Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of La-Z-Boy Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries. Additionally, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of certain entities in which we held a controlling interest based on exposure to economic risks and potential rewards (variable interests) for the periods in which we were the primary beneficiary. The April 30, 2011, balance sheet was derived from our audited financial statements. The interim financial information is prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and such principles are applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but does not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed), which are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the respective interim period. The interim results reflected in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations which will occur for the full fiscal year ending April 28, 2012. Fiscal 2012 is a 52 week year as compared to fiscal 2011, which was 53 weeks. The additional week in fiscal 2011 occurred in the fourth quarter.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we deconsolidated our last Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) due to the expiration of the operating agreement that previously caused us to be considered its primary beneficiary. This entity is an independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® dealer operating nine stores. Sales and operating income, net of eliminations, for this VIE were $2.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the quarter ended January 28, 2012, and were $8.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended January 28, 2012. Upon deconsolidation of this VIE, we removed from our consolidated financial statements net liabilities of $2.7 million and increased noncontrolling interest by $1.6 million, resulting in a $1.1 million non-cash operating gain in our consolidated statement of income.
Our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the periods presented have been revised to include the cumulative effect of a reclassification at April 24, 2010, of $16.7 million (and subsequent activity) between capital in excess of par value and retained earnings related to share purchase activity and subsequent reissuances. Our consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended January 22, 2011, was revised to present the cash impact of deconsolidating VIEs as an investing activity to be consistent with the presentation in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |

As of January 28, 2012, we had gross notes receivable of $12.4 million outstanding from 16 customers (including $2.7 million outstanding from our recently deconsolidated VIE) with a corresponding allowance for credit losses of $2.2 million. We have collateral from these customers in the form of inventory or real estate to support the net carrying value of these notes. We do not accrue interest income on these notes receivable, but we record interest income when it is received. Of the $12.4 million in notes receivable as of January 28, 2012, $2.1 million is expected to be repaid in the next twelve months, and was categorized as receivables in our consolidated balance sheet. The remainder of the notes receivable were categorized as other long-term assets, with the allowance for credit losses allocated between receivables and other long-term assets.
The following is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to our notes receivable as of and for the quarter and nine months ended January 28, 2012, and January 22, 2011:

These investments fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan and our executive qualified deferred compensation plan. All unrealized gains or losses in the table below related to available-for-sale investments and were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within our consolidated statement of changes in equity because we did not have any unrealized gains or losses which were considered other-than-temporary during fiscal 2012 or fiscal 2011.

| Debt | Note 5: Debt
On October 19, 2011, we entered into an amended credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders, which reduced our revolving credit facility capacity from $175 million to $150 million and extended its maturity date to October 19, 2016. We may elect interest rates based on LIBOR or the base rate. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and the prime rate. Interest on our loans is set at the applicable rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% for LIBOR loans and up to 0.50% for base rate loans, in each case based on average excess availability. The amended credit agreement reduces the commitment fee that we pay on the unused portion of the revolving credit commitment from 0.375% to 0.25% per annum.
The amended credit agreement is secured primarily by all of our accounts receivable, inventory, and cash deposit and securities accounts. Availability under the agreement fluctuates in accordance with a borrowing base calculation based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The agreement includes affirmative and negative covenants that apply under certain circumstances, including a 1.05 to 1.00 fixed charge coverage ratio requirement that applies when excess availability under the line is less than 12.5% of the revolving credit commitment. At January 28, 2012, we were not subject to the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement, but would have complied with the requirement had we been subject to it. At January 28, 2012, we had borrowings of $20 million outstanding under the agreement.
The amended credit agreement contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal when due, nonpayment of interest after a stated grace period; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain acts of bankruptcy and liquidation; defaults under certain material contracts; certain ERISA-related events; certain material environmental claims; and a change in control (as defined in the agreement). In the event of a default, the lenders may terminate their commitments, declare amounts outstanding, including accrued interest and fees, payable immediately, and enforce any and all of their rights, including exercising remedies with respect to the collateral including foreclosure and other remedies available to secured creditors. |

| Product Warranties | Note 7: Product Warranties
We accrue an estimated liability for product warranties at the time the revenue is recognized. We estimate future warranty claims based on claim experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. Our liability estimates incorporate the cost of repairs including materials consumed, labor and overhead amounts necessary to perform the repair and any costs associated with delivery of the repaired product to the customer. Over 90% of our warranty liability relates to our Upholstery Group as we generally warrant our products against defects for one year on fabric and leather, up to five years for padding and up to a lifetime on certain mechanisms and frames. Considerable judgment is used in making our estimates. Differences between actual and estimated costs are recorded when the differences are known.
A reconciliation of the changes in our product warranty liability for the quarter and nine months ended January 28, 2012, and January 22, 2011, is as follows:
During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we reduced our product warranty liability by $1.1 million. This reduction was the result of the redesign of a mechanism that had historically experienced high claims activity.
As of January 28, 2012, and April 30, 2011, $7.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of our product warranty liability was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet, with the remainder included in other long-term liabilities. The accruals recorded during the periods presented primarily reflect charges related to warranties issued during the respective periods. |

| Variable Interest Entities | Note 10: Variable Interest Entities
Our financial statements include the accounts of certain entities in which we held a controlling interest based on exposure to economic risks and potential rewards (variable interests) for the periods in which we were the primary beneficiary. Accounting guidance requires that a variable interest entity (“VIE”) be consolidated if the company has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we deconsolidated our last VIE for which we were the primary beneficiary due to the expiration of the operating agreement that previously caused us to be considered its primary beneficiary.
The table below shows the assets and liabilities of the single remaining VIE included in our consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 2011:
We have significant interests in three independent La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® dealers for which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our total exposure related to these dealers at January 28, 2012, and April 30, 2011, was $3.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, consisting primarily of past due accounts receivable as well as notes receivable, net of reserves and collateral on inventory and real estate. We have not provided additional financial or other support to these dealers during fiscal 2012 and have no obligations or commitments to provide further support. |

| Income Taxes | Note 12: Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was 15.7%. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was reduced by 19.4 percentage points mainly due to the impact of adjusting the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets of $2.8 million and other discrete items of $0.8 million. Absent these discrete adjustments, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 would have been 35.1%. Our effective tax rate for the nine month period of fiscal 2012 was (102.2)%. The effective tax rate for the nine month period of fiscal 2012 was impacted by the release of a portion of the valuation allowances of $43.4 million relating to our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, and the valuation allowance of $2.8 million mainly relating to our Canadian deferred tax assets, as well as other discrete items of $0.8 million. Absent these discrete adjustments, the effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 would have been 35.5%.
Our effective tax rate was 22.6% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 22.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The effective tax rates were impacted by changes in the valuation allowance for deferred taxes due to temporary timing differences that resulted in a rate reduction of 16.2 percentage points for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2011. Of particular significance was the valuation allowance attributable to the tax benefits associated with the acquisition of our southern California VIE, which resulted in a rate reduction of 21.2 percentage points for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2011.
The valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets was originally established in fiscal year 2009 based on our cumulative U.S. and foreign pretax losses at that time and uncertainty as to when those losses would reverse. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we moved from a three year cumulative loss position to a three year cumulative income position in the U.S. by generating sufficient positive pretax income to recover the preexisting cumulative losses. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we moved from a three year cumulative loss position to a three year cumulative income position in Canada.
Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent on (among other things) generating sufficient future taxable income. Based upon (i) our cumulative pretax income position (ii) our most recent operating results, including pretax income amounts in our first fiscal quarter which exceeded both our operating plan and prior year first quarter results and (iii) our current forecasts, all of which caused us to reconsider certain of our concerns regarding the fiscal 2012 economic environment, we concluded that certain valuation allowances totaling $46.2 million associated with certain U.S. federal, state and foreign deferred tax assets should be reversed because we believed that it had become more likely than not that the value of those deferred tax assets would be realized. In the first quarter, we reduced the valuation allowance by $43.4 million, primarily related to U.S. deferred tax assets, with the remaining $2.8 million occurring in the third quarter, $2.4 million of which related to foreign deferred taxes and $0.4 million of which related to an adjustment of the amount we recorded in the first quarter.
In connection with our analysis of the total amounts of the valuation allowance to be reduced, we conducted an updated analysis of our deferred tax asset position as of April 30, 2011. As a result of this analysis, we determined that our total gross U.S. deferred tax assets at April 30, 2011, should be reduced by $8.0 million, with a corresponding decrease to the related valuation allowance. The adjustments to reduce our gross deferred tax balances were primarily related to unrealized gains on our investments, employee benefit plan arrangements and state income taxes. Changes in our valuation allowance in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 were as follows:
The remaining valuation allowance of $11.4 million primarily related to certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets. The U.S. federal deferred tax assets primarily represent capital losses which expire in 2013, and we believe it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The state deferred taxes are primarily related to certain state net operating losses. Foreign deferred tax assets relate primarily to capital losses. |

| Earnings per Share | Note 13: Earnings per Share
Certain share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends prior to vesting are considered participating securities. We grant restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares; as participating securities, the unvested shares are required to be included in the calculation of our basic earnings per common share, using the two-class method.
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:
We had outstanding options to purchase 0.7 million shares as of January 28, 2012, with a weighted average exercise price of $16.37, and outstanding options to purchase 1.3 million shares as of January 22, 2011, with a weighted average exercise price of $15.32. We excluded the effect of these options from the diluted share calculation since, for each period presented, the weighted average exercise price of the options was higher than the average market price, and including the options’ effect would have been anti-dilutive. |

| Fair Value Measurements | Note 14: Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The various levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
Accounting standards require the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we are required to record assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Non-financial assets such as trade names and long-lived assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized. To date we have not recorded any significant assets or liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis during fiscal 2012.
The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 28, 2012, and April 30, 2011:
We hold available-for-sale marketable securities to fund future obligations of our non-qualified defined benefit retirement plan and trading securities to fund future obligations of our executive qualified deferred compensation plan. The fair value measurements for our securities are based upon quoted prices in active markets, as well as through broker quotes and independent valuation providers, multiplied by the number of shares owned exclusive of any transaction costs.
In order to fix a portion of our floating rate debt, we entered into a three year interest rate swap agreement which expired during the first quarter of fiscal 2012. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Note 15: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity and requires the presentation of net income and comprehensive income in one continuous statement, or in two consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for our fiscal year 2013 and will change the way we present comprehensive income in our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance on fair value measurements. This guidance requires the categorization by level for items that are only required to be disclosed at fair value and information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. In addition, it provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and discounts on fair value measurements. The guidance requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs and will be effective for our fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. We will revise our disclosures at that time as a result of this new accounting guidance. Based upon our current portfolio requiring fair value measurements we do not anticipate that the revisions to our existing disclosures will be significant. |
