Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General
We are a leading designer and manufacturer of residential wood furniture
exclusively targeted at the upper-medium price range. We offer diversified
product lines across all major style and product categories within this price
range. This product depth and extensive style selection makes us a complete wood
furniture resource for retailers in our price range and allows us to respond
more quickly to shifting consumer preferences. We have established a broad
distribution network that includes independent furniture stores, department
stores and regional furniture chains. To provide our products and support this
broad distribution network, we have implemented a blended operating strategy
combining efficient and flexible manufacturing processes with offshore sourcing
of component parts and finished goods. We emphasize continuous improvement in
our manufacturing and sourcing processes to enable us to continue providing
competitive advantages to our customers, such as quick delivery, reduced
inventory investment, high quality and value.
In 2001, we started to expand our offshore sourcing as we began
implementing our blended operating strategy. The increased offshore sourcing
created excess capacity in our manufacturing facilities and we closed our former
West End, North Carolina facility beginning in late 2001 and realigned
production at our Lexington, North Carolina facility in 2003.
Products and Styles
Our product offerings cover all major design categories and include
dining room, bedroom, home office, home entertainment, accent tables and youth
furniture marketed as Young America(R). Recently we began expanding our Young
America(R) offerings to include playroom and infant furniture marketed as Young
America Baby(TM). We believe that the diversity of our product lines enables us
to anticipate and respond quickly to changing consumer preferences and provides
retailers a complete wood furniture resource in the upper-medium price range. We
believe that our products represent good value and that the quality and style of
our furniture compare favorably with more premium-priced products.
We provide products in a variety of woods, veneers and finishes. Our
products are designed to appeal to a broad range of consumers and cover all
major style categories including American and European traditional,
contemporary/modern, transitional and cottage designs.
We design and develop new product styles each year to replace
discontinued items or styles and, if desired, to expand product lines. Our
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. We consult with our marketing personnel, sales representatives and
selected customers throughout this process and introduce our new product styles
primarily at the fall and spring international furniture markets.
Distribution
We have developed a broad domestic and international customer base and
sell our furniture through approximately 50 independent sales representatives to
independent furniture retailers, department stores and regional furniture
chains. Representative customers in alphabetical order include, Carson Pirie
Scott, Dillards, Furnitureland South, Jordan's, Marshall Fields, Nebraska
Furniture Mart, Raymour & Flanigan, Robb & Stucky, Louis Shanks and Rooms To Go
Kids. We believe this broad network reduces exposure to regional recessions, and
allows us to capitalize on emerging channels of distribution. We offer 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, a seven-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. We utilize approximately 63,000 square feet of
showroom space at the High Point market to introduce new products, increase
sales of our existing products and test ideas for future products.
We sold to approximately 2,800 customers during 2004 and approximately 4%
of our sales in 2004 were to international customers. No single customer
accounted for more than ten percent of our sales in 2004. No material part of
the business is dependent upon a single customer, the loss of which would have a
material effect on our business. The loss of several major customers could have
a material impact on our business.
Manufacturing and Offshore Sourcing
Our manufacturing strategy combines offshore sourcing with domestic
manufacturing. Domestic manufacturing operations complement our 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. We focus 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 our relationships with suppliers by establishing primary supplier
relationships. In addition, a key element of our 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. Furthermore,
each of our manufacturing facilities is focused on compatible products to
improve quality and lower production costs.
We also integrate the sourcing of selected component parts and finished
items with our domestic manufacturing operations to further enhance our product
and distribution strategy. We acquire selected finished items and component
parts from a limited number of offshore suppliers who can meet our quality
specifications, production efficiency and scheduling requirements. Approximately
28% of our sales volume in 2004 came from products sourced from six countries
with China representing the largest volume. We anticipate this percentage to be
about the same in 2005.
We operate manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Virginia
consisting of an aggregate of approximately 3.2 million square feet. We consider
our facilities to be generally modern, well-equipped and well-maintained.
We shipped customer orders within 17 days on average during 2004. We
schedule production of our various styles based upon actual and anticipated
orders. To support our delivery performance, we maintain a higher inventory
level of sourced products compared to those we manufacture. Consequently,
finished goods inventory levels have increased as the proportion of our sales
from sourced products has increased. Since we ship customer orders on average in
17 days, the size of our backlog is not necessarily indicative of our long-term
operations. Our backlog of unshipped orders was $20.6 million at December 31,
2004 and $19.6 million at December 31, 2003.
Raw Materials
The principal materials used in manufacturing our products include
lumber, veneers, plywood, particle board, hardware, glue, finishing materials,
glass products, laminates, fabrics and metals. We use a variety of species of
lumber, including cherry, oak, ash, poplar, pine and maple. Our five largest raw
material suppliers accounted for approximately 21% of our purchases in 2004. We
believe that our sources of supply for these materials are adequate and that we
are not dependent on any one supplier.
Competition
We ranked 19th among the largest furniture manufacturers in North America
based on 2003 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 we compete
include a large number of relatively small manufacturers; however, certain
competitors have substantially greater sales volumes and financial resources
compared to us. Competitive factors in the upper-medium price range include
style, price, quality, delivery, design, service and durability. We believe that
our manufacturing processes, our sourcing strategy, long-standing customer
relationships and customer responsiveness, consistent support of existing
diverse product lines that are high quality and good value, and our experienced
management are competitive advantages.
Associates
At December 31, 2004, we employed approximately 2,600 associates. None of
our associates are represented by a labor union. We consider our relationship
with our associates to be good.
Trademarks
Our trade names represent many years of continued business, and we
believe these names are well recognized and associated with excellent quality
and styling in the furniture industry. We own a number of trademarks, none of
which are considered to be material.
Governmental Regulations
We are 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 our
earnings, capital expenditures, or competitive position. However, the effect of
such compliance in the future cannot be predicted. We believe that we are in
material compliance with applicable federal, state and local safety, health and
environmental regulations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report 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 our 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, our success in executing a
blended strategy of combining 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 we obtain offshore sourcing, international
trade policies of the United States and countries from which we obtain sourcing,
the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, fluctuations in the price for
lumber which is the most significant raw material we use, fluctuations in
foreign freight cost, credit exposure to customers, capital costs and general
economic conditions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of
this filing, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.

Item 2. Properties
Set forth below is certain information with respect to our principal
properties. We believe 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 we believe are adequate. All facilities
set forth below are active and operational. Production capacity and extent of
utilization of our 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, we
estimate that our facilities operated at approximately 75% to 80% of capacity in
2004, principally on a one shift basis. We believe available capacity at our
facilities together with the integration of selected imported component parts
and finished items will be adequate to expand production to meet anticipated
product requirements.

Item 7. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
Overview
Over the past few years the residential wood furniture industry has
experienced a surge in low cost imported products, primarily from China. Imports
have grown dramatically in the past few years and according to industry sources
it is estimated that imports now account for over half of all residential wood
furniture sold in the United States.
In response to this trend we developed a blended strategy of combining
our domestic manufacturing capabilities with an offshore sourcing program and
realigned our manufacturing capacity. We incorporate selected imported component
parts and finished items in our product line to lower costs, provide design
flexibility, and offer a better value to our customers. Sourced products
increased to approximately 28% of our sales in 2004 compared to 20% in 2003. We
anticipate this percentage to remain about the same in 2005.
The increase in offshore sourcing created excess capacity in our
manufacturing facilities which caused us to reduce and realign manufacturing
capacity. We closed a manufacturing facility in 2002 (our former West End, North
Carolina factory) and reduced operations at another manufacturing facility in
2003. We have realigned production so that each of our current manufacturing
facilities is focused on specific product lines of compatible products to
improve quality and lower production costs.
These actions reduced our manufacturing capacity by approximately 15% to
20%. We operated at approximately 75% to 80% of this reduced capacity in 2004
compared to 70% to 75% in 2003, resulting in improved operating margins in 2004.
We are maintaining our manufacturing capacity at this level to provide
protective capacity for improved demand.
We will continue to evaluate our manufacturing capacity needs considering
offshore sourcing opportunities, current and anticipated demand for our
products, overall market conditions and other factors we consider relevant.
Should further capacity reductions become necessary, this could cause asset
impairment or other restructuring charges in the future.

2004 Compared to 2003
Net sales increased $40.6 million, or 15.3%, in 2004 compared to 2003. The
increase was due primarily to higher unit volume and to a lesser extent higher
average selling prices. While industry sales trends improved in 2004, we believe
most of our growth came from market share gains.
Gross profit margin for 2004 increased to 24.7% from 23.3% in 2003. Higher gross
profit margin in 2004 was primarily due to higher production levels at our
domestic facilities and savings from sourcing initiatives. Inflation in raw
materials, wages, employee benefits, energy costs and tariffs imposed on wooden
bedroom furniture imported from China were offset with modest price increases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
13.4% for both 2004 and 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenditures
increased in 2004 by $5.3 million. This increase resulted from higher selling
expenses directly attributable to the increase in sales (including additional
warehouse expense), increased bonus expense due to higher earnings and cost
incurred to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These increases were
partially offset by a $334,000 net reversal of bad debt expense in 2004 due to a
reduction in accounts receivable from certain customers experiencing financial
difficulties compared to a net reversal of $20,000 in 2003.
As a result of the above, operating income as a percentage of net sales was
11.3% for 2004, compared to 9.9% for 2003.
Interest expense for 2004 decreased primarily due to lower average debt levels.
The effective tax rate for 2004 is 36.1% which is comparable to the 2003
effective tax rate. As a result of the new "American Jobs Creation Act of 2004"
which allows for a deduction based on qualified domestic production activities,
we expect a modest decline in our effective tax rate as this deduction is phased
in over the next six years. Consequently, the 2005 effective tax rate is
expected to range from 35.5% to 36.0%.
2003 compared to 2002
Net sales increased $21.7 million, or 8.9%, in 2003 compared to 2002. The
increase was due primarily to higher unit volume. We believe this higher unit
volume was due to gains in market share resulting from our blended operating
strategy that allowed us to offer improved product styling and value to our
customers. While industry sales trends improved in the second half of 2003, the
industry reported a sales decrease in 2003.
Gross profit margin for 2003 increased to 23.3% from 22.6% in 2002. Lower
gross profit margin in 2002 was due primarily to restructuring and related
charges resulting from closing a factory to reduce our manufacturing capacity.
The gross profit margin for 2003 increased due to savings from sourcing
initiatives and the realignment of manufacturing capacity. These savings were
mostly offset by transition and start up costs from increased offshore sourcing,
lower production levels at our manufacturing facilities and other inflationary
costs including wages and employee benefits.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
was 13.4% for both 2003 and 2002. Selling, general and administrative
expenditures increased $3.0 million in 2003 due primarily to higher sales,
expansion of our offshore sourcing program and increased marketing and product
development costs. These increases were partially offset by a $780,000 decrease
in bad debt expense. We recognized $760,000 of bad debt expense in 2002 compared
to a net reversal of $20,000 in 2003 due to a decrease in accounts receivable
from certain customers experiencing financial difficulties.
As a result of the above, operating income for 2003 increased to $26.2
million, or 9.9% as a percentage of net sales, from $22.4 million, or 9.2% as a
percentage of net sales, in 2002.
Interest expense for 2003 decreased due primarily to lower average debt
levels.
Our effective income tax rate for 2003 increased to 36.0% from 35.5% in
2002, due primarily to higher state income taxes resulting from the phase-out of
certain state tax credits.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash from operations and
amounts available under a $25.0 million credit facility. These sources have been
adequate for day-to-day expenditures, debt payments, purchases of our stock,
capital expenditures and payment of cash dividends to stockholders. We expect
these sources of liquidity to continue to be adequate for the future.
Working capital has increased to support increased sales and due to
higher finished goods inventory levels as the proportion of our sales from
sourced products has increased. To support our delivery performance, we maintain
a higher inventory level of sourced products compared to those we manufacture.
We expect future changes in working capital to be more closely aligned with
changes in sales.
At December 31, 2004, approximately $10.2 million remains authorized by
our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock. Consequently,
we may, from time to time, either directly or through agents, repurchase our
common stock in the open market, through negotiated purchases or otherwise, at
prices and on terms satisfactory to us. Depending on market prices and other
relevant conditions, such purchases may be discontinued at any time. The Board
of Directors initiated an annual dividend policy of $.20 per share in January
2003 and doubled the dividend to $.40 per share in January 2004 and increased it
another 20% to $.48 per share in February 2005. The aggregate payments for 2005
are expected to be approximately $3.1 million.
Cash generated from operations was $10.5 million in 2004 compared to
$14.3 million in 2003 and $16.1 million in 2002. The decrease in 2004 compared
to 2003 was due to higher payments to suppliers and employees, partially offset
by higher receipts from customers. Payments to suppliers and employees increased
$42.2 million, primarily to fund increased purchases of sourced products, higher
production and higher selling and administrative expenses. Cash received from
customers increased $37.2 million as a result of higher sales. The decrease in
cash generated from operations for 2003 compared to 2002 was due primarily to
higher tax payments which was a result of timing of estimated tax payments and
higher income.
Net cash used by investing activities was $1.9 million in 2004 compared
to $1.3 million and $342,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. Capital
expenditures in 2004 consisted of normal capital expenditures and software
purchases. The expenditures for all three years were primarily for plant and
equipment and other assets in the normal course of business. In 2002, we
received net proceeds of $695,000 from the sale of real estate at our former
West End, North Carolina facility. The decline in capital expenditures for the
past 3 years is due to the relocation of a significant portion of the machinery
and equipment from our former West End, North Carolina facility to other Company
facilities and used in lieu of normal replacements. In 2005, we expect to see
the return to more historic levels of capital spending. Consequently, capital
expenditures for 2005 are anticipated to range from $4 million to $6 million.
Our sales growth, along with an increase in the proportion of sourced goods, has
created a need for additional warehouse space. We are currently renting space to
accommodate our needs. To partially address the need for additional warehouse
space, approximately $700,000 of the 2005 capital expenditures will be used to
expand warehouse space and improve the manufacturing flow at one of our
facilities. However, since this will not completely alleviate the need for
rented warehouse space, we continue to evaluate long-term solutions which could
result in additional capital expenditures in 2005.
Net cash used by financing activities was $3.5 million, $19.7 million and
$8.5 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In 2004 cash from operations
and proceeds from exercise of stock options provided funds for senior debt
payments and cash dividends. In 2003 and 2002, cash from operations and proceeds
from the exercise of stock options provided cash for purchase and retirement of
our common stock and senior debt payments. In 2003, these funds were also used
to pay cash dividends.
At December 31, 2004, long-term debt including current maturities was
$15.6 million. Debt service requirements are $4.3 million in 2005, $2.9 million
both in 2006 and 2007 and $1.4 million in both 2008 and 2009. As of December 31,
2004, approximately $25 million of additional borrowings were available under a
revolving credit facility and cash on hand was $7.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have chosen accounting policies that are necessary to accurately and
fairly report our operational and financial position. Below are the critical
accounting policies that involve the most significant judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for doubtful accounts - We maintain an allowance for doubtful
receivables for estimated losses resulting from the inability of trade customers
to make required payments. We provide an allowance for specific
customer accounts where collection is doubtful and also provide an 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 and the related receivable balances
change, the level of such allowances will be reevaluated. During 2004, the
credit exposure related to certain customer accounts experiencing financial
difficulties declined resulting in a decrease in the allowance for doubtful
receivables.
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. We evaluate our inventory to determine excess or slow moving items based
on current order activity and projections of future demand. For those items
identified, we estimate our market value or net sales value based on current
trends. Those items having a net sales value less than cost are written down to
their net sales value. This process recognizes projected inventory losses when
they become evident rather than at the time they are sold. These reserves were
increased in 2004 as a result of higher inventory levels.
Long-lived assets - Property, plant and equipment is 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 policy reflects judgments on the
estimated useful lives of assets.
Tax contingencies - Tax contingencies are recorded to address potential
exposures involving tax positions we have taken that could be challenged by
taxing authorities. These potential exposures result from the varying
applications of statutes, rules, regulations and interpretations. Our tax
contingencies contain 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 we have accrued.
Pension costs - Our pension expense is developed from actuarial
valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including discount
rates used to determine the present value of future benefit payments and
expected return on plan assets, which are usually updated on an annual basis at
the beginning of each year. We 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 2004 net pension costs were a discount rate of 6.0% and an
expected return on plan assets of 6.5% compared to 6.5% for both the discount
rate and expected return on plan assets in 2003. In establishing our expected
return on plan assets assumption, we review asset allocation considering plan
maturity and develop 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 $150,000. Net pension cost for 2005 is expected to increase slightly,
primarily as a result of a reduction in the discount rate from 6.0% to 5.5%.
Self-Insurance - We are self-insured for certain claims related to
medical insurance and workers' compensation. We maintain stop loss coverage with
third party insurers to limit our total exposure. The self-insurance liability
represents an estimate of the ultimate cost of claims incurred and unpaid as of
the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is established based upon
analysis of historical data and is reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that
the liability is appropriate. If actual claims differ from our estimates, our
financial results could be impacted.
Tariffs imposed on wooden bedroom furniture imported from China - Tariff
expense is based on the most current rates published by the Department of
Commerce. These rates are potentially subject to an administrative review
process starting approximately one year after the publication date. The final
amounts will depend on whether administrative reviews are performed and the
outcome of those reviews, if any, on the vendors we purchase from.
We do not have transactions or relationships with "special purpose"
entities, and we do not have any off balance sheet financing other than normal
operating leases primarily for showroom, warehousing space and certain
technology equipment.
New Accounting Standards
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs". The new
Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This Statement requires
that those items be recognized as current-period charges and requires that
allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on
the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We do not expect adoption of
this statement to have a material impact on our financial condition or results
of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123 and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25. Statement No. 123(R) will require the fair value of all stock
option awards issued to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related
vesting period. The Statement also requires the recognition of compensation
expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at
the date of adoption. We are evaluating these new rules, but expect no material
impact upon adoption relating to outstanding options since a majority of the
awards under the existing incentive stock option plan will be fully vested prior
to the effective date of the revised rules.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Our obligation under the revolving credit facility bears interest at a
variable rate; therefore, changes in prevailing interest rates impact our
borrowing costs. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates
would not have had a material impact on earnings in 2004.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc:
We have completed an integrated audit of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.'s 2004
consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated
financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits,
are presented below.
Consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and
2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 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 accompanying index
present 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 the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of
financial statements 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.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, in our opinion, management's assessment, included in Management's Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the
Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO), is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on those
criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
issued by the COSO. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on management's assessment and on the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other
procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The accompanying notes are an integral part
of the consolidated financial statements
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. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We are a leading designer and
manufacturer of wood furniture exclusively targeted at the upper-medium price
range of the residential market.
We operate in one business segment. Substantially all revenues result
from the sale of residential furniture products. Substantially all 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
Sales are recognized when products are shipped to customers. Shipping
revenues have historically been netted against related expenses in cost of
sales. We have reclassified these revenues to net sales increasing net sales by
$6.4 million, $4.6 million and $4.1 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, and resulting in no impact on earnings. Costs to warehouse and
prepare goods for shipping to customers are expensed and recorded in selling,
general and administrative expenses and amounted to $5.0 million, $3.4 million
and $2.8 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
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. 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
property, plant and equipment, which could result in impairment charges in
future periods. Depreciation policy reflects judgments on the estimated useful
lives of assets.
Capitalized Software Cost
We amortize purchased computer software costs using the straight-line
method over the economic lives of the related products of five years.
Unamortized cost at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $241,000 and $189,000,
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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash
flow analysis based on the incremental borrowing rates currently available to us
for loans with similar terms and maturities. At December 31, 2004, the fair
value is not materially different than our carrying value. The fair value of
trade receivables, trade payables and letters of credit approximate the carrying
amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.
STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Pension Plans
Our 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 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
We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting for
stock options and disclose 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 and the number of shares awarded was fixed at the grant date.
The estimated per share weighted-average fair value of stock options
granted during 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $15.11, $11.45 and $14.36, respectively,
on the date of grant. A risk-free interest rate of 4.0%, 3.9% and 4.0% for 2004,
2003 and 2002, respectively, a volatility rate of 30% to 50% with an expected
life of 8 to 10 years and a dividend yield of approximately 1%, was assumed in
estimating the fair value.
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):

Goodwill
On January 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 142, ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets". In accordance with
SFAS 142, we discontinued goodwill amortization and tested goodwill of $9.1
million for impairment as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 determining that no
impairment loss was necessary. We will continue to test goodwill for impairment
at least annually.
STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Tariffs imposed on wooden bedroom furniture imported from China
Tariff expense is based on the most current rates published by the
Department of Commerce. These rates are potentially subject to an administrative
review process starting approximately one year after the publication date. The
final amounts will depend on whether administrative reviews are performed and
the outcome of those reviews, if any, on the vendors we purchase from.
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.

At December 31, 2004, no borrowings were outstanding under a revolving
credit facility that provides for maximum borrowings of $25.0 million and
matures in August 2006. Interest is payable monthly at the reserve adjusted
LIBOR plus .50% per annum (2.90% on December 31, 2004) or, at our option, prime
minus 1.0% (4.25% on December 31, 2004). We utilize letters of credit to
collateralize certain insurance policies and inventory purchases. Outstanding
letters of credit at December 31, 2004, were $4.2 million.
The above loan agreements require us to maintain certain financial
covenants. Our ability to pay dividends with respect to our common stock and to
repurchase our common stock is restricted to $25.0 million plus 50% of our
consolidated net earnings, adjusted for net cash proceeds received by us from
the sale of our stock and the amount of payments for redemption, purchase or
other acquisition of our capital stock, subsequent to January 1, 1999. At
December 31, 2004, these covenants limit funds available to pay dividends and
repurchase our common stock to $36.2 million.
Annual principal requirements are $4.3 million in 2005, $2.9 million in
both 2006 and 2007 and $1.4 million in both 2008 and 2009.

5. Stockholders' Equity
For the three years ending December 31, 2004, we have used $17.9 million
of cash to purchase 724,000 shares of our common stock on the open market at an
average price of $24.66. At December 31, 2004, approximately $10.2 million
remains under the current Board of Directors authorization to repurchase shares
of our common stock.
In addition to common stock, authorized capital includes 1,000,000 shares
of "blank check" preferred stock. None was outstanding during the three years
ended December 31, 2004. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue such
stock in series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, rights,
limitations and restrictions with respect to any series of such shares. Such
"blank check" preferred stock may rank prior to common stock as to dividend
rights, liquidation preferences or both, may have full or limited voting rights
and may be convertible into shares of common stock.

We maintain an investment policy for the management of the assets of The
Stanley Retirement Plan. The objective of this policy is to build a structured
portfolio designed to achieve the most desirable balance between investment
return and asset protection by investing in equities of high quality companies
and in high quality fixed income securities which are broadly balanced and
represent all market sectors. The investment structure provides the necessary
liquidity for payment of retirement benefits. The target allocation and the
actual allocation for assets of The Stanley Retirement Plan at December 31, 2004
and December 31, 2003, the measurement date, are as follows:
Target
Allocation Percentage of Assets

At December 31, 2003, the Stanley Retirement Plan assets included Company
stock with a fair value of $1.1 million. No Stanley stock was owned by the plan
at December 31, 2004.
The benefit obligation of the Supplemental Plan, a nonqualified plan,
exceeded the accrued benefit cost at December 31, 2004. The net accrued benefit
cost of the Supplemental Plan includes a minimum pension liability of $244,000
and $105,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
7. Employee Benefits Plans (continued)
Our pension expense is developed from actuarial valuations. Interest
rates used in these valuations are key assumptions, including discount rates
used in determining the present value of future benefit payments and expected
return on plan assets, which are reviewed and updated on an annual basis at the
beginning of each year. We are required to consider current market conditions,
including changes in interest rates, in making assumptions. In establishing our
expected return on assets assumption, we review asset allocation considering
plan maturity and develop return assumptions based on different asset classes
adjusting for plan operating expenses. The return assumptions are established
after reviewing historical returns of broader market indexes, as well as
historical performance of the investments of The Stanley Retirement Plan.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
We provide health care benefits to eligible retired employees between the
ages of 55 and 65 and provide life insurance benefits to eligible retired
employees from age 55 until death. The plan's financial status at December 31,
the measurement date, follows (in thousands):

7. Employee Benefits Plans (continued)
The weighted-average discount rates used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation were 5.5% in 2004, 6.0% in
2003 and 6.5% in 2002.
Assumed health care cost trend rates at December 31:

Year that the rate reaches the rate it is assumed to
remain at........................................................ 2010 2011 2011
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, 2004, by approximately $147,000 and the
annual postretirement benefit cost by approximately $18,000.
Estimated future benefit payments are $290,000 in 2005, $280,000 in 2006,
$270,000 in 2007, $265,000 in 2008, $270,000 in 2009 and a total of $1,330,000
from 2010 through 2014.
Since the postretirement benefits other than pension do not cover any
benefits after age 65, the Medicare Prescription Drug Act will have no impact on
the benefits provided under this plan.
Deferred Compensation
We have a deferred compensation plan, funded with life insurance
policies, which permitted certain management employees to defer portions of
their compensation and earn a fixed rate of return. The accrued liabilities
relating to this plan of $1.7 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2004 and
2003, 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. Policy loan interest of $1.0 million, $911,000 and
$789,000 was charged to interest expense in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
8. Restructuring and Related Charges
Manufacturing operations at our former West End, North Carolina facility
were phased out during 2002, including the sale of real estate. The remaining
restructuring accrual at December 31, 2004 of $178,000 consists of a lease
obligation.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
We lease warehouse space, showroom space and certain technology
equipment. Rental expenses charged to operations were $2.3 million, $1.3 million
and $1.2 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Future minimum lease
payments are approximately as follows: 2005 - $701,000; 2006 - $614,000; 2007 -
$568,000; 2008 - $512,000 and 2009 - $426,000.
In the normal course of business, we are involved in claims and lawsuits,
none of which currently, in management's opinion, will have a material adverse
affect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

10. New Accounting Standards
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 151, "Inventory Costs". The new
Statement amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility
expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. This Statement requires
that those items be recognized as current-period charges and requires that
allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of conversion be based on
the normal capacity of the production facilities. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results
of operations.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 123 and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25. Statement No. 123(R) will require the fair value of all stock
option awards issued to employees of the Company to be recorded as an expense
over the related vesting period. The Statement also requires the recognition of
compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards
outstanding at the date of adoption over the remaining vesting period. We are
evaluating these new rules, but expect no material impact upon adoption relating
to outstanding options since a majority of the awards under the existing
incentive stock option plan will be fully vested prior to the effective date of
the revised rules.
