In November 1999, the Company purchased Jackson of Danville, a privately held manufacturer of custom and in-line fully upholstered seating products and wood framed chairs. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with operating results included in the Company's consolidated results from the date of acquisition, and was financed with available cash on hand and the Company's Class B Common Stock.

Net income for the six-monthnine-month period also declined primarily due to the lower sales margins on lodging and healthcare products, lower margins on furniture components, and start-up costs at the recently acquired Juarez, Mexico facility mentioned above. - 9 - ELECTRONIC CONTRACT ASSEMBLIES SEGMENT Net sales for the secondthird quarter of fiscal year 2000 in the Electronic Contract Assemblies Segment exceeded the prior year by 1%9%. SecondThird quarter sales of electronic transportation andcomponents, telecommunication components and medical devices and industrial controlscomponents increased while sales of computer related components and industrial controls declined when compared to the prior year. Segment sales for the six-monthnine-month period increased 8% compared to one year ago aided partially by the unfavorable impact the General Motors labor strike had on the prior year six-monthnine-month results. - 9 - Net income for both the secondthird quarter and six-monthnine-month periods decreased from the prior year. Gross profit, as a percent of net sales, decreased for both the quarter and six-monthnine-month comparisons. With a planned diversification of its customer base into a variety of new industries,products as well as production of the next generation of anti-locking braking components, the Company's gross profit margins in this segment are lower when compared to higher historic margins that were achieved on more mature product lines. Start up costs associated with a new manufacturing facility in Laem Chebang, Thailand and a new high flexibility production facility in Jasper, Indiana also contributed to the lower net income. Net income was also impacted during the period due to labor inefficiencies and separation costs associated with the release of approximately 250 employees from Kimball's Reynosa, Mexico manufacturing facility.

Included in this segment are sales to one customer, TRW Inc., which accounted for 15% and 16%17% of consolidated net sales in the secondthird quarter of both fiscal year 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 16% and 14%15% of consolidated net sales in the six monthnine-month period ending DecemberMarch 31, 19992000 and 1998,1999, respectively. Sales to this customer represent approximately one half of total sales in the Electronic Contract Assemblies Segment, which has historically carried a higher operating income margin than the Company's other business segment. This segment's investment capital carries a higher degree of risk than the Company's other segment due to rapid technological changes, the contract nature of this industry and the importance of sales to one customer.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive software could have recognized a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could have resulted in a major system failure or miscalculations. Prior to the turn of the century, the Company implemented a plan to alleviate any potential problems which may have been caused by the Year 2000 which included inventory assessment, remediation and testing. Currently, theThe Company has not experienced any major interruptions or malfunctions in its operations related to the Year 2000 issue, or the leap year date of February 29, 2000, and does not anticipate any. In addition, the - 11 - Company has currently not experienced any interruptions caused by a lack of Year 2000 readiness by any of its key suppliers, distributors, customers, public infrastructure suppliers and other vendors. While a major hurdle has passed with the turnThe total gross cost of the century, the Company continuesYear 2000 compliance approximated $8.1 million which favorably compares to monitor its systems for potential problems that may still occur, particularly related to the leap year date of February 29, 2000, and continues to keep in contact with its mission critical suppliers on any potential problems that may arise. The Company can provide no assurance that the systems of any third party on which the Company's systems and operations rely will continue operating without major interruptions and which will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. This information is subject to the same risks and uncertainties outlinedestimated costs disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K filing for its fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. While the Year 2000 issue has been given the highest priority among the IT group, any deferrals1999 of other IT projects by the Company have not had a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The total gross cost of Year 2000 compliance is estimated at approximately $8.5$9 million of which approximately 95% had been incurred as of December 31, 1999. The remaining 5% of the costs will be incurred primarily in the January-March 2000 timeframe, as the Company fixes any minor problems that occurred with the roll over of the Year 2000 and monitors the leap year date.to $11 million.

Approximately 30% of the - 11 - above total gross costs relate to machinery and other fixed assets which were capitalized or in certain situations leased, with the remaining costs being expensed as incurred. Contingency plans are in place in the unlikely event the Company would experience problems in the future. The contingency plans include such items as sourcing alternatives for single source suppliers and business continuity plans. This Year 2000 disclosure contains forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to such factors as the unexpected hidden problems relating to the Year 2000 that may not have surfaced to this point or delays or interruptions caused by the leap year date of February 29, 2000.point. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires the recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and the measurement of those instruments at fair value. The Company periodically engages in limited forward purchases of foreign currency and currently does not expect this new standard to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. This standard will be effective for the Company's fiscal year 2001. ________________________________________________________________________________------------------------------------------------------------------------ This document contains certain statements which could be considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Cautionary statements regarding these statements have been included in this document, when appropriate. Additional cautionary statements regarding these types of statements and other factors that could have an effect on the future performance of the Company are contained in the Company's Form 10-K filing for the period ending June 30, 1999. - 12 - Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk As of DecemberMarch 31, 1999,2000, the Company had an investment portfolio of fixed income securities, excluding those classified as cash and cash equivalents, of $108$100 million. The Company classifies its short-term investments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Available-for-sale securities are stated at market value with unrealized gains and losses being recorded net of tax related effect, if any, as a component of Share Owners' Equity. These securities, like all fixed income instruments, are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in market interest rates from levels at DecemberMarch 31, 19992000 would cause the fair value of these short-term investments to decline by an immaterial amount. The Company operates internationally, and thus is subject to potentially adverse movements in foreign currency rate changes. As of the latest fiscal year-end, foreign subsidiaries' sales, operating income and assets each comprised less than 3% of consolidated amounts. Historically, the effect of movements in the exchange rates have been immaterial to the consolidated operating results of the Company. - 13 - PART II.
