Going Concern
The unaudited consolidated financial information of the Company for the first quarter of 2021 has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31,the Company had net current liabilities of $33 million which,among other conditions and uncertainties,raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition to the continuing negotiations with the Lending Banks and certain other creditors,the Company is evaluating several methods of financing,such as additional external financings,acceleration of the leasing of Nam Tai Inno Park,and presale of Nam Tai Technology Center and Nam Tai - Longxi,failing which rights offering and project disposal will also be considered. Currently,the Company intends to raise loans from financial institutions and potential funders to maintain our normal operations.
However,there are significant uncertainties pertaining to the governing and management of the Company as a result of the postponing of a special meeting of shareholders. For more information,see "Recent Development – Appeal on the Judgement of the BVI Court". The appropriate course of actions may have to be decided by the Board and management subsequent to the meeting,while the current Board and management are committed to taking actions to preserve the best interests of all shareholders and explore options that will be able to be considered.

In January 2021,the inauguration ceremony of Nam Tai Entrepreneurs Club was successfully held at Nam Tai Inno Park Industry Service Center. More than 60 entrepreneurs who settled in Inno Park and officials from Shenzhen Guangming District Science and Technology Innovation Bureau attended the event. We established Nam Tai Entrepreneurs Club with the aim to foster engagement with entrepreneurs and create a resource sharing platform among the community of entrepreneurs.
Project Construction and Development Progress
For Nam Tai Inno Park,approximately 1,100 dormitory units have been delivered to our tenants. We are working on interior decoration of the industrial office of Towers 3 and 5. In the first quarter of 2021,we attracted 27 corporate tenants,mostly from the health,technology and related industries. The vast majority of our dormitory units in Inno Park have been delivered to tenants and our focus will shift to the leasing of industrial office and commercial spaces which we face fierce competition in the local market.
For Nam Tai Technology Center,we have completed the construction of main structure of Tower C as of March 31,2021. Currently we are undergoing the construction of main structures of Towers A,B and D. At present,we have not met the conditions for applying pre-sale permit for the project. One of the conditions for applying for the pre-sale permit is to enter into an industrial supervision agreement with the local authorities,under which we will be imposed certain performance indicators such as total investment amount on the Nam Tai Technology Center,and aggregated output value and tax contribution attained by the enterprises registered in Nam Tai Technology Center. There have been differences between the performance indicators that might be imposed by the local authorities and those proposed by us. We are in the process of negotiating the performance indicators with the local authorities,and there is no assurance that the local authorities will agree to the performance indicators proposed by us. If we cannot reach an agreement with the local authorities,we may not be able to obtain the pre-sale permit and commence pre-sale on time,or at all. Even if we are to enter into the industrial supervision agreement,failure to comply with the performance indicators set out in the agreement may result in substantial penalties and fines imposed by the local authorities. Any material adverse outcome from the negotiation with the local authorities may materially and adversely affect our business,financial condition,results of operations or cash flows. In addition,due to stressed liquidity condition of the Company,the construction progress of the project has been adversely affected. We are in negotiation with the relevant contractors.
For Nam Tai Inno Valley,we are still in the process of obtaining approval for our urban renewal application. Before obtaining the approval from local authorities,we will continue to lease out the units in Inno Valley in short-term tenancy. The occupancy rate of Inno Valley was 78% as of March 31,2021.
For Nam Tai - Longxi,the basement work has been completed. We are currently working on the main structure's construction. Due to stressed liquidity condition of the Company,the construction progress of the project has been adversely affected. We are negotiating with the contractors.
Industrial Operation Progress
In January 2021,"Nam Tai National High-tech Enterprise Cultivation and Innovation Center" was established in Nam Tai Inno Park with the objective to facilitate enterprises to obtain national qualification of high and new technology enterprise and to support the growth of enterprises through our comprehensive trainings. In March 2021,we organized the first training course "Nam Tai National High-tech Enterprise" in which representatives of the Science and Technology Innovation Association of Guangming Science City elaborated industrial development policies of Guangming District and we attracted 12 enterprise tenants to join. In the same month,we held the "Nam Tai Inno Park Enterprise Talent Fair" to assist the tenants on talent recruitment.
Real Estate Market Update
In the first quarter of 2021,the supply and demand of commercial housing in Dongguan hit a record high in the same period of nearly five years,of which the supply floor area and transacted floor area reached approximately 1.13 million and 1.42 million square meters,respectively,representing year-on-year growths of 136% and 118%. The average transaction price of commercial housing in Dongguan in this period increased by approximately 26% year-on-year to RMB28,479 per square meter.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Appeal on the Judgment of the BVI Court
On April 7,we filed an application to appeal the March 3,2021 judgment issued by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court in the High Court of Justice in the British Virgin Islands. The judgment held that the Private Placement previously announced by us on October 5,2020 was void and should be set aside. On April 20,in connection with our appeal of the judgment,the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal in the British Virgin Islands (the "Court of Appeal") has granted an order postponing the special meeting of shareholders previously scheduled for April 26,2021. The meeting will be rescheduled at a later date to be determined by the court in due course.
Supply Chain Fund Managed by Credit Suisse
We have placed $150 million out of the proceeds from the Private Placement to a supply chain fund managed by Credit Suisse (the "Fund") with the objective of seeking a stable and enhanced return through an insured cash management solution. As represented by Credit Suisse,the Fund was a safe "liquidity management tool" with a weekly redemption feature and "100% protection on the underlying investments". The underlying notes were insured by insurance companies with a credit rating of at least A by Standard & Poor's or A2 by Moody's. In January 2021,the Company received a redemption amount of $15 million from the Fund. Subsequently,the Fund was terminated on March 4,2021 and is being liquidated due to some of the Fund's assets being subject to considerable valuation uncertainty and reduced availability of insurance coverage for new investments. We have been notified by the Fund that the liquidation proceeds will be repaid in installments. As of April 26,we had received two installments in an aggregate of $68.7 million,or over 51% of the principal of $135 million,from the Fund.
On April 16,we sent a demand letter to Credit Suisse for the remaining repayments and reserved all our rights to take further legal actions for breach of duty,misrepresentation and/or mis-selling. On April 19,we filed complaints to Securities & Futures Commission of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Monetary Authority. We are actively negotiating with Credit Suisse and are committed to act in the best interest of the Company. There is no assurance that we can fully recover our principal from the Fund.
Industrial Supervision Agreement of Nam Tai Technology Center
We are negotiating an industrial supervision agreement with the local authorities before we can obtain the pre-sale permit for Nam Tai Technology Center,which includes performance indicators such as total investment amount on Nam Tai Technology Center,and the aggregated output value and tax contribution attained by the enterprises registered in Nam Tai Technology Center. The outcome of this negotiation is uncertain. For more information,please see "Business Overview – Project Construction and Development Progress".
Lawsuit filed by a supplier
On April 26,one of the Company's subsidiaries received a writ of summons from the Shenzhen Guangming District People's Court together with a civil complaint filed with such court by one of our suppliers,under which the supplier sought an order requiring us to settle the outstanding construction fees of around $ 5 million. We are negotiating with the supplier and seeking legal advice from external counsel.

Notes:
(a) The types of our projects are based on our development plans or certificates issued by the relevant authority subject to adjustment upon the final approval.
(b) The gross floor area is based on the assumption that we will receive M-0 zoning approval for the entire Inno Valley site prior to its redevelopment. If we do not receive the M-0 zoning approval,we will be required to develop Inno Valley under the M-1 zoning requirements. In that case,appropriate adjustments to our plan will have to be made. The existing gross floor area of Inno Valley is 41,927 square meters. According to "Shenzhen Industrial Block Range Line Management Measures",the location of Nam Tai Inno Valley is within the designated industrial block range,of which the government strictly controls the proportion of M-0 zoning on industrial land. Therefore,the proportion of M-0 zoning,floor area ratio and construction area of Inno Valley are subject to the final approval of the government which is uncertain at this time. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop Inno Valley according to the floor area currently disclosed.
(c) Properties completed refer to the status following the completion of the construction of the properties,the registration of the completion acceptance and the internal acceptance criteria.
(d) As of March 31,the construction of Towers 1,2,4,6,7,8,9 and 10 of Nam Tai Inno Park was completed.

ABOUT NAM TAI PROPERTY INC.
We are a real estate developer and operator,mainly conducting business in Mainland China. Our main land resources are located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area ("Greater Bay Area") and Wuxi,of which the three plots of land in Shenzhen will be developed into the technology parks of Nam Tai Inno Park,Nam Tai Technology Center and Nam Tai Inno Valley. We plan to build these technology parks into landmark projects in the region,and provide high-quality industrial offices,industrial service spaces and supporting dormitories to the park tenants. Based on the experience of developing and operating technology parks,and the industrial relationship network accumulated over the past 40 years,we have also exported the operation mode of technology parks to other industrial properties using the asset-light model to rent industrial properties for repositioning and business invitation. We will also expand the commercial and residential property business in China as an auxiliary development strategy of the Company. As the growth prospects of China maintain,we will actively seize development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and other first- and second-tier cities in China,and continue to strengthen and expand the business of industrial real estate,and commercial and residential properties.
Nam Tai Property Inc. is a corporation registered in the British Virgin Islands and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Symbol: "NTP"). Please refer to the Nam Tai website (www.namtai.com) or the SEC website (www.sec.gov) for our press releases and financial results.
