FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Flexsteel”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Except to the extent updated or described below, the significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, appropriately represent, in all material respects, the current status of accounting policies and are incorporated by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel was incorporated in 1929 and is one of the oldest and largest manufacturers, importers and marketers of upholstered and wooden furniture products in the country. Product offerings include a wide variety of upholstered and wood 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, hospitality, health care and motor vehicle applications. Featured as a basic component in most of the upholstered furniture is a unique steel drop-in seat spring from which our name “Flexsteel” is derived. The Company distributes its products throughout the United States through the Company’s sales force and various independent representatives to furniture dealers, department stores, recreational vehicle manufacturers, catalogs, 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.

INVENTORIES

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Raw steel is valued on the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Other inventories are valued on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventories valued on the LIFO method would have been approximately $1.7 million higher at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, if they had been valued on the FIFO method. At December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the total value of LIFO inventory was $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. A comparison of inventories is as follows:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2012		June 30, 2012
Raw materials	$	9,641	$	10,410
Work in process and finished parts		5,248		5,288
Finished goods		72,842		66,991
Total	$	87,731	$	82,689

BORROWINGS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

The Company maintains a credit agreement which provides short-term working capital financing up to $15.0 million with interest of LIBOR plus 1% including $5.0 million of letters of credit availability. This credit agreement expires June 30, 2013. No amounts were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 under the working capital facility. 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 $2.3 million. The credit agreement contains financial covenants. The primary covenant is an interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. The ratio is computed as net income plus interest expense and stock-based compensation expense less dividends, divided by interest expense. In addition, the Company must maintain working capital of $60 million. At December 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants contained in the credit agreement.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has two stock-based compensation methods available when determining employee compensation.

(1)

Long-Term Management Incentive Compensation Plan – The plan provides for shares of common stock and cash to be awarded to officers and key employees based on performance targets set by the Nominating and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). The Company’s shareholders approved 500,000 shares to be issued under the plan. As of December 31, 2012, 143,307 shares have been issued. The Committee selected consolidated operating results for organic net sales growth and fully-diluted earnings per share for the three-year performance periods beginning July 1, 2010 and ending on June 30, 2013, beginning July 1, 2011 and ending on June 30, 2014, and beginning July 1, 2012 and ending on June 30, 2015. The Committee has also specified that payouts, if any, for awards earned in these performance periods will be 60% stock and 40% cash. Awards will be paid to participants as soon as practicable following the end of the performance periods subject to Committee approval and verification of results. The compensation cost related to the number of shares to be granted under each performance period is fixed on the grant date, which is the date the performance period begins. The compensation cost related to the cash portion of the award is re-measured based on the equity award’s estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accrual is based on the probable outcomes of the performance conditions. The short-term portion of the recorded cash award payable is classified within current liabilities, payroll and related items, and the long-term portion of the recorded cash award payable is classified within other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company has recorded cash awards payable of $0.5 million and $1.1 million within current liabilities and $0.3 million and $0.7 million within long-term liabilities, respectively. During the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

If the target performance goals would be achieved, the total amount of compensation cost recognized over the requisite service periods would be $1.2 million (2011-2013), $1.1 million (2012-2014) and $1.0 million (2013-2015) based on the estimated fair values at December 31, 2012.

(2)

Stock Option Plans – The stock option plans for key employees and directors 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 December 31, 2012, 269,500 shares were available for future grants. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares upon exercise of stock options. The Company accepts shares of the Company’s common stock as payment for the exercise price of options. These shares received as payment are retired upon receipt. During the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded expense of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plans as of December 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the changes during the periods then ended is presented below:

	Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2011		1,046		$	13.56	$	2,271
Granted		83			13.87
Exercised		(306	)		12.57

Canceled		(10	)		16.09
Outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012		805		$	14.59		5,524

The following table summarizes information for options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012:

				Weighted Average
Range of Prices		Options Outstanding (in thousands)		Remaining Life (Years)		Exercise Price
	$ 6.81 – 8.55		135		6.4	$	7.62
	12.35 – 13.90		226		5.6		12.86
	14.40 – 17.23		250		4.1		16.02
	19.21 – 20.50		194		4.5		19.60
	$ 6.81 – 20.50		805		5.0	$	14.59

INCOME TAXES

In determining the quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on the expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. This includes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns to the extent pervasive evidence exists that they will be realized in future periods. The deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates by tax jurisdiction, based on currently enacted tax laws, which are expected to be in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In accordance with the Company’s income tax policy, significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur.

The components of the gross liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits and the related deferred tax assets are as follows:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2012		June 30, 2012
Gross unrecognized tax benefits	$	1,100	$	1,000
Accrued interest and penalties		445		365
Gross liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits	$	1,545	$	1,365

Deferred tax assets	$	405	$	350

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2012			June 30, 2012
Balance at July 1	$	1,000		$	970
Additions based on tax positions related to current year		135			207
Additions for tax positions of prior years	$	20		$	—
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(55	)		(177	)
Ending Balance	$	1,100		$	1,000

The recognition of the above amounts would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not expect that there will be any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months. The Company records interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share of common stock includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. The Company’s potential common shares outstanding are stock options and shares associated with the long-term management incentive compensation plan. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of outstanding options using the treasury stock method. Anti-dilutive shares are not included in the computation of diluted EPS when their exercise price was greater than the average closing market price of the common shares. The Company calculates the dilutive effect of shares related to the long-term management incentive compensation plan based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the fiscal period were the end of the contingency period.

In computing EPS for the three and six months ended December, 2012 and 2011, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
(in thousands)	2012		2011		2012		2011

Basic shares		7,030		6,763		6,984		6,745

Potential common shares:
Stock options		219		129		233		143
Long-term incentive plan		26		75		28		80
		245		204		261		223

Diluted shares		7,275		6,967		7,245		6,968

Anti-dilutive shares		38		624		—		559

LITIGATION

Indiana Civil Litigation – The Company has been named as one of several defendants in a lawsuit related to groundwater contamination. The lawsuit alleges that the contamination source is a property once owned by the Company. The Company does not believe that it caused or contributed to the contamination. Plaintiffs have not identified a dollar amount of their alleged damages and the status of insurance coverage has not been determined. We are unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible outcomes or losses at this time. Accordingly, no accrual related to this matter has been recorded in the December 31, 2012 financial statements. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, legal and other related expenses of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, have been incurred responding to this lawsuit and are included in Selling, General and Administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Corresponding amounts in the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 were $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Other Proceedings – From time to time, the Company is subject to various other legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company does not consider any of such other proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material effect on its consolidated operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL:

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2012 vs. 2011

The following table compares net sales in total and by area of application for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 to the prior year quarter.

		Net Sales (in thousands) Quarter Ended December 31,				$ Change
Area of Application		2012		2011		(in thousands)			% Change
	Residential	$	76,617	$	66,968	$	9,649			14.4	%
	Commercial		17,973		18,033		(60	)		(0.3	)%
	Total	$	94,590	$	85,001	$	9,589			11.3	%

Net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $94.6 million, an 11.3% increase over the prior year quarter net sales of $85.0 million. Residential net sales were $76.6 million in the current quarter, an increase of 14.4% from the prior year quarter of $67.0 million. Commercial net sales were approximately $18.0 million in the current and prior year quarters.

Gross margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was 24.0% compared to 24.1% in the prior year quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $18.1 million or 19.2% of net sales compared to $15.8 million or 18.6% of net sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. SG&A expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 include $0.7 million, or $0.06 per share, for employment inducement costs.

Operating income for the current quarter was $4.6 million compared to operating income of $4.7 million in the prior year quarter reflecting the aforementioned factors.

The effective income tax expense rate for the current fiscal quarter was 37.3% compared to an income tax expense rate of 37.8% in the prior year fiscal quarter. The effective rates include the federal statutory rate as well as the effect of the various state taxing jurisdictions.

The above factors resulted in current quarter net income of $2.9 million or $0.40 per share, compared to net income of $2.9 million or $0.42 per share in the prior year quarter.

All earnings per share amounts are on a diluted basis.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 vs. 2011

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Working capital (current assets less current liabilities) at December 31, 2012 was $105.8 million compared to $103.7 million at June 30, 2012. Changes in working capital from June 30, 2012 to December 31, 2012 include a reduction in cash of $5.8 million offset by increases in inventory of $5.0 million, other current assets of $1.9 million and accounts receivable of $0.5 million, and a reduction in current liabilities of $0.4 million. The higher inventory levels support the increases in residential sales volume and expanded product offerings. Depreciation expense was $1.8 million and $1.4 million in the six-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company expects that due to the nature of our operations that there will be continuing fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and cash flows from operations due to the following: (i) we purchase inventory from overseas suppliers with long lead times and depending on the timing of the delivery of those orders, inventory levels can be greatly impacted, and (ii) we have various customers that purchase large quantities of inventory periodically and the timing of those purchases can significantly impact inventory levels, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings. As discussed below, the Company believes it has adequate financing arrangements and access to capital to absorb these fluctuations in operating cash flow.

Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities was $5.5 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2012. During the first six months of fiscal year 2013 capital expenditures were $4.9 million, including $2.5 million for the Company’s headquarters building and the remaining amount primarily for manufacturing and delivery equipment. The Company expects that capital expenditures will be approximately $1.0 million for the remainder of the 2013 fiscal year.

Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.3 million during the six-month period ended December 31, 2012. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company paid three dividends to shareholders at $0.15 per share totaling $3.1 million. The dividends paid during the six-month period were partially offset by cash received from the exercise of stock options of approximately $0.8 million.

Management believes that the Company has adequate cash and credit arrangements to meet its operating and capital requirements for fiscal year 2013. In the opinion of management, the Company’s liquidity and credit resources provide it with the ability to react to opportunities as they arise, to pay quarterly dividends to its shareholders, and to purchase productive capital assets that enhance safety and improve operations.

Outlook

The Company believes that moderate top line growth will continue through the end of fiscal year 2013. Residential growth will continue with existing customers and products, and through expanding our product portfolio and customer base. The Company expects current order trends for commercial products to continue for the remainder of the fiscal year. The Company is confident in its ability to take advantage of market opportunities. However, our optimism is tempered due to economic uncertainty and its impact on the consumers’ confidence and willingness to buy.

The Company remains committed to its core strategies, which include a wide range of quality product offerings and price points to the residential and commercial markets, combined with a conservative approach to business. We will maintain our focus on a strong balance sheet through emphasis on cash flow and improving profitability. We believe these core strategies are in the best interest of our shareholders.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General – Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. As discussed below, management of the Company does not believe that changes in these factors could cause material fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. The ability to import furniture products can be adversely affected by political issues in the countries where suppliers are located, disruptions associated with shipping distances and negotiations with port employees. Other risks related to furniture product importation include government imposition of regulations and/or quotas; duties 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 the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have sales, purchases, or other expenses denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the Company is not exposed to material 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. The Company does not have any debt outstanding at December 31, 2012.

Tariffs – The Company has exposure to actions by governments, including tariffs. Tariffs are a possibility on any imported or exported products.

Inflation – Increased operating costs are reflected in product or services pricing with any limitations on price increases determined by the marketplace. Inflation or other pricing pressures could impact material costs, labor costs and interest rates which are important components of costs for the Company and could have an adverse effect on our profitability, especially where increases in these costs exceed price increases on finished products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
