NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period
ended October 28, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ended February 3, 1996 due to the seasonal
nature of the business. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 1995.
2. The retail last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory method is used to value
merchandise inventories. Under this method, at October 28, 1995, and October
29, 1994, the LIFO cost of merchandise inventories was approximately $1.8
million and $16.3 million, respectively, less than the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) cost. At January 28, 1995, the LIFO cost of merchandise inventories
was approximately equal to FIFO cost. At January 29, 1994 the LIFO cost of
merchandise inventories was approximately $13.2 million less than FIFO cost.
3. Net sales include leased department sales of $7.3 million and $8.9
million for the quarters ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994,
respectively. Leased department sales for the nine months ended October 28,
1995 and October 29, 1994 were $23.2 million and $27.9 million, respectively.
Leased department sales for the twelve months ended October 28, 1995 and
October 29, 1994 were $41.6 million and $51.3 million, respectively.
4. On June 1, 1995, the Company issued $100 million aggregate principal
amount of its 6.875%, notes (6.99% yield to maturity) due June 1, 2005. The
notes were sold in an underwritten public offering and the proceeds were used
to reduce short-term borrowings.
5. On July 13, 1995, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement
for the acquisition of Gonzalez Padin Co., Inc., a San Juan, Puerto Rico,
based retailer, including the location of a new facility in the Plaza Las
Americas Mall in San Juan. The transaction was subject to negotiation and/or
satisfaction of various conditions. On September 15, 1995, the Company
announced that a final agreement among the various parties had not been
achieved and that, accordingly, negotiations had been terminated.
6. On December 7, 1995 the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to a registration
statement on Form S-3 for the purpose of registering $300 million of debt
securities. These securities will be in addition to the $100 million of debt
securities that the Company currently has available which are covered by an
effective registration statement.

Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth operating results expressed as a percentage
of net sales for the periods indicated:

Net income 3.6 3.8 3.5 3.5 4.5 4.5
Sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $1,405.6 million as compared to
$1,333.6 million for the third quarter of 1994. This is an increase of 5%.
The sales increase for comparable stores was 2%. The nine month sales
increase for 1995 over 1994 was 5%. The year to date comparable stores sales
increase was 2%. The twelve month sales increase for 1995 over 1994 was 6%,
for comparable stores the increase was 3%.
Cost of sales increased slightly from 65.0% of net sales for the third
quarter of 1994 to 65.1% for the third quarter of 1995. For the nine months
ended October 28, 1995 the cost of sales as a percent of net sales remained
constant at 65.6%. For the twelve months ended October 28, 1995 and October
29, 1994, there was a slight decrease from 65.3% to 65.2%.
Advertising, selling, administrative and general expenses increased to 25.6%
of net sales for the third quarter of 1995 compared to 25.2% for the third
quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended October 28, 1995 and October 29,
1994 these expenses increased as a percentage of net sales from 25.2% to
25.6%. For the twelve months ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994
they increased from 23.9% to 24.2%. These increases were primarily due to an
increase in payroll expense in the selling area.
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net sales remained
constant at 3.8% in the third quarter of 1995 and 1994. For the nine months
ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 these expenses increased as a
percentage of net sales from 3.7% to 3.8%. For the twelve months ended
October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 the increase was from 3.4% to 3.5%.
This was due to a higher proportion of the Company's properties being owned
rather than leased.
Rental expense decreased slightly from .9% of net sales for the third quarter
of 1994 to .8% for the third quarter of 1995. For the nine months ended
October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 these expenses decreased as a percent
of net sales from 1.0% to .8%. For the twelve months ended October 28, 1995
and October 29, 1994 the decrease was from 1.2% to 1.1%. This was due to a
higher proportion of the Company's properties being owned rather than leased.
Interest and debt expense decreased from 2.3% of net sales for the third
quarter of 1994 to 2.1% for the third quarter of 1995. For the nine months
ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 this income decreased as a
percentage of net sales from 2.5% to 2.2%. For the twelve months ended
October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 the decrease was from 2.3% to 2.0%.
Interest and debt expense declined as a percentage of net sales due to an
overall lower level of debt expense partially offset by higher interest rates
on short-term debt.
Service charges, interest and other income remained constant at 3.3% of net
sales for the third quarter in 1995 and 1994. For the nine months ended
October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 these expenses decreased as a
percentage of sales from 3.6% to 3.5%. For the twelve months ended October
28, 1995 and October 29, 1994 the decrease was from 3.4% to 3.2%. The
primary cause for this decrease was a decline in proprietary credit card
sales as a percentage of total sales.
The effective federal and state income tax rate was 38% for the third quarter
of 1995 and 1994.
Financial Condition
The Company's working capital was $1,736.8 million at October 28, 1995,
$1,765.8 million at January 28, 1995, and $1,653.7 million at October 29,
1994. The current ratio for these periods was 2.4, 3.3 and 2.4,
respectively. The ratio of long-term debt to capitalization was 32.3%, 34.1%
and 35.3% at October 28, 1995, January 28, 1995, and October 29, 1994,
respectively.
On June 1, 1995, the Company issued $100 million 6.875% notes due June 1,
2005. The proceeds were used to reduce short-term borrowings. At October
28, 1995, the Company had available for issuance $100 million aggregate
principal amount of unsecured debt covered by an effective registration
statement. On December 7, 1995, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to a
registration statement on Form S-3 for the purpose of registering $300
million of debt securities.
The Company invested $269.3 million in capital expenditures for the nine
months ended October 28, 1995 as compared to $192.8 million for the nine
months ended October 29, 1994. In 1995, the Company has built eleven new
stores, two of which were replacement stores, and remodeled and expanded
eight additional stores. In 1994, the Company opened nine new stores, two of
which were replacement stores, and significantly remodeled and expanded two
additional stores.
Merchandise inventories increased by 9% from $1,742.4 million at October 29,
1994 to $1,892.6 million at October 28, 1995. This increase was primarily
due to the opening of one new store in the fourth quarter of 1994 and nine
stores in the first three quarters of 1995. In addition, merchandise
increased by 4.3% on a comparable store basis.
Fluctuations in certain other balance sheet accounts between January 28, 1995
and October 28, 1995 reflect normal seasonal variations within the retail
industry.
