With respect to the discontinued operations (Shenzhen and Wuxi facilities), for the third quarter of 2014 and the same period of 2013, net sales were nil and $284.2 million, gross profit was nil and $23.2 million, and operating (loss) income was ($0.6) million and $20.1 million, respectively.

COMPANY OUTLOOK

As for the land in Shenzhen, the construction permit application processes have been proceeding smoothly, and we believe that we will obtain the necessary permits and approvals to carry out the next stage of our property development projects on schedule.

Overall, the real estate market in China is not flourishing and has slowed down recently. However, since our land is located in Shenzhen where the property market has remained stable in recent months, we believe the valuation of our land has also remained stable during this same time period.

The professional land evaluation reports for both projects (the Gushu Project and Guangming Project) have been made available on our website. The book value of the land will remain unadjusted on the Company's financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP unless there is an impairment charge. We plan to develop the Guangming Project first, and then the Gushu Project. Under the Board's approval, we are seeking potential joint venture partners and our joint-venture proposal will be, in part, based on information contained in these two reports and the Company will carry on to process the application of permit without delay. The Company expects to make announcements from time to time to keep shareholders informed about material developments.

As for our Wuxi plant, all production line machinery has been sold and the factory building continues to be listed for sale.

The current headcount of our Group is approximately 70 and we believe that our overhead expenses are under control. The Company currently derives a majority of its income from rental and interest income. As of September 30, 2014, total cash was $301.3 million. As a result of our cash position, we believe the Company's finances remain healthy to fund the initial stages of these property development projects in the next two to three years. We continue to focus our efforts on developing the two parcels of land in Gushu, Shenzhen, and Guangming, Shenzhen.

The information contained in or that can be accessed through the website mentioned in this announcement does not form part of this announcement.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM UPDATE

As of October 31, 2014, 2,199,000 common shares had been bought back from the open market at the prevailing market price under our stock repurchase program announced on May 7, 2014. The share repurchase has been conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is expected to be terminated around November 30, 2014.

PAYMENT OF QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS FOR 2014 and 2015

As announced on November 4, 2013, the Company has set the payment schedule of quarterly dividends for 2014. The dividend for Q4 2014 was paid on October 20, 2014.

The following table updates the previously announced schedule for declaration and payment of quarterly dividends in 2014.

The Company announced today that its Board authorized a plan, same as 2014, to distribute annual dividend of $0.08 ($0.02 x 4 quarters) per outstanding share of the Company's common stock, effective from the first quarter of 2015. After extensive review, the Board determined that the distribution of an annual dividend of $0.08, which maintains our dividend distribution program at a competitive level, is a prudent measure, in view of the fact that we have sufficient cash on hand to support our current share buyback program and the overhead expenses related to the land development projects in Shenzhen. The Company recognizes the importance of the dividend to our shareholders and the significance of this decision, and believes it is the right action at this time given the highly competitive market environment to further strengthen the Company for the long-term, while still providing an attractive dividend.

The Company's decision to continue dividend payments in 2015 as set out and confirmed in the above table does not necessarily mean that cash dividend payments will continue thereafter. Whether future dividends after 2015 are to be declared will depend upon Company's future growth and earnings at each relevant period, of which there can be no assurance, and the Company's cash flow needs for business transformation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that cash dividends on the Company's common shares will be declared beyond those declared for 2015, and we also cannot assure you that the 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE

Certain statements included in this press release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "plan", "seek" or "believe". These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activities, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, delay in the Company's ability to obtain all requisite permits and approvals from relevant government authorities in relation to the redevelopment of two parcels of properties in Gushu, Shenzhen, and Guangming, Shenzhen, respectively, and the successfully redevelopment of the two parcels of properties; the sufficiency of the Company's cash position and other sources of liquidity to fund its property developments; continued inflation and appreciation of the Renminbi against the US dollar; rising labor costs in China and changes in the labor supply and labor relations. In particular, you should consider the risks outlined under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and in our Current Report filed from time to time on Form 6-K. The Company's decision to continue dividend payments in 2015 does not necessarily mean that dividend payments will continue thereafter. Whether future dividends will be declared depend upon the Company's future growth and earnings, of which there can be no assurance, as well as the Company's cash flow needs for further expansion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that cash dividends on the Company's common shares will be declared beyond those declared for 2015, what amount that dividends may be or whether such dividends, once declared for a specific period, will continue for any future period, or at all; and whether we will purchase any of our shares in the open markets or otherwise. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this press release; as such, they should not be unduly relied upon as circumstances change. Except as required by law, we are not obligated, and we undertake no obligation, to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements that might reflect events or circumstance occurring after the date of this release or those that might reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ABOUT NAM TAI PROPERTY INC.

Through our electronics manufacturing services operations, we manufactured electronic components and subassemblies, i.e. LCD modules and FPCAs. These components are used in numerous electronic products, including smartphones, tablets, automotive, laptop computers, digital cameras, electronic toys, handheld video game devices, and entertainment devices.

We are thoroughly focusing our efforts on redeveloping two parcels of land in Gushu, Shenzhen, and Guangming, Shenzhen, respectively, by converting these two parcels of land into high-end commercial complexes. Subsequently, we believe our principal income in the future will be derived from the rental income from the commercial complexes.
