Notes:
(a) Included in net income is other income consisted of $5.9 million

subsidiary listed in Hong Kong, compared to $1.4 million dividend
income from TCL Mobile Communication Company Limited in 2004.
(b) The Company has also incurred a one-time charge of $130,000 for the
restructuring of its operations.
Nam Tai is pleased to announce another all time quarterly sales record.
Sales growth was driven mainly by key components sub-assemblies, such as CMOS
image sensor modules for cellular phones with built in camera function and
flexible printed circuit board ("FPC") sub-assemblies. Net sales, and the
proforma operating earnings per share exceeds and is within our guidance
respectively. We also diversified our customer and product base. Most
importantly, we believe our growth potential has enhanced, as we commenced
operations, ahead of schedule, in our expanded production facilities.
The expansion of the Company's key components sub-assemblies business,
especially the FPC sub-assemblies business, has been very successful. As a
result, the gross profit margin was 11.7% compared with sales, as expected.
However, the gross profit has grown 28.8% compared with the first quarter of
2004
"Our performance in the first quarter provides a good momentum for our
business this year. We shall continue to expand our business and strive to
further enhance our profitability", said Mr. Joseph Li, CEO of Nam Tai, "The
new production facilities of Nam Tai have commenced operation. All key
financial performance indicators show improvement and the Company is
well-positioned to capture new business opportunities. The Company has
already announced several new business opportunities. We look forward to
achieving a new record sales and milestone in the second quarter of 2005. I
would also like to thank the management team of our subsidiaries, especially
Nam Tai Electronic & Electrical Products Limited ("NTEEP"), for their
magnificent contribution after NTEEP's listing in Hong Kong."
The Company is working towards full compliance with the relevant sections
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as scheduled. To further strengthen the management
of NTEEP, the Company is proposing to inject Namtek, its software subsidiary,
into NTEEP in exchange for shares of NTEEP. After completion of the
transaction, the ownership of the Company in NTEEP will increase from 71.25%
to 72.06%. The Company will make a profit of approximately $20 million on this
transaction at the company level. Such profit, however, will be eliminated
upon consolidation at the group level under accounting principles.

pleased to provide the following business projection for the second quarter of
