NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

April 3, 2010

Note A. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The January 2, 2010 consolidated balance sheet included in this Form 10-Q was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 3, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 1, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in HNI Corporation's (the "Corporation") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010.

Note B. Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation measures stock-based compensation expense at grant date, based on the fair value of the award and recognizes expense over the employee requisite service period. For the three months ended April 3, 2010, and April 4, 2009, the Corporation recognized $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense for the cost of stock options and time-based restricted stock units issued under the HNI Corporation 2007 Stock-Based Compensation Plan and shares issued under the HNI Corporation 2002 Members' Stock Purchase Plan.

At April 3, 2010, there was $13.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards, which the Corporation expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining requisite service period of 1.5 years.

Note C. Inventories

The Corporation values its inventory at the lower of cost or market with approximately 80% valued by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method.

(in thousands)	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment			Pension Postretirement Liability			Derivative Financial Instruments			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance at January 2, 2010	$	3,526		$	(2,710	)	$	(1,590	)	$	(774	)

Balance at April 3, 2010	$	3,522		$	(2,631	)	$	(1,417	)	$	(526	)

During the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Corporation repurchased 135,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $3.3 million. As of April 3, 2010, $160.3 million of the Corporation's Board of Directors' current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

Note E. Earnings Per Share

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS"):

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share data)	Apr. 3, 2010			Apr. 4, 2009
Numerators:
Numerator for both basic and diluted EPS attributable to Parent Company net income (loss)	$	(5,986	)	$	(11,886	)
Denominators:
Denominator for basic EPS weighted-average common shares outstanding		45,166			44,612
Potentially dilutive shares from stock-based compensation plans		-			-
Denominator for diluted EPS		45,166			44,612
Earnings per share – basic	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.27	)
Earnings per share – diluted	$	(0.13	)	$	(0.27	)

None of the outstanding stock options or restricted stock units were included in the computation of diluted EPS at April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009, as all would be anti-dilutive due to the current period loss.

Note F. Restructuring Reserve and Plant Closures

As a result of challenging market conditions and the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies, management made the decision to close an office furniture manufacturing facility located in Salisbury, North Carolina and consolidate production into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities. In connection with the closure of the Salisbury location, the Corporation recorded $1.6 million of charges during the quarter ended April 3, 2010 which included $1.3 million of severance costs for approximately 125 members and $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in cost of sales. The closure and consolidation will be substantially completed by the end of 2010. In connection with other office furniture plant closures announced in 2009, the Corporation recorded $0.7 million of charges during the quarter ended April 3, 2010 which included $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in cost of sales and $0.4 million of other costs which were recorded as restructuring costs.

The Corporation's hearth products segment recorded $0.1 million of restructuring costs in the first quarter related to the consolidation of production and shutdown of distribution centers announced in 2009.

The following is a summary of changes in restructuring accruals during the three months ended April 3, 2010. This summary does not include accelerated depreciation as this item was not accounted for through the restructuring accrual on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets but is included as a component of "Restructuring and Impairment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(In thousands)	Severance			Facility Exit Costs & Other			Total
Balance as of January 2, 2010	$	4,389		$	1,569		$	5,958
Restructuring charges		1,286			548			1,834
Cash payments		(1,699	)		(877	)		(2,576	)
Balance as of April 3, 2010	$	3,976		$	1,240		$	5,216

Note G. Discontinued Operations

During the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Corporation committed to a plan to sell a small non-core business of its office furniture segment. The Corporation also sold a small non-core component of its hearth product segment during the first quarter. Revenues and expenses associated with these business operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

During the quarter ended April 3, 2010, the Corporation recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $1.0 million to reduce the assets of the office furniture business to fair market value. The charge was principally due to the write-down of intangibles not deductible for tax purposes. A pre-tax loss of $0.4 million was recorded at the time of sale of the hearth products component referred to above.

Summarized financial information for discounted operations is as follows:

	Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	Apr. 3, 2010			Apr. 4, 2009

Note H. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The table below summarizes amortizable definite-lived intangible assets as of April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, which are reflected in the "Other Assets" line item in the Corporation's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(In thousands)	Apr. 3, 2010		Jan. 2, 2010
Patents	$	19,325	$	19,325

Less: accumulated amortization		65,742		68,004
	$	62,046	$	66,772

Aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended April 3, 2010 and April 4, 2009 was $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the following five fiscal years is as follows:

(In millions)		2010				2011				2012				2013				2014
Amortization Expense		$	8.3			$	6.4			$	5.8			$	5.3			$	4.7

As events such as potential acquisitions, dispositions or impairments occur in the future, these amounts may change.

The Corporation also owns trademarks and trade names with a net carrying amount of $41.0 million. The trademarks are deemed to have indefinite useful lives because they are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since January 2, 2010, are as follows by reporting segment:

(In thousands)	Office Furniture			Hearth Products			Total
Balance as of January 2, 2010
Goodwill	$	123,948		$	166,525		$	290,473
Accumulated impairment losses		(29,359	)		-			(29,359	)
		94,589			166,525			261,114
Goodwill acquired during the quarter		-			-			-
Impairment losses		-			-			-
Goodwill related to the sale of business units		-			(486	)		(486	)
Balance as of April 3, 2010

Accumulated impairment losses		(29,359	)		-			(29,359	)
	$	94,589		$	166,039		$	260,628

The Corporation evaluates its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter, or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Corporation estimates the fair value of its reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow method. This method employs assumptions that are market participant based. The decrease in the hearth products segment related to the sale of a non-core component during the quarter.

Note I. Product Warranties

The Corporation issues certain warranty policies on its office furniture and hearth products that provide for repair or replacement of any covered product or component that fails during normal use because of a defect in design or workmanship.

A warranty reserve is determined by recording a specific reserve for known warranty issues and an additional reserve for unknown claims that are expected to be incurred based on historical claims experience. Actual claims incurred could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to the reserve. Activity associated with warranty obligations was as follows during the periods noted:

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	Apr. 3, 2010			Apr. 4, 2009
Balance at beginning of period	$	12,684		$	13,948
Accruals for warranties issued during period		4,107			4,039
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties		749			(180	)
Settlements made during the period		(4,644	)		(4,092	)
Balance at end of period	$	12,896		$	13,715

Note J. Postretirement Health Care

The following table sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost included in the Corporation's income statement for:

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	Apr. 3, 2010			Apr. 4, 2009
Service cost	$	90		$	97
Interest cost		210			240
Amortization of transition obligation		127			127
Amortization of (gain)/loss		(4	)		(2	)
Net periodic benefit cost	$	423		$	462

Note K. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2010 reflects an actual effective tax rate of 45.2 percent, compared to a discrete period effective tax rate of 39.7 percent for the first quarter 2009. The first quarter 2010 effective tax rate was impacted by a discrete benefit associated with an adjustment of deferred tax assets. The 2010 estimated annual effective tax rate including discontinued operations is expected to be 36 percent, slightly higher than the U.S. tax rate of 35 percent, primarily due to increased profitability and the lack of U.S. research and development tax credits which have not been extended past 2009. A discrete calculation was used to report the 2009 first quarter tax provision rather than an estimated annual tax rate as uncertainty in the full year outlook produced significant variability and made it difficult to reasonably estimate the 2009 annual effective tax rate.

Note L. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Corporation uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. On the date a derivative is entered into, the Corporation designates the derivative as (i) a fair value hedge, (ii) a cash flow hedge, (iii) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (iv) a risk management instrument not eligible for hedge accounting. The Corporation recognizes all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

In June 2008, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap agreement, designated as a cash flow hedge, for purposes of managing its benchmark interest rate fluctuation risk. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a variable rate of interest equal to the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as determined on the last day of each monthly settlement period on an aggregated notional principal amount of $50 million. The net amount paid or received upon monthly settlements is recorded as an adjustment to interest expense, while the change in fair value is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet. The interest rate swap agreement matures on May 27, 2011.

The aggregate fair market value of the interest rate swap as of April 3, 2010 was a liability of $2.3 million, of which $2.0 million is included in current liabilities and $0.3 million is included in long-term liabilities in the Corporation's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 3, 2010. For the three month period ended April 3, 2010, the Corporation recorded a

deferred net loss of $249,000 in other comprehensive income and reclassified $527,000 from other comprehensive income to current period earnings as interest expense in the consolidated statement of income. As of April 3, 2010, $1,246,500 of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity ("Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) related to this interest rate swap, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings ("Interest expense" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income) over the next twelve months.

Note M. Fair Value Measurements

For recognition purposes, on a recurring basis the Corporation is required to measure at fair value its investment in target funds. The target funds are reported as both current and noncurrent assets based on the portion that is anticipated to be used for current operations. When available the Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Corporation makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.

Assets measured at fair value during the three months ended April 3, 2010 were as follows:

(in thousands)	Fair value as of measurement date			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Investment in target funds	$	7,717		$	-	$	7,717		$	-
Derivative financial instrument	$	(2,270	)	$	-	$	(2,270	)	$	-

Assets measured at fair value for the year ended January 2, 2010 were as follows:

(in thousands)	Fair value as of measurement date			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (Level 2)			Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
Investment in target funds	$	5,744		$	-	$	5,744		$	-
Derivative financial instrument	$	(2,548	)	$	-	$	(2,548	)	$	-

In addition to the methods and assumptions the Corporation uses to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the section above, it uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

The carrying amount approximated fair value.

Long-term debt (including current portion)

The carrying value of the Corporation's outstanding variable-rate, long-term debt obligations at April 3, 2010 and January 2, 2010, the end of the Corporation's 2009 fiscal year, approximates the fair value. The fair value of the Corporation's outstanding fixed-rate, long-term debt obligations is estimated to be $150 million at April 3, 2010 and $151 million at January 2, 2010, compared to the carrying value of $150 million.

Note N. Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation utilizes letters of credit in the amount of $18.4 million to back certain financing instruments, insurance policies and payment obligations. The letters of credit reflect fair value as a condition of their underlying purpose and are subject to competitively determined fees.

The Corporation has contingent liabilities which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes, and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, although such matters could have a material effect on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results and cash flows when resolved in a future period.

Note O. New Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards issued during the quarter that the Corporation expects to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Note P. Business Segment Information

Management views the Corporation as operating in two business segments: office furniture and hearth products with the former being the principal business segment.

The office furniture segment manufactures and markets a broad line of metal and wood commercial and home office furniture which includes storage products, desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, bookcases, freestanding office partitions and panel systems and other related products. The hearth products segment manufactures and markets a broad line of manufactured gas, electric, wood and biomass burning fireplaces, inserts, stoves, facings and accessories, principally for the home.

For purposes of segment reporting, intercompany sales transfers between segments are not material and operating profit is income before income taxes exclusive of certain unallocated corporate expenses. These unallocated corporate expenses include the net cost of the Corporation's corporate operations, interest income and interest expense. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses during the quarter ended April 3, 2010, compared to the same quarter in the prior year is due primarily to increased group medical costs. Management views interest income and expense as corporate financing costs rather than a business segment cost. In addition, management applies one effective tax rate to its consolidated income before income taxes so income taxes are not reported or viewed internally on a segment basis.

The Corporation's primary market and capital investments are concentrated in the United States.

Reportable segment data reconciled to the consolidated financial statements for the three month periods ended April 3, 2010, and April 4, 2009, is as follows:

	Three Months Ended

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Corporation has two reportable segments: office furniture and hearth products. The Corporation is the second largest office furniture manufacturer in the world and the nation's leading manufacturer and marketer of gas- and wood-burning fireplaces. The Corporation utilizes its split and focus, decentralized business model to deliver value to its customers with its various brands and selling models. The Corporation is focused on growing its existing businesses while seeking out and developing new opportunities for growth.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased 8.4 percent to $363.5 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease was driven by declines in both segments. Gross margins for the quarter increased from prior year levels due to lower material costs and cost reduction initiatives partially offset by lower volume and decreased price realization. Selling and administrative expenses decreased due to cost control initiatives, lower volume related costs, improved distribution efficiencies and lower restructuring and transition costs.

The Corporation continues to take actions to reset its cost structure due to challenging market conditions and pursuant to its ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies. The Corporation announced the decision to close an office furniture manufacturing facility and recorded $2.8 million of restructuring and transition costs in the first quarter in connection with this closure as well as office furniture plant closures announced in 2009 net of a non-operating gain on the sale of one of the facilities. In addition the Corporation recorded $0.2 million of restructuring and transition costs in its hearth products segment related to the consolidation of production and closure of distribution centers announced in 2009.

The Corporation made a decision to sell a non-core business of the office furniture segment and sold a non-core component of the hearth products segment during the first quarter of 2010. Revenues and expenses associated with these business operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the financial statements requires the Corporation to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Corporation continually evaluates its accounting policies and estimates. The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and on a variety of other assumptions believed by management to be reasonable in order to make judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A summary of the more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments in preparing the financial statements is provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010. During the first three months of fiscal 2010, there were no material changes in the accounting policies and assumptions previously disclosed.

New Accounting Standards

There were no new accounting standards issued during the quarter that the Corporation expects to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Results of Operations

The following table presents certain key highlights from the results of operations for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	Apr. 3, 2010			Apr. 4, 2009			Percent Change
Net sales	$	363,506		$	396,829			-8.4	%
Cost of sales		244,326			274,183			-10.9
Gross profit		119,180			122,646			-2.8
Selling & administrative expenses		122,800			133,938			-8.3
Restructuring & impairment charges		1,834			5,085			-63.9
Operating income (loss)		(5,454	)		(16,377	)		66.7
Interest expense, net		2,635			3,063			-14.0
Earnings (loss) before income taxes		(8,089	)		(19,440	)		58.4
Income taxes		(3,947	)		(7,742	)		-49.0
Income (loss) from continuing operations		(4,142	)		(11,698	)		64.6

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter decreased 8.4 percent or $33.3 million compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease occurred in both the office furniture and hearth products segments.

Gross margin for the first quarter increased to 32.8 percent compared to 30.9 percent for the same quarter last year. The improvement in gross margin was driven by cost reduction initiatives and lower material costs offset partially by decreased volume and price realization and higher restructuring and transition costs. First quarter 2010 included $1.5 million of accelerated depreciation and transition costs related to the closure and consolidation of office furniture manufacturing facilities and hearth consolidation.

As a result of challenging market conditions and the Corporation's ongoing business simplification and cost reduction strategies, management made the decision to close an office furniture manufacturing facility located in Salisbury, North Carolina and consolidate production into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities. In connection with the closure of the Salisbury location the Corporation recorded $1.6 million of charges during the quarter ended April 3, 2010 which included $1.3 million of severance costs for approximately 125 members and $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation recorded in cost of sales. The closure and consolidation will be substantially completed by the end of 2010. In connection with other office furniture plant closures announced in 2009, the Corporation recorded $1.5 million of restructuring and transition charges during the first quarter which included $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation and $0.8 million of other transition costs recorded in cost of sales and $0.4 million of other costs which were recorded as restructuring costs. The Corporation recorded a gain of $0.5 million on the sale of one of the closed office furniture manufacturing facilities during the first quarter. The Corporation's hearth products segment recorded $0.2 million of charges during the first quarter related to the consolidation of production and shutdown of distribution centers announced in 2009. These charges included

$0.1 million of transition costs recorded in cost of sales and $0.1 million of other costs which were recorded as restructuring costs. The Corporation anticipates additional restructuring and transition costs of approximately $5.9 million related to the various closures over the remainder of 2010.

Total selling and administrative expenses, including restructuring charges, as a percent of sales decreased to 34.3 percent compared to 35.0 percent for the same quarter last year. Actual selling and administrative expenses decreased $14.4 million as a result of cost control initiatives, lower volume related expenses, improved distribution efficiencies and lower restructuring and transition costs. First quarter 2009 included $5.1 million of restructuring charges associated with a plant consolidation.

The Corporation experienced a net loss from continuing operations of ($4.1) million or ($0.09) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010 compared to a net loss of ($11.7) million or ($0.26) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009. Net interest expense decreased $0.4 million during the quarter due to lower borrowing.

The provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2010 reflects an actual effective tax rate of 45.2 percent, compared to a discrete period effective tax rate of 39.7 percent for the first quarter of 2009. The first quarter 2010 effective tax rate was impacted by a discrete benefit associated with an adjustment of deferred tax assets. The 2010 estimated annual effective tax rate including discontinued operations is expected to be 36 percent, slightly higher than the U.S. tax rate of 35 percent, primarily due to increased profitability and the lack of U.S. research and development tax credits which have not been extended past 2009. A discrete calculation was used to report the 2009 first quarter tax provision rather than an estimated annual tax rate as uncertainty in the full year outlook produced significant variability and made it difficult to reasonably estimate the 2009 annual effective tax rate.

The Corporation made a decision to sell a small, non-core business of the office furniture segment during the first quarter of 2010. A pre-tax charge of $1.0 million was recorded to reduce the assets held for sale to fair market value. In addition, the Corporation sold a small non-core component of its hearth products segment during the quarter. A pre-tax charge of $0.4 million was recorded at the time of the sale. Revenues and expenses associated with these business operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the financial statements.

Office Furniture

First quarter 2010 sales for the office furniture segment decreased 9.3 percent or $30.8 million to $300.0 million from $330.8 million for the same quarter last year driven by declines in all channels of the office furniture industry. Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased $5.6 million to $6.2 million as a result of lower material costs, improved distribution efficiencies, cost reduction initiatives and a $0.5 million gain on the sale of a facility. These were partially offset by lower volume and decreased price realization. First quarter 2010 included $3.1 million of restructuring and transition costs including accelerated depreciation compared to $3.0 million of restructuring costs in first quarter 2009.

Hearth Products

First quarter 2010 net sales for the hearth products segment decreased 3.9 percent or $2.6 million to $63.5 million from $66.0 million for the same quarter last year driven by a decline in the remodel-retrofit channel partially offset by an increase in the new construction channel. Operating profit prior to unallocated corporate expenses increased $8.4 million to a $2.9 million loss due to cost reduction initiatives and lower material and restructuring costs partially offset by lower volume and decreased price realization. First quarter 2010 included $0.2 million of restructuring and transition costs compared to $2.1 million of restructuring costs in first quarter 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow – Operating Activities

Operating activities used $25.4 million of cash in the first quarter 2010 compared to generating $5.6 million of cash in the first quarter 2009. Working capital performance resulted in a $43.1 million use of cash in the current fiscal year compared to $6.1 million use of cash in the prior year. Working capital performance in the first quarter of 2009 was positively impacted by reductions in accounts receivable due to a significant decrease in revenue. The Corporation's first quarter is historically the lowest quarter for operating cash flow due to seasonal business patterns and funding requirements. Cash flow from operating activities is expected to be positive for the year.

Cash Flow – Investing Activities

Capital expenditures including capitalized software for the first three months of fiscal 2010 were $4.8 million compared to $4.6 million in the same period of fiscal 2009 and were primarily for tooling and equipment for new products. For the full year 2010, capital expenditures are expected to be $25 to $30 million primarily focused on new product development and related tooling.

Cash Flow – Financing Activities

During the first three months of fiscal 2010, net borrowings under the Corporation's revolving credit facility remained at $50 million. As of April 3, 2010, it is classified as short-term as the revolver expires in January of 2011. The Corporation is currently exploring its financing options and plans to have a new credit facility in place by the end of the Corporation's second fiscal quarter.

The credit agreement governing the Corporation's revolving credit facility contains a number of covenants, including covenants requiring maintenance of the following financial ratios as of the end of any fiscal quarter:

·	a consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) for the last four fiscal quarters to (b) the sum of consolidated interest charges; and

·	a consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The note purchase agreement pertaining to the Corporation's Senior Notes also contains a number of covenants, including a covenant requiring maintenance of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the note purchase agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0, based upon the ratio of (a) the quarter-end consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the note purchase agreement) to (b) consolidated EBITDA for the last four fiscal quarters.

The revolving credit facility and Senior Notes are the primary sources of committed funding from which the Corporation finances its planned capital expenditures, strategic initiatives, such as repurchases of common stock and certain working capital needs. Non-compliance with the various financial covenant ratios could prevent the Corporation from being able to access further borrowings under the revolving credit facility, require immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding with respect to the revolving credit facility and Senior Notes and/or increase the cost of borrowing.

The most restrictive of the financial covenants is the consolidated leverage ratio requirement of 3.0 to 1.0 included in the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility. Under that credit agreement, adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization of intangibles, as well as non-cash, nonrecurring charges and all non-cash items increasing net income. At April 3, 2010, the Corporation was well below this ratio and was in compliance with all of the covenants and other restrictions in the credit agreements and note purchase agreement. The Corporation currently expects to remain in compliance over the next twelve months.

The Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per share on the Corporation's common stock on February 17, 2010, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2010. It was paid on March 8, 2010.

During the three months ended April 3, 2010, the Corporation repurchased 135,000 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $3.3 million, or an average price of $24.38 per share. For the three months ended April 4, 2009, the Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock. As of April 3, 2010, approximately $160.3 million of the Board's current repurchase authorization remained unspent.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Corporation does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on the Corporation's financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual obligations associated with ongoing business and financing activities will result in cash payments in future periods. A table summarizing the amounts and estimated timing of these future cash payments was provided in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2010. During the first three months of fiscal 2010 there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the Corporation's contractual obligations or the estimated timing of the future cash payments.

Commitments and Contingencies

The Corporation is involved in various kinds of disputes and legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of its business, including pending litigation, environmental remediation, taxes and other claims. It is the Corporation's opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, that liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial condition, although such matters could have a material effect on the Corporation's quarterly or annual operating results and cash

flows when resolved in a future period.

Looking Ahead

Management is encouraged by recent trends in both the hearth and office furniture markets. Management believes the actions it has taken during the recent downturn to reset its cost structure and invest in selling and growth initiatives has positioned the Corporation to benefit as its markets improve.

The Corporation continues to focus on creating long-term shareholder value by growing its businesses through investment in building brands, product solutions and selling models, enhancing its strong member-owner culture and remaining focused on its long-standing continuous improvement programs to build best total cost and a lean enterprise.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Directors and members (i.e., employees) of the Corporation receive common stock equivalents pursuant to the HNI Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the HNI Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, respectively (collectively, the "Deferred Plans"). Common stock equivalents are hypothetical shares of common stock having a value on any given date equal to the value of a share of common stock. Common stock equivalents earn dividend equivalents that are converted into additional common stock equivalents but carry no voting rights or other rights afforded to a holder of common stock. The common stock equivalents credited to members and directors under the Deferred Plans are exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as private offerings made only to directors and members of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Deferred Plans.

Under the Deferred Plans, each director or member participating in the Deferred Plans, may elect to defer the receipt of all or any portion of the compensation paid to such director or member by the Corporation to a cash or stock sub-account. All deferred payments to the stock sub-account are held in the form of common stock equivalents. Payments out of the deferred stock sub-accounts are made in the form of common stock of the Corporation (and cash as to any fractional common stock equivalent). In the first quarter of 2010, the directors and members, as a group, were credited with 5,294 common stock equivalents under the Deferred Plans. The value of each common stock equivalent, when credited, ranged from $23.77 to $26.63.
