             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 1994 Annual Report filed with the 
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial information included 
     herein, other than the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of April 
     30, 1994, 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 28, 1995 has been 
     derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the 
     audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 
     1994.  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 29, 1995.

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

Item 2     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations
    

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.

   
La-Z-Boy Chair Company's 1995 fiscal third quarter that ended 
January 28, 1995 set a third quarter record with sales up
9%.  Net income per share was 9% lower than last year's third
quarter.  
        

   
The third quarter and nine months ended sales both increased 9%.  
Management believes the increases were primarily the result of the 
general economic recovery and were roughly equal to growth 
in the U.S. Furniture industry.  Price increases were generally in 
the 1-3% range and the remainder of the increases were primarily due 
to volume increases.  The decline in the Canadian exchange rate from 
last year in the third quarter and nine months ended reduced the sales 
increase by .3 points.
    

   
Sales do not include any acquired companies, so the third quarter 
and nine months improvements of 9% were all internally generated.  
Excluding exchange rate fluctuations sales increased in each period
at all five operating divisions with particular strength at Hammary.
    

   
In general, incoming sales orders and backlogs as of February
15, 1995 continue to be good.
    

   
For the nine month period ended gross profit as a percent of 
sales (margins) dropped from 26.0% last year to 25.6%.  The
majority of the decrease in nine month margins occurred in the 
third quarter.  Gross profit as a percent of sales (margins) 
dropped from 26.4% in last year's third quarter to 25.2% 
primarily due to cost increases.  The third quarter's
health-care costs were about 25% higher that last year.  Adverse 
selection and provider cost shifting are thought to have caused
the 25% jump.  Fourth quarter health-care costs are expected 
to be roughly equal to last year's quarter on a per week basis.  
(Last year's fourth quarter had high health-care costs).  
Costs of leather, fabric, cartoning and premium (not frame stock) 
woods were measurably up and are not expected to decline.  
Cartoning is expected to further increase in cost in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1995.  Factory wage costs were up but were 
within expectations.  The next wage increase is scheduled to occur 
in the residential division at 3/1/95 and is expected to be moderate.
    
   
To a lesser extent, 1995's third quarter margins were unfavorably impacted 
approximately .1 points by incentives and costs associated with the introduction
of new contract products as well as an unfavorable Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange
rate.  The contract items are not expected to impact the upcoming fourth quarter
as much as the third quarter.  Canadian exchange rate gross margin impacts are 
expected to continue unless the Canadian dollar strengthens.
    
   
The costs and anticipated higher sales associated with La-Z-Boy's new TV
advertising campaign will affect the company's financial results in the fourth
quarter and beyond.  The national campaign is part of a long-term
effort believed to be necessary to further expand the company's marketshare 
by repositioning La-Z-Boy as a complete furniture resource.
    <PAGE>
<PAGE>
       
The third quarter and nine months ended  S, G & A expenses increased 7% and 6% 
respectively from the prior year largely due to the increase in sales.  S, G & 
A expenses have been slightly less than what was expected before the year 
started.  This was primarily in the selling expenses area.  With the new TV 
advertising program, fourth quarter S, G & A expenses are expected to exceed 
both last year and expectation before the year started. 
    

   
The increase in interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended was
primarily due to higher interest rates.
    

   
Other income for the third quarter was down from the prior year primarily due
to Canadian exchange impacts.  This was partially offset by increased interest
income due to increased investments and higher interest rates.  The Canadian
dollar impacts are due to revaluations of trade and other cash-type 
intercompany balances at the end of each quarter and only change or cause P&L
impacts if the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate changes from the end of one 
quarter to the end of the next consecutive quarter.  That is, unfavorable P&L
impacts will not occur in the fourth quarter if the rate stays the same or
strengthens (from Canada's perspective).
    
   
Income taxes as a percent of pretax profit was higher than last year for both   
the quarter and nine months ended primarily due to unfavorable tax situations 
at La-Z-Boy's Canadian operating division.  The higher tax rates may continue
in the fourth quarter.
    
   
The estimated income taxes liability was $2.3 million less at the end of
January, 1995 compared to January, 1994.  The January, 1994 balance was
overstated and corrected in the fourth quarter last year with the offsetting
adjustment to deferred taxes.  Since last year, the company has also settled
several audits and tax disputes which resulted in a significant reduction in
the estimated income taxes liability.
    
   
The deferred income taxes asset was higher at the end of January, 1995
compared to January, 1994 due to the increase in expenses which were deducted
for book purposes but cannot currently be deducted for tax purposes like
accrued bad debts expenses.
    
   
As mentioned above, a major new TV advertising program began 
in February.  This program is intended to increase sales over the
longer term.  Effects on sales in the shorter term (the next few quarters) are 
difficult to predict but sales increases and other related favorable management
actions may not be enough to cover the net additional costs of the TV program.
    

   
Raw materials were up 9% vs. last year.  About half of the increase was in  
fabric and leather; and although it was higher than desired, plans are in place
for a reduction by April, 1995.  Lumber was planned to increase as part of
seasonal purchasing and should be declining soon.
    
   
Finished goods declined 10%, roughly as planned.  On hand balances should be
leveling off although efforts are still underway to reduce balances longer
term.
    
   
The 89% decrease in the balance sheet currency translation adjustment from 
1/22/94 to 1/28/95 was due to the decline in the Canadian exchange rate from
.7627 to .7069 (Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar ratio).  This reduced the
present valuation of investments in the Canadian division.
    

   
The Company's strong financial position is reflected in the debt to capital 
percentage of 16% and a current ratio of 4.0 to 1 at the end of the third
quarter.  At April 30, 1994, the debt to capital percentage was 17% and the 
current ratio was 4.1 to 1.  At the end of the preceding year's third quarter,
the debt to capital percentage was 17% and the current ratio was 3.8 to 1. 
As of January 28, 1995, there was $62 million of unused lines of credit 
available under several credit arrangements.

Approximately 28% of the 2 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.
