                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Salaried Employees' Savings Plan 401(k):

            We have audited the combining statements of financial position of
the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Salaried Employees' Savings Plan 401(k) (the
"Plan") as of June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the related combining statements of
income and changes in plan equity for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1999. 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 generally accepted
auditing standards. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Plan as of June 30, 1999 and
1998, and the results of its operations for each of the three years in the
period ended June 30, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements 5 FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. SALARIED EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN 401(k) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1) PLAN DESCRIPTION The Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Salaried Employees' Savings Plan 401(k) (the "Plan") was established effective July 1, 1985 by Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the "Company"). The Plan is available to certain salaried, salesmen and office employees that have one year of eligible service and have reached the age of twenty-one. Participation is voluntary. The Plan allows eligible employees to elect to have from 1% to 14% (salesmen are subject to a 4% maximum) of their basic pre-tax pay contributed to the Plan. Employee contributions are subject to a maximum of $10,000 in calendar year 1999 by law. The Company contributes an amount equal to 25% of the first 4% of pay the employee contributes. Participant and Company basic contributions are 100% vested. The Company, at its option, may also contribute additional amounts to be allocated amongst all participants based on the participants' pay; such additional company contributions vest over 7 years (20% after 3 years, 40% after 4 years, 60% after 5 years, 80% after 6 years, and 100% after 7 years). Plan participants direct their contributions to any of the eight investment accounts available: 1) The FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. COMMON STOCK FUND, which consists of the Company's common stock. 2) A COMMON STOCK FUND, which consists of common stock and other equity securities, and also may include short-term money market instruments, cash or cash equivalents. 3) A GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT, which is an insurance company account that provides a guaranteed interest rate for a five-year period. 4) A PRIVATE MARKET BOND AND MORTGAGE ACCOUNT, which is an insurance company account that provides for competitive yield debt securities. 5) A STOCK INDEX FUND, which is a pooled investment account invested in the common stock of those firms included in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. 6) A MONEY MARKET ACCOUNT, which is an insurance company account primarily invested in commercial paper with maturities of one year or less. 7) An INTERNATIONAL STOCK ACCOUNT, which invests in stocks of companies in Western Europe and Asia. 8) A SMALL COMPANY STOCK FUND, which invests in stocks of relatively smaller companies. Assets of the Plan are held by a "Custodian," the Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company, except for the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Common Stock Fund that is held by the American Trust & Savings Bank of Dubuque, Iowa (the "Trustee"). The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. Distributions are paid upon retirement, termination of employment, death, disability, or in hardship cases. Non-vested contributions revert to the Company upon termination of employment. Upon termination of the Plan, participant accounts become fully vested and non-forfeitable. At June 30, 1999 the Plan had 523 participants, of which there were 190 participants in the Flexsteel Industries, Inc. Common Stock Fund, 398 participants in the Common Stock Fund, 390 participants in the Guaranteed Interest Accounts, 207 participants in the Private Market Bond and Mortgage Account, 155 participants in the Stock Index Fund, 83 participants in the Money Market Account, 229 participants in the International Stock Fund, and 255 participants in the Small Company Stock Fund. 2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Plan uses the accrual basis of accounting. Investments in common stock are recorded at the market value based on market quotations. Other investments are stated at market value as determined by the Trustee and Custodian based on the market value of the funds and the participation in each fund. The cost of investments sold is determined by the average cost method. 6 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3) INCOME TAXES The Plan has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan is exempt from Federal income taxes. Participants are not taxed currently on their contributions or on Company contributions to the Plan. Distributions to participants generally are subject to Federal and State income tax at the time of distribution; certain distributions may receive more favorable tax treatment. 4) NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) IN FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the investment accounts is as follows:
