Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS – Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is one of the oldest and largest manufacturer, importer and marketer of residential and commercial upholstered and wooden furniture products in the United States.  The Company’s furniture products include a broad line of quality upholstered and wooden furniture for residential and commercial use.  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, bedroom furniture and home and commercial office furniture.  The Company has one active wholly-owned subsidiary:  DMI Furniture, Inc. (“DMI”), which is a Louisville, Kentucky-based, importer and marketer of residential and commercial office furniture. DMI’s brands are WYNWOOD, Homestyles and DMI Commercial Office Furniture. 

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flexsteel Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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.  Ultimate results could differ from those estimates.

 

FAIR VALUE – the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.  Generally accepted accounting principles on fair value measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities require that each asset and liability carried at fair value be classified into one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; or Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.   The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the period.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ALLOWANCES – the Company establishes accounts receivable allowances to reduce trade accounts receivable to an amount that reasonably approximates their net realizable value. The Company’s accounts receivable allowances consist of an allowance for doubtful accounts which is established through review of open accounts, historical collection, and historical write-off amounts and an allowance for estimated returns on sales of the Company’s products which is based on historical product returns, as well as existing product return authorizations. The Company records a provision against revenue for estimated returns on sales of our products in the same period that the related revenues are recognized. The amount ultimately realized from trade accounts receivable may differ from the amount estimated in the consolidated financial statements.

 

INVENTORIES – are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Steel products are valued on the last‑in, first‑out (“LIFO”) method.  All 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. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the useful lives.

 

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. No impairments of long-lived assets or changes in depreciable or amortizable lives were incurred during fiscal 2103.    

 

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 when both product ownership and the risk of loss have transferred to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured, and the Company has no remaining obligations. The Company’s ordering process creates persuasive evidence of the sale arrangement and the sales price 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 in which an identifiable benefit is received and national trade-advertising programs, were approximately $5.6 million, $4.9 million and $4.5 million in fiscal 2013,  2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

DESIGN, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS – are charged to selling, general and administrative expense in the periods incurred.  Expenditures for design, research and development costs were approximately $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.2 million in fiscal 2013,  2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

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.  For workers’ compensation the Company retains the first $400,000 per claim and purchases excess coverage up to the statutory limits for amounts in excess of the retention limit.  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. The Company records these insurance accruals within the accrued liabilities  - insurance account on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

INCOME TAXES – the Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes in its financial statements the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) – 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 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 year were the end of the contingency period. 

 

In computing EPS for the fiscal years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, net income as reported for each respective period is divided by the fully diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding:

STOCK–BASED COMPENSATION – the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the cost of employee services received in exchange for Company equity interests based on the award’s fair value at the date of grant.   See Note 8 Stock-Based Compensation.

 

ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS – In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, which requires additional disclosures on the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The ASU requires a company that reports other comprehensive income to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference to other required disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, and will be adopted by the Company on July 1, 2013. As it only requires additional disclosure, the adoption of this ASU will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
