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, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2001. 2. The inventories are categorized as follows: September 30, June 30, 2000 2000 ------------------ -------------- Raw materials................................................. $ 15,060,363 $ 16,711,084 Work in process and finished parts............................ 8,592,283 9,125,346 Finished goods................................................ 8,762,185 6,619,628 ----------------- -------------- Total.................................... $ 32,414,831 $ 32,456,058 ================= ============== 3. Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share of common stock takes into effect the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company's only potential common shares outstanding are stock options, which resulted in a dilutive effect of 64,645 shares, and 112,368 shares in quarters ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. 4. ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS - In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The FAS subsequently issued FAS No. 137 delaying the effective date for one year, to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company adopted this standard on July 1, 2000 and there was no impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 5. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS Results of Operations: Three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to three months ended September 30, 1999. 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, 2000 and 1999. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company's net sales. First Quarter Ended September 30, ------------------------- 2000 1999 ----------- ---------- Net Sales............................................................... 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of Goods Sold...................................................... 78.2 77.8 ----------- ---------- Gross Margin............................................................ 21.8 22.2 Selling, General and Administrative Expense............................. 17.7 16.9 ----------- ---------- Operating Income........................................................ 4.1 5.3 Other Income, Net....................................................... 0.4 0.3 ----------- ---------- Income Before Income Taxes.............................................. 4.5 5.6 Income Tax Expense...................................................... 1.7 2.1 ----------- ---------- Net Income.............................................................. 2.8 % 3.5 % =========== ========== Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 decreased by $1,058,000 or 2% compared to the prior year quarter. Residential sales volume increased $5,180,000 or 13%. Recreational vehicle seating sales decreased $6,434,000 or 27%. Commercial seating volume increased $196,000 or 4%. The increased demand for residential products was more than offset by the substantial decline in demand for recreational vehicle seating products. The decreased demand for recreational seating products appears to be caused by several factors, including higher interest rates, the instability of fuel costs and a high buildup of inventory in prior quarters by suppliers. Gross margin decreased $516,000 to $14,513,000 or 21.8% of net sales in the current year, from $15,030,000 or 22.2% in the prior year. The decline in gross margin reflects the lower production volume associated with vehicle seating products which resulted in reduced absorption of fixed costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 17.7% and 16.9% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost percentage increase was due to the fixed portion of SG&A costs in relation to the lower sales volume. The above factors resulted in current fiscal year net income of $1,882,000 or $0.30 per diluted share compared to $2,365,000 or $0.36 per diluted share in the prior year, a decrease of $483,000 or $0.06 per diluted share. Liquidity and Capital Resources: Working capital at September 30, 2000 is $52,695,000 which includes cash, cash equivalents and investments of $6,245,000. Working capital increased by $619,000 from the June 30, 2000 amount. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,593,000 during the quarter compared to a decrease of $2,691,000 in the prior year quarter. Net cash used by operating activities was $103,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2001 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $298,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulted from increases in accounts receivable and a decrease in current liabilities.

Capital expenditures were $2,321,000 during the first three months of fiscal year 2001 and $2,223,000 in 2000. The current year expenditures were incurred primarily for manufacturing equipment and delivery equipment. During the next nine months approximately $2,700,000 will be spent on manufacturing and delivery equipment. The funds for projected capital expenditures are expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and available cash. The Company has repurchased shares of its common stock under plans approved by the Company's Board of Directors. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000 the Company repurchased 12,500 shares of its common stock. At September 30, 2000, under existing authorizations, the Company may repurchase 192,878 shares.
