General

     Stanley FurnitureThe Company Inc. ("Stanley" or the "Company") is a leading designer and manufacturer of
residential furniture exclusively targeted at the upper-medium

North America, based on sales, according to Furniture Today, a
trade publication.  During 1994,offers diversified product lines across
all major style and product categories within this price range.

     In November 1992,national and regional furniture chains.  To produce its
products and support its broad distribution network, the Company
completed a comprehensive
financial restructuring.  As a result,has developed efficient and flexible manufacturing processes that
it believes are unique in the furniture industry.  The Company

enable it to continue providing competitive advantages to its
customers, such as quick delivery, reduced inventory investment,
high quality, and the only outstanding class of the

     In connection with the financial restructuring, the Company
closed its Waynesboro, Virginia facility in 1992 to eliminate
excess capacity, and initiated the sale of the Norman's of
Salisbury fabric division ("Norman's").  In June 1994, the Company
ceased operations at Norman's.

StrategyStyles

     The Company's marketing strategy is to penetrate all available
distribution channels compatible with its price niche and to be a
single-source provider by offering a broad range of product lines cover  all major design
categories, and styles.  Product lines include bedroom, dining room, youth occasionalbedroom (Young
AmericaTM), living room tables, entertainment centers, home office

The Company believes that its strategy of penetrating
all available distribution channels compatible with its price niche
provides it with flexibility to adapt to market changes.

     The Company believes its operating strategy provides its
customers with a competitive advantage.  In order to respond to
demand for shorter lead timesproducts represent good value and improved quality, the Company's
manufacturing process focuses on producing smaller, more frequent
and cost effective production runs.  As a result, the Company
achieved its goal of shipping customer orders within three weeks on
average during 1995, with average finished goods inventory turns of
5.2 times.  In addition, management believes this operating
strategy has helped to improve product quality.  Quick delivery and
high quality reduce the retailer's inventory investment while
minimizing the retailer's re-delivery costs and price markdowns. 
The Company uses the marketing theme, "We Just Look Expensive,"
because it believes
that the design, quality and style of its furniture compare favorably with
more premium-priced products.  ProductsTo emphasize this comparison the

     UpholsteredThe Company introduced upholstered furniture products were initially introduced in the
Fallfall of 1994, andallowing the Company to expand its product offerings
in the upper-medium price range.  The Company's entry into the
upholstery business takes advantage of its existing distribution
network without requiring a significant capital investment.  The
Company's upholstered products consist mainly of stationary sofas,
sleepers, love seats, and chairs.  TheSince initial introduction, the
Company has expanded its upholstered products in 1995 and nowcurrently offers
a variety of frameframes and approximately 500 fabric selections.

     

MarketingThe Company designs and Salesdevelops new product styles each year
to replace discontinued items or styles and, if desired, 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.
The Company's engineering department then prepares the prototype
for actual full-scale production.  The Company consults with its
marketing personnel, sales representatives, and selected customers
throughout this process and introduces its new product styles at
the fall and spring international furniture markets.


Distribution

     The Company has developed a diversebroad domestic and extensive nationwideinternational
customer base which the Company believes provides it with
flexibility to adapt to market changes.  The Companyand sells its furniture products through approximately 6070
independent sales representatives to independent furniture
retailers; national
accounts such as Searsretailers and J.C. Penney; national and regional chain stores such as Homestead House, Huffman-Koos,stores.  Representative
customers include Sears, J.C. Penney, Rhodes, Rooms To Go, Breuners
Home Furnishings, Robb & Stucky, R C
WilleyNebraska Furniture Mart,
Furnitureland South, and Rhodes; and major department stores such as Federated
Department Stores.  Products are also distributed internationally
with approximately 7% of the Company's sales from international
customers.Haverty's.  The Company currently has approximately 3,600 active
customers.

     In marketingbelieves this
broad network reduces its productsexposure to independent retailers, theregional recessions, and
allows it to capitalize on emerging channels of distribution.  The
Company utilizes a promotional incentive sales program, the
"Stanley Preferred Retailer".  This program is designedoffers tailored merchandising programs to encourage the independent retailer to commit retail floor space to
the Company's products.  The program is designed to be flexible and
is adapted into the marketing plansaddress each
channel of retailers by accommodating
geographic, style and promotional preferences.  To participate, a
retailer must commit a specified amount of floor space to the
Company's products and achieve a specified sales volume.distribution.  

     The general marketing practice followed in the furniture
industry is to exhibit products at international and regional
furniture markets.  In the Springspring and Fallfall of each year, an eight-
daya nine-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, attracting
buyers from the United States and abroad.market.  The Company maintainsutilizes approximately 60,000
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 over 3,600 customers during the past
twelve months, and approximately 8% of the Company's sales in the San Francisco
regional market.1997
were to international customers.  No single customer accounted for
more than 10%ten percent of the Company's sales in 1995.1997.  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.  


There are no
significant seasonal aspects to the Company's business.

Product Design and Development

     The Company's marketing personnel begin the design process by
identifying marketing needs to be fulfilled and conceptualizing
product ideas, generally consisting of a group of related furniture
pieces.  A variety of sketches are produced, usually by Company
designers, from which prototype furniture pieces are prepared in
consultation with marketing personnel, selected dealers and sales
representatives.  The Company's engineering department then
processes the prototype in preparation for actual full-scale
production.  Consistent with industry practice, the Company designs
and develops new product groups each year, replacing discontinued
items or collections.

Manufacturing

     The Company's manufacturing operations complement its marketingproduct
and distribution strategy by emphasizing superiorcontinuous improvement in
quality and quick
delivery.customer responsiveness while reducing costs.  The
Company's manufacturing process producesprocesses produce smaller, more frequent
and cost effective runs byruns.  The Company focuses on identifying and
eliminating manufacturing bottlenecks and waste, employing
statistical process control establishingand, in turn, adjusting manufacturing
schedules on a daily basis, using cellular manufacturing in the
production of components, and improving its relationships with
suppliers.suppliers by establishing primary supplier relationships.  In
addition, a key element of the Company's manufacturing processprocesses is
to involve all Company personnel, from hourly associates to
management, in the improvement of the manufacturing processprocesses by
encouraging and responding to suggested methodsideas to improve quality and to
reduce manufacturing lead times.

     The Company operates manufacturing facilities in North
Carolina and Virginia consisting of an aggregate of approximately 
3more than three
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 through manufacturing rather
than inventory.  As a result, the Company shipped customer orders
within 16.3 days on average during 1997 with average finished goods
inventory turns of 6.2.  Since the Company ships customer orders on
average in less than three 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 $34.9
million at December 31, 1997 and $23.6 million at December 31,
1996.

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, metals; andmetals, frames, filling, and cushioning materials for
upholstered products.materials.  The
Company uses a variety of species of lumber, including cherry, oak,
ash, poplar, pine, maple, and mahogany.  The Company's five largest
suppliers accounted for approximately 22%21% of its purchases in 1995.1997.

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 fourteenth largest furniture manufacturer
in North America based on 1996 sales, according to Furniture/Today,
a trade publication.  The furniture industry has experienced increased prices for lumber during the
past several years, which is the most significant raw material used
by the Company, although there was a moderation in lumber price
increases during 1995.  While the industry has historically
increased prices to reflect such increased costs, there can be no
assurance that, if raw material prices increase, market and
competitive pressures will permit the Company or its competitors to
increase the prices for their products.

Backlog

     The Company schedules production of its various groups based
upon actual or anticipated orders.  The Company, and the furniture
industry, generally honor cancellation of orders prior to shipment,
although cancellations generally decrease as demand increases.  The
Company's backlog of unshipped orders was $21.5 million, $17.4
million, and $26.6 million at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  The Company's manufacturing process is intended to
reduce backlog and to fill orders through manufacturing rather than
inventory.  Therefore, management believes that the size of its
backlog is not necessarily indicative of its operations.

Competition

     The furniture market  is  highly 
competitive and  includes a large number of foreign and domestic
manufacturers.manufacturers, none of which dominates the market.  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 greater financial resources
than the Company.  While competition occurs principallyCompetitive factors in the areas ofupper-medium price
range include style, price, quality, delivery, design, service, design and
price, thedurability.  The Company believes that its operating strategy,manufacturing processes,
its long-standing customer relationships with
its customers,and customer
responsiveness, its consistent support of existing diverse product
lines over timethat are high quality and good value, and its experienced
management experience are competitive advantages.

Associates

     At December 31, 1995,1997, the Company employed approximately 2,7002,800
associates.  None of the Company's associates areis represented by a
labor union.  The Company considers its relations with its
associates to be good.

Patents and 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 quality in the furniture industry. 
The Company owns a number of patents, trademarks, and licenses,
none of which areis considered to be material to the Company.

     The Company is regulated under severalsubject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained elsewhere herein. Results of Operations The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items included in the Statements of Income: For the Years Ended December 31, 1997 1996 1995 Net sales...............................100.0% 100.0% 100.0% Cost of sales........................... 75.3 75.9 79.0 Gross profit.......................... 24.7 24.1 21.0 Selling, general and administrative expenses...............................14.1 15.1 15.2 Unusual items, net.......................

1997 Compared to 19941996 Net sales decreased $10.2increased $10.0 million, or 5.5%5.0%, from 1994 levelsfor 1997 compared to 1996. The increase was due principallyprimarily to lower unit volume, partially offset by the additional volume from the upholstered products and higher average selling prices.prices and to a lesser extent higher unit volume. Gross profit margin for 1997 increased to 21.0%24.7% from 19.5% in 1994.24.1% for the comparable 1996 period. The higher gross profit margin was due principallyprimarily to increased prices, a moderation in lumber cost increases, a more favorable product mix and the favorable impact from the purchase of the previously leased manufacturing facilities discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements. The increase in gross profit was slightly offset by an increased overhead absorption rate resulting from lower output levels in 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately the same for both years. However,raw material costs as a percentage of net sales theseand improved operating efficiencies. However, gross profit margin declined from 25.2% for the first half of 1997 to 24.4% for the second half of 1997, due primarily to increased lumber cost. Management expects this trend to continue into 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 14.1% and 15.1% for 1997 and 1996, respectively. These expenses were lower in 1997 due primarily to lower selling expenses and a reduced provision for bad debts. As a result of the above, operating income increased to 15.2%$22.5 million, or 10.6% of net sales, from $18.2 million, or 9.0% of net sales, in 1996. Interest expense for the 1997 period increased due to higher debt levels resulting from the Company's June and November 1997 repurchases of its common stock. Including the December 1996 purchase of 150,000 shares, the Company acquired a total of 1,313,201 shares of its common stock for a total consideration of $27.6 million. The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.0% and 38.5% for 1997 and 1996, respectively. 1996 Compared to 1995 from 14.4% in 1994.Net sales increased $27.7 million, or 15.9%, for 1996 compared to 1995. The higher percentageincrease was due principally to lowerhigher unit volume. Gross profit margin for 1996 increased to 24.1% from 21.0% for the comparable 1995 period. The higher gross profit margin was due primarily to stabilizing raw material costs, improved operating efficiencies, and the leveraging of fixed costs due to increased production levels. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 15.1% and 15.2% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. These expenses increased for the 1996 period due principally to (i) higher selling cost resulting from increased sales and increased selling cost associated with new products.merchandising expenses, (ii) increased compensation expense pursuant to the Company's incentive compensation plan for key employees, and (iii) increased provision for bad debts. During the second quarter of 1995, the Company wasrecognized an unusual item consisting of the net effect of (i) an accrual reversal as a result of being released from a lease obligation at its previously closed Waynesboro, Virginia manufacturing facility. Accordingly, the Company recognizedfacility and (ii) a pretax credit of $1.1 million related to the reversal of an accrual set up in 1991 for the closing of the facility. Unusual items also included a pretax charge for severance resulting from the resignation of the Company's Chief Operating Officer. As a result of the above, operating income increased to $10.2 million, or 5.9%, of net sales from $9.4 million, or 5.1%, of net sales in 1994. The Company estimates that upholstery operations reduced operating income by approximately $1.0 million for both 1995 and 1994. Interest expense for 1995 increased due principally to higher debt levels, resulting from the purchase of two previously leased manufacturing facilities in June 1995 and also due to slightly higher interest rates. The Company's effective tax rate in 1995 decreased to 38.0% from 38.9% in 1994. The lower tax rate in 1995 is principally due to an increase in non-taxable income and increased benefits from export sales. 1994 Compared to 1993 Net sales increased $17.3 million, or 10.3%, from 1993 levels due principally to higher average selling prices and higher unit volume. Lower unit volume in the 1993 period was due principally to the disruption in production caused by the 1993 fire at the Stanleytown, Virginia facility. Gross profit margin decreased to 19.5% from 22.2% in 1993. The higher gross profit percentage for 1993 was due principally to the recognition of $5.0 million of business interruption insurance without the related sales revenue. This $5.0 million represented the estimated settlement proceeds for gross profits lost and other direct costs related to lost sales from the Stanleytown fire. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was 14.4% and 15.5% for 1994 and 1993, respectively. The lower percentage was due principally to an increase in net sales and containment of cost.former officer. As a result of the above, operating income for 1994 decreased1996 increased to $9.4$18.2 million, or 5.1%,9.0% of net sales, from $11.2$10.2 million, or 6.7%,5.9% of net sales, in 1993. Operating income was reduced by upholstery startup costs of approximately $1.0 million, in 1994. In 1994, the Company reached a final insurance settlement on the 1993 fire and recorded a pretax gain of $2.4 million. Interest expense approximated the 1993 period due principally to lower average debt levels, which was offset by higher interest rates.1995. The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 38.9% from 41.1% in 1993. The higher 1993 rate was due principally to the effect of the 1% federal statutory rate increase on the prior years' deferred tax balances.38.5% and 38.0% for 1996 and 1995, respectively. Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources During August 1995,In November 1997, the Company amendedissued $10.0 million of 7.43% senior notes due 2007 in a private placement of debt. The proceeds were used to purchase 413,201 shares of its $25.0 million revolving credit facility which extendedcommon stock from the ML-Lee Acquisition Fund, L.P. and its maturity date to August 1998. The interest rate under the facility was reduced to prime (8.5% on December 31, 1995) or, at the Company's option, equal to reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum.affiliates. In June 1995, the Company issued a $10.0 million 7.57% senior note due 2005 in a private placement of debt and thedebt. The proceeds were used to purchase two previously leased manufacturing facilities. In February 1994, the Company completed the private placement of $30.0At December 31, 1997, long-term debt including current maturities was $52.6 million. Approximately $19.1 million of 7.28% senior notes due 2004. The proceeds from the senior notes were used to repay an existing term note andadditional borrowing capacity was available under a portion of the revolving credit facility.

Aggregate maturities of long-term1997, without obtaining lender consent. Annual debt for the next five yearsservice requirements are as follows: 1996 - $650,000; 1997 - $878,000;$5.1 million in 1998, - $6.0 million;$9.1 million in 1999, - $5.1 million;$5.2 million in 2000, - $5.2 million. As of December 31, 1995, approximately $21.9$6.7 million of additional borrowings were available under the revolving credit facility.in 2001, and $6.8 million in 2002. The Company believes that its financial resources are adequate to support its capital needs and debt service requirements. The Company has and will continue to make certain investments in its software systems and applications to ensure the Company is year 2000 compliant. The financial impact to the Company has not been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given year. Operating Cash Flows The Company generated cash from operations of $8.3 million in 1997 compared to $15.3 million in 1996. The decrease in cash generated from operations was due primarily to higher payments to suppliers and employees due to increased production. Also, cash was required to fund higher tax payments resulting from higher taxable income in 1997. The Company used the cash generated from operations in 1997 and 1996 to fund capital expenditures, reduce borrowings and repurchase its common stock. During 1995, cash generated from operations of $6.6 million was used to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit facility and to fund capital expenditures in the normal course of business. The increase in cash generated from operations was due principally to lower tax payments of $1.0 million compared to $4.5 million in 1994. Tax payments were higher in 1994 principally due to the timing of installment payments for 1993, resulting from the utilization of net operating losses carried forward from 1992. Also, refunds attributed to 1994 reduced tax payments for 1995. Cash generated from operations, also increased as a result of less cash paid to suppliers and employees due to reduced production levels. During 1994, cash provided by operations of $4.1 million and net borrowings of $1.2 million were used to fund capital expenditures. Cash generated from operations in 1993 of $6.5 million was used to fund capital expenditures and to reduce borrowings under the senior credit facility. Operating cash flows in both 1994 and 1993 include proceeds of $4.6 and $23.2 million, respectively, received from insurance in connection with the fire. Cash paid to suppliers in 1994 and 1993 included costs of $2.7 million and $25.2 million, respectively, incurred in connection with the fire. Excluding the effect of the fire, cash was required in the 1994 period to support higher accounts receivable requirements reflecting higher sales levels, higher payments to suppliers and employees as a result of higher production levels and higher tax payments as discussed above. These higher payments in the 1994 period were partially offset by lower interest payments due principally to lower debt levels. Excluding the cash flow impact from the fire, cash provided by operating activities improved $12.1 million in 1993 principally from higher customer receipts, lower payments for the restructuring program and lower interest payments.Investing Activities Net cash used by investing activities was $4.2 million in 1997 compared to $4.0 million and $14.7 million in 1996 and 1995, compared to $5.2 million and $4.3 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Expenditures inplant facilities for $10.5 million. The 1997 and 1996 expenditures, and the 1994 period include the purchase of equipment and other capitalremaining expenditures for the new upholstery operation of approximately $727,000. Except for fire related expenditures in 1993, which were reimbursed by insurance, and the manufacturing facilities purchased in 1995, expenditures in each year were primarily for plant and equipment and other assets in the normal course of business. Financing Activities Net cash providedused by financing activities was $8.1$11.5 million and $3.5 million in 19951997 and 1996, respectively, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.2$8.1 million in 19941995. In 1997, the purchase of common stock was financed by the private placement of debt, the revolving credit facility and cash usedgenerated from operations. In 1996, the purchase of common stock and the reduction in borrowings were financed by financing activitiescash generated from operations. The 1995 borrowings provided cash for the purchase of $2.7 million in 1993. Cash provided by financing activities in the 1994 period was used to fundtwo previously leased plant facilities and other capital expenditures.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Basis of Presentation Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading designer and manufacturer of furniture exclusively targeted at the upper-medium price range of the residential market. The Company operates predominantly in one business segment. Substantially all revenues result from the sale of home furnishings, primarily residential furniture products. Substantially all of the Company's trade accounts receivable are due from retailers in this market, which consistconsists of a large number of entities with a broad geographical dispersion. 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 of the assets and amounted to $4.5 million, $4.0 million and $3.7 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Depreciable lives are as follows: Years Buildings................................. 40 to 50 Machinery and equipment................... 5 to 12 Leasehold improvements.................... 3 to 20 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment.. 3 to 10lives. 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, 19951997 and 19941996 was $473,000$838,000 and $39,000,$720,000, respectively. F-7 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Goodwill and Long-lived Assets Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The Company continually evaluates the existence of impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, on the basis of whether it is fully recoverable from projected, undiscounted net cash flows. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are determined based on the difference between the 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 federal income tax expense in the year in which the credits are generated. F-7 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 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, and atmaturities. At December 31, 1995,1997, 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. Earnings Perper Common Share EarningsThe Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", resulting in the restatement of earnings per share for all prior periods. Basic earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding. AllOutstanding stock options are treated as common stock equivalents for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share and per share data have been restatedrepresent the difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to reflectmake estimates and assumptions that affect the one-for-two reverse stock split, effective July 1993.amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

During 1994, the Company entered into a contractual agreement to issue 50,000 shares of common stock to the chief executive officer at $10.00 per share (the market price on the date of the agreement) in exchange for a non-recourse 7.6% note receivable. One tenth of the principal amount plus accrued interest is due each December 31 until 1998 and the remaining principal is due January 2, 1999. The Company agreed to forgive the accrued interest plus one tenth of the initial principal amount each December 31, if the executive remains employed by the Company. During 1996, the Company agreed to forgive the outstanding loan balance over the remaining three years, subject to the executive's continued employment. Compensation expense was $285,000, $308,000 and $98,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Assuming the shares were repurchased at the beginning of the year and financed entirely by borrowings under the revolving credit facility at an assumed rate of 7.25%, the pro forma diluted earnings per share would have been $2.77 for 1997. F-12 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.

A reduction in the discount rate of 0.25% would create an additional minimum pension liability of $5.4 million and would result in a charge to stockholders' equity of $3.3 million, net of deferred taxes, at December 31, 1997. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company provides health care benefits to eligible retired employees between the ages of 55 and 65 and provides life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees from age 55 until death. Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible for these benefits after satisfying service and age provisions. Employees who elect benefits at retirement contribute to the cost of coverage. The plan is unfunded. F-14 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6.

The weighted-average discount rates used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 7.00%, 7.75% and 7.67% for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The above loan agreements requirerate of increase in future health care benefit cost used in determining the obligation for 1997 was 9% gradually decreasing to 5.5% beginning in 2004; for 1996 was 10% gradually decreasing to 5.5% beginning in 2003; and, for 1995 was 12% gradually decreasing to 6% beginning in 2002. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by one percentage point in each future year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1997, by $101,000 and the annual postretirement benefit cost by $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 Company's federal income tax returns have been examined and closed by the Internal Revenue Service through 1992. 6. Stock Options and Loan Plan In December 1994, the Company adopted the Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"). The 1994 Plan and the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan provide for the granting of stock options for up to an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock to certain key employees. Options granted may be either nonqualified or qualified stock options and the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the options are granted. Granted options vest 20% annually. F-12 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 6. Stock Options and Loan Plan (continued) At December 31, 1995 and 1994, options to purchase 229,023 and 182,297 shares, respectively, were exercisable and 16,935 were available for grant at December 31, 1995.

Under the Executive Loan Plan, the Company has entered into a contractual agreement to issue 50,000 shares of common stock to the Chief Executive Officer at $10 per share (the market price per share on the date of the agreement) in exchange for a non-recourse 7.6% note receivable payable in five annual installments with the balance due January 2, 1999. The Company has also agreed to forgive interest plus one half of the contractual purchase price over the next five years, if the Chief Executive Officer remains employed by the Company. The contractual agreement under the Executive Loan Plan with the former Chief Operating Officer was cancelled in July 1995. Accordingly, net compensation expense including interest and income taxes was $98,000 and $160,000 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. 7. Employee Benefit Plans Pension Plans The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Stanley Retirement Plan"), covering substantially all employees. The benefits provided by the plan are based on an employee's years of service and average compensation. Plan assets are invested principally in fixed income and equity instruments. The Company also maintains a supplemental retirement plan covering certain key employees (the "Supplemental Plan"). F-13 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued) A Supplemental Plan participant who retires under any provision of the Stanley Retirement Plan will receive a supplemental retirement allowance equal to the excess, if any, of an eligible employee's benefit under the Stanley Retirement Plan in effect on January 1, 1987, over his benefit actually received at retirement. The Supplemental Plan is unfunded and benefit payments are made directly from Company assets. Effective December 31, 1995, the Company amended both the Stanley Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Plan to cease future benefit accruals under the plans. Accordingly, the Company recognized a pretax loss on curtailment of $31,000. The following table sets forth the plans' financial status at December 31 (in thousands): 1995 1994 Stanley Supple- Stanley Supple- Retirement mental Retirement mental Plan Plan Plan Plan Accumulated benefit obligation: Vested........................ $(14,641) $(897) $(10,603) $ (483) Nonvested.....................

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued) The assumptions used as of December 31 to determine the plans' funded status, pension cost and loss on curtailment were: 1995 1994 1993 Discount rate for funded status..... 7.67% 9.00% 7.75% Discount rate for pension cost...... 9.00% 7.75% 8.25% Salary progression.................. 5.00% 5.00% 4.00% Return on assets.................... 7.75% 8.00% 8.25% A reduction in the discount rate of 0.25% would create an additional minimum pension liability of $3.9 million and would result in a charge to stockholders' equity of $2.3 million, net of deferred taxes. 401(k) Plan The Company also maintains the Stanley 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan ("401(k) Plan") for all of its eligible employees. Through December 31, 1995, the plan allowed for contributions by employees up to 20% of their salaries and also permitted discre- tionary contributions by the Company, although no discretionary contributions have been made to the plan by the Company. In connection with the curtailment of benefits in the Stanley Retirement Plan and Supplemental Plan, the Company amended its 401(k) Plan and expects to begin making discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions in 1996. Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions The Company provides certain health care benefits to eligible retired employees between the ages of 55 and 65 and provides certain life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees from age 55 until death. Substantially all of the Company's employees are eligible for these benefits after attaining specified years of service and age provisions. Employees who elect benefits at retirement contribute to the cost of coverage. The plan is unfunded. Prior to 1993, the Company expensed the cost of these benefits when paid. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." Accordingly, the expected cost of retiree benefits, other than pensions, are charged to expense during the years the employees render service. F-15 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued) The Company elected to recognize the January 1, 1993, obligation of $8.1 million through charges to earnings over 20 years. On March 3, 1993, the Company also adopted plan design changes which reduced the January 1, 1993, obligation to $2.9 million. The following table sets forth the plan's financial status at December 31 (in thousands): 1995 1994 Retirees.................................... $(4,875) $(4,769) Fully eligible active plan participants.....

The rate of increase in future health care benefit cost used in determining the obligation for 1995 was 12% gradually decreasing to 6% beginning in 2002; for 1994 was 15% gradually decreasing to 7% beginning in 2005; and, for 1993 was 17% gradually decreasing to 5.75% beginning in 2007. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by one percentage point in each future year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 1995 by $307,000 and the aggregate of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1995 by $31,000. F-16 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued) Deferred Compensation The Company has a deferred compensation plan which permits certain management employees to defer portions of their compensation. The employees earn a fixed rate of interest on the deferred amounts. The plan is funded through the purchase of whole life insurance contracts on the employees, and the Company borrows against the cash surrender value of these policies to fund any benefit payments. The accrued liabilities relating to this plan of $1.4 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, 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. 8. Insurance Claim Accounting In February 1993, a fire at the Stanleytown, Virginia facility damaged approximately 12% of the Company's total manufacturing facilities. The Company's insurance coverage provided for the complete replacement of the damaged building (which was leased), equipment and inventory, and reimbursement for business interruption losses. The Company recorded business interruption insurance in 1993 based on estimated profits attributed to lost sales since the fire. The amount recognized represents the estimated gross profit that would have been realized on lost sales. Accordingly, $5.0 million of estimated income from business interruption insurance is included in gross profit in 1993. Also, a $2.2 million pretax gain was recorded in 1993 since proceeds from insurance exceeded the book value of leasehold improvements and equipment destroyed in the fire. In 1994, the Company reached a final insurance settlement and recorded a gain of $2.4 million. 9. Discontinued Operations Beginning in 1991, Norman's was reflected as a discontinued operation. In 1994, the Company ceased operations at Norman's and liquidated the division resulting in a $2.8 million ($4.5 million pretax) additional loss provision. Net sales applicable to Norman's were $4.1 million and $12.1 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively. F-17 STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. Leases The Company leased a substantial portion of its facilities under operating leases through June 1995, at which time the Company purchased these facilities, as described in Note 2. Rental expenses charged to operations were $1.4 million, $1.9 million and $2.0 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company continues to lease two showrooms and certain other equipment. Future minimum lease payments, net of subleases, are approximately as follows: 1996 - $769,000; 1997 - $801,000; 1998 -$534,000; 1999 - -$354,000; and thereafter - $12,000. 11. Related Party Transactions Approximately 58% of the Company's common stock is owned by the ML-Lee Acquisition Fund, L.P. (the "Majority Stockholder") and certain affiliates of the Thomas H. Lee Company. The Company has entered into a management agreement with an affiliate of its Majority Stockholder. Fees paid pursuant to this agreement amounted to $250,000 annually in 1995, 1994 and 1993. 12. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
