FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. NOTES (UNAUDITED) 1. These financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. 2. The inventories are categorized as follows: September 30, June 30, 1999 1999 ------------- ------------- Raw materials .......................... $ 15,351,264 $ 15,871,466 Work in process and finished parts ..... 8,045,245 7,416,826 Finished goods ......................... 7,391,925 6,214,917 ------------- ------------- Total ......................... $ 30,788,434 $ 29,503,209 ============= ============= 3. In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statement No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully dilated earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been presented and, where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements.

FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS Results of Operations: Three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to three months ended September 30, 1998. The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the Company's results of operations on a comparative basis for the first quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company's net sales. First Quarters Ended September 30, -------------------- 1999 1998 --------- -------- Net Sales ........................................ 100.0% 100.0% Cost of Goods Sold ............................... 77.8 78.1 ------ ------ Gross Margin ..................................... 22.2 21.9 Selling, General and Administrative Expense ...... 16.7 17.6 ------ ------ Operating Income ................................. 5.5 4.3 Other Income, Net ................................ 0.1 0.4 ------ ------ Income Before Income Taxes ....................... 5.6 4.7 Income Tax Expense ............................... 2.1 1.7 ------ ------ Net Income ....................................... 3.5% 3.0% ====== ====== Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 increased by $7,647,000 or 13% compared to the prior year quarter. Residential sales volume increased $3,644,000 or 10%. Recreational vehicle seating sales increased $4,316,000 or 22%. Commercial seating volume decreased $313,000 or 6%. Gross margin increased $1,879,207 to $15,029,521 or 22.2% of net sales, in the current year, from $13,150,314 or 21.9% in the prior year. The gross margin increase was due primarily to improved utilization of available production capacity. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.7% and 17.6% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost percentage decrease was due to control of SG&A costs in relation to the higher sales volume. The above factors resulted in current fiscal year earnings of $2,364,690 or $0.36 per diluted share compared to $1,794,903 or $0.26 per diluted share in the prior year, a net increase of $569,787 or $0.10 per share. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Working capital at September 30, 1999 is $51,027,000 which includes cash, cash equivalents and investments of $10,441,000. Working capital increased by $817,000 from the June 30, 1999 amount. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,691,000 during the quarter compared to an increase of $1,006,000 in the prior year quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $298,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2000 versus $3,343,000 in 1999. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from increases in accounts receivable and inventory, reflecting the increased sales and production volume, and higher income tax payments, offset by improved net income.

Capital expenditures were $2,223,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2000 and $1,175,000 in 1999. The current year expenditures were incurred primarily for manufacturing equipment and delivery equipment. During the next nine months approximately $4,000,000 will be spent on manufacturing and delivery equipment, and an expansion project in Riverside, CA. The funds for projected capital expenditures are expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and available cash. The Company has repurchased 398,600 shares of its common stock under a plan approved November 4, 1998 authorizing the repurchase of up to 700,000 shares. During the quarter ended September 30, 1999 the Company repurchased 35,000 shares of its common stock. Year 2000 Issue - The Company developed a plan to identify and modify its computer information systems to ensure that transactions will be properly processed on and after January 1, 2000. The Company also reviewed its computer-dependent manufacturing activities to identify areas of concern related to the year 2000 issues. The plan has been completed and tested. The Company believes that it is prepared internally for January 1, 2000. The internal conversion costs were not material to the Company's financial position or operations. None of the Company's other information technology projects have been delayed due to the implementation of the year 2000 plan. As a part of the Company's contingency plan for year 2000 issues, the Company will continue testing each of the major systems. The Company continues to communicate with major suppliers to emphasize that operations must continue without interruption through January 1, 2000, and beyond. However, there can be no assurances that systems of other companies, on which the Company's systems rely, will be converted in a timely manner or that any failure to convert by another company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to conduct operations. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to goals and expectations of the Company, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders. Statements, including those in this report, which are not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are certain important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made herein. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty. Some of the factors that could affect results are the effectiveness of new product introductions, the product mix of our sales, the cost of raw materials, the amount of sales generated and the profit margins thereon or volatility in the major markets, competition and general economic conditions. The Company specifically declines to undertake any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
