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 three-month period ended August 28, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 28, 2005. 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 29, 2004.

2. FISCAL YEAR
The company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31. Fiscal 2005, the year ending May 28, 2005, will contain 52 weeks as did fiscal 2004, the year ended May 29, 2004. Both of the three-month periods ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 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, were negligible and $0.3 million for the three months ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, respectively.

4. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)
Comprehensive income/(loss) consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability, and unrealized holding gains/(losses) on “available-for-sale” securities. Comprehensive income was approximately $15.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, respectively. The following presents the components of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for the periods indicated.

5. COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS).

Three Months Ended

August 28,
2004
August 30,
2003


Numerators:  
Numerator for both basic and diluted EPS,   
net earnings (In Millions)   $ 14.3   $ 6.2  


Denominators:  
Denominator for basic EPS, weighted-average   
common shares outstanding    71,182,794    72,869,965  
   
Potentially dilutive shares resulting from stock plans    679,053    301,608  


Denominator for diluted EPS    71,861,847    73,171,573  


Certain exercisable stock options were not included in the computation of diluted EPS at August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, because the option prices were greater than the average market prices for the period. The number of stock options outstanding, which meet this criterion, and the range of exercise prices for the three months ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, were 1,822,216 at $26.29 — $32.50 and 6,463,738 at $21.02 — $32.50, respectively.

Common stock activity for the three months ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003, included the repurchase of approximately 1,379,179 shares for $37.6 million and 108,646 shares for $2.3 million in the respective periods. In addition, the issuance of 654,003 shares for $11.8 million (net of $0.8 million tax effect) and 176,859 shares for $2.0 million (net of $0.4 million tax effect) occurred as the result of stock-based benefit program activity during the respective three months ended August 28, 2004, and August 30, 2003.

6. ACQUISITIONS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Office Interiors, Inc., a contract furniture dealership primarily based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for $0.7 million of which $0.5 million was allocated to the fair value of net assets acquired and $0.2 million to an amortizable intangible asset. This resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $0.4 million due to the reversal of a financial guarantee liability because the company was released from the guarantee by the third-party as result of this transaction. The gain is reflected in “Other Expenses (Income)” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. If this purchase had been effective May 30, 2003, there would have been no material effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 or 2004.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the company acquired, for $0.2 million, an additional ownership interest in OP Spectrum LLP, a contract furniture dealership based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As a result of this transaction, which increased the company’s ownership interest to 90%, the dealership’s balance sheet and results of operations were consolidated in the company’s fiscal 2004 financial statements since the date of acquisition. Prior to the transaction, the company’s investment in this dealership was accounted for under the equity method, with the company’s proportionate share of resulting gains or losses reported as a component of other income/expense.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. Under this method, which continues to be acceptable under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” (SFAS 148), no compensation expense is recognized when stock options are granted to employees and directors at fair market value as of the grant date.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if the company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (SFAS 123) to stock-based employee compensation during the periods indicated with the Black-Scholes pricing model used for valuation of stock options.
