Segments

Electronic Manufacturing Services

Overview

The Company began producing electronic assemblies, circuit boards, and wiring harnesses for electronic organs and keyboards in 1961 and has since grown and evolved with the EMS industry. The Company's current focus is on electronic assemblies that have high durability, quality, reliabil ity, and regulatory compliance requirements primarily in medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety applications. The Company's business development managers work to build long-term relationships that create value for customers, suppliers, employees and Share Owners, and this quest is supported globally from locations in six countries through prototype, new product development and introduction, supply chain management, test development, complete system assembly, and repair and reverse logistics services.

Electronics and electro-mechanical products (electronic assemblies) are sold globally on a contract basis and produced to customers' specifications. The Company's engineering and manufacturing services primarily entail:

Integrated throughout this segment is customer program management over the life cycle of the product along with supply chain

management, which affords customers the opportunity to focus their attention and resources to sales, marketing, and product development as they sell their unique end products under their brand name into various markets and industries.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit a 35,000 square feet leased assembly operation located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana facility by mid-fiscal year 2012.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company acquired privately-held Genesis Electronics Manufacturing (Genesis) of Tampa, Florida. The acquisition supports the Company's growth and diversification strategy, bringing new customers in the Company's key medical and industrial control markets.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008, the Company approved a plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a European Medical Center of Expertise near Poznan, Poland. As part of the plan, the Company is consolidating its EMS facilities located in Wales, United Kingdom, and Poznan, Poland, into a new larger facility near Poznan, which is expected to improve the Company's margins in the very competitive EMS market. The plan is being executed in stages with a projected completion date of mid-fiscal year 2012.

The Genesis acquisition is discussed in further detail in Note 2 - Acquisition of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities is located in Note 18 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sales revenue of the EMS segment is generally not affected by seasonality with the exception of the buying patterns of automotive industry customers whose purchases of the Company's product are generally lower in the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year. Fiscal year 2011 net sales to automotive industry customers approximated one-fourth of the Company's EMS segment net sales.

Locations

As of June 30, 2011 , the Company's EMS segment consisted of eight manufacturing facilities with one located in each of Indiana, Florida, California, Poland, China, Mexico, Thailand, and Wales, United Kingdom. The facilities located in W ales and California are being consolidated into other facilities with a projected completion by mid-fiscal year 2012. T he Company continually assesses under-utilized capacity and evaluates its operations as to the most optimum capacity and service levels by geographic region. Operations located outside of the United States continue to be an integral part of the Company's EMS segment. See Item 1A - Risk Factors for information regarding financial and operational risks related to the Company's international operations.

Marketing Channels

Manufacturing and engineering services are marketed by the Company's business development team. Contract electronic assemblies are manufactured based on specific orders, generally resulting in a small amount of finished goods consisting primarily of goods awaiting shipment to specific customers.

Major Competitive Factors

Key competitive factors in the EMS market include competitive pricing, quality and reliability, engineering design services, production flexibility, on-time delivery, customer lead time, test capability, and global presence. Growth in the EMS industry is created through the proliferation of electronic components in today's advanced products along with the continuing trend of original equipment manufacturers in the electronics industry to subcontract the assembly process to companies with a core competence in this area. The nature of the EMS industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program becomes established and matures. The segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the electronics subcontracting services market. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs.

The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the EMS segment other than fluctuating inventory levels which may increase in conjunction with transfers of production among facilities and start-up of new programs.  

Competitors

The EMS industry is very competitive as numerous manufacturers compete for business from existing and potential customers. The Company's competition includes EMS companies such as Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Jabil Circuit, Inc., and Plexus

Corp. The Company does not have a significant share of the EMS market and was ranked the 19 th largest global EMS provider for calendar year 2010 by Manufacturing Market Insider in the March 2011 edition.

Raw Material Availability

Raw materials utilized in the manufacture of contract electronic products are generally readily available from both domestic and foreign sources, although from time to time the industry experiences shortages of certain components due to supply and demand forces, combined with rapid product life cycles of certain components. In addition, unforeseen events such as the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan can and have disrupted portions of the supply chain. The Company continues to monitor EMS suppliers who were affected either by physical damage to production facilities or indirect production impacts caused by electricity blackouts or aftershocks. There has been minimal disruption in the supply chain up to this point as the Company has maintained close communication with suppliers.

Raw materials are normally acquired for specific customer orders and may or may not be interchangeable among products. Inherent risks associated with rapid technological changes within this contract industry are mitigated by procuring raw materials, for the most part, based on firm orders. The Company may also purchase additional inventory to support new product introductions and transfers of production between manufacturing facilities.

Customer Concentration

While the total electronic assemblies market has broad applications, the Company's customers are concentrated in the medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety industries. Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The Company's sales to Bayer AG began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. Margins on the Bayer AG product were generally lower than the Company's other EMS products. The nature of the contract business is such that start-up of new customers to replace expiring customers occurs frequently. The Company continues to focus on diversification of the EMS segment customer base.

Furniture

Overview

Since 1950, the Company has produced wood furniture. During fiscal year 2007, the Company ceased manufacturing contract private label products as it increased focus on core markets. These core markets include office furniture sold under the Kimball Office and National brand names and hospitality furniture sold under the Kimball Hospitality brand name. Kimball Office and National provide office furniture solutions for private offices, open floor plan areas, conference rooms, training rooms, lobby, and lounge areas with a vast mix of wood, metal, laminate, paint, and fabric options. Products include desks, credenzas, seating, tables, collaborative workstations, contemporary cubicle systems, filing and storage units, and accessories such as audio visual boards and task lighting. Kimball Office products tend to focus on the more complex customer solutions, and National products are geared more to the mid-market/less complex/lower cost aspect of the office furniture market.  Kimball Hospitality provides furniture solutions for hotel properties, condominiums, and mixed use developments. Products include headboards, desks, tables, dressers, entertainment centers, chests, wall panels, upholstered seating, task seating, and vanities. Also included in this segment are the Company's trucking fleet and customer fulfillment centers, which handle primarily product of this segment; but certain logistics services, such as backhauls, are sold on a contract basis.

Sales revenue of the Furniture segment is generally not affected by seasonality with the exception of certain product lines which are impacted by the buying patterns of customers such as the U.S. Federal Government whose purchases of the Company's product are generally higher in the first half of the Company's fiscal year.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate production of select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation was substantially completed during fiscal year 2009 with the remaining items completed during fiscal year 2010. The consolidation has reduced manufacturing costs and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and employee costs.

Additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities is located in Note 18 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Locations

The Company's furniture products as of June 30, 2011 were primarily produced at eleven plants: seven located in Indiana, two in Kentucky, and one each in Idaho and Virginia. The facility in Virginia was opened during fiscal year 2011 and houses a showroom and production operations to make upholstered seating, headboards, and other products for the Company's custom, program, and catalog offerings for hospitality guest rooms and public spaces. In addition, select finished goods are purchased from external sources. The Company continually assesses manufacturing capacity and has adjusted such capacity in recent years.

In addition, a facility in Indiana houses an education center for dealer and employee training, a research and development center, and a product showroom. Office furniture showrooms are maintained in nine additional cities in the United States. Office space is leased in Dongguan, Guangdong, China, to facilitate sourcing of select finished goods and components from the Asia Pacific Region.

Marketing Channels

Kimball Office and National brands of office furniture are marketed through Company salespersons to end users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and catalog houses throughout North America and on an international basis. Hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturers' representatives.

Major Competitive Factors

The Company's furniture is sold in the office furniture and hospitality furniture industries. These industries have similar major competitive factors which include price in relation to quality and appearance, the utility of the product, supplier lead time, reliability of on-time delivery, and the ability to respond to requests for special and non-standard products. The Company offers payment terms similar to industry standards and in unique circumstances may grant alternate payment terms.

Certain industries are more price sensitive than others, but all expect on-time, damage-free delivery. The Company maintains sufficient finished goods inventories to be able to offer prompt shipment of certain lines of office furniture as well as most of the Company's own lines of hospitality furniture. The Company also produces hospitality furniture to customers' specifications and shipping timelines. Many office furniture products are shipped through the Company's delivery system, which the Company believes offers it the ability to reduce damage to product, enhance scheduling flexibility, and improve the capability for on-time deliveries.

The Company does not believe that it or the industry in general, has any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for understanding the Company's business. The Company does receive advance payments from customers on select furniture projects primarily in the hospitality industry. 

Competitors

There are numerous manufacturers of office and hospitality furniture competing within the marketplace, with a significant number of competitors offering similar products. The Company believes, however, that there are a limited number of relatively large manufacturers of wood office furniture. In many instances wood office furniture competes in the market with nonwood office furniture. Based on available industry statistics, nonwood office furniture has a larger share of the total office furniture market.

The Company's competition includes furniture manufacturers such as Steelcase Inc., Herman Miller, Inc., Knoll, Inc., Haworth, Inc., and HNI Corporation and several other privately-owned furniture manufacturers.

Raw Material Availability

Certain components used in the production of furniture are manufactured internally within the segment and are generally readily available, as are other raw materials used in the production of wood and nonwood furniture. Certain fabricated seating components and wood frame assemblies as well as finished furniture products, which are generally readily available, are sourced on a global scale in an effort to provide quality products at the lowest total cost.

Other Information

Backlog

At June 30, 2011 , the aggregate sales price of production pursuant to worldwide open orders, which may be canceled by the customer, was as follows:

The decline in EMS segment open orders is primarily the result of lower orders from Bayer AG. Substantially all of the open orders as of June 30, 2011 are expected to be filled within the next fiscal year. Open orders may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Research, Patents, and Trademarks

Research and development activities include the development of manufacturing processes, major process improvements, new product development and product redesign, information technology initiatives, and electronic and wood related technologies.

Research and development costs were approximately:

The Company owns the Kimball (registered trademark) trademark, which it believes is significant to the EMS and Furniture segments, and owns the following patents and trademarks which it believes are significant to the Furniture segment only:

Registered Trademarks:  National. Furniture with Personality, Cetra, Traxx, Interworks, Xsite, Definition, Skye, WaveWorks, Senator, Prevail, Eloquence, Hum. Minds at Work, Pura, and Fluent

Trademarks:  President, IntegraClear, Exhibit, Priority, Villa, and Wish

Patents:  Wish, Priority, Xsite, Exhibit (pending), Fluent (pending), and Villa (pending)

The Company also owns other patents and trademarks and has certain other trademark and patent applications pending, which in the Company's opinion are not significant to its business. Patents owned by the Company expire at various times depending on the patent's date of issuance.

Environment and Energy Matters

The Company's operations are subject to various foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations with respect to environmental matters. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with present laws and regulations and that there are no material liabilities related to such items.

The Company is dedicated to excellence, leadership, and stewardship in matters of protecting the environment and communities in which the Company has operations. Reinforcing the Company's commitment to the environment, six of the Company's showrooms and two non-manufacturing locations have been designed under the guidelines of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors program. The Company believes that continued compliance with foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations which have been enacted relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. Management believes capital expenditures for environmental control equipment during the two fiscal years ending June 30, 2013, will not represent a material portion of total capital expenditures during those years.

The Company's manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil. Federal and state statutes and regulations control the allocation of fuels available to the Company, but to date the Company has experienced no interruption of production due to such regulations. In its wood processing plants, a portion of energy requirements are satisfied internally by the use of the Company's own wood waste products.

Employees

All of the Company's foreign operations are subject to collective bargaining arrangements, many mandated by government regulation or customs of the particular countries. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

This document may contain certain forward-looking statements. These are statements made by management, using their best business judgment based upon facts known at the time of the statements or reasonable estimates, about future results, plans, or future performance and business of the Company. Such statements involve risk and uncertainty, and their ultimate validity is affected by a number of factors, both specific and general. They should not be construed as a guarantee that such results or events will, in fact, occur or be realized. The statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "projects," "estimates," "forecasts," and similar expressions. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historical results. Additional information regarding risk factors is available in Item 1A - Risk Factors of this report. The Company makes no commitment to update these factors or to revise any forward-looking statements for events or circumstances occurring after the statement is issued, except as required in current and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC or otherwise by law.

Item 1A - Risk Factors

The following important risk factors, among others, could affect future results and events, causing results and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Such factors, among others, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations and should be carefully considered. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, any such list should not be considered to be a complete statement of all the Company's potential risks or uncertainties. Because of these and other factors, past performance should not be considered an indication of future performance.

Unfavorable macroeconomic and industry conditions could continue to adversely impact demand for the Company's products and adversely affect operating results. Market demand for the Company's products, which impacts revenues and gross profit, is influenced by a variety of economic and industry factors such as:

The Company must make decisions based on order volumes in order to achieve efficiency in manufacturing capacities.  These decisions include determining what level of additional business to accept, production schedules, component procurement commitments, and personnel requirements, among various other considerations. The Company must constantly monitor the changing economic landscape and may modify its strategic direction based upon the changing business environment. If the Company does not react quickly enough to the changes in market or economic conditions, it could result in lost customers, decreased market share, and increased operating costs.

Market conditions have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's operating results. The Company's key strategies remain intact, but it must continue to adjust operations as needed to stay focused on its priorities and to align with the changing market conditions. The Company cannot predict the timing or the duration of any downturn in the economy or the related effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

The Company is exposed to the credit risk of its customers. The current economic conditions and the state of the credit markets drive an elevated risk of potential bankruptcy of customers resulting in a greater risk of uncollectible outstanding accounts receivable. Accordingly, the Company intensely monitors its receivables and related credit risks. The realization of these risks could have a negative impact on the Company's profitability.

Reduction of purchases by or the loss of one or more key customers could reduce revenues and profitability. Losses of key contract customers within specific industries or significant volume reductions from key contract customers are both risks. If a current customer of the Company merges with or is acquired by a party that currently is aligned with a competitor, the Company could lose future revenues. In addition, sales to Bayer AG affiliates accounted for 11% , 15% , and 12% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2011 , 2010 , and 2009 , respectively. The Company's sales to Bayer AG began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. Margins on the Bayer AG product were generally lower than the Company's other EMS products. The continuing success of the Company is dependent upon replacing expiring contract customers/programs with new customers/programs. The nature of the contract electronics manufacturing industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently, and new customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to fully replace any lost sales, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. A reduction of government spending on furniture could also have an adverse impact on the Company's sales levels.

The Company operates in a highly competitive environment and may not be able to compete successfully. The Company faces pricing pressures in both of its segments, especially the EMS segment, as a result of intense competition from large EMS providers, emerging products, and over-capacity. Numerous manufacturers within the EMS industry compete globally for business from existing and potential customers. The office and hospitality furniture industries are also competitive due to numerous global manufacturers competing in the marketplace. In times of reduced demand for office furniture, large competitors may apply more pressure to their aligned distribution to sell their products exclusively which could lead to reduced opportunities for the Company's products. While the Company works toward reducing costs to respond to pricing pressures, if the Company cannot achieve the proportionate reductions in costs, profit margins may suffer.  In addition, as end markets dictate, the Company is continually assessing excess capacity and developing plans to better utilize manufacturing operations, including consolidating and shifting manufacturing capacity to lower cost venues as necessary. The high level of competition in these industries impacts the Company's ability to implement price increases or, in some cases, even maintain prices, which could lower profit margins.

The Company's future operating results depend on the ability to purchase a sufficient amount of materials, parts, and components at competitive prices. The Company depends on suppliers globally to provide timely delivery of materials, parts, and components for use in the Company's products. The financial stability of suppliers is monitored by the Company when feasible as the loss of a significant supplier could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations. Supplier's adjust their capacity as demand fluctuates, and component shortages and/or component allocations could occur. Certain finished products and components purchased by the Company are primarily manufactured in select regions of the world and issues in those regions could cause manufacturing delays. Maintaining strong relationships with key suppliers of components critical to the manufacturing process is essential. Price increases of commodity components could have an adverse impact on profitability if the Company cannot offset such increases with other cost reductions or by price increases to customers. Materials utilized by the Company are generally available, but future availability is unknown and could impact the Company's ability to meet

customer order requirements. If suppliers fail to meet commitments to the Company in terms of price, delivery, or quality, it could interrupt the Company's operations and negatively impact the Company's ability to meet commitments to customers.

The Company's operating results are impacted by the cost of fuel and other energy sources. The cost of energy is a critical component of freight expense and the cost of operating manufacturing facilities. Increases in the cost of energy could reduce profitability of the Company.

The Company could be impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies at certain locations. At times the Company may experience labor or other manufacturing inefficiencies due to factors such as new product introductions, transfers of production among the Company's manufacturing facilities, a sudden decline in sales, a new operating system, or turnover in personnel. Manufacturing inefficiencies could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

A change in the Company's sales mix among various products could have a negative impact on the gross profit margin. Changes in product sales mix could negatively impact the gross margin of the Company as margins of different products vary. The Company strives to improve the margins of all products, but certain products have lower margins in order to price the product competitively or in connection with the start-up of a new program. In addition, the EMS segment has historically operated at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment, and if the sales mix trends toward the EMS segment, the Company's consolidated gross profit margin will be negatively impacted. An increase in the proportion of sales of products with lower margins could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company's restructuring efforts may not be successful.

The Company continually evaluates its manufacturing capabilities and capacities in relation to current and anticipated market conditions. The successful execution of restructuring initiatives is dependent on several factors and may not be accomplished as quickly or effectively as anticipated.

Acquisitions by their nature may present risks to the Company. The Company's sales growth plans may occur through both organic growth and acquisitions. Acquisitions involve many risks, including:

Start-up operations could present risks to the Company's current operations. The Company is committed to growing its business, and therefore from time to time, the Company may determine that it would be in its best interests to start up a new operation. Start-up operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, such as funding the capital expenditures related to the start-up operation, developing a management team for the new operation, diversion of management focus away from current operations, and creation of excess capacity. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 

The Company's international operations involve financial and operational risks. The Company has operations outside the United States, primarily in China, Thailand, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. The Company's international operations are subject to a number of risks, which may include the following:

These risks could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, fluctuations in exchange rates could impact the Company's operating results. The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Any hedging techniques the Company implements contain risks and may not be entirely effective. Exchange rate fluctuations could also make the Company's products more expensive than competitor's products not subject to these fluctuations, which could adversely affect the Company's revenues and profitability in international markets.

If the Company's efforts to introduce new products are not successful, this could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. The Furniture segment regularly introduces new products to keep pace with workplace trends and evolving regulatory and industry requirements, including environmental, health, and safety standards such as ergonomic considerations, and similar standards for the workplace and for product performance. The introduction of new products requires the coordination of the design, manufacturing, and marketing of such products. The design and engineering of certain new products can take nine to eighteen months or more, and further time may be required to achieve customer acceptance. Accordingly, the launch of any particular product may be delayed or be less successful than originally anticipated by the Company. Difficulties or delays in introducing new products or lack of customer acceptance of new products could limit sales growth or cause sales to decline. The EMS segment depends on industries that utilize technologically advanced electronic components which often have short life cycles. The Company must continue to invest in advanced equipment and product development to remain competitive in this area.

If customers do not perceive the Company's products to be innovative and of high quality, the Company's brand and name recognition could suffer. The Company believes that establishing and maintaining brand and name recognition is critical to business. Promotion and enhancement of the Company's brands will depend on the effectiveness of marketing and advertising efforts and on successfully providing innovative and high quality products and superior services. If customers do not perceive its products and services to be innovative and of high quality, the Company's brand and name recognition could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

A loss of independent manufacturing representatives, dealers, or other sales channels could lead to a decline in sales of the Company's Furniture segment products. The Company's office furniture is marketed primarily through Company salespersons to end users, office furniture dealers, wholesalers, rental companies, and catalog houses. The Company's hospitality furniture is marketed to end users using independent manufacturing representatives. A significant loss within any of these sales channels could result in a sales decline and thus have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company must effectively manage working capital. The Company closely monitors inventory and receivable efficiencies and continuously strives to improve these measures of working capital, but customer financial difficulties, cancellation or delay of customer orders, transfers of production among the Company's manufacturing facilities, or Company manufacturing delays could cause deteriorating working capital trends.

The Company's assets could become impaired. As business conditions change, the Company must continually evaluate and work toward the optimum asset base. It is possible that certain assets such as, but not limited to, facilities, equipment, intangible assets, or goodwill could be impaired at some point in the future depending on changing business conditions. If assets of the Company become impaired the result could be an adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). Any changes in estimates, judgments, and assumptions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company's financial statements filed with the SEC are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the preparation of such financial statements includes making estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect

reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and related reserves, revenues, expenses, and income. Estimates are inherently subject to change in the future, and such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets, liabilities, income, or expenses and likewise could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Changes in financial accounting standards may affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is considering various proposed rule changes. The SEC is considering adopting rules that would require U.S. issuers to prepare their financial statements contained in SEC filings in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The implementation of new accounting standards or changes to U.S. GAAP could adversely impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Fluctuations in the Company's effective tax rate could have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The mix of pre-tax income or loss among the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates that have varying tax rates could impact the Company's effective tax rate. The Company is subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes, other tax liabilities, interest, and penalties. Future events could change management's assessment. The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. The Company has also made assumptions about the realization of deferred tax assets. Changes in these assumptions could result in a valuation allowance for these assets. Final determination of tax audits or tax disputes may be different from what is currently reflected by the Company's income tax provisions and accruals.

A failure to comply with the financial covenants under the Company's $100 million credit facility could adversely impact the Company. The Company's credit facility requires the Company to comply with certain financial covenants. The Company believes the most significant covenants under its credit facility are minimum net worth and interest coverage ratio. More detail on these financial covenants is discussed in Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations . As of June 30, 2011 , the Company had no short-term borrowings under its credit facilities and had total cash and cash equivalents of $51.4 million . In the future, a default on the financial covenants under the Company's credit facility could cause an increase in the borrowing rates or could make it more difficult for the Company to secure future financing which could adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.

A failure to successfully implement information technology solutions could adversely affect the Company. The Company's business depends on effective information technology systems. Information systems require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain and enhance existing systems and develop new systems in order to keep pace with changes in information processing technology and evolving industry standards. Implementation delays or poor execution of information technology systems could disrupt the Company's operations and increase costs.

An inability to protect the Company's intellectual property could have a significant impact on business. The Company attempts to protect its intellectual property rights, both in the United States and in foreign countries, through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party non-disclosure and assignment agreements. Because of the differences in foreign laws concerning proprietary rights, the Company's intellectual property rights do not generally receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as they do in the United States, and therefore in some parts of the world, the Company has limited protections, if any, for its intellectual property. Competing effectively depends, to a significant extent, on maintaining the proprietary nature of the Company's intellectual property. The degree of protection offered by the claims of the various patents and trademarks may not be broad enough to provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantages to the Company, and patents or trademarks may not be issued on pending or contemplated applications. In addition, not all of the Company's products are covered by patents. It is also possible that the Company's patents and trademarks may be challenged, invalidated, canceled, narrowed, or circumvented.

A third party could claim that the Company has infringed on their intellectual property rights. The Company could be notified of a claim regarding intellectual property rights which could lead to the Company spending time and money to defend or address the claim. Even if the claim is without merit, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

The Company's insurance may not adequately protect the Company from liabilities related to product defects. The Company maintains product liability and other insurance coverage that the Company believes to be generally in accordance with industry practices. However, its insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the Company fully against substantial claims and costs that may arise from liabilities related to product defects, particularly if the Company has a large number of defective products or if the root cause is disputed.

The Company's failure to maintain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registration of one or more of its registered manufacturing facilities could negatively impact the Company's ability to produce products for its customers in the medical industry.  To maintain FDA registration, the Company is subject to FDA audits of the manufacturing process. FDA

audit failure could result in a partial or total suspension of production, fines, or criminal prosecution. Failure or noncompliance could have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation in addition to an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company is subject to extensive environmental regulation and significant potential environmental liabilities. The past and present operation and ownership by the Company of manufacturing plants and real property are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to discharges in air, water, and land, the handling and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances. In addition, the increased prevalence of global climate issues may result in new regulations that may negatively impact the Company. The Company cannot predict what environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted in the future, how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted or what environmental conditions may be found to exist. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures by the Company, some of which could be material. In addition, any investigations or remedial efforts relating to environmental matters could involve material costs or otherwise result in material liabilities.

The Company's failure to retain the existing management team; maintain its engineering, technical, and manufacturing process expertise; and continue to attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company's business. The success of the Company is dependent on keeping pace with technological advancements and adapting services to provide manufacturing capabilities which meet customers' changing needs. In addition, the Company must retain its qualified engineering and technical personnel and successfully anticipate and respond to technological changes in a cost effective and timely manner. The Company's culture and guiding principles focus on continuous training, motivating, and development of employees, and it strives to attract, motivate, and retain qualified personnel. Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could adversely affect the Company's business.

Turnover in personnel could cause manufacturing inefficiencies. The demand for manufacturing labor in certain geographic areas makes retaining experienced production employees difficult. Turnover could result in additional training and inefficiencies that could impact the Company's operating results.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may impact the Company's production schedules and, in turn, negatively impact profitability. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, including severe weather, terrorist attacks, power interruptions, and fires, could disrupt operations and likewise the ability to produce or deliver the Company's products.  The Company's manufacturing operations require significant amounts of energy, including natural gas and oil, and governmental regulations may control the allocation of such fuels to the Company.  Employees are an integral part of the Company's business and events such as a pandemic could reduce the availability of employees reporting for work. In the event the Company experiences a temporary or permanent interruption in its ability to produce or deliver product, revenues could be reduced, and business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, catastrophic events, or the threat thereof, can adversely affect U.S. and world economies, and could result in delayed or lost sales of the Company's products. In addition, any continuing disruption in the Company's computer system could adversely affect the ability to receive and process customer orders, manufacture products, and ship products on a timely basis, and could adversely affect relations with customers, potentially resulting in reduction in orders from customers or loss of customers. The Company maintains insurance to help protect the Company from costs relating to some of these matters, but such may not be sufficient or paid in a timely manner to the Company in the event of such an interruption.

The Company does not have operations located in Japan and thus has had no production facilities directly impacted by the effects of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The Company continues to monitor EMS customers and suppliers who were affected either by physical damage to production facilities or indirect production impacts caused by electricity blackouts or aftershocks. There has been minimal disruption in the supply chain up to this point, but customers could still be impacted with part shortages unrelated to electronic components, and their production schedule reductions could cause the Company to have delayed or canceled orders. The Company has maintained close communications with customers and suppliers and notified them, where appropriate, of force majeure conditions which may impact the Company's performance.

The requirements of being a public company may strain the Company's resources and distract management. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Among other requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the Company maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. The Company has, and expects to continue to, expend management time and resources maintaining documentation and testing internal control over financial reporting. While management's evaluation as of June 30, 2011 resulted in the conclusion that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of that date, the Company cannot predict the outcome of testing in future periods. If the Company concludes in future periods that its internal control over financial reporting is not effective, or if its independent registered public accounting firm is not able to render the required attestations, it could result in lost investor confidence in the accuracy, reliability, and completeness of the Company's financial reports.

Imposition of government regulations may significantly increase the Company's operating costs in the United States. The federal government has a broad agenda of potential legislative and regulatory reforms, which if enacted, could significantly impact the profitability of the Company by burdening it with forced cost choices that cannot be recovered by increased pricing.

The value of the Company's common stock may experience substantial fluctuations for reasons over which the Company has little control. The value of common stock could fluctuate substantially based on a variety of factors, including, among others:

Furthermore, stock prices for many companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations, coupled with changes in results of operations and general economic, political, and market conditions, may adversely affect the value of the Company's common stock.

Item 1B - Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 2 - Properties

The location and number of the Company's major manufacturing, warehousing, and service facilities, including the executive and administrative offices, as of June 30, 2011 , are as follows:

The listed facilities occupy approximately 4,949,000 square feet in aggregate, of which approximately 4,733,000 square feet are owned and 216,000 square feet are leased. Square footage of these facilities is summarized by segment as follows:  

Within the EMS segment, the Company plans to exit the United Kingdom facility in fiscal year 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company is no longer leasing back the Poland facility that was sold during fiscal year 2010.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit the small leased EMS assembly facility located in California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Indiana EMS facility by mid-fiscal year 2012.

During fiscal year 2011, the Company opened a leased facility in Virginia which houses hospitality furniture production and a showroom.

Included in Unallocated Corporate are executive, national sales and administrative offices, and a recycling facility. 

Generally, properties are utilized at normal capacity levels on a multiple shift basis. At times, certain facilities utilize a reduced second or third shift. Due to sales fluctuations, not all facilities were utilized at normal capacity during fiscal year 2011 .

Significant loss of income resulting from a facility catastrophe would be partially offset by business interruption insurance coverage.

Operating leases for all facilities and related land, including ten leased office furniture showroom facilities which are not

included in the tables above, total 302,000 square feet and expire from fiscal year 2012 to 2056 with many of the leases subject to renewal options. The leased showroom facilities are in six states and the District of Columbia. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning leases.

The Company owns approximately 500 acres of land which includes land where various Company facilities reside, including approximately 180 acres of land in the Kimball Industrial Park, Jasper, Indiana (a site for certain production and other facilities, and for possible future expansions).

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings

The Registrant and its subsidiaries are not parties to any pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business. The outcome of current routine pending litigation, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

Kimball International, Inc. provides a variety of products from its two business segments: the Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) segment and the Furniture segment. The EMS segment provides engineering and manufacturing services which utilize common production and support capabilities globally to the medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety industries. The Furniture segment provides furniture for the office and hospitality industries, sold under the Company's family of brand names.

Overall market conditions in the EMS industry continue to be favorable. As reported in the July 2011 Manufacturing Market Insider (MMI) publication, an EMS industry sales projection (by New Venture research) shows forecasted growth for calendar year 2011 of 8.8% compared to calendar year 2010 . In addition in June 2011, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) endorsed a forecast of 5.4% growth of semiconductor sales for calendar year 2011 , and although the Company does not directly serve this market, it may be indicative of increased end market demand for products utilizing electronic components.

In the EMS segment, the Company focuses on the four key vertical markets of medical, automotive, industrial control, and public safety. Demand in the medical and industrial control markets are showing signs of strength. Automotive activity was mixed as true end market demand was somewhat masked by reduced vehicle production and lower dealer inventories caused by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The public safety market remains stable. Sales to customers in the medical industry are the largest portion of the Company's EMS segment with sales to customers in the automotive industry being the second largest of the four vertical markets. The Company's sales to customers in the automotive industry are diversified among more than ten domestic and foreign customers and represented approximately one-fourth of the EMS segment's net sales for fiscal year 2011 .

The office furniture and hospitality furniture markets continue to show signs of improvement. As of May 2011, the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (BIFMA) projected a 16% year-over-year increase in the office furniture industry for calendar year 2011 compared to the 7% increase in calendar year 2010 and the 29% decrease in calendar year 2009. BIFMA projects office furniture industry growth of approximately 10% in calendar year 2012 which would bring the industry closer to pre-recession levels. In addition, the hotel industry forecasts (reported by Smith Travel Research and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP) project occupancy rates to increase approximately 4% in calendar year 2011 after a 6% increase in calendar year 2010 and a 9% industry decline in calendar year 2009 and project revenue per available room to increase 7% for calendar year 2011 after a 5% increase in calendar year 2010 and a 17% industry decline in calendar year 2009.

Competitive pricing pressures within both the EMS segment and the Furniture segment continue to put a strain on the Company's operating margins.

The Company is committed to ensuring it sustains the cost efficiencies and process improvements undertaken during the recession. In addition, a long-standing component of the Company's profit sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to the performance of the Company which automatically lowers total compensation expense when profits are down and likewise increases total compensation expense when profits are up. The focus on cost control continues. At the same time, the Company has continued making prudent investments in product development, technology, and marketing and business development initiatives to drive profitable growth. The Company also continues to closely monitor market changes and its liquidity in order to proactively adjust its operating costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed.

The Company continued to maintain a strong balance sheet as of the end of fiscal year 2011 , which included minimal long-term debt of $0.3 million and Share Owners' equity of $387.4 million . The Company's short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of the Company's revolving credit facility, was $146.2 million at June 30, 2011 .

In addition to the above risks related to the current market conditions, management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding the Company's financial condition and operating performance:

Certain preceding statements could be considered forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, a significant change in economic conditions, loss of key customers or suppliers, or similar unforeseen events.

Fiscal Year 2011 Results of Operations

Financial Overview - Consolidated

Fiscal year 2011 consolidated net sales were $1.20 billion compared to fiscal year 2010 net sales of $1.12 billion , a 7% increase, resulting from a 16% net sales increase in the Furniture segment and a 2% net sales increase in the EMS segment. Fiscal year 2011 net income was $4.9 million , or $0.14 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $0.6 million , or $0.01 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The Company recorded net income for fiscal year 2010 of $10.8 million , or $0.29 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $1.2 million , or $0.03 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal year 2010 results also included the following items: a $7.7 million after-tax gain, or $0.20 per Class B diluted share, related to the sale of a facility and land in Poland, and $2.0 million of after-tax income, or $0.05 per Class B diluted share, resulting from settlement proceeds related to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member.

Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales improved to 16.2% for fiscal year 2011 from 15.7% in fiscal year 2010 primarily due to a shift in sales mix (as depicted in the table below) toward the Furniture segment which operates at a higher gross profit percentage than the EMS segment. Gross profit is discussed in more detail in the segment discussions below.

Fiscal year 2011 consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased 5.2% in absolute dollars, but decreased as a percent of net sales, compared to fiscal year 2010, on increased operating leverage as a result of the increase in revenue. The increase in absolute dollars was primarily due to higher commissions in the Furniture segment resulting from the higher sales volumes and higher labor costs which were partially offset by lower severance expense. In addition, the Company recorded $3.1 million of expense within selling and administrative expenses due to an increase in its Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) liability resulting from the normal revaluation of the liability to fair value during fiscal year 2011 compared to $1.5 million of expense which was recorded in fiscal year 2010. The value of the SERP investments increased causing additional selling and administrative expense related to the SERP liability. The SERP expense recorded in selling and administrative expenses was exactly offset by an increase in SERP investment income which was recorded in Other Income (Expense) as an investment gain; therefore, there was no effect on net earnings. Employee contributions comprise approximately 90% of the SERP investment.

The Company recorded no Other General Income during fiscal year 2011. Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included $6.7 million pre-tax gain recorded in the EMS segment related to the sale of the Company's land and facility that housed its Poland operation before moving to another facility in Poland. In addition, fiscal year 2010 Other General Income included $3.3 million of pre-tax income also recorded in the EMS segment resulting from settlement proceeds related to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member.

Other Income (Expense) included other income of $2.0 million for fiscal year 2011 compared to other income of $3.3 million for fiscal year 2010 . The variance in other income was driven by unfavorable foreign exchange movement that impacts the EMS segment and a $1.2 million impairment loss related to the valuation of convertible notes which were partially offset by the increased SERP investment income mentioned above and a revaluation of stock warrants resulting in a gain of $1.0 million.

The fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate was (10.9)% as relatively low pre-tax income coupled with the favorable impact of the Company's earnings mix and the research and development credit resulted in a tax benefit despite the Company's pre-tax income. The mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions largely contributed to the overall tax benefit due to losses in the U.S. which have a higher statutory tax rate than the Company's foreign operations which were profitable in fiscal year 2011. The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate was (81.0)% as relatively low pre-tax income coupled with a tax benefit due to the Company's tax planning strategy related to the sale of its Poland facility and land and the favorable impact of the Company's earnings mix resulted in a tax benefit in fiscal year 2010 despite the Company's pre-tax income. See Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Comparing the balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2010 , the increase in property and equipment was a result of the Company's purchase of machinery and equipment, primarily within the EMS segment. The Company's accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable balances declined in relation to lower sales levels toward the end of fiscal year 2011 within the EMS segment as the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG expired. The increased accrued expenses balance was comprised of increased accrued compensation, higher accrued selling expenses within the Furniture segment, and the reclassification of accrued restructuring from long-term to short-term as completion of the European consolidation plan is expected during the next fiscal year. The Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) balance increase was primarily the result of positive foreign currency translation adjustments. See Note 17 - Comprehensive Income of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment

EMS segment results follow:

Fiscal year 2011 EMS segment net sales to customers in the medical, industrial control, and public safety industries increased compared to fiscal year 2010 which more than offset a decrease in net sales to customers in the automotive industry. While open orders were down 17% as of June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010 primarily due to lower orders from Bayer AG, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends due to the contract nature of the Company's business.

Fiscal year 2011 EMS segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.2 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2010 . The improvement was primarily driven by the benefit from a sales mix shift toward higher margin product, lower depreciation expense, and improved labor efficiencies at select units which more than offset inefficiencies related to the European restructuring activities and higher component costs related to the rapid ramp up of new customer programs.

EMS segment selling and administrative expenses in absolute dollars increased 7% in fiscal year 2011 as compared to fiscal year 2010 and also increased as a percent of net sales primarily due to increased salaries and employee benefit costs.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company approved a plan to exit the small assembly facility located in Fremont, California. A majority of the business will be transferred to an existing Jasper, Indiana facility by mid-fiscal year 2012. The pre-tax restructuring charges related to the Fremont restructuring plan recorded during fiscal year 2011 totaled $0.3 million. As the Company continues to execute its plan to expand its European automotive electronics capabilities and to establish a Europea n Medical Center of Expertise near Poznan, Poland, the consolidation of its EMS facilities has a final completion target of mid-fiscal year 2012. The consolidation is expected to improve the Company's margins in the very competitive EMS market. The pre-tax restructuring charges recorded during fiscal year 2011 totaled $0.9 million , but the EMS segment also is experiencing inefficiencies related to the consolidation of the facilities. See Note 18 - Restructuring Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on restructuring charges. The restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal year 2010 were primarily related to the European consolidation plan.

The EMS segment recorded no Other General Income during fiscal year 2011 . EMS segment Other General Income for fiscal year 2010 included a $6.7 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the existing Poland facility and land. Including the tax benefit related to the sale of this facility and land, the after-tax gain was $7.7 million . In addition, Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included $3.3 million of pre-tax income, or $2.0 million after-tax, resulting from settlement proceeds related to the antitrust class action lawsuit.

EMS segment Other Income/Expense for fiscal year 2011 totaled expense of $1.9 million , compared to income of $0.1 million in fiscal year 2010 . The variance in Other Income/Expense was primarily related to unfavorable foreign currency exchange movement in fiscal year 2011.

As a percent of net sales, operating income was 0.8% for fiscal year 2011 and 2.2% for fiscal year 2010 . Fiscal year 2010 operating income included the gain on the sale of the Poland facility and land and also included the settlement from the class action lawsuit.

The EMS segment fiscal year 2011 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the earnings mix between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. During fiscal year 2010, the EMS segment recorded $1.0 million of tax income related to the sale of the facility and land in Poland instead of tax expense normally associated with a gain, resulting from a tax planning strategy. The fiscal year 2010 EMS segment income tax was also favorably impacted by the mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign EMS operations.

Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

The Company's sales to Bayer AG began to decline in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 due to the expiration of the Company's primary manufacturing contract with Bayer AG.  This contract accounted for a majority of the sales to Bayer AG during fiscal year 2011. Margins on the Bayer AG product were generally lower than the Company's other EMS products. The nature of the electronic manufacturing services industry is such that the start-up of new customers and new programs to replace expiring programs occurs frequently. New customer and program start-ups generally cause losses early in the life of a program, which are generally recovered as the program becomes established and matures. This segment continues to experience margin pressures related to an overall excess capacity position in the electronics subcontracting services market.

Risk factors within the EMS segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market condition s, disruption to the supply chain and customer production schedules due to the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, cus tomer order delays, increased globalization, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, rapid technological changes, component availability, supplier stability, the contract nature of this industry, unexpected integration issues with acquisitions, the concentration of sales to large customers, and the potential for customers to choose to in-source a greater portion of their electronics manufacturing. The continuing success of this segment is dependent upon its ability to replace expiring customers/programs with new customers/programs.

Furniture Segment

Furniture segment results follow:

The fiscal year 2011 net sales increase in the Furniture segment compared to fiscal year 2010 resulted primarily from increased net sales of office furniture and to a lesser extent from increased net sales of hospitality furniture. The increase in office furniture sales was the result of higher sales volumes which were partially offset by higher discounting net of price increases. Fiscal year 2011 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which have been sold for less than twelve months approximated $17.1 million . Open orders of furniture products at June 30, 2011 increased 28% from the orders open as of June 30, 2010 as open orders for both office furniture and hospitality furniture increased. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Fiscal year 2011 Furniture segment gross profit as a percent of net sales declined 0.7 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2010 . Items contributing to the decline included increased discounting resulting from competitive pricing pressures and inflationary commodity cost increases. The gross profit decline was partially offset by price increases on select product and the increased operating leverage of the higher sales volumes.

Fiscal year 2011 selling and administrative expenses increased in absolute dollars by 4.1% , but decreased as a percent of net sales on the higher sales volumes, when compared to fiscal year 2010 . The selling and administrative expenses were impacted by higher commissions resulting from the higher net sales, higher profit-based incentive compensation costs, and higher costs associated with sales and marketing initiatives to drive growth, which were partially offset by lower severance expense.

As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was 0.2% for fiscal year 2011 and (2.3)% for fiscal year 2010 .

Risk factors within this segment include, but are not limited to, general economic and market conditions, increased global competition, financial stability of customers, supply chain cost pressures, and relationships with strategic customers and product distributors. Additional risk factors that could have an effect on the Company's performance are located within Item 1A - Risk Factors .

Fiscal Year 2010 Results of Operations

Financial Overview - Consolidated

Fiscal year 2010 consolidated net sales were $1.12 billion compared to fiscal year 2009 net sales of $1.21 billion, a 7% decrease, due to a 27% net sales decrease in the Furniture segment, which more than offset a 10% net sales increase in the EMS segment. Fiscal year 2010 net income was $10.8 million, or $0.29 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of $1.2 million, or $0.03 per Class B diluted share, of after-tax restructuring costs primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal year 2010 results also included the following items: a $7.7 million after-tax gain, or $0.20 per Class B diluted share, related to the sale of the facility and land in Poland, and $2.0 million of after-tax income, or $0.05 per Class B diluted share, resulting from settlement proceeds related to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member. The Company recorded net income for fiscal year 2009 of $17.3 million, or $0.47 per Class B diluted share, inclusive of after-tax restructuring charges of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per Class B diluted share, primarily related to the European consolidation plan. The fiscal year 2009 results also included the following items: an $18.9 million after-tax gain, or $0.51 per Class B diluted share, related to the sale of the Company's undeveloped land holdings and timberlands; a $9.1 million after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge, or $0.24 per Class B diluted share; and $1.6 million of after-tax income, or $0.04 per Class B diluted share, for earnest money deposits retained by the Company resulting from the termination of a contract to sell the Company's Poland facility and land.

Consolidated gross profit as a percent of net sales declined to 15.7% for fiscal year 2010 from 16.8% in fiscal year 2009 due to a shift in sales mix (as depicted in the table below) toward the EMS segment which operates at a lower gross profit percentage than the Furniture segment. The EMS segment and Furniture segment gross profit as a percent of net sales both improved in

fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009. Gross profit is discussed in more detail in the segment discussions below.

Fiscal year 2010 consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased slightly as a percent of net sales compared to fiscal year 2009, due to sales volumes declining at a quicker rate than the selling and administrative expenses. Consolidated selling and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2010 declined in absolute dollars by 6% compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily due to decreased labor expense, lower bad debt expense, lower depreciation and amortization expense, and other comprehensive cost reduction efforts throughout the Company. Partially offsetting these reductions, the Company experienced increased employee benefit costs primarily related to the reinstatement of the Company's retirement plan contribution, increased advertising and marketing costs, and increased incentive compensation costs at select business units during fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009.

In addition, in fiscal year 2010, the Company recorded $1.5 million of expense compared to $2.8 million of income in fiscal year 2009 related to the normal revaluation to fair value of its Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP) liability. The result was an unfavorable variance in selling and administrative expenses of $4.3 million. As the general equity markets improved, the value of the SERP investments increased, causing additional selling and administrative expense related to the SERP liability. The SERP expense recorded in selling and administrative expenses was exactly offset by an increase in SERP investment income which was recorded in Other Income (Expense) as an investment gain; therefore, there was no effect on net earnings. The SERP investment is comprised of approximately 90% employee contributions.

Fiscal year 2010 Other General Income included a $6.7 million pre-tax gain within the EMS segment related to the sale of the facility and land in Poland. Fiscal year 2010 Other General Income also included $3.3 million of pre-tax income recorded in the EMS segment resulting from settlement proceeds related to an antitrust class action lawsuit of which the Company was a class member. The class action alleged the defendant sellers illegally conspired to fix prices for electronic components purchased by a business unit within the EMS segment. Other General Income in fiscal year 2009 included a $31.5 million pre-tax gain on the sale of undeveloped land holdings and timberlands. The gain on the sale of land holdings and timberlands was included in Unallocated Corporate in segment reporting. In addition, during fiscal year 2009, the Company had a conditional agreement to sell and lease back the facility that housed its Poland operations. However, the buyer was unable to close the transaction within the terms of the agreement. As a result, the Company was entitled to retain approximately $1.9 million of the deposit funds held by the Company which was recorded as pre-tax income in Other General Income in the EMS segment. 

In fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charges of $14.6 million as a result of interim goodwill impairment testing which was completed due to the uncertainty associated with the economy and the significant decline in the Company's sales and order trends during fiscal year 2009 as well as the increased disparity between the Company's market capitalization and the carrying value of its Share Owners' equity. The goodwill was related to prior acquisitions in both of the Company's segments. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on goodwill.

Other Income (Expense) included other income of $3.3 million for fiscal year 2010 compared to other expense of $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009. The $4.3 million favorable variance in SERP investments was the primary driver of the increased other income for fiscal year 2010. Interest expense for fiscal year 2010 was lower than fiscal year 2009 due to lower average outstanding debt balances coupled with lower interest rates. Interest income was likewise lower for fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 due to lower interest rates and lower average investment balances.

The fiscal year 2010 effective tax rate was (81.0)% compared to the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2009 of 31.6%. Relatively low pre-tax income coupled with a tax benefit due to the Company's tax planning strategy related to the sale of its Poland facility and land and the favorable impact of the Company's earnings mix resulted in a tax benefit in fiscal year 2010 despite the Company's pre-tax income. The mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions largely contributed to the overall tax benefit due to losses in the U.S. which have a higher statutory tax rate than the Company's foreign operations which were profitable in fiscal year 2010. In fiscal year 2009, the Company's foreign operations experienced losses while income was generated in the U.S. See Note 9 - Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Electronic Manufacturing Services Segment

EMS segment results follow:

Fiscal year 2010 EMS segment net sales to customers in the automotive, medical, industrial control, and public safety industries all increased compared to fiscal year 2009. While open orders were up 27% as of June 30, 2010 compared to June 30, 2009, open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends due to the contract nature of the Company's business.

Fiscal year 2010 EMS segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 1.5 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2009. The improvement was primarily driven by labor efficiency improvements and fixed cost leverage associated with the increased sales.

EMS segment selling and administrative expenses in absolute dollars decreased 1% in fiscal year 2010 as compared to fiscal year 2009 and also declined as a percent of net sales in fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 primarily because of the higher sales volumes. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2010 compared to fiscal year 2009 was primarily related to a decrease in overall salary expense, benefits realized from restructuring actions, lower depreciation/amortization expense, and other overall cost reduction efforts which were partially offset by higher incentive compensation costs.

EMS segment Other General Income for fiscal year 2010 included a $6.7 million pre-tax gain from the sale of the existing Poland facility and land. Including the tax benefit related to the sale of this facility and land, the after-tax gain was $7.7 million. In addition, Other General Income in fiscal year 2010 included $3.3 million of pre-tax income, or $2.0 million after-tax, resulting from settlement proceeds related to the antitrust class action lawsuit. EMS segment Other General Income for fiscal year 2009 included the $1.9 million pre-tax, or $1.6 million after-tax, amount retained by the Company resulting from the termination of a contract to sell the Company's Poland facility and land.

The restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were primarily related to the European consolidation plan.

The fiscal year 2009 EMS segment earnings were also impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment of $12.8 million, or $8.0 million after-tax.

As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was 2.2% for fiscal year 2010 and (3.4)% for fiscal year 2009.

During fiscal year 2010, the EMS segment recorded $1.0 million of tax income related to the sale of the facility and land in Poland instead of tax expense normally associated with a gain, as a result of a tax planning strategy. The fiscal year 2010 EMS segment income tax was also favorably impacted by the mix of earnings between U.S. and foreign EMS operations. The fiscal year 2009 EMS effective income tax rate was favorably impacted by a tax benefit related to its European operations which was primarily offset by the impact of losses in select foreign jurisdictions which have a lower tax rate.

Included in this segment are a significant amount of sales to Bayer AG affiliates which accounted for the following portions of consolidated net sales and EMS segment net sales:

Furniture Segment

Furniture segment results follow:

The fiscal year 2010 net sales decline in the Furniture segment compared to fiscal year 2009 resulted from decreased net sales of both office furniture and hospitality furniture. The decline in office furniture sales was primarily due to decreased sales volumes, with higher discounting net of price increases contributing to a lesser extent. Fiscal year 2010 sales of newly introduced office furniture products which had been sold for less than twelve months approximated $20.9 million. Open orders of furniture products at June 30, 2010 approximated the open orders levels as of June 30, 2009 as increased open orders for office furniture were primarily offset by decreased orders for hospitality furniture. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.

Fiscal year 2010 Furniture segment gross profit as a percent of net sales improved 0.3 percentage points when compared to fiscal year 2009. Items contributing to the improved gross profit as a percent of net sales included: price increases on select product, lower commodity costs, a sales mix shift to higher margin product, lower employee benefit costs, and other overall cost reduction efforts. These improvements more than offset the negative impact of the lower absorption of fixed costs associated with the lower net sales, increased discounting resulting from competitive pricing pressures, and increased costs related to the reinstatement of the Company's retirement plan contribution for fiscal year 2010. Due to the significant decline in sales volume, the fiscal year 2010 gross profit dollars declined as compared to fiscal year 2009.

Fiscal year 2010 selling and administrative expenses decreased in absolute dollars by 11%, but increased as a percent of net sales on the lower sales volumes, when compared to fiscal year 2009. The fiscal year 2010 selling and administrative expense decline resulted from lower overall salary expense realized from past restructurings and the salary reduction plan implemented by the Company in fiscal year 2009, lower commission costs related to the lower sales volumes, lower bad debt expense, and other improvements resulting from the focus on managing all costs. Partially offsetting the lower costs were higher advertising and product marketing expenses, increased costs related to the reinstatement of the Company's retirement plan contribution, and higher severance costs due to scaling operations.

The Furniture segment earnings for fiscal year 2009 were impacted by the recording of non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment of $1.8 million, which equated to $1.1 million after-tax.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company approved a restructuring plan to consolidate production of select office furniture manufacturing departments. The consolidation reduced manufacturing costs and excess capacity by eliminating redundant property and equipment, processes, and employee costs. Most of the consolidation activities occurred during fiscal year 2009, and the remaining activities were completed during fiscal year 2010.

As a percent of net sales, operating income (loss) was (2.3)% for fiscal year 2010 and 2.4% for fiscal year 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2011 was $178.0 million compared to working capital of $180.0 million at June 30, 2010 . The current ratio was 1.8 at both June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 .

The Company's internal measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), for fiscal year 2011 of 48.5 days was comparable to the 47.8 days for fiscal year 2010 . The Company defines DSO as the average of monthly accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day's net sales. The Company's Production Days Supply on Hand (PDSOH) of inventory measure for fiscal year 2011 increased to 64.4 days from 63.0 days for fiscal year 2010 . The Company defines PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by an average day's cost of sales.

The Company's short-term liquidity available, represented as cash and cash equivalents plus the unused amount of the Company's revolving credit facility, totaled $146.2 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $161.1 million at June 30, 2010 .

The Company's cash and cash equivalents position decreased from $65.3 million at June 30, 2010 to $51.4 million at June 30, 2011 . The Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010 . Operating activities generated $21.3 million of cash flow in fiscal year 2011 compared to the $13.4 million of cash generated by operating activities in fiscal year 2010 . During fiscal year 2011 , the Company reinvested $33.2 million into capital investments for the future, primarily for manufacturing equipment in the EMS segment. The Company also paid $7.3 million of dividends in fiscal year 2011. Consistent with the Company's historical dividend policy, the Company's Board of Directors will evaluate the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. During fiscal year 2012, the Company expects to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projec ts including potential acquisitions tha t would enhance the Company's capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability as the economy and the Company's markets recover.

At June 30, 2011 , the Company had no short-term borrowings outstanding under its $100 million credit facility described in more detail below. The Company also has several smaller foreign credit facilities available described in more detail below and likewise had no borrowings outstanding under these facilities as of June 30, 2011 or June 30, 2010 .

At June 30, 2011 , the Company had $5.2 million committed in letters of credit against the $100 million credit facility. Total availability to borrow under the $100 million credit facility was $94.8 million at June 30, 2011 .

The Company maintains the $100 million credit facility with an expiration date in April 2013 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. The $100 million credit facility provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $150 million at the Company's request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. The $100 million credit facility, upon which there were no borrowings at June 30, 2011 , requires the Company to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the interest coverage ratio and minimum net worth. The Company was in compliance with the debt covenants during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 .

The table below compares the actual net worth and interest coverage ratio with the limits specified in the credit agreement.

The Interest Coverage Ratio is calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis as defined in the credit agreement.

In addition to the $100 million credit facility, the Company can opt to utilize foreign credit facilities which are available to satisfy short-term cash needs at a specific foreign location rather than funding from intercompany sources. The Company maintains a foreign credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Thailand which is backed by the $100 million revolving credit facility. The Company has a credit facility for its EMS segment operation in Poland, which allows for multi-currency borrowings up to 6.0 million Euro equivalent (approximately $8.7 million U.S. dollars at June 30, 2011 exchange rates). These foreign credit facilities can be canceled at any time by either the bank or the Company.

The Company believes its principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under the Company's credit facilities will be sufficient for fiscal year 2012 and the foreseeable future. One of the Company's sources of funds has been its ability to generate cash from operations to meet its liquidity obligations, which during fiscal year 2011 was hampered by working capital variations which negatively impacted cash balances, and could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for the Company's products, loss of key contract customers, the

ability of the Company to generate profits, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for the Company's products decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted. Another source of funds is the Company's credit facilities. The $100 million credit facility is contingent on complying with certain debt covenants.

The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Fair Value

During fiscal year 2011 , no level 1 or level 2 financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. For level 1 financial assets, readily available market pricing was used to value the financial instruments. The Company's foreign currency derivatives, which were classified as level 2 assets/liabilities, were independently valued using observable market inputs such as forward interest rate yield curves, current spot rates, and time value calculations. To verify the reasonableness of the independently determined fair values, these derivative fair values were compared to fair values calculated by the counterparty banks. The Company's own credit risk and counterparty credit risk had an immaterial impact on the valuation of the foreign currency derivatives.

The Company invested in convertible promissory notes and stock warrants of a privately-held company during fiscal year 2010. During fiscal year 2011, the convertible promissory notes experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair market value resulting in a $1.2 million impairment loss and, upon a qualified financing, were subsequently converted to non-marketable equity securities which are accounted for as a cost-method investment. The stock warrants, classified as derivative instruments, were valued on a recurring basis using a market-based method which utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model which resulted in a $1.0 million derivative gain as a result of the qualified financing. The fair value measurements for the stock warrants were calculated using unobservable inputs and were classified as level 3 financial assets.

See Note 11 - Fair Value of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company's contractual obligations as of June 30, 2011 .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than standby letters of credit and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on standby letters of credit. The Company does not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.

The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. The Company's management overlays a fundamental philosophy of valuing its assets and liabilities in an appropriately conservative manner. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements and are the policies that are most critical in the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

Revenue recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when title and risk transfer to the customer, which under the terms and conditions of the sale may occur either at the time of shipment or when the product is delivered to the customer. Service revenue is recognized as services are rendered. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Company recognizes sales net of applicable sales tax.

for returns and allowances was $2.1 million and $2.5 million , respectively. The returns and allowances reserve approximated 1% to 3% of gross trade receivables during fiscal years 2011 and 2010.

Excess and obsolete inventory - Inventories were valued using the lower of last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost or market value for approximately 11% and 9% of consolidated inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 , respectively, including approximately 81% and 78% of the Furniture segment inventories at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 , respectively. The remaining inventories were valued at lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market value. Inventories recorded on the Company's balance sheet are adjusted for excess and obsolete inventory. In general, the Company purchases materials and finished goods for contract-based business from customer orders and projections, primarily in the case of long lead time items, and has a general philosophy to only purchase materials to the extent covered by a written commitment from its customers. However, there are times when inventory is purchased beyond customer commitments due to minimum lot sizes and inventory lead time requirements, or where component allocation or other procurement issues exist. The Company may also purchase additional inventory to support transfers of production between manufacturing facilities. Evaluation of excess inventory includes such factors as anticipated usage, inventory turnover, inventory levels, and product demand levels. Factors considered when evaluating inventory obsolescence include the age of on-hand inventory and reduction in value due to damage, use as showroom samples, design changes, or cessation of product lines.

Self-insurance reserves - The Company is self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 , the Company's accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Taxes - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize its deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, the Company provides a valuation allowance based on its best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management's assessment.

The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, the Company believes it has made adequate provision for income and other taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax periods are effectively settled, the provision will be adjusted accordingly. The liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions, was $3.6 million at June 30, 2011 and $3.7 million at June 30, 2010 .

New Accounting Standards

See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding New Accounting Standards.  

Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk: There was no balance in debt securities at June 30, 2011 . As of June 30, 2010 , the Company had an investment in debt securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $2.5 million . These securities were classified as available-for-sale securities and were stated at fair value. The Company's policy for recording unrealized losses on debt securities is to recognize a loss in earnings when there is an intent to sell or a requirement to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the debt security has incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax related effect as a component of Share Owners' Equity. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at June 30, 2010 would have caused the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 13 - Investments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: The Company operates internationally and thus is subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. The Company's risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. Derivatives are used only to manage underlying exposures of the Company and are not used in a speculative manner. Further information on derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 12 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates from levels at June 30, 2011 and 2010 relative to non-functional currency balances of monetary instruments, to the extent not hedged by derivative instruments, would not have a material impact on profitability in an annual period. 

Equity Risk: As of June 30, 2011, the Company held a non-marketable equity investment in a privately-held company. If the private company experiences certain events or circumstances, such as the loss of customers, the inability to achieve growth initiatives, or if there are factors beyond its control in the markets which it serves, the private company's performance could be affected materially resulting in a loss of some or all of its value, which could result in an other-than-temporary impairment of the investment. If an other-than-temporary impairment of fair value would occur, the investment would be adjusted down to its fair value and an impairment charge would be recognized in earnings. The non-marketable equity investment had a carrying amount of $1.8 million as of June 30, 2011 . At June 30, 2010 , there was no balance held in non-marketable equity investments.

Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Kimball International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying financial statements and other related information in this report. The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include judgments and estimates, which in the opinion of management are applied on an appropriately conservative basis. The Company maintains a system of internal and disclosure controls intended to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, transactions are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of the financial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by employees who work within the internal control processes, by the Company's staff of internal auditors, as well as by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with their annual audit.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of directors who are not employees of the Company, meets regularly with management, the internal auditors, and the independent registered public accounting firm to review the Company's financial policies and procedures, its internal control structure, the objectivity of its financial reporting, and the independence of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit Committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.

Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

These consolidated financial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2011 .

Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule and an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kimball International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 , and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2011 , in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 , based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
