                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors and Shareholders
HON INDUSTRIES Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of HON INDUSTRIES Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, January 1, 1994, and January 2, 1993, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the years then ended.  Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a).  These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of HON
INDUSTRIES Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, January 1, 1994, and
January 2, 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefits in 1994 and its
method of accounting for income taxes and postretirement benefits other than
pensions in 1993.

HON INDUSTRIES Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

PRINCIPAL BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION

The Company operates in one principal business segment, the manufacture of
office furniture and accessories, including file cabinets, desks, chairs,
credenzas, and panel systems. The Company also manufactures factory-built
fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and stoves; however, this business is not of
sufficient size to be a reportable segment.

One customer accounted for approximately 10%, 13%, and 12% of consolidated net
sales in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Year-End
- -----------------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of
the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year
1994 ended on December 31, 1994; 1993 ended on January 1, 1994; and 1992 ended
on January 2, 1993.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

The Company considers all investments with a maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Short-Term Investments
- ----------------------

Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Receivables
- -----------

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$1,654,000; $1,917,000; and $1,964,000 for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

Inventories
- -----------

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined principally by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

Property, Plant, and Equipment
- ------------------------------

Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation has been
computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives: land
improvements, 10-20 years; buildings, 10-40 years; and machinery and equipment,
4-12 years.

CHANGES IN BUSINESS

On October 8, 1993, the Company announced the closing of its CorryHiebert
Corporation furniture plant located in Corry, Pennsylvania, which closed on
December 17, 1993. The closure resulted in a pretax charge of $3,980,000 (after-
tax effect of $2,507,000, or $.08 per share) recorded in the fiscal quarter
ended October 2, 1993.

Certain of the above borrowing arrangements include covenants which require the
maintenance of a minimum level of working capital, place restrictions on the
payment of cash dividends, and limit the assumption of additional debt and lease
obligations. Approximately $146,489,000 of retained earnings were unrestricted
at the end of 1994.

The fair value of the Company's outstanding long-term debt obligations at year-
end 1994 approximates the recorded aggregate amount.

Property, plant and equipment, with net carrying values of approximately
$28,406,000 at the end of 1994, are mortgaged.

INCOME TAXES

Effective January 3, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS No. 109). Financial statements for years
prior to 1993 were not restated. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS No. 109
at January 3, 1993, was to increase net income by $489,000, or $.02 a share.

Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

During 1994, shareholders approved the 1994 Members' Stock Purchase Plan. Under
the new plan, 500,000 shares of common stock were registered for issuance to
participating members. Beginning on July 3, 1994, rights to purchase stock are
granted on a quarterly basis to all members who have one year of employment
eligibility and work a minimum of 20 hours per week. The price of the stock
purchased under the plan is 85% of the closing price on the applicable purchase
date. No member may purchase stock under the plan in an amount which exceeds the
lesser of 20% of his or her gross earnings or 2,000 shares, with a maximum fair
market value of $25,000 in any calendar year. During 1994, 77,302 shares of
common stock were issued under the plan at an average price of $23.25. An
additional 422,698 shares were available for issuance under the plan at December
31, 1994.

The Company has granted restricted stock awards aggregating 75,500 shares of
common stock to officers. Vesting of such shares, which is generally dependent
on continued employment, occurs in 25% increments annually. The officers are
entitled to dividends and have voting rights on all shares awarded. Unearned
compensation expense, representing the fair market value of the shares at the
date of grant, is charged to income over the vesting period. Approximately
$37,000; $223,000; and $356,000 were charged to income as a result of the awards
for the years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. At year-end 1994, 1,875 of the
awarded shares were not vested.

Pursuant to the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan, each share of common stock
carries with it one Right. Each Right entitles a shareholder to buy one two-
hundredth of a share of a new series of preferred stock at an exercise price of
$75.00. Each one two-hundredth of a share of the new preferred stock has terms
designed to make it the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. Rights
will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the
Company's common stock or announces a tender offer, the consummation of which
would result in ownership by a person or group of 20% or more of the common
stock. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination
transaction, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the then current
exercise price of the Right, a number of the acquiring company's common shares
having a market value at that time of twice the exercise price of the Right.

The Company has entered into change in control employment agreements with
corporate officers and certain other key employees. According to the agreements,
a change in control occurs when a third person or entity becomes the beneficial
owner of 20% or more of the Company's common stock or when more than one-third
of the Company's Board of Directors is composed of persons not recommended by at
least three-fourths of the incumbent Board of Directors. Upon a change in
control, a key employee is deemed to have a two-year employment with the
Company, and all his or her benefits are vested under Company plans. If, at any
time within two years of the change in control, his or her position, salary,
bonus, place of work, or Company-provided benefits are modified, or employment
is terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or by the key
employee for good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement, then the
key employee is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to two times
salary and the average of the prior two years' bonuses.

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company has defined contribution profit-sharing plans covering substantially
all employees who are not participants in certain defined benefit plans. The
Company's annual contribution to the defined contribution plans is based on
employee eligible earnings and results of operations and amounted to
$10,849,000; $10,092,000; and $9,472,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

The Company sponsors defined benefit plans which include a limited number of
salaried and hourly employees at certain subsidiaries. The Company's funding
policy is generally to contribute annually the minimum actuarially computed
amount. Net pension costs relating to these plans were $228,000; $172,000; and
$151,000 for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. The actuarial present value of
benefit obligations, less related plan assets at fair value, is not significant.

In 1992, the Company established a trust to administer a newly adopted leveraged
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), the HON Members Company Ownership Plan.
Company contributions based on employee eligible earnings and dividends on the
shares are used to make loan interest and principal payments. As the loan is
repaid, shares are

In 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which required accrual
accounting for nonaccumulating postemployment benefits. The cumulative effect of
adoption was to reduce net income by $237,000, after tax, or $.01 a share.

POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," as of
January 3, 1993, and recorded the cumulative effect of the accounting change on
the deferred recognition basis. The cost of providing these benefits was
previously recognized in the period in which the benefits were paid.

The following table sets forth the funded status of the plan, reconciled to the
accrued postretirement benefits cost recognized in the Company's balance sheet

</TABLE>

The discount rates at December 31, 1994, and January 1, 1994, were 8.0% and
7.5%, respectively. The 1995 trend rates begin at 8.6% for the post-65 medical
coverage and 12.2% for the prescription drug coverage. These rates decrease
until their respective caps are reached in the year 2002 for post-65 medical
coverage and 2001 for prescription drug coverage. Thereafter, the medical trend
rates applicable to the Company subsidy are assumed to be zero percent. Since
the pre-65 benefit is currently capped, medical trend rates are assumed to be
zero percent for all years. If the medical trend rates were increased by 1.0%
for each year, the APBO as of December 31, 1994, would increase by $98,000, and
the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic
postretirement benefit cost for fiscal year 1994 would increase by $8,000. The
1992 cost for these postretirement benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis was
$1,023,000.

Rent expense for the years 1994, 1993, and 1992 amounted to approximately
$6,572,000; $4,854,000; and $5,031,000, respectively. Contingent rent expense
under both operating and capitalized leases (generally based on mileage of
transportation equipment) amounted to $525,000; $490,000; and $674,000 for the
years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

CONTINGENCIES

In connection with laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of the
environment, the Company is a party to a few remediation investigations and
clean-ups and, along with other companies, has been named a "potentially
responsible party" for certain waste disposal sites. Because each of these
matters is subject to various uncertainties (such as the extent of
contamination, the type of remediation, or other action that may be required),
the Company cannot predict the actual costs it will ultimately incur with
respect to these matters. However, based on the existence of other "potentially
responsible parties" to share in such costs, the volume and type of waste the
Company is believed to have contributed to each site and the period of time over
which environmental costs may be paid, the Company does not believe that
potential liability at these sites will have a material effect on the Company's
liquidity, financial position, or results of operations taken as a whole.
