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 primarily in medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety applications. The Company's business development managers work to build long-term relationships that create value for customers, suppliers, employees and Share Owners, and this quest is supported globally from locations in six countries through prototype, new product development and introduction, supply chain management, test development, complete system assembly, and repair and reverse logistics services.
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:
production and testing of printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs);
industrialization and automation of the manufacturing processes;
product and process validation and qualification;
testing of products under a series of harsh conditions;
assembly and packaging of electronic and other related products; and
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 fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit a 35,000 square feet leased assembly operation located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana facility by mid-fiscal year 2012.
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. As part of the plan, the Company is consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland, into a new larger 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.
The Genesis acquisition is discussed in further detail 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 2011 net sales to automotive industry customers approximated one-fourth of the Company's EMS segment net sales.
Locations
As of June 30, 2011, the Company's EMS segment consisted of eight manufacturing facilities with one located in each of Indiana, Florida, California, Poland, China, Mexico, Thailand, and Wales, United Kingdom. The facilities located in Wales and California are being consolidated into other facilities 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 include 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 electronics subcontracting services market. 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 and start-up of new programs.  
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

4



Corp. The Company does not have a significant share of the EMS market and was ranked the 19th largest global EMS provider for calendar year 2010 by Manufacturing Market Insider in the March 2011 edition.
Raw Material Availability
Raw materials utilized in the manufacture of contract electronic products are generally readily available from both domestic and foreign sources, although from time to time the industry experiences shortages of certain components due to supply and demand forces, combined with rapid product life cycles of certain components. In addition, unforeseen events such as the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan can and have disrupted portions of the supply chain. The Company continues to monitor EMS suppliers who were affected either by physical damage to production facilities or indirect production impacts caused by electricity blackouts or aftershocks. There has been minimal disruption in the supply chain up to this point as the Company has maintained close communication with suppliers.
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 new product introductions and transfers of production between manufacturing facilities.
Customer Concentration
While the total electronic assemblies market has broad applications, the Company's customers are concentrated in the medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety industries. Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The Company's sales to Bayer AG began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. Margins on the Bayer AG product were 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 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 brand names and hospitality furniture sold under the Kimball Hospitality brand name. Kimball Office and National 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 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.
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.

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, 2011 were primarily produced at eleven plants: seven located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, and one each in Idaho and Virginia. The facility in Virginia was opened during fiscal year 2011 and houses a showroom and production operations to make upholstered seating, headboards, and other products for the Company's custom, program, and catalog offerings for hospitality guest rooms and public spaces. 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 grant alternate payment terms.
Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. The Company maintains sufficient finished goods inventories to be able to offer prompt shipment of certain lines of 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 quality products at the lowest total cost.

The Company owns the Kimball (registered trademark) trademark, which it believes is significant to the EMS and Furniture segments, and owns the following patents and trademarks which it believes are significant to the Furniture segment only:
Registered Trademarks:  National. Furniture with Personality, Cetra, Traxx, Interworks, Xsite, Definition, Skye, WaveWorks, Senator, Prevail, Eloquence, Hum. Minds at Work, Pura, and Fluent
Trademarks:  President, IntegraClear, Exhibit, Priority, Villa, and Wish
Patents:  Wish, Priority, Xsite, Exhibit (pending), Fluent (pending), and Villa (pending)
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 environment, 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, 2013, 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 - Risk Factors of this report. The Company makes no commitment to update these factors or to revise any forward-looking statements for events or circumstances occurring after the statement is issued, except as required in current and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC or otherwise by law.
At any time when the Company makes forward-looking statements, it desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 where factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

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:
general corporate profitability of the Company's end markets;
credit availability to the Company's end markets;
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;
white-collar unemployment rates;
commercial property vacancy rates;
new office construction and refurbishment rates;

8



new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates;
automotive industry fluctuations;
changes in the medical device industry;
demand for end-user products which include electronic assembly components produced by the Company;
excess capacity in the industries in which the Company competes; and
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 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 11%, 15%, and 12% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company's sales to Bayer AG began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. Margins on the Bayer AG product were 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.
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. 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's adjust their capacity as demand fluctuates, and component shortages and/or component allocations could occur. Certain finished products and components purchased by the Company are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. 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

9



customer order requirements. 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 trends 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.
The Company's restructuring efforts may not be successful.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit a small assembly facility located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana facility by mid-fiscal year 2012.
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 plan included the consolidation of the Company's EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland, into a new larger 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.
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:
difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition candidates and in negotiating and consummating acquisitions on terms attractive to the Company;
difficulties in the assimilation of the operations of the acquired company;
the diversion of resources, including diverting management's attention from current operations;
risks of entering new geographic or product markets in which the Company has limited or no direct prior experience;
the potential loss of key customers of the acquired company;
the potential loss of key employees of the acquired company;
the potential incurrence of indebtedness to fund the acquisition;
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;
the acquired business not achieving anticipated revenues, earnings, cash flow, or market share;
excess capacity;
the assumption of undisclosed liabilities; and
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. 

10



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:
economic and political instability;
compliance with laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, applicable to U.S. companies doing business outside the United States;
changes in foreign regulatory requirements and laws;
tariffs and other trade barriers;
potentially adverse tax consequences; and
foreign labor practices.
These risks could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact the Company's operating results. The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques the Company implements contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make the Company's products more expensive than competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company's revenues and profitability in international markets.
If the Company's efforts to introduce new products are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. The Furniture segment regularly introduces new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, and 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. 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.
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

11



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 implementation of new accounting standards or changes to U.S. GAAP could adversely impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Fluctuations in the Company's effective tax rate could have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The mix of pre-tax income or loss among the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates that have varying tax rates could impact the Company's effective tax rate. The Company is subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management's assessment. The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The Company has also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by the Company's income tax provisions and accruals.
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, 2011, the Company had no short-term borrowings under its credit facilities and had total cash and cash equivalents of $51.4 million. 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 adversely affect 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 contemplated applications. In addition, not all of the Company's products are covered by patents. It is also possible that the Company's patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, 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

12



audit failure could result in a partial or total suspension of production, fines, or criminal prosecution. Failure or noncompliance could have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation in addition to an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company is subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. The past and present operation and ownership by the Company of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. In addition, the increased prevalence of global climate 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 retaining experienced production employees difficult. 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 Company does not have operations located in Japan and thus has had no production facilities directly impacted by the effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Company continues to monitor EMS customers and suppliers who were affected either by physical damage to production facilities or indirect production impacts caused by electricity blackouts or aftershocks. There has been minimal disruption in the supply chain up to this point, but customers could still be impacted with part shortages unrelated to electronic components, and their production schedule reductions could cause the Company to have delayed or canceled orders. The Company has maintained close communications with customers and suppliers and notified them, where appropriate, of force majeure conditions which may impact the Company's performance.
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 management time and resources maintaining documentation and testing internal control over financial reporting. While management's evaluation as of June 30, 2011 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.

13



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.
The healthcare reform legislation passed in 2010 by the United States Federal Government is likely to increase the Company's 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.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) must be followed when producing defense related products for the U.S. government. A breach of these regulations could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
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.
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:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;
announcements concerning the Company, competitors, or industry;
overall volatility of the stock market;
changes in the financial estimates of securities analysts or investors regarding the Company, the industry, or competitors; and
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 of June 30, 2011, the Company is no longer leasing back the Poland facility that was sold during fiscal year 2010.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit the small leased EMS assembly facility located in California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Indiana EMS facility by mid-fiscal year 2012.
During fiscal year 2011, the Company opened a leased facility in Virginia which houses hospitality furniture production and a showroom.
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 2011.
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 office furniture showroom facilities which are not

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.

19



Overall market conditions in the EMS industry continue to be favorable. As reported in the July 2011 Manufacturing Market Insider (MMI) publication, an EMS industry sales projection (by New Venture research) shows forecasted growth for calendar year 2011 of 8.8% compared to calendar year 2010. In addition in June 2011, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) endorsed a forecast of 5.4% growth of semiconductor sales for calendar year 2011, and although the Company does not directly serve this market, it may be indicative of increased end market demand for products utilizing electronic components.
In the EMS segment, the Company focuses on the four key vertical markets of medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety. Demand in the medical and industrial control markets are showing signs of strength. Automotive activity was mixed as true end market demand was somewhat masked by reduced vehicle production and lower dealer inventories caused by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The public safety market remains 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 one-fourth of the EMS segment's net sales for fiscal year 2011.
The office furniture and hospitality furniture markets continue to show signs of improvement. As of May 2011, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (BIFMA) projected a 16% year-over-year increase in the office furniture industry for calendar year 2011 compared to the 7% increase in calendar year 2010 and the 29% decrease in calendar year 2009. BIFMA projects office furniture industry growth of approximately 10% in calendar year 2012 which would bring the industry closer to pre-recession levels. In addition, the hotel industry forecasts (reported by Smith Travel Research and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) project occupancy rates to increase approximately 4% in calendar year 2011 after a 6% increase in calendar year 2010 and a 9% industry decline in calendar year 2009 and project revenue per available room to increase 7% for calendar year 2011 after a 5% increase in calendar year 2010 and a 17% industry decline in calendar year 2009.
Competitive pricing pressures within both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment continue to put a strain on the Company's operating margins.
The Company is committed to ensuring it sustains the cost efficiencies and process improvements undertaken during the recession. In addition, 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 and likewise increases total compensation expense when profits are up. The focus on cost control continues. At the same time, the Company has continued making prudent investments in product development, technology, and marketing and business development initiatives to drive profitable growth. The Company also continues 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 2011, which included minimal long-term debt of $0.3 million and Share Owners' equity of $387.4 million. The Company's short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of the Company's revolving credit facility, was $146.2 million at June 30, 2011.
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:
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 began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. Margins on the Bayer AG product were 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. The transition to new programs may temporarily reduce sales and increase operating costs, resulting in a temporary decline in operating profit at the impacted business unit. See Item 1A - Risk Factors for more information on the risks related to contract customers.
The Company does not have operations located in Japan and thus has had no production facilities directly impacted by the effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Company continues to monitor EMS customers and suppliers who were affected either by physical damage to production facilities or indirect production impacts caused by electricity blackouts or aftershocks. There has been minimal disruption in the supply chain up to this point, but customers could still be impacted with part shortages unrelated to electronic components, and their production schedule reductions could cause the Company to have delayed or canceled orders. The Company has maintained close communications with customers and suppliers.
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.

20



The Company will continue its focus on preserving cash. 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 including potential acquisitions that would enhance the Company's capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.
Management continues to evaluate and monitor the implementation of the healthcare reform legislation that was signed into law in March 2010. This legislation is expected to increase the Company's healthcare and related administrative expenses.
Globalization continues to reshape not only the industries in which the Company operates but also its key customers and competitors.
The increasingly competitive marketplace mandates that the Company continually re-evaluate its business models.
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 processes help to maintain stability in management.
To support growth and diversification efforts, the Company focuses on both organic growth and potential acquisition targets. Acquisitions allow rapid diversification of both customers and industries served.
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 2011 Results of Operations
Financial Overview - Consolidated
Fiscal year 2011 consolidated net sales were $1.20 billion compared to fiscal year 2010 net sales of $1.12 billion, a 7% increase, resulting from a 16% net sales increase in the Furniture segment and a 2% net sales increase in the EMS segment. Fiscal year 2011 net income was $4.9 million, or $0.14 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The Company recorded net income for fiscal year 2010 of $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 a 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.
Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales improved to 16.2% for fiscal year 2011 from 15.7% in fiscal year 2010 primarily due to a shift in sales mix (as depicted in the table below) toward the Furniture segment which operates at a higher gross profit percentage than the EMS segment. Gross profit is discussed in more detail in the segment discussions below.

Fiscal year 2011 consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased 5.2% in absolute dollars, but decreased as a percent of net sales, compared to fiscal year 2010, on increased operating leverage as a result of the increase in revenue. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to higher commissions in the Furniture segment resulting from the higher sales volumes and higher labor costs which were partially offset by lower severance expense. In addition, the Company recorded $3.1 million of expense within selling and administrative expenses due to an increase in its Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) liability resulting from the normal revaluation of the liability to fair value during fiscal year 2011 compared to $1.5 million of expense which was recorded in fiscal year 2010. 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. Employee contributions comprise approximately 90% of the SERP investment.

21



The Company recorded no Other General Income during fiscal year 2011. Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included $6.7 million pre-tax gain recorded in the EMS segment related to the sale of the Company's land and facility that housed its Poland operation before moving to another facility in Poland. In addition, fiscal year 2010 Other General Income included $3.3 million of pre-tax income also recorded in the EMS segment resulting from settlement proceeds related to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member.
Other Income (Expense) included other income of $2.0 million for fiscal year 2011 compared to other income of $3.3 million for fiscal year 2010. The variance in other income was driven by unfavorable foreign exchange movement that impacts the EMS segment and a $1.2 million impairment loss related to the valuation of convertible notes which were partially offset by the increased SERP investment income mentioned above and a revaluation of stock warrants resulting in a gain of $1.0 million.
The fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate was (10.9)% as relatively low pre-tax income coupled with the favorable impact of the Company's earnings mix and the research and development credit resulted in a tax benefit 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 2011. The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate was (81.0)% as 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. See Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Comparing the balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2010, the increase in property and equipment was a result of the Company's purchase of machinery and equipment, primarily within the EMS segment. The Company's accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable balances declined in relation to lower sales levels toward the end of fiscal year 2011 within the EMS segment as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. The increased accrued expenses balance was comprised of increased accrued compensation, higher accrued selling expenses within the Furniture segment, and the reclassification of accrued restructuring from long-term to short-term as completion of the European consolidation plan is expected during the next fiscal year. The Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance increase was primarily the result of positive foreign currency translation adjustments. See Note 17 - Comprehensive Income of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Fiscal year 2011 EMS segment net sales to customers in the medical, industrial control, and public safety industries increased compared to fiscal year 2010 which more than offset a decrease in net sales to customers in the automotive industry. While open orders were down 17% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010 primarily due to lower orders from Bayer AG, 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 2011 EMS segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.2 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2010. The improvement was primarily driven by the benefit from a sales mix shift toward higher margin product, lower depreciation expense, and improved labor efficiencies at select units which more than offset inefficiencies related to the European restructuring activities and higher component costs related to the rapid ramp up of new customer programs.
EMS segment selling and administrative expenses in absolute dollars increased 7% in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 and also increased as a percent of net sales primarily due to increased salaries and employee benefit costs.

22



During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit the small assembly facility located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana facility by mid-fiscal year 2012. The pre-tax restructuring charges related to the Fremont restructuring plan recorded during fiscal year 2011 totaled $0.3 million. As the Company continues to execute its plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise near Poznan, Poland, the consolidation of its EMS facilities has a final completion target of mid-fiscal year 2012. The consolidation is expected to improve the Company's margins in the very competitive EMS market. The pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during fiscal year 2011 totaled $0.9 million, but the EMS segment also is experiencing inefficiencies related to the consolidation of the facilities. See Note 18 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges. The restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal year 2010 were primarily related to the European consolidation plan.
The EMS segment recorded no Other General Income during fiscal year 2011. 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 Income/Expense for fiscal year 2011 totaled expense of $1.9 million, compared to income of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2010. The variance in Other Income/Expense was primarily related to unfavorable foreign currency exchange movement in fiscal year 2011.
As a percent of net sales, operating income was 0.8% for fiscal year 2011 and 2.2% for fiscal year 2010. Fiscal year 2010 operating income included the gain on the sale of the Poland facility and land and also included the settlement from the class action lawsuit.
The EMS segment fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the earnings mix between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. 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, resulting from 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.
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 began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 due to the expiration of the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG.  This contract accounted for a majority of the sales to Bayer AG during fiscal year 2011. Margins on the Bayer AG product were 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, disruption to the supply chain and customer production schedules due to the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, 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 2011 net sales increase in the Furniture segment compared to fiscal year 2010 resulted primarily from increased net sales of office furniture and to a lesser extent from increased net sales of hospitality furniture. The increase in office furniture sales was the result of higher sales volumes which were partially offset by higher discounting net of price increases. Fiscal year 2011 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which have been sold for less than twelve months approximated $17.1 million. Open orders of furniture products at June 30, 2011 increased 28% from the orders open as of June 30, 2010 as open orders for both office furniture and hospitality furniture increased. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Fiscal year 2011 Furniture segment gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 0.7 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2010. Items contributing to the decline included increased discounting resulting from competitive pricing pressures and inflationary commodity cost increases. The gross profit decline was partially offset by price increases on select product and the increased operating leverage of the higher sales volumes.
Fiscal year 2011 selling and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars by 4.1%, but decreased as a percent of net sales on the higher sales volumes, when compared to fiscal year 2010. The selling and administrative expenses were impacted by higher commissions resulting from the higher net sales, higher profit-based incentive compensation costs, and higher costs associated with sales and marketing initiatives to drive growth, which were partially offset by lower severance expense.
As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was 0.2% for fiscal year 2011 and (2.3)% for fiscal year 2010.
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 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 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.
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. 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 within the terms of the agreement. 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.

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.
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.

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 had 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2011 was $178.0 million compared to working capital of $180.0 million at June 30, 2010. The current ratio was 1.8 at both June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.
The Company's internal measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), for fiscal year 2011 of 48.5 days was comparable to the 47.8 days for fiscal year 2010. 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 2011 increased to 64.4 days from 63.0 days for fiscal year 2010. 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 and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of the Company's revolving credit facility, totaled $146.2 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $161.1 million at June 30, 2010.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents position decreased from $65.3 million at June 30, 2010 to $51.4 million at June 30, 2011. The Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010. Operating activities generated $21.3 million of cash flow in fiscal year 2011 compared to the $13.4 million of cash generated by operating activities in fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2011, the Company reinvested $33.2 million into capital investments for the future, primarily for manufacturing equipment in the EMS segment. The Company also paid $7.3 million of dividends in fiscal year 2011. 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 2012, the Company expects to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects including potential acquisitions 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, 2011, 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, 2011 or June 30, 2010.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.2 million committed in letters of credit against the $100 million credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $94.8 million at June 30, 2011.
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, 2011, requires the Company to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the interest coverage ratio and minimum net worth. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
The table below compares the actual net worth and interest coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.

The Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis as defined in the credit agreement.
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 a specific foreign 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 6.0 million Euro equivalent (approximately $8.7 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2011 exchange rates). These foreign credit facilities can be canceled 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 2012 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 2011 was hampered by working capital variations which negatively impacted cash balances, and could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for the Company's products, loss of key contract customers, the

28



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, 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 2011, no level 1 or level 2 financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. For level 1 financial assets, readily available market pricing was used to value the financial instruments. The Company's foreign currency derivatives, which were classified as level 2 assets/liabilities, were independently valued 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. During fiscal year 2011, the convertible promissory notes experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair market value resulting in a $1.2 million impairment loss and, upon a qualified financing, were subsequently converted to non-marketable equity securities which are accounted for as a cost-method investment. 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 which resulted in a $1.0 million derivative gain as a result of the qualified financing. The fair value measurements for the 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, 2011, 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 2012 amount includes less than $0.1 million of long-term debt obligations due in fiscal year 2012 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:
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 2012 amount includes $5.6 million for SERP payments recorded as current liabilities.

29



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 2012 amount includes $8.2 million for restructuring employee transition payments and the related derivatives recorded as a current liability.
The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average remaining service life of employees. The fiscal year 2012 amount includes $0.9 million for severance payments recorded as a current liability.
The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data.  The fiscal year 2012 amount includes $1.2 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.
(d)
Excludes $4.3 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 2016. In certain instances, such as when lead times dictate, the Company enters into contractual agreements for material in excess of the levels required to fulfill customer orders. In turn, agreements with the customers cover a portion of that exposure for the material which was purchased prior to having a firm order.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than standby letters of credit and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on standby letters of credit. The Company does not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The Company's management overlays a fundamental philosophy of valuing its assets and liabilities in an appropriately conservative manner. 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.
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, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the reserve

30



for returns and allowances was $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The returns and allowances reserve approximated 1% to 3% of gross trade receivables during fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

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, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the two-year period preceding June 30, 2011, this reserve had approximated 1% of gross trade accounts receivable except for the period July 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.
Excess and obsolete inventory - Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 11% and 9% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, including approximately 81% and 78% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, 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 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, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company's accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.6 million and $4.7 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 $3.6 million at June 30, 2011 and $3.7 million at June 30, 2010.
New Accounting Standards

Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk: There was no balance in debt securities at June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had an investment in debt securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $2.5 million. These securities were classified as available-for-sale securities and were stated at fair value. The Company's policy for recording unrealized losses on debt securities is to recognize a loss in earnings when there is an intent to sell or a requirement 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. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2010 would have caused the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 13 - Investments 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, 2011 and 2010 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. 

Equity Risk: As of June 30, 2011, the Company held a non-marketable equity investment in a privately-held company. If the private company experiences certain events or circumstances, such as the loss of customers, the inability to achieve growth initiatives, or if there are factors beyond its control in the markets which it serves, the private company's performance could be affected materially resulting in a loss of some or all of its value, which could result in an other-than-temporary impairment of the investment. If an other-than-temporary impairment of fair value would occur, the investment would be adjusted down to its fair value and an impairment charge would be recognized in earnings. The non-marketable equity investment had a carrying amount of $1.8 million as of June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2010, there was no balance held in non-marketable equity investments.

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 accounting 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 Commission, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2011.
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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. 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, 2011, 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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011, 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, 2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
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.
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. 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.
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.
Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable: The Company's notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. The Company determines on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for the Company's limited number of notes receivable.
The Company's policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as agement, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. The Company's limited number of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Estimates of collectability result in an increase or decrease in selling expenses.
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 11% and 9% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, and remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories recorded on the Company's balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.
Property, Equipment, and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease. Major maintenance activities and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals and betterments are expensed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company performs reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date

40



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 2011 and 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.
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 2011, 2010, and 2009, amortization expense of other intangible assets was, in thousands, $2,367, $2,484, and $3,931, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $2,378, $2,009, $1,393, $875, and $391 in the five years ending June 30, 2016, and $579 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. 
Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were approximately, in millions, $13, $12, and $14 in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
Advertising: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs, included in selling and administrative expenses were, in millions, $4.3, $5.5, and $4.5, in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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.

42



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 uncertain tax positions, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company maintains a liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions. As tax periods are effectively settled, the liability is adjusted accordingly. 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.
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 TRW Automotive, Inc., represented 18% and 10%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2010. These customers did not have a material concentration of accounts receivable at June 30, 2011. Additionally, the Company currently has notes receivable with an electronics engineering services firm and a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility, and formerly had a loan agreement with a contract customer. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, $2.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, was outstanding under the notes receivables. The Company does not foresee a credit risk associated with the current balance of these receivables.
The Company's off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to operating leases entered into in the normal course of business as described in Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other General Income: No Other General Income was recorded in fiscal year 2011. 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) investments, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other 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

43



(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 uses derivatives primarily for 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. Additionally, the Company has an investment in stock warrants which is accounted for as a derivative instrument. See Note 12 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on derivative instruments and hedging activities.
Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 8 - Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company maintains stock-based compensation plans which allow for the issuance of restricted stock, restricted share units, unrestricted share grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance shares, performance units, and stock appreciation rights for grant to officers and other key employees of the Company and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees. The Company recognizes the cost resulting from share-based payment transactions using a fair-value-based method. The estimated fair value of outstanding performance shares 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 June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the Statement of Share Owners' Equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company's first quarter fiscal year 2013 financial statements on a retrospective basis. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend certain measurement and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements to improve consistency with international reporting standards. The guidance requires additional disclosures, including disclosures related to the measurement of level 3 assets. The guidance is effective prospectively for the Company's third quarter fiscal year 2012 financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not expect its adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
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, 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 became 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 became effective for the Company's third quarter fiscal year 2011 financial statements. These disclosures have been provided in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 20 - Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's 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 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 Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements.
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

44



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 VIE and requires additional disclosures about a company's involvement in VIEs. The guidance became effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2011. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Required disclosures have been provided in Note 19 - Variable Interest Entities 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 2011, 2010 and 2009 financial results. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill impairment. The purchase price allocation is final.

Note 3    Inventories
Inventories are valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 11% and 9% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, including approximately 81% and 78% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, 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 would have been $0.2 million higher in fiscal year 2011, $0.8 million lower in fiscal year 2010, and $2.4 million lower in fiscal year 2009. Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income by $0.9 million in fiscal year 2011, $1.3 million in fiscal year 2010, and $2.5 million in fiscal year 2009.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, including asset write-downs associated with the Company's restructuring plans, totaled, in millions, $29.0 for fiscal year 2011, $32.5 for fiscal year 2010, and $33.9 for fiscal year 2009.
At June 30, 2011, in thousands, assets totaling $2,807 were classified as held for sale, including $1,647 for a tract of land in Poland and $1,160 for a facility and land related to the Gaylord, Michigan exited operation, both within the EMS segment. The Poland land is reported as an EMS segment asset, and the Gaylord, Michigan facility and land are reported as unallocated corporate assets for segment reporting purposes. At June 30, 2010, the Company had, in thousands, assets totaling $1,160 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 2012 to 2056, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions, $3.3, $2.8, $1.9, $1.5, and $0.8 for the five years ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and aggregate $0.7 million from fiscal year 2017 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, $6.2, $5.4, and $6.1 in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, including certain leases requiring contingent lease payments based on warehouse space utilized, which amounted to expense of, in millions, $0.5, $0.4, and $1.1 in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no capitalized leases.
Guarantees:
As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, 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 $5.2 million as of June 30, 2011 and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2010. 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, 2011 and 2010 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 2011, 2010, and 2009 were as follows:

Note 6    Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility
Long-term debt, less current maturities as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, was, in thousands, $286 and $299, respectively, and current maturities of long-term debt were, in thousands, $12 and $61, respectively. Long-term debt consists of a long-term note payable, which has an interest rate of 9.25% and matures in 2025. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $12, $14, $15, $16, and $18, respectively, and aggregate $223 thereafter.

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 2011, 2010, and 2009. 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 debt covenants including interest coverage ratio and net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The Company had $5.2 million in letters of credit against the credit facility at June 30, 2011.
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 canceled 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 Poland allows for multi-currency borrowings up to a 6 million Euro equivalent (approximately $8.7 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2011 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 canceled 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).
As of both June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no outstanding short-term borrowings. Cash payments for interest on borrowings were, in thousands, $121, $203, and $1,807, in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. Capitalized interest expense was immaterial during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

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 which permits participants to make 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 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

47



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, $5.0, $4.5, and $0.0 for fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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 2011, 2010, and 2009 was, in millions, $0.5, $0.6, and $0.7, respectively.
Severance Plans:
The Company maintains severance plans for all domestic employees which 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 decrease in the benefit obligation primarily resulted from a decrease 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.

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 $301, 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 for all of the plans was $1.3 million, $1.8 million, and $2.1 million in fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The total income tax benefit for stock compensation arrangements was $0.5 million, $0.7 million, and $0.9 million in fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. The Company generally uses treasury shares for fulfillment of option exercises and issuance of performance shares.
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 issued 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.
A summary of performance share activity under the 2003 Plan during fiscal year 2011 is presented below:

As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $2.0 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 2011 through August 2015, with a weighted average vesting period of 1.6 years. The fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of 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 $5.10; $6.25; and $10.37 for performance share awards granted in fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. During fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, 141,049; 140,832; and 109,197 performance shares vested at a fair value of $0.9 million, $1.1 million, and $1.3 million. These shares are the total number of shares vested, prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. 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 employees and members of the Board of Directors 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 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, the Company granted a total of 46,977; 19,662; and 29,545 unrestricted shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $6.71, $7.63, and $6.45, for a total fair value of $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million. These shares are the total number of shares granted, prior to the reduction of shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. These shares were awarded to non-employee 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. Director's fees are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation. Other unrestricted shares were awarded to officers and other key employees as consideration for their service to the Company.
Restricted Share Units:
Nonvested Restricted Share Units (RSU) were awarded to officers and other key employees under the 2003 Plan in fiscal years prior to fiscal year 2011. As of June 30, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation arrangements awarded under the 2003 Plan as all RSU's had vested. The total fair value of RSU awards vested during fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009 was, in thousands, $0, $3,366, and $4,137, 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 2011, 2010, and 2009. 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 two 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.

Note 9    Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Income tax benefits associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $5,749 expire from fiscal year 2013 to 2031. Income tax benefits associated with tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $6,272, expire from fiscal year 2012 to 2025. A valuation reserve was provided as of June 30, 2011 for deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating losses of, in thousands, $1,967, certain state tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $4,560, and, in thousands, $171 related to other deferred tax assets that the Company currently believes are more likely than not to remain unrealized in the future.

Foreign unremitted earnings of entities not included in the United States tax return have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States because it is not anticipated such earnings will be remitted to the United States. The aggregate unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred income tax liability has not been recorded was approximately $72.8 million as of June 30, 2011. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on unremitted earnings is not practicable.

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 2008. 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.
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:
Level 1:  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
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.
Level 3:  Unobservable inputs reflecting management's own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:
Financial Instrument
Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Cash Equivalents
Market - Quoted market prices
Available-for-sale securities: Convertible debt securities
Market - Fair value approximated using the amortized cost basis of promissory notes, with the discount amortized to interest income over the term of the notes
Derivative Assets: Foreign exchange contracts
Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates, considering counterparty credit risk
Derivative Assets: Stock warrants
Market - Based on a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following inputs: risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life, and estimated stock price
Trading securities: Mutual funds held by nonqualified
     supplemental employee retirement plan
Market - Quoted market prices
Derivative Liabilities: Foreign exchange contracts
Market - Based on observable market inputs using standard calculations, such as time value, forward interest rate yield curves, and current spot rates adjusted for the Company's non-performance risk

During fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased convertible debt securities of $2.3 million and stock warrants of $0.4 million. During fiscal year 2011, the convertible debt securities experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair market value resulting in a $1.2 million impairment loss and, upon a qualified financing, were subsequently converted to non-marketable equity securities. The investment in non-marketable equity securities is accounted for as a cost-method investment and is included in the Disclosure of Other Financial Instruments section that follows. See Note 13 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the convertible debt securities and non-marketable equity securities. The revaluation of stock warrants resulted in a $1.0 million derivative gain as a result of the qualified financing. See Note 12 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the stock warrants.
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 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements:
During fiscal year 2011, the Company had no fair value adjustments applicable to items that are subject to non-recurring fair value measurement after the initial measurement date.



56



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
 
Accounts payable
Receivables
 
Dividends payable
Other assets not recorded at fair value
 
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, 2011 and 2010.

Non-marketable equity securities are accounted for under the cost method of accounting, which carries the shares at cost except in the event of impairment. These securities were received in June 2011 as a result of a conversion of convertible notes, which had been adjusted to fair value prior to the conversion. The $1.8 million carrying value of non-marketable securities as of June 30, 2011 is approximately equal to the fair value.

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, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts to hedge currencies against the U.S. dollar in the aggregate notional amount of $16.9 million and to hedge currencies against the Euro in the aggregate notional amount of 27.5 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.
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, 2011, the Company estimates that $0.1 million of pre-tax derivative gains 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, 2012. Gains on foreign exchange contracts are generally offset by losses in operating costs in the income statement when the underlying hedged transaction is recognized in earnings.

57



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 12 and 11 months as of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, 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.

As part of the June 2011 qualified financing related to the convertible debt securities, the latest preferred stock offering price of warrants was modified to a $0.25 per share exercise price (originally based on the previous offering price of $1.50), and the number of warrants was modified to 11 million shares (originally 1,833,000 shares). The qualified financing did not impact the common warrants, which remained at a $0.15 per share exercise price (2,750,000 shares). The current market value of the underlying securities was estimated based on the per share valuation of the underlying privately-held company, using a discounted cash flow method. The revaluation of warrants due to the change in terms and the valuation of underlying business resulted in a $1.0 million gain during fiscal year 2011, recognized in the Non-operating income line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 13 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the qualified financing and conversion of debt securities.

The value of the stock warrants fluctuates 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. The stock warrants expire in June 2017.
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    Investments
Municipal Securities:
The Company's investment portfolio included available-for-sale securities which were comprised of exempt securities issued by municipalities ("Municipal Securities"). During fiscal year 2010, the Company sold all of its municipal securities and thus had no municipal securities outstanding as of June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Activity for the municipal securities that were classified as available-for-sale was as follows:

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 on municipal securities during fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009.
Convertible Debt and Non-marketable Equity Securities:
During fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased secured convertible promissory notes from a privately-held company. The convertible notes were accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities and were recorded at fair value, approximated using

59



the amortized cost basis of the notes. See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities were included in the Short-Term Investments line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the convertible notes was $2.5 million, excluding accrued interest. Interest accrued on the debt securities at a rate of 8.00% per annum and was due with the principal in June 2011. 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.

In June 2011, the privately-held company completed a qualified financing, resulting in the conversion of the convertible notes into 12.2 million preferred shares. Prior to the conversion, the Company determined that its investment in convertible notes had experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair market value. Because there was no active market for the convertible notes, the fair market value of the convertible notes was calculated using a discounted cash flow method, resulting in a new cost basis, including accrued interest, of $1.8 million. The valuation of the convertible notes resulted in a $1.2 million impairment loss recognized in earnings during fiscal year 2011. The subsequent conversion of the convertible notes to shares had no earnings impact. The new shares are classified as non-marketable equity securities accounted for under the cost method of accounting, which carries the shares at cost except in the event of impairment. The new shares had a carrying value of $1.8 million at June 30, 2011, and are included in the Other Assets line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the aggregate, the former investment in convertible notes and the current investment in private equity do not rise to the level of a material variable interest or a controlling interest in the privately-held company which would require consolidation.
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 administrative 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, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was, in thousands, $2,611, $1,385, and $(2,739), respectively.

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, $135.7, $169.6, and $149.5 in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, representing 11%, 15%, and 12% 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, investments, and other assets not allocated to segments. Unallocated corporate income consists of income not allocated to segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance and includes income from corporate investments and other non-operational items. Sales between the Furniture segment and EMS segment are not material.
The Company evaluates segment performance based upon several financial measures, including economic profit, which incorporates a segment's cost of capital when evaluating financial performance, operating income, and net income. Operating income and net income 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.

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 for fiscal year 2010 and 2009 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 had a nonforfeitable right to dividends and were deducted from the above dividends and undistributed earnings figures allocable to common Share Owners. All restricted share units vested during fiscal year 2010.

In fiscal year 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, all 625,000, 693,000, and 755,000 average stock options outstanding were antidilutive and were excluded from the dilutive calculation.

Note 18   Restructuring Expense
The Company recognized consolidated pre-tax restructuring expense of $1.0 million, $2.1 million, and $3.0 million in fiscal years 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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 segment office furniture manufacturing consolidation plan, and the EMS Gaylord and Hibbing 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.

Fremont Restructuring Plan:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit a small leased EMS assembly facility located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana EMS facility by mid-fiscal year 2012. The Company expects total pre-tax restructuring charges to be approximately $0.9 million, including $0.3 million related to severance and other employee transition costs, and $0.6 million related to lease and other exit costs.
European Consolidation Plan:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise near Poznan, Poland. The plan is being executed in stages with a projected final completion date of mid-fiscal year 2012. As part of the plan:

The Company successfully completed the move of production from Longford, Ireland, into a former Poznan, Poland facility during the fiscal year 2009 second quarter.
Construction of a new, larger facility in Poland was completed.
The Company sold the former 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 former Poland facility was leased back until the transfer of the remaining production to the new facility was completed in fiscal year 2011.
The Company is in the process of consolidating its EMS facility located in Wales, United Kingdom into the new facility, which is expected to improve the Company's margins in the very competitive EMS market.

The Company currently estimates that the total pre-tax charges, excluding the gain on the sale of the former facility and construction of the new facility, related to the consolidation activities will be approximately, in millions, $21.4 consisting of $20.0 of severance and other employee costs, $0.5 of property and equipment asset impairment, $0.4 of lease exit costs, and $0.5 of other exit costs.

Note 19    Variable Interest Entities
The Company's involvement with variable interest entities (VIEs) is limited to situations in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company lacks the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required.
The Company is involved with VIEs consisting of an investment in preferred stock and stock warrants of a privately-held company, a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility, and notes receivable resulting from loans provided to an electronics engineering services firm during fiscal year 2011. The Company also has a business development cooperation agreement with the electronic engineering services firm. For information related to the Company's investment in the privately-held company, see Note 13 - Investments and Note 12 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The combined carrying value of the notes receivable is $2.8 million, with no reserve, as of June 30, 2011, with the short-term portion recorded on the Receivables line and the long-term portion recorded on the Other Assets line of the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has no material exposure related to the VIEs in addition to the items recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company has no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIEs, and thus its risk of loss related to the VIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investments and notes receivable. The Company did not provide any financial support in addition to the items discussed above to the VIEs during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Note 20   Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable

The Company monitors credit quality and associated risks of notes receivable on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions. The Company holds collateral for the note receivable from the sale of an Indiana facility thereby mitigating the risk of loss. As of June 30, 2011, none of the outstanding notes receivable are past due.
