Item 2.05.    Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 30, 2008, inTEST Corporation (the "Company") announced that it will reduce the workforce in its Manipulator and Docking Hardware segment by 18 employees, representing 18% of the total employees in this segment. The Company will incur between $175,000 and $200,000 in total costs related to this action for severance and medical benefits to be paid to terminated employees. In addition to this workforce reduction, one facility in this segment will go to a reduced work week. These actions are being taken to reduce the operating expenses of the Manipulator and Docking Hardware segment in response to continued operating losses in that product segment. These costs will be incurred primarily in the second quarter of 2008. The Company expects that the completed action will reduce its annual operating expense structure by approximately $1.2 million.
