ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

     On March 9, 2000, inTEST Corporation (the "Company")
completed a merger with Temptronic Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation ("Temptronic"), whereby Temptronic was merged into
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Company exchanged
2,046,793 shares of its common stock for all of the Temptronic
common stock.  Each share of Temptronic common stock was
exchanged for 0.925 shares of the Company's common stock.  In
addition, outstanding Temptronic stock options were converted at
the same exchange ratio into options to acquire 175,686 shares of
the Company's common stock. The merger was accounted for under
the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.

	The Securities and Exchange Commission and its Accounting
Series Release No.135 ("ASR No. 135"), prohibits affiliates of
a company that are party to a business combination accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests from selling any common stock received
in such business combination until such time as financial results
covering at least 30 days of post-merger combined operations have
been published.  In accordance with ASR No. 135 and certain
provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 4,
2000, by and among Temptronic, the Company and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, the consolidated results of operations
for the month ended April 30, 2000 were as follows (in thousands,
except per share data):

            Net revenues                     $6,190
            Net income                          893
            Net income per share - diluted    $0.11

	The above results have been prepared and published only for
purposes of complying with the above contractual requirements and
with the pooling-of-interests accounting requirements and
therefore are not indicative or predictive of the results for any
interim period or the quarter ended June 30, 2000.  As previously
disclosed, the Company recorded a one-time restructuring charge
of approximately $2.6 million in connection with the merger
during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  The Company does not
expect to record any further costs related to the merger in
future periods.
