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 condensed financial position as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the consolidated condensed results of its operations and statements of equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. 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. The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 (coronavirus) as a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the outbreak a national emergency. The Company considered the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the assumptions and estimates used, including reviewing our long-lived assets for impairment, and determined that for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

On June 25, 2019, the Company’s officers, pursuant to delegated authority from the board, approved plans to discontinue the operations of its United Kingdom (UK) subsidiary within our body worn device segment. For all periods presented, the Company classified this business as discontinued operations, and accordingly, has reclassified historical financial data presented herein. See Note 5.

On May 18, 2020, IntriCon Pte. Ltd. (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Emerald Medical Services Pte., Ltd., a Singapore company (“Emerald”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated the same date among Buyer, Emerald and the direct and indirect owners of Emerald. Emerald, based in Singapore, is a provider of joint development medical device manufacturing services for complex catheter applications. See Note 3.

On May 20, 2020, the Company announced a strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas. The plan, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, was completed as of June 30, 2020. See Note 4.

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates its voting and variable interests in entities on a qualitative and quantitative basis. The Company consolidates entities in which it concludes it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact an entity’s economic success and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity.

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

8

Due to the acquisition of Emerald, we have updated our accounting policies to include business combinations and contingent consideration liabilities. We record acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and net intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The application of ASC 805, Business Combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration between goodwill and assets that are depreciated and amortized. Our estimates are based on historical experience, information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and, when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates.

Contingent consideration liabilities depend on certain future events and are measured at fair value based on various level 3 inputs and assumptions including forecasts, probabilities of payment and discount rates. Amounts are classified as current if expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The liability for contingent consideration is subject to fair value adjustments each reporting period that will be recognized through the statement of operations. See Note 3 for additional detail on the accounting for the Emerald Acquisition.

Reclassification

The Company changed the classification of certain other assets, net to intangible assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet for the period ended June 30, 2020. To conform with the current period presentation, amounts previously reported as other assets, net, of $5,545 as of December 31, 2019, have been reclassified to intangible assets to conform with the current period presentation. Refer to Note 11 for additional details. 

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses Topic 326, which requires certain financial assets to be measured at amortized cost net of an allowance for estimated credit losses, such that the net receivable represents the present value of expected cash collection. In addition, this standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost reflecting an allowance for estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the assets. The estimate of credit losses must be based on all relevant information including historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amounts. Topic 326 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. This standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity in applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of the financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principals of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. This standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815, which clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Venture, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. ASU 2020-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. This standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 

In April 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform Topic 848, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

3. Acquisitions

Acquisition of Emerald Medical Services and Emerald Extrusion Services

On May 18, 2020, IntriCon Pte. Ltd. (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Emerald Medical Services Pte., Ltd., a Singapore company (“Emerald”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated the same date among Buyer, Emerald and the direct and indirect owners of Emerald. Emerald, based in Singapore, is a provider of joint development medical device manufacturing services for complex catheter applications.

In addition, Emerald has a 54% ownership interest in Emerald Extrusion Services LLC. (“EES), based in California. Based on this controlling financial interest, the Company has consolidated this entity based on the voting interest model under ASC 810, Consolidation.

On May 21, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it has adopted amendments to the financial disclosure requirements in Regulation S-X for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. This guidance reduces the burden on companies by making more meaningful determinations on the significance of an acquired or disposed business by updating the significance test, among other things. As permitted, IntriCon has early adopted this guidance and applied the updates in performing the significance test for the Emerald acquisition. Based on the updated guidance, Emerald is not deemed significant to our consolidated financial statements and therefor, historic and pro forma financial statements are not required to be disclosed.

The total purchase price of $11,815 consisted of a cash payment paid at closing of $7,128, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment of $291, the issuance of 80 thousand shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $982 issued at closing, which shares will be held in an escrow account for a period of 18 months to resolve any post-closing claims by the Buyer, as well as a liability for contingent consideration of $3,414. The liability for contingent consideration consists of a cash payment of $500 payable in the event that regulatory approval in Japan is obtained for a particular product within twelve months of closing, an earn-out payment of between $333 and $1,000 if Emerald has net revenues ranging from $9.0 million to $11.0 million during the first year after closing, and additional earn-out payments equal to 28% of net revenues arising from the sale of certain products or to certain customers for each of the first three years after closing. The liability for contingent consideration is a fair value measurement based on various level 3 inputs and assumptions including forecasts, probabilities of payment and discount rates. The liability for contingent consideration is subject to fair value adjustments each reporting period that will be recognized through the statement of operations.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded acquisition costs of $493 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 related to legal, professional fees and other miscellaneous costs. These costs are recorded within acquisition costs within the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

Our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 include revenues of $1,146 and net income of $48, attributable to the acquirees for the period from May 19 through June 30, 2020.

We accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date. We have up to one year from the acquisition date to finalize the purchase price allocation. As such, these estimates may change which would likely result in an increase or decrease in goodwill. A preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is included in the table below. A preliminary intangible asset of $6,400 was recorded as a part of purchase accounting related to the value of identifiable customer relationships acquired. These intangibles are being amortized over an 8 year useful life. A preliminary net deferred tax liability of $1,055 was established on the acquisition date related to book-tax differences from the amortization of the intangibles as well as certain other purchasing accounting adjustments. Preliminary goodwill of $4,041 was recorded, representing the benefits of increased operating scale and growth opportunities through currently unidentifiable customers. The goodwill balance is not amortizable for tax purposes.

The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Current assets	$	3,104
Machinery and equipment		172
Intangible assets		6,400
Goodwill		4,041
Noncurrent assets		169
Current liabilities		(983)

4. Restructuring Charges

On May 20, 2020, the Company announced a strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas. The plan, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, was completed as of June 30, 2020, and consisted primarily of transitioning our direct-to-end-consumer operations at Hearing Help Express to solely support partnership initiatives including the reduction of advertising expenses as well as global net workforce reductions. Total restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,171, including $732 related to one-time employee termination benefits, $326 for lease modification costs at Hearing Help Express and $113 for losses on disposal of assets. As of June 30, 2020, outstanding restructuring liabilities included unpaid employee termination benefits of $586.

5. Discontinued Operations

On June 25, 2019, the Company’s officers, pursuant to delegated authority from the board, approved plans to discontinue the operations of its UK subsidiary within the body worn device segment. During the first quarter of 2020, the remaining assets and liabilities of the subsidiary were settled.

As the disposal meets the definition of a strategic shift in accordance with ASC 205, the results of the UK operations have been classified as loss from discontinued operations, in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows. Current assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reclassified and reflected on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets as “Current assets of discontinued operations,” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations”, respectively. Prior periods relating to our discontinued operations have been reclassified to reflect consistency within our consolidated condensed financial statements. There was no income tax expense or benefit related to our discontinued operations for any period presented.

The total assets and liabilities of the UK subsidiary at December 31, 2019 were as follows:

		December 31,
		2019
Other current assets	$	80
Other accrued liabilities		77
Net assets (liabilities)	$	3

The loss on disposal of discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was computed as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	5
Accounts receivable, net		72
Write-down of inventory to realizable value		278
Write-down of property, plant and equipment to salvage value		298
Other assets and liabilities, net		71
Realized loss on foreign currency		280
Net assets disposed		1,004
Additional disposal costs, net		112
Loss on disposal of discontinued operations	$	1,116

14. Leases

The Company’s leases pertain primarily to engineering, manufacturing, sales and administrative facilities, with an initial term of one year or more. The Company has three leased facilities in Minnesota, two that expire in 2022 and one that expires in 2023, one leased facility in Illinois that expires in 2022, one leased facility in California that expires in 2022, two leased facilities in Singapore that both expire in 2020, one leased facility in Indonesia that expires in 2024, and one leased facility in Germany that expires in 2022.

As discussed in Note 4, the Company incurred $326 for lease modification costs at Hearing Help Express to reduce square footage by approximately 65% in an effort to reduce future operating costs. The modification had no impact on the lease term.

Certain foreign leases allow for variable lease payments that depend on an index or a market rate adjustment for the respective country and are adjusted on an annual basis. The adjustment is recognized as incurred in profit and loss. The facility leases include options to extend for terms ranging from one year to five years. Lease options that the Company is reasonably certain to execute, are included in the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability. Our Indonesia lease includes embedded forward starting leases that will begin in 2022 and 2024 for additional square footage, which will result in the recognition of an additional ROU asset and lease liability in those periods of approximately $103 and $72, respectively. The Company also leases equipment that include bargain purchase options at termination. These leases have been classified as finance leases.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a weighted-average lease term of 1.0 years for its finance leases, and 2.7 years for its operating leases. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has a weighted-average discount rate of 5.56% for its finance leases, and 5.17% for its operating leases. Discount rates are determined based on 5 year term incremental borrowing rates at inception of the lease. Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from operating leases were $924. Financing lease assets are classified as machinery and equipment within the consolidated balance sheet.

The following tables summarizes lease costs by type:

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $29 and $47, compared to $116 and $247, for the same period in 2019, respectively. The expense was largely due to our foreign operations. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against US deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020. Upon acquisition of Emerald, a net deferred tax liability of $1,055 was established on the acquisition date related to book-tax differences from the amortization of the intangibles as well as certain other assets, see Note 3.

The following was the (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes and discontinued operations for each jurisdiction in which the Company has operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which contained in part, an allowance for deferral of the employer portion of Social Security employment tax liabilities until 2021 and 2022, as well as a COVID-19 employee retention tax credit (“CRC”) of up to $5,000 per eligible employee.

Based on the timing of the CARES Act, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, the related tax benefits from the CARES Act were not material. We are currently reviewing the potential future benefits related to employee retention tax credits and the payroll tax deferral provision to assess the impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

16. Shareholders’ Equity and Stock-based Compensation

The Company has a 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and a 2015 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2015 Equity Incentive Plan replaced the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and new grants may not be made under the 2006 Plan.

Under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity-based awards. Under all awards, the terms are fixed on the grant date.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 100 RSUs with a weighted average closing price on the date of grant of $15.61. The RSUs vest in equal, annual installments over a three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant at which time common stock is issued with respect to vested units.

17

The Company has also granted stock options under the plans. Options granted under the plans generally vest in equal, annual installments over a three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant and have a maximum term of 10 years.

Stock award activity as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was as follows:

	Outstanding Awards
	Stock Options	RSUs	Total		Stock Option Weighted-Average ‎Exercise Price (a)		Aggregate ‎ Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2019	746	128	874	$	6.39
Awards granted	-	100	100		-
Awards exercised or released	(42)	(55)	(97)		4.31

Exercisable at June 30, 2020	682	34	682	$	6.50	$	5,247
Available for future grant at December 31, 2019	183
Available for future grant at June 30, 2020	114
(a) The weighted average exercise price calculation does not include outstanding RSUs

The number of shares available for future grants at June 30, 2020 does not include a total of up to 331 shares subject to options outstanding under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which will become available for grant under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan as outstanding options under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan expire, terminate, are cancelled or forfeited or are withheld in a net exercise of such options.

The Company recorded $1,336 and $1,712 of non-cash stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to $537 and $866 for the same periods in 2019, respectively. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a cumulative non-cash stock compensation expense adjustment of $422 for individuals who are retirement eligible and therefore have vested in stock awards according to our plan. The adjustment was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements for any quarterly or annual period. As of June 30, 2020, there was $2,123 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock option and RSU awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.10 years. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $418.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The Purchase Plan, as amended, through June 30, 2020, provides that a maximum of 300 shares may be sold under the Purchase Plan. There were 8 and 5 shares purchased under the plan for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

17. Income Per Share

The following table presents a reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Net loss per share:	$	(0.26)	$	(0.57)	$	(0.48)	$	(0.49)

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. Stock option are dilutive when the average market price of Company stock exceeds the exercise price of the potentially dilutive options. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock method when computing the diluted earnings per share. Shares represented by RSUs are also included in the dilution calculation.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, weighted average options and RSU’s outstanding of 882 and 894, respectively, were excluded from the dilutive calculation as their effect would have been antidilutive based on losses in the period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, weighted average options and RSU’s outstanding of 701 and 712, respectively, were excluded from the dilutive calculation as their effect would have been antidilutive based on losses in the period.

18. 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 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.

19. Related-Party Transactions

The Company has a 50% ownership in Signison, a German based hearing health company. Signison owes the Company a notes receivable, net of allowances, of $492 which is included in investment in partnership on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.

20.Revenue, Net

Medical market revenue recognition- Customer orders from the medical market consist of a specified number of assembled and customized parts that the customer further integrates into their production process to produce market ready products. Customer orders do not include additional follow-on goods or services. Each order is for a series of distinct units that comprise a single performance obligation.

With the exception of prompt payment discounts, the transaction price for medical market products is the invoiced amount. Variable consideration in the form of refunds, credits, rebates, price concessions, pricing incentives or other items impacting transaction price are not present.

All of the Company’s products manufactured for the medical market are designed to each customer’s specifications, do not have an alternative use and cannot be sold or redirected by the Company to others. The Company considers contractual arrangements, laws and legal precedent in determining enforceable right. The Company has an enforceable right to payment for any finished or in-process units, including a reasonable margin, if the customer terminates the contract for reasons other than the Company’s failure to perform as promised within our medical diabetes market and a select customer within our other medical market. For contractual arrangements in which an enforceable right exists, control of these units is deemed to transfer to the customer over time during the manufacturing process, using the same measure of progress toward satisfying the promise to deliver the units to the customer. Consequently, the transaction price is recognized as revenue over time for contractual arrangements with an enforceable right, based on actual costs incurred in the manufacturing process to date relative to total expected costs to produce all ordered units. The transaction price for contractual arrangements without an enforceable right to payment for any finished or in-process units including a reasonable margin is recognized as revenue at a point in time.

Medical market products are invoiced when shipped and paid within normal commercial terms. The Company records a contract asset for revenue recognized over time in the production process for customized products that have not been shipped or invoiced to the customer.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Uncertainties [update]

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has created unique and unprecedented challenges. The outbreak of the novel COVID-19 has evolved into a global pandemic. COVID-19 has spread to many regions of the world, including North America, Asia and Europe. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operating results and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, cannot be accurately predicted and may be beyond our control. Uncertain factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic include the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the virus, and the actions, or perception of actions that may be taken, to contain or treat its impact, including declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations.

23

The Company’s priority remains the health and safety of its employees, its customers and their patients, as well as the communities we serve. As the unprecedented threat of COVID-19 emerged, IntriCon began implementing measures in an effort to address and prioritize the health and safety of its employees and their communities, while at the same time continuing to support customers and partners. These measures included the following:

Health and Safety: Based on the expertise and recommendations from federal and local government and health agencies, IntriCon has implemented remote and flexible work arrangements for employees wherever possible. We have also implemented other measures, such as restricting travel, to protect the health and safety of our customers, their patients and our employees.

Maintaining Operations: Consistent with applicable exceptions, we are maintaining streamlined manufacturing, assembly and other related operations at all sites in order to continue providing products to our customers and partners. For our employees involved in such operation-critical processes, we have implemented several other recommended best practices to protect the health and safety of our workforce. In addition, we have modified the shifts of employees involved in other operation-critical processes to minimize risk for these employees.

Clinical: We have postponed our anticipated “Self-fitting Software” clinical trial until such time as we can ensure the health and safely of trial participants.

Expense Reduction: Given the current business climate, executive management has taken steps to strengthen our balance sheet and reduce our cost structure including the deferral of non-strategic investments as well as furloughs and salary reductions in the second quarter of 2020. Salaries were restored to their original levels at the beginning of the third quarter while furloughs were made permanent.

Although our operating facilities remain open as of June 30, 2020, the effects of a COVID-19 outbreak could include the temporary shutdown of our facilities in the United States, Asia or Europe, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers as well as disruptions that may affect our customers and suppliers.

Further, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread, our sales could be negatively impacted as a result of disruption in demand by our customers, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to supply us according to our schedule and specifications. If our suppliers’ operations are impacted, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers, each of which would affect our results of operations. The duration of the disruptions to our customers and to our supply chain, and related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. If such disruptions continue for an extended period of time, the impact could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures of certain assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions utilize historical and forward-looking assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including but not limited to the potential impacts arising from the coronavirus pandemic. As we learn more about the extent and duration of the pandemic, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

In summary, while our business is likely to be impacted in the coming year by global business conditions, including the delay of non-essential medical procedures, device upgrades and new product launches, we have a strong balance sheet that we believe will allow us to maintain our operations and preserve our ability to realize future growth.

Market Overview

IntriCon serves as a joint development partner (“JDM”) to leading medical device original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) by designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing micro-miniature products, microelectronics, micro-mechanical assemblies, complete assemblies and software solutions, primarily for high growth markets, such as diabetes, drug delivery, surgical navigation, hearing health and the professional audio communication market. Revenue from these markets is reported on the respective diabetes, other medical, hearing health value based direct-to-end-consumer, value based indirect-to-end-consumer and legacy OEM, and professional audio lines in the discussion of our results of operations in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 20 “Revenue by Market” to the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements included herein.

24

Diabetes, Drug Delivery, and Surgical Navigation Markets

The Company manufactures microelectronics, micro-mechanical assemblies, high-precision injection-molded plastic components and complete devices for leading and emerging medical device manufacturers. The medical industry is faced with pressures to reduce the cost of healthcare. Driven by its core technologies, 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, manufacture and distribute 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.

IntriCon currently has a presence in the diabetes, drug delivery and surgical navigation markets. For diabetes, IntriCon works with Medtronic to manufacture their wireless continuous glucose monitors (CGM), sensor assemblies, and accessories associated with Medtronic’s insulin pump and CGM system. In September 2016, the FDA approved Medtronic’s current generation insulin pump system, the MiniMed 670G system. The MiniMed 670G is the world’s first hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system and we are excited that our components are designed into and support such a revolutionary diabetes management system. In June 2017, the 670G was launched in the U.S. and Medtronic began fulfilling orders from patients enrolled in their Priority Access Program. In March 2018, the FDA approved the Guardian Connect, Medtronic’s standalone CGM system that allows patients to stay ahead of high and low glucose events. Looking ahead, 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 late 2019, Medtronic received approval and began distributing the 670G system in select European countries, subject to local regulatory requirements.

IntriCon has a suite of medical coils and micro coils technology that it offers to various OEM customers. These products are currently used in surgical navigation markets, such as interventional pulmonology and electrophysiology. On May 18, 2020 IntriCon acquired privately held Emerald Medical Services Pte Ltd. (Emerald). Emerald, based in Singapore, provides joint engineering and manufacturing services for complex medical devices, including catheters covering a range of applications for cardiology, peripheral vascular, neurology, radiology and pulmonology. Emerald’s production capability consists of design, development, manufacturing, testing and non-sterile packaging services. The acquisition expands IntriCon’s medical coil and micro-miniature medical device engineering and manufacturing capabilities in surgical navigation and accelerates diversification into potential new end-markets.

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.

The Company is committed to increasing investments to support its medical business development efforts. In early 2019, the Company hired a vice president of medical business development, and in connection with the Emerald acquisition, has engaged one of the former owners of Emerald as a corporate development consultant aimed to leverage our core competencies and diversify our medical revenue base. The Company believes it has significant opportunities to serve the emerging home care markets through its already developed core competencies and capabilities to develop devices that are more technologically advanced, smaller and lightweight.

Hearing Healthcare Market

In the United States alone, there are approximately 40 million adults that report some degree of hearing loss. In adults, the most common cause of hearing loss is aging and noise. In fact, by the age of 65, one out of three people have hearing loss. The hearing-impaired population is expected to grow significantly over the next decade due to an aging population and more frequent exposure to loud sounds that can cause noise-induced hearing loss. It is estimated that hearing aids can help more than 90 percent of people with hearing loss, however the current market penetration into the U.S. hearing-impaired population is approximately 20 percent, a percentage that has remained essentially unchanged for the last four decades. The primary deterrents to greater penetration are cost and access. Along with this, the legacy hearing aid distribution channel is an oligopoly of six large hearing aid manufacturers who utilize brick-and-mortar and licensed audiologists to sell devices while controlling the channel dynamics. As a result, the average cost of a hearing aid sold in the US market today is over $2,400 per device, more than double the cost from fifteen years ago. Approximately 70 percent of the hearing-impaired have hearing loss in both ears (referred to as a binaural loss), driving the total cost to almost $5,000 on average for a set of hearing aids.

Today in the US market, the legacy channel pushes all hearing-impaired through the same inefficient, costly channel. However, a very large portion of the hearing-impaired market – mostly notably those with mild to moderate losses – could be properly served with the proper combination of high quality, outcome-based devices, advanced fitting software and consumer services/care best practices – all at much lower cost. We believe fundamental change is needed and are

25

excited about the opportunity that we created through thoughtful hard work and planning: a chance to deliver superior outcomes-based affordable hearing healthcare, by combining state-of-the-art devices and software technology, along with best practices customer service and at a much lower cost directly to consumers across the country, many of whom have not been able to afford care previously.

We believe several factors have come together over the last few years to enable the emergence of a market disruptive, high-quality, low cost distribution model. These factors include the continued consolidation of retail (causing escalating hearing aid prices), consumer outcry, consumer education, advancements in technology (such as behind-the-ear devices, advanced digital signal processing, low-power wireless, and self-fitting software) as well as regulatory actions and pronouncements by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology and the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. 

On August 18, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law H.R. 2430, the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017, which includes a section concerning the regulation of OTC hearing aids. The law is designed to enable adults with mild to moderate hearing loss to access OTC hearing aids without being seen by a hearing care professional. The law requires the FDA to create and regulate a category of OTC hearing aids to ensure they meet the same high standards for safety, consumer labeling, and manufacturing protection that all other medical devices must meet. Today, IntriCon serves both the value-based hearing healthcare channel and the legacy hearing health channel.

Value-Based Hearing Healthcare 

The Company believes the value-based hearing healthcare (VBHH) market offers significant growth opportunities. In contrast to the legacy channel dynamics, the VBHH market channel is flexible and able to serve the end consumer through a variety of modalities which may include self-fitting, remote programing and adjustments, customer support call centers and brick-and-mortar stores. The average price of a hearing aid sold through this channel is less than twenty-five percent of the average $2,400 device price typically sold through the legacy channel. In 2018, the Company commissioned an ethnographic research study, which identified a $3+ billion annual VBHH market opportunity. To best approach this market opportunity, the Company has sharpened its Indirect-to-end-Consumer (ITEC) focus to identify potential high-profile partners that value its ability to deliver superior hearing aids, self-fitting software and customer care to the U.S. market. Moreover, the Company has refocused its Direct-to-End-Consumer (DTEC) efforts towards supporting product development and as a testing platform. Over the past decade we have invested in the manufacturing footprint, product technology and fitting software to provide individuals access to affordable, quality outcomes-based hearing healthcare.

The Company is also focused on serving its current value-based ITEC customers, who also sell products and services directly to the end consumer. We have established ourselves as a leader in supplying this portion of the market with advanced, outcome-based products and accessories. The Company has formed strong relationships with various customers in the channel, including geriatric product retailers and other indirect-to-end-consumer hearing aid providers.

In January 2019, the Company purchased the source code for the Sentibo Smart Brain self-fitting software from Soundperience, positioning the Company to capitalize on the pending over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid regulation. Sentibo Smart Brain self-fitting software is designed to improve both channel productivity and the quality of first-time fittings, resulting in lower prices, greater access and increased customer satisfaction. This software is being used in the German market today, most notably through Signison, the Company’s joint venture with the owner of Soundperience.

26

We strongly believe that incorporating self-fitting technology is a critical step in creating our high-quality, low-cost hearing healthcare ecosystem. The Sentibo Smart Brain self-fitting software technology has the potential to drastically reduce the price of hearing aids, drive greater access and increase customer satisfaction.

Legacy OEM Hearing Health Channel

We also believe there are niches in the legacy hearing health channel that will embrace our outcomes-based products and technologies in the United States and Europe. High costs of legacy devices and retail consolidation have constrained the growth potential of the independent audiologist and dispenser. We believe our software and product offering can provide independent audiologists and dispensers the ability to compete with larger retailers, such as Costco, and manufacturer owned retail distributors.

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 focused on emergency response needs. The line includes several communication devices that are extremely portable and perform well in noisy and/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.

Core Technologies Overview

Over the past several years, the Company has increased investments in the continued development of critical core technologies: Microminiaturization, Miniature Transducers, Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) Digital Signal Processing (DSP), ULP Wireless and Fitting Software. These 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 and the need for greater efficiencies in the delivery models. The continued advancements in this area have allowed the Company to further enhance the mobility and effectiveness of miniature body-worn devices. 

Microminiaturization 

IntriCon excels at miniaturizing miniature interventional, implantable and body-worn medical 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 is a suite of medical coils and micro coils technology that are currently used in surgical navigation markets, such as interventional pulmonology and electrophysiology. The recent Emerald acquisition expands IntriCon’s medical coil and micro-miniature medical device engineering and manufacturing capabilities in surgical navigation and accelerates diversification into potential new end markets.

ULP DSP  

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, the DSP technologies are utilized in the Audion8™, our eight-channel hearing aid amplifier, the Audion16™ and Audion16+™, our wide dynamic range compression sixteen-channel hearing aid amplifier. The amplifiers are feature-rich and are designed to fit a wide array of applications. In addition to multiple compression channels, the amplifiers have a complete set of proven adaptive features which greatly improve the user experience with proven outcomes.

ULP 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, including diabetes monitoring and audio streaming for hearing devices.

27

Fitting Software 

The ability to efficiently and effectively fit hearing aids is critical to building a value based eco-system of hearing healthcare. By developing more advanced fitting software systems, individuals can benefit from fittings that conform to their specific loss, while eliminating the need for an in-person appointment. In addition to the traditional fitting software, AccuFit, used in the conventional channel, IntriCon has made significant investments in various advanced fitting software solutions, including its purchase of the source code for the Sentibo Smart Brain self-fitting software, that can enable remote and self-fitting solutions. IntriCon believes these advanced fitting solutions, along with the other components of the eco-system, will drive access, affordability and superior customer satisfaction to the millions of individuals that cannot receive care today, primarily due to high cost and low access.

loss of members of our senior management team; and

other risk factors set forth in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or any prior Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this Report.

For a description of these and other risks, see Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the other risks described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or in other filings the Company makes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

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. Actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

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, inventory valuation, goodwill, certain long-lived assets and contingent consideration liabilities. 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 consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Due to the acquisition of Emerald, we have updated our accounting policies to include business combinations and contingent consideration liabilities. We record acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and net intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The application of ASC 805, Business Combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration between goodwill and assets that are depreciated and amortized. Our estimates are based on historical experience, information obtained from the management of the acquired companies and, when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. In addition, unanticipated events or circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates.

Contingent consideration liabilities depend on certain future events and are measured at fair value based on various level 3 inputs and assumptions including forecasts, probabilities of payment and discount rates. Amounts are classified as current if expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The liability for contingent consideration is subject to fair value adjustments each reporting period that will be recognized through the statement of operations. See Note 3 for additional detail on the accounting for the Emerald acquisition.

Strategic Restructuring Plan

As previously announced, on May 15, 2020, the management of the Company committed the Company to, and began executing on, a strategic restructuring plan designed to accelerate the Company’s future growth by focusing resources on the highest potential growth areas. The plan, which was supported by the Company’s Board of Directors, was completed by the end of the 2020 second quarter. 

Following the Company’s decision last quarter to no longer pursue a direct-to-end-consumer approach to the hearing health market, we recently made the decision to transition our remaining direct-to-end-consumer operations at Hearing Help Express to solely support our partnership initiatives. In addition, while continued uncertainties remain from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking many significant steps to decrease our expenditure profile and current spending run-rate. The following are significant items included in our strategic restructuring plan:

We completed a global net workforce reduction of 32 positions, including many of the previously furloughed positions, resulting in an expected annual cost savings of approximately $2.4 million

We changed our focus to seeking partners in the hearing health market, resulting in approximately $2.0 million reduction in Hearing Help Express consumer advertising expense in 2020 as compared to 2019; and

In connection with the strategic restructuring plan, we incurred a $1.2 million restructuring charge during the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 related to one-time employee termination costs as well as losses on disposal of assets

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced a decrease of 24.7% and 23.0% in net revenue in the diabetes medical market compared to the same period in 2019 driven by the timing of certain international orders filtering through various local regulatory requirements as well as a delay in orders due to uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we cannot predict the specific extent or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial and operating results, we anticipate the potential for future impacts on various product lines in our medical diabetes market. We continue to closely monitor revenue, particularly in states that have implemented more restrictive stay-at-home executive orders or recommendations. We have proactively communicated with customers to understand their needs and forecast the financial implications from these conversations.

All other medical net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 56% compared to the same period in 2019. The increase for the three-month period was driven by demand for our medical molding and medical coils business. Also included in 2020 other medical revenue is approximately $1.0M of revenue generated from the purchase date through June 30, 2020 related to our newly acquired Emerald business. All other medical net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased 13% compared to the same period in 2019. The increase for the six-month period was driven by the revenues derived from Emerald since the purchase date, as well as increased medical coil and medical molding demand, partially offset by a one-time revenue adjustment, partially offset by. During the first quarter we recorded a cumulative adjustment of $1.2 million to reduce revenue within our other medical market to correct an error related to prior periods as a result of our determination that a portion of our sales being recognized over time needed to be recognized at a point in time. The adjustment included a reduction of the related cost of goods sold of $0.8 million and related impacts to reduce the contract asset and an increase to inventory. The adjustment was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements for any quarterly or annual period.

Net revenue in our hearing health value based direct-to-end-consumer (DTEC) business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 20.1% and 23.9% compared to the same period in 2019 due to reductions in advertising spend in an effort to control costs as part of our strategic restructuring plan.

Net revenue in our hearing health value based indirect-to-end-consumer (ITEC) business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 43.1% and 57.6% compared to the same period in 2019. The revenue decline was largely attributed to the absence of hiHealthInnovations revenue in 2020.

Net revenue in our hearing health legacy OEM business for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 32.2% and 31.0% compared to the same period in 2019 due to decreased demand partially caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As it relates to our overall Hearing Health business, we believe that the FDA could be delayed in promulgating regulations regarding OTC hearing aids due to COVID-19 priorities at the FDA, which delay will likely have an adverse impact on hearing health markets over the course of 2020.

Net revenue to the professional audio device sector decreased 42.8% and 35.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 due to order delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was as follows:

	2020			2019			Change
			Percent			Percent
Three Months Ended June 30,	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		Percent
Gross Profit	$	6,606	28.0%	$	8,215	28.0%	$	(1,609)	-19.6%
	2020			2019			Change

Gross Profit	$	11,178	24.8%	$	16,773	28.5%	$	(5,595)	-33.4%

31

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was in-line with the prior year period primarily due to cost reductions put in place by the Company during the second quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased over the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower revenues, changes in product mix, excess capacity related to the recent manufacturing expansion to meet the higher volume requirements of our existing and future customers as well as inefficiencies and excess capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

	2020			2019			Change
			Percent			Percent
Three Months Ended June 30,	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		Percent
Sales and Marketing	$	1,680	7.1%	$	3,072	5.2%	$	(1,392)	-45.3%
General and Administrative		4,603	19.5%		3,650	6.2%		953	26.1%
Research and Development		1,209	5.1%		1,097	1.9%		112	10.2%
Acquisition Costs		493	2.1%		-	0.0%		493	100.0%
	2020			2019			Change
			Percent			Percent
Six Months Ended June 30,	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		of Revenue	Dollars		Percent
Sales and Marketing	$	3,673	8.1%	$	6,461	11.0%	$	(2,788)	-43.2%
General and Administrative		8,019	17.8%		6,836	11.6%		1,183	17.3%
Research and Development		2,410	5.3%		2,062	3.5%		348	16.9%
Acquisition Costs		493	1.1%		-	0.0%		493	100.0%

Sales and marketing expenses decreased compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease was due to lower DTEC marketing, support costs, wages and bad debt expenses.

General and administrative expenses were greater than the prior year periods primarily due to increased severance expense and non-cash stock compensation, including a transition payment of $443 (equal to one year’s salary) and $400 of RSUs issuable to our CEO per the Transition Agreement signed in June 2020.

Research and development expenses increased over the prior year periods due to increases in outside service and support costs as well as the amortization of Sentibo Fitting Software which was placed into service during the 2020 second quarter.

Acquisition costs increased over the prior year periods due to acquisition related costs for the purchase of Emerald.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,171. Refer to Note 4 for additional details.

Impairment loss

Impairment loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3,765. There were no impairment losses identified for the comparable current year periods. The impairment losses related to a write-off of goodwill and intangible assets due to negative cash flows within our Hearing Help Express reporting unit.

Interest income, net

Interest income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $97 and $281 compared to $248 and $463 for the comparable periods in 2019 due to an overall reduction in our investment balance. The investment balance has decreased as we have deposited proceeds of maturing securities into a money market account in order to maintain liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic and have recently begun reinvesting excess cash.

32

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $208 and $101 compared to ($272) and ($406) for the same periods in 2019. The increase over the prior year periods is due to Singapore government funds paid to our subsidiaries due to COVID-19 shutdowns.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $29 and $47 compared to $116 and $247 for the same periods in 2019. The change in income tax expense relates to a reduction of foreign income taxes paid in the current period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe we continue to maintain adequate liquidity to operate our businesses. As of June 30, 2020, we had $7,056 of cash on hand as well as $19,921 of short-term investment securities maturing within the next twelve months. Sources of our cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 have been from our investing 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:

		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2020		June 30, 2019
Cash (used in) provided by continuing operations:
Operating activities	$	(1,508)	$	2,175
Investing activities		261		(196)
Financing activities		(196)		(100)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(37)		(13)
Net (decrease) increase in cash from continuing operations		(1,480)		1,866
Cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations, net		3		(112)
Net (decrease) increase in cash	$	(1,477)	$	1,754

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2,175 for the same period in 2019. The variance was primarily attributable to lower cash earnings due to lower gross profit related to order delays due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the payment of restructuring charges and acquisition costs in the current period, partially offset by increases in accrued expenses.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $261 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $196, for the same period in 2019. The variance primarily consisted of net proceeds from maturing investment securities partially offset by payments for the acquisitions as well as purchases of machinery and equipment; see Note 3.

Net cash used in financing activities was $196 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $100, for the same period in 2019. The variance comprised primarily from the withholding of shares from vesting RSU awards to pay withholding taxes and the payment of financing leases partially offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares.

The Company had the following bank arrangements:

Domestic Credit Facilities

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are parties to a credit facility with CIBC Bank USA. The credit facility, as amended through the date of this filing, provides for a $12,000 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. The credit facility matures on December 15, 2022.

33

On May 13, 2020, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries entered into a Fourteenth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement and Waiver (the “Fourteenth Amendment”) with CIBC Bank USA. The Fourteenth Amendment, among other things:

Increased the Company’s revolving loan borrowing capacity to $12.0 million from its then current capacity of $7.0 million;

Added provisions addressing interest rates following the unavailability of the London Interbank Offered Rate or LIBOR;

Eliminated the funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio for the quarter ending June 30, 2020;

Added a financial covenant requiring that at all times until September 30, 2020, the borrowers maintain at least $15.0 million of liquidity, calculated as the sum of (a) cash on hand, plus (b) cash equivalent investments, plus (c) available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2020.

Foreign Credit Facility

In addition to its domestic credit facilities, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IntriCon, PTE LTD., has an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for an asset-based line of credit. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of .75% to 2.5% over the lender’s prevailing prime lending rate.

Capital Adequacy

We believe that funds expected to be generated from operations, funds maintained in liquid investments and funds available under our revolving credit loan facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operating needs for at least the next 12 months. 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.

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company had a total borrowing capacity under its credit facilities of $14,374 and $9,589, respectively, with no borrowings outstanding at each reporting period.

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 June 30, 2020 (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).

Our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting excluded the assets and operations acquired on May 18, 2020 in the Emerald transaction. Emerald’s assets and operations are less than 20% of total assets and revenues (excluding Emerald’s goodwill and intangible assets which were integrated into the Company’s systems and control environment) of the consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the period ended June 30, 2020. Such exclusion was in accordance with SEC guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted in management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, provided the acquisition took place within twelve months of management’s evaluation. This exclusion is expected to apply to our assessments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 as well.

34

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The information contained in Note 18 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I of this quarterly report is incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the foregoing and the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the following risk factors, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and below are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond could be materially adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

The outbreak of the novel COVID-19 (coronavirus) has evolved into a global pandemic. COVID-19 has spread to many regions of the world, including North America, Asia and Europe. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, operating results and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, cannot be accurately predicted and may be beyond our control. Uncertain factors relating to the COVID-19 pandemic include the duration of the outbreak, the severity of the virus, and the actions, or perception of actions that may be taken, to contain or treat its impact, including declarations of states of emergency, business closures, manufacturing restrictions and a prolonged period of travel, commercial and/or other similar restrictions and limitations.

We cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic, actions that may be taken by governments and businesses in response to the pandemic, or the impacts of the pandemic on healthcare systems. These impacts and associated responses of the COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations in a number of ways, including but not limited to:

Temporary shutdown of our facilities in Minnesota, Singapore and Indonesia as a result of employee illness or government restrictions, disruptions or restrictions on the ability to ship our products to our customers as well as disruptions that may affect our customers and suppliers;

Reduced revenues as a result of disruptions in our operations or in demand by our customers, including our major customers. For example, our revenues in the first half of 2020 declined, in part due to delays in orders from our clients as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic;

Our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to supply us according to our schedule and specifications. If our suppliers’ operations are impacted, we may need to seek alternate suppliers, which may be more expensive, may not be available or may result in delays in shipments to us and subsequently to our customers;

Reduced cash flow from our operations due to reductions in revenues or collections from our customers and increases in operating costs related to actions taken in response to the pandemic. For example, we have experienced higher operating costs associated with newly added health screenings, temperature checks and enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols to protect our employees, which we expect could continue or could increase in these or other areas;

Reduced revenues or earnings may require us to perform impairment assessments of our long-lived assets, goodwill and other assets and result in charges to earnings;

Reduced business productivity due to inefficiencies in employees working from home or increasing physical distancing and other pandemic response protocols in our production facilities;

Diminished ability, or inability, to complete clinical trials and other activities required to achieve regulatory clearing for our products under development due to lack of access to healthcare facilities, healthcare providers and patients. For example, we have postponed our anticipated “self-fitting software” clinical trial until such time as we can ensure the health and safely of trial participants; this delay could adversely affect our hearing health business;

‎

36

Increased susceptibility to the risk of information technology security breaches and other disruptions due to increased volumes of remote access to our information systems from our employees working at home;

National or global economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak, which may have a negative effect on the demand for our products and our operating results;

Potential delays in the over-the-counter hearing aid regulations required to be promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to COVID-19 priorities, which delay will likely have an adverse impact on our hearing health business over the course of 2020 and beyond;

Diminished ability to retain personnel over concerns about workplace exposure to COVID-19, or to hire and effectively train new personnel, due to physical distancing protocols; and

Increased volatility in our stock price due to financial market instability.

The duration of the disruptions to our customers and to our supply chain, and related financial impact to us, cannot be estimated at this time. If such disruptions continue for an extended period of time, the impact could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

These and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The ultimate impact depends on the severity and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response, each of which is uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. Any of these disruptions could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We recently acquired Emerald Medical Services and we may explore other acquisitions that complement or expand our business. Acquisitions pose significant risks and may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

In May 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Emerald Medical Services, a company incorporated and based in Singapore. Emerald Medical Services represents a new and exciting business opportunity; however, we do not have any prior experience in the complex medical catheter business, and we may not be able to successfully integrate or profitably operate this business, which may result in our not realizing the value paid for the acquisition. We expect to record goodwill and intangible assets in connection with the acquisition, and if we are not able to realize the value paid, it could lead to impairment of the assets acquired, for which we would need to recognize an expense charge. Our success will be largely influenced by management’s ability to hire and retain skilled personnel and determine the proper customer base and marketing channels to achieve our planned profitability levels.

As part of our business strategy, we may in the future pursue acquisitions of other businesses or technologies that we believe could complement, enhance or expand our current business or product lines, diversify our revenue base or that might otherwise offer us growth opportunities. We may have difficulty finding these opportunities or, if we do identify these opportunities, we may not be able to complete the transactions for various reasons, including a failure to secure financing.

The Emerald Medical Services acquisition, and any other transactions that we are able to identify and complete, involve a number of risks, including: the diversion of our management’s attention from our existing business to integrate the operations and personnel of the acquired or combined business or joint venture; possible adverse effects on our operating results during the integration process; unanticipated liabilities and litigation; and our possible inability to achieve the intended objectives or achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction. In addition, we may not be able to successfully or profitably integrate, operate, maintain and manage our newly acquired operations or employees. Future acquisitions also may result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of additional debt.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

As previously reported, on May 18, 2020, IntriCon Pte. Ltd. (“Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Emerald Medical Services Pte., Ltd., a Singapore company (“Emerald”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated the same date among Buyer, Emerald and the direct and indirect owners of Emerald. As part of the purchase price, the Company issued to the owners a total of 80,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The issuance of these shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for an issuance not involving a public offering based upon certain representations made by the owners.
