<PAGE>
Report of Independent Public Accountants
To Herman Miller, Inc.,
Administrator of the Herman Miller, Inc.
Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the HERMAN MILLER, INC. PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLAN (the "Plan") as of May
29, 1999 and May 30, 1998, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements and
the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
May 29, 1999 and May 30, 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets held
for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.
As explained in the notes thereto, the Plan has not presented the schedule of
loans or fixed income obligations. Disclosure of this information, which is not
considered material to the financial statements taken as a whole, is required by
the Department of Labor's Rule and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Herman Miller, Inc. Profit Sharing and
401(k) Plan (the "Plan") are presented in accordance with AICPA Statement
of Position 99-3 "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined
Contribution Benefit Plan Investments and other Disclosure Matters" and
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Investments are stated at
their fair value based upon market quotes, where applicable. Investments
for which a quote is not available are stated at fair value as determined
by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, the Plan's trustee.
Conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts in the Plan's financial statements. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
Under Department of Labor Reporting Regulations, the Plan is required to
include a Schedule of Loans or Fixed Income Obligations. The Plan is
currently unable to comply with these requirements, due to the
unavailability of the required information from the Trustee.
(2) PLAN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
Effective December 1, 1998, the Plan was amended and restated to merge the
assets of four separate defined contribution plans that were previously
maintained by various non-participating affiliate members of the controlled
group into the Plan. The name of the Plan was also changed from the Herman
Miller, Inc. Employee Ownership - Profit Sharing Plan to the Herman Miller,
Inc. Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan. Participation requirements and
employer contributions of the Plan were also amended. The provisions of the
Plan described in Note 3 are those in effect after the amendment and
restatement.
(3) PLAN DESCRIPTION
The Plan, a defined contribution plan, is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The following
description of the major provisions of the Plan is provided for general
information purposes only. Reference should be made to the Plan document
for more complete information.
Company: The "Company" means Herman Miller, Inc. and its participating
affiliates, also referred to herein as the "Employer". The Company is
the Administrator of the Plan.

the fourth plan quarter of each plan year will not exceed six percent
of the compensation of eligible participants for the plan year reduced

eligible participants compensation for the plan year, limited to
