INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations: Invacare Corporation is a leading manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment used in the home or institutional setting based upon the Company’s distribution channels, breadth of product line and net sales. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive line of health care products for the non-acute care environment, including the home health care, retail and extended care markets.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and include all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and changes in its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries, represented by the European segment, are consolidated using a May 31 quarter end in order to meet filing deadlines. No material subsequent events have occurred related to the European segment, which would require disclosure or adjustment to the Company's financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.  The results of operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates: The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 in the first quarter of 2014 with no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets or Statement of Cash Flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-11 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. This standard must be prospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. If applicable, this standard will change the presentation of the Company's financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires five steps to be applied: 1) identify the contract(s) with customers, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocated the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires both quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which are more comprehensive than existing revenue standards. The disclosures are intended to enable financial statement users to

FS-4

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

understand the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flow. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements.

Discontinued Operations

On December 21, 2012, as part of the Company's globalization strategy, and to allow it to focus on its core equipment product lines, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Invacare Supply Group (ISG) and accordingly, the Company determined on that date that the "held for sale" criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9 were met. On January 18, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the ISG medical supplies business to AssuraMed, Inc. for a purchase price of $150,800,000 in cash. ISG had been operated on a stand-alone basis and reported as a reportable segment of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $59,402,000 pre-tax in the first quarter of 2013 which represented the excess of the net sales price over the book value of the assets and liabilities of ISG, excluding cash. The sale of this business was dilutive to the Company's results. The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2013. The Company recorded expenses related to the sale of $5,350,000, of which $5,227,000 were paid as of June 30, 2014. The net sales and earnings before income taxes of the ISG discontinued operation were $18,498,000 and $402,000, retrospectively, for the six months endedJune 30, 2013.

On August 6, 2013, the Company sold Champion Manufacturing, Inc. (Champion), its domestic medical recliner business for dialysis clinics, to Champion Equity Holdings, LLC for $45,000,000 in cash, which is subject to final post-closing adjustments. Champion had been operated on a stand-alone basis and reported as part of the IPG segment of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $22,761,000 pre-tax in the third quarter of 2013, which represented the excess of the net sales price over the book value of the assets and liabilities of Champion. The sale of this business was dilutive to the Company's results. The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility in the third quarter of 2013. The Company recorded expenses related to the sale of $2,130,000, of which $1,542,000 were paid as of June 30, 2014. The gain recorded by the Company reflects the Company's estimated final purchase adjustments.

The net sales and earnings before income taxes of the Champion discontinued operation were $13,214,000 and $2,672,000for the six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively. Results for Champion include an interest expense allocation from continuing operations to discontinued operations of $371,000for the six months endedJune 30, 2013 as proceeds from the sale were required to be utilized to pay down debt. The interest allocation was based on the net proceeds assumed to pay down debt applying the Company's average interest rates for the periods presented.

The Company recorded an incremental intra-period tax allocation expense to discontinued operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2013 representing the cumulative intra-period allocation expense to discontinued operations based on the Company's June 30, 2013 estimate of the projected domestic taxable loss related to continuing operations for 2013.

The Company has classified ISG and Champion as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Receivables

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long term care facilities located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe. A significant portion of products sold to providers, both foreign and domestic, is ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts ($16,022,000 at June 30, 2014 and $17,715,000 at December 31, 2013) is based primarily on management’s evaluation of the financial condition of specific customers. In addition, as a result of the financing arrangement with De Lage Landen, Inc. ("DLL"), a third party financing company which the Company has worked with since 2000, management monitors the collection status of these contracts in accordance with the Company’s limited recourse obligations and provides amounts necessary for estimated losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts and establishing reserves for specific customers as needed. The Company charges off uncollectible trade accounts receivable after such receivables are moved to collection status and legal remedies are exhausted. See Concentration of Credit Risk in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the financing arrangement. Long-term installment receivables are included in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheet.

FS-5

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

The Company’s U.S. customers electing to finance their purchases can do so using DLL. In addition, the Company often provides financing directly for its Canadian customers for which DLL is not an option, as DLL typically provides financing to Canadian customers only on a limited basis. The installment receivables recorded on the books of the Company represent a single portfolio segment of finance receivables to the independent provider channel and long-term care customers. The portfolio segment is comprised of two classes of receivables distinguished by geography and credit quality. The U.S. installment receivables are the first class and represent installment receivables re-purchased from DLL because the customers were in default. Default with DLL is defined as a customer being delinquent by 3 payments. The Canadian installment receivables represent the second class of installment receivables which were originally financed by the Company because third party financing was not available to the HME providers. The Canadian installment receivables are typically financed for 12 months and historically have had a very low risk of default.

The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts and evaluation for impairment for both classes of installment receivables is based on the Company’s quarterly review of the financial condition of each individual customer with the allowance for doubtful accounts adjusted accordingly. Installments are individually and not collectively reviewed for impairment. The Company assesses the bad debt reserve levels based upon the status of the customer’s adherence to a legally negotiated payment schedule and the Company’s ability to enforce judgments, liens, etc.

For purposes of granting or extending credit, the Company utilizes a scoring model to generate a composite score that considers each customer’s consumer credit score and/or D&B credit rating, payment history, security collateral and time in business. Additional analysis is performed for customers desiring credit greater than $250,000, which generally includes a detailed review of the customer’s financials as well as consideration of other factors such as exposure to changing reimbursement laws.

Interest income is recognized on installment receivables based on the terms of the installment agreements. Installment accounts are monitored and if a customer defaults on payments and is moved to collection, interest income is no longer recognized. Subsequent payments received once an account is put on non-accrual status are generally first applied to the principal balance and then to the interest. Accruing of interest on collection accounts would only be restarted if the account became current again. All installment accounts are accounted for using the same methodology regardless of the duration of the installment agreements. When an account is placed in collection status, the Company goes through a legal process of adjudication which typically approximates eighteen months. Any write-offs are made after the legal process has been completed. The Company has not made any changes to either its accounting policies or methodology to estimation allowances for doubtful accounts in the last twelve months.

Installment receivables consist of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014									December 31, 2013
	Current			Long- Term			Total			Current			Long- Term			Total
Installment receivables	$	3,184		$	6,104		$	9,288		$	3,242		$	5,677		$	8,919

Installment receivables purchased from DLL during the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased the gross installment receivables balance by $1,688,000. No sales of installment receivables were made by the Company during the quarter.

The movement in the installment receivables allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows (in thousands):

The goodwill change reflected on the balance sheet from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was due to foreign currency translation.

Other Intangibles

All of the Company’s other intangible assets have been assigned definite lives and continue to be amortized over their useful lives, except for $31,783,000 related to trademarks, which have indefinite lives. The changes in intangible balances reflected on the balance sheet from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014 were the result of foreign currency translation and amortization. The Company's intangibles consist of the following (in thousands):

Salaries and wages	$	34,778	$	40,252
Taxes other than income taxes, primarily Value Added Taxes	24,863		24,525

Severance	3,491		3,986
Other items, principally trade accruals	12,930		13,126
	$	128,736	$	133,100

Accrued rebates relate to several volume incentive programs the Company offers its customers. The Company accounts for these rebates as a reduction of revenue when the products are sold in accordance with the guidance in ASC 605-50, Customer Payments and Incentives.

Generally, the Company's products are covered by warranties against defects in material and workmanship for various periods depending on the product from the date of sales to the customer. Certain components carry a lifetime warranty. A provision for estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time of sale based upon actual experience. The Company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accrual and makes adjustments as needed. Historical analysis is primarily used to determine the Company's warranty reserves. Claims history is reviewed and provisions are adjusted as needed. However, the Company does consider other events, such as a product recall, which could warrant additional warranty reserve provision. The increase in the liability for pre-existing warranties in 2014 is primarily the result of product recalls. The warranty accrual as of June 30, 2014 includes additional warranty expense related to the power wheelchair joystick recall of $2,237,000 ($2,100,000 after-tax) provided for during the first quarter of 2014, which impacted the North America/HME segment by $1,171,000 after-tax and the Asia/Pacific segment by $929,000 after-tax. The increase in the Company's estimate of total cost related to this matter is attributable to higher than previously anticipated response rates from larger customers in United States and Canada. As previously indicated, the reserve is subject to adjustments as new developments change the Company's estimate of the total cost of this matter.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands):

Balance as of January 1, 2014	$	27,393
Warranties provided during the period	6,964

	$	53,660		$	31,184

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, the other Borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which amended and restated the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2010, by and among the Company and the other parties named therein, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for the following:

• An increase in the maximum leverage ratio for the first three quarters of 2014, with quarterly ratios as described in the following table:

Fiscal Quarter Ending	Maximum Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2014	4.75	to	1.00
June 30, 2014	4.50	to	1.00
September 30, 2014	4.00	to	1.00
December 31, 2014 and thereafter	3.50	to	1.00

The quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio remains 3.50 to 1.00 in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

• In calculating the Company’s EBITDA for purposes of determining the leverage and interest coverage ratios, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows the Company to add back to EBITDA up to $20,000,000 for one-time cash restructuring charges incurred after May 30, 2013, which is an incremental increase of $5,000,000 from the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

• A decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $100,000,000 from $250,000,000 through the maturity date of the facility in October 2015, as well as reductions in the facility’s swing line loan, optional currency and foreign borrower sublimits.

• Reductions in the allowances under the facility for capital expenditures (down to $25,000,000 annually), dividends, other indebtedness and liens.

• Further restrictions on acquisitions, share repurchases, certain investments and repurchases of convertible debt until after the Company confirms compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement following the quarter ending December 31, 2014.

• An increase of 25 basis points in the margin applicable to determining the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As a result of the amendment, the Company incurred $351,000 in fees in the first quarter of 2014 which were capitalized and are being amortized through October, 2015. In addition, as a result of reducing the capacity of the facility from $250,000,000 to $100,000,000, the Company wrote-off $1,070,000 in previously capitalized fees in the first quarter of 2014, which is reflected in the expense of the North America / HME segment.

In 2007, the Company issued $135,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027. The debentures are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, pay interest at 4.125% per annum on each February 1 and August 1, and are convertible upon satisfaction

of certain conditions into cash, common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The debentures allow the Company to satisfy the conversion using any combination of cash or stock, and at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to satisfy the accreted value of the debentures using cash. Assuming adequate cash on hand at the time of conversion, the Company also intends to satisfy the conversion spread using cash, as opposed to stock.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

The liability components of the Company’s convertible debt consist of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Principal amount of liability component	$	13,350		$	13,350
Unamortized discount	(2,364		)	(2,709		)
Net carrying amount of liability component	$	10,986		$	10,641

Shareholders’ Equity Transactions

On May 16, 2013, the shareholders of the Company approved the Invacare Corporation 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was adopted on March 27, 2013 by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board adopted the 2013 Plan because the ten-year term of the Company's prior equity plan, the Invacare Corporation Amended and Restated 2003 Performance Plan (the “2003 Plan”), expired on May 21, 2013. No new awards will be granted under the 2003 Plan following its expiration, but awards granted prior to its expiration will remain in effect under their original terms.

The 2013 Plan uses a fungible share-counting method, under which each common share underlying an award of stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) will count against the number of total shares available under the 2013 Plan as one share; and each common share underlying any award other than a stock option or a SAR will count against the number of total shares available under the 2013 Plan as two shares. Any common shares that are added back to the 2013 Plan as the result of the cancellation or forfeiture of an award granted under the 2013 Plan will be added back in the same manner such shares were originally counted against the total number of shares available under the 2013 Plan. Each common share that is added back to the 2013 Plan due to a cancellation or forfeiture of an award granted under the 2003 Plan will be added back as one common share.

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), in its discretion, may grant an award under the 2013 Plan to any director or employee of the Company or an affiliate. The 2013 Plan initially allows the Compensation Committee to grant up to 4,460,337 common shares in connection with the following types of

FS-12

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

awards with respect to shares of the Company's common shares: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, and performance shares. The Compensation Committee also may grant performance units that are payable in cash. The Committee has the authority to determine which participants will receive awards, the amount of the awards and the other terms and conditions of the awards. 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $15,415,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company's 2013 Plan and previous plans, which is related to non-vested options and shares, and includes $6,490,000 related to restricted stock awards, $6,148,000 related to non-qualified stock options and $2,777,000 related to performance share awards. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in actual and estimated forfeitures and for updated vesting assumptions for the performance share awards (see "Performance Shares and Performance Share Units" below). No tax benefit for share-based compensation was realized during 2014 or 2013 as a result of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The amount of amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized under the provisions of Compensation-Stock Compensation, ASC 718 was as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,

Stock Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Compensation Committee granted 8,977 non-qualified stock options. Generally, non-qualified stock option awards typically have a term of ten years and are granted at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. Compensation expense of $1,356,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to stock options previously awarded. The Company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

Total	4,354,708	5.2	$	24.02	3,095,001	$	26.95

When stock options have been awarded, they generally become exercisable over a four -year vesting period whereby options vest in equal installments each year. Options granted with graded vesting are accounted for as single options. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life. The assumed expected life is based on the Company's historical analysis of option history. The expected stock price volatility is also based on actual historical volatility, and expected dividend yield is based on historical dividends as the Company has no current intention of changing its dividend policy.

The 2013 Plan provides that shares granted come from the Company's authorized but unissued common shares or treasury shares. In addition, the Company's stock-based compensation plans allow employee participants to exchange shares for minimum withholding taxes, which results in the Company acquiring treasury shares.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 193,534 restricted shares and restricted share units (for non-U.S. recipients) were granted without cost to the recipients, 25,016 restricted shares were forfeited, and 27,925 restricted shares vested. The awards granted during the first quarter are subject to three year cliff vesting and thus vest in their entirety on May 15, 2017. The awards of restricted shares/units are classified as equity awards as they are issued as common shares, or will be settled in common shares upon vesting. The fair value of the awards is based on the stock price on the date of grant discounted for the estimated value of dividends foregone as the awards are not eligible for dividends except to the extent vested. The fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20.01 per share. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the service period and $867,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to restricted shares/units and there were shares/units outstanding totaling 558,271 shares that were not vested. The Company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

Performance Shares and Performance Share Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 152,800 performance shares and performance share units (for non-U.S. recipients) were granted as performance awards with a 3 year performance period with payouts based on achievement of certain performance goals. There was no vesting of performance awards during the period and 7,400 awards were cancelled. The awards are classified as equity awards as they will be settled in common shares upon vesting. The number of shares earned will be determined at the end of the performance period based on achievement of performance criteria for January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant. Recipients will be entitled to receive a number of common shares equal to the number of performance shares that vest based upon the levels of achievement which may range between 0% and 150% of the target number of shares with the target being 100% of the initial grant.

The fair value of the performance awards is based on the stock price on the date of grant discounted for the estimated value of dividends foregone as the awards are not eligible for dividends except to the extent vested. The fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20.05 per share. The Company assesses the probability that the performance targets will be met with expense recognized whenever it is probable that at least the minimum performance criteria will be achieved. Depending upon the Company's assessment of the probability of achievement of the goals, the Company may not recognize any expense associated with performance awards in a given period, may reverse prior expense recorded or record additional expense to make up for expense not recorded in a prior period. Compensation expense of $247,000 was recognized during the six months

Charges Related to Restructuring Activities

The Company's restructuring charges recorded since 2011 were necessitated primarily by continued declines in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement by the U.S. government, as well as similar healthcare reimbursement pressures abroad, which negatively affect the Company's customers (e.g. home health care providers) and continued pricing pressures faced by the Company as a result of outsourcing by competitors to lower cost locations. In addition, restructuring decisions were also the result of reduced profitability in the North America/HME segment impacted by the FDA consent decree. While the Company's restructuring efforts have been executed on a timely basis resulting in operating cost savings, the savings have been more than offset by continued margin decline, principally as a result of product mix, reduced volumes and regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements which are unrelated to the restructuring actions. The Company expects any near-term cost savings from restructuring will be offset by the continued investment in regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements at least until the Company has completed its quality systems remediation efforts, and reduced net sales in the North America/HME segment at least until the Company has successfully completed the previously described third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection and has received written notification from the FDA that the Company may resume full operations.

The Company's restructuring commenced in the second quarter of 2011 with the Company's decision to close the Hong, Denmark assembly facility as part of the Company's ongoing globalization initiative to reduce complexity in the Company's supply chain, which is intended to reduce expenses to help offset pricing pressures. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company continued to execute on the closure of the Hong, Denmark assembly facility and initiated the closure of a smaller facility in the U.S. Charges for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were primarily incurred at the Company's corporate headquarters for severance, with additional costs incurred as a result of the closure of the Hong, Denmark facility. The facility closures were completed in 2012 in addition to the elimination of various positions principally in the North America/Home Medical Equipment (HME) and Asia/Pacific segments.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $10,534,000 including charges for severance ($8,352,000), contract exit costs primarily related to the closure of the Hong, Denmark assembly facility ($1,788,000) and inventory write-offs ($277,000) recorded in cost of products sold and other miscellaneous costs ($117,000). The majority of the 2011 North America/HME charges were incurred for severance, primarily at the corporate headquarters as the result of the elimination of various positions principally in sales and administration in Elyria, Ohio. These eliminations were permanent reductions in workforce which primarily resulted

FS-16

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. In Europe, the charges were the result of the closure of the Company's Hong, Denmark facility. The assembly activities were transferred to other Company facilities or outsourced to third parties. This closure enabled the Company to reduce fixed operating costs related to the facility and reduce headcount with the transfer of a portion of the production to other Company facilities. The 2011 charges have now been paid out and were funded with operating cash flows.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $11,395,000 including charges for severance ($6,775,000), lease termination costs ($1,725,000), building and asset write-downs, primarily related to the closure of the Hong, Denmark assemblyfacility, and other miscellaneous charges in Europe and Asia/Pacific ($2,404,000) and inventory write-offs ($491,000) in Asia/Pacific recorded in cost of products sold. Severance charges were primarily incurred in the North America/HME segment ($4,242,000), Asia/Pacific segment ($1,681,000) and Europe segment ($817,000). The charges were incurred as a result of the elimination of various positions as part of the Company's globalization initiatives. In addition, a portion of the North America/HME segment severance was related to positions eliminated, principally in sales and marketing as well as manufacturing, at the Company's Taylor Street facility as a result of the FDA consent decree. The savings from these charges have been reflected primarily in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and manufacturing expenses for the Company. In Europe, positions were eliminated as a result of finalizing the exit from the manufacturing facility in Denmark and an elimination of a senior management position in Switzerland. In Asia/Pacific, at the end of October 2012, the Company's management approved a plan to restructure the Company's operations in this segment. In Australia, the Company consolidated offices / warehouses, decreased staffing and exited various activities while returning to a focus on distribution. At the Company's subsidiary, which produces microprocessor controllers, the Company decided to cease the contract manufacturing business for companies outside of the healthcare industry. Payments for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $9,381,000 and were funded with operating cash flows. The majority of the 2012 charges have now been paid out.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $9,336,000 including charges for severance ($8,282,000), lease termination costs ($698,000) and other miscellaneous charges principally in North America/HME ($356,000). Severance charges were primarily incurred in the North America/HME segment ($5,405,000), Europe segment ($1,640,000) and Asia/Pacific segment ($970,000). The charges were incurred as a result of the elimination of various positions as part of the Company's globalization initiatives. North America/HME segment severance was principally related to positions eliminated due to lost sales volumes resulting from the impact of the FDA consent decree. The savings from these charges have been reflected primarily in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and manufacturing expenses for the Company. In Europe, severance was incurred for the elimination of certain sales and supply chain positions. In Asia/Pacific, severance was principally incurred at the Company's microprocessor controller production subsidiary as a result of the Company's decision in 2012 to cease the contract manufacturing business for companies outside of the healthcare industry. The lease termination costs were principally related to Australia as a result of the restructuring announced in 2012. Payments for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $11,844,000 and were funded with operating cash flows and cash on hand. The majority of the 2013 charges are expected to be paid out in 2014.

Restructuring continued during 2014 resulting in restructuring charges of $4,330,000 in the first six months of 2014 related to severance costs ($2,818,000) and other costs ($1,512,000), which principally included building write-downs in the Europe and IPG segments. The severance costs were incurred principally in the NA/HME segment, and to a lesser extent the Europe and IPG segments. The building write-down in the IPG segment was associated with the previously announced closure of the London, Canada facility. The building write-down in the European segment was associated with a facility in Sweden, which the Company exited in 2011. Payments for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $4,975,000 and were funded with the Company's credit facility. The majority of the outstanding charge accruals at June 30, 2014 are expected to be paid out within the next twelve months.

There have been no material changes in accrued balances related to the charges, either as a result of revisions in the plan or changes in estimates. In addition, the savings anticipated as a result of the Company's restructuring plans have been or are expected to be achieved, primarily resulting in reduced salary and benefit costs principally impacting Selling, General and Administrative expenses, and to a lesser extent, Costs of Products Sold. However, to date, these savings have been more than offset by continued margin decline, principally as a result of product mix, and higher regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements and reduced net sales volumes primarily related to mobility and seating products impacted by the consent decree, which are unrelated to the restructuring actions.

Income Taxes

The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 29.2% and 20.2% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, compared to an expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to the negative impact of the Company not being able to record tax benefits related to the significant losses in countries which had tax valuation allowances. The rate benefitted by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 76.6% and 11.6% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to losses overseas without tax benefit due to valuation allowances and an adjustment to the domestic intraperiod tax allocation due to the impact of a discrete tax expense of $9,702,000 ($0.30 per share) related to dividends for earnings previously deemed permanently reinvested overseas received in the U.S. during the second quarter. The rate benefitted by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances that were in losses in 2013, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

At June 30, 2014, 3,578,173 and 3,172,393 shares associated with stock options were excluded from the average common shares assuming dilution for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 as they were anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2014, the majority of the anti-dilutive shares were granted at an exercise price of $41.87, which was higher than the average fair market value prices of $16.98 and $18.74, respectively, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014. At June 30, 2013, 4,929,913 and 4,861,512 shares associated with stock options were excluded from the average common shares assuming dilution for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 as they were anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2013, the majority of the anti-dilutive shares were granted at an exercise price of $41.87, which was higher than the average fair market value prices of $13.85 and $14.60, respectively, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013. For the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, there were no shares necessary to settle a conversion spread on the convertible notes to be included in the common shares assuming dilution as the average market price of the Company stock for these periods did not exceed the conversion price.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company manufactures and distributes durable medical equipment to the home health care, retail and extended care markets. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company utilizes De Lage Landen, Inc. (“DLL”), a third party financing company, to provide the majority of future lease financing to the Company’s North America customers. The DLL agreement provides for direct leasing between DLL and the Invacare customer. The Company retains a recourse obligation of $4,897,000 at June 30, 2014 to DLL for events of default under the contracts, which total $36,824,000 at June 30, 2014. The Company's recourse is re-evaluated by DLL biannually, considers activity between the biannual dates and

FS-21

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

excludes any receivables repurchased by the Company from DLL. The Company monitors the collections status of these contracts and has provided amounts for estimated losses in its allowances for doubtful accounts in accordance with Receivables, ASC 310-10-05-4. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements.

Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long term care facilities located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe. A significant portion of products sold to dealers, both foreign and domestic, is ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Company has also seen a significant shift in reimbursement to customers from managed care entities. As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability. In addition, reimbursement guidelines in the home health care industry have a substantial impact on the nature and type of equipment an end user can obtain as well as the timing of reimbursement and, thus, affect the product mix, pricing and payment patterns of the Company’s customers.

Derivatives

ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative is dependent upon whether or not the derivative has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment and the type of hedging relationship. For derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

The Company uses derivative instruments in an attempt to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. Foreign forward exchange contracts are used to manage the price risk associated with forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies and the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of inventory over the next twelve months. Interest rate swaps are, at times, utilized to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings.

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value. A majority of the Company’s derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

During a portion of 2014 and all of 2013, the Company was a party to interest rate swap agreements that qualified as cash flow hedges and effectively converted floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, so the Company could avoid the risk of changes in market interest rates. The gains or losses on interest rate swaps are reflected in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

To protect against increases/decreases in forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from inventory purchases/sales over the next year, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of its forecasted purchases/sales denominated in foreign currencies. The gains and losses are included in cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). If it is later determined that a hedged forecasted transaction is unlikely to occur, any prospective gains or losses on the forward contracts would be recognized in earnings. The Company does not expect any material amount of hedge ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges during the next twelve months.

The Company has historically not recognized any material amount of ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges because the Company generally limits its hedges to between 60% and 90% of total forecasted transactions for a given entity’s exposure to currency rate changes and the transactions hedged are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the majority of the hedged transactions are related to intercompany sales and purchases for which settlement occurs on a specific day each month. Forward contracts with a total notional amount in USD of $41,504,000 and $75,127,000 matured for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 compared to forward contracts with a total notional amount in USD of $47,179,000 and $80,673,000 that matured for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013.

Derivatives Not Qualifying or Designated for Hedge Accounting Treatment

The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges in accordance with ASC 815. These contracts are entered into to eliminate the risk associated with the settlement of short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables between Invacare Corporation and its foreign subsidiaries. The currency forward contracts are entered into at the same time as the intercompany receivables or payables are created so that upon settlement, the gain/loss on the settlement is offset by the gain/loss on the foreign currency forward contract. No material net gain or loss was realized by the Company in 2014 or 2013 related to these contracts and the associated short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables.

The gains or losses recognized as the result of the settlement of cash flow hedge foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in net sales for hedges of inventory sales and in cost of product sold for hedges of inventory purchases. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, net sales were decreased by $138,000 and $148,000 while cost of product sold was increased by $251,000 and $384,000 for net pre-tax realized losses of $389,000 and $532,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net sales were increased by $306,000 and $442,000 while cost of product sold was decreased by $31,000 and increased by $325,000 for net realized pre-tax gains of $337,000 and $117,000, respectively.

The Company recognized pre-tax expense of $12,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to pre-tax expense of $59,000 and $126,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements, which is reflected in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

A gain of $201,000 and a loss of $144,000 were recognized in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, compared to gains of $1,427,000 and $256,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, on ineffective forward contracts and forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments that were entered into to offset gains/losses that were also recorded in SG&A expenses on intercompany trade receivables or payables. Any gains/losses on the non-designated hedging instruments were substantially offset by gains/losses also recorded in SG&A expenses on intercompany trade payables.

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and, at times, interest rate swap contracts (the “agreements”) with various bank counterparties, each of which are subject to provisions which are similar to a master netting agreement. The agreements provide for a net settlement payment in a single currency upon a default by the Company. Furthermore, the agreements provide the counterparty with a right of set off in the event of a default that would enable the counterparty to offset any net payment due by the counterparty to the Company under the applicable agreement by any amount due by the Company to the counterparty under any other agreement. For example, the terms of the agreement would permit a counterparty to a derivative contract that is also a lender under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to reduce any derivative settlement amounts owed to the Company under the derivative contract by any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, the agreements contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a default by the Company under the agreement in the event of a default by the Company under another agreement with the same counterparty. The Company does not present any derivatives on a net basis in its financial statements and all derivative balances presented are subject to provisions that are similar to master netting agreements.

Fair Values

Pursuant to ASC 820, the inputs used to derive the fair value of assets and liabilities are analyzed and assigned a level I, II or III priority, with level I being the highest and level III being the lowest in the hierarchy. Level I inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level II inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets: quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level III inputs are based on valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis (in thousands).

Forward Contracts: The Company operates internationally and as a result is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Specifically, the exposure includes intercompany loans and third party sales or payments. In an attempt to reduce this exposure, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized and accounted for as hedging instruments. The forward contracts are used to hedge the following currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, MXP, NOK, NZD, SEK and USD. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Fair values for the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities.

The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash, cash equivalents: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents equals its fair value.

Other investments: The Company has made other investments in limited partnerships and non-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for using the cost method, adjusted for any estimated declines in value. These investments were acquired in private placements and there are no quoted market prices or stated rates of return. The Company does not have the ability to easily sell these investments.

Installment receivables: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for installment receivables approximates its fair value. The interest rates associated with these receivables have not varied significantly since inception. Management believes that after consideration of the credit risk, the net book value of the installment receivables approximates market value.

Long-term debt: Fair values for the Company’s convertible debt is based on quoted market-based estimates as of the end of the period, while the revolving credit facility fair values are based upon the Company’s estimate of the market for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Forward contracts and interest rate swaps: Fair values for the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities, while the fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on model-derived calculations using inputs that are observable in active markets.

Business Segments

The Company operates in four primary business segments: North America/Home Medical Equipment (North America/HME), Institutional Products Group (IPG), Europe and Asia/Pacific.

The North America/HME segment sells each of three primary product lines, which includes: lifestyle, mobility and seating and respiratory therapy products. IPG sells or rents long-term care medical equipment, health care furnishings and accessory products. Europe and Asia/Pacific sell product lines similar to North America/HME and IPG.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes for each reportable segment. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are based on the costs to manufacture plus a reasonable profit element. Therefore, intercompany profit or loss on intersegment sales and transfers is not considered in evaluating segment performance except for Asia/Pacific due to its significant intercompany sales volume relative to the segment.

Contingencies

General

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, primarily product liability actions in which various plaintiffs seek damages for injuries allegedly caused by defective products. All of the product liability lawsuits that the Company faces in the United States have been referred to the Company's captive insurance company and/or excess insurance carriers while all non-U.S. lawsuits have been referred to the Company's commercial insurance carriers. All such lawsuits are generally contested vigorously. The coverage territory of the Company's insurance is worldwide with the exception of those countries with respect to which, at the time the product is sold for use or at the time a claim is made, the U.S. government has suspended or prohibited diplomatic or trade relations. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures.

As a medical device manufacturer, the Company is subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, invoicing, documenting and other practices of health care suppliers and manufacturers are all subject to government scrutiny. Most

of the Company's facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA or similar agencies in other jurisdictions. Violations of law or regulations can result in administrative, civil and criminal penalties and sanctions, including disqualification from Medicare and other reimbursement programs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

On November 15, 2013, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on May 24, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch and A. Malachi Mixon III in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to properly disclose the issues that the Company has faced with the FDA. The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for purchasers of the Company's common shares between July 22, 2010 and December 7, 2011. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On February 14, 2014, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on August 26, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch, A. Malachi Mixon III and Patricia Stumpp, as well as outside directors Dale C. LaPorte, Michael F. Delaney and Charles S. Robb, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated the Employment Retirement Security Act (ERISA) in the administration and maintenance of the Company stock fund in the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) Plan). The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for participants in the Company's stock fund of the 401(k) Plan between July 22, 2010 and the present. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Medical Device Regulatory Matters

The FDA regulates virtually all aspects of the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, distribution and marketing of a medical device. The Company and its products are subject to the laws and regulations of the FDA and other regulatory bodies in the various jurisdictions where the Company's products are manufactured or sold. The Company's failure to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other applicable medical device regulatory requirements can subject the Company to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions. These sanctions include injunctions, consent decrees, warning letters, civil penalties, criminal penalties, product seizure or detention, product recalls and total or partial suspension of production.

In December 2012, the Company reached agreement with the FDA on the terms of the consent decree of injunction with respect to the Company's Corporate facility and its Taylor Street wheelchair manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. A complaint and consent decree were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and on December 21, 2012, the Court approved the consent decree and it became effective. The consent decree limits the Company's manufacture and distribution of power and manual wheelchairs, wheelchair components and wheelchair sub-assemblies at or from its Taylor Street manufacturing facility. The decree also temporarily limited design activities related to wheelchairs and power beds that take place at the impacted Elyria, Ohio facilities. The Company is entitled to continue to produce from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility certain medically necessary wheelchairs provided that documentation and record-keeping requirements are followed, as well as ongoing replacement, service and repair of products already in use, under terms delineated in the consent decree. Under the terms of the consent decree, in order to resume full operations at the impacted facilities, the Company must successfully complete a third-party expert certification audit at the impacted Elyria facilities, which is comprised of three distinct reports that must be submitted to, and accepted by, the FDA. After the final certification report is submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report as to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the Quality System Regulation (QSR) governing the manufacture of medical devices and the terms of the consent decree. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

During 2013, the Company completed the first two of the expert certification audits, and the FDA found the results of both to be acceptable. In these reports, the third-party expert certified that the Company's equipment and process validation procedures and its design control systems are compliant with the FDA's QSR. As a result of the FDA's acceptance of the first certification report on May 13, 2013, the Taylor Street facility was able to resume supplying parts and components for the further manufacturing of medical devices at other Company facilities. The Company's receipt of the FDA's acceptance of the second certification report on July 15, 2013, resulted in the Company being able to resume design activities at the impacted facilities related to power wheelchairs and power beds.

The third, most comprehensive expert certification audit is a comprehensive review of the Company's compliance with the FDA's QSR at the impacted Elyria facilities. At the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is continuing its work with the third-party expert auditor on the final certification audit process. This audit is the most comprehensive and

FS-29

INVACARE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

challenging of the three expert certification audits, and it encompasses all areas of the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street quality system. The Company needs to better demonstrate that its quality system is sustainably compliant and that each subsystem is properly integrated. In order to address these needs, the Company as engaged additional consultants to help improve the functionality and capabilities of certain of its quality subsystems. The Company respects the comprehensive nature of the audit process and is working diligently to be in a position to ultimately demonstrate compliance to the third-party expert auditor and subsequently, the FDA.

The Company cannot predict the timing of the completion or the outcome of the third-party expert’s final certification report. However, after the expert's certification report is completed and submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report related to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the FDA's QSR and the consent decree. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

After resumption of full operations, the Company must undergo five years of audits by a third-party expert auditor to determine whether the facilities are in continuous compliance with FDA's QSR and the consent decree. The auditor will inspect the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities’ activities every six months during the first year following the resumption of full operations and then every 12 months for the next four years thereafter.

As described above, because the limitations on production are expected to be temporary in nature, and partial production is allowed, the Company does not anticipate any major repair, replacement or scrapping of its fixed assets at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. Based on the Company's expectations at the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the utilization of such raw material and with respect to expected future cash flows from production at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility, the Company concluded that there is no impairment in the value of the fixed assets related to the Taylor Street manufacturing facility at June 30, 2014.

The majority of the production from the Taylor Street facility is "made to order" custom wheelchairs for customers and, as a result, there was not a significant amount of finished goods inventory on hand at June 30, 2014, and the inventory is expected to be fully utilized. Accordingly, the Company concluded that there was not an impairment of the work in process and finished goods at the Taylor Street facility at June 30, 2014. Further, based on its analysis of the raw material inventory at the Taylor Street facility and the Company's expectations at the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the time frame for completion of the third-party expert certification audits and FDA inspection, the Company concluded that the value of the inventory was not excessive or impaired at June 30, 2014. However, if the Company's expectations regarding the impacts of the limitations in the consent decree or the time frame for completion of the third-party expert certification audits and FDA inspection were to change, the Company may, in future periods, conclude that an impairment exists with respect to its fixed assets or inventory at the Taylor Street facility.

Although the North America/HME segment is the segment primarily impacted by the limitations in the FDA consent decree, the Asia/Pacific segment also is negatively affected as a result of the consent decree due to the lower sales volume of microprocessor controllers. During 2012, before the effective date of the consent decree, the Company started to experience decreases in net sales in the North America/HME and Asia/Pacific segments. The Company believes that those decreases were driven in large part by the consent decree which has led to delays in new product introductions and to uncertainty regarding the timing of exiting the consent decree, which limited the Company's ability to renegotiate and bid on certain customer contracts and otherwise led to a decline in customer orders.  Separately, net sales in the North America/HME segment were likely impacted by uncertainty on the part of the Company's customers as they coped with prepayment reviews and post-payment audits by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") and contemplated their participation in the next round of National Competitive Bidding ("NCB"). The negative effect of the consent decree on customer orders and net sales in these segments has been considerable, and the Company expects to experience continued low levels in net sales as a result of the limitations imposed by the consent decree. The Company expects to continue to experience lower levels of net sales in the North America/HME and Asia/Pacific segments at least until it has successfully completed the previously-described third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection and has received written notification from the FDA that the Company may resume full operations at the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities. Even after the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the affected facilities, it is uncertain as to whether, or how quickly, the Company will be able to rebuild net sales to more typical historical levels, irrespective of market conditions. Accordingly, when compared to the Company's 2010 results, the limitations in the consent decree had, and likely will continue to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - June 30, 2014

For additional information regarding the consent decree, please see the following sections of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013: Item 1. Business - Government Regulation and Item 1A. Risk Factors and the following sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: Item 1. Legal Proceedings; and Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook and - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded additional warranty expense related to the power wheelchair joystick recall of $2,237,000 ($2,100,000 after-tax), which impacted the North America/HME segment by $1,171,000 after-tax and the Asia/Pacific segment by $929,000 after-tax. The increase in the Company's estimate of total cost related to this matter is attributable to higher than previously anticipated response rates from larger customers in United States and Canada. As previously indicated, the reserve is subject to adjustments as new developments change the Company's estimate of the total cost of this matter.

In addition, in December 2010, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA related to quality system processes and procedures at the Company's Sanford, Florida facility. The Company has taken actions which it believes address all of the FDA's concerns in the warning letter. However, the results of regulatory claims, proceedings, investigations, or litigation are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution or outcome of the FDA warning letter could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Any of the above contingencies could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Effective February 12, 2007, substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) of the Company became guarantors of the indebtedness of Invacare Corporation under its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (the “Debentures”) with an original aggregate principal amount of $135,000,000. The majority of the Company’s subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the indebtedness of the Debentures (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, to pay principal, premium, and interest related to the Debentures and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are directly or indirectly 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Specifically, the Debentures are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's existing domestic subsidiaries (other than the Company's captive insurance subsidiary and any receivables subsidiaries) and certain future direct and indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. All of the guarantors are released and relieved of any liability under such guarantees upon the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the debentures and the payment in full of the debentures. Additionally, in the event any subsidiary guarantor no longer guarantees any of the Company's existing or future senior debt incurred in a public or private U.S. capital markets transaction, such guarantor shall be released and relieved of any liability which it has under the indenture governing the debentures.

Presented below are the consolidating condensed financial statements of Invacare Corporation (Parent), its combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to investors and accordingly, separate financial statements and other disclosures related to the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Continuing Operations.

OUTLOOK

Effective July 31, 2014, Gerald B. Blouch retired as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors. Robert K. Gudbranson, Invacare’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was named interim President and Chief Executive Officer, while retaining his role as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Invacare Board of Directors is performing a comprehensive executive search process to identify a Chief Executive Officer and has retained a leading executive recruiting firm to assist in the national search. The search will include a full review of both internal and external candidates. The terms of Mr. Blouch's retirement and Mr. Gudbranson’s compensation as interim President and Chief Executive Officer are detailed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 24, 2014.

The Company is continuing its work with the third-party expert auditor on the final certification audit process. This audit is the most comprehensive and challenging of the three third-party certification audits, and it encompasses all areas of the Company's corporate and Taylor Street quality system. The Company needs to better demonstrate that its quality system is sustainably compliant and that each subsystem is properly integrated. In order to address these needs, the Company has engaged additional consultants to help improve the functionality and capabilities of certain of its quality subsystems. This is a detailed and complex process, and the Company is working diligently to be in a position to ultimately demonstrate compliance to the third-party auditor and subsequently, the FDA. The Company respects the comprehensive nature of the audit process and is working diligently with the third-party expert auditor with the ultimate goal of demonstrating the Company's compliance to the FDA.

The Company continued to experience pressure on its organic net sales, cash flow and operating profitability during the first half of 2014 and expects the same for at least as long as the injunctive phase of the consent decree is in place and then in the related recovery period thereafter. The key drivers of these pressures include the limited net sales of those power wheelchairs impacted by the consent decree, ongoing quality systems remediation costs and the related diversion of resources, which also has impacted the Company’s ability to introduce new products. The net sales decline of power wheelchairs is largely due to the FDA consent decree, which limits the manufacture and distribution of power and manual wheelchairs at or from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility to only those products having properly completed verification of medical necessity (VMN) documentation. The VMN is a signed document from a clinician, and in some instances a physician, that certifies that the product is deemed medically necessary for a particular patient's condition, which cannot be adequately addressed by another manufacturer's product or which is a replacement of a patient's existing product. The Company is focused on completing its expert certification audits in order to proceed to the expected FDA inspection of the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full production at the impacted facilities.

The North America/HME segment also is being negatively impacted as customers cope with prepayment reviews and post-payment audits of power mobility devices from Medicare and Medicaid. The Company continued to closely monitor the roll-out of the second round of National Competitive Bidding (NCB), which became effective in 91 additional metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) on July 1, 2013. The Company estimates that, for the full year of 2013, approximately $304,000,000 in net sales of its U.S. HME equipment business, the major division within the North America/HME segment, were products sold to homecare providers included in the NCB product categories. When the Company's products are ordered by HME customers, the Company does not know if the products are then billed by the customer for Medicare, Medicaid or private pay reimbursement or sold as cash sales. However, industry studies have shown historically that approximately 40% of HME providers' revenues on average are from sales paid by Medicare. Additionally, it is estimated that round one and round two of NCB, which include a total of 100 metropolitan statistical areas, account for approximately 75% of Medicare's spending on durable medical equipment. Taking the $304,000,000 of U.S. HME net sales of NCB bid categorized product for the full year of 2013 and applying the previously mentioned 40% and then the 75% estimates, the portion of the Company's revenues from products potentially exposed to NCB for 2013 may have been approximately $91,000,000. This estimate does not include other potential pricing pressures that also could impact HME providers from other payors. The impact of NCB on net sales is hard to measure, as the Company does not have zip code level visibility into customers' sales, rental data or Medicare fulfillment data. The Company believes that the increase in sales of HomeFill^® oxygen systems indicates that providers are actively seeking opportunities to reduce costs and transform their business model. The Company continues to remain judicious in its extension of credit to customers in these areas. The Company has worked closely with providers over the last three years in preparation for NCB, offering programs to assist them in improving their operational efficiency, as well as offering products that serve to expand market opportunities. The Company believes that products such as the HomeFill® oxygen systems can enable providers an opportunity to reduce costs and transform their business model.

The Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $0.43 and $0.99 per share for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of $0.77 and $0.95 per share for the same periods a year ago. These results are indicative of the continued pressures on the Company's net sales and margins that were present throughout 2013 and into 2014. The Company expects to continue to experience decreased net sales primarily in the North America/HME segment at least until it has successfully

I-1

completed the previously described third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection and has received written notification from the FDA that the Company may resume full operations at its corporate and Taylor Street manufacturing facilities. Even after the Company receives the FDA notification that it may resume full operations at its Taylor Street facility, it is uncertain as to whether, or how quickly, the Company will be able to rebuild net sales to more typical historical levels, irrespective of market conditions. Accordingly, the Company expects that these challenges will likely negatively impact the Company's operating results throughout 2014.

STATUS OF THE CONSENT DECREE

The consent decree at the corporate and Taylor Street facilities in Elyria, Ohio, requires that a third-party expert perform three separate certification audits. In order to resume full operations, the third-party certification audit reports must be submitted to the FDA for review and acceptance. The Company has already received the FDA's acceptance of two of the three certification reports, and the final third-party certification is in progress.

The Company cannot predict the timing of the completion or the outcome of the third-party expert’s final certification report. However, after the expert's certification report is completed and submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report related to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation (QSR). If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

The Company expects to provide investors with an update when the final, third-party expert certification report is filed with the FDA. See the “Contingencies” note to the financial statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and “Forward-Looking Statements” contained below in this Item.

RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Except for free cash flow, the financial information for all periods excludes the results of discontinued operations. Discontinued operations include ISG, the Company's former domestic medical supplies business that was divested on January 18, 2013 and Champion, the Company's former domestic medical recliner business for dialysis clinics that was divested on August 6, 2013. Champion was a part of the Institutional Products Group segment. For more information, see the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2014decreased3.9% to $331,312,000 versus $344,760,000 for the same period last year. Foreign currency translation increased net sales by 2.2 percentage points. Organic net sales, which the Company defines as the difference between reported net sales and foreign currency translation, for the quarter decreased by 6.1% over the same period last year as increases in the European segments were more than offset by declines in all other segments. The decline in mobility and seating products continues to be principally due to the reduced order volume at the Company's Taylor Street manufacturing facility resulting from the FDA consent decree. The Company estimates that sales of products manufactured from the Taylor Street facility, which included some products sold outside of the North America/HME segment, were approximately $10,500,000 in the second quarter of the current year compared to approximately $14,700,000 in the second quarter of last year. The consent decree allowed the Company to fulfill orders and quotes that were in the Company's order fulfillment system prior to the effective date of the consent decree, which benefited net sales results for the second quarter of 2013.

Net sales for the six months endedJune 30, 2014decreased5.3% to $640,381,000 versus $676,197,000 for the same period last year. Foreign currency translation increased net sales by 1.4 percentage points. Organic net sales, which the Company defines as the difference between reported net sales and foreign currency translation, for the quarter decreased by 6.7% over the same period last year as increased net sales in the European segment were more than offset by declines in all other segments. The decline in mobility and seating products continues to be principally due to the reduced order volume at the Company's Taylor Street manufacturing facility resulting from the FDA consent decree. The Company estimates that sales of products manufactured from the Taylor Street facility, which included some products sold outside of the North America/HME segment, were approximately $20,000,000 in the first six months of the current year compared to approximately $31,700,000 in the first six months of last year. The consent decree allowed the Company to fulfill orders and quotes that were in the Company's order fulfillment system prior to the effective date of the consent decree, which benefited net sales results for the second quarter of 2013.

Europe

For the quarter, European net sales increased8.6% to $153,990,000 versus $141,751,000 for the second quarter last year with foreign currency translation increasing net sales by 5.8 percentage points. The organic net sales increase of 2.8% was related to increases in net sales of all product categories. For the six months endedJune 30, 2014, European net sales increased6.2% to $296,758,000 versus $279,385,000 for the same period last year as foreign currency translation increased net sales by 4.1 percentage points. The organic net sales increase of 2.1% was primarily related to increases in net sales of mobility and seating and lifestyle products, which were partially offset by declines in respiratory products.

North America/Home Medical Equipment (HME)

North America/HME net sales decreased13.0% for the quarter to $138,678,000 as compared to $159,327,000 for the same period a year ago with foreign currency translation decreasing net sales by 0.5 of a percentage point. The organic net sales decrease of 12.5% was driven by declines in all product categories. The net sales decline in lifestyle products was impacted by market factors including the ongoing pre- and post-payment Medicare audits of home medical equipment providers, which the Company believes adversely impacts the utilization of lifestyle products. In addition, the segment has been negatively impacted by a shift toward lower cost products for certain National Competitive Bidding lifestyle products. The net sales decline in respiratory products is primarily attributable to a significant shipment of portable oxygen concentrators to a large national account last year which was not repeated in the current year. The net sales decline in mobility and seating products was primarily driven by the continued impact of the FDA consent decree, which limits production of custom power wheelchairs and seating systems at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. While power wheelchairs ordered from the Taylor Street facility continued to be fulfilled only with properly completed verification of medical necessity (VMN) documentation, the number of new domestic power wheelchair units shipped from the facility in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 represented only 8.8% and 14.5%, respectively, of the pre-consent decree domestic units shipped in the second quarter of 2012.

For the six months endedJune 30, 2014, net sales decreased14.0% to $267,788,000 as compared to $311,209,000 for the same period a year ago with foreign currency translation decreasing net sales by 0.6 of a percentage point. The organic net sales decrease of 13.4% was driven by declines in all product categories. The drivers for the decline in sales on a year-to-date basis are similar to the drivers for the quarter decline.

Institutional Products Group (IPG)

IPG net sales for the quarter decreased13.6% to $25,785,000 compared to $29,828,000 for the same period last year as foreign currency decreased net sales by 0.4 of a percentage point. Organic net sales decreased by 13.2% driven primarily by declines in interior design projects and bed sales, primarily as a result of delays in new product introductions. Net sales for the six months endedJune 30, 2014, decreased13.8% to $50,921,000 compared to $59,052,000 for the same period last year as foreign currency decreased net sales by 0.3 of a percentage point. Organic net sales decreased by 13.5% driven primarily by declines in bed sales, primarily as a result of delays in new product introductions, and declines in interior design projects.

Asia/Pacific

Asia/Pacific net sales decreased7.2% for the quarter to $12,859,000 as compared to $13,854,000 for the same period a year ago. Organic net sales decreased 8.8% as foreign currency translation increased net sales by 1.6 percentage points. This decrease in net sales was attributable to declines in all businesses, but primarily in the Company's subsidiary that produces microprocessor controllers. Net sales for the six months endedJune 30, 2014, decreased6.2% to $24,914,000 as compared to $26,551,000 for the same period a year ago. Organic net sales decreased4.4% as foreign currency translation decreased net sales by 1.8 percentage points. This decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to declines at the Company's subsidiary that produces microprocessor controllers and the New Zealand distribution business. This was partially offset by growth in the Company's Australian distribution business.

Gross Profit. Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 was 28.4% and 28.0% compared to 27.1% and 27.7% in the same periods last year. Gross margin reflects an incremental warranty expense for the power wheelchair joystick recall of $2,237,000 in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $3,847,000 in the second quarter of 2013. The incremental warranty expense, which was recorded in the North America/HME and Asia/Pacific segments, was attributable to higher than previously anticipated response rates from larger customers in the United States and Canada. The reserve is subject to adjustments as new developments change the Company's estimate of the total cost of this matter. Gross margin for the first six months of 2014 reflect an incremental warranty expense for the power wheelchair recall of $2,237,000 as compared to $3,847,000 in the first six months of 2013. Excluding this incremental warranty expense, gross margin increased 0.2 and 0.1 of a percentage point in the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods last year, primarily

I-3

due to product cost reductions partially offset by reduced volumes, unfavorable customer and product mix in the North America/HME segment and unfavorable absorption of fixed costs at the Company's subsidiary which produces microprocessor controllers as a result of reduced volumes.

For the first six months of the year, gross profit in Europe as a percentage of net sales increased2.4 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Gross profit was favorably impacted by favorable customer and product mix and lower product costs, including favorable foreign currency transactions.

For the first six months of the year, North America/HME gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by 2.1 percentage points compared to the same period last year. The decline in margins was primarily as a result of unfavorable sales mix toward lower margin customers and lower margin products, and increased warranty expense of $1,308,000, compared to $433,000 in the first six months of 2013, related to the power wheelchair joystick recall.

For the first six months of the year, IPG gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased2.8 percentage points compared to the same period last year. The increase in margin is primarily attributable to reduced research and development expenses.

For the first six months of the year, gross profit in Asia/Pacific as a percentage of net sales decreased by 5.3 percentage points compared to the same period last year. The decline was primarily attributable to reduced volumes and unfavorable absorption of fixed costs at the Company's subsidiary which produces microprocessor controllers. The gross margin benefited from lower incremental warranty expense related to the Company's power wheelchair joystick recall with $929,000 recorded in the first six months of 2014 as compared to incremental warranty expense of $3,414,000 recorded in the first six months of 2013.

Selling, General and Administrative. Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 was 30.6% and 31.2% compared to 30.2% and 30.7% for the same period a year ago. SG&A expenses decreased by $2,543,000 or 2.4% for the quarter and decreased by $7,757,000 or 3.7% for the first six months compared to the same period a year ago with foreign currency translation increasing SG&A expenses by $1,701,000 or 1.6 percentage points for the quarter and by $1,804,000 or 0.9 percentage points year to date. Excluding foreign currency translation, SG&A costs decreased for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 by $4,244,000 or 4.0% and $9,561,000 or 4.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods a year ago. The SG&A expense decrease for the quarter and year to date was primarily related to a reduction in regulatory and compliance costs and reduced amortization expense. The SG&A expense for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 was impacted by increased amortization expense of $1,070,000 as a result of the write-off of bank fees, previously capitalized, related to the amendment for the Company's credit facility finalized during the first quarter which reduced the capacity on the facility to $100,000,000 from $250,000,000 and increased costs of $958,000 related to the retirement of an executive officer of the Company. SG&A expense the first six months of 2013 included increased amortization of $1,216,000 as a result of the write-off of bank fees.

European SG&A expenses increased by 11.0% or $3,609,000 for the quarter and increased by 6.2% or $4,145,000 compared to the same periods a year ago with foreign currency translation increasing SG&A expenses by approximately $1,945,000 or 5.9 percentage points for the quarter and increasing SG&A expenses by approximately $2,689,000 or 4.0 percentage points for the first half of the year. Excluding the foreign currency translation impact, SG&A expenses increased by $1,664,000 or 5.1% for the quarter and increased by $1,456,000 or 2.2% for the first half of the year primarily due to increased associate costs.

SG&A expenses for North America/HME decreased10.7% or $5,777,000 and decreased9.7% or $10,380,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods a year ago. Foreign currency translation decreased SG&A expenses by $253,000 or 0.5 of a percentage point for the quarter and decreased SG&A expenses by $590,000 or 0.6 of a percentage point for the first half of the year. Excluding the foreign currency translation, SG&A expenses decreased $5,524,000 or 10.2 percentage points for the quarter and $9,790,000 or 9.1 percentage points for the first half of the year. The expense decrease for the quarter was principally due to decreased regulatory and compliance costs, associate costs, amortization, product liability and bad debt expense. The expense decrease for the first half of the year was principally due to decreased regulatory and compliance costs, associate costs, product liability and bad debt expense.

SG&A expenses for IPG decreased by 3.1% or $361,000 for the quarter and decreased by 5.5% or $1,245,000 for the first half of the year compared to the same periods a year ago with foreign currency translation not having a material impact in the second quarter or first half of the year. The SG&A expense decrease for the quarter and first half was primarily attributable to lower associate costs.

Asia/Pacific SG&A expenses decreased0.2% or $14,000 for the quarter and decreased2.4% or $277,000 for the first half of the year with foreign currency translation increasing SG&A expenses by approximately $46,000 or 0.8 of a percentage point in the quarter and decreasing SG&A expenses by approximately $234,000 or 2.0 percentage points in the first half of the year.

I-4

Excluding the foreign currency translation impact, SG&A expenses decreased by $60,000 or 1.0% for the quarter and decreased by $43,000 or 0.4% for the first half of the year.

Charge Related to Restructuring Activities. Restructuring continued during the quarter resulting in restructuring charges of $4,330,000 in the first six months of 2014 related to severance costs ($2,818,000) and other costs ($1,512,000), which principally included building write-downs in the Europe and IPG segments. The severance costs were incurred principally in the NA/HME segment, and to a lesser extent the Europe and IPG segments. The building write-down in the IPG segment was associated with the previously announced closure of the London, Canada facility. The building write-down in the European segment was associated with a facility in Sweden, which the Company exited in 2011.

Interest. Interest expense increased to $1,158,000 and $1,964,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 compared to $815,000 and $1,932,000 for the same periods a year ago, representing increases of 42.1% and 1.7%. The increase in the second quarter of this year compared to the same period a year ago was primarily attributable to higher average second quarter debt levels in 2014 as compared to 2013. Interest income increased to $323,000 and $391,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 compared to 74,000 and 181,000 for the same periods last year due to interest received on a German valued added tax (VAT) claim partially offset by a reduction in the volume of financing provided to customers.

Income Taxes. The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 29.2% and 20.2% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, compared to an expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to the negative impact of the Company not being able to record tax benefits related to the significant losses in countries which had tax valuation allowances. The rate benefited by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 76.6% and 11.6% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to losses overseas without tax benefit due to valuation allowances and an adjustment to the domestic intraperiod tax allocation due to the impact of a discrete tax expense of $9,702,000 ($0.30 per share) related to dividends for earnings previously deemed permanently reinvested overseas received in the U.S. during the second quarter. The rate benefited by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances that were in losses in 2013, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain an adequate liquidity position through its unused bank lines of credit (see Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report) and working capital management.

The Company's total debt outstanding, inclusive of the debt discount included in equity in accordance with FSB APB 14-1, increased by $10,485,000 to $58,480,000 at June 30, 2014 from $47,995,000 as of December 31, 2013. The Company's balance sheet reflects the impact of ASC 470-20, which reduced debt and increased equity by $2,364,000 and $2,709,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The debt increase during the first six months was principally a result of negative cash flow. The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $23,001,000 at June 30, 2014, down from $29,785,000 as of December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $38,571,000 on its revolving credit facility versus $28,109,000 as of December 31, 2013.

The Company's borrowing capacity and cash on hand were utilized for normal operations during the period ended June 30, 2014. Debt repurchases, acquisitions, divestitures, the timing of vendor payments, the granting of extended payment terms to significant national accounts and other activity can have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow and borrowings outstanding such that the debt reported at the end of a given period may be materially different than debt levels during a given period. For the six months endedJune 30, 2014, the outstanding borrowings on the Company's revolving credit facility varied from a low of $28,100,000 to a high of $66,300,000. While the Company has cash balances in various jurisdictions around the world, there are no material restrictions under the credit facility regarding the use of such cash for dividends within the Company, loans or other purposes.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which contains certain covenants that are customary for similar credit arrangements, including covenants relating to, among other things, financial reporting and notification, compliance with laws, preservation of existence, maintenance of books and records, use of proceeds, maintenance of properties and insurance, and limitations on liens, dispositions, issuance of debt, investments, payment of dividends, repurchases

I-5

of capital stock, acquisitions, transactions with affiliates, and capital expenditures. There also are financial covenants that currently require the Company to maintain a maximum leverage ratio (consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest charges, each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for the following:

• An increase in the maximum leverage ratio for the first three quarters of 2014, with quarterly ratios as described in the following table:

Fiscal Quarter Ending	Maximum Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2014	4.75	to	1.00
June 30, 2014	4.50	to	1.00
September 30, 2014	4.00	to	1.00
December 31, 2014 and thereafter	3.50	to	1.00

The quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio remains 3.50 to 1.00 in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

• In calculating the Company’s EBITDA for purposes of determining the leverage and interest coverage ratios, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows the Company to add back to EBITDA up to $20,000,000 for one-time cash restructuring charges incurred after May 30, 2013, which is an incremental increase of $5,000,000 from the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

• A decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $100,000,000 from $250,000,000 through the maturity date of the facility in October 2015, as well as reductions in the facility’s swing line loan, optional currency and foreign borrower sublimits.

• Reductions in the allowances under the facility for capital expenditures (down to $25,000,000 annually), dividends, other indebtedness and liens.

• Further restrictions on acquisitions, share repurchases, certain investments and repurchases of convertible debt until after the Company confirms compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement following the quarter ending December 31, 2014.

• An increase of 25 basis points in the margin applicable to determining the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As a result of the amendment, the Company incurred $351,000 in fees in the first quarter of 2014 which were capitalized and are being amortized through October, 2015. In addition, as a result of reducing the capacity of the facility from $250,000,000 to $100,000,000, the Company wrote-off $1,070,000 in previously capitalized fees in the first quarter of 2014, which is reflected in the expense of the North America / HME segment.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of swing line loans. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin; or (ii) a Base Rate Option plus a margin. The applicable margin is currently 2.25% per annum for LIBOR loans and 1.25% for the Base Rate Option loans based on the Company's leverage ratio. In addition to interest, the Company is required to pay commitment fees on the unused portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The commitment fee rate is currently 0.35% per annum. Like the interest rate spreads, the commitment fee is subject to adjustment based on the Company's leverage ratio. The obligations of the borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's U.S. assets and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's material domestic and foreign subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company's leverage ratio was 2.78 and the Company's interest coverage ratio was 7.89 compared to a leverage ratio of 2.30 and an interest coverage ratio of 7.51 as of December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements and under the most restrictive covenant of the Company's borrowing arrangements, the Company had the capacity to borrow up to an additional $40,063,000. Compliance with the ratios is tested at the end of the quarter in accordance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as well as cash flows from operations, have been a principal source of financing for much of its liquidity needs. If the Company were unsuccessful in meeting its leverage or interest coverage ratios, or other, financial or operating covenants in its credit facility, it would result in a default, which could trigger acceleration of, or the right to accelerate, the related debt. Because of cross-default provisions in the agreements and instruments governing

I-6

certain of the Company's indebtedness, a default under the credit facility could result in a default under, and the acceleration of, certain other Company indebtedness. In addition, the Company's lenders would be entitled to proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness.

Based on the Company's current expectations, the Company believes that its cash balances and available borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility should be sufficient to meet working capital needs, capital requirements, and commitments for at least the next twelve months. However, the Company's ability to satisfy its liquidity needs will depend on many factors, including the operating performance of the business, the Company's ability to successfully complete in a timely manner the third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection contemplated under the consent decree and receipt of the written notification from the FDA permitting the Company to resume full operations, as well as the Company's continued compliance with the covenants under its credit facility. Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if the Company's operating results decline substantially more than it currently anticipates, or if the Company is unable to successfully complete the consent decree-related third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection within the currently estimated time frame (including as a result of any need to complete significant additional remediation arising from the third-party expert certification audits or the FDA inspection), the Company may be unable to comply with the financial covenants, and its lenders could demand repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility.

As a result, continued compliance with, in particular, the leverage covenant under the Company's credit facility is a high priority, which means the Company has remained focused on generating sufficient cash and managing its expenditures. In addition, the Company is actively reviewing options relating to its capital structure, as its existing credit facility matures in October 2015. The existing credit facility will be accounted for as a current liability commencing in October 2014, if a new credit facility is not finalized by then. The Company also may examine alternatives such as raising additional capital through permitted asset sales. In addition, if necessary or advisable, the Company may seek to amend or renegotiate its credit facility in order to remain in compliance. The Company can make no assurances that under such circumstances its financing arrangements could be renegotiated, or that alternative financing would be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $13,350,000 aggregate principal amount outstanding of its Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures.

While there is general concern about the potential for rising interest rates, the Company believes that its exposure to interest rate fluctuations is manageable as the Company has the ability to utilize swaps to exchange variable rate debt for fixed rate debt, if needed, and the Company expects that it will be able to absorb any modest rate increases in the months ahead without any material impact on its liquidity or capital resources. As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average floating interest rate on revolving credit borrowings was 2.28% compared to 2.39% as of December 31, 2013.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

There are no individually material capital expenditure commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The Company estimates that capital investments for 2014 could approximate between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000, compared to actual capital expenditures of $14,158,000 in 2013. The Company believes that its balances of cash and cash equivalents, together with funds generated from operations and existing borrowing facilities, will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements and fund required capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, entered into on January 31, 2014, limits the Company's annual capital expenditures to $25,000,000.

CASH FLOWS

Cash flows used by operating activities were $13,899,000 for the first six months of 2014, compared to cash flows used by operating activities of $29,964,000 in the first six months of 2013. The negative cash flow in 2014 was primarily driven by the net loss for the period and higher inventory levels partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Operating cash flow for the first half of 2013 was negatively impacted by accelerated payments and fees paid related to the sale of ISG.

Cash flows used by investing activities were $1,927,000 for the first six months of 2014, compared to cash provided of $136,572,000 in the first six months of 2013. The significant change in investing cash flow was primarily attributable to the receipt of $144,681,000 in net proceeds resulting from the sale of ISG in the first quarter of last year. In addition, the Company sold life insurance assets of $5,045,000 in the first six months of 2014 to fund payments, including future payments, as a result of the retirement of an executive in the first quarter of 2014.

I-7

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $7,672,000 in the first six months of 2014 compared to cash flow used of $123,355,000 in the first six months of 2013. Cash flows used in the first six months of 2013 reflect the net pay down in debt as the majority of the proceeds from the sale of ISG were used to pay down debt in the first six months of 2013.

During the first six months of 2014, the Company used free cash flow of $17,327,000 compared to $33,117,000 in the first six months of 2013. The negative free cash flow in 2014 was primarily driven by the net loss in the period and higher inventory levels partially offset by an increase in accounts payable while the six months of 2013 was negatively impacted by accelerated payments and fees related to the sale of ISG. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is comprised of net cash used by operating activities, excluding net cash flow impact related to restructuring activities, less purchases of property and equipment, net of proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Management believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the overall financial performance of the Company and its ability to repay debt or make future investments (including acquisitions, etc.).

The non-GAAP financial measure is reconciled to the GAAP measure as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,

DIVIDEND POLICY

On May 15, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0125 per Common Share to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2014, which was paid on July 14, 2014.  At the current rate, the cash dividend will amount to $0.05 per Common Share on an annual basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Consolidated Financial Statements included in the report include accounts of the Company and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes. In preparing the financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

The following critical accounting policies, among others, affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Invacare’s revenues are recognized when products are shipped or services provided to unaffiliated customers. Revenue Recognition, ASC 605, provides guidance on the application of generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues. The Company has concluded that its revenue recognition policy is appropriate and in accordance with GAAP and ASC 605. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Sales are made only to customers with whom the Company believes collection is reasonably assured based upon a credit analysis, which may include obtaining a credit application, a signed security agreement, personal guarantee and/or a cross corporate guarantee depending on the credit history of the customer. Credit lines are established for new customers after an evaluation of their credit report and/or other relevant financial information. Existing credit lines are regularly reviewed and adjusted with consideration given to any outstanding past due amounts.

I-8

The Company offers discounts and rebates, which are accounted for as reductions to revenue in the period in which the sale is recognized. Discounts offered include: cash discounts for prompt payment, base and trade discounts based on contract level for specific classes of customers. Volume discounts and rebates are given based on large purchases and the achievement of certain sales volumes. Product returns are accounted for as a reduction to reported sales with estimates recorded for anticipated returns at the time of sale. The Company does not ship any goods on consignment.

Distributed products sold by the Company are accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance in ASC 605-45-05. The Company records distributed product sales gross as a principal since the Company takes title to the products and has the risks of loss for collections, delivery and returns.

Product sales that give rise to installment receivables are recorded at the time of sale when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Interest income is recognized on installment agreements in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Installment accounts are monitored and if a customer defaults on payments, interest income is no longer recognized. All installment accounts are accounted for using the same methodology, regardless of duration of the installment agreements.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts is based primarily on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer. In addition, as a result of the third party financing arrangement, management monitors the collection status of these contracts in accordance with the Company's limited recourse obligations and provides amounts necessary for estimated losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts and establishing reserves for specific customers as needed.

The Company continues to closely monitor the credit-worthiness of its customers and adhere to tight credit policies. In 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced new Medicare prices which became effective in July 2013 for the second round of the National Competitive Bidding program, which was expanded to include 91 metropolitan statistical areas.  The Company believes the changes announced could have a significant impact on the collectability of accounts receivable for those customers which are in the MSA locations impacted and which have a portion of their revenues tied to Medicare reimbursement. As a result, this is an additional risk factor which the Company considers when assessing the collectability of accounts receivable.

The Company has an agreement with DLL, a third party financing company, to provide the majority of future lease financing to Invacare's North America customers. The DLL agreement provides for direct leasing between DLL and the Invacare customer. The Company retains a recourse obligation for events of default under the contracts. The Company monitors the collections status of these contracts and has provided amounts for estimated losses in its allowances for doubtful accounts.

Inventories and Related Allowance for Obsolete and Excess Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventories have been reduced by an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories. The estimated allowance is based on management’s review of inventories on hand compared to estimated future usage and sales. A provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded as needed based upon the discontinuation of products, redesigning of existing products, new product introductions, market changes and safety issues. Both raw materials and finished goods are reserved for on the balance sheet.

In general, Invacare reviews inventory turns as an indicator of obsolescence or slow moving product as well as the impact of new product introductions. Depending on the situation, the Company may partially or fully reserve for the individual item. The Company continues to increase its overseas sourcing efforts, increase its emphasis on the development and introduction of new products, and decrease the cycle time to bring new product offerings to market. These initiatives are potential sources of inventory obsolescence for both raw material and finished goods.

Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets

Property, equipment, intangibles and certain other long-lived assets are amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on management's estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue. Under Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company's measurement date for its annual goodwill impairment test is October 1. Furthermore, goodwill and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The majority of the Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate to the Company's Europe and IPG segments which have continued to be profitable.

I-9

To review goodwill for impairment in accordance with ASC 350, the Company first estimates the fair value of each reporting unit and compares the calculated fair value to the carrying value of the each reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below. The Company has determined that its reporting units are the same as its operating segments. The Company completes its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each year. To estimate the fair values of the reporting units, the Company utilizes a discounted cash flow (DCF) method in which the Company forecasts income statement and balance sheet amounts based on assumptions regarding future sales growth, profitability, inventory turns, days' sales outstanding, etc. to forecast future cash flows. The cash flows are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital discount rate where the cost of debt is based on quoted rates for 20-year debt of companies of similar credit risk and the cost of equity is based upon the 20-year treasury rate for the risk free rate, a market risk premium, the industry average beta and a small cap stock adjustment. The discount rates used have a significant impact upon the discounted cash flow methodology utilized in the Company's annual impairment testing as higher discount rates decrease the fair value estimates. The assumptions used are based on a market participant's point of view and yielded a discount rate of 10.00% in 2013 for the Company's annual impairment analysis compared to 9.88% in 2012 and 9.27% in 2011.

The Company also utilizes an Enterprise Value (EV) to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) Method to compute the fair value of its reporting units which considers potential acquirers and their EV to EBITDA multiples adjusted by an estimated premium. While more weight is given to the discounted cash flow method, the EV to EBITDA method does provide corroborative evidence of the reasonableness of the discounted cash flow method results.

A future potential impairment is possible, for each or any of the Company's segments, should actual results differ materially from forecasted results used in the valuation analysis. Furthermore, the Company's annual valuation of goodwill can differ materially if the market inputs used to determine the discount rate change significantly. For instance, higher interest rates or greater stock price volatility would increase the discount rate and thus increase the chance of impairment. In consideration of this potential, the Company reviewed the results if the discount rate used were 100 basis points higher for the 2013 impairment analysis and determined that there still would not be any indicator of potential impairment for the segments with goodwill which are Europe and IPG.

The Company's intangible assets consist of intangible assets with defined lives as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives. Defined-lived intangible assets consist principally of customer lists, developed technology, license agreements, patents and other miscellaneous intangibles such as non-compete agreements. The Company's indefinite lived intangible assets consist entirely of trademarks.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of definite-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Definite-lived assets are determined to be impaired if the future un-discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying value. Actual impairment amounts for definite-lived assets are then calculated using a discounted cash flow calculation. The Company reviews indefinite-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Any impairment amounts for indefinite-lived assets are calculated as the difference between the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset less than the carrying value for the asset.

Product Liability

The Company’s captive insurance company, Invatection Insurance Co., currently has a policy year that runs from September 1 to August 31 and insures annual policy losses of $10,000,000 per occurrence and $13,000,000 in the aggregate of the Company’s North American product liability exposure. The Company also has additional layers of external insurance coverage insuring up to $75,000,000 in aggregate losses per policy year arising from individual claims anywhere in the world that exceed the captive insurance company policy limits or the limits of the Company’s per country foreign liability limits, as applicable. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current insurance levels will continue to be adequate or available at affordable rates.

Product liability reserves are recorded for individual claims based upon historical experience, industry expertise and other indicators. Additional reserves, in excess of the specific individual case reserves, are provided for incurred but not reported claims based upon actuarial valuations at the time such valuations are conducted. Historical claims experience and other assumptions are taken into consideration by the Company in estimating the ultimate reserves. For example, the actuarial analysis assumes that historical loss experience is an indicator of future experience, that the distribution of exposures by geographic area and nature of operations for ongoing operations is expected to be very similar to historical operations with no dramatic changes and that the government indices used to trend losses and exposures are appropriate.

Estimates made are adjusted on a regular basis and can be impacted by actual loss awards and settlements on claims. While actuarial analysis is used to help determine adequate reserves, the Company is responsible for the determination and recording of adequate reserves in accordance with accepted loss reserving standards and practices.

I-10

Warranty

Generally, the Company’s products are covered by warranties against defects in material and workmanship for various periods depending on the product from the date of sale to the customer. Certain components carry a lifetime warranty. A provision for estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time of sale based upon actual experience. The Company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accrual and makes adjustments as needed. Historical analysis is primarily used to determine the Company’s warranty reserves. Claims history is reviewed and provisions are adjusted as needed. However, the Company does consider other events, such as a product recall, which could warrant additional warranty reserve provision. See Current Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share based compensation under the provisions of Compensation—Stock Compensation, ASC 718. The Company has not made any modifications to the terms of any previously granted options and no changes have been made regarding the valuation methodologies or assumptions used to determine the fair value of options granted and the Company continues to use a Black-Scholes valuation model. As of June 30, 2014, there was $15,415,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company's 2013 Plan and previous plans, which is related to non-vested options and shares, and includes $6,490,000 related to restricted stock awards, $6,148,000 related to non-qualified stock options and $2,777,000 related to performance share awards.

The substantial majority of the options awarded have been granted at exercise prices equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock awards granted without cost to the recipients are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. Performance share awards are expensed during the periods recipients provide service based on achievement of performance goals.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in various jurisdictions. The process requires estimating the Company’s current tax liability, including assessing uncertainties related to tax return filing positions, as well as estimating temporary differences due to the different treatment of items for tax and accounting policies. The temporary differences are reported as deferred tax assets and or liabilities. The Company also must estimate whether it will more likely than not realize its deferred tax assets and whether a valuation allowance should be established. Substantially all of the Company’s U.S., Australia and New Zealanddeferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance.  In the event that actual results differ from its estimates, the Company’s provision for income taxes could be materially impacted. The Company does not believe that there is a substantial likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported related to its critical accounting policies.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 in the first quarter of 2014 with no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets or Statement of Cash Flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-11 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift

I-11

that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. This standard must be prospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. If applicable, this standard will change the presentation of the Company's financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires five steps to be applied: 1) identify the contract(s) with customers, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocated the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires both quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which are more comprehensive than existing revenue standards. The disclosures are intended to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flow. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk through various financial instruments, including fixed rate and floating rate debt instruments. The Company does at times use interest swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Based on June 30, 2014 debt levels, a 1% change in interest rates would impact annual interest expense by approximately $391,000. Additionally, the Company operates internationally and, as a result, is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Specifically, the exposure results from intercompany loans, intercompany sales or payments and third party sales or payments. In an attempt to reduce this exposure, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized to hedge intercompany purchases and sales as well as third party purchases and sales. The Company does not believe that any potential loss related to these financial instruments would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provides for a $100,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in October 2015 at variable rates. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding $13,350,000 in principal amount of 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due in February 2027, of which $2,364,000 is included in equity. Accordingly, while the Company is exposed to increases in interest rates, its exposure to the volatility of the current market environment is limited as the Company does not currently need to immediately re-finance any of its debt. However, the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains covenants with respect to, among other items, consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and interest coverage, as defined in the agreement. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements, but should it fall out of compliance with these requirements, the Company would have to attempt to obtain alternative financing and thus likely be required to pay much higher interest rates.

The information called for by this item is provided under the same caption under Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2014, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

I-13

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, primarily product liability actions in which various plaintiffs seek damages for injuries allegedly caused by defective products. All of the product liability lawsuits that the Company faces in the United States have been referred to the Company's captive insurance company and/or excess insurance carriers while all non-U.S. lawsuits have been referred to the Company's commercial insurance carriers. All such lawsuits are generally contested vigorously. The coverage territory of the Company's insurance is worldwide with the exception of those countries with respect to which, at the time the product is sold for use or at the time a claim is made, the U.S. government has suspended or prohibited diplomatic or trade relations. Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these actions will have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business or financial condition.

In December 2012, the Company reached agreement with the FDA on the terms of the consent decree of injunction with respect to the Company's Corporate facility and its Taylor Street wheelchair manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. A complaint and consent decree were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and on December 21, 2012, the Court approved the consent decree and it became effective. The consent decree limits the Company's manufacture and distribution of power and manual wheelchairs, wheelchair components and wheelchair sub-assemblies at or from its Taylor Street manufacturing facility. The decree also temporarily limited design activities related to wheelchairs and power beds that take place at the impacted Elyria, Ohio facilities. The Company is entitled to continue to produce from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility certain medically necessary wheelchairs provided that documentation and record-keeping requirements are followed, as well as ongoing replacement, service and repair of products already in use, under terms delineated in the consent decree. Under the terms of the consent decree, in order to resume full operations at the impacted facilities, the Company must successfully complete a third-party expert certification audit at the impacted Elyria facilities, which is comprised of three distinct reports that must be submitted to, and accepted by, the FDA. After the final certification report is submitted to the FDA, along with the Company’s own report as to its compliance as well as responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA will perform an inspection of the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the Quality System Regulation (QSR) and the consent decree. The FDA has the authority to inspect at any time. Once satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

During 2013, the Company completed the first two of the expert certification audits, and the FDA found the results of both to be acceptable. In these reports, the third-party expert certified that the Company's equipment and process validation procedures and its design control systems are compliant with the FDA's QSR. As a result of the FDA's acceptance of the first certification report on May 13, 2013, the Taylor Street facility was able to resume supplying parts and components for the further manufacturing of medical devices at other Company facilities. The Company's receipt of the FDA's acceptance of the second certification report on July 15, 2013, resulted in the Company being able to resume design activities at the impacted facilities related to power wheelchairs and power beds.

The third, most comprehensive expert certification audit is a comprehensive review of the Company's compliance with the FDA's QSR at the impacted Elyria facilities. As of the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is continuing its work with the third-party expert auditor on the final certification audit process. This audit is the most comprehensive and challenging of the three expert certification audits, and it encompasses all areas of the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street quality system. The Company needs to better demonstrate that its quality system is sustainably compliant and that each subsystem is properly integrated. In order to address these needs, the Company as engaged additional consultants to help improve the functionality and capabilities of certain of its quality subsystems. The Company respects the comprehensive nature of the audit process and is working diligently to be in a position to ultimately demonstrate compliance to the third-party expert auditor and subsequently, the FDA.

The Company cannot predict the timing of the completion or the outcome of the third-party expert’s final certification report. However, after the expert's certification report is completed and submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report related to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the FDA's QSR and the consent decree. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

After resumption of full operations, the Company must undergo five years of audits by a third-party expert auditor to determine whether the facilities are in continuous compliance with FDA's QSR and the consent decree. The auditor will inspect the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities’ activities every six months during the first year following the resumption of full operations and then every 12 months for the next four years thereafter.

I-14

Under the consent decree, the FDA has the authority to inspect the corporate and Taylor Street facilities at any time. The FDA also has the authority to order the Company to take a wide variety of actions if the FDA finds that the Company is not in compliance with the consent decree or FDA regulations, including requiring the Company to shut down all operations relating to Taylor Street products. The FDA can also order the Company to undertake a partial shutdown or a recall, issue a safety alert, public health advisory, or press release, or to take any other corrective action the FDA deems necessary with respect to Taylor Street products.

The FDA also has authority under the consent decree to assess liquidated damages of $15,000 per violation per day for any violations of the consent decree, FDA regulations or the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The FDA may also assess liquidated damages for shipments of adulterated or misbranded devices, except as permitted by the consent decree, in the amount of twice the sale price of any such adulterated or misbranded device. The liquidated damages are capped at $7,000,000 for each calendar year. The liquidated damages are in addition to any other remedies otherwise available to the FDA, including civil money penalties.

For additional information regarding the consent decree, please see the following sections of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2013: Item 1. Business - Government Regulation and Item 1A. Risk Factors; and Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook and - Liquidity and Capital Resources in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As previously disclosed, in December 2010, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA related to quality system processes and procedures at the Company's Sanford, Florida facility. At the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, this matter remains pending. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2013.

On November 15, 2013, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on May 24, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch and A. Malachi Mixon III in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to properly disclose the issues that the Company has faced with the FDA. The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for purchasers of the Company's common shares between July 22, 2010 and December 7, 2011. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On February 14, 2014, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on August 26, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch, A. Malachi Mixon III and Patricia Stumpp, as well as outside directors Dale C. LaPorte, Michael F. Delaney and Charles S. Robb, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated the Employment Retirement Security Act (ERISA) in the administration and maintenance of the Company stock fund in the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) Plan). The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for participants in the Company's stock fund of the 401(k) Plan between July 22, 2010 and the present. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company received a subpoena in 2006 from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) seeking documents relating to three longstanding and well-known promotional and rebate programs previously maintained by the Company. The Company believes that the programs described in the subpoena are in compliance with all applicable laws, and the Company has cooperated fully with the government investigation. As of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the subpoena remains pending; although the last communication with the DOJ was in 2007.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2013.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

Concentration Of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company manufactures and distributes durable medical equipment to the home health care, retail and extended care markets. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company utilizes De Lage Landen, Inc. (“DLL”), a third party financing company, to provide the majority of future lease financing to the Company’s North America customers. The DLL agreement provides for direct leasing between DLL and the Invacare customer. The Company retains a recourse obligation of $4,897,000 at June 30, 2014 to DLL for events of default under the contracts, which total $36,824,000 at June 30, 2014. The Company's recourse is re-evaluated by DLL biannually, considers activity between the biannual dates and excludes any receivables repurchased by the Company from DLL. The Company monitors the collections status of these contracts and has provided amounts for estimated losses in its allowances for doubtful accounts in accordance with Receivables, ASC 310-10-05-4. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements.

Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long term care facilities located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe. A significant portion of products sold to dealers, both foreign and domestic, is ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Company has also seen a significant shift in reimbursement to customers from managed care entities. As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability. In addition, reimbursement guidelines in the home health care industry have a substantial impact on the nature and type of equipment an end user can obtain as well as the timing of reimbursement and, thus, affect the product mix, pricing and payment patterns of the Company’s customers.

Receivables [Abstract]

Receivables

Receivables

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from health care, medical equipment providers and long term care facilities located throughout the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Europe. A significant portion of products sold to providers, both foreign and domestic, is ultimately funded through government reimbursement programs such as Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S. As a consequence, changes in these programs can have an adverse impact on dealer liquidity and profitability. The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts ($16,022,000 at June 30, 2014 and $17,715,000 at December 31, 2013) is based primarily on management’s evaluation of the financial condition of specific customers. In addition, as a result of the financing arrangement with De Lage Landen, Inc. ("DLL"), a third party financing company which the Company has worked with since 2000, management monitors the collection status of these contracts in accordance with the Company’s limited recourse obligations and provides amounts necessary for estimated losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts and establishing reserves for specific customers as needed. The Company charges off uncollectible trade accounts receivable after such receivables are moved to collection status and legal remedies are exhausted. See Concentration of Credit Risk in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the financing arrangement. Long-term installment receivables are included in “Other Assets” on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s U.S. customers electing to finance their purchases can do so using DLL. In addition, the Company often provides financing directly for its Canadian customers for which DLL is not an option, as DLL typically provides financing to Canadian customers only on a limited basis. The installment receivables recorded on the books of the Company represent a single portfolio segment of finance receivables to the independent provider channel and long-term care customers. The portfolio segment is comprised of two classes of receivables distinguished by geography and credit quality. The U.S. installment receivables are the first class and represent installment receivables re-purchased from DLL because the customers were in default. Default with DLL is defined as a customer being delinquent by 3 payments. The Canadian installment receivables represent the second class of installment receivables which were originally financed by the Company because third party financing was not available to the HME providers. The Canadian installment receivables are typically financed for 12 months and historically have had a very low risk of default.

The estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts and evaluation for impairment for both classes of installment receivables is based on the Company’s quarterly review of the financial condition of each individual customer with the allowance for doubtful accounts adjusted accordingly. Installments are individually and not collectively reviewed for impairment. The Company assesses the bad debt reserve levels based upon the status of the customer’s adherence to a legally negotiated payment schedule and the Company’s ability to enforce judgments, liens, etc.

For purposes of granting or extending credit, the Company utilizes a scoring model to generate a composite score that considers each customer’s consumer credit score and/or D&B credit rating, payment history, security collateral and time in business. Additional analysis is performed for customers desiring credit greater than $250,000, which generally includes a detailed review of the customer’s financials as well as consideration of other factors such as exposure to changing reimbursement laws.

Interest income is recognized on installment receivables based on the terms of the installment agreements. Installment accounts are monitored and if a customer defaults on payments and is moved to collection, interest income is no longer recognized. Subsequent payments received once an account is put on non-accrual status are generally first applied to the principal balance and then to the interest. Accruing of interest on collection accounts would only be restarted if the account became current again. All installment accounts are accounted for using the same methodology regardless of the duration of the installment agreements. When an account is placed in collection status, the Company goes through a legal process of adjudication which typically approximates eighteen months. Any write-offs are made after the legal process has been completed. The Company has not made any changes to either its accounting policies or methodology to estimation allowances for doubtful accounts in the last twelve months.

Contingencies

Contingencies

General

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits, primarily product liability actions in which various plaintiffs seek damages for injuries allegedly caused by defective products. All of the product liability lawsuits that the Company faces in the United States have been referred to the Company's captive insurance company and/or excess insurance carriers while all non-U.S. lawsuits have been referred to the Company's commercial insurance carriers. All such lawsuits are generally contested vigorously. The coverage territory of the Company's insurance is worldwide with the exception of those countries with respect to which, at the time the product is sold for use or at the time a claim is made, the U.S. government has suspended or prohibited diplomatic or trade relations. The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures.

As a medical device manufacturer, the Company is subject to extensive government regulation, including numerous laws directed at preventing fraud and abuse and laws regulating reimbursement under various government programs. The marketing, invoicing, documenting and other practices of health care suppliers and manufacturers are all subject to government scrutiny. Most of the Company's facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA or similar agencies in other jurisdictions. Violations of law or regulations can result in administrative, civil and criminal penalties and sanctions, including disqualification from Medicare and other reimbursement programs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

On November 15, 2013, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on May 24, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch and A. Malachi Mixon III in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to properly disclose the issues that the Company has faced with the FDA. The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for purchasers of the Company's common shares between July 22, 2010 and December 7, 2011. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On February 14, 2014, an amended complaint, in a lawsuit originally instituted on August 26, 2013, was filed against Invacare Corporation, Gerald B. Blouch, A. Malachi Mixon III and Patricia Stumpp, as well as outside directors Dale C. LaPorte, Michael F. Delaney and Charles S. Robb, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and violated the Employment Retirement Security Act (ERISA) in the administration and maintenance of the Company stock fund in the Company’s Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) Plan). The lawsuit seeks class certification and unspecified damages and attorneys' fees for participants in the Company's stock fund of the 401(k) Plan between July 22, 2010 and the present. This lawsuit has been referred to the Company's insurance carriers. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Medical Device Regulatory Matters

The FDA regulates virtually all aspects of the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, promotion, distribution and marketing of a medical device. The Company and its products are subject to the laws and regulations of the FDA and other regulatory bodies in the various jurisdictions where the Company's products are manufactured or sold. The Company's failure to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other applicable medical device regulatory requirements can subject the Company to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions. These sanctions include injunctions, consent decrees, warning letters, civil penalties, criminal penalties, product seizure or detention, product recalls and total or partial suspension of production.

In December 2012, the Company reached agreement with the FDA on the terms of the consent decree of injunction with respect to the Company's Corporate facility and its Taylor Street wheelchair manufacturing facility in Elyria, Ohio. A complaint and consent decree were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, and on December 21, 2012, the Court approved the consent decree and it became effective. The consent decree limits the Company's manufacture and distribution of power and manual wheelchairs, wheelchair components and wheelchair sub-assemblies at or from its Taylor Street manufacturing facility. The decree also temporarily limited design activities related to wheelchairs and power beds that take place at the impacted Elyria, Ohio facilities. The Company is entitled to continue to produce from the Taylor Street manufacturing facility certain medically necessary wheelchairs provided that documentation and record-keeping requirements are followed, as well as ongoing replacement, service and repair of products already in use, under terms delineated in the consent decree. Under the terms of the consent decree, in order to resume full operations at the impacted facilities, the Company must successfully complete a third-party expert certification audit at the impacted Elyria facilities, which is comprised of three distinct reports that must be submitted to, and accepted by, the FDA. After the final certification report is submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report as to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the Quality System Regulation (QSR) governing the manufacture of medical devices and the terms of the consent decree. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

During 2013, the Company completed the first two of the expert certification audits, and the FDA found the results of both to be acceptable. In these reports, the third-party expert certified that the Company's equipment and process validation procedures and its design control systems are compliant with the FDA's QSR. As a result of the FDA's acceptance of the first certification report on May 13, 2013, the Taylor Street facility was able to resume supplying parts and components for the further manufacturing of medical devices at other Company facilities. The Company's receipt of the FDA's acceptance of the second certification report on July 15, 2013, resulted in the Company being able to resume design activities at the impacted facilities related to power wheelchairs and power beds.

The third, most comprehensive expert certification audit is a comprehensive review of the Company's compliance with the FDA's QSR at the impacted Elyria facilities. At the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is continuing its work with the third-party expert auditor on the final certification audit process. This audit is the most comprehensive and challenging of the three expert certification audits, and it encompasses all areas of the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street quality system. The Company needs to better demonstrate that its quality system is sustainably compliant and that each subsystem is properly integrated. In order to address these needs, the Company as engaged additional consultants to help improve the functionality and capabilities of certain of its quality subsystems. The Company respects the comprehensive nature of the audit process and is working diligently to be in a position to ultimately demonstrate compliance to the third-party expert auditor and subsequently, the FDA.

The Company cannot predict the timing of the completion or the outcome of the third-party expert’s final certification report. However, after the expert's certification report is completed and submitted to the FDA, as well as the Company’s own report related to its compliance status together with its responses to any observations in the certification report, the FDA is expected to inspect the Company's Corporate and Taylor Street facilities to determine whether they are in compliance with the FDA's QSR and the consent decree. If the FDA is satisfied with the Company's compliance, the FDA will provide written notification that the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the impacted facilities.

After resumption of full operations, the Company must undergo five years of audits by a third-party expert auditor to determine whether the facilities are in continuous compliance with FDA's QSR and the consent decree. The auditor will inspect the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities’ activities every six months during the first year following the resumption of full operations and then every 12 months for the next four years thereafter.

As described above, because the limitations on production are expected to be temporary in nature, and partial production is allowed, the Company does not anticipate any major repair, replacement or scrapping of its fixed assets at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility. Based on the Company's expectations at the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the utilization of such raw material and with respect to expected future cash flows from production at the Taylor Street manufacturing facility, the Company concluded that there is no impairment in the value of the fixed assets related to the Taylor Street manufacturing facility at June 30, 2014.

The majority of the production from the Taylor Street facility is "made to order" custom wheelchairs for customers and, as a result, there was not a significant amount of finished goods inventory on hand at June 30, 2014, and the inventory is expected to be fully utilized. Accordingly, the Company concluded that there was not an impairment of the work in process and finished goods at the Taylor Street facility at June 30, 2014. Further, based on its analysis of the raw material inventory at the Taylor Street facility and the Company's expectations at the time of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with respect to the time frame for completion of the third-party expert certification audits and FDA inspection, the Company concluded that the value of the inventory was not excessive or impaired at June 30, 2014. However, if the Company's expectations regarding the impacts of the limitations in the consent decree or the time frame for completion of the third-party expert certification audits and FDA inspection were to change, the Company may, in future periods, conclude that an impairment exists with respect to its fixed assets or inventory at the Taylor Street facility.

Although the North America/HME segment is the segment primarily impacted by the limitations in the FDA consent decree, the Asia/Pacific segment also is negatively affected as a result of the consent decree due to the lower sales volume of microprocessor controllers. During 2012, before the effective date of the consent decree, the Company started to experience decreases in net sales in the North America/HME and Asia/Pacific segments. The Company believes that those decreases were driven in large part by the consent decree which has led to delays in new product introductions and to uncertainty regarding the timing of exiting the consent decree, which limited the Company's ability to renegotiate and bid on certain customer contracts and otherwise led to a decline in customer orders.  Separately, net sales in the North America/HME segment were likely impacted by uncertainty on the part of the Company's customers as they coped with prepayment reviews and post-payment audits by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") and contemplated their participation in the next round of National Competitive Bidding ("NCB"). The negative effect of the consent decree on customer orders and net sales in these segments has been considerable, and the Company expects to experience continued low levels in net sales as a result of the limitations imposed by the consent decree. The Company expects to continue to experience lower levels of net sales in the North America/HME and Asia/Pacific segments at least until it has successfully completed the previously-described third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection and has received written notification from the FDA that the Company may resume full operations at the Corporate and Taylor Street facilities. Even after the Company is permitted to resume full operations at the affected facilities, it is uncertain as to whether, or how quickly, the Company will be able to rebuild net sales to more typical historical levels, irrespective of market conditions. Accordingly, when compared to the Company's 2010 results, the limitations in the consent decree had, and likely will continue to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

For additional information regarding the consent decree, please see the following sections of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013: Item 1. Business - Government Regulation and Item 1A. Risk Factors and the following sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q: Item 1. Legal Proceedings; and Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Outlook and - Liquidity and Capital Resources.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded additional warranty expense related to the power wheelchair joystick recall of $2,237,000 ($2,100,000 after-tax), which impacted the North America/HME segment by $1,171,000 after-tax and the Asia/Pacific segment by $929,000 after-tax. The increase in the Company's estimate of total cost related to this matter is attributable to higher than previously anticipated response rates from larger customers in United States and Canada. As previously indicated, the reserve is subject to adjustments as new developments change the Company's estimate of the total cost of this matter.

In addition, in December 2010, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA related to quality system processes and procedures at the Company's Sanford, Florida facility. The Company has taken actions which it believes address all of the FDA's concerns in the warning letter. However, the results of regulatory claims, proceedings, investigations, or litigation are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution or outcome of the FDA warning letter could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Any of the above contingencies could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Business Segments

The Company operates in four primary business segments: North America/Home Medical Equipment (North America/HME), Institutional Products Group (IPG), Europe and Asia/Pacific.

The North America/HME segment sells each of three primary product lines, which includes: lifestyle, mobility and seating and respiratory therapy products. IPG sells or rents long-term care medical equipment, health care furnishings and accessory products. Europe and Asia/Pacific sell product lines similar to North America/HME and IPG.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes for each reportable segment. The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are based on the costs to manufacture plus a reasonable profit element. Therefore, intercompany profit or loss on intersegment sales and transfers is not considered in evaluating segment performance except for Asia/Pacific due to its significant intercompany sales volume relative to the segment.

The information by segment is as follows (in thousands):

Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]

Guarantees [Text Block]

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Effective February 12, 2007, substantially all of the domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) of the Company became guarantors of the indebtedness of Invacare Corporation under its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027 (the “Debentures”) with an original aggregate principal amount of $135,000,000. The majority of the Company’s subsidiaries are not guaranteeing the indebtedness of the Debentures (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, to pay principal, premium, and interest related to the Debentures and each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are directly or indirectly 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Specifically, the Debentures are guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's existing domestic subsidiaries (other than the Company's captive insurance subsidiary and any receivables subsidiaries) and certain future direct and indirect 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. All of the guarantors are released and relieved of any liability under such guarantees upon the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture governing the debentures and the payment in full of the debentures. Additionally, in the event any subsidiary guarantor no longer guarantees any of the Company's existing or future senior debt incurred in a public or private U.S. capital markets transaction, such guarantor shall be released and relieved of any liability which it has under the indenture governing the debentures.

Presented below are the consolidating condensed financial statements of Invacare Corporation (Parent), its combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not believe that separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are material to investors and accordingly, separate financial statements and other disclosures related to the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented.

Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2014

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and include all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and changes in its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries, represented by the European segment, are consolidated using a May 31 quarter end in order to meet filing deadlines. No material subsequent events have occurred related to the European segment, which would require disclosure or adjustment to the Company's financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.  The results of operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates: The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 in the first quarter of 2014 with no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets or Statement of Cash Flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-11 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. This standard must be prospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. If applicable, this standard will change the presentation of the Company's financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires five steps to be applied: 1) identify the contract(s) with customers, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocated the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires both quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which are more comprehensive than existing revenue standards. The disclosures are intended to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flow. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements.

Discontinued Operations [Abstract]

Discontinuted Operations

Discontinued Operations

On December 21, 2012, as part of the Company's globalization strategy, and to allow it to focus on its core equipment product lines, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Invacare Supply Group (ISG) and accordingly, the Company determined on that date that the "held for sale" criteria of ASC 360-10-45-9 were met. On January 18, 2013, the Company completed the sale of the ISG medical supplies business to AssuraMed, Inc. for a purchase price of $150,800,000 in cash. ISG had been operated on a stand-alone basis and reported as a reportable segment of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $59,402,000 pre-tax in the first quarter of 2013 which represented the excess of the net sales price over the book value of the assets and liabilities of ISG, excluding cash. The sale of this business was dilutive to the Company's results. The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility in the first quarter of 2013. The Company recorded expenses related to the sale of $5,350,000, of which $5,227,000 were paid as of June 30, 2014. The net sales and earnings before income taxes of the ISG discontinued operation were $18,498,000 and $402,000, retrospectively, for the six months endedJune 30, 2013.

On August 6, 2013, the Company sold Champion Manufacturing, Inc. (Champion), its domestic medical recliner business for dialysis clinics, to Champion Equity Holdings, LLC for $45,000,000 in cash, which is subject to final post-closing adjustments. Champion had been operated on a stand-alone basis and reported as part of the IPG segment of the Company. The Company recorded a gain of $22,761,000 pre-tax in the third quarter of 2013, which represented the excess of the net sales price over the book value of the assets and liabilities of Champion. The sale of this business was dilutive to the Company's results. The Company utilized the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility in the third quarter of 2013. The Company recorded expenses related to the sale of $2,130,000, of which $1,542,000 were paid as of June 30, 2014. The gain recorded by the Company reflects the Company's estimated final purchase adjustments.

The net sales and earnings before income taxes of the Champion discontinued operation were $13,214,000 and $2,672,000for the six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively. Results for Champion include an interest expense allocation from continuing operations to discontinued operations of $371,000for the six months endedJune 30, 2013 as proceeds from the sale were required to be utilized to pay down debt. The interest allocation was based on the net proceeds assumed to pay down debt applying the Company's average interest rates for the periods presented.

The Company recorded an incremental intra-period tax allocation expense to discontinued operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2013 representing the cumulative intra-period allocation expense to discontinued operations based on the Company's June 30, 2013 estimate of the projected domestic taxable loss related to continuing operations for 2013.

The Company has classified ISG and Champion as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Charges Related To Restructuring Activities

Charges Related to Restructuring Activities

The Company's restructuring charges recorded since 2011 were necessitated primarily by continued declines in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement by the U.S. government, as well as similar healthcare reimbursement pressures abroad, which negatively affect the Company's customers (e.g. home health care providers) and continued pricing pressures faced by the Company as a result of outsourcing by competitors to lower cost locations. In addition, restructuring decisions were also the result of reduced profitability in the North America/HME segment impacted by the FDA consent decree. While the Company's restructuring efforts have been executed on a timely basis resulting in operating cost savings, the savings have been more than offset by continued margin decline, principally as a result of product mix, reduced volumes and regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements which are unrelated to the restructuring actions. The Company expects any near-term cost savings from restructuring will be offset by the continued investment in regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements at least until the Company has completed its quality systems remediation efforts, and reduced net sales in the North America/HME segment at least until the Company has successfully completed the previously described third-party expert certification audit and FDA inspection and has received written notification from the FDA that the Company may resume full operations.

The Company's restructuring commenced in the second quarter of 2011 with the Company's decision to close the Hong, Denmark assembly facility as part of the Company's ongoing globalization initiative to reduce complexity in the Company's supply chain, which is intended to reduce expenses to help offset pricing pressures. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company continued to execute on the closure of the Hong, Denmark assembly facility and initiated the closure of a smaller facility in the U.S. Charges for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were primarily incurred at the Company's corporate headquarters for severance, with additional costs incurred as a result of the closure of the Hong, Denmark facility. The facility closures were completed in 2012 in addition to the elimination of various positions principally in the North America/Home Medical Equipment (HME) and Asia/Pacific segments.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $10,534,000 including charges for severance ($8,352,000), contract exit costs primarily related to the closure of the Hong, Denmark assembly facility ($1,788,000) and inventory write-offs ($277,000) recorded in cost of products sold and other miscellaneous costs ($117,000). The majority of the 2011 North America/HME charges were incurred for severance, primarily at the corporate headquarters as the result of the elimination of various positions principally in sales and administration in Elyria, Ohio. These eliminations were permanent reductions in workforce which primarily resulted in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses. In Europe, the charges were the result of the closure of the Company's Hong, Denmark facility. The assembly activities were transferred to other Company facilities or outsourced to third parties. This closure enabled the Company to reduce fixed operating costs related to the facility and reduce headcount with the transfer of a portion of the production to other Company facilities. The 2011 charges have now been paid out and were funded with operating cash flows.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $11,395,000 including charges for severance ($6,775,000), lease termination costs ($1,725,000), building and asset write-downs, primarily related to the closure of the Hong, Denmark assemblyfacility, and other miscellaneous charges in Europe and Asia/Pacific ($2,404,000) and inventory write-offs ($491,000) in Asia/Pacific recorded in cost of products sold. Severance charges were primarily incurred in the North America/HME segment ($4,242,000), Asia/Pacific segment ($1,681,000) and Europe segment ($817,000). The charges were incurred as a result of the elimination of various positions as part of the Company's globalization initiatives. In addition, a portion of the North America/HME segment severance was related to positions eliminated, principally in sales and marketing as well as manufacturing, at the Company's Taylor Street facility as a result of the FDA consent decree. The savings from these charges have been reflected primarily in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and manufacturing expenses for the Company. In Europe, positions were eliminated as a result of finalizing the exit from the manufacturing facility in Denmark and an elimination of a senior management position in Switzerland. In Asia/Pacific, at the end of October 2012, the Company's management approved a plan to restructure the Company's operations in this segment. In Australia, the Company consolidated offices / warehouses, decreased staffing and exited various activities while returning to a focus on distribution. At the Company's subsidiary, which produces microprocessor controllers, the Company decided to cease the contract manufacturing business for companies outside of the healthcare industry. Payments for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $9,381,000 and were funded with operating cash flows. The majority of the 2012 charges have now been paid out.

Charges for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $9,336,000 including charges for severance ($8,282,000), lease termination costs ($698,000) and other miscellaneous charges principally in North America/HME ($356,000). Severance charges were primarily incurred in the North America/HME segment ($5,405,000), Europe segment ($1,640,000) and Asia/Pacific segment ($970,000). The charges were incurred as a result of the elimination of various positions as part of the Company's globalization initiatives. North America/HME segment severance was principally related to positions eliminated due to lost sales volumes resulting from the impact of the FDA consent decree. The savings from these charges have been reflected primarily in reduced selling, general and administrative expenses and manufacturing expenses for the Company. In Europe, severance was incurred for the elimination of certain sales and supply chain positions. In Asia/Pacific, severance was principally incurred at the Company's microprocessor controller production subsidiary as a result of the Company's decision in 2012 to cease the contract manufacturing business for companies outside of the healthcare industry. The lease termination costs were principally related to Australia as a result of the restructuring announced in 2012. Payments for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $11,844,000 and were funded with operating cash flows and cash on hand. The majority of the 2013 charges are expected to be paid out in 2014.

Restructuring continued during 2014 resulting in restructuring charges of $4,330,000 in the first six months of 2014 related to severance costs ($2,818,000) and other costs ($1,512,000), which principally included building write-downs in the Europe and IPG segments. The severance costs were incurred principally in the NA/HME segment, and to a lesser extent the Europe and IPG segments. The building write-down in the IPG segment was associated with the previously announced closure of the London, Canada facility. The building write-down in the European segment was associated with a facility in Sweden, which the Company exited in 2011. Payments for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $4,975,000 and were funded with the Company's credit facility. The majority of the outstanding charge accruals at June 30, 2014 are expected to be paid out within the next twelve months.

There have been no material changes in accrued balances related to the charges, either as a result of revisions in the plan or changes in estimates. In addition, the savings anticipated as a result of the Company's restructuring plans have been or are expected to be achieved, primarily resulting in reduced salary and benefit costs principally impacting Selling, General and Administrative expenses, and to a lesser extent, Costs of Products Sold. However, to date, these savings have been more than offset by continued margin decline, principally as a result of product mix, and higher regulatory and compliance costs related to quality system improvements and reduced net sales volumes primarily related to mobility and seating products impacted by the consent decree, which are unrelated to the restructuring actions.

A progression by reporting segment of the accruals recorded as a result of the restructuring is as follows (in thousands):

Nature of Operations: Invacare Corporation is a leading manufacturer and distributor of medical equipment used in the home or institutional setting based upon the Company’s distribution channels, breadth of product line and net sales. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes an extensive line of health care products for the non-acute care environment, including the home health care, retail and extended care markets.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and include all adjustments, which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 and changes in its cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Certain foreign subsidiaries, represented by the European segment, are consolidated using a May 31 quarter end in order to meet filing deadlines. No material subsequent events have occurred related to the European segment, which would require disclosure or adjustment to the Company's financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.  The results of operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Use of Estimates: The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of a) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and b) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-04 in the first quarter of 2014 with no impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Balance Sheets or Statement of Cash Flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, with limited exceptions. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. ASU 2013-11 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2014 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. This standard must be prospectively applied to all reporting periods presented in financial reports issued after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. If applicable, this standard will change the presentation of the Company's financial statements but will not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 requires a company to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance requires five steps to be applied: 1) identify the contract(s) with customers, 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocated the transaction price to the performance obligation in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The guidance also requires both quantitative and qualitative disclosures, which are more comprehensive than existing revenue standards. The disclosures are intended to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and the related cash flow. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company's financial statements.

Warrany Costs

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2014

Accrued Liabilities, Current [Abstract]

Current Liabilities

Generally, the Company's products are covered by warranties against defects in material and workmanship for various periods depending on the product from the date of sales to the customer. Certain components carry a lifetime warranty. A provision for estimated warranty cost is recorded at the time of sale based upon actual experience. The Company continuously assesses the adequacy of its product warranty accrual and makes adjustments as needed. Historical analysis is primarily used to determine the Company's warranty reserves. Claims history is reviewed and provisions are adjusted as needed. However, the Company does consider other events, such as a product recall, which could warrant additional warranty reserve provision. The increase in the liability for pre-existing warranties in 2014 is primarily the result of product recalls. The warranty accrual as of June 30, 2014 includes additional warranty expense related to the power wheelchair joystick recall of $2,237,000 ($2,100,000 after-tax) provided for during the first quarter of 2014, which impacted the North America/HME segment by $1,171,000 after-tax and the Asia/Pacific segment by $929,000 after-tax. The increase in the Company's estimate of total cost related to this matter is attributable to higher than previously anticipated response rates from larger customers in United States and Canada. As previously indicated, the reserve is subject to adjustments as new developments change the Company's estimate of the total cost of this matter.

The following is a reconciliation of the changes in accrued warranty costs for the reporting period (in thousands):

Balance as of January 1, 2014	$	27,393
Warranties provided during the period	6,964
Settlements made during the period	(11,171		)

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") by and among the Company, the other Borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, which amended and restated the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2010, by and among the Company and the other parties named therein, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things, provides for the following:

• An increase in the maximum leverage ratio for the first three quarters of 2014, with quarterly ratios as described in the following table:

Fiscal Quarter Ending	Maximum Leverage Ratio
March 31, 2014	4.75	to	1.00
June 30, 2014	4.50	to	1.00
September 30, 2014	4.00	to	1.00
December 31, 2014 and thereafter	3.50	to	1.00

The quarterly minimum interest coverage ratio remains 3.50 to 1.00 in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

• In calculating the Company’s EBITDA for purposes of determining the leverage and interest coverage ratios, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows the Company to add back to EBITDA up to $20,000,000 for one-time cash restructuring charges incurred after May 30, 2013, which is an incremental increase of $5,000,000 from the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

• A decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facility to $100,000,000 from $250,000,000 through the maturity date of the facility in October 2015, as well as reductions in the facility’s swing line loan, optional currency and foreign borrower sublimits.

• Reductions in the allowances under the facility for capital expenditures (down to $25,000,000 annually), dividends, other indebtedness and liens.

• Further restrictions on acquisitions, share repurchases, certain investments and repurchases of convertible debt until after the Company confirms compliance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement following the quarter ending December 31, 2014.

• An increase of 25 basis points in the margin applicable to determining the interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

As a result of the amendment, the Company incurred $351,000 in fees in the first quarter of 2014 which were capitalized and are being amortized through October, 2015. In addition, as a result of reducing the capacity of the facility from $250,000,000 to $100,000,000, the Company wrote-off $1,070,000 in previously capitalized fees in the first quarter of 2014, which is reflected in the expense of the North America / HME segment.

In 2007, the Company issued $135,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027. The debentures are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, pay interest at 4.125% per annum on each February 1 and August 1, and are convertible upon satisfaction of certain conditions into cash, common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and common shares of the Company, subject to certain conditions. The debentures allow the Company to satisfy the conversion using any combination of cash or stock, and at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to satisfy the accreted value of the debentures using cash. Assuming adequate cash on hand at the time of conversion, the Company also intends to satisfy the conversion spread using cash, as opposed to stock.

The Company may from time to time seek to retire or purchase its 4.125% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2027, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

The liability components of the Company’s convertible debt consist of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Principal amount of liability component	$	13,350		$	13,350
Unamortized discount	(2,364		)	(2,709		)
Net carrying amount of liability component	$	10,986		$	10,641

As of June 30, 2014, the weighted average floating interest rate on revolving credit borrowings was 2.28% compared to 2.39% as of December 31, 2013.

Income Taxes

The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 29.2% and 20.2% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, compared to an expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to the negative impact of the Company not being able to record tax benefits related to the significant losses in countries which had tax valuation allowances. The rate benefitted by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

The Company had an effective tax rate provision of 76.6% and 11.6% on losses before tax from continuing operations for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the expected benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 35%. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013 was higher than the beneficial U.S. federal statutory rate, principally due to losses overseas without tax benefit due to valuation allowances and an adjustment to the domestic intraperiod tax allocation due to the impact of a discrete tax expense of $9,702,000 ($0.30 per share) related to dividends for earnings previously deemed permanently reinvested overseas received in the U.S. during the second quarter. The rate benefitted by taxes recognized outside the United States, excluding countries with tax valuation allowances that were in losses in 2013, at an effective rate lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Derivatives

ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheet as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative is dependent upon whether or not the derivative has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment and the type of hedging relationship. For derivatives designated and qualifying as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

The Company uses derivative instruments in an attempt to manage its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. Foreign forward exchange contracts are used to manage the price risk associated with forecasted sales denominated in foreign currencies and the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of inventory over the next twelve months. Interest rate swaps are, at times, utilized to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings.

The Company recognizes its derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value. A majority of the Company’s derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

During a portion of 2014 and all of 2013, the Company was a party to interest rate swap agreements that qualified as cash flow hedges and effectively converted floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt, so the Company could avoid the risk of changes in market interest rates. The gains or losses on interest rate swaps are reflected in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

To protect against increases/decreases in forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from inventory purchases/sales over the next year, the Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge portions of its forecasted purchases/sales denominated in foreign currencies. The gains and losses are included in cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). If it is later determined that a hedged forecasted transaction is unlikely to occur, any prospective gains or losses on the forward contracts would be recognized in earnings. The Company does not expect any material amount of hedge ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges during the next twelve months.

The Company has historically not recognized any material amount of ineffectiveness related to forward contract cash flow hedges because the Company generally limits its hedges to between 60% and 90% of total forecasted transactions for a given entity’s exposure to currency rate changes and the transactions hedged are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the majority of the hedged transactions are related to intercompany sales and purchases for which settlement occurs on a specific day each month. Forward contracts with a total notional amount in USD of $41,504,000 and $75,127,000 matured for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 compared to forward contracts with a total notional amount in USD of $47,179,000 and $80,673,000 that matured for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013.

Derivatives Not Qualifying or Designated for Hedge Accounting Treatment

The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedges in accordance with ASC 815. These contracts are entered into to eliminate the risk associated with the settlement of short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables between Invacare Corporation and its foreign subsidiaries. The currency forward contracts are entered into at the same time as the intercompany receivables or payables are created so that upon settlement, the gain/loss on the settlement is offset by the gain/loss on the foreign currency forward contract. No material net gain or loss was realized by the Company in 2014 or 2013 related to these contracts and the associated short-term intercompany trading receivables and payables.

Foreign currency forward exchange contracts not qualifying or designated for hedge accounting treatment entered into in 2014 and 2013, respectively, and outstanding were as follows (in thousands USD):

The gains or losses recognized as the result of the settlement of cash flow hedge foreign currency forward contracts are recognized in net sales for hedges of inventory sales and in cost of product sold for hedges of inventory purchases. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, net sales were decreased by $138,000 and $148,000 while cost of product sold was increased by $251,000 and $384,000 for net pre-tax realized losses of $389,000 and $532,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net sales were increased by $306,000 and $442,000 while cost of product sold was decreased by $31,000 and increased by $325,000 for net realized pre-tax gains of $337,000 and $117,000, respectively.

The Company recognized pre-tax expense of $12,000 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to pre-tax expense of $59,000 and $126,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements, which is reflected in interest expense on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

A gain of $201,000 and a loss of $144,000 were recognized in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2014, respectively, compared to gains of $1,427,000 and $256,000for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2013, respectively, on ineffective forward contracts and forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments that were entered into to offset gains/losses that were also recorded in SG&A expenses on intercompany trade receivables or payables. Any gains/losses on the non-designated hedging instruments were substantially offset by gains/losses also recorded in SG&A expenses on intercompany trade payables.

The Company has entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and, at times, interest rate swap contracts (the “agreements”) with various bank counterparties, each of which are subject to provisions which are similar to a master netting agreement. The agreements provide for a net settlement payment in a single currency upon a default by the Company. Furthermore, the agreements provide the counterparty with a right of set off in the event of a default that would enable the counterparty to offset any net payment due by the counterparty to the Company under the applicable agreement by any amount due by the Company to the counterparty under any other agreement. For example, the terms of the agreement would permit a counterparty to a derivative contract that is also a lender under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to reduce any derivative settlement amounts owed to the Company under the derivative contract by any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Company under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. In addition, the agreements contain cross-default provisions that could trigger a default by the Company under the agreement in the event of a default by the Company under another agreement with the same counterparty. The Company does not present any derivatives on a net basis in its financial statements and all derivative balances presented are subject to provisions that are similar to master netting agreements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Values

Pursuant to ASC 820, the inputs used to derive the fair value of assets and liabilities are analyzed and assigned a level I, II or III priority, with level I being the highest and level III being the lowest in the hierarchy. Level I inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level II inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets: quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level III inputs are based on valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis (in thousands).

				Basis for Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date

Forward Contracts: The Company operates internationally and as a result is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. Specifically, the exposure includes intercompany loans and third party sales or payments. In an attempt to reduce this exposure, foreign currency forward contracts are utilized and accounted for as hedging instruments. The forward contracts are used to hedge the following currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, MXP, NOK, NZD, SEK and USD. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Fair values for the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities.

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
	Carrying Value			Fair Value			Carrying Value			Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	23,001		$	23,001		$	29,785		$	29,785

Interest rate swap agreements in Accrued Expenses	—			—			(12		)	(12		)

The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, used the following methods and assumptions:

Cash, cash equivalents: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents equals its fair value.

Other investments: The Company has made other investments in limited partnerships and non-marketable equity securities, which are accounted for using the cost method, adjusted for any estimated declines in value. These investments were acquired in private placements and there are no quoted market prices or stated rates of return. The Company does not have the ability to easily sell these investments.

Installment receivables: The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for installment receivables approximates its fair value. The interest rates associated with these receivables have not varied significantly since inception. Management believes that after consideration of the credit risk, the net book value of the installment receivables approximates market value.

Long-term debt: Fair values for the Company’s convertible debt is based on quoted market-based estimates as of the end of the period, while the revolving credit facility fair values are based upon the Company’s estimate of the market for similar borrowing arrangements. The fair values are deemed to be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Forward contracts and interest rate swaps: Fair values for the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts are based on quoted market prices for contracts with similar maturities, while the fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on model-derived calculations using inputs that are observable in active markets.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity Transactions

Shareholders’ Equity Transactions

On May 16, 2013, the shareholders of the Company approved the Invacare Corporation 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was adopted on March 27, 2013 by the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board adopted the 2013 Plan because the ten-year term of the Company's prior equity plan, the Invacare Corporation Amended and Restated 2003 Performance Plan (the “2003 Plan”), expired on May 21, 2013. No new awards will be granted under the 2003 Plan following its expiration, but awards granted prior to its expiration will remain in effect under their original terms.

The 2013 Plan uses a fungible share-counting method, under which each common share underlying an award of stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) will count against the number of total shares available under the 2013 Plan as one share; and each common share underlying any award other than a stock option or a SAR will count against the number of total shares available under the 2013 Plan as two shares. Any common shares that are added back to the 2013 Plan as the result of the cancellation or forfeiture of an award granted under the 2013 Plan will be added back in the same manner such shares were originally counted against the total number of shares available under the 2013 Plan. Each common share that is added back to the 2013 Plan due to a cancellation or forfeiture of an award granted under the 2003 Plan will be added back as one common share.

The Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”), in its discretion, may grant an award under the 2013 Plan to any director or employee of the Company or an affiliate. The 2013 Plan initially allows the Compensation Committee to grant up to 4,460,337 common shares in connection with the following types of awards with respect to shares of the Company's common shares: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, and performance shares. The Compensation Committee also may grant performance units that are payable in cash. The Committee has the authority to determine which participants will receive awards, the amount of the awards and the other terms and conditions of the awards. 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $15,415,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company's 2013 Plan and previous plans, which is related to non-vested options and shares, and includes $6,490,000 related to restricted stock awards, $6,148,000 related to non-qualified stock options and $2,777,000 related to performance share awards. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for future changes in actual and estimated forfeitures and for updated vesting assumptions for the performance share awards (see "Performance Shares and Performance Share Units" below). No tax benefit for share-based compensation was realized during 2014 or 2013 as a result of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

The amount of amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized under the provisions of Compensation-Stock Compensation, ASC 718 was as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Stock-based compensation expense recognized as part of selling, general and administrative expense	$	1,771	$	1,414	$	2,470	$	2,574

Stock Options

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Compensation Committee granted 8,977 non-qualified stock options. Generally, non-qualified stock option awards typically have a term of ten years and are granted at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of grant. Compensation expense of $1,356,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to stock options previously awarded. The Company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

The following table summarizes information about stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

	June 30, 2014			Weighted Average Exercise Price

 ________________________

 * Shares available for grant as of June 30, 2014 reduced by net restricted stock and restricted stock unit award and performance share and performance share unit award activity of 387,068 shares and 440,600 shares, respectively during the quarter.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2014:

	Options Outstanding				Options Exercisable
Exercise Prices	Number Outstanding At 6/30/14	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Number Exercisable At 6/30/14	Weighted Average Exercise Price
$ 12.42 – $15.00	1,222,011	8.4	$	13.95	307,617	$	13.97

Total	4,354,708	5.2	$	24.02	3,095,001	$	26.95

When stock options have been awarded, they generally become exercisable over a four -year vesting period whereby options vest in equal installments each year. Options granted with graded vesting are accounted for as single options. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with assumptions for expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected life. The assumed expected life is based on the Company's historical analysis of option history. The expected stock price volatility is also based on actual historical volatility, and expected dividend yield is based on historical dividends as the Company has no current intention of changing its dividend policy.

The 2013 Plan provides that shares granted come from the Company's authorized but unissued common shares or treasury shares. In addition, the Company's stock-based compensation plans allow employee participants to exchange shares for minimum withholding taxes, which results in the Company acquiring treasury shares.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 193,534 restricted shares and restricted share units (for non-U.S. recipients) were granted without cost to the recipients, 25,016 restricted shares were forfeited, and 27,925 restricted shares vested. The awards granted during the first quarter are subject to three year cliff vesting and thus vest in their entirety on May 15, 2017. The awards of restricted shares/units are classified as equity awards as they are issued as common shares, or will be settled in common shares upon vesting. The fair value of the awards is based on the stock price on the date of grant discounted for the estimated value of dividends foregone as the awards are not eligible for dividends except to the extent vested. The fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20.01 per share. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the service period and $867,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to restricted shares/units and there were shares/units outstanding totaling 558,271 shares that were not vested. The Company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.

Performance Shares and Performance Share Units

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, an aggregate of 152,800 performance shares and performance share units (for non-U.S. recipients) were granted as performance awards with a 3 year performance period with payouts based on achievement of certain performance goals. There was no vesting of performance awards during the period and 7,400 awards were cancelled. The awards are classified as equity awards as they will be settled in common shares upon vesting. The number of shares earned will be determined at the end of the performance period based on achievement of performance criteria for January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 established by the Compensation Committee at the time of grant. Recipients will be entitled to receive a number of common shares equal to the number of performance shares that vest based upon the levels of achievement which may range between 0% and 150% of the target number of shares with the target being 100% of the initial grant.

The fair value of the performance awards is based on the stock price on the date of grant discounted for the estimated value of dividends foregone as the awards are not eligible for dividends except to the extent vested. The fair value of the awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $20.05 per share. The Company assesses the probability that the performance targets will be met with expense recognized whenever it is probable that at least the minimum performance criteria will be achieved. Depending upon the Company's assessment of the probability of achievement of the goals, the Company may not recognize any expense associated with performance awards in a given period, may reverse prior expense recorded or record additional expense to make up for expense not recorded in a prior period. Compensation expense of $247,000 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to performance awards. The Company expects the compensation expense to be recognized over 3.0 years.
