| · | Revenue<br> in the first quarter of 2022 increased 27% to $2.0 million from $1.6 million in<br> the same year-ago period, primarily due to higher demand of our custom products in the medical<br> market and for our standard products, offset by lower shipments of our custom products in<br> the consumer market. Demand in the medical market continues to recover from the restrictive<br> effects of the pandemic which previously impacted our customers’ ability to install<br> devices in hospitals, while the decrease in shipments to our consumer market customers was<br> primarily due to a design change by one of our largest consumer products customers. |
|---|---|
| · | Gross<br> margin increased to 62.3% in the current quarter from 55.7% in the year-ago quarter. Gross<br> margin is impacted by our sales volume, the mix of products and customers, and production<br> efficiencies. |
| --- | --- |
| · | Income/loss<br> from operations was an operating income of $18 thousand for the first quarter of 2022,<br> compared with an operating loss of $60 thousand in the same period in 2021. Operating<br> income/loss was impacted by higher operating expenses in the current quarter due to increased<br> engineering and administrative headcount and increased professional fees, and due to the<br> prior year having included the $186 thousand benefit from forgiveness of the PPP loan. |
| --- | --- |
| · | In<br> the first quarter of 2022, after-tax net income/loss was net income of $142 thousand,<br> or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $43 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted<br> share, in the same year-ago period. |

| · | Interlink<br> ended the quarter with $8.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $2.3 million<br> in marketable securities. |
