             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 October 29, 1994 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.



                LA-Z-BOY CHAIR COMPANY 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 I.

Second quarter health care expenses matched expectations while the previous 
two quarters exceeded expectations.

The 46% increase in other income for the quarter was due to favorable Canadian
exchange rate fluctuations, a gain on the sale of stock and increased royalty
income being partially offset by lower pension income.

Income tax expense as a percent of pretax profit was higher than last year for
both the quarter and six months ended due to an unfavorable mix of tax rates
across tax divisions.

In October, a plant in Siloam Springs, Arkansas was sold and will be replaced
by a new, larger plant currently under construction.

The Company's strong financial position is reflected in the debt to capital 
percentage of 17% and a current ratio of 3.8 to 1 at the end of the second
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 second
quarter, the debt to capital percentage was 18% and the current ratio was 3.7 
to 1.  As of October 29, 1994, there was $62 million of unused lines of credit 
available under several credit arrangements.

Approximately 30% 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.



                         PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION                        


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- --------------------------
The Company has been named as defendant in various lawsuits arising in the 
normal course of business.  It is not possible at the present time to estimate 
the ultimate outcome of these actions; however, management believes that the 
resultant liability, if any, will not be material to the Company's 
consolidated financial position.


Item 2.  Changes in Securities
- ------------------------------
None.


Item 3.  Default Upon Senior Securities
- ---------------------------------------
None.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

              LA-Z-BOY'S SECOND QUARTER SALES AND MARGINS IMPROVE    

    
MONROE, MI., November 15, 1994:   La-Z-Boy Chair Company's 1995 fiscal second
quarter that ended October 29, 1994 set a second quarter record with sales up
10%, and net income per share up 18% compared to the prior year's second
quarter.

    
Financial Details
- -----------------
1995 SECOND QUARTER sales grew to $231 million vs. $209 million, an increase
of 10%.  Last year's second quarter sales were up 19% over the preceding year.
Net income for the quarter rose to $12.1 million from $10.4 million last year
for an overall gain of 16%, and a per share gain of 18% or $.67 per share vs.
$.57. 

1995 FIRST HALF sales were $405 million, 9% more than last year's $371
million.  Excluding the effect of a year-earlier tax accounting change, net
income was $16.3 million, up 14% from the prior year's $14.4 million, or $.90
per share vs. $.79.

After an accounting change, which was unrelated to operations but which raised
last year's first half net income 23%, fiscal 1995 first half net income of
$16.3 million compares to $17.7 million, or $.90 per share vs. $.97 last year.


Television Advertising Campaign
- -------------------------------
At the recently completed High Point Home Furnishings Market, La-Z-Boy
unveiled its planned January launch of a new consumer advertising program
designed to reposition La-Z-Boy as America's preeminent resource for living
room and family room furniture.  This new campaign is scheduled to be carried
on prime time television beginning January 30th and is La-Z-Boy's first use
of national television since 1989.


Chairman Comments
- -----------------
La-Z-Boy Chairman and President Charles T. Knabusch said, "Most of our
dealers enjoyed strong business in recent months.  The La-Z-Boy proprietary
store business also remains strong, validating the direction and programs 
we've undertaken.

Mr. Knabusch said, "With the growth La-Z-Boy has experienced in all
categories, particularly major upholstery, it became evident that we needed
to expand our presentation so retailers could be exposed to the depth and
breadth of the La-Z-Boy line.  As a result, we enlarged our High Point
showroom presentation from 29,000 square feet to nearly 60,000 square feet.
The expansion of our showroom, coupled with the new advertising program,
resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response from our dealers.  We 
anticipate that our placements of major upholstery on retail floors will
increase measurably in the coming months."

La-Z-Boy has electronically filed its second quarter FORM 10-Q with the
Securities and Exchange Commission via their EDGAR system.  Among other
