PART I

Item 1.

Business

General

Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) was incorporated in 1929 and is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of residential, recreational vehicle, hospitality and healthcare upholstered and wooden furniture products in the country. The Company’s primary business is the design, manufacture and sale of a broad line of quality upholstered furniture for residential, commercial, and recreational vehicle seating use. Product offerings include a wide variety of wood and upholstered 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. The Company’s products are intended for use in home, office, motor home, travel trailer, yacht, health care and hotel applications. Featured as a basic component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique drop-in-seat spring. The Company primarily distributes its products throughout the United States through the Company’s sales force to approximately 3,000 furniture dealers, department stores, recreational vehicle manufacturers, and hospitality and healthcare facilities. The Company’s products are also sold to several national and regional chains, some of which sell on a private label basis.

The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (1) Desert Dreams, Inc. owns and leases a commercial building to an unrelated entity, and (2) DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”), acquired effective September 17, 2003, is a Louisville, Kentucky-based, vertically integrated manufacturer, importer, and marketer of residential and commercial office furniture with four manufacturing plants and warehouses in Indiana and manufacturing sources in Asia. DMI’s divisions are WYNWOOD, Homestyles and DMI Commercial Office Furniture. A third wholly-owned subsidiary, Four Seasons, Inc., operated retail furniture stores until their closure in November 2003.

During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company operated in two reportable operating segments: (1) Furniture Products (formerly known as Seating Products) and (2) Retail Stores. The Furniture Products segment involves the distribution of manufactured and imported products consisting of a broad line of upholstered and wooded furniture for residential, recreational vehicle, and commercial markets. The Company’s products are sold primarily throughout the United States by the Company’s internal sales force and various independent representatives. The Retail Stores segment involves the operation of retail furniture stores that offered the Company’s residential products for sale directly to consumers. The retail operations were discontinued in November 2003. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of sales in either of the Company’s two segments.

The Company’s furniture products have three primary areas of application — residential, recreational vehicle and commercial. Set forth below is information for the past three fiscal years showing the Company’s net sales attributable to each of the areas of application (in thousands):

	FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30,

	2004		2003		2002

Residential	$	266,300	$	194,000	$	193,200
Recreational Vehicle		85,400		75,600		67,900
Commercial		49,500		22,400		18,600

	$	401,200	$	292,000	$	279,700

Strategy

The Company continues to pursue and refine a “blended” strategy, offering customers fully manufactured goods, products manufactured utilizing imported component parts, and ready-to-deliver imported products. The Company believes that it best serves customers by offering products from each of these categories to assist customers in reaching specific consumers with varied price points, styles and product categories. This blended focus on products allows the Company to provide a wide range of options to satisfy customer requirements.

Seasonality

The Company’s business is not considered seasonal.

Foreign Operations

The Company makes minimal export sales. The Company has no foreign manufacturing operations. At June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately 75 employees located in Asia to inspect and coordinate the delivery of purchased products.

Customer Backlog

The approximate backlog of customer orders believed to be firm as of the end of the current fiscal year and the prior two fiscal years were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2004		June 30, 2003		June 30, 2002
$	44,700 *	$	29,100	$	30,000

*This entire amount is expected to be filled in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005.

Raw Materials

The Company’s furniture products utilize various species of hardwood lumber obtained from Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri and elsewhere. In addition to hardwood lumber and engineered wood products, principal raw materials utilized in the manufacturing process include finishing materials, bar and wire stock, high carbon spring steel, fabrics, leather and polyurethane. While the Company purchases these materials from outside suppliers, it is not dependent upon any single source of supply. The costs of certain raw materials are increasing, however, all continue to be readily available.

Industry Factors

A petition filed by the American Furniture Manufacturers Committee of Legal Trade in October 2003 resulted in proposed tariffs on wooden bedroom furniture manufactured in the People’s Republic of China ranging from 4.9% to 198.1%. The U.S. Department of Commerce is finalizing the application of the tariffs based on the U.S. Department of Commerce ruling issued in June 2004. A final determination related to the tariffs will be issued no later than December 23, 2004 by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The final determination may increase, decrease or eliminate the tariffs initially established by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s preliminary determination. Tariffs are subject to annual review by the U.S. Department of Commence. The tariffs are applied at differing rates to the various manufacturers supplying products to the Company. The Company is reviewing alternate sources of product supply to minimize the potential impact of the tariffs. The tariff applies to less than 6% of the Company’s net sales.

Trademarks, Patents and Licenses

The Company owns the American and Canadian improvement patents to its Flexsteel seat spring, as well as patents on convertible beds and various other recreational vehicle seating products. In addition, the Company holds licenses to manufacture certain rocker-recliners. The Company owns certain trademarks in connection with its furniture products, which trademarks are due to expire on dates ranging from 2005 to 2018. The Company does not consider its trademarks, patents and licenses material to its business.

It is not common in the furniture industry to obtain a patent for a furniture design. If a particular design of a furniture manufacturer is well accepted in the marketplace, it is common for other manufacturers to imitate the same design without recourse by the furniture manufacturer who initially introduced the design. The Company often engages independent designers to work in conjunction with its own personnel in designing furniture products.

Furniture products are designed by the Company’s own design staff and through the services of independent designers. New models and designs of furniture, as well as new fabrics, are introduced continuously. The Company estimates that approximately 30% of its furniture products line is redesigned in whole or in part each year. In the last three fiscal years, these redesign activities involved the following expenditures (in thousands):

Fiscal Year Ended June 30,		Expenditures
2004		$2,880
2003		$2,660
2002		$1,970

Competition

The furniture industry is highly competitive. There are numerous furniture manufactures and importers in the United States. Although the Company is one of the largest manufacturers of upholstered furniture in the United States, according to the Company’s best information, it manufactures and sells less than 2% of the upholstered furniture sold in the United States. The Company’s principal method of meeting competition is by emphasizing its product performance and to use its sales force.

Employees

The Company had approximately 2,600, 2,300, and 2,300 employees as of June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, including approximately 1,000 employees that are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management believes it has good relations with employees.

Item 7.

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 Flexsteel Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this document.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations are based on consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported results. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Use of estimates – the Company uses estimates based on the best information available in recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations. Estimates are used for such items as collectability of trade accounts receivable, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, self-insurance programs, restructuring costs, pension benefits, warranty costs, income taxes, and revenue recognition.

Allowance for doubtful accounts – the Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts through review of open accounts, and historical collection and allowances amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is intended to reduce trade accounts receivable to the amount that reasonably approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements based on collection experience and actual returns and allowances.

Inventories – the Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Raw steel, lumber and wood frame parts are valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Changes in the market conditions could require a write down of inventory.

Valuation of long-lived assets – the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets and estimated depreciable or amortizable lives for continued appropriateness. This review is based upon projections of anticipated future cash flows and is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that asset carrying values may not be recoverable or that the estimated depreciable or amortizable lives may have changed. These evaluations could result in a change in estimated useful lives in future periods.

Self-insurance programs – the Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $150,000 per plan year, with a $1.0 million individual lifetime maximum. For workers’ compensation the Company retains the first $300,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. The Company is contingently liable to insurance carriers under its comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability policies, as well as some workers’ compensation. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability of claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience. The actual claims experience could differ from the estimates made by the Company.

Pension benefits – the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to pension benefits under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan are determined based on actuarial assumptions. A significant assumption used in determining net pension cost is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Another significant estimate that affects pension cost is the discount rate used in the annual actuarial valuation of pension benefits. The discount rate represents the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future cash flows required to settle the pension obligations. To the extent the assumed discount rate decreases, the Company would have to record additional expense.

Warranty – the Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.

Revenue recognition – is upon delivery of product to our customer. Our ordering process creates persuasive evidence of the sale arrangement and the sales amount is determined. The delivery of the goods to our customer confirms our reasonable assurance of collectability. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. The actual amounts for returns and allowances could differ from the estimated amounts. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Accounting Developments

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and significantly changes the application of consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus, improves comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does not hold any variable interest entities.

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 was effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS No. 150 was effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 was effective for certain contracts entered into or modified by the Company after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 149 effective July 1, 2003 with no material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

Results of Operations

The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the Company’s results of operations on a comparative basis for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company’s net sales.

Fiscal 2004 Compared to Fiscal 2003

The Company acquired DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”) in a business combination accounted for as a purchase as of September 17, 2003. The accompanying discussion of results of operations includes the operations of DMI for the period September 18, 2003 through June 30, 2004.

Net sales for fiscal 2004 increased by $109.2 million or 37.4% compared to fiscal 2003. Residential net sales volume increased $72.3 million (includes $67.9 million of DMI) or 37.3%. Recreational vehicle net sales increased $9.8 million or 13.0%. Commercial net sales volume increased $27.1 million (includes $24.6 million of DMI) or 121.4%. The increase in net sales reflects improved industry performance for recreational vehicle and commercial products in addition to the inclusion of DMI net sales.

Gross margin increased $17.7 million to $83.2 million, or 20.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2004, from $65.5 million, or 22.4% of net sales in fiscal 2003. The decreased gross margin percentage in fiscal 2004 reflects increased costs for steel and component parts that have steel content. Costs were also higher for wood and petroleum products, such as fuel and poly foam. The cost of these materials has increased faster than the Company has been able to pass these costs onto consumers through higher selling prices. In addition, DMI products have a lower gross margin due to their different customer base, further decreasing the Company’s overall gross margin percentage.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.6% and 18.0% for fiscal 2004 and 2003, respectively. The lower percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2004 is primarily due to the lower percentage of such costs related to DMI net sales and the discontinuation of the Company’s retail stores.

During fiscal 2004, the Company incurred costs in excess of $0.2 million, including approximately 4,400 employee hours related to planning, documenting and performing preliminary testing and walkthroughs of internal controls over accounting and information systems in preparation for the fiscal 2005 implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These types of expenses, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, are expected to repeat in future fiscal years. Additionally, the Company expects to incur higher audit and audit-related fees and expenses.

During November 2003, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Four Seasons, Inc., closed its two remaining retail furniture stores. The final payments for lease obligations that were included in facility closing costs were paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Company expects no future expenses related to retail operations.

The effective tax rate in fiscal 2004 was 39.5% compared to 41.8% in fiscal 2003. The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal 2003 was attributable to the Company’s settlement of federal income tax audits for its latest three fiscal years and amended state income tax returns.

The above factors resulted in fiscal 2004 net income of $10.1 million, or $1.55 per share, compared to $8.3 million, or $1.30 per share, in fiscal 2003, an increase of $1.8 million or $0.25 per share.

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Fiscal 2003 Compared to Fiscal 2002

Net sales for fiscal 2003 increased by $12.3 million or 4.4% compared to fiscal 2002. Residential net sales volume increased $0.8 million or 0.4%. Recreational vehicle net sales increased $7.7 million or 11.3%. Commercial net sales volume increased $3.8 million or 20.4%.

Gross margin increased $4.0 million to $65.5 million, or 22.4% of net sales, in fiscal 2003, from $61.5 million, or 22.0% of net sales in fiscal 2002. The fiscal 2002 gross margin was reduced by a charge of $1.2 million for estimated facility closing costs related to the Company’s retail furniture stores.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 18.0% and 19.1% for fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The lower percentage in fiscal 2003 primarily represents reductions in the provision for doubtful accounts and estimated retail facility closing costs.

During fiscal 2003, the Company sold land adjacent to the Lancaster, Pennsylvania factory at a net gain (after tax) of $0.2 million or $0.04 per share.

The effective tax rate in fiscal 2003 was 41.8% compared to 38.2% in fiscal 2002. The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal 2003 is attributable to the Company’s settlement of federal income tax audits for its latest three fiscal years and amended state income tax returns.

The above factors resulted in fiscal 2003 net income of $8.3 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to $5.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in fiscal 2002, an increase of $2.6 million or $0.38 per diluted share.

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2004, was $83.4 million, which includes cash, cash equivalents and investments of $3.7 million. Cash and investments have decreased from June 30, 2003 primarily due to the purchase of DMI that required cash of $19.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.5 million, $9.2 million and $12.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities were primarily the result of changes in net income, trade receivables, inventories and accounts payable. The increase in inventories relates to the expansion of import programs.

On September 17, 2003, the Company effectively acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of DMI for $3.30 per share in cash. The results of DMI’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company since that date. As a result of the acquisition, DMI’s distribution, product lines, and global sourcing infrastructure are expected to enhance the Company’s focus on expanding its product offerings. The financial strength of the Company is also expected to provide the resources for continued DMI growth and result in accretion to the earnings of the Company.

The aggregate purchase price was $54.9 million. The purchase price consisted of $16.7 million in cash paid to the shareholders of DMI, $2.8 million in acquisition costs paid by the Company, and the assumption of all DMI liabilities totaling $35.4 million, including $25.5 million of long-term debt.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

	September 17, 2003


Current assets	$	44,599
Property, plant, and equipment		9,710
Intangible asset – customer relationships		596
Other assets		40

Total assets acquired		54,945


Current liabilities		(8,912	)
Long-term debt		(24,508	)
Other liabilities		(2,029	)

Total liabilities assumed		(35,449	)

Net assets acquired	$	19,496

Capital expenditures were $6.0 million, $5.1 million, and $1.1 million in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Fiscal 2004 expenditures were incurred for manufacturing and delivery equipment and the completion of the expansion of the Dublin, Georgia facility. Projected capital spending for fiscal 2005 is $5.0 million and will be used for manufacturing and delivery equipment. Cash generated from operations and available lines of credit are expected to provide funds necessary for projected capital expenditures.

Financing activities utilized net cash of $0.8 million, $4.3 million, and $3.2 million in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The payment of dividends was the primary financing activity utilizing cash.

The Company has adequate cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, the ability to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and ensures that productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations are purchased as needed.

The Company’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):

	FOR THE YEARS ENDING JUNE 30,
	2005		2006		2007		2008		2009		Thereafter		Total
Operating leases and
lease guarantees	$	2,315	$	1,842	$	1,409	$	946	$	611	$	312	$	7,435
Debt	$	9,022					$	17,583					$	26,605

Financing Arrangements

The Company has lines of credit of $49.0 million with banks, borrowings at differing rates based on the date and type of financing utilized.

In June 2004, the Company restructured its primary credit agreement that was assumed in the acquisition of DMI, lowering the interest rate based on the Company’s strong consolidated financial position and lower credit risk. The credit agreement provides for a $47.0 million unsecured credit facility and provides the Company with flexibility between long-term and short-term financing. The short-term portion of the credit facility provides working capital financing up to $20.0 million, of which $9.0 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004, with Company selected interest at prime (4.25% at June 30, 2004) or LIBOR (1.34% at June 30, 2004) plus 0.50%. The short-term portion also provides overnight credit when required for operations at prime. The short-term line of credit expires June 29,2005. The long-term portion of the credit facility provides up to $20.0 million, of which $17.6 million was outstanding at June 30, 2004, and expires September 30, 2007. Variable interest is set monthly at the option of the Company at prime or LIBOR plus 0.75%. The credit facility also provides $7.0 million to support letters of credit issued by the Company. All interest rates are adjusted monthly, except for the overnight portion of the short-term line of credit, which varies daily at the prime rate. The Company has effectively fixed the interest rates at 3.9% on approximately $17.6 million of its long-term debt through the use of interest rate swaps. SeeInterest Rate Risk below.

The credit agreement contains certain restrictive covenants that require the Company, among other things, to maintain an interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio, consolidated net worth ratio, and limitations on capital expenditures and disposals, all as defined in the credit agreement. At June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.

Outlook

The Company is finding that the pressures on margins experienced in the second half of fiscal 2004 are continuing. Suppliers for steel and petroleum-based products, including fuel and poly foam, continue to pass on additional cost increases to the Company. At the same time, many furniture manufacturers, including Flexsteel, are dealing with competition and pricing pressures from imported products. Also, preliminary tariffs have been announced on wooden bedroom furniture imported from the People’s Republic of China. These tariffs are expected to be finalized by December 23, 2004 and may have a significant impact on margins generated on wooden bedroom furniture and may require realignment of some of the Company’s suppliers.

As a result of these changes in the marketplace and world economy, the Company continues to believe that pursuit and refinement of its “blended” strategy is fundamentally sound, offering customers fully manufactured goods, products manufactured utilizing imported component parts, and ready-to-deliver imported products. The Company believes that it best serves customers by offering products from each of these categories to assist customers in reaching specific consumers with varied price points, styles, and product categories. This blended focus on products allows the Company to provide a wide range of options to satisfy customer requirements. Additionally, management believes this strategy offers the Company the most financial and operational flexibility with which to respond to ever-changing market and regulatory conditions.

The Company believes that U.S. consumer confidence has been hampered by several uncertainties in the marketplace, including the upcoming U.S. presidential election, the war in Iraq, interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve Board, and record high and unstable oil prices. The Company believes that this situation has caused consumers to postpone purchases of durable goods, including furniture. The Company expects these uncertainties will continue to have a negative impact on its results of operations through at least the end of the second fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2004. In the meantime, the Company has initiated several actions in response to these factors, including review and potential adjustment to the Company’s selling prices and cost control measures for inventories, capital assets, and selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Item 7a.

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, 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 and disruptions associated with shipping distances. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties 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, increase costs and decrease earnings.

Foreign Currency Risk – During fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not have sales, purchases, or other expenses denominated in foreign currencies, nor did it have any active subsidiaries located in foreign countries. As such, the Company is not exposed to market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices.

Interest Rate Risk –The Company’s primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2004, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $90,000, assuming no change in the volume or composition of debt. The Company has effectively fixed the interest rates at 3.9% on approximately $17.6 million of its long-term debt through the use of interest rate swaps, and the above estimated earnings reduction takes these swaps into account. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value of these swaps is a liability of approximately $0.1 million and is included in other liabilities.

Tariffs – The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs. In June 2004, preliminary tariffs were announced on wooden bedroom furniture produced in the People’s Republic of China. Tariffs are subject to annual review by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Tariffs are a possibility on any imported or exported products.

A third wholly-owned subsidiary, Four Seasons, Inc., operated retail furniture stores until their closure in November 2003.

USE OF ESTIMATES – the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FAIR VALUE – the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Notes receivable are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair values of investments in debt and equity securities are disclosed in Note 3.

CASH EQUIVALENTS – the Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as the equivalent of cash.

INVENTORIES – are stated at the lower of cost or market. Raw steel, lumber and wood frame parts are valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For internal use software, the Company’s policy is to capitalize external direct costs of materials and services, directly-related internal payroll and payroll-related costs, and interest costs.

PENSION BENEFITS – the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to pension benefits under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan are determined based on actuarial assumptions. A significant assumption used in determining net pension cost is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Another significant estimate that affects pension cost is the discount rate used in the annual actuarial valuation of pension benefits. The discount rate represents the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future cash flows required to settle the pension obligations. To the extent the assumed discount rate decreases, the Company would have to record additional expense.

WARRANTY – the Company estimates the amount of warranty claims on sold product that may be incurred based on current and historical data. The actual warranty expense could differ from the estimates made by the Company based on product performance.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – is upon delivery of product to the Company’s customer. The Company’s ordering process creates persuasive evidence of the sale arrangement and the sales amount is determined. The delivery of the goods to the customer confirms the Company’s reasonable assurance of collectability. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. The actual amounts for returns and allowances could differ from the estimated amounts. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

ADVERTISING COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. The Company conducts no direct-response advertising programs and there are no assets related to advertising recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. Advertising expenditures, primarily shared customer advertising and national trade-advertising programs were approximately $3,017,000, $3,032,000, and $2,267,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. Expenditures for research and development costs were approximately $2,880,000, $2,660,000, and $1,970,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – in connection with the DMI acquisition, the Company assumed interest rate swaps utilized to hedge against adverse changes in interest rates relative to its variable rate debt. The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swaps totaled $17.6 million with a weighted average fixed rate of 3.9% at June 30, 2004. The interest rate swaps are not utilized to take speculative positions. The Board of Directors established the Company’s policies with regards to activities involving derivative instruments. Management, along with the Board of Directors, periodically reviews those policies, along with the actual derivative related results. The Company recorded the fair market value of its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges on its balance sheet and has marked them to fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair values of the swaps were a liability of $0.1 million as of June 30, 2004 and are reflected as other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

INSURANCE – the Company is self-insured for health care and most workers’ compensation up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. The Company purchases specific stop-loss insurance for individual health care claims in excess of $150,000 per plan year, with a $1.0 million individual lifetime maximum. For workers’ compensation the Company retains the first $300,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit. The Company is contingently liable to insurance carriers under its comprehensive general, product, and vehicle liability policies, as well as some workers’ compensation, and has provided letters of credit in the amount of $4.7 million. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on Company experience.

INCOME TAXES – deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE – basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each fiscal year. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes 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 89,515 shares, 112,128 shares, and 63,338 shares in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 163,050 shares and 14,000 shares of common stock were outstanding in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. No options to purchase common stock were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2004, as their exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common shares.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," which amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.

The Company has elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans, as permitted under SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. Had the compensation cost for the Company’s incentive stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the fair-value methodology of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts for the years ended June 30:

	2004			2003			2002

Net income as reported	$	10,130,257		$	8,291,277		$	5,659,544
Less stock-based employee
compensation expense
determined under fair value
method for all awards, net of tax		(427,000	)		(291,000	)		(162,000	)

Pro forma net income	$	9,703,257		$	8,000,277		$	5,497,544

Earnings per share:
Basic – as reported	$	1.57		$	1.33		$	0.93
– pro forma		1.51			1.28			0.90

Diluted – as reported	$	1.55		$	1.30		$	0.92
– pro forma		1.49			1.26			0.89

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Sholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively: dividend yield of 2.7%, 3.3% and 5.0%; expected volatility of 25.8%, 25.4% and 24.8%; risk-free interest rates of 4.3%, 4.1% and 6.5%; and an expected life of 10 years on all options.

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS – In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”). FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities and significantly changes the consolidation application of consolidation policies to variable interest entities and, thus improves comparability between enterprises engaged in similar activities when those activities are conducted through variable interest entities. The Company does not hold any variable interest entities.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 was effective immediately for all financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. For all other instruments, SFAS No. 150 was effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 was effective for certain contracts entered into or modified by the Company after June 30, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 149 effective July 1, 2003, with no material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

RECLASSIFICATIONS – certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2004 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

The Company receives no special services nor pricing on the services performed by the bank due to the directorships of the two officers.

9. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is as follows for the years ended June 30:

The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal 2003 was attributable to the Company’s settlement of federal income tax audits for its latest three fiscal years and amended state income tax returns. The effect of such settlement is included in “Other” in the table below. A reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended June 30:


Federal statutory tax rate	35.0	%	35.0	%	35.0	%

10. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has stock option plans for key employees and directors that provide for the granting of incentive and nonqualified stock options. Under the plans, options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant, and may be exercisable for up to 10 years. All options are exercisable when granted. At June 30, 2004, 439,150 shares were available for future grants.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the changes during the years then ended is presented below:

PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company sponsors various defined contribution pension and retirement plans, which cover substantially all employees, other than employees covered by multi-employer pension plans under collective bargaining agreements. It is the Company’s policy to fund all pension costs accrued. Total pension and retirement plan expense was $2,026,000, $1,790,000, and $1,691,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003, 2002, respectively. The amounts include $513,000, $377,000, and $367,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, for the Company’s matching contribution to retirement savings plans. The Company’s cost for pension plans is generally determined as 2% – 6% of each covered employee’s wages. The Company’s matching contribution for the retirement savings plans is generally 25% – 50% of employee contributions (up to 4% of employee earnings). In addition to the above, amounts charged to pension expense and contributed to multi-employer defined benefit pension plans administered by others under collective bargaining agreements were $1,286,000, $1,332,000, and $1,252,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

The Company’s defined benefit pension plan covers 89 active hourly production employees of DMI. There are a total of 533 participants in the plan. Retirement benefits are based on years of credited service multiplied by a dollar amount negotiated under collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s policy is to fund normal costs and amortization of prior service costs at a level that is equal to or greater than the minimum required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). According to an agreement reached with the collective bargaining unit, all benefits and participants are fixed. Future benefits will accrue to current participants; however, new participants cannot be added to the plan. As of June 30, 2004, the accrued benefit liability related to the defined benefit pension plan recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $1.0 million.

The Company has unfunded post-retirement benefit and deferred compensation plans with certain officers. The plans require various annual contributions for the participants based upon compensation levels and age. All participants are fully vested. For fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the benefit obligation was increased by interest expense of $133,848, $118,869 and $139,399, service costs of $412,561, $434,575 and $582,197, and decreased by payments of $337,500, $273,000 and $271,000, respectively. At June 30, 2004, the benefit obligation was $4,955,471, including $734,000 for defined benefits.

13. MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company has an incentive plan that provides for shares of common stock to be awarded to key employees based on a targeted rate of earnings to common equity as established by the Board of Directors. Shares awarded to employees are subject to the restriction of continued employment, with one-third of the stock received by the employee on the award date and the remaining shares issued after one and two years. Under the plan 38,620, 20,590 and 37,641 shares were awarded, and the amounts charged to income were $680,000, $340,000 and $500,000 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. At June 30, 2004, 84,596 shares were available for future grants.

Under the Company’s voluntary deferred compensation plan, certain employees may defer common stock awards until retirement. In fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company awarded 18,507, 10,541 and 19,410 shares with an award value of $327,000, $173,000 and $257,000, respectively, based on quoted market prices at the applicable award dates. At June 30, 2004 and 2003, 65,114 and 47,635 shares with an award value of $940,000 and $626,000, respectively, had been deferred and are being held in trust on behalf of the employees. Under the plan 1,028 shares have been redeemed.

14. RESTRUCTURING

During fiscal 2002, the Company recorded an $890,000 charge to cost of goods sold for estimated facility closing costs related to the Elkhart, Indiana, manufacturing facility. The charge principally represented employee separation costs and facility closing costs with no future benefit to the Company. The decision to close the facility was driven by the weakening demand for vehicle seating products, especially for van conversions, which was the primary product of the Elkhart plant. A total of 84 employees representing all of Elkhart’s employees were affected by the closure, including 32 employees who had been laid off previously. At June 30, 2003, there were no remaining accrued costs related to this facility closing.

Also during fiscal 2002, the Company recorded a total charge of $1,200,000 for estimated retail store closing costs. Of the total charge, $300,000 was recorded as cost of goods sold and $900,000 was charged to selling, general and administrative expenses. The decision to close the retail store was driven by the continued struggling operations of the store. There were a minimal number of employees affected and insignificant amounts of employee separation costs associated with this retail store closing. The charge principally represented store closing costs with no future benefit to the Company.
