INTRICON CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited) (In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
1.	General
	In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly IntriCon Corporation’s (“IntriCon” or the “Company”) consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year or any other interim period.
	On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global restructuring plan to accelerate future growth and reduce costs by approximately $3.0 million annually. As part of the restructuring, the Company sold its security and certain microphone and receiver operations on January 27, 2014 to Sierra Peaks Corporation. For all periods presented, the Company classified these businesses as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, has reclassified historical financial data presented herein (Note 4).
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements.
2.	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
3.	Restructuring Charges
	On June 13, 2013 the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas and to reduce costs. The plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 12, 2013. As part of this plan, the Company: reduced investment in certain non-core professional audio communications product lines; transferred specific product lines from Singapore to the Company’s lower-cost manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia; reduced global administrative and support workforce; transferred the medical coil operations from the Company’s Maine facility to Minnesota to better leverage existing manufacturing capacity; sold its remaining security, microphone and receiver operations; added experienced professionals in value hearing health; and focused more resources in medical biotelemetry. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $83, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $199, respectively. These charges are primarily related to employee termination benefits from the restructuring of its continuing operations. In the future, the Company does not expect to incur any additional cash charges related to this restructuring.
4.	Discontinued Operations
	On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth and reduce costs. See Notes 1 and 3 for additional information. As part of the global strategic restructuring plan, the Company decided to exit the security and certain microphone and receiver businesses. On January 27, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the security business and certain microphone and receiver businesses of IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation, IntriCon’s wholly owned subsidiary based in Camden, Maine, to Sierra Peaks Corporation, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on January 27, 2014 between Sierra Peaks Corporation, as the buyer, and IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation as the seller. Sierra Peaks Corporation paid $500 cash at closing for the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of the businesses.

Management considered the global strategic restructuring plan a triggering event and therefore, in June 2013, the Company evaluated the related assets for impairment and recorded non-cash impairment charges of $983 to the Company’s results from discontinued operations. Throughout the remainder of 2013, the Company continued to evaluate the remaining assets for further impairment indicators and, with the continued decline in U.S. Government revenues due to the government sequestration and government shut-down, the Company concluded that an additional non-cash impairment charge of $717 was required for accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, and other assets. These charges were recorded in the Company’s results from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. See further information below.

In determining the nonrecurring fair value measurements of impairment of goodwill and other short and long-term assets, the Company utilized the market value approach, considering the fair value of security, microphone and receiver net assets held for sale or disposition. Based on the market value assessment, the Company determined fair values for the identified assets and incurred impairment charges for the remaining book value of the assets during the 12 months ended December 31, 2013 as set forth in the table below. These charges were reflected in the Company’s discontinued operations in 2013 and had no impact for 2014.

	Fair value as of measurement date		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)		Impairment Charge
Long-lived assets of discontinued operations	$	131	$	—	$	—	$	131	$	604
Goodwill of discontinued operations		—		—		—		—		515
Accounts Receivable		350		—		—		350		73
Inventory		26		—		—		26		468
Other Assets		3		—		—		3		40

5.	Product Warranty
	In general, the Company warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship and will fully conform to and perform to specifications for a period of one year. The following table presents changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013:

	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Beginning balance	$	72		$	73
Warranty expense		104			123
Closed warranty claims		(85	)		(124	)

6.	Geographic Information
	The geographical distribution of long-lived assets to geographical areas consisted of the following at:

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
United States	$	3,201	$	3,402
Other – primarily Asia		1,020		1,337
Consolidated	$	4,221	$	4,739

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment that are difficult to move and relatively illiquid. Excluded from long-lived assets are investments in partnerships, patents, license agreements and goodwill. The Company capitalizes long-lived assets pertaining to the production of specialized parts. These assets are periodically reviewed to assure the net realizable value from the estimated future production based on forecasted cash flows exceeds the carrying value of the assets.

The geographical distribution of net sales to geographical areas for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013

Domestic Credit Facilities
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are parties to a credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The credit facility, as amended, provides for:
	§	an $8,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200 sub facility for letters of credit. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, and eligible equipment less a reserve; and
	§	a term loan in the original amount of $4,000.
In February 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The amendment, among other things:
	§	extended the term loan and revolving loan maturity date to February 28, 2018, keeping the existing term loan amortization schedule in place;
	§	increased the eligible accounts receivable borrowing percentage from eighty percent to eight-five percent for all eligible accounts other than two specific customers which will be ninety percent. Under the revolving credit facility as amended, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and inventory, less a reserve;
	§	amended the applicable base rate margin, applicable LIBOR rate margin, applicable LOC fee and applicable non-use fee based on the then applicable leverage ratio;
	§	amended the funded debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage covenants;
	§	revised the definition of net income;
	§	approved the application of net proceeds from the IntriCon Tibbetts asset sale against amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility; and
	§	waived certain financial covenant defaults as of December 31, 2013.

11

	Loans under the credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries including a pledge of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on the Company’s leverage ratio of funded debt / EBITDA, at the option of the Company, at:
		§	the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% - 4.00%, or
		§	the base rate, which is the higher of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate” and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, plus 0.00% - 1.25% ; in each case, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.
	Interest is payable monthly in arrears, except that interest on LIBOR based loans is payable at the end of the one, two or three month interest periods applicable to LIBOR based loans. IntriCon is also required to pay a non-use fee equal to 0.25% per year of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears.
	Weighted average interest on the revolving credit facility was 4.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 4.65% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $3,538 and $4,450 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The total availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $3,251 and $1,682 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
	The outstanding principal balance of the term loan, as amended, is payable in quarterly installments of $250. IntriCon is also required to use 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales (excluding inventory and certain other dispositions), sale of capital securities or issuance of debt to pay down the term loan. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2014.
	Foreign Credit Facility
	In addition to its domestic credit facilities, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IntriCon, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $2,655 line of credit as of September 30, 2014 based on applicable exchange rates. The international credit agreement was modified in August 2010 and again in August 2011 to allow for an additional total of $736 in borrowing under the existing base to fund the Singapore facility relocation, Batam facility construction and various other capital needs with varying due dates from 2013 to 2015. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of .75% to 2.5% over the lender’s prevailing prime lending rate. Weighted average interest on the international credit facilities was 3.93% and 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. The outstanding balance was $1,047 and $1,281 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was approximately $868 and $888 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
9.	Income Taxes
	Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $68 and $151 compared to $121 and $159 for the same periods in 2013. The expense was primarily due to foreign operations. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, consequently, minimal federal benefit or expense from the domestic operations was recognized as the deferred tax asset has a full valuation allowance.
	The following was the income (loss) before income taxes for each jurisdiction in which the Company has operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

10.	Shareholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation
	The Company has a 2001 stock option plan, a non-employee directors’ stock option plan and a 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. New grants may not be made under the 2001 and the non-employee directors’ stock option plans; however certain option grants under these plans remain exercisable as of September 30, 2014. The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which awards could be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as of the date of adoption was 699 shares. The Plan was amended in 2010 and 2012 to authorize an additional 250 and 300 shares, respectively, for issuance under the Plan. Additionally, as outstanding options under the 2001 stock option plan and non-employee directors’ stock option plan expire, the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the expired options will become available for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
	Under the various plans, executives, employees and outside directors receive awards of options to purchase common stock. Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may also grant stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards, although no such awards, other than awards under the director program and management purchase program described below, had been granted as of September 30, 2014. Under all awards, the terms are fixed on the grant date. Generally, the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Options under the plans generally vest over three years, and have a maximum term of 10 years.
	Additionally, the board has established the non-employee directors’ stock fee election program, referred to as the director program, as an award under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The director program gives each non-employee director the right under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to elect to have some or all of his quarterly director fees paid in common shares rather than cash. No shares were issued in lieu of cash for director fees under the director program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	On July 23, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the non-employee director and executive officer stock purchase program, referred to as the management purchase program, as an award under the 2006 Plan. The purpose of the management purchase program is to permit the Company’s non-employee directors and executive officers to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock directly from the Company. Pursuant to the management purchase program, as amended, participants may elect to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company not exceeding an aggregate of $100 during any fiscal year. Participants may make such election one time during each twenty business day period following the public release of the Company’s earnings announcement, referred to as a window period, and only if such participant is not in possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company and subject to the discretion of the Board to prohibit any transactions in Common Stock by directors and executive officers during a window period. There was 1 share purchased under the management purchase program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and no shares purchased during this same prior year period, respectively.
	Stock option activity as of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted-average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		1,407		$	5.75
Options forfeited or cancelled		(41	)		4.46
Options expired		(20	)		14.70
Options granted		137			4.76
Options exercised		(185	)		3.88
Outstanding at September 30, 2014		1,298		$	5.82	$	1,681
Exercisable at September 30, 2014		1,006		$	6.11	$	1,284
Available for future grant at December 31, 2013		182
Available for future grant at September 30, 2014		204

13

	The number of shares available for future grants at September 30, 2014 does not include a total of up to 140 shares subject to options outstanding under the 2001 stock option plans and non-employee directors’ stock option plans which will become available for grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in the event of the expiration of such options.
	The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options have characteristics different from those of traded options, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.17 for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $2.52 for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
	The Company calculates expected volatility for stock options and awards using the Company’s historical volatility.
	The Company currently estimates a five percent forfeiture rate for stock options, but will continue to review this estimate in future periods.
	The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options and awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
	The weighted average remaining contractual life of options exercisable at September 30, 2014 was 4.13 years.
	The Company recorded $110 and $352 of non-cash stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded $136 and $402 of non-cash stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2014, there was $515 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.83 years.
	The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The Purchase Plan initially provided that a maximum of 100 shares may be sold under the Purchase Plan as of the date of adoption. On April 27, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares which may be purchased under the plan by an additional 100 shares. There were 4 and 12 shares purchased under the plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and a total of 6 and 19 shares purchased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
11.	Income Per Share
	The following table presents a reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

	The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of Company stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Earnings per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic earnings per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock method for computing the diluted earnings per share. Individual components of basic and diluted income (loss) per share may not sum to the total income (loss) per share due to rounding.
	Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were all options outstanding of approximately 1,421 common shares, due to the Company’s net loss in the periods.
12.	Legal Proceedings
	The Company is a defendant along with a number of other parties in lawsuits alleging that plaintiffs have or may have contracted asbestos-related diseases as a result of exposure to asbestos products or equipment containing asbestos sold by one or more named defendants. These lawsuits relate to the discontinued heat technologies segment which was sold in March 2005. Due to the non-informative nature of the complaints, the Company does not know whether any of the complaints state valid claims against the Company. Certain insurance carriers have informed the Company that the primary policies for the period August 1, 1970-1978 have been exhausted and that the carriers will no longer provide defense and insurance coverage under those policies. However, the Company has other primary and excess insurance policies that the Company believes afford coverage for later years. Some of these other primary insurers have accepted defense and insurance coverage for these suits, and some of them have either ignored the Company’s tender of defense of these cases, or have denied coverage, or have accepted the tenders but asserted a reservation of rights and/or advised the Company that they need to investigate further. Because settlement payments are applied to all years a litigant was deemed to have been exposed to asbestos, the Company believes that it will have funds available for defense and insurance coverage under the non-exhausted primary and excess insurance policies. However, unlike the older policies, the more recent policies have deductible amounts for defense and settlements costs that the Company will be required to pay; accordingly, the Company expects that its litigation costs will increase in the future. Further, many of the policies covering later years (approximately 1984 and thereafter) have exclusions for any asbestos products or operations, and thus do not provide insurance coverage for asbestos-related lawsuits. The Company does not believe that the asserted exhaustion of some of the primary insurance coverage for the 1970-1978 period will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. Management believes that the number of insurance carriers involved in the defense of the suits, and the significant number of policy years and policy limits under which these insurance carriers are insuring the Company, make the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
	The Company’s former French subsidiary, Selas SAS, filed for insolvency in France and is being managed by a court appointed judiciary administrator. The Company may be subject to additional litigation or liabilities as a result of the French insolvency proceeding.
	The Company is also involved in other lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, management is of the opinion that the disposition of these lawsuits and claims will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

13.	Related-Party Transactions
	One of the Company’s subsidiaries leases office and factory space from a partnership consisting of three present or former officers of the subsidiary, including Mark Gorder, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The subsidiary is required to pay all real estate taxes and operating expenses. The total base rent expense, real estate taxes and other charges incurred under the lease were approximately $122 and $367 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and approximately $122 and $364 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the subsidiary executed a lease amendment with the partnership to extend the term of the lease for three years. The total annual base rent expense, real estate taxes and other charges under the newly executed lease amendment are expected to be approximately $486.
	The Company uses the law firm of Blank Rome LLP for legal services. A partner of that firm is the son-in-law of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid that firm approximately $48 and $135 for legal services and costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid that firm approximately $25 and $98 for legal services and costs. The Chairman of our Board of Directors is considered independent under applicable Nasdaq and Securities Exchange Commission rules because (i) no payments were made to the Chairman or the partner directly in exchange for the services provided by the law firm and (ii) the amounts paid to the law firm did not exceed the thresholds contained in the Nasdaq standards. Furthermore, the aforementioned partner does not provide any legal services to the Company and is not involved in billing matters.

15.	Investment in Partnerships
	The Company owns a 9% partnership interest in the Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Patent Partnership (HIMPP), and is a party to a license agreement that grants the Company access to over 45 US registered patents. The Company recorded a decrease of $49 and $133 in the carrying amount of the investment, reflecting amortization of the patents, other intangibles and the Company’s portion of the partnership’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded a decrease of $49 and $184 in the carrying amount of the investment, reflecting amortization of the patents, other intangibles and the Company’s portion of the partnership’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Also, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company has paid $24 in operating expenses for HIMPP.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Headquartered in Arden Hills, Minnesota, IntriCon Corporation (together with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”, “IntriCon,” “we”, “us” or “our”) is an international company engaged in designing, developing, engineering and manufacturing body-worn devices. In addition to its operations in Minnesota, the Company has facilities in California, Singapore, Indonesia and Germany.

Information contained in this section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and expressed in U.S. dollars is presented in thousands (000s), except for per share data and as otherwise noted.

On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas and reduce costs by approximately $3.0 million annually. As part of this plan, the Company reduced investment in certain non-core professional audio communications product lines; transferred specific product lines from Singapore to the Company’s lower-cost manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia; reduced its global administrative and support workforce; transferred the medical coil operations from the Company’s Maine facility to Minnesota to better leverage existing manufacturing capacity, sold its remaining security and certain microphone and receiver businesses effective January 27, 2014; added experienced professionals in value hearing health; and focused more resources in medical biotelemetry. The sale of security, certain microphone and receivers businesses, which closed on January 27, 2014, marked the final milestone in the global strategic restructuring plan. For all periods presented, the Company classified its former security, certain microphone and receiver businesses as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise indicated, the following description of our business refers only to continuing operations.

Market Overview

IntriCon serves the body-worn device market by designing, developing, engineering and manufacturing micro-miniature products, microelectronics, micro-mechanical assemblies and complete assemblies, primarily for bio-telemetry devices, hearing instruments and professional audio communication devices. Revenue from the medical bio-telemetry and value hearing health markets is reported on the respective medical and hearing health lines in the discussion of our results of operation in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 16 “Revenue by Market” to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements included herein.

Medical Bio-Telemetry
In the medical bio-telemetry market, the Company is focused on sales of bio-telemetry devices for life-critical diagnostic monitoring. Using our nanoDSP and BodyNet™ technology platforms, the Company manufactures microelectronics, micro-mechanical assemblies, high-precision injection-molded plastic components and complete bio-telemetry devices for emerging and leading medical device manufacturers. The medical industry is faced with pressures to reduce the cost of healthcare. Driven by core technologies, such as the IntriCon Physiolink™ that wirelessly connects patients and care givers in non-traditional ways, IntriCon helps shift the point of care from expensive traditional settings, such as hospitals, to less expensive non-traditional settings like the home. IntriCon currently serves this market by offering medical manufacturers the capabilities to design, develop and manufacture medical devices that are easier to use, are more miniature, use less power, and are lighter. Increasingly, the medical industry is looking for wireless, low-power capabilities in their devices. We have a strategic partnership with Advanced Medical Electronics Corp. (AME) that allows us to develop new bio-telemetry devices that better connect patients and care givers, providing critical information and feedback. Through the further development of our ULP BodyNet family, we believe the bio-telemetry markets offer significant opportunity.

17

IntriCon currently has a strong presence in both the diabetes and cardiac diagnostic monitoring bio-telemetry markets. For diabetes, IntriCon has partnered with Medtronic to manufacture their wireless continuous glucose monitors and sensors that measure glucose levels and deliver real-time blood glucose trend information. Along with the wireless glucose monitor, IntriCon also manufactures a variety of related accessories. During the 2013 third quarter, Medtronic received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for their MiniMed 530G insulin pump. Further, we believe there are opportunities to expand our diabetes product offering with Medtronic as well as move into new markets outside of the diabetes market.

In the cardiac diagnostic monitoring market, we provide solutions for ambulatory cardiac monitoring. Our first two product platforms, Sirona and Centauri, received FDA 510(k) approval in late 2011. The Sirona platform, which incorporates the PhysioLink technology, is essentially two products in one design: it can be used as an event recorder, a holter monitor or both. This platform is very small, rechargeable, and water spray proof. IntriCon is receiving feedback from its customers about the treatment flexibility and economic benefits of remote patient monitoring. The Company has contracts in place with lead customers for the Sirona platform and anticipates expanding that customer base during the last quarter of 2014.

IntriCon has a suite of medical coils and micro coils that it offers to various original equipment manufacturing (OEM) customers. These products are currently being used in pacemaker programming and interventional catheter positioning applications. As part of the global restructuring initiative, the Company is increasing its investment of resources and capital to help expand our customer base and market share.

Lastly, IntriCon manufactures bubble sensors and flow restrictors that monitor and control the flow of fluid in an intravenous infusion system as well as a family of safety needle products for an OEM customer that utilizes IntriCon’s insert and straight molding capabilities. These products are assembled using full automation, including built-in quality checks within the production lines.

IntriCon is targeting other emerging biotelemetry and home care markets, such as sleep apnea, that could benefit from its capabilities to develop devices that are more technologically advanced, smaller and lightweight. To do so, IntriCon is focusing more capital and resources in sales and marketing to expand its reach to other large medical device and health care companies.

Value Hearing Health Market
The Company believes the value hearing health (VHH) market offers significant growth opportunities. In the United States alone, there are approximately 36 million hearing impaired individuals. This population is expected to grow significantly over the next ten years as the 65-year-old-plus age demographic is one of the fastest growing segments in the U.S., Europe and Japan. The current market penetration into the U.S. hearing impaired population is approximately 20%. We believe the U.S. market penetration is low primarily due to the high costs to purchase a hearing device, consolidation at the retail level and inconveniences in the distribution channel. This has created the opportunity for alternative care models, such as the value hearing aid (VHA) channel and personal sound amplifier (PSAP) channel. To capitalize on these opportunities, IntriCon has increased its sales and marketing expertise and hired an industry veteran to help spearhead the Company’s efforts in the VHH market. The Company is aggressively pursuing prospective partnerships and customers who can benefit from our value proposition and we are aggressively pursuing the value hearing aid and personal amplifier products (PSAP) channels.

In the VHA channel, the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with hi HealthInnovations, a UnitedHealth Group company, to become their supplier of hearing aids. At the beginning of 2012, hi HealthInnovations launched a suite of high-tech, lower-cost hearing devices for their Medicare and Part D participants and later in the year announced they were increasing this offering to the over 26 million people enrolled in their employer-sponsored and individual health benefit plans. The insurance model has been successfully demonstrated internationally, where several countries providing a full insurance program are serving 40% to 70% of the hearing impaired population. Further, research in the U.S. has shown a fully insured model will encourage an individual to seek treatment at an earlier stage of hearing loss, greatly increasing the market size and penetration.

In personal sound amplifier products, the FDA has created a PSAP category, which include ear worn devices that provide cost effective sound amplification. These devices are not hearing aids and make no claims of compensating for hearing loss. They can be purchased “off-the-shelf” and are not fit or prescribed to meet a specific individual’s needs. Rather, these devices amplify sound and tend to be used in noisy or challenging environments. They have a significantly lower retail price to the consumer than traditional hearing aids. Additionally, the Company sees great opportunity to market its situational listening devices (SLD’s). Much like the PSAP devices, these devices are intended to help people hear in noisy environments like restaurants and automobiles, and listen to television, music, and direct broadcast by wireless connection. Such devices are intended to be supplements to conventional hearing aids, which do not handle those situations well. The SLD’s will be based on our PhysioLink technology, which was demonstrated at the 2013 annual convention of the American Academy of Audiology. The product line consists of an earpiece, TV transmitter, companion microphone, iPod/iPhone transmitter, and USB transmitter.

18

We also believe there are niches in the conventional hearing health channel that will embrace our VHH proposition, as high costs of conventional devices constrain their growth potential. Additionally, we believe there is a large international market, most notably in the so-called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), for this type of product offering.

We believe IntriCon is very well positioned to serve these VHH market channels. Over the past several years the Company has invested heavily in core technologies, product platforms and its global manufacturing capabilities geared to provide high-tech, lower-cost hearing devices. Our DSP devices provide better clarity and an improved ability to filter out background noise at attractive pricing points. We believe product platform introductions such as the Audion Amplifiers, APT™ and Lumen™ devices will drive market share gains into all channels of the emerging VHH market.

Professional Audio Communications
IntriCon entered the high-quality audio communication device market in 2001, and now has a line of miniature, professional audio headset products used by customers focusing on emergency response needs. The line includes several communication devices that are extremely portable and perform well in noisy or hazardous environments. These products are well suited for applications in the fire, law enforcement, safety, aviation and military markets. In addition, the Company has a line of miniature ear- and head-worn devices used by performers and support staff in the music and stage performance markets. We believe performance in difficult listening environments and wireless operations will continue to improve as these products increasingly include our proprietary nanoDSP, wireless nanoLink and PhysioLink technologies.

Core Technologies Overview

Our core technologies expertise is focused on three main markets: medical bio-telemetry, value hearing health and professional audio communications. Over the past several years, the Company has increased investments in the continued development of four critical core technologies: Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Ultra-Low-Power Wireless, Microminiaturization, and Miniature Transducers. These four core technologies serve as the foundation of current and future product platform development, designed to meet the rising demand for smaller, portable more advanced devices. The continued advancements in this area have allowed the Company to further enhance the mobility and effectiveness of miniature body-worn devices.

Ultra-Low-Power Digital Signal Processing
DSP converts real-world analog signals into a digital format. Through our nanoDSP™ technology, IntriCon offers an extensive range of ULP DSP amplifiers for hearing, medical and professional audio applications. Our proprietary nanoDSP incorporates advanced ultra-miniature hardware with sophisticated signal processing algorithms to produce devices that are smaller and more effective.

The Company further expanded its DSP portfolio including improvements to its Reliant CLEAR™ feedback canceller, offering increased added stable gain and faster reaction time. Additionally, newly developed DSP technologies are utilized in our recently unveiled Audion4™, our new four-channel hearing aid amplifier. The Audion4 is a feature-rich amplifier designed to fit a wide array of applications. In addition to multiple compression channels, the amplifier has a complete set of proven adaptive features which greatly improve the user experience.

Ultra-Low-Power Wireless
Wireless connectivity is fast becoming a required technology, and wireless capabilities are especially critical in new body-worn devices. IntriCon’s BodyNet™ ULP technology, including the nanoLink™ and PhysioLink™ wireless systems, offers solutions for transmitting the body’s activities to caregivers, and wireless audio links for professional communications and surveillance products. Potential BodyNet applications include electrocardiogram (ECG) diagnostics and monitoring, diabetes monitoring, sleep apnea studies and audio streaming for hearing devices.

IntriCon is in the final stages of commercializing its PhysioLink wireless technology, which will be incorporated into product platforms serving the medical, hearing health and professional audio communication markets. This system is based on 2.4GHz proprietary digital radio protocol in the industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) frequency band and enables audio and data streaming to ear-worn and body-worn applications over distances of up to five meters.

19

Microminiaturization
IntriCon excels at miniaturizing body-worn devices. We began honing our microminiaturization skills over 30 years ago, supplying components to the hearing health industry. Our core miniaturization technology allows us to make devices for our markets that are one cubic inch and smaller. We also are specialists in devices that run on very low power, as evidenced by our ULP wireless and DSP. Less power means a smaller battery, which enables us to reduce size even further, and develop devices that fit into the palm of one’s hand.

Miniature Transducers
IntriCon’s advanced transducer technology has been pushing the limits of size and performance for over a decade. Included in our transducer line are our miniature medical coils and micro coils used in pacemaker programming and interventional catheter positioning applications. We believe with the increase of greater interventional care that our coil technology harbors significant value.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period.

Certain accounting estimates and assumptions are particularly sensitive because their significance to the consolidated condensed financial statements and the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly. The accounting policies of the Company with significant estimates and assumptions include the Company’s revenue recognition, accounts receivable reserves, inventory valuation, goodwill, long-lived assets, deferred taxes policies and employee benefit obligations. These and other significant accounting policies are described in and incorporated by reference from “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and Note 1 to the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

Sales, net

Our net sales are comprised of three main markets: medical, hearing health, and professional audio communications. Below is a summary of our sales by main markets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

					Change
Three Months Ended September 30	2014		2013		Dollars		Percent
Medical	$	8,664	$	5,451	$	3,213		58.9	%
Hearing Health		5,533		4,986		547		11.0	%
Professional Audio Communications		2,808		1,893		915		48.3	%
Consolidated Net Sales	$	17,005	$	12,330	$	4,675		37.9	%
Nine Months Ended September 30
Medical	$	27,377	$	17,465	$	9,912		56.8	%
Hearing Health		17,009		15,213		1,796		11.8	%
Professional Audio Communications		7,436		5,257		2,179		41.4	%
Consolidated Net Sales	$	51,822	$	37,935	$	13,887		36.6	%

21

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we experienced increases of 58.9% and 56.8% in net sales in the medical market compared to the same periods in 2013. In September 2013, Medtronic obtained the FDA approval for the 530G insulin pump system which is the primary reason sales have increased significantly from the prior period. While IntriCon expects medical sales growth to remain strong overall in the fourth quarter of 2014 year over year, the Company does not anticipate a sequential increase from the third quarter. Management believes that the industry-wide trend to shift the point of care from expensive traditional settings, such as hospitals, to less expensive non-traditional settings like the home, will result in growth of the medical bio-telemetry industry. IntriCon currently serves this market by offering medical manufacturers the capabilities to design, develop and manufacture medical devices that are easier to use, are more miniature, use less power, and are lighter. IntriCon has a strong presence in both the diabetes market, with its Medtronic partnership, and cardiac diagnostic monitoring bio-telemetry market. The Company believes there are growth opportunities in these markets as well other emerging biotelemetry and home care markets, such as sleep apnea, that could benefit from its capabilities to develop devices that are more technologically advanced, smaller and lightweight.

Net sales in our hearing health business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased 11.0% and 11.8% compared to the same periods in 2013. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were primarily due to strong device sales to UHC slightly offset by lower conventional channel sales. Market dynamics, such as low penetration rates, an aging population, and the need for reduced cost and convenience, have resulted in the emergence of alternative care models, such the insurance channel and PSAP channel. IntriCon believes it is very well positioned to serve these value hearing health market channels. The Company will be aggressively pursuing larger customers who can benefit from our value proposition. Over the past several years, the Company has invested heavily in core technologies, product platforms and its global manufacturing capabilities geared to provide high-tech, lower-cost hearing devices.

Net sales to the professional audio device sector increased 48.3% and 41.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013. During the third quarter, a second shipment was made to the Singapore government to provide technically advanced headsets worn in military applications, which makes up a large portion of the period over period increase. This contract will run through the end of 2014. Additionally, we believe our extensive portfolio of communication devices that are portable, smaller and perform well in noisy or hazardous environments will provide future long-term growth in this market. IntriCon will continue to leverage its core technology in professional audio to support existing customers, as well as pursue related hearing health and medical product opportunities.

Gross profit

Gross profit, both in dollars and as a percent of sales, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014					2013					Change
Three Months Ended September 30	Dollars		Percent of Sales			Dollars		Percent of Sales			Dollars		Percent
Gross Profit	$	4,476		26.3	%	$	2,701		21.9	%	$	1,775		65.7	%
Nine Months Ended September 30
Gross Profit	$	14,021		27.1	%	$	8,332		22.0	%	$	5,689		68.3	%

The 2014 gross profit increase over the comparable prior year period was primarily due to higher overall sales volumes and cost reductions from global restructuring initiatives, partially offset by a less favorable sales mix.

Sales and Marketing, General and Administrative and Research and Development Expenses

Sales and marketing, general and administrative and research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	2014					2013					Change
Three Months Ended September 30	Dollars		Percent of Sales			Dollars		Percent of Sales			Dollars		Percent
Sales and Marketing	$	917		5.4	%	$	801		6.5	%	$	116		14.5	%
General and Administrative		1,647		9.7	%		1,512		12.3	%		135		8.9	%
Research and Development		1,214		7.1	%		519		4.2	%		695		133.9	%
Nine Months Ended September 30
Sales and Marketing	$	2,815		5.4	%	$	2,424		6.4	%	$	391		16.1	%
General and Administrative		4,887		9.4	%		4,439		11.7	%		448		10.1	%
Research and Development		3,530		6.8	%		2,997		7.9	%		533		17.8	%

22

Sales and marketing expenses increased due to the addition of experienced professionals and greater commission expenses based on the significant revenue growth. General and administrative expenses are greater than the prior year period primarily due to increased support costs. Also, sales and marketing and general and administration expenses increased due to support for VHH opportunities.Research and development increased over the prior year periods primarily due to a research and development tax credit in the third quarter of 2013 of $570.

Restructuring charges

On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas and reduce costs. The plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 12, 2013. As part of this plan, the Company: reduced investment in certain non-core professional audio communications product lines; transferred specific product lines from Singapore to the Company’s lower-cost manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia; reduced global administrative and support workforce; transferred the medical coil operations from the Company’s Maine facility to Minnesota to better leverage existing manufacturing capacity; sold its remaining security, microphone and receiver operations; added experienced professionals in value hearing health; and focused more resources in medical biotelemetry. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $83 and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $199. These charges are primarily related to employee termination benefits, from the restructuring of its continuing operations. In the future, the Company does not expect to incur any additional cash charges related to this restructuring.

Interest expense

Net interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $99 and $362 compared to $161 and $468 for the comparable three and nine month periods in 2013. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to lower average debt balances and improved bank ratios that allow the Company to borrow at lower rates compared to the prior year.

Equity in loss of partnerships

The equity in loss of partnerships for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $49 and $133 compared to $49 and $184 for the same periods in 2013, due to changes in carrying amounts described below.

The Company recorded a decrease of $49 and $133 in the carrying amount of its HIMPP investment, reflecting amortization of the patents, other intangibles and the Company’s portion of the partnership’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a decrease of $49 and $184 in the same respective periods in 2013. Also, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company has paid $24 in operating expenses for HIMPP.

Other income

Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $76 and $122 compared to other income of $30 and $113 for the same periods in 2013. The change in other income primarily related to foreign exchange rate gains and foreign government grants and tax refunds.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $68 and $151 compared to $121 and $159 for the same periods in 2013. The expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to taxable income generated by foreign operations.

23

Loss from discontinued operations

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $0 and $270 compared to $393 and $2,314 for the same periods in 2013. Included in the net loss for nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $983 in impairment charges primarily related to long-lived assets and goodwill.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2014, we had $408 of cash on hand. Sources of our cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were from our operating activities, as described below. The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the statement of cash flows, are summarized as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2014			September 30, 2013
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	2,935		$	2,195
Investing activities		(450	)		(444	)
Financing activities		(2,192	)		(1,815	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(102	)		35
Increase (decrease) in cash	$	191		$	(29	)

The most significant items that contributed to the $2,935 of cash provided by operating activities was the net income of $1,888 and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and inventory.

Net cash used in investing activities of $450 consisted of $981 of purchases of property, plant and equipment partially offset by proceeds of $500 from the sale of the Company’s discontinued securities, certain microphone and receiver business.

Net cash used in financing activities of $2,192 was comprised primarily of repayments of borrowings under our credit facilities.

The Company had the following bank arrangements:

	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Total borrowing capacity under existing facilities	$	10,704	$	11,051
Facility borrowings:
Domestic revolving credit facility		3,538		4,450
Domestic term loan		2,000		2,750
Foreign overdraft and letter of credit facility		1,047		1,281
Total borrowings and commitments		6,585		8,481
Remaining availability under existing facilities	$	4,119	$	2,570

Domestic Credit Facilities
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are parties to a credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The credit facility, as amended, provides for:
	•	an $8,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200 sub facility for letters of credit. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, and eligible equipment less a reserve; and
	•	a term loan in the original amount of $4,000.

24

In February 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The amendment, among other things:
	•	extended the term loan and revolving loan maturity date to February 28, 2018, keeping the existing term loan amortization schedule in place;
	•	increased the eligible accounts receivable borrowing percentage from eighty percent to eight-five percent for all eligible accounts other than two specific customers which will be ninety percent. Under the revolving credit facility as amended, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and inventory, less a reserve;
	•	amended the applicable base rate margin, applicable LIBOR rate margin, applicable LOC fee and applicable non-use fee based on the then applicable leverage ratio;
	•	amended the funded debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage covenants;
	•	revised the definition of net income;
	•	approved the application of net proceeds from the IntriCon Tibbetts asset sale against amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility; and
	•	waived certain financial covenant defaults as of December 31, 2013.
Loans under the credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries including a pledge of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on the Company’s leverage ratio of funded debt / EBITDA, at the option of the Company, at:
	•	the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% - 4.00%, or
	•	the base rate, which is the higher of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate” and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, plus 0.00% - 1.25% ; in each case, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.
Interest is payable monthly in arrears, except that interest on LIBOR based loans is payable at the end of the one, two or three month interest periods applicable to LIBOR based loans. IntriCon is also required to pay a non-use fee equal to 0.25% per year of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears.
Weighted average interest on the revolving credit facility was 4.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 4.65% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $3,538 and $4,450 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The total availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $3,251 and $1,682 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
The outstanding principal balance of the term loan, as amended, is payable in quarterly installments of $250. IntriCon is also required to use 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales (excluding inventory and certain other dispositions), sale of capital securities or issuance of debt to pay down the term loan. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2014.

25

Foreign Credit Facility

In addition to its domestic credit facilities, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IntriCon, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $2,655 line of credit as of June 30, 2014 based on applicable exchange rates. The international credit agreement was modified in August 2010 and again in August 2011 to allow for an additional total of $736 in borrowing under the existing base to fund the Singapore facility relocation, Batam facility construction and various other capital needs with varying due dates from 2013 to 2015. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of .75% to 2.5% over the lender’s prevailing prime lending rate. Weighted average interest on the international credit facilities was 3.93% and 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. The outstanding balance was $1,047 and $1,281 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was approximately $868 and $888 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We believe that funds expected to be generated from operations, the available borrowing capacity through our revolving credit loan facilities and the control of capital spending will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operating needs and for repayment of maturing debt for at least the next 12 months. If, however, we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, or if we incur additional unanticipated liabilities, we may be required to seek additional financing or sell equity or debt on terms which may not be as favorable as we could have otherwise obtained. No assurance can be given that any refinancing, additional borrowing or sale of equity or debt will be possible when needed or that we will be able to negotiate acceptable terms. In addition, our access to capital is affected by prevailing conditions in the financial and equity capital markets, as well as our own financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to meet our financial and other covenants under our loan agreements, absent waiver, we will be in default of the loan agreements and our lenders could take action that would adversely affect our business. There can be no assurance that our lenders will provide a waiver of any default in our loan covenants. While management believes that we will be able to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), as of September 30, 2014 (the “Disclosure Controls Evaluation”). Based on the Disclosure Controls Evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide a reasonable level of assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, all in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Restructuring Charges

3.    Restructuring Charges

On June 13, 2013 the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas and to reduce costs. The plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on June 12, 2013. As part of this plan, the Company: reduced investment in certain non-core professional audio communications product lines; transferred specific product lines from Singapore to the Company’s lower-cost manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia; reduced global administrative and support workforce; transferred the medical coil operations from the Company’s Maine facility to Minnesota to better leverage existing manufacturing capacity; sold its remaining security, microphone and receiver operations; added experienced professionals in value hearing health; and focused more resources in medical biotelemetry. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $83, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0 and $199,  respectively. These charges are primarily related to employee termination benefits from the restructuring of its continuing operations. In the future, the Company does not expect to incur any additional cash charges related to this restructuring.

New Accounting Pronouncements

2.New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

1.General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly IntriCon Corporation's (“IntriCon” or the “Company”) consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for thethree and ninemonths ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.  Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year or any other interim period.

On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global restructuring plan to accelerate future growth and reduce costs by approximately $3.0 million annually. As part of the restructuring, the Company sold its security and certain microphone and receiver operations on January 27, 2014 to Sierra Peaks Corporation. For all periods presented, the Company classified these businesses as discontinued operations, and, accordingly, has reclassified historical financial data presented herein (Note 4).

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the date of the consolidated financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements.

Net income (loss) per share:	$	0.09	$	(0.14)	$	0.31	$	(0.83)

The dilutive impact summarized above relates to the periods when the average market price of Company stock exceeded the exercise price of the potentially dilutive option securities granted. Earnings per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic earnings per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock method for computing the diluted earnings per share. Individual components of basic and diluted income (loss) per share may not sum to the total income (loss) per share due to rounding.

Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were all options outstanding of approximately 1,421 common shares, due to the Company’s net loss in the periods.

Legal Proceedings [Abstract]

Legal Proceedings

12. Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant along with a number of other parties in lawsuits alleging that plaintiffs have or may have contracted asbestos-related diseases as a result of exposure to asbestos products or equipment containing asbestos sold by one or more named defendants. These lawsuits relate to the discontinued heat technologies segment which was sold in March 2005. Due to the non-informative nature of the complaints, the Company does not know whether any of the complaints state valid claims against the Company. Certain insurance carriers have informed the Company that the primary policies for the period August 1, 1970-1978 have been exhausted and that the carriers will no longer provide defense and insurance coverage under those policies. However, the Company has other primary and excess insurance policies that the Company believes afford coverage for later years.  Some of these other primary insurers have accepted defense and insurance coverage for these suits, and some of them have either ignored the Company’s tender of defense of these cases, or have denied coverage, or have accepted the tenders but asserted a reservation of rights and/or advised the Company that they need to investigate further.  Because settlement payments are applied to all years a litigant was deemed to have been exposed to asbestos, the Company believes that it will have funds available for defense and insurance coverage under the non-exhausted primary and excess insurance policies.  However, unlike the older policies, the more recent policies have deductible amounts for defense and settlements costs that the Company will be required to pay; accordingly, the Company expects that its litigation costs will increase in the future. Further, many of the policies covering later years (approximately 1984 and thereafter) have exclusions for any asbestos products or operations, and thus do not provide insurance coverage for asbestos-related lawsuits. The Company does not believe that the asserted exhaustion of some of the primary insurance coverage for the 1970-1978 period will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations. Management believes that the number of insurance carriers involved in the defense of the suits, and the significant number of policy years and policy limits under which these insurance carriers are insuring the Company, make the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits not material to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s former French subsidiary, Selas SAS, filed for insolvency in France and is being managed by a court appointed judiciary administrator. The Company may be subject to additional litigation or liabilities as a result of the French insolvency proceeding.

The Company is also involved in other lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, management is of the opinion that the disposition of these lawsuits and claims will not materially affect our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

United States	$	3,201	$	3,402
Other – primarily Asia		1,020		1,337
Consolidated	$	4,221	$	4,739

Long-lived assets consist of property and equipment that are difficult to move and relatively illiquid. Excluded from long-lived assets are investments in partnerships, patents, license agreements and goodwill. The Company capitalizes long-lived assets pertaining to the production of specialized parts. These assets are periodically reviewed to assure the net realizable value from the estimated future production based on forecasted cash flows exceeds the carrying value of the assets.

The geographical distribution of net sales to geographical areas for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013		September 30, 2014		September 30, 2013

Consolidated	$	17,005	$	12,330	$	51,822	$	37,935

Geographic net sales are allocated based on the location of the customer. All other countries include net sales primarily to various countries in Europe and in the Asian Pacific. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014,  one customer accounted for 36% and 38% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, two customers accounted for a combined51% and 37% of the Company’s consolidated net sales.

At September 30, 2014, two customers combined accounted for 31% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable. At December 31, 2013, two customers accounted for a combined34% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable.

13. Related-Party Transactions

One of the Company’s subsidiaries leases office and factory space from a partnership consisting of three present or former officers of the subsidiary, including Mark Gorder, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The subsidiary is required to pay all real estate taxes and operating expenses. The total base rent expense, real estate taxes and other charges incurred under the lease were approximately $122 and $367 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and approximately $122 and $364 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. On October 31, 2013, the subsidiary executed a lease amendment with the partnership to extend the term of the lease for three years. The total annual base rent expense, real estate taxes and other charges under the newly executed lease amendment are expected to be approximately $486.

The Company uses the law firm of Blank Rome LLP for legal services. A partner of that firm is the son-in-law of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid that firm approximately $48 and $135 for legal services and costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company paid that firm approximately $25 and $98 for legal services and costs. The Chairman of our Board of Directors is considered independent under applicable Nasdaq and Securities Exchange Commission rules because (i) no payments were made to the Chairman or the partner directly in exchange for the services provided by the law firm and (ii) the amounts paid to the law firm did not exceed the thresholds contained in the Nasdaq standards. Furthermore, the aforementioned partner does not provide any legal services to the Company and is not involved in billing matters.

Domestic Credit Facilities

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are parties to a credit facility with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The credit facility, as amended, provides for:

§ an $8,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200 sub facility for letters of credit.  Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, and eligible equipment less a reserve; and

§ a term loan in the original amount of $4,000.  

In February 2014, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The amendment, among other things:

§ extended the term loan and revolving loan maturity date to February 28, 2018, keeping the existing term loan amortization schedule in place;

§ increased the eligible accounts receivable borrowing percentage from eighty percent to eight-five percent for all eligible accounts other than two specific customers which will be ninety percent. Under the revolving credit facility as amended, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of the Company’s eligible trade receivables and inventory, less a reserve;

§ amended the applicable base rate margin, applicable LIBOR rate margin, applicable LOC fee and applicable non-use fee based on the then applicable leverage ratio;

§ amended the funded debt to EBITDA and fixed charge coverage covenants;

§ revised the definition of net income;

§ approved the application of net proceeds from the IntriCon Tibbetts asset sale against amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility; and

§ waived certain financial covenant defaults as of December 31, 2013.

Loans under the credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries including a pledge of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. Loans under the credit facility bear interest at varying rates based on the Company’s leverage ratio of funded debt / EBITDA, at the option of the Company, at:

§ the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.75% - 4.00%, or

§ the base rate, which is the higher of (a) the rate publicly announced from time to time by the lender as its “prime rate” and (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, plus 0.00% - 1.25% ; in each case, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Interest is payable monthly in arrears, except that interest on LIBOR based loans is payable at the end of the one, two or three month interest periods applicable to LIBOR based loans. IntriCon is also required to pay a non-use fee equal to 0.25% per year of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit facility, payable quarterly in arrears.

Weighted average interest on the revolving credit facility was 4.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 4.65% for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility was $3,538 and $4,450 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The total availability on the revolving credit facility was approximately $3,251 and $1,682at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The outstanding principal balance of the term loan, as amended, is payable in quarterly installments of $250. IntriCon is also required to use 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales (excluding inventory and certain other dispositions), sale of capital securities or issuance of debt to pay down the term loan. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the credit facility as of September 30, 2014.

Foreign Credit Facility

In addition to its domestic credit facilities, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IntriCon, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $2,655 line of credit as of September 30, 2014 based on applicable exchange rates. The international credit agreement was modified in August 2010 and again in August 2011 to allow for an additional total of $736in borrowing under the existing base to fund the Singapore facility relocation, Batam facility construction and various other capital needs with varying due dates from 2013 to 2015. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of .75% to 2.5% over the lender’s prevailing prime lending rate.  Weighted average interest on the international credit facilities was 3.93% and 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013. The outstanding balance was $1,047 and $1,281 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was approximately $868 and $888 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Shareholders' Equity And Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity And Stock-Based Compensation

10.  Shareholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a 2001 stock option plan, a non-employee directors’ stock option plan and a 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. New grants may not be made under the 2001 and the non-employee directors’ stock option plans; however certain option grants under these plans remain exercisable as of September 30, 2014. The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which awards could be granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as of the date of adoption was 699 shares. The Plan was amended in 2010 and 2012 to authorize an additional 250 and 300 shares, respectively, for issuance under the Plan. Additionally, as outstanding options under the 2001 stock option plan and non-employee directors’ stock option plan expire, the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the expired options will become available for issuance under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.

Under the various plans, executives, employees and outside directors receive awards of options to purchase common stock. Under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may also grant stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards, although no such awards, other than awards under the director program and management purchase program described below, had been granted as of September 30, 2014.  Under all awards, the terms are fixed on the grant date. Generally, the exercise price of stock options equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Options under the plans generally vest over three years, and have a maximum term of 10 years.

Additionally, the board has established the non-employee directors’ stock fee election program, referred to as the director program, as an award under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The director program gives each non-employee director the right under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan to elect to have some or all of his quarterly director fees paid in common shares rather than cash.  No shares were issued in lieu of cash for director fees under the director program for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

On July 23, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the non-employee director and executive officer stock purchase program, referred to as the management purchase program, as an award under the 2006 Plan. The purpose of the management purchase program is to permit the Company’s non-employee directors and executive officers to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock directly from the Company. Pursuant to the management purchase program, as amended, participants may elect to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company not exceeding an aggregate of $100 during any fiscal year. Participants may make such election one time during each twenty business day period following the public release of the Company’s earnings announcement, referred to as a window period, and only if such participant is not in possession of material, non-public information concerning the Company and subject to the discretion of the Board to prohibit any transactions in Common Stock by directors and executive officers during a window period. There was 1 share purchased under the management purchase program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and no shares purchased during this same prior year period, respectively.

Stock option activity as of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:

			Weighted-average		Aggregate
	Number of Shares		Exercise Price		Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2013	1,407	$	5.75
Options forfeited or cancelled	(41)		4.46
Options expired	(20)		14.70
Options granted	137		4.76
Options exercised	(185)		3.88
Outstanding at September 30, 2014	1,298	$	5.82	$	1,681
Exercisable at September 30, 2014	1,006	$	6.11	$	1,284
Available for future grant at December 31, 2013	182
Available for future grant at September 30, 2014	204

The number of shares available for future grants at September 30, 2014 does not include a total of up to 140 shares subject to options outstanding under the 2001 stock option plans and non-employee directors’ stock option plans which will become available for grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in the event of the expiration of such options.

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s options have characteristics different from those of traded options, in the opinion of management, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its options. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.17 for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $2.52 for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company calculates expected volatility for stock options and awards using the Company’s historical volatility.

The Company currently estimates a five percent forfeiture rate for stock options, but will continue to review this estimate in future periods.

The risk-free rates for the expected terms of the stock options and awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options exercisable at September 30, 2014 was 4.13 years.

The Company recorded $110 and $352 of non-cash stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded $136 and $402 of non-cash stock option expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  As of September 30, 2014, there was $515 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.83 years.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The Purchase Plan initially provided that a maximum of 100 shares may be sold under the Purchase Plan as of the date of adoption. On April 27, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares which may be purchased under the plan by an additional 100 shares. There were 4 and 12 shares purchased under the plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and a total of 6 and 19 shares purchased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Discontinued Operations

4.   Discontinued Operations

On June 13, 2013, the Company announced a global strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth and reduce costs. See Notes 1 and 3 for additional information. As part of the global strategic restructuring plan, the Company decided to exit the security and certain microphone and receiver businesses.  On January 27, 2014, the Company completed the sale of the security business and certain microphone and receiver businesses of IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation, IntriCon’s wholly owned subsidiary based in Camden, Maine, to Sierra Peaks Corporation, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on January 27, 2014 between Sierra Peaks Corporation, as the buyer, and IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation as the seller. Sierra Peaks Corporation paid $500 cash at closing for the assets and assumed certain operating liabilities of the businesses.

The Company recorded a loss on the sale of $120. The net loss was computed as follows:

Accounts receivable, net	$	384
Inventory, net		128
Property, plant and equipment, net		127
Other assets		1
Accounts payable		(69)
Net assets sold	$	571
Cash proceeds received from Sierra Peaks		500
Net assets sold		(571)
Transaction costs		(49)
Loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	(120)

The following table shows the results of operations of the Company’s discontinued operations:

Other assets		1
Other assets of discontinued operations	$	132
Accounts payable		70
Accrued compensation and other liabilities		84
Current liabilities of discontinued operations	$	154

Management considered the global strategic restructuring plan a triggering event and therefore, in June 2013, the Company evaluated the related assets for impairment and recorded non-cash impairment charges of $983 to the Company’s results from discontinued operations.  Throughout the remainder of 2013, the Company continued to evaluate the remaining assets for further impairment indicators and, with the continued decline in U.S. Government revenues due to the government sequestration and government shut-down, the Company concluded that an additional non-cash impairment charge of $717 was required for accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, and other assets. These charges were recorded in the Company’s results from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. See further information below.

In determining the nonrecurring fair value measurements of impairment of goodwill and other short and long-term assets, the Company utilized the market value approach, considering the fair value of security, microphone and receiver net assets held for sale or disposition. Based on the market value assessment, the Company determined fair values for the identified assets and incurred impairment charges for the remaining book value of the assets during the 12 months ended December 31, 2013 as set forth in the table below.
