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 1995 Annual Report filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial information included
herein, other than the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of April
29, 1995, 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 27, 1996 has been
derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained in, the
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 29,
1995. 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 27, 1996.
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 99.
The Company's strong financial position is reflected in the debt to capital
percentage of 18% and a current ratio of 3.6 to 1 at the end of the third
quarter. At April 29, 1995, the debt to capital percentage was 20% and the
current ratio was 3.7 to 1. At the end of the preceding year's third quarter,
the debt to capital percentage was 16% and the current ratio was 4.0 to 1.
As of January 27, 1996, there was $62 million of unused lines of credit
available under several credit arrangements.
Approximately 43% 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.

News Release
SALES AND EARNING IMPROVE FOR LA-Z-BOY
MONROE, MI., February 14,1996: For its 1996 fiscal third quarter and nine
months ended January 27, 1996, La-Z-Boy Chair Company continued to improve its
sales and profits compared to last year. Third quarter sales rose 7% and
earnings increased 8%. For the nine months, sales were up 10% and earnings
were up 7%.
Financial Details
1996 THIRD QUARTER sales were $226 million vs. last year's $211 million, an
increase of 7%. Comparable sales--that is, including England/Corsair's sales
on a pro forma basis in last year's sales, declined 4%. England/Corsair was
acquired at the beginning of fiscal 1996 and is a separate operating division.
Third quarter net income rose 8% to $7.8 million vs. last year's $7.2 million.
Net income per share increased to $0.42 vs. $0.40 last year.
1996 NINE MONTHS sales were $680 million vs. last year's $616 million, an
increase of 10%. Comparable sales (including England/Corsair) were about 2%
less than last year's level. Net income was up 7% to $25.2 million vs. last
year's $23.6 million. Net income per share increased 5% to $1.36 from $1.30 in
last year.
Chairman Comments
La-Z-Boy Chairman and President Charles T. Knabusch said, "Third quarter
and nine month profits improved even though comparable sales decreased.
Operating profit gains by our U.S. Residential Division, which accounts
for about two-thirds of our total business, and higher sales of office
seating and furniture by our Contract Division contributed to this
improvement.
With respect to marketing and other non-financial items, Mr. Knabusch said,
"The third flight of national advertising for La-Z-Boy ran in connection
with the kickoff of the new television season in September and October.
Response to the commercials continues to be strong with well over 270,000
consumer phone calls being generated during calendar year 1995. Those 270,000
consumers not only received a La-Z-Boy decorating guide, but also received the
name of our nearest authorized La-Z-Boy dealer.
"The retail marketplace softened in December and January; however, incoming
sales orders have been rising in recent weeks. The retail environment will
continue to be challenging through our fourth fiscal quarter, but with modest
improvement in consumer outlooks, we should be able to match or slightly exceed
last year's fourth quarter sales on a comparable basis."
More
In general, sales backlogs, as of this press release date, were at a lower
level than at a similar time a year ago. However, the rate of incoming sales
orders in recent weeks has been about the same as the similar period of last
year.
La-Z-Boy's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC (and available on EDGAR) includes a full
income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and additional management
discussion.

2/14/96 La-Z-Boy Chair Company Financial Information Release Page 3 of 3
Overall:
Refer to today's press release for additional information.
Sales:
As indicated in the press release, comparable sales declined 4% in the third
fiscal quarter following a six month period during which comparable sales
approximated those in the prior year. Much of the recent decline occurred in
January, and was most pronounced in the Hammary and Canadian Divisions.
Overall, the incoming order rate is rising again. During the quarter, Contract
Division sales continued to exceed the prior year's level.
Gross profit:
Third quarter gross profit was 24.6% of sales vs. 25.2% of sales last year.
The decline was primarily due to the inclusion of the historically lower
than average gross profit of England/Corsair (E/C) and is expected to
continue through the fourth quarter.
S, G & A:
Third quarter S, G & A was 18.4% of sales vs. 18.8% of sales last year. The
decline was primarily due to the inclusion of the historically lower than
average S, G & A of E/C and is expected to continue through the fourth quarter.
Other Income:
Other income last year was unfavorably affected by Canadian exchange impacts.
Inventories:
At the end of the third quarter, total FIFO inventories were 16% higher largely
because E/C's inventories were not included in 1995 third quarter results. In
addition, leather and fabric inventories were higher than at this time last
year, but are likely to normalize by the end of the fourth quarter. Soft sales
in January contributed to this increase and helped cause finished goods
inventories to exceed last year's level, primarily in divisions that build wood
furniture to stock.
