NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company,” “Kimball,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As such, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire fiscal year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Note 2. Spin-Off Transaction
On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company does not beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”.

Note 3.2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Supplemental Information
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In January 2016,2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which revises the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted and the amendments can be applied to transactions occurring before the guidance was issued as long as the applicable financial statements have not been issued. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires an entity to include in their cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2019 with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each prior reporting period. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Under the guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The guidance is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption in our fiscal year 2020 permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as the classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that revises the accounting for leases. The guidance is intended to improve financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of income. The guidance will also require additional disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied using a modified retrospective approach to each prior reporting period. We have not yet determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The guidance revises an entity'sentity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The guidance is effective

We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but have not yet selected a transition method nor determined the effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. The guidance requires the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by this update.

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance does not impact inventory measured on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. The standards update is effective prospectively for our first quarter fiscal year 2018 financial statements with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and further clarification guidance allows the cost of securing a revolving line of credit to be recorded as a deferred asset regardless of whether a balance is outstanding. ThisWe adopted this guidance is effective for our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial statements. We currently comply with this method therefore theThe adoption willdid not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance on customer’s accounting for cloud computing fees and provided criteria for customers in a cloud computing arrangement to use to determine whether the arrangement includes a license of software. The guidance clarifies that a software license included in a cloud computing arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses, whereas a cloud computing arrangement that does not include a software license should be accounted for as a service contract. TheWe adopted this guidance is effective forbeginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial statements, and allows forusing the use of either a prospective or retrospective transition method. WeThe adoption did not have not yet selected a transition method nor determined thematerial effect of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB provided explicit guidance on how to account for share-based payments granted to employees in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be appliedwas effective prospectively forin our first quarter of fiscal year 2017 financial statements.  We do2017. The adoption did not expect the adoption to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB decided to defer the effective date for this new revenue standard by one year, which will make the guidance effective for our first quarter fiscal year 2019 financial statements using either of two acceptable adoption methods: (i) retrospective adoption to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients; or (ii) adoption with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which further clarifies assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction, and impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis; in April 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that addresses identifying performance obligations and implementing licensing guidance; and in May 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance that clarifies collectability, noncash consideration, and other transition issues. The amendments have the same effective date and transition requirements as the new revenue standard. We have not yet selected a transition method nor determinedare in the process of evaluating the new guidance against our existing accounting policies and are identifying areas that will be impacted to determine the effect of thisthe guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.statements, and which transition method will be chosen for adoption.
In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. Under the new guidance, a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations, and also requires disclosures of significant disposals that do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. The guidance was effective prospectively for disposals or components of our business classified as held for sale beginning in our first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes Receivable and Trade Accounts Receivable:
Notes receivable and trade accounts receivable are recorded per the terms of the agreement or sale, and accrued interest is recognized when earned. We determine on a case-by-case basis the cessation of accruing interest, the resumption of accruing interest, the method of recording payments received on nonaccrual receivables, and the delinquency status for our limited number of notes receivable.

8



Our policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. Trade accounts receivable and notes receivable are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Our limited amount of notes receivable allows management to monitor the risks, credit quality indicators, collectability, and probability of impairment on an individual basis. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Customary terms require payment within 30 days, with terms beyond 30 days being considered extended.
Income Taxes:
In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates, and available tax planning opportunities in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Unusual or infrequently occurring items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.
Our 36.6% effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 did not include any material unusual items. The second quarter fiscal year 2015 effective tax rate of 101.5% was primarily driven by a lower combined state tax rate post spin-off, requiring a $0.4 million unfavorable adjustment to deferred taxes. This impact had a large effect on the effective tax rate due to the relatively low level of pre-tax income in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015.
Our effective tax rate was 33.2% and 35.8%, respectively, for the first half of fiscalthree and six months ended December 31, 2016, as higher taxable income generated a $0.5 million higher domestic manufacturing deduction than the prior year 2016 of 37.4% did not include any material unusual items.same periods. Our effective tax rate was 36.6% and 37.4%, respectively, for the first halfthree and six months ended December 31, 2015, and neither of fiscal year 2015 of 56.0% was unfavorably impacted as our combined state tax rate was lower post spin-off, requiring a $0.4 million adjustment to deferred taxes in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 which increased our fiscal 2015 year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate. In addition, a portion of our spin-off expenses which are nondeductible also unfavorably impacted the fiscal 2015 year-to-date tax rate.periods included material unusual items.
Non-operating Income (Expense), net:
The non-operating income (expense), net line item includes the impact of such items as fair value adjustments on Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) investments, foreign currency rate movements, non-production rent income, bank charges, and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expense items that are not directly related to operations. The gain (loss) on SERP investments is offset by a change in the SERP liability that is recognized in selling and administrative expenses.

Note 6.5. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Guarantees:
Standby letters of credit arewere issued to third-party suppliers, lessors and insurance institutions and can only be drawn upon in the event of Kimball'sKimball’s failure to pay its obligations to a beneficiary. As of December 31, 2015,2016, we had a maximum financial exposure from unused standby letters of credit totaling $1.0$1.2 million.
We are periodically required to provide performance bonds in order to conduct business with certain customers. The bonds are required to provide assurances to customers that the products and services they have purchased will be installed and/or provided properly and without damage to their facilities. We are ultimately liable for claims that may occur against the performance bonds. We had a maximum financial exposure from performance bonds totaling $1.9 million as of December 31, 2016.


We are not aware of circumstances that would require us to perform under any of these arrangements and believe that the resolution of any claims that might arise in the future, either individually or in the aggregate, would not materially affect our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as

Product Warranties:
We estimate product warranty liability at the time of sale based on historical repair or replacement cost trends in conjunction with the length of the warranty offered. Management refines the warranty liability periodically based on changes in historical cost trends and in certain cases where specific warranty issues become known.

Other Contingency:
The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting.
In March 2016, in connection with a renewal of one of our contracts, we became aware of noncompliance and inaccuracies in our General Services Administration (“GSA”) subcontractor reporting. Accordingly, we retained outside legal counsel to assist in conducting an internal review of our reporting practices, and we self-reported the matter and the results of the internal review to the GSA. We have promptly responded to inquiries from the GSA since our initial reporting, and we intend to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or investigations. While we are not able to reasonably estimate the future financial impact, if any, of the possible sanctions at this time, any of them could, if imposed, have a material adverse impact on our business, future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The timing of the government’s review and determination of any outcome of these matters is uncertain and, therefore, it is unclear as to when and to what extent, if any, our previously issued earnings guidance might be impacted. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, legal and related costs in connection with our internal review and the government’s response to this matter. During the first half of fiscal year 2017, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 9.0% of total Kimball sales, with one contract accounting for approximately 5.4% of total Kimball sales and the other contract accounting for approximately 3.6% of Kimball sales.

Note 7.6. Restructuring Expense
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we recognized no restructuring expense as the restructuring plan is complete. We recognized a pre-tax restructuring expensegain of $1.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016, and recognized $2.0 million and $3.2 million of restructuring expense in the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, and recognized $3.3 million restructuring expense in both the three and six months ended December 31, 2014.respectively. We utilize available market prices and management estimates to determine the fair value of impaired fixed assets. Restructuring charges areactivity is included in the Restructuring (Gain) Expense line item on the Company'sCompany’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.


Capacity Utilization Restructuring Plan:
In November 2014, we announced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includesincluded the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one.
Key factors in the decision to consolidate the Idaho operation into the Indiana facilities include the improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and transportation costs. The transfer of work involvesfrom our Idaho facility involved the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in aan existing Company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional company-ownedexisting Company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. The manufacturing capacity realignment is being carefully managedAll production was transferred out of the Idaho facility as of March 2016, after which work continued in the Indiana facilities to mitigate customer disruptions. The consolidation activities began immediately aftertrain employees, ramp up production and eliminate the announcement in November 2014, and we are actively marketing for saleinefficiencies associated with the Post Falls, Idaho facility. We expect to incur approximately $1.6 million for future capital investments to support the transferstart-up of production in these facilities. The improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs are expected to Indiana. We anticipategenerate pre-tax annual savings of approximately $5 million. For our second quarter and year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2016 we achieved savings of approximately $1.3 million perand approximately $2.2 million, respectively. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal year after2017, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land which was classified as held for sale. Therefore, the plan is fully implemented by Juneyear-to-date period ended December 31, 2016 which is three months earlier thanincludes a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million as the original plan. A majority$12.0 million selling price net of selling costs exceeded the book value of the savings will not be realized until the plan is complete.facility and land.
The reduction of our plane fleet from two jets to one reduced our cost structure while aligning the plane fleet size with our needs following the spin-off of Kimball Electronics on October 31, 2014. Previously, one of our jets was used primarily for the successful strategy of transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations, while the remaining jet was used primarily for management travel. The plane used primarily for management travel was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015. The sale of the plane resulted in a $0.2 million pre-tax gain in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015 which partially offset the impairment charge of $1.1 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. As a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we began realizing theour annual pre-tax savings ofare $0.8 million. In regards to the remaining jet, we believe that our location in rural Jasper, Indiana and the location of our manufacturing locations in small towns away from major metropolitan areas necessitates the need for the remaining jet to efficiently transport customers.
We currently estimate thatThe restructuring plan is complete with pre-tax restructuring totaling $10.8 million. Excluding the pre-tax gain from the sale of the Idaho facility of $2.1 million, the restructuring charges will be approximately $10.3 million with $8.5 million recorded since the plan was announced with the remainder expected to be incurred over the remaining anticipated transition period. The restructuring charges are expected to consistexpense consisted of approximately $4.1$4.9 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $5.2$6.9 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $1.0$1.1 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 90%91% of the total cost estimate is expected to berestructuring expense was cash expense.

Note 7. Assets Held for Sale
At December 31, 2016, no assets were classified as held for sale. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we sold our Post Falls, Idaho facility and land which was classified as held for sale. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.1 million as the $12.0 million selling price exceeded the book value of the facility and land net of selling costs.
At June 30, 2016, assets totaling $9.2 million were classified as held for sale for the facility and land located in Post Falls, Idaho.

Note 8. Fair Value
Kimball categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management'smanagement’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.
Our policy is to recognize transfers between these levels as of the end of each quarterly reporting period. There were no transfers between these levels during the six months ended December 31, 2015.2016. There were also no changes in the inputs or valuation techniques used to measure fair values compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.2016.
We hold a total investment of $1.3 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in non-marketable equity securities invested during fiscal year 2016, and $0.8 million in stock warrants invested during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The investment in non-marketable equity securities is classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for using the cost method, as explained in the Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value section below. The investment in stock warrants is also classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis, as explained in the Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value section below. See Note 9 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in non-marketable equity securities, and Note 10 - Derivative Instruments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the investment in stock warrants. No other purchases or sales of level 3 assets occurred during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.
Financial Instruments Recognized at Fair Value:
The following methods and assumptions were used to measure fair value:
Financial Instrument Level Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Cash EquivalentsEquivalents: Money market funds 1 Market - Quoted market prices
Cash Equivalents: Commercial paper2Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Available-for-sale securities: Secondary market certificates of deposit2Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Available-for-sale securities: Municipal bonds2Market - Based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information.
Trading securities: Mutual funds held in nonqualified SERP 1 Market - Quoted market prices
Derivative Assets: Stock warrants3Market - Stock warrants are analyzed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis. The privately-held company is currently in an early stage of start-up. The pricing of recent purchases or sales of the investment are considered, as well as positive and negative qualitative evidence, in the assessment of fair value.

The nonqualified supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) assets consist primarily of equity funds, balanced funds, target date funds, a bond fund, and a money market fund. The SERP investment assets are offset by a SERP liability which represents Kimball'sKimball’s obligation to distribute SERP funds to participants. See Note 109 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the SERP.
Financial Instruments Not Carried At Fair Value:
Financial instruments that are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value that have carrying amounts which approximate fair value include the following:
Financial Instrument Level Valuation Technique/Inputs Used
Notes receivable 2 Market - Price approximated based on the assumed collection of receivables in the normal course of business, taking into account the customer'scustomer’s non-performance risk
Non-marketable equity securities (cost-method investments, which carry shares at cost except in the event of impairment)3Cost Method, with Impairment Recognized Using a Market-Based Valuation Technique - See the explanation below the table regarding the method used to periodically estimate the fair value of cost-method investments.
Long-term debt (carried at amortized cost) 3 Income - Price estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on quoted long-term debt market rates, taking into account Kimball'sKimball’s non-performance risk
The $0.5 million investment in non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company is accounted for using the cost method. Kimball does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. On a periodic basis, but no less frequently than quarterly, these investments are assessed for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If a significant


adverse effect on the fair value of the investment were to occur and was deemed to be other-than-temporary, the fair value of the investment would be estimated, and the amount by which the carrying value of the cost-method investment exceeds its fair value would be recorded as an impairment loss.
The carrying value of our cash deposit accounts, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and dividends payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity and immaterial non-performance risk.

Note 9. Investments
Investment Portfolio:
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 we began to invest available cash into an investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2016 was comprised of municipal bonds and certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. The municipal bonds include general obligation bonds and revenue bonds, some of which are pre-refunded. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds must be investment grade quality. Our secondary market certificates of deposit are classified as investment securities, being purchased in the secondary market through a broker and available to be sold in the secondary market. All certificates of deposit are FDIC insured. As of June 30, 2016, we held no investments.
Our investment portfolio is available for use in current operations, therefore investments are recorded within Current Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual maturities, or municipal bond pre-refunded dates if applicable, of the Company’s investment portfolio were as follows: 
 December 31, 2016
(Amounts in Thousands)Certificates of DepositMunicipal Bonds
Within one year$5,975
$4,245
After one year through two years3,422
5,163
Total Fair Value$9,397
$9,408
All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities which are recorded at fair value. See Note 8 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the fair value of available-for-sale securities. The amortized cost basis reflects the original purchase price, with discounts and premiums amortized over the life of the security. Unrealized losses on municipal bonds and certificates of deposit are recognized in earnings when there is intent to sell or it is likely to be required to sell before recovery of the loss, or when the municipal bonds and certificates of deposit have incurred a credit loss. Otherwise, unrealized gains and losses are recorded net of the tax-related effect as a component of Share Owners’ Equity.

No investments were in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months as of December 31, 2016. There were no realized gains or losses as a result of sales in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan Investments:
Kimball maintains a self-directed supplemental employee retirement plan (“SERP”) in which executive employees are eligible to participate. The SERP utilizes a rabbi trust, and therefore assets in the SERP portfolio are subject to creditor claims in the event of bankruptcy. Kimball recognizes SERP investment assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at current fair value. A SERP liability of the same amount is recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets representing an obligation to


distribute SERP funds to participants. The SERP investment assets are classified as trading, and accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the Other Income (Expense) category. Adjustments made to revalue the SERP liability are also recognized in income as selling and administrative expenses and offset valuation adjustments on SERP investment assets. Net unrealized holding gains (losses) for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were, in thousands, $99 and $(648), respectively.
SERP asset and liability balances were as follows:

Non-marketable equity securities:
We hold a total investment of $1.3 million in a privately-held company, including $0.5 million in non-marketable equity securities purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The investment in non-marketable equity securities is included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the valuation of these securities. The investment does not rise to the level of a material variable interest or a controlling interest in the privately-held company which would require consolidation.

Note 9.10. Derivative Instruments
Foreign Exchange Contracts:Stock Warrants:
Our former EMS segment, classifiedWe hold a total investment of $1.3 million in a privately-held company, including $0.8 million in stock warrants purchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The investment in stock warrants is accounted for as discontinued operations, operated internationallya derivative instrument, and was therefore exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuationsis included in the normal courseOther Assets line of business. The primary means of managing this exposure was to utilize natural hedges, such as aligning currencies used in the supply chain with the sale currency. To the extent natural hedging techniques did not fully offset currency risk, derivative instruments were used with the objective of reducing the residual exposure to certain foreign currency rate movements. Factors considered in the decision to hedge an underlying market exposure included the materiality of the risk, the volatility of the market, the duration of the hedge, the degree to which the underlying exposure was committed to, and the availability, effectiveness, and cost of derivative instruments. Derivative instruments were only utilized for risk management purposes and were not used for speculative or trading purposes.
Forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were used to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign exchange contracts were also used to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks related to intercompany balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies. In limited cases due to unexpected changes in forecasted transactions, cash flow hedges may have ceased to meet the criteria to be designated as cash flow hedges. Depending on the type of exposure hedged, either a derivative contract in the opposite position of the undesignated hedge may have been purchased or the hedge may have been retained until it matured if the hedge had continued to provide an adequate offset in earnings against the currency revaluation impact of foreign currency denominated liabilities.

15



When derivatives were settled with the counterparty, the derivative asset or liability was relieved and cash flow was impacted for the net settlement. For derivative instruments that met the criteria of hedging instruments under FASB guidance, the effective portions of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument were initially recorded net of related tax effect in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, a component of Share Owners' Equity, and were subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction was recognized in earnings. The gain or loss associated with derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments or that ceased to meet the criteria for hedging under FASB guidance was recognized in earnings.
After the spin-off of the EMS segment on October 31, 2014, we held no derivative instruments. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the changes in deferred derivative gains and losses. Information on the location and amounts of derivative gains and losses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are presented below.

(1) Annual performance shares were awarded to officers and other key employees. The number of annual performance shares to be issued will be dependent upon operating income performance,the Company’s return on capital during fiscal year 2017, with a percentage payout upranging from 0% to a maximum of 200% of the target number set forth above. Annual performance shares vest after one year.
(2) Performance units were awarded to key officers under the Company'sCompany’s Relative Total Shareholder Return program. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2018.2019. Participants will earn from 0% to 200% of the target award depending upon how the compound annual growth rate of Kimball International common stock ranks within the peer group at the end of the performance period.
(3) Restricted share units were awarded to officers and key employees. Vesting occurs at June 30, 2016,2019, except for a new employee whose award is transitioned over June 30, 2017, June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018.2019 vesting periods. Upon vesting, the outstanding number of restricted share units and the value of dividends accumulated over the vesting period are converted to shares of common stock.
(4) Unrestricted shares were awarded to key employees as consideration for service to the Company. Other unrestricted shares were awarded to non-employee members of the Board of Directors as compensation for director's feesdirector’s services which are expensed over the period that directors earn the compensation. Unrestricted shares do not have vesting periods, holding periods, restrictions on sale, or other restrictions.
(5) The grant date fair value of annual performance shares is based on the stock price at the date of the award, reduced by the present value of dividends normally paid over the vesting period which are not payable on outstanding annual performance share awards. The grant date fair value of the Relative Total Shareholder Return awards was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. This valuation technique includes estimating the movement of stock prices and the effects of volatility, interest rates, and dividends. The grant date fair value of the restricted share units and unrestricted shares was based on the stock price at the date of the award.

Note 13. Variable Interest Entities
Kimball'sKimball’s involvement with a variable interest entityentities (“VIE”VIEs”) is limited to a situationsituations in which we are not the primary beneficiary as we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE'sVIE’s economic performance. Thus, consolidation is not required.
Our involvement with the VIE is limited toVIEs consists of an investment in a privately-held company consisting of non-marketable equity securities and stock warrants, a note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility. facility, and notes receivable related to independent dealership financing.
The non-marketable equity securities and stock warrants were valued at $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016 and were included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2016, the non-marketable securities were valued at $0.5 million and were included in the Other Assets line of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For more information related to our investment in the privately-held company, see Note 8 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying value of the note receivable related to the sale of an Indiana facility, net of a $0.5 million allowance, was $0.8 million as of both December 31, 2015. As of2016 and June 30, 2015, the carrying value of the note receivable, net of a $0.5 million allowance, was $0.9 million.2016. For both periods, the short-term portion of the carrying value was included on the Receivables line and the long-term portionof our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


The carrying value of the carrying valuenotes receivable for independent dealership financing was $0.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and were included on the Receivables and Other Assets line of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2016, the note receivable for independent dealership financing was $0.3 million and was included on the Other Assets line of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We have no obligation to provide additional funding to the VIE,VIEs, and thus our exposure and risk of loss related to the VIEVIEs is limited to the carrying value of the investment and notes receivable. Financial support provided by Kimball did not provide additional financial support to the VIEVIEs was limited to the items discussed above during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Note 14. Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses of Notes Receivable
Kimball monitors credit quality and associated risks of notes receivable on an individual basis based on criteria such as financial stability of the party and collection experience in conjunction with general economic and market conditions. We hold collateral for the note receivable from the sale of an Indiana facility thereby mitigating the risk of loss. As of December 31, 20152016 and June 30, 2015,2016, Kimball had no material past due outstanding notes receivable.

Current global economic uncertainties including the slowing in China's economy, distressed oil prices, and volatility in financial markets may pose a threat to our future growth if companies reduce capital spending in response to the uncertainty. We continue to closely monitor key indicators for the marketscommunities in which we compete.operate.
Management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:
The U.S. government, as well as state and local governments, can typically terminate or modify their contracts with us either at their discretion or if we default by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract, which could expose us to liability and impede our ability to compete in the future for contracts and orders. The failure to comply with regulatory and contractual requirements could subject us to investigations, fines, or other penalties, and violations of certain regulatory and contractual requirements could also result in us being suspended or debarred from future government contracting. In relationMarch 2016, in connection with a renewal of one of our two contracts with the General Services Administration (“GSA”), we became aware of noncompliance and inaccuracies in our GSA subcontractor reporting. Accordingly, we retained outside legal counsel to assist in conducting an internal review of our reporting practices, and we self-reported the matter and the results of the internal review to the office furniture industry,GSA. We have promptly responded to inquiries from the BusinessGSA since our initial reporting, and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer Association (“BIFMA”) forecast (by IHS aswe intend to cooperate fully with any further inquiries or investigations. We cannot reasonably predict the outcome of November 2015) projects a year-over-year increasegovernment investigation at this time. During the first half of 7.1%fiscal year 2017, sales related to our GSA contracts were approximately 9.0% of total Kimball sales, with one contract accounting for calendar year 2016. The forecastapproximately 5.4% of total Kimball sales and the other contract accounting for twoapproximately 3.6% of Kimball sales.
Due to the contract and project nature of the leading indicatorsfurniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the hospitality furniture market (January 2016 PwC Hospitality Directions U.S. report) include an increasegross margin on those projects is inherent to our business which in occupancy ratesturn impact our operating results. Effective management of less than 1%our manufacturing capacity is and an increase in RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) of 5.5%will continue to be critical to our success. See below for calendar year 2016.further details regarding current sales and open order trends.
We expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects, including potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability. We have a strong focus on cost control and closely monitor market changes and our liquidity in order to proactively adjust our operating costs, discretionary capital spending, and dividend levels as needed. Managing working capital in conjunction with fluctuating demand levels is likewise key. In addition, a long-standing component of our profit sharing cash incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to our worldwide and business unit performance which is designed to adjust compensation expense as profits change.
We continue to maintain a strong balance sheet. Our short-term liquidity available, represented as cash, and cash equivalents, and short-term investments plus the unused amount of our credit facility, was $55.1$101.1 million at December 31, 2015.
In addition to the above discussion, management currently considers the following events, trends, and uncertainties to be most important to understanding our financial condition and operating performance:
Successful execution of the Company's restructuring plan is critical to the Company's future performance. The success of the restructuring initiatives is dependent on accomplishing the plan in a timely and effective manner. A critical component of the restructuring initiatives is the transfer of production among facilities which will result in some manufacturing inefficiencies and excess working capital during the transition period. The Company's restructuring plan is discussed below.2016.
We continue to focus on mitigating the impact of select raw material commodity pricing pressures.

Due to the contract and project nature of the furniture markets, fluctuation in the demand for our products and variation in the gross margin on those projects is inherent to our business. Effective management of our manufacturing capacity is and will continue to be critical to our success. See below for further details regarding current sales and open order trends.
While both the hospitality and office furniture markets are currently expanding, we continue to see volatility in order rates which in turn can impact our operating results.
Globalization continues to reshape not only the markets in which we operate but also our key customers and competitors. In addition, demand is increasing for shorter lead times on a portion of our hospitality furniture manufacturedorders allows us to utilize available manufacturing capacity in the U.S., and we are shifting focuscontinue to reduce lead times with the remainder of underutilized manufacturing capacityour supply base in order to fill this need.achieve our customers’ requests. We also continually evaluate the optimal location of production facilities and suppliers, particularly for hospitality furniture, in order to provide products to our customers most efficiently and at the lowest cost.
The current global economic outlook includes both positive and negative factors that prompt uncertainty which could pose a threat to our future growth if companies reduce capital spending in response to the uncertainty.
Employees throughout our business operations are an integral part of our ability to compete successfully, and the stability of the management team is critical to long-term Share Owner value. Our career development and succession planning processes help to maintain stability in management.
Spin-Off of Kimball Electronics reported as Discontinued Operations
On October 31, 2014 (“Distribution Date”), we completed the previously announced spin-off of our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) segment by distributing the related shares of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (“Kimball Electronics”), on a pro rata basis, to the Company's Share Owners of record as of October 22, 2014. After the Distribution Date, the Company does not beneficially own any Kimball Electronics shares and Kimball Electronics is an independent publicly traded company. Kimball International, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KBAL” and Kimball Electronics, Inc. trades on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “KE”.
The EMS business was reclassified to discontinued operations. Financial results of the discontinued operations were as follows:

As a result of the October 30, 2014 stock unification, all distinctions between Class A common stock and Class B common stock were eliminated so that all shares of Class B common stock are equivalent to shares of Class A common stock with respect to all matters, including without limitation, dividend payments and voting rights. Therefore, beginning in fiscal year 2016 the earnings per share calculation includes all common stock in a single calculation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference to earnings per share for periods prior to fiscal year 2016 reflects the earnings per Class B diluted share as has historically been reported.

Second quarter fiscal year 20162017 consolidated net sales were $163.8$169.9 million compared to second quarter fiscal year 20152016 net sales of $151.4$163.8 million, or an 8%a 4% increase. Net sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 20152016 of $320.4$344.9 million also increased 8% from net sales of $295.9$320.4 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. TheIncreased volume was the primary driver while price increases and improved discounting contributed to a lesser extent to the net sales increases for both the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2017.
At the beginning of fiscal year 2017 we redefined our vertical market reporting to better reflect the end markets that we serve. The largest shifts among vertical markets were sales to certain government-affiliated customers such as state universities, which were previously classified in the government vertical market and are now classified in the education vertical market.  Prior period information was estimated to reflect the new vertical market definitions on a comparable basis.
For the second quarter and year-to-date periods were driven by sales increases in all vertical markets except the government vertical market. Increased volume and to a lesser extent the positive impactperiod of price increases drove the net sales increase.

hospitality vertical market sales increase was driven by increased new construction as well as renovations. Our educationnon-custom business. Each of our vertical market sales increased as we increase our focus in this area. The decline in sales to the government vertical market was driven by lower sales to the federal government. Vertical market sales levels can fluctuate depending on the mix of projects in a given period.
Open orders at December 31, 2016 decreased 2% when compared to the open order level as of December 31, 2015 in part due to lower day-to-day orders for office furniture and to a lesser extent due to normal variation in hospitality furniture orders resulting from the project nature of the business. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 we recorded net income of $8.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.23. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 we recorded net income from continuing operations of $6.5 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.17, inclusive of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, of after-tax restructuring charges.expenses.

Excluding these nonrecurring costs, our adjusted income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 improved to $7.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to adjusted income from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 of $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share.

Open orders at December 31, 2015 increased 5% when compared to the open order level as of December 31, 2014 as increased open orders for office furniture more than offset a decline in open orders for hospitality furniture. Open orders at a point in time may not be indicative of future sales trends.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 1.7 percentage30 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal year 20162017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 20152016 due to increased pricing, leverage on the higher sales volume, and benefits from our restructuring plan involving the transfer of metal fabrication production from Idaho into facilities in Indiana which were partially offset by higher employee benefits costs. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 0.9 of a percentage point60 basis points in the first six months of fiscal year 20162017 compared to the first six months of fiscal year 2015. The favorable impact of price increases, lower discounting, lower outbound freight, material cost savings, and the benefit of2016 due to increased pricing, leverage gained on higher sales volumes, were partially offset by an unfavorable shift in sales mix to lower margin productvolume, and higher warehousing and handling expenses related to higher inventory levels. In addition, labor productivity improvements at select units were offset by labor inefficiencies related to the transfer of productionbenefits from the Idaho manufacturing facility to our other manufacturing facilities.restructuring plan.
As a percent of net sales, selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 20162017 compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 20152016 decreased 3.5 percentage10 basis points and 4.0 percentage50 basis points, respectively, due to the increased sales volumes coupled with lower costs.volumes. In absolute dollars, selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter and first six monthsof fiscal year 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 increased 3.6% primarily due to higher expenditures related to marketing and growth initiatives, and higher commission expense resulting from the higher sales levels. In absolute dollars, selling and administrative expenses in the first half of fiscal year 2017 compared to the same periods of fiscal year 2015 decreased 5.0% and 6.4% primarily due to spin-off expenses of $1.7 million and $2.9 million incurred in the prior year second quarter and year-to-date period respectively. In addition, selling and administrative expenses declined due to the retirement of key executives as of the spin-off date. Partially offsetting the favorable variances, incentive compensation expense excluding the retirement of key executives increased in both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2016 comparedincreased 5.6% primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs as a result of higher earnings levels, higher expenditures related to marketing and growth initiatives, and higher commission expense resulting from the same periods of the prior year.higher sales levels.
In November 2014, we approvedannounced a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includesincluded the consolidation of our metal fabrication production from an operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana, and the reduction of our Company plane fleet from two jets to one. The jet was sold in the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, and as a result of the aircraft fleet reduction, we began realizing the expected pre-tax annual savings of $0.8 million. The remaining jet is primarily used for transporting customers to visit our showrooms, offices, research and development center, and manufacturing locations. The consolidation of our metal fabrication production is underwaywas substantially complete as of June 30, 2016. The facility and afterland was sold during our first quarter of fiscal year 2017, therefore the consolidation is complete, we anticipate annualyear-to-date period ended December 31, 2016 includes a pre-tax savingsrestructuring gain of $5$1.8 million perwhich included a gain on the sale of the facility and land of $2.1 million and was partially offset by restructuring expense of $0.3 million.

We recognized pre-tax restructuring expense related to continuing operations of $2.0 million and $3.2 million in the threefirst quarter and six monthsyear-to-date periods of fiscal year 2016, respectively. The improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and reduction of transportation costs are expected to generate pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million per year. For our second quarter and year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2015, respectively,2016, we achieved savings of approximately $1.3 million and recognized $3.3approximately $2.2 million, restructuring expense in both the three and six months ended December 31, 2014.respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the first halfsix months of fiscal year 2017 was 35.8% as higher taxable income generated a $0.5 million higher domestic manufacturing deduction than the prior year same period. Our effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 was 37.4% and did not include any material unusual items. Our effective tax rate for the first half of fiscal year 2015 of 56.0% was unfavorably impacted by a lower combined state tax rate post spin-off, requiring a $0.4 million unfavorable adjustment to deferred taxes which increased our fiscal 2015 year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate. In addition, a portion of our spin-off expenses which were nondeductible also unfavorably impacted the fiscal 2015 effective tax rate. The impact to our effective tax rate is magnified in periods when our pre-tax income is lower.
Comparing the balance sheet as of December 31, 20152016 to June 30, 2015, inventory levels2016, our short-term investments line increased as we began investing in available-for-sale securities including municipal bonds and certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market during fiscal year 2017. The assets held for sale line was reduced to support the manufacturing consolidation plan, higher sales levels, and select hospitality customer lead time requirements. Our accounts receivable balance decline was driven by variation in shipment levels shortly beforezero as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.2016 as we completed the sale of our Idaho facility during the first half of fiscal year 2017.

Working capital at December 31, 20152016 was $45.1$62.5 million compared to working capital of $44.4$52.8 million at June 30, 2015.2016. The current ratio was 1.51.6 at December 31, 20152016 and 1.41.5 at June 30, 2015.2016.

We had no short-termcredit facility borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 20152016 or June 30, 2015.2016. At December 31, 2016, we had $1.2 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility.
Cash Flows
Cash management was centralized prior to the spin-off, thus cash flows prior to the October 31, 2014 spin-off date include Kimball Electronics cash flows. Cash flows from discontinued operations are combined with cash flows from continuing operations within each cash flow statement category on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

our accounts receivable balance due to fluctuations in sales. The $7.5 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first half of fiscal year 2016 was primarily driven by fluctuations in our inventory balances. Inventorybalances as inventory levels increased $9.1 million primarily to support the manufacturing consolidation plan, higher sales levels, and customer lead time requirements. The $30.4 million usage of cash from changes in working capital balances in the first half of fiscal year 2015 was primarily driven by increases in our inventory and accounts receivable balances. Approximately half of the $18.0 million usage of cash for inventory was driven by increased inventory levels in our furniture operations while the remainder was related to inventory fluctuations of the discontinued EMS business prior to the spin date. The $10.3 million usage of cash from an increase in accounts receivable balance was primarily driven by the discontinued EMS business prior to spin date.


Our measure of accounts receivable performance, also referred to as Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”), for the six-month periodsperiod ended December 31, 2016 decreased to 27 days from 29 days for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was approximately 29 days and approximately 30 days, respectively.

We define DSO as the average of monthly trade accounts and notes receivable divided by an average day'sday’s net sales. Our Production Days Supply on Hand (“PDSOH”) of inventory measure for the six-month period ended December 31, 2015 increased2016 decreased to approximately 5347.0 days from approximately 4253.0 days from the six-month period ended December 31, 2014.2015. The PDSOH increasedecrease was driven by increasedefforts focused on reduction of inventory levels to support growth, customer lead time requirements, and by the completion of the manufacturing consolidation plan. For the pre-spin periods the amount is estimated on a continuing operations basis. We define PDSOH as the average of the monthly gross inventory divided by an average day'sday’s cost of sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the first half of fiscal year 2017 we invested $19.7 million in available-for-sale securities including municipal bonds and certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. During the first half of fiscal year 2017 we also received proceeds from the sale of assets net of selling expenses of $11.7 million, the majority of which relates to the sale of our Idaho facility. During the first six months of fiscal years 20162017 and 2015,2016, we reinvested $8.9$5.9 million and $19.4$8.9 million, respectively, into capital investments for the future. The capital investments during the first halfsix months of the current year were primarily for showroom renovations, various manufacturing equipment, and replacements of tractors and trailers in our fleet. The capital investments during the first six months of the prior year were primarily for facility improvements and manufacturing equipment. The capital investments during the first half of the prior year were primarily for manufacturing equipment in our discontinued EMS business and facility improvements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Kimball paid dividends of $4.0$4.3 million and $3.8$4.0 million in the six-month periods ended December 31, 20152016 and December 31, 2014,2015, respectively. Consistent with our historical dividend policy, the Company'sCompany’s Board of Directors evaluates the appropriate dividend payment on a quarterly basis. During the first halfsix months of fiscal yearyears 2017 and 2016, we repurchased shares pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program which drove cash outflow of $6.5 million and $9.7 million. During the first half of fiscal year 2015, Kimball transferred $63.0 million, of cash to Kimball Electronics in conjunction with the spin-off.respectively.
Credit Facility
We maintain a $30 million credit facility with a maturity date of October 2019 that allows for both issuances of letters of credit and cash borrowings. This facility provides an option to increase the amount available for borrowing to $55 million at our request, subject to the consent of the participating banks. At both December 31, 20152016 and June 30, 2015,2016, we had no short-term borrowings outstanding. At December 31, 2015,2016, we had $1.0$1.2 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our borrowing capacity on the credit facility.
The credit facility requires us to comply with certain debt covenants, the most significant of which are the adjusted leverage ratio and the fixed charge coverage ratio. The adjusted leverage ratio is defined as (a) consolidated total indebtedness minus unencumbered U.S. cash on hand in the U.S. in excess of $15,000,000 to (b) consolidated EBITDA, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the then most recently ended four fiscal quarters, to not be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as (a) the sum of (i) consolidated EBITDA, minus (ii) 50% of depreciation expense, minus (iii) taxes paid, minus (iv) dividends and distributions paid, to (b) the sum of (i) scheduled principal payments on indebtedness due and/or paid, plus (ii) interest expense, calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, determined as of the end of each of its fiscal quarters for the trailing four fiscal quarters then ending, to not be less than 1.10 to 1.00.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants of the credit facility during the six-month period ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Future Liquidity
We believe our principal sources of liquidity from available funds on hand, cash generated from operations, and the availability of borrowing under our credit facility will be sufficient to fund future dividends and meet our working capital and other operating needs for at least the next 12 months. We maywill continue to repurchase shares ifevaluate market conditions are favorable. in determining future share repurchases.


We also expect to continue to invest in capital expenditures prudently, particularly for projects, including potential acquisitions, that would enhance our capabilities and diversification while providing an opportunity for growth and improved profitability.
Our ability to generate cash from operations to meet our liquidity obligations could be adversely affected in the future by factors such as general economic and market conditions, lack of availability of raw material components in the supply chain, a decline in demand for our services, loss of key contract customers, including government subcontract customers, or potential fines and penalties that may result from the government’s review of our GSA subcontractor reporting, and other unforeseen circumstances. In particular, should demand for our products decrease significantly over the next 12 months, the available cash provided by operations could be adversely impacted.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This item contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company'scompany’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States in the statementstatements of income, statementstatements of comprehensive income, balance sheet,sheets, or statementstatements of cash flows of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this item include (1) operating income excluding spin-off expenses and restructuring charges;gain/expense; (2) net income from continuing operations excluding spin-off expenses and restructuring charges;gain/expense; and (3) diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding spin-off expenses and restructuring charges.gain/expense. Reconciliations of the reported GAAP numbers to these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the table below. Management believes it is useful for investors to understand how its core operations performed without spin-offgains or expenses and costs incurred in executing its restructuring plans. Excluding these amounts allows investors to meaningfully trend, analyze, and benchmark the performance of the Company'sCompany’s core operations. Many of the Company'sCompany’s internal performance measures that management uses to make certain operating decisions exclude these chargesgains/expenses to enable meaningful trending of core operating metrics. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative to the GAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information.

The open orders metric is a key performance indicator representing firm orders placed by our customers which have not yet been fulfilled and are expected to be recognized as revenue during future quarters. The timing of shipments can vary, but generally open orders are expected to ship within a twelve-month period.



Fair Value
During the second quarteryear-to-date period of fiscal year 2016,2017, no financial instruments were affected by a lack of market liquidity. Our financial instruments are categorized asFor level 1 financial assets, and are valued using readily available market pricing.pricing was used to value the financial instruments. For commercial paper and available-for-sale securities classified as level 2 assets, the fair values are determined based on market data which use evaluated pricing models and incorporate available trade, bid, and other market information. We evaluated the inputs used to value the instruments and validated the accuracy of the instrument fair values based on historical evidence. The investment in stock warrants of a privately-held company is classified as a level 3 financial asset and is accounted for as a derivative instrument valued on a recurring basis whereby the stock warrants are analyzed for reasonableness on a quarterly basis.
Kimball also holds non-marketable equity securities of a privately-held company, classified as a level 3 financial asset. The investment in non-marketable equity securities is accounted for as a cost-method investment which carries the securities at cost, except in the event of impairment.
See Note 8 - Fair Value of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to Kimball'sKimball’s summary of contractual obligations under the caption, “Contractual Obligations” in Item 7 “Management's“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to standby letters of credit, atwo performance bond,bonds, and operating leases entered into in the normal course of business. These arrangements do not have a material current effect and are not reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. See Note 65 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the standby letters of credit.credit and performance bonds. We do not have material exposures to trading activities of non-exchange traded contracts.
The preceding statements are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Kimball'sKimball’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management uses its best judgment incontinually reviews the assumptions used to value these estimates, which are based

26



on current facts and circumstances, prior experience, and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflectand financial information disclosures. A summary of the more significant accounting policies that require the use of estimates and judgments and estimates used in preparation of our condensed consolidatedpreparing the financial statements and areis provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the policies that are most criticalfiscal year ended June 30, 2016. During the first six months of fiscal 2017, there were no material changes in the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.assumptions previously disclosed.
Revenue recognition — We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer according to the terms of the contract. Title and risk of loss are transferred upon shipment to or receipt at our customers’ locations, or in limited circumstances, as determined by other specific sales terms of the transaction. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales while the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. We recognize sales net of applicable sales tax.
Sales returns and allowances — Based on estimated product returns and price concessions, a reserve for returns and allowances is recorded at the time of the sales, resulting in a reduction of revenue. These estimates may change over time causing the provisions to be adjusted accordingly. At both December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the reserve for returns and allowances was $0.8 million. The returns and allowances reserve approximated 1% to 2% of gross trade receivables during the two-year period preceding December 31, 2015.
Allowance for doubtful accounts — Our estimate for the allowance for credit losses on trade accounts receivable and notes receivable includes analysis of such items as aging, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Management uses these specific analyses in conjunction with an evaluation of the general economic and market conditions to determine the final allowance for credit losses on the trade accounts receivable and notes receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the two-year period preceding December 31, 2015, this reserve approximated 1% of gross trade accounts receivable prior to the spin-off, and approximated 2% to 4% of post-spin gross trade accounts receivable.
Self-insurance reserves — We are self-insured up to certain limits for auto and general liability, workers' compensation, and certain employee health benefits such as medical, short-term disability, and dental with the related liabilities included in the accompanying financial statements. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims, and other analyses, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Changes in assumptions for such matters as increased medical costs and changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change and reserve levels to be adjusted accordingly. At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, our accrued liabilities for self-insurance exposure were $3.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
Taxes — Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our deferred tax assets. If recovery is not likely, we provide a valuation allowance based on our best estimate of future taxable income in the various taxing jurisdictions and the amount of deferred taxes ultimately realizable. Future events could change management's assessment.
We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. However, we believe we have made adequate provision for income and other taxes for all years that are subject to audit. As tax positions are effectively settled, the tax provision will be adjusted accordingly. The liability for uncertain income tax and other tax positions, including accrued interest and penalties on those positions, was $2.9 million at both December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained within this document are considered forward-looking under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements may be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “seeks,” “likely,” “future,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the successful completionoutcome of the restructuring plan,a governmental review of our subcontractor reporting practices, adverse changes in the global economic conditions, increased global competition, significant reduction in customer order patterns, loss of key customers or suppliers, financial stability of key customers and suppliers, relationships with strategic customers and product distributors, availability or cost of raw materials and components, increased competitive pricing pressures reflecting excess industry capacities, changes in the regulatory environment,


or similar unforeseen events. Additional cautionary statements regarding other risk factors that could have an effect on the future performance of Kimball are contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.2016.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 we began to invest available cash into an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities, comprised of municipal bonds and certificates of deposit purchased in the secondary market. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the investment portfolio was $18.8 million. Our investment policy dictates that municipal bonds must be investment grade quality, and all certificates of deposit are FDIC insured. These securities are fixed income instruments and will decline in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in an annual period in market interest rates from levels at December 31, 2016 would cause the fair value of these investments to decline by an immaterial amount. Further information on investments is provided in Note 9 - Investments of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We also hold a total investment of $1.3 million in a privately-held company, consisting of $0.5 million in non-marketable equity securities invested during fiscal year 2016, and $0.8 million in stock warrants invested during the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The fair value of the investment may fluctuate due to events and changes in circumstances, but we have incurred no impairment during the six months ended December 31, 2016.
There have been no material changes to other market risks, including commodity risk and foreign currency risk, from the information disclosed in Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Kimball maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of December 31, 20152016, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b)Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no changes in Kimball'sKimball’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 20152016 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
