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 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., which owns and leases a commercial building to an unrelated entity, and (2) DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”), acquired effective September 17, 2003, which 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 and 2003, 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 wooden 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 involved 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):

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.
1
Foreign Operations
The Company makes minimal export sales. The Company has no foreign manufacturing operations. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately 100 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, 2005 | June 30, 2004 | June 30, 2003 | |||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$ 48,600* | $ 44,700 | $ 29,100 |
*This entire amount is expected to be filled in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
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
The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs. Tariffs are a possibility on any imported or exported products.
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. 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. In the last three fiscal years, these design activities involved the following expenditures (in thousands):
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | Expenditures | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2005 | $2,990 | |||||||
2004 | $2,880 | |||||||
2003 | $2,660 |
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 furniture in the United States, according to the Company’s best information, it manufactures and sells less than 2% of the furniture sold in the United States. The Company’s principal method of meeting competition is by emphasizing its product performance.
Employees
The Company had approximately 2,400, 2,600 and 2,300 employees as of June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, including approximately 870 employees that are covered by collective bargaining agreements at June 30, 2005. 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, warranty costs and income taxes.
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 $350,000 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.
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.
5
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.
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 completes the earnings process. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Accounting Developments
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which amends SFAS No. 123 and will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. The new standard will require the Company to expense employee stock options and other share-based payments. The Company is currently evaluating how it will adopt the standard and evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4,Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 shall be applied prospectively and are effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2004, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard No. 109-1, “Application of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (the “FSP”) to provide guidance on the application of SFAS No. 109 to the provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The FSP states that the manufacturers’ deduction provided for under the Act should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and not as a tax rate reduction. A special deduction is accounted for by recording the benefit of the deduction in the year in which it can be taken in the company’s tax return, and by not adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of the Act’s enactment (which would have been done if the deduction on qualified production activities were treated as a change in enacted tax rates). The FSP was effective upon issuance. The adoption of the FSP has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the future effects of the FSP.
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, 2005, 2004 and 2003. Amounts presented are percentages of the Company’s net sales.

Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004
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, 2005.
Net sales for fiscal 2005 increased by $8.8 million or 2.2% compared to fiscal 2004. Residential net sales decreased $4.4 million or 1.6%. Recreational vehicle net sales decreased $6.6 million or 7.7%. Commercial net sales increased $19.7 million or 39.8%. The increase in net sales reflects improved industry performance for commercial products in addition to the inclusion of DMI net sales for the entire fiscal year.
Gross margin decreased $6.3 million to $76.9 million, or 18.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2005, from $83.2 million, or 20.7% of net sales in fiscal 2004. The decreased gross margin percentage in fiscal 2005 reflects increased costs for steel and component parts that have steel content. Costs were also higher for petroleum products 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. During fiscal 2005 the quantities of LIFO inventory (steel and lumber) were reduced, resulting in a favorable impact on gross margin of 0.3%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 16.7% and 16.6% for fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. During fiscal 2005, the Company incurred costs in excess of $0.4 million, including approximately 5,700 employee hours related to planning, documenting and performing 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. Additionally, the Company expects to incur higher audit and audit-related fees and expenses. 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.
During the current fiscal year the Company recorded pre-tax gains of $0.8 million on the sale of former manufacturing facilities.
The effective tax rate in fiscal 2005 was 30.6% compared to 39.5% in fiscal 2004. During fiscal year 2005, an examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company’s federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 was completed. Due to the favorable results, the Company has reviewed and reduced its estimate of accrued tax liabilities resulting in a $0.7 million reduction in the tax expenses during that quarter. The Company expects that the effective income tax rate for future periods will be approximately 37%.
The above factors resulted in fiscal 2005 net income of $6.0 million, or $0.92 per share, compared to $10.1 million, or $1.55 per share, in fiscal 2004, a decrease of $4.1 million or $0.63 per share.
All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.
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 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 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.
7
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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2005, was $85.4 million, which includes cash, cash equivalents and investments of $3.2 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.7 million, $7.5 million and $9.2 million in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities were primarily the result of changes in net income, inventories and accounts payable. The increase in inventories and accounts payable relates primarily 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. 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.
Capital expenditures were $3.3 million, $6.0 million and $5.1 million in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Fiscal 2005 expenditures were incurred for delivery and manufacturing equipment. Projected capital spending for fiscal 2006 is $6.0 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 $12.0 million, $0.8 million and $4.3 million in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For fiscal year 2005 repayment of debt and the payment of dividends were the primary financing activities utilizing cash. In fiscal years 2004 and 2003, 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.

At June 30, 2005 the Company had no capital lease obligations, and no purchase obligations for raw materials or finished goods extending more than six months. The purchase price on all open purchase orders was fixed and denominated in U.S. dollars.
Financing Arrangements
The Company has lines of credit of $41.0 million with banks, borrowings at differing rates based on the date and type of financing utilized.
In June 2005, the Company restructured its primary credit agreement reducing its long-term availability to $13.0 million, extending its existing short-term facility to June 29, 2006 and reducing the letter of credit facility to $5.0 million. The credit agreement provides for a $38.0 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 $5.0 million was outstanding at June 30, 2005, with interest selected at the option of the Company at prime (6.3% at June 30, 2005) or LIBOR (3.5% at June 30, 2005) plus 0.5%. The short-term portion also provides overnight credit when required for operations at prime. The short-term line of credit expires June 29,2006. The long-term portion of the credit facility provides up to $13.0 million, of which $12.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2005, 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 $5.0 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 $12.6 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 disposals, all as defined in the credit agreement. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.
Outlook
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, residential net sales have been weaker than the prior year and we expect that this softness will continue through the first half of fiscal year 2006 due to rising interest rates and higher energy costs that may dampen consumer confidence. Net sales of vehicle seating have fallen off as several manufacturers of recreational vehicles adjust inventory levels of finished units due to weakness in demand for recreational vehicles. We expect that net sales will remain relatively stable during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. We expect lower net sales in our second fiscal quarter due to lower demand for recreational vehicles. Additionally, the volatility and high cost of fuel may temper the favorable longer-term demographics that exist in the recreational vehicle industry. Our commercial marketing channels provide an opportunity to expand distribution and increase net sales in the first half of fiscal 2006. Commercial office furniture net sales will benefit from a continued general increase in demand for these products. Hospitality occupancy rates have improved with an increase in business and recreational travel. This improvement has led to increased construction and renovation activity that has led to increased demand for the hospitality products we offer.
Margin pressures continued through all of fiscal year 2005 and we expect pressures on margins to continue through the first half of fiscal 2006, with the cost of fuel being a key element. The rise in fuel cost continues to negatively impact the cost of bringing raw materials into our factories, as well as the cost of delivering finished products to our customers. Petroleum prices are setting record prices weekly, if not daily, and we anticipate that prices will remain volatile and at record or near record levels for at least the first half of fiscal year 2006. The result will be continuing increasing costs and we believe a factor keeping consumer confidence at relative low levels, negatively affecting demand for residential and vehicle seating products. The cost of steel appears to have steadied during the second half of the fiscal year just ended, albeit at relatively high historical prices. The cost of chemicals required in manufacturing poly foam used in our seating products increased throughout fiscal 2005. At this time there are no announced price increases for poly foam.
9
The furniture industry is in an unprecedented period of change. There are increases in the cost of raw materials and fuel accompanied by an increased flow of competing product from all over the world that have added to pricing pressures. The distribution channels are changing and increasingly include such non-traditional customers such as mass merchandisers, wholesale clubs and specialty retail chains in addition to e-commerce opportunities.
Flexsteel continues to take actions to address the above concerns including: new product introductions, refining existing product offerings, adjusting selling and delivery prices, adjusting production levels and implementing cost control measures for inventory and capital expenditures. These actions occur regularly regardless of operating performance, but will continue to receive additional attention under current business conditions.
Flexsteel is also in a unique position to take advantage of the rapid change that is affecting most of the markets we serve. We have had tremendous success in the introduction of our complete new line of Wrangler Home ® Collection. We continue to develop products for the marine industry to augment our vehicle seating products. Our commercial office product lineup is strong and expanded to continue to take full advantage as demand for this product increases. Our hospitality team is poised to deliver the needed products as this market expansion continues.
We continue to believe that our strategy of providing furniture from a wide selection of domestically manufactured and imported products is sound business practice. This blended strategy gives Flexsteel the opportunity to successfully participate in all the important avenues of furniture distribution in the United States.
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 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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, 2005, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by approximately $50,000, assuming no change in the volume or composition of debt. The Company has effectively fixed the interest rates at 3.9% on approximately $12.6 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, 2005, the fair value of these swaps is an asset of approximately $28,000 and is included in other assets.
Tariffs – The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs. Tariffs are a possibility on any imported or exported products.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Flexsteel Industries, Inc.
Dubuque, Iowa
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report On Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers and marketers, as well as an importer, of residential, recreational vehicle, hospitality and healthcare upholstered and wooden furniture products in the country. The Company’s furniture products include a broad line of quality upholstered and wooden furniture for residential, recreational vehicle and commercial use. Furniture products include sofas, love seats, chairs, reclining and rocker-reclining chairs, swivel rockers, sofa beds, convertible bedding units, bedroom, dining room, occasional tables, and home and commercial office furniture. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Desert Dreams, Inc. which owns and leases a commercial building to an unrelated entity, and (2) DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”), a Louisville, Kentucky-based, vertically integrated manufacturer, importer and marketer of residential and commercial furniture with 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. |
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. |
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 – 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. |
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 completes the earnings process. Net sales consist of product sales and related delivery charge revenue, net of adjustments for returns and allowances. 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 $3,051,000, $3,017,000 and $3,032,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
18
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred. Expenditures for research and development costs were approximately $2,990,000, $2,880,000 and $2,660,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The Company utilizes interest rate swaps 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 $12.6 million with a weighted average fixed rate of 3.9% at June 30, 2005. 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 an asset of $28,000 as of June 30, 2005 and are reflected as noncurrent other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. All of the derivatives used by the Company in its risk management are highly effective hedges because all of the critical terms of the derivative instruments match those of the hedged item. |
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 $350,000 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 $4.4 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 69,612 shares, 89,515 shares and 112,128 shares in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. Options to purchase 147,895 shares and 163,050 shares of common stock were outstanding in fiscal 2005 and 2003, 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: |

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 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively; dividend yield of 3.2%, 2.7% and 3.3%; expected volatility of 24.4%, 25.8% and 25.4%; risk-free interest rates of 4.2%, 4.3% and 4.1%; and an expected life of 10 years on all options. |
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS – In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (R) (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”, which amends SFAS No. 123 and will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. The new standard will require the Company to expense employee stock options and other share-based payments. The Company is currently evaluating how it will adopt the standard and evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) will have on its financial position and results of operations. |
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4,Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “...under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges...” SFAS No. 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS No. 151 shall be applied prospectively and are effective for the Company in fiscal 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. |
In December 2004, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Financial Accounting Standard No. 109-1, “Application of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (the “FSP”) to provide guidance on the application of SFAS No. 109 to the provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) that provides tax relief to U.S. domestic manufacturers. The FSP states that the manufacturers’ deduction provided for under the Act should be accounted for as a special deduction in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and not as a tax rate reduction. A special deduction is accounted for by recording the benefit of the deduction in the year in which it can be taken in the company’s tax return, and by not adjusting deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of the Act’s enactment (which would have been done if the deduction on qualified production activities were treated as a change in enacted tax rates). The FSP was effective upon issuance. The adoption of the FSP has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the future effects of the FSP. |
RECLASSIFICATIONS – certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2005 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported. |

2. | ACQUISITION |
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. 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): |

The customer relationships intangible asset will be amortized on an accelerated basis over an expected useful life of five years. None of the amortization of the customer relationships intangible asset is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. |
The unaudited pro forma financial information below assumes that DMI had been acquired at July 1, 2002 and includes the effect of amortization of the customer relationships intangible asset, additional depreciation expense, additional interest expense, reduction in interest income, and the related income tax effects. This pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2003.

4. | INVENTORIES |
Inventories valued on the LIFO method would have been approximately $3.6 million and $3.0 million higher at June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, if they had been valued on the FIFO method. At June 30, 2005 and 2004 the total value of LIFO inventory was $3.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively. During the fiscal year 2005, inventory quantities for steel and wood were reduced. This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of 2005 purchases, the effect of which decreased cost of goods sold by approximately $1.1 million and increased net income by approximately $0.7 million. A comparison of inventories is as follows: |

The Company has lines of credit of $41.0 million with banks, borrowings at differing rates based on the date and type of financing utilized. |
In June 2005, the Company restructured its primary credit agreement reducing its long-term availability to $13.0 million, extending its existing short-term facility to June 29, 2006 and reducing the letter of credit facility to $5.0 million. The credit agreement provides for a $38.0 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 $5.0 million was outstanding at June 30, 2005, with interest selected at the option of the Company at prime (6.3% at June 30, 2005) or LIBOR (3.5% at June 30, 2005) plus 0.5%. The short-term portion also provides overnight credit when required for operations at prime. The short-term line of credit expires June 29,2006. The long-term portion of the credit facility provides up to $13.0 million, of which $12.8 million was outstanding at June 30, 2005, 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 $5.0 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 $12.6 million of its long-term debt through the use of interest rate swaps. |
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 disposals, all as defined in the financing agreements. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the credit agreement. |
Two officers of the Company are directors at one of the banks where the Company maintains a $3.0 million line of credit and where its routine daily banking transactions are processed. The Company receives no special services or pricing on the services performed by the bank due to the directorships of the two officers. |

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 5,700, 38,620 and 20,590 shares were awarded, and the amounts charged to income were $85,000, $680,000 and $340,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At June 30, 2005, 78,896 shares were available for future grants. |
13. | BENEFIT 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 $2,007,000, $2,026,000 and $1,790,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004, 2003, respectively. The amounts include $518,0000, $513,000 and $377,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, 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 $1,166,000, $1,286,000 and $1,332,000 in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. |
The Company has unfunded post-retirement benefit and deferred compensation plans with executive officers. The plans require various annual contributions for the participants based upon compensation levels and age. All participants are fully vested. For fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, the benefit obligation was increased by interest expense of $150,557, $133,848 and $118,869, service costs of $440,000, $412,561 and $434,575, and decreased by payments of $298,060, $337,500 and $273,000, respectively.

Under provisions of the Company’s Voluntary Deferred Compensation Plan, certain executive officers may defer common stock awards received as participants of the Management Incentive Plan until retirement. In fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, the Company awarded 2,650, 18,507 and 10,541 shares with an award value of $39,000, $327,000 and $173,000, respectively, based on quoted market prices at the applicable award dates that have been deferred by the plan participants. At June 30, 2005 and 2004, 65,714 and 65,114 shares with an award value of $952,000 and $940,000, respectively, had been deferred and are being held in trust on behalf of the employees. Under the plan 2,050 and 1,028 shares were redeemed in fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. No shares were redeemed in fiscal 2003. |
The Company’s defined benefit pension plan covers 87 active hourly production employees of DMI. There are a total of 513 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, 2005, the accrued benefit liability related to the defined benefit pension plan recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was $1.6 million. |
