Restricted Cash

The Company repaid the amount due to the Bank of Beijing and Industrial Bank in September 2021, and relevant bank accounts have been released.

Real estate properties held for lease, net increased by $59.5 million from $92.2 million as of December 31, 2020 to $151.7 million as of September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the transfer of Tower 3 and 5 of Nam Tai Inno Park from real estate properties under development to real estate properties held for lease during the nine months of 2021.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable increased by $9.1 million from $61.6 million as of December 31, 2020 to $70.7 million as of September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the increase of project payable of $3.6 million, $0.01 million and $5.7 million for Nam Tai Technology Center, Nam Tai Inno Park and Nam Tai • Longxi, respectively, offset partially by the decrease of project payable of $0.2 million for other subsidiaries.
Advance from Customers
Advance from customers decreased by $64.1 million from $69.7 million as of December 31, 2020 to $5.6 million as of September 30, 2021.

Real Estate Market Update
China's property sector was cooling down in terms of sales and investment in the third quarter of 2021. The nationwide transacted gross floor area and the sales in September 2021 recorded a drop of 13% and 15.8% year-on-year, respectively. With respect to the real estate development expenditures, it grew by 8.8% for the first nine months of 2021 year-on-year, which was the lowest this year.
The performance of office and residential markets vary. The absorption of office space in gross floor area in Shenzhen increased by 86.5% quarter-on-quarter to approximately 307,000 square meter, which drove down the vacancy rate by 2.6 percentage points to 23.9%, according to a research institution's report. With respect to Dongguan's residential market, there was a decline in supply with stiffened selling prices in the third quarter of 2021. The transacted gross floor area for new residential units in Dongguan City decreased by 53.8% to approximately 1.09 million square meter while the average selling price increased by 12% to approximately RMB27,600 per square meter.
From the policy perspective, in order to promote the healthy development of the housing market, the PRC government has been rolling out restrictive measures with the objective to curb the rapid price increase in housing and speculation activities. In the first half of 2021, PRC government implemented two policies in relation to real estate financing, among others, to regulate the financing activities of real estate developers, which are the "Three Red Lines" policy (liability to asset ratio (excluding advance receipt) being less than 70%, net gearing ratio being less than 100% and cash to short-term debt ratio being more than 1 multiple) and the "Two Red Lines" concentration policy for financial institutions, respectively. Under these policies, the domestic real estate loans for the first nine months of 2021 dropped by 8.4% year-on-year to RMB1.877 trillion.
In Dongguan's housing market, local government has also promulgated restrictive measures to curb the rapid rise in housing price. On August 2, 2021, Dongguan Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued the Notice on Further Regulating and Controlling the Real Estate Market to regulate the real estate market in terms of tightening residential unit buyer's restrictions, monitoring capital inflow to the property market, strengthening real estate tax supervision and regulation, establishing a second-hand housing transaction guidance price system, and strengthening commodity housing sales supervision. Further, in September 2021, Dongguan Natural Resources Bureau issued the Notice on Further Strict Bidding for Residential Land which stipulated that measures will be strictly carried out to examine the qualifications of land purchasers and strengthen the examination of the sources of funds for land purchase. In addition, in October 2021, Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on the Establishment of a Mechanism for Issuing Reference Prices of Second-hand Housing Transactions, which stipulated that relevant institutions involved in second-hand housing transactions should take the reference prices of second-hand housing transactions as one of the reference bases for business development.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Financing Update
According to the Company's announcement dated September 14, 2021, Nam Tai Investment has entered into a loan agreement with Bank of Guangzhou for a loan facility of up to RMB1.06 billion (approximately $164 million) with a five- year term. As of September 30, 2021, Nam Tai Investment drew down approximately RMB575 million (approximately $88.6 million) under such loan facility.
In addition, the Company repaid the amount due to the Bank of Beijing and Industrial Bank in full in September 2021. The Company will continue its efforts to cure the defaults with other existing lenders and address the Company's liquidity issues progressively.
Dispute with IsZo Capital LP
On October 4, 2021, the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal in the British Virgin Islands (the "Court of Appeal") handed down a judgment (the "Appeal Judgment") dismissing the Company's appeal against the BVI Commercial Court's finding that, among other things, the Private Placement was void. The Court of Appeal upheld the Company's appeal against the finding of the BVI Commercial Court that the Company's directors acted in breach of section 120(1) of the BVI Business Companies Act 2004. Further, the Court of Appeal ordered the Company to hold a special meeting of shareholders regarding the removal and appointment of directors on November 30, 2021 (the "Proposed Special Meeting").
A consequential hearing regarding the Appeal Judgment was held on October 6, 2021 at which the Court of Appeal stayed its order directing the holding of the Proposed Special Meeting on condition that the Company file any application which it determined to make by October 18, 2021 for: (i) conditional leave to appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom (the "Privy Council"); (ii) a stay of execution to stay the Proposed Special Meeting pending the judgment on the Company's appeal to the Privy Council; and (iii) a variation of the order of the Court of Appeal dated October 4, 2021 (the "Three Applications"). Accordingly, the Company filed the Three Applications to the Court of Appeal on October 18, 2021 as directed. Further, on October 22, 2021, IsZo Capital LP filed application to the Court of Appeal for conditional leave to cross appeal to the Privy Council ("IsZo's Application"). The hearing by the Court of Appeal for the Three Applications and IsZo's Application is scheduled for November 8, 2021.
Supply Chain Finance Fund Managed by Credit Suisse (the "Fund")
The Company has placed $150 million out of the proceeds from the Private Placement to the Fund with the objective of seeking a stable and enhanced return through an insured cash management solution. In January 2021, the Company received a redemption amount of $15 million (the "Redemption") from the Fund. The Fund was terminated with effect as of March 4, 2021 due to some of the Fund's assets being subject to considerable valuation uncertainty and reduced availability of insurance coverage for new investments, and was subsequently in liquidation. The Company has been notified by Credit Suisse that the liquidation proceeds will be repaid by instalments. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had received five instalments in aggregate of $84.0 million (the "Repaid Sum") from the Fund in addition to the Redemption. The Company is restricted from dealing with the Repaid Sum as it belongs to the proceeds from the Private Placement. See "Financial Results – Restricted Cash" for more information.
The Company will continue to negotiate with Credit Suisse and is committed to act in the best interest of the Company. The Company will take all necessary steps to recover the rest of the principal invested where appropriate and as advised by the Company's external counsel. However, there is no assurance that the Company can fully recover the Company's principal from the Fund.
Lawsuits filed by the Company's suppliers
As at the date of this announcement, relevant subsidiaries of the Company has received a total of nine writs of summons from our suppliers in the PRC seeking orders from the relevant PRC courts to settle the alleged outstanding construction fees/payments amounting to an aggregate of approximately RMB92.5 million, in which the respective PRC courts have issued rulings to freeze the bank accounts of the relevant subsidiaries of the Company amounting to approximately RMB21.4 million in relation to three of the aforementioned writs of summons. We are negotiating with the relevant suppliers, and seeking legal advice from external counsel to prepare for the upcoming hearings. Due to the continuous effort of the Company, two of our suppliers withdrew their respective lawsuits against the Company after negotiations, involving an amount of approximately RMB14.8 million, and we have reached a settlement with one of our suppliers.

Notes:
(a) The types of the Company's projects are based on its 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 the Company will receive M-0 zoning approval for the entire Inno Valley site prior to its redevelopment. If the Company does not receive the M-0 zoning approval, the Company will be required to develop Inno Valley under the M-1 zoning requirements. In that case, appropriate adjustments to the Company's 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. The Company cannot guarantee that the Company 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.

ABOUT NAM TAI PROPERTY INC.
Nam Tai is a real estate developer and operator, mainly conducting business in Mainland China. The Company's main land resources are located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area ("Greater Bay Area") and Wuxi, the PRC, 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. The Company plans 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, the Company has 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. Nam Tai will also expand the commercial and residential property business in the PRC as an auxiliary development strategy of the Company. As the growth prospects of the PRC maintain, the Company will actively seize development opportunities in the Greater Bay Area and other first- and second-tier cities in the PRC, 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 the Company's press releases and financial results.
