<p><b>Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities</b><br>
<br>
As part of the continued efforts to tighten its focus within the Furniture and
Cabinets segment, on November 8, 2005 Kimball International, Inc. (the
&quot;Company&quot;) approved a plan to exit a non-core business that manufactures
polyurethane and polyester molded components. Net sales of this facility
have represented approximately 1% of the Company's total consolidated sales.
This plan is an additional component of the Company's recently announced ongoing
efforts within the Furniture and Cabinets segment to tighten focus on growing
its primary furniture markets and improving profitability. Pursuant to this exit
plan, the Company is pursuing opportunities to sell the business operations. If
the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to sell the business, it will cease
operations at this facility. The Company will provide employment opportunities
where possible at other Kimball manufacturing locations and
will provide assistance to the remaining employees as they transition to other
employment. The customers served by this operation are very important to the
Company and, in the event of closure, management will work diligently with those
customers on closing out existing orders and helping them in the transition to a
new supplier. <br>
<br>
The Company currently estimates that the pre-tax loss or charge will be
approximately $4.0 million under either course of action.&nbsp; If the facility is closed, the Company would
incur fixed asset impairment of approximately $0.9 million, severance and other
employee costs of approximately $0.6 million, and other exit costs of
approximately $2.5 million.&nbsp; The non-cash expense will be approximately 40%
to 65% of the estimated loss or charge depending on which course of action is
taken.<br>
<br>
The Company expects the actions related to the exit under either scenario will
be completed by February 28, 2006. <br>
