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 June 3, 1995.
FISCAL YEAR
The company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to May 31. Accordingly,
the year ended June 3, 1995, contained 53 weeks, and the year ending June 1,
1996, contains 52 weeks.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In the fiscal year ended June 3, 1995, the company recorded $31.9 million in
pretax restructuring charges, which reduced net income by $20.3 million, or
$.82 per share. A charge of $15.5 million was taken in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995, to account for the closure of certain of the company's
manufacturing and logistics facilities prior to the relocation of their
production activities to other U.S. Herman Miller facilities. In addition, the
charge also included the costs associated with the closure of and
discontinuance of wood casegoods manufacturing in the Sanford, North Carolina,
facility and the transfer of products produced there to Geiger International of
Atlanta, Georgia, a respected contract provider of quality wood casegoods.
The $16.4 million charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 included
charges in the United States for reductions in employment and the
discontinuation of a product development program at the company's healthcare
subsidiary, Milcare.
The $31.9 million total pretax restructuring charge consisted of facilities and
equipment write-offs ($15.5 million), termination benefits ($14.1 million), and
other exit costs associated with the restructuring ($2.3 million).
Approximately 535 employees were terminated or took voluntary early retirement
as a result of the facility closings and job elimination process. The closure
of the manufacturing and logistics facilities was
-6-
<PAGE> 7
substantially complete at the end of fiscal 1995. The job elimination process
was completed in July 1995.
Amounts paid or charged against these reserves during the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 were as follows:

CONTINGENCIES
On January 7, 1992, Haworth, Inc. ("Haworth") filed a lawsuit against the
company, alleging that the electrical systems used in certain of the company's
products infringe one or more of Haworth's patents. Discovery in this
proceeding, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Michigan (Southern Division), is substantially complete. The
company has requested a jury trial; however, no date has been set. Based on the
prevailing facts and the nature of the proceedings, the company believes that
it is more likely than not that the litigation will proceed to trial.
All the patents which are the source of controversy expired prior to December
1, 1994. Since 1991, the company has sold a system of enhanced electrical
components on the majority of its product lines, both by number and dollar
volume. Haworth has admitted the enhanced electrical components do not infringe
the patents in suit. If Haworth were to
-7-
<PAGE> 8
be successful on its claims, the statute of limitations would bar recovery of
any damages arising prior to January 1986. In November 1985, Haworth filed a
lawsuit against Steelcase, Inc., ("Steelcase") the industry's leader in market
share, alleging violations of the same patents, and has prevailed on the issue
of liability. The litigation between Haworth and Steelcase currently is
continuing on the issue of damages. The company's defenses are substantially
different from those relied upon by Steelcase.
The company continues to defend its position vigorously and has established a
reserve of $12.0 million as of September 2, 1995, that management believes will
be adequate to defray the costs of litigation. The company believes, based upon
written opinion of counsel, that its products do not infringe Haworth's patents
and that the company is more likely than not to prevail on the merits.
At this time, management does not expect the ultimate resolution of this matter
to have a material adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial
position. However, the outcome of this matter 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,
which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the company as of September 2, 1995, and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the three months then ended. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the company's financial condition and earnings
during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.
A. Financial Summary
A summary of the period-to-period changes is shown below. It should
be noted that the three months ended September 2, 1995, contained
13 weeks versus the three months ended September 3, 1994, which
contained 14 weeks. All amounts are increases (decreases) unless
otherwise noted. Dollars are shown in thousands.

B. Results of Operations
First Quarter FY 1996 versus First Quarter FY 1995
Net sales increased $40.3 million, or 16.0 percent, for the three
months (13 weeks) ended September 2, 1995, over the first quarter (14
weeks) results a year ago. For the first three months of fiscal 1996,
the company had net sales of $293.2 million, compared with net sales
of $252.8 million in the first three months last year. Net sales of
$293.2 million were the highest ever recorded in the first quarter.
The increase primarily was due to unit volume increases and
acquisitions during the past year.
New orders increased 9.6 percent, to $316.9 million. The backlog of
unfilled orders at September 2, 1995, was $177.9 million, compared
with $151.0 million a year earlier, and $169.8 million at June 3,
1995.
Gross margin decreased to 35.1 percent during the first quarter of
1996, compared to a gross margin of 36.0 percent in the first quarter
of 1995. The decrease from the prior year first quarter is primarily
attributable to increased raw material costs experienced throughout
fiscal 1995.
Operating expenses, as a percent of sales, decreased to 28.4 percent
compared with 30.8 percent in the first quarter of last year. This
improvement is the result of the restructuring implemented in the
fourth quarter of last year which included: early retirement,
employment reductions, and discontinuing noncritical consulting
contracts, coupled with increased net sales. Total operating
expenses increased $5.5 million from $77.8 million in the first
quarter of last year to $83.3 million. Operating expenses attributable
to acquisitions and new ventures were $7.0 million. Additional factors
contributing to the increase were a 3.5 percent year-over-year
increase in compensation and benefits, increased depreciation and
amortization, and costs which are variable with sales.
Interest expense increased $1.1 million over first quarter fiscal
1995. Total interest-bearing debt was $126.9 million at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared with $144.2 million at June 3,
1995, and $86.1 million at September 3, 1994.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter was 36.5 percent compared
with 39.6 percent in the same period of last year. The lower rate is
the result of increased profitability in the UK which has net
operating loss carryforwards to offset pretax income.
Net income increased 51.4 percent to $12.0 million in the first
quarter (13 weeks), compared to $7.9 million for the same period last
year (14 weeks).
-10-
<PAGE> 11
United States net sales were up 10.1 percent for the first quarter,
after being up 16.0 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.
These increases reflect sales of our new seating product lines, and
strong growth in our domestic subsidiaries--Meridian and Phoenix
Designs.
Net sales of international operations and export sales from the United
States in the first quarter ended September 2, 1995, totaled $55.0
million compared with $36.5 million last year. Net loss from the
company's international operations and export sales from the United
States for the first quarter increased $.2 million to a $1.1 million
loss, compared with net loss of $.9 million for the same period last
year.
Net sales from international operations and exports from the United
States increased 50.9 percent over the first quarter of last year.
The first quarter increase primarily was due to a stronger performance
in our core European operations and the inclusion of Herman Miller
Italia, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of last year.
European net sales, including Herman Miller Italia, more than doubled
and new orders increased 84 percent compared to the same period of
last year.
While we have had consistent growth in the net sales of our
international operations, we have not been able to improve the
profitability to an acceptable level. This is due to negative
operating profits in our Mexican and German operations and the cost of
integrating Herman Miller Italia. Poor results in Europe and Mexico
reflect the poor economic conditions existing in those market.
C. Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
First Quarter FY 1996 versus First Quarter FY 1995
1. Cash flow from operating activities increased to $23.1 million
versus $2.8 million in the first quarter of 1995. The $20.3
million increase in cash provided by operating activities was
due to the improved profitability and a reduction in cash used
for working capital items.
2. Days sales in accounts receivable plus days sales in inventory
decreased to 89.2 days versus 91.2 days on June 3, 1995.
3. Total interest-bearing debt decreased to $126.9 million
compared to $144.2 million at June 3, 1995. Debt-to-total
capital now stands at 29.9 percent versus 33.5 percent on June
3, 1995. We expect interest bearing debt to remain in the range
of $125 to $145 million for the remainder of the year.
4. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $11.4 million versus
$11.7 million in the first quarter of 1995. The expenditures
were primarily for new facilities at our fastest growing
subsidiaries and new or improved internal processes. Capital
expenditures for the year are expected to be in the range of
$75 to $80 million.
