Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Plan Administrator
Harman International Industries, Incorporated
     Retirement Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Harman International Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of June 26, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Harman International Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan as of June 26, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATED
RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

June 26, 2004 and 2003

(1)        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

           (a)         Basis of Presentation

                       The accompanying financial statements of the Harman International Industries,
                        Incorporated (the Company) Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) have been presented on
                        an accrual basis and present the net assets available for Plan benefits and changes in
                        those net assets. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 financial
                        statements to conform to the presentation of the 2004 financial statements.

            (b)        Investments

                       The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Shares of registered investment
                       companies and mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net
                       asset value of shares held by the Plan at year‑end. The Company stock is valued at its
                       quoted market price. The investment in the collective trust is limited to guaranteed
                       investments contracts issued by insurance companies, banks, or other financial
                       institutions. These investments are stated at estimated fair value. Unit value is determined
                       by dividing the fund’s net asset value by the units outstanding at valuation dates.

                       Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade‑date basis. Interest income is
                       recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex‑dividend date.

            (c)        Use of Estimates

                       Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating
                       to the reporting of net assets and the changes in net assets and the disclosure of
                       contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with
                       accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results
                       could differ from these estimates.

9

            (d)        Payment of Benefits

                       Benefits are recorded when paid.

            (e)        Administrative Expenses

                        Administrative expenses are paid by the Plan unless paid by the Company, the Plan's
                        Sponsor.

            (f)        Risks and Uncertainties

                        The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds and common stock of
                         the Company. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate,
                         market, and credit. Due to the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of
                         investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the various risk
                         factors, in the near term, could materially affect participants’ account balances and the
                         amounts reported in the financial statements.

(2)        Plan Description

            The Plan dated effective as of July 27, 2000, as amended, amends and restates the
            Harman International Industries, Incorporated Retirement Savings Plan. The Plan is
            subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
            (ERISA).

            The Plan is a defined contribution savings and profit sharing plan sponsored by the
            Company. The Plan covers all eligible employees, as defined by the Plan, provided they
            have completed six months of consecutive service and have worked 500 hours.

            The following description provides only general information. Participants should refer to
            the Plan agreement for a more complete description.

            (a)        Contributions

                        Participants in the Plan may contribute on a tax‑deferred basis from 1% to 50% of their
                        compensation, as defined by the Plan. Participants may change their deferral percentage
                        as of the first payroll period following the quarterly valuation date. The Company has
                        made annual basic contributions equal to 3% of the compensation paid to all eligible
                        participants, and a matching contribution equal to 50% of the eligible participant’s
                        tax‑deferred contribution percentage for each payroll period up to a maximum election
                        of 6% per payroll period. In addition, the Company may make discretionary profit
                        sharing contributions to the Plan in an amount determined by the Company’s Board of
                        Directors.  For the Plan years ended June 26, 2004 and 2003, the Board of Directors
                        approved profit sharing contributions of up to 2.5% of each eligible participant’s
                        compensation.

10

            (b)        Vesting

                        Participants are 100% vested in their salary deferral contribution, employer’s basic
                        contribution, and rollover contribution accounts, and become vested in profit sharing and
                        matching contributions at the rate of 25% per year after the completion of two years of
                        service, or 100% after reaching age 65, death, or disability.

            (c)        Investment Options

                        Plan participants direct contributions in any increment in any of the investment options.
                        The options consist of Company common stock, the Putnam Stable Value Fund, the
                        Putnam Money Market Fund, and 14 mutual funds.

            (d)        Participant Account Balances

                       Separate accounts are maintained for each participant’s salary deferral, rollover,
                       employer profit sharing, basic, and matching contribution balances. Earnings or losses of
                       the Plan are allocated to the participant account balances by investment fund on a daily
                       basis according to the number of shares in the participant account balances. Company
                       profit sharing and basic contributions are allocated based on participant compensation.
                       Company matching contributions are allocated based upon each participant’s
                       tax‑deferred contribution percentage.

            (e)        Benefits

                       Upon separation from service, retirement at age 65, disability retirement, or death,
                        participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to receive their vested balances in a
                        lump‑sum distribution. However, participants from prior merged plans, whose plans
                       allowed distributions of plan benefits to be made in forms other than lump‑sum, may
                       elect payment of benefit balances which were available prior to the mergers.
                       Contributions made subsequent to the merger may only be distributed in a lump‑sum
                       payment.

            (f)        Forfeitures

                       All distributions from the Plan shall commence as soon as practicable after the
                       participant’s termination date, and all unvested amounts shall be forfeited as of the date
                       of distribution. Amounts forfeited by Plan participants are used to reduce the employer
                       contributions.

11

                       Amounts provisionally forfeited will be restored if the participant returns to service prior
                       to the occurrence of a 60‑consecutive‑month period of separation.

(3)        Investments

            Investments (with investments in excess of 5% of net assets as of the beginning of the
            year separately identified) were as follows:

		June 26
Description		2004		2003
The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income	$	20,951,954		18,629,287

	$	210,328,541		143,081,971

*   Less than 5% of Plan's net assets, included for comparative purposes.

		2004		2003
Mutual funds	$	10,148,517		1,318,033
Common stock		45,492,393		14,111,301
Total	$	55,640,910		15,429,334

(4)       Plan Merger

        Effective December 31, 2003, the board of directors of the Company approved a resolution to
        merge the Margi Systems, Inc. 401(k) Plan into the Plan. The accompanying statement of changes
        in net assets available for Plan benefits reflects the transfer in of net assets of this merged plan in
        the amount of $586,551.

12

(5)       Plan Termination

        Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to
        discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of
        ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their
        employer contributions.

(6)       Tax Status

        The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated
        August 14, 2003 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections
        of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the
        determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is
        designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
        IRC.
