Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.

PART I

Item 1. Business

General

The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of residential wood
furniture exclusively targeted at the upper-medium price range. The Company
offers diversified product lines across all major style and product categories
within this price range. This product depth and extensive style selection makes
the Company a complete wood furniture resource for retailers in its price range
and allows the Company to respond more quickly to shifting consumer preferences.
The Company has established a broad distribution network that includes
independent furniture stores, department stores and regional furniture chains.
To provide its products and support this broad distribution network, the Company
is pursuing a blended strategy combining efficient and flexible manufacturing
processes that it believes are unique in the furniture industry with offshore
sourcing of component parts and finished goods. The Company emphasizes
continuous improvement in its manufacturing and sourcing processes to enable it
to continue providing competitive advantages to its customers, such as quick
delivery, reduced inventory investment, high quality, and value.

In December 2001, the Company announced a plan to expand offshore
sourcing, realign manufacturing capacity and significantly lower operating
costs. Integration of selected imported component parts and finished items in
its product line will lower costs, provide design flexibility and offer a better
value to customers. This initiative created excess capacity in the Company's
manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, the Company closed its former West End,
North Carolina factory and consolidated production from this facility into other
Company facilities. Production at the former West End facility was completely
phased out in the first half of 2002 along with all closing related activities
including the sale of real estate. The restructuring charge associated with this
plan is discussed in further details in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 7 and in Note 2 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Products and Styles

The Company's product lines cover all major design categories, and include
dining room, bedroom, youth bedroom (Young America(R)), home entertainment and
accent tables, and home office furniture. The Company believes that the
diversity of its product lines enables it to anticipate and respond quickly to
changing consumer preferences and provides retailers a complete wood furniture
resource in the upper-medium price range. The Company believes that its products
represent good value and that the quality and style of its furniture compare
favorably with more premium-priced products.

The Company provides products in a variety of woods, veneers, and
finishes. The number of styles by product line currently marketed by the Company
is set forth in the following table:



Number of Styles
----------------


Dining room................................................... 23
Bedroom....................................................... 23
Youth bedroom (Young America(R)).............................. 20
Home entertainment and accent tables.......................... 18
Home office................................................... 14


These product lines cover all major design categories including European
traditional, contemporary/transitional, American traditional, and country/casual
designs.

The Company designs and develops new product styles each year to replace
discontinued items or styles and, if desired, to expand product lines. The
Company's product design process begins with marketing personnel identifying
customer needs and conceptualizing product ideas, which generally consist of a
group of related furniture pieces. A variety of sketches are produced, usually
by Company designers, from which prototype furniture pieces are built prior to
full-scale production. The Company consults with its marketing personnel, sales
representatives, and selected customers throughout this process and introduces
its new product styles primarily at the fall and spring international furniture
markets.

Distribution

The Company has developed a broad domestic and international customer base
and sells its furniture through approximately 60 independent sales
representatives to independent furniture retailers, department stores and
regional furniture chains. Representative customers in alphabetical order
include Breuners Home Furnishings, Furnitureland South, Jordan's, Nebraska
Furniture Mart, Raymour & Flanigan, Robb & Stucky and Rooms To Go Kids. The
Company believes this broad network reduces its exposure to regional recessions,
and allows it to capitalize on emerging channels of distribution. The Company
offers tailored marketing programs to address each channel of distribution.

The general marketing practice followed in the furniture industry is to
exhibit products at international and regional furniture markets. In the spring
and fall of each year, an eight-day furniture market is held in High Point,
North Carolina, which is attended by most buyers and is regarded by the industry
as the international market. The Company utilizes approximately 63,000 square
feet of showroom space at the High Point market to introduce new products,
increase sales of its existing products, and test ideas for future products.

The Company has sold to approximately 2,600 customers during 2002, and
approximately 4% of the Company's sales in 2002 were to international customers.
No single customer accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's sales in
2002. No material part of the Company's business is dependent upon a single
customer, the loss of which would have a material effect on the business of the
Company. The loss of several of the Company's major customers could have a
material impact on the business of the Company.

Manufacturing and Offshore Sourcing

The Company's manufacturing strategy combines offshore sourcing with
domestic manufacturing. The Company's domestic manufacturing operations
complement its product and distribution strategy by emphasizing continuous
improvement in quality and customer responsiveness while reducing costs. These
manufacturing processes produce smaller, more frequent and cost-effective runs.
The Company focuses on identifying and eliminating manufacturing bottlenecks and
waste, employing statistical process control and, in turn, adjusting
manufacturing schedules on a daily basis, using cellular manufacturing in the
production of components, and improving its relationships with suppliers by
establishing primary supplier relationships. In addition, a key element of the
Company's manufacturing processes is to involve all Company personnel, from
hourly associates to management, in the improvement of the manufacturing
processes by encouraging and responding to ideas to improve quality and to
reduce manufacturing lead times.

The Company also integrates the sourcing of selected component parts and
finished items with its manufacturing operations to further enhance its product
and distribution strategy. The Company acquires selected finished items and
component parts from a limited number of offshore suppliers who can meet the
Company's quality specifications, production efficiency and scheduling
requirements. The Company expects to source approximately 20% of its sales
volume in 2003 from 6 countries with China representing the largest volume.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and
Virginia consisting of an aggregate of approximately 3.2 million square feet.
The Company considers its present equipment to be generally modern, adequate and
well-maintained.


The Company schedules production of its various styles based upon actual
and anticipated orders. The Company's manufacturing processes enable it to fill
orders primarily through manufacturing rather than inventory. As a result, the
Company shipped customer orders within 12 days on average during 2002 with
average finished goods inventory turns of 5.1. Since the Company ships customer
orders on average in less than two weeks, management believes that the size of
its backlog is not necessarily indicative of its long-term operations. The
Company's backlog of unshipped orders was $15.4 million at December 31, 2002 and
$11.7 million at December 31, 2001.

Raw Materials

The principal materials used by the Company in manufacturing its products
include lumber, veneers, plywood, particle board, hardware, glue, finishing
materials, glass products, laminates, fabrics and metals. The Company uses a
variety of species of lumber, including cherry, oak, ash, poplar, pine and
maple. The Company's five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 16% of
its purchases in 2002. The Company believes that its sources of supply for these
materials are adequate and that it is not dependent on any one supplier.

Competition

The Company is the seventeenth largest furniture manufacturer in North
America based on 2001 sales, according to Furniture/Today, a trade publication.
The furniture industry is highly competitive and includes a large number of
foreign and domestic manufacturers, none of which dominates the market. In
addition, competition has significantly increased from foreign manufacturers in
countries such as China which have lower production costs. The markets in which
the Company competes include a large number of relatively small manufacturers;
however, certain competitors of the Company have substantially greater sales
volumes and financial resources than the Company. Competitive factors in the
upper-medium price range include style, price, quality, delivery, design,
service, and durability. The Company believes that its manufacturing processes,
its sourcing strategy, its long-standing customer relationships and customer
responsiveness, its consistent support of existing diverse product lines that
are high quality and good value, and its experienced management are competitive
advantages.

Associates

At December 31, 2002, the Company employed approximately 2,600 associates.
None of the Company's associates is represented by a labor union. The Company
considers its relations with its associates to be good.

Trademarks

The trade names of the Company represent many years of continued business,
and the Company believes such names are well recognized and associated with
excellent quality and styling in the furniture industry. The Company owns a
number of trademarks, none of which is considered to be material to the Company.

Governmental Regulations

The Company is subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations
in the areas of safety, health, and environmental pollution controls. Compliance
with these laws and regulations has not in the past had any material effect on
the Company's earnings, capital expenditures, or competitive position; however,
the effect of such compliance in the future cannot be predicted. Management
believes that the Company is in material compliance with applicable federal,
state, and local safety, health and environmental regulations.






Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not based
on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements. These statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes,"
"estimates," "expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or the
negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by
discussions of strategy. These statements reflect the Company's reasonable
judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in
the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include competition
in the furniture industry including competition from lower-cost foreign
manufacturers, the Company's success in implementing its blended strategy of
expanded offshore sourcing and domestic manufacturing, disruptions in offshore
sourcing including those arising from supply or distribution disruptions or
changes in political or economic conditions affecting the countries from which
the Company obtains offshore sourcing, the cyclical nature of the furniture
industry, fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most significant raw
material used by the Company, credit exposure to customers in the current
economic climate, capital costs and general economic conditions. Any forward
looking statement speaks only as of the date of this filing, and the Company

Item 2. Properties

Set forth below is certain information with respect to the Company's
principal properties. The Company believes that all these properties are well
maintained and in good condition. All Company plants are equipped with automatic
sprinkler systems and modern fire protection equipment, which management
believes are adequate. All facilities set forth below are active and
operational. Production capacity and extent of utilization of the Company's
facilities are difficult to quantify with certainty because maximum capacity and
utilization varies periodically depending upon the product being manufactured,
the amount of component parts and finished items outsourced, and the utilization
of the labor force at the facility. In this context, the Company estimates that
its facilities operated at approximately 75-80% of capacity in 2002, principally
on a one shift basis. The Company believes available capacity at its facilities
together with the integration of selected imported component parts and finished
items will be adequate to expand production to meet anticipated product
requirements.

2002 Compared to 2001

Net sales increased $5.2 million, or 2.2%, for 2002 compared to 2001. The
increase was due primarily to higher unit volume.

Gross profit margin for 2002 increased to 24.5% from 22.6% in 2001,
excluding restructuring and related charges. The increase was due primarily to
cost savings resulting from closing the Company's former West End, North
Carolina facility, offshore sourcing initiatives and lower raw material cost.
This improvement was partially offset by lower production levels and higher wage
and benefit expenses, primarily increased health care claims and pension
expense. The Company expects these trends to continue in 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2002 as a percentage of
net sales, excluding restructuring charges, increased to 13.6% from 13.0% for
2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million
compared to 2001 primarily as a result of the reinstatement of management
bonuses due to higher earnings, higher selling expenses related to new product
introductions and increased sales. The Company expects increased sourcing
activities along with increases in certain marketing and product development
costs to increase selling, general and administrative expenses in 2003.

As a result, operating income (excluding the unusual and restructuring
charges) increased to $25.9 million, from $22.5 million in 2001.

An unusual charge of $1.8 million ($2.8 million pretax) was recorded in
2001 to write off amounts due from a major customer, which declared bankruptcy
and closed its stores.

In December 2001, the Company announced a plan to expand offshore
sourcing, realign manufacturing capacity and significantly lower operating
costs. Integration of selected imported component parts and finished items in
its product line will lower costs, provide design flexibility and offer a better
value to customers. This initiative created excess capacity in the Company's
manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, the Company decided to close its West
End, North Carolina factory and consolidate production from this facility into
other Company facilities. In 2002, manufacturing operations at the former West
End facility were completely phased out and all closing related activities
including the sale of real estate was completed.

As a result of the West End facility closing, the Company recorded total
restructuring and related charges of $6.5 million. In 2002, the Company recorded
restructuring and related charges, as a component of cost of sales, of $3.5
million pretax, that included $1.7 million for accelerated depreciation and $1.8
million for other exit costs, including plant operating inefficiencies and
severance cost. In 2001, the Company recorded restructuring and related charges
of $3.0 million that included $2.0 million in accelerated depreciation and $1.0
million for other exit costs. The restructuring accrual at December 31, 2002 of
$450,000 consists of a lease obligation for real estate and severance cost.

The Company continues to evaluate its manufacturing capacity needs
considering increased offshore sourcing, current and anticipated demand for its
products, overall market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by
management. Further capacity reductions could cause asset impairment or other
restructuring charges in the future.

Interest expense for 2002 decreased due primarily to lower average debt
levels.

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 35.5% for 2002 from
34.0% in 2001. The lower 2001 percentage was due to lower state income taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate is expected to increase to 36.3% in 2003, due
to higher state taxes resulting from the phase-out of certain state tax credits.

2001 Compared to 2000

Net sales decreased $48.8 million, or 17.2%, for 2001 compared to 2000.
The decrease was due primarily to lower unit volume in bedroom, dining room,
home entertainment and accent tables and to a lesser extent lower unit volume in
the Young America(R) youth bedroom. An unusual charge of $1.8 million ($2.8
million pretax) or $.26 per diluted share was recorded in the second quarter of
2001 to write off amounts due from a major customer, which declared bankruptcy
and closed its stores. The elimination of shipments to this customer, which
represented 7% of sales in 2000 and 2% of sales in 2001, reduced the Company's
sales in 2001. During 2001, the Company adjusted production in response to lower
demand levels. As a result, total inventories at December 31, 2001, declined
$4.9 million compared to the prior year.

Gross profit margin for 2001 decreased to 22.6% from 24.2% in 2000,
excluding restructuring and related charges. The decrease resulted primarily
from lower sales and production in 2001. Start-up costs associated with the new
home office factory, which began production in March 2000, reduced gross profit
in the prior year. Improved performance from this facility partially offset the
impact of lower sales and production levels in 2001. Fourth quarter 2001 results
also benefited from lower raw material costs, primarily lumber.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2001 as a percentage of
net sales, excluding the unusual and restructuring charges, increased to 13.0%
from 11.9% for 2000. The higher percentage was the result of lower net sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $3.2 million compared to
2000 primarily as a result of lower selling expenses directly attributable to
the decrease in sales and the elimination of annual management bonuses for 2001
resulting from lower earnings.

As a result, operating income (excluding the unusual and restructuring
charges) decreased to $22.5 million, from $34.9 million in 2000.

Interest expense for 2001 approximated prior year expense as increased
average debt levels during 2001, resulting from stock repurchases in the later
part of 2000, were offset by lower average borrowing rates.

The Company's effective income tax rate declined to 34.0% for 2001 from
37.0% in 2000, due to lower state income taxes.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generated cash from operations of $16.1 million in 2002
compared to $19.8 million in 2001 and $11.8 million in 2000. The decrease in
2002 compared to 2001 is attributable primarily to reduced collections from
customers as a majority of the sales increase occurred in the fourth quarter of
2002 and will be collected in the first quarter of 2003. Offsetting this
decrease was lower tax payments required during 2002 as overpayments in 2001
were applied to 2002. The increase in 2001 compared to 2000 was attributable
primarily to lower tax payments resulting from lower taxable income and lower
state taxes. The cash generated from operations in 2002, 2001 and 2000 was used
to reduce borrowings, fund capital expenditures and repurchase common stock.

Net cash used by investing activities was $342,000 in 2002 compared to
$4.2 million and $8.7 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company
received net proceeds of $695,000 from the sale of real estate at its former
West End, North Carolina facility. The decline in capital expenditures for 2002
is due to the relocation of a significant portion of the machinery and equipment
from the West End facility to other Company facilities. Net cash used for
capital expenditures in 2000 was $8.8 million, reflecting $2.7 million of prior
year capital expenditures included in accounts payable at December 31, 1999 and
$6.1 million of capital expenditures in 2000. The expenditures in 2002, 2001 and
the remaining expenditures in 2000 were primarily for plant and equipment and
other assets in the normal course of business. Capital expenditures in 2003 are
anticipated to be approximately $2.0 million.

Net cash used by financing activities was $8.5 million, $15.4 million and
$4.9 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. In 2002, cash from operations
and proceeds from the exercise of stock options provided cash for senior debt
payments, repayment of the revolving credit facility and purchase and retirement
of the Company's common stock. In 2001, cash from operations and proceeds from
the issuance of $10.0 million in senior notes provided cash for reduction of
borrowings under the revolving credit facility, senior debt payments, capital
expenditures and purchase and retirement of the Company's common stock. In 2000,
cash from operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided
cash for the purchase and retirement of the Company's common stock, senior debt
payments and capital expenditures.

During 2002, the Company purchased 158,500 shares of its stock in the open
market at an average price of $19.34. At December 31, 2002, approximately $4.9
million remains authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase
shares of the Company's common stock. Consequently, the Company may, from time
to time, either directly or through agents, repurchase its common stock in the
open market, through negotiated purchases or otherwise, at prices and on terms
satisfactory to the Company. Depending on market prices and other conditions
relevant to the Company, such purchases may be discontinued at any time. Also in
2002, 85,914 shares of the Company's common stock were surrendered by an
executive officer to the Company in payment of a $2.6 million outstanding loan
and accrued interest, relating to stock option exercises in 2000.

On January 28, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend
policy of $.20 per share per year, payable quarterly. The aggregate payments for
2003 are expected to be approximately $1.3 million.

At December 31, 2002, long-term debt including current maturities was
$29.6 million. Debt service requirements are $6.9 million in 2003, $7.0 million
in 2004, $4.3 million in 2005, and $2.9 million in 2006. In August 2002, the
revolving credit facility was amended to decrease available borrowings from
$35.0 million to $25.0 million. As of December 31, 2002, approximately $24.2
million of additional borrowings were available under the Company's revolving
credit facility and cash on hand was $9.2 million. The Company believes that its
financial resources are adequate to support its capital needs and debt service
requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management has chosen accounting policies that are necessary to accurately and
fairly report the Company's operational and financial position. Below are the
critical accounting policies that involve the most significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

Allowance for doubtful accounts - The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful receivables for estimated losses resulting from the inability of trade
customers to make required payments. The Company provides an allowance for
specific customer accounts where collection is doubtful and also provides a
general allowance for other accounts based on historical collection and
write-off experience. Judgment is critical because some customers have
experienced financial difficulties. As the financial condition of these
customers change, the level of such allowances will be reevaluated.

Inventory valuation - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost
for all inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
The Company evaluates its inventory to determine excess or slow moving items
based on current order activity and projections of future demand. For those
items identified, the Company estimates its market value or net sales value
based on current trends. An allowance is created for those items having a net
sales value less than cost. This process recognizes projected inventory losses
when they become evident rather than at the time they are sold.

Long-lived assets - Property and intangible assets are reviewed for possible
impairment when events indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Assumptions and estimates used in the evaluation of impairment may
affect the carrying value of long-lived assets, which could result in impairment
charges in future periods. Depreciation and amortization policies reflect
judgments on the estimated useful lives of assets.

Tax Contingencies - Tax contingencies are recorded to address potential
exposures involving tax positions the Company has taken that could be challenged
by taxing authorities. These potential exposures result from the varying
applications of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. The Company's
estimate of the value of its tax contingencies contains assumptions based on
past experiences and judgments about potential actions by taxing jurisdictions.
The ultimate resolution of these matters may be greater or less than the amount
that the Company has accrued.

Pension costs - The Company's pension expense is developed from actuarial
valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including discount
rates and expected return on plan assets, which are usually updated on an annual
basis at the beginning of each year. The Company is required to consider current
market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these
assumptions. Changes in pension costs may occur in the future due to changes in
these assumptions. The key assumptions used in developing 2002 net pension costs
were a 7.25% discount rate and a 7.50% expected return on plan assets. These
were consistent with the prior year assumptions except that the discount rate
was reduced by 35 basis points due to current market conditions. Compared with
the prior year, net pension cost increased $349,000, excluding the impact of
settlement expense. Net pension cost is projected to increase approximately
$425,000 in 2003, excluding the impact of settlement expense, primarily as a
result of a reduction in discount rate from 7.25% in 2002 to 6.50% in 2003, a
reduction in expected return on plan assets from 7.50% in 2002 to 6.50% in 2003
and increased amortization of unrecognized loss. In establishing its expected
return on plan assets assumption, the Company reviews asset allocation
considering plan maturity and develops return assumptions based on different
asset classes adjusting for plan operating expenses. Actual asset over/under
performance compared to expected returns will respectively decrease/increase
unrecognized loss. The change in the unrecognized loss will change amortization
cost in upcoming periods. A one percentage point change in the expected return
assumption in the current year would have resulted in a change in pension
expense of approximately $150,000.

The Company does not have transactions or relationships with "special purpose"
entities, and the Company does not have any off balance sheet financing other
than normal operating leases primarily for showroom and certain technology
equipment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation -Transition and
Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 provides additional guidance for those entities that
elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting
For Stock-Based Compensation". The Company has adopted this pronouncement for
year ending December 31, 2002.

In November 2002, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45)
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 clarifies the
requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies". FIN 45
requires that upon issuances of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a
liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.
The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FIN 45 will have a material
impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,"Accounting for Exit or
Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement and reporting of costs that are associated with exit
and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently
accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31,
2002. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a
material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Because the Company's obligation under its revolving credit facility bears
interest at a variable rate, the Company is sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates
would not have had a material impact on earnings in 2002.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

under the caption "Executive Officers of the Registrant."

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act

the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in
the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the
evaluation referred to above.

Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index
appearing under Item 15(a)(1) on page 16 present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the
financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a) (2)
on page 16 presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes 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. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its accounting policy for goodwill amortization during 2002.

STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include Stanley Furniture Company,
Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a
leading designer and manufacturer of wood furniture exclusively targeted at the
upper-medium price range of the residential market.

The Company operates in one business segment. Substantially all revenues
result from the sale of residential furniture products. Substantially all of the
Company's trade accounts receivable are due from retailers in this market, which
consists of a large number of entities with a broad geographical dispersion.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at the time risks and rewards of ownership transfer
to the buyer.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost for all
inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the
straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives. Gains and losses
related to dispositions and retirements are included in income. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to income as incurred; renewals and betterments are
capitalized.

Capitalized Software Cost
The Company amortizes certain purchased computer software costs using the
straight-line method over the economic lives of the related products not to
exceed five years. Unamortized cost at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $237,000
and $439,000, respectively.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between the
consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense represents the change in the deferred
tax asset/liability balance. Income tax credits are reported as a reduction of
income tax expense in the year in which the credits are generated. The Company
currently provides for income tax contingencies.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis based on the incremental borrowing rates currently
available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. At
December 31, 2002, the fair value approximated the carrying amount. The fair
value of trade receivables, trade payables and letters of credit approximate the
carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Pension Plans
The Company's funding policy is to contribute to all qualified plans
annually an amount equal to the normal cost and a portion of the unfunded
liability, but not to exceed the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal
income tax purposes.


STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the increase in average
common shares outstanding that would result from the assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.

Stock Options
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in
accounting for stock options and discloses the fair value of options granted as
permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted
under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the common
stock at date of grant.

The estimated per share weighted-average fair value of stock options
granted during 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $14.36, $14.70 and $15.86, respectively,
on the date of grant. A risk-free interest rate of 4.0%, 5.1% and 5.0% for 2002,
2001 and 2000, respectively, and a 50% volatility rate with an expected life of
10 years was assumed in estimating the fair value for all three years.

The following table summarizes the pro forma effects assuming compensation
cost for such awards had been recorded based upon the estimated fair value (in
thousands, except per share data):

Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Changes in such estimates may affect amounts
reported in future periods.

2. Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company approved a plan in the fourth quarter of 2001 to close its former
West End, North Carolina facility and consolidate production from this facility
into other Company facilities as a result of excess capacity created by expanded
offshore sourcing. Manufacturing operations were phased out during the first
half of 2002, including the sale of real estate. As a result of the above, the
Company recorded net restructuring and related charges of $3.5 million in 2002
and $3.0 million in 2001. The restructuring accrual at December 31, 2002,
consists of a lease obligation and severance cost.

The following summarizes the 2002 and 2001 restructuring and related charges (in
thousands):

In August 2002, the revolving credit facility was amended to decrease
available borrowings from $35.0 million to $25.0 million through August 2003,
automatically renewable thereafter for one year periods unless terminated by
either party. Interest under the facility is payable monthly at prime (4.25% on
December 31, 2002) or, at the Company's option, the reserve adjusted LIBOR plus
..75% per annum (1.38% on December 31, 2002). The Company utilizes letters of
credit to collateralize certain insurance policies and inventory purchases.
Outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2002, were $1.1 million. At
December 31, 2002, $24.2 million of additional borrowings were available under
the revolving credit facility, after adjusting for a $780,000 letter of credit.

The above loan agreements require the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants. The Company's ability to pay dividends with respect to its
common stock and to repurchase its common stock is restricted to $25.0 million
plus 50% of the Company's consolidated net earnings, adjusted for net cash
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its stock and the amount of
payments for redemption, purchase or other acquisition of its capital stock,
subsequent to January 1, 1999. At December 31, 2002, these covenants limit funds
available to pay dividends and repurchase the Company's common stock to $29.4
million.

Annual debt service requirements are $6.9 million in 2003, $7.0 million in
2004, $4.3 million in 2005, $2.9 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2007.

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost ... $436 $432 $440
==== ==== ====


The weighted-average discount rates used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation were 6.50% in 2002, 7.25% in
2001 and 7.60% in 2000. The rate of increase in future health care benefit cost
used in determining the obligation for 2002 was 10.0% gradually decreasing to
5.0% beginning in 2011, for 2001 was 11.0% gradually decreasing to 5.0%
beginning in 2011 and for 2000 was 7.5% gradually decreasing to 5.5% beginning
in 2004.

An increase or decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate of one
percentage point in each future year would affect the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation at December 31, 2002, by approximately $80,000 and the annual
postretirement benefit cost by approximately $12,000.

Deferred Compensation

The Company has a deferred compensation plan, funded with life insurance
policies, which permits certain management employees to defer portions of their
compensation and earn a fixed rate of return. The accrued liabilities relating
to this plan of $1.6 million at December 31, 2002 and $1.5 million at December
31, 2001 are included in accrued salaries, wages and benefits and other
long-term liabilities. The cash surrender value, net of policy loans, is
included in other assets. Policy loan interest of $789,000, $703,000 and
$616,000 was charged to interest expense in 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases showroom space and certain technology equipment. Rental
expenses charged to operations were $1.2 million, $1.4 million and $1.6 million
in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments are
approximately as follows: 2003 - $780,000; 2004 - $607,000; 2005 - $59,000; 2006
- - $7,000 and 2007 - $0.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in claims and
lawsuits, none of which currently, in management's opinion, will have a material
adverse affect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 provides additional guidance for those entities that
elect to voluntarily adopt the accounting provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting
For Stock-Based Compensation". The Company has adopted this pronouncement for
year ending December 31, 2002 and has included the required disclosures in this
form 10K.

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45)
"Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 clarifies the
requirements of FASB Statement No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies". FIN 45
requires that upon issuances of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a
liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee.
The Company does not anticipate the adoption of FIN 45 will have a material
impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Exit or Disposal
Activities". SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the
recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs that are associated with exit
and disposal activities, including restructuring activities that are currently
accounted for pursuant to the guidance that the Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") has set forth in EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 is
effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31,
2002. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS No. 146 will have a
material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
