Independent Auditors' Report


The Administrative Committee of the Board of Directors
Harman International Industries, Incorporated:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for Plan
benefits of Harman International Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings
Plan as of June 26, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for Plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America.  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 Plan benefits of the Plan
as of June 26, 2000 and 1999 and the changes in net assets available for
Plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes at end of year is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is 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.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility
of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

       HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED
               RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
            Notes to Financial Statements
               June 26, 2000 and 1999



(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Harman International Industries,
Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) have been presented on an
accrual basis and present the net assets available for Plan benefits and
changes in those net assets.

(b)  Investments

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value except for its fully benefit
responsive investment contract which is valued at contract value (note 3).
Shares of registered investment companies and mutual funds are valued at
quoted market prices which represent the net asset value of shares held by the
Plan at year-end.  The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price.
Participant loans are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.

(c)  Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of net assets and the changes in net assets and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Actual
results could differ from these estimates.

(d)  Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

(e)  Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan unless paid by the Sponsor.

(2)  Plan Description

The Plan agreement dated July 1, 1989 amends and restates five preexisting
defined contribution and savings plan agreements for plans which were merged
into the Plan and extends coverage to all eligible nonunion domestic employees
of the Company.  Effective July 1, 1995, the Plan also extends coverage to
hourly collective bargaining unit employees of Harman Motive, Inc.  The Plan is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974 (ERISA).


                                   4


<PAGE>

The Plan is a defined contribution, savings and profit sharing plan sponsored
by the Company.  The Plan covers all eligible employees, as defined by the
Plan, provided they have completed six months of consecutive service, have
worked 500 hours and are at least 21 years of age.  Plan participants should
refer to the Plan agreement for more complete information.

Effective August 28, 1997, AMEK Technology Group, PLC and Oxford
International, Ltd.  were included as participating employers of the Plan.  In
the case of a participant who became an employee as a result of the AMEK
acquisition, 500 hours of service were substituted for 1,000 hours of service
for the Plan year ended June 26, 1998.

(a)  Contributions

Participants in the Plan may contribute on a tax-deferred basis from 1% to
12% of their compensation, as defined by the Plan.  Participants may change
their deferral percentage as of the first payroll period following the
quarterly valuation date.  The Company has made annual basic contributions
equal to 2% of the compensation paid to all eligible participants active
at the end of the Plan year and a matching contribution equal to 50% of the
eligible participant's tax-deferred contribution percentage for each payroll
period up to a maximum election of 6% per payroll period.  In addition, the
Company may make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan in
an amount determined by the Company's Board of Directors.  Company profit
sharing contributions are limited to 15% of the participants' compensation,
less the participants' tax-deferred contributions, the Company basic
contribution and the Company matching contribution.  Total Company and
pretax participant contributions may not exceed 15% of total participants'
compensation.  Total annual additions to a participant's account, exclusive
of adjustments to the fair market value of the participants' fund account,
may not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the participant's compensation.

(b)  Vesting

Participants are 100% vested in their salary deferral contribution, employer's
basic contribution and rollover contribution accounts, and become vested in
profit sharing and matching contributions at the rate of 25% per year after the
completion of three years of service, or 100% after reaching age 65, death or
disability.

(c)  Investment Options

Plan participants direct contributions in any increment in any of the
investment options.  The options consist of the Harman International
Industries, Incorporated Common Stock, the Putnam Stable Value Fund,
Putnam Money Market Fund and eleven mutual funds sponsored by Putnam.

(d)  Participant Account Balances

Separate accounts are maintained for each participant's salary deferral,
rollover, employer profit sharing, basic and matching contribution balances.
Earnings or losses of the Plan are allocated to the participant account
balances by investment fund on a daily basis according to the number of shares
in the participant account balances.  Company profit sharing and basic
contributions are allocated based on participant compensation.  Company
matching contributions are allocated based upon each participant's
tax-deferred contribution percentage.


                                5


<PAGE>

(e)  Participant Loans

The Plan does not allow for any participant loans.  The loans discussed in
note 1 arose from the mergers of related plans and no further loans will be
granted after their repayment is completed.

(f)  Benefits

Upon separation from service, retirement at age 65, disability retirement or
death, participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to receive their vested
balances in a lump sum distribution.  However, participants from prior merged
plans, whose plans allowed distributions of plan benefits to be made in forms
other than lump sum, may elect payment of benefit balances which were
available prior to the mergers.  Contributions made subsequent to the merger
may only be distributed in a lump sum payment.

(g)  Forfeitures

Effective April 15, 1998, all distributions from the Plan shall commence as
soon as practicable after the Participant's termination date, and all unvested
amounts shall be forfeited as of the date of distribution.  Amounts forfeited
by Plan participants are used to reduce the employer contributions.
Forfeitures were $438,122 and $1,171,817 for the years ended June 26,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

Effective April 15, 1998, amounts provisionally forfeited will be restored, if
the participant returns to service prior to the occurrence of a 60 consecutive
month period of separation.

(3)  Investments

Investments (with investments in excess of 5% of net assets separately
identified) at June 26, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

(4)  Federal Income Taxes

On October 23, 1998, the Plan received an updated favorable determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  Although the IRS did not
address certain operational defects, these defects were corrected and a
separate filing was made with the IRS under the Voluntary Compliance
Resolution (VCR) Program.  The VCR filing was approved on November 8,
1999 and will enable the Plan to continue to constitute a qualified Plan
under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the
Trust will continue to be exempt from income tax under Section 501(a)
of the IRC.

(5)  Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974.  Upon Plan termination, all participant accounts
immediately become 100% vested.

(6)  Reconciliation to Form 5500

Included in net assets available for Plan benefits in the accompanying
financial statements is $0 and $1,863,172 at June 26, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, of amounts related to Plan participants and participants who
