NOTES (UNAUDITED)

1.      The accompanying financial statements, which are unaudited, have been
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
        applied on a consistent basis, which is consistent with that followed in
        the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1998. The
        statements include all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring
        accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
        statement of the financial position and results of operations and cash
        flows, prepared on a summary basis, as of such dates and for the stated
        dates then ended. The results of operations for the three month period
        ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
        which may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1999.

2.      The inventories are categorized as follows:

                                                      September 30,   June 30,

3.      In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards board issued Statement No. 
        128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of
        primary and fully dilated earnings per share with basic and diluted
        earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings
        per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. All earnings
        per share amounts for all periods have been presented and, where
        appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS 128 requirements.

FLEXSTEEL INDUSTRIES, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONDENSED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS

Results of Operations:

Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to three months ended September
30, 1997.

   The following table has been prepared as an aid in understanding the 
Company's results of operations on a comparative basis for the first quarters
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Amounts presented are percentages of the
Company's net sales.

                                                  ======        ======


Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 increased by $4,894,000 or 9%
compared to the prior year quarter. Residential sales volume increased
$3,583,000 or 11%. Recreational vehicle seating sales increased $1,247,000 or
7%. Commercial seating volume increased $64,000 or 1%.

Gross margin increased $1,858,680 to $13,150,314 or 21.9% of sales, in the
current year, from $11,291,634 or 20.5% in the prior year. The gross margin
increase was due primarily to improved utilization of available production
capacity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 17.6%
and 17.8% for the current year and prior year, respectively. The cost percentage
decrease was due to improved absorption of fixed costs.

The above factors resulted in current fiscal year earnings of $1,794,903 or $.26
per share (basic) compared to $1,029,850 or $.15 per share (basic) in the prior
year, a net increase of $765,053 or $.11 per share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Working capital at September 30, 1998 is $52,362,000 which includes cash, cash
equivalents and investments of $16,750,000. Working capital increased by
$1,813,000 from the June 30, 1998 amount.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,933,000 during the first three
months of fiscal year 1999 versus $2,279,000 in first three months of fiscal
year 1998. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was
primarily the result of the increase in net income.

<PAGE>



Capital expenditures were $1,175,000 during the first three months of fiscal
1999 compared to $1,510,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The current
year expenditures were incurred primarily for manufacturing equipment and the
expansion of our Dublin, Georgia facility. During the next nine months
approximately $6,300,000 will be spent on manufacturing equipment, delivery
equipment, and the expansion project in Georgia. The funds for projected capital
expenditures are expected to be provided by cash generated from operations and
available cash.

On November 4, 1998 the Company announced a plan to repurchase up to 700,000
shares, or slightly more than 10% of the Company's outstanding common stock. The
Company will make the purchases, from time to time, in the open market as the
Company deems appropriate.

Year 2000 Issue - The Company has been modifying its computer information
systems to ensure the proper processing of transactions relating to the year
2000 and beyond. The Company has also reviewed its computer-dependent
manufacturing activities and necessary hardware and software changes are being
made. The Company expects its year 2000 conversion projects to be completed by
June 30, 1999. The conversion costs are not expected to be material to the
financial statements and will be accomplished using existing employees. The
Company is communicating with major suppliers to emphasize that operations must
continue without interruption through January 1, 2000. However, there can be no
assurances that systems of other companies, on which the Company's systems rely,
will be converted in a timely manner or that any failure to convert by another
company would not have an adverse effect on the Company's system.
