[inTEST News Release Letterhead]

CHERRY HILL, NJ, March 24, 2010 - inTEST Corporation (Nasdaq: INTT), an independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) interface solutions and temperature management products, today announced final audited results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. We had previously reported preliminary unaudited results for the fourth quarter of 2009 on February 17, 2010.

Net revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $8.4 million, compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. Our net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $142,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(278,000) or $(0.03) per diluted share for the third quarter of 2009. We had previously reported preliminary net income for the fourth quarter of $145,000 or $0.02 per diluted share; while the difference in reported net income is only $3,000, the diluted earnings per share decreased due to rounding. The net income for the fourth quarter included restructuring charges of $307,000 or $0.03 per diluted share. The net loss for the third quarter included restructuring charges of $27,000 or $0.00 per diluted share. The restructuring charges recorded during the fourth quarter of 2009 were incurred by our Thermal Products segment and represent one-time termination benefits and facility closure costs related to the relocation of our Sigma Systems subsidiary. The restructuring charges recorded during the third quarter of 2009 were incurred by our Mechanical Products segment and represent facility closure costs related to the closure of our Japanese subsidiary.

Bookings for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $9.4 million, an increase of 19% over the $7.9 million in bookings for the third quarter of 2009.

Robert E. Matthiessen, President and Chief Executive Officer of inTEST commented, "During the fourth quarter of 2009, we continued to experience the momentum that began to build at the end of the third quarter. In fact, "momentum" does not adequately describe what is currently happening in the business. We have been experiencing a strong growth in bookings that began during the third quarter of 2009 and continues today. We ended the fourth quarter of 2009 with $9.4 million in bookings and $4.6 million in backlog. As of March 19, 2010, our first quarter 2010 bookings have reached $11.6 million and our backlog is $8.6 million. When we entered the downturn, our semiconductor related business was the first to decline. This business included practically all of the products manufactured by our Mechanical Products and Electrical Products segments, as well as the semiconductor-related products manufactured by our Thermal Products segment. Fortunately, at the time, our Thermal Products segment had maintained significant business outside of semiconductor products, which helped us to generate revenues during the downturn. Our historical experience has been that the semiconductor business usually is the first to decline into downturns and the first to experience recovery at the end of downturns. This is indeed happening as our semiconductor related products are those displaying strong growth today. As I said at the end of the third quarter of 2009, the real challenge now is to continue production ramp-up without overspending to achieve this goal. Our productivity as expressed in output-per-employee has dramatically increased while we are proceeding with discretion in manpower expansion and are continuing to closely monitor expenses."
