<p><b>Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.<br>
<br>
</b>On April 9, 2002, Kimball International, Inc. decided to dismiss Arthur
Andersen LLP (&quot;Andersen&quot;) as its independent auditors and to engage Deloitte &amp;
Touche LLP to serve as the Company's new independent auditors. The change in
auditors will become effective immediately and Deloitte &amp; Touche will complete
the quarterly review of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2002. This decision was approved by the Company's Board
of Directors upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee.<br>
<br>
During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the
subsequent interim period through April 9, 2002, there were no disagreements
with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the
subject matter in connection with their report on Kimball's consolidated
financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as
defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. <br>
<br>
The audit reports of Andersen on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2000 and 2001 did not
contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. <br>
<br>
The Company provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. A copy
of Andersen's letter is attached as Exhibit 16, dated April 9, 2002, stating its
agreement with such statements. <br>
<br>
During the two most recent fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, and the subsequent
interim period through April 9, 2002, the Company did not consult with Deloitte
&amp; Touche regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i)
and (ii) of Regulation S-K.</p>
