TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are a global supplier of innovative test and process solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, medical, semiconductorlife sciences, security and telecommunications. We managesemiconductor. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we managed our business as two2 operating segments which arewere also our reportable segments and reporting units: Thermal Products ("Thermal") and Electromechanical Solutions ("EMS"). Our Thermal segment designs, manufacturesAs discussed further in Note 15, effective January 1, 2022, we reorganized our operating segments. Accordingly, for 2022, we have three operating segments which are also our reportable segments and sellsreporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies. Prior period information has been reclassified to be comparable to the current period’s presentation.

The consolidated entity is comprised of inTEST Corporation and our thermal test and thermal process products while our EMS segment designs, manufactures and sells our semiconductor test products.wholly-owned subsidiaries. We manufacture our products in the U.S.U.S, Canada and the Netherlands. Marketing and support activities are conducted worldwide from our facilities in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Singapore, the Netherlands and the U.K. The consolidated entity is comprised of inTEST CorporationWe operate our business worldwide and sell our wholly-owned subsidiaries.products both domestically and internationally.

Our EMS segment sells its products to semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses (end user sales) and to automated test equipment (“ATE”) manufacturers (original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) sales), who ultimately resell our equipment with theirs to both semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses. These sales all fall within the ATE sector of the broader semiconductor market. Our Thermal segment sells its products to many of these same types of customers; however, it also sells to customers in the wafer processing sector within the broader semiconductor market and to customers in a variety of other markets outside the semiconductor market, including the automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial (including consumer products packaging, fiber optics and other sectors within the broader industrial market), medical and telecommunications markets.

BothAll of our operating segments have multiple products that we design, manufacture and market to our customers. Due to a number of factors, our products have varying levels of gross margin. The mix of products we sell in any period is ultimately determined by our customers' needs. Therefore, the mix of products sold in any given period can change significantly from the prior period. In addition, we sell our products to a variety of different types of customers with varying levels of discounts and commission expense. As a result of changes in both the mix of products sold as well as customer mix in any given period, our consolidated gross margin can bevary significantly impacted in any givenfrom period by a change in the mix of products sold in thatto period.

We refer toThe semiconductor market (“semi” or the “semi market”) which includes both the broader semiconductor market, includingas well as the more specialized ATEautomated test equipment (“ATE”) and wafer processing sectors within thatthe broader semiconductor market, ashas historically been the “Semi Market.” All other markets are designated as “Multimarket.” The Semi Market, which is the principallargest single market in which we operate,operate. The semi market is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and cyclical as well as seasonal market patterns. ThisThe semi market is also subject to periods of significant economic downturns at various times.expansion or contraction in demand. In addition to the semi market, we sell into a variety of other markets. Our intention is to continue diversifying our markets, our product offerings within the markets we serve and our customer base across all of our markets with the goal of reducing our dependence on any one market, product or customer. In particular, we are seeking to reduce the impact of volatility in the semi market on our results of operations.

Our Electronic Test segment sells its products to semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses (end user sales) and to ATE manufacturers (original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) sales), who ultimately resell our equipment with theirs to both semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses. These sales all fall within the ATE sector of the semi market. With the acquisition of Acculogic in December 2021, our Electronic Test segment also sells its products to customers in markets outside the semi market including the automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial and life sciences markets. Our Environmental Technologies segment sells its products to end users and OEMs within the ATE sector of the semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the semi market, including the automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial and life sciences markets. Our Process Technologies segment sells its products to customers in the wafer processing sector within the semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the semi market, including the automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences and security markets.

Our financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions worldwide and in the markets in which we operate, economic conditions specific to the Semi Marketsemi market and the other markets we serve, our ability to safeguard patented technology and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market, downward pricing pressures from customers, and our reliance on a relatively few number of customers for a significant portion of our sales.sales and our ability to safeguard patented technology and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of obsolescence of our inventory depending on the mix of future business and technological changes within the markets that we serve. Part of our strategy for growth includes potential acquisitions that may cause us to incur substantial expense in the reviewreviewing and evaluation ofevaluating potential transactions. We may or may not be successful in locating suitable businesses to acquire orand in closing acquisitions of businesses we pursue. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any business we do acquire with our existing business and we may not be able to operate the acquired business profitably. As a result of these or other factors, we may experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in our future operating results.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Demand from all of the markets we serve was significantly affected by COVID-19 during the first half of 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on demand from the Semi Market was intensified during the first half of 2020 because our business operations were also being negatively affected by a global downturn in the Semi Market at that time. The Semi Market, from which approximately half of our orders and net revenues are derived, entered a cyclical downturn in the beginning of 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, before the spread of COVID-19, we had started to see indications that the downturn was coming to an end. These indications included increased quoting activity and order levels for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. However, we believe COVID-19 delayed the recovery in the Semi Market as the increase in activity leveled off during late March 2020. Although we saw slightly increased order rates from our customers in the Semi Market during the second and third quarters of 2020, it was not until the fourth quarter of 2020 that we saw a significant increase in our orders from the Semi Market, which we believe indicates that we have now entered the next cyclical upturn. During the fourth quarter of 2020, our orders from the Semi Market increased 53% sequentially and were 141% higher than in the fourth quarter of 2019, the low point of the prior cyclical downturn for the products that we sell. This trend in our orders from the Semi Market continued in the first quarter of 2021 with a further 54% sequential increase from the level in the fourth quarter of 2020. We believe the level of increase in our orders and net revenues from the Semi Market during the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 reflects a combination of increased demand in the market resulting from the interruption of the normal recovery in the Semi Market cycle caused by the onset of COVID-19 in the first half of 2020, as well as increased demand for semiconductors, generally. We believe this increase in demand is being driven both by changing technology as well as increased use of technology across all aspects of daily life, such as in devices that facilitate remote work and education, smart technology used in homes and businesses, the increase in the number of integrated circuits used in the automotive industry and changes occurring in the telecommunications and mobility markets.

COVID-19 Pandemic

AsWith respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are following the guidance of the date of this filing, allCenters for Disease Control and Prevention and the local regulatory authorities in regions outside the U.S. While in most cases we are no longer requiring employees to wear masks indoors in our domestic locations, in certain of our operationsfacilities, where we have experienced a recent increase in the number of employees contracting the virus, we have re-instituted a mask requirement. We are encouraging all employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters, if possible. We are continuing to conduct temperature screenings and encouraging all employees to maintain social distancing when appropriate. We are also continuing to allow employees to work remotely either part-time or full-time in circumstances when possible. We are still assessing the impact of the recent increase in cases in certain of our facilities and exploring alternatives to address the lost production time. With regard to the recent shutdowns in China, we are working with our customers to identify alternate plans for delivery of our products to this region. If the spread of COVID-19 or its variants continues to worsen, we may experience additional lost production time or further interruption in our ability to ship our products to our customers. In addition, if one or more of our significant customers or suppliers is impacted, or significant additional governmental regulations and restrictions are imposed, our business in the future could be negatively impacted. We continue to be deemed “criticalmonitor the situation closely and essential business operations” under the various governmental COVID-19 mandates, which has allowed us to continue to operatewill adjust our business with certain modifications. These modifications include a significant number of our employees working remotely. Such employees have been provided with the tools and technologyoperations as necessary to do so. Additionally, we have implemented workplace safeguards designed to protect the health and well-being of our employees. Employees who remain in our facilitiesTo the extent that further governmental mandates or restrictions are following World Health Organization (“WHO”) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) recommended safety practices, as well as state and local directives. We have had occasions where one or more employees have contracted COVID-19 and entered our facilities while infected. To date, we have managed these occurrences with minimal disruption to our business while protecting other employees, but there can be no assurances that we can avoid similar occurrencesimplemented in the future, or, that in such cases, we can avoid significant disruption of our operations.

The aftermarket service and support that we provide to our customers has been, and we expect may continue to be, adversely impacted by COVID-19. Specifically, the travel restrictions that remain in place, coupled with limitations on visitors into customer facilities, have resulted in the reduction or suspension of in-person service and support activities. The net revenues associated with these aftermarket service and support activities typically range from 8% to 10% of our consolidated net revenues. Although these net revenues returned to a more typical range during the second half of 2020, they declined again in the first quarter of 2021. If the spread of COVID-19 or variations of the virus worsen, these revenues may continue to be reduced in future periods.

While the negative impact of COVID-19 on our business was reduced significantly in the second half of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the spread of the virus or variants of the virus could worsen and one or more of our significant customers or suppliers could be impacted, or significant additional governmental regulations and restrictions could be imposed, thus negatively impacting our business in the future. As a result of our current level of working capital as well as the availability of our revolving credit facility, which is discussed in Note 9, we currently expect to have sufficient liquiditybe able to continue to operate our business throughout 2021. Our revolving credit facility, which had no outstanding balance, was setin a manner similar to mature on April 9, 2021. As discussed in Note 14,how we modified this facility on April 10, 2021 and extended it as modified through April 9, 2024.have operated over the past year.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates



The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”("U.S. GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuesrevenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of our accounts, including contingent consideration, inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill, identifiable intangibles and deferred tax assets and liabilities, including related valuation allowances, are particularly impacted by estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Form 10-K10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“20202021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”10-K”) filed on March 23, 2021 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reclassification



Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be comparable with the current period's presentation.

Subsequent Events



We have made an assessment of our operations and determined that there were no material subsequent events requiring adjustment to, or disclosure in, our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 other than those described in Note 14.2022.

Business Combinations



Acquired businesses are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Fair values of intangible assets are estimated by valuation models prepared by our management and third-partythird-party advisors. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed have been reflected in our consolidated balance sheets, and the operating results are included in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows from the date of acquisition. Any change in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, will be recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period of the estimated fair value change. Acquisition-related transaction costs, including legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the acquisition, are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Restructuring and Other ChargesFair Value of Financial Instruments

InOur financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, our credit facility, interest rate swaps and our liabilities for contingent consideration. Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost which approximates fair value, due to the short maturities of the accounts. Our credit facility and our interest rate swap are discussed further below and in Note 11. Our liabilities for contingent consideration are accounted for in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 420 (Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations), we recognize820 (Fair Value Measurement). ASC Topic 820 establishes a liabilityfair value hierarchy for restructuring costsinstruments measured at fair value only whenthat distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Our contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs which are inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability is incurred. Workforce-related chargesand are accrued when it is determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally after individuals have been notified of their termination dates and expected severance benefits. Dependingdeveloped based on the timing ofbest information available in the termination dates, these charges may be recognized upon notification or ratably over the remaining required service period of the employees. Plans to consolidate excess facilities may result in lease termination fees and impairment charges related to our right-of-use (“ROU”) assets that are associated with the leasescircumstances. See Note 4 for these facilities. Other long-lived assets that may be impaired as a result of restructuring consist of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. Asset impairment charges included in restructuring and other charges are based on an estimate of the amounts and timing of future cash flowsfurther disclosures related to the expected future remaining use and ultimate sale or disposal of the asset, and, in the casefair value of our ROU assets, would include expected future sublease rental income, if applicable. These estimates are derived using the guidance in ASC Topic 842 (Leases), ASC Topic 360 (Property, Plant and Equipment) and ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles - Goodwill and Other).

liabilities for contingent consideration.

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets



As discussed in Notes 1 and 15, during the year ended December 31, 2021, we managed our business as 2 operating segments which were also our reportable segments and reporting units: Thermal and EMS. Effective January 1, 2022, we reorganized our operating segments. Accordingly, for 2022, we have 3 reportable segments which are also our reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies.

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles - Goodwill and Other). Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually inat the beginning of the fourth quarter on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As a part of the goodwill impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required. However, if, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine it is more-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or, if we choose not to perform a qualitative assessment, we are required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The goodwill impairment assessment is based upon the income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based upon a discounted cash flow approach. This fair value is then reconciled to our market capitalization at year end with an appropriate control premium. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually inat the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As a part of the impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-notmore-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

Long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and ROUright-of-use (“ROU”) assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain management's best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time.

Revenue Recognition



We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). We recognize revenue for the sale of products or services when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied and control of the product or service has been transferred to the customer. Generally, this occurs when we ship a product or perform a service. In certain cases, recognition of revenue is deferred until the product is received by the customer or at some other point in the future when we have determined that we have satisfied our performance obligations under the contract. Our contracts with customers may include a combination of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In addition to the sale of products and services, we also lease certain of our equipment to customers under short-term lease agreements. We recognize revenue from equipment leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue is recorded in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We do not have any material variable consideration arrangements, or any material payment terms with our customers other than standard payment terms which generally range from net 30 to net 90 days. We generally do not provide a right of return to our customers. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Nature of Products and Services

We are a global supplier of innovative test and process solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range ofin targeted markets including automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, medical, semiconductorlife sciences, security and telecommunications.semiconductor. We sell thermal management products including ThermoStreams, ThermoChambers, and process chillers, refrigerators and freezers, which we sell under our Temptronic, Sigma, Thermonics and ThermonicsNorth Sciences (formerly Z-Sciences) product lines, and Ambrell Corporation’s (“Ambrell”) precision induction heating systems, including EKOHEAT and EASYHEAT products. As a result of the acquisition of Videology, we sell industrial-grade circuit board mounted video digital cameras and related devices, systems and software. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions which include manipulators, docking hardware and electrical interface products. As a result of the acquisition of Acculogic, we sell robotics-based electronic production test equipment. We provide post-warranty service and support for the equipment we sell. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions and certain thermal management products to the Semi Market.semi market. We also sell many of our thermal management products to various other markets including the automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, medicallife sciences and telecommunicationssecurity markets.

We lease certain of our equipment under short-term leasing agreements with original lease terms of six months or less. Our lease agreements do not contain purchase options.

Types of Contracts with Customers

Our contracts with customers are generally structured as individual purchase orders which specify the exact products or services being sold or equipment being leased along with the selling price, service fee or monthly lease amount for each individual item on the purchase order. Payment terms and any other customer-specific acceptance criteria are also specified on the purchase order. We generally do not have any customer-specific acceptance criteria, other than that the product performs within the agreed upon specifications. We test substantially all products manufactured as part of our quality assurance process to determine that they comply with specifications prior to shipment to a customer.

Contract Balances

We record accounts receivable at the time of invoicing. Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, is included in current assets on our balance sheet. To the extent that we do not recognize revenue at the same time as we invoice, we record a liability for deferred revenue. In certain instances, we also receive customer deposits in advance of invoicing and recording of accounts receivable. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are included in current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, if any, historical experience, and other currently available evidence.

Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The only costs we incur associated with obtaining contracts with customers are sales commissions that we pay to our internal sales personnel or third-partythird-party sales representatives. These costs are calculated based on set percentages of the selling price of each product or service sold. Commissions are considered earned by our internal sales personnel at the time we recognize revenue for a particular transaction. Commissions are considered earned by third-partythird-party sales representatives at the time that revenue is recognized for a particular transaction. We record commission expense in our consolidated statements of operations at the time the commission is earned. Commissions earned but not yet paid are included in current liabilities on our balance sheets.

Product Warranties

In connection with the sale of our products, we generally provide standard one-one- or two-yeartwo-year product warranties which are detailed in our terms and conditions and communicated to our customers. Our standard warranties are not offered for sale separately from our products; therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation related to our standard warranties. We record estimated warranty expense for our standard warranties at the time of sale based upon historical claims experience. We offer customers an option to separately purchase an extended warranty on certain products. In the case of extended warranties, we recognize revenue in the amount of the sale price for the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We record costs incurred to provide service under an extended warranty at the time the service is provided. Warranty expense is included in selling expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Refer toSee Notes 57 and 1315 for further information about our revenue from contracts with customers.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at cost on a first-in, first-outfirst-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market value. Cash flows from the sale of inventories are recorded in operating cash flows. On a quarterly basis, we review our inventories and record excess and obsolete inventory charges based upon our established objective excess and obsolete inventory criteria. Our criteria identify excess material as the quantity of material on hand that is greater than the average annual usage of that material over the prior three years. Effective January 1, 2021, ourOur criteria identify obsolete material as material that has not been used in a work order during the prior twenty-four months. Prior to January 1, 2021, these criteria identified obsolete material as material that had not been used in a work order during the prior twelve months. In certain cases, additional excess and obsolete inventory charges are recorded based upon current market conditions, anticipated product life cycles, new product introductions and expected future use of the inventory. The excess and obsolete inventory charges we record establish a new cost basis for the related inventories. We incurred excess and obsolete inventory charges of $39$123 and $171$39 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 2022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The change in our estimate of obsolete material that was effective as of January 1, 2021 reflects changes that have occurred in the markets we serve and the business cycles within those markets. This change in estimate did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 (Leases) which was effective for us as of January 1, 2019. Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, we elected the package of practical expedients which included the grandfathering of the lease classification that had been made under prior guidance and, accordingly, we did not re-evaluate any of our leases for classification purposes in connection with the implementation of ASC Topic 842. All our lease contracts are still being treated as operating leases. We do not currently have any lease contracts that meet the criteria to be categorized as finance leases. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient and therefore did not reevaluate the lease terms that we used under prior guidance. The implementation of ASC Topic 842 had a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet as a result of recording ROU assets and lease liabilities for all our multi-year leases. Under prior guidance, none of these leases had any related asset recorded on our balance sheets. The only related liability recorded on our balance sheets was the amount which represented the difference between the lease payments we had made and the straight-line rent expense we had recorded in our statements of operations. The implementation of ASC Topic 842 did not have a significant impact on our pattern of expense recognition for any of our multi-year leases.

. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A lease contract is within scope if the contract has an identified asset (property, plant or equipment) and grants the lessee the right to control the use of the asset during the lease term. The identified asset may be either explicitly or implicitly specified in the contract. In addition, the supplier must not have any practical ability to substitute a different asset and would not economically benefit from doing so for the lease contract to be in scope. The lessee’s right to control the use of the asset during the term of the lease must include the ability to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset as well as decision-making authority over how the asset will be used. Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases based on the guidance in ASC Topic 842. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities. We do not currently have any finance leases. We do not have embedded leases nor do we have any initial direct costs related to our lease contracts.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. None of our leases provide an implicit rate; therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. We include these options in the determination of the amount of the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals and rent holidays during the original lease terms. Rent holidays are periods during which we have control of the leased facility but are not obligated to pay rent. For these leases, our ROU asset and lease liability are calculated including any rent holiday in the determination of the life of the lease.

We have lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. In addition to the monthly rental payments due, most of our leases for our offices and warehouse facilities include non-lease components representing our portion of the common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance charges incurred by the landlord for the facilities which we occupy. These amounts are not included in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are based on actual charges incurred in the periods to which they apply.

Operating lease payments are included in cash outflows from operating activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Amortization of ROU assets is presented separately from the change in operating lease liabilities and is included in depreciation and amortization inon our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We have made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC Topic 842 to short-term leases (leases with a term of one year or less at the commencement date of the lease). Lease expense for short-term lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 810 for further disclosures regarding our leases.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating-rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis for a portion of our floating rate debt, as discussed further in Notes 4 and 11. The principal objective of this agreement is to eliminate the variability of the cash flows for interest payments associated with our floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with ASC Topic 815 (Derivatives and Hedging). Further, we have determined that this agreement qualifies for the shortcut method of hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. 

Contingent Liability for Repayment of State and Local Grant ProceedsFunds Received

In connection with leasing a new facility in Rochester, New York, which our subsidiary, Ambrell, occupied in May 2018, we entered into agreements with the city of Rochester and the state of New York under which we received grants totaling $463$550 to help offset a portion of the cost of the leasehold improvements we have made to this facility. The final payment of $87 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2022. In exchange for the funds we received under these agreements, we are required to create and maintain specified levels of employment in this location through various dates ending in 2023.2024. If we fail to meet these employment targets, we may be required to repay a proportionate share of the proceeds. As of March 31, 2021, $3702022, $285 of the total proceeds received could still be required to be repaid if we do not meet the targets. We have recorded this amount as a contingent liability which is included in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Those portions of the proceeds which are no longer subject to repayment are reclassified to deferred grant proceeds and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term for the Rochester facility. Deferred grant proceeds are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on our balance sheet and totaled $81$236 at March 31, 2021.

2022. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2020, 2022, we were not in compliance with the employment targets as specified in the grant agreement with the city of Rochester. We applied for and received a waiver of this requirement for the year ended December 31, 2020. The waiver provided us until December 31, 2021 to come into compliance with the targets as outlined in the waiver. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with those targets.

Stock-Based Compensation



We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 (Compensation - Stock Compensation), which requires that employee share-based equity awards be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value of stock options, granted, which is then amortized to expense over the service periods. See further disclosures related to our stock-based compensation planplans in Note 10.12.

Income Taxes



The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Net earnings

Earnings (loss) per common share - basic is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Net earningsEarnings (loss) per common share - diluted is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents represent unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, a reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding - basic to weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding - diluted and the average number of potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to the guidance for accounting for credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB deferred the effective date of these amendments for certain companies, including smaller reporting companies. As a result of the deferral, the amendments are effective for us for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The amendments replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The amendments require a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. We plan to adopt the amendments when they become effective for us on January 1, 2023. We do notare currently expect thatevaluating the impact the adoption of these amendments will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

EMS Segment Restructuring and Facility ConsolidationZ-Sciences

On September 21, 2020, we notified employees in our Fremont, California facility of a plan to consolidate all manufacturing for our EMS segment into our manufacturing operations located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. The consolidation was substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2020 and resulted in the termination of employment for certain employees at the Fremont location. Prior to the consolidation, our interface products were manufactured in the Fremont facility, and our manipulator and docking hardware products were manufactured in the Mt. Laurel facility. The consolidation was undertaken to better serve customers through streamlined operations and reduce the fixed annual operating costs for the EMS segment. A small engineering and sales office will be maintained in northern California.

As a result of the consolidation, we incurred charges for severance and other one-time termination benefits, other associated costs, including moving and production start-up costs, and charges related to exiting the facility, including an impairment charge related to the ROU asset for the lease of the Fremont facility, which are more fully discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 20202021 Form 10-K.10-K, on October 6, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Z-Sciences Corp. (“Z-Sciences”), a developer of ultra-cold storage solutions for the medical cold chain market. The Z-Sciences product line was re-branded as “North Sciences” after our acquisition. The acquisition enhances our medical offerings and increases our presence in the life sciences market which is a key target market for us. Z-Sciences was founded in 2004. Its founder joined us as a consultant and is expected to become an employee in 2022. As of March 31, 2022, he was still a consultant. The purchase price for Z-Sciences was $500 in cash, subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment, $300 of which was paid at closing. The remaining $200, adjusted for the final working capital amount, will be paid on the one-year anniversary of closing based on the seller complying with the terms of his employment agreement. This amount has been recorded as a contingent consideration liability on our balance sheet at March 31, 2022 as our current assumption is that this liability will be paid out in October 2022. It is included in Other Current Liabilities. The fair value of this liability at March 31, 2022 approximates its cost due to the short maturity. In addition to his salary, in connection with his prospective employment, Z-Sciences’ founder will receive a multi-year restricted stock award with vesting provisions which would be contingent upon achieving future performance milestones related to sales growth and profitability of products related to the Z-Sciences business for the fiscal years from 2022 through 2026. The award will be valued at a maximum of $1,800. The actual numbers of shares to be awarded will be based on the stock price on the date of grant with a cap of 200,000 shares at the 100% attainment level of the vesting provisions that are defined in the restricted stock award agreement. The value of the award will be recorded as compensation expense in our statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the period in which the shares vest.

The acquisition of Z-Sciences has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Z-Sciences have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Z-Sciences’ purchase price was based on fair values as of October 6, 2021. Further information about the allocation of the purchase price is discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Unaudited pro forma information which would give effect to the acquisition of Z-Sciences as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 is not presented because the financial results for Z-Sciences prior to our acquisition are considered immaterial.

Videology

As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, on October 28, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Videology Imaging Solutions Inc. and Videology Imaging Solutions Europe B.V. (collectively, “Videology”), a global designer, developer and manufacturer of OEM digital streaming and image capturing solutions. The acquisition of Videology expands our process technology solutions, diversifies our reach into key targeted markets and broadens our customer base. It also builds on our process technology platforms by expanding our automation capabilities to add future product solutions with imaging data and analytical tools. The purchase price for Videology was $12,000 paid in cash at closing subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment.

The acquisition of Videology has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Videology have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Videology purchase price was based on fair values as of October 27, 2021. Further information about the allocation of the purchase price, and goodwill and intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition is discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K. 

The following unaudited pro forma information gives effect to the acquisition of Videology as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021. These proforma summaries do not reflect any operating efficiencies or costs savings that may be achieved by the combined businesses. These proforma summaries are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the acquisition taken place as of that date, nor are they indicative of future consolidated results of operations:

The pro forma results shown above do not reflect the impact on general and administrative expense of investment advisory costs, legal costs and other costs of $288 incurred by us as a direct result of the transaction.

Acculogic

As discussed further in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, on December 21, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Acculogic Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Acculogic”), a global manufacturer of robotics-based electronic production test equipment and application support services. The acquisition was completed by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Acculogic. The Acculogic acquisition adds electronics test capabilities with new technologies and services as well as broadens our customer base, furthers our end market diversification and expands our international footprint. The purchase price for Acculogic was approximately $9,000 paid in cash at closing subject to a customary post-closing working capital adjustment. In addition, we may pay the seller up to an additional CAD $5,000 in the five-year period from 2022 through 2026. The additional payments will be based on a percent of net invoices for which payments have been received on systems sold to EV or battery customers in excess of CAD $2,500 per year in each of the five years. The maximum payment is capped at CAD $5,000, which equates to approximately $4,000 at March 31, 2022. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date, an option-based income approach using a Monte Carlo simulation model was utilized due to the non-linear payout structure. As of the acquisition date, this resulted in an estimated fair value of $1,430. This amount was recorded as a contingent consideration liability and included in the purchase price as of the acquisition date. In future reporting periods, this same approach will be utilized to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration at each reporting date. Changes in the amount of the estimated fair value of the earnouts since the acquisition date will be recorded as operating expenses in our statement of operations in the quarter in which they occur.

The acquisition of Acculogic has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Acculogic have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price for Acculogic is not yet complete as the calculation of post-closing working capital adjustment has not yet been finalized. We are in discussions with the seller and expect the calculation to be finalized in the second quarter of 2022. We currently expect the final post-closing working capital adjustment to be a decrease in the purchase price in the range of $350 to $450.

The preliminary allocation of the Acculogic purchase price which is presented below was based on estimated fair values as of December 21, 2021. At December 31, 2021, we were still working with third-party valuation specialists to assist us with finalizing several aspects of the purchase price, including the valuation of intangible assets and contingent consideration. During the first quarter of 2022, we finalized the valuation of intangible assets, which did not change materially from the preliminary values reported in our 2021 Form 10-K, and the valuation of contingent consideration, which increased approximately $500 from the preliminary value reported in our 2021 Form 10-K. The increase primarily reflects an increase in the estimate of net invoices for which payments are expected to be received on systems sold to EV or battery customers in excess of CAD $2,500 per year in the five-year period from 2022 through 2026.

The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets was allocated to goodwill and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributed to synergies that are expected to result from the operations of the combined businesses.

The total purchase price of $9,797, which includes $1,430 for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration, has been allocated as follows:

Further information about the intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition is discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K.

ASC Topic 820 (Fair Value Measurement) establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

ASC Topic 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:

Level 1 Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The interest rate swap agreement we entered into in connection with our Term Note, as discussed further in Notes 2 and 11 is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. The contingent consideration liabilities on our balance sheet are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Our contingent consideration liabilities are a result of our acquisitions of Z-Sciences on October 6, 2021 and Acculogic on December 21, 2021. The contingent consideration liability for Z-Sciences represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon the continued employment with us of the Z-Sciences founder as discussed more fully in Note 3. It is included in Other Current Liabilities on our balance sheet. At December 31, 2021, we have assumed this payment will be made. The contingent consideration liability for Acculogic represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon sales to EV or battery customers as described further in Note 3. This amount was increased by $500 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 in connection with finalizing this aspect of the purchase price allocation.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Changes in the fair value of our Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:
