LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED AND OPERATING DIVISIONS
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation
The financial information is prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and such principles are applied on a basis
consistent with those reflected in the 1996 Annual Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included
herein, other than the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of April
27, 1996, has been prepared by management without audit by independent
certified public accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The
consolidated condensed balance sheet as of January 25, 1997 has been
derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 27,
1996. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals
consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for
the interim period.

2. Interim Results
The foregoing interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the full fiscal year ending April 26, 1997.

3. Commitments and Contingencies
There has been no significant change from the prior fiscal year end
audited financial statements.


LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED AND OPERATING DIVISIONS
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

Due to the cyclical nature of the Company's business, comparison of
operations between the most recently completed quarter and the immediate
preceding quarter would not be meaningful and could be misleading to the
reader of these financial statements.

For further Management Discussion, see attached Exhibit 99

The Company's strong financial position is reflected in the debt to capital
percentage of 16% and a current ratio of 3.4 to 1 at the end of the third
quarter. At April 27, 1996, the debt to capital percentage was 17% and the
current ratio was 3.5 to 1. At the end of the preceding year's third
quarter, the debt to capital percentage was 18% and the current ratio was
3.6 to 1. As of January 25, 1997, there was $87 million of unused lines of
credit available under several credit arrangements.

Approximately 19% of the 3 million shares of Company stock authorized for
purchase on the open market are still available for purchase by the Company.
The Company plans to be in the market for its shares as changes in its stock
price and other factors present appropriate opportunities.
