Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Harman International Industries, Incorporated is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to
provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and the fair
presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. In making
this assessment, we used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”) in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework.” Our assessment included an evaluation of
such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process
documentation, accounting policies, overall control environment and information systems control environment.
Based on our assessment, we have concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of June 30, 2010, has been audited by
KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), an independent registered public accounting firm. KPMG’s report on our internal
controls over financial reporting is included herein.
