Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Substantially all of the following information was previously reported by Registrant on Form 8-K, filed July 15, 2004, under item 5, Other Events. Subsequent to the filing of such Form 8-K, further financial information of Seller (as defined below) was provided to Registrant. Upon applying the tests under Regulation S-X using such additional financial information, Registrant has concluded that, based on one of such tests, such acquisition may have been required to reported under item 2 of Form 8-K. As a result, Registrant is amending the July 15, 2004 Form 8-K as follows and will provide required financial information in a subsequent filing:

With reference to that Sales and Purchase Agreement dated March 29, 2004 between TS Matrix BHD, a Malaysian company (“Seller”), and Trio Tech (Malaysia) SDN. BHD., a Malaysian company of which the registrant owns 55% of the outstanding equity interests (“Buyer”), on July 1, 2004, Buyer acquired certain assets of Seller utilized by the burn-in testing division of Seller dealing with testing of semiconductor components for an aggregate cash purchase price of 3,500,000 Ringgit Malaysia. The assets acquired were mainly specialized equipment, such as presser burning board, feed thru-card, high temperature oven, loader and unloader, for the purpose of the burn-in testing process. That equipment will enable Buyer to have the testing capabilities and screening facilities to service the existing customer of the Seller, which customer has entered into a new agreement with Buyer. A portion of the purchase price (350,000 Ringgit Malaysia, representing approximately $92,105 (US) on March 29, 2004 based on the spot exchange rate published in Federal Reserve as of that date) was paid on March 29, 2004 by way of a deposit and was credited towards the aggregate purchase price at the closing of the transaction. The balance of the purchase price was paid at the closing of the transaction on July 1, 2004, of which 1,650,000 Ringgit Malaysia was paid in cash (or approximately $434,211 (US)) and 1,500,000 Ringgit Malaysia (or approximately $394,737 (US)) was paid by delivery of an approximately six-month bankers’ guarantee. Buyer also acquired on July 1, 2004 additional assets which Seller had been leasing for a purchase price of 917,995 Ringgit Malaysia (or approximately $241,578 (US)). Except as otherwise noted, the foregoing United States Dollar amounts were calculated based on the spot exchange rate published in Federal Reserve as of July 1, 2004. The source of the funds for this acquisition was the general working capital of Buyer. A copy of the Sales and Purchase Agreement was attached as Exhibit 99.1 of the Form 8-K, previously filed on July 15, 2004 and the Sub-tenancy Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
