Living the Vision
2009 Annual Report
To Our Share Owners
The past twelve months have been most challenging, not only to
our Company, but to our nation and the world. Almost every industry
and market has been affected. Most households have felt the impacts
and changed their consumption and living practice.
Some of our vertical markets started
to indicate a slowing economy early
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
The economic crisis greatly accelerated
in the second quarter and by the
third and fourth quarters had become
a financial liquidity crisis that had
spread to all of our vertical markets.
The change in consumption practice
has been rapid and dramatic. We
believe the change is a permanent
downward adjustment of most of our
diversified markets, all of which are
now operating at a “new normal”
level of economic activity.
The economy has negatively
impacted our markets, but it has
failed to negatively impact our vision
and goals. Employees are inspiring
in their commitment to serve our
customers and in their persistence
to not be overcome by the incessant
negativity around them. We see
some indicators of stabilization in the
economy, but also many factors of
uncertainty and anxiety continue in
our daily business lives that warrant
deliberate caution.
Our financial results this year
reflect a company-wide commitment
to serving our customers and
perseverance in sustaining market
strategies we believe are sound and
effective. We quickly adjusted our
priorities of focus to one of cash
preservation and cost innovation,
accepting the challenge of the
requirement to maintain our balance
sheet strength and the long term
financial health of the Company.
Orders in both the Furniture and
Electronic Manufacturing Services
(EMS) segments were noticeably
impacted by the economy and lower
compared to our prior year, fiscal
year 2008.
Consolidated Net Sales for the
fiscal year were $1,207,000,000, which
was an 11 percent decrease from the
prior fiscal year 2008. Sales in the
EMS segment were down 12 percent,
primarily the result of conditions in
automotive and industrial control
markets. Successfully winning a
number of new customer awards and
additional programs from existing
customers replaced a portion of the
revenues lost or reduced in these
markets. This decline is consistent with
the overall industry reported market
statistics. Net sales in the Furniture
segment were down 10 percent,
affected by lower sales in the office
furniture market, while sales in the
hospitality market actually increased.
Gross Profit as a percent of
sales was down in both segments.
In Electronics, the reasons were
decreased leverage primarily due to
lower sales volumes; inefficiencies
in the European operations as we
consolidate into the new Poland
facility; and contractual customer
price reductions on select product. In
the Furniture segment the decrease
was primarily due to decreased
leverage due to lower sales volumes;
increased discounting on select
product; higher commodity costs and
a sales shift to lower margin product.
Partially offsetting these higher costs
in the Furniture segment were price
increases on certain select product,
labor efficiency improvements, and a
reduction in LIFO inventory reserves
resulting from lower inventory levels.
Selling and administrative costs
declined by 17% when compared to
fiscal year 2008 as we focused heavily
on permanently lowering our selling
and administrative cost structure as
a result of the economic crisis. Across
the board, we lowered salary and
wage expenses, and we also lowered
incentive compensation and employee
benefit costs which are directly
linked to Company profitability and
performance. We have lowered our
break even sales volume required in
every part of our Company.
The Company recorded income
from continuing operations for fiscal
year 2009 of $17.3 million, or $0.47
per Class B diluted share. These results
reflect numerous actions, both large
and small, taken as we refocused
our priorities and removed costs,
eliminated bureaucracy, and achieved
profitability in spite of ongoing
economic challenges.
This year we prudently reinvested
$48.3 million into select capital
investments for the future, primarily
for manufacturing equipment,
improvements to environmentally-
friendly production, construction of
the new Poland facility, other facility
improvements, plus $5.4 million for
the acquisition of Genesis Electronics
within the EMS segment. A goodwill
impairment charge triggered by
the sharp downturn in our markets
was lessened by our historically
conservative valuation approach to
acquisitions. We are pleased that
goodwill remains well under one
percent of assets.
Cash preservation and sustained
cash flow remain among our top
priorities of focus. The Company’s cash
position improved with the sale of the
hardwood timberlands and increased
emphasis on improved working
capital management. Cash flow
was improved as we implemented
a higher threshold of approval for
capital expenditures, salaried wages
were permanently reduced across the
board and the dividend was reduced.
Kimball’s balance sheet remains
strong, with virtually no long-term
debt. The Company’s net cash position
improved to $88.6 million as of the
end of June.

activity appears to be directly related
to the North American automotive
restructuring and selective energy/
green tax credits.
Furniture:
Within the Furniture market,
order volumes continued to tighten
and decline in both the office
furniture and hospitality furniture
industries. These markets tend to
lag overall economic change. The
Business and Institutional Furniture
Manufacturer Association (BIFMA
International) reported a decline for
the calendar year 2008 of 3.2% and
is projecting an approximate 27%
year-over-year decline in the office
furniture industry for calendar year
2009. The decline of contract office
furniture occurred at a more rapid
pace than the mid-market office
furniture due to the project nature of
the contract market. The hospitality
market was hit by a dramatic double-
digit decline, as both businesses and
individuals curtailed travel, reflecting
the changing pattern of consumption.
The hospitality market began to
see a decline of orders in our fiscal
year third quarter, which translated
into lower sales in our fiscal year
fourth quarter.
Our Furniture segment has
seen a lowered demand for office
furnishings, especially in the large
project-oriented furniture contract
market, but also within the mid-
market as discretionary purchases
are deferred. However, our
furniture brands continue on their
journey to strengthen themselves
organizationally, in their product
offerings, and in their performance
as recognized leaders in the office
furnishings market. Net sales of our
hospitality furniture were up for the
year, and we believe we continue
to strengthen our market position.
Customer interest was again high at
the major annual industry trade shows
for office and hospitality furnishings,
with our introductions of new product
lines that broaden appeal and support
our brands.
We continue to show ourselves
to be the Company we profess to
be, in our commitment to live our
vision and guiding principles. Despite
the general economy and less than
stellar results, we are confident and
committed to our business strategy
and to responsibly improving the
performance of the Company. We
have taken steps to do so. Whatever
challenges we face, we will conduct
ourselves ethically and professionally,
regardless of where we are in the
world. We remain committed to
continuous self improvement in
our “green” environmental actions,
our sustainability initiatives, and in
maintaining our decades-long record
of corporate social responsibility in
support of our communities.

President and Chief Executive Officer
Douglas A. Habig,
Chairman of the Board
Our team has done an extremely
good job of managing both the
customer value chain and the
supply chain in this liquidity crisis.
Our performance in critical areas of
quality, reliability and service has
remained at consistently high levels.
We have successfully avoided any
significant impacts from customers’
or suppliers’ bankruptcy, as we have
seen companies that have run out
of cash forced to take this action
with increased frequency in all of
our markets.
Electronics:
Within our EMS segment, we have
continued to be aggressive in seeking
growth and diversification and
successfully winning new contracts
and program awards from both
existing and new customers. Overall,
the global EMS industry was hard hit
by an unprecedented drop in demand
from both consumers and businesses
across markets and product types.
Within this turmoil, we have remained
competitive and committed to the
four key vertical markets of medical,
automotive, industrial controls, and
public safety. The reality of today’s
automotive market conditions is
further evidence of the foresight of
our diversification strategy. Although
the automotive and industrial controls
vertical markets continued to decline
through the year, the medical and
public safety vertical markets provided
stability and opportunities. While
small, the acquisition of Genesis
Electronics, of Tampa, supported our
growth and diversification strategy for
this segment, bringing new customers
in key target markets. As we enter
the first quarter of fiscal year 2010,
we are seeing signs of increased
optimism in the automotive and
industrial markets. The increase in
Everything we do, every action we take, has a consequence. Our impact on
employees, customers, share owners, communities and future generations is
something we take very seriously. Our corporate culture, beliefs and values are
focused on responsibility and sustainability. We call it Living the Vision.
The Environment
Living our vision of good stewardship is reflected in recognition.
One of many examples, the Commissioner of Indiana’s Department
of Environmental Management presented special flags and plaques
to our National Office Furniture manufacturing plants in Jasper and
Santa Claus, Indiana. National’s facilities earned acceptance into the
state’s Environmental Stewardship Program (ESP) for maintaining
an exemplary compliance record, implementing an approved
environmental management system, demonstrating a long-term
commitment to environmental laws, and voluntarily implementing
specific measures for continuous improvements in environmental
performance and sustainability.
We are responsible stewards…We are living the vision.
Our Communities
Community and citizenship are at the heart of Kimball. We live and work in many
different communities around the world. Each is unique and our impact on them is
extremely important to each of us, as employees, as neighbors and as ordinary citizens.
Making each of our local communities a better place to live and work is part of the
Kimball legacy. We recognize that a company provides much more than a product or
a paycheck. When an investment is made in the local quality of life, the return on that
investment is much greater than the bottom line shows.
Living the vision means responsibility and sustainability – in our local communities and
across the globe – it’s an opportunity to demonstrate by example, to live our guiding
principles and ethical values. We are living our vision of caring for our local communities,
whether it’s picking up trash along a highway in southern Indiana or along a popular
tourism mountain trail in southern China.

Innovation and Flexibility
During the year, we made significant strides improving quality and reliability. We
have demonstrated a rapid ability to adjust our priorities and have preserved our
financial strength. We have been fearless and innovative in eliminating waste,
complexity and bureaucracy.
We have adapted, adjusted and acted to move forward, beyond the current
challenges and toward the long-term goals we have set for ourselves. We are not
letting today’s challenges compromise or diminish our confidence. We are moving
forward, winning and expanding.
Our package of value is exceptional. Our plans and strategies are solid. Our financial strength is enviable. Our execution is sound.
Our vision is on building success.
Unmatched
Capabilities
By making the most of
our strengths, we have
continued to build upon
our core, adding new technology, developing new products, and improving our
package of value to our customers.
Forging new marketing partnerships, expanding our product portfolio, enhancing
our manufacturing performance, and increasing our individual brand and overall
corporate awareness, have positioned us to seize new market opportunities as
they arise.
Customers know our capabilities, employees know our dedication, communities
know our commitment, and investors know our long-term value.
We have a winning culture. We are an excellent team. We are living the vision.
A Vision for the Future
We at Kimball International believe we are tied together by a common thread, a vision
for future success built around the needs of our customers, employees and share
owners, in our local communities and around the globe. Our history and future success
is built upon this vision.
From our start as a company, we had a vision for the type of company we wanted to
be and we have continued to strive to achieve that vision. We formalized our Kimball
Guiding Principles as cultural guideposts, to effectively convey to every employee those
philosophies and behaviors that embody who we are when we are at our very best,
who we want to be now and in the future.
Living the vision means living up to our responsibilities to our business partners,
reaching our full potential and achieving the profitability that fuels our economic
freedom. With profits, we are able to make a positive impact on individual and
collective lives, on communities across the globe, and on the legacy we will leave for
future generations.
We are committed to our vision of building success for our customers, our share
owners, our employees, our communities, and our environment, now, during tough
times, and on into the future. It’s what we call Living the Vision.

Segments
Electronic Manufacturing Services
Overview
The Company entered the electronic manufacturing services market in 1985 with knowledge acquired from the
production of electronic organs, which were first produced in 1963. The Company’s current focus is on electronic
assemblies that have high durability requirements such as medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety
applications.
3
Electronics and electro-mechanical products (electronic assemblies) are sold globally on a contract basis and
produced to customers’ specifications. The Company’s engineering and manufacturing services primarily entail:
(cid:129) the insertion and attachment of microchips and other electronic capacitors and conductors in ever more
complex and smaller designs onto multi-layered circuit boards,
(cid:129) the production of wiring harnesses and other electronic equipment, assembling such into subassemblies or
final products,
(cid:129) the testing of products under a series of harsh conditions, and
(cid:129) the assembly and packaging of electronic and other related products.
Integrated throughout this segment is customer program management over the life cycle of the product along
with supply chain management, which affords customers the opportunity to focus their attention and resources to
sales, marketing, and product development as they sell their unique end products under their brand name into
various markets and industries.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired privately-held Genesis Electronics
Manufacturing of Tampa, Florida. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth and diversification strategy,
bringing new customers in the Company’s key medical and industrial controls markets.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive
electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. The Company
successfully completed the move of production from Longford, Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during the
fiscal year 2009 second quarter. As part of the plan, the Company will also consolidate its EMS facilities located in
Bridgend, Wales, and Poznan, Poland, into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve the
Company’s margins in the very competitive EMS market. Construction of the new, larger facility in Poland is
complete with limited production to begin early in the Company’s fiscal year 2010. The plan is being executed in
stages with a projected completion date of December 2011.
In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its business
model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved
a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing business environment. Within the
Company’s EMS segment, the restructuring activities included realigning engineering and technical resources closer to
the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes. The plan also included reducing corporate personnel
costs to more properly align with the overall sales mix change within the Company. This plan is complete.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company acquired Reptron Electronics, Inc. (“Reptron”), a
U.S. based electronics manufacturing services company which provided engineering services, electronics manufacturing
services, and display integration services. Reptron had four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida;
Hibbing, Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont, California. The acquisition increased the Company’s capabilities
and expertise in support of the Company’s long-term strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end
industrial sectors. With the acquisition, the Company recognized it would have excess capacity in North America.
Management developed a plan as of the acquisition date to consolidate capacity within the acquired facilities. Based on a
review of future growth potential in various geographies and input from existing customers regarding future capacity
needs, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company finalized a restructuring plan within the EMS segment
to exit the manufacturing facility located in Gaylord, Michigan. Production ceased during the second quarter of fiscal
year 2008, and the facility is currently held for sale. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved
a restructuring plan to further consolidate its EMS facilities that resulted in the exit of the manufacturing facility located
in Hibbing, Minnesota. Production at the Hibbing facility ceased in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the
Company’s lease of the Hibbing facility ended during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. A majority of the Gaylord
and Hibbing business transferred to several of the Company’s other worldwide EMS facilities.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the EMS
segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the
production for select programs was transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility
ceased in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and the facility was sold during fiscal year 2008. The
decision to exit this facility was a result of excess capacity in North America.
Late in fiscal year 2007, the Company began production in a new manufacturing facility built in Nanjing, China.
The acquisitions are discussed in further detail in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 2 — Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. Additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring activities is located in Item 7 —
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 18 —
Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sales revenue of the EMS segment is generally not affected by seasonality with the exception of the buying
patterns of automotive industry customers whose purchases of the Company’s product are generally lower in the
first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year. Fiscal year 2009 net sales to automotive industry customers approximated
one-fourth of the Company’s EMS segment net sales.
Locations
As of June 30, 2009, the Company’s EMS segment consisted of eight manufacturing facilities with one located
in each of Indiana, Florida, California, China, Mexico, Thailand, Poland, and Wales, United Kingdom. The
Company continually assesses under-utilized capacity and evaluates its operations as to the most optimum capacity
and service levels by geographic region. During fiscal year 2009, the Company’s EMS facility located in Ireland
was consolidated with the Poland facility and the Wales and Poland facilities will be consolidated into a new, larger
facility in Poland over the next two fiscal years. Operations located outside of the United States continue to be an
integral part of the Company’s EMS segment. See Item 1A — Risk Factors for information regarding financial and
operational risks related to the Company’s international operations.
Marketing Channels
Manufacturing and engineering services are marketed by the Company’s business development team. Contract
electronic assemblies are manufactured based on specific orders, generally resulting in a small amount of finished
goods consisting primarily of goods awaiting shipment to specific customers.
Major Competitive Factors
Key competitive factors in the EMS market are competitive pricing, quality and reliability, engineering design
services, production flexibility, on-time delivery, customer lead time, test capability, and global presence. Growth in
the EMS industry is created through the proliferation of electronic components in today’s advanced products along
with the continuing trend of original equipment manufacturers in the electronics industry to subcontract the
assembly process to companies with a core competence in this area. The nature of the EMS industry is such that the
start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and
program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program
matures and becomes established. The segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall
excess capacity position in the EMS industry and more specifically this segment’s new program launches and
diversification efforts. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring
customers/programs with new customers/programs.
The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions
affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the EMS segment other than fluctuating
inventory levels which may increase in conjunction with transfers of production among facilities.
Competitors
The EMS industry is very competitive as numerous manufacturers compete for business from existing and
potential customers. The Company’s competition includes EMS companies such as Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil
Circuit, Inc., and Plexus Corp. The Company does not have a significant share of the EMS market and was ranked the
16th largest EMS provider for calendar year 2008 by Manufacturing Market Insider in the March 2009 edition.
Raw Material Availability
Raw materials utilized in the manufacture of contract electronic products are generally readily available from
both domestic and foreign sources, although from time to time the industry experiences shortages of certain
components due to supply and demand forces, combined with rapid product life cycles of certain components. Raw
materials are normally acquired for specific customer orders and may or may not be interchangeable among
products. Inherent risks associated with rapid technological changes within this contract industry are mitigated by
procuring raw materials, for the most part, based on firm orders. The Company may also purchase additional
inventory to support transfers of production between manufacturing facilities.

Customer Concentration
While the total electronic assemblies market has broad applications, the Company’s customers are concen-
trated in the medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety industries. Included in this segment are a
significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the following portions of consolidated net
sales and EMS segment net sales:

The increased percentages of sales to Bayer AG in fiscal year 2009 as compared to fiscal year 2008 are
attributable to the Company’s lower net sales to other customers during fiscal year 2009. The fiscal year 2008
reduction in sales to Bayer AG as compared to fiscal year 2007 is related to two factors. First, in January 2007,
Bayer AG sold its diagnostics unit to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company’s net sales which were
formerly to Bayer AG affiliates in fiscal year 2007 are now to Siemens AG. Second, net sales to Bayer AG affiliates
were impacted as a result of the Company’s selling price reduction effective January 2007 to Bayer AG affiliates
which was offset by an equal reduction in the cost of raw materials purchased from Bayer AG affiliates. The
Company also continues to focus on diversification of the EMS segment customer base.

Furniture
Overview
Since 1950, the Company has produced wood furniture and cabinets. During fiscal year 2007, the Company ceased
manufacturing contract private label products as it increased focus on core markets. These core markets include office
furniture sold under the Kimball Office and National Office Furniture brand names and hospitality furniture sold under
the Kimball Hospitality brand name. Kimball Office and National Office Furniture provide office furniture solutions for
private offices, open floor plan areas, conference rooms, training rooms, lobby, and lounge areas with a vast mix of wood,
metal, laminate, paint, and fabric options. Products include desks, credenzas, seating, tables, systems/dividers, filing and
storage units, and accessories such as audio visual boards and task lighting. Kimball Office products tend to focus on the
more complex customer solutions, and National Office Furniture products are geared more to the mid-market/less
complex/lower cost aspect of the office furniture market. Kimball Hospitality provides furniture solutions for hotel
properties, condominiums, and mixed use developments. Products include headboards, desks, tables, dressers, enter-
tainment centers, chests, wall panels, upholstered seating, task seating, and vanities. Also included in this segment are the
Company’s trucking fleet and customer fulfillment centers, which handle primarily product of this segment; but certain
logistics services, such as backhauls, are sold on a contract basis.
Sales revenue of the Furniture segment is generally not affected by seasonality with the exception of certain
product lines which are impacted by the buying patterns of customers such as the U.S. Federal Government whose
purchases of the Company’s product are generally higher in the first half of the Company’s fiscal year.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate production of
select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation reduced manufacturing costs and excess capacity
by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and employee costs. The consolidation of these man-
ufacturing departments resulted in more efficient use of manufacturing space and enabled the Company to sell one of its
Indiana facilities. The consolidation was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2009.
As discussed in the EMS segment above, the Furniture segment part of the workforce reduction restructuring
activities announced in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, included realigning information technology and
procurement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes to drive further
synergies afforded by the alignment of the sales and manufacturing functions within this segment. Related
expenditures were primarily for employee severance and transition costs, and this plan is complete.
In conjunction with the cessation of manufacturing contract private label products, during fiscal year 2007 the
Company approved a plan to exit the production of wood rear projection television (“PTV”) cabinets and stands
within the Furniture segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company’s Juarez, Mexico, operation. For some
time, the market demand for wood rear PTV cabinets had been declining due to the market shift to plasma and LCD
large-screen televisions. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, financial results associated with the
Mexican operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations beginning in the quarter
ended December 31, 2006, and all prior periods were restated. The discontinued operations are discussed in further
detail in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in
Note 19 — Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
6
As part of the Company’s plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture segment,
the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of
administrative, marketing, and business development functions to better serve the segment’s primary markets.
Expenses related to this plan included software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance, and
other consolidation costs. This plan was complete as of June 30, 2008.
Additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring activities is located in Item 7 — Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 18 — Restructuring Expense
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Locations
The Company’s furniture products as of June 30, 2009 were primarily produced at ten plants: seven located in
Indiana, two in Kentucky, and one in Idaho. In addition, select finished goods are purchased from external sources.
The Company continually assesses manufacturing capacity and has adjusted such capacity in recent years. During
fiscal year 2009, the Company sold a plant located in Indiana as manufacturing departments were consolidated.
In addition, a facility in Indiana houses an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and
development center, and a product showroom. Office furniture showrooms are maintained in nine additional cities
in the United States. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China, to facilitate sourcing of product from
the Asia Pacific Region.
Marketing Channels
Kimball Office and National brands of office furniture are marketed through Company salespersons to end
users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and catalog houses throughout North America and on
an international basis. Hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturers’
representatives.
Major Competitive Factors
The Company’s furniture is sold in the office furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries
have similar major competitive factors which include price in relation to quality and appearance, the utility of the
product, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-
standard products. The Company offers payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances
may allow alternate payment terms.
Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. The
Company maintains sufficient finished goods inventories to be able to offer prompt shipment of certain lines of
Kimball Office and National office furniture as well as most of the Company’s own lines of hospitality furniture. The
Company also produces contract hospitality furniture to customers’ specifications and shipping timelines. Many office
furniture products are shipped through the Company’s delivery system, which the Company believes offers it the
ability to reduce damage to product, enhance scheduling flexibility, and improve the capability for on-time deliveries.
The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions
affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the Company’s business. The Company does
receive advance payments on select furniture projects primarily in the hospitality industry.
Competitors
There are numerous manufacturers of office and hospitality furniture competing within the marketplace, with a
significant number of competitors offering similar products. The Company believes, however, that there are a
limited number of relatively large manufacturers of wood office furniture. In many instances wood office furniture
competes in the market with nonwood office furniture. Based on available industry statistics, nonwood office
furniture has a larger share of the total office furniture market.
The Company’s competition includes office furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase, Inc., Herman Miller,
Inc., Knoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc., and HNI Corporation and hospitality furniture manufacturers such as American of
Martinsville, Fleetwood Fine Furniture, Inc., Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc., and Fairmont Designs.
7
Raw Material Availability
Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally within the segment and are
generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood furniture. With the exception
of rolled steel, raw materials used in the manufacture of metal office furniture have been readily available in the
global market. While the Company has been able to maintain an appropriate supply of rolled steel to meet demand,
general supply limitations in the market are impacting costs. Certain fabricated seating components and wood
frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a
global scale in an effort to provide a quality product at the lowest total cost.
Other Information
Backlog
At June 30, 2009, the aggregate sales price of production pursuant to worldwide open orders, which may be

Environment and Energy Matters
The Company’s operations are subject to various foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations with
respect to environmental matters. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with present laws and
regulations and that there are no material liabilities related to such items.
The Company is dedicated to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in matters of protecting the environment
and communities in which the Company has operations. Reinforcing the Company’s commitment to the envi-
ronment, seven of the Company’s showrooms and two non-manufacturing locations have been designed under the
guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for
Commercial Interiors program. The Company believes that continued compliance with foreign, federal, state, and
local laws and regulations which have been enacted relating to the protection of the environment will not have a
material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. Management believes capital
expenditures for environmental control equipment during the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2011, will not
represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.
The Company’s manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil.
Federal and state statutes and regulations control the allocation of fuels available to the Company, but to date the
Company has experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In its wood processing plants, a
portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of the Company’s own wood waste products.

Item 1A — Risk Factors
The following important risk factors, among others, could affect future results and events, causing results and
events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and
presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors, among others, may have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered.
It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, any such list should not be considered to be a
complete statement of all the Company’s potential risks or uncertainties. Because of these and other factors, past
performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.
Unfavorable macroeconomic and industry conditions could adversely impact demand for the
Company’s products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for the Company’s products,
which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:
(cid:129) general corporate profitability of the Company’s end markets;
(cid:129) credit availability to the Company’s end markets;
(cid:129) profitability of financial institutions to whom the Company sells office furniture which are being impacted
by the credit market issues;
(cid:129) new office construction and refurbishment rates;
(cid:129) new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates;
(cid:129) automotive industry fluctuations, specifically variation in the performance and market share of U.S. based
auto manufacturers;
(cid:129) changes in the medical device industry;
(cid:129) demand for end-user products which include electronic assembly components produced by the Company;
(cid:129) excess capacity in the industries in which the Company competes; and
(cid:129) changes in customer order patterns, including changes in product quantities, delays in orders, or cancellation
of orders.
The Company must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve efficiency in manufacturing
capacities. These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules,
component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. The
Company must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify its strategic direction based
upon the changing business environment. If the Company does not react quickly enough to the changes in market or
economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.
The current recession has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating
results. The Company’s key strategies remain intact, but its priorities have changed as customers and suppliers face
volatility in the marketplace. The Company must continue to adjust operations as needed to appropriately stay
focused on its priorities and to align with the changing market conditions. The Company cannot predict the timing
or the duration of this or any other downturn in the economy or the related effect on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
The Company is exposed to the credit risk of its customers. The current economic conditions and the
tightening of the credit markets have increased the risk of potential bankruptcy of customers and potential losses
from accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company heightened its monitoring of receivables and related credit
risks. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete
successfully. The EMS industry is very competitive as numerous manufacturers compete globally for business
from existing and potential customers. The office and hospitality furniture industries are also competitive due to
numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. As the demand for products in the Furniture industry
contracts as a result of the current economic conditions, large competitors may apply more pressure to their aligned
distribution to sell their products exclusively which could lead to reduced opportunities for the Company’s products.
The high level of competition in these industries impacts the Company’s ability to implement price increases or, in
some cases, even maintain prices, which could lower profit margins.
The Company faces pricing pressures that could adversely affect the Company’s financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows. The Company faces pricing pressures in both of its segments, especially the
EMS segment, as a result of intense competition from large EMS providers, emerging products, and overcapacity.
While the Company works toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if the Company cannot achieve the
proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer. As end markets dictate, the Company is continually
assessing excess capacity and developing plans to better utilize manufacturing operations, including consolidating
and shifting manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary.
10
Reduction of purchases by or the loss of one or more key customers could reduce revenues and
profitability. Losses of key contract customers within specific industries or significant volume reductions from key
contract customers are both risks. If a current customer of the Company merges with or is acquired by a party that
currently is aligned with a competitor, the Company could lose future revenues. In addition, continuing success of
the Company is dependent upon replacing expiring contract customers/programs with new customers/programs.
Sales to Bayer AG affiliates accounted for 12%, 11%, and 15% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2009, 2008,
and 2007, respectively. Significant declines in the level of purchases by this customer within the EMS segment or
other key customers in either of the Company’s segments, or the loss of a significant number of customers, could
have a material adverse effect on business. In addition, the nature of the contract electronics manufacturing industry
is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently, and
new customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program.
The Company’s future operating results depend on the ability to purchase a sufficient amount of
materials, parts, and components at competitive prices. The Company depends on suppliers globally to provide
timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in the Company’s products. The financial stability of
suppliers is monitored by the Company when feasible as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse
impact on the Company’s operations. In addition, maintaining strong relationships with key suppliers of compo-
nents critical to the manufacturing process is essential. The Company also purchases select finished goods. If
suppliers fail to meet commitments to the Company in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt the
Company’s operations and negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet commitments to customers.
The Company could be adversely affected by increased commodity costs or availability of raw materi-
als. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on profitability if the Company cannot
offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. In recent years, the Company has
experienced increases in the prices of key commodities used in Furniture segment products, such as steel, seating
components, and wood composite sheet stock. Raw materials utilized by the Company are generally available, but future
availability is unknown and could impact the Company’s ability to meet customer order requirements.
The Company’s operating results are impacted by the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of
energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the
cost of energy could reduce profitability of the Company.
The Company could be impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies at certain locations. At times the
Company may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product
introductions, transfers of production among the Company’s manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales,
a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
A change in the Company’s sales mix among various products could have a negative impact on the gross
profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact the gross margin of the Company as margins
of different products vary. The Company strives to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have
lower margins in order to price the product competitively or in connection with the start-up of a new program. An
increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company’s restructuring efforts may not be successful. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008,
the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a
European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. As part of the plan, the Company successfully completed
the move of production from Longford, Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during fiscal year 2009. The
Company also plans to consolidate its current EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom; and Poznan,
Poland; into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve margins in the very competitive EMS
market. Construction of the new, larger facility in Poland is complete with limited production to begin early in the
Company’s fiscal year 2010. The plan includes the future sale of the existing Poland building. The Company
continually evaluates its manufacturing capabilities and capacities in relation to current and anticipated market
conditions. The successful execution of restructuring initiatives is dependent on several factors and may not be
accomplished as quickly or effectively as anticipated.
11
Acquisitions by their nature may present risks to the Company. The Company’s sales growth plans may
occur through both organic growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions involve many risks, including:
(cid:129) difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and in negotiating and consummating acquisitions
on terms attractive to the Company;
(cid:129) difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired company;
(cid:129) the diversion of resources, including diverting management’s attention from current operations;
(cid:129) risks of entering new geographic or product markets in which the Company has limited or no direct prior
experience;
(cid:129) the potential loss of key customers of the acquired company;
(cid:129) the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company;
(cid:129) the potential incurrence of indebtedness to fund the acquisition;
(cid:129) the potential issuance of common stock for some or all of the purchase price, which could dilute ownership
interests of the Company’s current shareholders;
(cid:129) the acquired business not achieving anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flow, or market share;
(cid:129) excess capacity;
(cid:129) the assumption of undisclosed liabilities; and
(cid:129) dilution of earnings.
Start-up operations could present risks to the Company’s current operations. The Company is committed
to growing its business, and therefore from time to time, the Company may determine that it would be in its best
interests to start up a new operation. Start-up operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, such as funding
the capital expenditures related to the start-up operation, developing a management team for the new operation,
diversion of management focus away from current operations, and creation of excess capacity. Any of these risks
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company’s international operations involve financial and operational risks. The Company has
operations outside the United States, primarily in China, Thailand, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. The
Company’s international operations are subject to a number of risks, which may include the following:
(cid:129) economic and political instability;
(cid:129) changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;
(cid:129) tariffs and other trade barriers;
(cid:129) potentially adverse tax consequences; and
(cid:129) foreign labor practices.
These risks could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact the Company’s operating results. The Company’s risk
management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures.
Any hedging techniques the Company implements contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate
fluctuations could also make the Company’s products more expensive than competitor’s products not subject to these
fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and profitability in international markets.
If the Company’s efforts to introduce new products are not successful, this could limit sales growth or
cause sales to decline. The EMS segment depends on industries that utilize technologically advanced electronic
components which often have short life cycles. The Company must continue to invest in advanced equipment and
product development to remain competitive in this area. The Furniture segment regularly introduces new products to
keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health,
safety standards such as ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product
performance. The introduction of new products requires the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing
of such products. The design and engineering of certain new products can take nine to eighteen months or more, and
further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product may
be delayed or be less successful than originally anticipated by the Company. Difficulties or delays in introducing new
products or lack of customer acceptance of new products could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline.
12
If customers do not perceive the Company’s products to be innovative and of high quality, the Company’s
brand and name recognition could suffer. The Company believes that establishing and maintaining brand and name
recognition is critical to business. Promotion and enhancement of the Company’s brands will depend on the effectiveness
of marketing and advertising efforts and on successfully providing innovative and high quality products and superior
services. If customers do not perceive its products and services to be innovative and of high quality, the Company’s brand
and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
A loss of independent manufacturing representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a
decline in sales of the Company’s Furniture segment products. The Company’s office furniture is marketed
primarily through Company salespersons to end users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and
catalog houses. The Company’s hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturing
representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an
adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company must effectively manage working capital. The Company has historically had positive operating
cash flows, but effective management of working capital is key to continuing that trend. The Company closely monitors
inventory and receivable efficiencies and continuously strives to improve these measures of working capital, but
customer financial difficulties, cancellation or delay of customer orders, transfers of production among the Company’s
manufacturing facilities, or Company manufacturing delays could cause deteriorating working capital trends.
The Company’s assets could become impaired. As business conditions change, the Company must
continually evaluate and work toward the optimum asset base. It is possible that certain assets such as, but not
limited to, facilities, equipment, intangible assets, or goodwill could be impaired at some point in the future
depending on changing business conditions. If assets of the Company become impaired the result could be an
adverse impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in the prep-
aration of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(U.S. GAAP). Any changes in estimates, judgments, and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company’s financial statements filed
with the SEC are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the preparation of such financial statements includes
making estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and related reserves,
revenues, expenses, and income. Estimates are inherently subject to change in the future, and such changes could
result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets, liabilities, income, or expenses and likewise could have an
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate could have a significant impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The mix of pre-tax income or loss among the tax
jurisdictions in which the Company operates that have varying tax rates could impact the Company’s effective tax
rate. The Company is subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the United States and
various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other
tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management’s assessment. The Company operates
within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve
complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The Company has also made assumptions
about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for
these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by the
Company’s income tax provisions and accruals. In addition, President Obama’s administration has announced
proposals for a new U.S. tax legislation that, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company’s tax rate.
A failure to comply with the debt covenants under the Company’s $100 million credit facility could
adversely impact the Company. The Company’s credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain debt
covenants and other terms and conditions. The Company believes the most significant covenants under its credit
facility are minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio. More detail on these debt covenants is discussed in
Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As of June 30,
2009, the Company was in a positive net cash position of $88.6 million, defined as cash, cash equivalents, and short-
term investments less short-term borrowings under credit facilities. Therefore, in the event of a default on any of the
debt covenants under the credit facility, the Company, as of June 30, 2009, would have had sufficient cash to pay off
the outstanding borrowings. In the future, a default on the debt covenants under the Company’s credit facility could
cause an increase in the borrowing rates or could make it more difficult for the Company to secure future financing
which could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
13
A failure to successfully implement information technology solutions could adversely affect the Com-
pany. The Company’s business depends on effective information technology systems. Information systems require an
ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain and enhance existing systems and develop new systems in
order to keep pace with changes in information processing technology and evolving industry standards. Implementation
delays or poor execution of information technology systems could disrupt the Company’s operations and increase costs.
An inability to protect the Company’s intellectual property could have a significant impact on business. The
Company attempts to protect its intellectual property rights, both in the United States and in foreign countries, through a
combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party
nondisclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, the
Company’s intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they
do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world, the Company has limited protections, if any, for its
intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of the
Company’s intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by the claims of the various patents and trademarks
may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and
patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of the Company’s
products are covered by patents. It is also possible that the Company’s patents and trademarks may be challenged,
invalidated, cancelled, narrowed, or circumvented.
A third party could claim that the Company has infringed on their intellectual property rights. The
Company could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights which could lead to the Company
spending time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in
substantial costs and diversion of resources.
The Company’s insurance may not adequately protect the Company from liabilities related to product
defects. The Company maintains product liability and other insurance coverage that the Company believes to be
generally in accordance with industry practices. However, its insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the
Company fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects,
particularly if the Company has a large number of defective products or if the root cause is disputed.
The Company’s failure to maintain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registration of one or more of
its registered manufacturing facilities could negatively impact the Company’s ability to produce products for
customers in the medical industry. The Company is diversifying the EMS segment which includes increasing
sales to customers in the regulated medical industry. To maintain FDA registration, the Company is subject to FDA
audits of the manufacturing process. FDA audit failure could result in a partial or total suspension of production,
fines, or criminal prosecution. Failure or noncompliance could have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation
in addition to an adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental
liabilities. The past and present operation and ownership by the Company of manufacturing plants and real property
are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations,
including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste,
and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. The Company cannot
predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or
regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist. Compliance
with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional
expenditures by the Company, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial
efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.
The Company’s failure to retain the existing management team; maintain its engineering, technical, and
manufacturing process expertise; and continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the
Company’s business. The success of the Company is dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements
and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities which meet customers’ changing needs. In addition, the
Company must retain its qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to
technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. The Company’s culture and guiding principles focus
on continuous training, motivating, and development of employees, and it strives to attract, motivate, and retain
qualified personnel. Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company’s business.
14
Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in
certain geographic areas makes it difficult to retain experienced production employees. Turnover could result in
additional training and inefficiencies that could impact the Company’s operating results.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact the Company’s production schedules and, in turn,
negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist
attacks, power interruptions, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise the ability to produce or deliver the
Company’s products. The Company’s manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural
gas and oil, and governmental regulations control the allocation of such fuels to the Company. Employees are an integral
part of the Company’s business and events such as a pandemic could reduce the availability of employees reporting for
work. In the event the Company experiences a temporary or permanent interruption in its ability to produce or deliver
product, revenues could be reduced, and business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, catastrophic events,
or the threat thereof, can adversely affect U.S. and world economies, and could result in delayed or lost sales of the
Company’s products. In addition, any continuing disruption in the Company’s computer system could adversely affect
the ability to receive and process customer orders, manufacture products, and ship products on a timely basis, and could
adversely affect relations with customers, potentially resulting in reduction in orders from customers or loss of
customers. The Company maintains insurance to help protect the Company from costs relating to some of these matters,
but such may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to the Company in the event of such an interruption.
The requirements of being a public company may strain the Company’s resources and distract
management. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Among other requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the Company
maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company
has, and expects to continue to, expend significant management time and resources maintaining documentation and
testing internal control over financial reporting. While management’s evaluation as of June 30, 2009 resulted in the
conclusion that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of that date, the Company
cannot predict the outcome of testing in future periods. If the Company concludes in future periods that its internal
control over financial reporting is not effective, or if its independent registered public accounting firm is not able to
render the required attestations, it could result in lost investor confidence in the accuracy, reliability, and
completeness of the Company’s financial reports.
Changes in government regulation may significantly increase the Company’s operating costs in the
United States. The federal government has a broad agenda of potential legislative and regulatory reforms, which if
enacted, could significantly impact the profitability of the Company by burdening it with forced cost choices that
cannot be recovered by increased pricing. These reforms include:
(cid:129) healthcare reform;
(cid:129) increased union organization under the Employee Free Choice Act; and
(cid:129) increased energy in manufacturing costs resulting from Cap and Trade legislation.
The value of the Company’s common stock may experience substantial fluctuations for reasons over
which the Company has little control. The value of common stock could fluctuate substantially based on a variety
of factors, including, among others:
(cid:129) actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;
(cid:129) announcements concerning the Company, competitors, or industry;
(cid:129) overall volatility of the stock market;
(cid:129) changes in the financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding the Company, the industry, or
competitors; and
(cid:129) general market or economic conditions.
Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their
operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in results of operations and general economic, political,
and market conditions, may adversely affect the value of the Company’s common stock.

Within the EMS segment, the Company exited the Ireland facility during fiscal year 2009 and plans to exit the
United Kingdom facility in fiscal year 2011 as part of the Company’s plan to consolidate these facilities and the
current Poland facility into a new, larger facility in Poland. Construction of the new, larger facility in Poland is
complete with limited production to begin early in the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and thus is not included in the
tables above as of June 30, 2009. The Ireland facility lease expired during fiscal year 2009. The Company continues
to market the existing Poland facility and real estate.
During fiscal year 2009 within the Furniture segment, the Company sold a plant located in Indiana as
manufacturing departments were consolidated. A leased Furniture segment research and development facility in
California was exited during fiscal year 2009. A facility that houses a training and education center, a research and
development center, and a product showroom was previously reported as Unallocated Corporate but is now included
in the Furniture segment column above as one facility.
Included in Unallocated Corporate are executive, national sales and administrative offices, and a recycling
facility.
16
Generally, properties are utilized at normal capacity levels on a multiple shift basis. At times, certain facilities
utilize a reduced second or third shift. Due to sales fluctuations, not all facilities were utilized at normal capacity
during fiscal year 2009.
Significant loss of income resulting from a facility catastrophe would be partially offset by business
interruption insurance coverage.
Operating leases for all facilities and related land, including nine leased showroom facilities which are not
included in the tables above, total 239,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2010 to 2056 with many of the
leases subject to renewal options. The leased showroom facilities are in six states and the District of Columbia. (See
Note 5 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information concerning leases.)
The Company owns approximately 500 acres of land which includes land where various Company facilities
reside, including approximately 180 acres of land in the Kimball Industrial Park, Jasper, Indiana (a site for certain
production and other facilities, and for possible future expansions). During fiscal year 2009, the Company sold
approximately 27,300 acres of undeveloped land holdings and timberlands to allow that capital to be reinvested in
the Company’s EMS and Furniture segments.

Performance Graph
The following performance graph is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or
subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically
incorporates it by reference into such a filing.
The graph below compares the cumulative total return to Share Owners of the Company’s Class B Common
Stock from June 30, 2004, through June 30, 2009, the last business day in the respective fiscal years, to the
cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. and Foreign) and a peer group index for the same period
of time. Due to the diversity of its operations, the Company is not aware of any public companies that are directly
comparable to it. Therefore, the peer group index is comprised of publicly traded companies in both of the
Company’s segments, as follows:
EMS Segment: Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., Plexus Corp.
Furniture Segment: HNI Corp., Knoll Inc., Steelcase, Inc., Herman Miller, Inc.
In order to reflect the segment allocation of Kimball International, Inc., a market capitalization-weighted index
was first computed for each segment group, then a composite peer group index was calculated based on each
segment’s proportion of net sales to total consolidated sales for each fiscal year. The public companies included in
the peer group have a larger revenue base than each of the Company’s business segments.
The graph assumes $100 is invested in the Company’s stock and each of the two indexes at the closing market
quotations on June 30, 2004 and that dividends are reinvested. The performances shown on the graph are not
necessarily indicative of future price performance.

Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Overview
Kimball International, Inc. provides a variety of products from its two business segments: the Electronic
Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment and the Furniture segment. The EMS segment provides engineering and
manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities globally to the medical,
automotive, industrial control, and public safety industries. The Furniture segment provides furniture for the
office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company’s family of brand names.
21
Both of the Company’s segments have been adversely impacted by the weakening in the global economy.
During fiscal year 2009, most of the markets in which the Company competes were affected by the global recession
and liquidity crisis. The Company experienced declining sales and order trends beginning in its second fiscal
quarter. Open orders at June 30, 2009 were 37% lower in the Furniture segment and 6% lower in the EMS segment
when compared to the levels at the end of the Company’s second fiscal quarter.
The EMS industry sales projections for calendar year 2009 (by IDC, iSuppli, and Electronic Trend Publications)
show declines in the range of 7% to 13%. Semiconductor sales, though, are expected to decline approximately 20% in
calendar year 2009, and although the Company does not directly serve this market, it may indicate a decline in end
market demand for products utilizing electronic components. Generally, as electronics end markets decline, EMS
industry sales improve as customers outsource a greater portion of their electronics manufacturing to free up capital for
design and marketing programs and to gain cost advantages. However, customers could elect to insource a greater
portion of their electronics manufacturing during this economic downturn.
The Company continues its strategy of diversification within the EMS segment customer base as it currently
focuses on the four key vertical markets of medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety. Demand in the
automotive market and medical market began to stabilize during the Company’s fiscal year 2009 fourth quarter, but
the markets remain uncertain. The industrial control vertical market is showing signs of stabilization in certain
areas, and the public safety vertical market is sending signals of strength. Sales to customers in the medical industry
are the largest portion of the Company’s EMS segment with sales to customers in the automotive industry being the
second largest. The Company’s sales to customers in the automotive industry are diversified among more than ten
domestic and foreign customers and represented approximately 27% of the EMS segment’s net sales for fiscal year
2009. The amount of sales of electronic components that relate to General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler automobiles
sold in North America were approximately 8% of the Company’s EMS segment net sales during fiscal year 2009.
The Company expects the furniture market to continue to decline or at best flatten out. The Business and
Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (BIFMA International) is projecting an approximate 27%
year-over-year decline in the office furniture industry for calendar year 2009. While the Company expects its
mid-market brand to fare better than its contract office furniture brand due to the project nature of the contract
market, it cannot predict future overall office furniture order trends at this time due to the short lead time of orders
and the volatility in the global economy. The Company expects order rates for hospitality furniture to decline further
in the near term as hotel occupancy rates and per room revenue rates are declining.
Competitive pricing pressures within the EMS segment and on many projects within the Furniture segment
continue to put pressure on the Company’s operating margins.
The current economic conditions and the tightening of the credit markets have also increased the risk of
uncollectible accounts and notes receivables. Accordingly, the Company heightened its monitoring of receivables
and related credit risks, and the Company believes its accounts and notes receivables allowance for uncollectible
accounts is adequate as of June 30, 2009. Given the current market conditions and limited credit availability, the
economy could decline further potentially requiring the Company to record additional allowances.
The Company is continually assessing its strategies in relation to the significant macroeconomic challenges including
the instability in the financial markets, credit availability, and demand for products. A long-standing component of the
Company’s profit sharing incentive bonus plan and annual retirement contribution is that they are both linked to the
performance of the Company which automatically lowers total compensation expense when profits are down. The
Company has also implemented various initiatives in response to the deteriorating market conditions including reducing
operating costs, more closely scrutinizing customer and supply chain risk, and deferring and cancelling capital expen-
ditures that are not immediately required to support customer requirements. Examples of actions taken during fiscal year
2009 to reduce operating costs include a salary reduction plan announced in February 2009, which is expected to save
$3 million in labor costs annually, permanent workforce reductions, and temporary personnel layoffs. In addition, to
preserve cash, the dividends declared during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009 were reduced approximately
70% from the quarterly dividend rates paid in the first half of the fiscal year which translates to approximately $4 million
less cash outflow each time dividends are paid. The Company will continue to closely monitor market changes and its
liquidity in order to proactively adjust its operating costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed.
The Company continues to have a strong balance sheet which includes a minimal amount of long-term debt of
$0.4 million and Share Owners’ equity of $382.4 million. The Company’s short-term liquidity available, repre-
sented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of the Company’s revolving
credit facility was $183.7 million at June 30, 2009.
22
In addition to the above risks related to the current economic conditions, management currently considers the
following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding the Company’s financial condition
and operating performance:
(cid:129) Although the Company has seen recent moderate declines in the cost of some commodities and in fuel
prices, these continue to be areas of focus within the Company.
(cid:129) Globalization continues to reshape not only the industries in which the Company operates but also its key
customers and competitors.
(cid:129) The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new programs to
replace departing customers or expiring programs occurs frequently. The success of the Company’s EMS
segment is dependent on the successful replacement of such customers or programs. Such changes usually
occur gradually over time as old programs phase out of production while newer programs ramp up. While the
margins vary depending on the size of the program and the vertical market being served, replacement
programs often carry lower margins.
(cid:129) Successful execution of the Company’s restructuring plans is critical to the Company’s future performance.
The success of the restructuring initiatives is dependent on accomplishing the plans in a timely and effective
manner. A critical component of the restructuring initiatives is the transfer of production among facilities
which contributed to some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital. The Company’s
restructuring plans are discussed in the segment discussions below.
(cid:129) The increasingly competitive marketplace mandates that the Company continually re-evaluate its business models.
(cid:129) The Company’s employees throughout its business operations are an integral part of the Company’s ability to
compete successfully, and the stability of its management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value. The
Company’s career development and succession planning process helps to maintain stability in management.
(cid:129) As end markets dictate, the Company is continually assessing under-utilized capacity and developing plans
to grow the Company’s customer base and better utilize manufacturing operations, including shifting
manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary.
(cid:129) During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate
production of select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation is substantially
complete and has reduced manufacturing costs and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property
and equipment, processes, and employee costs.
(cid:129) During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European
automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan,
Poland. The Company presently has an operation in Poznan. The Company successfully completed the
move of production from Longford, Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during the second quarter of
fiscal year 2009. As part of the plan, the Company will also consolidate its EMS facilities located in
Bridgend, Wales, and Poznan into a new, larger facility in Poznan.
(cid:129) In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its
business model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the
Company approved a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing
business environment. Within the Company’s EMS segment, the restructuring activities included realigning
engineering and technical resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales
processes. The Furniture segment part of the workforce reduction restructuring activities included realigning
information technology and procurement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative
and sales processes to drive further synergies afforded by the alignment of the sales and manufacturing
functions within this segment. The plan also included reducing corporate personnel costs to more properly
align with the overall sales mix change within the Company. This plan is complete.
(cid:129) In fiscal year 2008, the Company completed the consolidation of U.S. manufacturing facilities within the
EMS segment due to excess capacity resulting in the exit of two facilities that were part of the 2007
acquisition of Reptron Electronics, Inc. (“Reptron”).
(cid:129) To support diversification efforts, the Company has focused on both organic growth and acquisition
activities. Acquisitions allow rapid diversification of both customers and industries served.
(cid:129) The regulatory and business environment for U.S. public companies requires that the Company continually
evaluate and enhance its practices in the areas of corporate governance and management practices. The
Company has taken a number of steps to conform its corporate governance to evolving national and industry-
wide best practices among U.S. public companies, not only to comply with new legal requirements, but also
to enhance the decision-making process of the Board of Directors.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, a
significant change in economic conditions, loss of key customers or suppliers, or similar unforeseen events.
Fiscal Year 2009 Results of Operations
The following discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income
statement activity of the prior years’ discontinued operations.
Financial Overview — Consolidated
Fiscal year 2009 consolidated net sales were $1.21 billion compared to fiscal year 2008 net sales of $1.35 billion, an
11% decrease, due to decreased net sales in both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment. The Company recorded
income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2009 of $17.3 million, or $0.47 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of
after-tax restructuring charges of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per Class B diluted share. The fiscal year 2009 restructuring
charges were primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal year 2009 results also included the
following non-recurring items: an $18.9 million after-tax gain, or $0.51 per Class B diluted share, related to the sale of the
Company’s undeveloped land holdings and timberlands; a $9.1 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge,
or $0.24 per Class B diluted share; and $1.6 million of after-tax income, or $0.04 per Class B diluted share, for earnest
money deposits retained by the Company resulting from the termination of the contract to sell the Company’s Poland
building and real estate. The Company recorded income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 of $0.1 million,
or less than $0.01 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $14.6 million, or $0.39 per
Class B diluted share. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring charges were primarily related to the European consolidation
plan, a workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales in fiscal year 2009 was 16.8% compared to 18.4% in fiscal
year 2008. Both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment contributed to the decline as discussed in more detail
in the segment discussions below.
Fiscal year 2009 consolidated selling and administrative expenses declined as a percent of net sales and also
declined in absolute dollars by 17% as compared to fiscal year 2008. The improved selling and administrative expenses
were primarily related to benefits realized as a result of the previously announced restructurings; lower salary and wage
expense; lower incentive compensation and employee benefit costs which are linked to Company profitability; lower
depreciation and amortization expense; lower sales and marketing incentive costs; lower travel costs; and other
improvements resulting from the focus on managing all costs as a result of the current macroeconomic conditions.
Partially offsetting these cost declines, bad debt expense was $3.8 million higher for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal
year 2008 as a result of current market conditions. Additionally, during fiscal years 2009 and 2008, the Company
recorded $2.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of favorable adjustments due to reductions in its Supplemental
Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) liability resulting from the normal revaluation of the liability to fair value. The result
for the fiscal year comparison was a favorable variance in selling and administrative costs of $1.5 million. The gain
resulting from the reduction of the SERP liability that was recognized in selling and administrative expenses was exactly
offset by a decline in the SERP investment which was recorded in Other Income (Expense), and thus there was no effect
on net earnings. The SERP investment is primarily comprised of employee contributions.
Fiscal year 2009 Other General Income included a $31.5 million pre-tax gain on the sale of undeveloped land
holdings and timberlands. The gain on the sale of land was included in Unallocated Corporate in segment reporting.
Also impacting the fiscal year 2009 Other General Income was $1.9 million pre-tax income from earnest money
deposits retained by the Company resulting from the termination of the contract to sell and lease back the
Company’s Poland building and real estate. The buyer was unable to close the transaction, and as a result, the
Company was entitled to retain the deposit funds. This income was recorded in the EMS segment.
The Company recorded non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $14.6 million during fiscal year
2009 as a result of interim goodwill impairment testing which was completed due to the continued uncertainty
associated with the economy and the significant decline in the Company’s sales and order trends as well as the
increased disparity between the Company’s market capitalization and the carrying value of its Share Owners’
equity. The goodwill was related to prior acquisitions in both of the Company’s segments. See Note 1 — Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill.
Fiscal year 2009 other expense totaled $0.4 million compared to fiscal year 2008 other income of $3.2 million.
The $1.5 million variance in SERP investments contributed to the increased other expenses. Fiscal year 2008 other
income also included $1.3 million of pre-tax income relating to funds received as part of a Polish offset credit
program for investments made in the Company’s Poland operation.
The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 was 31.6%. The fiscal year 2009 effective tax rate was
positively impacted by a tax benefit related to a European subsidiary and to a lesser extent various tax benefits such as tax-
exempt interest income and the research and development credit which together more than offset the negative impact of
losses generated in select foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the domestic rate. As a result of various tax benefits
in fiscal year 2008, such as tax-exempt interest income and the research and development credit, coupled with the tax
benefit recorded related to the pre-tax loss, the Company recorded an overall income tax benefit greater than the pre-tax
loss in fiscal year 2008. For further detail see Note 9 — Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
24
Comparing the balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008, the Company’s combined cash and short-term
investments balances increased primarily due to cash inflows related to reductions in the Company’s accounts receivable
and inventory balances and the sale of the Company’s undeveloped land holdings and timberlands. The Company’s
accounts receivable balance declined primarily as a result of the lower sales volumes, and the inventory balance declined
due to the lower sales volumes and a focus on managing working capital during the latter half of fiscal year 2009. The
Company’s accounts payable balance also decreased since June 30, 2008 in relation to the declining inventory balances.
The increase in property and equipment was primarily due to the construction of the new EMS segment facility in Poland
and the purchase of other EMS segment manufacturing equipment. The other assets line declined due to the sale of the
tracts of undeveloped land holdings and timberlands; cash proceeds received from this sale increased the Company’s
cash balance and allowed the Company to reduce borrowings under its credit facilities. Accrued expenses as of June 30,
2009 declined when compared to June 30, 2008 primarily due to decreased accruals for employee benefits which are
linked to Company profitability, lower accrued selling expenses, lower accrued restructuring expenses, and a decline in
the deferred income balance due to recognition of various items during fiscal year 2009.
The variance in the additional paid-in capital and treasury stock lines was primarily attributable to the
fulfillment of requests by Share Owners to convert approximately 1,188,000 shares from Class A shares to Class B
shares and the issuance of vested restricted share units to key employees. The decline in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) was related to foreign currency translation adjustments and derivative financial
instruments. See Note 17 — Comprehensive Income of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on derivative financial instruments and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired privately-held Genesis Electronics Man-
ufacturing of Tampa, Florida, for $5.4 million. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth and diversification
strategy, bringing new customers in the Company’s key medical and industrial controls markets. The operating results
of this acquisition were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on September 1, 2008
and excluding the related goodwill impairment had an immaterial impact on the fiscal year 2009 financial results. See
Note 2 — Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the acquisition.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive
electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. The Company
successfully completed the move of production from Longford, Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during the
fiscal year 2009 second quarter. As part of the plan, the Company will also consolidate its EMS facilities located in
Bridgend, Wales, and Poznan, Poland, into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve the
Company’s margins in the very competitive EMS market. Construction of the new, larger facility in Poland is
complete with limited production to begin early in the Company’s fiscal year 2010. The plan is being executed in
stages with a projected completion date of December 2011. See Note 18 — Restructuring Expense of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges.
Also during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company had signed a conditional agreement to sell and
lease back the facilities and real estate that house its current Poland operations. The Company planned to lease back
the building until December 2011 at which time it will have completed the consolidation of its European operations
into a newly constructed facility in Poland. The closing on the sale of the existing Poland facility was expected to
occur before December 31, 2008. The buyer was unable to close the transaction. Pursuant to the agreement, the
Company was entitled to retain approximately $1.9 million of earnest money deposit funds held by the Company
which was recorded as pre-tax Other General Income in the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company continues to
market the facility and real estate which were not impaired as of June 30, 2009.

Fiscal year 2009 net sales to customers in the automotive and industrial control industries experienced double digit
percentage declines compared to fiscal year 2008. To a lesser extent, sales to customers in the medical industry also
declined, and sales to customers in the public safety industry increased when compared to fiscal year 2008. Due to the
contract nature of the Company’s business, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Fiscal year 2009 EMS segment gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 1.7 percentage points compared to
fiscal year 2008 primarily due to lower volumes; inefficiencies in the segment’s European operations which are
currently being consolidated into one facility; a shift in sales mix to lower margin product; higher employee
healthcare costs; higher depreciation expense; and contractual customer price reductions on select products.
Partially mitigating the lower margins were benefits the segment realized on the North American consolidation
activities which were completed late in fiscal year 2008.
The EMS segment achieved a 25% reduction in selling and administrative expense in absolute dollars for fiscal
year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. Selling and administrative costs also decreased 1.5 percentage points as a
percent of net sales. The improvement was primarily related to benefits realized from restructuring activities,
reduced spending on travel, lower depreciation/amortization expense, and a strong focus on managing all costs
including labor reductions as a result of the current macroeconomic conditions. Lower incentive compensation
costs and lower employee benefit costs which are linked to Company profitability also contributed to the selling and
administrative expense reduction as compared to fiscal year 2008.
The restructuring expense recorded in fiscal year 2009 was primarily related to the European consolidation
plan. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring expense was primarily related to the European consolidation plan, the
workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities.
Fiscal year 2009 Other General Income included $1.9 million pre-tax, which equated to $1.6 million after-tax,
income from the earnest money deposits retained by the Company resulting from the termination of the contract to
sell and lease back the Company’s Poland building and real estate.
The fiscal year 2009 EMS segment earnings were also impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax goodwill
impairment of $12.8 million, which equated to $8.0 million after-tax. During fiscal year 2008, goodwill impairment
of $0.2 million pre-tax was recorded on the Restructuring line item of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of
Income as it related to a restructuring plan.
The fiscal year 2008 other income/expense included $1.3 million of pre-tax, or $0.7 million after-tax, income
relating to funds received as part of a Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company’s Poland
operation.
Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the
following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new
programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause
losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program matures and becomes established.
This segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the
electronics subcontracting services market.
Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions,
customer order delays, increased globalization, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rapid technological
changes, component availability, the contract nature of this industry, unexpected integration issues with acqui-
sitions, the importance of sales to large customers, and the potential for customers to choose to insource a greater
portion of their electronics manufacturing. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to
replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs. Additional risk factors that could have an
effect on the Company’s performance are located within Item 1A — Risk Factors.

Furniture Segment
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate
production of select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation reduced manufacturing costs
and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and employee costs. The
consolidation was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2009. See Note 18 — Restructuring Expense of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges.

The net sales decline in the Furniture segment for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 resulted from
decreased net sales of office furniture which were partially offset by increased net sales of hospitality furniture.
Price increases net of higher discounting contributed approximately $9.6 million to net sales during fiscal year 2009
when compared to fiscal year 2008. Fiscal year 2009 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which have
been sold for less than twelve months approximated $26.8 million. Furniture products open orders at June 30, 2009
declined when compared to the open orders at June 30, 2008 due to decreased open orders for both office furniture
and hospitality furniture. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Fiscal year 2009 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 1.8 percentage points when compared to fiscal
year 2008. In addition to the impact of the lower net sales level, gross profit was negatively impacted by higher
commodity costs, increased discounting on select product, costs incurred for supplier-related issues, and a sales mix
shift to lower margin product. Partially offsetting the higher costs were price increases on select office furniture
products, labor efficiency improvements, decreased employee benefit costs which are linked to Company prof-
itability, and a decrease in LIFO inventory reserves resulting from lower inventory levels which positively impacted
the fiscal year 2009 gross profit.
Fiscal year 2009 selling and administrative expenses decreased in both absolute dollars and as a percent of net
sales compared to fiscal year 2008. The selling and administrative expense decline resulted from lower salary
expenses related to the workforce reduction restructuring activities, lower sales and marketing incentive costs,
lower travel expense, lower incentive compensation and employee benefit costs which are linked to Company
profitability, and other improvements resulting from the focus on managing all costs as a result of the current
macroeconomic conditions. Partially offsetting the selling and administrative expense improvements was increased
bad debt expense of approximately $2.6 million on a pre-tax basis in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008.
The fiscal year 2008 restructuring charges were primarily related to the workforce reduction plan.
The fiscal year 2009 Furniture segment earnings were also impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax
goodwill impairment of $1.8 million, which equated to $1.1 million after-tax.
Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions,
increased global competition, financial stability of customers, supply chain cost pressures, and relationships with
strategic customers and product distributors. Additional risk factors that could have an effect on the Company’s
performance are located within Item 1A — Risk Factors.

Fiscal Year 2008 Results of Operations
Discontinued Operations
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of PTV
cabinets and stands within the Furniture segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company’s Juarez, Mexico,
operation. Production ceased at the Juarez facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, and all inventory
has been sold. Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment were complete as of
June 30, 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 the Company bought out the remaining term of the
building lease. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, the financial results associated with the Mexican
operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations beginning in the quarter ended
December 31, 2006, and all prior periods were restated.
See Note 19 — Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information
on the discontinued operations.
Financial results of the discontinued operations were as follows:

Financial Overview — Consolidated
Fiscal year 2008 consolidated net sales were $1.35 billion compared to fiscal year 2007 net sales of
$1.29 billion, a 5% increase over fiscal year 2007. The higher net sales resulted from increased EMS segment
net sales related to the third quarter fiscal year 2007 Reptron acquisition within the EMS segment which contributed
net sales of $144 million in fiscal year 2008 and $55 million in fiscal year 2007 as well as increased organic
Furniture and EMS segment net sales. In addition, in mid-fiscal year 2007, the Company reduced the price of
finished product sold to a customer in the EMS segment which carried forward through fiscal year 2008. Fiscal year
2008 had a full-year impact of this pricing reduction while fiscal year 2007 only had the impact for half of the year
and thus resulted in a $65 million net sales reduction in fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007, which
partially offset the EMS sales increase.
The Company recorded income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 of $0.1 million, or less than
$0.01 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $14.6 million, or $0.39 per Class B
diluted share. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring charges were primarily related to the European consolidation plan,
a workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities. Fiscal year 2007 income from continuing
operations was $23.3 million, or $0.60 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of
$0.9 million, or $0.02 per Class B diluted share.
Information regarding the Reptron acquisition and restructuring plans is included in the segment discussions below.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales in fiscal year 2008 was 18.4% compared to 20.3% in fiscal year 2007.
Both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment contributed to the decline as discussed in more detail in the segment
discussions below. Gross profit was also negatively impacted as the Company’s sales mix continued to shift toward the
EMS segment, which operates at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment. Partially offsetting the fiscal
year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales decline, the EMS customer pricing adjustment discussed above increased
gross margin as a percent of net sales approximately 1 percentage point compared to fiscal year 2007 gross margin. This
EMS customer pricing adjustment had no impact on the gross margin dollars for either fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year
2007 as the reduction in sales was offset by an equal reduction in material cost purchased from the same customer.
28
The fiscal year 2008 consolidated selling and administrative expense level in absolute dollars approximated
the fiscal year 2007 level and declined as a percent of net sales. The decline in consolidated selling and
administrative costs as a percent of net sales was primarily due to the leverage of the higher net sales level
and the shift in sales mix toward the EMS segment, which has a lower selling and administrative expense percentage
than the Furniture segment.
Fiscal year 2008 other income totaled $3.2 million compared to fiscal year 2007 other income of $9.9 million.
Fiscal year 2008 interest expense was $0.9 million higher due to higher average outstanding debt balances, and
fiscal year 2008 interest income was $1.9 million lower than fiscal year 2007 as the Company’s average cash and
short-term investment balances were lower. In addition, a $3.5 million decline in the market value of the Company’s
SERP investments for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007 contributed to the decline in other income.
The loss on the SERP investment that was recognized in other income was exactly offset by a reduction in the SERP
liability which was recognized in selling and administrative expense in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fiscal year
2008 other income also included $1.3 million pre-tax income relating to funds received as part of a Polish offset
credit program for investments made in the Company’s Poland operation.
As a result of various tax benefits in fiscal year 2008, such as tax-exempt interest income and the research and
development credit, coupled with the tax benefit recorded related to the pre-tax loss, the Company recorded an
overall income tax benefit greater than the pre-tax loss. The fiscal year 2007 effective tax rate was 36%. For further
detail see Note 9 — Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment
In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its business
model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company
approved a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing business envi-
ronment. Within the Company’s EMS segment, the restructuring activities included realigning engineering and
technical resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes. The plan also
included reducing corporate personnel costs to more properly align with the overall sales mix change within the
Company. Expenditures were primarily for employee severance and transition costs. This plan is complete.
On February 15, 2007, the Company acquired Reptron, a U.S. based electronics manufacturing services company
which provided engineering services, electronics manufacturing services, and display integration services. The total
amount of funds required to consummate the merger and to pay fees related to the merger was $50.9 million. Reptron
had four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida; Hibbing, Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont,
California. The acquisition increased the Company’s capabilities and expertise in support of the Company’s long-term
strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end industrial sectors. The operating results of this
acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. With
the acquisition, the Company recognized it would have excess capacity in North America. Management developed a
plan as of the acquisition date to consolidate capacity within the acquired facilities. Based on a review of future growth
potential in various geographies and input from existing customers regarding future capacity needs, during the fourth
quarter of fiscal year 2007 the Company finalized a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit the facility
located in Gaylord, Michigan, and transfer the business to several of the Company’s other EMS facilities. The
Company ceased production at the facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Excess equipment was sold
during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Gaylord facility is currently classified as held for sale.
Expenditures included employee severance and transition costs which were recognized as part of the purchase price
allocation, not impacting earnings. Expenditures also included losses on the sale of equipment, impairment on the
facility, and an immaterial amount related to other closure activities which impacted earnings as the costs were
incurred. The Company expects to recognize minimal future charges related to ongoing facility maintenance
expenses. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a separate restructuring plan to
further consolidate its EMS facilities that resulted in the exit of the manufacturing facility located in Hibbing,
Minnesota, which was also one of the acquired Reptron facilities. Production at the Hibbing facility ceased in the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Company’s lease of the Hibbing facility ended in December 2008. A
majority of the Hibbing business transferred to several of the Company’s worldwide EMS facilities. Expenditures,
most of which were recognized during fiscal year 2008, included employee severance and transition costs, asset and
goodwill impairment, lease exit costs, and other plant closure and exit costs.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the EMS
segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the
production for select programs was transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility
ceased in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and the facility was sold during fiscal year 2008. The plan
included employee transition costs, accelerated software amortization costs, accelerated asset depreciation, and
other restructuring costs which were partially offset by gains on the sale of equipment net of other asset impairment.
The decision to exit this facility was a result of excess capacity in North America.

Fiscal year 2008 EMS segment net sales increased $54 million, or 8%, from fiscal year 2007. The acquisition
completed midway through the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 within the EMS segment contributed sales of
$144 million in fiscal year 2008 and $55 million in fiscal year 2007. In addition, in mid-fiscal year 2007, the
Company reduced the price of finished product sold to a customer in the EMS segment which carried forward
through fiscal year 2008. Fiscal year 2008 had a full-year impact of this pricing reduction while fiscal year 2007
only had the impact for half of the year and thus resulted in a $65 million net sales reduction in fiscal year 2008 when
compared to fiscal year 2007. See the discussion below for more information on this selling price change. Increased
sales to customers in the medical, industrial control, and public safety industries more than offset decreased sales to
customers in the automotive industry driven by declines in the domestic automotive market.
The EMS segment recorded a loss from continuing operations of $15.3 million for fiscal year 2008, inclusive
of after-tax restructuring charges of $12.8 million primarily related to the European consolidation plan, the
workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities. EMS segment fiscal year 2007 income from
continuing operations totaled $1.0 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million.
Fiscal year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 1.2 percentage points compared to fiscal year
2007. Fiscal year 2008 gross profit was negatively impacted by excess capacity costs and inefficiencies some of
which were associated with the closure of two domestic facilities and the related transfer of production to other
facilities within this segment. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by a shift in product mix to lower margin
product.
Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, gross profit as a percent of sales was favorably impacted by a
reduction in the pricing of select raw material which is purchased from Bayer AG and affiliates, a major customer
within the EMS segment. The selling price of the finished product back to Bayer AG and affiliates was likewise
reduced by an amount equal to the material price reduction. While there was no impact to gross profit dollars, net
income, or net cash flows related to this pricing change, gross profit as a percent of net sales increased
approximately 1 percentage point, and selling and administrative expense as a percent of net sales increased
by a similar percentage for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007.
Fiscal year 2008 selling and administrative expense increased in both dollars and as a percent of net sales when
compared to fiscal year 2007. The inclusion of the selling and administrative expenses of the mid-third quarter fiscal
year 2007 acquisition for the entire fiscal year 2008 was the primary driver of the increase in selling and
administrative expense in absolute dollars. The customer pricing adjustment mentioned above increased selling and
administrative expense as a percent of net sales, and the leverage of higher sales volume decreased selling and
administrative expense as a percent of net sales. In addition, increased investments in business development
resources contributed to the selling and administrative expense increase as a percent of net sales and in absolute
dollars.
The fiscal year 2008 and 2007 earnings were unfavorably impacted by pre-tax costs, in millions, of $2.3 and
$3.5, respectively, related to the start-up of an EMS manufacturing facility in China. Fiscal year 2008 income from
continuing operations included $1.3 million of pre-tax income relating to funds received as part of the Polish offset
credit program for investments made in the Company’s Poland operation.

Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the
following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The reduction in fiscal-year-to-date sales to Bayer AG is related to two factors. First, in January 2007, Bayer
AG sold its diagnostics unit to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company’s net sales which were formerly to
Bayer AG affiliates in fiscal year 2007 are now to Siemens AG. Second, net sales to Bayer AG affiliates were also
impacted as a result of the Company’s aforementioned selling price reduction effective January 2007 to Bayer AG
affiliates which was offset by an equal reduction in the material cost.
Furniture Segment
As part of the workforce reduction restructuring activities discussed in the EMS segment above, within the
Company’s Furniture segment, the restructuring activities included realigning information technology and pro-
curement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes to drive further
synergies afforded by the alignment of the sales and manufacturing functions within this segment. Related
expenditures were primarily for employee severance and transition costs. This plan is complete.
As part of the Company’s plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture segment,
the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of
administrative, marketing, and business development functions to better serve the segment’s primary markets.
Expenses related to this plan included software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance, and
other consolidation costs. This plan is complete.

Increased net sales volumes of both office and hospitality furniture contributed to the increased branded
furniture net sales level. Price increases net of higher discounting contributed approximately $4 million to the
increased net sales of branded furniture during fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007. Fiscal year 2008
sales of newly introduced office furniture products which the Company began selling during fiscal year 2008
approximated $57 million. Branded furniture products open orders at June 30, 2008 were 6% higher than open
orders at June 30, 2007 as higher hospitality furniture open orders more than offset lower office furniture open
orders. The absence of net sales and open orders of contract private label products was a result of the planned exit of
this product line.
The Furniture segment income from continuing operations was $13.4 million in fiscal year 2008, inclusive of
after-tax restructuring charges of $1.3 million, compared to income from continuing operations of $17.8 million in
fiscal year 2007, which included $0.8 million of after-tax restructuring charges. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring
31
charges were primarily related to the workforce reduction plan, and the fiscal year 2007 restructuring charges were
primarily related to the consolidation and standardization of administrative, marketing, and business development
functions within this segment. Fiscal year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 2.1 percentage points
when compared to fiscal year 2007. Gross profit was negatively impacted by supply chain cost increases, increased
fuel expense, a sales mix shift to lower margin product, and competitive pricing pressures. Price increases on select
office furniture products partially offset the higher costs.
As compared to fiscal year 2007, fiscal year 2008 selling and administrative expenses decreased in both
absolute dollars and as a percent of net sales as the Furniture segment incurred lower advertising and product
promotion expenses and lower incentive compensation costs. Increased investments in the segment’s sales force
partially offset the other selling and administrative savings. The leverage of the segment’s higher sales volumes also
contributed to the selling and administrative expense as a percent of net sales improvement. The Furniture segment
earnings were also positively impacted by savings realized through various cost reduction initiatives.
See Note 18 — Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
restructuring charges.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2009 was $176.2 million compared to working capital of $162.6 million at June 30,
2008. The current ratio was 1.8 at June 30, 2009 and 1.5 at June 30, 2008.
The Company’s internal measure of Accounts Receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO), for fiscal year 2009 of 47.2 days approximated the 46.6 days for fiscal year 2008. The
Company defines DSO as the average of monthly accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day’s net
sales. The Company’s Production Days Supply on Hand (PDSOH) of inventory measure for fiscal year 2009
increased to 65.6 from 59.9 for fiscal year 2008. The increased PDSOH was primarily driven by the rapid decline in
EMS segment sales volumes. The Company defines PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided
by an average day’s cost of sales.
The Company’s short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term invest-
ments plus the unused amount of the Company’s revolving credit facility, totaled $183.7 million at June 30, 2009
compared to $126.6 million at June 30, 2008. The credit facility provides an option to increase the amount available
by an additional $50 million at the Company’s request, subject to participating banks’ consent.
The Company’s net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments less
short-term borrowings under credit facilities increased from $29.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $88.6 million at
June 30, 2009, as cash flow generated from reductions in certain components of working capital and from the sale of
assets more than offset cash payments during fiscal year 2009 for capital expenditures, the acquisition within the
EMS segment, and dividends. Operating activities generated $84.2 million of cash flow in fiscal year 2009
compared to $43.4 million in fiscal year 2008. Proceeds from the sale of assets of $49.9 million were received
during fiscal year 2009, primarily related to the sale of the Company’s undeveloped land holdings and timberlands.
The Company reinvested $48.3 million into capital investments for the future, primarily for manufacturing
equipment, the new Poland facility under construction which is part of the plan to consolidate the European
manufacturing footprint, and other facility improvements during fiscal year 2009. The Company also expended
$5.4 million for the acquisition within the EMS segment during fiscal year 2009. Fiscal year 2009 financing cash
flow activities included $19.4 million in dividend payments, which was a decrease from the $23.7 million of
dividends paid during fiscal year 2008. The dividend declared during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 payable in
April 2009 was reduced approximately 70% from the quarterly dividend rates paid in previous quarters which
reduced dividend payments by approximately $4 million during the Company’s fiscal year 2009 fourth quarter. The
dividend declared to be paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 was comparable to the dividend paid in the
Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Consistent with the Company’s historical dividend policy, the
Company’s Board of Directors will evaluate the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. During fiscal
year 2010, the Company expects to minimize capital expenditures where appropriate but will invest in capital
expenditures prudently, particularly for projects that would enhance the Company’s capabilities and diversification
while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability when the economy recovers. The land and
32
new facility in Poland are expected to cost approximately $35 million of which approximately $27 million was paid
prior to June 30, 2009. The Company plans to sell its current Poland facility in the future.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had $12.7 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under its $100 million
credit facility described in more detail below. The Company also has several smaller foreign credit facilities
available but had no borrowings under these facilities as of June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2008, the Company had
$52.6 million of short-term borrowings outstanding.
The Company maintains a $100 million credit facility with an expiration date in April 2013 that allows for both
issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. The $100 million credit facility provides an option to increase the
amount available for borrowing to $150 million at the Company’s request, subject to the group of participating banks’
consent. The $100 million credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain debt covenants including interest
coverage ratio, minimum net worth, and other terms and conditions. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at June 30, 2009.
The Company believes the most significant covenants under its $100 million credit facility are minimum net
worth and interest coverage ratio. The table below compares the actual net worth and interest coverage ratio with the
limits specified in the credit agreement.

The Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis as defined in the credit agreement.
The outstanding balance under the $100 million credit facility consisted of $12.7 million for a Euro currency
borrowing, which provides a natural currency hedge against a Euro denominated intercompany note between the
U.S. parent and Euro functional currency subsidiaries. There were also approximately $5.0 million in letters of
credit against the credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $82.3 million
at June 30, 2009.
The Company also maintains a separate foreign credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Thailand which is
backed by the $100 million revolving credit facility. In addition to the $100 million credit facility, the Company has
several other foreign credit facilities which are available to cover bank overdrafts to satisfy short-term cash needs at that
specific location rather than funding from intercompany sources. The Company has a credit facility for its EMS segment
operation in Wales, United Kingdom, which is comprised of an overdraft facility which allows for multi-currency
borrowings up to 2 million Sterling equivalent (approximately $3.3 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates)
and an engagement facility of 3.5 million Sterling equivalent (approximately $5.8 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009
exchange rates), which can be used only for payment of customs, duties, or value-added taxes in the event of the
Company’s failure to pay its obligations. The Company also has a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in
Poznan, Poland, which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 6 million Euro equivalent (approximately $8.5 million
U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates). These overdraft facilities can be cancelled at any time by either the bank or
the Company. At June 30, 2009, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under these foreign facilities.
The Company believes its principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from
operations, and the availability of borrowing under the Company’s credit facilities will be sufficient in fiscal year
2010 and the foreseeable future. One of the Company’s primary sources of funds is its ability to generate cash from
operations to meet its liquidity obligations, which could be adversely affected by factors such as general economic
and market conditions, a decline in demand for the Company’s products, loss of key contract customers, the ability
of the Company to generate profits, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for the
Company’s products decrease significantly over the next 12 months due to the weakened economy, the available
cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted. Another source of funds is the Company’s credit
facilities. The $100 million credit facility is contingent on complying with certain debt covenants.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Fair Value
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, for
financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at July 1, 2008. The adoption had an
immaterial impact on the Company’s financial statements. During fiscal year 2009, no financial assets were affected
by a lack of market liquidity. For level 1 financial assets, readily available market pricing was used to value the
financial instruments. For available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values are determined
based on observable market inputs which use evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate
available trade, bid, and other market information. The Company evaluated the inputs used to value the instruments
and validated the accuracy of the instrument fair values based on historical evidence. The Company’s derivatives,
which were classified as level 2 assets/liabilities, were independently valued using a financial risk management
software package using observable market inputs such as forward interest rate yield curves, current spot rates, and
time value calculations. To verify the reasonableness of the independently determined fair values, the derivative fair
values were compared to fair values calculated by the counterparty banks. The Company’s own credit risk and
counterparty credit risk had an immaterial impact on valuation of derivatives. See Note 11 — Fair Value of
Financial Assets and Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

(a) As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no Capital Lease Obligations.
(b) Refer to Note 6 — Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information regarding Long-Term Debt Obligations. Accrued interest is also included on the Long-Term Debt
Obligations line. The $12.7 million long-term debt obligations due in fiscal year 2010 include $12.7 million of
short-term borrowing under the Company’s $100 million credit facility and less than $0.1 million of long-term
debt obligations due in fiscal year 2010 which are recorded as current liabilities. The estimated interest not yet
accrued related to debt is included in the Other line item within the Unrecorded Contractual Obligations.
(c) The timing of payments of certain items included on the “Other Long-Term Liabilities Reflected on the Balance
Sheet” line above is estimated based on the following assumptions:
(cid:129) The timing of SERP payments is estimated based on an assumed retirement age of 62 with payout based on
the prior distribution elections of participants. The fiscal year 2010 amount includes $3.5 million for SERP
payments recorded as current liabilities.
(cid:129) The timing of employee transition payments related to facilities to be exited is estimated based on the
expected termination in the underlying restructuring plan. The fiscal year 2010 amount also includes
$4.4 million for restructuring employee transition payments and the related derivatives recorded as a current
liability.
(cid:129) The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average service life of employees. The fiscal
year 2010 amount also includes $0.6 million for severance payments recorded as a current liability.
(cid:129) The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data. The fiscal year 2010 amount includes
$1.6 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.
(d) Excludes $4.2 million of long-term unrecognized tax benefits associated with the adoption of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), and
associated accrued interest and penalties along with deferred tax liabilities and miscellaneous other long-term
34
tax liabilities which are not tied to a contractual obligation and for which the Company cannot make a
reasonably reliable estimate of the period of future payments.
(e) Refer to Note 5 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
more information regarding Operating Leases and certain Other Long-Term Liabilities.
(f) Purchase Obligations are defined as agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally
binding and that specify all significant terms. The amounts listed above for purchase obligations include
contractual commitments for items such as raw materials, supplies, capital expenditures, services, and software
acquisitions/license commitments. Cancellable purchase obligations that the Company intends to fulfill are
also included in the purchase obligations amount listed above through fiscal year 2014. In certain instances,
such as when lead times dictate, the Company enters into contractual agreements for material in excess of the
levels required to fulfill customer orders. In turn, agreements with the customers cover a portion of that
exposure for the material which was purchased prior to having a firm order.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than standby letters of credit and operating leases
entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not
reasonably likely to have a material future effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 5 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on standby letters of credit. The Company does not have
material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that
affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could
differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value
these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable. The Company’s management overlays a fundamental philosophy of valuing its assets and
liabilities in an appropriately conservative manner. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is
disclosed in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates
used in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the
portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical
accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and with the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Revenue recognition — The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk transfer to the customer, which
under the terms and conditions of the sale may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is delivered
to the customer. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Shipping and handling fees billed to
customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The
Company recognizes sales net of applicable sales tax.
(cid:129) Allowance for sales returns — At the time revenue is recognized certain provisions may also be recorded,
including returns and allowances, which involve estimates based on current discussions with applicable
customers, historical experience with a particular customer and/or product, and other relevant factors. As
such, these factors may change over time causing the provisions to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2009
and June 30, 2008, the reserve for returns and allowances was $4.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
The returns and allowances reserve approximated 2% of gross trade receivables during fiscal years 2008 and
2009 up until the last two quarters of fiscal year 2009 at which time it trended up to 3% primarily due to
issues isolated to two furniture projects with unique specifications.
35
(cid:129) Allowance for doubtful accounts — Allowance for doubtful accounts is generally based on a percentage of
aged accounts receivable, where the percentage increases as the accounts receivable become older. However,
management judgment is utilized in the final determination of the allowance based on several factors including
specific analysis of a customer’s credit worthiness, changes in a customer’s payment history, historical bad debt
experience, and general economic and market trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2009
and June 30, 2008 was $3.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the preceding two years, this reserve
had been at or less than 1% of gross trade accounts receivable up until the last two quarters of fiscal year 2009 at
which point it approximated 2% of gross trade accounts receivable. The higher reserve was driven by increased
risk created by the current market conditions.
Excess and obsolete inventory — Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or
market value for approximately 14% and 17% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008,
respectively, including approximately 83% and 85% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2009 and
June 30, 2008, respectively. The remaining inventories were valued at lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or
market value. Inventories recorded on the Company’s balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory.
In general, the Company purchases materials and finished goods for contract-based business from customer orders
and projections, primarily in the case of long lead time items, and has a general philosophy to only purchase
materials to the extent covered by a written commitment from its customers. However, there are times when
inventory is purchased beyond customer commitments due to minimum lot sizes and inventory lead time
requirements, or where component allocation or other procurement issues may exist. The Company may also
purchase additional inventory to support transfers of production between manufacturing facilities. Evaluation of
excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product
demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating inventory obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory
and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.
Self-insurance reserves — The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability,
workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with
the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s policy is to estimate
reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and
other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events.
Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause
these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the
Company’s accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $6.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Taxes — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences
attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company
evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability
and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not
likely, the Company provides a valuation allowance based on its best estimate of future taxable income in the
various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change
management’s assessment.
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions.
These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, the
Company believes it has made adequate provision for income and other taxes for all years that are subject to audit.
As tax periods are effectively settled, the provision will be adjusted accordingly. The liability for uncertain income
tax and other tax positions was $3.5 million and $2.4 million at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
Additional information on income taxes is contained in Note 9 — Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Goodwill — Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying
tangible and intangible net asset values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate
an earlier review is necessary, the Company compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of the
reporting unit’s fair value to identify potential impairment. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less
36
than the carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the amount of potential goodwill impairment. If
impaired, goodwill is written down to its estimated implied fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is
tested at the reporting unit level. The Company uses discounted cash flows to establish its reporting unit fair values.
The calculation of the fair value of the reporting units considers current market conditions existing at the assessment
date. During fiscal year 2009, goodwill was reviewed on an interim basis due to the continued uncertainty
associated with the economy and the significant decline in the Company’s sales and order trends as well as the
increased disparity between the Company’s market capitalization and the carrying value of its Share Owners’
equity. Interim testing resulted in the recognition of non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment of, in millions, $12.8
within the EMS segment and $1.8 within the Furniture segment. In addition to performing the required annual
testing, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods to determine whether
additional goodwill impairment testing is warranted on an interim basis. The Company can provide no assurance
that an additional impairment charge for the Company’s remaining goodwill balance will not occur in future periods
as a result of these analyses. At June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, the Company’s goodwill totaled, in millions, $2.6
and $15.4, respectively.
New Accounting Standards
See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
information regarding New Accounting Standards.
Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk: As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income
securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $25 million and $52 million, respectively.
These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at market value. Unrealized losses on
debt securities are recognized in earnings when a company has an intent to sell or is likely to be required to sell
before recovery of the loss, or when the debt security has incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and
losses are recorded net of the tax related effect as a component of Share Owners’ Equity. These securities, like all
fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A
hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2009 and
2008 would cause the fair value of these short-term investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further
information on short-term investments is provided in Note 13 — Short-Term Investments of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on certain outstanding debt balances. The outstanding loan
balances under the Company’s credit facilities bear interest at variable rates based on prevailing short-term interest
rates. Based on the $13 million and $53 million outstanding balances of variable rate obligations at June 30, 2009
and 2008, respectively, the Company estimates that a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not
have a material effect on annual interest expense. Further information on debt balances is provided in Note 6 —
Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: The Company operates internationally and thus is subject to potentially
adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of
derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are used only to manage
underlying exposures of the Company and are not used in a speculative manner. Further information on derivative
financial instruments is provided in Note 12 — Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates
relative to non-functional currency balances of monetary instruments, to the extent not hedged by derivative
instruments, would not have a material impact on profitability in an annual period.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial
statements and other related information in this report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are
applied on an appropriately conservative basis. The Company maintains a system of internal and disclosure controls
intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are
authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the
financial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees
who work within the internal control processes, by the Company’s staff of internal auditors, as well as by the
independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the
Company, meets regularly with management, the internal auditors, and the independent registered public account-
ing firm to review the Company’s financial policies and procedures, its internal control structure, the objectivity of
its financial reporting, and the independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The
internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit
Committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation.
These consolidated financial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Com-
mission, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2009.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit
report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Share Owners of Kimball International, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries
(the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, share owners’
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s
management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and
effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal
control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2009, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009, based on
the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all domestic and
foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk transfer to the customer,
which under the terms and conditions of the sale, may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is
delivered to the customer. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related
shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognizes sales net of applicable
sales tax. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Based on estimated product returns and price
concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of
revenue. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded using specific analysis of a customer’s credit worthiness,
changes in a customer’s payment history, historical bad debt experience, and general economic and market trends.
Estimates of collectibility result in an increase or decrease in selling expenses.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures. While efforts are
made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management’s knowledge of current events, actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents
consist of bank accounts and money market funds. Bank accounts are stated at cost, which approximates fair value,
and money market funds are stated at fair value. Short-term investments consist primarily of municipal securities with
maturities exceeding three months at the time of acquisition. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value.
Unrealized losses on debt securities are recognized in earnings when a company has an intent to sell or is likely to be
required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the debt security has incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized
gains and losses are recorded net of the tax related effect as a component of Share Owners’ Equity.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost includes material, labor, and
applicable manufacturing overhead. Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred. The
last-in, first-out (LIFO) method was used for approximately 14% and 17% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2009
and June 30, 2008, respectively, and remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Inventories recorded on the Company’s balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of
excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand
levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value
due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method
for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major maintenance activities and improvements are
capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals and betterments are expensed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company performs reviews for impairment of long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the
asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair
market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the
related underlying tangible and intangible net asset values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions
indicate an earlier review is necessary, the Company compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of
the reporting unit’s fair value to identify potential impairment. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than
the carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the amount of potential goodwill impairment. If impaired,
goodwill is written down to its estimated implied fair value. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the
reporting unit level. The Company uses discounted cash flows to establish its reporting unit fair value. The calculation of
the fair value of the reporting units considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date.

During fiscal year 2009, goodwill was reviewed on an interim basis due to the continued uncertainty associated
with the economy and liquidity crisis and the significant decline in the Company’s sales and order trends as well as
the increased disparity between the Company’s market capitalization and the carrying value of its stockholders’
equity. Interim testing resulted in the recognition of goodwill impairment of, in thousands, $12,826 within the
Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment and $1,733 within the Furniture segment. The impairment was
recorded on the Goodwill Impairment line item of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
In addition to performing the required annual testing, the Company will continue to monitor circumstances and
events in future periods to determine whether additional goodwill impairment testing is warranted on an interim basis.
The Company can provide no assurance that an additional impairment charge for the remaining goodwill balance, which
approximates only 0.4% of the Company’s total assets, will not occur in future periods as a result of these analyses.
Within the EMS segment, goodwill increased by, in thousands, $1,965 during fiscal year 2009 for the acquisition
of Genesis Electronics Manufacturing. This acquisition was integrated into an existing reporting unit, and the goodwill
was subsequently deemed impaired by the interim testing completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. See
Note 2 — Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Goodwill was offset by,
in thousands, a $153 reduction due to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
During fiscal year 2008, the terminated business in conjunction with the consolidation of a Hibbing,
Minnesota, operation resulted in a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of, in thousands, $172, which was recorded
on the Restructuring line item of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other intangible assets consist of capitalized software, product rights, and customer relationships and are
reported as Other Intangible Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intangible assets are reviewed for
impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the
remaining lives of the assets.

During fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, amortization expense of other intangible assets from continuing
operations, including asset write-downs associated with the Company’s restructuring plans, was, in thousands,
$3,931, $8,036, and $8,756, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands,
$2,389, $2,023, $1,769, $1,474, and $1,114 in the five years ending June 30, 2014, and $1,412 thereafter. The
amortization period for product rights is 7 years. The amortization period for the customer relationship intangible
asset ranges from 10 to 16 years. The estimated useful life of internal-use software ranges from 3 to 10 years.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company performed an assessment of the useful lives of Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software. In evaluating useful lives, the Company considered how long assets would remain
functionally efficient and effective, given levels of technology, competitive factors, and the economic environment
as of fiscal year 2009. This assessment indicated that the assets will continue to be used for a longer period than
previously anticipated. As a result, effective October 1, 2008, the Company revised the useful lives of ERP software
from 7 years to 10 years. Changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis, by amortizing assets’
current carrying values over their revised remaining useful lives. The effect of this change in estimate, compared to
the original amortization, for fiscal year 2009 was a pre-tax reduction in amortization expense of, in thousands,
$1,402. The pre-tax (decrease) increase to amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands,
($1,227), ($299), $451, $911, and $664 in the five years ending June 30, 2014, and $902 thereafter.
Internal-use software is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line
method. During the software application development stage, capitalized costs include external consulting costs,
cost of software licenses, and internal payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated
with a software project. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in added functionality which
enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of performing. Software maintenance, training,
data conversion, and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Product rights to produce and sell certain products are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives, and capitalized customer relationships are amortized on estimated attrition rate of customers. The
Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives which are not subject to amortization.
Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and
development costs from continuing operations were approximately, in millions, $14, $16, and $17 in fiscal years
2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs from continuing operations,
included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $4.5, $6.2, and $8.3, in fiscal years 2009, 2008,
and 2007, respectively.
Insurance and Self-insurance: The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability,
workers’ compensation, and certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental,
with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company’s policy is to estimate
reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and
other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events.
Approximately 68% of the workforce is covered under self-insured medical and short-term disability plans.
The Company carries external medical and disability insurance coverage for the remainder of its eligible
workforce not covered by self-insured plans. Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.
Income Taxes: Foreign unremitted earnings of entities not included in the United States tax return have been
included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be
payable on distribution to the United States because it is not anticipated such earnings will be remitted to the United
States. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on unremitted earnings is not practicable.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company has business and credit risks
concentrated in the medical, automotive, and furniture industries. Two customers, Bayer AG and TRWAutomotive,
Inc., represented 19% and 11%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2009. Bayer AG and
Siemens AG, represented 16% and 15%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2008. The
Company currently does not foresee a credit risk associated with these receivables. The Company also has an
agreement with a contract customer and a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility. At June 30, 2009,
$4.7 million was outstanding. The Company recorded a provision for potential credit losses. The Company’s off-
balance sheet arrangements are limited to operating leases entered into in the normal course of business as described
in Note 5 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other General Income: Other General Income includes the gain related to the sale of undeveloped land and
timberland holdings and earnest money deposits retained by the Company resulting from the termination of the
contract to sell and lease back the Company’s Poland building and real estate.

Non-operating Income and Expense: Non-operating income and expense include the impact of such items as
foreign currency rate movements and related derivative gain or loss, fair value adjustments on Supplemental
Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) investments, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other miscella-
neous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations.
Foreign Currency Translation: The Company uses the U.S. dollar and Euro predominately as its functional
currencies. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are remeasured into functional currencies at end-of-period
exchange rates, except for nonmonetary assets and equity, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates.
Revenue and expenses are remeasured at the weighted average exchange rate during the fiscal year, except for
expenses related to nonmonetary assets, which are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from
foreign currency remeasurement are reported in the Non-operating income or expense line item on the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
For businesses whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, the translation of functional currency
statements to U.S. dollar statements uses end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities, weighted average
exchange rates for revenue and expenses, and historical rates for equity. The resulting currency translation adjustment
is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), as a component of Share Owners’ Equity.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the
balance sheet as assets and liabilities and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recorded each period in earnings or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), depending on whether a
derivative is designated and effective as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Hedge
accounting is utilized when a derivative is expected to be highly effective upon execution and continues to be highly
effective over the duration of the hedge transaction. Hedge accounting permits gains and losses on derivative
instruments to be deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently included in
earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item, or when the derivative is determined to be
ineffective. The Company’s use of derivatives is generally limited to forward purchases of foreign currency to
manage exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate risks inherent in
forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. See Note 12 — Derivative Instruments of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 8 — Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company maintains stock-based compensation plans which allow for the issuance of
restricted stock, restricted share units, unrestricted share grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
performance shares, performance units, and stock appreciation rights for grant to officers and other key employees
of the Company and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. The Company recognizes the
cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method. The estimated fair value of
outstanding performance shares and restricted share units is based on the stock price at the date of the award. For
performance shares, the price is reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period
which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards. The estimated fair value of stock options is
determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
48
Subsequent Events: The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events through August 31, 2009,
which is the date these financial statements were issued.
New Accounting Standards:
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FAS 168). This standard
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative
U.S. GAAP by providing all literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard
documents will be superseded. FAS 168 will be effective beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2010,
and its adoption is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (FAS 167),
which modifies how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled
through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. FAS 167 clarifies that the determination of whether a
company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a
company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic
performance. FAS 167 requires an ongoing reassessment of whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity and requires additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest
entities. FAS 167 will be effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2011. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of FAS 167 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165). FAS 165 incorporates existing guidance
into the accounting literature for the accounting and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the date through which a company has
evaluated subsequent events. FAS 165 became effective as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and the required
disclosure has been provided in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. This FSP modifies the recognition of impairment losses on
debt securities so that an impairment loss is triggered when a company has an intent to sell or is likely to sell before
recovery of the loss, or when the debt security has incurred a credit loss. This FSP also requires interim and annual
disclosures, by major security type, of impairment losses taken and not taken, and information on credit losses. The
Company adopted the FSP at the end of fiscal year 2009 and provided the required disclosures in Note 13 — Short-
Term Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments. This FSP expands to interim periods the existing annual requirement to disclose the fair
value of financial instruments that are not reflected on the balance sheet at fair value. The FSP will be effective and
will require additional disclosures in interim periods beginning in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the
Market for That Asset is Not Active. This FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of
a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. Additionally, in April 2009 the FASB issued
FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP provides guidelines for
determining the fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed
sales and requires additional annual and interim disclosure of fair value by major security types. FSP FAS 157-3 was
effective upon issuance and FSP FAS 157-4 became effective as of the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Other than additional disclosure requirements, the FSP’s have not had an impact on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations because the Company currently has no financial instruments in inactive markets.
In June 2008, the FASB issued an FSP on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP
EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or
dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation
of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for
computing earnings per share when an entity’s capital structure includes multiple classes of common stock and
participating securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and
requires that previously reported earnings per share data be recast in financial statements issued in periods after the
effective date. The Company does not expect the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 to be significant.
49
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(FAS 162). FAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States. This statement did not change existing practices. This statement became effective on
November 15, 2008 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FAS 162
will be superseded when FAS 168 becomes effective in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP
FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. FSP FAS 142-3 allows an entity to use its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar
arrangements, adjusted for entity-specific factors, in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used to
determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. As a result, the determination of intangible asset useful lives is
now consistent with the method used to determine the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the
intangible assets, as described in other accounting principles. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. Disclosure
requirements are to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective
date. The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and are
currently not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and requires entities to provide enhanced qualitative disclosures
about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair values and amounts of gains
and losses on derivative contracts, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
agreements. The Company adopted FAS 161 as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 and provided the required
disclosures in Note 12 — Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)).
FAS 141(R) requires that the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition including the issuance of equity
securities be determined on the acquisition date; requires that all assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, contingent
consideration, contingencies, and in-process research and development costs of an acquired business be recorded at
fair value at the acquisition date; requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred; requires that
restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date; and requires that changes in
deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact
income tax expense. FAS 141(R) also broadens the definition of a business combination and expands disclosures
related to business combinations. Additionally, in April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets
Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies, which amends
FAS 141(R) and requires that acquired contingent assets and liabilities be recognized at fair value if fair value can be
reasonably estimated. If the fair value cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability will be recognized in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation
of the Amount of a Loss. FAS 141(R) and FSP 141(R)-1 will be applied prospectively to business combinations
occurring after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, except that business combinations consummated
prior to the effective date must apply FAS 141(R) income tax requirements immediately upon adoption. The impact, if
any, of FAS 141(R) and FSP 141(R)-1 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows will
depend on the extent of business combinations completed after the adoption of the standard.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,
an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 160 requires that noncontrolling interests be reported as a separate
component of equity, that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be separately identified in
the consolidated statements of income, that changes in a parent’s ownership interest be accounted for as equity transactions,
and that, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and
the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. FAS 160 will be applied prospectively,
except for presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively, as of the beginning of the
Company’s fiscal year 2010. The Company does not currently have noncontrolling interests, and therefore the adoption of
FAS 160 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of
Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (EITF 06-11). EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax
benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for
nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital. The
realized income tax benefit recognized in additional paid-in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits
available to absorb future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards. EITF 06-11 was adopted on a prospective
basis for income tax benefits on dividends declared after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2009. The adoption
of EITF 06-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
50
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 expands the use of fair value
accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under
FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure financial instruments and certain other items, which may
reduce the need to apply complex hedge accounting provisions in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings. The
fair value election is irrevocable and is generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has
similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. FAS 159 became effective as of the beginning of the
Company’s fiscal year 2009. The Company has determined that it will not elect to use fair value accounting for any
eligible items, and therefore FAS 159 will have no impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (FAS 158). FAS 158
requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or
liability in its statement of financial position, recognize through comprehensive income changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur, and measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its
funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year. At the end of fiscal year 2007, the Company adopted the
provisions of FAS 158 related to recognition of plan assets, benefit liabilities, and comprehensive income. The
Company adopted the provisions of this rule that require measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of
the year end balance sheet date for the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and it did not have a material impact on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. This rule impacts the accounting for the
Company’s unfunded noncontributory postemployment severance plans.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is only applicable to existing accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard, as
originally issued, was to be effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2009. With the issuance in
February 2008 of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the FASB approved a one-year
deferral to the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually. In
addition, the FASB has excluded leases from the scope of FAS 157 with the issuance of FSP No. FAS 157-1,
Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that
Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13.
FAS 157 will be applied prospectively. The Company’s adoption of the provisions of FAS 157 applicable to
financial instruments as of July 1, 2008, did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows. The provisions of FAS 157 applicable to non-financial assets and liabilities are
currently not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 Acquisitions
Fiscal Year 2009 Acquisition:
During fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired privately-held Genesis Electronics Manufacturing located in
Tampa, Florida. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth and diversification strategy, bringing new
customers in key target markets. The acquisition purchase price totaled $5.4 million. Assets acquired were
$7.7 million, which included $2.0 million of goodwill, and liabilities assumed were $2.3 million. Direct costs of the
acquisition were not material. Goodwill was allocated to the EMS segment of the Company. The operating results of
this acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on September 1, 2008
and excluding subsequent goodwill impairment, had an immaterial impact on the fiscal year 2009 financial results.
See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on goodwill impairment. The purchase price allocation is final.
Fiscal Year 2007 Acquisition:
On February 15, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Reptron. The operating results of this
acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.
The acquisition is included in the Company’s EMS segment and increased the Company’s capabilities and
expertise in support of the Company’s long-term strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end
industrial sectors. The acquisition included four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida; Hibbing,
Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont, California. In fiscal year 2008, pursuant to its restructuring plans, the
Company ceased operations at the Gaylord, Michigan, and Hibbing, Minnesota, facilities and transferred a majority
of the business to several of the Company’s other worldwide EMS facilities.
51
The total amount of funds required to consummate the merger and to pay fees related to the merger was
$50.9 million. The merger was funded with available cash and short-term investments. Merger funds were used to
purchase all outstanding Reptron stock for $3.8 million, repay outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest of
$17.6 million, tender senior secured notes for $22.4 million at acquisition date plus $4.8 million of senior secured
notes and accrued interest redeemed in fiscal year 2008, and pay direct acquisition costs of $2.3 million.
The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation to assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
goodwill. The acquisition resulted in $11.9 million of goodwill for the EMS segment of the Company. Goodwill of
$10.1 million is deductible for tax purposes. The Company also identified and recorded intangible assets of $0.9 million
related to customer relationships. See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for further disclosure related to goodwill and intangible assets. The purchase price allocation is final.

Note 3 Inventories
Inventories are valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 14% and 17%
of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively, including approximately 83% and 85% of the
Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The EMS segment inventories and the
remaining inventories in the Furniture segment are valued using the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market value.
Had the FIFO method been used for all inventories, income from continuing operations would have been $2.4 million
lower in fiscal year 2009, $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2008, and $0.1 million higher in fiscal year 2007. Certain
inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income from continuing
operations by $2.5 million in fiscal year 2009, $0.1 million in fiscal year 2008, and $1.1 million in fiscal year 2007.

Term of Lease
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment from continuing operations, including asset write-
downs associated with the Company’s restructuring plans, totaled, in millions, $33.9 for fiscal year 2009, $34.0 for
fiscal year 2008, and $31.7 for fiscal year 2007.
At June 30, 2009, in thousands, assets totaling $1,358 were classified as held for sale and consisted of $1,160
for a facility and land related to the Gaylord, Michigan, exited operation within the EMS segment and $198 for
equipment related to previously held timberlands. All of these assets were reported as unallocated corporate assets
for segment reporting purposes. The Company expects to sell these assets during the next 12 months.
Due to a decline in the market value of the held for sale EMS facility, the Company recognized a pre-tax
impairment loss, in thousands, of $214 during fiscal year 2009. The impairment was recorded on the Restructuring
Expense line item of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of the assets was
determined by prices for similar assets.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company decided to sell its undeveloped land holdings and timberlands using an
auction approach. The undeveloped land holdings and timberlands were included on the Other Assets line item of
the Company’s June 30, 2008 Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of the auction, the Company recognized a
pre-tax gain, in thousands, of $31,489, which was recorded on the Other General Income line item of the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, in thousands, $244 of equipment related to the timberlands was
sold during fiscal year 2009. The Company recognized an immaterial gain on the sale of this equipment.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had, in thousands, assets totaling $1,374 classified as held for sale.

Note 5 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Leases:
Operating leases from continuing operations for certain office, showroom, manufacturing facilities, land, and
equipment, which expire from fiscal year 2010 to 2056, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease
payments are, in millions, $3.4, $3.3, $2.6, $1.7, and $1.4 for the five years ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and
aggregate $2.7 million from fiscal year 2015 to the expiration of the leases in fiscal year 2056. The Company is
obligated under certain real estate leases to maintain the properties and pay real estate taxes. Certain of these leases
include renewal options and escalation clauses. Total rental expenses from continuing operations amounted to, in
millions, $6.1, $7.8, and $6.5 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no capitalized leases. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had, in
millions, $0.4 of capitalized leases for equipment.
Guarantees:
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no guarantees issued which were contingent on the future
performance of another entity. Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors, and insurance and
financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of the Company’s failure to pay its obligations to the
beneficiary. As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters
of credit totaling approximately $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The Company is not aware of circumstances
that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might
arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 with respect to the standby letters of credit. The
Company also enters into commercial letters of credit to facilitate payments to vendors and from customers.
Product Warranties:
The Company estimates product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair cost trends in
conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability in cases where
specific warranty issues become known.
Changes in the product warranty accrual during fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 were as follows:

Note 6 Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility
Long-term debt consists of long-term notes payable, which have an interest rate of 9.25%. Aggregate
maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $60, $61, $12, $14, and $15, respectively, and
aggregate $258 thereafter. Due dates for long-term debt occur in fiscal years 2011 and 2025.
The Company maintains a revolving credit facility which expires in April 2013 and provides for up to $100 million
in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $150 million at the Company’s request,
subject to participating banks’ consent. The Company uses this facility for acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the credit facility which was immaterial to the Company’s
operating results for fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007. The commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of
the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 12.5 to 15.0 basis points per annum as determined by the
Company’s leverage ratio. Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a floating rate based, at the Company’s
option, upon a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable percentage or the greater of the federal funds
rate plus an applicable percentage and the prime rate. The Company is in compliance with debt covenants requiring it to
maintain a certain interest coverage ratio, minimum net worth, and other terms and conditions.
54
The Company also maintains a separate foreign credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Thailand which is
backed by the $100 million revolving credit facility. The separate foreign credit facility is expected to be reviewed during
fiscal year 2010 for renewal. The interest rate applicable to borrowings in US dollars under the separate foreign credit
facility is charged at 0.75% per annum over the Singapore Interbank Money Market Offered Rate (SIBOR). The interest
rate on borrowings in Thai Baht under the separate foreign credit facility is charged at the prevailing market rate.
At June 30, 2009, the Company had $12.7 million of short-term borrowings outstanding. The Company
utilized a Euro currency borrowing which provides a natural currency hedge against Euro denominated inter-
company notes between the US parent and the Euro functional currency subsidiaries. The Company also had
approximately $5.0 million in letters of credit against the credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding
under the separate Thailand credit facility which is backed by the $100 million credit facility. Total availability to
borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $82.3 million at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2008, the Company
had $52.6 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.
The Company also has a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Wales, United Kingdom. The facility will
be reviewed in November 2009 and can be terminated by either the bank or the Company at any time. The facility is
comprised of an overdraft facility which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 2 million Sterling equivalent
(approximately $3.3 million US dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates) and an engagement facility of 3.5 million
Sterling equivalent (approximately $5.8 million US dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates), which can be used only for
payment of customs, duties, or value-added taxes in the event of the Company’s failure to pay its obligations. Bank
overdrafts may be deemed necessary to satisfy short-term cash needs rather than funding from intercompany sources.
The interest rate applicable to the Sterling overdraft facility is charged at 2% per annum over the Bank of England’s
Sterling Base Rate. The interest rate applicable to the engagement facility is determined by the bank at the time a drawing
request is made. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company entered into a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Poznan,
Poland, which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 6 million Euro equivalent (approximately $8.5 million
U.S. dollars at June 30, 2009 exchange rates) and is available to cover bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts may be
deemed necessary to satisfy short-term cash needs at the Company’s Poznan location rather than funding from
intercompany sources. Interest on the overdraft is charged at 1% over the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA).
This overdraft facility can be cancelled at any time by either the bank or the Company. At June 30, 2009, the
Company had no borrowings outstanding under this overdraft facility.
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rates on the Company’s short-term borrowings
outstanding under the credit facilities were 1.46% and 4.99%, respectively. Cash payments for interest on
borrowings were, in thousands, $1,807, $2,197, and $889, in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
Capitalized interest expense was not material during fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007.
Note 7 Employee Benefit Plans
Retirement Plans:
The Company has a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan in effect for substantially all domestic
employees meeting the eligibility requirements. The plan includes a 401(k) feature, thereby permitting participants
to make additional voluntary contributions on a pre-tax basis. Payments by the Company to the trusteed plan have a
five-year vesting schedule and are held for the sole benefit of participants. The Company also maintains a trusteed
defined contribution retirement plan for employees of acquired companies.
The Company maintains a supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) for executive employees which
enable them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations. The SERP is structured as a
rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy.
Company contributions for domestic employees are based on a percent of net income as determined by the
Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. There was no employer contribution to the
retirement plans during fiscal year 2009. Total expense related to employer contributions to the retirement plans was
$5.8 million for each of fiscal years 2008 and 2007.
Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans. Total expense related to
employer contributions to these foreign plans for 2009, 2008, and 2007 was, in millions, $0.7, $1.0, and $0.9,
respectively.
55
Severance Plans:
The Company maintains severance plans for all domestic employees. The plans, which were initiated at the
end of fiscal year 2007, provide severance benefits to eligible employees meeting the plans’ qualifications,
primarily involuntary termination without cause. There are no statutory requirements for the Company to contribute
to the plans, nor do employees contribute to the plans. The plans hold no assets. Benefits are paid using available
cash on hand when eligible employees meet plan qualifications for payment. Benefits are based upon an employee’s
years of service and accumulate up to certain limits specified in the plans and include both salary and medical
benefits. The components and changes in the Benefit Obligation, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(Loss), and Net Periodic Benefit Cost are as follows:

The significant increase in the benefit obligation was a result of an increase in the historical rate of severance
payments used to project future severance eligible terminations. The benefit cost in the above table includes only
normal recurring levels of severance activity, as estimated using an actuarial method and management judgment.
Unusual or nonrecurring severance actions, such as those disclosed in Note 18 — Restructuring Expense of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are expensed when incurred.
The Company amortizes prior service costs on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period
of employees that were active at the time of the plan initiation and amortizes actuarial losses on a straight-line basis
over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

Note 8 Stock Compensation Plans
On August 19, 2003, the Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2003
Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s Share Owners on October 21, 2008. Under the 2003 Plan,
2,500,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for restricted stock, restricted share units, unrestricted share
grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, and stock
appreciation rights for grant to officers and other key employees of the Company and to members of the Board of
Directors who are not employees. The 2003 Plan is a ten-year plan. The Company also has stock options
outstanding under a former stock incentive plan, which is described below. The pre-tax compensation cost that was
charged against income from continuing operations for all of the plans was $2.1 million, $4.0 million, and
$4.9 million in fiscal year 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The total income tax benefit from continuing
operations for stock compensation arrangements was $0.9 million, $1.6 million, and $1.9 million in fiscal year
2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The Company generally uses treasury shares for fulfillment of option exercises,
issuance of performance shares, and conversion of restricted share units.
Performance Shares:
The Company awards performance shares to officers and other key employees under the 2003 Plan. Under
these awards, a number of shares will be granted to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable
bonus percentage calculated under the Company’s profit sharing incentive bonus plan as applied to a total potential
share award made and approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee. Performance shares are vested
when issued shortly after the end of the fiscal year in which the performance measurement period is complete and
are issued as Class A and Class B common shares. Certain outstanding performance shares are applicable to
performance measurement periods in future fiscal years and will be measured at fair value when the performance
targets are established in future fiscal years. The contractual life of performance shares ranges from one to five
years. If a participant is not employed by the Company on the date of issuance, the performance share award is
forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other
circumstances described in the Company’s employment policy. Additionally, to the extent performance conditions
are not fully attained, performance shares are forfeited.

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to
performance shares, based on the latest estimated attainment of performance goals. That cost is expected to be
recognized over annual performance periods ending August 2009 through August 2013, with a weighted average
vesting period of 1.6 years. The fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of award,
reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on
outstanding performance share awards. The weighted average grant date fair value was $10.37; $12.16; and $17.42
for performance share awards granted in fiscal year 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. During fiscal year 2009,
2008, and 2007, respectively, 109,197; 201,598; and 150,651 performance shares vested at a fair value of
$1.3 million, $3.4 million, and $1.8 million. The number of shares presented in the above table, the amounts
of unrecognized compensation, and the weighted average period include performance shares awarded that are
applicable to future performance measurement periods and will be measured at fair value when the performance
targets are established in future fiscal years.
Restricted Share Units:
Nonvested Restricted Share Units (RSU) awarded to officers and other key employees are currently
outstanding under the 2003 Plan. RSUs vest five years after the date of award. Upon vesting, the outstanding
number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of Class A
and Class B common stock. If the employment of a holder of an RSU terminates before the RSU has vested for any
reason other than death, retirement at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances
described in the Company’s employment policy, the RSU and accumulated dividends will be forfeited.

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $0.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to
nonvested RSU compensation arrangements awarded under the 2003 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized
over a weighted average period of 0.6 years. The fair value of RSU awards is based on the stock price at the date of
award. The total fair value of RSU awards vested during fiscal year 2009, 2008, and 2007 was, in thousands, $4,137,
$233, and $24, respectively.
Unrestricted Share Grants:
Under the 2003 Plan, unrestricted shares may be granted to participants as consideration for service to the
Company. Unrestricted share grants do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other
restrictions. The fair value of unrestricted shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award. During fiscal
year 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, the Company granted a total of 29,545; 13,186; and 7,668 unrestricted
shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $6.45, $13.16, and $24.53, for a total fair value
of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million. These shares were issued to members of the Board of Directors as
compensation for director’s fees, as a result of directors’ elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash
payment, and to officers of the Company.
58
Stock Options:
The Company has stock options outstanding under a former stock incentive plan. The 1996 Stock Incentive
Program, which was approved by the Company’s Share Owners on October 22, 1996, allowed the issuance of
incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance share awards to
officers and other key employees of the Company and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees.
The 1996 Stock Incentive Program will continue to have options outstanding through fiscal year 2013. The
1996 Directors’ Stock Compensation and Option Plan, available to all members of the Board of Directors, was
approved by the Company’s Share Owners on October 22, 1996. Under the terms of that plan, Directors electing to
receive all, or a portion, of their fees in the form of Company stock were also granted a number of stock options
equal to 50% of the number of shares received for compensation of fees. All outstanding shares under the Directors’
Stock Compensation and Option Plan expired during fiscal year 2009. No shares remain available for new grants
under the Company’s prior stock option plans.
There were no stock option grants awarded during fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007. For outstanding awards,
the fair value at the date of the grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options
outstanding are exercisable one to five years after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock
options are forfeited when employment terminates, except in the case of retirement at age 62 or older, death,
permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in the Company’s employment policy.

No options were exercised during fiscal years 2009 and 2008. The total intrinsic value of options exercised
during fiscal year 2007 was $5.8 million. The value of existing shares held by employees was used to exercise stock
options. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $1.9 million for fiscal
year 2007.
Note 9 Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Income tax
benefits associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $4,582 expire from fiscal year 2013 to 2029. Income
tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $3,506, expire from fiscal year 2016 to 2022.

Cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, were in thousands, $2,848, $8,456, and $14,599 in fiscal years
2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
In 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48
requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more
likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted the
provisions of FIN 48 on July 1, 2007, the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year. Upon the adoption of FIN 48 on
July 1, 2007, the Company recognized a $5.8 million increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits including
interest and penalties. The increase was accounted for as a reduction to the July 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings
in the amount of $0.7 million and an increase to deferred tax assets of $5.1 million. The total liability for
unrecognized tax benefits totaled $6.4 million as of July 1, 2007.

[1] The $4.7 million reduction during fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to the IRS approving Form 3115
Application for Change in Accounting Method. The approval of Form 3115 eliminated the need for an unrecognized
tax benefit liability. The reduction in the liability resulted in a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax assets.

Non-operating expense, respectively, under the Other Income (Expense) category on the Consolidated Statements
of Income. Interest and penalties recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were, in
thousands, $10 and $325 income, respectively.
The Company, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax
returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to any significant
U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2006. The Company is subject to various
state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after June 30, 2002 and various foreign
jurisdictions for years after June 30, 2003. The Company does not expect the change in the amount of unrecognized
tax benefits in the next 12 months to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of
the Company.
Note 10 Common Stock
On a fiscal year basis, shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled to an additional $0.02 per share dividend
more than the dividends paid on Class A Common Stock, provided that dividends are paid on the Company’s
Class A Common Stock. The owners of both Class A and Class B Common Stock are entitled to share pro-rata,
irrespective of class, in the distribution of the Company’s available assets upon dissolution.
Owners of Class B Common Stock are entitled to elect, as a class, one member of the Company’s Board of
Directors. In addition, owners of Class B Common Stock are entitled to full voting powers, as a class, with respect to
any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the Company’s fixed assets, or dissolution of the Company. Otherwise, except as provided by statute with respect to
certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, the owners of Class B Common Stock have no voting rights,
and the entire voting power is vested in the Class A Common Stock, which has one vote per share. The Habig
families own directly or share voting power in excess of 50% of the Class A Common Stock of Kimball
International, Inc. The owner of a share of Class A Common Stock may, at their option, convert such share into
one share of Class B Common Stock at any time.
62
If dividends are not paid on shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock for a period of thirty-six
consecutive months, or if at any time the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding is less
than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A and Class B Common Stock, then all
shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically have the same rights and privileges as the Class A Common
Stock, with full and equal voting rights and with equal rights to receive dividends as and if declared by the Board of
Directors.
During fiscal year 2008, cash payments for repurchases of Class B Common Stock were $24.8 million. With
these repurchases, the Company completed a previously authorized share repurchase program. Subsequent to the
completion of the previously authorized share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized a plan which
allows for the repurchase of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Note 11 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The provisions of FAS 157 were effective for the Company as of July 1, 2008, however, the FASB deferred the
effective date of FAS 157 until the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010, as it relates to fair value
measurement requirements for non-financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. Accordingly, the Company adopted FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis at July 1, 2008. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The fair value framework as established in FAS 157 requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into
three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most
reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three
levels are defined as follows:
(cid:129) Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
(cid:129) Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
(cid:129) Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing
the asset or liability.

There were no changes in the Company’s valuation techniques or inputs used to measure fair values on a
recurring basis as a result of adopting FAS 157.
Disclosure of Other Financial Instruments
In addition to the methods and assumptions used to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in
the Fair Value Measurements section above, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of financial instruments as required by SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial
Instruments. There were no changes in the methods or significant assumptions used in estimating fair value for
the year ended June 30, 2009.
Other financial instruments contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets where the carrying amount
approximates fair value:
Assets
Liabilities
Certain cash and cash equivalents . . . . . . . . . . . . Accounts payable
Receivables . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Borrowings under credit facilities
Other assets not recorded at fair value . . . . . . . . Dividends payable
Accrued expenses
The fair value estimate for long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was estimated using a discounted cash
flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates adjusted for the Company’s non-performance risk. There
was an immaterial difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt as of June 30,
2009 and 2008.

Note 12 Derivative Instruments
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
(FAS 161). FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), and requires entities to provide enhanced qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair values and amounts of gains and losses on
derivative contracts, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Company
adopted FAS 161 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009 and applied the new disclosure requirements prospectively.
The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in
the normal course of its business. The Company’s primary means of managing this exposure is to utilize natural hedges,
such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques do
not fully offset currency risk, the Company uses derivative instruments with the objective of reducing the residual
exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market
exposure include the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the
underlying exposure is committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative
instruments are only utilized for risk management purposes and are not used for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company uses forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency
exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. As of June 30, 2009, the
Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts to hedge currencies against the U.S. dollar in the
aggregate notional amount of $13.3 million and to hedge currencies against the Euro in the aggregate notional
amount of 31.0 million EUR. The notional amount is an indicator of the volume of derivative activities but is not an
indicator of the potential gain or loss on the derivatives.
In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may cease to meet the
criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, the Company may either
purchase a forward contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge or may retain the hedge until it
matures if the hedge continues to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of
foreign currency denominated liabilities.
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments is recognized on the balance sheet as a derivative asset or
liability. When derivatives are settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability is relieved and cash flow
is impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that meet the criteria of hedging instruments under
FAS 133, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument are initially recorded net of related
tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), a component of Share Owners’ Equity, and are
subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction is recognized in
earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative gain or loss is reported in the Non-operating income or expense
line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income immediately. The gain or loss associated with derivative
instruments that cease to meet the criteria for hedging under FAS 133 is also reported in the Non-operating income
or expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income immediately.
Based on fair values as of June 30, 2009, the Company estimates that $7.1 million of pre-tax derivative losses
deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) will be reclassified into earnings, along with the
earnings effects of related forecasted transactions, within the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. Losses on forward
exchange contracts are generally offset by gains in operating costs in the income statement when the underlying
hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Because gains or losses on forward contracts fluctuate partially based
on currency spot rates, the future effect on earnings of the cash flow hedges alone is not determinable, but in
conjunction with the underlying hedged transactions, the result is expected to be a decline in currency risk. The
maximum length of time the Company had hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows was 15 and
27 months as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
See Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information regarding the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and Note 17 — Comprehensive
Income of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount and changes in derivative gains and losses
deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Note 13 Short-Term Investments
The Company’s short-term investment portfolio consists of available-for-sale securities which is comprised of
exempt securities issued by municipalities (“Municipal Securities”) which can be in the form of General Obligation
Bonds, Revenue Bonds, Tax Anticipation Notes, Revenue Anticipation Notes, Bond Anticipation Notes,
pre-refunded (by U.S. Govt. or State and Local Govt.) bonds, and short-term putable bonds. The Company’s
investment policy dictates that Municipal Securities must be investment grade quality.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. See Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of availa-
ble-for-sale securities. The amortized cost basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums
amortized over the life of the security. Unrealized losses on debt securities are recognized in earnings when a
company has an intent to sell or is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the debt security
has incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax related effect as a
component of Share Owners’ Equity. Municipal Securities mature within a four-year period.

Realized gains and losses are reported in Other Income (Expense) category of the Consolidated Statements of
Income. The cost of each individual security was used in computing the realized gains and losses. During fiscal year
2007, the Company also recorded, in thousands, $49 of other-than-temporary impairment.
67
The Company maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) for executive
employees. The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to
creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. The Company recognizes SERP investment assets on the balance sheet at
current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the balance sheet representing the Company’s
obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and
accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income. Adjustments made to revalue the
SERP liability are also recognized in income and exactly offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets.
The change in net unrealized holding gains and (losses) at June 30, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was, in thousands,
($2,739), ($2,385), and $2,939, respectively. SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:

Note 15 Segment and Geographic Area Information
Management organizes the Company into segments based upon differences in products and services offered in
each segment. The segments and their principal products and services are as follows: The EMS segment provides
engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of
industries globally. The EMS segment focuses on electronic assemblies that have high durability requirements and
are sold on a contract basis and produced to customers’ specifications. The Company currently sells primarily to
customers in the medical, automotive, industrial controls, and public safety industries. The Furniture segment
provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company’s family of brand names.
Included in the EMS segment are sales to one major customer. Sales to Bayer AG affiliates totaled, in millions,
$149.5, $149.9, and $198.9 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, representing 12%, 11%, and 15% of
consolidated net sales, respectively, for such periods.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements with additional explanation of segment
allocations as follows. Corporate assets and operating costs are allocated to the segments based on the extent
to which each segment uses a centralized function, where practicable. However, certain common costs have been
allocated among segments less precisely than would be required for standalone financial information prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Unallocated corporate
assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and other assets not allocated to segments.
Unallocated corporate income from continuing operations consists of income not allocated to segments for
purposes of evaluating segment performance, such as the gain on the sale of the Company’s undeveloped land
holdings and timberlands, and includes income from corporate investments and other non-operational items. Sales
between the Furniture segment and EMS segment are not material.
The Company evaluates segment performance based upon several financial measures, although the two most
common include economic profit, which incorporates a segment’s cost of capital when evaluating financial
performance, and income from continuing operations. Income from continuing operations is reported for each
segment as it is the measure most consistent with the measurement principles used in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
The Company aggregates multiple operating segments into each reportable segment. The aggregated operating
segments have similar economic characteristics and meet the other aggregation criteria required by SFAS 131,
Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

products are shipped to the United Kingdom, and the customer takes possession of the product in the United
Kingdom. It is not practicable to provide the United Kingdom net sales for prior years because the product
shipment destination occurred throughout Europe, but no individual country had a significant share of net sales
in relation to total net sales.

Note 16 Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed using the two-class common stock method due to the dividend preference of
Class B Common Stock. Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus
the assumed issuance of common shares and related payment of assumed dividends for all potentially dilutive
securities. Earnings per share of Class A and Class B Common Stock are as follows:

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate
production of select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation is expected to reduce man-
ufacturing costs and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and employee
costs. The consolidation of these manufacturing departments resulted in more efficient use of manufacturing space
and enabled the Company to sell one of its Indiana facilities. The consolidation was substantially complete by the
end of fiscal year 2009. The pre-tax charges related to the consolidation activities were approximately, in millions,
$0.2 consisting of $0.4 of severance and other employee costs, $0.6 gain on the sale of a facility, $0.2 of property
and equipment asset impairment, and $0.2 of other consolidation costs.
European Consolidation Plan:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive
electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. The Company
presently has an operation in Poznan. The Company successfully completed the move of production from Longford,
Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during the fiscal year 2009 second quarter. As part of the plan, the
Company will also consolidate its EMS facilities located in Bridgend, Wales, and Poznan, Poland, into a new larger
facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company’s margins in the very competitive EMS market.
Construction of the new, larger facility in Poland is complete with limited production to begin early in the
Company’s fiscal year 2010. The Company intends to sell the existing Poland facility and real estate. The plan is
being executed in stages with a projected completion date of December 2011. The Company currently estimates that
the pre-tax charges related to the consolidation activities will be approximately, in millions, $20.7 consisting of
$19.1 of severance and other employee costs, $0.3 of property and equipment asset impairment, $0.8 of lease exit
costs, and $0.5 of other exit costs.

Note 19 Discontinued Operations
Fiscal Year 2007 Discontinued Operations:
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of wood rear
projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands within the Furniture segment, which affected the Company’s
Juarez, Mexico, operation. With the exit, the Company no longer has continuing involvement with the production of
PTV cabinets and stands. Production at the Juarez facility ceased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, and
all inventory has been sold. Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment were
complete as of June 30, 2007. Beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the year-to-date financial results
associated with the Mexican operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations, and all
prior periods were restated. Their operating results and gains (losses) on disposal are presented on the Loss from
Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company utilized available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of
impaired fixed assets. The costs shown below related to the exit of PTV cabinet and stand production at the Juarez
facility are included in discontinued operations and those costs related to the building lease and other costs after
production of PTV cabinets and stands ceased are included in continuing operations. There were no charges related
to exit activities at the Juarez facility during fiscal year 2009. Pre-tax charges related to exit activities at the Juarez
facility during fiscal years 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

Item 9 — Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A — Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of those
controls and procedures performed as of June 30, 2009, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations adopted pursuant
thereto, the Company included a report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal
control over financial reporting as part of this report. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 has been audited by the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm. Management’s report and the independent registered public accounting firm’s
attestation report are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements under the captions
entitled “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and “Report of Inde-
pendent Registered Public Accounting Firm” and are incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B — Other Information
In lieu of filing a Form 8-K under Item 5.02 “Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers,” the Company is providing the
following disclosure in this Form 10-K as the Form 10-K is being filed within the four business day reporting
requirement for the event.
On August 27, 2009, the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
approved a decrease to the base salary of the Company’s Chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”), Douglas
A. Habig. The Compensation and Governance Committee has historically and independently set the compensation
of the Chairman, because Mr. Habig, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, remained an employee of
the Company since becoming Chairman, and receives no director fees as an employee Chairman under the Board of
Directors’ fee structure. As disclosed in the Company’s 2008 Proxy Statement, the Compensation and Governance
Committee began a process in 2007 of examining and clarifying the proper role and duties of the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer such that the Chairman focuses on the effective operation of the Board of Directors while
the Chief Executive Officer performs his duties in regard to the executive management of the Company. Continuing
this examination at its August 2009 meeting, the Compensation and Governance Committee determined that a
further adjustment to the Chairman’s compensation was warranted. The Compensation and Governance Committee
unanimously approved a salary decrease from the current annualized base of $257,400 to $170,040 which will take
effect on September 7, 2009.
