                                  (Unaudited)

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments,
which were of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and changes in its cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  These condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements contained in the Company's annual financial statements and notes.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements to conform to the presentation used for the period ended
September 30, 1995.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS -- The Company made payments (in thousands) of :

INSTALLMENT RECEIVABLES --  In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan" (SFAS 114).  SFAS 114 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1994.  The Company adopted SFAS 114 effective January 1, 1995.
The new standard requires that impaired loans within the scope of SFAS 114 be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate.  The effect of adopting SFAS 114 was not
material to the Company's financial condition and had no impact on results of
operations.

The inventory determination under the LIFO method can only be made at the end
of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and cost at that point,
therefore, interim LIFO determinations are based on management's estimates of
expected year-end inventory levels and costs.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------

NET SALES
- - ---------

         Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased by 19.8% and 21.9% respectively over the same periods a year ago.
Domestic net sales increased 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1995
mainly as a result of higher unit volumes, recent acquisitions and      
favorable mix impact in prescription power wheelchairs.  Also contributing to
the quarter as a result of increased volumes was therapeutic support surfaces
and beds.  Year to date domestic sales increased 19.6% and were also favorably
impacted by prescription power wheelchairs as a result of new product
introductions, higher unit volume and acquisition impact.  Beds and respiratory
also experienced growth due to higher unit volumes.  Higher unit volumes were
offset slightly by the effects of competitive pricing environment for most of
our product lines.

         International net sales, as reported in U.S. dollars, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased by 32.4% and 28.5%,
respectively, over the same period a year ago. European sales increased 33.7%
and 29.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.
European sales, as reported in US dollars, for the three and nine months period
ended September 30, 1995 was favorably impacted as a result of the weakening
dollar against most major European currencies.  The reported increase also
includes the impact from two small acquisitions completed late in 1994 and
another acquisition completed in May 1995, which was offset to some extent by
the continuing price competition in most European markets.  Canadian sales
increased 24.5%

and 20.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively,
the impact of foreign currency fluctuation being minimal.

GROSS PROFIT
- - ------------

         Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine month
period ending September 30, 1995 increased to 33.6% and 32.6%, respectively,
compared to 32.8% and 31.7% for the same periods a year ago.  The principal
factor leading to the increase was the significantly improved volume
experienced in the majority of our product lines. Productivity and cost
containment initiatives also contributed to the improvement.  The  gross profit
improvement was offset to some extent by the effects of a continuing
competitive pricing environment and increased raw material costs.

OPERATING EXPENSES
- - ------------------

         Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales for the three and nine months ending September 30, 1995 was 21.6% and
22.3%, respectively, compared to 21.6% and 22.0% in the same periods a year
ago.  The U.S. dollar increase in selling, general and administrative expenses  
was impacted as a result of recent acquisitions and increased investment in
additional sales personnel, product specialists and marketing programs.

INTEREST
- - --------

         Interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased over the same periods a year ago mainly as a result of the growing
installment loan portfolio.  Overall, debt has remained relatively stable for
the periods ended September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.  However, increased
acquisition activity has altered the proportion of domestic versus foreign debt
which has impacted interest expense.

INCOME TAXES
- - ------------

         The Company had an effective tax rate of 38% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995, compared to 37% for the same periods a year
ago.  The higher tax rate is due in part to an increase in state taxes and
reduced low income housing credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------

         The Company's overall level of long-term obligations, excluding the
impact of foreign currency on reported debt, has remained relatively constant
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, when compared to December 31,
1994.  The Company continues to maintain an adequate liquidity position to fund
its working capital and capital requirements through its cash flow from
operations and its bank lines.  As of September 30, 1995 the Company has
approximately $157.3 million available under its lines of credit.

         In May, 1995, the Company fixed the interest rate on $10 million of
its U.S. dollar borrowings through two interest rate swap agreements.  Each
agreement is for $5 million U. S. dollars.  The effect of the swaps is to
exchange a short-term floating interest rate for a fixed rate of 6.1725% for a
three year term in one agreement and 6.38% for a five year term in the other
agreement.

         Also in May, 1995, the Company fixed the interest rate on $7.5 million
of its Canadian dollar borrowings through an interest rate swap agreement.  The
effect of the swap is to exchange a short-term floating interest rate for a
fixed rate of 7.245% for a three year term.

         The Company's financing arrangements require it to maintain certain
conditions with respect to net worth, working capital, funded debt to
capitalization and interest coverage as defined in the bank and note
agreements.  As of September 30, 1995, the Company is in compliance with all of
the conditions.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
- - --------------------

         There were no material capital expenditure commitments outstanding as
of September 30, 1995.  The Company expects to invest in capital projects at a
rate that approximates depreciation and amortization.  The Company estimates
that depreciation and amortization for 1995 will be approximately $14.0
million.  The Company believes that its balances of cash and cash equivalents,
together with funds generated from operations and existing borrowing
capabilities will be sufficient to meet its operating cash requirements and
fund required capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.

CASH FLOWS
- - ----------

         Cash flows provided by operating activities were $29.7 million for the
first nine months of 1995 compared to $19.2 million in 1994.  Increased net
earnings and improved working capital management were the principle contributors
to the increased operating cash flow.

         Cash flows required for investing activities increased  $11.9 million
for the first nine months of 1995 when compared to 1994 mainly as a result of
increased acquisition and investment activity.  Other investments increased
primarily due to the Company's investment in NeuroControl Corporation which is
developing products utilizing functional, electrical stimulation technology.

         Cash flows used for financing activities were $1.0 million for the
first nine months of 1995 compared to cash provided from financing of $.4
million in 1994.  The decrease in cash required from financing activities was a
result of reductions in long-term borrowings in our European operations offset
to some extent by borrowings utilized to support the increased acquisition
activity.

         Amounts for cash flows shown in the Statement of Cash Flows may be     
different than the changes reflected in the respective balance sheet captions
due to the impact of acquisition activity and the effects of currency
translation.

STOCK SPLIT
- - -----------

         Shareholders of record on October 2, 1995 received one additional
Common Share for each Common Share held on that date.  The additional shares
were distributed on October 16, 1995 in the form of a 100% stock dividend.

DIVIDEND POLICY
- - ---------------

         On August 21, 1995, the Board of Directors of Invacare Corporation
declared a cash dividend of $.0125 per Common Share to shareholders of record
as of October 2, 1995 to be paid on October 16, 1995.  This represents a
doubling of the dividend as a result of the two for one stock split.
