                      (in thousands, except per share data)

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

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

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

Results of Operations

We continue to pursue a blended strategy of combining domestic manufacturing
capabilities with an expanding offshore sourcing program and realignment of
manufacturing capacity. Integration of selected imported component parts and
finished items in our product line has lowered costs, provided design
flexibility and offers a better value to our customers. Sourced product
represented approximately 27% of sales during the nine months of 2004 compared
to 20% in 2003. We anticipate this percentage to level off at approximately 30%
in the fourth quarter of 2004.

On June 18, 2004, the United States Department of Commerce imposed preliminary
duties ranging from 5% to 200% on imports of wooden bedroom furniture from
China. These duties have not had a significant impact on our operating results
or business plans.

Our manufacturing plants operated at approximately 80% capacity during the third
quarter of 2004. We continue to evaluate our manufacturing capacity needs
considering increased offshore sourcing, current and anticipated demand for our
products, overall market conditions and other factors we consider relevant.
Further capacity reductions could cause asset impairment or other restructuring
charges in the future.

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of
certain items included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Net sales increased $11.9 million, or 18.3%, for the three month period ended
September 25, 2004, from the comparable 2003 period. For the nine month period,
net sales increased $30.2 million, or 16.1% from the 2003 nine month period. The
increase for the three and nine month periods were primarily due to higher unit
volume and to a lesser extent higher average selling prices. While industry
sales trends improved in the first nine months of 2004, we believe most of our
growth came from market share gains.

Gross profit margin for both the three and nine month periods of 2004 increased
to 25.2% from 24.0% and 23.9%, respectively, for the comparable 2003 periods.
Higher gross profit margin in 2004 was primarily due to higher production levels
at our domestic facilities and savings from sourcing initiatives. As
anticipated, our gross profit margin decreased from 25.8% in the second quarter
to 25.2% for the third quarter of 2004. This decrease was primarily due to
inflation in raw materials, wages, employee benefits, energy costs and tariffs
imposed on wooden bedroom furniture imported from China. A portion of these cost
increases will be offset with modest price increases in the fourth quarter of
2004. However, we expect our fourth quarter 2004 operating efficiencies and
gross profit margin to be negatively impacted by producing certain products in
our domestic facilities (at a higher cost) to supplement production from our
offshore sourcing program due to higher than anticipated demand. We anticipate
the net effect to result in gross profit and operating margins in the fourth
quarter of 2004 to approximate the third quarter of 2004.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month
periods of 2004 as a percentage of net sales decreased to 13.8% and 13.6%,
respectively, from 14.1% and 13.9% for the comparable 2003 periods. These
percentage declines were primarily due to higher net sales. Selling, general and
administrative expenditures increased in the three and nine month periods of
2004 by $1.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively. These increases resulted
from higher selling expenses directly attributable to the increase in sales
(including additional warehouse expense) and increased bonus expense due to
higher earnings. These increases were partially offset by a $125,000 and
$295,000 reversal of bad debt expense in the three and nine month periods of
2004, respectively, due to a decrease in accounts receivable from certain
customers experiencing financial difficulties compared to an expense of $90,000
and $270,000, respectively, in the three and nine month periods, of 2003.

As a result of the above, operating income as a percentage of net sales was
11.4% and 11.6%, respectively, for the three and nine month periods of 2004,
compared to 9.9% and 10%, respectively, for both comparable 2003 periods.

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

The effective tax rate for 2004 is expected to be approximately 36.1% which is
comparable to the total year 2003 effective tax rate.

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 to support increased sales and 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 finished
goods inventories to remain about the same during the fourth quarter as a result
of these trends.

Capital expenditures for 2004 are anticipated to be approximately $1.5 million
to $2.0 million for normal replacements and improvements. Our sales growth along
with an increase in the proportion of sourced goods has created a need for
additional warehouse space. We are currently leasing space to accommodate our
needs. However, should we decide to invest in our own facilities this could
increase capital expenditure requirements for 2005.

Cash generated from operations was $4.7 million in the first nine months of 2004
compared to $12.5 million in the 2003 period. The decrease was due to higher
payments to suppliers and employees, partially offset by higher payments
received from customers. Payments to suppliers and employees increased $34.6
million, primarily to fund increased purchases of sourced products, higher
production and higher selling and administrative expenses. Cash received from
customers increased $26.6 million as a result of higher sales.

Net cash used by investing activities was $521,000 in the 2004 period compared
to $649,000 in 2003 and consisted of normal capital expenditures and software
purchases.

Net cash used by financing activities was $4.5 million in the 2004 period
compared to $19.6 million in the 2003 period. In the 2004 period, cash from
operations and proceeds from exercise of stock options 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 and available cash provided funds for senior debt
payments, purchase of our common stock and cash dividends.

At September 25, 2004, long-term debt including current maturities was $17.1
million. Debt service requirements are $1.4 million remaining in 2004, $4.3
million in 2005, $2.9 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2007. As of September
25, 2004, approximately $25 million of additional borrowings were available
under the revolving credit facility and cash on hand was $2.2 million.

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, the Company's success in
pursuing its blended strategy of expanded offshore sourcing and domestic
manufacturing, disruptions in offshore sourcing including those arising from
supply or distribution disruptions or changes in political or economic
conditions affecting the countries from which the Company obtains offshore
sourcing, international trade policies of the United States and countries from
which the Company obtains offshore sourcing, changes in the preliminary duties
imposed on wooden bedroom furniture imported from China, the cyclical nature of
the furniture industry, fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most
significant raw material used by the Company, 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 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 material impact on earnings during the first nine 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-15(e)),  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  were no  changes  in the  Company's
     internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the last
     fiscal quarter that have materially  affected,  or are reasonably likely to
     materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
