TRIO-TECH INTERNATIONAL
PART I
NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussions of Trio-Tech Internationals (the Company) business and activities set forth
in this Form 10-K and in other past and future reports and announcements by the Company may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and assumptions
regarding future activities and results of operations of the Company. In light of the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the following factors,
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in any
forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company: market acceptance of Company
products and services; changing business conditions or technologies and volatility in the
semiconductor industry, which could affect demand for the Companys products and services; the
impact of competition; problems with technology; product development schedules; delivery schedules;
changes in military or commercial testing specifications which could affect the market for the
Companys products and services; difficulties in profitably integrating acquired businesses, if
any, into the Company; risks associated with conducting business internationally and especially in
Southeast Asia, including currency fluctuations and devaluation, currency restrictions, local laws
and restrictions and possible social, political and economic instability; and other economic,
financial and regulatory factors beyond the Companys control. The occurrence of a tsunami in Asia
and hurricanes in the southern part of North America had an indirect impact on the Company.
Worldwide oil prices increased after several hurricanes in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, which
caused companies to incur higher costs. We believe customers have tightened and will continue to
tighten their spending, resulting in a decline in the demand for electronic products and
semiconductor equipment. We anticipate that this chain effect will hit the Companys business
gradually in the future. See the discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-K, including under the
heading Certain Risks That May Affect Our Future Results, for more information. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as may, will,
expects, plans, anticipates, estimates, potential, believes, can impact, continue,
or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology.
We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events,
changed circumstances, or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
ITEM 1 BUSINESS (IN THOURSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGES AND SHARE AMOUNTS)
Trio-Tech International was incorporated in 1958 under the laws of the State of California. As
used herein, the term Trio-Tech or Company or we or us or Registrant includes Trio-Tech
International and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise indicates. Our mailing address and
executive offices are located at 14731 Califa Street, Van Nuys, California 91411, and our telephone
number is (818) 787-7000.
With more than 48 years dedicated to the semiconductor and related industries, we have applied our
expertise to our global customer base in test services, design, engineering, manufacturing, and
distribution.
General
Trio-Tech International provides third-party semiconductor testing and burn-in services primarily
through its laboratories in Southeast Asia. We also design, manufacture and market equipment and
systems to be used in the process of testing semiconductors at our facilities in California and
Southeast Asia, and distribute semiconductor processing and testing equipment manufactured by other
vendors.
We operate in three business segments: Testing Services, Manufacturing and Distribution. The
financial information on the measurement of profit or loss and total assets for the three segments
as well as geographic areas information can be found under managements discussion and analysis of
results of operations and financial conditions, as well as in the financial statements included in
this report. Our working capital requirements are covered under managements discussion and
analysis of business outlook, liquidity and capital resources.
We currently operate four testing facilities, one in the United States and four in Southeast Asia.
These facilities provide customers with a full range of testing services, such as burn-in and
product life testing for finished or packaged semiconductors.
Our Ireland operation, as a component of the Testing segment, suffered continued operating losses
in the three fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and the cash flows were minimal during the same three
fiscal years. In August 2005, we established a restructuring plan to close the Testing operation
in Dublin, Ireland. In November 2005, we completed the sale of the property
3
located in Dublin, Ireland and recorded a gain of $8,909. As a result, this discontinued operation
reported an income of $8,459, which consisted of the gain from the sale of property of $8,909
offset by the loss from discontinued operation of $450.
In January 2006, we completed the acquisition of a burn-in testing division in Shanghai.
Management believes that acquiring the burn-in testing business will enhance our future growth
opportunities and develop our China market share in testing services.
Our Manufacturing segment manufactures Artic Temperature Controlled Wafer Chucks, which are used
for test, characterization and failure analysis of semiconductor wafers, Wet Process Stations,
which wash and dry wafers at a series of 100 to 300 additional processing steps after the etching
or deposition of integrated circuits, and other microelectronic substrates in what is commonly
called the front-end, or creation of semiconductor circuits. Additionally, we also manufacture
centrifuges, leak detectors, HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Test) systems and burn-in systems
that are used primarily in the back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process to test
finished semiconductor devices and electronic components.
Our Distribution segment operates primarily in Southeast Asia. This segment markets and supports
distribution of our own manufactured equipment in addition to distributing complementary products
supplied by other manufacturers that are used by our customers and other semiconductor and
electronics manufacturers. We expanded the distribution business to include a strategic business
unit mainly to serve as a distributor of electronic components to customers.

Background
The semiconductor industry has experienced substantial growth over the long term. This growth
has resulted from the increasing demand for microchips for a broad range of applications, including
personal computers, consumer electronics, wired and wireless telecommunications infrastructures,
and automotive, multimedia, portable and network computing. According to the Semiconductor
Industry Association (SIA), worldwide sales of semiconductors totaled $19.6 billion in June 2006,
increasing over 9% from June 2005. Total worldwide sales of semiconductors for the first half of
calendar 2006 were $118 billion, increasing 8.3% over the first half of calendar 2005. The
Semiconductor Industry Association projected that the industry will
4
grow by 11.0 % in 2007, 12.0% in 2008, and 4.0 % in 2009. If the latest forecast materializes,
worldwide semiconductor sales would reach $323 billion in 2009. Actual sales for calendar 2005
amounted to $227.5 billion. The new forecast projects an average compound annual growth rate of
9.2 % from 2005 through 2009. While demand for semiconductor devices continues to rise, strong
competitive pressures that have reduced prices in some major product sectors are impacting revenues
in the semiconductor industry. Companies are continually seeking new ways to enhance the
productivity of their operations.
We own and operate facilities that provide testing services for semiconductor products to ensure
that these products meet the requirements for military, aerospace, industrial and commercial
applications. Testing services represented approximately 50%, 45%, and 45% of net sales for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
We use our own proprietary equipment for certain burn-in, centrifugal and leak tests, and
commercially available equipment for various other environmental tests. We conduct the majority of
our testing operations in Southeast Asia with facilities in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and
China. Most of the facilities in Southeast Asia are either ISO9001, ISO 9002, and QS 9000
certified. In August 2005, we established a restructuring plan to close our testing operation in
Dublin, Ireland, as the operation did not generate adequate operating cash flows during the past
three years. The testing operations closed in November 2005.
Testing services are rendered to manufacturers and purchasers of semiconductors and other entities
who either lack testing capabilities or whose in-house screening facilities are insufficient for
testing devices in order for them to make sure that these products meet military or certain
commercial specifications. Customers outsource their test services either to accommodate
fluctuations in output or to benefit from economies that can be offered by third party service
providers. For those customers with adequate in-house capabilities, we offer testing services for
their overflow requirements and also provide independent testing verification services.
Our 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. Our laboratories also perform
qualification testing, consisting of intense tests conducted on small samples of output from
manufacturers who require qualification of their processes and devices.
We design, develop, manufacture and market equipment for the manufacturing and testing of
semiconductor wafers, devices and other electronic components. Revenue from the sale of products
manufactured by the Company represented approximately 43%, 43% and 38% of net sales for the fiscal
years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Front-End Products
Wet Process Stations
Wet Process Stations are used for cleaning, rinsing and drying semiconductor wafers, magnetic
disks, flat panel displays and other microelectronic substrates. After the etching or deposition
of integrated circuits, wafers are typically sent through a series of 100 to 300 additional
processing steps. At many of these processing steps, the wafer is washed and dried using Wet
Process Stations. This product line includes manual, semi-automated and automated Wet Process
Stations, and features radial and linear robots, state-of-the-art PC touch-screen controllers and
sophisticated scheduling and control software. The Wet Process Station is currently manufactured
in Singapore.
Artic Temperature Controlled Wafer Chucks
The Artic Temperature Controlled Chucks are used for test, characterization and failure analysis of
semiconductor wafers and other components at accurately controlled hot and cold temperatures.
Several models are available with temperature ranges from -65°C to +400°C and in
diameters from 4 to 12 inches. The finished wafer is put through a series of tests using the Artic
Temperature Controlled Chucks in which each separate integrated device on the wafer is tested at
accurately controlled temperatures for functionality. After testing, the wafer is diced or cut
up, and each die is then placed into packaging material, usually plastic or ceramic, with lead
wires to permit mounting onto printed circuit boards. These systems provide excellent performance
to meet the most demanding customer applications. Several unique mechanical design features, for
which patents have been granted, provide excellent mechanical stability under high probing forces
and across temperature ranges.
Back-End Products
Autoclaves and HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Test) Equipment
We manufacture a range of autoclaves and HAST systems and specialized test fixtures. Autoclaves
provide pressurized, saturated vapor (100% relative humidity) test environments for fast and easy
monitoring of integrated circuit manufacturing processes. HAST equipment, which provides a
pressurized high temperature environment with variable humidity, is used to
determine the moisture resistance of plastic encapsulated devices. HAST provides a fast and
cost-effective alternative to conventional non-pressurized temperature and humidity testing.
5
Burn-in Equipment and Boards
We manufacture burn-in systems, burn-in boards and burn-in board test systems. Burn-in equipment
is used to subject semiconductor devices to elevated temperatures while testing them electrically
to identify early product failures and 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.
We manufacture the COBIS II burn-in system which offers state-of-the-art dynamic burn-in
capabilities and a Windows-based operating system with full data logging and networking features.
We also offer burn-in boards for our BISIC, COBIS and COBIS II burn-in systems and other brands of
burn-in systems. Burn-in boards are used to mount devices during high temperature environmental
stressing.
We have developed several new products to complement the burn-in processes, including
semi-automatic (LUBIBM) and automatic burn-in board loaders and unloaders (LUBIB). These products
are designed to perform precise, high-speed transfer of IC packages from the semiconductor holding
tray to the burn-in board, or vice versa, while maintaining the integrity of the ICs leads.
Burn-in-board cleaning systems (CUBIB) are designed to perform wet or dry cleaning for burn-in
boards and other modular boards.
We build Smart Burn-In (SBI) electrical equipment and System Level Test (SLT) equipment which are
used at the few final stages of testing these microprocessor devices. While providing integrated
burn-in solutions, we present total burn-in automation solutions to improve products yield, reduce
process downtime and improve efficiency. In addition, we developed a cooling solution for high
power heat dissipation semiconductor devices. This solution involves the cooling or maintaining of
the temperature of high power semiconductor devices.
Component Centrifuges and Leak Detection Equipment
Component centrifuges and leak detection equipment are used to test the mechanical integrity of
ceramic and other hermetically sealed semiconductor devices and electronic parts for high
reliability and aerospace applications. Our centrifuges spin these devices and parts at specific
acceleration rates, create gravitational forces (gs) up to 30,000gs, and thereby indicate any
mechanical weakness in the devices. Leak detection equipment is designed to detect leaks in
hermetic packaging. The first stage of the test includes pressurizing the devices in a tracer gas
for fine leaks or fluid for gross leaks. The bubble tester is used for gross leak detection. A
visual bubble trail will indicate when a device is defective.
One of our subsidiaries located in Singapore continues to develop its international distribution
activities in Southeast Asia. In addition to marketing our own proprietary products, this
subsidiary distributes complementary products from other manufacturers based in the United States,
Europe, Japan and other countries. The products sold included environmental chambers, shaker
systems, handlers, interface systems, vibration systems, solderability testers and other
manufactured products.
In recent years, many multinational companies in electronic manufacturing and semiconductor
industries have set up production facilities in China, and this presented excellent opportunities
for our testing equipment in China. Requirement for auxiliary services such as after-sales
installation, equipment services, and spare parts will be natural add-ons.
During fiscal 2006, our Singapore distribution operation participated in the 67th annual CEF (China
Electronic Fair) and conducted a soft launch of our Wet Process Stations at the show. We appointed
a Chinese representative to market the Wet process Stations in China. This fair has created
business opportunities for us and has taken us a step further in the international business arena
to demonstrate our Wet Process Stations.
Revenue from distribution activities represented approximately 7%, 12% and 17% of net sales for the
years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Product Research and Development
The research and development costs in our U.S. operation decreased due to fewer activities and
less payroll costs. The Company incurred research and development costs of $70 in fiscal 2006, $93
in fiscal 2005 and $117 in fiscal 2004.
Research and development efforts for our U.S. operation will consist of minor product improvements.
The HAST software will be converted to a Windows based operating system and the ARTIC chiller
units will be evaluated for upgrades that are in line with the latest heat removal and pump
technology.
6
Marketing, Distribution and Services
We market our products and services worldwide, directly and through independent sales
representatives. We have approximately 8 independent sales representatives operating in the United
States and another 17 in various foreign countries. Of the 25 sales representatives, three are
representing the distribution segment and the others are representing the manufacturing and testing
segments. Trio-Techs United States marketing efforts are coordinated from its California
location. Southeast Asia marketing efforts are assigned to its subsidiary in Singapore. We
advertise our products in trade journals and participate in trade shows.
Independent testing laboratories, users, assemblers and manufacturers of semiconductor devices,
including many large well-known corporations, purchase our products and services. These customers
depend on the current and anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products utilizing
semiconductor devices. Our ability to maintain close, satisfactory relationships with our
customers is essential to our stability and growth. The loss, reduction, or delay of orders placed
by our significant customers and delays in collecting accounts receivable from our significant
customers could adversely affect our results of operations and financial positions.
In fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, sales of equipment and services to our three largest customers
(Advanced Micro Device Freescale, and Catalyst Semiconductor) accounted for approximately 67%, 74%
and 53%, respectively, of our net revenue. During fiscal 2006, we had sales of $12,865 (44%),
$4,322 (15%) and $2,517 (9%) to Advanced Micro Devices, Freescale Semiconductor and Catalyst
Semiconductor, respectively. During fiscal 2005, we had sales of $9,054 (36%), $6,805 (27%) and
$2,713 (11%) to Advanced Micro Devices, Freescale Semiconducto, Catalyst Semiconductor,
respectively. During fiscal 2004, we had sales of $7,074 (38%) and $2,853 (15%) to Advanced Micro
Devices. and Catalyst Semiconductor, respectively. The three customers mentioned above are U.S.
companies; however, the revenue generated from them was from their facilities located outside of
the U.S. The majority of our sales and services in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 were to
customers outside of the United States. See information appearing in Note 20 Business Segments,
which is incorporated by reference, for further financial information about geographic areas.

Based upon our past experience, we do not anticipate any significant cancellations or renegotiation
of sales. If there is any cancellation of a confirmed purchase order, the customer is required to
reimburse us for all costs that were incurred because the purchase orders for manufacturing,
testing and distribution businesses generally require a delivery within 12 months from the date of
the purchase order. We do not anticipate any difficulties in meeting delivery schedules.
Materials and Supply
Our products are designed by our engineers and are assembled and tested at our facilities in
California and Singapore. We purchase all parts and certain components from outside vendors for
assembly purposes. We have no written contracts with any of our key suppliers. As these parts and
components are available from a variety of sources, we believe that the loss of any one of our
suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our result of operations taken as a whole.
Competition
There are numerous testing laboratories in the areas where we operate that perform a range of
testing services similar to those offered by us. However, recent severe competition in the South
Asia testing and burn-in services industry has reduced the total number of our competitors. As we
have sold and will continue to sell our products to competing laboratories, and other test products
are available from many other manufacturers, our competitors are able to offer the same testing
capabilities. The relevant testing equipment is also available to semiconductor manufacturers and
users who might otherwise use third party testing laboratories, including us, to perform testing.
The existence of competing laboratories and the purchase of testing equipment by semiconductor
manufacturers and users are potential threats to our future testing services revenue and
7
earnings. Although these laboratories and new competitors may challenge us at any time, we believe
that other factors, including reputation, long service history and strong customer relationships,
are more important than pricing factor in determining our position on the market.
The distribution segment sells a wide range of testing products. We believe that the equipment,
components trading and equipment servicing markets are key growth areas in Southeast Asia and hence
have focused our marketing efforts on Asia. As the semiconductor equipment industry is highly
competitive, the distribution operation faces stiff price competition if the equipment is sold
piecemeal. Thus, Add value has been a key phrase in our sales mission for the past years. We
believe that Add value will continue to dominate as the key focal point as we offer integrated
solutions which draw on the strengths of our technical specialists who have undergone intensive
training with our vendors. Equipment is brought into Singapore from various vendors, and depending
on customers specific requirements, is tested and system integrated before distribution, delivery
and installation.
The demand for electronic components was relatively strong in Southeast Asia, driven by a greater
demand in high-end personal computers, notebooks and server chips. Many Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) customers have been outsourcing for connectors and specialized sockets.
However, as our target customers are mainly multinational contract manufacturers with a worldwide
database of suppliers, the most commonly used components became extremely price competitive. The
components division not only competed against similar products, but also with the direct online
ordering system put in place by the vendors. However, such online competition is discounted as a
minor competitive factor, as we offer good credit facilities and maintain excellent business
relationships with our long-term customers.
The semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry is highly competitive and most of our
competitors for such equipment are located in Southeast Asia. Some of our electronic device
manufacturing customers in Southeast Asia increased their capital equipment in order to meet the
increase in production capacity for electronic products. There is no assurance that competition
will not increase or that our technological advantages may not be reduced or lost as a result of
technological advances by competitors or changes in semiconductor processing technology.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in the manufacturing industry include product
performance, reliability, service and technical support, product improvements, price, established
relationships with customers and product familiarity. We make every effort to compete favorably
with respect to each of these factors. Although we have competitors for our various products, we
believe that our products compete favorably with respect to each of the above factors. We have
been in business for more than 48 years and have operation facilities mostly located in Southeast
Asia. We believe that those factors have combined into one force which has helped us to establish
long-term relationships with customers and will allow us to continue doing business with our
existing customers upon their relocation to other regions where we have a local presence or we are
able to reach.
Patents
The manufacturing segment holds a United States Patent granted in 1987 in relation to our
pressurization humidity testing equipment. We also hold a United States Patent granted in 1994 on
certain aspects of our Artic temperature test systems. In 2001, we registered a new United States
patent (for 20 years) for several aspects of our new range of Artic Temperature Controlled Chucks.
Although we believe that these patents are an integral part of our Manufacturing segment, the
capitalized cost of the patents was written off in fiscal 2002 because of the impairment assessed
by our management. In fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006 we did not register any patents within the U.S.
It is typical in the semiconductor industry to receive notices from time to time alleging
infringement of patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We do not believe that we
infringe the intellectual property rights of any others. However, should any claims be brought
against us, the cost of litigating such claims and any damages could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Employees
As of June 30, 2006 we had approximately 12 employees in the United States and 593 in
Southeast Asia for a total of approximately 605 employees. None of our employees are represented
by a labor union. As of June 30, 2006, there were approximately 404 employees in the testing
segment, 147 employees in the manufacturing segment, and 52 employees in the distribution segment
and 2 in the corporate office.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
The following are certain risk factors that could impact our business, financial results and
results of operations. Investing in our common stock involves risks, including those described
below. These risk factors, among others, should be considered by
8
prospective and current investors in our common stock when evaluating the disclosures in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K (particularly the forward-looking statements.) These risk factors could
cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected herein. If the risks
we face, including those listed below, actually occur, our business, financial condition or results
of operations could be negatively impacted, and the trading price of our common stock could
decline, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
Our operating results are affected by a variety of factors
Our operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially affect
revenues and profitability or lead to significant variability of quarterly or annual operating
results. These factors include, among others, components relating to:
|
|
|
economic and market conditions in the semiconductor industry; |
|
|
|
|
market acceptance of our products and services; |
|
|
|
|
changes in technology in the semiconductor industry, which could affect demand for our products and services; |
|
|
|
|
changes in testing processes; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of competition; |
|
|
|
|
the lack of long-term purchase or supply agreements with customers and vendors; |
|
|
|
|
changes in military or commercial testing specifications, which could affect the market
for our products and services; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in profitably integrating acquired businesses, if any, into the Company; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of key personnel or the shortage of available skilled employees; |
|
|
|
|
international political or economic events |
|
|
|
|
currency fluctuations; and |
|
|
|
|
other technological, economic, financial and regulatory factors beyond our control. |
Unfavorable changes in these or other factors could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition or results of operations. We may not be able to generate revenue growth, and any revenue
growth that is achieved may not be sustained. Our business, results of operations and financial
condition would be materially adversely affected if operating expenses increased and were not
subsequently followed by increased revenues.
Semiconductor industry cycles affect our business
Our business depends primarily upon the capital expenditures of semiconductor manufacturers,
assemblers and other testing companies worldwide. These industries in turn depend on the current
and anticipated market demand for integrated circuits and products utilizing semiconductor devices.
The global semiconductor industry generally, and the semiconductor testing equipment industry in
particular, are volatile and cyclical, with periodic capacity shortages and excess capacity. In
periods of excess capacity, the industry sharply cuts its purchases of capital equipment, including
our distributed products, and reduces testing volumes, including our testing services. Excess
capacity also causes downward pressure on the selling prices of our products and services.
Our operating results have been adversely affected by past downturns and slowdowns. There is no
assurance that there will not be downturns or slowdowns in the future that may adversely affect our
financial condition or operating results. In addition, if one or more of our primary customers
reduces its or their purchases or use of our products or testing services, our financial results
could be materially and adversely affected. We anticipate that we will continue to be primarily
dependent on the semiconductor industry for the foreseeable future.
Rapid technological changes may make our products obsolete or result in decreased prices or increased expenses
Technology changes rapidly in the semiconductor industry and may make our services or products
obsolete. Advances in technology may lead to significant price erosion for products which we test
with our older testing technologies. Our success will depend in part on our ability to develop and
offer more advanced testing technologies and processes in the future, to anticipate both future
demand and the technology to supply that demand, to enhance our current products and services, to
provide those products and services at competitive prices on a timely and cost-effective basis and
to achieve market acceptance of those products and services. To accomplish these goals, we may be
required to incur significant engineering expenses. As new products or services are introduced, we
may experience warranty claims or product returns. We may not be able to accomplish these goals
correctly or timely enough. If we fail in our efforts, our products and services may become less
competitive or obsolete.
9
Our dependence on international sales involves significant risk
Sales and services to customers outside the United States accounted for approximately 91%, 92% and
75% of our sales for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Approximately 90%, 91% and 74% of
our net revenues in fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were generated from business in
Southeast Asia. We expect that our non-U.S. sales and services will continue to generate the
majority of our future revenues. Testing services in Southeast Asia were performed primarily for
American companies, and to a lesser extent German companies, selling products and doing business in
those regions. International business operations may be adversely affected by many factors,
including fluctuations in exchange rates, imposition of government controls, trade restrictions,
political, economic and business events and social and cultural differences.
We may incur losses due to foreign currency fluctuations
Significant portions of our revenue are denominated in Singapore and Euro dollars, Malaysian
Ringgit, Thai baht and other currencies. Consequently, a portion of our costs, revenue and
operating margins may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily between the U.S.
dollar and such foreign currencies. We are also affected by fluctuations in exchange rates if
there is a mismatch between our foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Foreign
currency translation adjustments resulted in a decrease of $190 to shareholders equity for fiscal
2006, an increase of $25 to shareholders equity for fiscal 2005 and an increase of $155 to
shareholders equity for fiscal 2004.
We try to reduce our risk of foreign currency fluctuations by purchasing certain equipment and
supplies in U.S. dollars and seeking payment, when possible, in U.S. dollars. However, we may not
be successful in our attempts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Those
fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial results.
We do not rely on patents to protect our products or technology
We hold U.S. patents relating to our pressurization humidity testing equipment and certain aspects
of our Artic temperature test systems. Additionally, in fiscal 2001, we were granted patents for
certain aspects of our new range of Artic temperature controlled chucks. However, although we
believe our patents are integral to our business, generally we do not rely on patent or trade
secret protection for our products or technology. Competitors may develop technologies similar to
or more advanced than ours. We cannot assure that our current or future products will not be
copied or will not infringe on the patents of others. Moreover, the cost of litigation of any claim
or damages resulting from infringement of patents or other intellectual property could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Intense competition can adversely affect our operating results
The semiconductor equipment and testing industries are intensely competitive. Significant
competitive factors include price, technical capabilities, quality, automation, reliability,
product availability and customer service. We face competition from established and potential new
competitors, many of whom have greater financial, engineering, manufacturing and marketing
resources than our resources. New products or testing facilities offered by our competitors could
cause a decline in our revenue or a loss of market acceptance of our existing products and
services. Increased competitive pressure could also lead to intensified price-based competition.
Price-based competition may result in lower prices, adversely affecting our operating results.
Loss, reduction or delay of orders from significant customers could adversely affect our financial
condition
The semiconductor manufacturing industry is highly concentrated, with a relatively small number of
large manufacturers and assemblers accounting for a substantial portion of our revenue from product
sales and testing revenue. Our experience has been that sales to particular customers may
fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. In fiscal 2006, 2005, and 2004,
sales of equipment and services to our three largest customers accounted for approximately 67%,
74%, and 53%, respectively, of our net revenue. This applies in particular to our new testing
operation in Malaysia, which currently has only one major customer. In the event that the Company
loses this customer, all the capital purchases to meet this customers requirements will be
converted to support other products. Our ability to maintain close, satisfactory relationships
with our customers is essential to our stability and growth. The loss of or reduction or delay in
orders from our significant customers, or delays in collecting accounts receivable from our
significant customers, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
There is a limited market for our testing products and services
If testing equipment is purchased by semiconductor manufacturers and assemblers, it may reduce the
likelihood that they will make further purchases of such equipment or use our laboratories for
testing services. Although military or other specifications require certain testing to be done by
independent laboratories, over time other current customers may have less need of our
10
testing services. We believe that there is a growing trend toward outsourcing of the integrated
circuit test process. As a result, we anticipate continued growth in the test laboratory business.
However, there is no assurance that this trend will continue. In an attempt to diversify our
sales mix, we may seek to develop and introduce new or advanced products, and to acquire other
companies in the semiconductor equipment manufacturing business.
Acquisition and integration of new businesses could disrupt our ongoing business, distract
management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our business
A portion of any future growth may be accomplished through the acquisition of other entities. The
success of those acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to integrate the acquired
personnel, operations, products, services and technologies into our organization, to retain and
motivate key personnel of the acquired entities and to retain the customers of those entities. We
may not be able to identify suitable acquisition opportunities, obtain financing on acceptable
terms to bring the acquisition to fruition or to integrate such personnel, operations, products or
services. The process of identifying and closing acquisition opportunities and integrating
acquisitions into our operations may distract our management and employees, disrupt our ongoing
business, increase our expenses and materially and adversely affect our operations. We may also be
subject to certain other risks if we acquire other entities, such as the assumption of additional
liabilities. We may issue additional equity securities or incur debt to pay for future
acquisitions.
We do not have contracts with key suppliers
We have no written contracts with any of our suppliers. Our suppliers may terminate their
relationship with us at any time without notice. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
find satisfactory replacement suppliers or that new suppliers would not be more expensive than the
current suppliers if any of our suppliers were to terminate their relationship with us.
We are highly dependent on key personnel
Our success has depended, and, to a large extent will depend, on the continued services of S.W.
Yong, our Chief Executive Officer and President, Victor H. M. Ting, our Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, our other key senior executives, and engineering, marketing, sales, production
and other personnel. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Yong or Mr. Ting, but we are
the beneficiary of key man life insurance in the amount of $6 million on Mr. Yong and $2 million
on Mr. Ting. The loss of these key personnel, who would be difficult to replace, could harm our
business and operating results. Competition for management in our industry is intense and we may
be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining the executive management and other key personnel that
we require.
Our management has significant influence over corporate decisions
Currently our officers and directors and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 31.06% of
the outstanding shares of common stock, including options held by them that are exercisable within
60 days of the date of filing of this 10-K. As a result, they may be able to significantly
influence matters requiring approval of the shareholders, including the election of directors, and
may be able to delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.
We may not pay cash dividends in the near future
Although we declared a cash dividend of fifty cents (U.S. 50¢) per share payable to the
shareholders of record on January 10, 2006, we may not pay any cash dividends on our common stock
in the near future. We anticipate that the future earnings, if any, will be retained for use in
the business or for other corporate purposes. Additionally, California law prohibits the payment
of dividends if the Company does not have sufficient retained earnings or cannot meet certain asset
to liability ratios.
The market price for our common stock is subject to fluctuation
The trading price of our common stock has from time to time fluctuated widely. The trading price
may similarly fluctuate in the future in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating
results, announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors, general conditions
in the semiconductor industry and other events or factors. In addition, in recent years, broad
stock market indices in general, and the securities of technology companies in particular, have
experienced substantial price fluctuations on a daily basis. Fluctuations in the trading price of
our common stock may adversely affect our liquidity.

Although our general practice has been not to declare dividends, on December 2, 2005, our Board of
Directors declared a cash dividend of fifty cents ($0.50) per share payable to the shareholders of
record on January 10, 2006. The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of January 10,
2006 was 3,215,532 and the total cash dividends paid on January 25, 2006 were $1,608. The source
of cash was from the proceeds from disposition of the property located in Dublin, Ireland. The
determination as to whether to pay any future cash dividends will depend upon our earnings and
financial position at that time and other factors as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate.
California law prohibits the payment of dividends if a corporation does not have sufficient
retained earnings or cannot meet certain asset to liability ratios. It is not anticipated that
dividends will be paid to holders of common stock in the foreseeable future. As of September 21,
2006, the Company had approximately 175 record holders of the Common Stock.
On November 14, 2005, pursuant to the issue and exercise of an option, the Company issued 750
shares of it Common Stock to a consultant to the Company. The aggregate purchase price for the
shares was $1.995. The exemption from the registration requirements of Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, for both the issuance of the options and the shares issued upon exercise thereof was
Section 4 (2) thereof as such issuances were effected without general solicitation, were limited to
one person and otherwise were not made in a manner that would constitute a public offering.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGES AND SHARE AMOUNTS)
The discussions of Trio-Tech Internationals (the Company) business and activities set forth
in this Form 10-K and in other past and future reports and announcements by the Company may contain
forward-looking statements within meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and assumptions regarding
future activities and results of operations of the Company. In light of the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the following factors, among
others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in any forward-looking
statement made by or on behalf of the Company: market acceptance of Company products and services;
changing business conditions or technologies and volatility in the semiconductor industry, which
could affect demand for the Companys products and services; the impact of competition; problems
with technology; product development schedules; delivery schedules; changes in military or
commercial testing specifications which could affect the market for the Companys products and
services; difficulties in profitably integrating acquired businesses, if any, into the Company;
risks associated with conducting business internationally and especially in Southeast Asia,
including currency fluctuations and devaluation, currency restrictions, local laws and
restrictions, and possible social, political and economic instability; and other economic,
financial and regulatory factors beyond the Companys control. See the discussions elsewhere in
this Form 10-K for more information. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
the use of terminology such as may, will, expects, plans, anticipates, estimates,
potential, believes, can impact, continue, or the negative thereof or other comparable
terminology.
We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events,
changed circumstances, or the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview
Trio-Tech International provides third-party semiconductor testing and burn-in services
primarily through its laboratories in Southeast Asia. We operate in three distinct segments:
distribution, manufacturing, and testing. At or from our facilities in California and Southeast
Asia, we also design, manufacture and market equipment and systems to be used in the testing and
production of semiconductors, and distribute semiconductor processing and testing equipment
manufactured by other vendors.
Geographically, we operate in the U.S., Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and China. Our customers
are mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia and they are either semiconductor chip manufacturers or
testing facilities that purchase our testing equipment.
Our major operation activities are conducted in our Singapore location. There are manufacturing,
testing and distribution facilities. We have four testing facilities located in Singapore,
Malaysia, Thailand, and China. All of the facilities in Southeast Asia except the facility
located in Shanghai, China, are ISO9001, ISO 9002, and QS 9000 certified. We use our own
proprietary equipment for certain burn-in, centrifugal and leak tests, and commercially available
equipment for various other environmental tests.
In August 2005, we established a winding-down plan to close the testing operation in Dublin,
Ireland. This was initially disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Based on the restructuring plan and in accordance with EITF 03-13, we presented the operation
results from Ireland as a discontinued operation as we believed that no continued cash flow would
be generated by the disposed component (Ireland subsidiary) and we would have no significant
continuing involvement in the operation of the discontinued component. Management of the Company
initiated a plan to sell the property located in Dublin, Ireland in August 2005 and ceased the
depreciation of the property in accordance with SFAS No. 144. We transferred the relevant
machinery and equipment to Singapore and paid the outstanding balance on the equipment loans. As a
result, the machinery and equipment located in Dublin, Ireland was not included in the assets held
for sale. Management of the Company presented the property as assets held for sale for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 as this property was available for immediate sale in its then
present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such property;
the sale of the property was probable; and transfer of the property was expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year. In November 2005, we completed the sale of
property located in Dublin, Ireland and recorded a gain on the sale of property of $8,909. As a
result, this discontinued operation reported an income of $8,459, which consisted of the gain from
the sale of property of $8,909 offset by the operating loss from the discontinued operation of
$450. For basis of comparison, the financial statements related to the discontinued operation are
now presented separately in this report under discontinued operations.
In the managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and result of operations, for
basis of comparison, the amounts used in comparison have been reclassified to exclude the amounts
from discontinued operations, which have been discussed as a separate line item listed on the
statement of income.
16
In January 2006, we completed the acquisition of a burn-in testing division in Shanghai, as
management believed that acquiring the burn-in testing business would enhance our future growth
opportunities and develop additional market share in China testing services. We allocated the
purchase price of $153 to tangible assets and intangible assets acquired in the newly acquired
burn-in business in Shanghai based on their estimated fair value. We estimated that the book value
of the fixed assets acquired approximated the fair value of similar assets available on the market
based on the information management received. Accordingly, we allocated $133 to various items of
fixed assets acquired and $8 to other receivables. The excess purchase price over the fair value
of tangible assets acquired, which was $12, was attributable to an identifiable intangible asset,
the customer relationship, based on estimates and assumptions determined by management. The
economic life of this identified intangible asset was estimated to be about one year based on
management assumptions. Therefore, the value of $12 would be amortized over one year on the
straight-line method. No goodwill was recognized. The following presents the allocation of
purchase price:

Critical Accounting Estimates & Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition presented in this section are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including
those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed
assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under current
conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
In response to the SECs Release No. 33-8040, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about
Critical Accounting Policy, we have identified the most critical accounting policies upon which
our financial status depends. We determine that those critical accounting policies are related to
the use of estimates, inventory valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition,
income tax and impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets. These accounting policies
are discussed in the relevant sections in this managements discussion and analysis, including the
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements discussed below.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
During the normal course of business, we extend unsecured credit to our customers. Typically,
credit terms require payment to be made between 30 to 60 days of the sales. We do not require
collateral from our customers. We maintain our cash accounts at credit worthy financial
institutions.
We regularly evaluate and monitor the creditworthiness of each customer on a case-by-case basis.
We include any account balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general
reserve, in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a
receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the
information available to management, we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts was
adequate as of June 30, 2006.
Inventory Valuation
Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.
Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term customer commitments and
rapid changes in demand. We make provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on
our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts of product demand and
production requirements from our customers. We write down inventories for not saleable, excess or
obsolete raw
17
materials, works-in-process and finished goods by charging such write-downs to cost of sales. In
addition to write-downs based on newly introduced parts, statistics and judgments are used for
assessing provision of the remaining inventory based on salability and obsolescence.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of the Companys products is recognized upon shipment or delivery, depending
upon the terms of the sales order, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists,
title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, the sales amount is fixed and determinable
and collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. We allocate a portion of the invoice value to
products sold and the remaining portion of invoice value to installation and training work in
proportion to the fair value of products sold and installation and training work to be performed.
The fair value determination of products sold and the installation and training work is also based
on our specific historical experience of the relative fair values of the elements if there is no
easily observable market price to be considered. A significant portion of the Companys
sales is generated by testing services. Revenue derived from testing service is recognized when
testing services are rendered.
The Company reduces revenue based on estimates of future credits to be granted to customers.
Credits are granted for reasons such as product returns due to quality issues, volume-based
incentives, and other special pricing arrangements.
Income Tax
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequence attributable to the
difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and
liabilities is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.
During the process of determining tax liabilities, we have to deal with uncertainties involved in
the application of complex tax laws. Our foreign subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the
regions or counties where they operate. Because of the different income tax jurisdictions, net
losses generated in the U.S. cannot be utilized to offset the taxable income generated in foreign
countries. Therefore, we may incur certain income tax expenses in any fiscal year while the
Company, on a consolidated basis, may report a loss before income taxes. Although we believe that
our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters
will not be different from what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals.
We assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets can be recovered. If recovery is not likely,
the provision for taxes must be increased by recording a reserve in the form of a valuation
allowance for the deferred tax assets that are estimated not to be ultimately recoverable. In this
process, certain relevant criteria are evaluated including the existence of deferred tax
liabilities that can be used to absorb deferred tax assets, the taxable income that can be used to
absorb net operating losses and credit carry-backs, and taxable income in future years. Our
judgment regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S.
or international tax laws and other factors. These changes, if any, may require material
adjustments to these deferred tax assets and an accompanying reduction or increase in net income in
the period when such determinations are made. For U.S. income tax purposes no provision
has been made for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of overseas subsidiaries with which the
Company intends to continue to reinvest.
In addition to the risks described above, the effective tax rate is based on current enacted tax
law. Significant changes during the year in enacted tax law could affect these estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment when certain indicators are present that suggest the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. This review process primarily focuses on other intangible
assets from business acquisitions and property, plant and equipment. Factors considered include
the under-performance of a business compared to expectations and shortened useful lives due to
planned changes in the use of the assets. Recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying
amount of long-lived assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated
future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived assets, an
impairment charge would be recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over fair value
determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted
cash flow technique. Additionally, in the case of assets that will continue to be used by the
Company in future periods, a shortened life may be utilized if appropriate, resulting in
accelerated amortization or depreciation based upon the expected net realizable value of the asset
at the date the asset will no longer be utilized by the Company. Actual results may vary from
estimates due to, among other things, differences in operating results, shorter asset useful lives
and lower market values for excess assets.

General Financial Information
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, total assets increased by $11,039 from $18,345 at June
30, 2005 to $29,384 at June 30, 2006. The majority of the increase was in cash, short term
deposits, accounts receivables, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, but offset with a
decrease of $103 in property, plant and equipment and a decrease of $75 in other intangibles.
Cash and short-term deposits at June 30, 2006 totaled $10,390, an increase of $5,740, or 123%,
compared to a total of $4,650 at June 30, 2005. During fiscal 2006, cash increased due mainly to
the net proceeds of $8,401 received from the sale of property in Dublin, Ireland, the receipt of
$784 in proceeds from the exercising of stock options, and the proceeds of $1,062 from long-term
debt. However, this increase in cash and short-term deposits was offset by capital expenditures of
$1,255, the repayments of an aggregate $1,036 for the reduction in debts and capital leases (which
included the repayment of $88 to the outstanding equipment loans located in Ireland), the payment
of dividends totaling $1,608, and net repayments of $220 on the lines of credit.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2006 was $8,518, an increase of $4,340, or 104%, compared to $4,178
at June 30, 2005. The increase was attributable mainly to higher sales from the testing and
manufacturing segments in Southeast Asia in fiscal 2006, compared to the same category of revenue
in fiscal 2005. The total sales from all three segments for fiscal 2006 were $29,099, an increase
of $4,038, or 16.1%, compared to the total sales of $25,061 for fiscal 2005. The turnover of
accounts receivables was 80 days for fiscal 2006, an increased of 23 days or 40%, compared to 57
days for fiscal 2005. The increase in the turnover days of accounts receivable was a result of the
increase in sales in the manufacturing segment located in Singapore to a major customer with a
credit term of 60 days during June 2006.
Inventory at June 30, 2006 was $2,447, increased by $863, or 55%, compared to $1,584 at June 30,
2005. The increase was due mainly to more purchases by the manufacturing segment as a result of an
increase in sales in that segment. The turnover of inventory was 35 days for fiscal 2006,
increased by 6 days, or 21%, compared to 29 days for fiscal 2005.
Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2006 were $7,073, decreased by $103, or 1%, compared to
$7,176 at June 30, 2005. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2006 were $1,678, decreased by $1,958, or
54%, compared to $3,636 for fiscal 2005. The decrease in capital expenditures was a result of
purchasing machinery and equipment for the acquired testing operation located in Malaysia during
fiscal 2005 in order to meet customers demands, whereas no such additions were required in 2006.
Total liabilities at June 30, 2006 were $9,796, increased by $2,809, or 40%, compared to $6,987 at
June 30, 2005. The increase in liabilities was mainly due to the increase in accounts payable,
accrued expenses, income tax payable and notes payable, offset by the decrease in lines of credit.
Accounts payable at June 30, 2006 increased by $2,128 from $1681 in fiscal 2005 to $3,809 in fiscal
2006. The increase in accounts payable was a result of the increase in material purchases to
support the sales backlog in the Singapore manufacturing segment in order to satisfy future
delivery requirements.
Income tax payable increased by $143, from $168 for fiscal 2005 to $311 for fiscal 2006 in the
Singapore operations, which was attributed mainly to the increase in taxable income. Lines of
credit decreased by $220 as a result of the repayments made by our Singapore subsidiaries in the
normal course of business.

Net sales for fiscal 2006 were $29,099, an increase of $4,038, or 16.1%, compared to $25,061 for
fiscal 2005. The increase in net sales can be discussed within three segments.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the manufacturing segment for fiscal
2006 was almost the same as the revenue in fiscal 2005. However, in terms of dollar amount, the
revenue for fiscal 2006 was $12,444, an increase of $1,763 or 16%, compared to $10,681 for fiscal
2005. We believe that the increase in revenue generated by the manufacturing segment was due to a
greater demand from the personal computer market in Asia, which in turn led to a greater demand for
our products. The demand for our burn-in systems appeared to increase concurrently with the demand
for more microprocessor chips in Southeast Asia. Such increase resulted from an increase in demand
from one of our major customers, which was a result of that customers growing share in the market
for chips in personal computers. Due to the competitive environment in the manufacturing segment,
we anticipate that we will continue to implement our cost reduction plan by outsourcing a portion
of our manufacturing process to outside suppliers, such as electrical and mechanical fabrication
houses, and seek competitively priced materials.
The backlog in the manufacturing segment increased by more than 323%, from $882 in fiscal 2005 to
$3,729 in fiscal 2006, due to demand for more microprocessor chips in Southeast Asia.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the testing segment in fiscal 2006
accounted for 49.67% of total sales, representing an increase of 4.55%, compared to 45.12% in
fiscal 2005. In terms of dollar amount, the revenue for fiscal 2006 was $14,455, reflecting an
increase of $3,148, or 27%, compared to $11,307 for fiscal 2005. The increase in revenue
generated by the testing segment was attributable to our testing operations in Singapore and
Malaysia. These operations achieved better sales performances, compared to their performance in
fiscal 2005, due to a hike in demand for testing services in Southeast Asia. We believe that the
increase in demand for testing services resulted from the strong economic growth and robust
20
development in the electronics manufacturing industries in China. In addition, an increase in
demand from one of our customers with regard to its high-end personal computers, notebooks and
server chips also contributed to the increase. Demand for testing services varies from time to
time depending on changes taken place on the market and our customers forecasts. We anticipate
that our customers will continue to request our services to perform burn-in on chips to be used
in wireless handsets, automotive applications and wired communications, all of which are currently
in high demand in their respective markets.
Our testing facilities provide customers with a full range of testing services, such as burn-in and
product life testing for finished semiconductors or packaged components. The acquisition of a
testing operation in Shanghai in January 2006 is expected to pave a road for us to expand our
testing and burn-in services in Chinas market.
Backlog in the testing segment at June 30, 2006 was $12,029, an increase of $4,645, or 63%,
compared to $7,384 at June 30, 2005 due to the demand for testing services with regard to faster
speed microprocessor chips in Southeast Asia.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the distribution segment in fiscal
2006 accounted for only 7.56%, a decrease of 4.7%, compared to 12.26% in fiscal 2006. In terms of
dollar amount, revenue for fiscal 2006 was $2,200, a decrease of $873, or 28%, compared to $3,073
for fiscal 2005. The contributing factors behind this drop were lower demand for back-end products
such as Vibration equipment and Chambers in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2006, a
saturation of equipment and electronic components in the current market, and continued conservative
spending on capital equipment by many companies.
We continued to focus our marketing efforts on Asia, as we believe that the recovery of equipment
sales in that region is improving more rapidly than sales within the U.S. Equipment sales in the
U.S. continue to decline as many companies are still conservative in capital equipment spending.
The distribution operation located in Singapore will focus on selling Wet Process Stations
primarily to research institutions and local universities. Equipment and electronic component
sales are very competitive, as the products are prevalent in the market. Thus, add value has
been a key phrase in the mission statement of the distribution segment.
The backlog in the distribution segment at June 30, 2006 was $535, reflecting a decrease of $564 or
51%, compared to the backlog of $1,099 at June 30, 2005 due to a lower demand for back-end
products, such as Vibration equipment, chambers and wafer fabricator.
Overall Gross Margin
Overall gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, improved by 3.2% from 24.1% for fiscal 2005 to
27.3% for fiscal 2006. In terms of dollar amount, gross margin for fiscal 2006 was $7,931, an
increase of $1,884, or 31%, compared to $6,047 for fiscal 2005. The increase in overall gross
margin was due to the decrease of material costs in the manufacturing segment, and better
utilization of testing facilities in the testing segment, offset by the decline of gross margin in
the distribution segment due to lower margin back-end products.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the manufacturing segment was improved by 3.8%, from
15.3% in fiscal 2005 to 19.2% in fiscal 2006. In terms of dollar amount, gross margin in the
manufacturing segment in fiscal 2006 was $2,384, an increase of $746, or 46%, compared to $1,638 in
fiscal 2005. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to lower material cost incurred. The
reduction in material cost was the result of our cost reduction plan, under which portion of the
manufacturing process was outsourced to cost effective, competitive vendors.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the testing segment was improved by 3.2%, from 32% in
fiscal 2005 to 35.2% in fiscal 2006. However, in terms of dollar amount, gross margin in the
testing segment for fiscal 2006 was increased by 40% to $5,092 for fiscal 2006 from $3,617 for
fiscal 2005. The increase in gross margin was consistent with the increase in revenue. Our
testing facilities require substantial investment to be built and significant portions of our
operating costs are fixed in nature. In general, these costs do not decline along with reductions
in customer demand or the utilization of our testing capacity, which in turn can adversely affect
our profit margin. Conversely, as product demand rises and facility utilization increases, the
fixed costs are spread over the increased output, which improve our profit margins.
Gross margin, as a percentage of revenue in the distribution segment, was decreased by 5.1% from
25.8% for fiscal 2005 to 20.7% for fiscal 2006. In terms of dollar amount, gross margin in the
distribution segment in fiscal 2006 was $455, a decrease of $338, or 43%, compared to $793 in
fiscal 2005. The decline in gross margin was because the revenue in the distribution segment for
fiscal 2006 was primarily generated from low margin back-end products.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1,855, or 41.5%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006
due to an increase of $546 in payroll expenses as a result of a larger headcount to handle the rise
in sales volume, an increase of $78 in provision for doubtful debts, and an increase of $388 in
general and administration expenses. Directors and officers bonuses increased by $843 as a result
of the gain related primarily to the sale of the Ireland property. These bonuses were granted
based primarily on a percentage of our pre-tax profits for fiscal 2006, which is consistent with
our long standing compensation programs for directors and corporate officers. With regard to the
gain of the property located in Dublin, Ireland, the recipients agreed to take their bonuses based
on after-tax profits.
Selling expenses decreased by $88, or 8.3%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 due to fewer net sales
in the distribution segment, which had a commission basis.
Research and development decreased by $23, or 24.7%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 due to less
activity and fewer employee costs in the U.S. operation.
Impairment loss decreased by $9, or 12.9%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 due to fewer burn-in
equipment and machinery in Singapore becoming obsolete. The burn-in equipment and machinery become
obsolete as technology changes. The impairment loss consisted of machinery, equipment and leasehold
improvements (pertaining to the Singapore operations) due to changes in demand for certain burn-in
services, which in turn made certain of our existing burn-in facilities obsolete.
Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment increased by $21 from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006
due to the disposal of certain fixed assets at a loss.
Income from Operations
Income from operations, as a percentage of total revenue, improved marginally by 0.3% from 1.4% for
fiscal 2005 to 1.7% for fiscal 2006. In terms of dollar amount, income from operations increased
by $128, or 36%, from $359 for fiscal 2005 to $487 for fiscal 2006 due to an increase in gross
profit of $1,884, offset with a net increase in operating expenses of $1,756.
Interest Expense
The interest expenses for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Interest expenses decreased by $23, or 14%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 due mainly to a lower
usage of lines of credit. However, this was offset by an increase in term loans in the Singapore
operation.
Other Income
Other income for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

Other income increased by $416, or 228.6%, from fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2006 primarily due to the
increase in interest income generated from short-term deposits and an increase in other items, but
offset by the currency transactional loss. Interest income in fiscal 2006 was increased by $155
due to short-term deposits made using the proceeds from the sale of the property in Dublin,
Ireland. Other items increased by $317 which was mainly due to the reversing of a provision of
$269 in the fourth quarter,
22
related to the value added tax assessment incurred in our Bangkok testing operations in fiscal
1996. The reversal was a result of the review conducted by the tax authority in Thailand to comply
with the tax regulation there. Also contributing to the increase of other items was the receipt of
$39 received from the Ireland government due to redundant payments incurred in our former testing
operations in Ireland. These were offset by a currency translation loss, which increased by $56
from a current transactional gain of $10 for fiscal 2005.
Income Tax
Income tax provision increased by $100, or 63.3%, from $158 in fiscal 2005 to $258 in fiscal 2006.
This increase was primarily attributed to higher taxable income generated from the Singapore
location. The Singapore operations generated a profit of $2,966 in fiscal 2006, up from $1,429 in
fiscal 2005. The income tax amount included a provision for deferred tax liability of $28 for the
Singapore operation and net of a deferred tax liability of $10 for the Bangkok operation as a
result of the reversal of deferred tax assets provision from the prior year. These were offset by
net of a deferred tax assets provision of $86 for the Malaysia operation. The effective tax rate
decreased from 42% in fiscal 2005 to 27% in fiscal 2006. The decrease was due to the use of foreign
tax credits and general business credits, offset by the dividend income in fiscal 2006.
Income from Discontinued Operations
Income from discontinued operations for fiscal 2006 was $8,459, which included a gain of $8,909
from the sale of property located in Dublin, Ireland offset by a loss of $450 from discontinued
operations.
Net Income
Net income for fiscal 2006 increased 3,997% over net income for fiscal 2005. Net income was $9,056
in fiscal 2006 compared to $221 for fiscal 2005. The main factor that contributed to the increase
of $8,835 was the gain of $8,909 from the sale of property located in Dublin, Ireland. The
increase of $381 in income from continuing operations was due to the increase of net sales and the
increase of $416 in other income. The majority of the other income was from the reversal of a tax
provision of $269 in the fourth quarter, in accordance with instruction from the tax
authority in Thailand.
Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.19 in fiscal 2006, an
increase of $0.12. Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations were $2.72 and
$2.70, respectively, in fiscal 2006, as compared to $0 in fiscal 2005, mainly due to income from
discontinued operations derived from the sale of the Dublin, Ireland property.

Income from operations in the testing segment in fiscal 2006 was $1,454, an increase of $914, or
169%, compared to $540 in fiscal 2005. The increase was due primarily to the increase of $1,475 in
gross margin previously discussed. In addition, an increase in demand from one of our customers
with regard to its high-end personal computers, notebooks and server chips also contributed to the
increase. Offsetting the positive increase was an increase of $561 in operating expenses.
Operating expenses in the testing segment were $3,638 and $3,077 for fiscal 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the increase in payroll and
related expenses, as a result of the increase in headcount in Singapore in fiscal 2006.

Loss from operations in the distribution segment increased from $80 in fiscal 2005 to $118 in
fiscal 2006. The increase in operating loss was attributable to a decrease in gross profit of
$338, and offset by a decrease in operating expenses of $300. The decline in gross margin was a
result of the revenue primarily from low margin back-end products in fiscal 2006. Operating
expenses were $573 and $873 for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. The decrease in
operating expenses was attributable to lower selling expenses as the result of the decrease in
sales.

Net sales for fiscal 2005 were $25,061, increased by $6,400, or 34.3%, compared to $18,661 for
fiscal 2004. The increase in net sales can be discussed within the three segments.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the manufacturing segment was
increased by 50% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. The increase was due in part to increased sales
of burn-in systems, which improved by $662 with a 47.4% increase in quantity sold and a drop in
average unit selling price of 13.3%, and increased sales of burn-in boards by $3,954, a 234.7%
spike in quantity sold and a 14.5% rise in average unit selling price. Some of our electronic
device manufacturing customers increased their capital equipment in order to meet their increase in
production capacity. The personal computer market expanded in Asia, leading to greater demand for
electronic components. The increase in sales of burn-in boards derived from newly acquired
customers in this region whom the Company had been pursuing for some time. However, these factors
were offset by lower sales of Artic Temperature Controlled Chucks, Environmental Test Equipment and
Wet Process Stations. Sales of Artic Temperature Controlled Chucks were dropped by $100 from
fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005, with a decrease of 66.7% in quantity sold and an increase of 54.4% in
average unit selling price. Environmental Test Equipment sales weredeclined by $96 from fiscal
2004 to fiscal 2005, with a 30% increase in quantity sold, but a 50.5% decrease in the average unit
selling price. Sales for both of these items were affected by cautious spending in the U.S. due to
inventory adjustments on capital equipment in the distribution channel, which in turn affected the
manufacturing of equipment in the U.S. operation. Sales of Wet Process Stations of $1,003 from
fiscal 2004 primarily came from Universal Systems. This manufacturing operation in San Jose,
California was moved to Singapore in fiscal 2004 due to high manufacturing costs in the U.S.
Singapore distribution personnel were trained to manufacture Wet Process Stations at that time.
During fiscal 2005, a Wet Process Station was delivered to the customer, but the Company was unable
to recognize the sale as it did not meet our revenue recognition policy (SAB104). Therefore, no
Wet Process Stations were sold in fiscal 2005.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the testing segment was increased by
$2,893, or 34%, from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. The bulk of the sales increase was in our newly
acquired burn-in operation in Malaysia, which accounted for approximately 16.6% of total burn-in
services. Although the Singapore testing operation experienced a change in services mix, the high
demand for testing of the new type of microprocessor chips was more than enough to make up for the
drop in sales
25
volume for testing of the slower speed microprocessor chips. Customers changed their requirements,
which resulted in a lower average unit selling price for many of our products. However, we expect
to be compensated for this by the increase in burn-in services demanded for the new, faster
microprocessor chips. The semiconductor market in Thailand declined noticeably, and our operation
in that region experienced a drop off in sales of 17.8% to $353 in fiscal 2005 as compared to sales
of $430 in fiscal 2004.
As a percentage of the total revenue, the revenue generated by the distribution segment was
decreased slightly by $57, or 1.8%, from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. However, the distribution
segment had a significant change in sales mix. Higher margin Test Chambers, Vibration equipment
and other products increased in sales by $717 in fiscal 2005 over fiscal 2004, with a 68.8%
increase in quantity sold and a 14.6% rise in average unit selling price. This was mainly due to
the semiconductor markets in Taiwan and China, which grew strongly over that year. The majority of
our new customers had facilities set up in China and needed test equipment for their quality
control. Hence, there was a hike in demand for Vibration equipment and Test Chambers from
customers in Asia. In addition, a new distribution operation was set up in Singapore in fiscal
2005 to act as a distributor of electronic components for customers in the region, which also
positively impacted sales. Sales of lower-margin front-end products were declined by $688 from
fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005, with a drop of 22.2% in quantity sold and a decline of 17.3% in average
unit selling price. The reason for this decrease was the decline in customer demand for these
products in the U.S. Thus, the sales team shifted focus from lower-margin front end products to
marketing other, more profitable products. Sales of parts and services dropped $90 from fiscal
2004 to fiscal 2005 as the Company shifted its focus to training and testing on the manufacturing
of Wet Process Stations.
Overall Gross Margin
The overall gross margin declined slightly from 24.8% in fiscal 2004 to 24.1% in fiscal 2005. The
erosion in the margin was the result of a surge in sales for low-margin burn-in boards, which
caused the group margin to slide 0.7% compared to the previous fiscal year. In addition, inventory
totaling $33 was written off in the U.S. manufacturing operation due to obsolescence. The decline
in overall gross margin from the manufacturing segment was partially offset by increased margins in
the testing and distribution segments, which were the result of many factors to be further
explained.
The gross margin in the manufacturing segment was decreased by 4%, even though sales increased by
50% compared to fiscal 2004. The hike in sales of burn-in boards was not enough to raise the
overall gross margin, and the same was true for the hike in quantity sold of burn-in systems,
though their price had lowered. However, the Company wished to continue manufacturing low-margin
burn-in boards in order to maintain market share. Sales by the manufacturing segment in the U.S.
dropped 67.4% from $2,883 in fiscal 2004 to $940 in 2005, but the cost of sales, which included
fixed and semi-fixed costs, did not decrease proportionately due to the fact that the operation was
already operating at minimal cost. Additionally, the U.S. operation had to write off $33 in
inventory due to obsolescence
The gross margin in the testing segment was increased by 2.0% from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. The
improvement in the Singapore testing operation increased the overall margin for this segment. By
upgrading the existing facilities in that region, the operation avoided incurring additional rental
costs for the burn-in services for the new chips and saved in terms of minimal renovation costs
without incurring much depreciation. However, further renovation will incur more costs. With more
efficient manpower scheduling, labor costs as a percentage of sales dropped from 19.3% in fiscal
2004 to 17.6% in fiscal 2005, which also positively impacted the gross margin for this segment.
The 2.6% increase in gross margin for the distribution segment was due to the substantial
percentage increase in quantity and average unit selling price for Test Chambers and Vibration
equipment. The increase in margin for Test Chambers and Vibration equipment was able to negate the
negative impact from decreased sales volume and selling prices of lower-margin products and spare
parts.

As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased by 1.7% from 24.4% in fiscal 2004 to 22.7%
in fiscal 2005. This slight drop was attributable to the decrease in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales in the manufacturing segment.
General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were decreased by 1.6%, from 19.4%
in fiscal 2004 to 17.8% in fiscal 2005. This was primarily due to the sudden surge in sales of
burn-in boards and systems in the manufacturing segment, while at the same time, keeping operating
expenses in this segment minimal. On the other hand, in terms of dollar value, general and
administrative expenses increased by $857 compared to fiscal 2004 due to a number of factors.
Salaries in the Southeast Asia region increased $314 to accommodate the new testing operation in
Malaysia and the higher headcount needed in the Singapore cost center to support operations in
Southeast Asia. Bonus provisions in the amount of $87 were incurred in 2005 due to better
performance by the Singapore Testing and Manufacturing operations personnel, whereas there was a
reversal of bonuses in the amount of $97 in 2004 due to unmet bonus criteria. Increased
professional fees, such as an ISO audit and outsourcing of accounting services, contributed to $72
of the increase in the Singapore and Thailand operations. Depreciation costs from the Thailand and
Malaysia operations increased by $53 due to the addition of a building extension and facility
renovations needed to accommodate new products. Furthermore, the Company accrued $51 in fiscal
2005 for an annual event, which was cancelled in fiscal 2004. We incurred higher bank charges of
$14 in the Singapore operation for the renewal of a guarantee and an increase in insurance in the
amount of $9 for a new policy. We incurred $73 in the Malaysia operation due to higher operating
expenses such as printing and stationary, insurance, upkeep of office and non-capitalized assets,
as well as a higher provision for doubtful debts of $22, as the tenant in our Malaysia facility
defaulted on payment. In the same operation was an overprovision for the cost of moving equipment
in fiscal 2004 after the operation was scaled down. We incurred an increase in amortization costs
of $96 for customer relation intangibles in the Malaysia operation, and an increase of $9 for legal
matters pertaining to this newly acquired facility. We also incurred fees of $10 for consulting
work on SOX 404 requirements and legal fees of $17 for the newly acquired operation for SEC
disclosure purposes. Corporate officers traveled more in fiscal 2005, increasing travel and
entertainment costs by $19. Another $30 in board fees were incurred due to an adjustment in
directors compensation at the beginning of the fiscal year. Furthermore, there was a reversal of
bonuses of $41 in the U.S. operation in fiscal 2004 due to unmet bonus criteria, whereas no such
reversal occurred in 2005. Finally, there was an increase in bad debts expense of $11 in one of
the U.S. operations for irrecoverable debt and $9 in miscellaneous costs. However, all of these
factors were somewhat offset by certain factors, such as a $57 savings from the Universal Systems
operation after it was relocated from San Jose to Singapore. For the same reason there were
savings of $17 in equipment rental, $73 in insurance and $20 in audit fees. Also, there was lower
headcount in the accounting department in the U.S., which lowered the salary expenditure by $43.
Finally, there was $10 in lowered audit fees, as the service for fiscal 2005 had not yet been
performed. The expenses incurred in the Ireland operation were included in discontinued operations.
As a percentage of sales, selling expenses decreased slightly from 4.7% in fiscal 2004 to 4.2% in
fiscal 2005 due primarily to the surge in the manufacturing sales, which offset an increase in
headcount in distribution and higher commission and advertisement costs in Singapore. However, in
terms of dollar value, selling expenses increased by $183 from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 due to
several factors. Salaries increased by $87 due to increased headcount for the expansion of the
distribution operation in Singapore. The provision of warranty increased by $8 and commissions
increased by $115 due to higher equipment sales in the manufacturing and distribution segments,
respectively. Additionally, there was commission income in the distribution segment in the amount
of $52 in fiscal 2004 and none in fiscal 2005. Finally, $14 more in advertising costs were spent
in order to procure new customers in Singapore. All these factors were somewhat offset by savings
in salaries of sales personnel of $50, commission of $20 and rental and utilities of $33 as
compared to fiscal 2004, due to the relocation of the manufacturing operation from San Jose to
Singapore. Additionally, some new customers of our Malaysia and Singapore operations were located
in those same areas, therefore cutting travel expenses by $8.
Research and development expenses decreased $24 from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 due to less
activity in the U.S. operation.
The Company had an impairment loss of $70 in fiscal 2005 consisting of machinery and equipment,
furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvement pertaining to the Singapore testing operation.
Due to the decrease in demand for the slower speed microprocessor chips, some of our existing
burn-in facilities assets became obsolete. In contrast to fiscal 2004, there was an impairment
loss in the amount of $4.
There was a gain on disposal of fixed assets of $39 in fiscal 2004, derived primarily from the
Thailand operations, on sales of equipment and boards. There was a minimal loss in fiscal 2005 on
disposal of fixed assets.
Income from operations
Income from operations as a percentage of sales was improved marginally by 1% from fiscal 2004 to
2005. In absolute amount it went up $303 from $56 in fiscal 2004 to $359 in fiscal 2005 due to the
increase in gross profit of $1,425, but was offset with a net increase in operating expenses of
$1,122.

Interest expense was increased by $61 from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. This was due to higher
usage of credit by the Singapore operations for the expansion of its facilities, thereby incurring
higher interest expenses of $77. The higher expenses were offset by a decrease in the interest
from capital leases of $15 and a decrease in miscellaneous expenses of $1.

|

|
Other income decreased by $75 from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 due to several factors. There was a
gain on marketable securities of $115 after the Malaysia subsidiary disposed of all investments and
subsequently exited the market in fiscal 2004, whereas there was no such transaction in fiscal
2005. Furthermore, there was lower interest income of $20 and lower dividend income of $2 from the
Malaysia subsidiary. There was an exchange gain of $22 in the Singapore and Thailand operations.
Finally, sundry income increased by $17.
Income Tax
The total income tax provision was increased by $166, from a negative $8 in fiscal 2004 to $158 in
fiscal 2005. Of the change of $166, there was an increase in the current portion of foreign income
tax of $52, from $77 in fiscal 2004 to $129 in fiscal 2005. This increase was attributable mainly
to the higher taxable income generated by our Singapore operation. The Singapore operation
generated a profit of $561 in fiscal 2005 and a loss of $61 in fiscal 2004. In addition, there was
a tax provision of $35 in the Thailand operation based on taxable income of $154 in fiscal 2005.
This was lower compared to the tax provision of $55 in fiscal 2004 based on taxable income of $231.
Even though the Malaysia operation suffered losses in fiscal 2005, there were still certain
minimal tax provisions incurred.
The increase in deferred income tax provision of $38 which was incurred in fiscal 2005 was the
difference between deferred tax liability solely in Singapore of $682 as of June 30, 2005 and $644
as of June 30, 2004. Comparing the deferred income tax benefit of $67 for fiscal 2004, the
resulting change was $105, accounting for 67% of the total change of $157 aforementioned. The
increase in deferred tax liabilities was attributable mainly to the result of the timing
differences related to the recording of depreciation expenses for book and tax purposes and
estimated tax liability resulting from accumulated corporate expenses allocated from the U.S. In
the meantime, the Company did not recognize any deferred income tax benefits related to net
operating losses generated in the U.S. Management believes that it was more likely than not that
these future benefit from these timing differences would not be realized. Accordingly, the Company
provided a full valuation on the estimated deferred tax assets.
The Companys effective income tax rate increased from 5% in fiscal 2004 to 43% in fiscal 2005.
The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal 2005 was due mainly to the decrease in foreign tax
rate reduction which was negative 9% for fiscal 2005 compared to negative 37% in fiscal 2004. The
decrease in foreign tax rate reduction was the result of an increase in income tax provision in our
subsidiaries outside the U.S. for fiscal 2005 compared to the income tax provision in these
subsidiaries for fiscal 2004. In addition, the change in valuation allowance to deferred tax
assets in fiscal 2005 contributed 9% compared to 2% in fiscal 2004. Finally, other permanent
differences contributed 3% in fiscal 2005 whereas there were none in fiscal 2004.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, respectively.
Income taxes are provided in those countries where taxable income is earned. Income in one country
is not offset by losses in another country. Accordingly, no benefit is provided for losses in the
countries except where the loss can be carried back against income recognized in previous years.
In essence, the effect of providing tax provision against taxable income and providing no benefit
for losses generated in the U.S. results in an effective tax rate that differs from the federal
statutory rate.
Net Income
Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 was approximately $221, which represented an
increase of $1 from a net income of $220 for fiscal 2004. Consequently, basic and diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations increased by
$0.01 to $0.07 and from $0.05 to $0.07 respectively, in fiscal 2005. Basic and diluted earnings per
share from discontinued operations decreased by $0.01 to $0 and from $0.02 to $0, respectively.

Loss from operations went down from $207 in fiscal 2004 to $108 in fiscal 2005. The relocation of
Universal Systems resulted in the reduction of certain fixed costs, such as $107 in salaries, $123
in office and equipment rental, $123 in utilities and insurance costs, $20 in commissions, and
another $20 in professional and audit fees. The transferred operation is currently being operated
by existing Singapore personnel. General and administrative expenses in the manufacturing segment
as a percentage of sales by that segment dropped from 12.6% in fiscal 2004 to 9.8% in fiscal 2005,
while selling expenses as a percentage of sales dropped from 5.5% to 2.9%, mainly due to the 50.0%
increase in sales in fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004. Furthermore, the manufacturing operation
in Singapore managed the sales increase with its existing headcount while outsourcing some projects
in order to maintain a lean workforce. With this strategy, the operation was able to operate at
lower overhead.

The testing segment experienced a $253 increase in income from operations from fiscal 2004 to
fiscal 2005. Much of this improvement was due to higher gross profit. Some was the result of more
efficient scheduling of manpower and the upgrading of some of our existing facilities to cater to
the changing requirements of customers, which put us at a competitive edge and allowed us to
generate greater profits. Despite higher general and administrative expenses in this segment,
which increased from 20.3% in fiscal 2004 to 22.1% in fiscal 2005, the gross profit was more than
enough to offset the higher salaries, salary-related expenses and additional costs for setting up
the newly acquired burn-in facility in Malaysia.

Operating income in the distribution segment dropped by $53 from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005. This
decline was mainly due to lower sales and greater selling expenses incurred in the Singapore
Distribution operations. Additionally, we mobilized some of our engineers to undergo training on
the manufacturing of Wet Process Stations. This training and testing required a fair amount of
time and cost for these engineers, impacting the income from operation in this segment.
Additionally, selling expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 11.2% in fiscal 2004 to
19.5% in fiscal 2005 due to increased commissions of $96 in the Singapore distribution operation as
a result of an increase in sales of commissionable equipment. This same operation had
commissionable income of $52 in fiscal 2004 but none in fiscal 2005. Salaries in this segment were
increased by $100 due to the expansion of the distribution operation in Singapore. However, at the
current level of sales as a distributor, the margin was not sufficient to cover the salary and
rental costs. We anticipate that the operation will continue to search for products with a higher
margin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our financial position is strong. Our working capital at June 30, 2006 was
$13,295, increased by $8,486, or 176%, compared to working capital of $4,809 at June 30, 2005. The
current ratio at June 30, 2006 was 2.56, compared to 1.82 at June 30, 2005. We believe that we
have the ability to maintain positive working capital and strong liquidity in the near future.
In August 2005, we established a winding-down plan to close the testing operation in Dublin,
Ireland. In late September 2005, we entered into a Definite Sale and Purchase Agreement with a
buyer through an auction process. The sale was consummated on November 1, 2005. The gross
proceeds were approximately $10,574, cost to sell was $218 and capital gain tax on the disposal
gain was $1,955, resulting in net proceeds of $8,401. The loss from discontinued operations of
$450 was deemed as cash outflow from operating activities of the discontinued operation.
Consequently, the net proceeds provided by investing activities were $8,401 from the sale of the
property, and the cash used in financing activities was the disbursement of $88 to pay off the
outstanding equipment loan. The impact of this discontinued operation was immaterial because the
total revenues for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were approximately $600 and $500, respectively. We
believe that there will not be any future significant cash flows from the discontinued operation,
as the outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable are immaterial to our financial
position and liquidity.
Before moving out of Ireland, we wired approximately $7,800 to our Singapore subsidiary where the
main operations are located. On December 2, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
cash dividend of fifty cents ($0.50) per share based on the shareholders of record on January 10,
2006. The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of January 10, 2006 was 3,215,532 and
the total cash dividends paid on January 25, 2006 were $1,608, which dividends were paid out of the
above $7,800. In addition, $705 of the $7,800 was used for bonuses to the directors and corporate
officers which were paid in December 2005 and January 2006.
Cash Flows Analysis
Comparison of Fiscal 2006 and 2005
Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2006 was $850, a decrease of $1,774, or 192%,
compared to net cash of $924 provided by operating activities for fiscal 2005. The decrease in net
cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2006 was attributable to the following factors: (i)
the increase in net income; (ii) the increase in non-cash items; (iii) the changes in operating
assets and liabilities; and (iv) the cash inflow from accounts payables. The net income from
operating activities in fiscal 2006 increased by $8,835, to $9,056 from $221 in fiscal 2005.
However, the increase was caused by the sale of property of a discontinued operation in the amount
of $8,909. The cash inflow from accounts payables increased by $2,728 to $2,525 in fiscal 2006,
compared to a cash outflow of $203 in fiscal 2005 as a result of the increase in material purchases
to support the sales backlog. Also offsetting the net cash was the cash outflow from accounts
receivable of $4,515, which increased by $4,050, compared to a cash outflow of $465 in fiscal 2005.
Net cash provided by investing activities for fiscal 2006 was $2,733, an increase of $3,674, or
390%, compared to net cash of $941 used in investing activities for fiscal 2005. Compared to net
cash of $941 used in investing activities for fiscal 2005, the increase in net cash provided by
investing activities for fiscal 2006 was attributed to: (i) the net proceeds from discontinued
operation, which were $8,401 incurred in fiscal 2006 whereas there was no such proceeds in fiscal
2005; (ii) a decrease in capital expenditures by $1,051 to $1,255 for fiscal 2006, compared to
$2,306 for fiscal 2005; (iii) an increase in proceeds of disposing equipment of $154 in fiscal 2006
compared to proceeds of only $1 in fiscal 2005; (iv) a decrease in acquisition cost by $988 to $138
incurred in fiscal 2006 compared to $1,126 incurred in fiscal 2005; and (v) proceeds of $4,429 used
in investing in short-term deposits in fiscal 2006 compared to net cash of $2,490 provided by net
investment in short-term deposits in fiscal 2005.
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $1,163 to $1,046 in fiscal 2006 from a cash
inflow of $117 in last fiscal year. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in fiscal
2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 was primarily due to more proceeds from long-term debt of $1,062 as
compared to $862, incurred to expand the operation in Singapore, and proceeds of $784 from stock
options exercised compared to $27. However, these were offset by (i) net repayments on the line of
credit of
30
$220, (ii) fewer dividends paid to minority interest of $28 as compared to $53, (iii) dividends of
$1,608 paid to shareholders in fiscal 2006 compared to $0 in fiscal 2005; and (iv) repayments of
$1,036 of debt and capital lease, (which included repayment of Irelands outstanding equipment loan
of $88), made in fiscal 2006 compared to repayments of $909 made in fiscal 2005.
Comparison of Fiscal 2005 and 2004
Net cash provided by operating activities during fiscal 2005 was $939, a decrease of $864 from net
cash of $1,803 provided by operating activities during fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily due
to the net impact of adjusting non-cash items for fiscal 2005 of $1,607 compared to $872 for fiscal
2004, whereas the total changes in operating assets and liabilities for fiscal 2005 were a negative
$889 compared to a positive $711 for fiscal 2004. Among the non-cash items, depreciation and
amortization expenses for fiscal 2005 made a significant impact of $1,521 (positive cash flow)
whereas the accounts receivable, other assets, inventories and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities for fiscal 2005 made a significant impact of $993 (negative cash flow). Management
believed that the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was consistent with the
decrease in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2005 was $956, reflecting a decrease of $572,
compared to the net cash of $1,528 during fiscal 2004. The decrease in net cash used in investing
activities was attributable mainly to the decrease in purchasing short-term deposits in fiscal
2005, as the proceeds from maturing short-term deposits were used for capital expenditures and the
acquisition of the business in Malaysia, which activity did not take place in fiscal 2004. In
fiscal 2004, the proceeds from maturing short-term deposits were less than the cash outflow to
invest in short-term deposits. In contrast, the proceeds from maturing short-term deposits in
fiscal 2005 were much more than the proceeds in fiscal 2004, though still not adequate to cover the
investment in capital expenditures, short-term deposits and the acquisition of the business in
Malaysia. As all investments in marketable securities had been disposed of during fiscal 2004,
there were no such proceeds from selling investments in marketable securities during fiscal 2005.
Net cash provided by financing activities during fiscal 2005 was $117, reflecting an increase of
$581 compared to the net cash of $464 in fiscal 2004. The increase was due mainly to the increase
of $190 in borrowings on lines of credit, and lower payments for debts and capital leases of $909
during fiscal 2005 compared to net repayments of $1,359 for the year ended June 30, 2004. Payments
were higher in fiscal 2004 due to early repayment on a loan in Singapore. The increase in
borrowing on lines of credit resulted in fewer proceeds from borrowing through long-term debts,
noting proceeds from long-term debts of $862 in fiscal 2005 compared to $999 in fiscal 2004.
Furthermore, the increase in cash provided by financing activities was due to the repayment of $155
on the outstanding lines of credit in fiscal 2004, whereas there was no such cash outflow in fiscal
2005.
Approximately $670 of short-term deposits as of June 30, 2005 were held in the Companys 55% owned
Malaysian subsidiary. Of such amount, $510 was denominated in the currency of Malaysia, of which
$139 is currently available for movement overseas as authorized by the Central Bank of Malaysia.
There were additional amounts available as dividends (after making deductions for income tax)
pursuant to Malaysian regulations.
Capital Resources
Management believes that we have the economic wherewithal to satisfy short-term funding for several
reasons. We had $10,390 in cash and short-term deposits at June 30, 2006, representing an increase
of $5,740, or 123%, compared to $4,650 at June 30, 2005. The increase in cash and short-term
deposits was mainly due to the sales of property located in Dublin, Ireland. On January 3, 2006,
we consummated the acquisition of testing operations in Shanghai, China, as management believed
that acquiring the burn-in testing business in Shanghai would enhance our future growth
opportunities and develop our market share in the China testing service segment. Furthermore, as
the volume of our manufacturing business located in Van Nuys, California has been gradually
declining, we anticipate that the need for working capital to finance our U.S. operations will
decrease accordingly.
The majority of our capital expenditures are based on the demands from our customers, as we are in
a capital intensive industry. In the past three years, our capital expenditures ranged from 1.2
million to 2.3 million. Based on current client demands, management estimates that the capital
expenditures in fiscal 2007 will range from $2.0 million to $3.5 million. We believe that we are
able to satisfy these future needs from the working capital and the lines of credit.
We paid down our lines of credit by $220 to $116 in fiscal 2006 compared to $336 for fiscal 2005.
However, trade payables increased from $1,681 at June 30, 2005 to $3,809 at June 30, 2006 due to
increased sales. As the backlog of the Company soared in the last quarter of fiscal 2006, we
anticipate that our purchases of raw materials will increase in order to meet demand in the next
few quarters.
Our credit rating provides us with ready and adequate access to funds in global markets. At June
30, 2006, we had available short-term lines of credit totaling $9,435, of which $9,319 was unused.

Corporate Guarantee Arrangement
The Company provides a corporate guarantee of approximately $1,579 to one of its subsidiaries in
Southeast Asia to secure line-of-credit and term loans from a bank to finance the operations of
such subsidiary. With the strong financial position of the subsidiary company, the Company
believes this corporate guarantee arrangement will have no material impact on its liquidity or
capital resources.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the provisions of Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to
Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net
Presentation). EITF Issue No. 06-3 requires that the presentation of taxes within
revenue-producing transactions between a seller and a customer, including but not limited to sales,
use, value added, and some excise taxes, should be on either a gross (included in revenue and cost)
or a net (excluded from revenue) basis. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a
gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial
statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are
significant. The disclosure of those taxes can be done on an aggregate basis. EITF Issue No. 06-3
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, which will be our third quarter of
fiscal 2007. The Company expects that the adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-3 will not have a material
impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) which prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute, as well as criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and
measuring uncertain tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded
disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. FIN 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, which will be our fiscal 2008, and is
required to be recognized as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.
32
The Company expects that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on its consolidated
results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 7A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Although the majority of our sales, cost of manufacturing and marketing are transacted in U.S.
dollars, significant portions of our revenue are denominated in Singapore and Euro dollars,
Malaysian Ringgit, Thai Baht and other currencies. Consequently, a portion of our costs, revenue
and operating margins may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily between the U.S.
dollar and such foreign currencies. Our financial position and results of operations are also
affected by fluctuations of exchange rates between reporting currency (which is U.S. dollars) and
functional currencies used in our operations. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in
a decrease of $190 in fiscal 2006, a decrease of $25 in fiscal 2005, and an increase of $155 in
fiscal 2004 to shareholders equity.
We try to reduce our risk of foreign currency fluctuations by purchasing certain equipment and
supplies in U.S. dollars and seeking payment, when possible, in U.S. dollars. However, we may not
be successful in our attempts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Those
fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial results.
Interest Rate Risk
We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Our investment
portfolio is generally comprised of cash deposits. Our policy is to place these investments in
instruments that meet high credit quality standards. These securities are subject to interest rate
risk, and could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate and thus subject us to market risk due
to those fluctuations. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our investment
portfolio, we do not expect any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio, though no
assurances can be given that material losses will not occur.
The interest rates on our loans and lines of credit range from 4.19% to 7.50% per annum. As of
June 30, 2006, the outstanding aggregate principal balance on these loans and lines of credit was
approximately $1,616. These interest rates are subject to change and we cannot predict an increase
or decrease in rates, if any.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and shareholders
Trio-Tech International
Van Nuys, California:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trio-Tech International and
Subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders equity statement and cash flows for
each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). 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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Trio-Tech International and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are
presented in U.S. dollars.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The Singapore dollar, the national currency of
Singapore, is the primary currency of the economic environment in which the operations in Singapore
are conducted. The Company also operates in Malaysia, Thailand, China and Ireland, of which the
Malaysian ringgit, Thai baht, Renminbi and Euro dollars, respectively, are the national currencies.
The Company uses the United States dollar (U.S. dollars) for financial reporting purposes.
The Company translates assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries outside the U.S. into U.S.
dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date, and the statement of
income is translated at average rates during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the
translation of the subsidiaries financial statements from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are
recorded in shareholders equity as part of accumulated comprehensive loss translation
adjustments. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in currencies other than
functional currencies of the Companys subsidiaries are reflected in income for the reporting
period.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these
financial statements are the estimated accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve
for obsolete inventory, and the deferred income tax asset allowance. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.
Accounting Period The Companys fiscal reporting period coincides with the 52-53 week period
ending on the last Friday in June for fiscal 2004. Effective July 1, 2004, the Board of Directors
approved changing the fiscal year-end date to the last day of June. The fiscal year-end date for
fiscal 2006 and 2005 was June 30, respectively. Fiscal 2004 ended June 25, 2004.
51
Revenue Recognition Revenues generated from sales of products in the manufacturing and
distribution segments are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of
the products has occurred, customer acceptance has been obtained (which means the significant risks
and rewards of the ownership have been transferred to the customer), the price is fixed or
determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Certain products sold (in the manufacturing
segment) require installation and training to be performed.
Revenue from product sales is also recorded in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues
Task Force (EITF) Statement 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables and Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements which generally
requires revenue earned on product sales involving multiple-elements to be allocated to each
element based on the relative fair values of those elements. Accordingly, the Company allocates
revenue to each element in a multiple-element arrangement based on the elements respective fair
value, with the fair value determined by the price charged when that element is sold and
specifically defined in a quotation or contract. The Company allocates a portion of the invoice
value to products sold and the remaining portion of invoice value to installation work in
proportion to the fair value of products sold and installation work to be performed. Training
elements are valued based on hourly rates, which the Company charges for these services when sold
apart from product sales. The fair value determination of products sold and the installation and
training work is also based on our specific historical experience of the relative fair values of
the elements if there is no easily observable market price to be considered. In fiscal 2006 and
2005, the installation revenues generated in connection with product sales were immaterial and
included in the product sales revenue line on the consolidated statements of income. The Company
estimates an allowance for sales returns based on historical experience with product returns.
Revenue derived from testing service is recognized when testing services are rendered.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts During the normal course of business, the
Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. Typically, credit terms require payment to be
made between 30 to 60 days of the sale. We do not require collateral from our customers. The
Company maintains its cash accounts at credit worthy financial institutions.
The Company regularly evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of each customer on a
case-by-case basis. The Company includes any account balances that are determined to be
uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After
all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the
allowance. Based on the information available to management, the Company believed that its
allowance for doubtful accounts was adequate as of June 30, 2006.
Warranty Costs The Company provides for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its
warranty program at the time the sale is recorded. The Company estimates the warranty costs based
on the historical rates of warranty returns. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its
recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Short Term Deposits Short term deposits consist of bank balances and interest bearing deposits
having maturity of 1 to 12 months. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $642 of short-term deposits
was held in the Companys 55% owned Malaysian subsidiary. Of the $642, $639 was denominated in the
currency of Malaysia. There are additional amounts available as dividends (after making deductions
for income tax) pursuant to Malaysian regulations.
As of June 30, 2005, approximately $670 of short-term deposits was held in the Companys 55% owned
Malaysian subsidiary. Of the $670, $510 was denominated in the currency of Malaysia. Out of the
$510, $139 was then available for movement to overseas, as authorized by the Central Bank of
Malaysia. There were additional amounts available as dividends (after making deductions for income
tax) pursuant to Malaysian regulations.
Investments in Marketable Securities Investments in marketable securities are accounted for under
the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115. Marketable equity securities are
classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in a separate component of shareholders
equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary on
available-for-sale securities are included in investment income. The Company recognized
comprehensive income (net of tax) of nil during the fiscal 2006 and 2005 and comprehensive loss
(net of tax) of $45 during fiscal 2004, based on its proportionate interest in the subsidiary where
the marketable securities were recorded.
Inventories Inventories consisting principally of raw materials, works in progress, and finished
goods are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market
value. The semiconductor industry is characterized by rapid technological change, short-term
customer commitments and rapid changes in demand. Provisions for estimated excess and obsolete
inventory are based on our regular reviews of inventory quantities on hand and the latest forecasts
of product demand and production requirements from our customers. Inventories are write-down for
not saleable, excess or obsolete raw materials, works-in-process and finished goods by charging
such write-downs to cost of sales. In addition to write-downs based on newly introduced parts,
statistics and judgments are used for assessing provision of the remaining inventory based on
salability and obsolescence.
52
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful lives of the
assets using the straight-line method. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for over
the lease terms or the estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is the shorter, using the
straight-line method. 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.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as incurred. Additions and
betterments to property and equipment are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or
loss is included in the statement of operations.
Other intangible asset In accordance with SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company identified a customer relationship as the only
intangible assets with a finite life of five years during the process of acquiring the testing
business in Malaysia in July 2005. The estimated fair value of this other intangible asset was
approximately $482 and is being amortized over a five-year period on a straight-line basis. No
impairment loss was recorded during fiscal 2006.
In January 2006, the Company identified one item of other intangible assets other than goodwill
with a finite life of one year during the process of acquiring the testing business in Shanghai,
China. The estimated fair value of this other intangible asset is approximately $12 and is being
be amortized over a one year period on a straight-line basis. No impairment loss was recorded
during fiscal 2006.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS No. 144) to property, plant and equipment, and other intangible assets such as customer
relationships. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and
eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will
be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $61 based on its
examination of future undiscounted cash flows, which were generated by the subsidiaries where
certain long-lived assets (certain fixed assets) were used. The impairment loss of $61 consisted of
machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements (pertaining to the
Singapore operations) due to changes in demand for certain burn-in services, which in turn made
certain of our existing burn-in facilities obsolete.
In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $70 based on its
examination of future undiscounted cash flows, which were generated by the subsidiaries where
certain long-lived assets (certain fixed assets) were used. The impairment loss of $70 consisted of
machinery and equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements (pertaining to
Singapore operations) due to changes in demand for certain burn-in services, which in turn made
certain of our existing burn-in facilities obsolete.
In fiscal 2004, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $4 based on its
examination of future undiscounted cash flows, which were generated by the subsidiaries where
certain long-lived assets (certain fixed assets) were used. The impairment loss of $4 was
pertaining to the Thailand operation.
Leases The Company leased certain property, plant and equipment in the ordinary course of
business. The leases have varying terms. Some may include renewal and/or purchase options,
escalation clauses, restrictions, penalties or other obligations that the Company considers in
determining minimum lease payments. The leases are classified as either capital leases or
operating leases, as appropriate.
Management expects that in the normal course of business, operating leases will be renewed or
replaced by other leases. The future minimum operating lease payments, for which the Company is
contractually obligated as of June 30, 2006, are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements.
Assets under capital leases are capitalized using interest rates appropriate at the inception of
each lease and are depreciated over either the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term
on a straight-line basis. The present value of the related lease payments is recorded as a
contractual obligation. The future minimum annual capital lease payments are included in the total
future contractual obligations as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Advertising Costs Advertising and other promotional costs are expensed as incurred.
This type of expense was $14 in fiscal 2006, $39 in fiscal 2005 and $25 in fiscal 2004.
53
Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, (SFAS No. 130) issued by the FASB. SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its
components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The Company has chosen to report
comprehensive income (loss) in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to shareholders
equity except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109).
SFAS No. 109 requires an entity to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred taxes
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable to the difference
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial
statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Further, the
effects of enacted tax laws or rate changes are included as part of deferred tax expenses or
benefits in the period that covers the enactment date. Management believed that it was more likely
than not that these future benefits from these timing differences would not be realized.
Accordingly, a full valuation allowance was provided as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.
For U.S. income tax purposes no provision has been made for U.S. taxes on undistributed earnings of
overseas subsidiaries with which the Company intends to continue to reinvest. It is not
practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on the foreign earnings
if they were remitted as dividends, or lent to the Company, or if the Company should sell its stock
in the subsidiary. However, the Company believes that the existing U.S. foreign tax credits and
net operating losses available would substantially eliminate any additional tax effects.
Retained earnings It is the intention of the Company to reinvest earnings of its foreign
subsidiaries in the operations of those subsidiaries. Accordingly, no provision has been made for
U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes that would result if such earnings were repatriated.
These taxes are undeterminable at this time. The amount of earnings retained in subsidiaries was
$11,922 and $7,860 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Research and Development Costs The Company incurred research and development costs of $70 in
fiscal 2006, $93 in fiscal 2005 and $117 in fiscal 2004, which were charged to operating expenses
as incurred.
Stock Based Compensation Historically the Company accounted for stock based compensation in
accordance with Accounting Principle Board No. 25 Accounting for stock issued employees. Under
this standard, stock based compensation was recognized based on the difference between the exercise
price of the stock option granted and the fair value of the underlying stock on the grant date. In
accordance with SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, the Company discloses the
pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share as if compensation has been measured using
fair value method described therein. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value
recognition provisions under SFAS No. 123R Share Based Payments, using the modified prospective
application method.
Earnings per Share Computation of basic earnings per share is conducted by dividing net income
available to common shares (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
(denominator) during a reporting period. Computation of diluted earnings per share gives effect to
all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during a reporting period. In computing diluted
earnings per share, the average market price of common shares for a reporting period is used in
determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from exercise of stock options.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments Carrying value of trade accounts receivable, accounts
payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term deposits approximate their fair value due to their
short-term maturities. Carrying values of the Companys lines of credit and long-term debt are
considered to approximate their fair value because the interest rates associated with the lines of
credit and long-term debt are adjustable in accordance with market situations when the Company
tries to borrow funds with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit
risk compose accounts receivable. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable
is generally diversified due to the number of entities composing the Companys customer base and
their geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for
potential credit losses. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes
that its credit policies do not result in significant adverse risk and historically it has not
experienced significant credit related losses.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the provisions of Emerging
Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to
Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net
Presentation). EITF Issue No. 06-3 requires that the presentation of taxes within
revenue-producing transactions between a seller and a customer, including but not limited to sales,
use, value added, and some excise taxes, should be on either a gross (included in revenue and cost)
or a net (excluded from revenue) basis.
54
In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the
amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an
income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The disclosure of those taxes can
be done on an aggregate basis. EITF Issue No. 06-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006, which will be our third quarter of fiscal 2007. The Company expects that the
adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-3 will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of
operations or financial position.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) which prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute, as well as criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and
measuring uncertain tax positions for financial statement purposes. FIN 48 also requires expanded
disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income tax assets and liabilities. FIN 48 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, which will be our fiscal 2008, and is
required to be recognized as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company expects
that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of
operations or financial position.
Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the previous years financial
statements to conform to current year presentation, with no effect on previously reported net
income.

4. STOCK OPTIONS
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had two share-based compensation plans, which are described below.
The Company historically adopted the APB No. 25 approach intrinsic value method and presented
the pro forma information in line with the requirements of SFAS No. 123. Historically, there was
no stock based compensation cost charged against income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively. There was no income tax benefit related to share-based compensation for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, as the Company did not claim a
deduction for corporate income tax purposes.
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R,
Share-Based Payments, using the modified prospective application method. Under this transition
method, compensation cost recognized during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 included the
applicable amounts of: (a) compensation cost of all share-based payments granted prior to, but not
yet vested as of, July 1, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123) and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to July 1, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the new
provisions of SFAS No. 123R). Amortization of unrecognized fair value of the non-vested options
for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 was $10 and $17, respectively. Options to purchase 30,000 shares
of the Companys common stock were issued on July 7, 2005 under the Directors Plan. The fair
value of 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options
granted under the Directors Plan was $34 disclosed in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2005, a fair value of $1.13 per share. No options were granted under the 1998 Stock Option
Plan during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006. On November 14, 2005, an option to purchase 750
shares of the Companys common stock was issued to a consultant in connection with his services
rendered to the Company and the stock options were not issued pursuant to the 1998 Stock Option
Plan or the Directors Stock Option Plan. The exercise price under the option was $2.66, which was
lower than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date of the option. The option was
exercisable immediately upon grant. The fair value of the 750 shares of the Companys common stock
issuable upon exercise of such option was approximately $2 based on the fair value at $2.92 per
share determined by the Black Scholes option pricing model.

The expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Companys stock. The
observation is made on a weekly basis. The observation period covered is consistent with the
expected terms of options. The expected terms of stock options are based on the average vesting
period on a basis consistent with the historical experience of the similar option grants. The
risk-free rate is consistent with the expected terms of stock options and based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
1998 Stock Option Plan
The Companys 1998 Stock Option Plan (the 1998 Plan), which is shareholder-approved, permits the
grant of stock options to its employees of up to 300,000 shares of common stock. Option awards are
generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Companys stock at the
date of grant. These options have a five-year contractual life term. Awards generally vest over
four years, with 25% vesting on the grant date and the balance vesting in equal installments on the
next three succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. The share-based compensation will be
amortized based on an accelerated method over the four periods. Certain option awards provide for
accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 1998 Plan).
A summary of option activities under the 1998 Plan during fiscal 2006 is presented as follows:

As of June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, there were approximately $5 and $22, respectively, of
accumulated unrecognized stock compensation expense based on fair value on the grant date related
to non-vested options granted under the 1998 Plan. Such amount is expected to be recognized during
the weighted average period of 2.5 years.
Directors Stock Option Plan
The Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan), which is shareholder-approved, permits
the grant of stock options to its duly elected non-employee Directors and one of the corporate
officers of the Company (if he or she is also a director of the Company) and covers 300,000 shares
of common stock. Fair value of 30,000 shares of the Companys common stock issuable upon exercise
of stock options granted was approximately $34 based on the fair value at $1.13 per share
determined by the Black Scholes option pricing model. Prior to July 1, 2003, option awards were
granted with an exercise price equal to 85% of the fair market price of the Companys stock at the
grant date. Subsequent to July 1, 2003, the Board approved an amendment to the Directors Plan
requiring options to purchase the Companys common stock to be exercisable at a price equal to 100%
of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date. These options have five-year
contractual terms. Options awards are exercisable immediately as of the grant date.

The intrinsic value of the 135,000 options exercised was $393. Cash received from options
exercised by directors during the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 was approximately $439.
Stock options issued not pursuant to the 1998 Plan or the Directors Plan
On November 14, 2005, an option to purchase 750 shares of the Companys common stock was issued to
a consultant in connection with his services rendered to the Company. The stock option was not
issued pursuant to the 1998 Plan or the Directors Plan. The exercise price under the option was
$2.66, which was lower than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date of the option and
was exercisable immediately upon grant. The fair value of 750 shares of the Companys common stock
issuable upon exercise of stock options granted was approximately $2 based on the fair value at
$2.92 per share determined by the Black Scholes option pricing model.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share
(EPS). Basic EPS are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the
period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during a
period. In computing diluted EPS, the average price for the period is used in determining the
number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
Stock options to purchase 28,885 shares at exercise prices ranging from $2.66 to $4.40 per share
were outstanding as of June 30, 2006. No options were excluded in the determination of common
shares equivalents, because the average market price of common shares was greater than the exercise
price of the stock options. The resulted common shares equivalents were approximately 13,000 shares
and were presented in the following table for earnings per share calculation purposes. However,
13,288 options were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS for fiscal 2006 since they were
anti-dilutive.
Stock options to purchase 302,000 shares at prices ranging from $2.25 to $5.63 per share were
outstanding as at June 30, 2005. 65,000 options were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS,
because the exercise price was greater than the weighted average market price of the common shares,
and therefore were anti-dilutive.
Stock options to purchase 345,000 shares at prices ranging from $2.25 to $6.00 per share were
outstanding as at June 30, 2004. 58,000 options were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS,
because the exercise price was greater than the weighted average market price of the common shares,
and therefore were anti-dilutive.
The following table is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares used in the computation of
basic and diluted EPS for the years presented herein:

7. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its
products and services to manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. The Company performs
continuing credit evaluations of our customers financial conditions, and although we generally do
not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from our customers in certain
circumstances.
Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables
will potentially be uncollectible. We include any accounts receivable balances that are determined
to be uncollectible in our allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a
receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the
information available to us, we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, was adequate.

The following table represents the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

At June 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1.3 million
for state income tax purposes (which will expire through fiscal 2014). The Company also had
foreign tax credits of $1.3 million, which will expire in fiscal 2015. Management of the Company is
uncertain whether it is more likely than not that these future benefits will be realized.
Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established.

The Company entered two sublease agreements with third parties to rent out the properties in
Malaysia. In October 2005 and March 2006, the Company rented out two properties in Malaysia, which
expire in December 2007 and March 2008, respectively. Total rental income from subleases amounted
to $87 in fiscal 2006, $85 in fiscal 2005 and $51 in fiscal 2004.
Total rental expense on all operating leases, cancelable and non-cancelable, amounted to $866 in
fiscal 2006, $788 in fiscal 2005 and $658 in fiscal 2004.
The Company is, from time to time, the subject of litigation claims and assessments arising out of
matters occurring in its normal business operations. In the opinion of management, resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial statements.
14. TRANSACTIONS IN SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Fiscal 2006
On July 7, 2005, the Board of Directors granted options under the 1998 Plan, covering 30,000
shares of Common Stock to four directors under the Directors Plan, all with an exercise price of
$3.75 per share (equal to the market price at the grant date). The options granted to directors
vested in full on the grant date. Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payments, using the modified
prospective application method, the compensation cost recognized was $34.
On November 14, 2005, an option to purchase 750 shares of the Companys common stock was issued to
a consultant in connection with his services rendered to the Company. The stock option was not
issued pursuant to the 1998 Plan or the Directors Plan. The exercise price under the option was
$2.66, which was lower than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date of the option and
was exercisable immediately upon grant. The fair value of 750 shares of the Companys common stock
issuable upon exercise of stock options granted was approximately $2 based on the fair value at
$2.92 per share determined by the Black Scholes option pricing model.
Fiscal 2005
On July 1, 2004, the Board of Directors granted options under the 1998 Plan, covering 5,500 shares
of Common Stock to one employee and 30,000 shares of Common Stock to four directors under the
Directors Plan, all with an exercise price of $4.40 per share (equal to the market price at the
grant date). The options granted to directors vested in full on the grant date. The option
granted to the employee has a five-year contractual life and vested 25% on the grant date and will
vest as to an additional 25% on each anniversary date. According to APB No. 25, no stock
compensation was recognized for these options to acquire 35,500 shares of Common Stock. On the
measurement date, there was no intrinsic value on these options. Therefore, no stock compensation
expense was recognized for this transaction during fiscal 2005.
On December 6, 2004, the Board of Directors granted options under the 1998 Plan, covering 4,500
shares of Common Stock to one employee with an exercise price of $4.50 per share (equal to the
market price at the grant date). The option granted to the employee has a five-year contractual
life and vested 25% on the grant date and will vest as to an additional 25% on each anniversary
date. According to APB No. 25, no stock compensation was recognized for this option. On the
measurement date, there was no intrinsic value on these options. Therefore, no stock compensation
expense was recognized for this transaction during fiscal 2005.
64
Option holders under the Directors Plan exercised options covering 10,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.25 per share. Consequently, the Company issued 10,000
shares of Common Stock in exchange for aggregate proceeds of $22.
Option holders under the 1998 Plan exercised options covering 1,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock with an exercise price of $3.40 per share and options covering 500 shares at an exercise
price of $2.66 per share. Consequently, the Company issued 1,500 shares of Common Stock in exchange
for aggregate proceeds of $5.
Fiscal 2004
On July 14, 2003, the Board of Directors granted options under the 1998 Plan, covering 61,000
shares of Common Stock to 30 employees and 35,000 shares of Common Stock to four directors under
the Directors Plan, all with an exercise price of $2.66 per share (equal to the market price at
the grant date). The options granted to directors vested in full on the grant date. The options
granted to the employees have a five-year contractual life and vested 25% on the grant date and
will vest as to an additional 25% on each anniversary date. According to APB No. 25, no stock
compensation was recognized for these 96,000 options. On the measurement date, there was no
intrinsic value on these options. Therefore, no stock compensation expense was recognized for this
transaction during fiscal 2004.
Option holders under the Directors Plan exercised options covering 5,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.72 per share. Consequently, the Company issued 5,000
shares of Common Stock in exchange for aggregate proceeds of $14.
Option holders under the Directors Plan exercised options covering 25,000 shares of the Companys
Common Stock with an exercise price of $2.82 per share. Consequently, the Company issued 25,000
shares of Common Stock in exchange for aggregate proceeds of $70.
Option holders under the 1998 Plan exercised options covering 2,000 shares of the Companys Common
Stock with an exercise price of $3.20 per share and options covering 5,000 shares at exercise price

16. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal year 2006
On January 3, 2006, the Company acquired 100% interest in Globetronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
pursuant to the Definitive Agreement dated November 18, 2005. Globetronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
(thereafter Globetronics) was a China-based, wholly owned foreign investment enterprise (WOFIE)
conducting business in the burn-in testing service segment. The name of Globetronics (Shanghai)
Co. Ltd. was changed to Trio-Tech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. upon closing. The purpose of acquiring the
burn-in testing business was to enhance the Companys future growth opportunities, expand the
Companys present operations, and develop our market share in testing service in China. Beginning
on January 3, 2006, the operating results of this subsidiary were included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the three-months ended March 31, 2006. This acquisition
transaction was not considered significant to the Company.
Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the purchase price was $153, which covered certain fixed
assets and testing services provided to the existing customers and did cover any other assets or
liabilities of the acquired entity. In addition, the Company
65
is not responsible for any disclosed
or undisclosed liabilities incurred prior to the acquisition completion date. The Definitive
Agreement also included a management service agreement, in which the Company appointed the Seller
to provide accounting services to the acquired entity for $37 during a three-month transitional
period commencing on the acquisition completion date.
In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations, the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets and identifiable
intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The Company estimated that the
book value of the fixed assets acquired approximated the fair value of similar assets available on
the market based on the information management received. The Company attributed $133 to various
items of fixed assets acquired, $8 to other receivables and $12 to an identifiable intangible
customer relationship. The excess purchase price over the fair value of tangible assets acquired
was $12, which was attributed to the customer relationship obtained along with the acquisition
transaction based on estimates and assumptions determined by the management. The economic life of
this identified intangible asset was estimated to be about one year based on management
assumptions. Therefore, the value of $12 will be amortized over one year on the straight-line
method. No goodwill was recognized. The following total presents the allocation of purchase price

Since the Company acquired the testing operation in Shanghai on January 3, 2006, the
operation results of the testing operation in Shanghai has been included in the
consolidated statement of income since that date. The purpose of pro forma is to
demonstrate as if the acquisition incurred on July 1, 2004. Accordingly, the pro forma
adjustment was based on the assumption that the fair value of the identified customer
relationship needed to be amortized over a one-year period of time, assuming the
acquisition took place on July 1, 2004. |
Fiscal year 2005
On July 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets from TS Matrix Bhd. (Seller) utilized by the
burn-in testing division of Seller for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $1,218.
Seller is one of our competitors. The Company paid approximately $92 by way of a deposit in fiscal
2004 and $1,126 in cash in fiscal 2005, of which $395 was financed through a bank-guaranteed note
which matured at December 31, 2004. Our objectives in acquiring the burn-in testing division were
to service a large electronic device manufacturer with whom we had been pursuing a business
relationship for some time and to increase our market share in testing services. Upon completion
of the acquisition, the customer signed a five-year agreement with the Company to provide testing
services. The value of obtaining this customer relationship intangible is included in other
intangible assets in the amount of $482. Results of the operations for the burn-in testing business
are included in the Companys income statement effective July 1, 2004.
In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business
Combinations, the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets and intangible
assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value assigned to intangible assets
acquired was based on estimates and assumptions determined by the management. Other intangibles
with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The
total purchase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

The excess purchase price over the fair value of tangible assets acquired was attributable to the
customer relationship obtained from the above business acquisition and recorded as other intangible
assets. No goodwill was recognized in this context. The customer relationship intangible will be
amortized over its economic life based on the contract term as stated in the sales agreement with
the customer on a straight-line method over five years.
The customer relationship intangible was previously reported in the Form 10-K as a subsequent event
disclosure for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 at $493. The difference of $11 ($493 versus the
above $482) is related to equipment transferred by Seller to the Malaysia testing operation
subsequent to the completion date on July 1, 2004.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The following pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is

19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Companys Ireland operation, as a component of the testing segment, suffered continued
operating losses in the past three fiscal years and the cash flow was minimal for the past three
years. In August 2005, the Company established a winding-down plan to close the testing operation
in Dublin, Ireland. This fact was initially disclosed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2005. Based on the restructuring plan and in accordance with EITF 03-13, the Company
presented the operation results from Ireland as a discontinued operation, as the Company believed
that no continued cash flow would be generated by the disposed component (Ireland subsidiary) and
that the Company would have no significant continuing involvement in the operation of the
discontinued component. Management of the Company initiated a plan to sell the property located in
Dublin, Ireland in August 2005 and ceased the depreciation of the property in accordance with SFAS
No. 144. In accordance with the restructuring plan, the Company would transfer the relevant
machinery and equipment to Singapore and pay off the outstanding balance on the equipment loans,
collect accounts receivable and pay off accounts payable as much as it could before moving out of
Ireland. If the accounts receivable and accounts payable were not wound down before moving out of
Ireland, the Company planned to have the Singapore office take over the responsibility for the
collection and repayment matters. As a result, the machinery and equipment located in Dublin,
Ireland were not included in the assets held for sale on the balance sheet as of September 30,
2005.
In late September 2005, the Company entered into a Definite Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell the
Ireland building with a buyer through an auction process with a selling price of 8.85 million
(equivalent to $10,574 US) and received a deposit of 885 (equivalent to $1,057 US). The sale was
consummated on November 1, 2005. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the asset held for sale was
recorded at historical carrying value of the property of $261, as of September 30, 2005, which was
lower than its fair value, less the cost to sell.
During the process of winding down the Companys operation in Dublin, Ireland, the Company incurred
general and administrative expenses of approximately $126 and one-time employment termination
benefits of approximately $330 (of which $107 were paid in the quarter ended September 30, 2005)
for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. In connection with the sale of the property located in
Dublin, Ireland, the Company also incurred the following direct expenses, including professional
fees of approximately $92, commissions and other selling related expenses of approximately $40, and
incurred a liability estimated at $86 to refund the industrial development agency grant by the
Irish government agency. The estimated amount of $86 is subject to the clearance of the Irish
government agency. These expenses were directly offset against the proceeds from selling property
as these expenses were deemed as cost to sell. The tax on capital gain in Ireland from the sale of
property was approximately $1,955, which was deducted from the gross proceeds from selling the
property after the taxable gain was determined. The Company considered the inter-period tax
allocation noting the impact of allocation was minimal, as there was a loss of $450 in the Ireland
entity before considering the gain from selling property and there were significant net operating
losses carry-forward which cannot be used to offset the taxable capital gain. The gain realized
through disposing the property in November 2005 was presented as part of income from discontinued
operations in the statement of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The Company
anticipates that it may incur additional costs and expenses in winding down the business of the
subsidiary through which the Ireland facility was operated.
Under the provision of SFAS No. 52, translation adjustments that result when a foreign entitys
financial statements are translated into a parent companys or an investors reporting currency are
separately reported in the parent companys other comprehensive income. Foreign currency
translation adjustments that are accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
income only when they are realized, if the investment in the foreign entity is sold or is
substantially or completely liquidated. Accordingly, the foreign currency translation adjustments
on the balance sheet of the Dublin, Ireland
69
subsidiary as of November 1, 2005 in the amount of approximately $769 were reclassified into the
process of disposing of the property presented below.
Income from discontinued operations for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 was as follows:

As the Company does not provide a separate cash flow statement for the discontinued operation, the
details of cash flow from the discontinued operation in Ireland is summarized as follows: the gross
proceeds were approximately $10,574, cost to sell was $218, and disbursement for capital gain tax
was $1,955, resulting in net proceeds of $8,401. The loss from discontinued operations of $450 was
deemed as cash outflow from operating activities of the discontinued operation; the net proceeds
provided by investing activities were $8,401 from the sale of the property; the cash used in
financing activities was the disbursement to pay off the outstanding equipment loan of $88. The
impact of this discontinued operation was immaterial, because the total revenues for fiscal years
June 30, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $600 and $500, respectively. The Company believes there
will not be any future significant cash flows from the discontinued operation, as the outstanding
accounts receivable and accounts payable are immaterial to the Companys financial position and
liquidity.
Before moving out of Ireland, the Company wired the remaining cash of approximately $7,800 to its
Singapore subsidiary, where the main operations are located. Subsequently, approximately $1,608
out of the $7,800 was wired to the U.S. corporate office for distribution of dividends to
shareholders, which were paid on January 25, 2006. In addition, $705 of the $7,800 was used for
bonuses to the directors and corporate officers paid in December 2005 and January 2006,
respectively.

20. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company operates principally in three industry segments: the testing service industry
(that performs structural and electronic tests of semiconductor devices), the designing and
manufacturing of equipment (that tests the structural integrity of integrated circuits and other
products), and the distribution of various products from other manufacturers in Singapore and
Southeast Asia. The following net sales were based on customer location rather than subsidiary
location.
The revenue allocated to individual countries is based on where the customers are located. 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.
All inter-segment sales are sales from the manufacturing segment to the testing and distribution
segment. Total inter-segment sales were $117 in fiscal 2006, $294 in
fiscal 2005, and $149 in
fiscal 2004. Corporate assets mainly consist of cash and prepaid expenses. Corporate expenses
mainly consist of salaries, insurance, professional expenses and directors fees.
