PART I

Item 1 - Business

General

As used herein, the term "Company" refers to Kimball International, Inc., the Registrant, and its subsidiaries and reference to a year relates to a fiscal year, ended June 30 of the year indicated, rather than a calendar year unless the context indicates otherwise. Additionally, references to the first, second, third, and fourth quarters refer to those respective quarters of the fiscal year indicated.

The Company was incorporated in Indiana in 1939. The corporate headquarters is located at 1600 Royal Street, Jasper, Indiana.  

The Company 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 to a variety of industries globally. The EMS segment, formerly named the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, was renamed during fiscal year 2008 to more accurately reflect the focus of the segment.  The Furniture segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names.  Production currently occurs in Company-owned or leased facilities located in the United States, Mexico, Thailand, China, Poland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the Company has facilities and showrooms in ten states and the District of Columbia.

  Sales by Product Line and Segment

Sales from continuing operations by segment, after elimination of intersegment sales, for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008 were as follows:

Segments

   Electronic Manufacturing Services

  Overview

The Company entered the electronic manufacturing services market in 1985 with knowledge acquired from the production of electronic organs, which were first produced in 1963. The Company's focus is on electronic assemblies that have high durability requirements such as automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety applications. 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 the insertion and attachment of microchips and other electronic capacitors and conductors in ever more complex and smaller designs onto multi-layered circuit boards, the production of wiring harnesses and other electronic equipment, assembling such into subassemblies or final products, testing of products under a series of harsh conditions, and assembly and packaging of electronic and other related products, all to the specifications and designs of customers.  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.

In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its business model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing business environment. Within the Company's EMS segment, the restructuring activities included realigning engineering and technical resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes. The plan also included reducing corporate personnel costs to more properly align with the overall sales mix change within the Company. This plan was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2008.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company acquired Reptron Electronics, Inc. ("Reptron"), a U.S. based electronics manufacturing services company which provided engineering services, electronics manufacturing services, and display integration services. Reptron had four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida; Hibbing, Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont, California. The acquisition increased the Company's capabilities and expertise in support of the Company's long-term strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end industrial sectors. With the acquisition, the Company recognized it would have excess capacity in North America.  Management developed a plan as of the acquisition date to consolidate capacity within the acquired facilities.  Based on a review of future growth potential in various geographies and input from existing customers regarding future capacity needs, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company finalized a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit the manufacturing facility located in Gaylord, Michigan.  Production ceased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the facility is currently held for sale.  During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a restructuring plan to further consolidate its EMS facilities that resulted in the exit of the manufacturing facility located in Hibbing, Minnesota. Production at the Hibbing facility ceased in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Company's lease of the Hibbing facility ends in December 2008. A majority of the Gaylord and Hibbing business transferred to several of the Company's other worldwide EMS facilities.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company acquired an operation in Wales, United Kingdom, which currently provides manufacturing services for medical diagnostic systems such as assembling and packaging medical test strips and assembling and testing of electronic diagnostic testers. This facility is FDA certified and was acquired to support the Company's efforts to capitalize on growth opportunities in the medical market. The Company also acquired a printed circuit board assembly operation in Longford, Ireland, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. As part of the plan, the Company will consolidate its EMS facilities located in Longford, Ireland; Wales, United Kingdom; and Poznan, Poland; into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve margins in the very competitive EMS market. The plan includes the sale of the existing Poland building at a gain which will partially fund the consolidation activities.  The plan is to be executed in stages with a projected completion date of December 2011. 

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the production for select programs was transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility ceased in the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and the facility was sold during fiscal year 2008. The decision to exit this facility was a result of excess capacity in North America.

Late in fiscal year 2007, the Company began production in a new manufacturing facility built in Nanjing, China.

The acquisitions are discussed in further detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 and in Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities is located in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 and in Note 17 - 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 2008 net sales to automotive industry customers approximated one-third of the Company's EMS segment net sales.

  Locations

As of June 30, 2008, the Company's EMS segment consisted of ten manufacturing facilities with two located in Indiana and one in each of Florida, California, China, Mexico, Thailand, Poland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. During fiscal year 2008, the Company ceased production in one facility in Michigan and one facility in Minnesota pursuant to restructuring plans.  The contract electronics manufacturing industry in general has been faced with excess capacity. The Company has not been immune to the economic slowdown and continually evaluates its operations as to the most optimum capacity and service levels by geographic region. A plan was approved to consolidate the Company's EMS facilities located in Ireland, Wales, and Poland into a new, larger facility in Poland over the next several fiscal years. Operations located outside of the United States continue to be an integral part of the Company's EMS segment. See Item 1A - Risk Factors for information regarding financial and operational risks related to the Company's international operations.

  Marketing Channels

Manufacturing and engineering services are marketed by the Company's business development team. Contract electronic assemblies are manufactured based on specific orders, generally resulting in a small amount of finished goods consisting primarily of goods awaiting shipment to specific customers.

  Major Competitive Factors

Key competitive factors in the EMS market are competitive pricing, quality and reliability, engineering design services, production flexibility, on-time delivery, customer lead time, test capability, and global presence. Growth in the EMS industry is created through the proliferation of electronic components in today's advanced products along with the continuing trend of original equipment manufacturers in the electronics industry to subcontract the assembly process to companies with a core competence in this area. The nature of the EMS industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program matures and becomes established. The segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the EMS industry and more specifically this segment's new program launches and diversification efforts. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs.

The Company does not believe that it, or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the EMS segment other than fluctuating inventory levels which may increase in conjunction with transfers of production among facilities.

  Competitors

The EMS industry is very competitive as numerous manufacturers compete for business from existing and potential customers. The Company's competition includes EMS companies such as Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., and Plexus Corp. The Company does not have a significant share of the EMS market and was ranked the 16th largest EMS provider for calendar year 2007 by Manufacturing Market Insider in their March 2008 edition.   

  Raw Material Availability

Raw materials utilized in the manufacture of contract electronic products are generally readily available from both domestic and foreign sources, although from time to time the industry experiences shortages of certain components due to supply and demand forces, combined with rapid product life cycles of certain components. Raw materials are normally acquired for specific customer orders and may or may not be interchangeable among products. Inherent risks associated with rapid technological changes within this contract industry are mitigated by procuring raw materials, for the most part, based on firm orders.  The Company may also purchase additional inventory to support transfers of production between manufacturing facilities.

  Customer Concentration

While the total electronic assemblies market has broad applications, the Company's customers are concentrated in the automotive, medical, industrial, and public safety industries. Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates and TRW Automotive, Inc. Sales to these two customers accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

TRW sales as a percent of EMS segment net sales

27%

The fiscal year 2008 reduction in sales to Bayer AG as compared to fiscal year 2007 is related to two factors. First, in January 2007, Bayer AG sold its diagnostics unit to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company's net sales which were formerly to Bayer AG affiliates in fiscal year 2007 are now to Siemens AG. Second, net sales to Bayer AG affiliates were impacted as a result of the Company's selling price reduction effective January 2007 to Bayer AG affiliates which was offset by an equal reduction in the cost of raw materials purchased from Bayer AG affiliates. The fiscal year 2007 increase in sales to Bayer AG as compared to fiscal year 2006 resulted from the acquisition of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited which occurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.  The Company also continues to focus on diversification of the EMS segment customer base. The reduced TRW Automotive, Inc. percentages of segment and consolidated net sales were a result of certain TRW Automotive, Inc. products reaching end of life in addition to the higher total net sales base resulting from the acquisitions.

   Furniture

  Overview

Since 1950, the Company has produced wood furniture and cabinets. During fiscal year 2007, the Company ceased manufacturing contract private label products as it increased focus on core markets. These core markets include office furniture sold under the Kimball Office and National Office Furniture brand names and hospitality furniture sold under the Kimball Hospitality brand name. Kimball Office and National Office Furniture provide office furniture solutions for private offices, open floor plan areas, conference rooms, training rooms, lobby, and lounge areas with a vast mix of wood, metal, laminate, paint, and fabric options.  Products include desks, credenzas, seating, tables, systems/dividers, filing and storage units, and accessories such as audio visual boards and task lighting.  Kimball Office products tend to focus on the more complex customer solutions, and National Office Furniture products are geared more to the mid-market/less complex/lower cost aspect of the office furniture market.  Kimball Hospitality provides furniture solutions for hotel properties, condominiums, and mixed use developments.  Products include headboards, desks, tables, dressers, 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.

As part of the workforce reduction restructuring activities discussed in the EMS segment above, within the Company's Furniture segment, the restructuring activities included realigning information technology and procurement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes to drive further synergies afforded by the alignment of the sales and manufacturing functions within this segment. Related expenditures are primarily for employee severance and transition costs. This plan was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2008 with a few activities expected to occur in the first half of fiscal year 2009 in the Furniture segment.

In conjunction with the cessation of manufacturing contract private label products, during fiscal year 2007 the Company approved a plan to exit the production of wood rear projection television ("PTV") cabinets and stands within the Furniture segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company's Juarez, Mexico, operation. For some time, the market demand for wood rear PTV cabinets had been declining due to the market shift to plasma and LCD large-screen televisions. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, financial results associated with the Mexican operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and all prior periods were restated.  The discontinued operations are discussed in further detail in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 and in Note 18 - Discontinued Operations of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As part of the Company's plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture segment, the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of administrative, marketing, and business development functions to better serve the segment's primary markets. Expenses related to this plan include software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance, and other consolidation costs.  This plan was complete as of June 30, 2008.

Additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities is located in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 and in Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

  Locations

The Company's furniture products as of June 30, 2008 were primarily produced at twelve plants: nine located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, and one in Idaho. In addition, select finished goods are purchased from external sources. The Company continually assesses manufacturing capacity and has adjusted such capacity in recent years.  

A facility in Indiana houses an Education Center for dealer and employee training, a Research and Development Center, and a Corporate Showroom for product display. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China, to facilitate sourcing of product from Pacific Rim countries. Office furniture showrooms are maintained in ten cities in the United States.

  Marketing Channels

Kimball Office and National brands of office furniture are marketed through Company salespersons to end users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and catalog houses throughout North America and on an international basis. Hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturers' representatives.

  Major Competitive Factors

The Company's furniture is sold in the office furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries have similar major competitive factors which include price in relation to quality and appearance, the utility of the product, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-standard products. The Company offers payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances may allow alternate payment terms.

Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. The Company maintains sufficient finished goods inventories to be able to offer prompt shipment of certain lines of Kimball Office and National office furniture as well as most of the Company's own lines of hospitality furniture. The Company also produces contract hospitality furniture to customers' specifications and shipping timelines. Many office furniture products are shipped through the Company's delivery system, which the Company believes offers it the ability to reduce damage to product, enhance scheduling flexibility, and improve the capability for on-time deliveries.

The Company does not believe that it, or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the Company's business.  The Company does receive advance payments on select furniture projects primarily in the hospitality industry. 

  Competitors

There are numerous manufacturers of office and hospitality furniture competing within the marketplace, with a significant number of competitors offering similar products. The Company believes, however, that there are a limited number of relatively large manufacturers of wood office and hospitality furniture. In many instances wood office furniture competes in the market with metal office furniture. Based on available industry statistics, metal office furniture has a larger share of the total office furniture market.

The Company's competition includes office furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase, Inc., Herman Miller, Inc., Knoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc., and HNI Corporation and hospitality furniture manufacturers such as American of Martinsville, Fleetwood Fine Furniture, Inc., Thomasville Furniture Industries, Inc., and Fairmont Designs.

  Raw Material Availability

Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally within the segment and are generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood furniture. With the exception of rolled steel, raw materials used in the manufacture of metal office furniture have been readily available in the global market. While the Company has been able to maintain an appropriate supply of rolled steel to meet demand, general supply limitations in the market are impacting costs. Certain fabricated seating components and wood frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a global scale in an effort to provide a quality product at the lowest total cost.

  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, five of the Company's showrooms 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, 2010, will not represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.

The Company's manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil. Federal and state statutes and regulations control the allocation of fuels available to the Company, but to date the Company has experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In its wood processing plants, a portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of the Company's own wood waste products.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

The following important risk factors, among others, could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, any such list should not be considered to be a complete statement of all the Company's potential risks or uncertainties. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.

Unfavorable macroeconomic and industry conditions could adversely impact demand for the Company's products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for the Company's products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:

  • general corporate profitability of the Company's end markets;

  • profitability of financial institutions to whom the Company sells office furniture which are being impacted by the credit market issues;

  • new office construction and refurbishment rates;

  • new hotel and casino construction and refurbishment rates;

  • automotive industry fluctuations, specifically variation in the performance and market share of U.S. based auto manufacturers;

  • 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.

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The electronic manufacturing services industry is very competitive as numerous manufacturers compete globally for business from existing and potential customers. The office and hospitality furniture industries are also competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. The high level of competition in these industries impacts the Company's ability to implement price increases or, in some cases, even maintain prices, which could lower profit margins.

The Company faces pricing pressures that could adversely affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company faces pricing pressures in both of its segments, especially the EMS segment, as a result of intense competition from large EMS providers, emerging products, or over-capacity. While the Company works toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if the Company cannot achieve the proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.  As end markets dictate, the Company is continually assessing excess capacity and developing plans to better utilize manufacturing operations, including consolidating and shifting manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary.

Reduction of purchases by or the loss of one or more key customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Losses of key contract customers within specific industries or significant volume reductions from key contract customers are both risks. If a current customer of the Company merges with or is acquired by a party that currently is aligned with a competitor, the Company could lose future revenues.  In addition, continuing success of the Company is dependent upon replacing expiring contract customers/programs with new customers/programs. One of the Company's customers, TRW Automotive, Inc., accounted for approximately 7%, 8%, and 12% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. As a result of the acquisition of the Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom, manufacturing operations of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited in the Company's fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, sales to Bayer are also significant and accounted for 11%, 15%, and 6% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Significant declines in the level of purchases by these customers within the EMS segment or other key customers in either of the Company's segments, or the loss of a significant number of customers, could have a material adverse effect on business. In addition, the nature of the contract electronics manufacturing industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently, and new customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to the credit risk of customers, including risk of bankruptcy, and is subject to losses from accounts receivable.

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. Maintaining strong relationships with key suppliers of components critical to the manufacturing process is essential. The Company also purchases select finished goods. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to the Company in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt the Company's operations and negatively impact the Company's ability to meet commitments to customers.

The Company could be adversely affected by increased commodity costs or availability of raw materials. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on profitability if the Company cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. In recent years, the Company has experienced increases in the prices of key commodities used in Furniture segment products, such as steel and wood composite sheet stock.  Raw materials utilized by the Company are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact the Company's ability to meet customer order requirements.

The Company's operating results are impacted by the cost of fuel and other energy sources.  The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities.  If the cost of energy continues to increase, it 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 new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

A change in the Company's sales mix among various products could have a negative impact on the gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact the gross margin of the Company as margins of different products vary. The Company strives to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively or in connection with the start-up of a new program. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company's restructuring efforts may not be successful.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. As part of the plan, the Company will consolidate its EMS facilities located in Longford, Ireland; Wales, United Kingdom; and Poznan, Poland; into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve margins in the very competitive EMS market. The plan includes the sale of the existing Poland building at a gain which will partially fund the consolidation activities. 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 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.

The above risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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.  Continued success of the EMS segment start-up operation in China is critical for securing additional customers for this operation.  Production at this new facility occurred throughout fiscal year 2008 and is expected to continue ramping up. 

12


Our international operations involve financial and operational risks. The Company has operations outside the United States, primarily in China, Thailand, Poland, Ireland, 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;

  • 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 our operating results. The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques the Company implements contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make the Company's products more expensive than competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company's revenues and profitability in international markets.

If the Company's efforts to introduce new products are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. The EMS segment depends on industries that utilize technologically advanced electronics components which often have short life cycles. The Company must continue to invest in advanced equipment and product development to remain competitive in this area. The Furniture segment regularly introduces new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, safety standards such as ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product performance. The introduction of new products requires the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of such products. The design and engineering of certain new products can take nine to eighteen months or more, and further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product may be delayed or be less successful than originally anticipated by the Company. Difficulties or delays in introducing new products or lack of customer acceptance of new products could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline.

If customers do not perceive the Company's products to be 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 high quality products and superior services. If customers do not perceive our products and services to be of high quality, the Company's brand and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

A loss of independent manufacturing representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a decline in sales of the Company's Furniture segment products. The Company's office furniture is marketed primarily through Company salespersons to end users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and catalog houses. The Company's hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturing representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company must effectively manage working capital. The Company has historically had positive operating cash flows, but effective management of working capital is key to continuing that trend. The Company closely monitors inventory and receivable efficiencies and continuously strives to improve these measures of working capital but customer financial difficulties, 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.

13


There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Any changes in estimates, judgments, and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company's financial statements filed with the SEC are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the preparation of such financial statements includes making estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and related reserves, revenues, expenses, and income. Estimates are inherently subject to change in the future, and such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets, liabilities, income, or expenses and likewise could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

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 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 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 nondisclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, the Company's intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world the Company has limited protections, if any, for its intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of the Company's intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by the claims of the various patents and trademarks may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of the Company's products are covered by patents. It is also possible that the Company's patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, cancelled, narrowed, or circumvented.

A third party could claim that the Company has infringed on their intellectual property rights. The Company could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights which could lead to the Company spending time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

The Company's insurance may not adequately protect the Company from liabilities related to product defects. The Company maintains product liability and other insurance coverage that the Company believes to be generally in accordance with industry practices. However, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the Company fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects, particularly if the Company has a large number of defective products or if the root cause is disputed.

The Company's failure to maintain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registration of one or more of its registered manufacturing facilities could negatively impact the Company's ability to produce products for customers in the medical industry.  The Company is diversifying the EMS segment which includes increasing sales to customers in the regulated medical industry.  To maintain FDA registration, the Company is subject to FDA audits of the manufacturing process.  FDA audit failure could result in a partial or total suspension of production, fines, or criminal prosecution. Failure or noncompliance could have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation in addition to an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

14


The Company is subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. The past and present operation and ownership by the Company of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. The Company cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures by the Company, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.

The Company's failure to retain the existing management team and continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company's business. 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 managerial personnel. Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company's business.

Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in certain geographic areas makes it difficult to retain experienced production employees. Turnover could result in additional training and inefficiencies that could impact the Company's operating results.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact the Company's production schedules and, in turn, negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist attacks, power interruptions, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise the ability to produce or deliver the Company's products.  The Company's manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil, and governmental regulations control the allocation of such fuels to the Company.  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 these matters but such may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to the Company in the event of such an interruption.

The requirements of being a public company may strain the Company's resources and distract management. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Among other requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the Company maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company has, and expects to continue to, expend significant management time and resources maintaining documentation and testing internal control over financial reporting. While management's evaluation as of June 30, 2008 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.

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 government regulations;

  • 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.

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 2008.

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 idle facilities and nine leased showroom facilities, total 402,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2009 to 2056 with many of the leases subject to renewal options. The leased showroom facilities are in six states and the District of Columbia.  (See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning leases.)

The Company owns approximately 27,800 acres of land which includes land where various Company facilities reside, including approximately 27,300 acres generally for hardwood timber reserves and approximately 180 acres of land in the Kimball Industrial Park, Jasper, Indiana (a site for certain production and other facilities, and for possible future expansions).  During fiscal year 2009, the Company intends to sell approximately 27,300 acres of timber and farm land that it currently owns.

Performance Graph

The following performance graph is not deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into such a filing.

The graph below compares the cumulative total return to Share Owners of the Company's Class B Common Stock from June 30, 2003, through June 30, 2008, the last business day in the respective fiscal years, to the cumulative total return of the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. and Foreign) and a peer group index for the same period of time.  Due to the diversity of its operations, the Company is not aware of any public companies that are directly comparable to it.  Therefore, the peer group index is comprised of publicly traded companies in both of the Company's segments, as follows:

EMS Segment:  Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., Plexus Corp.
Furniture Segment:  HNI Corp., Knoll Inc., Steelcase, Inc., Herman Miller, Inc.

In order to reflect the segment allocation of Kimball International, Inc., a market capitalization-weighted index was first computed for each segment group, then a composite peer group index was calculated based on each segment's proportion of net sales to total consolidated sales for each fiscal year.  The public companies included in the peer group have a larger revenue base than each of the Company's business segments.

The performance graph also includes the S&P Midcap 400 Index, which, in years prior to fiscal year 2008, had been an index of companies with market capitalization levels similar to the Company.  However, this index is no longer comparable.  The S&P Midcap 400 index is provided in the graph below to show the impact of the transition between this index and the new peer group index and will not be provided in future years. 

The graph assumes $100 is invested in the Company's stock and each of the three indexes at the closing market quotations on June 30, 2003 and that dividends are reinvested.  The performances shown on the graph are not necessarily indicative of future price performance.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Kimball International, Inc. provides a variety of products from its two business segments: the Furniture segment and the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment. The Furniture segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names. The EMS segment provides engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of industries globally.  The EMS segment, formerly named the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, was renamed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 to more accurately reflect the focus of the segment. There was no financial statement impact from this name change.

Management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding the Company's financial condition and operating performance:

  • Globalization continues to reshape not only the industries in which the Company operates but also its key customers.
  • The Company is continually assessing its strategies in relation to the instability in the U.S. economic environment and the volatility of the U.S. financial markets. A portion of the Company's office furniture sales are to financial institutions which are being impacted by the credit market issues. The Company is closely monitoring market changes in order to proactively adjust discretionary spending in anticipation of the impact those market changes may have on its sales and operations.
  • Competitive pricing within the EMS segment and on select projects within the Furniture segment continues to put pressure on the Company's operating margins.
  • Increased upward pressure on commodity and fuel prices is expected to be a challenge the Company will continue to address in the near term.
  • The Company currently has excess capacity at select operations.
  • The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (BIFMA International) lowered its projection for growth in the office furniture industry and is currently projecting a year-over-year decline in the office furniture industry for the remainder of calendar years 2008 and 2009.
  • The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new programs to replace departing customers or expiring programs occurs frequently, and the new programs often carry lower margins. 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 Company continues its strategy of diversification within the EMS segment customer base as it focuses on four key market verticals: medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety. With the Company's fiscal year 2007 acquisition of Reptron Electronics, Inc. (Reptron), sales to customers in the medical industry are now the largest portion of the Company's EMS segment with sales to customers in the automotive industry being the second largest.
  • Successful execution of the Company's restructuring plans is critical to the Company's future performance. The success of the restructuring initiatives is dependent on accomplishing the plans in a timely and effective manner. A critical component of the restructuring initiatives is transfer of production among facilities which during fiscal year 2008 contributed to some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital. The Company's restructuring plans are discussed in the segment discussions below.
  • The EMS segment's new operation in China started production in June 2007.  The continued success of this start-up operation is critical for securing additional customers and increasing facility utilization.
  • Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the EMS segment was impacted by a reduction in the pricing of select raw material which is purchased from a major customer, Bayer AG and affiliates. The selling price of the finished product back to that customer has likewise been reduced by an amount equal to the material price reduction. Fiscal year 2008 had a full-year impact of this pricing reduction while fiscal year 2007 only had the impact for half of the year and thus resulted in a $65 million net sales reduction in fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007.  Gross profit dollars were not impacted, but the consolidated fiscal year-to-date 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales measure increased approximately 1 percentage point as a result of this pricing change compared to fiscal year 2007. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs as a percent of net sales increased by a similar percentage. There was no impact to net income and net cash flows.

22


 

  • The Company continues to have a strong balance sheet which includes a net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, less short-term borrowings under credit facilities totaling $29.8 million at June 30, 2008.
  • The increasingly competitive marketplace mandates that the Company continually re-evaluate its business models.
  • The regulatory and business environment for U.S. public companies requires that the Company continually evaluate and enhance its practices in the areas of corporate governance and management practices.
  • The Company'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.

To address these and other trends and events, the Company has taken, or continues to consider and take, the following actions:

  • As end markets dictate, the Company is continually assessing excess capacity and developing plans to better utilize manufacturing operations, including shifting manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. The Company presently has an operation in Poznan. As part of the plan, the Company will consolidate its EMS facilities located in Longford, Ireland; Bridgend, Wales; and Poznan into a new, larger facility in Poznan. In fiscal year 2008, the Company also completed the consolidation of U.S. manufacturing facilities within the EMS segment due to excess capacity resulting in the exit of two facilities. These activities are discussed in more detail in the fiscal year 2008 EMS segment discussion below.
  • As part of the Company's diversification plan for the EMS segment, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company acquired Reptron. This acquisition is discussed in more detail in the fiscal year 2008 EMS segment discussion below.
  • The Company exited the manufacture of contract private label products to further sharpen its focus on primary markets in the Furniture segment. As part of this planned exit, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company exited the production of wood rear projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands resulting in the closure of the Company's Juarez, Mexico, manufacturing facility.
  • The Company has taken a number of steps to conform its corporate governance to evolving national and industry-wide best practices among U.S. public companies, not only to comply with new legal requirements, but also to enhance the decision-making process of the Board of Directors.

The 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.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of PTV cabinets and stands within the Furniture segment, which resulted in the exit of the Company's Juarez, Mexico, operation. Production ceased at the Juarez facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, and all inventory has been sold. Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment were complete as of June 30, 2007. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 the Company bought out the remaining term of the building lease. As a result of ceasing operations at this facility, the financial results associated with the Mexican operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and all prior periods were restated.

During fiscal year 2006, the Company sold a forest products hardwood lumber business unit, a business unit which produced and sold fixed-wall furniture systems, and an operation that manufactured polyurethane and polyester molded components. All three business units were part of the Furniture segment. The cessation of these non-core operations did not impact any of the remaining operations of the Company. The results of the above-mentioned operations are reported as discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Related Party Disclosure

During fiscal year 2006, the Company's forest products hardwood lumber operation which was accounted for as a discontinued operation was sold to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. Barry L. Cook, President of Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. was formerly employed by the Company as a Vice President of Kimball International, Inc. and had responsibility for this hardwoods lumber operation. The transaction prices were negotiated between the Company and Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. The Company also considered offers from other interested outside parties, but determined that it was in the Company's best interest financially to sell this operation to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. The purchase price totaled $25.5 million, of which $23.5 million was collected at closing and $2.0 million was a note receivable. The Company recorded an allowance on this note receivable at the time of sale since there was uncertainty as to whether the entire balance was collectable. In fiscal year 2008, $0.3 million of expense was recorded as an additional allowance for this receivable and final payment was received for the net amount. The Company has no ongoing commitments resulting from the sales agreement.

Fiscal Year 2008 Results of Operations

The following discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income statement activity of the discontinued operations.

Financial Overview - Consolidated

Fiscal year 2008 consolidated net sales were $1.35 billion compared to fiscal year 2007 net sales of $1.29 billion, a 5% increase over fiscal year 2007. The higher net sales resulted from increased EMS segment net sales related to the third quarter fiscal year 2007 Reptron acquisition within the EMS segment which contributed net sales of $144 million in fiscal year 2008 and $55 million in fiscal year 2007 as well as increased organic Furniture and EMS segment net sales. In addition, in mid-fiscal year 2007, the Company reduced the price of finished product sold to a customer in the EMS segment which carried forward through fiscal year 2008.  Fiscal year 2008 had a full-year impact of this pricing reduction while fiscal year 2007 only had the impact for half of the year and thus resulted in a $65 million net sales reduction in fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007, which partially offset the EMS sales increase.

The Company recorded income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2008 of $0.1 million, or less than $0.01 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $14.6 million, or $0.39 per Class B diluted share. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring charges were primarily related to the European consolidation plan, a workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities.  Fiscal year 2007 income from continuing operations was $23.3 million, or $0.60 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per Class B diluted share.  Information regarding the acquisition and restructurings is included in the segment discussions below.

Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales in fiscal year 2008 was 18.4% compared to 20.3% in fiscal year 2007. Both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment contributed to the decline as discussed in more detail in the segment discussions below. Gross profit was also negatively impacted as the Company's sales mix continued to shift toward the EMS segment, which operates at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment.  Partially offsetting the fiscal year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales decline, the EMS customer pricing adjustment discussed above increased gross margin as a percent of net sales approximately 1 percentage point compared to fiscal year 2007 gross margin. This EMS customer pricing adjustment had no impact on the gross margin dollars for either fiscal year 2008 or fiscal year 2007 as the reduction in sales was offset by an equal reduction in material cost purchased from the same customer.

24




The fiscal year 2008 consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense level in absolute dollars approximated the fiscal year 2007 level and declined as a percent of net sales. The decline in consolidated SG&A costs as a percent of net sales was primarily due to the leverage of the higher net sales level and the shift in sales mix toward the EMS segment, which has a lower SG&A percentage than the Furniture segment.  

Fiscal year 2008 other income totaled $3.2 million compared to fiscal year 2007 other income of $9.9 million. Fiscal year 2008 interest expense was $0.9 million higher due to higher average outstanding debt balances, and fiscal year 2008 interest income was $1.9 million lower than fiscal year 2007 as the Company's average cash and short-term investment balances were lower. In addition, a $3.5 million decline in the market value of the Company's Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) investments for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007 contributed to the decline in other income. The loss on the SERP investment that was recognized in other income was exactly offset by a reduction in the SERP liability which was recognized in SG&A expense in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Fiscal year 2008 other income also included $1.3 million pre-tax income relating to funds received as part of a Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company's Poland operation.

As a result of various tax benefits in fiscal year 2008, such as tax-exempt interest income and the research and development credit, coupled with the tax benefit recorded related to the pre-tax loss, the Company recorded an overall income tax benefit greater than the pre-tax loss.  The fiscal year 2007 effective tax rate was 36%. For further detail see Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comparing the balance sheets as of June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2007, the decline in the Company's cash and short-term investment balances was primarily a result of the Company repurchasing 1.7 million Class B shares during fiscal year 2008 under a previously authorized share repurchase program. The Company's inventory balance has increased since June 30, 2007 primarily in support of the transfer of production related to the consolidation of facilities. The Company's accounts payable balance increased since June 30, 2007 due to an agreement with select customers from which the Company also purchases materials that allows the Company to extend accounts payable terms if those customers extend the timeframe in which they pay the Company.  The Company's accounts receivable balance thus likewise increased, but to a lesser extent due to offsetting declines in accounts receivable elsewhere in the Company.  The Company's borrowings under credit facilities increased as the Company opted to borrow to fund short-term cash needs rather than sell debt securities in its investment portfolio which have favorable yields.

Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment

In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its business model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing business environment. Within the Company's EMS segment, the restructuring activities included realigning engineering and technical resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes. The plan also included reducing corporate personnel costs to more properly align with the overall sales mix change within the Company.  Expenditures were primarily for employee severance and transition costs. This plan was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2008.

25


During the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company acquired Reptron, a U.S. based electronics manufacturing services company which provided engineering services, electronics manufacturing services, and display integration services. Reptron had four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida; Hibbing, Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont, California. The acquisition increased the Company's capabilities and expertise in support of the Company's long-term strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end industrial sectors. The operating results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. With the acquisition, the Company recognized it would have excess capacity in North America. Management developed a plan as of the acquisition date to consolidate capacity within the acquired facilities. Based on a review of future growth potential in various geographies and input from existing customers regarding future capacity needs, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 the Company finalized a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit the facility located in Gaylord, Michigan, and transfer the business to several of the Company's other EMS facilities. The Company ceased production at the facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Excess equipment was sold during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Gaylord facility is classified as held for sale. Expenditures included employee severance and transition costs which were recognized as part of the purchase price allocation, not impacting earnings. Expenditures also included losses on the sale of equipment, impairment on the facility, and an immaterial amount related to other closure activities which impacted earnings as the costs were incurred. The Company expects to recognize minimal future charges related to ongoing facility maintenance expenses. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a separate restructuring plan to further consolidate its EMS facilities that resulted in the exit of the manufacturing facility located in Hibbing, Minnesota, which was also one of the acquired Reptron facilities. Production at the Hibbing facility ceased in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Company's lease of the Hibbing facility will end in December 2008. A majority of the Hibbing business transferred to several of the Company's worldwide EMS facilities. Expenditures, most of which were recognized during fiscal year 2008, included employee severance and transition costs, asset and goodwill impairment, lease exit costs, and other plant closure and exit costs.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company acquired the Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom, manufacturing operation of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited ("BDML") from BDML and its parent company, Bayer HealthCare LLC, a member of the worldwide group of companies headed by Bayer AG.  The Wales, United Kingdom, facility provides manufacturing services for medical diagnostic systems such as assembling and packaging medical test strips and assembling and testing of electronic diagnostic testers. This facility is FDA certified and was acquired to support the Company's efforts to capitalize on growth opportunities in the medical market. Also during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company acquired a printed circuit board assembly operation in Longford, Ireland, from Magna Donnelly Electronics Longford Limited. Both of these acquisitions emphasized the Company's strategic expansion of global capabilities and responsiveness in serving the Company's customers. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland. As part of the plan, the Company will consolidate its EMS facilities located in Longford, Ireland; Wales, United Kingdom; and Poznan, Poland; into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company's margins in the very competitive EMS market. The plan includes the sale of the existing Poland building at a gain which will partially fund the consolidation activities.  The plan is to be executed in stages with a projected completion date of December 2011. 

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the production for select programs was transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility ceased in the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and the facility was sold during fiscal year 2008. The plan included employee transition costs, accelerated software amortization costs, accelerated asset depreciation, and other restructuring costs which were partially offset by gains on the sale of equipment net of other asset impairment. The decision to exit this facility was a result of excess capacity in North America.

The acquisitions are discussed in further detail in Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The restructuring plans are discussed in further detail in Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fiscal year 2008 EMS segment net sales increased $54 million, or 8%, from fiscal year 2007.  The acquisition completed midway through the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 within the EMS segment contributed sales of $144 million in fiscal year 2008 and $55 million in fiscal year 2007. In addition, in mid-fiscal year 2007, the Company reduced the price of finished product sold to a customer in the EMS segment which carried forward through fiscal year 2008.  Fiscal year 2008 had a full-year impact of this pricing reduction while fiscal year 2007 only had the impact for half of the year and thus resulted in a $65 million net sales reduction in fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007.  See the discussion below for more information on this selling price change. Increased sales to customers in the medical, industrial control, and public safety industries more than offset decreased sales to customers in the automotive industry driven by declines in the domestic automotive market. Due to the contract nature of the Company's business, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

The EMS segment recorded a loss from continuing operations of $15.3 million for fiscal year 2008, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $12.8 million primarily related to the European consolidation plan, the workforce reduction plan, and the exit of two domestic EMS facilities.  EMS segment fiscal year 2007 income from continuing operations totaled $1.0 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million. 

Fiscal year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 1.2 percentage points compared to fiscal year 2007. Fiscal year 2008 gross profit was negatively impacted by excess capacity costs and inefficiencies some of which were associated with the closure of two domestic facilities and the related transfer of production to other facilities within this segment. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by a shift in product mix to lower margin product.

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, gross profit as a percent of sales was favorably impacted by a reduction in the pricing of select raw material which is purchased from Bayer AG and affiliates, a major customer within the EMS segment. The selling price of the finished product back to Bayer AG and affiliates was likewise reduced by an amount equal to the material price reduction. While there was no impact to gross profit dollars, net income, or net cash flows related to this pricing change, gross profit as a percent of net sales increased approximately 1 percentage point, and SG&A as a percent of net sales increased by a similar percentage for fiscal year 2008 as compared to fiscal year 2007.

Fiscal year 2008 SG&A increased in both dollars and as a percent of net sales when compared to fiscal year 2007. The inclusion of the SG&A expenses of the mid-third quarter fiscal year 2007 acquisition for the entire fiscal year 2008 was the primary driver of the increase in SG&A in absolute dollars. The customer pricing adjustment mentioned above increased SG&A as a percent of net sales, and the leverage of higher sales volume decreased SG&A as a percent of net sales.  In addition, increased investments in business development resources contributed to the SG&A increase as a percent of net sales and in absolute dollars.

The fiscal year 2008 and 2007 earnings were unfavorably impacted by pre-tax costs, in millions, of $2.3 and $3.5, respectively, related to the start-up of an EMS manufacturing facility in China.  Fiscal year 2008 income from continuing operations included $1.3 million of pre-tax income relating to funds received as part of the Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company's Poland operation.

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

30%

The reduction in year-to-date sales to Bayer AG is related to two factors. First, in January 2007, Bayer AG sold its diagnostics unit to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company's net sales which were formerly to Bayer AG affiliates in fiscal year 2007 are now to Siemens AG. Second, net sales to Bayer AG affiliates were also impacted as a result of the Company's aforementioned selling price reduction effective January 2007 to Bayer AG affiliates which was offset by an equal reduction in the material cost. The Company also continues to focus on diversification of the EMS segment customer base.
 
The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program matures and becomes established. This segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the electronics subcontracting services market. New business awards for projects in the automotive industry are extremely competitive.

Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, increased globalization, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rapid technological changes, component availability, the contract nature of this industry, unexpected integration issues with acquisitions, and the importance of sales to large customers. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs. Additional risk factors that could have an effect on the Company's performance are located within Item 1A - Risk Factors.

Furniture Segment

As part of the workforce reduction restructuring activities discussed in the EMS segment above, within the Company's Furniture segment, the restructuring activities included realigning information technology and procurement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes to drive further synergies afforded by the alignment of the sales and manufacturing functions within this segment. Related expenditures were primarily for employee severance and transition costs. This plan was substantially complete as of the end of fiscal year 2008 with a few activities expected to occur in the first half of fiscal year 2009 in the Furniture segment.

As part of the Company's plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture segment, the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of administrative, marketing, and business development functions to better serve the segment's primary markets. Expenses related to this plan included software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance, and other consolidation costs.  This plan was complete as of June 30, 2008.

Increased net sales volumes of both office and hospitality furniture contributed to the increased branded furniture net sales level. Price increases net of higher discounting contributed approximately $4 million to the increased net sales of branded furniture during fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007. Fiscal year 2008 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which the Company began selling during fiscal year 2008 approximated $57 million. Branded furniture products open orders at June 30, 2008 were 6% higher than open orders at June 30, 2007 as higher hospitality furniture open orders more than offset lower office furniture open orders. The absence of net sales and open orders of contract private label products was a result of the planned exit of this product line.  Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

The Furniture segment income from continuing operations was $13.4 million in fiscal year 2008, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $1.3 million, compared to income from continuing operations of $17.8 million in fiscal year 2007, which included $0.8 million of after-tax restructuring charges. The fiscal year 2008 restructuring charges were primarily related to the workforce reduction plan, and the fiscal year 2007 restructuring charges were primarily related to the consolidation and standardization of administrative, marketing, and business development functions within this segment. Fiscal year 2008 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 2.1 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2007. Gross profit was negatively impacted by supply chain cost increases, increased fuel expense, a sales mix shift to lower margin product, and competitive pricing pressures.  Price increases on select office furniture products partially offset the higher costs. 

As compared to fiscal year 2007, fiscal year 2008 SG&A expenses decreased in both absolute dollars and as a percent of net sales as the Furniture segment incurred lower advertising and product promotion expenses and lower incentive compensation costs.  Increased investments in the segment's sales force partially offset the other SG&A savings. The leverage of the segment's higher sales volumes also contributed to the SG&A as a percent of net sales improvement. The Furniture segment earnings were also positively impacted by savings realized through various cost reduction initiatives.

See Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges.

Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, increased global competition, 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 2007 Results of Operations

The following discussions are based on income from continuing operations and therefore exclude all income statement activity of the discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of the accounting change.  See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the cumulative effect of the accounting change.

Financial Overview - Consolidated

Fiscal year 2007 consolidated net sales were $1.29 billion compared to fiscal year 2006 net sales of $1.11 billion, a 16% increase over fiscal year 2006. Acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 within the EMS segment contributed net sales of $319.3 million in fiscal year 2007 and $61.5 million in fiscal year 2006. Income from continuing operations for fiscal year 2007 was $23.3 million, or $0.60 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per Class B diluted share. Fiscal year 2006 income from continuing operations was $28.6 million, or $0.75 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $2.8 million, or $0.07 per Class B diluted share.

Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales in fiscal year 2007 was 20.3% compared to 22.4% in fiscal year 2006. With the fiscal year 2007 and 2006 acquisitions, the Company's sales mix continued to shift toward the EMS segment. Since the EMS segment operated at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment, this contributed to the consolidated gross profit downward trend. The fiscal year 2007 EMS segment gross profit percentage declined compared to fiscal year 2006 while the fiscal year 2007 Furniture segment gross profit percentage improved compared to fiscal year 2006.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased in absolute dollars but decreased as a percent of net sales compared to fiscal year 2006. The decline in consolidated SG&A costs as a percent of net sales was due to the leverage of the additional net sales from the acquisitions and the shift in sales mix toward the EMS segment, which has a lower SG&A percentage than the Furniture segment.

Fiscal year 2007 other income decreased compared to fiscal year 2006 primarily due to $2.2 million pre-tax income relating to funds received in fiscal year 2006 as part of a Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company's Poland operation.

The fiscal year 2007 effective income tax rate was 36% as compared to a 27% effective income tax rate in fiscal year 2006. The increased effective income tax rate was related to a higher mix of income being generated by domestic operations in fiscal year 2007, which carry a higher effective tax rate, coupled with the negative effect of losses generated by select foreign operations which have a lower effective tax rate. For fiscal year 2006, in addition to the positive impact of a higher mix of income being generated at foreign operations, the fiscal year 2006 effective tax rate was also driven down by $1.6 million for adjustments to income tax accruals resulting from the favorable closure of several prior year tax audits.

Fiscal year 2007 EMS segment net sales increased $176.3 million, or 35%, from fiscal year 2006 due to the acquisitions. Acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006 and in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 within the EMS segment contributed sales of $319.3 million in fiscal year 2007 and $61.5 million in fiscal year 2006. The selling price change to Bayer AG and affiliates reduced fiscal year 2007 net sales by approximately $64 million. Increased sales to customers in the medical and industrial control industries more than offset decreased sales to customers in the automotive industry driven by declines in the domestic automotive market. Excluding acquisitions, sales to customers in the medical industry would have declined.

The open orders increase was driven by the acquisitions. Open orders as of June 30, 2007 have been adjusted to be consistent with the calculation of open orders as of June 30, 2008.  Due to the contract nature of the Company's business, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

EMS segment fiscal year 2007 income from continuing operations totaled $1.0 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million, as compared to fiscal year 2006 income from continuing operations of $6.5 million, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.5 million. The restructuring charges were related to the exit of a North American manufacturing facility as discussed in more detail in Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2007, gross profit as a percent of sales was favorably impacted by a reduction in the pricing of select raw material which is purchased from Bayer AG and affiliates. The selling price of the finished product back to Bayer AG and affiliates was likewise reduced by an amount equal to the material price reduction. While there was no impact to gross profit dollars, net income, or net cash flows related to this pricing change, gross profit as a percent of net sales increased, and SG&A as a percent of net sales increased by a similar percentage. This relationship with Bayer AG and affiliates was part of an acquisition completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006.

Fiscal year 2007 gross profit as a percent of net sales declined from fiscal year 2006 as net sales of higher margin mature products, primarily automotive products, reached end of life and were replaced with net sales of lower margin new products including certain assemblies produced at the acquired business units, which more than offset the positive gross profit percentage impact of the above-mentioned Bayer AG selling price change. While the above-mentioned Bayer pricing change negatively impacted SG&A as a percent of net sales, the SG&A as a percent of net sales for this segment declined overall in part due to lower incentive compensation costs. The fiscal year 2007 and 2006 acquisitions also had the effect of lowering this segment's gross profit and SG&A as a percent of net sales.  The acquisitions positively contributed to this segment's earnings.

31


The fiscal year 2007 and 2006 earnings were unfavorably impacted by after-tax costs, in millions, of $3.5 and $0.4, respectively, related to the start-up of a manufacturing facility in China. There were minimal sales recorded for the China facility during fiscal year 2007. Fiscal year 2006 income from continuing operations included $1.3 million of after-tax income relating to funds received as part of the Polish offset credit program for investments made in the Company's Poland operation. Fiscal year 2006 EMS segment earnings also benefited from a lower effective tax rate due to adjustments to income tax accruals.

Included in this segment were a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates and TRW Automotive, Inc. Sales to these two customers accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The reduced TRW Automotive, Inc. percentages of segment and consolidated net sales were a result of certain TRW Automotive, Inc. products reaching end of life in addition to the higher total net sales base resulting from the acquisitions which likewise drove the higher percentages of net sales to Bayer AG affiliates compared to the prior year. In January 2007, Bayer AG sold its diagnostics unit to Siemens AG, and thus a portion of the Company's net sales which were formerly to Bayer AG affiliates are now to Siemens AG. Net sales to Bayer AG affiliates were also impacted in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007 as a result of the Company's aforementioned selling price reduction to Bayer AG affiliates which was offset by an equal reduction in the material cost. The Company also continues to focus on diversification of the EMS segment customer base.

Price increases net of higher discounting increased fiscal year 2007 net sales of branded furniture, which includes office and hospitality furniture, by approximately $2.3 million as compared to fiscal year 2006. Increased net sales volumes of hospitality furniture also contributed to the increased branded furniture net sales level. Fiscal year 2007 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which the Company began selling during fiscal year 2007 approximated $24.0 million. Branded furniture products open orders at June 30, 2007 were 1% higher than open orders at June 30, 2006, as higher hospitality furniture open orders offset lower office furniture open orders. Net sales of contract private label products decreased in conjunction with the planned exit of this product line.

The Furniture segment income from continuing operations was $17.8 million in fiscal year 2007, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $0.8 million, compared to income from continuing operations of $17.3 million in fiscal year 2006, which included $2.3 million of after-tax restructuring charges. The fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006 restructuring charges were primarily related to the consolidation and standardization of administrative, marketing, and business development functions within this segment. Fiscal year 2007 gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 0.4 percentage point when compared to fiscal year 2006. Items which positively impacted gross profit during fiscal year 2007 included price increases on select furniture products, lower workers compensation expense, and a sales mix shift away from lower margin contract private label products. Conversely, fiscal year 2007 gross profit was negatively impacted by higher discounting on select furniture products and a shift in sales mix among branded furniture products. As compared to fiscal year 2006, fiscal year 2007 SG&A expenses increased in absolute dollars and as a percent of net sales as lower incentive compensation costs were more than offset by increases in other SG&A costs, including increased investments for product marketing and promotion and for additional sales staff in support of the Company's sales growth strategy.

See Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2008 was $163 million compared to working capital of $199 million at June 30, 2007. The current ratio was 1.5 at June 30, 2008 and 1.8 at June 30, 2007.

The Company's internal measure of Accounts Receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), for fiscal year 2008 increased to 46.6 from 44.0 for fiscal year 2007. The DSO increase was primarily due to certain customers extending the timeframe in which they pay the Company. The Company also purchases materials from these customers and has an agreement that likewise allows the Company to extend accounts payable terms.  The Company defines DSO as the average of monthly accounts and notes receivable divided by an annual average day's net sales. The Company's Production Days Supply on Hand (PDSOH) of inventory measure for fiscal year 2008 increased to 59.9 from 55.7 for fiscal year 2007. The increased PDSOH was driven by EMS segment increased average inventory balances primarily in support of transfers of production between manufacturing facilities within the EMS segment. The Company defines PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by an annual average day's cost of sales.

The Company does not disclose discontinued operations separately from continuing operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. However, for clarity purposes, the Company does separately disclose the adjustment to net income for the loss on disposal of discontinued operations in cash flows from operating activities and the proceeds from disposal of discontinued operations in cash flows from investing activities.

The Company's net cash position from an aggregate of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments less short-term borrowings under credit facilities decreased from $80 million at June 30, 2007 to $30 million at June 30, 2008, as cash flow generated from operations was more than offset by cash payments during the fiscal year for capital expenditures, share repurchases, and dividends.  Operating activities generated $43 million of cash flow in fiscal year 2008 compared to $44 million in fiscal year 2007.  The Company's repurchase of Class B shares under a previously authorized share repurchase program utilized $25 million of cash.  The Company reinvested $51 million into capital investments for the future, primarily for manufacturing equipment and facility improvements.  During fiscal year 2009, the Company expects to continue to invest in manufacturing equipment and also plans to construct a new EMS manufacturing facility in Poland as part of the consolidation of the European manufacturing footprint. The land and new facility are expected to cost approximately $35 million, and the Company has a conditional agreement to sell the current Poland facility for approximately $24 million. During fiscal year 2009, the Company intends to sell approximately 27,300 acres of timber and farm land that it currently owns. Fiscal year 2008 financing cash flow activities included $24 million in dividend payments, which remained flat with fiscal year 2007.

33


The Company previously maintained a $75 million credit facility with an expiration date in May 2009 that allowed for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company replaced the $75 million credit facility with a $100 million credit facility which expires in April 2013. The $75 million credit facility provided an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $125 million at the Company's request, subject to participating banks' consent. Similarly, 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 participating banks' consent. Similar to the previous $75 million credit facility, the $100 million credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain debt covenants including interest coverage ratio, minimum net worth, and other terms and conditions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had $52.6 million of short-term borrowings outstanding. The outstanding balance consisted of $17.3 million for a Euro currency borrowing which provides a natural currency hedge against Euro denominated intercompany notes between the U.S. parent and the Euro functional currency subsidiaries, and an additional $33.6 million borrowing funded short-term cash needs. In addition, at June 30, 2008, the Company had $1.7 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under a separate Thailand credit facility which is backed by the $100 million credit facility. The Company also had letters of credit against the credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $44.2 million at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $18.9 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the $75 million credit facility.

The Company also has a credit facility for which the expiration date has been extended to November 2008 for its electronics operation in Wales, United Kingdom, which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 2 million Sterling equivalent (approximately $4 million U.S. dollars at current exchange rates) and is available to cover bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts may be deemed necessary to satisfy short-term cash needs rather than funding from intercompany sources. At June 30, 2007, as collateral subject to lien, this facility required 3 million Euro (approximately $4 million U.S. dollars) to be held as restricted cash which was classified as other long-term assets on the Company's balance sheet. The restricted cash is no longer required as collateral and was reclassified to cash and cash equivalents on the Company's balance sheet. At June 30, 2008, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $3.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent of Sterling-denominated short-term borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility. See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the credit facilities.

At June 30, 2007, the Company's outstanding balance in senior secured notes was $4.5 million. These notes represented the remaining portion of notes originally held by Reptron which was not tendered as of the date of the acquisition. The Company redeemed the notes during fiscal year 2008. The notes were classified as Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  See Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Reptron acquisition.

The Company believes its principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under the Company's credit facilities will be sufficient in fiscal year 2009 and the foreseeable future for working capital needs, dividends, and for funding investments in the Company's future, including potential acquisitions. The Company's primary source of funds is its ability to generate cash from operations to meet its liquidity obligations, which could be affected by factors such as a decline in demand for the Company's products, loss of key contract customers, the ability of the Company to generate profits, and other unforeseen circumstances. The Company's secondary source of funds is its credit facilities. The $100 million credit facility is contingent on complying with certain debt covenants. The Company does not expect the covenants to limit or restrict its ability to borrow on the facility in fiscal year 2009. The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position for the next twelve months. The Company does not expect the absence of cash flows from discontinued operations to have a material effect on future liquidity and capital resources.

(a) Refer to Note 6 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations. The $0.1 million long-term debt obligations and $0.4 million capital lease payments due in fiscal year 2009 are recorded as current liabilities.

(b) 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 Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (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 2009 amount includes $3.0 million for SERP payments recorded as a current liability.
  • 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 2009 amount also includes $6.6 million for restructuring employee transition payments recorded as a current liability.
  • The timing of severance plan payments is estimated based on the average service life of employees.  The fiscal year 2009 amount also includes $0.3 million for severance payments recorded as a current liability.
  • The timing of warranty payments is estimated based on historical data.  The fiscal year 2009 amount includes $1.0 million for short-term warranty payments recorded as a current liability.

(c) Excludes $2.2 million of long-term unrecognized tax benefits associated with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), and associated accrued interest and penalties along with miscellaneous other long-term 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.

(d) 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.

(e) 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.  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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The Company's management overlays a fundamental philosophy of valuing its assets and liabilities in an appropriately conservative manner. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is disclosed in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk transfer to the customer, which under the terms and conditions of the sale may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is delivered to the customer. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognizes sales net of applicable sales tax.

  • Allowance for sales returns - At the time revenue is recognized certain provisions may also be recorded, including returns and allowances, which involve estimates based on current discussions with applicable customers, historical experience with a particular customer and/or product, and other relevant factors. As such, these factors may change over time causing the provisions to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the reserve for returns and allowances was $3.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Over the past two years, the returns and allowances reserve has been approximately 2% of gross trade receivables.

  • 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, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and over the past two years, this reserve has been less than 1% of gross trade accounts receivable.

Excess and obsolete inventory - Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 17% and 18% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, including approximately 85% and 86% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The remaining inventories are valued at lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market value. Inventories recorded on the Company's balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. In general, the Company purchases materials and finished goods for contract-based business from customer orders and projections, primarily in the case of long lead time items, and has a general philosophy to only purchase materials to the extent covered by a written commitment from its customers. However, there are times when inventory is purchased beyond customer commitments due to minimum lot sizes and inventory lead time requirements, or where component allocation or other procurement issues may exist. The Company may also purchase additional inventory to support transfers of production between manufacturing facilities. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating inventory obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.

Self-insurance reserves - The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company's accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $6.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, excluding immaterial amounts held in a voluntary employees' beneficiary association (VEBA) trust.

36


Income taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company provides a valuation allowance based on its best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management's assessment.

FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions, requires financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, transition, and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The provisions of FIN 48 were effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2008. 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 taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax periods are effectively settled, the provision will be adjusted accordingly. Additional information on income taxes is contained in Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the related underlying tangible and intangible net asset values resulting from business acquisitions. Annually, or if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary, the Company compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of the reporting unit's fair value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, goodwill is impaired and will be written down to its estimated fair value. At June 30, 2008, goodwill was reviewed due primarily to a reduction in the Company's market capitalization; however, the interim review resulted in no additional goodwill impairment. Goodwill is assigned to and the fair value is tested at the reporting unit level. At June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company's goodwill totaled, in millions, $15.4 and $15.5, respectively. Goodwill impairment of $0.2 million pre-tax was recorded during fiscal year 2008 related to terminated business in conjunction with the consolidation of the EMS segment Hibbing, Minnesota, operation.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards.

  
Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk: As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $52 million and $67 million, respectively.  These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at market value with unrealized gains and losses recorded net of tax related effect as a component of Share Owners' Equity.  These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase.  A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2008 and 2007 would cause the fair value of these short-term investments to decline by an immaterial amount.  Further information on short-term investments is provided in Note 12 - Short-Term Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on certain outstanding debt balances.  The outstanding loan balances under the Company's credit facilities bear interest at variable rates based on prevailing short-term interest rates.  Based on the $53 million and $22 million outstanding balances of variable rate obligations at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company estimates that a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on annual interest expense.  Further information on debt balances is provided in Note 6 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: The Company operates internationally, and thus is subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes.  The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures.  Derivatives are used only to manage underlying exposures of the Company and are not used in a speculative manner.  Further information on derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 11 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates relative to non-functional currency balances of monetary instruments, to the extent not hedged by derivative instruments, would not have a material impact on profitability in an annual period.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial statements and other related information in this report.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are applied on an appropriately conservative basis.  The Company maintains a system of internal and disclosure controls intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the financial statements.  This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees who work within the internal control processes, by the Company's staff of internal auditors, as well as by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the Company, meets regularly with management, the internal auditors, and the independent registered public 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, 2008.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control 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, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15. We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, 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 schedules, 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 schedules 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, 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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

KIMBALL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all domestic and foreign subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

  Revenue Recognition: Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk transfer to the customer, which under the terms and conditions of the sale, may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is delivered to the customer.  Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.  The Company recognizes sales net of applicable sales tax. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered.  Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sale, resulting in a reduction of revenue.  An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded using specific analysis of a customer's credit worthiness, changes in a customer's payment history, historical bad debt experience, and general economic and market trends.  Estimates of collectibility result in an increase or decrease in selling expenses.

  Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures.  While efforts are made to assure estimates used are reasonably accurate based on management's knowledge of current events, actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: Cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.  Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank accounts and money market funds.  Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value.  Short-term investments consist primarily of municipal bonds and U.S. Government securities with maturities exceeding three months at the time of acquisition.  Available-for-sale securities are stated at market value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, as a component of Share Owners' Equity.

  Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost includes material, labor, and applicable manufacturing overhead.  Costs associated with underutilization of capacity are expensed as incurred.  The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method was used for approximately 17% and 18% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, and remaining inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Inventories recorded on the Company's balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory.  Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels.  Factors considered when evaluating obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.

  Property, Equipment and Depreciation: Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the lease.  Major maintenance activities and improvements are capitalized; other maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals and betterments are expensed.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company performs reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.  When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value.  Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less cost to sell at the date management commits to a plan of disposal. 

45


  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets resulting from business acquisitions.  Goodwill is tested annually for impairment using a fair value approach at the reporting unit level, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired.  At June 30, 2008, goodwill was reviewed due primarily to a reduction in the Company's market capitalization; however, the interim review resulted in no additional goodwill impairment.  The Company uses discounted cash flows to establish its reporting unit fair values.  When all or a portion of a reporting unit is disposed of, goodwill is allocated to the gain or loss on disposition using the relative fair value method.  During fiscal year 2006, the sale of a fixed-wall furniture systems business resulted in a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $433, in thousands.  During fiscal year 2008, the terminated business in conjunction with the consolidation of a Hibbing, Minnesota, operation resulted in a pre-tax goodwill impairment loss of $172, in thousands.

A summary of the goodwill by segment is as follows:

June 30, June 30,
2008 2007
(Amounts in Thousands)      
Furniture  $  1,733           $  1,733         
Electronic Manufacturing Services 13,622          13,785         
  Consolidated $15,355          $15,518         

In the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment, goodwill decreased in the aggregate by, in thousands, $163 during fiscal year 2008 due to a $172 decrease for impairment related to terminated business in conjunction with the consolidation of a Hibbing, Minnesota, operation, a $165 decrease due to an adjustment to estimated employee transition pay related to the consolidation of a Gaylord, Michigan, operation, and a $123 decrease to adjust the fair value of assets and liabilities estimated as of the date of the Reptron acquisition, partially offset by a $96 increase related to tax provision adjustments for activity prior to the Reptron acquisition and a $201 increase due to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  Goodwill impairment was calculated based upon the cessation of cash flows for the business activities not continuing after the facility consolidation.  The goodwill related to the Hibbing business activities continuing after the facility consolidation was transferred to the EMS reporting units which are receiving the business.

Other intangible assets consist of capitalized software, product rights, and customer relationships and are reported as Other Intangible Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. 

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.

Consolidated $ 79,460      $ 66,087      $13,373      $ 79,486      $ 58,901      $ 20,585     

During fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, amortization expense of other intangible assets from continuing operations, including asset write-downs associated with the Company's restructuring plans, was, in thousands, $8,036, $8,756, and $7,735, respectively. Amortization expense in future periods is expected to be, in thousands, $5,194, $3,473, $2,174, $1,253, and $569 in the five years ending June 30, 2013, and $710 thereafter.  When placed in service, the product rights intangible asset life is expected to be five years.  The amortization period for the customer relationship intangible asset is 16 years.  The estimated useful life of internal-use software ranges from three to seven years.

  Research and Development: The costs of research and development are expensed as incurred.  Research and development costs from continuing operations were approximately, in millions, $16, $17, and $15 in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

  Advertising:  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising costs from continuing operations, included in selling, general and administrative expenses were, in millions, $6.2, $8.3, and $5.6, in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. 

  Insurance and Self-insurance: The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation, and certain employee health benefits including medical, short-term disability, and dental, with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements.  The Company's policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events.  Approximately 68% of the workforce is covered under self-insured medical and short-term disability plans.

The Company carries external medical and disability insurance coverage for the remainder of its eligible workforce not covered by self-insured plans.  Insurance benefits are not provided to retired employees.

  Income Taxes: Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements without giving effect to the United States taxes that may be payable on distribution to the United States because it is not anticipated such earnings will be remitted to the United States.  Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on unremitted earnings is not practicable.

47


  Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk: The Company has business and credit risks concentrated in the automotive, medical, and furniture industries.  Two customers, Bayer AG and Siemens AG, represented 16% and 15%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2008.  TRW Automotive, Inc. and Bayer AG, represented 14% and 16%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable at June 30, 2007.  The Company currently does not foresee a credit risk associated with 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. 

  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 Other Income (Expense) category of 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 exchanges rates for revenue and expenses, and historical rates for equity.  The resulting currency translation adjustment is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, 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, 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 and subsequently included in earnings in the periods in which earnings are affected by the hedged item, or when the derivative is determined to be ineffective.  The Company's use of derivatives is generally limited to forward purchases of foreign currency to manage exposure to the variability of cash flows, primarily related to the foreign exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currency. 

  Stock-Based Compensation: As described in Note 8 - Stock Compensation Plans of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company maintains stock-based employee 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.  Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)).  Under the modified prospective method of adoption selected by the Company, compensation expense related to stock options is recognized in the income statement beginning in fiscal year 2006.  Additionally, as of the effective date, the Company eliminated its balance of Deferred Stock-Based Compensation, which represented unrecognized compensation cost for restricted share unit awards, and reclassified it to Treasury Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital, in accordance with the modified prospective transition method.

48


FAS 123(R) requires that forfeitures be estimated over the vesting period of an award, rather than being recognized as a reduction of compensation expense when the forfeiture actually occurs.  FAS 123(R) also requires that liability awards be revalued to fair value, which, upon the adoption of FAS 123(R), had the effect of a reduction of a liability for outstanding stock appreciation rights.  The impact of the revaluation of stock appreciation rights and the use of the estimated forfeiture method for prior periods have been presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income as a Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle, as required by FAS 123(R).  The cumulative effect recorded in fiscal year 2006 totaled $0.3 million of income, net of taxes.  The earnings per share impact can be found in Note 15 - Earnings Per Share of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's stock-based compensation plans allow early vesting when an employee reaches retirement age and ceases continuous service.  Under FAS 123(R), awards granted after June 30, 2005 require acceleration of compensation expense through an employee's retirement age, whether or not the employee is expected to cease continuous service on that date.  For awards granted on or before June 30, 2005, the Company accelerates compensation expense only in cases where a retirement eligible employee is expected to cease continuous service prior to an award's vesting date.  If the new provisions of FAS 123(R) had been in effect for awards granted prior to June 30, 2005, compensation expense including the pro forma effect of stock options, net of tax, would have been $0.2 million lower, $0.2 million lower, and $0.1 million higher during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. 

  New Accounting Standards:  In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1).  FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.  The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for computing earnings per share when an entity's capital structure includes multiple classes of common stock and participating securities.  FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2010 and requires that previously reported earnings per share data be recast in financial statements issued in periods after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (FAS 162).  FAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This statement is not expected to change existing practices but rather reduce the complexity of financial reporting. This statement will go into effect 60 days after the Securities and Exchange Commission approves related auditing rules and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3).  FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  FSP FAS 142-3 allows an entity to use its own historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements, adjusted for entity-specific factors, in developing assumptions about renewal or extension used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. As a result, the determination of intangible asset useful lives is now consistent with the method used to determine the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets, as described in other accounting principles. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. Disclosure requirements are to be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date.  The provisions of FSP FAS 142-3 are effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2010 and are currently not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and requires entities to provide enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair values and amounts of gains and losses on derivative contracts, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 will be effective as of the Company's third quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the financial statement disclosures required under FAS 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (FAS 141(R)). FAS 141(R) requires that the fair value of the purchase price of an acquisition including the issuance of equity securities be determined on the acquisition date; requires that all assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, contingencies, and in-process research and development costs of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date; requires that acquisition costs generally be expensed as incurred; requires that restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date; and requires that changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. FAS 141(R) also broadens the definition of a business combination and expands disclosures related to business combinations. FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring after the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2010, except that business combinations consummated prior to the effective date must apply FAS 141(R) income tax requirements immediately upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 141(R) on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 160 requires that noncontrolling interests be reported as a separate component of equity, that net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statements of income, that changes in a parent's ownership interest be accounted for as equity transactions, and that, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary be measured at fair value. FAS 160 will be applied prospectively, except for presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively, as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2010. The Company does not currently have noncontrolling interests, and therefore the adoption of FAS 160 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on Issue No. 06-11, Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (EITF 06-11).  EITF 06-11 requires companies to recognize the income tax benefit realized from dividends or dividend equivalents that are charged to retained earnings and paid to employees for nonvested equity-classified employee share-based payment awards as an increase to additional paid-in capital.  The realized income tax benefit recognized in additional paid-in capital should be included in the pool of excess tax benefits available to absorb future tax deficiencies on share-based payment awards.  EITF 06-11 will be applied prospectively for income tax benefits on dividends declared after the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2009.  The adoption of EITF 06-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159). FAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting, but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under FAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure financial instruments and certain other items, which may reduce the need to apply complex hedge accounting provisions in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings. The fair value election is irrevocable and is generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of FAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2009. The Company has determined that it will not elect to use fair value accounting for any eligible items, and therefore FAS 159 will have no impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (FAS 158). FAS 158 requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, recognize through comprehensive income changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur, and measure a plan's assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer's fiscal year. At the end of fiscal year 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FAS 158 related to recognition of plan assets, benefit liabilities, and comprehensive income.  The Company expects to adopt the provisions of this rule that require measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the year end balance sheet date when these provisions become effective at the end of the Company's fiscal year 2009.  The change in measurement date is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  This rule impacts the accounting for the Company's unfunded noncontributory postemployment severance plans.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FSP AUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities.  The staff position eliminated the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities.  The Company previously used the accrue-in-advance method primarily to reserve for future aircraft maintenance activities required by Federal Aviation Administration regulations.  FSP AUG AIR-1 was effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2008.  As of July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the deferral method whereby major maintenance activities are capitalized and depreciated over the useful life.  The adoption of the deferral method did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, thus FSP AUG AIR-1 was not retrospectively applied.

50


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is only applicable to existing accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard, as originally issued, was to be effective as of the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2009. With the issuance in February 2008 of FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the FASB approved a one-year deferral to the beginning of the Company's fiscal year 2010 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually. In addition, the FASB has excluded leases from the scope of FAS 157 with the issuance of FSP FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements that Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13. FAS 157 will be applied prospectively. The fiscal year 2009 adoption of FAS 157, applicable to financial instruments, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of applying FAS 157 to non-financial assets and liabilities in fiscal year 2010.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.  Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, transition, and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions.  In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FIN No. 48-1, Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1).  This FSP provides guidance on how a company should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits.  The provisions of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 were effective on July 1, 2007.  See Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the adoption of these pronouncements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (FAS 155). FAS 155 permits the Company to elect to measure any hybrid financial instrument at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings) if the hybrid instrument contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise be required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 155 is effective for all instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after July 1, 2007. The Company does not currently hold any hybrid financial instruments, and therefore the adoption of FAS 155 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2    Acquisitions

Fiscal Year 2007 Acquisition:

On February 15, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of Reptron. The operating results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.

The acquisition is included in the Company's EMS segment and increased the Company's capabilities and expertise in support of the Company's long-term strategy to grow business in the medical electronics and high-end industrial sectors. The acquisition included four manufacturing operations located in Tampa, Florida; Hibbing, Minnesota; Gaylord, Michigan; and Fremont, California. In fiscal year 2008, pursuant to its restructuring plans, the Company ceased operations at the Gaylord, Michigan, and Hibbing, Minnesota, facilities and transferred a majority of the business to several of the Company's other worldwide EMS facilities.  See Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of the restructuring plans.

The total amount of funds required to consummate the merger and to pay fees related to the merger was $50.9 million. The merger was funded with available cash and short-term investments. Merger funds were used to purchase all outstanding Reptron stock for $3.8 million, repay outstanding indebtedness and accrued interest of $17.6 million, tender senior secured notes for $22.4 million at acquisition date plus $4.8 million of senior secured notes and accrued interest redeemed in fiscal year 2008, and pay direct acquisition costs of $2.3 million.  See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the senior secured notes.

51


The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation to assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and goodwill. The acquisition resulted in $11.9 million of goodwill for the EMS segment of the Company. Goodwill of $10.1 million is deductible for tax purposes. The Company also identified and recorded intangible assets of $0.9 million related to customer relationships. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosure related to goodwill and intangible assets. The table shown below reflects revisions made to the purchase price allocation since initially reported.  The purchase price allocation is final.

(Amounts in Thousands)

Reptron Acquisition Purchase Price Allocation

Accounts Receivable $13,218

Deferred Tax Asset 1,130
Other Current Assets 1,173
Property and Equipment 18,380
Customer Relationship Intangible Asset 937

Other Liabilities 184
   Total liabilities assumed $21,082
   Net assets acquired $50,919

Fiscal Year 2006 Acquisitions:

On April 3, 2006, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of the Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom, manufacturing operation of Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited ("BDML") and its parent company, Bayer HealthCare LLC, a member of the worldwide group of companies headed by Bayer AG. The closing of the purchase was effective April 3, 2006. The operating results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.

The acquisition is included in the Company's EMS segment and better positions the Company to capitalize on growth opportunities in the medical market within this segment. The BDML capabilities have added to the Company's package of value that is offered to its medical customers and is a step in the Company's strategy to diversify its markets.

The Company paid BDML a sum of $31.5 million. Direct costs of the acquisition totaled $0.5 million.

The following table summarizes the assets acquired for the BDML acquisition. The building and land were not part of the assets acquired. The Company is leasing a portion of the facility from a third party. The table shown below reflects revisions made to the purchase price during fiscal year 2007, including liabilities related to involuntary terminations.  The purchase price adjustment is final.

(Amounts in Thousands)

BDML Acquisition Purchase Price Allocation

Inventory $28,829
Property and equipment 2,035
Software 653
Deferred Tax Asset 826
Other 63
Goodwill 1,342
   Total assets acquired $33,748
Current liabilities 1,760
   Net assets acquired $31,988

52



For tax purposes, the amount of goodwill recognized was, in thousands, $96 and is fully deductible. The difference between book and tax goodwill, net of deferred taxes, is due to the liabilities for involuntary employee terminations recognized for book purposes that were not part of the purchase price allocation for tax purposes. The entire amount of goodwill was allocated to the EMS segment of the Company.

On May 5, 2006, the Company acquired a printed circuit board assembly operation in Longford, Ireland, from Magna Donnelly Electronics Longford Limited.  Assets acquired were $3.4 million, liabilities assumed were $3.5 million, and the Company received $0.1 million in the acquisition.  Direct costs of the acquisition were $0.3 million.  The acquisition resulted in $0.3 million of goodwill for the EMS segment of the Company.  There were no material purchased intangible assets included in the acquisition.  The operating results of this acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.  The purchase price allocation is final.

The Company is currently in the process of consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, Ireland, and Poland into a new, larger facility in Poland, as part of a restructuring plan to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poland.  See Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Note 3    Inventories

Inventories are valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 17% and 18% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively, including approximately 85% and 86% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.  The EMS segment inventories and the remaining inventories in the Furniture segment are valued using the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market value.

Had the FIFO method been used for all inventories, income from continuing operations would have been $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2008, $0.1 million higher in fiscal year 2007, and $0.7 million lower in fiscal year 2006, and net income, which includes the effect of discontinued operations, would have been $1.1 million higher in fiscal year 2008, $0.1 million higher in fiscal year 2007, and $2.9 million lower in fiscal year 2006.  Additionally, inventories would have been, in millions, $18.2 and $16.4 higher at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, if the FIFO method had been used.  Certain inventory quantity reductions caused liquidations of LIFO inventory values, which increased income from continuing operations by $0.1 million in fiscal year 2008, $1.1 million in fiscal year 2007, and $1.3 million in fiscal year 2006.  LIFO liquidations increased net income, which includes the effect of discontinued operations, by $0.1 million in fiscal year 2008, $1.1 million in fiscal year 2007, and $3.6 million in fiscal year 2006.

Inventory components at June 30 are as follows:

 

    2008

    2007

(Amounts in Thousands)      
Finished products $  42,201 $  34,577
Work-in-process 14,363 15,162
Raw materials 126,583 102,584
  Total FIFO inventory $183,147 $152,323
  LIFO Reserve (18,186) (16,422)
    Total inventory $164,961 $135,901

Note 4    Property and Equipment

Major classes of property and equipment at June 30 consist of the following:

 

2008      

2007      
(Amounts in Thousands)      
Land $      9,472  $      9,865 
Buildings and improvements 171,249  165,483 
Machinery and equipment 326,136  304,531 
Construction-in-progress 23,123  14,810 
  Total $  529,980  $  494,689 
     Less:  Accumulated depreciation (340,076) (320,889)
  Property and equipment, net $  189,904  $  173,800 

53


The useful lives used in computing depreciation are based on the Company's estimate of the service life of the classes of property, as follows:

  Years
Buildings and improvements 5 to 50
Machinery and equipment 2 to 20
Leasehold improvements Lesser of Useful Life or Term of Lease

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment from continuing operations, including asset write-downs associated with the Company's restructuring plans, totaled, in millions, $34.0 for fiscal year 2008, $31.7 for fiscal year 2007, and $28.5 for fiscal year 2006.

At June 30, 2008, in thousands, assets totaling $1,374 were classified as held for sale, comprised of a facility and land related to the exited EMS operation in Gaylord, Michigan.  The assets were reported as unallocated corporate assets for segment reporting purposes.  The Company expects to sell the facility and land during the next 12 months.  Due to a decline in the market value of the EMS facility, the Company recorded in the Restructuring Expense line of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income a pre-tax impairment loss, in thousands, of $390 during fiscal year 2008, of which $310 was recorded within the EMS segment and $80 was recorded after the assets were classified as unallocated corporate.  The fair value of the assets was determined by prices for similar assets.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company sold the facility related to the exited EMS operation in Auburn, Indiana, which totaled, in thousands, $2,534 that was previously classified as held for sale and reported as unallocated corporate assets for segment reporting purposes.  The facility was sold with no resulting gain or loss as impairment, in thousands, of $157, had already been recorded during fiscal year 2008 on the Restructuring Expense line of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Furniture segment recognized, in thousands, a $149 pre-tax loss during fiscal year 2008 due to a decline in the market value of held for sale manufacturing equipment.  The pre-tax loss of $149 was the result of impairment charges and losses on the sales of the equipment and was recorded, in thousands, as $109 in the Cost of Sales line and $40 in the Restructuring Expense line of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.  As of June 30, 2008, no assets were classified as held for sale within the Furniture segment.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had, in thousands, assets totaling $3,032 classified as held for sale.

Note 5    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Leases:

Operating leases from continuing operations for certain office, showroom, manufacturing facilities, land, and equipment, which expire from fiscal year 2009 to 2056, contain provisions under which minimum annual lease payments are, in millions, $3.8, $3.4, $3.2, $2.6, and $1.7 for the five years ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and aggregate $4.2 million from fiscal year 2014 to the expiration of the leases in fiscal year 2056.  The Company is obligated under certain real estate leases to maintain the properties and pay real estate taxes.  Certain of these leases include renewal options and escalation clauses.  Total rental expenses from continuing operations amounted to, in millions, $7.8, $6.5, and $4.7 in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had, in millions, $0.4 and $0.8, respectively, of capitalized leases for equipment.  Future minimum capital annual lease payments excluding imputed interest are, in millions, $0.4 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, with no payments thereafter.

Guarantees:

As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no guarantees issued which were contingent on the future performance of another entity.  Standby letters of credit are issued to third-party suppliers, lessors, and insurance and financial institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of the Company's failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary.  As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $5.1 million and $14.5 million, respectively.  The Company is not aware of circumstances that would require it to perform under any of these arrangements and believes that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect the Company's financial statements.  Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 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.

54


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 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

(Amounts in Thousands) 2008 2007
Product Warranty Liability at the beginning of the year $ 2,147    $ 2,127 
Accrual for warranties issued 446    961 
Reductions related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates) (166)   (47)
Settlements made (in cash or in kind) (957)   (894)
Product Warranty Liability at the end of the year $ 1,470    $ 2,147 

Note 6    Long-Term Debt and Credit Facility

Long-term debt consists of long-term notes payable and capitalized leases.  Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five years are, in thousands, $470, $60, $61, $12, and $14, respectively, and aggregate $274 thereafter.  Interest rates range from 3.455% to 9.25%.  Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company, the fair value of the Company's debt approximates the carrying value.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had no balances due on senior secured notes.  At June 30, 2007, the Company's outstanding balance in senior secured notes was $4.5 million.  These notes represented the remaining portion of notes originally held by Reptron which was not tendered as of the date of the acquisition.  The notes were valued in the preliminary purchase price allocation at their stated 101% redemption price, which approximated their fair value.  As of the acquisition date, the indenture agreement related to the remaining notes was amended to eliminate or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the indenture.  The notes were irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by the acquired Reptron legal entity and were secured by the assets of this legal entity.  The Reptron legal entity was in compliance with all terms and covenants of the notes, as amended, as of June 30, 2007.  The maturity date of the notes was February 2009; however, the Company redeemed the notes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.  The notes were redeemed at the stated redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount together with interest accrued at a fixed 8% annual interest rate through the redemption date.  As of June 30, 2007, the notes were classified as Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  See Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the Reptron acquisition.   

The Company maintains a revolving credit facility which expires in April 2013 and provides for up to $100 million in borrowings, with an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $150 million at the Company's request, subject to participating banks' consent.  The $100 million credit facility replaced a previous $75 million credit facility, which also provided an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $125 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 2008, 2007, and 2006.  The commitment fee on the unused portion of principal amount of the credit facility is payable at a rate that ranges from 12.5 to 15.0 basis points per annum as determined by the Company's leverage ratio.  Borrowings under the credit agreement bear interest at a floating rate based, at the Company's option, upon a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable percentage or the greater of the federal funds rate plus an applicable percentage and the prime rate.  The Company is in compliance with debt covenants requiring it to maintain certain debt-to-total capitalization, interest coverage ratio, minimum net worth, and other terms and conditions. 

The Company also maintains a separate foreign credit facility which is backed by the $100 million revolving credit facility.  The separate foreign credit facility is expected to be reviewed in May 2009 for renewal.  The interest rate applicable to borrowings in US dollars under the separate foreign credit facility is charged at 0.75% per annum over the Singapore Interbank Money Market Offered Rate (SIBOR).  The interest rate on borrowings in Thai Baht under the separate foreign credit facility is charged at the prevailing market rate. 

55


At June 30, 2008, the Company had $52.6 million of short-term borrowings outstanding.  The outstanding balance consisted of $17.3 million for a Euro currency borrowing which provides a natural currency hedge against Euro denominated intercompany notes between the US parent and the Euro functional currency subsidiaries, and an additional $33.6 million funded short-term cash needs.  The Company also had letters of credit against the credit facility.  In addition, at June 30, 2008, $1.7 million of short-term borrowings were outstanding under a separate foreign credit facility which is backed by the $100 million credit facility.  Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $44.2 million at June 30, 2008.  At June 30, 2007, the Company had $18.9 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the credit facility.

The Company also has a credit facility for its electronics operation in Wales, United Kingdom.  The facility will be reviewed in November 2008 and will expire if not renewed at that time. The facility allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 2 million Sterling equivalent (approximately $4 million US dollars) and is available to cover bank overdrafts.  Bank overdrafts may be deemed necessary to satisfy short-term cash needs rather than funding from intercompany sources.  The interest rate applicable to the Sterling overdraft facility is charged at 1% per annum over the Bank of England's Sterling Base Rate.  At June 30, 2008, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility.  At June 30, 2007, as collateral subject to lien, this facility required 3 million Euro (approximately $4 million US dollars) to be held as restricted cash which was classified as other long-term assets on the Company's balance sheet. The restricted cash is no longer required as collateral and was reclassified to cash and cash equivalents on the Company's balance sheet. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $3.0 million US dollar equivalent of Sterling-denominated short-term borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility.

As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the weighted average interest rates on the Company's short-term borrowings outstanding under the credit facilities were 4.99% and 4.93%, respectively.  Cash payments for interest on borrowings were, in thousands, $2,197, $889, and $544, in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

Note 7    Employee Benefit Plans

Retirement Plans:

The Company has a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan in effect for substantially all domestic employees meeting the eligibility requirements. The plan includes a 401(k) feature, thereby permitting participants to make additional voluntary contributions on a pre-tax basis.  Payments by the Company to the trusteed plan have a five-year vesting schedule and are held for the sole benefit of participants. The Company also maintains a trusteed defined contribution retirement plan for employees of acquired companies.

The Company maintains a supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) for executive employees which enable them to defer cash compensation on a pre-tax basis in excess of IRS limitations.  The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy.

Company contributions for domestic employees are based on a percent of net income with certain minimum and maximum limits as determined by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.  Total expense related to employer contributions to the retirement plans was $5.8 million for each of fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Employees of certain foreign subsidiaries are covered by local pension or retirement plans.  Total expense related to employer contributions to these foreign plans for 2008, 2007, and 2006 was, in millions, $1.0, $0.9, and $0.2, respectively.

56


Severance Plans:

The Company maintains severance plans for substantially all domestic employees.  The plans 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, and Net Periodic Benefit Cost are as follows:

The benefit cost in the above table includes only normal recurring levels of severance activity, as estimated using an actuarial method and management judgment.  Unusual or nonrecurring severance actions, such as those disclosed in Note 17 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, are not estimable using actuarial methods and are expensed when incurred.

The Company amortizes prior service costs on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees that were active at the time of the plan initiation and amortizes actuarial losses on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

The estimated actuarial net loss and prior service cost for the severance plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are, pre-tax in thousands, $15 and $286, 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, 2003.  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 two former stock incentive plans, which are described below.  The pre-tax compensation cost that was charged against income from continuing operations for all of the plans was $4.0 million, $4.9 million, and $3.8 million in fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  The total income tax benefit from continuing operations for stock compensation arrangements was $1.6 million, $1.9 million, and $1.5 million in fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  These compensation expense and tax benefit amounts exclude the impact of the Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle recorded in fiscal year 2006, as described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company generally uses treasury shares for fulfillment of option exercises, issuance of performance shares, and conversion of restricted share units.

Performance Shares:

The Company awards performance shares to officers and other key employees under the 2003 Plan.  Under these awards, a number of shares will be granted to each participant based upon the attainment of the applicable bonus percentage calculated under the Company's profit sharing incentive bonus plan as applied to a total potential share award made and approved by the Compensation and Governance Committee. Performance shares are vested when issued shortly after the end of the fiscal year in which the performance measurement period is complete and are issued as Class A and Class B common shares.  Certain outstanding performance shares are applicable to performance measurement periods in future fiscal years and will be measured at fair value when the performance targets are established in future fiscal years.  The contractual life of performance shares ranges from one to five years.  If a participant is not employed by the Company on the date of issuance, the performance share award is forfeited, except in the case of death, retirement at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in the Company's employment policy.  Additionally, to the extent performance conditions are not fully attained, performance shares are forfeited. 

A summary of performance share activity under the 2003 Plan during fiscal year 2008 is presented below:

  Number
of Shares
Weighted Average
Grant Date
Fair Value
Performance shares outstanding at July 1, 2007 683,997  $17.43 
Granted 384,282    12.16 
Vested (201,598)   16.68 
Forfeited (107,629)   16.62 
Performance shares outstanding at June 30, 2008 759,052  $12.16 

58


As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $3.0 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 2008 through August 2012, with a weighted average vesting period of 1.7 years.  The fair value of performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of award, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding performance share awards.  The weighted average grant date fair value was $12.16, $17.42, and $12.24 for performance share awards granted in fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  During fiscal year 2008 and 2007, respectively, 201,598 and 150,651 performance shares vested at a fair value of $3.4 million and $1.8 million.  The number of shares presented in the above table, the amounts of unrecognized compensation, and the weighted average period include performance shares awarded that are applicable to future performance measurement periods and will be measured at fair value when the performance targets are established in future fiscal years.

Restricted Share Units:

Nonvested Restricted Share Units (RSU) awarded to officers and other key employees are currently outstanding under the 2003 Plan. RSUs vest five years after the date of award.  Upon vesting, the outstanding number of RSUs and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of Class A and Class B common stock.  If the employment of a holder of an RSU terminates before the RSU has vested for any reason other than death, retirement at age 62 or older, total permanent disability, or certain other circumstances described in the Company's employment policy, the RSU and accumulated dividends will be forfeited.

A summary of RSU activity under the 2003 Plan during fiscal year 2008 is presented below:

Forfeited (4,200)   14.79 
Restricted Share Units outstanding at June 30, 2008 480,900  $15.77 


As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $1.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU compensation arrangements awarded under the 2003 Plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.  The fair value of RSU awards is based on the stock price at the date of award.  The total fair value of RSU awards vested during fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006 was, in thousands, $233, $24, and $31, respectively.

Unrestricted Share Grants:

Under the 2003 Plan, unrestricted shares may be granted to participants as consideration for service to the Company.  Unrestricted share grants do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions.  The fair value of unrestricted shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award.  During fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, the Company granted a total of 13,186, 7,668, and 18,501 unrestricted shares of Class B common stock at an average grant date fair value of $13.16, $24.53, and $11.22, for a total fair value of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million.  These shares were issued to members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director's fees, as a result of directors' elections to receive unrestricted shares in lieu of cash payment.

59


Stock Options:

The Company has stock options outstanding under two former stock incentive plans.  The 1996 Stock Incentive Program, which was approved by the Company's Share Owners on October 22, 1996, allowed the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, and performance share awards to officers and other key employees of the Company and to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees.  The 1996 Stock Incentive Program will continue to have options outstanding through fiscal year 2013.  The 1996 Directors' Stock Compensation and Option Plan, available to all members of the Board of Directors, was approved by the Company's Share Owners on October 22, 1996.  Under the terms of that plan, Directors electing to receive all, or a portion, of their fees in the form of Company stock were also granted a number of stock options equal to 50% of the number of shares received for compensation of fees. The Directors' Stock Compensation and Option Plan will continue to have options outstanding through fiscal year 2009.  No shares remain available for new grants under the Company's prior stock option plans.

There were no stock option grants awarded during fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006.   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 from one to five years after the date of grant and expire five to 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.

The Company also had an immaterial number of stock appreciation rights outstanding under the former 1996 Stock Incentive Program, prior to their expiration in August 2007.  As valued by the Black-Scholes valuation model, these awards had no value as of June 30, 2007.

A summary of stock option activity under the two former plans during fiscal year 2008 is presented below:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal year 2007 and 2006 was $5.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  The value of existing shares held by employees was used to exercise stock options.  The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises totaled $1.9 million and $0.1 million  for fiscal year 2007 and 2006, respectively.  No options were exercised during fiscal year 2008.

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 net of valuation allowance associated with net operating losses of, in thousands, $2,858 expire from fiscal year 2012 to 2028.  Income tax benefits net of valuation allowance associated with net tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $104, expire from fiscal year 2014 to 2021.  A valuation reserve was provided as of June 30, 2008 for deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating losses of, in thousands, $1,308, certain state tax credit carryforwards of, in thousands, $3,460, and, in thousands, $198 related to other deferred tax assets that the Company currently believes are more likely than not to remain unrealized in the future.

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

Changes in the unrecognized tax benefit during fiscal year 2008 were as follows:

(Amounts in Thousands) Unrecognized Tax Benefit
Beginning balance - July 1, 2007 $  5,617  
Tax positions related to prior years:  
    Additions 161  
    Reductions (4,737)
Tax positions related to current year:  
    Additions 70  
    Reductions   -0-
Settlements (13)
Lapses in statute of limitations (78)
Ending balance - June 30, 2008 $  1,020 

The $4.7 million reduction for prior year tax positions was due primarily to the IRS approving Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method.  The approval of Form 3115 eliminated the need for an unrecognized tax benefit liability.  The reduction in the liability resulted in a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax assets.  Included in the June 30, 2008 and July 1, 2007 liability for unrecognized tax benefits were, respectively, in millions, $0.7 and $0.6 of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as Interest expense and Non-operating expense, respectively, under Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Interest and penalties recognized for the period ended June 30, 2008 were, in millions, $0.3 income. The total amount of liability accrued for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008 and July 1, 2007, respectively, in millions, were interest of $0.3 and $0.7 and penalties of $0.1 and $0.1. Interest and penalties are not included in the tabular roll forward of unrecognized tax benefits above.

The Company, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to any significant U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2006. During the Company's fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service completed an examination of the U.S. federal tax returns for fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, which the Company believes effectively settled those years. The Company is subject to various state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years after June 30, 2003 and various foreign jurisdictions for years after June 30, 2002. 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.

63


If any dividends are not paid on shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock for a period of thirty-six consecutive months, or if at any time the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding is less than 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of both Class A and Class B Common Stock, then all shares of Class B Common Stock shall automatically have the same rights and privileges as the Class A Common Stock, with full and equal voting rights and with equal rights to receive dividends as and if declared by the Board of Directors.

During fiscal year 2008, cash payments for repurchases of common stock were $24.8 million which included $2.5 million that was included in accounts payable at June 30, 2007.  With these repurchases, the Company completed a previously authorized share repurchase program.  Subsequent to the completion of the previously authorized share repurchase program, the Board of Directors authorized a plan which allows for the repurchase of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

Note 11    Derivative Instruments

The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business. As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Before acquiring a derivative instrument to hedge a specific risk, potential natural hedges are evaluated. Derivative instruments are only utilized to manage underlying exposures that arise from the Company's business operations and are not used for speculative purposes. 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.

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. The maximum length of time the Company had hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows was 27 and 12 months as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For derivative instruments that meet the criteria of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted, 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, a component of Share Owners' Equity, and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in other income or expense immediately.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 was, in thousands, $1,307 and $835, recorded in assets, and $2,582 and $430 recorded in liabilities, respectively. Derivative gains (losses), on a pre-tax basis, were, in thousands, ($3,130), 1,287, and ($405), in fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Included in the derivative gain for fiscal year 2007 was $299 pre-tax income, in thousands, related to Thailand hedges which were determined to be ineffective as a result of government currency exchange rate controls.  Ineffectiveness was not material during fiscal year 2008 and 2006.  Derivative gains and losses are reported in the Cost of Sales and Non-Operating Income lines of the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Net Income (Loss) line of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company estimates that, in thousands, $1,036 of pre-tax derivative losses deferred in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income will be reclassified into earnings, along with the earnings effects of related forecasted transactions, within the next fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.

Note 12    Short-Term Investments

The Company's short-term investment portfolio consists of available-for-sale securities, primarily government and municipal obligations.  These securities are reported at fair value, which is estimated based upon the quoted market values of those, or similar instruments.  Carrying costs reflect the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the security.  Government and municipal obligations mature within a six-year period.

As of June 30, 2008, 24 investments were in an unrealized loss position and the unrealized loss approximated 0.4% of their fair value.  The duration of the unrealized loss positions ranges from three to 56 months.  The Company has the ability to hold these investments and expects unrealized losses to be recoverable, and therefore, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.  In reaching the conclusion that investments are not impaired, the Company considered the severity of loss, the credit quality of the instrument in relation to its yield, whether the external fund manager has discretion to trade at a loss, and the fact that the value of the debt investments is driven by interest rate fluctuations.

The fair value and unrealized loss for investments which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months total, in thousands, $18,535 and ($83), respectively, as of June 30, 2008.  There were no investments which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer as of June 30, 2008.  The fair value and unrealized loss for investments which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months total, in thousands, $42,844 and ($256), respectively, as of June 30, 2007.  The fair value and unrealized loss for investments which were in a continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or longer total, in thousands, $5,888 and ($65), respectively, as of June 30, 2007. 

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were, in thousands, $39,126, $13,403, and $13,285 for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.  Gross realized gains and (losses) on the sale of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2008 were, in thousands, $305 and ($71), respectively, compared to gross realized gains and (losses) of, in thousands, $17 and ($72), respectively, at June 30, 2007 and $2 and ($91), respectively, at June 30, 2006.  The cost was determined on each individual security in computing the realized gains and losses.  Realized gains and losses are reported in the Other Income (Expense) category of the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (SERP) for executive employees.  The SERP is structured as a rabbi trust and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy.  The Company recognizes SERP investment assets on the balance sheet at current fair value.  A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the balance sheet representing the Company's obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants.  The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income.  Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income and exactly offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets.  The change in net unrealized holding gains and (losses) at June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was, in thousands, ($2,385), $2,939, and $1,720, respectively.  SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:

Note 14   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 Furniture segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names.  The EMS segment provides engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities to a variety of industries globally.  The EMS segment focuses on electronic assemblies that have high durability requirements and are sold on a contract basis and produced to customers' specifications.  The Company currently sells primarily to customers in the medical, automotive, industrial controls, and public safety industries.  The EMS segment, formerly named the Electronic Contract Assemblies segment, was renamed to more accurately reflect the focus of this segment.  There was no financial impact from this name change.

Included in the EMS segment are sales to two major customers.  Sales to Bayer AG entities under common control, including Bayer Diagnostics Manufacturing Limited, totaled, in millions, $149.9, $198.9, and $66.4 in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, representing 11%, 15%, and 6% of consolidated net sales, respectively, for such periods.  Sales to TRW Automotive, Inc., totaled in millions, $97.0, $96.6, and $135.6 in fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively, representing 7%, 8%, 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, short-term investments, and other assets not allocated to segments.  Unallocated corporate income from continuing operations consists of income not allocated to segments for purposes of evaluating segment performance and includes income from corporate investments and other non-operational items.  Sales between the Furniture segment and EMS segment are not material.

The Company evaluates segment performance based upon several financial measures, although the two most common include economic profit, which incorporates a segment's cost of capital when evaluating financial performance, and income from continuing operations.  Income from continuing operations is reported for each segment as it is the measure most consistent with the measurement principles used in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The Company aggregates multiple operating segments into each reportable segment.  The aggregated operating segments have similar economic characteristics and meet the other aggregation criteria required by SFAS 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

Note 15   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:

Note 17  Restructuring Expense

Because of evolving customer preferences for EMS operations in low-cost regions, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise in Poznan, Poland.  As part of the plan, the Company will consolidate its EMS facilities located in Longford, Ireland; Wales, United Kingdom; and Poznan, Poland; into a new, larger facility in Poznan, which is expected to improve margins in the very competitive EMS market.  The plan includes the sale of an existing Poland building at a gain which will partially fund the consolidation activities.  The plan is to be executed in stages with a projected completion date of December 2011.  The Company currently estimates that the pre-tax charges related to the consolidation activities will be approximately, in millions, $20.0 consisting of approximately $18.5 of severance and other employee costs, $0.6 of lease exit costs, $0.4 of property and equipment asset impairment, and $0.5 of other exit costs.  These estimates exclude the estimated gain on the sale of the Poland building mentioned above.

71


In an effort to improve profitability and increase Share Owner value while remaining committed to its business model of being market driven and customer centered, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a restructuring plan designed to more appropriately align its workforce in a changing business environment.  Within the Company's EMS segment, the restructuring activities include realigning engineering and technical resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes.  Within the Company's Furniture segment, the restructuring activities include realigning information technology and procurement resources closer to the customer and streamlining administrative and sales processes to drive further synergies afforded by the recent alignment of the sales and manufacturing functions within this segment.  The plan also includes reducing corporate personnel costs to more properly align with the overall sales mix change within the Company.  The Company expects total pre-tax restructuring expenses of $2.8 million, consisting of employee severance and transition costs of approximately $2.4 million and other restructuring expenses of $0.4 million.  On a segment basis, the Company expects total pre-tax restructuring expenses of $1.6 million in the Furniture segment, consisting of employee severance and transition costs of approximately $1.2 million and other restructuring expenses of $0.4 million.  The Company expects total pre-tax restructuring expenses for employee severance and transition costs of approximately $0.8 million in the EMS segment and $0.4 million in Unallocated Corporate. The plan was substantially complete by June 30, 2008 with a few activities to occur in the first half of fiscal year 2009.

With the Reptron acquisition, the Company recognized it would have excess capacity in North America.  See Note 2 - Acquisitions of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of the acquisition.  Management developed a plan as of the acquisition date to consolidate capacity within the acquired facilities.  Based on a review of future growth potential in various geographies and input from existing customers regarding future capacity needs, during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company finalized a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit the facility located in Gaylord, Michigan, and transfer the business to several of the Company's other EMS facilities.  The Company ceased production at the facility during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.  Excess equipment was sold during the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, and the Gaylord facility is classified as held for sale. The Company expects to recognize minimal future charges related to ongoing facility maintenance expenses.  The Company expects total pre-tax restructuring costs to be approximately $1.8 million, including $0.8 million related to employee severance and transition costs which were recognized as a purchase price allocation adjustment, not impacting earnings, asset impairment of $0.7 million and $0.3 million of other restructuring costs.  Subsequent to this decision, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a restructuring plan to further consolidate its EMS facilities that will result in the exit of a manufacturing facility located in Hibbing, Minnesota, which was also one of the facilities acquired in the acquisition of Reptron.  A majority of the Hibbing business transferred to several of the Company's other worldwide EMS facilities.  The leased facility will be exited, and some of the equipment will be sold.  The Company ceased production at the facility during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and will complete all remaining restructuring activities by the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.  The Company expects total pre-tax restructuring charges, most of which were recognized during fiscal year 2008, to be approximately $1.6 million, including $0.5 million related to employee severance and transition costs, asset and goodwill impairment of $0.4 million, lease exit costs of $0.3 million, and other restructuring costs of $0.4 million.

As a result of excess capacity in North America, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company approved a restructuring plan within the EMS segment to exit a manufacturing facility located in Northern Indiana. As part of this restructuring plan, the production for select programs was transferred to other locations within this segment. Operations at this facility ceased in fiscal year 2007, and the facility was sold during fiscal year 2008. Total pre-tax restructuring charges related to this plan were $1.4 million, consisting of employee transition costs of $0.7 million, acceleration of software amortization of $0.4 million, acceleration of plant, property, and equipment depreciation of $0.1 million, and other restructuring costs of $0.4 million partially offset by $0.2 million for gains on the sale of equipment net of other asset impairment.

72


As part of the Company's plan to sharpen focus and simplify business processes within the Furniture segment, the Company announced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a plan which included consolidation of administrative, marketing, and business development functions to better serve the segment's primary markets. The plan includes accelerating amortization through fiscal year 2008 on a portion of the Company's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.  During the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, capitalized software costs related to the ERP software that was not yet placed in service were abandoned and recognized as impaired. Restructuring charges related to ERP software impairment, accelerated amortization, employee severance, and other consolidation costs are recorded on the Restructuring Expense line item of the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The plan also included the sale of a forest products hardwood lumber business and a business unit which produced fixed-wall furniture systems. Losses on the sale of these business units were recognized in fiscal year 2006 as discontinued operations.  The Company estimates total pre-tax charges under the plan, when complete, to be approximately $17.1 million, including the pre-tax loss on the sale of business operations and other impairment of $11.1 million which was recorded as discontinued operations, and restructuring charges for plant, property, and equipment impairment of $0.6 million, software impairment of $2.8 million, acceleration of software amortization of $2.2 million, and employee severance costs of $0.4 million.  This plan was complete as of June 30, 2008.

The Company accounts for restructuring cost in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.  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.

Fiscal Year 2008 Restructuring Charges:

As a result of the fiscal year 2008, 2007, and 2006 restructuring plans, the Company recognized consolidated pre-tax restructuring expense of $21.9 million in fiscal year 2008.

Note 18    Discontinued Operations

Fiscal Year 2007 Discontinued Operations:

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company approved a plan to exit the production of wood rear projection television (PTV) cabinets and stands within the Furniture segment, which affected the Company's Juarez, Mexico, operation. With the exit, the Company no longer has continuing involvement with the production of PTV cabinets and stands.  Production at the Juarez facility ceased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, and all inventory has been sold.  Miscellaneous wrap-up activities including disposition of remaining equipment were complete as of June 30, 2007.  Beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the year-to-date financial results associated with the Mexican operations in the Furniture segment were classified as discontinued operations, and all prior periods were restated.

Fiscal Year 2006 Discontinued Operations:

On September 15, 2005, in conjunction with its restructuring plan to sharpen its focus on primary markets within the Furniture segment, the Company approved plans to sell the operations of a forest products hardwood lumber business and a business which produced and sold fixed-wall furniture systems.  Additionally on November 8, 2005, the Company approved a plan to exit a non-core business that manufactured polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage, and residential furniture industries. 

On October 14, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the fixed-wall furniture systems business, which included primarily the sale of property and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and product rights.  The purchase price totaled $1.2 million, of which $0.3 million was received at closing and $0.9 million was a note receivable, which has been collected.  The sale resulted in a net loss of $1.4 million.  The loss on disposal of the fixed-wall furniture business included an after-tax goodwill impairment loss of $0.3 million recognized in the Furniture segment in fiscal year 2006.  The goodwill impairment loss was based upon the cessation of cash flows related to the fixed-wall furniture systems business.  The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.

On November 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of the forest products hardwood lumber business to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc., which included primarily the sale of property and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and timber assets.  The president and owner of Indiana Hardwoods, Inc. is Barry L. Cook, who was formerly employed by the Company as a Vice President of Kimball International, Inc. and had responsibility for this hardwoods lumber operation.  The transaction prices were negotiated between the Company and Indiana Hardwoods, Inc.  The Company also considered offers from other interested outside parties, but ultimately determined that it was in the Company's best interest financially to sell this operation to Indiana Hardwoods, Inc.  The purchase price totaled $25.5 million, of which $23.5 million was received at closing and $2.0 million was a note receivable.  During fiscal year 2008, the Company opted to accept a cash payment of a lesser amount as payment in full of the note receivable.  The sale resulted in a net loss of $5.0 million.  The Company has no ongoing commitments resulting from the sales agreement. The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.

76


On January 20, 2006, the Company completed the sale of a non-core business that manufactures polyurethane and polyester molded components for use in the recreational vehicle, signage, and residential furniture industries, which included primarily the sale of inventories and machinery and equipment.  The purchase price totaled $0.6 million.  The sale resulted in a net loss of $0.7 million.  The Company does not have significant continuing cash flows or continuing involvement with this business.

In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations, and their operating results and gains (losses) on disposal are presented on the Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax line of the Consolidated Statements of Income.  During fiscal year 2008, the Company did not classify any additional businesses as discontinued operations.

SUMMARY OF DIRECTOR AND NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

This summary sets forth the compensation of the Directors of Kimball International, Inc. (the "Company"). The summary also includes compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and three most highly compensated executive officers (the "Named Executive Officers") of the Company as identified in the Company's most recent Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

For a detailed description of the compensation arrangements that the Directors and Named Executive Officers participate in, refer to the Company's most recent Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Director Compensation
All Outside (non-employee) Directors receive annual compensation of $40,000 for the year for service as Directors. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors receives $5,000 per committee meeting, and other Audit Committee members receive $3,500 per committee meeting. The Chairperson of the Compensation and Governance Committee receives $3,500 per committee meeting, and other members of the Compensation and Governance Committee receive $2,000 per committee meeting.  On April 1, 2008, a new committee of the Board of Directors was established.  The Strategic Planning Committee ("SPC") was formed for the purpose of review and evaluation of various strategies of the Company with the SPC making appropriate recommendations regarding such strategies to the full Board of Directors.  The employee members of the SPC are Douglas A. Habig and James C. Thyen.  The Outside Director members of the SPC are Geoffrey L. Stringer, Christine M. Vujovich, and Harry W. Bowman.  The Outside Director members of the SPC receive $3,500 per committee meeting.

The Directors can elect to receive all of their annual retainer and/or meeting fees in shares of Class B Common Stock under the Company's 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan.   Directors are also reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with Board and Committee meeting attendance.

An Outside Director is a director who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries.  James C. Thyen, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Douglas A. Habig, Chairman of the Board, are Directors of the Company but do not receive compensation for their services as Directors.

Named Executive Officers

Base Pay
Periodically, the Compensation and Governance Committee ("the Committee") of the Board of Directors reviews and approves the salaries that are paid to the Company's executive officers. The following are the current annualized base salaries for the Company's Named Executive Officers:

     James C. Thyen, President and Chief Executive Officer

$889,980

     Douglas A. Habig, Chairman of the Board

$260,000

     Donald D. Charron, Executive Vice President, President-Kimball Electronics Group

$522,600

     P. Daniel Miller, Executive Vice President, President-Furniture

$494,000

     Robert F. Schneider, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer

$421,200

Cash Incentive Compensation
Each of the Named Executive Officers was eligible to participate in the Company's 2005 Profit Sharing Incentive Bonus Plan (the "Plan") for fiscal year 2008.  Under the Plan, cash incentives are accrued annually and paid in five installments over the succeeding fiscal year. Except for provisions relating to retirement, death, permanent disability, and certain other circumstances described in a participant's employment agreement, participants must be actively employed on each payment date to be eligible to receive any unpaid cash incentive installment. The total amount of cash incentives accrued and authorized to be paid to the Named Executive Officers based on the Company's fiscal year 2008 results is listed below. The Named Executive Officers received an installment of 50% of the payment in August 2008, and the remaining portions will be paid in equal installments in September 2008, January 2009, April 2009, and June 2009.

     James C. Thyen, President and Chief Executive Officer

$160,142

     Douglas A. Habig, Chairman of the Board

     Donald D. Charron, Executive Vice President, President-Kimball Electronics Group

 $  54,120

     P. Daniel Miller, Executive Vice President, President-Furniture

$180,880

     Robert F. Schneider, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer

$  77,292

Effective July 1, 2008, Douglas A. Habig will no longer participate in the Company's 2005 Profit Sharing Incentive Bonus Plan.

Donald D. Charron was awarded $60,000 in fiscal year 2008 under the Supplemental Bonus Plan because of leadership work completed regarding the EMS segment reorganization to improve longer term profitability.

Stock Compensation
The Named Executive Officers may also receive a variety of stock incentive benefits under the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan consisting of: restricted stock, restricted share units, unrestricted share grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and performance units.  The only form of award granted to Named Executive Officers for fiscal year 2008 was performance shares.  Performance shares include both an annual performance share ("APS") award and a long-term performance share ("LTPS") award with one-fifth (1/5) of the LTPS award vesting annually over the succeeding five-year period.  No other form of award has been granted to the Named Executive Officers since July 2005.

The following table summarizes the performance shares issued in Class A Common Stock during August 2008 to the Company's Named Executive Officers pursuant to their fiscal year 2008 performance share awards:

     P. Daniel Miller, Executive Vice President, President-Furniture

  4,000 13,400

     Robert F. Schneider, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer

  4,000 13,400

The number of shares to be issued will be dependent upon the percentage payout under the Plan.  Refer to the Company's Proxy Statement for further details.

Retirement Plans
The Named Executive Officers participate in a defined contribution, participant-directed retirement plan with a 401(k) provision that all domestic employees are eligible to participate in (the "Retirement Plan"). The Retirement Plan provides for voluntary employee contributions as well as a discretionary annual Company contribution based on a percent of net income with certain minimum and maximum limits as determined by the Board of Directors. Each eligible employee's Company contribution is defined as a percent of eligible compensation, the percent being identical for all eligible employees, including Named Executive Officers. Participant contributions are fully vested immediately, and Company contributions are fully vested after five years of participation. All Named Executive Officers are fully vested. The Retirement Plan is fully funded. For those eligible employees who, under the 1986 Tax Reform Act, are deemed to be highly compensated, their individual Company contribution under the Retirement Plan is reduced. For employees who are eligible, including all Named Executive Officers, there is a nonqualified, Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) in which the Company contributes to the account of each individual an amount equal to the reduction in the contribution under the Retirement Plan arising from the provisions of the 1986 Tax Reform Act.

Other
The Named Executive Officers receive nominal benefits such as financial counseling, medical reimbursement, executive preventive healthcare program, car allowances, tax preparation, and other miscellaneous items.  The Named Executive Officers may use the Company aircraft for transportation related to the executive preventive healthcare program and for limited personal reasons.  The exact amounts received from these benefits are not predetermined and are disclosed annually in the Company's Proxy Statement.
