NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOOTNOTE DISCLOSURES
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the
company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. The company believes that the disclosures made in this document
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested
that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended May 29, 1993.
FISCAL YEAR
The company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31.
SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
as part of the company's cash management function. Due to the short maturities
of these items, the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Cash payments for income taxes and interest (in thousands) were as follows:

CONTINGENCIES
On January 7, 1992, Haworth, Inc., filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, against Herman Miller,
Inc., alleging that the electrical systems used in certain of the company's
products infringes one or more of Haworth's patents. On December 9, 1992, the
company's motion for change of venue was granted, and the lawsuit was
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan
(Southern Division). The company has received a written opinion from its
patent counsel that such patent counsel do not believe the company has been
selling an infringing product. The litigation is in a preliminary stage, and
the company is defending its position vigorously.
Additionally, there are various other claims and legal proceedings pending
against the company arising from its operations.
At this time, management does not expect these matters to have a material
adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position. However, the
outcome of these matters is not subject to prediction with certainty.
REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
In the opinion of the company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole contain all adjustments,
consisting of only a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly
the financial position of the company as of February 26, 1994, and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

B. Results of Operations
Net sales increased $24.5 million, or 11.3 percent, over third quarter
results a year ago. For the third three months of 1994, the company
had net sales of $241.9 million, compared with net sales of $217.5
million in the third three months last year. For the first nine months
of 1994, the company had net sales of $705.3 million, compared to net
sales of $622.0 million in the first nine months last year.
Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 were the highest
recorded in any first nine-month period in the company's history.
According to the most recent statistics of the Business and
Institutional Furniture Manufacturing Association (BIFMA), United
States office furniture net sales for the latest eight-month period
increased approximately 7 percent over the same period a year ago.
This compares with the company's year-over-year United States net
sales growth rate of 13.8 percent for the first nine months.
Net sales of international operations and export sales from the United
States in the third quarter ended February 26, 1994, totaled $35.5
million compared with $28.3 million last year. For the first nine
months of 1994, net sales of international operations and export sales
from the United States were $101.3 million compared with $91.4 million
last year.
The backlog of unfilled orders at February 26, 1994, was $115.2 million
compared with $126.2 million a year earlier, and $140.7 million at
November 27, 1993.
New orders received in the third quarter were $216.4 million, an
increase of $13.1 million, or 6.5 percent, when compared to the same
period a year ago. New orders for the first nine months were $690.8
million, an increase of $58.8 million, or 9.3 percent, when compared
to the first nine months of fiscal 1993. New orders for both the third
quarter and first nine months were the highest recorded in any same
respective period of the company's history.
While new orders were a company record for any third quarter, the rate
of order increase was lower than any of the previous four quarters.
The third quarter, which contains the year-end holiday period,
historically is marked by slower order formation. However, a solid
order entry rate achieved in December was lowered by unusually severe
weather and other natural disasters in the United States during
January and February. Through March, both selling activity and order
entry are regaining momentum, albeit at slightly lower rates than
achieved earlier in the fiscal year.
Gross margin decreased to 34.8 percent during the third quarter of
1994, compared to a gross margin of 34.9 percent for the same period
last year. The decrease is attributable to lower labor efficiencies.
The gross margin for the first nine months increased to 34.7 percent
of net sales compared with 34.3 percent in the prior year.
-9-
<PAGE> 10
This improvement primarily was attributable to increased volume in
fiscal year 1994, which more effectively utilizes fixed overhead.
Operating expenses, including design and research, were $67.5 million
for the third quarter, an increase of $2.4 million, or 3.7 percent,
over third quarter last year. Operating expenses for the first nine
months of 1994 were $198.0 million, a $7.2 million increase, or 3.8
percent, over the $190.8 million operating expenses for the first nine
months of 1993. As a percent of net sales, operating expenses were
28.1 and 30.7 for the first nine months of the current and prior year,
respectively. The decrease as a percent of net sales directly was
attributable to the increase in net sales as well as a lower fixed
cost structure as a result of the company's ongoing restructuring and
cost reduction efforts.
Interest expense decreased $.1 million over third quarter 1993 and $.6
million for the first nine months of 1994 compared with the first nine
months of 1993. The decrease primarily was a result of reduced long-
and short-term borrowings. Total interest bearing debt was $48.9
million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994, compared with
$49.6 million at February 27, 1993, and $39.9 million at May 29, 1993.
Net other income decreased $.3 million over third quarter 1993. For
the first nine months of 1994, net other income increased $.9 million
to $2.6 million from $1.7 million in the prior year. The increase is
primarily due to interest income.
The effective tax rate was 38.3 percent for the first nine months of
1994, compared with 41.3 percent for the same period last year. The
effective tax rate decreased for the first nine months due to a
reduction in European losses year to date in fiscal 1994 over fiscal
1993.
Net income increased to $11.2 million in the third quarter, compared
to $7.2 million income for the same period last year. Net income for
the first nine months of 1994 was $29.8 million compared to $13.2
million for the same period last year. Net income for the third
quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 1994 was the highest
recorded in any same period during the last four years.
Net loss from the company's international operations and export sales
from the United States for the third quarter decreased to net loss of
$.4 million compared with a net loss of $1.1 million last year. The
first nine months decreased $3.1 million to a $1.2 million loss,
compared with net loss of $4.3 million for the same period last year.
As was the case in the second quarter of fiscal 1994, international
and export sales and results added significantly to the company's
comparative results during the third quarter. European net sales were
even versus a year ago, with lower sales on the Continent offset by
higher sales in the United Kingdom, where the effects of previously
incurred net operating loss carryforwards helped reduce the overall
tax
-10-
<PAGE> 11
rate. In addition, as in the second quarter, an increase in project
business in both the Asia/Pacific and Latin American regions allowed
the company to achieve a significant improvement in net income over
year-ago levels. International net sales for the first nine months
exceeded the $100 million mark for the first time. However, prolonged
sluggish growth in Continental Europe and Japan will continue to
contribute to the uncertainty and volatility of the company's
international results.
On February 8, 1994, the company acquired Herman Miller Righetti S.A.
de C.V. of Mexico. Herman Miller Righetti had been the company's
joint-venture partner in Mexico since 1981. Herman Miller Righetti's
net sales for the last three calendar years (beginning with 1993) were
$31.0 million, $27.1 million, and $19.2 million, respectively. The
acquisition was an all-cash transaction that will neither materially
enhance nor dilute the consolidated results of Herman Miller, Inc.,
for the year ended May 28, 1994.
C. Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
First Nine Months FY 1994 versus First Nine Months FY 1993
Despite the usually expected increased working capital requirements
which normally would accompany record quarterly net sales, cash flow
from operating activities during the third quarter remained a strong
$24.2 million versus $24.3 million in the third quarter of last year.
Days sales in accounts receivable plus days sales in inventory
declined to 80.1 days at February 26, 1994. This compares with 83.0
days at May 29, 1993, and 85.1 days a year ago.
Asset utilization, as measured by the ratio of net sales-to-average
total assets, improved to 1.88 in the first nine months of fiscal 1994
compared with 1.75 in the first nine months of fiscal 1993. Moreover,
nine-month net return-on-sales (ROS), net return-on-average total
assets (ROA), and net return-on-average total equity (ROE) improved to
4.2 percent, 8.0 percent, 13.5 percent, respectively, versus 2.1
percent, 3.7 percent, and 6.4 percent a year ago, respectively.
With strong cash flow and high asset utilization, the company remains
committed to its 2.0 million share repurchase program announced in
January of 1991. During the three months ended February 26, 1994,
193,500 shares were repurchased at an average cost of $27.84 per
share. This brings the total shares repurchased year-to-date through
February 26, 1994, to 258,500 shares at an average cost of $27.16 per
share. Since January 1991, 1.602 million shares have been repurchased
at an average cost of $18.69 per share. The trading range between
January 1, 1991, and February 26, 1994, was $14.75 to $35.00 per
share. All purchases were made in the open market on an unsolicited
basis.
Other than described above, there were no significant changes to the
company's overall financial condition during the first nine months of
fiscal year 1994. The company's planned capital requirements for the
remainder of the fiscal year include
-11-
<PAGE> 12
approximately $10 million of capital expenditures and long-term debt
repayments. Management believes that the company's cash and cash
equivalents, combined with cash generated from operations and, if
necessary, additional available external financing capability, will be
adequate to meet anticipated liquidity needs for operations.
