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 1997 Annual Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included
herein, other than the consolidated balance sheet as of April 26, 1997, has
been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public
accountants who do not express an opinion thereon. The consolidated
balance sheet as of January 24, 1998 has been prepared on a basis consistent
with but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 26, 1997. 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 25, 1998.


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.(a)

The Company's strong financial position is reflected in the debt to capital
percentage of 13% and a current ratio of 3.3 to 1 at the end of the third
quarter. At April 26, 1997, the debt to capital percentage was 15% 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 16% and the current ratio was
3.4 to 1. As of January 24, 1998, there was $63 million of unused lines of
credit available under several credit arrangements.

Cash flow from the change in receivables was about $15 million less in the
third quarter this year vs. last year. This is primarily due to differences
in the timing and volume of shipments. At the end of January this year there
were substantially more dollars outstanding (not yet due) and the amounts past
due were actually less than the prior year.

Approximately 29% of the 4 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.
