Robert E. Matthiessen, inTEST Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Board considered a variety of factors in reaching the decision to declare a dividend at this time, noting that the likelihood of an increase in the tax rates in 2013 would be economically disadvantageous to our stockholders. inTEST has and will continue to have a strong balance sheet after payment of the dividend, with over $16 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $21 million in working capital at the present time.
