HERMAN MILLER, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Herman Miller, Inc. (“the company”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures made in this document are adequate so as not to make the information presented misleading. Operating results for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 29, 2004. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2003.

2. FISCAL YEAR

The company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31. Fiscal 2004, the year ending May 29, 2004, will contain 52 weeks as did fiscal 2003, the year ended May 31, 2003. Both of the three-month periods ended February 28, 2004, and March 1, 2003, contained 13 weeks.

3. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency for foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The cumulative effects of translating the balance sheet accounts from the functional currency into the United States dollar at current exchange rates and revenue and expense accounts using average exchange rates for the period are included as a separate component of shareholders equity. Gains (losses) arising from remeasuring all foreign currency transactions into the appropriate functional currency, which were included in determining net earnings, totaled $(1.0) million and $0.7 million for the three months ended February 28, 2004, and March 1, 2003, respectively. For the nine months ended February 28, 2004, and March 1, 2003, the currency gain (loss) totaled $(0.6) million and $0.6 million, respectively.

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)

Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability, and unrealized holding gains or losses on “available-for-sale” securities. Comprehensive income was approximately $11.3 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2004, and March 1, 2003, respectively. For the nine months ended February 28, 2004, and March 1, 2003, comprehensive income totaled $28.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively. The following presents the components of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for the periods indicated.
