EXHIBIT 1
As of November 22, 1996, FMB-Trust, the trustee of the Herman Miller, Inc.
Employee Ownership-Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), is still in the process of
providing participant-directed fund detail regarding the Plan for the prior
fiscal year of the Plan. Furthermore, FMB-Trust is still in the process of
providing a certification on information used to prepare the Plan financial
statements. Therefore, at this time, Arthur Andersen LLP, as independent public
accountants for the Herman Miller, Inc. Employee Ownership-Profit Sharing Plan,
is unable to complete the procedures necessary to issue an unqualified opinion
on the Plan's financial statements.
