PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

inTEST Corporation (the "Company") is unable to file its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008 within the prescribed period of time because the Company requires additional time for the collection, compilation and analysis of information necessary to complete its financial statements for that period and for the other disclosures required to be included in the Form 10-K. The delay in filing is due to the fact that the Company's staff and management have been engaged in ongoing evaluations of its several business segments and overall cash requirements. The Company initiated a series of restructuring and cost reduction programs during the fourth quarter of 2008 which have continued in the first quarter of 2009 in order to conserve cash and reduce costs in light of deteriorating conditions in the semiconductor industry and the global economy. The Company will likely incur additional restructuring charges in future periods, however, it cannot predict the amount of such charges at this time. As a result of these conditions, the Company anticipates receiving a report from its independent registered public accounting firm expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 were $6.8 million, compared to $9.2 million in the third quarter of 2008. Our net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $(4.7) million or $(0.47) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.0) million or $(0.22) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2008 included charges for the impairment of certain long-lived assets of $(1.2) million or $(0.13) per diluted share, charges for the impairment of goodwill related to a prior acquisition of $(130,000) or $(0.01) per diluted share and restructuring charges of $(456,000) or $(0.05) per diluted share. The net loss for the third quarter of 2008 included charges for the impairment of certain long-lived assets of $(133,000) or $(0.01) per diluted share and restructuring charges of $(61,000) or $(0.01) per diluted share. The impairment and restructuring charges recorded during the third and fourth quarters of 2008 were incurred by our Manipulator and Docking Hardware and Tester Interface product segments. The restructuring charges consist of one-time termination benefits, as a result of our workforce reductions in these segments and facility closure costs as a result of our decision to shut our manufacturing facility in Amerang, Germany and our sales office in the UK.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $38.8 million, compared to $48.7 million for 2007. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $(9.4) million or $(0.99) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(6.7) million or $(0.73) per diluted share for 2007. The net loss for 2008 included charges for the impairment of certain long-lived assets of $(1.4) million or $(0.15) per diluted share, charges for the impairment of goodwill related to a prior acquisition of $(130,000) or $(0.01) per diluted share and restructuring charges of $(717,000) or $(0.08) per diluted share. The net loss for 2007 included charges for the impairment of goodwill related to prior acquisitions of $(2.8) million or $(0.31) per diluted share and charges for impairment of certain long-lived assets of $(535,000) or $(0.06) per diluted share. The impairment and restructuring charges during 2008 were incurred by our Manipulator and Docking Hardware and our Tester Interface product segments. The restructuring charges consist of one-time termination benefits, as a result of our recent workforce reductions in these segments, and facility closure costs, as a result of our decision to shut our manufacturing facility in Amerang, Germany and our sales office in the UK.
