LA-Z-BOY CHAIR COMPANY AND OPERATING DIVISIONS 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. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
