STOCK OPTIONS |
|
|
|
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. There was no income tax benefit related to
share-based compensation for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, 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 in the quarter ended September
30, 2006 includes 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 the three months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1. |
|
|
|
On December 2, 2005, the Board of Directors terminated these two share-based compensation
plans due to the cost of such compensation exceeding the benefits. There were no stock
options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
Assumptions |

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 the stock option
and based on the United States 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). |

As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $4 of accumulated unrecognized stock
compensation based on fair value on the grant date related to non-vested options granted
under the 1998 Plan. That cost was expected to be recognized during the weighted average
period of 1.5 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. 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. |
|
|
|
As of July 1, 2006, there were no stock options outstanding under the Directors plan, and
there were no options exercisable. Because the Directors plan was terminated in December
2005, there were no options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2006. |

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 26,885 shares at exercise prices ranging from $2.66 to $4.40 per
share were outstanding as of September 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 19,000 shares and are presented in the following table for
earnings per share calculation purposes. |
|
|
|
Stock options to purchase 257,050 shares at exercise prices ranging from $2.25 to $4.50 per
share were outstanding as of September 30, 2005. 40,000 options were excluded in the
computation of diluted EPS because the exercise price was greater than the average market
price of the common shares and therefore they 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: |

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT |
|
|
|
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan 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 will be effective as of the
beginning of our fiscal year 2008, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We expect that the
adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations
or financial position. |
|
|
|
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatement when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which will be effective for
the fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. The objective of SAB 108 is to eliminate
diversity in practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement
misstatements. SAB requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the
effects of the misstatements on the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated
balance sheet and related financial statement disclosures. |
|
|
|
According to SAB 108, both rollover and iron curtain approaches must be considered when
evaluating a misstatement for materiality. This is referred to as the dual approach. For
the companies that have previously evaluated misstatements under one, but not both, of these
methods, SAB 108 provides companies with a one-time option to record the cumulative effect
of their prior unadjusted misstatements in a manner similar to a change in accounting
principle in their annual financial statements during the effective time period if (i) the
cumulative amount of the unadjusted misstatements at the beginning of the adopting year
would have been material under the dual approach to their annual financial statements for
the prior year or (ii) the effect of correcting the unadjusted misstatements during the
adopting year would cause these annual financial statements to be materially misstated under
the dual approach. In accordance with SAB 108, companies are allowed, upon adoption, to
record the effects as a cumulativeeffect adjustment to the retained earnings. We are
currently assessing what impact, if any, that adoption of SAB 108 will have on our financial
position and results of operations. |

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS |
|
|
|
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We sell our
products and services to manufacturers in the semiconductor industry. We perform continuing
credit evaluations of our customers financial condition, 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 three months ended September 30, 2006 and the twelve months ended June 30,
2006 was adequate. |

DISCONTINED 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 restructuring plan to close the
testing operation in Dublin, Ireland. In November 2005, the Company completed the sale of
said property. In accordance with EITF 03-13, we presented the operation results from
Ireland as a discontinued operation. |

|
BUSINESS SEGMENTS |
|
|
|
The Company operates principally in three industry segments; the testing service industry
(which performs structural and electronic tests of semiconductor devices), the designing and
manufacturing of equipment (which equipment 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 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 were sales from the manufacturing segment to the testing and
distribution segments. Total inter-segment sales were $8 and $30 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Corporate assets mainly consisted of cash and
prepaid expenses. Corporate expenses mainly consisted of salaries, insurance, professional
expenses and directors fees. |

ITEM 2. |
|
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) |
The following should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes in Item I above and with the audited consolidated financial statements and
notes, and with the information under the headings Risk factors and Managements discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations in the most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
The discussions of Trio-Tech Internationals (the Company) business and activities set forth in
this Form 10-Q 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

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-Q, 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.
Overview
Founded in 1958, Trio-Tech International provides third-party semiconductor testing and burn-in
services primarily through its laboratories in Southeast Asia. The Company also designs,
manufactures and markets equipment and systems, and distributes semiconductor processing and
testing equipment manufactured by others. The Company operates in three business segments: Testing
Services, Manufacturing and Distribution.
We own and operate facilities that provide testing services for semiconductor devices and other
electronic components to meet the requirements of military, aerospace, industrial and commercial
applications. We currently operate five testing facilities, one in the United States and four in
Southeast Asia. The Company uses its own proprietary equipment for certain burn-in, centrifugal and
leak tests, and commercially available equipment for various other environmental tests. The
Company conducts the majority of its testing operations in Southeast Asia with facilities in
Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Our facilities require substantial investment to construct and
are largely fixed-costs assets once in operation. Because we own most of the testing capacity, a
significant portion of our operating costs is fixed. In general, these costs do not decline with
reductions in customer demand or the utilization of our testing capacity, and can adversely affect
profit margin as a result. Conversely, as product demand rises and factory utilization increases,
the fixed costs are spread over the increased output, which should improve profit margins.
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.
In the United States, our manufacturing segment focused on marketing used and refurbished
equipment, which some of our customers are more willing to purchase since it is less expensive than
new equipment.
16
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.
Our distribution segment operates primarily in Southeast Asia. This segment markets and supports
distribution of the Companys own manufactured equipment in addition to distributing complementary
products from other manufacturers that are used by the Companys customers and other semiconductor
and electronics manufacturers. One of the strategic business units also serves as a distributor of
electronic components to customers. In the first quarter ended September 30, 2006, we continued to
focus our marketing efforts on Asia. We believe that Asian markets are growing faster than other
markets due to the rapid expansion in the China market. We also believe that due to our strategic
position in the heart of Asia, we are in a good position to service customers in Southeast Asia.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $9,876, an increase of $4,171, or
73.1%, compared to $5,705 for the same quarter in the last fiscal year.
Net sales into and within China, the Southeast Asia regions, and other countries increased by
$4,240 (or 80.4%) for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $5,271 to $9,511, compared to
the same quarter last fiscal year. This overall increase was primarily due to an increase in sales
from the manufacturing segment. Net sales into and within the United States decreased by $69 (or
15.9%) for the three months ended September 30, 2006, down from $434 to $365, compared to the same
quarter last fiscal year, as we believe the customers in the United States are still conservative
in capital spending.
The increase in net sales can be discussed within three segments as follows:
Manufacturing Segment
Net sales in the manufacturing segment as a percentage of total net sales increased by 31.76% to
55.52% of total net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 23.76% of
total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The absolute amount of net sales increased by
$4,129 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1,355 to $5,484, compared to the first
quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in revenue generated by the manufacturing segment was due to
a continuing increase in demand in 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 need for more microprocessor chips in Southeast Asia. Such increase resulted
from a hike in demand from one of our major customers, which was a result of that customers
growing share in the market for microprocessor chips.
17
Testing Segment
Net sales in the testing segment as a percentage of total net sales were 39.47%, a drop of 22.67%
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 62.14% in the first quarter of fiscal
2006. The absolute amount of net sales in the testing segment actually increased by $353 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, from $3,545 to $3,898, compared to the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. The testing segment showed an improvement in revenue, compared to the same quarter
last fiscal year, 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
development in the electronics manufacturing industries in China. In addition, an increased demand
from one of our customers, with regard to 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 taking place in 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.
Distribution Segment
The distribution segment accounted for 5.01% of total net sales in the first quarter of fiscal
2007, a decrease of 9.09% compared to 14.10% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The
absolute amount of net sales decreased by $311 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from
$805 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to $494 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The drop in
revenue was due to lower demand for back-end products such as Vibration equipment and bubble
testers in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, and a saturation of equipment and electronic
components in the current market.
Uncertainties and Remedies
There are several influencing factors which create uncertainties when forecasting performance, such
as the ever-changing nature of technology, specific requirements from the customer, decline in
demand for certain types of burn-in devices or equipment, and other similar factors. One of these
factors is the highly competitive nature of the semiconductor industry. Another is that some
customers are unable to provide a forecast of the products required in the upcoming weeks; hence it
is difficult to plan for the resources needed to meet these customers requirements due to short
lead time and last minute order confirmation. This will normally result in a lower margin for these
products, as it is more expensive to purchase materials in a short time frame. However, the
Company has taken action to protect itself and has formulated plans for dealing with these
unpredictable factors. For example, in order to meet customers demands upon short notice, the
Company maintains higher inventories, but continues to work closely with its customers to avoid
stock piling. We continue to cut costs by upgrading some of our existing facilities to cater to
the changing requirements of customers and by maintaining a lean headcount, while still keeping
quality high so as to sell new products at a competitive price. We have also been improving
customer service from staff by keeping them up to date on the newest technology and stressing the
importance of understanding and meeting the stringent requirements of our customers. Finally, the
Company is exploring new markets and products, looking for new customers, and upgrading and
improving burn-in technology while at the same time searching for improved testing methods of
higher technology chips.

Overall Gross Margin
Overall gross margin decreased by 6.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 32.0% in
the first quarter of last year to 25.2%, primarily due to the drop in average selling prices in our
testing segment and increased sales of low margin products in the distribution segment. In terms of
dollar value, the overall gross margin increased by $667 for the three months ended September 30,
2006 from $1,824 to $2,491, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year, as a result of the
better sales performance by the Singapore manufacturing segment.
Gross profit margin in the manufacturing segment increased from 18.4% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006 to 20.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. In absolute amounts, gross profits
increased by $841 to $1,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $249 for the three
months ended September 30, 2005. Such an increase was mainly attributable to a hike in revenue from
$1,355 for the first quarter of 2006 to $5,484 for the first quarter of 2007.
Gross profit margin in the testing segment decreased by 4.7% for the three months ended September
30, 2006, from 38.3% to 33.6%, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year, and this was
primarily due to a drop in the average selling price of services. Our customers changed their
demands and requirements, which resulted in a lower average unit selling price for many of our
products. However, we expect that the effect of such trend may be offset in the future by the
increase in burn-in services demanded for the faster microprocessor chips. Gross profits in the
testing segment were $1,309 and $1,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
Gross profit margin in the distribution segment dropped by 10.6% for this quarter, from 26.9% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to 16.3%, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. Sales in
this quarter were mainly from low margin back-end products, such as Vibration equipment, chambers
and wafer fabricators. Gross profits were $80 and $216 for the three months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.

General and administrative expenses increased by $102 (or 7.91%) from $1,289 to $1,391 for the
three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year. This was due
to the increase in payroll and related expenses as a result of the rise in headcount in the
Singapore operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Selling expenses decreased by $23 (or
8.1%) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $285 to $262, compared to same quarter
last fiscal year, mainly due to a decrease in commission expenses as a result of fewer
commissionable sales in the distribution segment.
Research and development costs remained constant compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $15 with respect
to the obsolescence of certain machinery and equipment in the Singapore testing operation, as such
machinery and equipment was no longer suitable for performing testing services for the high-speed
microprocessor chips.
Income from operations
Income from operations increased by $603 (or 276.6%) from $218 to $821 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, mainly due to an increase in the net sales in the manufacturing segment and
testing segment as the result of increased market demand.

Interest expense decreased by $6 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $35 to $29 in

Other income increased by $7 (or 23.3%) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $30 to
$37, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year, primarily due to the increase in interest
income generated from short-term deposits and the increase in rental income, though offset by
currency transaction loss. Interest income was $37 for the three months ended September 30, 2006
and was $19 higher than the interest income generated in the same quarter last fiscal year due to
higher working capital generated from the collection of accounts receivables. Currency transaction
loss increased by $25 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from $2 to $27, compared to
the same quarter last fiscal year. This was attributable to the weakening of the U.S. dollar
against foreign currency in U.S. denominated assets.
Income Tax
Income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $26, a decrease of $47 (or
64.4%) compared to the income tax provision of $73 for the same quarter last fiscal year. Income
tax provision of $99 for this quarter was related to a higher tax provision provided for the
increased income generated from the Singapore operations, and $41 for the finalization of a
corporate income tax assessment conducted by the Singapore tax authority for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2001, 2002, and 2003, but offset by the reversal of a deferred tax liability of $114 in
the Singapore operations. The aggregate deferred tax liability of $114 was recorded for possible
future tax liability regarding the allocation of corporate expenses from the United States to the
Singapore operations during fiscal 2000 and 2001, respectively. The amount was reversed as the
result of the finalization of a corporate income tax assessment conducted by the Singapore tax
authority, as it determined that no further income taxes were due by our Singapore subsidiary for
these two fiscal years. This meant that allocated corporate expense deduction was allowed for
fiscal 2000 and 2001, respectively.
Minority Interest
As of September 30, 2006, we held a 55% interest in Trio Tech Malaysia. In the first quarter of
fiscal 2007, minority interest in the net income of subsidiaries was $47, an increase of $71, or
294.8%, compared to a minority interest in the net loss of $24 for the same quarter of fiscal 2006.
The increase in the minority interest was attributable to the improvement in the net income
generated from the Malaysia testing operation and an increase in translation gain as the result of
an increase in the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Singapore dollars.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
The loss from discontinued operations of $378 for the three months ended September 30, 2005
represented restructuring costs incurred in Ireland. The Company had no similar loss for the
quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Net Income
Net income was $756 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, representing an increase of $970 over a
net loss of $214 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The main factor that contributed to
the increase was the rise in net sales in the manufacturing segment and testing segment.
Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 increased by $0.18, from $0.05 to $0.23 per share, compared to the same quarter
last fiscal year. There was no income or loss from discontinued operations for the first quarter of
fiscal 2007. Basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to discontinued operations for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 were a loss of $0.13 per share.

Income from operations in the manufacturing segment increased by $616 to $441 for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, from a loss of $175 in the same quarter last fiscal year. The
improvement in operating profit was attributable to the $853 increase in gross profit, but offset
by an increase in operating expenses of $237. Operating expenses for the manufacturing segment were
$661 and $424 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in
operating expenses was mainly attributable to an increase in payroll and related expenses as a
result of the rise in headcount in the Singapore operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

Income from the testing segment decreased by $56 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, to
$402 from $458 in the same quarter last fiscal year. The decrease in operating income was
attributable to the decrease in gross profit of $50 and the increase in operating expenses of $6.
The decrease in the gross profit was mainly due to the drop in the average selling price of testing
services. Operating expenses were $907 and $901 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively. This jump in operating expenses was mainly due to an increase in payroll and
related expenses as a result of the rise in headcount in the Singapore operations in the first
quarter of fiscal 2007.

operating loss in this quarter was attributable to a decrease in gross profit of $136, but offset
with a decrease in operating expenses of $100. Operating expenses were $117 and $217 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Such a reduction in operating expenses was
mainly attributable to lower commission expenses as the result of a decrease in commissionable
sales.

Corporate operating income increased by $79 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from an
operating loss of $64 to an operating income of $15, compared to the same quarter last fiscal year.
The improvement in corporate income was attributable to an increase in the fee imposed on all the
subsidiaries on a fixed percentage of revenue as the result of increased revenue from subsidiaries.
Financial Condition
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, total assets increased $1,303 from $29,384 at
June 30, 2006 to $30,687 at September 30, 2006. The majority of the increase was in cash, prepaid
expenses, inventory and other assets, but offset by a decrease in accounts receivables, and
property, plants and equipments.
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007, total cash and short-term deposits were $10,932, an
increase of $542 from fiscal year-end 2006. The increase was primarily due to an improvement in the
collections of the accounts receivables and increased sales.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were $244,
an increase of $74 from the fiscal year-end 2006, primarily due to increased prepayment of
insurance premiums in the Singapore operations.
Inventories were $3,441 at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This was an increase of
$994 from the fiscal year-end 2006, as we built inventory to support expected product shipments in
the second quarter of the year. The turnover of inventory was 36 days at the end of the first
quarter of fiscal 2007 compared with 35 days at fiscal year-end 2006.
Other assets were $688, an increase of $519 from fiscal year-end 2006, primarily due to advances
paid for renovation of new units and facilities for the China operations.
Accounts
receivables at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased $582 from fiscal
year-end 2006, primarily due to improvement in the overall collections in the Singapore operations.
The total sales from all three segments for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $9,931,
an increase of $4,226 or 74.1%, compared to the total sales of $5,705 for the same quarter last
fiscal year. The accounts receivables turnover was 76 days at the end of the first quarter of
fiscal 2007 compared with 80 days at fiscal year-end 2006.
Capital expenditures were $305 for the first three months of fiscal 2007, compared with $131 for
the first three months of fiscal 2006. The increase in capital expenditures was mainly due to
higher purchases of machinery and equipment during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 in the
Singapore Testing operation to meet customers requirements.
Depreciation was $427 for the first three months of fiscal 2007, compared with $368 for the first
three months of fiscal 2006. The increase in depreciation expenses was mainly due to the increase
in property, plant and equipment in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of
2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2007 was $790, an
increase of $227, or 40.3%, compared to a net cash inflow of $563 in the same period last fiscal
year. Higher levels of cash flows were primarily due to the swing in net income from a loss of
$214 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 to an income of $756 during the first quarter of fiscal
2007. The increase in net income mainly resulted from higher revenues generated in the
manufacturing segment and from testing services. The increase in cash was offset by increased
working capital requirements, particularly for inventory and other assets.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2,306 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, compared
to the net cash used by investing activities of $399 in the first quarter of fiscal 2006,
reflecting an increase of $2,705 in cash flow. In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the proceeds
from maturing short-term deposits of $6,657 were used for capital expenditures of $274. In the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, the proceeds from maturing short-term deposits of $382 were not
adequate to cover the higher investments in short-term deposits of $650 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2006, thereby incurring a negative cash flow.
22
Net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $29, an increase of
$5, compared to the net cash used by financing activities of $24 during the first quarter of fiscal
2006. The increase was due mainly to the higher proceeds from lines of credit of $247 during the
first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the net repayment of $51 for lines of credits incurred in
the first quarter of fiscal 2006. However, this was offset by (i) a repayment of $287 of debt and
capital leases made in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to repayments of $236 in the same
period of fiscal 2006, (ii) a decrease of $193 in the proceeds from debt and capital leases, and
(iii) a decrease of $59 in cash proceeds from stock options exercised.
We believe we have the necessary financial resources to meet our projected cash requirements for at
least the next twelve months.
Corporate Guarantee Arrangement
The Company provides a corporate guarantee of approximately $1,576 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.
Critical Accounting Estimates & Policies
There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting polices disclosed in
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in
the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that a reclassification on deferred tax
liability was made on the balance sheet at June 30, 2006 in order to conform to our current
presentation.
We prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements require
the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management periodically
evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on
historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions
or conditions.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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.
As of September 30, 2006, the outstanding aggregate principal balance on these loans, capital
leases and lines of credit was approximately $1,950. The interest rates on our loans and lines of
credit range from 2.98% to 7.50% per annum. These interest rates are subject to change and we
cannot predict an increase or decrease in rates, if any.

The outstanding aggregate principal balance on these loans, capital leases and lines of credit were
mainly utilized by the Testing segment for investments in facilities and equipment to meet
customers requirement. One of the Singapore operations used 55.2% of such credit facility as of
September 30, 2006. Nevertheless, the Singapore operation was able to meet repayment of loans and
capital obligation, as the majority of the overall net sales were contributed from the operation.
The Thailand operation utilized term loans to finance the extension of a building in Bangkok and it
will be able to meet its obligations thereunder as the operation has been generating cash for the
past few years.
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, revenues 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 an increase of $26
and $21 to shareholders equity for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was carried out by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30,
2006, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and
procedures were effective. During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in
the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are
reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Not applicable
Item 1A. Risk Factors
CERTAIN RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR FUTURE RESULTS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, shareholders should carefully
consider the factors discussed in Item 1A Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 2006, which factors could materially affect our business, financial
condition and/or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are
not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently
known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect
our business, financial condition and/or operating results. In addition to the risks so
noted, we also note as follows:
Possible dilutive effect of outstanding options
As of September 30, 2006, there were 26,885 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The outstanding options are currently
exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $2.66 to $4.40 per share. We anticipate that
the trading price of our common stock at the time of exercise of any such outstanding
options will exceed the exercise price under those options. Thus such exercise will have a
dilutive effect on our shareholders.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Malaysian and Singapore regulations prohibit the payment of dividends if the Company does
not have sufficient retained earnings and tax credit. In addition, the payment of dividends
can only be made after making deductions for income tax pursuant to the regulations.
Furthermore, the cash movements from the Companys 55% owned Malaysian subsidiary to
overseas are restricted and must be authorized by the Central Bank of Malaysia. California
law also prohibits the payment of dividends if the Company does not have sufficient retained
earnings or cannot meet certain asset to liability ratios.
