                         STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       Preparation of Interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
(referred to as "Stanley" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of all interim periods reported
herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain
information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been either condensed or omitted pursuant to
SEC rules and regulations. However, management believes that the disclosures
made are adequate for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial
position. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein may not be
indicative of the results expected for the year. It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes included in Stanley's latest Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

2.       Stock Compensation

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
in accounting for its stock options and, accordingly, no compensation cost has
been recognized in the financial statements. Had the Company determined
compensation cost based on the fair value method as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, and as amended by SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an
amendment of SFAS Statement No. 123", the impact on the Company's net earnings
on a pro forma basis is indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations


Results of Operations

We continue to implement a blended strategy of combining domestic manufacturing
capabilities with an expanding offshore sourcing program and realign
manufacturing capacity. Integration of selected imported component parts and
finished items in our product line will lower costs, provide design flexibility
and offer a better value to our customers. Sourced product represented
approximately 26% of sales during the first quarter of 2004 compared to 20% in
2003. We anticipate this percentage to level off at approximately 30% in 2004.

Our manufacturing plants operated at approximately 75% capacity during the first
quarter of 2004. We continue to evaluate our manufacturing capacity needs
considering increased offshore sourcing, current and anticipated demand for our
products, the outcome of the dumping investigation regarding wooden bedroom
furniture produced in China, overall market conditions and other factors we
consider relevant. Further capacity reductions could cause asset impairment or
other restructuring charges in the future.

</TABLE>

Net sales increased $8.9 million, or 14.6%, for the three month period ended
March 27, 2004, from the comparable 2003 period. The increase for the three
month period was primarily due to higher unit volume. While industry sales
trends appear to be improving, we believe most of our growth continues to come
from market share gains.

Gross profit margin for the three month period of 2004 was 24.5% compared to
23.9% for the 2003 period. Higher gross profit margin in 2004 was primarily due
to higher production levels at our domestic facilities and savings from sourcing
initiatives. We are experiencing inflationary pressures in wages, employee
benefits and raw materials, primarily lumber. These trends may negatively impact
gross profit margins in the future if we are not able to raise prices or achieve
additional cost savings.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 13.4% from 13.9% for the comparable 2003
period. This percentage declined primarily due to higher net sales. Selling,
general and administrative expenditures increased $904,000 primarily as a result
of higher selling expenses directly attributable to the increase in sales,
including additional warehouse expense.

As a result of the above, operating income as a percentage of net sales was
11.1% for the three month period, compared to 10.0%, for the comparable 2003
period.

Interest expense for the three month period of 2004 decreased primarily due to
lower average debt levels.

The effective tax rate for 2004 is expected to be 36.3%, compared 36.0% for the
total year 2003. The higher tax rate in 2004 is due to higher state income
taxes.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our 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 due to higher overall 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 finished goods
inventories to increase during the second quarter due to normal seasonal trends.

Capital expenditures for 2004 are anticipated to be approximately $2.0 million
to $3.0 million for normal replacements and improvements. As both our sales and
the proportion of sourced goods increase we anticipate the need for additional
warehouse space. Near-term we anticipate leasing space to accommodate our needs.
However, should we decide to invest in our own facilities this could increase
our anticipated capital expenditures.

Cash generated from operations was $7.5 million in the first three months of
2004 compared to $6.6 million in the 2003 period. The increase in cash received
from customers and cash paid to suppliers and employees was primarily due to
higher sales. Lower tax payments resulted from an overpayment in 2003. Higher
sales also resulted in an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts payable and
accrued salaries, wages and benefits increased primarily due to the timing of
payments.

Net cash used by investing activities was $132,000 in the 2004 period compared
to $37,000 in 2003 and consisted of normal capital expenditures and software
purchases.

Net cash used by financing activities was $4.6 million in the 2004 period
compared to $5.2 million in the 2003 period. In the 2004 period, cash from
operations provided funds for senior debt payments and cash dividends.
Approximately $10.2 million remains authorized by our Board of Directors to
repurchase shares of our common stock. In the 2003 period, cash from operations
provided cash for senior debt payments, purchase of our common stock and cash
dividends.

At March 27, 2004, long-term debt including current maturities was $18.4
million. Debt service requirements are $2.7 million remaining in 2004, $4.3
million in 2005, $2.9 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2007. As of March 27,
2004, approximately $25 million of additional borrowings were available under
the revolving credit facility and cash on hand was $5.4 million. The Company
believes that its financial resources are adequate to support its capital needs
and debt service requirements.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Because the Company's obligation under its revolving credit facility bears
interest at a variable rate, the Company is sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates
would not have a material impact on earnings during the first three months of
2004.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)  Evaluation of disclosure  controls and procedures.  The Company's principal
     executive  officer and principal  financial officer have concluded that the
     Company's  disclosure  controls and  procedures (as defined in Exchange Act
     Rule 13a-14(c)),  based on their evaluation of such controls and procedures
     conducted as of the end of the period covered by this report, are effective
     to ensure that  information  required to be disclosed by the Company in the
     reports it files under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
     recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the time  periods
     specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
     and that such  information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
     management,   including  its  principal  executive  officer  and  principal
     financial  officer,  as  appropriate  to allow timely  decisions  regarding
     required disclosure.

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