2010 Annual Report
60Years
For a company to celebrate an anniversary of 60
years is a great achievement. It means that several
generations of leaders and employees have strived
to create and manufacture products for many
different customers. It also means the communities
in which they live and work have benefited from
their effort and commitment. And while most of
those years have seen great strides in growth and
change, some of them have been challenging.
Through it all, the overriding tenants of our
Company beliefs and values have remained constant.
And that, we believe, is why we have reached this
milestone. While no one can predict the future,
one thing is certain, our commitment will remain
steadfast as we pursue even bigger milestones for
generations to come.
To Our Share Owners:
Your Company reached a sixty year
milestone during 2010. During the
last six decades, your Company has
evolved, changed and grown beyond
the dreams and goals of the original
founders as the Company grew from
a single operation in the United States
Midwest, to an international, public
company with businesses in China,
Thailand, Poland, Wales-UK, Mexico
and 13 manufacturing facilities in
the United States. Throughout this
corporate lifespan, there has been
a constant focus on long-term
shareowner value, on sustaining the
vision of your Company as a partner
with its customers and suppliers,
its employees, and its communities.
Despite ups and downs in the
economy and in our markets, your
Company has also sustained a history
of growth.
Over the previous twenty-four
months, the global economy has
seen recession, restructure and
realignment. There has evolved a New
Order, a New Normal, in the economy
throughout the world. The impacts
and ongoing effects are dramatic.
Your Company has been challenged,
along with competitors and customers
around the globe. Several competitors
have been severely challenged during
this economic turmoil, with some
even shutting down operations. The
resulting reduction in excess global
capacity is a positive for business
going forward, although there
remains significant excess capacity in
our markets which in the short-term
is putting pressure on pricing and
margins.
Navigating through the changes
brought on by this “new normal”
economy, we are sustaining our
core, our package of value that
our customers rely on for world
class products and services. We
have successfully managed through
conditions to retain our people, our
human talent, the very basis of our
strength. We have demonstrated
aptitude in conserving our resources
in order to preserve our options for
actions taken on our terms. We have
prudently invested in enhancing our
capabilities and even expanding our
package of value during the economic
slowdown. We have increased
our marketing efforts to put your
Company in a stronger position when
the general economy improves and
our target markets rebound. Many
competitors did not have the financial
balance sheet strength to make
these types of investments, but we
were able to make these investments
and will provide your Company a
competitive advantage as we enter
our 7th decade.
Financial results for fiscal year 2010
reflect the continued and lingering
slowdown in demand within our
furniture markets as the electronics
industry began to improve during
the year. Our diversification was
extremely beneficial this past year.
During fiscal 2010, as the furniture
markets struggled for growth, we
continued our priority of focus on
cash preservation and cost innovation,
to maintain our balance sheet
strength and the long-term financial
health of the Company. Order rates
in both the Furniture and Electronic
Manufacturing Services (EMS)
segments began to increase slightly
in the third and fourth quarters,
providing some evidence of a rebound
in the general economy. Despite
positive signs of increased activity and
indicators of economic stabilization,
we have continued to deal with
uncertainty and anxiety in the market,
especially in light of the sovereign
debt crisis in Europe.
Consolidated Net Sales for the fiscal
year were $1,122,808,000, which
was a 7% decline compared to prior
fiscal year sales. This year saw a
significant shift in sales mix to the
EMS segment, making it the far
larger portion of Kimball consolidated
sales. Net sales in the EMS segment
were up, primarily due to 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. Net sales
in the Furniture segment were down
27%, reflecting weak markets for
both office and hospitality furniture.
Office furniture sales declined due
to high unemployment and the
inability of many companies to
secure credit and funding to grow
their businesses. Sales of hospitality
furniture experienced a much steeper
decline due to reduced travel and
similar credit constraints on hotel
operators who decided in many cases
to defer their furniture refurbishment
cycles. We are optimistic that when
employment statistics improve and
businesses are able to more easily
obtain financing, order activity should
significantly improve.
Gross Profit as a percent of sales was
down reflecting the shift in mix to a
greater percentage of your Company
being comprised of the electronics
operations, since electronics tends
to have a lower margin than
furniture products. The gross profit
as a percentage of sales of furniture
operations improved slightly as
compared to fiscal year 2009,
despite intense price competition as
competitors priced projects to keep
their factories running this past year.
Our efforts to remove costs helped
to offset the loss of leverage of our
fixed cost structure caused by reduced
sales levels. In the EMS segment, we
experienced significant improvement
in gross profit as a percentage of sales
due to labor efficiency improvements
and improved fixed cost leverage
associated with the increased sales.
Encouragingly, both segments saw
improved quote activity in the last
two quarters of the fiscal year, but
at highly competitive conditions with
resulting thin margins.
As mentioned last year, we have
been working on consolidating our
European operations from 3 sites into
a new facility near Poznan, Poland.
We have already transferred work
from an Ireland facility to Poland
and are presently in process of
transferring our Wales, UK operations
to Poland. Additionally, we are still
partially operating in our old facility
in Poznan and will have all operations
transferred to the new facility by mid-
fiscal year 2012. When completed,
this consolidation will lower our
operating costs, but planned
cost inefficiencies related to this
consolidation hindered our fiscal year
2010 results, and will have a lesser
effect on fiscal year 2011.
Net Income for fiscal year 2010 was
$10.8 million, or $0.29 per Class B
diluted share. These results reflect
numerous actions, both large and
small, taken as we continued to
focus our priorities to remove costs,
eliminate bureaucracy, and improve
profitability in spite of ongoing
economic challenges.
Careful use of capital has guided
decisions in both segments this
year. The $35.4 million in capital
investments made this year were
primarily related to construction
of the new Poland electronics
facility, and select improvements to
manufacturing equipment at other
operational locations. Our investments
in ultraviolet (UV) finishing technology
for our wood casegoods facilities
reflect our ongoing commitment to
responsible environmental actions and
improving the sustainability of our
products. Such investments, made
now, will serve to strengthen the
Company’s overall capabilities and
position our brands to capitalize on
opportunities as the economy and
markets improve and recover.
Cash preservation and aggressive cost
containment continue as top priorities
throughout Kimball operations. The
Company’s cash position decreased,
however, our balance sheet remains
strong, with virtually no long-term
debt. As of June 30, the Company’s
net cash position stood at $67.8
million, compared to $88.6 million
at the end of last fiscal year with the
decline primarily caused by the new
Poland facility.
Retaining our core, our capabilities
and our people, has been a key
focus and priority. To sustain our
corporate vision and achieve our
strategic results, we are committed
2 Kimball 2010 www.kimball.com
to retaining, hiring and developing
people who are capable and
dedicated to delivering exceptional
growth and economic profit.
We know that uncertainty still
clouds the economic outlook and
obscures the business horizon.
During the past year, the economy
has impacted our markets and
brought many companies to their
knees, but it has failed to cloud our
vision or dampen our conviction to
reach our goals. We have sustained
our vision of success.
Our Company history and our
corporate culture sustain us. Our core
of talent and capabilities strengthens
us. Our Company vision to build
long-term Share Owner value and
success for our customers, employees,
suppliers, and communities does
not waver. Our commitment to
sustainable environmental actions,
social responsibility in our global
communities, and shared prosperity
grows along with our focus to remain
a dynamic, growing company.

past year, we encourage you to

Celebrating 60 years
of building success
Envisioning
Celebrating
Honoring
Envisioning the type of company that
could build success for its customers, for its
employees, for its business partners, and
its communities, our founders began the
Kimball story sixty years ago.
Our founders envisioned a broader market
for the types of products that could be
made in our manufacturing plants. They
envisioned a company that could flex
and adapt to changes in those markets,
to evolving customer demands, without
being bound to specific products. They
envisioned an adaptable company,
responsive to servicing customers’ needs.
They achieved that vision.
Envisioning the type of company we want
to be to our customers, employees, partners,
share owners, and to our communities
continues to be Kimball’s focus.
4 Kimball 2010 www.kimball.com
Honoring our past, we look forward
to our future, as we celebrate a year of
anniversaries.
Acknowledging these milestone years in our
company history, we recognize that we are a
vastly different company than we were sixty
years ago. We have adapted and evolved.
We have expanded our package of value.
Honoring the generations of dedicated
employees, current and past, who have
made important contributions to our
story, we also honor those who celebrated
milestone anniversaries of their service in the
past year. Their dedication and efforts have
made us the company we are today.
We honor all those who have contributed
to our collective success. Our employees,
our share owners, our suppliers and
dealer partners, our customers, and our
communities have all played major roles in
the Kimball story.
Honoring the evolution of products,
technology and changes to society reminds
us of how far we have come over the past
six decades. We reflect, we share memories
and smiles, but we keep looking forward.
Honoring our past, we do not dwell there.
Our focus is on the future. Our vision is on
building success.
Celebrating our 60 years in business serves
as a reminder of the many changes we
have witnessed over the decades, to our
products, our markets, and our Company.
We look back with pride in our ability to
adapt, to respond, to change, and to grow
with those forces over time.
Our products have evolved and changed
significantly over the years. Although we
no longer make television cabinets or
pianos, we have become a leader in both
the electronics and furniture industries.
We are no longer the vertically-integrated
manufacturing model of the 1950s; we
have reinvented ourselves into the virtually-
integrated global business partner of the
21st century.
Celebrating the last six decades also
serves to remind us of our long history of
achievements as we keep our focus on
our future growth. We have won valued
awards from customers for service and
quality. We have introduced thousands of
new products and successfully transitioned
from dying markets into new opportunities.
We have adapted. We have expanded our
manufacturing capabilities, invested in new
technology, improved our operations, and
increased our environmental stewardship.
Most importantly, we have continued to be
a profitable, financially strong company.
Celebrating our shared story, we instill pride
and strengthen our corporate culture. Our
story is a reminder of our strength and
longevity, of our progress and potential,
of opportunities and reward, and of our
commitment and shared success.

what we can achieve.

our core is evidenced by the number of
employees who have celebrated their
20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 and even 55 year
anniversaries with our Company. We seek
to be not only the supplier of choice, but
also the investment of choice, the partner of
choice and the employer of choice.
By retaining our core values and core talent,
we are retaining our “winning attitude.”

embody performance, to foster growth, to
build success.
Inspiring people to do their very best, to try
out new ideas, to develop new processes
and products, to focus their efforts, to step
out of their comfort zones and take a risk, to
accept new challenges, these are the traits
that have built success for our Company.
Kimball International has grown from a small
town factory into a global manufacturer.
Our 60-year history has been built upon a
company culture that inspires us to succeed,
that motivates us to be effective, sustains us
in hard times, and enables us to celebrate a
history of continuous growth.
This same culture inspires our future success.
Inspiring our future means preserving our
company attitude, our focus on building
success, staying true to our corporate
Guiding Principles, and remaining focused
on our customers’ needs, our market
sectors and our business strategies. It
means motivating our people to reach their
greatest potential. Built upon an inspired
sense of purpose, we are driven to do more,
to become more than we were yesterday.
Our work is not done. We are confident and
prepared to add more chapters to our story.
Envisioning the future, we are inspiring even
greater success.

Segments
Electronic Manufacturing Services
Overview
The Company began producing electronic assemblies, circuit boards, and wiring harnesses for electronic
organs and keyboards in 1961 and has since grown and evolved with the EMS industry. The Company’s current
focus is on electronic assemblies that have high durability, quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance
requirements including 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) production and testing of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs);
(cid:129) industrialization and automation of the manufacturing processes;
(cid:129) product and process validation and qualification;
(cid:129) testing of products under a series of harsh conditions;
(cid:129) assembly and packaging of electronic and other related products; and
(cid:129) complete product life cycle management.
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 (Genesis) of Tampa, Florida. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth and diversification
strategy, bringing new customers in the Company’s key medical and industrial control 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 near Poznan, Poland. The
Company previously had one operation in Poznan. Construction of a new, larger facility in Poland is complete and
limited production has begun. The Company successfully completed the move of production from Longford,
Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2010, the Company completed
the sale of the existing Poland facility and land. The Company is leasing back the recently sold Poland facility until
all production is moved to the new facility near Poznan, and the lease expires during the Company’s fiscal year
2011. As part of the plan, the Company is also consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom,
and Poznan, Poland, into the new facility near Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company’s margins in the
very competitive EMS market. The plan is being executed in stages with a projected completion date of mid-fiscal
year 2012.
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. This plan was substantially complete during fiscal year 2008 with the remaining items completed during
fiscal year 2009.
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 man-
ufacturing 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 Compa-
ny’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.

The Genesis acquisition is discussed in further detail in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 2 — Acquisition of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. Additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring activities is located 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 2010 net sales to automotive industry customers approximated
one-third of the Company’s EMS segment net sales.
Locations
As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s EMS segment consisted of nine manufacturing facilities with two located
in Poland and one located in each of Indiana, Florida, California, China, Mexico, Thailand, and Wales,
United Kingdom. Two of the Company’s EMS facilities which are located in Wales and Poland will be consolidated
into the new, larger facility in Poland with a projected completion by mid-fiscal year 2012. The Company
continually assesses under-utilized capacity and evaluates its operations as to the most optimum capacity and
service levels by geographic region. 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
becomes established and matures. The segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall
excess capacity position in the EMS industry. 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 17th largest global EMS provider for calendar year 2009 by Manufacturing Market Insider in the
March 2010 edition.
5
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. As
demand within the EMS industry increases, the availability of components used in certain products manufactured
by the EMS segment is a concern. Many suppliers continue to be cautious regarding increasing their capacity and as
a result, component shortages are occurring. During fiscal year 2010, the EMS segment experienced shortages of
select components; however, the shortages did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations or financial
results. The impact could become material if the shortages continue or become more severe.
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:

24% 23% 21%
The Company’s sales to Bayer AG are expected to begin to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as
the Company’s manufacturing contract with Bayer AG reaches end-of-life. Margins on the Bayer AG product are
generally lower than the Company’s other EMS products. The nature of the contract business is such that start-up of
new customers to replace expiring customers occurs frequently. The Company also continues to focus on
diversification of the EMS segment customer base.
Furniture
Overview
Since 1950, the Company has produced wood furniture. 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, collaborative workstations, contemporary cubicle systems, 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, entertainment 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.
6
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 was substantially completed
during fiscal year 2009 with the remaining items completed during fiscal year 2010. The consolidation has reduced
manufacturing costs and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and
employee costs.
As discussed under “Segments — Electronic Manufacturing Services” 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 adminis-
trative 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 was substantially completed during fiscal year 2008 with the remaining items completed during fiscal
year 2009.
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 cabinets (PTV) and stands
within the Furniture segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company’s Juarez, Mexico, operation. The
discontinued operation is discussed in further detail in Note 19 — Discontinued Operation of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.
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 completed during fiscal year 2008.
Additional information regarding the Company’s restructuring activities is located in Note 18 — Restructuring
Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Locations
The Company’s furniture products as of June 30, 2010 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.
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 select finished
goods and components 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.
7
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
office furniture as well as most of the Company’s own lines of hospitality furniture. The Company also produces
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 from customers 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 furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase, Inc., Herman Miller, Inc.,
Knoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc., and HNI Corporation and several other privately-owned furniture manufacturers.
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 and nonwood furniture.
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.

Definition, Skye, WaveWorks, Senator, Prevail, Eloquence, Hum. Minds at Work, and Pura
Trademarks: President and IntegraClear
Patent: Traxx
The Company also owns other patents and trademarks and has certain other trademark and patent applications
pending, which in the Company’s opinion are not significant to its business. Patents owned by the Company expire
at various times depending on the patent’s date of issuance.
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, six 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, 2012, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain certain forward-looking statements. These are statements made by management,
using their best business judgment based upon facts known at the time of the statements or reasonable estimates,
about future results, plans, or future performance and business of the Company. Such statements involve risk and
uncertainty, and their ultimate validity is affected by a number of factors, both specific and general. They should not
be construed as a guarantee that such results or events will, in fact, occur or be realized. The statements may be
identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,”
“forecasts,” and similar expressions. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results
to differ from expected or historical results. Additional information regarding risk factors is available in Item 1A —

10
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 continue to 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 continue to be
impacted by the changing regulatory environment and the credit market issues;
(cid:129) white-collar unemployment rates;
(cid:129) commercial property vacancy rates;
(cid:129) new office construction and refurbishment rates;
(cid:129) new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates;
(cid:129) automotive industry fluctuations;
(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.
Market conditions have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company’s operating
results. The Company’s key strategies remain intact, but it 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 any 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 state
of the credit markets drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of customers resulting in a greater risk of
uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company intensely monitors its receivables and
related credit risks. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on the Company’s profitability.
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, sales to Bayer AG
affiliates accounted for 15%, 12%, and 11% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008,
respectively. The Company’s sales to Bayer AG are expected to begin to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2011 as the Company’s manufacturing contract with Bayer AG reaches end-of-life. Margins on the Bayer AG
product are generally lower than the Company’s other EMS products. The continuing success of the Company is
dependent upon replacing expiring contract customers/programs with new customers/programs. 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 can provide no assurance that it will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which
could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. A reduction of
government spending on furniture could also have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales levels.
11
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete success-
fully. 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 over-capacity. Numerous manufacturers
within the EMS industry 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. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, 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. 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. In addition, 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. 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’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. Supplier capacity reductions within the EMS industry during the recession
have lengthened lead times and have driven component shortages and/or component allocations and could continue
to do so as the supply chain slowly ramps up. Maintaining strong relationships with key suppliers of components
critical to the manufacturing process is essential. 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. 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 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’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. In
addition, the EMS segment has historically operated at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment,
and if the sales mix continues to trend toward the EMS segment, the Company’s consolidated gross profit margin
will be negatively impacted. 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.
12
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 near Poznan, Poland. The Company previously had one operation in Poznan.
Construction of a new, larger facility in Poland is complete and limited production has begun. The Company
successfully completed the move of production from Longford, Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during
fiscal year 2009. As part of the plan, the Company is also consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United
Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland, into the new facility near Poznan, with a projected final completion of the
consolidation by mid-fiscal year 2012. 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.
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.
13
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.
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 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
preparation 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.
Changes in financial accounting standards may affect the Company’s financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is considering various proposed rule
changes. The SEC is considering adopting rules that would require U.S. issuers to prepare their financial statements
contained in SEC filings in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The implemen-
tation of new accounting standards or changes to U.S. GAAP could adversely impact the Company’s financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.
14
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 new U.S. tax legislation that, if adopted, could adversely affect the Company’s tax rate.
A failure to comply with the financial 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
financial covenants. The Company believes the most significant covenants under its credit facility are minimum net
worth and interest coverage ratio. More detail on these financial covenants is discussed in Item 7 — Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had
no short-term borrowings under its credit facilities and had total cash of $67.8 million, defined as cash, cash
equivalents, and short-term investments. In the future, a default on the financial 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.
A failure to successfully implement information technology solutions could adversely affect the Company.
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 non-disclosure 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 contem-
plated 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
its customers in the 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.
15
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. In addition, the increased
prevalence of global warming issues may result in new regulations that may negatively impact the Company. 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.
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 may 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, 2010 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.
16
Imposition of government regulations 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. In addition, the Company imports a portion of its wood furniture products
and is thus subject to an antidumping tariff on wooden bedroom furniture supplied from China. Although the impact
to the Company of the tariff rates since the imposition of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review has not been
material, the tariffs are subject to review and could result in retroactive and prospective tariff rate increases which
could have an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Healthcare reform legislation in the United States could adversely impact the Company’s operating
costs. Healthcare reform legislation enacted and being considered by Congress and state legislatures may have an
impact on the Company’s business. Under the healthcare reform legislation, the federal government is expected to:
(cid:129) assume a greater role in the healthcare system;
(cid:129) expand healthcare coverage in the United States;
(cid:129) mandate basic healthcare benefits; and
(cid:129) impose regulations on both businesses that provide or do not provide healthcare insurance to their
employees.
The Company’s current assessment is that this legislation will most likely increase its total healthcare costs
which could have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, manufacturing
facilities and employment in the U.S., or cash flows.
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 plans to exit the United Kingdom facility in fiscal year 2012 as part of
the Company’s plan to consolidate this facility and the current Poland facility into a new, larger facility in Poland.
Construction of the new facility in Poland is complete and limited production has begun. During the third quarter of
fiscal year 2010, the Company completed the sale of the existing Poland facility and land. The Company is leasing
back the recently sold Poland facility until all production is moved to the new facility in Poland, and the leased
square footage is included above on the Leased line. The Poland facility lease expires during the Company’s fiscal
year 2011.
Included in Unallocated Corporate are executive, national sales and administrative offices, and a recycling
facility.

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 2010.
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 ten leased showroom facilities which are not
included in the tables above, total 331,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2011 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).

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, 2005, through June 30, 2010, 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, 2005 and that dividends are reinvested. The performances shown on the graph are not
necessarily indicative of future price performance.

Earnings per share for fiscal years prior to fiscal year 2010 have been recalculated as a result of FASB guidance
on determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The
impact on fiscal year 2009 Class A basic earnings per share was a reduction from $0.47 as originally reported to
$0.46, and the impact on fiscal year 2007 Class A basic earnings per share was a reduction from $0.60 as originally
reported to $0.59. All other prior year earnings per share calculations were not impacted significantly enough to
cause a change in the earnings per share result. See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

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.
Within both segments, most of the markets in which the Company competes were adversely affected by the
global recession and liquidity crisis. The recession first began to impact the Company’s sales and order trends in the
second quarter of fiscal year 2009. The EMS segment has rebounded quicker than the Furniture segment with
June 30, 2010 open orders 27% higher than June 30, 2009 and similar to the open order levels in the EMS segment
prior to the declines the Company experienced related to the global recession. Furniture segment open orders as of
June 30, 2010 approximated the June 30, 2009 level. While open orders in the Furniture segment are down
significantly from the levels experienced prior to the impact of the global recession, the June 30, 2010 open orders
increased 24% from the level for the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2010.
After experiencing 11% sales declines in calendar year 2009, the EMS industry sales projections (by IDC,
InForum, and Electronic Trend Publications) show average forecasted growth for calendar year 2010 in the range of
7% to 8% compared to calendar year 2009. In addition, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) reported that
semiconductor sales are projected to grow approximately 28% in calendar year 2010, and although the Company
does not directly serve this market, it may be indicative of increased end market demand for products utilizing
electronic components.
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. Short-term
demand in the automotive market improved during the first half of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 in conjunction
with the federal Cash for Clunkers tax rebate program. Automotive activity in the latter half of fiscal year 2010
remained strong with activity projected to moderate in fiscal year 2011 due to the impact of current economic
conditions on durable goods spending. Demand in the medical market has remained stable, and the Company sees
signs of growth. The industrial control market is also showing signs of stability, after benefiting from spending
targeted at energy savings technologies, and the public safety market is likewise stable. 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 of the four vertical markets. The Company’s sales to customers in the automotive
industry are diversified among more than ten domestic and foreign customers and represented approximately 30%
of the EMS segment’s net sales for fiscal year 2010. The amount of sales of electronic components that relate to
General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler automobiles sold in North America were only approximately 8% of the
Company’s EMS segment net sales during fiscal year 2010.
As of August 2010, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (BIFMA) projected a
1.5% year-over-year increase in the office furniture industry for calendar year 2010 after a 29% industry decline in
calendar year 2009. BIFMA projects office furniture industry growth of approximately 9% in calendar year 2011.
While the Company’s mid-market brand has fared better than its contract office furniture brand due to the project
nature of the contract market and the changing U.S. consumption patterns, the Company cannot predict future
overall office furniture order trends at this time due to the short lead time of orders and the volatility in this market.
In addition, the hotel industry forecasts (reported by Smith Travel Research and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP)
project occupancy rates to increase approximately 3% in calendar year 2010 after a 9% industry decline in calendar
year 2009 and project revenue per available room to increase less than 2% for calendar year 2010 after a 17%
industry decline in calendar year 2009. Although the Company’s recent hospitality order rates have improved, the
Company cannot predict if this activity will be sustained in the near-term.
24
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 Company is continually assessing its strategies in relation to market conditions. A long-standing
component of the Company’s profit sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to the performance of the
Company which automatically lowers total compensation expense when profits are down. During fiscal year 2010,
the Company also maintained its focus on reducing operating costs, more closely scrutinizing customer and supply
chain risk, and deferring or cancelling capital expenditures that were not immediately required to support customer
requirements. 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 continued to maintain a strong balance sheet as of the end of fiscal year 2010, which included a
minimal amount of long-term debt of $0.4 million and Share Owners’ equity of $377.4 million. The Company’s
short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused
amount of the Company’s revolving credit facility, was $163.6 million at June 30, 2010.
In addition to the above risks related to the current market 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) The Company will continue its focus on preserving cash and minimizing debt. Managing working capital in
conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is key. In addition, the Company plans to minimize capital
expenditures where appropriate but has been and will continue to invest in capital expenditures for projects
that would enhance the Company’s capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for
growth and improved profitability as the economy and the Company’s markets recover.
(cid:129) Commodity price pressure is expected to continue in the near-term. Mitigating the impact of higher
commodity and fuel prices continues to be an area of focus within the Company.
(cid:129) Management continues to evaluate the healthcare reform legislation that was signed into law in March 2010
to understand the full impact on the Company. This legislation is expected to increase the Company’s
healthcare and related administrative expenses.
(cid:129) Globalization continues to reshape not only the industries in which the Company operates but also its key
customers and competitors.
(cid:129) As demand within the EMS industry increases, the availability of components used in products manufac-
tured by the Company is a concern. As suppliers have not increased their production as rapidly as demand
has increased, component shortages are occurring. If shortages of components continue or worsen, the
Company’s production and shipment schedules could be impacted.
(cid:129) The nature of the EMS industry is such that the start-up of new programs to replace departing customers or
expiring programs occurs frequently. The Company’s sales to Bayer AG are expected to begin to decline in
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company’s manufacturing contract with Bayer AG reaches
end-of-life. Margins on the Bayer AG product are generally lower than the Company’s other EMS products.
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 generally require more competitive pricing. Thus the Company
must strive to identify cost savings opportunities to offset the lower pricing. See Item 1A — Risk Factors for
more information on the risks related to contract customers.
25
(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. 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 its customer base and better utilize manufacturing operations, including shifting manufacturing
capacity to lower cost venues as appropriate.
(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 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 near
Poznan, Poland which is expected to improve the Company’s margins in the very competitive EMS
market. The Company previously had one operation in Poznan. Construction of a new, larger facility in
Poland is complete and limited production has begun. 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 is also consolidating its EMS facilities located in
Wales, United Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland into the new facility near Poznan, with a projected final
completion of the consolidation by mid-fiscal year 2012.
(cid:129) To support growth and diversification efforts, the Company has focused on both organic growth and potential
acquisition targets. 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 and effectiveness of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Certain preceding statements could be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities
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 2010 Results of Operations
Financial Overview — Consolidated
Fiscal year 2010 consolidated net sales were $1.12 billion compared to fiscal year 2009 net sales of
$1.21 billion, a 7% decrease, due to a 27% net sales decrease in the Furniture segment, which more than offset
a 10% net sales increase in the EMS segment. Fiscal year 2010 net income was $10.8 million, or $0.29 per Class B
diluted share, inclusive of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs primarily
related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal year 2010 results also included the following items: a
$7.7 million after-tax gain, or $0.20 per Class B diluted share, related to the sale of the facility and land in Poland,
and $2.0 million of after-tax income, or $0.05 per Class B diluted share, resulting from settlement proceeds related
to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member. The Company recorded net income
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, primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal
year 2009 results also included the following 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 a contract to sell the Company’s Poland facility and land.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales declined to 15.7% for fiscal year 2010 from 16.8% in fiscal
year 2009 due to a shift in sales mix (as depicted in the table below) toward the EMS segment which operates at a
lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment. The EMS segment and Furniture segment gross profit as a
percent of net sales both improved in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009. Gross profit is discussed in
more detail in the segment discussions below.

37% 47%
Fiscal year 2010 consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percent of net sales
compared to fiscal year 2009, due to sales volumes declining at a quicker rate than the selling and administrative
expenses. Consolidated selling and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2010 declined in absolute dollars by 6%
compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily due to decreased labor expense, lower bad debt expense, lower depreciation
and amortization expense, and other comprehensive cost reduction efforts throughout the Company. Partially
offsetting these reductions, the Company experienced increased employee benefit costs primarily related to the
reinstatement of the Company’s retirement plan contribution, increased advertising and marketing costs, and
increased incentive compensation costs at select business units during fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year
2009.
In addition, in fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded $1.5 million of expense compared to $2.8 million of
income in fiscal year 2009 related to the normal revaluation to fair value of its Supplemental Employee Retirement
Plan (SERP) liability. The result was an unfavorable variance in selling and administrative expenses of $4.3 million.
As the general equity markets improved, the value of the SERP investments increased, causing additional selling
and administrative expense related to the SERP liability. The SERP expense recorded in selling and administrative
expenses was exactly offset by an increase in SERP investment income which was recorded in Other Income
(Expense) as an investment gain; therefore, there was no effect on net earnings. The SERP investment is comprised
of approximately 90% employee contributions.
27
Fiscal year 2010 Other General Income included a $6.7 million pre-tax gain within the EMS segment related to
the sale of the facility and land in Poland. The Company is leasing a portion of the facility until it completes the
transfer of production to its newly constructed facility in Poland. Fiscal year 2010 Other General Income also
included $3.3 million of pre-tax income recorded in the EMS segment resulting from settlement proceeds related to
an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member. The class action alleged the defendant
sellers illegally conspired to fix prices for electronic components purchased by a business unit within the EMS
segment. Other General Income in fiscal year 2009 included a $31.5 million pre-tax gain on the sale of undeveloped
land holdings and timberlands. The gain on the sale of land holdings and timberlands was included in Unallocated
Corporate in segment reporting. In addition, during fiscal year 2009, the Company had a conditional agreement to
sell and lease back the facility that housed its Poland operations. However, the buyer was unable to close the
transaction. As a result, the Company was entitled to retain approximately $1.9 million of the deposit funds held by
the Company which was recorded as pre-tax income in Other General Income in the EMS segment.
In fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $14.6 million as a
result of interim goodwill impairment testing which was completed due to the uncertainty associated with the
economy and the significant decline in the Company’s sales and order trends during fiscal year 2009 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.
Other Income (Expense) included other income of $3.3 million for fiscal year 2010 compared to other expense
of $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009. The $4.3 million favorable variance in SERP investments was the primary
driver of the increased other income for fiscal year 2010. Interest expense for fiscal year 2010 was lower than fiscal
year 2009 due to lower average outstanding debt balances coupled with lower interest rates. Interest income was
likewise lower for fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 due to lower interest rates and lower average
investment balances.
The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate was (81.0)% compared to the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 of
31.6%. Relatively low pre-tax income coupled with a tax benefit due to the Company’s tax planning strategy related
to the sale of its Poland facility and land and the favorable impact of the Company’s earnings mix resulted in a tax
benefit in fiscal year 2010 despite the Company’s pre-tax income. The mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign
jurisdictions largely contributed to the overall tax benefit due to losses in the U.S. which have a higher statutory tax
rate than the Company’s foreign operations which were profitable in fiscal year 2010. In fiscal year 2009, the
Company’s foreign operations experienced losses while income was generated in the U.S. See Note 9 — Income
Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Comparing the balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2009, the decline in short-term investments was
due to the Company selling all of its municipal securities which resulted in a gain of $0.6 million. The Company’s
accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009 increased due to the increased sales near
the end of fiscal year 2010 as compared to sales near the end of fiscal year 2009. The Company’s inventory balance
as of June 30, 2010 increased from the June 30, 2009 level primarily to support production ramp up at select EMS
facilities and also to support the transfer of production to the new EMS facility in Poland from the other EMS
facilities in Europe. The Company’s accounts payable balance increased in relation with the inventory increase. The
decrease in property and equipment as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009 was driven by the sale of the
Poland facility and changes in the Euro to US dollar exchange rate. The Company had no borrowings under its credit
facilities as of June 30, 2010 as the Company opted to pay off its short-term debt. The Company’s Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) balance declined due to foreign currency translation adjustments. See
Note 17 — Comprehensive Income of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Fiscal year 2010 EMS segment net sales to customers in the automotive, medical, industrial control, and public
safety industries all increased compared to fiscal year 2009. While open orders were up 27% as of June 30, 2010
compared to June 30, 2009, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends due to the
contract nature of the Company’s business.
Fiscal year 2010 EMS segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 1.5 percentage points when
compared to fiscal year 2009. The improvement was primarily driven by labor efficiency improvements and fixed
cost leverage associated with the increased sales.
EMS segment selling and administrative expenses in absolute dollars decreased 1% in fiscal year 2010 as
compared to fiscal year 2009 and also declined as a percent of net sales in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year
2009 primarily because of the higher sales volumes. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses for fiscal
year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 was primarily related to a decrease in overall salary expense, benefits
realized from restructuring actions, lower depreciation/ amortization expense, and other overall cost reduction
efforts which were partially offset by higher incentive compensation costs.
EMS segment Other General Income for fiscal year 2010 included a $6.7 million pre-tax gain from the sale of
the existing Poland facility and land. Including the tax benefit related to the sale of this facility and land, the after-
tax gain was $7.7 million. In addition, Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included $3.3 million of pre-tax
income, or $2.0 million after-tax, resulting from settlement proceeds related to the antitrust class action lawsuit.
EMS segment Other General Income for fiscal year 2009 included the $1.9 million pre-tax, or $1.6 million after-tax,
amount retained by the Company resulting from the termination of a contract to sell the Company’s Poland facility
and land.
29
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 near Poznan, Poland. The
Company previously had one operation in Poznan. Construction of a new, larger facility in Poland is complete and
limited production has begun. The Company successfully completed the move of production from Longford,
Ireland, into the existing Poznan facility during fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2010, the Company completed
the sale of the existing Poland facility and land. The Company is leasing back the recently sold Poland facility until
all production is moved to the new facility near Poznan, and the lease expires during the Company’s fiscal year
2011. As part of the plan, the Company is also consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom,
and Poznan, Poland, into the new facility near Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company’s margins in the
very competitive EMS market. The plan is being executed in stages with a projected final completion by mid-fiscal
year 2012. See Note 18 — Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on restructuring charges. The restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were
primarily related to the European consolidation plan.
The fiscal year 2009 EMS segment earnings were also impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax goodwill
impairment of $12.8 million, or $8.0 million after-tax.
As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was 2.2% for fiscal year 2010 and (3.4)% for fiscal year 2009.
During fiscal year 2010, the EMS segment recorded $1.0 million of tax income related to the sale of the facility
and land in Poland instead of tax expense normally associated with a gain, as a result of a tax planning strategy. The
fiscal year 2010 EMS segment income tax was also favorably impacted by the mix of earnings between U.S. and
foreign EMS operations. The fiscal year 2009 EMS effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by a tax
benefit related to its European operations which was primarily offset by the impact of losses in select foreign
jurisdictions which have a lower tax rate.
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 Company’s sales to Bayer AG are expected to begin to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the
Company’s manufacturing contract with Bayer AG reaches end-of-life. Margins on the Bayer AG product are
generally lower than the Company’s other EMS products. 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 becomes established and matures. This segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an
overall excess capacity position in the electronics subcontracting services market.
Risk factors within the EMS 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, supplier stability, the contract nature of this industry, unexpected integration
issues with acquisitions, the concentration of sales to large customers, and the potential for customers to choose to
in-source 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.

The fiscal year 2010 net sales decline in the Furniture segment compared to fiscal year 2009 resulted from
decreased net sales of both office furniture and hospitality furniture. The decline in office furniture sales was
primarily due to decreased sales volumes, with higher discounting net of price increases contributing to a lesser
extent. Fiscal year 2010 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which have been sold for less than
twelve months approximated $20.9 million. Open orders of furniture products at June 30, 2010 approximated the
open orders levels as of June 30, 2009 as increased open orders for office furniture were primarily offset by
decreased orders for hospitality furniture. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Fiscal year 2010 Furniture segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.3 percentage points when
compared to fiscal year 2009. Items contributing to the improved gross profit as a percent of net sales included: price
increases on select product, lower commodity costs, a sales mix shift to higher margin product, lower employee
benefit costs, and other overall cost reduction efforts. These improvements more than offset the negative impact of
the lower absorption of fixed costs associated with the lower net sales, increased discounting resulting from
competitive pricing pressures, and increased costs related to the reinstatement of the Company’s retirement plan
contribution for fiscal year 2010. Due to the significant decline in sales volume, the fiscal year 2010 gross profit
dollars declined as compared to fiscal year 2009.
Fiscal year 2010 selling and administrative expenses decreased in absolute dollars by 11%, but increased as a
percent of net sales on the lower sales volumes, when compared to fiscal year 2009. The fiscal year 2010 selling and
administrative expense decline resulted from lower overall salary expense realized from past restructurings and the
salary reduction plan implemented by the Company in fiscal year 2009, lower commission costs related to the lower
sales volumes, lower bad debt expense, and other improvements resulting from the focus on managing all costs.
Partially offsetting the lower costs were higher advertising and product marketing expenses, increased costs related to
the reinstatement of the Company’s retirement plan contribution, and higher severance costs due to scaling operations.
The Furniture segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 were impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax
goodwill impairment of $1.8 million, which equated to $1.1 million after-tax.
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. Most of the consolidation activities
occurred during fiscal year 2009, and the remaining activities were completed during fiscal year 2010.
As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was (2.3)% for fiscal year 2010 and 2.4% for fiscal year 2009.
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 2009 Results of Operations
The following discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income
statement activity of the discontinued operation which only impacted the fiscal year 2008 results. There was no
activity related to discontinued operations in fiscal year 2009, and therefore the fiscal year 2009 net income and
income from continuing operations were equivalent. See Note 19 — Discontinued Operation of Notes to Con-
solidated Financial Statements for more information on the discontinued operation.
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 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 a contract to sell the Company’s
Poland facility and land. 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 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 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
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 expenses 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 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 a contract to sell and lease back the Company’s Poland
facility and land. 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.
32
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.
Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired privately-held Genesis Electronics
Manufacturing of Tampa, Florida, for $5.4 million. The acquisition supports the Company’s growth and diver-
sification strategy, bringing new customers in the Company’s key medical and industrial control 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 — Acquisition of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
the acquisition.

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.
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 expenses 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 macroeconomic conditions during fiscal year 2009. 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.
33
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, a
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 a contract to sell
and lease back the Company’s Poland facility and land.
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 of 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 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 had
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.
34
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. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2010 was $180.0 million compared to working capital of $176.2 million at June 30,
2009. The current ratio was 1.8 at both June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009.
The Company’s internal measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO), for fiscal year 2010 of 47.8 days approximated the 47.2 days for fiscal year 2009. 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 2010
decreased to 63.0 days from 65.6 days for fiscal year 2009. The PDSOH in fiscal year 2009 was unfavorably
impacted by a rapid decline in EMS segment sales volumes. During fiscal year 2010, the Company worked to align
inventory levels with sales levels, resulting in lower PDSOH. 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 $163.6 million at June 30, 2010
compared to $183.7 million at June 30, 2009.
During fiscal year 2010, the Company sold all of its municipal securities which resulted in a realized gain of
$0.6 million. See Note 13 — Short-Term Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information.
35
The Company’s net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments less
short-term borrowings under credit facilities decreased from $88.6 million at June 30, 2009 to $67.8 million at
June 30, 2010. The Company had no short-term borrowings as of June 30, 2010. Operating activities generated
$13.4 million of cash flow in fiscal year 2010 compared to the $84.2 million of cash generated by operating
activities in fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009, the negative cash impact of
increased accounts receivable and inventory balances to support increased EMS sales were only partially offset by
increased accounts payable. During fiscal year 2010, the Company reinvested $35.4 million into capital investments
for the future, primarily for manufacturing equipment in both segments and the new Poland facility, which is part of
the plan to consolidate the European manufacturing footprint. The Company also had proceeds from the sale of
assets of $12.9 million during fiscal year 2010 primarily related to the sale of the Poland facility which is being
replaced by the newly constructed EMS facility also in Poland. The proceeds from the sale of assets during fiscal
year 2009 of $49.9 million were primarily related to the sale of the Company’s undeveloped land holdings and
timberlands. Financing cash flow activities for fiscal year 2010 included $12.2 million in payments on the revolving
credit facility as the Company opted to pay down the facility to a zero balance. The Company also had $7.3 million
in dividend payments, which was a decrease from the $19.4 million of dividends paid during fiscal year 2009. The
decline in dividends paid was a result of reduced dividend rates beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 to
preserve cash. 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 2011, the Company expects to
minimize capital expenditures where appropriate but will continue to 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 as the economy and the Company’s markets recover.
At June 30, 2010, the Company had no 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 described in
more detail below and likewise had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of June 30, 2010. At June 30,
2009, the Company had $12.7 million of short-term borrowings outstanding.
At June 30, 2010, the Company had $4.2 million in letters of credit against the $100 million credit facility.
Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $95.8 million at June 30, 2010.
The Company maintains the $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 consent of the
participating banks. The $100 million credit facility, upon which there were no borrowings at June 30, 2010,
requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants including interest coverage ratio and minimum
net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2010.
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.

In addition to the $100 million credit facility, the Company can opt to utilize foreign credit facilities which are
available to satisfy short-term cash needs at that specific location rather than funding from intercompany sources. The
Company maintains a foreign credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Thailand which is backed by the
$100 million revolving credit facility. The Company has a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Poland,
which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 6 million Euro equivalent (approximately $7.4 million U.S. dollars
at June 30, 2010 exchange rates). The Company also has a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in China
which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to $5 million. These foreign credit facilities can be cancelled at any
time by either the bank or the Company.
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 for fiscal year
2011 and the foreseeable future. One of the Company’s sources of funds has been its ability to generate cash from
operations to meet its liquidity obligations, which during fiscal year 2010 was hampered by lower sales volumes and
could also be adversely affected in the future 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
During fiscal year 2010, 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 foreign currency 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, these 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 the valuation of the foreign currency derivatives.
The Company invested in convertible promissory notes and stock warrants of a privately-held company during
fiscal year 2010 and has been chosen by the privately-held company as its primary supplier to produce EMS
products in the future. The convertible promissory notes, classified as available-for-sale debt securities, were valued
using a recurring market-based method which approximates fair value by using the amortized cost basis of the
promissory notes, with the discount amortized to interest income over the term. The stock warrants, classified as
derivative instruments, were valued on a recurring basis using a market-based method which utilizes the Black-
Scholes valuation model. The fair value measurements for the convertible promissory notes and stock warrants were
calculated using unobservable inputs and were classified as level 3 financial assets.
See Note 11 — Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

(a) As of June 30, 2010, 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 fiscal year 2011 amount includes $0.1 million of long-term debt obligations due in fiscal
year 2011 which was recorded as a current liability. 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 2011 amount includes $4.8 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 2011 amount also includes
$2.5 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 2011 amount also includes $1.0 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 2011 amount includes
$1.2 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.
(d) Excludes $3.9 million of long-term unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties
along with deferred tax liabilities and miscellaneous other long-term 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 2015. 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.
38
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 prin-
ciples 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. 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) Sales returns and allowances — At the time revenue is recognized certain provisions may also be recorded,
including a provision for 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the reserve for returns and allowances was $2.5 million and $4.4 million,
respectively. The returns and allowances reserve approximated 2% to 3% of gross trade receivables during
the past two fiscal years.
(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, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $1.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. During the
preceding two-year period, this reserve had approximated 1% of gross trade accounts receivable except for
the period March 2009 through December 2009 during which time it approximated 2% of gross trade
accounts receivable. The higher reserve was driven by increased risk created by deteriorating market
conditions during that time.
39
Excess and obsolete inventory — Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or
market value for approximately 9% and 14% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009,
respectively, including approximately 78% and 83% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2009, 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the
Company’s accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $4.7 million and $6.5 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, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions, was $3.7 million at June 30,
2010 and $3.5 million at June 30, 2009.
Goodwill — Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and
intangible net asset fair values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an interim 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
fair value is established primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing
current industry information. The calculation of the fair value of the reporting units considers current market conditions
existing at the assessment date. 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 impairment charge for the Company’s
remaining goodwill balance, which approximates only 0.4% of total assets, will not occur in future periods as a result of
these analyses. At June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Company’s goodwill, net of accumulated impairment losses,
totaled $2.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
40
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, 2010 and 2009, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income
securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $2 million and $25 million, respectively.
These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and 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. 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, 2010 and 2009 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 credit facilities which bear interest at variable rates based on
prevailing short-term interest rates. The Company had no outstanding balance of variable rate obligations at
June 30, 2010, and at June 30, 2009 had a $13 million outstanding balance. The Company estimates that a
hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates from levels at June 30, 2009 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
from levels at June 30, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010.
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, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010. 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, 2010, 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, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2010, 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, presents 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, 2010, 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
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
foreign subsidiaries. All significant
consolidation.
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.
Change in Estimates: The Company periodically performs assessments of the useful lives of assets. In
evaluating useful lives, the Company considers how long assets will remain functionally efficient and effective,
given levels of technology, competitive factors, and the economic environment. If the assessment indicates that the
assets will continue to be used for a longer period than previously anticipated, the useful life of the assets is revised,
resulting in a change in estimate. Changes in estimates are accounted for on a prospective basis by depreciating the
assets’ current carrying values over their revised remaining useful lives.
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company revised the useful lives of Surface Mount Technology production
equipment from 5 years to 7 years. Additionally, effective October 1, 2008, the Company revised the useful lives of
Enterprise Resource Planning software from 7 years to 10 years. The effect of these changes in estimates, compared
to the original depreciation and amortization, for fiscal year 2010 was a pre-tax reduction in depreciation and
amortization expense of, in thousands, ($2,148). The pre-tax reduction in amortization expense for fiscal year 2009
was, in thousands, ($1,402). The pre-tax (decrease) increase to depreciation and amortization expense in future
periods is expected to be, in thousands, ($1,010), $141, $1,052, $1,272, and $1,225 in the five years ending June 30,
2015, and $531 thereafter.
Revisions to the Earnings Per Share Calculation:
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued guidance on determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are
participating securities. Under the guidance, unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable
rights to dividends are considered to be a separate class of securities and are excluded from the common stock EPS
calculations. The Company’s restricted share unit awards meet the definition of a participating security when held
by retirement-age participants. All restricted share units vested during fiscal year 2010. The guidance became
effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and required that previously reported earnings per
share data be recast in financial statements issued in periods after the effective date. The guidance impacted the
Company’s Class A Common Stock earnings per share results for certain interim periods and the annual period of
fiscal year 2009. The impact on fiscal year 2009 Class A basic earnings per share was a reduction from $0.47 as
originally reported to $0.46. All other fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2008 earnings per share calculations were not
impacted significantly enough to cause a change in the earnings per share result.
49
Change in Accounting Policy: During the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company changed its
classification of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, reflected in the Consolidated Statements
of Income. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was previously classified on either the Interest income line or
the Interest expense line. Penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were previously classified as Non-operating
expense. In accordance with the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, based on an accounting
policy election, interest related to unrecognized tax benefits may either be classified as income taxes or interest, and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits may either be classified as income taxes or another expense classi-
fication. Beginning January 1, 2010, the Company revised its accounting policy and now classifies interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated
Statements of Income. The Company believes that the classification of interest and penalties in the Provision (Benefit)
for Income Taxes line is preferable because it is management’s belief that interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits are costs of managing taxes payable (as opposed to, for example, interest as a cost of
debt). Also, this presentation is more consistent with the practice followed by most of the Company’s competitors. As
a result of reclassifying interest related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s interest coverage ratio, which is a
debt covenant in its revolving credit facility, will change. This change does not impact the Company’s compliance with
this debt covenant. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were not material during the period
subsequent to the change in accounting policy. Prior periods were not adjusted retrospectively due to immateriality.
This change had no impact on Operating Income, Income from Continuing Operations, Net Income, or Earnings
Per Share. This change had an impact on Income from Continuing Operations Before Taxes on Income, however the
impact was not material.
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 collectability result in an increase or decrease in selling expenses.
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 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 9% and 14% of consolidated inventories at
June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, 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.
50
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 fair 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 fair value is established primarily using a discounted
cash flow analysis and secondarily a market approach utilizing current industry information. The calculation of the
fair value of the reporting units considers current market conditions existing at the assessment date.
A summary of the goodwill by segment is as follows:

During fiscal year 2010, no goodwill impairment loss was recognized. 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 Share Owners’ 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.
51
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 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.
Other Intangible Assets reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of capitalized software, product
rights, and customer relationships. 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 2010, 2009, and 2008, amortization expense of other intangible assets from continuing
operations, including asset write-downs associated with the Company’s restructuring plans, was, in thousands,
$2,484, $3,931, and $8,036, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands,
$2,140, $1,900, $1,541, $1,157, and $780 in the five years ending June 30, 2015, and $595 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.
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.
52
Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and
development costs from continuing operations were approximately, in millions, $12, $14, and $16 in fiscal years
2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs from continuing operations,
included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $5.5, $4.5, and $6.2, in fiscal years 2010, 2009,
and 2008, 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 59% 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: 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.
Beginning January 1, 2010, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in the Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. See the above
explanation, under the caption Change in Accounting Policy, regarding the change in accounting policy for the
classification of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
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 18% and 10%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and 19% and
11%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2009. The Company currently does not foresee a
credit risk associated with these receivables. The Company also has a loan agreement with a contract customer and a
note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, $4.2 million and $4.7 million
was outstanding, respectively. 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.
53
Other General Income: Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included a gain on the sale of the
Company’s Poland facility and land and settlement proceeds related to a class action lawsuit of which the Company
was a class member. Other General Income in fiscal year 2009 included a gain related to the sale of undeveloped
land and timberland holdings, as well as earnest money deposits retained by the Company resulting from the
termination of the contract to sell and lease back the Company’s Poland facility and land.

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)
income, bank charges, and other
investments, non-production rent
miscellaneous 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.
54
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 is based on the stock price at the date of the grant. 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. 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.
New Accounting Standards:
In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosures about the credit
quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The additional disclosures are intended to facilitate
the evaluation of 1) the nature of credit risk inherent in the Company’s portfolio of financing receivables, 2) how that
risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and 3) the changes and reasons for those
changes in the allowance for credit losses. Financing receivables include loans and notes receivable, long-term trade
accounts receivable, and certain other contractual rights to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable
dates. The expanded disclosures, disaggregated by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable, include a
roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses as well as impaired, nonaccrual, restructured and past due loans, and
credit quality indicators. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s second quarter fiscal year 2011 financial
statements, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end of a reporting period. Disclosures that relate to activity
during a reporting period will be required for the Company’s third quarter fiscal year 2011 financial statements. The
Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to improve disclosures about fair value instruments. The guidance
requires additional disclosure about significant transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 of the fair value hierarchy and
requires disclosure of changes in level 3 activity on a gross basis. In addition, the guidance clarifies existing
requirements regarding the required level of disaggregation by class of assets and liabilities and also clarifies
disclosures of inputs and valuation techniques. The guidance became effective beginning in the Company’s third
quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the requirement to disclose level 3 activity on a gross basis, which will be
effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the single
official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB (other than guidance issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission). 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 FASB
accounting standard documents have been superseded. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company began
to utilize the Codification and revised its financial statements to no longer refer to former U.S. GAAP standards.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance related to variable interest entities (VIEs) which modifies how a
company determines when VIEs should be consolidated. The guidance 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. The guidance 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. The guidance is effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2011, and its adoption is not
expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance for determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities. This guidance 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. This guidance became effective as
of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and required that previously reported earnings per share data be
recast in financial statements issued in periods after the effective date. The effect of adopting the guidance is
disclosed under the caption Revisions to the Earnings Per Share Calculation within this footnote.
55
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance for the determination of the useful life of intangible assets. This
guidance 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 the goodwill and other intangible assets accounting
principles. This new guidance 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. 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 this
guidance were adopted prospectively as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2010 and did not have an
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance on business combinations which 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. This
guidance also broadens the definition of a business combination and expands disclosures related to business
combinations. Additionally, in April 2009, the FASB issued further guidance which 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 existing
accounting principles for accounting for contingencies and reasonable estimation of the amount of a loss. This
new guidance became effective for business combinations occurring after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal
year 2010. The impact, if any, of this guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows will depend on the extent of business combinations completed in the future.
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurements, which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance is only applicable to existing accounting pronouncements
that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The
guidance, as originally issued, was to be effective as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year 2009. In
February 2008, the FASB issued additional guidance on fair value measurements, approving 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. The Company
adopted the provisions of fair value measurement guidance applicable to financial instruments as of July 1, 2008.
The Company adopted the provisions of fair value measurement guidance applicable to non-financial assets and
liabilities as of July 1, 2009 which did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. Required disclosures have been provided in Note 11 — Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Note 2 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 goodwill impairment recorded during fiscal year 2009, had an immaterial impact on the fiscal year
2010 and 2009 financial results. See Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consol-
idated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill impairment. 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 9%
and 14% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively, including approximately 78%
and 83% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, 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
$0.8 million lower in fiscal year 2010, $2.4 million lower in fiscal year 2009, and $1.1 million higher in fiscal year
2008. Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income
from continuing operations by $1.3 million in fiscal year 2010, $2.5 million in fiscal year 2009, and $0.1 million in
fiscal year 2008.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment from continuing operations, including asset
write-downs associated with the Company’s restructuring plans, totaled, in millions, $32.5 for fiscal year 2010,
$33.9 for fiscal year 2009, and $34.0 for fiscal year 2008.
At June 30, 2010, in thousands, assets totaling $1,160 were classified as held for sale and consisted of a facility
and land related to the Gaylord, Michigan, exited operation within the EMS segment. These assets were reported as
unallocated corporate assets for segment reporting purposes. The Company expects to sell these assets during the
next 12 months. During fiscal year 2010, the Company sold held for sale equipment related to previously held
timberlands, and the sale had an immaterial effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. At June 30,
2009, the Company had, in thousands, assets totaling $1,358 classified as held for sale.

Note 5 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Leases:
Operating leases for certain office, showroom, manufacturing facilities, land, and equipment, which expire
from fiscal year 2011 to 2056, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions,
$3.7, $3.0, $2.0, $1.8, and $1.5 for the five years ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and aggregate $1.5 million from
fiscal year 2016 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 leases include renewal options and
escalation clauses. Total rental expenses amounted to, in millions, $5.4, $6.1, and $7.8 in fiscal years 2010, 2009,
and 2008, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based on warehouse space
utilized, which amounted to expense of, in millions, $0.4, $1.1, and $0.7 in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008,
respectively.
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no capitalized leases.
Guarantees:
As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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. The Company had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling
$4.2 million as of June 30, 2010 and approximately $5.0 million as of June 30, 2009. 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, 2010 and 2009 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 2010, 2009, and 2008 were as follows:

(1) The Company’s primary revolving credit facility, which expires in April 2013, 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 2010, 2009, and 2008. 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 credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial
covenants including interest coverage ratio and net worth. The Company was in compliance with these
covenants at June 30, 2010. The Company also had $4.2 million in letters of credit against the credit facility at
June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on the primary credit facility was a Euro currency
borrowing which provided a natural currency hedge against Euro denominated intercompany notes between the
U.S. parent and the Euro functional currency subsidiaries.
The Company also maintains a foreign credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Thailand which is
backed by the $100 million revolving credit facility. This foreign credit facility is reviewed for renewal annually
and can be cancelled at any time by either the bank or the Company. Interest on borrowing in US dollars under
the 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 facility is charged at the prevailing market rate.
(2) The credit facility for the EMS segment operation in China allows for multi-currency borrowings up to
$5 million to be used for general working capital needs. This facility is reviewed for renewal annually and can
be cancelled at any time by either the bank or the Company. The interest rate applicable to the facility is
determined by the bank at the time a drawing request is made.
(3) The credit facility for the EMS segment operation in Poland allows for multi-currency borrowings up to
6 million Euro equivalent (approximately $7.4 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2010 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 Poland location rather than funding from intercompany sources. This credit facility is
reviewed for renewal annually and can be cancelled at any time by either the bank or the Company. Interest on
the overdraft is charged at 1.75% over the Euro Overnight Index Average (EONIA).
60
As of June 30, 2010, there were no outstanding short-term borrowings. As of June 30, 2009, the weighted
average interest rate on short-term borrowings outstanding under the credit facilities was 1.46%. Cash payments for
interest on borrowings were, in thousands, $203, $1,807, and $2,197, in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008,
respectively. Capitalized interest expense was immaterial during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008.
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 also 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 with certain minimum
and maximum limits as determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of
Directors. Total expense related to employer contributions to the retirement plans was, in millions, $4.5, $0, and
$5.8 for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively.
Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans. Total expense
related to employer contributions to these foreign plans for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 was, in millions, $0.6,
$0.7, and $1.0, respectively.
61
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 increase in the benefit obligation was primarily 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 non-recurring 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 in accordance
with the applicable U.S. GAAP.
62
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.
The estimated prior service cost and actuarial net loss for the severance plans that will be amortized from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are, pre-tax
in thousands, $286 and $700, respectively.

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 $1.8 million, $2.1 million, and
$4.0 million in fiscal year 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The total income tax benefit from continuing
operations for stock compensation arrangements was $0.7 million, $0.9 million, and $1.6 million in fiscal year
2010, 2009, and 2008, 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 shares are issued, 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, 2010, there was approximately $2.5 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 2010 through August 2014, with a weighted average
vesting period of 1.7 years. The fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of grant,
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 $6.25; $10.37; and $12.16
for performance share awards granted in fiscal year 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. During fiscal year 2010,
2009, and 2008, respectively, 140,832; 109,197; and 201,598 performance shares vested at a fair value of
$1.1 million, $1.3 million, and $3.4 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.
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 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, the Company granted a total of 19,662; 29,545; and 13,186 unrestricted
shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $7.63, $6.45, and $13.16, for a total fair value
of $0.2 million in each fiscal year. 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.
Restricted Share Units:
Nonvested Restricted Share Units (RSU) were awarded to officers and other key employees under the 2003
Plan. RSUs vested five years after the date of award and as of June 30, 2010, were fully vested. Upon vesting, the
outstanding number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period were converted to
shares of Class A and Class B common stock. RSUs and accumulated dividends were forfeited if the employment of
a holder of an RSU terminated before the RSU had 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.

As of June 30, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation
arrangements awarded under the 2003 Plan as all RSU’s had vested. 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 2010, 2009, and 2008
was, in thousands, $3,366, $4,137, and $233, respectively.
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. No shares
remain available for new grants under the 1996 Stock Incentive Program.
There were no stock option grants awarded during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008. 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. A summary of
stock option activity during fiscal year 2010 is presented below:

distribution to the United States because it is not anticipated such earnings will be remitted to the United States.
The aggregate unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred income tax liability
has not been recorded was approximately $51.3 million as of June 30, 2010. Determination of the amount of

(1) The $4.7 million reduction during fiscal year 2008 was due primarily to the IRS approving a change in
accounting method, which eliminated the need for an unrecognized tax benefit liability. The reduction in the
liability resulted in a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax assets.
Beginning January 1, 2010, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in the Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes line of the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 1 — Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, under the caption Change in
Accounting Policy, regarding the change in accounting policy for the classification of interest and penalties.
Amounts accrued for interest and penalties were as follows:

Accrued interest and penalties are not included in the tabular roll forward of unrecognized tax benefits above.
Interest and penalties recognized for fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008 were, in thousands, income of $72, $10, and
$325, 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 2007. 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, 2004. 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.
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
The Company categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value 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.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased convertible debt securities of $2.3 million and stock warrants
of $0.4 million. See Note 13 — Short-Term Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the convertible debt securities. See Note 12 — Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consol-
idated Financial Statements for further information regarding the stock warrants. The changes in fair value of
Level 3 investment assets during fiscal year 2010 were immaterial. There were no Level 3 investments as of June 30,
2009.
The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) assets consist of equity funds, balanced
funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are exactly offset by a SERP liability
which represents the Company’s obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 13 — Short-Term
Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
71
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
During fiscal year 2010, the Company had no fair value adjustments applicable to items that are subject to non-
recurring fair value measurement after the initial measurement date.
Disclosure of Other Financial Instruments:
Other financial instruments that are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value have carrying
amounts that approximate fair value as follows:
Assets
Liabilities
Certain cash and cash equivalents
Receivables
Other assets not recorded at fair value
Accounts payable
Borrowings under credit facilities
Dividends payable
Accrued expenses
The fair value of 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, 2010 and
2009.
Note 12 Derivative Instruments
Foreign Exchange Contracts:
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. Foreign exchange
contracts are also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances
denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had outstanding
foreign exchange contracts to hedge currencies against the U.S. dollar in the aggregate notional amount of
$13.1 million and to hedge currencies against the Euro in the aggregate notional amount of 28.4 million EUR. The
notional amounts are indicators of the volume of derivative activities but are not indicators of the potential gain or
loss on the derivatives.
72
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 derivative 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
FASB guidance, 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 are not designated as hedging instruments or that cease to meet the criteria for hedging
under FASB guidance 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, 2010, the Company estimates that $0.1 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, 2011. Losses on foreign
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 foreign exchange 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 11 and 15 months as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Stock Warrants:
In conjunction with the Company’s investments in convertible debt securities of a privately-held company
during fiscal year 2010, the Company received common and preferred stock warrants which provide the right to
purchase the privately-held company’s equity securities at a specified exercise price. Specifically, the Company
received stock warrants to purchase 2,750,000 shares of common stock at a $0.15 per share exercise price and
received stock warrants to purchase a number of shares of preferred stock based on the latest preferred stock
offering price (1,833,000 shares of preferred stock at a $1.50 per share exercise price, based on the last offering price
of outstanding preferred stock). The value of the stock warrants will fluctuate primarily in relation to the value of the
privately-held company’s underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring
with no value. Gains and losses on the revaluation of stock warrants are recognized in the Non-operating income or
expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
See Note 11 — Fair Value 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
Municipal Securities:
The Company’s short-term investment portfolio included available-for-sale securities which are 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. Government or State and Local Government) bonds, and short-term putable bonds. The
Company’s investment policy dictates that municipal securities must be investment grade quality. During fiscal
year 2010, the Company sold all of its municipal securities.
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. See Note 11 — Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The amortized cost
basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the security.

Realized gains and losses are reported in the 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. No
other-than-temporary impairment was recorded during fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008.
Convertible Debt Securities:
During fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased secured convertible promissory notes from a privately-held
company having an aggregate fair value of $2.5 million at June 30, 2010. The Company has been chosen as the
primary supplier for the privately-held company to produce products in the future. The convertible notes are
accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities and are recorded at fair value. Interest accrues on the debt
securities at a rate of 8.00% per annum and is due with the principal during fiscal year 2011. The debt securities are
convertible into the preferred stock of the privately-held company upon certain events, including a qualified
financing, a nonqualified financing, initial public offering, or a change in control.
In connection with the purchase of the debt securities, the Company also received stock warrants to purchase
the common and preferred stock of the privately-held company at a specified exercise price. See Note 12 —
Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the stock
warrants.
75
In the aggregate, the investments and security interest do not rise to the level of a material variable interest or a
controlling interest in the privately-held company which would require consolidation.
See Note 11 — Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair
value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized losses on the debt securities will be recognized in earnings when
there is an intent to sell or is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the debt securities have
incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax related effect as a
component of Share Owners’ Equity.
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
The Company maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) for executive
employees. The SERP utilizes 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 in the Other Income (Expense)
category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and admin-
istrative expenses and exactly offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. The change in net unrealized
holding gains and (losses) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was, in thousands, $1,385,
($2,739), and ($2,385), 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 EMS segment currently sells primarily to
customers in 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. Each
segment’s product line offerings consist of similar products and services sold within various industries.
Included in the EMS segment are sales to one major customer. Sales to Bayer AG affiliates totaled, in millions,
$169.6, $149.5, and $149.9 in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, representing 15%, 12%, and 11% 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 and includes income from corporate investments and other non-opera-
tional items. Sales between the Furniture segment and EMS segment are not material.
The Company evaluates segment performance based upon several financial measures, including economic
profit, which incorporates a segment’s cost of capital when evaluating financial performance, operating income, and
income from continuing operations. Operating income and income from continuing operations are reported for each
segment as they are the measures 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 U.S. GAAP.

(4) In fiscal year 2009, the Company’s Wales facility changed its shipping arrangement with customers so that
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:

Included in dividends declared for the basic and diluted earnings per share computation are dividends
computed and accrued on unvested Class A and Class B restricted share units, which were paid by a conversion to
the equivalent value of common shares on the vesting date. Restricted share units held by retirement-age
participants have a nonforfeitable right to dividends and are deducted from the above dividends and undistributed
earnings figures allocable to common Share Owners. Previously reported earnings per share calculations for fiscal
years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been recast as a result of FASB guidance on determining whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. See Note 1 — Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. All restricted
share units vested during fiscal year 2010.
In fiscal year 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively, all 693,000, 755,000, and 792,000 average stock options
outstanding were antidilutive and were excluded from the dilutive calculation. In addition, for fiscal year 2008,
169,000 of the 264,000 average restricted share units and 128,000 of the 155,000 average performance share grants
were antidilutive and excluded from the dilutive calculation.

Note 18 Restructuring Expense
The Company recognized consolidated pre-tax restructuring expense of $2.1 million, $3.0 million, and
$21.9 million in fiscal years 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The actions discussed below represent the majority
of the restructuring costs during the fiscal years presented in the summary table on the following page. Former
restructuring plans that are substantially complete and did not have significant expense during the fiscal years
presented are included in the summary table on the following page under the Other Restructuring Plans captions and
include the Company-wide workforce restructuring plan, the Furniture consolidation and simplification plan, and
the EMS Gaylord, Hibbing, and Auburn restructuring plans.
The Company utilizes available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of
impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges are included in the Restructuring Expense line item on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Income.
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 near Poznan, Poland. The
Company previously had one operation in Poznan. Construction of a new, larger facility in Poland is complete and
limited production has begun. 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 is also consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland, into the
new facility near Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company’s margins in the very competitive EMS
market. The plan is being executed in stages with a projected final completion date of mid-fiscal year 2012. The
Company sold the existing Poland facility and land during fiscal year 2010 and recorded a $6.7 million pre-tax gain
which is included in the Other General Income line on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income. The
Company is leasing back a portion of the facility until it completes the transfer of production to the new facility. The
Company currently estimates that the total pre-tax charges related to the consolidation activities will be approx-
imately, in millions, $21.3 consisting of $19.7 of severance and other employee costs, $0.5 of property and
equipment asset impairment, $0.6 of lease exit costs, and $0.5 of other exit costs.

Note 19 Discontinued Operation
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 Operation, 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 classified as a discontinued operation and those costs related to the building lease and other costs after
production of PTV cabinets and stands ceased are classified as continuing operations. There were no charges related
to exit activities at the Juarez facility during fiscal year 2010 and 2009. Pre-tax charges related to exit activities at
