DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel” or “Our”) is one of the largest manufacturers, importers, and online marketers of furniture products in the United States. Product offerings include a wide variety of furniture such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, occasional tables, desks, dining tables and chairs, and bedroom furniture. A featured component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which the name “Flexsteel” is derived.

COVID-19 - In March 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. This pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, and led to significant travel and transportation restrictions, including mandatory business closures and orders to shelter in place. The Company’s business operations and financial performance for the fiscal year 2020 were impacted by COVID-19. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company saw improvement in our business conditions as retailers reopened and orders increased, however, we continued to see supply chain challenges faced by the furniture industry due to the limited availability of ocean containers and significant increases in ocean container rates, limited availability and inflationary pressures in key materials, and labor shortages both in Asia and the United States. These supply chain issues have continued during the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2021.2022. The COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the extent of the impact on our business may be significant, however, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The amendments in this guidance were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.

4. LEASES
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires lessees to (i) recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and a lease liability that is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) recognize a single lease cost, calculated over the lease term on a straight-line basis and (iii) classify lease-related cash payments within operating and financing activities. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and all non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, were excluded. At any given time during the lease term, the lease liability represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the ROU asset is measured as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for pre-paid rent, unamortized initial direct costs, and the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Both the lease ROU asset and liability are reduced to zero at the end of the lease term.
The Company leases distribution centers and warehouses, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and office space. At the lease inception date, the Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains a lease. Some of the Company’s leases include options to renew at similar terms. The Company assesses these options to determine if the Company is reasonably certain of exercising these options based on relevant economic and financial factors. Options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at the lease commencement date.
On August 20, 2021, Flexsteel entered into a lease agreement for the construction of a 507,830 square foot manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico. The lease commencement date under ASC 842 guidance will be AprilMay 1, 2022, the date the lessor makes the building available for use by the Company for purposes of completing any leasehold improvements required by the Company prior to beginning operations. The 12-year lease term begins on June 1, 2022, and ends on May 31, 2034, with options for two five-year extensions. The annual base rent under the lease is $3.1 million-plus taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance costs.
On September 28, 2021, Flexsteel entered into a warehousing agreement, a component of which meets the definition of a lease under ASC 842. The lease component includes a 241,920 square foot facility in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and all improvements and equipment necessary to operate the facility. The lease commencement date is October 1, 2021, the date the building became available for use by the Company. The 125-month lease term began on October 1, 2021, and ends on February 28, 2034, with an option for a 5-year extension. The annual base rent under the lease is $1.8 million-plus taxes, insurance, utilities, and common area maintenance costs.
For purposes of measuring the Company’s ROU asset and lease liability, the discount rate utilized by the Company was based on the average interest rates effective for the Company’s line of credit. Some of the Company’s leases contain variable rent payments, including common area maintenance and utilities. Due to the variable nature of these costs, they are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock include the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options, shares associated with the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, and non-vested restricted stock units and restricted shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options, restricted stock
units, and restricted shares using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive options are not included in the computation of diluted EPS
when their exercise price is greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. In computing EPS for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, there are no dilutive shares as the company reported a net loss.

10. LITIGATION
Environmental Matters – In March 2016, the Company received a General Notice Letter for the Lane Street Groundwater Superfund Site (the “Lane Street Site”) located in Elkhart, Indiana from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In April 2016, the EPA issued their proposed clean-up plan for groundwater pollution and request for public comment. The Company responded to the request for public comment in May 2016. The EPA issued a Record of Decision selecting a remedy in August 2016 and estimated total costs to remediate of $3.6 million. In July 2017, the EPA issued a Special Notice Letter to the Company demanding that the Company perform the remedy selected and pay for the remediation cost and past response costs of $5.5 million. On October 12, 2017, the Company, after consultation with its insurance carriers, offered an amount, fully reimbursable by insurance coverage, to the EPA to resolve this matter. On November 6, 2017, the settlement offer extended on October 12, 2017, was rejected.
In April 2018, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order for Remedial Design and Remedial Action (the “Order”) against the Company. The Order was issued under Section 106(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. §9606(a). The Order directs the Company to perform remedial design and remedial action for the Lane Street Site. The Order was to be effective May 29, 2018. To ensure completion of the remediation work, the EPA required the Company to secure financial assurance in the initial amount of $3.6 million, which as noted above, is the estimated cost of remedial work. The Company believes that financial assurance is not required because it meets the relevant financial test criteria as provided in the Order. In May 2018, the EPA agreed to suspend enforcement of the Order so that the Company could conduct environmental testing upgradient to its former manufacturing location pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC). On April 24, 2019, the Company signed an AOC with the EPA to conduct the upgradient investigation. The Company negotiated site access to the upgradient property over a period of months in 2019, followed by completion of sampling activities on that property on September 28-29, 2019. Following multiple exchanges from November 2019 through early 2020, the Company submitted a final and supplemental report to the EPA regarding the results of the upgradient investigation on June 17, 2020. Through an agreement with the EPA, the statute of limitations for potential claims by the EPA was extended through February 28,June 30, 2022. The Company reflected a $3.6 million liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Despite the Company’s position that it did not cause nor contribute to the contamination, the Company continues to reflect this liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2022, in accordance with FASB issued Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410-30). The Company continues to evaluate the Order, its legal options, and insurance coverages to assert its defense and recovery of current and future expenses related to this matter.
Other Proceedings – From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
GENERAL
The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Statement Regarding the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) on March 11, 2020, declared novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. During the three and sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2022, we saw improvement in our business conditions, however, we continued to see supply chain challenges faced by the furniture industry due to limited availability of ocean containers and significant increases in ocean container rates, limited availability and inflationary pressures in key materials, and labor shortages both in Asia and the United States. The COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid because of the evolution of COVID-19 variants, and the extent of the ongoing impact on our business may be significant, however, we are unable to predict the extent or nature of these impacts at this time.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and equity prices. As discussed below, the management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, disruptions associated with shipping distances, and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties, tariffs, and taxes on imports; and significant fluctuation in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies. Any of these factors could interrupt supply, decrease sales, increase costs and decrease earnings.
Foreign Currency Risk – During the quarters ended DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2022, and 2020,2021, the Company did not have sales, but had purchases and other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices is not considered significant.
Interest Rate Risk – The Company’s primary market risk exposure regarding financial instruments is changes in interest rates. On DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $59.7$41.6 million outstanding on its line of credit, exclusive of fees and letters of credit.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
