                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 1.      Preparation of Interim Unaudited Financial Statements

The 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 financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in
Stanley's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.        Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company approved a plan in the fourth quarter of 2001 to close its former
West End, North Carolina facility and consolidate production from this facility
into other Company facilities as a result of excess capacity created by expanded
offshore sourcing. Manufacturing operations were phased out during the first
quarter of 2002 with certain warehousing and other activities completed in the
second quarter of 2002, including the sale of real estate. During the third
quarter of 2002, the Company determined that $209,000 of restructuring related
inventory reserves were no longer required and credited the amount back to
income. As a result of the above, the Company recorded net restructuring and
related charges of $3.5 million for the nine month period ending September 28,
2002. The restructuring accrual at September 28, 2002, consists of a lease
obligation and severance cost.

Net sales increased $1.3 million, or 2.2%, for the three month period ended
September 28, 2002 from the comparable 2001 period. For the nine month period,
net sales decreased $1.8 million, or 1.0%, from the comparable 2001 period. The
increase for the three month period was due primarily to higher unit volume. The
nine month period decrease resulted from lower unit volume and lower average
selling prices. The Company expects fourth quarter 2002 sales to approximate
third quarter 2002 sales, resulting in an increase in the high single digits on
a percentage basis over fourth quarter 2001.

Gross profit margin, excluding restructuring and related charges, for the three
and nine month periods of 2002 increased to 24.4% and 24.3%, respectively, from
23.0% and 23.2% for the comparable 2001 periods. The increase was due to cost
savings resulting from closing the Company's former West End, North Carolina
facility discussed below, lower raw material cost and offshore sourcing
initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month
periods of 2002 as a percentage of net sales was 13.0% and 13.5%, respectively,
compared to 13.1% and 12.8% for the comparable 2001 periods. Selling, general
and administrative expenditures increased in the nine month period of 2002
primarily as a result of higher selling expenses related to new product
introductions.

As a result of the above, operating income before restructuring and unusual
charges, as a percentage of net sales was 11.4% and 10.8%, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods of 2002, compared to 9.9% and 10.4%, respectively,
for each of the comparable 2001 periods.

Interest expense for the three and nine month periods of 2002 decreased due
primarily to lower average debt levels.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 35.5% for the 2002 nine month period
and 34.0% for total year 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate was due
primarily to higher state income taxes.



In December 2001, the Company announced a plan to expand offshore sourcing,
realign manufacturing capacity and significantly lower operating costs.
Integration of selected imported component parts and finished items in its
product line will lower costs, provide design flexibility and offer a better
value to its customers. This initiative created excess capacity in the Company's
manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, the Company closed its West End, North
Carolina factory and consolidated production from this facility into other
Company facilities. Closing the West End facility is expected to reduce costs by
$4 to $5 million annually and has eliminated approximately 13%, or 400, of the
Company's employees. Manufacturing operations at the West End facility were
completely phased out during the first quarter of 2002. In the second quarter of
2002, the Company completed all closing related activities including the sale of
real estate.

As a result of the West End facility closing, the Company recorded total
restructuring and related charges of $6.6 million, compared to a previously
anticipated range of $7 to $9 million. During the third quarter of 2002, the
Company determined that $209,000 of restructuring related inventory reserves
were no longer required and credited the amount back to income. For the nine
month period of 2002, net restructuring and related charges of $3.5 million were
recorded. These charges consisted of asset write-downs (through increased
depreciation), relocation of equipment and inventory, operating inefficiencies
and severance cost. The restructuring accrual at September 28, 2002 of $554,000
consists of a lease obligation for real estate and severance cost.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash generated from operations was $13.6 million in the first nine months of
2002 compared to $10.0 million in the 2001 period. Working capital increased
$3.0 million in the 2002 nine month period compared to an increase of $2.5
million in the comparable 2001 period. Inventories increased $6.0 million from
year end levels due primarily to normal seasonal trends. Lower tax and interest
payments also contributed to the increase in cash generated from operations.
The Company anticipates making a $2.0 million to $3.0 million contribution to
its defined benefit plan in the fourth quarter of 2002.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $91,000 in the 2002 period
compared to cash used by investing activities of $3.9 million in the 2001
period. The Company received net proceeds of $696,000 from the sale of real
estate at its former West End, North Carolina facility. The decline in capital
requirements for 2002 is due to the relocation of a significant portion of the
machinery and equipment from the West End facility to other Company facilities.
As a result, capital expenditures in 2002 are anticipated to be approximately
$1.5 million, down from $4.2 million in 2001.

Net cash used by financing activities was $7.1 million in the 2002 period
compared to $6.0 million in the 2001 period. In the 2002 period, cash from
operations and proceeds from the exercise of stock options provided cash for
senior debt payments, repayment of the revolving credit facility and purchase
and retirement of the Company's common stock. During the third quarter, the
Company purchased 158,500 shares of its stock in the open market at an average
price of $19.34. At September 28, 2002, approximately $4.9 million remains
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase shares of the
Company's common stock. In the second quarter of 2002, 85,914 shares of the
Company's common stock were surrendered by the Chief Executive Officer to the
Company in payment of a $2.6 million outstanding loan and accrued interest,
relating to stock option exercise in 2000. In the 2001 period, cash from
operations and the issuance of $10 million in senior notes provided cash for
reduction of borrowings under the revolving credit facility, senior debt
payments, the purchase and retirement of the Company's common stock and capital
expenditures.





At September 28, 2002, long-term debt including current maturities was $31.0
million. Debt service requirements are $1.4 million remaining in 2002, $6.9
million in 2003, $7.0 million in 2004, $4.3 million in 2005, and $2.9 million in
2006. In August 2002, the revolving credit facility was amended to decrease
available borrowings from $35.0 million to $25.0 million. As of September 28,
2002, approximately $24.2 million of additional borrowings were available under
the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company believes that its financial
resources are adequate to support its capital needs and debt service
requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The SEC recently issued release FR-60 related to "Disclosure of Critical
Accounting Policies".

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

Allowance for doubtful accounts - The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful receivables for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our
trade customers to make required payments. We provide an allowance for specific
customer accounts where collection is doubtful and also provide a general
allowance for other accounts based on historical collection and write-off
experience. Judgment is critical because some customers have experienced
financial difficulties. If their financial condition were to worsen, additional
allowances might be required.

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 their market value or net sales value based on current
trends. An allowance is created for those items having a net sales value less
than cost. This process recognizes projected inventory losses when they become
evident rather than at the time they are sold.

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

Restructuring and related charges - The Company has provided restructuring and
related charges for closure of the West End, North Carolina facility. These
charges require judgment about the net realizable value of assets and other exit
costs to be incurred. If actual amounts differ from the estimates adjustments
will be required in future statements of income. For example, in the second
quarter of 2002 the charge for increased depreciation was reduced by
approximately $195,000 because actual proceeds from the disposal of West End's
assets exceeded the anticipated amount and in the third quarter of 2002 the
Company determined that $209,000 of restructuring related inventory reserves
were no longer required and credited the amount back to income.

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



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 the Company's reasonable judgment with respect to future
events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such
risks and uncertainties include competition in the furniture industry including
competition from lower-cost foreign manufacturers, successful implementation of
expanded offshore sourcing, the cyclical nature of the furniture industry,
fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most significant raw material
used by the Company, credit exposure to customers in the current economic
climate, capital costs and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date of this filing, and the Company undertakes
no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new developments or otherwise.

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 significant impact on earnings during the first nine months of
2002.

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 within 90 days prior to the date
         hereof, 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.
