Stanley Furniture Company, Inc.
PART I
Item 1. Business
General
The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of residential wood
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 wood 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 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.
Products and Styles
The Company's product lines cover all major design categories, and include
collections (dining room, bedroom, tables and entertainment units), youth
bedroom (Young AmericaTM) and home office furniture. 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 wood
furniture resource in the upper-medium price range. The Company intends to
continue developing its product styles with particular emphasis on home office
and youth bedroom. 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.
The Company provides 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
Collections:
Dining room..................................................... 18
Bedroom......................................................... 22
Tables.......................................................... 15
Entertainment units............................................. 9
Youth bedroom (Young America(TM)).................................. 15
Home office........................................................ 7
These product lines cover all major design categories including European
traditional, contemporary/transitional, American traditional, and country/casual
designs.
The Company designs and develops new product styles each year to replace
discontinued items or styles and, if desired, to 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 introduces
its new product styles at the fall and spring international furniture markets.
Distribution
The Company has developed a broad domestic and international customer base
and sells its furniture through approximately 70 independent sales
representatives to independent furniture retailers, department stores and
regional chain stores. Representative customers include Homelife, Rooms To Go,
J.C. Penney, Furnitureland South, Baer's, Breuners Home Furnishings, Robb &
Stucky, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Jordan's and Wickes. The Company believes this
broad network reduces its exposure to regional recessions, and allows it to
capitalize on emerging channels of distribution. The Company offers 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, an eight-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 approximately 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.
The Company has sold to approximately 3,500 customers during 1999, and
approximately 6% of the Company's sales in 1999 were to international customers.
No single customer accounted for more than ten percent of the Company's sales in
1999. 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 3.6 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. As a result, the Company
shipped customer orders within 25 days on average during 1999 with average
finished goods inventory turns of 8.1. Since the Company ships customer orders
on average in about 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 $42.4 million at December 31, 1999 and $36.6
million at December 31, 1998.
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 and metals. 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
15% of its purchases in 1999. 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 fourteenth largest furniture manufacturer in North
America based on 1998 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 substantially
greater sales volumes and 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, 1999, the Company employed approximately 3,100 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.
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. 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, delays in planned expansions and general economic
conditions.
Item 2. Properties
Set forth below is certain information with respect to the Company's
principal properties. The Company believes 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 management
believes are adequate. All facilities set forth below are active and
operational. The Company believes its manufacturing facilities are being
efficiently utilized and each facility is focused on specific product lines to
optimize efficiency. The Company estimates that its facilities are presently
operating near capacity, principally on a one-shift basis. The Martinsville, VA
facility is expected to begin production in early 2000 and is anticipated to add
approximately $50-$60 million in additional sales capacity when in full
production in two to three years.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On July 9, 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency served
the Company with an administrative complaint citing the alleged failure of a
July 1998 compliance test of one boiler at the Stanleytown, Virginia facility
and seeking a civil fine in the amount of $175,000. The Company intends to
vigorously contest the complaint and in August 1999 filed its answer seeking an
elimination of the civil fine. The Company believes that the cost related to the
complaint will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
condition or results of operations.

</TABLE>
1999 Compared to 1998
Net sales increased $17.3 million, or 7.0%, for 1999 compared to 1998. The
Company ceased its upholstery operations in the second half of 1998. Excluding
upholstered product sales in 1998, wood furniture sales increased 9.1% for 1999.
The increase was due to higher unit volume and to a lesser extent higher average
selling prices. Capacity constraints limited shipments during 1999.
Gross profit margin for 1999 increased to 25.7% from 24.4% for 1998. The
increase resulted primarily from improved operating efficiencies and the
favorable impact in 1999 from the phase out of upholstered products in the prior
year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 12.7% and 13.1% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The lower percentage in
1999 was due principally to higher net sales. Expenditures in 1999 were higher
due principally to selling expenses directly attributable to increased sales.
However, the majority of the increase was offset by the elimination of
expenditures related to upholstered products.
As a result of the above, operating income increased to $34.3 million, or
13.0% of net sales, from $27.9 million, or 11.3% of net sales, in 1998.
Interest expense for 1999 decreased due to lower average debt levels.
The Company's effective income tax rate declined to 36.9% for 1999 from
38.0% in 1998, due to state income tax credits related to expansion projects.
1998 Compared to 1997
Net sales increased $35.5 million, or 16.7%, for 1998 compared to 1997.
The increase was due primarily to higher unit volume.
Gross profit margin for 1998 decreased to 24.4% from 24.7% for 1997. The
decrease resulted primarily from higher raw material costs, principally lumber,
partially offset by improved operating efficiencies.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
were 13.1% and 14.1% for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The lower percentage in
1998 was due principally to higher net sales. The majority of the increased
expenditures in 1998 were selling expenses directly attributable to the sales
increase.
During the second half of 1998, the Company ceased its upholstery
operations. Upholstered products accounted for less than 3.0% of net sales and
resulted in a pretax operating loss of approximately $1 million in both 1998 and
1997.
As a result of the above, operating income increased to $27.9 million, or
11.3% of net sales, from $22.5 million, or 10.6% of net sales, in 1997.
Interest expense for 1998 increased due to higher average debt levels
resulting from the Company's repurchases of its common stock in 1997 and 1998.
The Company's effective income tax rate was 38% for both 1998 and 1997.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated cash from operations of $27.8 million in 1999
compared to $25.0 million in 1998 and $8.3 million in 1997. The increase in 1999
compared to 1998 was due primarily to increased sales. The increase in 1998
compared to 1997 was due primarily to increased sales and to a lesser extent,
lower tax payments. The Company used the cash generated from operations in 1999,
1998 and 1997 to fund capital expenditures, reduce borrowings and repurchase its
common stock.
Net cash used by investing activities was $23.0 million in 1999 compared
to $6.5 million and $4.2 million in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The 1999
increase was due principally to increased capital expenditures related to
capacity expansion projects. Capital expenditures for 1999 aggregated $25.6
million, reflecting $22.9 million of cash expenditures and $2.7 million in
accounts payable. Approximately $10 million was used to expand production
capability at existing facilities to add $30-$35 million of increased sales
capacity on an annualized basis for the Company's bedroom and Young America(TM)
youth bedroom products. This new capacity enabled the Company to increase sales
13% in the fourth quarter of 1999 compared to the prior year quarter.
Approximately $15 million was used to purchase and equip a facility dedicated to
the production of home office furniture. This facility is expected to begin
operation in the first quarter of 2000 and should provide $50-$60 million of
sales capacity on an annualized basis when in full production in two to three
years. The remaining expenditures in 1999 and the expenditures in 1998 and 1997
were primarily for plant and equipment and other assets in the normal course of
business. Capital expenditures in 2000 are anticipated to be approximately $6-$7
million.
Net cash used by financing activities was $7.9 million, $12.5 million and
$11.5 million in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In 1999, the purchase of
common stock and the reduction in borrowings were financed from operations, cash
on hand and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options. In 1998, the
purchase of common stock and the reduction in borrowings were financed by cash
generated from operations and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
In 1997, the purchase of common stock was financed by the private placement of
debt, the revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations.
During 1999, the Company's Board of Directors increased the authorization
to repurchase shares of its common stock to $20 million. Consequently, the
Company may, from time to time, either directly or through agents, repurchase
its common stock in the open market, through negotiated purchases or otherwise,
at prices and on terms satisfactory to the Company. Since October 1998, the
Company has utilized $10.3 million to purchase a total of 541,750 shares of its
common stock at an average price of $18.94 per share, including the purchase of
226,750 shares at an average price of $20.76 per share in 1999. Depending on
market prices and other conditions relevant to the Company, such purchases may
be discontinued at any time.
At December 31, 1999, long-term debt, including current maturities, was
$38.4 million. Approximately $24.0 million of additional borrowing capacity was
available under a revolving credit facility. Also, the Company had cash on hand
of $3.6 million. Annual debt service requirements are $5.2 million in 2000, $6.7
million in 2001, $6.8 million in 2002, $6.9 million in 2003, and $7.0 million in
2004. The Company believes that its financial resources are adequate to support
its capital needs and debt service requirements.
Year 2000
The conversion from calendar year 1999 to calendar year 2000 occurred
without any disruption to the Company's critical business systems. Since 1996,
the Company has been upgrading its information systems with Year 2000 (Y2K)
compliant software and hardware. These actions have minimized Y2K related
capital costs and expenses, which is estimated at less than $1.0 million. The
Company will continue to monitor Y2K related exposures both internally and with
its suppliers, customers and other business partners. Such monitoring will be
ongoing and encompassed in normal operations and associated costs are not
expected to be significant.

range of the residential market.
The Company operates in one business segment. Substantially all revenues
result from the sale of residential furniture products. Substantially all of the
Company's 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
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product.
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, 1999 and 1998 was $815,000
and $831,000, respectively.
Goodwill and Long-lived Assets
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The
Company continually evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets,
including goodwill, on the basis of whether the carrying value 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
income tax expense in the year in which the credits are generated.
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. At
December 31, 1999, 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.

The Company has a revolving credit facility which provides for borrowings
of up to $25.0 million through August 2000, automatically renewable thereafter
for one year periods unless terminated by either party. Interest under the
facility is payable monthly at prime (8.5% on December 31, 1999) or, at the
Company's option, the reserve adjusted LIBOR plus .75% per annum (6.75% on
December 31, 1999). The Company utilizes letters of credit to collateralize
certain insurance policies and inventory purchases. Outstanding letters of
credit at December 31, 1999 were $1.0 million. At December 31, 1999, $24.0
million of additional borrowings were available under the revolving credit
facility.
The above loan agreements require the Company to maintain certain
financial covenants. The Company's ability to pay dividends with respect to the
common stock is restricted to $25.0 million plus 50% of the Company's
consolidated net earnings, adjusted for net cash proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of its stock and the amount of payments for redemption,
purchase or other acquisition of its capital stock, subsequent to January 1,
1999. At December 31, 1999, these covenants limit additional borrowings to $59
million and limit funds available to pay dividends and repurchase the Company's
common stock to $31 million.
Annual debt service requirements are $5.2 million in 2000, $6.7 million in
2001, $6.8 million in 2002, $6.9 million in 2003 and $7.0 million in 2004.

7. Employee Benefit Plans (continued)
The weighted-average discount rates used in determining the actuarial
present value of the projected benefit obligation were 8.00%, 6.65% and 7.00%
for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The rate of increase in future health
care benefit cost used in determining the obligation for 1999 was 8% gradually
decreasing to 5.5% beginning in 2004, and for 1998 and 1997 was 9% gradually
decreasing to 5.5% beginning in 2004.
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, 1999, by approximately $75,000 and the annual
postretirement benefit cost by approximately $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, 1999 and 1998, 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. Leases
The Company leases showroom space and certain other equipment. Rental
expenses charged to operations were $1.5 million, $1.2 million, and $1.1 million
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Future minimum lease payments, net of
subleases, are approximately as follows: 2000 - $959,000; 2001 - $859,000;
2002 - $645,000; and 2003 - $503,000.
