PART I
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
- -----------------
General
- -------
Trio-Tech International (the Company or the Registrant) was incorporated in
California in 1958. The Company is a designer, producer and marketer of
environmental testing equipment used to test the structural integrity of
semiconductor devices that must meet high-reliability specifications and rate of
turn test equipment for aerospace, geographical, laboratory and other
applications. In addition, the Company owns and operates facilities where a
broad range of structural and electronic tests are performed for manufacturers
and end-users of merchant and high-reliability semiconductor devices. The
Singapore subsidiary also acts as a distributor for certain test equipment made
by other manufacturers.
In 1976, the Company formed Trio-Tech International Pte Ltd (TTI Pte), a wholly
owned subsidiary, and it in turn formed Trio-Tech Test Services Pte Ltd (TTTS
Pte), its wholly owned subsidiary. They autonomously operate in the Republic of
Singapore, for the purpose of selling testing equipment and providing testing
services to integrated circuit manufacturers located in Singapore and elsewhere
in the Pacific basin. The Singapore facility benefits from moderate labor
costs, the absence of currency and tariff restrictions, and the presence of the
semiconductor manufacturing industry in Asia and the Pacific basin.
In August 1984, the Company formed a wholly owned Cayman Islands subsidiary,
European Electronic Test Centre (EETC). In July 1985, EETC commenced operation
of a semiconductor testing facility in Dublin, Ireland. The Company obtained a
grant from the Industrial Development Authority (IDA) of the Republic of Ireland
to provide 30% of actual expenditures for building modifications and fixed
assets up to a maximum of $1,279,000.
In 1985, the Company's Singapore subsidiary entered into a joint-venture
agreement with a group of Malaysian investors to operate a testing facility in
Penang, Malaysia. Under this agreement, the Singapore subsidiary provides the
equipment and management for the Penang facility. The operations of this entity
are included in the consolidated financial statements. In July l990, the joint
venture opened another testing facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This facility
is primarily involved in the testing business. In March 1994, this facility
started a new operation in Batang Kali, Malaysia. This new operation is set up
primarily to handle sub-contract work on optoelectronic assemblies.
On September 1, 1988, the Company acquired the Rotating Test Equipment Product
Line of Genisco Technology Corporation (Genisco).
On November 1, 1990, Trio-Tech acquired Express Test Corporation then of
Mountain View, California. The Company paid cash, notes and stock for Express
Test. Express Test is a manufacturer of pressurized vessels (autoclaves)
designed for humidity stress testing of integrated circuits. Whereas most of
Trio-Tech's integrated circuit testing devices are for hermetically sealed
ceramic devices, Express Test machines are designed to test plastic sealed
devices.
In October 1992, the Company's Singapore subsidiary formed Trio-Tech Bangkok
(TTBk), a wholly owned subsidiary which provides testing services in Bangkok,
Thailand. The Singapore subsidiary provides the equipment and management for
this operation.
In October 1993, the Company's Singapore subsidiary entered into a joint-venture
agreement with a Chinese company to operate a crude oil chemical processing
business in Wuhan, China. This business diversification involves a value added
production process in which crude oil is chemically processed, repackaged and
distributed to
<PAGE>
industrial users. In July 1995, the Company's Singapore subsidiary acquired a
51% equity interest in this joint-venture.
In November 1993, the Company's Singapore subsidiary acquired a 73% equity
interest in Prestal Enterprise Sdn Bhd (PESB), an investment holding company
which owned a 6% indirect share holding in Trio-Tech Malaysia (TTM). The
purpose was to acquire an additional 5% shareholding in TTM.
The following table sets forth the percentage of revenues derived from product
sales and testing services during the last three fiscal years and the breakdown
of revenues derived from customers in the United States, Southeast Asia and
Europe. The amounts represented in product sales and service include revenues
derived from the test equipment distribution business in Singapore. See Note
14, Business Segments, for a more detailed description.

Background Technology
- ---------------------
Semiconductors are fundamental building blocks used in electronic equipment and
systems. Integrated circuits consist of silicon "chips" of semiconductor
material that perform electronic functions, encapsulated in packaging material,
usually plastic or ceramic, having lead wires that connect to a printed circuit
board. Integrated circuits have become increasingly complex, with greater
capacity, versatility and smaller size. The protective packaging, whether
ceramic, plastic or some other material, is intended to hold the device in place
and protect it against corrosion, oxidization, shock, handling, temperature and
other problems that can result in the failure of the device. A minute defect in
the packaging can cause a semiconductor device to fail prematurely. The Company
manufactures test equipment for reliability analysis of both ceramic and plastic
encapsulated integrated devices.
Hermetically sealed (normally ceramic) packaging is required by military,
aerospace, telecommunications and other commercial users for semiconductor
devices that must have high reliability and long life. It is also used for
hybrid circuits and certain other specialized devices, and for semiconductor
devices that are produced in smaller quantities. There have been significant
advances in the plastics industry, thereby making plastic sealed devices as
reliable as ceramic ones. Plastic is the material of choice in the commercial
integrated circuit markets, because polymers are less expensive and easier to
process than ceramic materials.
Many manufacturers and purchasers of high-reliability integrated circuits follow
government-defined reliability standards, including rigorous military standard
specifications. Military specifications, which are detailed and precise, have
brought about considerable standardization of quality assurance programs in the
semiconductor industry.
<PAGE>
Military and commercial specifications include, among other things,
environmental testing, which is aimed at both detecting defective devices and
accelerating failure in potentially defective ones. An additional objective of
environmental testing is to determine and to evaluate statistically the ultimate
reliability and integrity of integrated circuits and to predict their
performance and durability under ordinary or adverse conditions. The devices
are tested before incorporating them into the finished product. The tests vary
according to the use for which the device is intended but usually include visuaL
inspection, stabilization bake, thermal shock temperature cycling, mechanical
shock, centrifugal force testing, fine and gross leak testing, burn-in testing
and electrical testing.
Products
- --------
The Company designs and manufactures environmental testing equipment for testing
of ceramic and plastic packaged integrated circuits. The Company's products are
sold both as separate products and as part of an integrated system for
environmental testing.
Centrifuges
The Company manufactures a line of centrifuges that tests the mechanical
integrity of hermetic encased electronic parts. The Company's centrifuges are
used to identify mechanical weaknesses of devices by spinning them at a
specified acceleration, creating a pressure of up to 30,000 g's (900,000 pounds
per square inch). This pressure will crack or break packages having certain
defects in the hermetic packages. The Company also designs the fixtures that
are inserted into the centrifuge to hold the semiconductors while they are being
tested.
Leak Testers
The Company also manufactures systems for leak detection in hermetically
packaged semiconductor devices. Certain defects may appear in some tests but
not in others, so that thorough testing requires three separate leak procedures
using different equipment. The Company manufactures a range of equipment and
systems designed to detect leaks in hermetic packaging by means of visual
scanning for bubble trails emanating from defective devices and radioactive
detection for ultra fine leaks.
Rate of Turn Tables
This product line includes centrifuges and rate of turn tables that are used in
applications for aerospace, electronics, instrumentation, environmental
laboratory, medical and geographical fields. Among the commercial applications
of these centrifuges are gravity simulation testing of components, assemblies
and systems for aerospace, military hardware (accelerometers, devices, fuses,
etc.), biomedical research, geophysical testing, automotive components, fluid
removal from sensitive components, gas removal from liquids and other
large-scale separation requirements. One prominent example of the product line
is the use of the 1100 Centrifuge at the Pittsburgh Eye and Ear Hospital in
rotational testing of the vestibule of the inner-ear system that causes
dizziness and unsteady eye and body movements when diseased. Typical rate of
turn table application is gyroscope calibration and testing, angular
accelerometers, turn and bank indicators, inertial platforms and direction
sensing equipment.
Burn-in Equipment and Fixtures
Trio-Tech International, Singapore is a leading burn-in system manufacturer in
the Pacific Basin. Burn-in equipment is used to subject all types of integrated
circuits to sustained heat while testing them electrically in order to identify
early product failures ("infant mortalities") as well as to assure long-term
reliability. Burn-in testing approximates, in a compressed time frame, the
electrical and thermal conditions to which the device would be subjected during
its normal life.
<PAGE>
The Singapore operation also offers test fixtures for its Cobis burn-in systems
and other brands of burn-in systems. Burn-in boards are used as fixture devices
for the purpose of electrically exercising test devices during high temperature
environmental stressing.
Pressurized Humidity Testing Equipment
The Company manufactures a range of pressurized humidity test equipment and
specialized test fixtures which the company continues to market under the name
of Express Test Corporation. Pressurized humidity test equipment utilizes a
pressurized vessel (autoclave) as the main test chamber in order to force
moisture into the plastic encapsulate and thereby determine the moisture
resistance of the test devices much more rapidly than non pressurized
conventional humidity test systems. Highly accelerated temperature and humidity
stress test systems offer reliability data for high reliability commercial IC
manufacturers and end-users such as computer, automotive and other commercial
customers.
Temperature Test Equipment
The Artic Temperature Test Systems are used to control the temperature of
semiconductor wafers and components to allow testing and characterization at hot
and cold temperatures. During 1995, the Company developed and released two new
products in this product range. The systems utilize thermoelectric modules to
achieve wide temperature ranges without the need for special refrigerants and
cooling fluids.
Product Development
- -------------------
Development of the Rate of Turn Tables and large Centrifuges is targeted at
applications in the automotive and sensor industries. The latest centrifuges
and rate tables combine two technologies which facilitates the acceleration
test of devices at hot and cold temperatures.
Testing Services
- ----------------
The Company owns and operates facilities that provide testing services for
ceramic and plastic encased semiconductor devices and other electronic
components to meet the requirements of military, aerospace, industrial and
commercial applications. The Company uses its own proprietary equipment for
certain burn-in, centrifugal and leak tests, and commercially available
equipment for the various other environmental tests. The Company conducts its
testing operations at its facilities located in San Fernando, California; the
Republic of Singapore; Dublin, Ireland; Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and
Bangkok, Thailand.
The testing services are used by manufacturers and purchasers of semiconductors
and other components who either do not have any testing capabilities or whose
in-house screening facilities are not sufficient to test devices to military or
certain commercial specifications. In addition, the Company provides overflow
testing and independent verification for companies that have their own in-house
capabilities. The laboratories perform a variety of tests, including
stabilization bake, thermal shock, temperature cycling, mechanical shock,
constant acceleration, gross and fine leak tests, electrical testing, static and
dynamic burn-in tests, and vibration testing. The laboratories also perform
qualification testing, consisting of intense tests conducted on small samples of
output from manufacturers who must obtain periodic qualification under the terms
of their contracts. The Company delivers written certification to customers
reporting on the test results.
Distribution Activities
- -----------------------
The Company's Singapore subsidiary continues to develop its international
distribution division. This is in addition to its manufacturing and testing
business. This distribution business purchases products from European and
Pacific Basin manufacturers for resale. Specifically, since 1987,
Heraeus-Votsch of West Germany has been utilizing Trio-Tech International Pte.
Ltd. in Singapore as a distributor of its products. The Singapore subsidiary
<PAGE>
also represents several Japanese and American manufacturers. This segment of
the Company's business continues to grow. It affords the Company additional
sales penetration opportunities in the Pacific Basin for the remainder of its
product line.
Marketing, Distribution and Service
- -----------------------------------
The Company markets its products and services worldwide, both directly and
through independent sales representatives. There are approximately 15 sales
representatives that operate within the United States and 9 in various foreign
countries. The Company's marketing efforts in the United States are coordinated
from its headquarters in San Fernando, and its Far East and European marketing
efforts are assigned to its subsidiaries in Singapore and Ireland, respectively.
The Company advertises in trade journals and participates in trade shows.
The Company's products and services are purchased by independent testing
laboratories and by users and manufacturers of high-reliability semiconductor
devices, including Hyundai, TRW Teledyne, Allied Signal, AMD, Motorola, National
Semiconductor, SGS Thomson and Texas Instruments. During the year ended June
28, 1996, the Company had sales of $3,209,000 and $4,681,000 to two different
customers. Two customers were responsible for more than 10% of the Company's
consolidated sales for fiscal year 1995.
Backlog
- -------
The following table sets forth the Company's backlog at the dates indicated:
June 28, 1996 June 30, 1995
------------- -------------
Manufacturing backlog $1,925,000 $1,346,000
Testing service backlog 1,322,000 2,570,000
Distribution backlog 1,372,000 1,286,000
----------- ------------
$4,618,000 $5,202,000
Based upon past experience, the Company does not anticipate any significant
cancellations. The purchase orders for equipment call for delivery within the
next 12 months. The testing services backlog is scheduled to be performed within
the next year. The Company does not anticipate any difficulties in meeting the
above delivery schedule.
Manufacturing and Supply
- ------------------------
The Company's products are designed by its engineers and are assembled and
tested at its facilities in San Fernando, California, the Republic of Singapore
and the Republic of Ireland. All parts and certain components are purchased
from outside sources for assembly by the Company.
The Company uses Fluorinert, a special indicator fluid sold by the 3M Company,
in its gross leak equipment, and Krypton 85, sold by Amersham, in its
Tracer-Flo. The Company has not experienced any difficulty in obtaining
Fluorinert or Krypton 85 to date. There can be no assurance that the Company
will not experience difficulties or delays in obtaining Fluorinert or Krypton 85
in the future.
Competition
- -----------
Management believes that the Company is one of the leading manufacturers in the
specific areas of fine leak and gross leak testers for ceramic and plastic
packaged semiconductor devices and constant acceleration centrifuges used for
structural testing of such devices. Because of the importance of testing as
part of the manufacturing process for high-reliability semiconductor devices,
management believes that the quality, accuracy and reputation of its products
and services, and to a lesser extent price, are the bases of competition in the
product and service areas
<PAGE>
served by the Company. In order for the Company to remain competitive, it must
have the ability to adapt to rapid technological change and to develop new and
improved products.
There are numerous testing laboratories in the areas in which the Company
operates that perform a range of testing services similar to those offered by
the Company. Since the Company has sold and will continue to sell its leak
testing systems and centrifuges to competing laboratories, the Company's
competitors can offer the same capabilities in testing. The Company also sells
its products and systems to semiconductor manufacturers and
users who might otherwise have used outside testing laboratories, including the
Company, to perform environmental testing. Reputation for dependable testing
and prompt performance, to a greater extent than price, appear to be the primary
bases of competition among testing laboratories. The existence of competing
laboratories and the purchase of testing equipment by manufacturers and users
are potential threats to the Company's future revenues and earnings from
testing.
Patents
- -------
The Company holds a U.S. Patent granted in 1987 in relation to its
pressurization humidity testing equipment. The Company also holds a U.S. Patent
granted in 1994 on certain aspects of its Artic Temperature Test Systems. In
addition, the Company has recently filed a new Patent application for certain
aspects of its new Artic Temperature Test products.
Government Regulation
- ---------------------
The Tracer-Flo process uses Krypton 85, an inert radioactive gas, the supply and
handling of which are subject to regulation by the United States Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the California Department of Health Physics.
Therefore, the Company must provide training its to Tracer-Flo operators, which
are licensed by the State of California, and must maintain records and control
its supplies of Krypton 85. The California agency conducts periodic site
inspections, and the NRC monitors interstate shipments and can inspect the
Company's shipping records. No security clearance is required to handle the
gas, which has a low level of radioactivity.
Employees
- ---------
As of June 28, 1996, the Company had 34 employees in the United States, 187 in
Singapore, 322 in Malaysia, 85 in Bangkok, 41 in China and 15 in Ireland. Of
the employees in the United States, 7 were engaged primarily in engineering and
services, 18 in manufacturing or testing, 2 in sales, and 7 in general and
administrative positions. None of the Company's employees are represented by a
labor union. However, in Dublin, Ireland, a union agreement is still in place
without any members. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -----------------
On August 24, 1995, the Company was served in a civil action brought by HM
Holdings, Inc. (HM) against 106 defendants, including the Company. In September
1995, the Court ordered a Stay of the action against 102 of the defendants,
including the Company. According to the complaint, HM has paid $3,750,000 to
the Federal Environmental Protection Agency to settle a proceeding alleging that
HM's predecessor company caused soil and groundwater contamination of the North
Hollywood, California, Superfund Site and may have additional liabilities. HM
alleges that the 106 defendants caused or contributed to the contamination.
This suit may arise in part out of a related suit by Lockheed Martin Corporation
against HM and other defendants, possibly including the Company (which has not
been served in this related suit), involving the nearby Burbank Superfund Site,
which HM is seeking to settle and to assign its claim against the 106 defendants
to Lockheed Martin. The Company vacated its Burbank location in 1987. Due to
the Stay, the Company and its counsel have not yet investigated the allegations.
It is possible that the Company's insurers might owe the Company indemnification
for this claim. Management, based on its present information, believes that the
outcome of this litigation will not materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.
There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of
the Company, any beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company's
common stock or any associate of such person is a party that is adverse to the
Company or its properties.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentages that
certain items in the selected financial data bear to total revenues:
Year Ended June
------------------------
1996 1995 1994
----- ----- -----
Net sales 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Cost of sales 63.3 65.4 65.7
Gross profit 36.7 34.6 34.3
Operating expenses 25.1 26.7 26.4
Income from operations 11.7 7.9 7.9
Other income (expenses) 1.2 .7 (3.9)
Extraordinary item 11.6
Net income 3.5 2.9 13.5
Year Ended June 28, 1996 ("1996") Compared to Year Ended June 30, 1995 ("1995")
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased $3,697,000, or 19.0%, to $23,185,000 in 1996 from
$19,488,000 in 1995. This is attributable primarily to the improved performance
from the testing services segment. Sales related to the Far East operations
increased $3,639,000, or 23.2%, as a result of higher testing volume in
Singapore and Malaysia. In addition, the operations in Ireland has
experienced growth of $162,000, or 15.9%.
Cost of sales increased $1,921,000, or 15.1%, from $12,744,000 in 1995 to
$14,665,000 in 1996. However, stated as a percentage of net sales, it has
decreased 2.1% from 65.4% in 1995 to 63.3% as a result of continued focus on
cost controls.
Operating expenses increased $611,000, or 11.8%, to $5,808,000 in 1996. As a
percentage of net sales, operating expenses have decreased 1.6% from 26.7% in
1995 to 25.1% in 1996.
Interest expense continued to decrease in 1996, from $183,000 in 1995 to
$141,000 in 1996. This is a direct result of reduced interest rates and reduced
average outstanding debt balances.
Other income has decreased from $320,000 in 1995 to $287,000 in 1996 primarily
due to lower exchange gains.
Net income has improved by $236,000, or 41.4% from $570,000 in 1995 to $806,000
in 1996.
Year Ended June 30, 1995 ("1995") Compared to Year Ended June 24, 1994 ("1994")
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales increased $4,323,000 or 28.5% to $19,488,000 in 1995 from $15,165,000
in 1994 as a result of improved operations in each of the business segments.
Sales for the Far East operations increased $3,269,000, or 26.3%, due primarily
to improved operations in Malaysia as the volume of testing services in that
region increased. Additionally, there was an increase in manufacturing revenues
in the Far East as a result of the sale of additional systems during 1995. The
U.S. operations sales increased $349,000, or 14.4%, due to increased sales
volume in the manufacturing segment. Sales for Ireland improved $343,000, or
50.7%, as a result of increases in the volume of testing services performed in
the current year.
<PAGE>
Cost of sales increased $2,783,000, or 27.9%, from $9,961,000 in 1994 to
$12,744,000 in 1995. However, cost of sales as a percentage of sales remained
relatively stable and actually decreased from 65.7% in 1994 to 65.4% in 1995 as
a result of continued cost cutting efforts.
Operating expenses increased $1,197,000, or 29.9%, to $5,197,000 in 1995. As
percentage of sales, operating expenses were almost the same at 26.7% in 1995 as
compared to 26.4% in 1994.
Interest expense decreased $331,000 in 1995 as compared to 1994 due to the
significant reduction in average outstanding debt balances during the current
year. During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with its previous
lender which resulted in reduced bank borrowings.
Other income increased $284,000 primarily due to currency exchange losses
experienced in 1994 which did not reoccur in 1995.
Income taxes increased $207,000 as a direct result of the increase in operations
experienced in the current year. The effective tax rate in 1995 was 26% which
approximates the foreign income tax rate for the Far East operations. The U.S.
operations have net operating losses which are used to offset any income taxes
associated with their taxable income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's working capital improved significantly from $1,689,000 as of June
30, 1995 to $3,591,000 as of June 28, 1996. The improvement in working capital
is attributable to the significant increase in sales and improved cash
collections during fiscal year 1996.
The Company has a secured credit agreement with Standard Charter Bank which
provides for a total line of credit of approximately $655,000 which can be used
to finance the Company's Far East operations. Borrowings under the line were
$120,000 as of June 28, 1996 and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (6.5% at
June 28, 1996) plus 2%.
The Company's subsidiary, TTBk, has a line of credit which provides for
borrowings of approximately $78,000. Interest on the line is at the bank's
reference rate plus 1%. There were no borrowings against this line as of June
28, 1996.
The Company's subsidiary, WGP, has obtained a short term loan of approximately
$210,000 with Bank of China. Interest is at 1.22% above the bank's reference
rate (13.18% at June 28, 1996).
The Company has obtained financing arrangements to fund operations outside of
the Far East region in 1996. A revolving line of credit was obtained from First
Interstate Bank bearing interest at 1.5% above the bank's reference rate (9.75%
at June 28, 1996). Borrowings under the line amounted to $125,000 as of June
28, 1996.
The Company's subsidiary, EETC, extended its credit agreement with ICC Bank plc.
An additional term loan of 100,000 Irish Pounds was advanced for a period of 12
years. Interest is at the bank's prime rate (6.28% at June 28, 1996) plus 3%.
Most of the capital expenditures incurred during fiscal 1996 were used to update
and expand the variety of testing services required by the customer base in the
Far East.
Management believes that the Company's operations will be able to be funded over
the next twelve months through operations, existing working capital and its
available lines of credit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Trio-Tech International
San Fernando, California:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trio-Tech
International and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 28, 1996 and June 30,
1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 28, 1996.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Trio-Tech International and
subsidiaries as of June 28, 1996 and June 30, 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 28, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED JUNE 28, 1996, JUNE 30, 1995 AND JUNE 24, 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation - Trio-Tech International (the "Company" or
"TTI") is a designer and manufacturer of equipment used to test the
structural integrity of semiconductor devices that must meet
high-reliability specifications. The Company also owns and operates testing
facilities that perform structural and electronic testing of semiconductor
devices and acts as a distributor of electronic testing equipment in
Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its principal
subsidiaries: Trio-Tech International Pte Ltd (TTI Pte), Trio-Tech Test
Services Pte Ltd (TTTS Pte), Express Test, European Electronic Test Centre
(EETC), Trio-Tech Bangkok (TTBk), Trio-Tech Malaysia (TTM) (a 55%-owned
joint venture of Trio-Tech International Pte. Ltd), Prestal Enterprise Sdn
Bhd (PESB) (a 73% owned subsidiary of Trio-Tech International Pte Ltd) and
Wuhan Golden Petroleum Co., Ltd (WGP) (a 51% owned joint venture of Trio-
Tech International Pte Ltd). All material intercompany transactions,
profits and balances have been eliminated.
Accounting Period - The Company's fiscal reporting period coincides with
the 52-53 week period ending on the last Friday in June.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments
purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these
instruments.
Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market.
Property, Equipment and Capitalized Leases - Property, equipment and
capitalized leases are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases, whichever is shorter,
using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 45
years. Capital grants from the Industrial Development Authority in Ireland
are accounted for when claimed by reducing the cost of the related assets.
The grants are amortized over the depreciable lives of those assets.
Foreign Currency Translation - All assets and liabilities of operations
outside the United States have been translated at the foreign exchange rates
in effect at year-end. Revenues and expenses for the year are translated at
average exchange rates in effect during the year. Unrealized translation
gains and losses are not included in determining net income but are
accumulated and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.
Net realized gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions
are credited or charged to income.
<PAGE>
Other Assets - The excess of cost over net assets acquired is included in
other assets and is being amortized over 5-10 years. The Company reviews
the carrying value of all intangible assets on a regular basis, and if
future cash flows are believed insufficient to recover the remaining
carrying value of an intangible asset, the carrying value is written down in
the period the impairment is identified to its future recoverable value.
Long-lived assets - In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of",
which the company adopted. Pursuant to this Statement, companies are
required to investigate potential impairments of long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles, and associated goodwill, on an exception basis,
when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances have made
recovery of an asset's carrying value unlikely. An impairment loss would
be recognized when the sum of the expected future net cash flow is less
than the carrying amount of the asset. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
Taxes on Income - Deferred taxes and liabilities are computed annually for
differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets
and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the
future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
Research and Development Costs -The Company incurred research and
development costs of $46,000 in 1996, $51,000 in 1995 and $71,000 in 1994,
which were charged to cost of sales as incurred.
Income per Share - Income per share is based upon the weighted average
number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents (consisting of
stock options), excluding those common stock equivalents which would be
anti-dilutive.

The Company files income tax returns in several countries. Income in one
country is not offset by losses in another country. Accordingly, no benefit is
provided for losses in countries except where the loss can be carried back
against income recognized in previous years. Income taxes are provided in those
countries where income is earned. The effect of providing tax against profits
while not providing benefit for losses results in an effective tax rate which
differs from the federal statutory rate.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of
certain revenues and expenses for tax and financial statement purposes. The
components of deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:
June 28, June 30,
1996 1995

11. COMMON STOCK
In December 1993, the Board of Directors approved the private placement of
up to 312,500 shares of restricted common stock. The common stock was
offered to qualified investors (up to 187,500 shares) as well as certain
employees and management of the Company (up to 125,000 shares) at a price
of $2.40 per share. The price represents the fair market value of the stock
on that date. The investors are restricted from selling their shares of
common stock for two years from the date of purchase. In connection with
the private placement, 254,845 shares of common stock were issued raising
$612,000 in capital.
In October 1994, the Board of Directors approved a one-for-four reverse
stock split (the "Reverse Split"). Common stock and stock options have been
retroactively adjusted for the split.
12.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
In October 1993, the Company purchased a 73% equity interest in Prestal
Enterprise Sdn Bhd from an Officer and Director of the Company in exchange
for 73,873 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $148,000.
13.EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
In December 1993, the Company entered into a settlement arrangement with a
bank whereby $3,612,000 of debt and accrued interest was satisfied in
exchange for a cash payment of $1,800,000. This transaction resulted in a
gain of $1,751,000 (net of applicable taxes of $61,000) on extinguishment of
debt which is reflected as extraordinary income in fiscal 1994.
14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company operates principally in three industry segments, the designing
and manufacturing of equipment that tests the structural integrity of
integrated circuits and other products which measure the rate of turn, the
<PAGE>
testing service industry that performs structural and electronic tests of
semiconductor devices and the distribution of various products from other
manufacturers in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
The allocation of the cost of equipment, the current year investment in new
equipment and depreciation expense have been made on the basis of the
primary purpose for which the equipment was acquired.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, TTI Pte. in Singapore (including
TTI Pte.'s wholly owned subsidiaries TTTS Pte and TTBk, 55% owned joint
venture of Trio-Tech Malaysia, another subsidiary wholly owned by
Trio-Tech Malaysia, 73% owned PESB), operates in the manufacturing, testing
services and distribution business segments.
All intersegment sales consist of sales from the manufacturing segment to
the testing and distribution segments. Corporate assets mainly consist of
cash and prepaid expenses. Corporate income amounts consist mainly
consist of intersegment charges for general and administrative activities.
