Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General
The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of
residential furniture exclusively targeted at the upper-medium
price range. The Company offers diversified product lines across
all major style and product categories within this price range.
Its product depth and extensive style selections make the Company
a complete furniture resource for retailers in its price range and
allow the Company to respond more quickly to shifting consumer
preferences. The Company has established a broad distribution
network in the United States that includes independent furniture
stores, department stores, and national and regional furniture
chains. To produce its products and support its broad distribution
network, the Company has developed efficient and flexible
manufacturing processes that it believes are unique in the
furniture industry. The Company emphasizes continuous improvement
in its manufacturing processes to enable it to continue providing
competitive advantages to its customers, such as quick delivery,
reduced inventory investment, high quality, and value.
Business Strategy and Competitive Advantages
The Company's goal is to offer the best products and value in
the upper-medium price range, and its business strategy is designed
to provide superior quality, responsive customer service, and quick
delivery. The Company believes its business strategy gives it and
its customers competitive advantages. The key elements of the
Company's business strategy include:
Diversified Product Lines. The Company's product lines
cover all major design categories, and include bedroom, dining
room, youth bedroom (Young AmericaTM), living room tables,
entertainment centers, home office (The OfficeTM), and upholstery.
The Company believes that the diversity of its product lines
enables it to anticipate and respond quickly to changing consumer
preferences and provides retailers a complete furniture resource in
the upper-medium price range. The Company has recently expanded
its styles in youth and home office furniture to respond to growing
consumer demand for these products. The Company intends to
continue expanding its product styles with particular emphasis on
upholstery, home office, and entertainment centers. The Company
believes that its products represent good value and that the
quality and style of its furniture compare favorably with more
premium-priced products. To emphasize this comparison the Company
uses the marketing theme, "We Just Look Expensive."
Broad Distribution Network. The Company has developed a
diverse and extensive customer base that provides the Company with
access to a variety of markets and flexibility to adapt to market
changes. The Company believes this broad distribution network
reduces its exposure to regional recessions. The Company sells its
furniture domestically through approximately 60 independent sales
representatives to independent furniture retailers and national and
regional chain stores. Representative customers include Sears,
J.C. Penney, Homestead House, Huffman Koos, Robb & Stucky, Nebraska
Furniture Mart, Furnitureland South, and Haverty's. In addition,
the Company has recently increased its emphasis on international
distribution. Approximately 8% of the Company's sales in 1996 were
to international customers. The Company has sold to over 3,600
customers during the past twelve months, and no single customer
accounted for more than ten percent of sales. The Company intends
to continue to pursue all channels of distribution compatible with
its products and price range with particular emphasis on national
and regional chains and international outlets.
Efficient Manufacturing Operations. The Company's operating
strategy is to continuously improve customer responsiveness,
quality, and operating efficiency. The Company's manufacturing
processes, which support its product and distribution strategy,
focus on quick delivery while minimizing inventory levels and
improving quality by producing smaller, more frequent, and cost-
effective production runs. As a result, the Company shipped
customer orders within 17.5 days on average during 1996 with
average finished goods inventory turns of 6.3. The Company
believes its ability to deliver its products within these time
frames, while maintaining a high level of inventory turnover, is
superior to that of its competitors. In addition, the Company
believes its quality performance consistently outperforms the
industry when measured by returns and allowances as reported by the
American Furniture Manufacturers Association. Consistent with the
Company's philosophy of providing its customers with a competitive
advantage, the Company's quick delivery reduces its customers'
inventory investment and price markdowns, and the high quality of
the Company's products minimizes its customers' redelivery costs.
Products and Styles
The Company's diverse product lines and styles provide
retailers a complete furniture resource for the purchase of upper-
medium priced furniture and enables the Company to respond quickly
to changing consumer preferences.
The Company provides wood products in a variety of woods,
veneers, and finishes. The number of styles by product line
currently marketed by the Company is set forth in the following
table:
Number of Styles
Bedroom....................................... 30
Dining room................................... 28
Youth bedroom (Young America)................ 19
Occasional:
Living room tables......................... 28
Entertainment centers...................... 18
Home office (The Office).................. 8
These product lines cover all major design categories
including European traditional, contemporary/transitional,
eighteenth century, and country/nostalgia designs.
The Company introduced upholstered furniture products in the
fall of 1994, allowing 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. Since initial introduction, the
Company has expanded its upholstered products and currently offers
a variety of frames and approximately 450 fabric selections.
The Company designs and develops 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 strives to introduce its new
product styles at the fall and spring international furniture
markets.
Distribution
The Company has developed a varied and extensive customer base
that provides it with access to a variety of markets and the
flexibility to adapt to market changes. The Company believes this
broad network reduces its exposure to regional recessions. The
Company sells its furniture domestically through approximately 60
independent sales representatives to independent furniture
retailers and national and regional chain stores. In marketing its
products to independent retailers, the Company utilizes a
promotional incentive sales program, the "Stanley Preferred
Retailer." There are more than 500 Stanley Preferred Retailers,
which account for approximately half of the Company's sales. This
program is designed to encourage independent retailers to commit
retail floor space to the Company's products. The Stanley
Preferred Retailer program is designed to be flexible and is
adapted to the merchandising and marketing plans 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 specified sales
volumes. In return the participating retailer receives product
discounts during promotional periods and merchandising materials,
among other incentives.
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 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. The Company utilizes 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.
No single customer accounted for more than ten percent of the
Company's sales in 1996. 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.
Manufacturing
The Company's manufacturing operations complement its product
and distribution strategy by emphasizing continuous improvement in
quality and customer responsiveness while reducing costs. The
Company's manufacturing processes produce smaller, more frequent
and cost effective runs. The Company focuses 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 its relationships with
suppliers by establishing primary supplier relationships. In
addition, a key element of the Company's 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.
The Company operates manufacturing facilities in North
Carolina and Virginia consisting of an aggregate of more 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. 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 $23.6 million and
$21.5 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
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, frames, filling, and cushioning 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 24% of its purchases in 1996.
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 fifteenth largest out of more than 600
furniture manufacturers in North America based on 1995 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. The markets in which the Company competes include a large
number of relatively small manufacturers; however, certain
competitors of the Company have greater sales volumes and greater
financial resources than the Company. Competitive factors in the
upper-medium price range include style, price, quality, delivery,
design, service, and durability. The Company believes that its
manufacturing processes, its long-standing customer relationships
and customer responsiveness, its consistent support of existing
diverse product lines that are high quality and good value, and its
experienced management are competitive advantages.
Associates
At December 31, 1996, the Company employed approximately 2,700
associates. None of the Company's associates is 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 is considered to be material to the Company.
Governmental Regulations
The Company is 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 the Company's earnings,
capital expenditures, or competitive position; however, the effect
of such compliance in the future cannot be predicted. Management
believes that the Company is in material compliance with applicable
federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
Regulations issued in December 1995 under the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 may require the Company to reformulate certain
furniture finishes or institute process changes to reduce emissions
of hazardous volatile organic compounds. The furniture industry
and its suppliers are attempting to develop water-based and other
forms of complaint finishing materials to replace commonly-used
organic-based finishes that are a major source of regulated
emissions. The Company cannot at this time estimate the impact of
these new standards on the Company's operations and future capital
expenditure requirements, or the cost of compliance.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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," "expects," "may," "will," "should,"
or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations
thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy.
See, e.g. "Business Strategy and Competitive Advantages." 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
the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, fluctuations in the
price for lumber which is the most significant raw material used by
the Company, competition in the furniture industry, capital costs
and general economic conditions.

</TABLE>
1996 Compared to 1995
Net sales increased $27.7 million, or 15.9%, for the year
ended December 31, 1996 compared to 1995. The increase was due
principally to higher 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
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 recognized 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 facility and (ii) a
charge for severance resulting from the resignation of a former
officer.
As a result of the above, operating income for 1996 increased
to $18.2 million, or 9.0% of net sales, from $10.2 million, or 5.9%
of net sales, in 1995.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38.5% and 38.0%
for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
1995 Compared to 1994
Net sales decreased $10.2 million, or 5.5%, from 1994 levels
due principally to lower unit volume, partially offset by the
additional volume from upholstered products and higher average
selling prices.
Gross profit margin increased to 21.0% in 1995 from 19.5% in
1994. The higher gross profit margin was due principally 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. 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, as a percentage of
net sales, these expenses increased to 15.2% in 1995 from 14.4% in
1994. The higher percentage was due principally to lower net sales
and increased selling cost associated with new products.
As a result of the above, operating income increased to $10.2
million, or 5.9% of net sales, in 1995 from $9.4 million, or 5.1%
of net sales, in 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.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
During August 1995, the Company amended its $25.0 million
revolving credit facility, extending its maturity date to August
1998. The interest rate under the facility was reduced to prime
(8.25% on December 31, 1996) or, at the Company's option, the
reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum. In June 1995, the
Company issued a $10.0 million 7.57% senior note due 2005 in a
private placement of debt, and the proceeds were used to purchase
two previously leased manufacturing facilities. In February 1994,
the Company completed the private placement of $30.0 million of
7.28% senior notes due 2004. The proceeds from the senior notes
were used to repay an existing term note and a portion of the
revolving credit facility.
At December 31, 1996, long-term debt including current
maturities was $39.4 million, and approximately $22.8 million of
additional borrowing capacity was available under the revolving
credit facility. Annual debt service requirements are $725,000 in
1997, $5.1 million in both 1998 and 1999, $5.2 million in 2000 and
$5.3 million in 2001. The Company believes that its financial
resources are adequate to support its capital needs and debt
service requirements.
Operating Cash Flows
The Company generated cash from operations of $15.3 million in
1996 principally as a result of higher sales and improved margins.
The Company used $7.5 million of the cash generated in 1996
primarily to fund capital expenditures, reduce borrowings and
repurchase 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 in 1995 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 in
1995 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.
Operating cash flows in 1994 include proceeds of $4.6 million
received from insurance in connection with the fire that occurred
in February 1993 at the Company's Stanleytown, Virginia facility.
Cash paid to suppliers in 1994 included costs of $2.7 million
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.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities was $4.0 million in 1996
compared to $14.7 million and $5.2 million in 1995 and 1994,
respectively. In the 1995 period, proceeds from the issuance of
senior notes and additional borrowings from the revolving credit
facility were used to purchase two previously leased plant
facilities for $10.5 million. The 1996 and 1994 expenditures, and
the remaining expenditures for 1995, were primarily for plant and
equipment and other assets in the normal course of business.
Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities was $3.5 million in 1996
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $8.1 million
and $1.2 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. In 1996, the
purchase of common stock and the reduction in borrowings was
financed by cash generated from operations. The 1995 borrowings
provided cash for the purchase of the two previously leased plant
facilities and other capital expenditures. Cash provided by
financing activities in the 1994 period was used to fund capital
expenditures.
Discontinued Operations
Beginning in 1991, the Company's Norman's of Salisbury fabric
division ("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. In 1996, the Company was released from
a lease obligation resulting from the purchase and concurrent
resale of certain facilities at its former Norman's division. This
obligation was accrued as part of the 1994 charge to discontinued
operations. Accordingly, in 1996, the Company recorded an after
tax gain of $246,000, or $.05 per share, as a partial reversal of
this accrual.

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders Of
Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
We have audited the financial statements and financial statement
schedule of Stanley Furniture Company, Inc. listed in the index on
page F-1. 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 in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. 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
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the

includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stanley
Furniture Company, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our
opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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 consist 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. 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, 1996 and 1995 was $720,000 and $473,000, respectively.
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.

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 at December 31, 1996, 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 Per Common Share
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. Outstanding stock options are
treated as common stock equivalents for purposes of computing
primary and fully diluted earnings per share.
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
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

During August 1995, the Company amended its $25.0 million
revolving credit facility, extending its maturity date to August
1998. The interest rate under the facility was reduced to prime
(8.25% on December 31, 1996) or, at the Company's option, the
reserve adjusted LIBOR plus 1.0% per annum. As of December 31,
1996, approximately $22.8 million of additional borrowings were
available under the revolving credit facility.
The above loan agreements require the Company to maintain
certain financial covenants and limit funds available ($8.3 million
at December 31, 1996) to pay dividends and repurchase its common
stock.
Annual debt service requirements are $725,000 in 1997, $5.1
million in both 1998 and 1999, $5.2 million in 2000 and $5.3
million in 2001.
The Company utilizes letters of credit to collateralize
certain insurance policies and inventory purchases. Outstanding
letters of credit at December 31, 1996 were $2.2 million.
4. Unusual Items
During 1995, the Company was released from a lease obligation
at its previously closed Waynesboro, Virginia manufacturing
facility. Accordingly, the Company recognized 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 a
former officer of the Company.

During 1994, the Company 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 on the date of the
agreement) in exchange for a non-recourse 7.6% note receivable. One
tenth of the prinicpal 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 $308,000, $98,000 and
$160,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
In addition to its common stock, the Company's authorized
capital includes 1,000,000 shares of "blank check" preferred stock.
None was outstanding during the three years ended December 31,
1996. 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.
During 1996, a secondary offering of 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock owned by the ML-Lee Acquisition Fund, L.P.
and certain affiliates of the Thomas H. Lee Company was completed.
In connection with the offering, the Company incurred approximately
$325,000 of expenses. The Company also purchased 150,000 shares of
its common stock, which were subject to the over-allotment option
from the secondary offering, for an aggregate consideration of $2.3
million.

7. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plan
The Company maintains a defined contribution plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Discretionary matching and
profit sharing contributions for 1996 totaled $856,000. Prior to
1996, the Company made no contributions.
Pension Plans
Benefits were accrued under the Company's pension plans
through 1995. The Stanley Retirement Plan covers substantially all
employees hired prior to 1995. The Supplemental Plan is unfunded
and covers certain key employees hired prior to 1989. Stanley
Retirement Plan assets are invested in fixed income and equity
securities. Benefits under both plans are based on average
compensation and service through 1995. The financial status of the

deferred taxes.
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.

$ 472 $ 919 $696
</TABLE>
The weighted-average discount rates used in determining the
actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were
7.75%, 7.67% and 9.0% for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
rate of increase in future health care benefit cost used in
determining the obligation for 1996 was 10% gradually decreasing to
5.5% beginning in 2003; for 1995 was 12% gradually decreasing to 6%
beginning in 2002; and, for 1994 was 15% gradually decreasing to 7%
beginning in 2005.
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, 1996 by $94,000
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 accrued liabilities relating to this plan of $1.4
million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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. In 1994, the Company reached a final insurance
settlement and recorded a gain of $2.4 million.
9. Discontinued Operations
Beginning in 1991, the Company's Norman's of Salisbury fabric
division ("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. In 1996, the Company was released from
a lease obligation resulting from the purchase and concurrent
resale of certain facilities at its former Norman's division. This
obligation was accrued as part of the 1994 charge to discontinued
operations. Accordingly, in 1996, the Company recorded an after
tax gain of $246,000, or $.05 per share, as a partial reversal of
this accrual.
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. Rental expenses charged to operations
were $970,000, $1.4 million and $1.9 million in 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively. The Company continues to lease showroom space
and certain other equipment. Future minimum lease payments, net of
subleases, are approximately as follows: 1997 - $762,000; 1998 -
$545,000; 1999 -$409,000; and thereafter - $12,000.
11. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 1996, approximately 35% 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 $241,000 in 1996, and $250,000 in both
1995 and 1994.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO
LOAN AND STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND STOCK PLEDGE AGREEMENT
(as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, this "First
Amendment") is dated as of December 31, 1996 and is between ALBERT L.
PRILLAMAN, (the "Borrower"), and STANLEY FURNITURE COMPANY, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company").
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Company entered into a Loan and
Stock Agreement dated December 2, 1994 (the "Loan Agreement") pursuant to
which the Borrower borrowed $500,000.00 from the Company with a Promissory
Note (the "Original Note"), and
WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Company wish to revise the
repayment terms of the Original Note to accelerate the repayment of
principal,
THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. The Borrower shall execute the Amended Promissory Note
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Amended Note"). All
amounts previously paid or forgiven on the Original Note shall be credited
toward the Amended Note. Effective upon the execution of the Amended Note,
the Original Note shall be null and void.
2. The Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following new Section
2.7
Section 2.7. Deferral of Forgiveness.
(a) For any taxable year, if the Company determines that the
forgiveness of any amounts under Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4 or the payment of
tax under Section 2.6 would result in the Borrower receiving applicable
employee remuneration for which no deduction would be allowed to the Company
under Code Section 162(m), the Company will compute the maximum amount that
may be forgiven, with the associated tax payment provided under Section 2.6,
without the Borrower receiving "applicable employee remuneration" for which
no deduction would be allowed to the Company (the "Maximum Deductible
Amount"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall forgive only an amount of borrowing which, with the associated
tax payment provided under Section 2.6, equals the Maximum Deductible Amount.
Any amount of borrowing that would have been forgiven absent this Section
2.7(a) shall be forgiven on the first day of the next taxable year.
(b) For any taxable year after the application of Section
2.7(a), if the Company determines that the forgiveness of any amounts under
Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.4 or the payment of tax under Section 2.6 would be
result in the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 on
"excess parachute payments", the Company will compute the amount that would
be forgiven or be payable to the Borrower if the total amounts that are
forgiven or are payable to the Borrower by the Company under this Agreement
are considered "parachute payments" for purposes of Code Section 280G were
limited to the maximum amount that may be forgiven or paid to the Borrower
under Code Sections 280G and 4999 without imposition of the excise tax
(the "Capped Amount"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Company shall forgive only an amount of borrowing which, with
the associated tax payment provided under Section 2.6, equals the Capped
Amount. Any amount of borrowing that would have been forgiven absent this
Section 2.7(b) shall be forgiven on the first day of the next taxable year.
3. In all other respects, the Loan Agreement shall continue in full
force and effect.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First
Amendment to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
