Trio-Tech Third Quarter Revenue Nearly Triples to $10.8 Million

Van Nuys, CA -- May 17, 2010 -- Driven by higher sales in each of the company's businesses, Trio-Tech International (AMEX:TRT) announced today that revenue for the third quarter ended March 31, 2010 increased 195% to $10,771,000 compared to $3,651,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and 74% compared to $6,190,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The net loss from continuing operations attributable to Trio-Tech International's common shareholders for this year's third quarter was $142,000, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of $138,000, or $0.04 per share, and narrowed from the net loss for this year's second quarter of $557,000, or $0.17 per share.

Net sales in the company's manufacturing segment increased more than fourfold to $7,384,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $1,673,000 for the same period of the prior year, reflecting sharply higher sales of semiconductor test equipment products, as well as revenue of $848,000 from TT Solar, the company's new Singapore-based solar energy products and services business. "We believe that demand for our semiconductor test equipment continued to benefit from the recovery of the global semiconductor market that became evident late last year. Results also benefited from the strong performance of TT Solar in its first full quarter of operations and, in view of the Singapore government's commitment to expanding investment in green technologies, we are hopeful about TT Solar's future growth," said SW Yong, Trio-Tech's CEO.

Revenue from the testing segment increased to $2,854,000 for this year's third quarter compared to $1,842,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, as an increase in capacity at the company's facility in Malaysia enabled it to accept more orders from a major customer. Revenue at PT SHI Indonesia, a Batam-based manufacturer, equipment fabricator and provider of project management services for the oil and gas industries which Trio-Tech acquired earlier this fiscal year, was $101,000 for this year's third quarter.

Overall gross margin increased to $2,051,000, or 19% of revenue, for this year's third quarter compared to $809,000, or 22% of revenue, for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, and $960,000, or 16% of revenue for the second quarter of 2010. "The gains in testing segment revenue and gross margin contributed significantly to the increase in overall gross margin. This increase was partially offset by low margins in our solar and fabrication businesses, as we compete to gain share in these new markets. This was the anticipated short-term consequence of our strategy to grow our company for the long term. We expect the profitability of our new businesses to improve over time," Yong said.

"Increased volume in our core semiconductor testing equipment and services businesses is a welcome development, and we are encouraged by the positive trends we see in the electronics industry worldwide. At the same time, our strategy to add new sources of revenue is beginning to generate the incremental growth we anticipated. We believe that PT SHI Indonesia is well positioned to benefit from growth in the Indonesian oil and gas industry and that TT Solar gives us a meaningful toe-hold in the emerging green energy business in Singapore," Yong said.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, revenue increased 54% to $24,054,000 compared to $15,667,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2009. The net loss from continuing operations for this year's first nine months was $1,231,000, or $0.38 per share. This compares to a net loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 of $843,000, or $0.27 per share.

At March 31, 2010, Trio-Tech reported cash and cash equivalents, restricted term deposits and short-term deposits of $8,939,000 ($2.77 per outstanding share), working capital of $7,198,000, and shareholders' equity of $19,168,000 ($5.94 per outstanding share). At June 30, 2009, cash and cash equivalents, restricted term deposits and short-term deposits were $11,468,000 ($3.55 per outstanding share), working capital was $9,302,000, and shareholders' equity was $19,864,000 ($6.16 per outstanding share).
