Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 to Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2013 (the “Initial 8-K”) by LTX-Credence Corporation (the “Company”), as amended on February 12, 2014 (“Amendment No. 1”) and further amended on March 26, 2014 (“Amendment No. 2”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to replace the unaudited combined financial statements of Everett Charles Technologies as of and for the nine month interim period ended September 30, 2013 (the “ECT Unaudited Interim Financial Statements”) that were previously filed under Item 9.01(a) of Amendment No. 1 as Exhibit 99.2 thereto relating to periods prior to the closing of the Company’s purchase of assets from Dover Printing & Identification, Inc. (“Dover”) and its specified affiliates used exclusively or primarily in connection with Dover’s ECT and Multitest businesses (the “Acquired Businesses”) on December 1, 2013.

Subsequent to the filing of Amendment No. 2, the Company determined that certain adjustments had not been properly reflected in the ECT Unaudited Interim Financial Statements. In particular, these adjustments included reclassification of debt forgiveness income from results of operations to equity, recognition of depreciation and amortization expense, as well as various other adjustments for corporate allocations and other intercompany consolidation entries. As a result, the ECT Unaudited Interim Financial Statements have been restated as follows:

The combined statement of cash flows for the nine month interim period ended September 30, 2013 has also been restated as a result of the above noted adjustments. In this regard, cash flow from operations was restated to $13,863, as compared to the previously stated figure of $31,006; cash used in investing activities was restated to ($4,135) as compared to the previously stated figure of ($2,425); and cash flows from financing activities was restated from $2,649 as compared to the previously stated figure of ($15,418).

Except as described herein, all other information in the Initial 8-K, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 remains unchanged.

The Company hereby amends Exhibit 99.2 of Amendment No. 1 with the restated ECT Unaudited Interim Financial Statements in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, which restates and supersedes in its entirety the ECT Unaudited Interim Financial Statements set forth in Exhibit 99.2 of Amendment No. 1.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated by reference in its entirety herein, are the unaudited restated combined financial statements of the Acquired Businesses of Dover Parent as follows:

See Exhibit Index attached hereto.
