Notes toConsolidated 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, 2005March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2004,2005, and the consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 and 2004.2005. Results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicators of the results of the operations expected results for the full year.

2.Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements

New Accounting Pronouncements


We have restated our consolidated financial statements for the years 2000 through 2004 (the “Restatement”). The determination to restate these financial statements was made after errors were discovered in May, 2005. In addition, certain disclosures in other notes to our consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the Restatement adjustments. In the Restatement, we have:

Corrected the accounting for certain research and development expenditures that were erroneously capitalized on the balance sheet by recording charges to the statement of operations.
Reversed amortization expense related to the erroneously capitalized research and development expenditures.
Adjusted income tax reserves as a function of the impact on pre-tax income relating to the correction of accounting for certain research and development expenditures noted above.

Further information regarding the impact of these adjustments is provided in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R,Share-Based Compensation, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services through share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity investments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

 The Company is a defendant along with a number of other parties in approximately 122 lawsuits as of September 30,March 31, 2005 (approximately 123122 lawsuits as of December 31, 2004)2005) 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, the Company does not know whether any of the complaints state valid claims against the Company.  The lead insurance carrier has informed the Company that the primary policy for the period July 1, 1972 July 1, 1975 has been exhausted and that the lead carrier will no longer provide a defense under that policy.  The Company has requested that the lead carrier substantiate its position.  The Company has contacted representatives of the Company’s excess insurance carrier for some or all of this period.  The Company does not believe that the asserted exhaustion of the primary insurance coverage for this period will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations of the Company.  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 the Company, make the ultimate disposition of these lawsuits not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 As more fully described in Note 14,13, the Company’s wholly owned French subsidiary, Selas SAS filed insolvency in France and is being managed by a court appointed judiciary administrator. The Company may be subject to additional litigation or liabilities as a result of the French insolvency.

 The Company is also involved in other lawsuits arising in the ordinary 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 the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

13.12. 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 $368,000 for 2005, $368,000 for 2004 and $336,000 for 2003 and $330,000 for 2002.2003.

ITEM 2.Management’sDiscussion 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 Arden Hills headquarters, the Company has facilities in California, Singapore, and Germany. Within discontinued operations, the Company had facilities in Pennsylvania, Japan and Germany. See also notes 43 and 54 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Currently, the Company has one operating segment, its precision miniature medical and electronics products segment. In the past the Company had operated three segments, precision miniature medical and electronics products segment, heat technology segment, and tire holders, lifts and related products segment. In 2001, the Company began focusing on its precision miniature medical and electronics products segment and developing plans to exit the businesses that comprised the heat technology segment, and tire holders, lifts and related products segment. The Company exited the tire holders, lifts and related products business in 2003 and exited the heat technology segment on March 31, 2005. The Company classified its heat technology segment as discontinued operations in 2004.

With the completed sale of the burner and components business, the Company has successfully completed the shift from its traditional business segments to the emerging prospects in its precision miniature medical and electronic products business. To reflect the Company’s redefined focus, it changed its name to IntriCon Corporation.

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. Sales to hearing instrument manufacturers represented approximately 52%47% of net sales for the Company’s precision miniature medical and electronic products business in the first ninethree months of fiscal 2005.2006.

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 for 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 Company’s Surge-Gard TM product line, an inrush electric current limiting device used primarily in computer power supplies, represented approximately 5% of the Company’s sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2005. The balance of sales represents various industrial, commercial and military sales for thermistor and thermistor assemblies to domestic and international markets.

For the quarter ending March 31, 2006 we were in default with our Net Income and Fixed Charge Ratio covenants per our senior secured credit agreement with Diversified Business Credit, Inc. On April 18, 2006, we received a wavier letter for the two terms that were in default from Diversified Business Credit, Inc. The waiver granted was effective only in this specific instance and only for the first quarter ending March 31, 2006. This waiver shall not entitle us to any other or further waiver in any similar or other circumstances. We are currently in the process of renegotiating our bank covenants as well as increasing our borrowing capacity. Our ability to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness as it comes due will depend upon our current and future performance. Our performance is affected by general economic conditions and by financial, competitive, political, business and other factors. Many of these factors are beyond our control.

We believe that funds expected to be generated from operations, the available borrowing capacity through our revolving credit loan facilities, and the control of capital spending will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operating needs through September 30, 2006.May 2007. 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 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 will be possible when needed or that we will be able to negotiate acceptable terms. In addition, our access to capital is affected by prevailing conditions in the financial and equity capital markets, as well as our own financial condition. While management believes that we will meet our liquidity needs through May 2007, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123R,Share-Based Compensation, which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services through share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of equity investments based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a release announcing the adoption of a new rule delaying the required implementation of SFAS No. 123R. Under this new rule, SFAS No. 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The impact on net earnings as a result ofFor the first quarter ending March 31, 2006 the non-cash stock option expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R from a historical perspective, can be foundwas $44,261.

Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested on, January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2004 Annual Report. We are currently evaluatingaccordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, and will adopt itcompensation cost for all shared-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the first quarterprovisions of SFAS 123R. Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard. As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, as required.the net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2006, were $44,000 and $0.01 lower, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25.

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, except for revenue recognition which is described in the paragraphs below, 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/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.2005.

The Company’s continuing operations recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Under contractual terms shipments are generally FOB shipment point.

Customers have 30 days to notify the Company if the product is damaged or defective. Beyond that, there are no significant obligations that remain after shipping other than warranty obligations. Contracts with customers do not include product return rights, however, the Company may elect in certain circumstances to accept returns for product. The Company records revenue for product sales net of returns. Net sales also include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling, if applicable. The corresponding shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of sales.

In general, the Company warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship and will fully conform to and perform to specifications for a period of one year. While the Company’s warranty costs have historically been within its expectations, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same warranty return rates or repair costs that it has experienced in the past.

The methodology for accounting for the Company’s research and development expenses was corrected prior to the end of the quarter covered by this report and the Company initiated the policies and procedures described below:

The Company also restated its financial statements and corrected its accounting practices as further described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

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, 2005March 31, 2006 (the “Disclosure Controls Evaluation”). Based uponon 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 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 specifiedspecific time periods in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Officers of the Companycompany have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the 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).

Other than disclosed above, there were no changes in ourThe Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of the Company’s internal controlscontrol over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), to determine whether any changes occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006 that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, ourthe Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there was no such change during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

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.
