Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Basis of Presentation J. C. Penney Company, Inc. is a holding company whose principal operating subsidiary is J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. (JCP). JCP was incorporated in Delaware in 1924, and J. C. Penney Company, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 2002, when the holding company structure was implemented. The holding company has no independent assets or operations, and no direct subsidiaries other than JCP. The holding company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including JCP, are collectively referred to in this quarterly report as we, us, our, ourselves, JCPenney or the Company, unless otherwise indicated. J. C. Penney Company, Inc. is a co-obligor (or guarantor, as appropriate) regarding the payment of principal and interest on JCPs outstanding debt securities. The guarantee of certain of JCPs outstanding debt securities by J. C. Penney Company, Inc. is full and unconditional. These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The accompanying Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited but, in our opinion, include all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2010 (2009 Form 10-K). We follow substantially the same accounting policies to prepare quarterly financial statements as are followed in preparing annual financial statements. A description of such significant accounting policies is included in the 2009 Form 10-K. The January 30, 2010 financial information was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, with related footnotes, included in the 2009 Form 10-K. Because of the seasonal nature of the retail business, operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January31. As used herein, three months ended May 1, 2010 and three months ended May 2, 2009 refer to the 13 week periods ending May1, 2010 and May 2, 2009, respectively. Basis of Consolidation All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation. None of the reclassifications affected our net income in any period. |

Credit Facility | Note 4 Credit Facility On April 8, 2009, J. C. Penney Company, Inc., JCP and J. C. Penney Purchasing Corporation entered into a three-year, $750 million revolving credit agreement (2009 Credit Facility) with a syndicate of lenders with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The facility is secured by our inventory, which security interest can be released upon attainment of certain credit rating levels. The 2009 Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes, including the issuance of letters of credit. Pricing under the 2009 Credit Facility is tiered based on JCPs senior unsecured long-term credit ratings issued by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. and Standard Poors Ratings Services. JCPs obligations under the 2009 Credit Facility are guaranteed by J. C. Penney Company, Inc. The 2009 Credit Facility requires that we maintain certain financial covenants, which include a leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage ratio (each as defined in the 2009 Credit Facility). Under the terms of the 2009 Credit Facility, non-cash charges or credits related to retirement plans are not included in the calculation of EBITDA (consolidated earnings before income taxes less depreciation and amortization), which is used in the leverage ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. The leverage ratio, which is calculated as of the last day of the quarter and measured on a trailing four-quarter basis, cannot exceed 3.5 to 1 from January31, 2010 through October30, 2010 and 3.0 to 1 thereafter. The fixed charge coverage ratio, which is calculated as of the last day of the quarter and measured on a trailing four-quarter basis, cannot be less than 2.25 to 1 through October30, 2010, 2.5 to 1 from October31, 2010 through October29, 2011; and 3.0 to 1 thereafter. The asset coverage ratio, which is calculated as of the last day of each fiscal month, cannot be less than 3.0 to 1. As of May 1, 2010, we were in compliance with these requirements with a leverage ratio of 2.0 to 1, a fixed charge coverage ratio of3.5 to 1 and an asset coverage ratio of 24 to 1. No borrowings, other than the issuance of standby and import letters of credit totaling $133 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2010, have been made under the 2009 Credit Facility. |

Long-Term Debt | Note 5 Long-Term Debt On March 1, 2010 we repaid at maturity the remaining $393 million outstanding principal amount of JCPs 8.0% Notes due 2010. On April 26, 2010, we commenced a tender offer to purchase up to $300 million aggregate principal amount of JCPs outstanding debt securities in the priority and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal. The tender offer expired on May 21, 2010, subsequent to the first quarter. On May 24, 2010, we accepted for purchase $300 million principal amount of JCPs outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due 2036 (Notes), which were validly tendered pursuant to the cash tender offer. We paid approximately $314 million aggregate consideration, including accrued and unpaid interest, for the accepted Notes on May 25, 2010. Also subsequent to the quarter, on May 24, 2010, we closed on our offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.65% Senior Notes due 2020 and used proceeds of the offering, net of underwriting discounts, of approximately $392 million to make a voluntary cash contribution to the J. C. Penney Corporation, Inc. Pension Plan. During the first quarter of 2009, there were no scheduled debt maturities and no issuances of debt. |

See Note 7 for the net unrealized gain of $30 million in REITs recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of net equity. Our REIT assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: ($ in millions) REIT Assets at Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets of Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total May 1, 2010 $ 225 $ - $ - $ 225 May 2, 2009 117 - - 117 1 January 30, 2010 178 - - 178 Other Financial Instruments Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt. The carrying amount of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by obtaining quotes from brokers or is based on current rates offered for similar debt. At May 1, 2010, long-term debt had a carrying value of $3.0 billion and a fair value of $3.2 billion. At January 30, 2010, long-term debt, including current maturities had a carrying value of $3.4 billion and a fair value of $3.3 billion. |

As of May 1, 2010, there were 11.2 million shares of stock available for future grant under the 2009 Plan.

The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of May 1, 2010, as well as activity during the three months then ended: (options in thousands) Stock Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Outstanding at January 30, 2010 13,561 $ 36 Granted 2,689 31 Exercised (213 ) 17 Forfeited or expired (218 ) 33 Outstanding at May 1, 2010 15,819 36 Exercisable at May 1, 2010 8,917 44 As of May 1, 2010, there was $50 million of unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for unvested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately one year. Stock Awards On March 16, 2010, we made a grant of approximately 964,000 restricted stock unit awards to associates, representing the annual grant under the 2009 Plan. These awards consisted of approximately 574,000 time-based restricted stock units and approximately 390,000 performance-based stock units. The time-based restricted stock units vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date provided that the associate remains continuously employed with the Company during that time. The performance-based unit grant is a target award with a payout matrix ranging from 0% to 200% based on 2010 EPS (defined as per common share income from continuing operations, excluding any unusual and/or extraordinary items as determined by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board). A payment of 100% of the target award would be achieved at EPS of $1.58. In addition to the performance requirement, this award also includes a time-based vesting requirement, which is the same as the requirement for the time-based restricted stock unit award. Upon vesting, both the time-based restricted stock units and the performance-based restricted stock units will be paid out in shares of JCPenney common stock. In addition to the annual associate grant, the Company granted approximately 28,000 restricted stock units consisting of ad-hoc awards to associates and dividend equivalents on outstanding awards during the first quarter of 2010.

Total expense for our defined contribution plans for the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 was $14 million and $15 million, respectively, and is predominately included in SGA expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Employer Contributions Our policy with respect to funding the primary plan is to fund at least the minimum required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and not more than the maximum amount deductible for tax purposes. Based on the funded status of our primary plan, we are not required to make a mandatory cash contribution to the primary plan under ERISA rules in 2010 or 2011; however, on May 24, 2010, we used net proceeds of approximately $392 million from the issuance of $400 million of 5.65% Senior Notes due 2020 to make a voluntarycash contribution to the primary plan. |

Litigation, Other Contingencies and Guarantees | Note 11 Litigation, Other Contingencies and Guarantees We are subject to various legal and governmental proceedings involving routine litigation incidental to our business. Reserves have been established based on our best estimates of our potential liability in certain of these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with in-house and outside counsel. While no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these matters, management currently believes that the final resolution of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources. As of May 1, 2010, we estimated our total potential environmental liabilities to range from $49 million to $60 million and recorded our best estimate of $50 million in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of that date. This estimate covered potential liabilities primarily related to underground storage tanks, remediation of environmental conditions involving our former Eckerd drugstore locations and asbestos removal in connection with approved plans to renovate or dispose of our facilities. We continue to assess required remediation and the adequacy of environmental reserves as new information becomes available and known conditions are further delineated. If we were to incur losses at the upper end of the estimated range, we do not believe that such losses would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. As of May 1, 2010, we had a guarantee totaling $20 million for the maximum exposure on insurance reserves established by a former subsidiary included in the sale of our Direct Marketing Services business. |

Effect of New Accounting Standards | Note 12 Effect of New Accounting Standards Fair Value Measurements In January 2010, we adopted the guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on improving annual disclosures about fair value measurements, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including significant transfers into and out of level 1 and level 2 categories and information on purchases, sales issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of level 3 measurements. The guidance was effective for us in the beginning of 2010, except for level 3 reconciliation disclosures, which will be effective for our 2010 year-end. Since these are disclosure only requirements, they do not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
