EXPLANATORY NOTE
In connection with the preparation of our proxy materials for our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we determined that our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (our "2008 Annual Report") should be amended to correctly state (A) that the approximate number of holders of our common stock as set forth in Item 5 includes both beneficial and record holders and (B) the annual base compensation of our Vice President and General Manager - Thermal Products Segment as set forth on Exhibit 10.20. Accordingly, we set forth herein and in the accompanying revised Exhibit 10.20 the amended and restated text of these portions of our 2008 Annual Report. In addition, this Form 10-K/A includes the complete text of Item 15 and a revised Index to Exhibits in order to include the additional certifications that are filed with this Form 10-K/A. We further note that at the time of filing our 2008 Annual Report, we had not filed certain reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securitie s Exchange Act of 1934 during the preceding 12 months (the "Required Reports") and disclosed this fact as required on the cover page of our 2008 Annual Report. Subsequent to filing our 2008 Annual Report, we filed the additional Required Reports, such that as of July 17, 2009, we had filed all of the Required Reports, and we remain current with the requirement to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d).

Item 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is traded on NASDAQ under the symbol "INTT." The following table sets forth the high and low sale prices of our common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market, for the periods indicated. Sale prices have been rounded to the nearest full cent.

On June 15, 2009, the closing price for our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market was $0.20. As of June 15, 2009, we had 10,057,706 shares outstanding that were held by approximately 800 beneficial and record holders.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock since our initial public offering in 1997, and we do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current policy is to retain any future earnings for reinvestment in the operation and expansion of our business, including possible acquisitions of other businesses, technologies or products. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors. In addition, our current credit agreement prohibits us from paying cash dividends without the lender's prior consent.

We are not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ due to the late filing of this Report and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2009. Consequently, our common shares could be delisted from trading on NASDAQ, which could materially adversely affect the liquidity of our common shares, the price of our common shares and our ability to raise additional capital.
