Trio-Tech Reports Second Quarter Results

New Trio-Tech Solar Business Receives $870,000 Photovoltaic Order

Van Nuys, CA -- February 16, 2010 -- Trio-Tech International (AMEX:TRT) announced today that revenue for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009 increased 6.6% to $6,191,000 from $5,805,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.  This growth reflected a 10.8% increase in revenue from semiconductor test equipment sales, combined with revenue from the Company's new business, PT SHI Indonesia, a Batam-based manufacturer, equipment fabricator and provider of project management services for the oil and gas industries, that more than offset a decrease in revenue from semiconductor test services for the period.

The net loss for this year's second quarter was $584,000, or $0.18 per share.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the net loss was $426,000, $0.13 per share.

"During this year's second quarter we consolidated all of our China testing operations into our Suzhou facility, which contributed to improved gross margin percentage in our testing operations despite the decrease in revenue in this segment.  For the Company as a whole, gross margin decreased compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 due to product mix in our semiconductor test equipment business and start-up expenses to support the launch of PT SHI and TT Solar, our new Singapore-based solar energy products and services business," said SW Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO.

Yong continued, "Our strategy to add new sources of revenue to supplement our core semiconductor testing equipment and services business is moving Trio-Tech in the right direction.  PT SHI Indonesia is beginning to generate sales and we believe that continued growth for the Indonesian oil and gas sector in the years to come presents considerable long-term growth potential for Trio-Tech.

"We also are pleased to announce that our new solar business, TTSolar, has received its first contract, an $870,000 order to supply photovoltaic products producing 500 kWp (kilowatt peak) power for public housing projects in Singapore.  This new contract represents an important milestone marking our participation in the rapidly growing market to supply green energy technologies for residential housing and industrial applications.  With the support of the Singapore government to encourage expanding investment in green technologies, we confidently look forward to TTSolar's future growth."

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, revenue increased 10.3% to $13,296,000 compared to $12,049,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2009.  The net loss for this year's first half was $1,135,000, or $0.35 per share.  This compares to a net loss for the first six months of the prior fiscal year of $1,145,000, or $0.35 per share.
