 and ISO 14001.

We employ the Six Sigma approach in various projects that we run each year. In 2004, our principal manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen
were 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 by minimizing manufacturing
defects. This results in improved profit margins and higher competitiveness.

Our Suppliers

We purchase thousands of different component parts from numerous suppliers, which we have approved based on their quality, cost and
services. For some components, we have chosen, for strategic considerations, to rely on a single supplier. We purchase components from
suppliers located in Japan, China and other countries. Our general practice is to purchase components upon receipt of purchase orders from
customers and pursuant to the customer’s authorization with agreed liability for purposes of minimizing our inventory risk by ordering
components and parts only to the extent necessary to support the order. However, we may occasionally purchase raw materials or request
suppliers to maintain buffer stock of certain supplies for particular customers based on such customer’s rolling forecasts in order to shorten the
lead-time for key materials.

The major component parts we purchase include the following:

Integrated circuits or “chips”, most of which we purchase presently from Cambridge Silicon Radio Plc Ltd., Qualcomm CDMA

Technologies Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., Toshiba Electronics (Asia) Ltd., Ricoh Company Ltd, ATI

(cid:129)
Technologies Ltd, Rohm Electronics (HK) Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics., Ltd., Sharp Electronics (M) SDN.BHD and certain of their

affiliates;

LCD panels, which are available from many manufacturers. Since 2007, we have purchased LCD panels from Suzhou Epson Co. Ltd.,

Safaring Technology Co. Ltd., Toshiba Matsushita Display Co. Ltd., Shantou Goworld Display (Plant II) Co. Ltd., and VBest
Electronics Ltd.;

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 mainly used to provide connections for electronic components and as a substrate to support these
electronic devices. Since 2007, we have purchased FPC boards mainly from Sony Chemical Co., Ltd., Nitto Denko (HK) Co. Ltd. and
NOK Mektec Corp. 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 purchase LEDs primarily from Nichia Corporation, Everlight Electronics Co.,
Ltd.; and

CMOS imaging sensors, which we purchase mainly from Omnivision Technologies Inc., Micron Technology Inc. and Magnachip

Semiconductor Ltd. Solar cells and batteries, which are standard “off-the-shelf” items that we generally purchase in Hong Kong from
agents of Japanese manufacturers or directly from companies in China; various mechanical components such as plastic parts, cables,
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; and various acoustic components, which we mainly sourced from Wanstonic Electronics Ltd, Yinpin
Electronics (SZ) Co. Ltd., Goertek Technology Co. Ltd., Shandong Gettop Acoustic Co. Ltd., Vansonic Enterprise co. Ltd., where the
manufacturing base is principally in China.

Whenever practical, we will consider using domestic China suppliers who are often able to provide their products at lower cost than
overseas suppliers and with shorter lead times.

From time to time, there may be certain components subjected to limited allocation by certain of our suppliers due to industry-wide shortage
as a result of fast growing global demand.

In some cases, supply shortages and delays in deliveries of particular components could result in curtailed production, or delays in
production. These supply shortages have contributed to an increase in our inventory levels and reduction in our margins. We expect that
occasional component shortages and delays in deliveries of some components will continue to occur. If we are unable to procure sufficient
quantity components in a timely fashion, we may experience production 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, digital signal processor, or DSP, LCD driver
IC, semiconductors, FPC boards, LCD panels, TFT panels, and batteries. At times, the pricing and availability of these raw materials can be
volatile, attributable 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 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 provide assurances, 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 in
the price or availability 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 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.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
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 enforce our contractual rights immediately 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.

In general, we plan for and purchase the materials and components that we will need to manufacture customers’ products when we receive
the purchase order and specifications from the customer. We are assisted in this process by our ERP software system which several of our
manufacturing subsidiaries began installing during 2008 and 2009. The ERP software system includes related integrated applications for
managing worldwide procurement and logistics business processes, customer relationships, product life-cycle and supplier relationships and
helps us and our customers assure that the materials and components needed to manufacture our customers’ products arrive at our
manufacturing facilities on time to meet production and product delivery schedules. Since our customers are involved in the procurement and
delivery of the materials and components we use to manufacture their products, our customers’ assume the risk of delays or failures of delivery
of such materials and components..

We did not suffer a material loss resulting from the cancellation of OEM customer orders for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 or
2009.

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 products and technologies that benefit our customers and position us as a strong EMS
provider with the ability to design and develop products.

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 evaluation procedure. Upon approval, we assign a salesperson to the customer.

Seasonality

Historically, our sales and operating results have often been affected by seasonality. Sales of products and components 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, consumer electronics products have historically been lower in the first quarter resulting from both the closing of our factories in
China for the Lunar New Year holidays and the general reduction in sales following the holiday season.

The long, national official, seasonal breaks in the PRC, such as the Chinese lunar New Year holidays occurring in our first quarter, and the
National Day Golden week occurring in our fourth quarter, typically affects adversely our ability to manufacture products, obtain components
and materials from suppliers and receive and process orders from customers and accordingly our results of operations during these period can
be expected to suffer.

Transportation

Transportation of components and finished products to and from Shenzhen is by truck. Component parts purchased from Japan, Korea,
Singapore and elsewhere of the world are generally shipped by air and delivered to our designated forwarders’ warehouse located in Hong
Kong. To date, we have not been materially impacted by any transportation problems. However, transportation difficulties affecting air cargo
or shipping, such as an extended closure of ports that materially disrupt the flow of our customers’ products into the United States, could
significantly and adversely influence our sales and margins if, as a result, our customers delay or cancel orders or seek concessions to offset
expediting charges they incur pending resolution of the problems causing the port closures.

Competition

The electronic manufacturing services we provide are available from many independent sources as well as from our current and potential
customers with internal manufacturing capabilities. The following table identifies those companies who we believe are our principal

Many of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, manufacturing, regional shipping capabilities and international
logistics support and personnel resources than we do. As a result, Nam Tai positions itself as a competitive-priced EMS with niches in key
product and technology categories focusing on advanced manufacturing technique and processes as well as design and development
capabilities in these niche areas to compete successfully against with these organizations for the future.

When we begin production of FPC boards and increase production of FPC subassemblies, we expect to face intense competition from large
FPC manufacturers located in Taiwan, China, Korea, Singapore, North America, Japan and Europe such as NOK Corporation, Sony Chemical
& Information Device Ltd., Nitto Denko (HK) Co. Ltd and Ichia Technologies Inc, as well as from large, established EMS providers such as
Flextronics International Ltd. and Foxconn Electronics, Inc. that have developed or acquired, or, like us, are developing, their own FPC boards
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.

(1) Only the PRC government and peasant collectives may own land in China. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located on land in
which we have entered into a land lease agreement with the PRC government that gives us the right to use the land for 50 years.
Similarly, the lands which we have acquired in Wuxi and Guangming Shenzhen will be by 50-year land lease. Our understanding of the
practice as it exists today; at the expiration of the land lease, we may be given the right to renew the lease. For our other facilities, we
have entered into factory building lease agreements with peasant collectives or other companies for 10 years or less.

(2) Our principal manufacturing facilities occupy two parcels of land with 50-year land leases that we acquired in 1993 and 1999,

respectively.

(3) Construction was completed in 2009 and we currently expect to begin mass production at this factory by the end of the first half of 2010.
(4) Raw land. Because of the current economic global downturn, our current plan is to postpone construction on these parcels until business

conditions improve to a point when believe that demand for our products justifies construction of additional facilities.

Hong Kong

In October 2005, to align with the Company’s China-focused operations, Nam Tai restructured its subsidiaries to keep a minimal workforce
in Hong Kong in order to support those subsidiaries that are listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and to resolve outstanding legal proceedings
and tax matters in Hong Kong. To achieve a more favorable and competitive cost structure, the Company relocated from the approximately
24,200 square feet of office space at Shun Tak Centre, or Shun Tak office, to the approximately 3,400 square feet office space at Suites 1506-
1508, One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, in the Central district in Hong Kong, or One Exchange Square. In April 2006, the Company
sold the Shun Tak office for approximately $20.2 million and a recognized gain of approximately $9.3 million. In June 2008, with the expiry of

the lease at the One Exchange Square, the Company relocated to Units 5811-12, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, a premise also in the
Central district in Hong Kong with approximately 3,760 square feet.

Until 1996, we owned approximately ten acres of land in Hong Kong carried on our books at a cost of approximately $523,000. Between
1997 and 2007, we sold approximately 8.2 acres of this land for net proceeds of $7.77 million; realizing a gain of $7.51 million. We plan to sell
the remaining land and, pending the sale, to continue to carry the land at a carrying value of approximately $92,000 on our books.

Shenzhen, China

Principal Manufacturing Facilities

Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in Baoan County, Shenzhen, China. In December 1993, we acquired a 50-year lease for
the land on which these facilities are located and initially built a manufacturing facility consisting of approximately: 160,000 square feet of
manufacturing space, 39,000 square feet of office space, 212,000 square feet of dormitories, 26,000 square feet of full service cafeteria,
recreation facilities and a swimming pool. Over the years beginning in November 2000, we have made several additions to these facilities,
including:

a five-story factory with approximately 138,000 square feet of production facilities, including one floor for assembling, one floor of

office space, one floor for warehouse use and two floors of class thousand clean room facilities, totaling approximately 626,000 square
feet of manufacturing space, when construction was completed in October 2002;

an additional factory, consisting of approximately 265,000 square feet of space, completing construction in December 2004 on vacant

land of approximately 280,000 square feet (approximately 6.5 acres) bordering on our existing facilities that we purchased in
July 1999, and

two additional blocks of dormitories , which we completed during 2005.

With these additions, our principal manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen total approximately 557,835 square feet of manufacturing space,
87,460 square feet of offices, 350,585 square feet of dormitories and 75,355 square feet of cafeteria space, and include a full services
recreational building.

LCD Factory

The manufacturing facility of our subsidiary, Jetup Electronic (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. is located in Baoan County, Shenzhen, China and
consists of 383,550 square feet of manufacturing space, 32,000 square feet of offices, 231,260 square feet of dormitories, and 36,810 square
feet of cafeteria and recreational spaces. We have used this facility to manufacture LCDs and LCD modules. When the merger of Jetup into
Zastron Shenzhen is completed, we will continue to use this facility to manufacture LCDs, but plan to move our Shenzhen production of LCD
modules to our principal Shenzhen manufacturing facility, which is utilized by Zastron Shenzhen.

Wuxi Factory

We began construction of our new Wuxi manufacturing facility in January 2008 on approximately 470,000 square feet of land we acquired
in 2006. We completed construction in 2009 and by the end of 2009 we had installed machinery and equipment to manufacture FPC boards and
FPC subassemblies, providing approximately 150,700 square feet of space to manufacture FPC Boards and FPC subassemblies. The Wuxi new
factory is earmarked first to manufacture FPC boards, followed by FPC subassemblies and then other electronic products assemblies such as
LCD modules. We currently expect to begin mass production at this factory by the end of the first half of 2010.

Recently Closed Facilities

Our office lease on our Macao facilities expired in July 2009 and we no longer have operations and are in the process of formally dissolving
the companies we used to conduct business in Macao.

We closed our sales office in Japan in January 2010. Our total expense of maintaining our Japanese sales office during 2009 was
approximately $431,000.

Future Expansion

We own the land use rights to two other parcels of raw land which we eventually plan to use for expansion of our manufacturing facilities.
One of the properties is a second parcel in Wuxi consisting of approximately 515,000 square feet that we acquired at the same time that we
acquired the parcel upon which our new Wuxi factory is situated. The other property, which we acquired in 2005, consists of approximately
1.3 million square feet of land in Guangming Hi-Tech Industrial Park, Shenzhen, PRC, approximately 30 minutes driving distance from our
existing facilities in Shenzhen. Because of the current economic global downturn, our current plan is to postpone construction on these parcels
until business conditions improve to a point when believe that demand for our products justifies construction of additional facilities.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Except for statements of historical facts, this section, particularly (but not limited to) statements under the heading entitled “Trend
Information,” contains forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking
words including “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plans,” “seek”, “estimate”, “intends”, “should”, or “may”. Forward-looking statements are
not guarantees of our future performance or results and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-
looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under the section of this Report entitled Item 3, Key Information —
Risk Factors. This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included as Item18 of this Report.

Operating Results

Overview

We assist our OEM customers in the design and development of their products and furnish full turnkey services with our state-of-art
manufacturing technologies. Our services include software development services, firmwave, and mechanical design, parts and components
purchasing, product industrialization, and assembly into finished products, or electronic subassemblies with full quality testing and assurance.
These services are value-added and assist us in obtaining new business. We are also capable to provide ODM services, in which we design and
develop proprietary products specified by our customers 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 predict our revenues
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 percentage between 2005 and 2009. 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 subassemblies, like
LCD modules, RF modules and FPC subassemblies. Despite the lower gross margin on more complex products, we believe the opportunity for
growth in the demand for these complex products justifies the shift in our strategic focus. Furthermore, we believe 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 some 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, RF modules, and color
and TFT LCD 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

RF modules, and color and TFT LCD modules, we may not be able to improve or maintain our gross margin for these products. Furthermore,
in 2009, we continue to develop and produce FPC boards in our existing manufacturing facilities. The FPC boards are manufactured by
subjecting the base materials to multiple processes, such as drilling, screening, photo imaging, etching, plating and finishing.

The increased costs associated with developing and manufacturing the existing 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
subassembly. The key components subassembly business generally accounts for relatively lower gross profit margin business. During 2009, the
significant drop in the unit price of key component subassemblies for mobile phone further affected our gross profit margins adversely.

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.

Under current Cayman Islands law, NTEEP is not subject to profit tax in the Cayman Islands as it has no business operations in the Cayman
Islands. However, it may be subject to Hong Kong income taxes as described below since it is 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 17.5% for 2007, and 16.5% for both 2008 and 2009 to the estimated taxable income earned in or derived from Hong Kong during
the applicable period.

For 2007, the basic corporate tax rate for FIEs in China, such as our PRC subsidiaries, was 33% (30% state tax and 3% local tax). However,
because all of our PRC subsidiaries are located in Shenzhen and are involved in production operations, they qualified 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 did not assess any local tax.
Moreover, several of our subsidiaries in China are entitled to certain tax benefits and certain of our subsidiaries in China have qualified for tax
refunds as a result of reinvesting their profits earned in previous years in China.

However, in March 2007, the PRC National People’s Congress promulgated the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law. This replaces the
foreign enterprise income tax law and takes effect from January 1, 2008. Under the new law, all enterprises (both domestic companies and
FIEs) will have one uniform tax rate of 25%. However, PRC government allows for a five years transition period and FIEs are expected to
increase their 15% tax rate gradually to 25% in year 2012. Besides, the new EIT Law does not have provision for tax refunds through capital
injections by the Company’s share of profits from FIEs. Thus, the Company does not expect any further benefit will be obtained after
withdrawal of this tax concession from year 2008. In addition, there will be no reduction in the tax rate for FIEs which export 70% or more of
the production value of their products from year 2008.

Efforts by the Chinese government to increase tax revenues could result in decisions or interpretations of the tax laws by the China’s tax
authorities that are unfavorable to us and which increase our future tax liabilities, or deny us expected refunds. Changes in PRC tax laws or
their interpretation or application may subject us to additional PRC taxation in the future. For example, following the implementation of the
EIT Law effective January 1, 2008, the State Council announced the transition rules for preferential tax policies (Guofa [2007] No.39) of
January 2, 2008, for eligible enterprises previously subject to a 15% tax rate or 24% tax rate. During the transitional period, the new enterprise
income tax rates were/are:

Our effective tax rates were 4%, 7% and 172% for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. The
significant factors that caused our effective tax rates to differ from the applicable statutory rates were as follows:

Applicable statutory tax rates
Effect of different between Hong Kong and PRC tax rates applied to Hong Kong income
Effect of tax holidays and tax incentives
Effect of change in tax law
Change in valuation allowance
Deferred tax liability on withholding tax on undistributed profits of PRC subsidiaries
Effect of loss/income for which no income tax benefit/expense is receivable/payable

In the past, an element of our strategy was to make investments in companies that provided 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 accounted for investments of less than 20% at fair value and for investments between 20% and 50% under the
equity method. We have had no material investments that involved transactions affecting our financial statements since April 2007, at which
time we sold our entire remaining investment in TCL Corporation for an aggregate of approximately $54 million, and recorded a gain of
approximately $28 million, net of the portion attributable to noncontrolling interests. For additional information on the events leading to this
transaction, see Note 6(a) of Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated 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” of our
consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable balance is recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from customers. Because the
Company’s accounts receivable are typically unsecured, the Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of accounts based on a
combination of factors, including a particular customer’s ability to pay as well as the age of the receivables. To evaluate a specific customer’s
ability to pay, the Company analyzes financial statements, payment history, third-party credit analysis reports and various information or
disclosures by the customer or other publicly available information. In cases where the evidence suggests a customer may not be able to satisfy
its obligation to the Company, a specific allowance that is determined to be appropriate for the perceived risk would be established. If the
financial condition of customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be
required.

There have been no significant changes in our collection rates for our accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 in comparison to December
31, 2008.

Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived 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 by first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets
and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are 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 using a discounted cash flow methodology or obtains external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and
discounted cash flow analyses 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the market price of our shares first dropped to a level where, based on the daily closing price of our
shares from October 22, 2008 to December 31, 2008, our market capitalization was less than our book value at December 31, 2008.
Accordingly, and despite, the lack of a substantial history at the time that would indicate whether the effect of prevailing market and economic
conditions on our stock price reflected an aberration or a sustained decline, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
144, which is now codified as FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, we reviewed the Company’s long-lived assets of property,
plant and equipment and land use rights for potential impairment as at December 31, 2008. In view of the sustained level of our stock price
during 2009 and our resulting market capitalization throughout 2009 at a level below our recorded book value at December 31, 2009, we
conducted a similar review of Nam Tai’s long-lived assets for potential impairment. The testing resulting from our reviews of undiscounted
projected cash-flows associated with those assets indicated that the carrying amount of the Company’s long-lived assets at December 31, 2008
and at December 31, 2009 to be less than the sum of undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, we concluded that the carrying values of Nam
Tai’s long-lived assets were not impaired at December 31, 2008 or December 31, 2009.

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 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 using a discounted cash flow methodology. This valuation
technique is 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.

In performing the annual assessment of goodwill for impairment for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Company
determined that there was no impairment loss on goodwill in 2007 or 2009. We recognized an impairment loss of $17,345,000 in 2008,
primarily as result of the onset of and impact from the global economic crisis on the Company’s business.

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. Given the current economic
environment, uncertainties regarding the duration and severity of these conditions, forecasting future business is difficult and subject to
modification. If actual market conditions differ or our forecasts change, we may be required to reassess long-lived assets and good will and we
could record future impairment charges. If we are required to take a substantial impairment charge, our operating results could be materially
adversely affected in the periods and year in which the charge is incurred.

Accruals and provisions for loss contingencies

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

Workforce Reduction in 2009

As a result of the global economic crisis, we suffered serious difficulties in production and business operations during 2009 and reduced the
net headcount in our operating subsidiaries by approximately 1,900 from 7,104 at December 31, 2008 to 5,203 at December 31, 2009. The
amount of employee severance benefits in 2009 was $5,058,000, of which we paid out $4,079,000 during the year, recording these amounts
under general and administrative expenses, and accrued $979,000 for future payments, which we expect to pay during 2010, on our balance
sheet at December 31, 2009. For a breakdown of these severance expenses by operating segment, see Note 17 of Notes to our Consolidated
Financial statements.

We realized the benefits of the cost savings from the reduction in our workforce beginning in the second quarter of 2009. Accordingly, we
do not expect that our 2009 workforce reductions will materially impact of our operating results, cash position or financial condition for
periods after December 31, 2009.

Summary of Results

The decrease in sales in 2009 was primarily because of decline in demand for home entertainment products and mobile phone accessories.
The decrease in our sales base year-over-year in 2009 represents less demand from existing customers, which we attribute to the continuing
worldwide economic recession.

Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008

Net Sales. Our net sales decreased by 34.5% to $408.1 million for 2009, down from $622.9 million in 2008. Sales of CECP, TCA and
LCDP decreased by 57.2%, 18.9% and 9.7% respectively. The decreased sales levels were due to the downturn in the global economic
conditions resulting from the sequential effects of the subprime lending crisis and general credit market crisis. The following table sets forth,
our net sales during for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 by reportable segment expressed as a dollar amount and as percentage of
total net sales and shows the percentage difference in net sales by segment and in total between 2009 and 2008.

In the CECP segment, net sales substantially decreased by about 57.2% mainly because sales of home entertainment products decreased by
57.7% or $45.6 million and sales of mobile phone accessories decreased by 66.7% or $93.8 million, compared with 2008.

In the TCA segment, overall sales decreased by about 18.9%. This was driven primarily by the decrease in sales of FPC sub-assemblies of
29.3% or $31.1 million and LCD modules of 11.4%, or $18.6 million.

In the LCDP segment, overall sales decreased by 9.7%, principally attributable to $12.5 million decrease in sales of Twisted Nematic
(TN) and OEM products. However, the decrease was partially offset by the increase of $6.7 million, or 15.3% in sales of COG products.

Gross Profit. In terms of dollar value, gross profit for 2009 decreased by $30.4 million from 2008 mainly because of a decrease in sales.
Gross margins decreased to 9.9% of net sales in 2009 from 11.3% in 2008. During the first quarter of 2009, Nam Tai made severe cost
reduction and control measures, including (i) improving operating and manufacturing efficiencies by combining work centers and using a
smaller floor space; and (ii) by reducing headcount from approximately 7,100 at December 31, 2008 to approximately 5,100 at March 31,
2009, representing a 28.2% reduction in our work force. Although these measures helped Nam Tai’s operating results to recover in the second
quarter of 2009, the recovery in the second quarter and our financial performance for the remainder 2009 were insufficient to match our
financial results reported in 2008.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $28.4 million, or 6.9% of net sales in
2009, from $29.1 million, or 4.7% of net sales in 2008. The $0.7 million decrease was mainly attributable to decrease of $1.4 million in audit,
legal & professional fees, $1.2 million of share-based compensation expenses and $5.6 million of salaries and benefits. However, the decrease
was partially offset by increases of $5.1 million of employee severance benefits, $0.9 million of privatization expenses, $1.2 million of loss on
disposal of machinery and $0.4 million of depreciation.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses in 2009 decreased to $5.3 million from $6.9 million in 2008 accounting for 1.3% and 1.1% of net sales
for 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses in 2009 decreased to $6.3 million from $10.9 million in 2008
accounting for 1.6% and 1.7% of net sales for 2009 and 2008 respectively.

Impairment loss on goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recorded $17.3 million of impairment loss on goodwill on the LCDP
reporting unit which was a result of the decrease in fair value of the reporting unit affected by the slowdown in the global economy due to the
financial tsunami.

Other (Expenses) Income, Net. During 2009, other expenses were $0.3 million which were mainly represented by an $0.4 million of
exchange loss.

Gain on Sale of Subsidiaries’ Shares. In March 2008, we disposed of our entire equity interest in JIC Technology and recorded a gain of
$20.2 million.

Interest Income. Interest income was $0.8 million, which decreased by $5.5 million from $6.3 million in 2008. The decrease was primarily
resulted from large scales of fund was put into Wuxi factory and less fund was kept in bank, meanwhile, bank interest rate became lower as
compared to 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.2 million in 2009 from $0.4 million in 2008. This decrease was primarily a result of
repayment of an entrusted loan during 2009.

Income Taxes. The Company has an effective tax rate of about 172% on income before income taxes in 2009. The amount represented
income tax provision of $2.1 million, partially offset by the deferred tax credit of $0.8 million recognized during the year. The Company had a
low effective tax rate of about 7% on income before income taxes in 2008.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $2.2 million share of loss in
2009 from $5.4 million share of profit in 2008. The decrease was primarily the result of the gain on disposal of the entire interest in JIC
Technology in March 2008. Moreover, there was a reduction in operating income of NTEEP in 2009.

Net Income Attributable to Nam Tai Shareholders. Net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders decreased to $1.7 million in 2009 from
$30.6 million in 2008. The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, net income/(loss) by reportable segment expressed as a dollar

Net income in CECP segment decreased significantly to $6.7 million from $27.3 million 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® wireless technology,
educational products, optical products and home entertainment devices.

In TCA segment, net loss was $2.1 million in 2009 as compared to net profit of $3.7 million in 2008. The major reason was competitive
pricing pressures requiring us to lower unit prices and a downturn of sales of a major customer in 2009. As TCA segment experienced a major
drop in business volume from existing customers for its FPC subassemblies and LCD modules gross profit dropped by $3.0 million. In
addition, income tax credit decreased by $0.5 million and interest income decreased by $0.7 million, other income decreased by $0.6 million,
resulting in net income decreasing by $5.8 million.

In LCDP segment, net income was $1.6 million in 2009 as compared to net loss of 20.7 million in 2008. Gross profit increased by about
$1.4 million. Operating expenses decreased by $1.8 million and the Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $17.3 million in the
last quarter of 2008, resulting an increase of $22.3 million in net income of in 2009.

Net income in the corporate segment is mainly represented by corporate expenses which were not allocated to segments. Net gain, after tax
and noncontrolling interest, on disposal of subsidiaries’ share — JIC Technology of $20.0 million was recorded in 2008.

Year Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2007

Net Sales. Our net sales decreased by 20.2% to $622.9 million for 2008, down from $780.8 million in 2007. Sales of CECP, TCA and
LCDP decreased 4.4%, 33.5% and 8.7% respectively. The decreased sales levels were due to the downturn in the global economic conditions
resulting from the sequential effects of the subprime lending crisis and general credit market crisis.

The distribution of revenues across our reportable segments has fluctuated, and we expect it to continue to fluctuate, as a result of numerous
factors, including but not limited to, increased business from new and existing customers, fluctuations in customer demand resulting from the
continuing global economic downtown or otherwise and seasonality. The following table sets forth, our net sales during for the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2008 by reportable segment expressed as a dollar amount and as percentage of total net sales and shows the percentage
difference in net sales by segment and in total between 2008 and 2007.

In the CECP segment, net sales moderately decreased by about 4.4% mainly because sales of educational devices decreased by 32.4% or
$12.7 million and sales of mobile phone accessories decreased by 8.6% or $13.2 million, compared with 2007. However, this decrease was
partially offset by increases of $4.9 million, or 24.5%, in sales of optical products and $10.4 million, or 15.2% in sales of home entertainment
products.

In the TCA segment, overall sales decreased by about 33.5%. This was driven primarily by the decrease in sales of FPC sub-assemblies of
52.8% or $119.2 million and LCD modules of 8.5%, or $15.0 million.

In the LCDP segment, overall sales decreased by 8.7%, principally attributable to $3.8 million decrease in sales of LCD panels.

Gross Profit. In terms of dollar value, gross profit for 2008 decreased by $16.3 million from 2007, mainly because of a decrease in sales and
an increase in overhead and labor costs. However, gross margins increased to 11.3% of net sales in 2008 from 11.1% in 2007 due to the shift of
product mix in higher margin products in CECP.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses mildly decreased to $29.1 million, or 4.7% of net sales in 2008
from $30.0 million, or 3.9% of net sales in 2007. The $0.9 million decrease was mainly attributable to decrease of $1.9 million professional
fees and expenses in relation to the 2007 Reorganization as well as $0.6 million decrease in salaries and benefits. However, this decrease was
partially offset by increases of $0.8 million in share-based compensation expenses and $0.7 million in other legal and professional fees.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses mildly increased to $6.9 million from $6.6 million in 2007 accounting for 1.1% and 0.8% of net sales for
2008 and 2007 respectively.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses in 2008 increased to $10.9 million from $9.8 million in 2007
accounting for 1.7% and 1.2% of net sales for 2008 and 2007 respectively. The increase in dollar amount was primarily attributable to the
recruitment of more engineers to support our research and development activities, including design of production process, development of new
products and products associated with customer design-related programs.

Other Income, Net. During 2008, other income was $6.4 million which was mainly represented by $4.8 million of exchange gain and an
amount recovered from Tele-Art Inc., but partially offset by other non-operating charges.

Gain on Sale of Subsidiaries’ Shares. In March 2008, we disposed of our entire equity interest in JIC Technology and recorded a gain of
$20.2 million.

Interest Income. Interest income was $6.3 million, which decreased by $2.9 million from $9.2 million in 2007. The decrease was primarily
the result of lower bank interest rate as compared to 2007.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in 2008 from $0.5 million in 2007. This decrease was primarily a result of
repayment of certain bank loans during 2008.

Income Taxes. The Company had an effective tax rate of about 7% on income before income taxes in 2008. The amount represented income
tax provision of $3.7 million, partially offset by the deferred tax credit of $0.8 million recognized during 2008. The Company had a low
effective tax rate of about 4% on income before income taxes in 2007.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased to $5.4 million in 2008
from $22.3 million in 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of the disposal of the entire interest in JIC Technology in March 2008.
Subsequent to the disposal, there was no sharing by noncontrolling shareholders of JIC Technology. Moreover, there was a reduction in
operating income of NTEEP in 2008, especially without the gain on disposal of marketable securities that occurred in 2007.

Net Income Attributable to Nam Tai Shareholders. Net income attributable to Nam Tai shareholders decrease to $30.6 million in 2008 from
$69.5 million in 2007.

Net income in CECP segment decreased to $27.3 million from $54.5 million. The major reason was a net gain, after tax and noncontrolling
interest, on disposal of marketable securities of $28.0 million recorded in 2007.

In TCA segment, net income decreased to $3.7 million from $16.0 million. The major reason was competitive pricing pressures requiring us
to lower unit prices and a downturn of sales of a major customer in 2008. As TCA segment experienced a major drop in business volume from
existing customers for its FPC subassemblies and LCD modules and average gross margin dropped from 7.0% to 5.7%, gross profit dropped by
$13.1 million. In addition, income tax credit increased by $0.9 million and interest income decreased by $0.3 million, resulting in net income
decreasing by $12.3 million.

In LCDP segment, net loss was $20.7 million in 2008 as compared to net income of $1.4 million in 2007. Due to the market competition
and an increase in cost of sales, gross profit dropped by about $4.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$0.5 million and the Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of $17.3 million in the last quarter of 2008, resulting in a net loss of
$20.7 million in 2008.

Net income in the corporate segment in 2008 was mainly represented by the gain on disposal of JIC Technology of $20.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity
We have financed our operations and cash requirements to date primarily from internally generated funds, proceeds from the sale of our
entire equity interest in JIC Technology, proceeds from the sale of our strategic investments, proceeds from the sale of land we owned in Hong
Kong, entrusted loan arrangements with banks, bank borrowings and sales of our common stock.

We do not have other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, such as securitization of receivables or access to assets through special
purpose entities, as sources of liquidity. Our primary uses of cash over the last few years have been to fund expansions and upgrades of our
manufacturing facilities, to acquire the noncontrolling interests in NTEEP from its publicly traded minority shareholders and to fund increases
in inventory and accounts receivable in years when our sales, inventories or accounts receivables have increased.

We had net working capital of $197.7 million at December 31, 2009 compared to net working capital of $239.0 million at December 31,
2008. The principal components of our working capital at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivables and inventories. The decreases in these components at December 31, 2009 from levels at December 31, 2008, in

(cid:129) cash and cash equivalents resulted primarily from our uses of approximately $43.4 million to acquire the noncontrolling inte rests in the
publicly traded shares of our subsidiary NTEEP, $30.4 million for capital equipment for our new factory in Wuxi, and our investment of
$12.9 million for fixed deposits maturing over three months from December 31, 2009;
(cid:129) inventories resulting primarily from decreases in our sales and customer orders, which affected our work in process; and
(cid:129) accounts receivables, resulting primarily from decreases in our sales generally, and decreases in our sales to one of our major customers
specifically, which, since the fourth quarter of 2008, has demanded that we extend payment terms for products it orders from us, from 60
days to 90 days and skewed our accounts receivable balances at December 31, 2008.

We expect our working capital requirements and capital expenditures to increase when economic conditions improve and we begin future
expansions of our operations through construction of new factories and machinery purchases. 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 $4 million to $5 million,
principally for machinery and equipment in China. We believe that our level of resources, which include cash and cash

equivalents, fixed deposits maturing over three months, accounts receivable and available borrowings under our credit facilities, will be
adequate to fund these capital expenditures and our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Should we desire to
consummate significant additional acquisition opportunities or undertake additional 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 or at all.

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2009 was $38.5 million. This consisted primarily of a $0.5 million consolidated net loss,
adjusted for $23.1 million of depreciation and amortization, a decrease in accounts receivable of $46.2 million, a decrease in inventories of
$11.2 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other receivables of $1.1 million. Nevertheless, net cash provided by operating activities was
partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $39.5 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other payables of $4.1 million,
mainly because sales in 2009 decreased by 34.5% as compared to 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities of $74.8 million for 2009 consisted primarily of capital expenditures of $30.4 million, which were used
mainly to expand our manufacturing capacity and equip our new manufacturing site in Wuxi, and a fixed deposit maturing over three months of
$12.9 million, offset by decrease in entrusted loan receivable of $8.2 million and a deposit for purchase of property, plant and equipment of
$2.9 million. In addition, the Company utilized $43.4 million to acquire additional ordinary shares of NTEEP in 2009.

Net cash used in financing activities of $18.0 million for 2009 resulted primarily from $9.9 million paid to shareholders of the Company and
noncontrolling shareholders of NTEEP as dividends and repayment of entrusted loan of $8.2 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2008 was $36.8 million. This consisted primarily of $36.1 million of net income, adjusted for
$22.2 million of depreciation and amortization, impairment loss on goodwill of $17.3 million, a decrease in inventory of $5.1 million, a
decrease in prepaid expenses and other receivables of $1.6 million and a decrease in income tax recoverable of $5.4 million. Nevertheless, it
was partially offset by a gain on disposal of subsidiaries’ shares of $20.2 million, an unrealized exchange gain of $4.8 million, an increase in
accounts receivable of $8.5 million, a decrease in notes payable of $4.6 million and in accounts payable of $9.2 million and a decrease in
accrued expenses and other payables of $4.2 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of $34.7 million for 2008 consisted primarily of increase in entrusted loan receivable of $8.2 million,
capital expenditures of $27.4 million and deposit for purchase of property, plant and equipment of $2.6 million, which were used to expand our
manufacturing capacity and equip our new manufacturing site in Wuxi. In addition, the Company utilized $2.9 million to acquire additional
ordinary shares of NTEEP in 2008. These were partially offset by net cash inflow from disposal of JIC Technology of $6.7 million.

Net cash used in financing activities of $42.3 million for 2008 resulted primarily from $47.7 million paid to shareholders of the Company
and noncontrolling shareholders of NTEEP as dividends, $2.6 million in repayment of bank loans, offset by proceeds of entrusted loan of
$8.2 million.

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company had no guaranteed loans.

We had no material transactions, arrangements or relationships with unconsolidated affiliated entities that are reasonably likely to affect our
liquidity.

Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2009, we had $182.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, consisting of cash and short-term deposits, compared to
$237.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The Company has no short-term and long-term bank loans as of December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, we had in place general banking facilities with a financial institution aggregating $5.1 million. The maturity of
these facilities is generally up to 120 days. These banking facilities (which are not considered guaranteed loans) are guaranteed by the
Company and there is an undertaking not to pledge any assets to any other banks without the prior consent of our bankers. However, these
covenants do not have any impact on our ability to undertake additional debt or equity financing. Interest rates are generally based on the
banks’ reference lending rates. Our facilities permit us to obtain letters of credit, import facilities, trust receipt financing and shipping
guarantees. No significant commitment fees are required to be paid for the banking facilities. These facilities are subject to annual review and
approval. As of December 31, 2009, we had available unused credit facilities of $4.1 million.

As of December 31 2009, the Company had no term loans.

Our contractual obligations, including capital expenditure, purchase obligations and future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable
operating lease arrangements as of December 31, 2009 are summarized below. We do not participate in, or secure financing for, any
unconsolidated limited purpose entities. Non-cancelable purchase commitments do not typically extend beyond the normal lead-time of several
weeks at most. Purchase orders beyond this time frame are typically cancelable.

With the exception of a requirement that about 11% of profits after tax 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. For 2007 or before, if dividends were paid by our PRC subsidiaries, such dividends would reduce the
amount of reinvested profits and, accordingly, the refund of taxes paid would be reduced to the extent of tax applicable to profits not
reinvested. However, in March 2007, PRC National People’s Congress promulgated the new Enterprise Income Tax Law which replaces the
current foreign enterprise income tax law and takes effect from January 1, 2008. Profit reinvestment benefit, which we previously enjoyed, was
also abolished with effect from January 1, 2008. Under the new EIT Law, dividends payable to foreign investors which are derived from
sources within the PRC will be subject to income tax at the rate of 5% to 15% by way of withholding unless the foreign investors are
companies incorporated in countries which have tax treaty agreement with PRC and rate agreed by both parties will be applied. However,
except for the increases in our tax payments, we believe that there is no material impact from these changes on our ability to provide working
capital for growth and future capital expenditures.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation and deflation in China and Hong Kong 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 Cayman Islands, 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 PRC subsidiaries, with the exception of a requirement that 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 February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). Under SFAS 159, a company may choose, at specified election dates, to measure
eligible items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each
subsequent reporting date. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 159, which is now codified as FASB ASC 825-10-50-28
“Financial Instruments – overall – disclosure – Fair value Option”, but the Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible
financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combination” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is relevant to all
transactions or events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize any
assets and noncontrolling interest acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. Liabilities related to
contingent consideration are recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of the
consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable doubt. This revised approach replaces SFAS 141’s cost allocation process in which the cost
of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair value. SFAS 141R
requires any acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs to be expensed as incurred as opposed to allocating such costs to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as previously required by SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, an acquirer recognizes liabilities for a restructuring
plan in purchase accounting only if the requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, are
met. SFAS 141R allows for the recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these contingencies are likely to materialize. If
this criterion is not met at the acquisition date, then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency in accordance with recognition
criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase accounting.
SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which is now codified as FASB
ASC 805 “Business Combination”. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An Amendment of
ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership
interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity on the financial statements. SFAS 160 requires consolidated net income to
be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, disclosure of the
amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest is required on the face of the financial
statements. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, and now is codified as
FASB ASC 810-10-45-16 “Consolidation — Overall — Other Presentation Matter – Noncontrolling Interest In a Subsidiary”. Accordingly, in
2009, minority interests has been renamed noncontrolling interests, consolidated net income (loss) is reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both noncontrolling interests and Nam Tai’s shareholders for all periods presented. In addition, noncontrolling interests
has been reported as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in equity and
comprehensive income for all periods presented. The Company has retrospectively applied the presentation to its prior year balances in the
consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that
should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset in this FSP shall be applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. This FSP is now codified as FASB ASC 350-20, “Intangibles — Goodwill
and Other Goodwill” effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 350-20 did not
have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-
Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. This FSP gives guidance on the computation of earnings per share and the impact
of share-based instruments that contain certain non forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The FSP is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 31, 2008 and is now codified as FASB-ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” effective for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB-ASC 718 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force in EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive Intangible
Assets” (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 requires entities that will acquire a defensive intangible asset after the effective date of SFAS 141R which is
now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination” effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, to account
for the acquired intangible asset as a separate unit of accounting and amortize the acquired intangible asset over the period during which the
asset would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination
That Arise from Contingencies “. FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, to
address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement,
subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FAS 141
(R)-1 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business
Combination”. The adoption of FASB ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”.
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance

more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the
financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of
equity securities. FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now
codified as FASB ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 320 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. FSP
amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion
No. 28, “ Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information effective for the interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 107 is now codified as FASB ASC 825-10-50 “Financial Instrument-Overall-Disclosure”. The
adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-50 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 165 “Subsequent Events”. The objective of this Statement is to establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. SFAS 165 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 855
“Subsequent Events”. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations and cash flows. Effective February 24, 2010, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09,
“Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which removes the requirement to
disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 140”. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a
reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for the interim
and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 860-10 “Transfers and Servicing — Overall”. The
adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46” The objective of this Statement is to amend
certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, to improve
financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of
financial statements. SFAS 167 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC
810-10-50-2A “Consolidation – Overall – Disclosure — Variable Interest Entities”. The adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No 162”, which supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. The codification does not change GAAP but rather organizes it into a new hierarchy with two levels: authoritative and non-
authoritative. All authoritative GAAP carries equal weight and is organized in a topical structure. The adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)”. This ASU applies to all
entities that measure liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820 and provides clarification on how to measure liabilities at fair value
when a quoted price in an active market is not available and clarify that it is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other
inputs relating to a restriction of transfer of liabilities. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s

Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This update applies to all entities that hold an investment that is

reporting entity to measure the fair value of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment and require disclosures by
major category of investment within the scope of this update. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after

cash flows.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises

Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenditures were mainly comprised of salaries and benefits paid to our research and development personnel
and primarily for the development of advanced manufacturing techniques to produce complex products on a mass scale and at a low cost. We
expense our research and development costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, we incurred research and
development expenses of approximately $9.8 million, $10.9 million and $6.3 million respectively.

Trend Information

Currently, our operations consist of three reportable segments, CECP, TCA and LCDP.

We plan to continue to leverage on our solid long-term customer relationships, industry and manufacturing expertise to expand our business.

For Consumer Electronics and Communication Products, we will continue to focus on high growth and mass volume products in consumer
and telecommunication sectors. Our current segments include mobile phone accessories, home entertainment devices, and educational
products. Since June 2003, we have been able to diversify our product range from finished products to component assemblies and began
manufacturing of high growth CMOS imaging sensor modules for integration into various image-capturing devices such as mobile phones,
notebook computers, games devices, multi media portable devices, as well as for the automotive industry. In 2008, we continued to develop
finished products, such as headset accessories containing Bluetooth wireless technology, new entertainment game devices with infrared
wireless features, and educational products offering optical and character recognition system. In addition to our core manufacturing business of
consumer electronic and communication products, we plan to seek to expand our customer base by positioning ourselves to offer
manufacturing services focusing on products that include global positioning system, or GPS, technology and wireless networking technology
that provide high-speed Internet and network connections.

For Telecommunication Component Assembly, we expect to continue to focus on products that we view as possessing high-growth
potential by requiring advanced technological production know-how. In addition to high-end color LCD modules, we began manufacturing
FPC subassemblies in March 2003 for integration into various LCD modules and other products, such as infotainment consumer electronic
products. These products played a significant role in increasing our total sales in 2007 and in reducing the decline in our total sales in 2008
resulting from the worldwide economic slump. In 2006, we further increased our product line and broadened our customer base by producing
DAB modules for a new European customer and PCB assemblies for headsets containing Bluetooth wireless technology. In order to enhance
our vertical integration by moving upstream in our effort to increase profitability and support growth in our FPC subassembly business, we
began manufacturing of FPC boards in 2007. For RF modules, we have further diversified this product category to the GPS sector for European
customer in 2008. The GPS modules are widely applied in the automotive industry, logistics and transportation and security devices. We
believe that the combination of FPC boards manufacturing and FPC subassembly capability will allow us to better serve our customers and
provide benefits from synergy that we expect will help improve our gross profit margins and broaden our product and service offerings.

LCD panels are found in numerous applications in electronics products, such as watches, clocks, calculators, pocket games, PDAs, mobile
and cordless telephones and car audio systems. We are a customized LCD panel manufacturer, and we develop each product from design
concept all through a high-quality mass producible product. Since 2003, we have also begun manufacturing customized LCD modules that
included components such as backlights, FPC and COG. In 2005, we began developing LCD modules for cordless and VoIP phones. We intend
to continue expanding our customized passive LCD module products utilizing LCD panels that we have manufactured, and we expect this
strategy to provide us with higher value products, a wider customer base, increased revenues and margins.

In 2009, our vertical integration of STN LCD panel production resulted in us producing internally approximately 60% of the STN LCD
panels we used to manufacture LCD modules that we used for products we produced in our TCA and LCDP operating segments that provided
approximately 70% of our total sales revenue.

Our goal in effectuating the privatization of NTEEP was to simplify our group structure, allow the reduction of aggregate and consolidated
operating costs, eliminate actual or perceived conflicts of interest, and reduce administration time and costs and regulatory burdens of
maintaining the listing status of a subsidiary having publicly-traded securities.

The completion of the privatization of NTEEP on November 12, 2009 also completed the elimination of all noncontrolling interests in our
subsidiaries and operations and accordingly from that date, we no longer need share our financial results with any noncontrolling shareholders.

The financial results of many companies, including those of Nam Tai, were adversely impacted in 2009 by the effects of the global
economic crisis and market deterioration. It has been our strategy to diversify our product segments and customers with our long experience in
developing and employing optical, acoustic and wireless transmission technologies, our capabilities in design and development, and advanced
technology in product industrialization and manufacturing. We also have and will continue to focus on effective cost control, both in materials
sourcing and improvements to manufacturing efficiency. We believe the company can weather current market turmoil and eventually improve
profitability in the longer term. Although end markets are weak and are expected to remain so in the near term, we intend to seek to capitalize
on the present opportunities in an effort to ensure a more robust future when end markets stabilize and the recovery cycle begins.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

For 2009, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources.

Compensation of Directors and Senior Management

Compensation on an Aggregate Basis

The aggregate compensation, including benefits in kind granted, during the year ended December 31, 2009 that we or any of our
subsidiaries paid to all directors and senior management as a group for their services in all capacities to the Company or any subsidiary was
approximately $2.1 million (excluding the value of stock option granted in accordance to Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
123(R), “Share-based Payment” (“FAS 123(R)”), which is now codified as FASB ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, or
amounts paid when the Company repurchased stock options from directors).

During the year ended December 31, 2009, we granted to our directors from our stock option plans options to purchase an aggregate of
75,000 of our common shares at exercise price of $4.41 per share. The exercise prices of the shares covered by the options granted during 2009
were either equal to or higher than their fair market value of our shares on the date of grant and the options granted expire on the anniversary of
their grant date in 2012.

We pay our directors $3,000 per month for services as a director, $750 per meeting attended in person and $500 per meeting attended by
telephone. In addition, we reimburse our directors for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their services as a director and
member of a board committee.

During 2009, members of our senior management were eligible for annual cash bonuses based on their performance and that of the
subsidiaries in which they are assigned for the relevant period. Senior management is entitled to share up to 5% of the operating income from
the subsidiary in which they are employed during the year. Our senior management in charge of our subsidiaries recommends the participating
staff members from the corresponding subsidiary and the amount, if any, to be allocated from such subsidiary’s profit pool to an eligible
employee. In addition to cash incentives, members of our senior management are eligible to receive stock options from our Stock Option Plans.

required to contribute 8% to 9% of the stipulated salary to our staff located there to retirement benefit schemes to fund retirement

benefits for our employees. With effect from July 2006, the applicable percentages were adjusted to 10% to 11%. Our principal obligation with
respect to these retirement benefit schemes is to make the required contributions under the scheme. No forfeited contributions may be used by
us to reduce the existing level of contributions.

Since December 2000, we have enrolled all of our eligible employees located in Hong Kong into the Mandatory Provident Fund, or MPF,
scheme, a formal system of retirement protection that is mandated by the government of Hong Kong and provides the framework for the
establishment of a system of privately managed, employment-related MPF schemes to accrue financial benefits for members of the Hong Kong
workforce when they retire. Since first establishing a subsidiary in Macao in 2003, we have enrolled all of our eligible employees in Macao
into Macao’s retirement benefit scheme, or RBS. 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 Nam Tai in Hong Kong and Macao. Contributions are made by us at 5% based on the staff’s relevant
income. The maximum relevant income for contribution purpose per employee is $3,000 per month. Staff members are entitled to 100% of the
Company’s contributions, together with accrued returns, irrespective of their length of service with us, 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.

Options Granted During and Held by Directors, at December 31, 2009

Our policy is to grant to non-employee directors on an annual basis, upon their election to the Board of Director at the annual shareholders’,
options to purchase 15,000 shares at an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common shares on the date of grant.
Accordingly, in June 2009, each of our non-employee directors was granted three-year options to purchase 15,000 shares

Under the rules of the SEC, foreign private issuers like us are not required to disclose compensation paid to our directors or senior

managers on an individual basis unless individual disclosure is required in the foreign private issuer’s home country and is not otherwise
publicly disclosed by the company. Although we are not required by our home country (the British Virgin Islands, the jurisdiction in
which we are organized), we are voluntarily providing disclosure of compensation we paid to our directors and senior managers on an
individual basis in this Report and plan to do so in our proxy statement for our 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (even though we
are not subject to 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 or disclosures required in a proxy statement in accordance with
rules therefor promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). See Item 3. Key Information of this Report under the heading
“Risk Factors – Our status as a foreign private issuer in the United States exempts us from certain of the reporting requirements under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and corporate governance standards of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, limiting the
protections and information afforded to investors.” By providing disclosures of compensation we pay to our directors and senior
managers on an individual basis in this Report or in our proxy statement, we are not undertaking any duty, and investors and others
reviewing this Report should not expect, that we will continue to make such disclosures in any future Reports or in our proxy statements
as long as we are exempt from doing so under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We reserve the right to discontinue doing so at any
time without prior notice. Further, although the disclosures of compensation we paid to our directors and senior managers on an
individual basis that we have provided in this Report may, in certain respects, appear comparable to similar disclosures made by
companies organized in the U.S. that are required to file Annual Reports on Form 10-K or proxy statements under Regulation 14A under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such disclosures that we have made in this Report do not necessarily comply with the applicable
requirements therefor under Form 10-K or Regulation 14A and this Report does not contain all disclosures required Item 11 of Form 10-
K or Item 8 of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A.

(a total of 75,000 shares for all of our directors) at an exercise price of $4.41. These were the only outstanding options held by our directors at
December 31, 2009.

Board Practices

All directors hold office until our next annual meeting of shareholders, which generally is in the summer of each calendar year, or until their
respective successors are duly elected and qualified or their positions are earlier vacated by resignation or otherwise. The full board committee
appoints members and chairman of board committees, who serve at the pleasure of the Board. Except for the agreement relating to loss of
office that Nam Tai entered into in March 2009 with Mr. M. K. Koo in connection with his appointment as Nam Tai’s Executive Chairman and
Chief Financial Officer, Nam Tai has no director service contracts providing for benefits upon termination of service as a director or employee
(if employed). For information relating to the loss of office agreement with Mr. Koo, see Item 7, “Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions” on page 60 of this Report. Annually, upon election to our Board at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we grant to non-
employee directors so elected options from one of our stock option plans to purchase 15,000 common shares. These options are exercisable at
the fair market value of our shares on the date of grant and are exercisable for three years from the date of grant, subject to sooner termination
based on the provisions of the applicable stock option plan.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Financial Statements

Our consolidated financial statements are included this Form 20-F in the F pages following page 77.

Legal Proceedings

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to our business and we believe that there are no
material legal proceedings pending that involve our property.

Tax Dispute with Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department

Since the fourth quarter of 2007, various of our inactive subsidiaries have been involved in tax disputes from year 1996 onwards with the
Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, or HKIRD, the income tax authority of the Hong Kong Government.

In October 2007, the HKIRD issued an assessment Determination against Nam Tai Trading Company Limited (“NTTC”), a limited liability
company incorporated in Hong Kong and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This assessment relates to four tax years from
1996/1997 to 1999/2000. The taxes assessed in this proceeding amount to approximately $2.9 million.

After consulting Hong Kong tax experts, Nam Tai believed that the position of the HKIRD for the years in question was incorrect as a
matter of law and accordingly NTTC objected to the HKIRD’s assessment and appealed it to the Hong Kong Board of Review, an independent
body established under Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance to hear appeals of HKIRD assessments. In December 2008, the Board of
Review dismissed the Company’s appeal. According to advice from Senior Counsel in Hong Kong, the Court of Appeal in Hong Kong is
unlikely to disturb the findings of the Board of Review. As such, NTTC has decided not to proceed with the appeal.

In addition to the assessment Determination of October 2007, in May 2008, the HKIRD issued a writ against NTTC claiming taxes in the
amount of approximately $3 million for the taxable years from 1997/1998 to 2000/2001, partially overlapping the taxes against NTTC assessed
by HKIRD in its assessment Determination of October 2007. Nam Tai’s defense was struck out by the District Court in Hong Kong. According
to advice from Senior Counsel in Hong Kong, the Court of Appeal is unlikely to disturb the findings of the District Court. As such, NTTC has
decided not to appeal against the decision of the District Court.

The HKIRD has also made estimated assessments against Nam Tai Group Management Limited (“NTGM”), another wholly owned
subsidiary of Nam Tai, which has been inactive since 2005. This assessment, which relates to the tax years of 2001 and 2002, is in the amount
of approximately $172,000, including interest allegedly due thereon. On December 17, 2008, the Hong Kong tax authorities issued a Writ of
Summons through the District Court in Hong Kong claiming against NTGM the amount of $172,000 as taxes allegedly due and payable,
together with interest, to the Hong Kong tax authorities for the fiscal years 2001 to 2002. NTGM filed its defense on January 29, 2009, but on
February 17, 2009, HKIRD filed papers seeking to strike out NTGM’s defense. As NTGM’s defense was similar to the defense of NTTC and
Senior Counsel has advised that NTTC’s defense is not arguable before the Court, NTGM has accordingly agreed with HKIRD to allow
Judgment to be entered against NTGM by consent.

HKIRD has not accepted the explanations that it was necessary for these subsidiaries to perform their individual functions for the whole
Nam Tai group and therefore the management fees paid by the Company by contract 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 HKIRD.

Since it is believed that it will be difficult for these subsidiaries to continue co-operating with HKIRD in the future, if the Company
discontinues financing 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 some time, and have either assets of limited book-value or no assets, Nam Tai believes that there should be
no material impact from these proceeding on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Accordingly, no provision
has been made regarding these assessments in Nam Tai’s consolidated financial statements.

Although we had a long history of dividend payment before 2009, in February 2009, our board of directors determined not to declare
dividends in 2009. The following table sets forth the total cash dividends and dividends per share we have declared for each of the five years in
the period ended December 31, 2009.

We declared special dividends in 2006 in celebration of Company’s thirtieth founding anniversary and its fifth consecutive quarter of
record-breaking sales. Under our dividend policy implemented from 2006 through December 31, 2008, our Board of Directors determine and
declare the amount of Nam Tai’s dividend payable based on our operating income, 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 believed reasonable and appropriate to
consider in the determination and plans to announce the declared amount of that dividend. It was our policy at that time to determine the actual
annual amount of future dividends, if any, based upon our growth during the preceding year.

In February 2010, Nam Tai’s board determined to refrain from declaring dividends again in 2010. The decisions not to declare dividends in
2009 and 2010 were made in order to maintain cash reserves during the continuing economic turmoil. If dividends are to be declared in the
future, we will determine the amounts and when they are to be declared. Even if dividends are declared in the future, we may not continue them
in any future period.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Share Capital

Our authorized capital consists of 200,000,000 common shares, $0.01 par value per share. As of February 28, 2010, we had 44,803,735
common shares outstanding.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

On December 5, 2007, we filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands, our jurisdiction of organization, an
amended Memorandum and Articles of Associations (collectively our Charter”), the instruments governing a company organized under the law
of the British Virgin Islands, which are comparable in purpose and effect to certificates or articles of incorporation and bylaws of corporations
organized in a state of the United States. Our Charter, which became effective on December 5, 2007, amended and restated our Memorandum
and Articles of Association, as amended, theretofore in effect. The purpose of amending our Charter was to:

1. Make our shares eligible for a direct registration system operated by a securities depository in accordance with Section 501.00 (B) of the
rules of the New York Stock Exchange that became effective on January 1, 2008 as to companies, like us, having equity securities listed on the
New York Stock Exchange prior to January 1, 2007;

2. Make various consequential amendments to our Memorandum and Articles of Association so as to make them consistent with the BVI
Business Company’s Act, 2004, as amended (the “Act”), the Act becoming effective as to us on January 1, 2007, superseding as of that date the
International Business Companies Act, 1984, the relevant BVI legislation which had previously governed us;

3. Eliminate our authority to issue bearer shares that would otherwise be permitted under BVI law, our directors believed to be inappropriate
for a company with shares publicly traded in the United States;

4. Authorize our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and our other officers designated by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors (or the directors in the absence of designation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors), to serve as the Chairman of all meetings of
shareholders in the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors; and

5. Make certain other changes as are indicated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Under our Charter, holders of our shares:

are entitled to one vote for each whole share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders, including the election of directors;

do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors;

are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available under British Virgin

Islands law; and

do not have preemptive rights to purchase any additional, unissued common shares.

Under our Charter or applicable BVI law

all of common shares are equal to each other with respect to voting and dividend rights; and

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; or

Pursuant to our Charter 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 except:

to restrict the rights or powers of our shareholders to amend the Memorandum or the Articles;

to change the percentage of shareholders required to pass a resolution of shareholders to amend our Charter; or

in circumstances where our Charter cannot be amended by the Shareholders; or

to authorize the Company to issue, or authorize the issuance of, bearer shares of capital stock.

The power of our Board of Directors to amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association continues to include amendments to increase
or reduce our authorized capital stock. Our ability to amend our Memorandum and Articles of Association without shareholder approval in this
fashion could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing our change in control, including one involving a tender offer to purchase our
common shares or to engage in a business combination at a premium over the then current market price of our shares.

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.

As set forth in Clause 4 of our Memorandum of Association included in our Charter, our object or purpose is to engage in any act or activity
that is not prohibited under British Virgin Islands law.

The following summarizes the import of certain of the Regulations from our Articles of Association, included in our Charter:

Regulation 53 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.

Regulation 46 allows the directors to vote compensation to themselves in respect of services rendered to us.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
Regulation 62 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.

Regulation 78 of the Articles allows us to deduct from any shareholder’s dividends amounts owing to us by that shareholder.

Regulation 8(b) provides that we can redeem shares at fair market value from any shareholder against whom we have a judgment debt.

Regulation 5(a) of the Articles provides that the Company’s registered shares may be certificated or uncertificated and shall be entered

in the register of members of the Company and registered as they are issued.

Regulation 7 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.

Regulation 9 provides that if at any time the capital stock 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.

Regulations 22 to 26 of our Articles of Association and under applicable BVI law provide that 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% 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.

There is no provision in our Charter 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.

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

There are no provisions in our Charter governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

We filed our Charter with the SEC as Exhibit 1.1 to an Amendment to Form 8-A (Amendment No. 1) on December 13, 2007 and the
provisions of our Charter may be reviewed by examining that filing.

Transfer Agent

Registrar and Transfer Agent Company, 10 Commerce Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016-3572, U.S.A., serves as transfer agent and
registrar for our common shares in the United States.

Exchange Controls

There are no exchange control restrictions on payments of dividends, interest, or other payments to nonresident holders of Nam Tai’s
securities or on the conduct of our operations in Hong Kong, Cayman Islands or the British Virgin Islands, where Nam Tai is incorporated.
Other jurisdictions in which we conduct operations may have various exchange controls. With respect to our subsidiaries in China, with the
exception of a requirement that 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 flow.

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. In addition, this summary generally
addresses certain U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders if we were to be classified as a PFIC. 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 the 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 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 financial institution or a bank;

an insurance company;

a tax-exempt organization;

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;

a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

a person that owns, or is treated as owning, 10% or more, by voting power or value, of our common shares;

certain former U.S. citizens and residents who have expatriated; or

a person who receives our shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.

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, 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

If you are a U.S. Holder of common shares in a taxable year in which we are a PFIC (and any subsequent taxable years), then this section
generally may not apply to you — instead, see “PFIC Considerations,” below. Otherwise, generally, 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 will be subject to tax as ordinary
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 included in your gross income on the date of receipt. Subject to certain limitations, dividends
paid to non-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. 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

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
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, a dividends-received deduction generally will not be allowed to corporations with respect to dividends paid by us.

We appear to have been a PFIC for 2009 and, based on our current operations and market conditions, we may be a PFIC for 2010 — see
“PFIC Considerations” below and the discussion of certain PFIC issues in “Risk Factors” above. Therefore, the reduced rate of taxation
available to U.S. Holders of a “qualified foreign corporation” may not be available for 2009 and may not be available for 2010.

For United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes, dividends received on our common shares will be treated as foreign source income
and will generally be “passive category 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 paid 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

If you are a U.S. Holder of common shares in a taxable year in which we are a PFIC (and any subsequent taxable years), then this section
will not apply to you — instead, see “PFIC Considerations,” below. Otherwise, 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:

the amount realized on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and

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.

PFIC Considerations

A determination of a corporation’s PFIC status must be made annually. Based upon an analysis of the book value of our assets and the total
market value, or market cap, of our shares at the end of each quarter during 2009, we appear to be classified as a PFIC for 2009, and based on
our current operations and market conditions, we may be a PFIC for 2010. 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 (the “income test”) 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 (the “asset test). For this purpose, passive income generally
includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business), annuities and
gains from assets that produce passive income.

As a result of the classification as a PFIC, a special tax regime would apply to both (a) any “excess distribution” by us (generally, the US
Holder’s ratable share of distributions in any year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such US Holder in
the three preceding years or its holding period, if shorter) and (b) any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of your ordinary shares.
Under the PFIC regime, any excess distribution and recognized gain would be treated as ordinary income. The U.S. federal income tax on such
ordinary income is determined under the following steps: (i) the amount of the excess distribution or gain is allocated ratably over the US
Holder’s holding period for our ordinary shares; (ii) tax is determined for amounts allocated to the first year in the holding period in which we
were classified as a PFIC and all subsequent years (except the year in which the excess distribution was received or the sale occurred) by
applying the highest applicable tax rate in effect in the year to which the income was allocated; (iii) an interest charge is added to this tax
calculated by applying the underpayment interest rate to the tax for each year determined under the preceding sentence from the due date of the
income tax return for such year to the due date of the return for the year in which the excess distribution or sale occurs; and (iv) amounts
allocated to a year prior to the first year in the US Holder’s holding period in which we were classified as a PFIC or to the year in which the
excess distribution or the disposition occurred are taxed as ordinary income and no interest charge applies.

If we were treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of our shares would generally be subject to the PFIC rules described above with respect to
distributions by us, and dispositions by us of the stock of, any direct or indirect subsidiaries of ours that are classified as PFICs under either the
“asset test” or the “income test,” as if such holder received directly its pro-rata share of either the distribution or proceeds from such
disposition.

(cid:129)

(cid:129)
A U.S. Holder may generally avoid the PFIC regime by making a “qualified electing fund” election which generally provides that, in lieu of
the foregoing treatment, our earnings, on a pro rata basis, would be currently included in their gross income. However, we may be unable or
unwilling to provide information to our U.S. Holders that would enable them to make a “qualified electing fund” election; thus, such election
may not be available.

In addition, U.S. Holders may generally avoid the PFIC regime by making the “mark-to-market” election with respect to our common
shares as long as we are a PFIC and our common shares are considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market within the
United States. “Marking-to-market,” in this context, means including in ordinary income each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market
value of our common shares over your tax adjusted basis in such common shares as of the end of each year. This “mark-to-market” election
generally enables a U.S. Holder to avoid the deferred interest charge that would otherwise be imposed on them if we were to be classified as a
PFIC.

An actual determination of PFIC status is factual in nature. Given the complexity of the issues regarding our classification as a PFIC, U.S.
Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors for guidance as to our PFIC status.

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).

If you meet the two tests above, you generally will be subject to tax in respect of such dividends in the same manner as a U.S. Holder,

as described above. In addition, any effectively connected dividends received by a non-U.S. corporation may also, under certain
circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30 percent rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Common Shares

Generally, you will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, in respect of gain recognized on a sale or other
taxable disposition of our common shares unless:

your gain is effectively connected with a trade or business that you conduct in the United States (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 gain from the sale
or other disposition of our common shares, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United
States), or

you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder and are present in the United States for at least 183 days in the taxable year of the sale or other

disposition, and certain other conditions exist.

You will be subject to tax in respect of any gain effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States generally
in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, as described above. Effectively connected gains realized by a non-U.S. corporation may also, under
certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30 percent or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Payments, including dividends and proceeds of sales, in respect of our common shares that are made in the United States or by a United
States related financial intermediary will be subject to United States information reporting rules. In addition, such payments may be subject to
United States federal backup withholding tax. You will not be subject to backup withholding provided that:

you are a corporation or other exempt recipient, or

you provide your correct United States federal taxpayer identification number and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not

subject to backup withholding.

Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against your United States federal income tax, and you may obtain a
refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS in a timely
manner.

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Currency Fluctuations and Foreign Exchange Risk

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 U.S. dollars and pay for our material components in Japanese yen, U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars,
and RMB. We pay labor costs and overhead expenses in RMB, the currency of China (the basic unit of which is the yuan), Hong Kong dollars
and Japanese yen.

Hong Kong Dollar

The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollars to the U.S. dollars 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 dollars to the U.S. dollars.

Japanese Yen

We face the potential of a material foreign exchange risk resulting from material purchases we make in Japanese yen. The following
chart shows the percentage of our total material costs paid in yen and our total sales made in yen during the years ended December 31, 2007,
2008 and 2009.

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 U.S. dollar at a time when our sales made in Japanese yen are insufficient to cover our material purchases in Japanese yen.

Chinese Renminbi

Approximately 18% of our total costs and expenses and 9% of our material costs in 2009 were in RMB. A future appreciation of RMB
against U.S. dollars would increase our costs when translated into U.S. dollars and could adversely affect our margin.

Immediately prior to July 21, 2005, the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollars had 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 1.9% 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 a further 6.4% appreciation at the end of 2007 as compared to the
end of 2006. As of the end of year 2008, there was a further 6.6% appreciation as compared to the year end of 2007. In 2009, the exchange rate
of RMB to U.S. dollars was relatively stable.

This appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollars resulted in an increase in our total costs and expenses of approximately 1.1% during 2008
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, 2009, which was used in preparing our audited consolidated financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2009, our net asset value, as presented in U.S. dollars, would have been reduced by $429,000 and
$2.1 million, respectively. Conversely, if the RMB had been 1% and 5% more valuable against the U.S. dollars as of that date, then our net
asset value would have increased by $429,000 and $2.1 million, respectively. Had rates of the RMB been 10% higher relative to the U.S.
dollars during 2009, our operating expenses would have increased $4.3 million as a result of expenses we paid in RMB during 2009.

For additional information regarding the fluctuation of the exchange rate of the RMB to the U.S. dollar from July 21, 2005, the date that
the People’s Bank of China adjusted the exchange rate of RMB to the U.S. dollar, to December 31, 2009, please see the chart on page 16 of this
Report.

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.

Currency Hedging

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.
dollars through one of our banks. As a result, we may suffer 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, 2009, 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.

Currencies included in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Fixed Deposits Maturing Over Three Months

The following table provides the U.S. dollar equivalent of amounts of currencies included in cash and cash equivalents and fixed deposits
maturing over three months on our balance sheet at December 31, 2008 and 2009:

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 $195.6 million as of December 31, 2009 was invested in term deposits. As such, interest income will
fluctuate with changes in interest rates. During 2009, we had $0.8 million in interest income and $0.2 million in interest expense.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, we had utilized approximately nil and $0.1million our credit facilities, including nil and $0.1 million
in short-term notes payable but no short-term bank loans, respectively, resulting in minimal interest rate risk.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, we had no long-term bank loans.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Nam Tai’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this
evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this
report such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and included controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Nam Tai’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal controls will prevent all
errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there 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 a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or
fraud may occur and not be detected.

Nam Tai’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth in the Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the
assessment, Nam Tai’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of December 31,
2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The effectiveness of Nam Tai’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by Moore Stephens,
an independent registered public accounting firm. The related report to the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Nam Tai appears on the

internal controls over financial reporting.

regarding pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Under the Policy, the Chairman of the Audit Committee is delegated with the authority to grant pre-approvals in respect of all auditing
services including non-audit service, but excluding those services stipulated in Section 201 “Service Outsider the Scope of Practice of
Auditors”. Moreover, if the Audit Committee approves an audit service within the scope of the engagement of the audit service, such audit
service shall be deemed to have been pre-approved. The decisions of the Chairman of the Audit Committee made under delegated authority to
pre-approve an activity shall be presented to the Audit Committee at each of its scheduled meetings.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee are submitted to the Audit Committee
by both the independent registered public accounting firm and the Chief Financial Officer.

During 2008 and 2009, approximately 98.1% and 98.6%, respectively, of the total audit-related fees and tax fees were approved by the

NAM TAI ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands of US dollars, except share and per share data)

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 operations, the Company manufactures electronic components and sub-
assemblies, including flexible printed circuit (“FPC”) board, FPC board subassemblies, liquid crystal display (“LCD”) panels, LCD
modules, thin film transistor display modules, radio frequency modules, digital audio broadcast modules, internet radio subassemblies,
image sensors modules and printed circuit board assemblies. These components, modules and subassemblies are used in numerous
electronic products including mobile phones, Internet Protocol phones, notebook computers, digital cameras, electronic toys, handheld
video game devices and learning devices. The Company also manufactures finished products, including mobile phone accessories, home
entertainment products and 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 PRC. The Company was reincorporated as a limited liability
International Business Company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) in August 1987 (which was amended in 2004 as
The British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004). The Company’s principal manufacturing and design operations are based in
Shenzhen, approximately 30 miles from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”). Its PRC headquarters are located
in Shenzhen. Some of the subsidiaries’ offices are located in Hong Kong, which provide them access to Hong Kong’s infrastructure of
communication and banking facilities. As of December 31, 2009, one of the Company’s subsidiaries also maintained an office in Japan.
The Company’s principal manufacturing operations are conducted in the PRC. The PRC resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong effective
July 1, 1997, and politically, Hong Kong is an integral part of the PRC. However, for simplicity and as a matter of definition only, our
references to PRC in these consolidated financial statements mean the PRC and all of its territories excluding Hong Kong.

The Company operates primarily in three reportable segments consisting of consumer electronics and communication products

(“CECP”), telecommunication components assembly (“TCA”) and LCD products (“LCDP”).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of 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.

(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.

Marketable securities 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 income (expenses).

F-8

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

(d) Allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable balance is recorded net of allowances for amounts not expected to be collected from customers. Because the

accounts receivable are typically unsecured, the Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of accounts based on a
combination of factors, including a particular customer’s ability to pay as well as the age of the receivables. To evaluate a specific
customer’s ability to pay, the Company analyzes financial statements, payment history, third-party credit analysis reports and
various information or disclosures by the customer or other publicly available information. In cases where the evidence suggests a
customer may not be able to satisfy its obligation to the Company, a specific allowance would be set up for the perceived risk. If the
financial condition of customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances
may be required.

(e) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Write downs 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 products that are 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 canceled 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 remains 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 enough in
advance 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 cannot be utilized in the foreseeable future.

(f)

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, if applicable. No interest was capitalized for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. 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 property, plant and equipment and land use right are included in 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 in the consolidated balance sheets. They are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the respective term of the right to use the land.

Since August 1, 2009, in order to reflect a more reasonable estimate on the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment, the

Company computed depreciation expenses using the straight-line method at the following depreciation rates:

$2,308, $1,643, $0.04 and $0.04, respectively.

(g) Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least on an annual basis at the balance sheet

date or more frequently if certain indicators arise. The Company operates in three reporting units, which are its reportable segments
of CECP, TCA and LCDP. If business conditions or other factors cause the profitability and cash flows of the reporting unit to
decline, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for goodwill at that time. The goodwill impairment review is a
two-step process in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets”, which is now codified as Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 350-20 “Goodwill” effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. First step consists of a
comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. An impairment loss may be recognized if the review
indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Estimates of fair value are primarily determined by using
discounted cash flows method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, second step requires the fair value of
the reporting unit to be allocated to all of the assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) of that reporting
unit, resulting in an implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying amount of the goodwill of the reporting unit exceeds the implied
fair value, an impairment charge is recorded which is equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value.

The impairment review is highly judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and
assumptions have a significant impact on the amount of any impairment charge recorded. Discounted cash flow methodology is
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.

No impairment loss on goodwill was recognized in 2007 and 2009. Impairment loss on goodwill on the LCDP reporting unit of

$17,345, as more fully described in Note 5, was identified and recognized in 2008.

(h) Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are included in impairment evaluations when events and circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of

these assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with SFAS No. 144 “Accounting For the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment” effective for interim and annual periods
ending after September 15, 2009, the Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived 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 using a
discounted cash flow methodology or obtains external appraisals from independent valuation firms. The undiscounted and
discounted cash flow analyses 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.

F-10

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — continued

(h) Impairment or disposal of long-lived assets- continued

Long-lived assets to be disposed of are stated at the lower of fair value or carrying value. Expected future operating losses from

discontinued operations are recorded in the periods in which the losses are incurred. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the market
price of the Company’s shares first dropped to a level where, based on the daily closing price of its shares from October 22, 2008 to
December 31, 2008, the Company’s market capitalization was less than its book value at December 31, 2008. Accordingly, and
despite, the lack of a substantial history at the time that would indicate whether the effect of prevailing market and economic
conditions on the Company’s stock price reflected an aberration or a sustained decline, in accordance with FASB ASC 360, the
Company reviewed its long-lived assets of property, plant and equipment and land use rights for potential impairment as at
December 31, 2008. In view of the sustained level of the Company’s stock price during 2009 and its resulting market capitalization
throughout 2009 at a level below its recorded book value at December 31, 2009, the Company conducted a similar review of Nam
Tai’s long-lived assets for potential impairment. The testing resulting from the Company’s reviews of undiscounted projected cash-
flows associated with those assets indicated that the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets at December 31, 2008 and at
December 31, 2009 to be less than the fair value and the sum of undiscounted cash flows. Accordingly, the Company concluded
that the carrying values of Nam Tai’s long-lived assets were not impaired at December 31, 2008 and 2009.

(i)

Accruals and provisions for loss contingencies

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

For provisions or accruals related to litigation, the Company makes provisions based on information from legal counsels and the
best estimation of management. The Company assesses the potential liability for the significant legal proceedings in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, or SFAS 5 (which is now codified as
FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies”). FASB ASC 450 requires a liability to be recorded if the contingency loss is probable and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual resolution of the contingency may differ from the Company’s estimates. If
the contingency was settled for an amount greater than the estimate, a future charge to income would result. Likewise, if the
contingency was settled for an amount that is less than our estimate, a future credit to income would result.

(j)

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

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon shipment and when collectability is

reasonably 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.

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are subject to value-added tax of 17% on the revenue earned for goods and services sold in
the PRC. The Company presents revenue net of such value-added tax which amounted to nil, $1,357 and $369 for the years ended
December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

(k) Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are classified as cost of sales for materials purchased and selling expenses for those costs incurred in

the delivery of finished products. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, shipping and handling costs
classified as costs of sales were $523, $503 and $363, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009,
shipping and handing costs classified as selling expenses were $1,027, $840 and $669, respectively.

(l)

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are incurred in the development of new products and processes, including significant

improvements and refinements to existing products and are expensed as incurred.

(m) Advertising expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses were $137, $132 and $36 for the years ended

December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

(n) Staff retirement plan costs

The Company’s costs related to the staff retirement plans (see Note 11) are charged to the consolidated statement of income as

incurred.

(o) Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized
for all significant temporary differences at enacted rates and classified as current or non-current based upon the classification of the
related asset or liability in the consolidated 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.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which stipulates the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements, and 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. It also provides accounting guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is now included in and codified
as FASB ASC 740 “Income taxes” effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

(p) 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 currency of the Company and its subsidiaries include the U.S. dollar or the Hong Kong dollar. The financial
statements of all subsidiaries are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” which is now
codified as FASB ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” effective for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. All assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and all income and expense
items are translated at the average rates of exchange over the year. All exchange differences arising from the translation of
subsidiaries’ financial statements are recorded as a component of comprehensive income.

The exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar were approximately 7.7998, 7.7499 and 7.7543 as of

December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

(q) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders 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 shares that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

(r) Stock options

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, as more fully described in Note 9(b). The Company measures the

cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
That cost is 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
are estimated using option-pricing models. If the award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost is
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.

(s)

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.

(t)

Comprehensive income (loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) represents principally unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities and

foreign currency translation adjustments and is included in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

(u) Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, fixed deposits maturing over three months, accounts receivable, other

receivable, entrusted loan receivable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, dividend payable and entrusted loan payable
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.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. In October 2008, the FASB
issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-3 “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not
Active” (“FSP SFAS 157-3”). FSP SFAS 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active, and provides
guidance on the key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not
active. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the measurement and disclosure requirements related to financial assets and
financial liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities did not have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations or the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities.

FSP SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP SFAS 157-2”) delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all

nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until the fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2008. The application of SFAS
157 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial
position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. It amends the other-than-temporary
impairment guidance in Accounting Principle Generally Accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for debt securities to make the
guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity
securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-
than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FAS 157-4 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15,
2009 and the adoption of FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

SFAS 157 is now codified as FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” effective for interim and annual periods

ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 820 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of
operations and financial position.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2009, the Company did not have any nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or

disclosed at fair value in the financial statements, at least annually, on a recurring basis.

(v) Recent changes in accounting standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—
Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). Under SFAS 159, a company may choose, at specified
election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option
has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 159, which
is now codified as FASB ASC 825-10-50-28 “Financial Instruments — overall — disclosure — Fair value Option”, but the
Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments as of December 31, 2008 and 2009.

(v) Recent changes in accounting standards- continued

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combination” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R is

relevant to all transactions or events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS 141R requires an
acquirer to recognize any assets and noncontrolling interest acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as of the
acquisition date. Liabilities related to contingent consideration are recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition
rather than at a later date when the amount of the consideration may be resolved beyond a reasonable doubt. This revised approach
replaces SFAS 141’s cost allocation process in which the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their respective fair value. SFAS 141R requires any acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs to
be expensed as incurred as opposed to allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as previously required by
SFAS 141. Under SFAS 141R, an acquirer recognizes liabilities for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting only if the
requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, are met. SFAS 141R allows for
the recognition of pre-acquisition contingencies at fair value only if these contingencies are likely to materialize. If this criterion is
not met at the acquisition date, then the acquirer accounts for the non-contractual contingency in accordance with recognition
criteria set forth under SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, in which case no amount should be recognized in purchase
accounting. SFAS 141R is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008, which is
now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination”. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — An

Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity on the financial statements. SFAS 160
requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
noncontrolling interest. Furthermore, disclosure of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the
noncontrolling interest is required on the face of the financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s
first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008 and now is codified as FASB ASC 810-10-45-16 “Consolidation —Overall —
Other Presentation Matter — Noncontrolling Interest in a Subsidiary”. Accordingly, in 2009, minority interests has been renamed
noncontrolling interests, consolidated net income (loss) is reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
noncontrolling interests and Nam Tai’s shareholders for all periods presented. In addition, noncontrolling interests has been
reported as a component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in equity and
comprehensive income for all periods presented. The Company has retrospectively applied the presentation to its prior year
balances in the consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the

factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset in this FSP shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. This FSP is now
codified as FASB ASC 350-20, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Goodwill” effective for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 350-20 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in
Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities”. This FSP gives guidance on the computation of earnings per
share and the impact of share-based instruments that contain certain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The
FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008 and is now codified as FASB-ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock
Compensation” effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB-ASC 718 did not
have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In November 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Task Force in EITF Issue 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive

Intangible Assets” (“EITF 08-7”). EITF 08-7 requires entities that will acquire a defensive intangible asset after the effective date of
SFAS 141R which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination” effective for interim and annual periods ending
after September 15, 2009, to account for the acquired intangible asset as a separate unit of accounting and amortize the acquired
intangible asset over the period during which the asset would diminish in value. EITF 08-7 is effective for defensive intangible
assets acquired in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF 08-7 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(v) Recent changes in accounting standards- continued

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business
Combination That Arise from Contingencies “. FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007),
“Business Combinations”, to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial
recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies in a business combination. FAS 141(R)-1 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 805 “Business Combination”. The adoption of FASB ASC 805 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary

Impairments”. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities
to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt
and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related
to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP SFAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for the interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities”. The
adoption of FASB ASC 320 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”.

FSP amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP
also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information
and is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 107 is now codified as FASB ASC 825-10-50
“Financial Instrument-Overall-Disclosure”. The adoption of FASB ASC 825-10-50 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 165 “Subsequent Events”. The objective of this Statement is to establish general

standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued
or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now
codified as FASB ASC 855 “Subsequent Events”. The adoption of FASB ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Effective February 24, 2010, the Company adopted Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements”, which removes the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The
adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement

No. 140”. The objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the
information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.
SFAS 166 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, which is now codified as FASB ASC 860-10
“Transfers and Servicing - Overall”. The adoption of FASB ASC 860-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46” The objective of this Statement is to

amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”,
to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable
information to users of financial statements. SFAS 167 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009,
which is now codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation — Overall — Disclosure — Variable Interest Entities”. The
adoption of FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No 162”, which supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards. The codification does not change GAAP but rather organizes it into a new hierarchy with two levels:
authoritative and non-authoritative. All authoritative GAAP carries equal weight and is organized in a topical structure. The
adoption of SFAS 168 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(v) Recent changes in accounting standards- continued

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)”. This ASU applies

to all entities that measure liabilities at fair value within the scope of Topic 820 and provides clarification on how to measure
liabilities at fair value when a quoted price in an active market is not available and clarify that it is not required to include a separate
input or adjustment to other inputs relating to a restriction of transfer of liabilities. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-06, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Implementation Guidance on Accounting for

Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, and it provides implementation guidance on
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes effective for interim and annual reporting period ending on or after September 15, 2009.
The adoption of ASU No. 2009-06 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in

Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This update applies to all entities that hold an
investment that is required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. These amendments permit,
as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of investment on the basis of the net asset value per share of the
investment and require disclosures by major category of investment within the scope of this update. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective
for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009 and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”. The amendments in this update are the result of FASB Statement No. 167
“Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R)”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 810-10-50-2A “Consolidation — Overall
— Disclosure — Variable Interest Entities” and is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The
adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)”, in which it clarifies that the scope of the

decrease in ownership provision of the Subtopic and related guidance applies to a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or
nonprofit activity, but does not apply to sales of substance real estate & conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. ASU No. 2010-
02 is effective for the interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-02 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(17,345)
$ 2,951

In 2008, the Company performed the first step of its goodwill impairment test for each of its reporting units and determined that the
carrying value of the LCDP reporting unit exceeded its fair value in 2008 due to a combination of factors, including the deteriorating
macro-economic environment which resulted in a significant decline in customer demand, intense pricing pressure and increasing
competition of LCDP reporting unit. The fair value of the LCDP reporting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.
Having determined that the goodwill of the LCDP reporting unit was potentially impaired, the Company began performing the second
step of the goodwill impairment analysis which involves calculating the implied fair value of its goodwill by allocating the fair value of
the reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities other than goodwill and comparing the residual amount to the carrying value of
goodwill. Accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $17,345 on the LCDP reporting unit for the year ended
December 31, 2008.

In 2009, the fair value of the CECP reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow methodology, based on a discount rate of

9.8% and expected future cash flows. The expected future cash flows were based on a five-year plan (after taking into account of the
impact of the current financial crisis) provided by management and with a reasonable growth rate covering the five-year period as well as
the period beyond. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis for 2009 and concluded that the fair value of the CECP
reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of December 31, 2009. Therefore, no impairment loss was recognized in 2009.

Investments

(a) Investments in available-for-sale marketable securities

In January 2002, the Company acquired a 6% equity interest in TCL Holdings Corporation Ltd., now known as TCL Corporation,
for a consideration of $11,968. TCL Corporation, an enterprise established in the PRC, is the parent company of the TCL Group of
companies. TCL Corporation’s scope of business includes the import and export of raw materials, the design, manufacturing and
sales and marketing of telephones, VCD players, color television sets, mobile phones and other consumer electronic products. TCL
Corporation changed from a limited liability company to a company limited by shares in April 2002 (the “Establishment Date”).

In January 2004, TCL Corporation listed its A-shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at RMB4.26 (equivalent to US$0.52) per A-
share. The Company’s interest in TCL Corporation was then diluted to 3.69% and represented 95.52 million promoter’s shares of
TCL Corporation after its initial public offering. According to Article 147 of the Company Law of the PRC, the Company was
restricted to transfer its promoter’s shares within three years from the Establishment Date. The Company was, however, entitled to
dividend and other rights similar to the holders of A-shares.

In April 2006, pursuant to the Split Share Structure Reform (“SSR”) of TCL Corporation, the Company’s interest in TCL

Corporation was changed from 95,516,112 promoter shares to 80,600,173 A-shares diluting its interest from 3.69% to 3.12%. As a
result of the reduction in the number of shares in TCL Corporation, the Company recorded a loss of $1.3 million ($1.9 million
before sharing with noncontrolling interests). The A-shares became 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.

In April 2007, the Company disposed of its entire interest in the A-shares of TCL Corporation through the Shenzhen Stock

Exchange. The net proceeds from the disposal were $54 million (net of commission, expenses and stamp duty), resulting in a gain
of approximately $43.8 million.

Significant transactions

(i)

In May 2007, the Company acquired a total of 54,514,000 ordinary shares of NTEEP for cash consideration of $13,054. In

June 2007, the Company disposed of a total of 29,199,000 ordinary shares of NTEEP for cash considerations of approximately
$6,586. The disposal resulted in a net gain on partial disposal of a subsidiary of approximately $325 after deducting the goodwill
of $134. The acquisition and disposal resulted in 73.18% equity interest held in NTEEP as of December 31, 2007.

In May, June and July 2008, the Company further acquired a total of 14,986,000 ordinary shares of NTEEP for cash

consideration of $2,906 resulting in 74.88% equity interest held in NTEEP as of December 31, 2008.

In 2009, the Company acquired all of the outstanding 221,455,118 ordinary shares of NTEEP for a cash consideration of $43,434
and completed the privatization of NTEEP. As a result of the privatization, the additional paid-in capital increased by $2,430 in
2009.

(ii) In December 2007, the Company completed its reorganization of internal structure involving its two former Hong Kong Stock

Exchange (“SEHK”) listed subsidiaries, NTEEP and JIC Technology (“Reorganization”). The purpose of the Reorganization was
for the Company to centralize all electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) business into NTEEP and non-EMS business into
JIC Technology. The result was to turn NTEEP into a flagship EMS provider.

Pursuant to the Reorganization, NTEEP acquired 100% equity interests in ZPTL and 100% equity interests in Jetup from the

Company while JIC Technology acquired 100% equity interest in both Shenzhen Namtek Company Limited (“Namtek
Shenzhen”) and Namtek Japan Company Limited (“Namtek group”).

Upon the completion of the Reorganization, the Company’s effective shareholding in Namtek group increased from 73.18% to

74.99% while the effective shareholding in ZPTL and Jetup decreased from 100% to 73.18%, and 74.99% to 73.18%,
respectively. The Company continued to own 73.18% and 74.99% equity interest in NTEEP and JIC Technology respectively as
of December 31, 2007.

(iii) In February 2008, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with an independent third party, pursuant to which the
Company agreed to sell its entire interest in JIC Technology and its subsidiaries to this independent third party for a cash
consideration of approximately $51,100. The disposal completed in March 2008 and resulted in a net gain of approximately
$20,206. Upon the completion of the disposal, the Company no longer has any equity interest in JIC Technology and its
subsidiaries, including the Namtek group.

Retained earnings and reserves

The Company’s retained earnings are not restricted as to the payment of dividends except to the extent dictated by prudent business
practices. The Company believes that there are no material restrictions, including foreign exchange controls, on the ability of its non-
PRC subsidiaries to transfer surplus funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans, advances or purchases. With respect to
the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, there are restrictions on the payment of dividends and the distribution of dividends from the PRC.
On March 16, 2007, the PRC promulgated the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “New Law”) by Order No. 63 of the
President of the PRC. Please refer to Note 12 for further details of the New Law. The New Law became effective from January 1,
2008. Prior to the enactment of the New Law, when dividends are paid by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, such dividends would
reduce the amount of reinvested profits and accordingly, the refund of taxes paid might be reduced to the extent of tax applicable to
profits not reinvested. Subsequent to the enactment of the New Law, due to the removal of tax benefit related to reinvestment of
capital in PRC subsidiaries, the Company may not reinvest the profits made by the PRC subsidiaries. Payment of dividends by PRC
subsidiaries to foreign investors on profits earned subsequent to January 1, 2008 will also be subject to withholding tax under the New
Law. In addition, pursuant to the relevant PRC regulations, a certain portion of the profits made by these subsidiaries must be set aside
for future capital investment and are not distributable, and the registered capital of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are also restricted.
These reserves and registered capital of the PRC subsidiaries amounted to $270,509 and $270,548 as of December 31, 2008 and 2009,
respectively. However, the Company believes that such restrictions will not have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity or cash
flows.

(b) Stock Options

In May 2001 (and amended in July 2004 and in November 2006), the Board of Directors approved a stock option plan which would

grant 15,000 options to each non-employee director of the Company elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders, and might
grant options to key employees, consultants or advisors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to subscribe for its shares in
accordance with the terms of this stock option plan based on past performance and/or expected contributions to the Company. The
maximum number of shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted was 3,300,000 shares. The options granted under
this plan generally have a term of two to three years, subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors, but cannot exceed ten years.

(d) Share Redemptions and Reinstatement of Redeemed Shares

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 Inc. (“Tele-Art”) at a price of $3.73 per share for $1,549.

On August 12, 2002, pursuant to its Articles of Association, the Company redeemed and canceled an additional 509,181 shares of the

Company beneficially owned by Tele-Art at a price of $6.14 per share for $3,125.

No shares have been redeemed since August 12, 2002.

On November 20, 2006, judgment was rendered by the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom

(the “Privy Council”), declaring that the redemptions by the Company of its common shares beneficially owned by Tele-Art on
January 22, 1999 and August 12, 2002 were nullities and that the register of members of the Company (i.e. the Company’s
shareholders’ register) should be rectified to reinstate the redeemed shares together with any other shares which have since accrued by
way of exchange or dividend.

Following the November 20, 2006 judgment, the Company received the order from the Privy Council on January 9, 2007 to rectify the
share register of Nam Tai by registering such 1,017,149 (after adjustment of the 1 for 10 stock dividend on November 7, 2003) shares
(the “Redeemed Shares”) in the name of Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited (“Bank of China”). In March 2007, the Company issued
the 1,017,149 common shares. However, as the court judgment was determined in 2006, the Company 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.

The Company operates a retirement benefit scheme (“RBS”) for all qualifying employees in Macao (terminated in March 2009) and a
Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) scheme for all qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The RBS and MPF are defined contribution
schemes and the assets of the schemes are managed by trustees independent to the Company.

Both the RBS and MPF are available to all employees aged 18 to 64 and with at least 60 days of service under the employment of the

Company in Macao and Hong Kong. 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 benefit can be withdrawn by
the employees in Macao at the end of employment contracts while the benefits are required by law to be preserved until the retirement age
of 65 for employees in Hong Kong.

According to the applicable laws and regulations in the PRC, the Company is required to contribute 10% to 11% of the stipulated salary
set by the local government of Shenzhen. 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 Macao, Hong Kong Japan and the PRC amounted to $1,800,

$1,814 and $1,480 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

The Company’s income is not subject to taxation in BVI under the current BVI law. 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 have
income earned in or derived from Hong Kong, if applicable.

The provision for current income taxes of the subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong has been calculated by applying the rate of taxation of

17.5% for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 16.5% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009 to the estimated income
earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the respective years if applicable.

The basic corporate tax rate for Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) in the PRC, such as NTSZ, Zastron Shenzhen, Namtek

Shenzhen and Jetup (collectively the “Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries”) was 33% (30% state tax and 3% local tax) as of December 31, 2007.
However, because all of these PRC subsidiaries are located in Shenzhen and are involved in production operations, they qualified for a
special reduced state tax rate of 15%. In addition, the local tax authorities in Shenzhen were not levying any local tax as of December 31,
2007. In 2006, two new FIEs, Wuxi Zastron Tech and Wuxi Zastron Flex were established. They are located in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province,
the PRC and Wuxi Zastron Flex commenced production in 2009. They are entitled to an exemption from the enterprise income tax in the
PRC for two years commencing from 2008, following a 50% relief from enterprise income tax in the PRC for the next three years.

Pursuant to the old PRC Tax Law, for FIEs such as NTSZ, Zastron Shenzhen, Namtek Shenzhen and Jetup which export 70% or more of
the production value of their products, a reduction in the tax rate was 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 by the
Company’s Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries under the old PRC Tax Law:

In 2007, NTSZ paid $9,145 and received a tax refund of $544 for being an export-oriented enterprise for the year 2006, and $431

from reinvestment of profit for the year 2005. In 2008, NTSZ received a tax refund of $2,045 from profit reinvestment for 2005 and
2006, and $3,568 for being an export-oriented enterprise for year 2007.

In 2007, Zastron Shenzhen paid $354 and received a tax refund of $191 and $494 from reinvestment of profits for 2005 and 2006,

respectively.

In 2007, Namtek Shenzhen was entitled to a 5% tax refund for being an export-oriented enterprise.

In 2007, Jetup received a tax refund of $137 for being an export-oriented enterprise for the year 2006. Besides, Jetup also received

$98 and $258 from reinvestment of profits for the years 2005 and 2006, respectively.

In year 2006, 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. NTSZ, Zastron Shenzhen 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, 2007, tax
recoverable under such arrangements was $5,365, which was included in income taxes recoverable and received during 2008.

On March 16, 2007, the PRC promulgated the New Law. Under the New Law which became effective from January 1, 2008, inter alia,

the tax refund under the capital reinvestment scheme as described above is removed. As a result, for 2007, the Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries
have continued to provide enterprise income tax at a tax rate of 10% as discussed above. In addition, under the New Law, all enterprises
(both domestic enterprises and FIEs) will have one uniform tax rate of 25%. On December 6, 2007, the State Council of the PRC issued
Implementation Regulations of the New Law. The New Law and Implementation Regulations have changed the tax rate from 15% to
18%, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% for years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, and the years ending December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012,
respectively, for Shenzhen PRC subsidiaries. In 2007, the deferred tax balance was adjusted to reflect the tax rates that are expected to
apply. Moreover, under the New Law, there is no reduction in the tax rate for FIEs which export 70% or more of the production value of
their products with effect from January 1, 2008. As such, the Company does not have any further benefit for 2008 and 2009 after the
implementation of the New Law.

The Company, which has subsidiaries that are tax resident in the PRC, will be subject to the PRC dividend withholding tax of 5% when
and if undistributed earnings are declared to be paid as dividends commencing on January 1, 2008 to the extent those dividends are paid
out of profits that arose on or after January 1, 2008.

(cid:129)

Income Taxes-continued

The limitation of the Company’s obligation for the 5% dividend withholding tax to only those dividends paid out of earnings that arose
on or after January 1, 2008 is due to guidance issued by the PRC government in February 2008. As such, the Company’s tax provision
includes $740 and $363 of income tax expense for the 5% dividend withholding tax on the balance of distributable earnings that arose on
or after January 1, 2008 within its PRC subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 respectively.

Uncertainties exist with respect to how the PRC’s current income tax law applies to the Company’s overall operations, and more

specifically, with regard to tax residency status. The New Law includes a provision specifying that legal entities organized outside of the
PRC will be considered residents for PRC income tax purposes if their place of effective management or control is within PRC. The
Implementation Rules to the New Law provide that non-resident legal entities will be considered PRC residents if substantial and overall
management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. occurs within the PRC.
Additional guidance is expected to be released by the PRC government in the near future that may clarify how to apply this standard to
taxpayers. Despite the present uncertainties resulting from the limited PRC tax guidance on the issue, the Company does not believe that
its legal entities organized outside of the PRC should be treated as residents for the New Law’s purposes. If one or more of the
Company’s legal entities organized outside of the PRC were characterized as PRC tax residents, the impact would adversely affect the
Company’s results of operation.

The Company has made its assessment of the level of tax authority for each tax position (including the potential application of interest

and penalties) based on the technical merits, and has measured the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the tax positions. Based on
the evaluation by the Company, it is concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the
consolidated financial statements. The Company classifies interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of
income tax provisions; however, as of December 31, 2008 and 2009, there were no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions, and the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefit which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future
periods. The Company does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to its liability for unrecognized tax benefit within the
next twelve months. Other than the audit by the Hong Kong tax authorities as described below, the tax positions for the years 2007 to
2009 may be subject to examination by the PRC and Hong Kong tax authorities.

Since the fourth quarter of 2007, various of our inactive subsidiaries have been involved in tax disputes from year 1996 onwards with the

Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, or HKIRD, the income tax authority of the Hong Kong Government.

In October 2007, the HKIRD issued an assessment Determination against NTTC, a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong
and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This assessment relates to four tax years from 1996/1997 to 1999/2000. The
taxes assessed in this proceeding amount to approximately $2,900.

After consulting Hong Kong tax experts, Nam Tai believed that the position of the HKIRD for the years in question was incorrect as a

matter of law and accordingly NTTC objected to the HKIRD’s assessment and appealed it to the Hong Kong Board of Review, an
independent body established under Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance to hear appeals of HKIRD assessments. In December 2008,
the Board of Review dismissed the Company’s appeal. According to advice from Senior Counsel in Hong Kong, the Court of Appeal in
Hong Kong is unlikely to disturb the findings of the Board of Review. As such, NTTC has decided not to proceed with the appeal.

In addition to the assessment Determination of October 2007, in May 2008, the HKIRD issued a writ against NTTC claiming taxes in the

amount of approximately $3,000 for the taxable years from 1997/1998 to 2000/2001, partially overlapping the taxes against NTTC
assessed by HKIRD in its assessment Determination of October 2007. Nam Tai’s defence was then struck out by the District Court in
Hong Kong. According to advice from Senior Counsel in Hong Kong, the Court of Appeal is unlikely to disturb the findings of the
District Court. As such, NTTC has decided not to appeal against the decision of the District Court.

The HKIRD has also made estimated assessments against NTGM, another wholly owned subsidiary of Nam Tai, which has been inactive
since 2005. This assessment, which relates to the tax years of 2001 and 2002, is in the amount of approximately $172, including interest
allegedly due thereon. On December 17, 2008, the Hong Kong tax authorities issued a Writ of Summons through the District Court in
Hong Kong claiming against NTGM for the amount of $172 as taxes allegedly due and payable, together with interest, to the Hong Kong
tax authorities for the fiscal years 2001 to 2002. NTGM filed its defense on January 29, 2009, but on February 17, 2009, HKIRD filed
papers seeking to strike out the Defence. As the Defence of NTGM was similar to the defense of NTTC and Senior Counsel has advised
that the Defence of NTTC is not arguable before the court, NTGM has accordingly agreed with HKIRD to allow Judgment to be entered
against NTGM by consent.

HKIRD does not accept Nam Tai’s explanations that it was necessary for these subsidiaries to perform their individual functions for the

whole Nam Tai group and therefore the management fees paid by the Company by contract 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
HKIRD.

Income Taxes-continued

Since it is believed that it will be difficult for these subsidiaries to continue co-operating with HKIRD in the future, if the Company

discontinues financing 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 some time, and have either assets of limited book-value or no assets, it is believed that there should
be no impact from these proceeding on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Accordingly, no provision has been made regarding these assessments in Nam Tai’s consolidated financial statements.

The current and deferred components of the income tax expense appearing in the consolidated statements of income are as follows:

Year ended December 31,

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 are attributable to the following:

The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 was related to net operating losses carried forward that, in the judgment of

management, are more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible.

As of December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Company had net operating losses of $5,943, $3,663 and $3,326, respectively, which may

be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating losses of $6,410 and $5,392, respectively,
which will expire in the year ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

A reconciliation of the income tax expense to the amount computed by applying the current tax rate to the income before income taxes in

the consolidated statements of income is as follows:

No income tax arose in the United States of America in any of the periods presented.

Additional tax that would otherwise have been payable without tax holidays and tax concessions amounts to approximately $3,902, nil
and nil in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively (representing a decrease in the basic earnings and diluted
earnings per share of $0.08, nil and nil in the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively).

Entrusted loan receivable/payable

During the year ended December 31, 2008, two of the PRC subsidiaries of the Company, NTSZ and Jetup, entered into an entrusted loan
arrangement in the amount of $8,199 with a bank, in which NTSZ acts as the entrusting party, the bank acts as the lender and Jetup acts
as the borrower (the “Entrusted Loan”). The Entrusted Loan receivable and Entrusted Loan payable cannot be offset and bear interest of
5% per annum and are repayable within one year. The Entrusted Loan is used to finance the operation and working capitals needs of
Jetup. The entrusted loan was repaid in July 2009.

14.

Financial Instruments

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

and accounts receivable. As at December 31, 2009, two major receivables accounted for 35% and 13% of total accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are deposits placed at banks with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits the

Company’s exposure to concentrations of credit risk.

The accounts 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 $25 and $59 as of
December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
