                        Report of Independent Accountants

To the Participants and Administrator of
La-Z-Boy Chair Company
Matched Retirement Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of La-Z-Boy Chair Company Matched Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) at December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of Assets Held
for Investment Purposes at End of Year and Reportable Transactions are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

La-Z-Boy Chair Company
Matched Retirement Savings Plan

Notes to Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     Description of the Plan

       The following description of the La-Z-Boy Chair Company Matched
       Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information
       purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more
       complete description of the Plan's provisions.

       General
       La-Z-Boy Incorporated (the Company) sponsors the Plan, which is a defined
       contribution plan covering eligible participants. The Plan is
       administered by a Central Board of Administration (the Board) appointed
       by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company has appointed Key
       Trust Company of Ohio, N.A. (Trustee), as the Plan's trustee. The Plan is
       subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
       of 1974 (ERISA).

       Participation
       Employees who have completed 1,000 hours of service in a six month period
       and have attained age twenty-one are eligible to become participants as
       of January 1 or July 1 following their qualification, with the exception
       of employees of the Company's ineligible subsidiaries.

       Vesting
       Participants are always fully vested in their own deferral accounts and
       become fully vested in the Company's matching contribution accounts after
       five years of service.

       Contributions
       Contributions to the Plan consist of the following:

       a.     compensation deferral contributions authorized by the participant
              in an amount up to fifteen percent of eligible compensation for
              participants who do not participate in the La-Z-Boy Chair Company
              Profit Sharing Plan (Profit Sharing Plan), another Company
              sponsored benefit plan, or up to seven percent for those
              participants who do participate in the Profit Sharing Plan;

       b.     an employer matching contribution equal to fifty percent of each
              participant's compensation deferral contribution, to a maximum of
              two percent of the participant's eligible compensation during the
              plan year;

       c.     eligible Plan participants who do not participate in the Profit
              Sharing Plan, are entitled to an additional contribution equal to
              twenty-five percent of the participant's eligible compensation in
              excess of two percent, but not to exceed three percent or four
              percent (depending on eligibility);







1.     Description of the Plan (continued)

       Contributions (continued)
       d.     during 1998, the Plan was amended to allow employees, who do not
              participate in the Profit Sharing Plan, whose sum of age and years
              of service is greater than seventy-five, to receive an additional
              amount of employer match from the Company;

       e.     any forfeiture restoration amount; and

       f.     amounts that participants have the ability, under certain
              circumstances, to contribute that have been received as
              distributions from pension benefit plans or "rollovers" from
              selected individual retirement arrangements.

       However, total individual participant contributions shall not exceed the
       lesser of:

       a.     fifteen percent of the eligible compensation of the participant
              during the plan year; or

       b.     the aggregate individual participant limitations set forth under
              Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Service Code (IRS Code).

       Included in employer contributions for 1999 and 1998 are participant
       compensation deferrals of $8,241,060 and $7,260,148, respectively. The
       Company's matching contributions for 1999 and 1998 included $2,417,737
       and $1,982,020 in non-cash contributions, respectively.

       The forfeited, nonvested portion of a terminated participant's account
       may be used to reduce the Company's matching contribution. During 1999
       and 1998, $63,011 and $86,185, respectively, of employer matching
       contributions were forfeited by terminated employees before those amounts
       became vested.

       Plan Benefits
       Participants having five years of service under the Plan are entitled to
       the full value of their accounts beginning at normal retirement age
       (sixty-five). Participants with at least ten years of participation are
       eligible for early retirement at age fifty-five. The value of a retiree's
       accounts will normally be paid within sixty days after the end of the
       month in which he or she retires.

       If a participant's total vested account balance is below $3,500, the
       benefit payment will be made in the form of a lump sum cash payment. If
       the total vested account balance exceeds $3,500, the participant may
       elect to receive the portion of their account which is invested in the
       La-Z-Boy Incoprorated Common Stock Fund (Company Stock Fund) in cash or
       in La-Z-Boy Incorporated common stock. The remainder of the account
       balance is paid in the form of a lump sum cash payment.






1.     Description of the Plan (continued)

       Death Benefits
       Upon the death of a participant, the value of his or her account becomes
       fully vested. As soon as administratively feasible after the end of the
       plan year following the death, the value of the participant's account
       will be paid to any beneficiary designated by the participant or as
       stipulated in the Plan.

       Disability Benefits
       Participants who become totally and permanently disabled are eligible for
       disability retirement benefits. The participant shall have the value of
       his or her account fully vested and payable in the same manner as normal
       retirement benefits.

       Hardship or Financial Need
       Upon application by the participant, the Board may direct distribution of
       such participant's funds to alleviate extreme hardship. In no event shall
       the amount exceed eighty percent of the participant's total compensation
       deferral contribution balance. The distribution shall be subject to
       personal income and excise taxes.

       A participant may also apply to borrow an amount not less than $1,000 or
       greater than the lesser $50,000 or fifty percent of the participant's
       vested account balance in the Plan. Interest rates on any loans granted
       are determined by the Board.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Basis of Accounting
       The accounts of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis of
       accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
       the United States.

       Use of Estimates
       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
       assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
       benefits at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes
       in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual
       results could differ from those estimates.

       Expenses of the Plan
       Investment advisory and management fees are paid by the Plan. All other
       Plan expenses and professional fees are paid by the Company.






2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

       Investments
       Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are
       valued based on published quotations on the last business day of the plan
       year. Securities not so traded are valued at the latest available and
       appropriate bid price on that date. Fund investments are valued based on
       the market value of the underlying investments as of the last business
       day of the year. Participant loans receivable are valued at cost which
       approximates fair value.

       Net Appreciation and Depreciation of Investments
       Realized gains and losses are calculated by subtracting the proceeds from
       the sale of assets from the fair value of the assets at the beginning of
       the plan year, or at the time of purchase if acquired during the current
       plan year. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments is
       calculated by taking the fair value of the assets at the end of the plan
       year less the fair value of the assets at the beginning of the plan year,
       or at the time of purchase if acquired during the current plan year.

       Reclassification
       Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform with
       the current year's presentation.

       Allocation of Assets
       A participant's salary deferral contributions are allocated to the
       individual's account each pay period. The Company's matching
       contributions are allocated to each participant's account monthly.
       Changes in the fair market value of assets, investment income and gains
       and losses on the disposition of assets are allocated to participants'
       accounts on a daily basis in proportion to their account balance.


3.     Investment Options

       The Plan provides participants with six investment options as follows:

       Bond Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
       company that invests in U.S. Treasury bonds and securities of various
       U.S. government agencies.

       Balanced Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
       company that invests in corporate stocks and bonds and various U.S.
       government agencies.

       Company Stock Fund - funds are invested in the Company's common stock.







3.     Investment Options (continued)

       Equity Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
       company that invests mainly in common stocks that are expected to reflect
       Standard and Poor's 500 Composite Index performance.

       Growth Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
       company that invests mainly in common stocks that are believed by the
       fund manager to have future returns greater than the Standard and Poor's
       500 Composite Index performance.

       Global Equity Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered
       investment company that invests in common stocks of companies of any size
       throughout the world.

       Fixed Income Fund - funds are invested in shares of a registered
       investment company that invests in money market accounts, short-term
       certificates of deposit, U.S. government bonds and corporate notes.

       Allocations to the funds are made in five percent increments.
       Participants may change the allocation of contributions among the
       investment options and transfer amounts between investment options every
       ninety days. The Company's matching contribution is invested in the
