Ltd. Down Payment for Purchase of Investment Properties Amounts of RMB 5,000, or approximately $691, as disclosed in Note 8, plus the interest receivable on long-term loan receivable of RMB 1,250, or approximately $173, and impairment on interest of RMB 906, or approximately $125. The shop lots are to be delivered to TTCQ upon completion of the construction of the shop lots in Singapore Themed Resort Project. The initial targeted date of completion was in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. However, the progress has been delayed as the developer is currently undergoing asset reorganization process, to re-negotiate with their creditors to complete the project. In Fiscal 2011, the Company signed a Joint Venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jia Sheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (the “Developer”) to form a new company, Junzhou Co. Limited (“Joint Venture” or “Junzhou”), to jointly develop the “Singapore Themed Park” project (the “Project”). The Company paid RMB10 million for the 10% investment in the Joint Venture. The Developer paid the Company a management fee of RMB 5 million in cash upon signing of the Agreement, with a remaining fee of RMB 5 million payable upon fulfilment of certain conditions in accordance with the Agreement. The Company further reduced its investment by RMB 137k, or approximately $22k, through the losses from operations incurred by the Joint Venture. In Fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of its entire 10% interest in the Joint Venture but, to date, has not received payment in full therefor. The Company recognized a disposal based on the recorded net book value of RMB 5 million, or equivalent to $803K, from net considerations paid, in accordance with GAAP under ASC Topic 845 Non-monetary Consideration. It is presented under “Other Assets” as noncurrent assets to defer the recognition of the gain on the disposal of the 10% interest in the Joint Venture investment until such time that the consideration is paid, so the gain can be ascertained. 00007320262023-07-012023-09-30 xbrli:shares 00007320262023-11-01 iso4217:USD 00007320262023-09-30 00007320262023-06-30 iso4217:USDxbrli:shares

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The discussions of Trio-Tech International’s (the “Company”) business and activities set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) 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 reflected in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company: market acceptance of Company products and services; the divestiture of one or more business segments in response to, among other factors, 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 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; ongoing public health issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic both nationally and internationally; the trade tension between U.S. and China; inflation; the war in Ukraine; other economic, financial and regulatory factors beyond the Company’s control and uncertainties relating to our ability to operate our business in China; uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulation in China can change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operation at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operations, financial performance and/or the value of our common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”) or impair our ability to raise money. Other than statements of historical fact, all statements made in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking, including, but not limited to, statements regarding industry prospects, future results of operations or financial position, and statements of our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospective and future financial results and condition. 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. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that are inherently difficult to predict, which could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from our expectations, forecasts and assumptions.

 

Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, or the occurrence of unanticipated events. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”). The Company’s operating results are presented based on the translation of foreign currencies using the respective quarter’s average exchange rate.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending June 30, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the estimated allowance for doubtful account receivables, reserve for obsolete inventory, impairments, provision of income tax, stock options and the deferred income tax asset allowance. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies summarized in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326”) for the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance modifies the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring use of an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter in fiscal 2024 under the modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

 

New pronouncements issued but not yet effective until after September 30, 2023, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Restricted deposits represent the amount of cash pledged to secure loans payable or trade financing granted by financial institutions, serve as collateral for public utility agreements such as electricity and water, and performance bonds related to customs duty payable. Restricted deposits are classified as current and non-current depending on whether they relate to long-term or short-term obligations. Restricted deposits of $737 as at September 30, 2023 are classified as current assets as they relates to short-term trade financing. On the other hand, restricted deposits of $1,719 as at September 30, 2023 are classified as non-current assets as they relate to long-term obligations and will become unrestricted only upon discharge of the obligations.

 

 

4.   TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions, and although management generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from the customers in certain circumstances.

 

The allowance for trade receivable represents management’s estimate of probable losses in our trade receivables as of the date of the financial statements. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the trade receivables, but that have not been specifically identified.

 

The following table represents the changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

The short-term loan receivables amounting to renminbi (“RMB”) 2,000, or approximately $276 arose due to TTCQ entering into a Memorandum Agreement with JiangHuai Property Development Co. Ltd. (“JiangHuai”) to invest in their property development projects (Project - Yu Jin Jiang An) located in Chongqing City, China in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”). Based on TTI’s financial policy, a provision for doubtful receivables of $276 on the investment in JiangHuai was recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”). TTCQ did not generate other income from JiangHuai for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 or for Fiscal 2023. TTCQ is in the legal process of recovering the outstanding amount of approximately $276.

 

The loan amounting to RMB 5,000, or approximately $691, arose due to TTCQ entering into a Memorandum Agreement with JiaSheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (“JiaSheng”) to invest in their property development projects (Project B-48 Phase 2) located in Chongqing City, China in Fiscal 2011. The amount was unsecured and repayable at the end of the term. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the loan receivable was transferred to down payment for purchase of investment property that is being developed in the Singapore Themed Resort Project (See Note 8).

Rental Property I - MaoYe Property

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, TTCQ purchased an office in Chongqing, China from MaoYe Property Ltd. (“MaoYe”) for a total cash purchase price of RMB 5,554, or approximately $894. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold thirteen of the fifteen units constituting the MaoYe Property. Management has decided not to sell the remaining two units of MaoYe properties in the near future, due to current conditions of the property market in China. A new lease agreement was entered into on February 1, 2023 for a period of 4 years at a monthly rate of RMB14, or approximately $2, after termination of the previous agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, monthly rental will increase by 5% each year.

 

Property purchased from MaoYe generated a rental income of $6 during the three months ended September 30, 2023,  and 2022.

 

Depreciation expense for MaoYe was $4 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Rental Property II - JiangHuai

 

During the year ended June 30, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”), TTCQ purchased eight units of commercial property in Chongqing, China from Chongqing JiangHuai Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. (“JiangHuai”) for a total purchase price of RMB 3,600, or approximately $580. As of September 30, 2023, TTCQ had not received the title deed for properties purchased from JiangHuai. While the above is not expected to affect the property’s market value, the current economic situation is likely to cause delays in court to consummate the acquisition of properties.

 

Property purchased from JiangHuai did not generate any rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Depreciation expense for JiangHuai was $6 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $7 for the same period in last Fiscal 2023.

 

Rental Property III FuLi

 

In Fiscal 2010, TTCQ entered into a Memorandum Agreement with Chongqing FuLi Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. (“FuLi”) to purchase two commercial properties totaling 311.99 square meters (“Office Space”) located in Jiang Bei District Chongqing. The total purchase price committed and paid was RMB 4,025, or approximately $648. The development was completed, the property was transferred to TTCQ in April 2013 and the title deed was received during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014.

 

TTCQ is actively searching for tenants to occupy the commercial properties, which are vacant as of the date of this Report.

 

Properties purchased from FuLi generated a rental income of $1 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

 

Depreciation expense for FuLi was $7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Summary

 

Total rental income for all investment properties in China was $7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $8 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

 

Depreciation expenses for all investment properties in China was $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $18 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

a)

In Fiscal 2011, the Company signed a Joint Venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jia Sheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (the “Developer”) to form a new company, Junzhou Co. Limited (“Joint Venture” or “Junzhou”), to jointly develop the “Singapore Themed Park” project (the “Project”). The Company paid RMB10,000 for the 10% investment in the Joint Venture. The Developer paid the Company a management fee of RMB5,000 in cash upon signing of the Agreement, with a remaining fee of RMB5,000 payable upon fulfilment of certain conditions in accordance with the Agreement. The Company further reduced its investment by RMB137, or approximately $22, through the losses from operations incurred by the Joint Venture. 

 

In Fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of its entire 10% interest in the Joint Venture but, to date, has not received payment in full therefor. The Company recognized a disposal based on the recorded net book value of RMB5,000, or equivalent to $803, from net considerations paid, in accordance with GAAP under ASC Topic 845 Non-monetary Consideration. It is presented under “Other Assets” as non-current assets to defer the recognition of the gain on the disposal of the 10% interest in the Joint Venture investment until such time that the consideration is paid, so the gain can be ascertained.

 

b)

Amounts of RMB5,000, or approximately $691, as disclosed in Note 5, plus the interest receivable on long-term loan receivable of RMB1,250, or approximately $173, and impairment on interest of RMB906, or approximately $125

 

The shop lots are to be delivered to TTCQ upon completion of the construction of the shop lots in Singapore Themed Resort Project. The initial targeted date of completion was in Fiscal 2017. However, progress has been delayed as the developer is currently undergoing an asset reorganization process, to re-negotiate with its creditors to complete the project.

 

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company accrued an impairment charge of $1,580 related to the doubtful recovery of the down payment on property in the Singapore Theme Resort Project in Chongqing, China. The Company elected to take this non-cash impairment charge due to increased uncertainties regarding the project’s viability, given the developers weakening financial condition as well as uncertainties arising from the negative real-estate environment in China, implementation of control measures on real-estate lending in China and its relevant government policies, together with effects of the ongoing pandemic. The local court is verifying the documents due to the sizable number of creditors as of September 30, 2023.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Deposits with banks are not insured by the local government or agency and are consequently exposed to risk of loss. The Company believes that the probability of bank failure, causing loss to the Company, is remote.

 

The Company is, from time to time, the subject of litigation claims and assessments arising out of matters occurring in its normal business operations. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

 

 

 

14.   BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Company operated in four segments; the testing service industry (which performs structural and electronic tests of semiconductor devices), the designing and manufacturing of equipment (assembly of equipment that tests the structural integrity of integrated circuits and other products), distribution of various products from other manufacturers in Singapore and Asia and the real estate segment in China.

 

The cost of equipment, current year investment in new equipment and depreciation expense are allocated into respective segments based on the primary purpose for which the equipment was acquired.

 

Corporate expenses are allocated to the four segments on a combination of factors involving revenue, manpower costs and fixed assets investments, except the Malaysia and China operations, which is calculated based on actual sales. The following segment information table includes segment operating income or loss after including corporate expenses allocated to the segments, which gets eliminated in the consolidation.

Management is currently evaluating the ongoing contributions of each of its business segments to its current and future revenue and prospects, including its testing segment. As a result, we may divest one or more business segments in the future, including its testing segment, to enable management to concentrate on segments where it anticipates opportunities for future revenue growth, thereby maximizing shareholder value.

Government grants

  $ 73     $ 21  

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received government grants amounting to $73, $16 of which was financial assistance received from the Singapore government, and the remaining $57 from the US government related to Employee Retention Credit (”ERC”).

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) passed by the United States Congress, provided an ERC scheme which was a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Appropriations Act”) extended and expanded the availability of the ERC through December 31, 2021. The Appropriations Act amended the ERC to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during Fiscal 2021.

 

The Company qualified for the ERC beginning in April 30, 2021 for qualified wages through September 30, 2021 and filed a cash refund claim during the three months ended December 31, 2021. To date, the Company has received $57 during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

 

 

17.  INCOME TAX

 

The provision for income taxes has been determined based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which we operate. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and income tax assets and liabilities, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws.

 

Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company is subject to a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”).  GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences including outside basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. GILTI expense was $15 and $43 for the period ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

The Company's income tax expense was $37 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $225 for the same period in Fiscal 2023. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 15% and 19% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease of income tax expenses attributable to lower chargeable income derived from controlled foreign corporation.

 

 

1.

The Singapore operations incurred lower income tax due to lower income generated in period ended September 30,2023 compared to same period last fiscal year.

 

2.

The Company recognized lower GILTI expenses due to lower income derived from controlled foreign corporation.

 

- 15 -

 

The Company accrues penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits when necessary, as a component of penalties and interest expense, respectively. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related accrued penalties or interest expense at September 30, 2023.

 

In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these criteria, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will not realize the benefits of the federal, state, and foreign deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established against deferred tax assets recorded in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions.

 

 

 

18.  REVENUE

 

The Company generates revenue primarily from three different segments: manufacturing, testing and distribution. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the arrangement with each customer, net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes. The revenues are recognized as separate performance obligations that are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to the customer.

 

Significant Judgments

 

The Company’s arrangements with its customers include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. A product or service is considered distinct if it is separately identifiable from other deliverables in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.

 

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis (“SSP”). Determining the SSP for each distinct performance obligation and allocation of consideration from an arrangement to the individual performance obligations and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition are significant judgments with respect to these arrangements. The Company typically establishes the SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar clients. The Company may estimate SSP by considering internal costs, profit objectives and pricing practices in certain circumstances.

 

Warranties, discounts and allowances are estimated using historical and recent data trends. The Company includes estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable in subsequent periods. The Company’s products and services are generally not sold with a right of return, nor has the Company experienced significant returns from or refunds to its customers.

 

Manufacturing

 

The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of both front-end and back-end semiconductor test equipment and related peripherals, maintenance, and support of all these products, installation and training services and the sale of spare parts. The Company’s revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the arrangement with each customer, net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.

 

- 16 -

 

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. The Company uses judgment to evaluate whether the control has transferred by considering several indicators, including whether:

 

the Company has a present right to payment;

 

the customer has legal title;

 

the customer has physical possession;

 

the customer has significant risk and rewards of ownership; and

 

the customer has accepted the product, or whether customer acceptance is considered a formality based on history of acceptance of similar products (for example, when the customer has previously accepted the same equipment, with the same specifications, and when we can objectively demonstrate that the tool meets all the required acceptance criteria, and when the installation of the system is deemed perfunctory).

 

Not all indicators need to be met for the Company to conclude that control has transferred to the customer. In circumstances in which revenue is recognized prior to the product acceptance, the portion of revenue associated with its performance obligations of product installation and training services are deferred and recognized upon acceptance.

 

Majority of sales under the manufacturing segment include a 12-month warranty. The Company generally provides a limited warranty that our products comply with applicable specifications at the time of delivery. Under our standard terms and conditions of sale, liability for certain failures of product during a stated warranty period is usually limited to repair or replacement of defective parts. The Company has concluded that the warranty provided for standard products are assurance type warranties and are not separate performance obligations.

 

Customized products are generally more complex and, as a result, may contain unforeseen faults that could lead to additional costs for us, including increased servicing or the need to provide product modifications. Warranty provided for customized products are service warranties and are separate performance obligations. Transaction prices are allocated to this performance obligation using cost plus method. The portion of revenue associated with warranty service is deferred and recognized as revenue over the warranty period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of warranty services provided by the Company.

 

Testing

 

The Company renders testing services to manufacturers and purchasers of semiconductors and other entities who either lack testing capabilities or whose in-house screening facilities are insufficient. The Company primarily derives testing revenue from burn-in services, manpower supply and other associated services. SSP is directly observable from the sales orders. Revenue is allocated to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time depending upon terms of the sales order. Generally, there is no other performance obligation other than what has been stated inside the sales order for each of these sales.

 

Terms of contract that may indicate potential variable consideration include warranty, late delivery penalty and reimbursement to solve nonconformance issues for rejected products. Based on historical and recent data trends, it is concluded that these terms of the contract do not represent potential variable consideration. The transaction price is not contingent on the occurrence of any future event.

 

Distribution

 

The Company distributes complementary products, made by manufacturers around the world. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at a point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. The Company uses judgment to evaluate whether control has transferred by considering several indicators discussed above. The Company recognizes the revenue at a point in time, generally upon shipment or delivery of the products to the customer or distributors, depending upon terms of the sales order. 

 

- 17 -

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and collections may result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, contract assets, customer advances, deposits and contract liabilities. The Company’s payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment of 70% to 90% of total contract consideration within 30 to 60 days of shipment with the remainder payable within 30 days of acceptance. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.

20.  STOCK OPTIONS

 

On September 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted the 2017 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2017 Employee Plan”) and the 2017 Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Directors Plan”) each of which was approved by the shareholders on December 4, 2017.

 

Assumptions

 

The fair value for the stock options granted to both employees and directors was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions, assuming: 

 

An expected life varying from 2.50 to 3.25 years, calculated in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff bulletin No. 110 for plain vanilla options using the simplified method, since our equity shares have been publicly traded for only a limited period of time;

A risk-free interest rate varying from 0.11% to 4.59% (2023: 0.11% to 4.17%);

No expected dividend payments; and

Expected volatility of 47.3% to 73.85% (2023: 47.3% to 73.85%).

2017 Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Company’s 2017 Employee Plan permits the grant of stock options to its employees covering up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock. In December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2017 Employee Plan to increase the shares covered thereby from 300,000 shares to an aggregate of 600,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting held in December 2021.

 

Under the 2017 Employee Plan, all options must be granted with an exercise price of no less than fair value as of the grant date and the options granted must 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 2017 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 on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2017 Employee Plan).

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, 48,000 stock options were granted under the 2017 Employee Plan. No stock options were exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Company recognized $60 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, 25,000 stock options were granted under the 2017 Employee Plan. There were 5,000 stock options exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Company recognized $32 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Employee Plan covering a total of 152,875 shares of Common Stock. The weighted-average exercise price was $4.55 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.31 years.

 

As of September 30, 2022, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Employee Plan covering a total of 131,750 shares of Common Stock. The weighted-average exercise price was $4.80 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 1.95 years.

2017 Directors Equity Incentive Plan

 

The 2017 Directors Plan permits the grant of options to its directors in the form of non-qualified options and restricted stock, and initially covered up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock. In September 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2017 Directors Plan to increase the shares covered thereby from 300,000 shares to an aggregate of 600,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting held in December 2020.

 

Under the 2017 Plan, the exercise price of the non-qualified options is required to be 100% of the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. The options have five-year contractual terms and are exercisable immediately as of the grant date.

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the Company did not grant any options pursuant to the 2017 Directors Plan. There were no stock options exercised and the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

As all the stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan vest immediately on the date of grant, there were no unvested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan as of September 30, 2023, or September 30, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan covering a total of 420,000 shares of Common Stock. The weighted average exercise price was $4.91 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.66 years.

 

As of September 30, 2022, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan covering a total of 420,000 shares of Common Stock. The weighted average exercise price was $5.10 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.57 years.

21.  LEASES

 

Company as Lessor

 

Operating leases under which the Company is the lessor arise from leasing the Company’s commercial real estate investment property to third parties. Initial lease terms generally range from 12 to 60 months. Depreciation expense for assets subject to operating leases is taken into account primarily on the straight-line method over a period of 20 years in amounts necessary to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated residual value. Depreciation expense relating to the property held as investments in operating leases was $17 and $18 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Future minimum rental income in China and Thailand to be received from Fiscal 2024 to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2027 (“Fiscal 2027”) on non-cancelable operating leases is contractually due as follows as of September 30, 2023:

Sales-type leases under which the Company is the lessor arise from the lease of four units of chiller systems. The Company classifies its lease arrangements at inception of the arrangement. The lease term is three years, contains an automatic transfer of title at the end of the lease term and a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory cost such as taxes.

TRIO-TECH INTERNATIONAL AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

Overview

 

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, the information under the headings Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (Fiscal 2023).

 

Trio-Tech International (“TTI”) was incorporated in 1958 under the laws of the State of California. As used herein, the term “Trio-Tech” or “Company” or “we” or “us” or “Registrant” includes Trio-Tech International and its subsidiaries unless the context otherwise indicates. Our mailing address and executive offices are located at Block 1008 Toa Payoh North, Unit 03-09 Singapore 318996, and our telephone number is (65) 6265 3300.

 

The Company is a provider of reliability test equipment and services to the semiconductor industry. Our customers rely on us to verify that their semiconductor components meet or exceed the rigorous reliability standards demanded for automotive electronics, industrial electronics, computing and data storage, consumer electronics, and communication markets. We act as a global one-stop solution for our customers by designing and building reliability test solutions and offering comprehensive testing services through our testing laboratories in Asia and the United States (“U.S.”).

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, TTI generated approximately 100% of its revenue from its three core business segments in the test and measurement industry, i.e., manufacturing of test equipment (“Manufacturing”), testing services (“Testing”) and distribution of test equipment and electronic components (“Distribution”). Management is currently evaluating the ongoing contribution of each of its business segments to its current and future revenue and prospects, including its Testing segment.  As a result, we may divest one or more business segments in the future, including its Testing segment, to allow management to focus on segments where it believes the opportunity exists to more accurately predict future revenue growth and therefore maximize shareholder value.

 

Manufacturing

 

TTI develops and manufactures an extensive range of test equipment used in the “front-end” and the “back-end” manufacturing processes of semiconductors. Our equipment includes leak detectors, autoclaves, centrifuges, burn-in systems and boards, HAST testers, temperature-controlled chucks, wet benches and more. We also act as an extended development team of Integrated Device Manufacturers (“IDMs”) and Fabless semiconductor companies in the testing process with our expert technical skills, especially in the New Product Introduction (“NPI”) process.

 

Testing

 

TTI provides comprehensive electrical, environmental, and burn-in testing services to semiconductor manufacturers in our testing laboratories in Asia and the U.S. Our customers include both manufacturers and end users of semiconductor and electronic components who look to us when they decide to outsource their testing process. We also support the asset-light strategy of our customers by setting up test facilities and providing component level, package level and system level testing services with expert technology that improves the productivity of our customers. The independent tests are performed to industry and customer specific standards.

 

Distribution

 

In addition to marketing our proprietary products, we distribute complementary products made by manufacturers around the world. The products include environmental chambers, mechanical shock and vibration testers, and other semiconductor equipment. We also distribute a wide range of components such as connectors, sockets, cables, LCD displays and touch screen panels. We act as value-added resellers by enhancing the value of the distributed products by customizing each to the needs of our customers through our expert engineering, integration, and sub-assembly services. We also support our customers as their extended research & development arm in product design, leveraging the expert skills of our component engineers and design engineers.

 

Real Estate

 

Our real estate segment generates rental income and investment income from real estate investments made in Chongqing, China.

Critical Accounting Estimates & Policies

 

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions in applying our accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and evaluate them on an ongoing basis to ensure that they remain reasonable under current conditions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We discuss the development and selection of the critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis, and the Audit Committee has reviewed our related disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates and policies since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023. Refer to Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. In addition, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023 for a complete description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $9,966, a decrease of $1,973 from $11,939, when compared to revenue for the same period of the prior fiscal year. As a percentage, revenue decreased by 16.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, when compared to revenue for the same period in the prior year.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there was a decrease in revenue across all segments when compared to the same period of Fiscal 2023.

 

Total revenue into and within China, the Southeast Asia regions and other countries (except revenue into and within the U.S.) decreased by $1,938, or 16.9%, to $9,508 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared with $11,446 for the same period of Fiscal 2023. 

 

Total revenue into and within the U.S. was $457 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $36 from $493 for the same period of the prior year.

 

An analysis of the decline in revenue within our four current segments for the three months ended September 30, 2023, is discussed below.

 

Manufacturing Segment

 

Revenue in the Manufacturing segment as a percentage of total revenue was 28.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 1.1% of total revenue when compared to 30.0% in the same period in Fiscal 2023. The absolute amount of revenue decreased by $700 to $2,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3,585, in the same period of Fiscal 2023. The decrease was principally due to lower board and system sales in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 compared to the same period in Fiscal 2023.

 

Revenue in the Manufacturing segment from one customer accounted for 18.7% and 16.3% of our total revenue in the Manufacturing segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

Testing Segment

 

The Testing segment's revenue was 51.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 1.5%, compared to 53.3% in the same period of Fiscal 2023. The absolute amount of revenue decreased by $1,200 to $5,164 from $6,364 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period of Fiscal 2023. The decrease was principally due to lower demand resulting from a weakening of the global semiconductor industry.

 

Revenue in the Testing segment from one customer accounted for 40.4% and 49.8% of our revenue in the Testing segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The future revenue in the Testing segment will be affected by the demands of this customer if the customer base cannot be increased. Demand for testing services varies from country to country, depending on any changes taking place in the market and our customers’ forecasts. As it is challenging to forecast fluctuations in the market accurately, management believes it is necessary to maintain testing facilities in close proximity to the customers in order to make it convenient for them to send us their newly manufactured parts for testing and to enable us to maintain a share of the market.

Distribution Segment

 

Revenue in the Distribution segment was 19.2% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of 2.6%, compared to the same period in Fiscal 2023. The absolute amount of revenue decreased by $72 to $1,910 from $1,982 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in Fiscal 2023. 

 

The revenue in the Distribution segment from one customer accounted for 83% and 100% of our revenue in the Distribution segment for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Demand for the Distribution segment varies depending on the demand for our customers’ products, the changes taking place in the market, and our customers’ forecasts. Hence it is difficult to forecast fluctuations in the market accurately.

 

Real Estate Segment

 

The Real Estate segment accounted for 0.1% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The absolute amount of revenue decreased by $1 to $7 from $8 and remained comparable for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period of Fiscal 2023. Our Real Estate segment saw a decrease in rental income due principally to the low occupancy rate in the MaoYe and FuLi properties due to slower post-pandemic recovery in China.

 

Uncertainties and Remedies

 

There are several influencing factors which create uncertainties when forecasting performance, such as the changing nature of technology, specific customer requirements, decline in demand for certain types of burn-in devices or equipment, decline in demand for testing services and fabrication services, and other factors. One factor that influences uncertainty is the highly competitive nature of the semiconductor industry. Additionally, certain customers are unable to provide a forecast of the products required in the upcoming weeks, rendering it, difficult to plan adequate resources needed to meet these customers’ requirements because of short lead time and last-minute order confirmation. This will normally result in a lower margin for these products as it is often 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, to meet manufacturing customers’ demands upon short notice, the Company maintains higher inventories but continues to work closely with its customers to avoid stockpiling. We believe that we have improved customer service through our efforts to keep our staff up to date on the newest technology and stressing the importance of understanding and meeting the stringent requirements of our 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 for higher technology chips.

 

The Company’s primary exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates relates to non-U.S. dollar-denominated sales and operating expense in its subsidiaries. Strengthening of the United States dollar (“U.S. Dollar”) relative to foreign currencies adversely affects the U.S. Dollar value of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated sales and earnings, and generally leads the Company to raise international pricing, potentially reducing demand for the Company’s products. Margins on sales of the Company’s products in foreign countries and on sales of products that include components obtained from foreign suppliers could be materially adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In some circumstances, for competitive or other reasons, the Company may decide not to raise local prices to fully offset the U.S. Dollar’s strengthening, or at all, which would adversely affect the U.S. Dollar value of the Company’s foreign currency-denominated sales and earnings. Conversely, a strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar, while generally beneficial to the Company’s foreign currency denominated sales and earnings, could cause the Company to reduce international pricing, thereby limiting the benefit. Additionally, strengthening of foreign currencies may also increase the Company’s cost of product components denominated in those currencies, thus adversely affecting gross margins.

 

As of September 2023, although we have seen improvements in both our operations and those of our suppliers, we may continue to experience supply shortages as well as inflationary cost pressures in at least the near term. Risks and uncertainties related to supply chain challenges, and inflationary pressures may continue to negatively impact our revenue and gross margin. We continue to monitor and evaluate the business impact to react proactively.

 

On August 9, 2022, the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (CHIPS Act) was enacted in the United States. The CHIPS Act will provide financial incentives to the semiconductor industry which are primarily directed at manufacturing activities within the U.S. We continue to evaluate the business impact and potential opportunities related to the CHIPS Act. As of date, we do not see any direct effect of the CHIPS Act on the Company in the foreseeable future.

The decrease in general and administrative expense was mainly attributable to the implementation of cost cutting initiatives from Malaysia and China operations in view of lower testing demand.

 

Selling expense increased by $14, or 8.1%, from $187 to $173 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in Fiscal 2023. The increase in selling expense was primarily attributable to an increase in commission costs in the manufacturing segment of the Singapore operations as a result of an increase in commissionable revenue, and an increase in travel costs due to increased business travel in the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, compared to the same quarter in Fiscal 2023.

 

(Loss) / Income from Operations

 

(Loss) / Income from operations was $1 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1,068, compared to profit of $1,067  from operations for the same period in Fiscal 2023. The result was mainly due to the decreased revenue and gross profit margin in absolute dollars amount.

Government Grant

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received government grants amounting to $73, $16 of which was financial assistance received from the Singapore government, and the remaining $57 from the US government related to Employee Retention Credit (”ERC”).

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received government grants amounting to $21 from the local government in its China and Singapore operations.

 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) passed by the U.S. Congress, provided an ERC scheme which was a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Appropriations Act”) extended and expanded the availability of the ERC through December 31, 2021. The Appropriations Act amended the ERC to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during Fiscal 2021.

 

The Company qualified for the ERC beginning in April 30, 2021 for qualified wages through September 30, 2021 and filed a cash refund claim during the three months ended December 31, 2021. To date, the Company has received $57 during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

The Company's income tax expense was $37 and $225 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Income tax expense decreased due to lower net income resulting from decrease in revenue mentioned earlier.

Net Income Attributable to Trio-Tech International Common Shareholders

 

Net income attributable to Company’s common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $230, a change of $652, compared to a net income of $882 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

Financial Condition

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, total assets increased by $2,513 to $44,699 compared to $42,186 as of June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in inventories, cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, other assets and trade account receivable partially offset by a decrease in short term deposits, prepaid expenses, assets held for sale and operating right-of-use assets.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $8,333 at September 30, 2023, reflecting an increase of $750 from $7,583 as at June 30, 2023, primarily due to maturity of the short-term deposit in the Singapore operation for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Short-term deposits were $5,946 at September 30, 2023, reflecting a decrease of $681 from $6,627 as at June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly attributed to the maturity of short-term deposits in the Singapore operation during the three months ended September 30, 2023 which is reflected in the cash and cash equivalents. These deposits matured but were not rolled forward, as these funds were required for working capital purposes.

 

At September 30, 2023, the trade accounts receivable balance increased by $1,169 to $10,973, from $9,804 as at June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in revenue from customers that have longer credit term in Singapore and China operation. The number of days’ sales outstanding in accounts receivables for the Group was 94 days and 82 days at the end of the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and the end of Fiscal 2023, respectively.

 

Other receivables at September 30, 2023, were $1,671, an increase of $732, compared to $939. The increase was mainly due to higher advance payments made to suppliers and refundable services taxes in the Singapore Operation.

 

Inventories at September 30, 2023, were $4,023, an increase of $1,872, compared to $2,151 as at June 30, 2023. The increase in inventories mainly attributed to the increased backlog in the Manufacturing segment attributable to our Singapore operations which are expected to be delivered over the next two quarters. 

 

Prepaid expenses was $660 at September 30, 2023 compared to $694 at June 30, 2023. This was mainly due to the prepayment for insurance, rental and software license fee.

 

Investment properties’ net in China was $458 at September 30, 2023 and $474 as at June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the foreign currency exchange movement between June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023.

 

Property, plant and equipment decreased by $1,054 from $8,344 at June 30, 2023, to $7,290 as at September 30, 2023, mainly due to the depreciation charged for the period and the foreign currency exchange movement between June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023.

 

Other assets increased by $47 to $163 as at September 30, 2023 compared to $116 at June 30, 2023.  This was primarily due to an increase in utilities deposits in our Singapore operation.

 

Lines of credit increased to $297 at September 30, 2023 as compared to $Nil as at June 30, 2023. The increase in lines of credit was due to a drawdown of the lines of credit in our Singapore operation for working capital purposes.

 

Accounts payable increased by $896 to $2,556 at September 30, 2023, compared to $1,660 at June 30, 2023 which was in line with the increase in inventories.

 

Accrued expense increased by $1,939 to $7,507 at September 30, 2023, as compared to $5,568 as at June 30, 2023. The increase in accrued expense was mainly due to an increase in the accrued purchases, and contract liabilities relating to customers’ deposits received in the Company’s Singapore operations.

 

Bank loans payable decreased by $120 to $1,232 at September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,352 as of June 30, 2023. The decrease in bank loans payable was mainly due to the repayment of bank loans in connection with our Malaysia operations.

 

Finance leases decreased by $28 to $121 at September 30, 2023, as compared to $149 at June 30, 2023. This was due to the repayments of leases in connection with our Singapore and Malaysia operations.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liability decreased by $47 to $2,562 at September 30, 2023, as compared to $2,609 at June 30, 2023. This was due to the repayment made and the operating lease expenses charged for the period.

Liquidity Comparison

 

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $1,618 to an outflow of $57 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from an inflow of $1,561 for the same period in Fiscal 2023. The increase in net cash outflow provided by operating activities was primarily due to lower net income generated of $207 compared to the same period of Fiscal 2023 and lower receipts from trade receivables and other receivables by $1,061, higher cash outflow for inventories by $573, prepaid expense by $501, other non-current liabilities by $367 and higher cash outflow for income tax payable $346. These are partially offset against higher cash inflow from accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1,399.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $516 to an inflow of $814 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from inflow of $1,330 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.  The decrease in cash inflow was primarily due to a decrease in withdrawal of unrestricted deposit by $1,793. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in additions to property, plant and equipment by $1,079 and proceeds from disposal of assets held for sale $198.

 

Net cash inflow from financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $144, representing an increase of $558, compared to cash outflow of $414 during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to a decrease in utilization of lines of credit by $668.

 

The Company filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which we may raise capital of U.S. $10,000,000 of any combination of securities (common stock, warrants, debt securities or units) for expansion of the Company’s testing capacity and working capital purposes if necessary.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”). The Company’s operating results are presented based on the translation of foreign currencies using the respective quarter’s average exchange rate.

 

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending June 30, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are the estimated allowance for doubtful account receivables, reserve for obsolete inventory, impairments, provision of income tax, stock options and the deferred income tax asset allowance. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies summarized in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2023.

2.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (“ASC Topic 326”) for the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance modifies the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring use of an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter in fiscal 2024 under the modified retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

 

New pronouncements issued but not yet effective until after September 30, 2023, are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Restricted deposits represent the amount of cash pledged to secure loans payable or trade financing granted by financial institutions, serve as collateral for public utility agreements such as electricity and water, and performance bonds related to customs duty payable. Restricted deposits are classified as current and non-current depending on whether they relate to long-term or short-term obligations. Restricted deposits of $737 as at September 30, 2023 are classified as current assets as they relates to short-term trade financing. On the other hand, restricted deposits of $1,719 as at September 30, 2023 are classified as non-current assets as they relate to long-term obligations and will become unrestricted only upon discharge of the obligations.

4.   TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions, and although management generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from the customers in certain circumstances.

 

The allowance for trade receivable represents management’s estimate of probable losses in our trade receivables as of the date of the financial statements. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in the trade receivables, but that have not been specifically identified.

The short-term loan receivables amounting to renminbi (“RMB”) 2,000, or approximately $276 arose due to TTCQ entering into a Memorandum Agreement with JiangHuai Property Development Co. Ltd. (“JiangHuai”) to invest in their property development projects (Project - Yu Jin Jiang An) located in Chongqing City, China in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“Fiscal 2011”). Based on TTI’s financial policy, a provision for doubtful receivables of $276 on the investment in JiangHuai was recorded during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“Fiscal 2014”). TTCQ did not generate other income from JiangHuai for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 or for Fiscal 2023. TTCQ is in the legal process of recovering the outstanding amount of approximately $276.

 

The loan amounting to RMB 5,000, or approximately $691, arose due to TTCQ entering into a Memorandum Agreement with JiaSheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (“JiaSheng”) to invest in their property development projects (Project B-48 Phase 2) located in Chongqing City, China in Fiscal 2011. The amount was unsecured and repayable at the end of the term. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the loan receivable was transferred to down payment for purchase of investment property that is being developed in the Singapore Themed Resort Project (See Note 8).

Rental Property I - MaoYe Property

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, TTCQ purchased an office in Chongqing, China from MaoYe Property Ltd. (“MaoYe”) for a total cash purchase price of RMB 5,554, or approximately $894. During the year ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold thirteen of the fifteen units constituting the MaoYe Property. Management has decided not to sell the remaining two units of MaoYe properties in the near future, due to current conditions of the property market in China. A new lease agreement was entered into on February 1, 2023 for a period of 4 years at a monthly rate of RMB14, or approximately $2, after termination of the previous agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, monthly rental will increase by 5% each year.

 

Property purchased from MaoYe generated a rental income of $6 during the three months ended September 30, 2023,  and 2022.

 

Depreciation expense for MaoYe was $4 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Rental Property II - JiangHuai

 

During the year ended June 30, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”), TTCQ purchased eight units of commercial property in Chongqing, China from Chongqing JiangHuai Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. (“JiangHuai”) for a total purchase price of RMB 3,600, or approximately $580. As of September 30, 2023, TTCQ had not received the title deed for properties purchased from JiangHuai. While the above is not expected to affect the property’s market value, the current economic situation is likely to cause delays in court to consummate the acquisition of properties.

 

Property purchased from JiangHuai did not generate any rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Depreciation expense for JiangHuai was $6 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $7 for the same period in last Fiscal 2023.

 

Rental Property III FuLi

 

In Fiscal 2010, TTCQ entered into a Memorandum Agreement with Chongqing FuLi Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. (“FuLi”) to purchase two commercial properties totaling 311.99 square meters (“Office Space”) located in Jiang Bei District Chongqing. The total purchase price committed and paid was RMB 4,025, or approximately $648. The development was completed, the property was transferred to TTCQ in April 2013 and the title deed was received during the third quarter of Fiscal 2014.

 

TTCQ is actively searching for tenants to occupy the commercial properties, which are vacant as of the date of this Report.

 

Properties purchased from FuLi generated a rental income of $1 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

 

Depreciation expense for FuLi was $7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.

 

Summary

 

Total rental income for all investment properties in China was $7 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $8 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

 

Depreciation expenses for all investment properties in China was $17 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $18 for the same period in Fiscal 2023.

a)

In Fiscal 2011, the Company signed a Joint Venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jia Sheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (the “Developer”) to form a new company, Junzhou Co. Limited (“Joint Venture” or “Junzhou”), to jointly develop the “Singapore Themed Park” project (the “Project”). The Company paid RMB10,000 for the 10% investment in the Joint Venture. The Developer paid the Company a management fee of RMB5,000 in cash upon signing of the Agreement, with a remaining fee of RMB5,000 payable upon fulfilment of certain conditions in accordance with the Agreement. The Company further reduced its investment by RMB137, or approximately $22, through the losses from operations incurred by the Joint Venture. 

 

In Fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of its entire 10% interest in the Joint Venture but, to date, has not received payment in full therefor. The Company recognized a disposal based on the recorded net book value of RMB5,000, or equivalent to $803, from net considerations paid, in accordance with GAAP under ASC Topic 845 Non-monetary Consideration. It is presented under “Other Assets” as non-current assets to defer the recognition of the gain on the disposal of the 10% interest in the Joint Venture investment until such time that the consideration is paid, so the gain can be ascertained.

 

b)

Amounts of RMB5,000, or approximately $691, as disclosed in Note 5, plus the interest receivable on long-term loan receivable of RMB1,250, or approximately $173, and impairment on interest of RMB906, or approximately $125. 

 

The shop lots are to be delivered to TTCQ upon completion of the construction of the shop lots in Singapore Themed Resort Project. The initial targeted date of completion was in Fiscal 2017. However, progress has been delayed as the developer is currently undergoing an asset reorganization process, to re-negotiate with its creditors to complete the project.

 

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2021, the Company accrued an impairment charge of $1,580 related to the doubtful recovery of the down payment on property in the Singapore Theme Resort Project in Chongqing, China. The Company elected to take this non-cash impairment charge due to increased uncertainties regarding the project’s viability, given the developers weakening financial condition as well as uncertainties arising from the negative real-estate environment in China, implementation of control measures on real-estate lending in China and its relevant government policies, together with effects of the ongoing pandemic. The local court is verifying the documents due to the sizable number of creditors as of September 30, 2023.

17.  INCOME TAX

 

The provision for income taxes has been determined based upon the tax laws and rates in the countries in which we operate. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and income tax assets and liabilities, including evaluating uncertainties in the application of accounting principles and complex tax laws.

 

Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company is subject to a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”).  GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences including outside basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. GILTI expense was $15 and $43 for the period ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

 

The Company's income tax expense was $37 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $225 for the same period in Fiscal 2023. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations was 15% and 19% for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease of income tax expenses attributable to lower chargeable income derived from controlled foreign corporation.

 

 

1.

The Singapore operations incurred lower income tax due to lower income generated in period ended September 30,2023 compared to same period last fiscal year.

 

2.

The Company recognized lower GILTI expenses due to lower income derived from controlled foreign corporation.

 

The Company accrues penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits when necessary, as a component of penalties and interest expense, respectively. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or related accrued penalties or interest expense at September 30, 2023.

 

In assessing the ability to realize the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these criteria, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will not realize the benefits of the federal, state, and foreign deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established against deferred tax assets recorded in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

18.  REVENUE

 

The Company generates revenue primarily from three different segments: manufacturing, testing and distribution. The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when there is approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company’s revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the arrangement with each customer, net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes. The revenues are recognized as separate performance obligations that are satisfied by transferring control of the product or service to the customer.

 

Significant Judgments

 

The Company’s arrangements with its customers include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. A product or service is considered distinct if it is separately identifiable from other deliverables in the arrangement and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.

 

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis (“SSP”). Determining the SSP for each distinct performance obligation and allocation of consideration from an arrangement to the individual performance obligations and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition are significant judgments with respect to these arrangements. The Company typically establishes the SSP based on observable prices of products or services sold separately in comparable circumstances to similar clients. The Company may estimate SSP by considering internal costs, profit objectives and pricing practices in certain circumstances.

 

Warranties, discounts and allowances are estimated using historical and recent data trends. The Company includes estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable in subsequent periods. The Company’s products and services are generally not sold with a right of return, nor has the Company experienced significant returns from or refunds to its customers.

 

Manufacturing

 

The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of both front-end and back-end semiconductor test equipment and related peripherals, maintenance, and support of all these products, installation and training services and the sale of spare parts. The Company’s revenues are measured based on consideration stipulated in the arrangement with each customer, net of any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes.

 

The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. The Company uses judgment to evaluate whether the control has transferred by considering several indicators, including whether:

 

the Company has a present right to payment;

 

the customer has legal title;

 

the customer has physical possession;

 

the customer has significant risk and rewards of ownership; and

 

the customer has accepted the product, or whether customer acceptance is considered a formality based on history of acceptance of similar products (for example, when the customer has previously accepted the same equipment, with the same specifications, and when we can objectively demonstrate that the tool meets all the required acceptance criteria, and when the installation of the system is deemed perfunctory).

 

Not all indicators need to be met for the Company to conclude that control has transferred to the customer. In circumstances in which revenue is recognized prior to the product acceptance, the portion of revenue associated with its performance obligations of product installation and training services are deferred and recognized upon acceptance.

 

Majority of sales under the manufacturing segment include a 12-month warranty. The Company generally provides a limited warranty that our products comply with applicable specifications at the time of delivery. Under our standard terms and conditions of sale, liability for certain failures of product during a stated warranty period is usually limited to repair or replacement of defective parts. The Company has concluded that the warranty provided for standard products are assurance type warranties and are not separate performance obligations.

 

Customized products are generally more complex and, as a result, may contain unforeseen faults that could lead to additional costs for us, including increased servicing or the need to provide product modifications. Warranty provided for customized products are service warranties and are separate performance obligations. Transaction prices are allocated to this performance obligation using cost plus method. The portion of revenue associated with warranty service is deferred and recognized as revenue over the warranty period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of warranty services provided by the Company.

 

Testing

 

The Company renders testing services to manufacturers and purchasers of semiconductors and other entities who either lack testing capabilities or whose in-house screening facilities are insufficient. The Company primarily derives testing revenue from burn-in services, manpower supply and other associated services. SSP is directly observable from the sales orders. Revenue is allocated to performance obligations satisfied at a point in time depending upon terms of the sales order. Generally, there is no other performance obligation other than what has been stated inside the sales order for each of these sales.

 

Terms of contract that may indicate potential variable consideration include warranty, late delivery penalty and reimbursement to solve nonconformance issues for rejected products. Based on historical and recent data trends, it is concluded that these terms of the contract do not represent potential variable consideration. The transaction price is not contingent on the occurrence of any future event.

 

Distribution

 

The Company distributes complementary products, made by manufacturers around the world. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at a point in time when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer. The Company uses judgment to evaluate whether control has transferred by considering several indicators discussed above. The Company recognizes the revenue at a point in time, generally upon shipment or delivery of the products to the customer or distributors, depending upon terms of the sales order. 

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and collections may result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, contract assets, customer advances, deposits and contract liabilities. The Company’s payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment of 70% to 90% of total contract consideration within 30 to 60 days of shipment with the remainder payable within 30 days of acceptance. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component.

20.  STOCK OPTIONS

 

On September 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted the 2017 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2017 Employee Plan”) and the 2017 Directors Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Directors Plan”) each of which was approved by the shareholders on December 4, 2017.

 

Assumptions

 

The fair value for the stock options granted to both employees and directors was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions, assuming: 

 

An expected life varying from 2.50 to 3.25 years, calculated in accordance with the guidance provided in SEC Staff bulletin No. 110 for plain vanilla options using the simplified method, since our equity shares have been publicly traded for only a limited period of time;

A risk-free interest rate varying from 0.11% to 4.59% (2023: 0.11% to 4.17%);

No expected dividend payments; and

Expected volatility of 47.3% to 73.85% (2023: 47.3% to 73.85%).

 

2017 Employee Stock Option Plan

 

The Company’s 2017 Employee Plan permits the grant of stock options to its employees covering up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock. In December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2017 Employee Plan to increase the shares covered thereby from 300,000 shares to an aggregate of 600,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting held in December 2021.

 

Under the 2017 Employee Plan, all options must be granted with an exercise price of no less than fair value as of the grant date and the options granted must 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 2017 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 on a straight-line basis for each separately vesting portion of the award. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the 2017 Employee Plan).

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024, 48,000 stock options were granted under the 2017 Employee Plan. No stock options were exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Company recognized $60 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2023, 25,000 stock options were granted under the 2017 Employee Plan. There were 5,000 stock options exercised during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. The Company recognized $32 in stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Employee Plan covering a total of 152,875 shares of Common Stock. The weighted-average exercise price was $4.55 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.31 years.

 

As of September 30, 2022, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Employee Plan covering a total of 131,750 shares of Common Stock. The weighted-average exercise price was $4.80 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 1.95 years.

2017 Directors Equity Incentive Plan

 

The 2017 Directors Plan permits the grant of options to its directors in the form of non-qualified options and restricted stock, and initially covered up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock. In September 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2017 Directors Plan to increase the shares covered thereby from 300,000 shares to an aggregate of 600,000 shares, which amendment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual meeting held in December 2020.

 

Under the 2017 Plan, the exercise price of the non-qualified options is required to be 100% of the fair value of the underlying shares on the grant date. The options have five-year contractual terms and are exercisable immediately as of the grant date.

 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the Company did not grant any options pursuant to the 2017 Directors Plan. There were no stock options exercised and the Company did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

As all the stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan vest immediately on the date of grant, there were no unvested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan as of September 30, 2023, or September 30, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2023, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan covering a total of 420,000 shares of Common Stock. The weighted average exercise price was $4.91 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.66 years.

 

As of September 30, 2022, there were vested stock options granted under the 2017 Directors Plan covering a total of 420,000 shares of Common Stock. The weighted average exercise price was $5.10 and the weighted average remaining contractual term was 2.57 years.

21.  LEASES

 

Company as Lessor

 

Operating leases under which the Company is the lessor arise from leasing the Company’s commercial real estate investment property to third parties. Initial lease terms generally range from 12 to 60 months. Depreciation expense for assets subject to operating leases is taken into account primarily on the straight-line method over a period of 20 years in amounts necessary to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated residual value. Depreciation expense relating to the property held as investments in operating leases was $17 and $18 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

Future minimum rental income in China and Thailand to be received from Fiscal 2024 to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2027 (“Fiscal 2027”) on non-cancelable operating leases is contractually due as follows as of September 30, 2023:

Sales-type leases under which the Company is the lessor arise from the lease of four units of chiller systems. The Company classifies its lease arrangements at inception of the arrangement. The lease term is three years, contains an automatic transfer of title at the end of the lease term and a guarantee of residual value at the end of the lease term. The customer is required to pay for executory cost such as taxes.

 

Financing receivables, consisting of net investment in sales-type leases and receivables from financed sales of 4 units of chiller systems are as follows:

[1] In Fiscal 2011, the Company signed a Joint Venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jia Sheng Property Development Co. Ltd. (the “Developer”) to form a new company, Junzhou Co. Limited (“Joint Venture” or “Junzhou”), to jointly develop the “Singapore Themed Park” project (the “Project”). The Company paid RMB10 million for the 10% investment in the Joint Venture. The Developer paid the Company a management fee of RMB 5 million in cash upon signing of the Agreement, with a remaining fee of RMB 5 million payable upon fulfilment of certain conditions in accordance with the Agreement. The Company further reduced its investment by RMB 137k, or approximately $22k, through the losses from operations incurred by the Joint Venture. In Fiscal 2014, the Company disposed of its entire 10% interest in the Joint Venture but, to date, has not received payment in full therefor. The Company recognized a disposal based on the recorded net book value of RMB 5 million, or equivalent to $803K, from net considerations paid, in accordance with GAAP under ASC Topic 845 Non-monetary Consideration. It is presented under “Other Assets” as noncurrent assets to defer the recognition of the gain on the disposal of the 10% interest in the Joint Venture investment until such time that the consideration is paid, so the gain can be ascertained.
[2] Down Payment for Purchase of Investment Properties
[3] Amounts of RMB 5,000, or approximately $691, as disclosed in Note 8, plus the interest receivable on long-term loan receivable of RMB 1,250, or approximately $173, and impairment on interest of RMB 906, or approximately $125. The shop lots are to be delivered to TTCQ upon completion of the construction of the shop lots in Singapore Themed Resort Project. The initial targeted date of completion was in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. However, the progress has been delayed as the developer is currently undergoing asset reorganization process, to re-negotiate with their creditors to complete the project.
