GENERAL

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of the enclosed Proxy on behalf of the Board of Directors of Trio-Tech International, a California corporation (“Trio-Tech” or the “Company”), for use at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Tuesday, December 3, 2002 and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed Proxy are intended to be mailed to shareholders on or about November 8, 2002.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

The close of business on October 18, 2002 has been fixed as the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of that date, there were 2,927,596 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) outstanding and entitled to vote, the holders of which are entitled to one vote per share.

VOTING GENERALLY

In the election of directors, a shareholder may cumulate his votes for one or more candidates, but only if each such candidate’s name has been placed in nomination prior to the voting and the shareholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of his intention to cumulate his votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for the candidates in nomination. If the voting for directors is conducted by cumulative voting, each share will be entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected. These votes may be cast for a single candidate or may be distributed among two or more candidates in such proportions as the shareholder thinks fit. The five candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstensions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but with respect to the election of directors, any votes against a candidate or withheld from voting (whether by abstention, broker non-votes or otherwise) will not be counted and will have no legal effect on the vote. Discretionary authority to cumulate votes is solicited hereby.

Shareholders are requested to date, sign and return the enclosed Proxy to make certain their shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Any Proxy given may be revoked by the shareholder at any time before it is voted by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by filing with him a Proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All Proxies properly executed and returned will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified thereon. If no instructions are specified, Proxies will be voted FOR the election of the five nominees for directors named under “Election of Directors.”

The purpose of the 1998 Stock Option Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain top-quality employees, officers, directors and consultants and to provide them with an incentive to enhance stockholder return.

The expiration of the 1988 Stock Option Plan had no effect on outstanding options granted thereunder prior to its expiration, some of which remain outstanding. The

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Trio-Tech, composed of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and two outside directors, is responsible for, among other duties, recommending to the Board suggestions and administration of policies and procedures regarding executive compensation and criteria for the amounts of such compensation.

The compensation program presently in effect at Trio-Tech International has three elements: (1) base annual salary; (2) potential annual cash incentive awards that are based primarily on financial performance of the Company or its relevant business operating units; and (3) long-term incentives in the form of stock options. The Committee believes that a significant portion of the total compensation of the Company’s executives should be at risk, based upon the achievement of pre-established goals.

Base cash compensation

In determining the compensation levels for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Committee reviewed compensation policies of other companies, comparable in size, to Trio-Tech.

The fiscal year 2002 base cash compensation for officers of the Company who reside in Singapore was denominated in the currency of Singapore. The exchange rate therefor was established as of June 30, 2001 and was computed to be 1.77 Singapore Dollars to each U.S. Dollar. Singapore executive officers are also credited with a compulsory contribution under Singapore’s provident pension fund.

Bonuses for 2002

The Compensation Committee also considered awarding additional discretionary annual cash bonuses to its executive officers based primarily on the Company’s overall performance and, to a lesser extent, on the contribution each executive made to the Company’s success. The Committee noted that as of June 30, 2001, the Company’s performance was consistent with its business plan and determined the CEO would retain his right to receive a bonus equal to 5% of pre-tax profits for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

2002 Compensation of CEO

After giving effect to the currency exchange rates and the compulsory pension fund payment, the CEO’s compensation was US$196,847 for fiscal 2002, compared to US$304,662 in the preceding year.

Stock Options

The Company’s 1998 Stock Option Plan was approved by the Board on September 30, 1997 and the stockholders on December 8, 1997. The purpose of the 1998 Stock Option Plan is to enable the Company to attract and retain top-quality employees, officers, directors and consultants and to provide them with an incentive to enhance stockholder return.

In this context, the Compensation Committee reviewed the performance of its officers and key-employees and, in recognition of their contributions, they were granted options covering, in the aggregate, 116,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.20 per share.

In addition, the Company granted options for 45,000 shares, at an exercise price of $2.72 per share, to its directors under the Directors Stock Option Plan discussed below.

The Company instituted the Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Directors Plan”) in 1997, which was unanimously approved by the Board and approved by the Company’s Shareholders. The purpose of the Directors Plan is to give appropriate compensation to the Directors of the Company. The Company believes that the Directors Plan will provide non-employee Directors and the President of the Company (if he or she is a Director of the Company) a favorable opportunity to acquire Common Stock of the Company and will create an incentive for them to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company and contribute to its long-term growth and profitability objectives. Additionally, the Company paid to its non-employee Directors during fiscal 2002 $5,000 per year and $1,500 per meeting attended (and to the Chairman of the Board $15,000 per year and $4,500 per meeting attended), which the Company believes is substantially less than directors of comparable public companies are paid. Directors are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. Pursuant to the terms of the Directors Plan, the Board of Directors amended the Directors Plan on September 24, 2002 to increase the required exercise price for shares purchasable upon the exercise of options granted under the Directors Plan from 85% to 100% of fair market value (as defined in the Directors Plan) of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant of each such option.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Based solely on a review of reports on Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnished to the Company, no Director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of Trio-Tech International’s Common Stock failed to file on a timely basis any of such reports.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

As previously reported, Deloitte & Touche LLP (the “Former Accountant”) was previously the Company’s principal accountant. On June 28, 2002, the Company dismissed the Former Accountant as its principal accountant. The Former Accountant’s report on the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, and any subsequent interim periods preceding the dismissal of the Former Accountant, there were no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Former Accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

On June 28, 2002, BDO International was engaged as the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. A representative of BDO International is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make statements and respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors has not yet selected the independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2003.

Audit Fees:

BDO International billed the Company an aggregate of $105,000 for services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees:

There were no fees billed by BDO International for services rendered for information technology services relating to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

All Other Fees:

There were no other fees billed by BDO International for services rendered for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

Because BDO International did not provide the Company any non-audit services for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002, the Audit Committee did not need to consider whether the provision of the non-audit services provided to the Company by BDO International for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 was compatible with maintaining the independence of BDO International.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholders who wish to present proposals at the 2003 Annual Meeting should submit their proposals in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth on the first page of this Proxy Statement. Proposals must be received no later than July 10, 2003 for inclusion in next year’s Proxy Statement and Proxy Card. If a stockholder intends to present a proposal at the next Annual Meeting but does not seek inclusion of that proposal in the proxy statement for that meeting, the holders of proxies for that meeting will be entitled to exercise their discretionary authority on that proposal if the Company does not have notice of the proposal by September 24, 2003.

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

Upon the written request of any shareholder, the Company will provide, without charge, a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission for the year ended June 30, 2002.
