Report of Independent Auditors
Pension Committee of The Board of Directors
The Stanley Works
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Stanley Account Value Plan as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
(held at end of year) as of December 31, 2001, and reportable transactions for
the year then ended, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Stanley Account Value Plan (the "Plan"), which operates as a leveraged
employee stock ownership plan, is designed to comply with the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and is subject to the applicable provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Plan is a
defined contribution plan for eligible United States salaried and hourly paid
employees of The Stanley Works (the "Company").
Each year, participants may contribute, through pre-tax payroll deductions up to
15% of their compensation, as defined in the Plan Agreement. Such contributions
are matched by the Company in an amount equal to 50% of the participant's
contribution up to a maximum matching contribution of 3 1/2% of the
participant's compensation.
Prior to 1998, participant and Company contributions were invested in the
Stanley Stock Fund. In 1998, the investment options for plan participant
contributions were enhanced to include four investment funds in addition to the
Company's common stock. Participants may invest in one fund, divide the account
value among the funds or choose one of three pre-mixed blended investment
options. Participant and Company contributions, prior to July 1, 1998, invested
in the Stanley Stock Fund are guaranteed, if necessary, by the Retirement Plan
for Salaried Employees of The Stanley Works or by the Pension Plan for Hourly
Paid Employees of The Stanley Works, providing that the investment return on
such stock acquired with employee contributions will not be less than an
investment return based on two-year U.S. Treasury notes. For employee
contributions and related Company match, the following investment funds are
offered:
STANLEY STOCK FUND--Consists of common stock of The Stanley Works. This stock is
traded on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges under the symbol SWK.
MUTUAL FUNDS
PYRAMID EQUITY INDEX FUND--Seeks long-term growth, subject to the short-term
fluctuations characteristic of the stock market. The fund invests in most of
the Standard & Poors 500 (S&P 500), as well as other investments whose value
is based on S&P 500 stocks.
INVESCO RETIREMENT TRUST STABLE VALUE FUND--Seeks liquidity and safety of
principal, while providing a higher return than is typically offered by
money market funds. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of
investment contracts with insurance companies, banks and other financial
institutions.

The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
AMERICAN FUNDS EUROPACIFIC GROWTH FUND--Seeks long-term growth, subject to
the risks involved in investing outside of the United States, such as
currency fluctuations, political instability, differing securities
regulations and periods of liquidity.
FIDELITY SMALL CAP INDEPENDENCE FUND--Seeks long-term growth, subject to the
short-term fluctuations characteristic of the small stock market. The fund
invests in securities of small capitalization companies in various
industries.
CORNERSTONE FUND
In 1998, the Plan was amended to provide an additional non-contributory benefit
for U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees ("Cornerstone Fund"). Under
this benefit arrangement, the Company contributes amounts ranging from 2% to 9%
of employee compensation based on age. Assets of this benefit feature are
invested in Stanley stock, mutual funds and other short-term investments.
Employees are fully vested as to amounts in their savings accounts attributable
to their own contributions and earnings thereon and amounts transferred from the
other qualified plans on their behalf. All participants are vested in 100% of
the value of the Company matching contributions made on their behalf after five
years of service, with no vesting in the matching contributions during the first
through fifth years of service.
Benefits generally are distributed upon termination of employment. Normally, a
lump-sum distribution is made in cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock
(hereinafter referred to as Common Stock, Stanley Stock, or shares), at the
election of the participant, from the Stanley Stock Fund.
During active employment, subject to financial hardship rules, participants may
withdraw, in cash only, all or a portion of vested amounts in their accounts.

The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
LOAN FUND
Participants may borrow from their savings account up to an aggregate amount
equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the value of their vested interest in
such accounts with a minimum loan of $1,000. The $50,000 loan amount limitation
is reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the 12
months preceding the date the loan is made. Each loan is evidenced by a
negotiable promissory note bearing a rate of interest equal to the prime rate as
reported in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month in
which the loan request is processed, which is payable, through payroll
deductions, over a term of not more than five years. Participants are allowed
ten years to repay the loan if the proceeds are used to purchase a principal
residence. Only one loan per participant may be outstanding at any time.
If a loan is outstanding at the time a distribution becomes payable to a
participant (or beneficiary), the distribution is made net of the loan
outstanding, and the distribution shall fully discharge the Plan with respect to
the participant's account value attributable to the outstanding loan balance.
UNALLOCATED STANLEY STOCK FUND
The Plan borrowed $95,000,000 in 1989 from a group of financial institutions and
$180,000,000 in 1991 from the Company (see Notes 3 and 4) to acquire 5,868,088
and 9,696,968 shares, respectively, of Common Stock from the Company's treasury
and previously unissued shares. The shares purchased from the proceeds of the
loans were placed in the Unallocated Stanley Stock Fund (the "Unallocated
Fund"). Under the 1989 loan agreement, the Company guaranteed the loan and is
obligated to make annual contributions sufficient to enable the Plan to repay
the loan plus interest.
The Unallocated Fund makes monthly transfers of shares, in accordance with the
Plan provisions, to the Stanley Stock Fund in return for proceeds equivalent to
the average fair market value of the shares for the month subsequent to the last
transfer. These proceeds, along with dividends received on allocated and
unallocated shares and additional employee and Company contributions, if
necessary, are used to make monthly payments of principal and interest on the
debt. If dividends on the allocated shares are applied to the payment of debt
service, a number of shares having a fair market value at least equal to the
amount of the dividends so applied are allocated to the savings accounts of
participants who would otherwise have received cash dividends. The excess of
unallocated dividends over the amount necessary for principal and interest along
with forfeitures of nonvested employee accounts are used to reduce future
Company matching contributions.
8
The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
The fair market value of shares released from the Unallocated Fund pursuant to
loan repayments made during any year may exceed the total of employee
contributions and Company matching contributions for that year. If that occurs,
all participants who made contributions at any time during that year and who are
employed by the Company on the last day of that year receive, on a pro rata
basis, such excess value as an additional allocation of Stanley Stock for that
year.
Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the
shares allocated to their account. The Trustee is not permitted to vote
participant shares for which instructions have not been given by the
participant. Shares in the Unallocated Fund are voted by the Trustee in the same
proportion as allocated shares.
The Company reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to its
provisions. Upon such termination of the Plan, the interest of each participant
in the trust fund will become vested and be distributed to such participant or
his or her beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Savings Plan terms and the
Internal Revenue Code.
The Plan sponsor has engaged Hewitt Associates, to maintain separate accounts
for each participant. Such accounts are credited with each participant's
contributions, the allocated portion of the Company's matching contributions,
related gains, losses and dividend income, and loan activity.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, benefits payable to terminated vested
participants amounted to $3,360,480 and $1,201,101, respectively.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENTS
The Plan investments consist primarily of shares of Stanley Stock. Stanley Stock
is traded on a national exchange and is valued at the last reported sales price
on the last business day of the plan year. Mutual funds are stated at fair value
which equals the quoted market price on the last business day of the plan year.
Short-term investments consist of short-term bank-administered trust funds which
earn interest daily at rates approximating U.S. Government securities; cost
approximates market value.
The assets of the Plan are held in trust by an independent corporate trustee,
Citibank, N. A. (the "Trustee") pursuant to the terms of a written Trust
Agreement between the Trustee and the Company.

The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that can affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
DIVIDEND INCOME
Dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date.
GAINS OR LOSSES ON SALES OF INVESTMENTS
Gains or losses realized on the sales of investments are determined based on
average cost.
EXPENSES
Administrative expenses not paid by the Company are paid by the Plan.
3. DEBT
Debt consisted of the following at December 31:
2001 2000
-------------------- --------------------
Notes payable in monthly installments to 2009 with interest
at 6.07% $ 22,510,763 $ 27,910,763
Notes payable to the Company in monthly installments to 2028
with interest at 6.09% 165,225,837 166,925,481
-------------------- --------------------
$ 187,736,600 $ 194,836,244
==================== ====================
During 1998, notes payable to financial institutions were refinanced, resulting
in a reduction in the interest rate, extension of the maturity and a prepayment
penalty of $2,831,378, which is being amortized over the remaining term of the
debt. Concurrently, notes payable to the Company were restructured, resulting in
a reduction in the interest rate and extension of the maturity. Additionally,
the Plan borrowed funds from the Company to pay the prepayment penalty.
10
The Stanley Account Value Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. DEBT (CONTINUED)
The scheduled maturities of debt for the next five years are as follows:
2002--$6,900,000; 2003--$7,000,000; 2004--$6,900,000; 2005--$7,150,999; and
2006--$8,400,000.
The notes payable to the Company are secured by shares held in the Unallocated
Stock Fund. The number of shares held as security is reduced as shares are
released to Stanley Stock Fund pursuant to principal and interest payments.
During the year, 256,845 shares were released and at December 31, 2001,
7,120,955 shares are pledged as security.
Payment of the Plan's debt has been guaranteed by the Company. Should the
principal and interest due exceed the dividends paid on shares in the Stanley
Stock and Unallocated Stock Funds, and employee and Company matching
contributions, the Company is responsible for funding such shortfall.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
Fees paid during 2001 and 2000 for management and other services rendered by
parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such
services. The majority of such fees were paid by the Plan. Fees incurred and
paid by the Plan during 2001 and 2000 were $243,499 and $395,017, respectively.
In 1991, the Plan borrowed $180,000,000 from the Company, the proceeds of which
were used to purchase 9,696,968 shares of stock for the Plan. In 1998, the Plan
borrowed $2.8 million from the Company, the proceeds of which were used to pay a
prepayment penalty incurred in connection with debt refinancing. The Plan made
$10,119,808 and $11,921,749 of principal and interest payments related to such
debt in 2001 and 2000, respectively. At December 31, 2001, $165,225,837 was
outstanding on such debt.
5. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan and the trust qualify under
Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and are therefore
not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is
required to operate in accordance with the IRC to maintain its qualification.
The Pension Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events
that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
