Trio-Tech International reported a widened loss of $347,000 in its second quarter ended Dec. 26 on revenue of $3.55 million.

A year ago, the Burbank-based concern lost $246,000 on revenue of $3.75 million. Trio-Tech lost 13 cents a share in the most recent quarter, against 9 cents a share a year ago.

Charles Wilson, Trio-Tech president, blamed losses on the continued worldwide slump in the semiconductor industry, the company’s principal customers. Wilson said revenue, which was $4.34 million in the first quarter, fell because the company shut down for two weeks in December.
