Notes:

 

(a) The Company’s ratios have been restated according to the reclassified assets and liabilities resulting from the discontinued Liquid Crystal Display Panels (“LCDP”) product business. Please see page 8 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for further information. This information has also been published on the Company’s website at http://www.namtai.com/quarterly/quarterly.htm in the quarterly earnings report of 1Q2012 on page 8, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(b) According to the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-10-20 “Balance Sheet” definition, cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. Only investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased qualify under that definition. Therefore, the fixed deposits maturing over three months are not classified as cash on hand but require separate disclosure. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s cash increased due to a decrease of $29.7 million in fixed deposits maturing over three months, which increased our available cash on hand.

OPERATING RESULTS

The net sales for the first quarter of 2012 and 2011 excluded the discontinued product business of low-end monochrome Liquid Crystal Display Panels (“LCDP”), the net sales of which were $11.5 million and $19.5 million, gross (loss) profit was ($1.5 million) and $2.6 million and operating (loss) income was ($3.5 million) and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Please see page 7 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for further details. This information has been published on the Company’s website at http://www.namtai.com/quarterly/quarterly.htm in the quarterly earnings report of 1Q2012 on page 7, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The first quarter of 2012 was a transitional period between our discontinued product lines of lower-margin and smaller orders and our ramp up for production of high-resolution LCD modules (“LCM”) for tablets and smartphones, which we anticipate will be characterized by higher-growth and larger orders.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2012 were $94.1 million, down 33.9% from net sales of $142.4 million for the same quarter of 2011. Gross profit was $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2012, decreased by 45.3% from $5.6 million for the same quarter last year. Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 3.3%, down from 3.9% for the first quarter of 2011. This decrease was driven by the discontinuation of our product lines of lower-margin and smaller orders prior to our commencing production of larger quantities of high-resolution LCM for tablets and smartphones. The persistent delay in the production for the major new orders resulted from the continued refinement of some key components, provided by our customers’ selected suppliers, the quality of which was not yet stabilized and pending customers’ approval of their selected suppliers. It also resulted from modification of the specifications by the customers.

However, following the customer’s instruction and complying with its request according to its order schedule, we have made the Company’s labor force and corresponding facilities ready since December 2011 to begin the production for the major order of high-resolution LCM for tablets, for which we incurred costs and overhead expenses and further diminished our gross profit margin. Although the customer has partially compensated us for the incurred costs and overhead expenses caused by the delay of production, we have not fully recovered all the incurred cost and overhead expenses related to the postponement of production and lost revenue due to the delay.

As a result, we had an operating loss of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with an operating loss of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2011, and a net loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with a net income of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.

EXPANSION PROJECTS

The Company has two separate site-expansion projects in progress, one in Shenzhen and one in Wuxi. Currently, local government authorities have been actively working with the Company on these matters. The Company anticipates both lands will be released to us within this year and will be used for the improvement and expansion of our production facilities in both cities in the coming year.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

The Company’s revenue decreased by 33.9% for the first quarter of 2012 when compared with the first quarter of 2011 excluding the contribution from the discontinued low-end monochrome LCDP product business. This significant revenue decline was mainly due to the transition from the discontinued product lines and the delay in our ramp up of production for the customers’ new orders of high-resolution LCM for tablets and smartphones.

For the new order of tablet high-resolution LCM in Wuxi, the production could be further delayed due to the quality of key components provided by the customer’s selected suppliers, the quality of which was unable to meet the customer’s approval and these components are being tested by the customer.

For the new order from another customer of smartphone high-resolution LCM in Shenzhen, the customer’s continuous modification of the specifications also caused a delay on the final sample approval. The schedule of production is largely subject to the customer’s finalizing the product specifications and approval of its selected suppliers.

The Company reasonably believes that both customers have the capability to settle such matters.

Due to these uncertainties, the Company may be unable to achieve its sales target in 2012.

However, a number of factors would affect our revenue and margins, including: components shortages, quality instability, delivery delays caused by the customers’ selected suppliers; order cancellations, order postponements; the quantity of actually placed order may be different from the forecast order; the labor shortage or customers may request unit price reductions at anytime. It is also important to note that customers do not guarantee the utilization of our invested capacity.

The LCM assembly business is highly competitive. The increase in sales may not completely relieve pressure on our profit margins. Increasing inflation in China and appreciation of the Renminbi may further increase our labor cost, other overhead and material cost, thus increasing pressure on our margins, in addition to tax increases. The above risks could affect our anticipated sales and profit margins in 2012.

PAYMENT OF QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS FOR 2012

As announced on October 31, 2011, the Company set payment of quarterly dividends for 2012. The dividends for Q2 2012 were paid on April 20, 2012. The following table repeats and updates the previously announced schedule for declaration and payment of quarterly dividends in 2012.

The Company’s decision to continue dividend payments in 2012 does not necessarily mean that dividend payments will continue thereafter. Whether future dividends will be declared will depend upon the Company’s future growth and earnings, of which there can be no assurance, and the Company’s cash flow needs for future expansion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that cash dividends on the Company’s common shares will be declared beyond those declared for 2012, what amounts of such dividends will be or whether such dividends, once declared for a specific period, will continue for any future period, or at all.
