On May 27, 2008, John A. Buckett, II, Chairman and interim Chief Executive Officer of Interlink Electronics, Inc. announced to Interlinks employees that, in connection with the reorganization discussed in Item 8.01 below, effective as of June 30, 2008 (i) Mr. Buckett has elected to forego receiving a monthly salary from Interlink for his services as interim Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) each of Interlinks three other executive officers, Mr. Charles Best, Mr. Rod Vesling and Mr. Farhad Rostamian, has taken a 10% reduction in his monthly salary, as Interlink works towards two consecutive quarters of cash-flow positive operations.
ITEM 8.01. | OTHER EVENTS. |
Interlink announced to its employees on May 27, 2008, that it is undertaking an internal reorganization of resources in an effort to obtain cash flow profitability in the second half of 2008. As part of the reorganization, 14 full-time employees and 30 part-time employees were given notice on May 27, 2008 that their employment with Interlink was terminated effective immediately.

As discussed in Item 5.02 above, which is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference, the monthly salaries of Interlinks executive officers will be reduced or eliminated effective as of June 30, 2008. The company expects to realize an annual cost savings of more than $2 million as a result of the changes effected by the reorganization and to generate $24 to $28 million in revenue for fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, consistent with its earlier guidance for 2008.
