FORWARD-LOOKINGFORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

           The discussions of Trio-Tech International’s (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 reflectedrefl ected in any forward-looking statements 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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; changes in U.S. and global financial and equity markets, including market disruptions and significant interest rate fluctuations; and other economic, financialfinanci al and regulatory factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company believes thatWe believe customers have tightened and will continue to tighten their spending, resulting in a decline in the demand for electronic products and semiconductor equipment. 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.

Unless otherwise required by law, the Company undertakeswe undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, or the occurrence of unanticipated events. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences include those discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

New Accounting Policy:

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance ASC 810, Consolidation, regarding noncontrolling interests (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”)) issued by the FASB related to the accounting for noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the controlling company’s balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue RecognitionThe CompanyWe adopted the following revenue recognition policy for itsour fabrication service segment which was acquiredset up in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

In the fabrication services segment, revenue is recognized from long-term, fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, (1) Input measures - measured by multiplying the estimated total contract value by the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (2) Output measures – measured based on completion on results achieved - units produced or units delivered. The Company makes significant estimates involving its usage of percentage-of-completion accounting to recognize contract revenues. The Company periodically reviews contracts in process for estimates-to-completion, and revises estimated gross profit accordingly. While the Company believes its estimated gross profit on contracts in process is reasonable, unforeseen events and changes in circumstances can take place in a subsequent accounting period that may cause the Company to revise its estimated gross profit on one or more of its contracts in process. Accordingly, the actualultimate gross profit realized upon completion of such contracts can vary significantly from estimated amounts between accounting periods.
 
Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to the previous year’s financial statements to conform to current year presentation, with no effect on previously reported net income.

2.  ACQUISITION OF PT SHI INDONESIA, BATAM,  INDONESIA
 
On July 1, 2009, SHI International Pte., Ltd., a 55% owned subsidiarysubsdiary of the Company, consummated the acquisition of a 100% interest in PT SHI Indonesia, pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 2009. PT SHI Indonesia is an Indonesia–based enterprise providing fabrication of large and complex structures, such as FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading) which is a converted or custom-built ship-shaped floater, employed to process oil and gas and for temporary storage of the oil prior to transshipment, and related services for the offshore oil and gas industries. The Company’s objective for acquiring this business was to diversify its business, reduce the risk associated with sole industry focus, and enhance the Company’s future growth opportunities. There were no operating activities in PT SHI Indonesia for the ninethree months ended March 31, 2010.September 30, 2008. Beginning on July 1, 2009, the operating results of this subsidiary were included in the consolidated statements of the Company for the ninethree months ended March 31, 2010.September 30, 2009. Fabrication services are included in the Company’s new segment “fabrication services”. This acquisition transaction was not considered significant to the Company.

 
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, dated April 7, 2009 the purchase price was approximately $113, consisting of $10 in cash and $103 in a contingent note payable which matures in two years.payables.  In accordance with ASC Top 805, Business Combinations, the Company allocated the purchase price to the tangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values. The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions determined by management.  Management determined that the fair value attributable to non-controlling was nil due to the negative net asset value and the control premium associated with the Company’s majority ownership. Therefore, 100% of the goodwill was allocated to the majority shareholder, the Company. The total purchasepurc hase price was allocated as follows (in thousands):

3.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), Subsequent Events, SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements woul d not have been significant.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2009-15 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting  Standards Codification And the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, on June 29, 2009 and, in doing so, authorized the Codification as the sole source for authoritative U.S. GAAP. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September, 15, 2009. SFAS 168 supersedes all accounting standards for U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. SFAS No. 168 replaces No. 162 to establish a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standard Codification.
In July 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS. 168"). Statement No. 168 supersedes Statement No. 162 issued in May 2008. Statement No. 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not inc luded in the Codification will become non-authoritative.   This Statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, including the period covered by this report. The adoption of Statement No.168 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This standard changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. The statement becomes effective as to the Company on December 31, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement may have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition and does not expec t the impact, if any, to be material.

Effective June 30, 2009, the Company adopted a new accounting standard included in ASC  855 Subsequent Events that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This new accounting standard provides guidance on the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or tran sactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluated subsequent events through November 17, 2009, the date the accompanying financial statements were issued.

 
3.NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010,August 2009, the FASB issued ASUthe FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, 2009-05 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements- Overall, to provide amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that require new disclosures for transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and for activity in Level 3the fair value measurements.

In OctoberAugust 2009, the FASB approvedissued an Update to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures 2009-05 Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, to provide guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities under ASC 820. This update clarifies the fair value measurements for issuance ASC Subtopic No. 605-25, Revenue Recognition Multiple-Element Arrangements, (“ASC 605-25”). ASC 605-25 provides principles for allocation of consideration among its multiple-elements, allowing more flexibilitya liability in identifyingan active market and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement.

In August 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to provide clarification on measuring liabilities at fair value when a quoted price in an active market is not available. This guidance became effective as to the Company on October 1, 2009 and significantly expands related disclosure requirements. ASC 605-25 is effectivenot expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2009 the New FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-08 issued in Earnings Per Share (amendments to Section 260-10-S99). This update includes technical corrections to Topic 260-10-S99 Earnings Per Share, based on EITF Topic D-53, “Computation of Earnings Per Share for a prospective basisPeriod that includes redemption or an induced conversion of a portion of a class of preferred stock” and EITF Topic D-42, “The effect of the calculation of Earnings Per Share for revenue arrangements entered intothe redemption or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.

5.     STOCK OPTIONS

As of March 31, 2010,September 30, 2009, there were no outstanding options to purchase Common Stock which had been granted pursuant to the 1998 Employee Option Plan, which plan was terminated on December 2, 2005 by the Company’s Board of Directors.

On September 24, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted the 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan and the 2007 Directors Equity Incentive Plan, which were approved by the shareholders on December 3, 2007.  The 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan provides for awards of up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to employees, consultants and advisors.  The 2007 Directors Equity Incentive Plan provides for awards of up to 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the members of the Board of Directors in the form of non-qualified options and restricted stock. These two plans are administered by the Board, which also establishes the terms of the awards.

Assumptions

The fair value for these awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions, assuming no expected dividends:       

  NineThree Months Ended  Year Ended

Expected life (years)
2.00 - 3.25
2.00 - 3.25 
              
The expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  The observation is made on a weekly basis.  The observation period covered is consistent with the expected life of options.  The expected term of options granted to employees has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method as prescribed by SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment, as amended by SAB No. 110 on January 1, 2008, which, among other provisions, allowed companies without access to adequate historical data about employee exercise behavior to use a simplified approach for estimating the expected term of a "plain vanilla" option grant.  The simplified rule for estimating the expected term of such an option was the average of the time to vesting and the full term of the option. The risk-free rate is consistent with the expected terms of the stock options and is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

2007 Employee Stock Option Plan

The Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Employee Plan”), which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock options to its employees of up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock.  Under the 2007 Employee Plan, all options must be granted with an exercise price of not less than “fair market value” as of the grant date and the options granted should be exercisable within a maximum of ten years after the date of grant, or such lesser period of time as is set forth in the stock option agreements. The options may be exercisable (a) immediately as of the effective date of the stock option agreement granting the option, or (b) in accordance with a schedule related to the date of the grant of the option, the date of first employment, or such other date as may be set by the Compensation Committee.  Generally, options granted under the 2007 Employee Plan are exercisable within five years after the date of grant, and vest over the period as follows: 25% vesting on the grant date and the remaining balance vesting in equal installments on the next three succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.  The share-based compensation will be recognized in terms of the grade method over the vesting period. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2007 Employee Plan).

 
The Company did not grant any options pursuant to the 2007 Employee Plan during the nine months ended March 31,first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expenses of $127$49 in the ninethree months ended March 31, 2010September 30, 2009 under the 2007 Employee Plan.  The balance of unamortized stock-based compensation of $105$197 based on fair value on the grant date related to options granted under the 2007 Employee Plan is expected to be recognized over a period of twothree years.

During the nine months ended March 31,first quarter of fiscal 2009, pursuant to the 2007 Employee Plan, 50,000 shares of stock options were granted to certain officers and employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined under the 2007 Employee Plan in conformity with Regulation 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) at the date of grant.  These options vest over the period as follows: 25% vesting on the grant date, and the balance vesting in equal installments on the next three succeeding anniversaries of the grant date.  The fair market value of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options granted was approximately $136 based on the fair value of $2.71 per share determined by using the Black Scholes option pricing model.mode l.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $138$75 in the nine months ended March 31,first quarter of fiscal 2009 under the 2007 Employee Plan.  Unamortized stock-based compensation of $105$172 based on fair value on the grant date related to options granted under the 2007 Employee Plan iswas expected to be recognized over a period of three years.

As of March 31, 2010,September 30, 2009, there were vested employee stock options covering a total of 98,62592,250 shares of Common Stock. The weighted-average exercise price was $4.73$4.18 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 3.524.03 years. The total intrinsic value of vested employee stock options during the nine month periodthree months ended March 31, 2010September 30, 2009 was $231.$46.

Options to purchase 474,000483,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.72 to $9.57 per share as of March 31, 2010September 30, 2009 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

13.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 Fair Value Measurements).  ASC 820 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities.  Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts its business.  ASC 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.  In support of this principle, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy.  Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

The following table provides a summary of the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010:September 30, 2009:

As noted above, the fair value of the Company’s term deposits is determined using quoted market prices in active markets. Since the Company’s term deposits are fixed rate deposits, there is an active, readily tradable market value based on quoted prices. The CompanyWe based itsour estimates on such prices (Level 1 pricing) as of March 31, 2010,September 30, 2009, or the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions occur in significant frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an on-going basis. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, the valuation of these term deposits does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

16.   DISCONTINUED OPERATION AND CORRESPONDING RESTRUCTURING PLAN

The Company’s Shanghai 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 January 2010, the Company established a restructuring plan to close the Testing operation in Shanghai, China.  Based on the restructuring plan and in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statement Discontinued Operations, the Company presented the operation results from Shanghai as a discontinued operation as the Company believed that no continued cash flow would be generated by the disposed component (Shanghai subsidiary) and that the Company would have no significant continuing involvement in the operation of the discontinued component. In accordance with the restructuring plan, the Company would pay off the outstanding balance of accounts payable of $37 and collect accounts receivable of $23 as much as it could before moving out of Shanghai.

During the process of winding down the Company’s operation in Shanghai, China, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $23 and one-time employment termination benefits of approximately $5 (of which $5 was paid in the quarter ended March 2010) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. The Company anticipates that it may incur additional costs and expenses in winding up the business of the subsidiary through which the China facility was operated.

Under the provision of ASC 830 translation adjustments that result when a foreign entity’s financial statements are translated into a parent company’s or an investor’s reporting currency are separately reported in the parent company’s 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.  The foreign currency translation adjustments on the balance sheet of the Shanghai, China subsidiary as of  March 31, 2010 was insignificant.

TRIO-TECH INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S 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 “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Founded in 1958, Trio-Tech International primarily 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.  Trio-Tech International has historically operated in three distinct segments: Testing Services, Manufacturing and Distribution.  In June 2007, Trio-Tech International Pte., Ltd., established a subsidiary Trio-Tech (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., (“TTCQ”) in Chongqing, China to develop certain real estatees tate projects. As the Company'sour investment in the real estate business in Chongqing, China exceeded more than 10% of itsour combined assets of all operating segments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, the Companywe reported itsour investment in China as a separate Real Estate Segment to be in compliance and in accordance with the ASC Topic 280 Segments Reporting. In April 2009, Trio-Tech International Pte., Ltd., set up a new entity, SHI International Pte., Ltd., ("SHI"), in which Trio-Tech International Pte., Ltd., holds 55% of the ownership interest. SubsequentlyIn the same month, SHI acquired 100% interest in PT SHI Indonesia, a company in Batam, Indonesia providing fabrication services to the oil and gas industries. The Company has reported this business as a fifth segment, as the nature of these business activities is different from itsour other business segments.

Geographically, the Company operates in the U.S., Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China and Indonesia.  Its major operation activities are conducted in itsour Singapore and Malaysia operations.  The Company’s customers for semi-conductor related activities are mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia and they are either semiconductor chip manufacturers or testing facilities that purchase itsour testing equipment.
 
In the context of a challenging economic environment, in order to achieve our goal of attaining a lower breakeven point, we undertook several cost reduction measures. Since the first quarter of fiscal 2009 ending September 30, 2008, the Company reduced its headcount by approximately 48 employees.  Also, on February 27, 2008, our Chief Executive Office, Chief Financial Officer and directors voluntarily decreased their base salary to 50% of the base salary agreed to in July 2007.  From the second quarter of 2009 ending December 31, 2008, the Company implemented four-day work weeks for all the employees in the Singapore operation, which reduced its employee compensation by approximately 20%.

Testing

The Company provides third-party semiconductor testing and burn-in services primarily through itsour laboratories in Southeast Asia.  

The Company’sRecently, there has been widespread concern over the instability of the financial markets and their influence on the global economy. Management believes that, as a result of the credit market crisis and other macro-economic challenges currently affecting the global economy, the orders from our customers in our testing operation in Shanghai, China suffered continued operating losses in the past three fiscal years and the cash flowoperations was minimal for the past three years.  In January 2010, the Company closed the testing operation in Shanghai, China.reduced.

The Company plans to expand its market share in the semiconductor industry in Malaysia.industry. In the first quarter of 2010,three months ended September 30, 2009, the Malaysian subsidiary acquired the leased property in Malaysia in an effort to assure the prospects of long term support for itsour customers in Malaysia. The operation also increased its burn-in capacity with an additional investment in equipment. The capital expenditure was approximately $4.9 million in this operation for the nine month ended March 31, 2010. In the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the revenue from its testing segment increased by $469, or 6.1%  to $8,104 compared to $7,635 for the same period of last fiscal year.  The Company’sIts Suzhou operation is in the process of transforming from a production based operation to an engineering service based operation.

Manufacturing

The Company’sCompany 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, it 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, theits manufacturing segment focused on marketing used and refurbished equipment, which some of its customers are more willing to purchase since refurbished equipmentit is less expensive than new equipment.

Due to the competitive environment in the manufacturing segment, the Company anticipateswe anticipate that the Company will continue to implement itsour cost reduction plan by outsourcing a portion of itsour manufacturing process to outside suppliers, such as electrical and mechanical fabrication houses, and seek competitively priced materials.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, revenue from its manufacturing segment increased by $5,711, or $341.4%  to $7,384 compared to $1,673 for the same period of last fiscal year. This significant increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of revenue from this segment’s major customer and an increase of approximately $848 in revenue from solar business.

The Company began providing installation and support for solar products in fiscal 2010. The revenue in the solar business depends on the availability of projects and its ability to secure the projects, which is dependant on various factors, such as tender, quotation and obtaining contract, availability of stock from suppliers and other similar factors. Revenue from its solar project based business is not stable as we are new in this business and there is uncertainty.  

The Company believes that global spending on semiconductor manufacturing equipment is recovering in 2010 compared to 2009. According to a report from market research firm Isuppli, global spending on semiconductor manufacturing equipment is expected to rise by 46.8% in 2010 compared to 2009, bringing an end to three consecutive years of decline.

Distribution

The Company’s distribution segment operates primarily in Southeast Asia.  This segment markets and supports distribution of itsour own manufactured equipment in addition to distributing complementary products supplied by other manufacturers that are used by itsour customers and other semiconductor and electronics manufacturers.  ManagementIt expanded the distribution business to include a strategic business unit mainly to serve as a distributor of electronic components to customers.  It is the strategy of management to focus on the sales of our own manufactured products. Managment believes this will help us to reduce itsour exposure to multiple risks arising from being a mere distributor of manufactured products from others.others.

Fabrication  Services
 
On July 1, 2009, SHI International Pte. Ltd., LTD., a 55% owned subsidiary of the Company, consummatedconsumated the acquisitionaquisition of a 100% interest in PT SHI Indonesia for the purchase price of $225$113 pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 2009.  PT SHI Indonesia is an Indonesia–based enterprise providing fabrication of large and complex structures, such as FPSO (Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading), which is a converted or custom-built ship-shaped floater, employed to process oil and gas and for temporary storage of the oil prior to transshipment, and related services for the offshore oil and gas industries.  The Comany'sOur objective for acquiring this business was to diversify itsour business, reduce the risk associated with sole industry focus, and enhance the Company’s future growth opportunities.
 
Indonesia is one of the largest oil and gas producers in Southeast Asia, as well as a major exporter of liquefied natural gas in Asia. It has sufficient oil and gas reserves available for exploration and production for several years to come.  As such, management is of the view that Indonesia will offer great potential for a growth in demand for equipment and machinery for the oil and gas industries. Management believes that the demand for oil and gas has been increasing steadily for the past few years, thereby generating an increase in investments in the oil and gas industries to discover and explore new production locations to meet such demand. Management believes that this may lead to an increase in capital spending for oil and gas exploration and development,developmen t, as well as capital spending on technology advances to improve the success rate in oil and gas discovery at lower costs.  In addition, as offshore oil and gas exploration moves into more challenging deep waters and locations where infrastructure is lacking, larger and more complex equipment may be needed to support the production facility. New operating structures such as Floating Production Storage and Offloading ("FPSO") that we are currently building are increasingly being considered to replace the conventional fixed offshore platforms.

In the three months ended March 31, 2010,September 30, 2009, this subsidiary generated revenue of $101,$504, and an operating loss of $295$272, among which includes $91 in$52 was for depreciation expenses. Management is exploring new business opportunities to optimize the capacity utilization of this facility, which would assist in enabling the segment to be profitable.

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 decline in demand for testing services and fabrication services and other similar factors.  Based on a number of economic indicators, it appears that growth in global economic activity has slowed substantially. At the present time, the rate at which the global economy will slow has become increasingly uncertain. A continued slowing of global economic growth, and, in particular, in the United States, will likely have a negative impact on itsour growth and results of operations. One factor that influences uncertaintyfactors is the highlyhi ghly 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 certain actions and formulated certain plans to deal with and to help mitigate these unpredictable factors.  For example, in order to meet manufacturing customers’ demands upon short notice, the Company maintains higher inventories, but continues to work closely with its customers to avoid stock piling.  The Company continuesWe continue to cut costs by upgrading some of itsour existing facilities to cater to the changing requirements of customers and by maintaining a lean headcount, while still keepingkeep ing quality high so as to sell new products at a competitive price. The Company hasWe have also been improving customer service from staff by keeping itsour staff up to date on the newest technology and stressing the importance of understanding and meeting the stringent requirements of itsour 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.

In the fabrication services segment, revenue is recognized from long-term, fixed-price contracts using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, (1) Input measuresinput method - measured by multiplying the estimated total contract value by the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the estimated total contract costs (2) Output measuresoutput methodmeasuredwhere the percentage of completion can be established directly based on completion on results achieved - units produced or units delivered.the ouptut. The Company makes significant estimates involving its usage of percentage-of-completion accounting to recognize contract revenues. The Company periodically reviews contracts in process for estimates-to-completion, and revises estimated gross profit accordingly. While the Company believes its estimated gross profit on contracts in process is reasonable, unforeseen events and changes in circumstances can take placep lace in a subsequent accounting period that may cause the Company to revise its estimated gross profit on one or more of its contracts in process. Accordingly, the actualultimate gross profit realized upon completion of such contracts can vary significantly from estimated amounts between accounting periods.periods.

The Company preparesWe prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires 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.
