Item 2.05.       Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. 

On December 29, 2009, IntriCon Corporation (the “Company”) decided to exit the non-core thermistor, magnetic and film capacitor business (the “electronics business”) operated by its wholly-owned subsidiary, RTI Electronics, and divest the assets used in the business as part of an orderly liquidation.  The plan, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on December 29, 2009, will begin immediately and is expected to be completed by mid-2010.  The decision to exit the electronics business was made to allow the Company to focus on its core body-worn device segment and to improve the Company’s overall margins and profitability.  In connection with its decision to divest the electronics business, the Company is evaluating the resulting asset impairment and severance charge and currently estimates the amount to approximate $1.4 million to $1.8 million. The estimated charge includes the following: (i) an impairment charge of $685,000 relating to goodwill, (ii) an impairment charge of approximately $350,000 to $650,000 relating to tangible assets, and (iii) approximately $400,000 to $475,000 in employee termination costs.  The majority of the expected charge will be recorded in the Company’s results from discontinued operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The Company estimates that approximately $400,000 to $475,000 of the estimated total costs will result in future cash expenditures.  Additional losses are possible as the Company completes the divestiture and dissolution of the electronics business.

A copy of the Company’s press release in connection with the plan is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
