INTRICON CORPORATION



Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)



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 consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicators of the results of the operations expected for the full year.



2.
        New Accounting Pronouncements




The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has published FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to address the noncomparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in SFAS No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, on the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. Specifically, FIN No. 48 prescribes (a) a consistent recognition threshold and (b) a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 applied to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption
permitted. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Fin No. 48. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At January 1, 2007, the Company had accrued zero for the payment of tax related interest and there was no tax interest or penalties recognized in the statements of operations. The Companys federal and state tax returns are potentially open to examinations for fiscal years 2003-2006. The Company does not expect any reasonably possible material changes to the estimated amounts associated with its uncertain tax positions and related accruals for interest and penalties through December 31, 2007.



FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) in September 2006. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158) in September 2006. This statement requires an employer to: (1) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans over-funded status or a liability for the plans under-funded status, (2) measure the plans assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year (with limited exceptions) and (3) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, the changes in the funded status of the plan that arise during the year but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to other relevant accounting standards. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information on how delayed recognition of
certain changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan affects net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year. Adoption of SFAS 158 is required for public companies by the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. Measurement of the plans assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year is required to be adopted for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the measurement as of the end of a fiscal year to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.



FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) in February 2007. This statement expands the use of fair value measurement by permitting entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective beginning with the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

        Acquisitions




On May 22, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets, other than real estate, of Tibbetts Industries, Inc. (Tibbetts), a privately held designer and manufacturer of components used in hearing aids and medical devices, based in Camden, Maine. The acquisition expanded the Companys component technology and customer base.



Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated as of April 19, 2007, by and among the Company and Tibbetts and certain of the principal shareholders of Tibbetts, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Tibbetts, other than real estate, for cash of $4,500,000, subject to a closing adjustment, and the assumption of certain liabilities (total purchase price of $5,562,000 including acquisition costs of $221,000). Certain escrow amounts will be distributed to the seller at the conclusion of the respective escrow periods.



The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Companys new credit facility, as further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.



In addition, the Company entered into a five year lease and a ten year lease, for Tibbetts two facilities in Camden, Maine, in each case with an option to renew for two additional periods of five years each.

Table of Contents

The Company has accounted for the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tibbetts, other than real estate, utilizing the generally accepted accounting principles of SFAS Nos. 141, Business Combinations, and 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Tibbetts were recorded as of the acquisition date, at their respective fair values, and consolidated with those of the Company. Likewise, the results of operations of the Tibbetts operations since May 22, 2007 have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The preliminary allocation of the net purchase price of the acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately $2,198,000. The goodwill represents operating and market synergies that we expect to be realized as a result of the acquisition and future
opportunities and is also deductible for tax purposes based on a 15 year amortization schedule. The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company is in the process of gathering information to finalize its valuation of certain assets, primarily the valuation of an acquired joint venture interest. The purchase price allocation will be finalized once the Company has all the necessary information to complete its estimate, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. The valuation requires the use of significant assumptions and estimates. These estimates were based on assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates.



The preliminary purchase price as of September 30, 2007 was as follows (amounts in thousands):

The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of Tibbetts had occurred at January 1, 2006, the beginning of the earliest period presented. All amounts presented are in thousands. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are factually supportable, including the increase in interest expense related to the borrowings used to fund the acquisition and the increase in depreciation expense of Tibbetts related to the step-up of fixed assets to fair value. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually
would have been had the acquisition been completed on the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Company after completion of the acquisition.

The Company and its subsidiaries, Resistance Technology, Inc., RTI Electronics, Inc. and IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation, referred to as the borrowers, entered into a credit facility with LaSalle Bank, National Association, referred to as the lender, on May 22, 2007 replacing the prior credit facilities with M & I Business Credit (formerly known as Diversified Business Credit, Inc.).  The credit facility provides for:




        a $10,000,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200,000 subfacility for letters of credit. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of our eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, less a reserve.



        a $4,500,000 term loan, which was used to fund the Tibbetts acquisition.


Loans under the new credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers including a pledge of the stock of the subsidiaries. All of the borrowers are jointly and severally liable for all borrowings under the new credit facility.



Loans under the new credit facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at:




        the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.90%, in the case of revolving line of credit loans, or LIBOR plus 2.15%, in the case of the term loan, 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%.


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, or every three months in the case of LIBOR based loans with a six month interest period.



Weighted average interest on the domestic asset-based revolving credit facilities (including the prior credit facility) was 7.21% and 8.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 8.09% and 8.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Table of Contents

The new credit facility will expire and all outstanding loans will become due and payable on June 30, 2012. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments, commencing on September 30, 2007, based on an increasing installment schedule, with any balance due on June 30, 2012.



The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facilities was $4,623,000 and $3,569,349 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The total remaining availability on the revolving credit facility was $3,670,654 at September 30, 2007.



The revolving facility carries 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.



We are subject to various covenants under the credit facility, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, funded debt to EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio and capital expenditures. Under the credit facility, except as otherwise permitted, the borrowers may not, among other things, incur or permit to exist any indebtedness; grant or permit to exist any liens or security interests on their assets or pledge the stock of any subsidiary; make investments; be a party to any merger or consolidation, or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of any other entity; sell, transfer, convey or lease all or any substantial part of its assets or capital securities; sell or assign, with or without recourse, any receivables; issue any capital securities; make any distribution or dividend (other than stock dividends), whether in cash or otherwise, to any of its
equityholders; purchase or redeem any of its equity interests or any warrants, options or other rights in respect thereof; enter into any transaction with any of its affiliates or with any director, officer or employee of any borrower; be a party to any unconditional purchase obligations; cancel any claim or debt owing to it; enter into any agreement inconsistent with the provisions of the credit facility or other agreements and documents entered into in connection with the credit facility; engage in any line of business other than the businesses engaged in on the date of the credit facility and businesses reasonably related thereto; or permit its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents to be amended or modified in any way which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the lender. Effective as of September 30, 2007, the credit facility was amended to change the tangible net worth covenant. As of September 30, 2007 the Company was in
compliance with all financial covenants under the credit facility, as amended.



Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (as defined in the credit facility), the lender may, among other things: terminate its commitments to the borrowers (including terminating or suspending its obligation to make loans and advances); declare all outstanding loans, interest and fees to be immediately due and payable; take possession of and sell any pledged assets and other collateral; and exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. In the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower, all commitments of the lender will automatically terminate and all outstanding loans, interest and fees will be immediately due and payable. Events of default include, among other things: failure to pay any amounts when due; material misrepresentation; default in the performance of any covenant,
condition or agreement to be performed that is not cured within 20 days after notice from the lender; default in the payment of other indebtedness or other obligation with an outstanding principal balance of more than $50,0000, or of any  other term, condition or covenant contained in the agreement under which such obligation is created, the effect of which is to allow the other party to accelerate such payment or to terminate the agreements; the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower; the entrance of any judgment against any borrower in excess of $50,000, which is not fully covered by insurance; the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the credit facility); certain collateral impairments; and a contribution failure with respect to any employee benefit plan that gives rise to a lien under ERISA.

The prior credit facility provided for:




        a $5,500,000 domestic revolving credit facility, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 5.25%, or 0.5% over prime. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depended on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of our eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, less a reserve.



        a $1,000,000 domestic equipment term loan, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 5.25%, or 0.75% over the prime rate.


The revolving facility carried a commitment fee of 0.25% per year, payable on the unborrowed portion of the line. Additionally, the credit facility required an annual fee of $27,500 due on August 31, 2007, and 2008. Upon termination of the credit facility by us prior to maturity, the Company was required to pay a termination fee equal to 2% of the total of the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility plus the amounts then outstanding under the term loan, equal to $110,000.



The credit facility originally included a real estate loan with an original principal balance of $1,500,000, which was associated with our Vadnais Heights manufacturing facility. In June 2006, the Company completed a sale-leaseback of the Vadnais Heights manufacturing facility. The transaction generated proceeds of $2,650,000, of which $1,388,000 was used to repay the associated real estate loan and the remainder to pay down our domestic revolver. The remaining gain on the sale of $963,236 is being recognized over the initial 10-year lease term as the renewal options in the lease are not assured and a penalty does not exist if we do not exercise the renewal options.



In addition to our domestic credit facilities, on August 15, 2005, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, RTI Tech, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $1.6 million line of credit. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of 6.47%. The outstanding balance was $843,739 and $1,044,791 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was $840,897 at September 30, 2007.



During 2005, the Company entered into several capital lease agreements to fund the acquisition of machinery and equipment. For 2005, the total principal amount of these leases was $314,000 with effective interest rates ranging from 6.7% to 8.0%. These agreements range from 3 to 5 years. The outstanding balance under these capital lease agreements at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $113,000 and $169,000, respectively. The accumulated amortization on leased equipment was $107,763 and $74,129 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The amortization of capital leases is included in depreciation expense for 2007 and 2006.



8.
        Income Taxes




Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $85,545 and $220,816, respectively, compared to $52,856 and $127,874 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. The expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to foreign taxes on German and Singapore operations. The Company is in a net operating loss position for federal income tax purposes and, consequently, no federal expense from the current period domestic operations was recognized as the deferred tax asset has a full valuation allowance. On February 22, 2006 the Company received approval from the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry to lower the effective tax rate in Singapore from 20% to 13%. This change was retroactive to September 2003. As such, a $106,000 benefit was recognized for Singapore operations in the first quarter of 2006.

        Stockholders Equity and Stock-based Compensation




The Company applies the provisions of SFAS 123R, which establishes the accounting for stock-based awards.



The Company has a 1994 stock option plan, a 2001 stock option plan, a non-employee directors stock option plan and a 2006 equity incentive plan. The time for granting options under the 1994 plan has expired, however certain option grants under this plan remain exercisable as of September 30, 2007. As a result of the approval of the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan by the shareholders at the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders, no further grants will be made pursuant to the non-employee directors and 2001 stock option plans. 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 698,500 shares. Additionally, as outstanding options under the 2001 stock option plan and non-employee directors stock option plan expire, such 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 had been granted as of September 30, 2007.



Under all awards, the terms are fixed on the grant date. Generally, the exercise price equals the market price of the Companys stock on the date of the grant. Options under the plans generally vest over one to five years, and have a maximum term of 10 years. Options issued to directors generally vest over one to three years.

The number of shares available for future grant at December 31, 2006, does not include a total of up to 439,333 shares subject to options outstanding under the 2001 stock option plan and non-employee directors stock option plan which will become available for grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan in the event of the expiration of said 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 Company calculates expected volatility for stock options and awards using both historical volatility as well as the average volatility of our peer competitors. Historical volatility is not strictly used due to the material changes in the Companys operations as a result of the sales of business segments that occurred in 2004 and 2005 (see Note 3 and Note 4 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006).



The Company currently estimates a nine 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 and the employee stock purchase plan is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of September 30, 2007, there was $382,559 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.



At the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholders approved the IntriCon Corporation 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan). A maximum of 100,000 shares may be sold under the Purchase Plan. There were no employee stock purchases under the plan as of September 30, 2007.

        Income (Loss) Per Share




The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share related to the Companys employee stock option and equity plans:

        5,466,128
        
        5,490,606




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. Net income (loss) per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net income (loss) per share. When dilutive, stock options are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net income (loss) per share. There were dilutive common stock equivalents of 360,379 shares and 269,057 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 255,352 shares and 335,973 shares of dilutive common stock equivalents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.



Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were options to purchase approximately 123,500 common shares with an average exercise price of $10.08, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 were options to purchase approximately 144,000 common shares, with an average exercise price of $9.83, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

        Derivative Financial Instruments




Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company in the management of its interest rate exposure. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. When entered into, the Company formally designates the derivative financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure if such criteria are met, and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high correlation between the derivative financial instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative financial
instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Any ineffective portion of a derivative financial instruments change in fair value would be immediately recognized in earnings.



The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges with the changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The swaps settle periodically in arrears with the related amounts for the current settlement period payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties included in accrued liabilities or accounts receivable and recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense from the underlying debt to which the swap is designated. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 no such adjustments were recorded to Interest expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, ineffectiveness from such hedges was $0.



At September 30, 2007, the Company had a United States Dollar (USD) denominated interest rate swap outstanding which effectively fixed the interest rate on floating rate debt, exclusive of lender spreads, at 5.36% for a notional principal amount of $2,000,000 through December 2010. The derivative net loss on this contract recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2007 was $39,882, which is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings over the next 3 months.

        Legal Proceedings




We are a defendant along with a number of other parties in approximately 122 lawsuits as of September 30, 2007, (approximately 122 lawsuits as of December 31, 2006) 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. Due to the noninformative nature of the complaints, we do not know whether any of the complaints state valid claims against us. Certain insurance carriers have informed us that the primary policies for the period August 1, 1970-1973, have been exhausted and that the carriers will no longer provide a defense under those policies. We have requested that the carriers substantiate this situation. We believe we have additional policies available for other years which have been ignored by the carriers. As settlement payments are applied to
all years a litigant was deemed to have been exposed to asbestos, we believe when settlement payments are applied to these additional policies, we will have availability under the years deemed exhausted. We do not believe that the asserted exhaustion of the primary insurance coverage for this period will have a material adverse effect on our 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, to which these insurance carriers are insuring us, make the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.



A claim has been made against the Company by BET Investments (BET) for recovery of costs allegedly incurred by BET in connection with the removal of drums containing hazardous materials and related clean-up costs from real estate which the Company sold to BET in 2003 and upon which the Company formerly operated a manufacturing facility. Based upon invoices submitted by BET, the maximum amount of BETs claim is approximately $270,000. The Company and its counsel are currently evaluating the extent of the Companys liability, if any, for this claim. Although the Company is unable to estimate the exact amount of loss, the Company believes at this time the loss estimate could range from $0 to $270,000. Based on the information available to the Company at this time, no amount in this range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount. As such, as of September 30,
2007 we have not recorded a reserve for this claim.



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



We are 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.

        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, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The subsidiary is required to pay all real estate taxes and operating expenses. In the opinion of management, the terms of the lease agreement are comparable to those which could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. The total base rent expense incurred under the lease was approximately $360,000 for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Annual lease commitments approximate $475,000 through October 2011.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company paid that firm approximately $410,000 for legal services and costs. The Chairman of our Board of Directors is considered independent because the amount paid to Blank Rome LLP is less than 5% of its revenues. Furthermore, the aforementioned partner does not provide any legal services to the Company and is not involved in billing matters.

The adjustment to the assets of Amecon, Inc. which were acquired in October 2005, was due to the final adjustment to the working capital requirement pursuant to the asset purchase agreement by and between the Company and Amecon, Inc. The Company believes no future material adjustment is likely.

        Investment in Equity Instruments




On December 27, 2006, the Company joined the Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Patent Partnership (HIMPP). Members of the partnership include the largest six hearing aid manufacturers as well as several other smaller manufacturers.  The purchase price of $1,800,000 included a 9% equity interest in K/S HIMPP as well as a license agreement that will grant the Company access to over 45 US registered patents. The Company accounted for the K/S HIMPP investment using the equity method of accounting for common stock, as the equity interest is deemed to be more than minor as defined in AICPA Statement of Position 78-9 Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures. The investment required a $260,000 payment made at the time of closing. The unpaid balance of $1,540,000 at December 31, 2006 will be paid in five annual installments of $260,000 in 2007 through 2011, with a
final installment of $240,000 in 2012. The unpaid balance is unsecured and bears interest at an annual rate of 4%, which is payable annually with each installment. The investment in the partnership exceeded underlying net assets by approximately $1,475,000. Based on a preliminary assessment of the partnership, the Company has determined that portions of the excess of the investment over the underlying partnership assets relate to underlying patents and other intangibles. Based on the initial estimated value, the Company has recorded a $205,000 decrease 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of the investment in the underlying equity in net assets of K/S HIMPP, therefore the amount recorded as investment is subject to refinement.



The Companys subsidiary, IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation, owns a 50% interest in a joint venture with a Swiss company to market, design, manufacture, and sell audio coils to the hearing health industry. The Company has recorded a $50,000 increase in the carrying amount of the investment, reflecting the Companys portion of the joint ventures operating results for the period ended September 30, 2007.

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




Business Overview



Headquartered in Arden Hills, Minnesota, IntriCon Corporation (formerly Selas Corporation of America) is an international firm that designs, develops, engineers and manufactures micro-miniature medical and electronic products. The Company supplies micro-miniaturized components, systems and molded plastic parts, primarily to the hearing instrument manufacturing industry, as well as the computer, electronics, telecommunications and medical equipment industries. In addition to its operations in Minnesota, the Company has facilities in California, Maine, Singapore, and Germany.

Currently, the Company has one operating segment, its precision miniature medical and electronics products segment. The Company manufactures micro-miniature components, systems and molded plastic parts for hearing instruments, medical equipment, electronics, telecommunications and computer industry manufacturers. These components consist of volume controls, microphones, trimmer potentiometers and switches. The Company also manufactures hybrid amplifiers and integrated circuit components (hybrid amplifiers), along with faceplates for in-the-ear and in-the-canal hearing instruments. Components are offered in a variety of sizes, colors and capacities in order to accommodate a hearing manufacturers individualized specifications.



In the medical market, the Company is focused on sales of microelectronics, micromechanical assemblies and high-precision plastic molded components to medical device manufacturers. Targeted customers include medical product manufacturers of portable and lightweight battery powered devices, large AC-powered units often found in clinics and hospitals, as well as a variety of sensors designed to connect a patient to an electronic device.



The medical industry is faced with pressures to reduce the costs of healthcare. The Company offers medical manufacturers the capabilities to design, develop and manufacture components for medical devices that are easier to use, measure with greater accuracy and provide more functions while reducing the costs to manufacture these devices. Examples of the Companys products used by medical device manufacturers include components found in intravenous fluid administration pumps that introduce drugs into the bloodstream, and bubble sensors and flow restrictors that monitor and control the flow of fluid in an intravenous infusion system.



The Company also manufactures a family of safety needle products for an OEM customer that utilizes the Companys insert and straight molding capabilities. These products are assembled using full automation including built-in quality checks within the production lines. Other examples include sensors used to detect pathologies in specific organs of the body and monitoring devices to detect cardiac and respiratory functions. The early and accurate detection of pathologies allows for increased likelihood of successful treatment of chronic diseases and cancers. Accurate monitoring of multiple functions of the body, such as heart rate and breathing, aids in generating more accurate diagnosis and treatments for patients.



The Company has also expanded its micro-miniature components business through the manufacture of thermistors and film capacitors. The Company manufactures and sells thermistors and thermistor assemblies, which are solid state devices that produce precise changes in electrical resistance as a function of any change in absolute body temperature. The balance of sales represents various industrial, commercial and military sales for thermistor and thermistor assemblies to domestic and international markets.

On May 22, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Tibbetts Industries, Inc., other than real estate. Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated as of April 19, 2007, by and among the Company and Tibbetts and certain of the principal shareholders of Tibbetts, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Tibbetts, other than real estate, for cash of $4,500,000, subject to a closing adjustment, and the assumption of certain liabilities (total purchase price of $5,562,000 including acquisition costs of $221,000). The Company deposited a total of $525,000 of the closing payment in escrow to be held after closing of the purchase. $475,000 will be held for 18 months to cover potential indemnification claims and $50,000 will be held for a reasonable period of time to cover potential purchase price adjustment based on the net tangible asset value at
purchase. Certain escrow amounts will be distributed to the seller at the conclusion of the respective escrow periods.



The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Companys new credit facility, as further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.



The addition of Tibbetts provides us with incremental gains in both our medical and professional audio businesses. We believe the benefits of this acquisition will eventually carry over to hearing health, where we expect to incorporate Tibbetts pioneering magnetic telecoil and miniature transducer technology into key hearing aid components. Tibbetts surveillance capabilities also expand our markets to include security productswhich are reflected in our professional audio performance.

Our net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 grew approximately 47.7% and 33.1%, respectively, over the same prior year periods. The primary driver to our increase was our core hearing health, medical, and professional audio businesses. Our net sales from our three core businesses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 approximately 60.4% and 43.7%, respectively, over the same prior year periods. Also contributing to the increase was approximately $2,853,000 of sales from the May 22, 2007 acquisition of Tibbetts.



The hearing health increases were primarily due to new product offerings in our advanced line of amplifier assemblies and systems based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP).



Medical net sales increases were due to strengthened orders for design and manufacturing with several medical OEM customers. Also contributing to the increase was approximately $1,235,000 of sales from the May 22, 2007 acquisition of Tibbetts.



The professional audio device net sales increases were primarily due to higher demand for microphones from existing customers. Also contributing to the increase was approximately $1,618,000 of sales from the May 22, 2007 acquisition of Tibbetts.



The Electronics net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased due to lower demand from one customer.

The gross profit margin as a percentage of sales, increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the previous year periods primarily due to a lower volume of new product introductions combined with a higher margin product mix.

The increased selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses for three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year periods were primarily driven by the need to adequately support our growth. Also contributing to the increase was approximately $599,000 of additional operating expenses from the May 22, 2007 acquisition of Tibbetts.



Operating income



Operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,129,000 and $2,325,000, respectively, compared to $591,000 and $1,297,000 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. These increases were due to the reasons described above.



Interest expense



Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $278,000 and $772,000, respectively, compared to $91,000 and $393,000 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased amounts of outstanding debt and charges related to the refinancing of the credit facility in connection with the Tibbetts acquisition.



Interest income



Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $13,000 and $71,000, respectively, compared to $17,000 and $56,000 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. The interest income was primarily attributable to interest on the note receivable from the buyer of the discontinued operations that were sold on March 31, 2005.

Equity in earnings of partnerships



The equity in earnings of partnerships for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $75,000 and $155,000, respectively. The investment in the HIMPP partnership exceeded underlying net assets by approximately $1,475,000. Based on a preliminary assessment of the partnership, the Company has determined that portions of the excess of the investment over the underlying partnership assets relate to underlying patents and other intangibles. Based on the initial estimated value, the Company has recorded a $205,000 decrease 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007.



The Companys subsidiary, IntriCon Tibbetts, has recorded a $50,000 increase in the carrying amount of the investment in joint venture, reflecting the Companys portion of the joint ventures operating results for the period ended September 30, 2007.



Other expense, net



Other expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $53,000 and $43,000, respectively, compared to $10,000 and $71,000 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. The change in other expense, net primarily related to the changes in foreign currency exchange.



Income taxes



Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $86,000 and $221,000, respectively, compared to $53,000 and $128,000 for the same periods in 2006, respectively. The expenses in 2007 were primarily due to foreign taxes on German and Singapore operations. The Company is in a net operating loss position for federal income tax purposes and, consequently, no expense from the current period domestic operations was recognized. On February 22, 2006 the Company received approval from the Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry to lower the effective tax rate in Singapore from 20% to 13%. This change was retroactive to September 2003. As such a $106,000 benefit was recognized in the first quarter of 2006.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of September 30, 2007, we had approximately $1.0 million of cash on hand. Sources of our cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 have been from our operations and our credit facility, 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 (in thousands):

We and our subsidiaries, Resistance Technology, Inc., RTI Electronics, Inc. and IntriCon Tibbetts Corporation, referred to as the borrowers, entered into a credit facility with LaSalle Bank, National Association, referred to as the lender, on May 22, 2007 replacing the prior credit facilities with M & I Business Credit (formerly known as Diversified Business Credit, Inc.).  The credit facility provides for:




        a $10,000,000 revolving credit facility, with a $200,000 subfacility for letters of credit. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depends on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of our eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, less a reserve.





        a $4,500,000 term loan which was used to fund the Tibbetts acquisition.




Loans under the new credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers including a pledge of the stock of the subsidiaries. All of the borrowers are jointly and severally liable for all borrowings under the new credit facility.



Loans under the new credit facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at:




        the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.90%, in the case of revolving line of credit loans, or LIBOR plus 2.15%, in the case of the term loan, 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%.




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, or every three months in the case of LIBOR based loans with a six month interest period.



Weighted average interest on the domestic asset-based revolving credit facilities (including the prior credit facility) was 7.21% and 8.75% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 8.09% and 8.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.



The new credit facility will expire and all outstanding loans will become due and payable on June 30, 2012. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments, commencing on September 30, 2007, based on an increasing installment schedule, with any balance due on June 30, 2012.



The outstanding balance of the revolving credit facilities was $4,623,000 and $3,569,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The total remaining availability on the revolving credit facility was $3,671,000 at September 30, 2007.



The revolving facility carries 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.

We are subject to various covenants under the credit facility, including financial covenants relating to tangible net worth, funded debt to EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio and capital expenditures. Under the credit facility, except as otherwise permitted, the borrowers may not, among other things, incur or permit to exist any indebtedness; grant or permit to exist any liens or security interests on their assets or pledge the stock of any subsidiary; make investments; be a party to any merger or consolidation, or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or equity of any other entity; sell, transfer, convey or lease all or any substantial part of its assets or capital securities; sell or assign, with or without recourse, any receivables; issue any capital securities; make any distribution or dividend (other than stock dividends), whether in cash or otherwise, to any of its equityholders;
purchase or redeem any of its equity interests or any warrants, options or other rights in respect thereof; enter into any transaction with any of its affiliates or with any director, officer or employee of any borrower; be a party to any unconditional purchase obligations; cancel any claim or debt owing to it; enter into any agreement inconsistent with the provisions of the credit facility or other agreements and documents entered into in connection with the credit facility; engage in any line of business other than the businesses engaged in on the date of the credit facility and businesses reasonably related thereto; or permit its charter, bylaws or other organizational documents to be amended or modified in any way which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the interests of the lender. Effective as of September 30, 2007, the credit facility was amended to change the tangible net worth covenant. As of September 30, 2007 the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants under the credit facility, as amended.



Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default (as defined in the credit facility), the lender may, among other things: terminate its commitments to the borrowers (including terminating or suspending its obligation to make loans and advances); declare all outstanding loans, interest and fees to be immediately due and payable; take possession of and sell any pledged assets and other collateral; and exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. In the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower, all commitments of the lender will automatically terminate and all outstanding loans, interest and fees will be immediately due and payable. Events of default include, among other things, failure to pay any amounts when due; material misrepresentation; default in the performance of any covenant, condition or
agreement to be performed that is not cured within 20 days after notice from the lender; default in the payment of other indebtedness or other obligation with an outstanding principal balance of more than $50,0000, or of any  other term, condition or covenant contained in the agreement under which such obligation is created, the effect of which is to allow the other party to accelerate such payment or to terminate the agreements; the insolvency or bankruptcy of any borrower; the entrance of any judgment against any borrower in excess of $50,000, which is not fully covered by insurance; the occurrence of a change in control (as defined in the credit facility); certain collateral impairments; and a contribution failure with respect to any employee benefit plan that gives rise to a lien under ERISA.



The prior credit facility provided for:




        a $5,500,000 domestic revolving credit facility, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 5.25%, or 0.5% over prime. Under the revolving credit facility, the availability of funds depended on a borrowing base composed of stated percentages of our eligible trade receivables and eligible inventory, less a reserve.

Table of Contents




        a $1,000,000 domestic equipment term loan, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 5.25%, or 0.75% over the prime rate.




The revolving facility carried a commitment fee of 0.25% per year, payable on the unborrowed portion of the line. Additionally, the credit facility required an annual fee of $27,500 due on August 31, 2007, and 2008. Upon termination of the credit facility by us prior to maturity, we were required to pay a termination fee equal to 2% of the total of the maximum amount available under the revolving credit facility plus the amounts then outstanding under the term loan, equal to $110,000.



The credit facility originally included a real estate loan with an original principal balance of $1,500,000, which was associated with our Vadnais Heights manufacturing facility. In June 2006, we completed a sale-leaseback of the Vadnais Heights manufacturing facility. The transaction generated proceeds of $2,650,000, of which $1,388,000 was used to repay the associated real estate loan and the remainder to pay down our domestic revolver. The remaining gain on the sale of $963,000 is being recognized over the initial 10-year lease term as the renewal options in the lease are not assured and a penalty does not exist if we do not exercise the renewal options.



In addition to our domestic credit facilities, on August 15, 2005, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RTI Tech, PTE LTD., entered into an international senior secured credit agreement with Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Ltd. that provides for a $1.6 million line of credit. Borrowings bear interest at a rate of 6.47%. The outstanding balance was $844,000 and $1,045,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The total remaining availability on the international senior secured credit agreement was $841,000 at September 30, 2007.



We believe that funds expected to be generated from operations, the available borrowing capacity through the our revolving credit loan facilities and the control of capital spending will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operating needs through December 2008. 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 its own financial condition. While management believes that we
will meet our liquidity needs through September 2008, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so.



During 2005, the Company entered into several capital lease agreements to fund the acquisition of machinery and equipment. For 2005, the total principal amount of these leases was $314,000 with effective interest rates ranging from 6.7% to 8.0%. These agreements range from 3 to 5 years. The outstanding balance under these capital lease agreements at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 was $113,000 and $169,000, respectively. The accumulated amortization on leased equipment was $108,000 and $74,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The amortization of capital leases is included in depreciation expense for 2007 and 2006.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



As previously discussed under note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has published FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48 (FIN No. 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, to address the noncomparability in reporting tax assets and liabilities resulting from a lack of specific guidance in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, on the uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements. Specifically, FIN No. 48 prescribes (a) a consistent recognition threshold and (b) a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides related guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting interim periods,
disclosure and transition. FIN No. 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) in September 2006. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.



FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158) in September 2006. This statement requires an employer to: (1) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plans over-funded status or a liability for the plans under-funded status, (2) measure the plans assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year (with limited exceptions) and (3) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, the changes in the funded status of the plan that arise during the year but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to other relevant accounting standards. SFAS 158 also requires an employer to disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information on how delayed recognition of certain changes in
the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan affects net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year. Adoption of SFAS 158 is required for public companies by the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. Measurement of the plans assets and obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employers fiscal year is required to be adopted for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the measurement as of the end of a fiscal year to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.



FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159) in February 2007. This statement expands the use of fair value measurement by permitting entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective beginning the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on its consolidated financial statements.



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 reserves, discontinued operations, goodwill, long-lived assets and deferred taxes policies. 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 or incorporated by reference in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ITEM 3.
        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk




For information regarding the Companys exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no material changes in the Companys portfolio of financial instruments or market risk exposures which have occurred since December 31, 2006.



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, 2007 (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 Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specific time periods 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 are accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief 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, 2007, 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.
