Trio-Tech Declares $0.50 Per Share Cash Dividend

     Van Nuys, CA, — December 2, 2005 — Trio-Tech International (AMEX:TRT) announced today that on December 2, 2005 its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.50 (US) per share. The cash dividend is payable on January 25, 2006 to shareholders of record on January 10, 2005. If all shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be acquired through the record date upon exercise of outstanding stock options are in fact acquired prior to the close of business on the record date, it is anticipated that the aggregate amount of the cash dividend will be approximately $1.6 (US) million.

     “This special cash dividend is a tangible reward to our loyal shareholders,” said S.W. Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Trio-Tech. “We believe that our strategy to focus on our semiconductor testing and burn-in business in Asia is beginning to deliver the growth for which we are striving. Demand at our facilities Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand is strong, and our recently announced agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Globetronics Shanghai Inc. (GSI), a semiconductor testing and burn-in business based in Shanghai, China, is expected to position us to expand our operations in the important Chinese market. This transaction is currently scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2006. Based on the encouraging outlook for the global semiconductor industry, we are excited about Trio-Tech’s opportunities for growth.”
