PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
On May 18, 2000, the stockholders of Tandy Corporation approved a change of the
name of the company to RadioShack Corporation ("RadioShack" or the "Company").
RadioShack was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. RadioShack primarily engages in
the retail sale of consumer electronics through the RadioShack(R) store
chain. Sales derived outside of the United States are not material.
RadioShack. At December 31, 2000, RadioShack operated 5,109 company-owned stores
located throughout the United States. These stores average approximately 2,300
square feet in gross area and are located in major malls and strip centers, as
well as individual storefronts. These locations carry a broad assortment of both
private label and third party branded products. The product lines include
electronic parts and accessories, cellular, PCS and conventional telephones,
audio and video equipment, direct-to-home ("DTH") satellite systems and personal
computers and related products, as well as specialized products such as scanners
and weather radios, among others. RadioShack also provides consumers access to
third party services such as cellular phone, PCS and pager activation, DTH
satellite programming, long distance telephone service, broadband and dial-up
Internet access and prepaid wireless airtime. At December 31, 2000, RadioShack
also had a network of 2,090 dealer/franchise outlets, including 54 located
outside of the U.S. These outlets provide private label and third party branded
products and services to smaller communities. The dealers are generally engaged
in other retail operations and augment their sales with RadioShack products.
Strategic Alliances. RadioShack has formed strategic alliances with
well-recognized companies. These alliances have or are expected to have a
significant impact on RadioShack's operations and financial strategy and
include:
At Home Corporation (Excite@Home) - On October 20, 2000, RadioShack
announced a strategic alliance with Excite@Home, the country's leading
broadband online service provider, whose major cable partners include
Comcast, AT&T and Cox, among others. Excite@Home service was rolled out in
RadioShack stores in November 2000 in select markets. The agreement also
encompasses joint marketing and an Excite@Home promotional display in
RadioShack stores.
Blockbuster Inc. ("Blockbuster") - On February 27, 2001, RadioShack
announced an alliance with Blockbuster to introduce a RadioShack "store-
within-a-store" concept within Blockbuster locations. The size of the
RadioShack merchandising areas will vary depending on the size of the
participating Blockbuster store, but may range from 600-square foot sections
to smaller kiosks. A wide selection of RadioShack's most popular product
and service offerings will be featured; however, specific inventory for the
stores will be determined as the program moves forward. The initial test
phase calls for 130 select Blockbuster stores in four markets to contain
"store-within-a-store" fixtures by summer 2001. If the test phase proves
successful and the alliance goes forward, management believes that this
alliance could provide access to complementary customer demographics, as
well as expand RadioShack's current outlet base.
Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") - Compaq is the sole supplier of
personal computers sold through RadioShack retail stores, participating
dealer/franchise outlets and on the Company's website.
DIRECTV, Inc. ("DIRECTV") - RadioShack sells direct-to-home satellite
systems and activates customers for DTH satellite programming, provided
exclusively by DIRECTV.
Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") - Microsoft's in-store display allows
RadioShack customers to view demonstrations of narrowband and broadband
technology and subscribe to MSN(TM)dial-up or broadband Internet access, as
well as view, on-line or in the stores, a broad range of existing and future
products, solutions and services based on Microsoft technologies. As of
December 31, 2000, substantially all of the company-owned stores and
approximately half of the dealer/franchise outlets had been fixtured for the
Microsoft Internet Center @ RadioShack via a "store-within-a-store" concept.
Sprint Communications Company and Sprint PCS ("Sprint") - Through its
telecommunications alliance with Sprint, RadioShack customers have access to
wireless PCS telephones and service, prepaid calling cards and long distance
telephone service, as well as residential telephones and related telephony
products, at the "Sprint Store at RadioShack."
Thomson Multimedia ("Thomson") - Thomson, which owns the RCA brand, supplies
RadioShack with various RCA-branded audio and video components such as
televisions, DTH satellite systems, VCRs, camcorders, digital video disc
(DVD) players, digital cameras, CD shelf systems and other digital
entertainment products. RCA products are sold through the RCA Digital
Entertainment Center at RadioShack via a "store-within-a-store," launched in
June 2000.
Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") - On August 1, 2000, RadioShack announced a
multi-year wireless telephone alliance with Verizon, the nation's largest
wireless communications service provider. This strategic alliance will
permit approximately 4,300 company-owned RadioShack stores to consolidate
cellular service offerings with a single service provider, thereby creating
training, marketing, inventory, repair and other supply-chain synergies.
Additionally, RadioShack and Verizon will create and implement a "store-
within-a-store" concept, which management anticipates launching in mid-2001.
In addition to RadioShack's existing relationship with Sprint PCS, the
Verizon alliance allows RadioShack to offer a second national wireless
carrier in a majority of the Company's retail stores. RadioShack continues
to offer cellular service in its other retail outlets through various
cellular carriers in areas not covered by Verizon.
RadioShack.com, LLC. ("RadioShack.com") In October 1999, RadioShack launched its
www.RadioShack.com website. As of December 31, 2000, there were over 22,000
products available through the website. An additional 10,000 products are
anticipated to be added in 2001. Online customers can purchase, return or
exchange products available on the RadioShack website at their local RadioShack.
Retail Support Operations.
RadioShack International Procurement Limited Partnership ("RSIP") - RSIP is
100% owned by RadioShack and its subsidiaries. RSIP serves the wide-ranging
international import/export, sourcing, evaluation, logistics and quality
control needs of the Company. RSIP also provides services for outside
customers, primarily InterTAN, Inc. ("InterTAN"). Most of RSIP's activity
for InterTAN involves sourcing of goods from manufacturers in Asia.
Consumer Electronics Manufacturing - RadioShack operates seven manufacturing
facilities in the United States and one overseas manufacturing operation in
China. These eight manufacturing facilities employed approximately 3,700
employees as of December 31, 2000. RadioShack manufactures a variety of
products, primarily sold through its retail outlets, including telephony,
antennas, wire and cable products and a wide variety of "hard to find" parts
and accessories for consumer electronic products.
RadioShack Customer Support - Using state-of-the-art telephone and data
networks, RadioShack Customer Support responds to more than six million
phone calls and emails annually. The responses include answers to technical
questions, customer service inquiries and direct sales requests related to
RadioShack's catalog operations, its website and "hard to find" products
offered through the RadioShack Unlimited program.
RadioShack Installation Services ("RSIS") - RSIS, through its 69 field
offices located in 30 states, designs, installs and maintains cabling
systems for the transmission of video, voice and data, primarily for home
use. RSIS provides these services to both RadioShack and other outside
parties. Services for RadioShack consist primarily of customer DTH
satellite system installations, but also include installations relating to
broadband Internet access.
RadioShack Service Centers - RadioShack maintains a service and support
network to service the consumer electronics and personal computer retail
industry in the U.S. At December 31, 2000, there were 56 RadioShack Service
Centers in the U.S. which repair name brand and private label products sold
from the Company's various sales channels. RadioShack is also a vendor-
authorized service provider for such leading manufacturers as Compaq, Sony,
Hitachi, Hewlett-Packard, RCA/Thomson and Nokia, among others and also
performs repairs for third-party service centers and extended service plan
providers under national service agreements.
RadioShack Technology Services - The Company's management information system
architecture is composed of a distributed, online network of computers that
links all stores, customer channels, delivery locations, service centers,
credit providers, distribution facilities and the corporate offices into a
fully integrated system. Each store has its own server to support the point
of sale system. This design also allows store management to track sales
and/or inventory at the product, customer or sales associate level. This
division provides the majority of programming and system analysis needs of
the Company.
Regional Distribution Centers - There are 10 distribution centers which ship
over one million cartons each month to the company-owned retail stores and
dealer/franchise outlets. Four of these distribution centers also serve as
fulfillment centers for on-line purchases made through www.RadioShack.com.
SEASONALITY
As is the case with other retail businesses, RadioShack's net sales and other
revenues are greater during the Christmas season than during other periods of
the year. There is a corresponding pre-seasonal inventory build-up, which
requires working capital related to the anticipated increased sales volume. See
Note 21 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for quarterly data.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
RadioShack owns or is licensed to use many trademarks and service marks related
to its business in the United States and in foreign countries. Radio Shack,
RadioShack, RadioShack.com, You've got questions. We've got answers, America's
Home Connectivity Store and Around The Corner and Around The Clock are some of
the marks most widely used by the Company. RadioShack believes that the
RadioShack name and marks are well recognized by consumers, and that the name
and marks are associated with high-quality service. RadioShack's manufactured
products are sold primarily under the RadioShack trademark. RadioShack also owns
various patents relating to electronic products designed and manufactured by
RadioShack. RadioShack believes that the loss of the RadioShack name and
RadioShack marks would be material to its business.
SUPPLIERS
RadioShack's marketing strategy depends, in part, upon its ability to offer both
private label and third party branded products, as well as third party services,
to its customers. RadioShack utilizes a large number of suppliers located in
various parts of the world to obtain its raw materials and private label
merchandise. Management does not expect a lack of availability of raw material
or any single private label product to have a material impact on its operations.
In terms of third party branded products sold by RadioShack, no single vendor
provided in excess of 10% of RadioShack's aggregate product purchases in 2000.
However, certain vendors, strategic allies and service providers are important
to RadioShack's business and the loss of or disruption in supply from one of
these could have a material adverse effect on RadioShack's sales. Additionally,
certain suppliers have, at times, limited their supply of products to
RadioShack.
BACKLOG ORDERS
RadioShack has no material backlog of orders for the products or services it
sells.
COMPETITION
Despite rising consumer demand for wireless communications products and
services, as well as a rapid consumer acceptance of new digital technology
products, the consumer electronics retail business still remains highly
competitive, driven by technology and product cycles, as well as the overall
state of the economy.
In the consumer electronics retailing business, competitive factors include
price, product availability, quality and features, consumer services,
manufacturing and distribution capability, brand reputation and the number of
competitors. RadioShack competes in the sale of its products and services with
several retail formats. Consumer electronics retailers include both Circuit City
and Best Buy/MusicLand. Department and specialty stores, such as Sears and The
Home Depot, compete on more of a select product scale. Sprint and Verizon
compete directly with RadioShack through their own retail and online presence.
Mass merchants such as Wal-Mart and Target, and other alternative channels of
distribution such as mail order and e-commerce, compete with RadioShack on a
more widespread basis. With respect to the products sold by RadioShack, numerous
domestic and foreign companies also manufacture similar products for other
retailers, which are sold under nationally recognized brand names or private
labels.
Management believes RadioShack has two primary factors differentiating itself
from the competition. First is its extensive physical retail presence of
approximately 7,200 conveniently located retail outlets nationwide.
Additionally, RadioShack's specially trained sales staff is capable of providing
enhanced product explanations, assisting customers with service activation,
where applicable, and assisting with the selection of appropriate products and
accessories.
Another differentiating factor is RadioShack's strategic alliances with
well-recognized companies. These alliances with such companies as Sprint,
Verizon, Thomson and Compaq, among others, augment the strong position that
RadioShack has historically maintained in its core product categories such as
batteries, communications equipment, telephony, antennas and parts and
accessories. Additionally, RadioShack is able to leverage name brand
recognition, marketing efforts and advertising campaigns with its allies and
also create cross-revenue opportunities for repair service income, residual
income, consumer acquisition fees and rebates.
Given the highly competitive nature of the consumer electronics retail business,
no assurance can be given that RadioShack will continue to compete successfully
with respect to each of the factors referenced above. Also, in light of the
ever-changing nature of the electronics retail industry, RadioShack would be
adversely affected if its competitors were able to offer their products at
significantly lower prices, introduce innovative or technologically superior
products not yet available to RadioShack, or if RadioShack was unable to obtain
certain products in a timely manner or for an extended period of time.
With respect to the expansion of the Internet, management does not believe
e-commerce retailers currently provide significant competition to RadioShack.
This, however, could change and become significant over time. Management further
believes that RadioShack is well positioned to meet the increasing competition
from Internet retailers with its www.RadioShack.com website, coupled with
RadioShack's extensive physical retail presence, service capabilities and wide
assortment of consumer electronics products.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2000, RadioShack had approximately 43,600 employees.
Approximately 10,000 temporary retail employees were hired for the holiday
selling season; however, less than 3,000 of these temporary employees remained
at year-end. RadioShack's employees are not covered by collective bargaining
agreements nor are they members of labor unions. RadioShack's management
considers its relationship with its employees to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Information on RadioShack's properties is in Management's Discussion and
Analysis and the financial statements included in this Form 10-K and is
incorporated into this Item 2 by reference. The following items are discussed
further on the referenced pages:
Page
Retail Outlets............................... 12
Property, Plant and Equipment................ 36
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities....... 40
RadioShack leases, rather than owns, most of its retail and service center
facilities. RadioShack stores are located primarily in major shopping malls,
stand-alone buildings or shopping centers owned by other entities. RadioShack
owns most of the property on which its executive offices are located in downtown
Fort Worth, Texas, all distribution centers, except for two which are leased,
and most of its manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States.
The Company leases seven administrative offices and one manufacturing plant in
the Asia Pacific region. RSIS headquarters and field offices are also leased.
Existing distribution center and office facilities are reviewed periodically to
determine if RadioShack's space is adequate to meet its needs in the foreseeable
future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
RadioShack has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties,
investigations and pending actions involving allegations of negligence, product
defects, discrimination, infringement of intellectual property rights, tax
deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses, breach of contract, various
labor related claims and other matters against RadioShack and its subsidiaries
incident to the operation of its business. The liability, if any, associated
with these matters was not determinable at December 31, 2000. Although
occasional adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively impact
earnings in the year of settlement, it is the opinion of management that their
ultimate resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on RadioShack's
financial position.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

(2) Earnings used in computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges consist
of pre-tax earnings and fixed charges. Fixed charges are defined as
interest expense related to debt, amortization expense related to deferred
financing costs and a portion of rental charges. Pre-tax earnings were not
sufficient to cover fixed charges during 1996 by approximately $145.6
million. Excluding $230.3 million (net of taxes) in restructuring and
other charges, the 1996 ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been
2.57.
(3) Includes current portion of capital leases and TESOP indebtedness.
(4) Total debt includes capital leases and TESOP indebtedness. Capitalization
is defined as total debt plus total stockholders' equity.
(5) Excluding a $5.9 million (net of taxes) provision related to restricted
stock awards in 1999, return on average stockholders' equity would have
been 33.1%.
(6) Excluding $183.9 million (net of taxes) for provisions related to
restricted stock awards and loss on sale of Computer City, as well as
Computer City operating losses and other business writedowns in 1998,
return on average stockholders' equity would have been 23.6%.
(7) Excluding $230.3 million (net of taxes) in restructuring and other charges
in 1996, return on average stockholders' equity would have been 8.9%.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS ("MD&A").
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in MD&A
contain forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties
and are indicated by words such as "anticipates," "expects," "believes," "will,"
"should," "could," and similar words and phrases. Factors that could cause
RadioShack Corporation's ("RadioShack" or the "Company") actual results to
differ materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and
expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
o changes in the amount and degree of promotional intensity exerted by current
competitors and potential new competition from both retail stores and
alternative methods or channels of distribution, such as e-commerce,
telephone shopping services and mail order;
o the inability to successfully implement and execute RadioShack's strategic
initiatives, including the development of its new strategic business units
("SBUs") and emerging sales channels, as well as new alliances which may be
formed with other retailers, such as Blockbuster Inc. ("Blockbuster") and
third party service providers;
o changes in general U.S. or regional U.S. economic conditions including, but
not limited to, consumer credit availability, interest rates, inflation,
personal discretionary spending levels and consumer sentiment and confidence
about the economy in general;
o the inability to successfully market and execute the www.RadioShack.com(SM)
website and its coordination with RadioShack retail outlets and the
Company's other existing and/or emerging sales channels;
o the presence or absence of new services or products and product features in
the merchandise categories RadioShack sells and unexpected changes in
RadioShack's actual merchandise sales mix;
o the inability to maintain profitable contracts or execute business plans
with service providers relating to cellular and PCS telephones, direct-to-
home ("DTH") satellite programming, Internet access and high-speed
bandwidth;
o the inability to collect the level of anticipated residual income, consumer
acquisition fees and rebates for products and third party services offered
by RadioShack;
o the inability to successfully implement and execute RadioShack's strategic
alliances with Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"), Cellco Partnership (dba
Verizon Wireless), At Home Corporation (Excite@Home) and/or Blockbuster;
o the inability of the Company to fully recover investments made in the
securities of other companies;
o lack of availability or access to sources of supply inventory (as a large
importer of consumer electronic products from Asia, unfavorable trade
imbalances could negatively affect RadioShack);
o the inability to retain and grow an effective management team in a dynamic
environment or changes in the cost or availability of a suitable work force
to manage and support RadioShack's service-driven operating strategies;
o the imposition of new restrictions or regulations regarding the sale of
products and/or services RadioShack sells or changes in tax rules and
regulations applicable to RadioShack;
o the adoption rate and market demand for high-speed Internet and other
Internet-related services; or
o the occurrence of severe weather events which prohibit consumers from
travelling to the Company's retail locations, especially during the peak
Christmas season.
Both the United States retail industry and the specialty retail industry in
particular are dynamic by nature and have undergone significant changes over the
past several years. RadioShack's ability to anticipate and successfully respond
to continuing challenges is key to achieving its expectations.
STOCK SPLIT
On May 25, 1999, RadioShack's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of
RadioShack common stock, payable on June 21, 1999. All references to the number
of shares (other than common stock issued or outstanding for 1998 on the
accompanying Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity), per share amounts,
cash dividends and any other reference to shares, unless otherwise noted, have
been adjusted to reflect the split on a retroactive basis. Previously awarded
stock options, restricted stock awards and all other agreements payable in
RadioShack's common stock have also been adjusted or amended to reflect the
split.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2000 COMPARED WITH 1999
- -----------------------
NET SALES AND OPERATING REVENUES
RadioShack's overall sales increased 16.2% to $4,794.7 million in 2000 from
$4,126.2 million in 1999, due primarily to a 10.9% comparable company-owned
store sales gain and the opening of 22 new stores, net of store closures.
Additionally, sales to RadioShack's dealer/franchise outlets experienced strong
growth throughout the year. RadioShack's comparable store sales increase was due
primarily to increased sales of communications products and sales of audio and
video equipment, which includes DTH satellite systems and services. Despite
weakening in the retail sector, RadioShack expects a positive store sales gain
for 2001. The following table summarizes RadioShack's retail sales breakdown by
category as a percent of total RadioShack retail sales (excluding outside sales
from retail support operations):

The communications category includes wireless communications such as cellular
and PCS telephones, as well as residential telephones, answering machines,
pagers and other related telephony products. The communications category
increased 10% in dollars, but decreased as a percentage of total retail sales to
27.9% in 2000, from 29.3% in 1999. This category decrease was due to the audio
and video category becoming a larger percentage of total retail sales. Unit
sales of PCS and cellular telephones increased 23% over the prior year to 4.1
million units. Unit and dollar sales of both PCS and cellular telephones are
expected to continue to increase in 2001.
Sales of electronic parts, accessories and specialty equipment decreased as a
percentage of total retail sales in 2000 when compared to 1999, despite a 5%
sales gain. The category was 24.8% of RadioShack's retail sales mix in 2000,
down from 27.2% in 1999, primarily due to the audio and video category becoming
a higher percent of the product mix in 2000. This category is expected to
increase in sales, but decrease as a percentage of RadioShack's retail sales mix
in 2001.
Sales in the audio and video category increased approximately 47% in 2000, when
compared to 1999, due primarily to the June 2000 launch of The RCA Digital
Entertainment Center at RadioShack and a significant increase in DTH satellite
system and services sales. In addition, the audio and video category increased
from 17.1% of the retail sales mix in 1999 to 22.5% in 2000. This category
includes televisions, VCRs, camcorders, digital video disc (DVD) players,
digital cameras, CD shelf systems and other digital entertainment products, in
addition to DTH satellite systems and services. Management believes the audio
and video category will continue to increase in dollar sales and as a percent of
RadioShack's total retail sales in 2001.
Personal electronics and seasonal products decreased to 8.6% of RadioShack's
retail sales mix in 2000 from 9.4% in 1999, due primarily to an overall shift in
the product mix described above. This category experienced a 5% sales increase
over the prior year as a result of increased sales of giftable items, electronic
gadgets and remote control cars.
Sales of personal computers and peripherals were 8.7% of RadioShack's retail
sales in both 2000 and 1999. This category had a 12% unit sales gain in CPUs and
had a 15% dollar sales gain for the year. The average selling price of CPUs
decreased 6%, in line with the general market decline. The average selling price
of CPUs and monitors, for the industry in general as well as for RadioShack, is
expected to decrease slightly in 2001. Despite this downward trend, management
believes that the higher unit sales volumes of personal computers and
peripherals, as well as anticipated increased sales of handheld computers and
Internet appliances, will contribute to increased sales of this category. In
addition, increases in sales in the personal computer and peripherals category
should strengthen sales of higher gross margin products and services, such as
accessories and extended service contracts.
Sales in the services and other category, which includes residual income, as
well as income from prepaid wireless airtime, repair services and extended
service contracts, increased approximately 7% in dollars, but decreased as a
percent of RadioShack retail sales to 7.5% in 2000 from 8.3% in 1999. The
increase in sales was primarily due to an increase in residual income received
from RadioShack's third party providers of wireless communications, offset by a
decrease in sales of prepaid wireless airtime. Sales in the services and other
category also decreased due to the reclassification of RadioShack.com sales from
this category to the appropriate product categories in 2000. Residual income is
also earned on sales of Sprint long distance and paging services. Residual
income varies by third party service provider, but is typically a portion of the
continuing service revenue paid by the consumer to the service provider
throughout the ensuing months and/or years of that consumer's subscription. In
2000, RadioShack earned approximately $104.0 million of residual income,
compared to $63.0 million in 1999. At year end, the Company earned residual
income on approximately 6.1 million service provider subscribers. Residual
income is expected to continue to increase in 2001; however, increases are
dependent upon such factors as continued usage of certain services and stability
of average revenue per subscriber, among other factors.
Think Growth Initiative: In December 2000, RadioShack announced its new Think
Growth initiative. This initiative is designed to generate incremental sales and
profit opportunities beyond the Company's existing category and customer base.
Three Strategic Business Units were formed to better align the organization with
its business strategy of demystifying technology for the mass market and,
ultimately, to become America's Connectivity Solution. The three SBUs formed
were The Connecting People SBU, The Connecting Places SBU and The Connecting
Things SBU.
The Connecting Things SBU will focus on RadioShack's core product offerings of
parts and accessories, seasonal products including toys, personal electronics
and batteries, in addition to parts and components offered to commercial
customers. In light of increased sales of giftable items and an increased
business to business customer focus through RadioShack's online presence and
planned direct marketing efforts, along with the advent of digital convergence
which requires additional accessories, management anticipates enhanced sales
growth for these highly profitable products.
The Connecting People SBU will concentrate on communications products and third
party services which not only include current offerings, but also capture such
emerging technologies as combining wireless products and the Internet, as well
as high-speed video phones. The various products included in this SBU are
telephone and telephone accessories, wireless phones and accessories, pagers and
other related services, as well as radio communications devices. The Company's
strategic allies for the Connecting People SBU include both Sprint and Verizon.
The Connecting Places SBU's focus will include personal computers, Internet
appliances, hand-held computer devices and related products, audio and video
products and services, including DTH satellite systems and services and dial-up
and broadband Internet access, among others. Many of the products and services
in this SBU are aimed at providing customer solutions for connecting to and
utilizing high-speed bandwidth. Bandwidth refers to volume at which data can be
transmitted and, depending on the volume delivered, may enable consumers to have
such capabilities as instant and/or high-speed Internet access, movies on demand
and multiple phone/fax connections through a single phone or cable line. This
SBU utilizes the Company's strategic alliances with Compaq, DIRECTV,
Excite@Home, Microsoft and Thomson to offer convenience, service and product
specialties.
Each SBU is designed to find more efficient and convenient ways to serve
RadioShack sales channels. In addition to its 5,100 company-owned stores and
2,100 dealer/franchise outlets, RadioShack's existing and emerging sales
channels include the www.RadioShack.com website and catalog operations, as well
as a sophisticated outbound and inbound telephone call center.
In terms of its online presence, the Company's clicks and mortar strategy is
designed to not only draw repeat traffic to its website, but also to
RadioShack's retail stores. RadioShack.com derives a significant portion of its
revenue from sales to businesses, government agencies and educational
institutions. These commercial customers may order product via the web, phone,
mail or fax with no minimum order required. In 2001, RadioShack plans to further
enhance its sales to commercial customers via direct mail and telemarketing
efforts.
On February 27, 2001, RadioShack announced an alliance with Blockbuster, to
introduce a RadioShack "store-within-a-store" concept within Blockbuster
locations. The size of the RadioShack merchandising areas will vary depending on
the size of the participating Blockbuster store, but may range from 600-square
foot sections to smaller kiosks. A wide selection of RadioShack's most popular
product and service offerings will be featured; however, specific inventory for
the stores will be determined as the program moves forward. The initial test
phase calls for 130 select Blockbuster stores in four markets to contain
"store-within-a-store" fixtures by summer 2001. If the test phase proves
successful and the alliance goes forward, management believes that this alliance
could provide access to complementary demographics, as well as expand
RadioShack's current outlet base.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for RadioShack was $2,369.6 million or 49.4% of net sales and
operating revenues, compared with $2,083.5 million or 50.5% of net sales and
operating revenues in 1999. This gross profit percentage decrease was partially
due to a shift within RadioShack's product offerings to increased sales of third
party branded audio and video products, primarily DTH satellite systems, which
have a lower gross margin than RadioShack overall. To a lesser degree, the gross
profit percentage decrease was due to a decrease in the wireless communications
gross margin. The decrease was further impacted by increased sales to
dealer/franchise stores, which have a lower gross margin percentage than sales
to retail customers. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
residual income, which has 100% gross margin, as well as by an increase in the
gross profit percentages for both the personal computer and peripherals category
and the parts, accessories and specialty equipment category. Management
anticipates that gross profit as a percentage of net sales and operating
revenues could continue to decrease during 2001, when compared to 2000. An
expected increase in residual income should partially offset this decrease.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
The table below summarizes the breakdown of various components of RadioShack's
consolidated selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense and its

(1) Excludes compensation expense for restricted stock awards of $9.6 million
and $82.6 million relating to 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(2) Includes expenses related to Computer City, Inc. ("Computer City") before
its sale to CompUSA Inc.("CompUSA") on August 31, 1998.
RadioShack's SG&A expense increased 9.9% in dollars, but decreased as a percent
of net sales and operating revenues to 34.1% for the year ended December 31,
2000 from 36.0% for the year ended December 31, 1999. This 1.9 percentage point
decrease in the SG&A percentage in 2000 was due primarily to the favorable
effect of increased sales at RadioShack during 2000.
Payroll expense for RadioShack increased by $94.4 million to $836.2 million in
2000, but decreased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 17.4% in
2000, compared to 18.0% in 1999. This dollar increase was due primarily to
RadioShack retail store expansions and increases in personnel, commissions,
bonuses and other incentives resulting from RadioShack's strong comparable store
sales and profits.
Rent expense for the Company increased in dollars by $9.7 million to $215.2
million in 2000, but decreased as a percent of RadioShack's net sales and
operating revenues to 4.5% in 2000 from 5.0% in 1999. The rent increase was due
primarily to 22 new RadioShack store openings, net of store closures, throughout
the year, as well as lease renewals at slightly higher rates. The 0.5 percentage
point decrease was due primarily to the favorable effect of increased comparable
RadioShack stores sales on the expense rate structure.
Advertising expense for RadioShack increased $27.2 million in dollars, but
decreased as a percentage of RadioShack's net sales and operating revenues to
$227.1 million and 4.7% of sales in 2000, compared to $199.9 million and 4.8% of
sales in 1999. The dollar increase was due primarily to a shift in advertising
from print to television advertising. In addition, the decrease as a percentage
of sales and operating revenues reflects the sales leverage gained from
RadioShack's sales increase.
In 2001, RadioShack's SG&A expense is expected to increase in dollars due to
additional sales volume and normal inflation, but decrease as a percentage of
net sales and operating revenues. This decreased percentage of net sales and
operating revenue is expected as a result of increased sales leverage gained
from anticipated comparable store sales increases and, to a lesser extent, an
increase in new store openings.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $36.1 million for 2000 versus
$16.8 million for 1999.
Interest expense increased to $53.9 million in 2000, from $37.2 million in 1999.
This increase was primarily the result of an increase in RadioShack's average
debt outstanding throughout 2000, due to share repurchases and the Company's
investment in inventory, as well as to an increase in short-term interest rates
when compared to the prior year. Interest income decreased almost 13% to $17.8
million in 2000 from $20.4 million in 1999, due primarily to repayment of
various notes receivable associated with the Company's liquidation of other
retail formats.
Interest expense, net of interest income, is expected to decrease slightly
during 2001, primarily due to an anticipated decrease in short-term debt levels.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 38.0% for both
2000 and 1999.
1999 COMPARED WITH 1998
- -----------------------
NET SALES AND OPERATING REVENUES
Consolidated net sales and operating revenues decreased 13.8% from $4,787.9
million in 1998 to $4,126.2 million in 1999; this decrease was attributable
primarily to the sale of Computer City to CompUSA on August 31, 1998.
Consolidated comparable store sales for 1999 are not meaningful, due to this
sale. Prior to 1999, the Company operated two segments, RadioShack and Computer
City.
RadioShack Segment
- ------------------
Sales for the RadioShack segment in 1999 increased 14.9% from $3,591.2 million
in 1998 to $4,126.2 million in 1999; this increase was due primarily to a 12.2%
comparable company-owned store sales gain and the opening of 48 new stores, net
of store closures. RadioShack's comparable store sales increase was driven
primarily by increased sales of communications products, prepaid wireless
airtime and sales of audio and video equipment, including DTH satellite systems
and services. The communications category, the largest product category of
RadioShack's retail sales mix in 1999, increased as a percentage of total retail
sales in 1999, primarily due to a 50% increase in unit sales of PCS and cellular
telephones. Sales of electronic parts, accessories and specialty equipment
decreased 2.8 percentage points of total retail sales in 1999, despite a 4%
sales gain. Personal electronics and seasonal products decreased 1.0 percentage
point of RadioShack's retail sales mix in 1999. Both of these product categories
decreased as a percent of total retail sales, due primarily to the
communications category and the services and other category becoming a higher
percent of the product mix in 1999. The audio and video category experienced a
sales increase of approximately 27% during 1999, due primarily to a strong
increase in sales of DTH satellite systems and services. Sales of personal
computers and peripherals were 8.7% of RadioShack's retail sales in 1999,
compared to 9.1% in 1998, despite a large unit gain and a 10% sales gain for the
year. The average selling price of CPUs decreased 16% in 1999, in line with the
general market decline. Sales in the services and other category increased in
1999 in dollars and as a percent of RadioShack retail sales, due to an increase
in sales of prepaid wireless airtime, as well as to an increase in residual
income received from RadioShack's third party providers of communications and
DTH satellite programming services. In 1999, RadioShack earned approximately
$63.0 million of residual income, compared to $34.2 million in 1998.
Computer City Segment
- ---------------------
Computer City was sold to CompUSA effective August 31, 1998.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit for RadioShack Corporation in 1999 was $2,083.5 million or 50.5% of
net sales and operating revenues, compared with $2,004.4 million or 41.9% of net
sales and operating revenues in 1998. This increase in gross profit as a
percentage of net sales and operating revenues was primarily the result of
RadioShack retail sales constituting all of the Company's consolidated net sales
and operating revenues in 1999, when compared to 1998. Computer City was sold to
CompUSA on August 31, 1998. Computer City had an inherently lower gross margin
percentage than consolidated RadioShack Corporation.
The RadioShack segment's gross profit increased 11.4% in dollars for 1999 versus
1998, but decreased as a percentage of RadioShack's total sales by 1.6
percentage points for the same period. This percentage decrease was due
primarily to mix shifts within RadioShack's product offerings as sales of lower
margin categories increased as a portion of the overall sales volume. The
decrease in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in residual income,
which has 100% gross margin.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
RadioShack Corporation's 1999 SG&A expense decreased slightly in dollars, but
increased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 36.0% versus 33.0%
in 1998. The higher SG&A percentage in 1999 was due to RadioShack becoming the
only operating unit in 1999 (see "Gross Profit" above). The RadioShack segment
operated at a higher relative SG&A expense level than the Company as whole in
1998. Excluding Computer City and other closed units, the Company's SG&A expense
as a percentage of sales would have approximated 37.7% in 1998.
Despite the sale of Computer City in 1998, payroll expense for the Company
increased in dollars and as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to
18.0% in 1999 from 15.3% in 1998. This increase was due primarily to RadioShack
retail store expansions, changes in compensation plans and increases in
personnel, commissions, bonuses and other incentives resulting from RadioShack's
strong comparable store sales and profits. Rent expense for RadioShack
Corporation decreased in dollars in comparison with 1998, but increased as a
percent of net sales and operating revenues to 5.0% in 1999 from 4.5% in 1998.
This increase was due to the sale of Computer City, which had lower rent expense
as a percentage of sales than the Company as a whole. Rent expense for the
RadioShack segment increased in dollars in 1999, but decreased as a percent of
sales. Advertising expense for consolidated RadioShack Corporation decreased in
dollars, but increased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues in 1999,
when compared to 1998, due to the sale of Computer City. There was also a dollar
decrease in advertising expense for the RadioShack segment in 1999 from 1998.
The dollar decrease resulted from an increase in marketing development funds
received from third party service providers.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
On February 1, 1998, RadioShack Corporation granted approximately 649,500
restricted stock awards consisting of 500 shares each to 1,299 RadioShack store
managers not included in the February 1, 1997 restricted stock grant. The
February 1998 restricted stock awards had a weighted average fair market value
of $19.61 per share when granted. This restricted stock grant was to vest on
February 2, 2003, if managers receiving the grants were employed by the Company
at a store manager or higher position, at that time. However, the grants
provided that the restricted shares would vest early if RadioShack common stock
closed at $29.0625 or more for any 20 consecutive trading days beginning
February 1, 2000. At December 31, 1999, it was probable that the 348,000 shares
that remained outstanding under this grant would vest under the early vesting
provisions. The resulting charge to compensation expense of $14.7 million,
including related payroll taxes, was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Vesting of these restricted stock awards occurred on February 29, 2000, when
RadioShack's common stock closed above the targeted amount for the twentieth
consecutive trading day. Vesting resulted in the issuance of 336,000 shares of
RadioShack's common stock at a fair market value of $37.53 per share.
In the fourth quarter of 1998, RadioShack Corporation recorded estimated
compensation expense of $82.6 million related to the early vesting of restricted
stock awards that had been granted to 4,907 store managers on February 1, 1997.
These awards vested on March 1, 1999 and the actual price of the stock and the
number of shares vested differed from the estimated accrual at December 31,
1998. The amount of this difference, $5.1 million, was recorded as a credit to
expense in the first quarter of 1999.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $16.8 million for 1999 versus
$34.6 million for 1998. Interest expense decreased 18.1% in 1999, due to
RadioShack no longer having to incur interest expense on Computer City capital
lease obligations, as well as to a corresponding decrease in the Company's
average debt outstanding during 1999.
Interest income increased almost 90% to $20.4 million in 1999 from $10.8 million
in 1998, due primarily to interest from the $136.0 million CompUSA note
receivable which was outstanding for a full year.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 38.0% for 1999
compared with 38.5% for 1998. The decrease in 1999 resulted primarily from
improved utilization of foreign tax credits and implementation of certain state
income tax initiatives.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"),
which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. RadioShack uses derivatives only in limited circumstances.
The Company adopted SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001 and the impact was not
material.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Year Ended December 31,
--------------------------------
(In millions) 2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
Operating activities $ 116.5 $ 561.6 $ 414.8
Investing activities (34.0) (121.0) (93.0)
Financing activities (116.4) (340.5) (363.2)
In 2000, cash flow provided by operating activities was $116.5 million, compared
to $561.6 million and $414.8 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash flow
from net income, adjusted for non-cash items, increased $63.4 million from 1999
to 2000. This increase was primarily due to increased operating profit at
RadioShack. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities was the result
of a $508.5 million use of cash by working capital components. Inventory
increased $302.9 million over the prior year period, reflecting an increased
level of inventory required by higher sales levels and increased inventory
levels of wireless phones, DTH satellite systems, and landline phones.
Additionally, an increase of $149.0 million in accounts receivable consisted
primarily of amounts due from RadioShack's strategic allies in the form of
consumer acquisition fees, marketing support and rebate programs.
Investing activities used $34.0 million in cash in 2000, compared to $121.0
million and $93.0 million used in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Capital
expenditures approximated $119.6 million in 2000, compared to $102.4 million in
1999 and $131.5 million in 1998. Capital expenditures for 2000 consisted
primarily of RadioShack store expansions and remodels, costs related to a new
distribution facility, upgrades of information systems, and the purchase of
vehicles for the RadioShack Installation Services division. Capital expenditures
for 1999 and 1998 were used primarily for retail expansion and upgrading
information systems, including Year 2000 (Y2K) initiatives. Management
anticipates that the capital expenditure requirement for 2001 will approximate
$130.0 million to $135.0 million. These expenditures will primarily relate to
RadioShack future store expansions and remodels, updated information systems
and, to a lesser extent, upgrades relating to RadioShack's distribution and
manufacturing facilities. On January 4, 2000, RadioShack received $100.0 million
in cash from Microsoft, which related to Microsoft's investment in
RadioShack.com, LLC, a limited liability company formed by RadioShack and
Microsoft for the purpose of marketing and selling electronics products on the
Internet. In June 2000, RadioShack made a $30.0 million dollar investment in
Digital:Convergence Corporation, an Internet technology company. In addition,
the Company generated $17.9 million in cash during 2000 from the sale of equity
securities.
Cash used by financing activities was $116.4 million in 2000, compared to $340.5
million and $363.2 million in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Purchases of treasury
stock required cash of $400.6 million, $422.2 million and $337.4 million in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. (See "Capital Structure and Financial
Condition" below for further information on RadioShack's stock repurchase
programs.) The 2000, 1999 and 1998 stock repurchases were partially funded by
$66.3 million, $81.5 million and $57.8 million, respectively, received from the
sale of treasury stock to employee stock plans and from stock option exercises.
Dividends paid, net of tax, in 2000, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $44.7 million,
$42.5 million and $44.8 million, respectively. The increase in dividends paid in
2000 resulted from an increase in the per share dividend. Medium-term notes
issued by RadioShack provided approximately $101.6 million and $45.7 million in
cash in 1999 and 1998, respectively, the majority of which was used to repay
current maturities of long-term debt. In 2000, the increase in short-term debt
was used primarily to fund increases in accounts receivable, share repurchases
and additional inventory. In 1999, RadioShack used excess cash flow to decrease
its short-term debt from the prior year by $42.3 million.

investment grade, follow:

CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RadioShack's available borrowing facilities as of December 31, 2000 are detailed
in Note 6 - "Indebtedness and Borrowing Facilities" of the Notes.
On December 14, 2000, RadioShack announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized management to purchase up to 10.0 million additional shares of its
common stock with a new share repurchase program, upon completion of its
existing 60.0 million share program in December 2000. The new program has no
expiration date. During 2000, 3.4 million shares were repurchased for $167.4
million under both programs, including 0.1 million shares for $6.6 million under
the new 10.0 million share program. An additional 0.2 million shares were
repurchased for $9.5 million from January 1, 2001 to March 19, 2001.
Additionally, on October 26, 1998, RadioShack announced that its Board of
Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 10.0 million shares of
RadioShack's common stock for an indefinite period of time to be used to offset
the dilution of grants under RadioShack's incentive stock plans (see Note 13 -
"Stock Options and Performance Awards" of the Notes). Approximately 3.0 million
shares were repurchased in 2000 for $144.4 million, bringing the total share
repurchases at December 31, 2000 under this program to 10.0 million shares
totaling $398.9 million. No more shares may be repurchased under this program.
The purchases under the share repurchase programs described above are in
addition to the shares required for employee stock purchase plans, which are
purchased throughout the year. Purchases will continue to be made in 2001 in the
open market with funding of the programs coming from excess free cash flow and
short-term borrowings, if needed.
RadioShack's primary source of short-term debt consists of short-term seasonal
bank debt and commercial paper, which have maturities of less than 90 days. In
the second quarter of 2000, RadioShack increased its $200.0 million 364-day
revolving credit facility to $300.0 million and also extended the maturity date
to June 2001. The terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility remain similar
to the previous facility. RadioShack also has a $300.0 million five-year
revolving credit facility maturing June 2003. The revolving credit facilities
are used as backup for the commercial paper program and may also be utilized for
general corporate purposes. Annual commitment fees for the facilities are 0.07%
of the $300.0 million 364-day facility and 0.085% of the $300.0 million
multiyear facility, whether used or unused. During the second quarter of 2001,
RadioShack plans to extend the 364-day facility to June 2002.
The total debt-to-capitalization ratio was 47.0% at December 31, 2000, 38.0% at
December 31, 1999 and 35.6% at December 31, 1998. These increases in the
debt-to-capitalization ratios result from an increase in debt levels related
primarily to the share repurchase program and increased inventory and accounts
receivable levels.
RadioShack has a $300.0 million Debt Shelf Registration Statement ("Shelf
Registration"). In August 1997, RadioShack issued $150.0 million of 10 year
unsecured notes under the Shelf Registration. The interest rate on the notes is
6.95% per annum with interest payable on September 1 and March 1 of each year,
commencing March 1, 1998. The notes are due September 1, 2007. In December 1997
and January 1998, RadioShack issued $4.0 million and $45.0 million,
respectively, in medium-term notes under the remaining $150.0 million Shelf
Registration. An additional $32.0 million, $37.0 million and $32.0 million of
medium-term notes were issued in January 1999, August 1999 and September 1999,
respectively, completing the remaining 1997 Shelf Registration. RadioShack's
medium and long-term notes outstanding at December 31, 2000 under the 1997 Shelf
Registration totaled $300.0 million. The interest rates at December 31, 2000 for
the outstanding $150.0 million in medium-term notes ranged from 6.09% to 7.35%,
with a weighted average coupon rate of 6.6%. These medium-term notes have
varying maturities ranging from 2001 to 2008.
RadioShack's management believes that its present borrowing capacity is greater
than the established credit lines and long-term debt in place. It is anticipated
that RadioShack will review the medium to longer-term debt markets in calendar
2001. If these markets are available to the Company at favorable terms, it is
likely that longer maturity debt will be issued to repay short-term debt and to
adjust the mix of short-term versus long-term debt.
INFLATION
Inflation has not significantly impacted RadioShack over the past three years.
Management does not expect inflation to have a significant impact on operations
in the foreseeable future, unless global situations substantially affect the
world economy.
ITEM 7a. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
RadioShack does not have any derivative instruments that materially increase the
Company's exposure to market risks for interest rates, foreign currency rates,
commodity prices or other market price risks. RadioShack does not use
derivatives for speculative purposes.
The company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Interest
rate risk exists principally with respect to the Company's short-term
indebtedness that bears interest at floating rates. At December 31, 2000,
RadioShack had $461.3 million of indebtedness bearing interest at floating
rates. A hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100 basis points
in the interest rate applicable to floating-rate indebtedness at December 31,
2000 would have resulted in additional interest expense of $4.6 million assuming
no change in the principal or a reduction of such indebtedness.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements follow the

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
RadioShack Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index on page 24 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of RadioShack Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 of
America, 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 our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial
statements.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RadioShack Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
RadioShack Corporation ("RadioShack" or the "Company"), through its
approximately 7,200 company-owned and dealer/franchise retail outlets, is the
nation's largest consumer electronics chain. RadioShack's sales and operating
revenues primarily relate to private label and third party branded consumer
electronics, brand name personal computers, wireless communication products and
services, telephony and direct-to-home ("DTH") satellite systems sold through
its retail locations. Additionally, RadioShack operates certain related retail
support groups and consumer electronics manufacturing businesses.
On May 18, 2000, the Company's stockholders approved changing the name of the
Company from Tandy Corporation to RadioShack Corporation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of RadioShack and its majority owned subsidiaries. On August 31, 1998,
the Company completed the sale of 100% of the outstanding common stock of its
Computer City, Inc. ("Computer City") subsidiary to CompUSA Inc. ("CompUSA").
Computer City was included in the Consolidated Financial Statements through
August 31, 1998, the date of its sale. Investments in 20% to 50% owned companies
are accounted for on the equity method. Significant intercompany transactions
are eliminated in consolidation.
Pervasiveness 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 assets and
liabilities, related revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss
contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of substantially all
operations outside the U.S. is the respective local currency. Translation gains
or losses related to net assets located outside the United States are shown as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are classified in
the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash on hand in stores, deposits in banks and all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at
the time of purchase are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The weighted average
interest rates were 6.3% and 5.3% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,
for cash equivalents totaling $39.1 million and $31.2 million, respectively.
Equity Securities: Equity securities are marked to market based upon market
value fluctuations. The resulting adjustments, net of deferred taxes, are
reported as a component of stockholders' equity until realized. Declines in fair
market value that are considered to be other than temporary are recognized in
earnings and establish a new cost basis for the security. Realized gains and
losses are included in earnings and are determined on the specific
identification method.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts: An allowance for
doubtful accounts is provided when accounts are determined to be uncollectible.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to customer receivables are limited
due to the large number of customers comprising RadioShack's customer base and
their location in many different geographic areas of the country. However,
RadioShack does have some concentration of credit risk in the wireless telephone
and DTH satellite services industries due to increased sales and outstanding
balances as of December 31, 2000 from these service providers.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally based on
average cost) or market value and are comprised primarily of finished goods.
Other Assets: In April 2000, RadioShack made a $30.0 million investment in the
preferred stock of Digital:Convergence Corporation. This investment is included
in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31,
2000 and is recorded at cost, as the Company's ownership is less than 20% and
the fair value is not readily determinable.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are primarily
calculated using the straight-line method, which amortizes the cost of the
assets over their estimated useful lives. When depreciable assets are sold or
retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts. Any gains or losses are included in selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expense. Major additions and betterments are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs which do not materially improve or extend
the lives of the respective assets are charged to operating expenses as
incurred. Amortization of buildings under capital leases is included in
depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Capitalized Software Costs: The Company capitalizes qualifying costs related to
developing internal-use software. Capitalization of costs begins after the
conceptual formulation stage has been completed. Capitalized costs are amortized
over the estimated useful life of the software, which ranges between three and
five years. Capitalized software costs at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
totaled $39.6 million, $25.6 million, and $27.6 million, net of accumulated
amortization of $16.0 million, $8.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
Goodwill: Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the expected life of the underlying assets. Goodwill was $50.6 million and $52.9
million, net of accumulated amortization of $3.7 million and $1.4 million, at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Goodwill and amortization expense for
2000 related primarily to the Company's acquisition of AmeriLink Corporation
("AmeriLink") in July 1999. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of the
acquisition. This resulted in approximately $50.7 million of goodwill, which is
being amortized over 20 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets (primarily property, plant
and equipment and goodwill) held and used by RadioShack or to be disposed of are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and
before interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of
the asset. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the
related assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of financial instruments is
determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as
appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial
instruments approximate their recorded values due primarily to the short-term
nature of their maturities or their varying interest rate.
Revenue Recognition: The Company's revenue is derived primarily through the sale
of private label and third party branded products. Services and other operating
revenues are less than 10% of total revenue. Revenue is recognized when delivery
has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or
determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Residual income is
recorded as earned under the terms of each contractual arrangement with the
service provider, which is typically as the service provider bills its customer.
Additionally, RadioShack's retail operations offer extended service contracts on
products sold. These contracts generally provide extended service coverage for
periods of 12 to 60 months. RadioShack offers these contracts on behalf of an
unrelated third party, who is named as obligor on these contracts. RadioShack is
not named as an obligor on these contracts. In these circumstances, RadioShack's
share of commission revenue is recognized as income at the time of sale.
The Company adopted the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), in the fourth quarter
of 2000. The Company also adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19,
"Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent" in the fourth
quarter of 2000. The effect of the adoption of these standards was not material
to the Company's net sales and operating revenues and results of operations.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability
method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. In addition, RadioShack recognizes future tax benefits to the
extent that realization of such benefits are more likely than not.
Minority Interest: Minority interest in consolidated subsidiary represents the
minority shareholder's investment in RadioShack.com LLC ("RS.com"). RadioShack
owns 100% of the common units of RS.com, while Microsoft Corporation
("Microsoft") owns 100% of the preferred units. RadioShack is entitled to
receive 75% of the profits and losses of RS.com, while Microsoft will receive
25%; however, the preferred units have certain liquidation rights, which could
impact the allocation of profits and losses between the unit holders. The
preferred units are convertible into common units at any time and must be
converted in the event of certain capital transactions. In certain
circumstances, Microsoft has the option to require RadioShack to purchase its
units and RadioShack has the right to purchase Microsoft's units. Also, in the
event of liquidation, the preferred units have preferential rights to recover
their initial investment.
Common Stock Put Options: A common stock put option is a equity instrument
whereby RadioShack receives an upfront cash premium for granting another party
the option to sell a defined number of RadioShack shares to the Company at a
fixed price on a specified future date. The proceeds received upon the sale of
these instruments are recorded as a component of stockholders' equity.
Subsequent changes in the fair value of the equity instruments are not
recognized. At December 31, 1999, the full redemption value of the put options
was classified as common stock put options on the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet. At December 31, 2000, there were no common stock put options
outstanding.
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would have
occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised,
converted, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have then
shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table reconciles the
numerator and denominator used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations.

Options to purchase 0.9 million, 3.3 million and 3.4 million shares of common
stock in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per common share because the option exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common stock during the year.
Stock-Based Compensation: RadioShack has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), on a disclosure basis only. RadioShack
measures compensation costs under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and its related
interpretations.
Advertising Costs: All RadioShack advertising costs are expensed the first time
the advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $227.1 million, $199.9
million and $208.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period, except those
changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised solely of foreign currency translation
adjustments.
The following table summarizes the tax effects of other comprehensive income

Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the December 31, 1999 and 1998 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 2000
presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or
stockholders' equity as previously reported.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: The Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"), in June 1998, which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. RadioShack
uses derivatives only in limited circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS 133
effective January 1, 2001 and the impact was not material.
NOTE 3 - STOCK SPLIT
On May 25, 1999, RadioShack's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one split of
RadioShack common stock, payable on June 21, 1999. This resulted in the issuance
of 96.6 million shares of common stock along with a corresponding decrease of
$96.6 million in additional paid-in capital. Treasury shares were not split.
However, an adjustment was made to the Company's stockholders' equity section of
the balance sheet to split the cost of treasury stock (in effect a cancellation
of treasury shares by reducing paid-in capital and retained earnings). All
references to the number of shares (other than common stock issued or
outstanding on the 1998 Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity), per
share amounts, cash dividends, and any other reference to shares in the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements ("Notes"), unless otherwise noted, have been adjusted to
reflect the split on a retroactive basis. Previously awarded stock options,
restricted stock awards and all other agreements payable in RadioShack's common
stock have also been adjusted or amended to reflect the split.
NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, RadioShack had the following accounts and

The CompUSA note receivable originated on August 31, 1998, the date Computer
City was sold to CompUSA. The note bears interest at 9.48% per annum and is
payable over a ten year period. Interest is payable on June 30 and December 31
of each year. Beginning on December 31, 2001, principal payments will be due
semiannually until the note matures on June 30, 2008. RadioShack intends to hold
the subordinated note until maturity. The fair value of the note receivable at
December 31, 2000 was not materially different from its recorded value.
The Fry's notes receivable resulted from the 1997 sale of certain Incredible
Universe retail sites, related fixed assets and inventory to Fry's Electronics,
Inc. ("Fry's"). Six stores were sold to Fry's for approximately $21.5 million in
cash and $97.4 million in notes receivable. At December 31, 2000, the notes
receivable balance was $9.1 million with interest rates ranging from 6.57% to
6.70% and maturity dates in 2001 and 2002. RadioShack currently intends to hold
the notes until maturity.
Interest income earned, including accretion of discount if applicable, on the
amounts outstanding during the three years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998 was as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively.
NOTE 6 - INDEBTEDNESS AND BORROWING FACILITIES
RadioShack's short-term credit facilities, including revolving credit lines, are
summarized in the accompanying short-term borrowing facilities table below. The
method used to compute averages in the short-term borrowing facilities table is
based on a daily weighted average computation which takes into consideration the
time period such debt was outstanding, as well as the amount outstanding.
RadioShack's short-term debt primarily consists of short-term seasonal bank debt
and commercial paper. The commercial paper and the short-term seasonal bank debt
have a typical maturity of 90 days or less. The amount of commercial paper that
could be outstanding during 2000 was limited to a maximum of $600.0 million.
In the second quarter of 2000, RadioShack increased its $200.0 million 364-day
revolving credit facility to $300.0 million and also extended the maturity date
to June 2001. The terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility remain similar
to the previous facility. RadioShack also has a $300.0 million five-year
revolving credit facility maturing June 2003. The revolving credit facilities
are used as backup for the commercial paper program and may also be utilized for
general corporate purposes. Annual commitment fees for the facilities are 0.07%
of the $300.0 million 364-day facility and 0.085% of the $300.0 million
multiyear facility, whether used or unused.
RadioShack has a $300.0 million Debt Shelf Registration Statement ("Shelf
Registration") which became effective in August 1997. In August 1997, RadioShack
issued $150.0 million of 10 year unsecured notes under the Shelf Registration.
The interest rate on the notes is 6.95% per annum with interest payable on
September 1 and March 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 1998. The notes are
due September 1, 2007. In December 1997 and January 1998, RadioShack issued $4.0
million and $45.0 million, respectively, in medium-term notes under the
remaining $150.0 million Shelf Registration. An additional $32.0 million, $37.0
million and $32.0 million of medium-term notes were issued in January 1999,
August 1999 and September 1999, respectively, completing the remaining 1997
Shelf Registration. RadioShack's medium and long-term notes outstanding at
December 31, 2000 under the 1997 Shelf Registration totaled $300.0 million. The
interest rates at December 31, 2000 for the outstanding $150.0 million in
medium-term notes ranged from 6.09% to 7.35% with a weighted average coupon rate
of 6.6%. These medium-term notes have maturities ranging from 2001 to 2008.
RadioShack established an employee stock ownership trust in June 1990. Further
information on the trust and its related indebtedness, which is guaranteed by
the Company, is detailed in the discussion of the Tandy Fund in Note 16.
Borrowings payable within one year are summarized in the accompanying short-term

2000 or 1999.
NOTE 9 - TREASURY STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On December 14, 2000, RadioShack announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized management to purchase up to 10.0 million additional shares of its
common stock with a new share repurchase program, upon completion of its
existing 60.0 million share program in December 2000. The new program has no
expiration date. During 2000, 3.4 million shares were repurchased for $167.4
million under both programs, including 0.1 million shares for $6.6 million under
the new 10.0 million share program.
Additionally, on October 26, 1998, RadioShack announced that its Board of
Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 10.0 million shares of
RadioShack's common stock for an indefinite period of time to be used to offset
the dilution of grants under RadioShack's incentive stock plans (see Note 13).
Approximately 3.0 million shares were repurchased in 2000 for $144.4 million,
bringing the total share repurchases at December 31, 2000 under this program to
10.0 million shares totaling $398.9 million. No more shares may be repurchased
under this program.
The purchases under the share repurchase programs described above are in
addition to the shares required for employee stock purchase plans, which are
purchased throughout the year.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
RadioShack has various claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties,
investigations and pending actions involving allegations of negligence, product
defects, discrimination, infringement of intellectual property rights, tax
deficiencies, violations of permits or licenses and breach of contract, various
labor related claims and other matters against RadioShack and its subsidiaries
incident to the operation of its business. The liability, if any, associated
with these matters was not determinable at December 31, 2000. Although
occasional adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively impact
earnings in the year of settlement, it is the opinion of management that their
ultimate resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on RadioShack's
financial position or cash flows.
RadioShack leases rather than owns most of its facilities. The RadioShack stores
comprise the largest portion of the Company's leased facilities. The RadioShack
stores are located primarily in major shopping malls and shopping centers owned
by other companies. Some leases are based on a minimum rental plus a percentage
of the store's sales in excess of a stipulated base figure. RadioShack also
leases distribution centers and office space. In addition, RadioShack has
capital leases related to its computer and operating systems.
Future minimum rent commitments at December 31, 2000 for all long-term
noncancelable leases (net of immaterial amounts of sublease rent income) are
included in the following table.

NOTE 11 - SALE OF COMPUTER CITY, INC.
On August 31, 1998, RadioShack completed the sale of 100% of the outstanding
common stock of its Computer City subsidiary to CompUSA, in exchange for a
subordinated note for $136.0 million and cash of $36.5 million. RadioShack
recognized a loss of $108.2 million in 1998 from the sale of Computer City,
which included certain liabilities and contractual obligations incurred by
RadioShack. From January 1, 1998 through August 31, 1998, Computer City recorded
$1,196.7 million of net sales and operating revenues and $95.6 million in
operating losses, which are included in the accompanying 1998 Consolidated
Statement of Income.
NOTE 12 - 1996 BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING
In 1996 and 1997, the Company initiated certain restructuring programs in which
a number of McDuff, Computer City and Incredible Universe retail stores were
closed. The Company still has certain real estate obligations related to some of
these stores. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, this accrual
totaled $11.0 million, $14.5 million and $20.2 million. During 2000 and 1998,
additional provisions of $0.8 million and $6.5 million were recorded, while
costs of $4.3 million, $5.7 million and $14.9 million were charged to this
liability in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NOTE 13 - STOCK OPTIONS AND PERFORMANCE AWARDS
RadioShack has implemented several plans to award employees stock-based
compensation. Under the Incentive Stock Plans ("ISPs") described below, the
exercise price of options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value
on the date of grant. The 1993, 1997 and 1999 ISPs each terminate on the tenth
anniversary of the day which precedes its adoption date by the Board; no option
or award may be granted under the ISPs after the termination date. The
Organization and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") specifies the terms
for grants of options under these ISPs; terms of these options may not exceed 10
years. Grants of options generally vest over three years. Option agreements
issued under the ISPs generally provide that, in the event of a change in
control, all options become immediately and fully exercisable.
The 1993, 1997 and 1999 ISPs specify that each non-employee director of
RadioShack will receive a grant of nonstatutory stock options (options which are
not incentive stock options) ("NSOs") for 16,000 shares of RadioShack common
stock on the first business day of September of each year ("Director Options").
However, Director Option grants are not made under more than one ISP in the same
year. New directors upon election or appointment will receive a one-time grant
of 20,000 shares at the time they attend their first Board meeting. Director
Options under the 1993 and 1997 ISPs have an exercise price of 100% of the fair
market value of RadioShack common stock on the trading day prior to the date of
grant. Director Options under the 1999 ISP have an exercise price of 100% of the
fair market value of a share of RadioShack common stock on the date of grant. If
a grant is made under the 1999 ISP on a non-trading date, the closest previous
trading date is used. Under the three ISPs, one-third of the Director Options
shares vest annually on each of the first three anniversary dates of the date of
grant and shares expire 10 years after the date of grant.
A brief description of each Company stock plan follows:
1985 Stock Option Plan ("1985 SOP") - Under the 1985 SOP, as amended,
options to acquire up to 8.0 million shares of RadioShack's common stock
were authorized to be granted to officers and key management employees
of RadioShack. The 1985 SOP terminated in 1995 and no further grants may be
made under this plan.
1993 Incentive Stock Plan ("1993 ISP") - The 1993 ISP permits the grant of
up to 12.0 million shares in the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs"),
NSOs, restricted stock, performance units or performance shares. There were
687,382 shares available on December 31, 2000 for grants under the 1993 ISP.
1994 Stock Incentive Plan ("1994 SIP") - On July 30, 1999, RadioShack
acquired AmeriLink Corporation, which provides services to the Company as
RadioShack Installation Services ("RSIS"). As part of the purchase of
AmeriLink, the Company agreed to assume the existing AmeriLink Corporation
1994 Stock Incentive Plan and certain related agreements and to convert
AmeriLink's stock options to RadioShack stock options, subject to an agreed
upon exchange ratio and conversion price. Thus, the AmeriLink 1994 SIP was
assumed and adopted by the Company in 1999. All shares in the 1994 SIP were
fully vested on the date of transition and no further grants may be made
under this plan. There were certain restricted stock agreements that were
also assumed by RadioShack at the time of acquisition.
1997 Incentive Stock Plan ("1997 ISP") - The 1997 ISP permits the grant of
up to 11.0 million shares in the form of ISOs, NSOs, restricted stock,
performance units or performance shares. The 1997 ISP provides that the
maximum number of shares of RadioShack common stock that an eligible
employee may receive in any calendar year in respect to options and
performance awards may not exceed 1.0 million shares. The maximum dollar
amount of cash or the fair market value of shares of RadioShack stock that
an eligible employee may receive in any calendar year in respect of
performance units may not exceed $1.5 million. There were 2,565,529 shares
available on December 31, 2000 for grants under the 1997 ISP.
1999 Incentive Stock Plan ("1999 ISP") - In February 1999, the Board of
Directors authorized the adoption of the 1999 ISP. The 1999 ISP permits the
grant of up to 9.5 million shares in the form of NSOs to broad based
employee groups, primarily RadioShack's 5,000 plus store managers and to
other eligible employees and non-employee directors. Grants of restricted
stock, performance awards and options intended to qualify as incentive stock
options under the Internal Revenue Code are not authorized under the 1999
ISP. In addition, repricing of outstanding options is not permitted under
the 1999 ISP. The 1999 ISP provides that the maximum number of shares of
RadioShack common stock that an eligible employee may receive in any
calendar year in respect to options may not exceed 1.0 million shares. There
were 4,148,557 shares available on December 31, 2000 for grants under the
1999 ISP.

Restricted Stock: The Company may also use restricted stock grants to compensate
certain employees of the Company. As of December 31, 2000, 101,710 shares of
restricted stock were outstanding, but not fully vested. Compensation expense
related to restricted shares is recognized over the related service period. This
expense totaled $1.2 million, $12.6 million and $83.2 million for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Store Manager Restricted Stock Grants - On February 1, 1997, in an effort to
reduce the turnover rate among its store managers and to align the store
managers' interests and goals with those of the shareholders, RadioShack
granted approximately 4,082,400 restricted stock awards consisting of 800
shares each to 4,907 RadioShack store managers and 1,600 shares each to 98
Computer City store managers. The February 1997 restricted stock awards had
a weighted average fair market value of $11.30 per share when granted. This
restricted stock was to vest at the end of five years on February 2, 2002,
if managers receiving the grants were employed by RadioShack at a store
manager or higher position, at that time. However, the grants provided that
the restricted shares would vest early if RadioShack's common stock closed
at $16.90625 or more for any 20 consecutive trading days beginning February
1, 1999. At December 31, 1998, it was probable that the 2,579,200 shares
that remained outstanding under this grant would vest under the early
vesting provisions and, as a result, a charge to compensation expense of
$82.6 million, including related payroll taxes, was recorded in the December
31, 1998 financial statements.
On February 1, 1998, RadioShack granted approximately 649,500 restricted
stock awards consisting of 500 shares each to 1,299 RadioShack store
managers not included in the February 1, 1997 grant described above. The
February 1998 restricted stock awards had a weighted average fair market
value of $19.61 per share when granted. This restricted stock grant was to
vest at the end of five years on February 2, 2003, if managers receiving the
grants were employed by RadioShack at a store manager or higher position, at
that time. However, the grants provided that the restricted shares would
vest early if the RadioShack common stock closed at $29.0625 or more for any
20 consecutive trading days beginning February 1, 2000. At December 31,
1999, it was probable that the 348,000 restricted stock awards that remained
outstanding under this grant would vest under early vesting provisions. The
resulting charge to compensation expense of $14.7 million, including related
payroll taxes, was recorded in the December 31, 1999 financial statements.
Other Grants - In 1997, the Committee granted a total of 56,000 shares of
restricted stock awards to three executive officers. These awards vested
ratably over 3 years and were fully vested in 2000. In 1998, the Committee
granted a total of 172,000 shares of restricted stock awards to three
executive officers. Of these awards, 100,000 shares vest ratably over 3
years and will fully vest in 2001. The remaining 72,000 shares awarded to
one officer were to vest on October 23, 2005; however, shares in blocks of
24,000 would vest earlier if RadioShack's common stock price exceeded
certain levels for 15 consecutive trading days. All 72,000 of these shares
vested in 1999. In 1999, the Committee granted 10,000 shares of restricted
stock awards to two executive officers. These awards vest ratably over 3
years; 4,000 of these awards were cancelled in 2000. In 2000, the Committee
granted a total of 66,712 shares of restricted stock awards to 38 executive
officers and these awards vest ratably over 3 years, subject to the
achievement of certain performance targets each year.
Pro Forma Information: Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings
per share as required by FAS 123 has been determined as if RadioShack had
accounted for its employee stock options and restricted stock awards under the
fair value method of that statement. The fair value of each option or restricted
stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for stock option
grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were, respectively: expected dividend yields of
1.6%, 1.7% and 1.6%; expected volatilities of 37.1%, 30.9% and 24.3%; risk free
interest rates of 6.5%, 5.5% and 4.5% and expected lives of six years. The
weighted average assumptions used for restricted stock grants in 1998 and 1997
were: expected dividend yields of 1.6% and 1.7%; expected volatilities of 24.8%
and 25.9%; risk free interest rates of 5.4% and 6.3% and expected lives of five
years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
and restricted stock awards is amortized to expense over the vesting period.

NOTE 14 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
In September 1997, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved
the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Executive Deferred Stock Plan
("Compensation Plans"), which became effective on April 1, 1998. These plans
permit employees who are corporate or division officers to defer up to 80% of
their base salary and/or bonuses. Certain executive officers may defer up to
100% of their base salary and/or bonuses. In addition, officers are permitted to
defer any restricted stock or NSO gains that would otherwise vest. Cash
deferrals may be made in RadioShack common stock or mutual funds; however,
restricted stock and NSO gains may only be made in RadioShack common stock. The
Company matches 12% of salary and bonus deferrals in the form of RadioShack
common stock. RadioShack will match an additional 25% of salary and bonus
deferrals if the deferral period exceeds five years and the deferrals are
invested in RadioShack common stock. Payment of deferrals will be made in cash
and RadioShack common stock in accordance with the employee's specifications at
the time of the deferral; payments may be received in a lump sum or in annual
installments not to exceed 20 years.
Contributions from the Company to the Compensation Plans for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 totaled $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.6
million, respectively.
NOTE 15 - COMPANY STOCK PLAN
Eligible employees may contribute 1% to 7% of annual compensation to purchase
RadioShack common stock at the monthly average daily closing price. RadioShack
matches 40%, 60% or 80% of the employee's contribution, depending on the length
of the employee's continuous participation in the Stock Plan. The Company match
is also for the purchase of RadioShack common stock. RadioShack's contributions
to the Stock Plan were $16.7 million, $15.6 million and $14.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NOTE 16 - TANDY FUND
The Tandy Fund ("Plan") is a defined contribution plan. Eligible employees may
direct their contributions into various investment options, including investing
in RadioShack common stock. Participants may defer, via payroll deductions, 1%
to 8% of annual compensation. Contributions per participant are limited to
certain annual maximums permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Company
contributions are made directly to the Plan through the Tandy Employees Stock
Ownership Plan ("TESOP") portion of the Plan. The TESOP is a leveraged employee
stock ownership plan. Participants become fully vested in Company contributions
upon the earlier to occur of five years of service with RadioShack or three
years of participation in the Plan.
TESOP Portion of the Plan: On July 31, 1990, the trustee of the Plan borrowed
$100.0 million at an interest rate of 9.34%, which was paid off on June 30, 2000
("TESOP Notes"). The Plan trustee used the proceeds from the issuance of the
TESOP Notes to purchase 100,000 shares of TESOP Preferred Stock from the Company
at a price of $1,000 per share. In December 1994, the Plan entered into an
agreement with an unrelated third party to refinance up to $16.7 million of the
TESOP Notes in a series of six annual notes, beginning December 30, 1994. As of
December 31, 1999, the Plan had borrowed all of the $16.7 million (the
"Refinanced Notes") in a series of six notes at interest rates ranging from
5.84% to 8.76% to refinance the TESOP Notes. As of December 31, 2000, RadioShack
had repaid the first refinanced note totaling $5.1 million. The maturity dates
of the remaining five notes range from December 2001 to December 2002. Dividend
payments and contributions received by the Plan from RadioShack will be used to
repay the indebtedness.
Each share of TESOP Preferred Stock is convertible into 87.072 shares of
RadioShack common stock. The annual cumulative dividend on TESOP Preferred Stock
is $75.00 per share, payable semiannually. Because the Company has guaranteed
the repayment of the TESOP Notes and the Refinanced Notes, the indebtedness of
the Plan is recognized as a long-term obligation in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets. An offsetting charge has been made in the
stockholders' equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets to
reflect unearned deferred compensation related to the Plan.
Compensation and interest expenses related to the Plan before the reduction for
the allocation of dividends are presented below for each year ended December 31:
(In millions) 2000 1999 1998
- ------------ -------- -------- --------
Compensation expense $ 7.8 $ 8.7 $ 10.2
Interest expense 1.4 2.3 3.4
Until both the TESOP Notes and Refinanced Notes have been paid in full, the
TESOP Preferred Stock will be allocated to the participants annually, based on
the total debt service made on the indebtedness. As shares of the TESOP
Preferred Stock are allocated to Plan participants, compensation expense is
recorded and unearned deferred compensation is reduced. Interest expense on the
TESOP Notes and Refinanced Notes is also recognized as a cost of the Plan. The
compensation component of the Plan expense is reduced by the amount of dividends
accrued on the TESOP Preferred Stock, with any dividends in excess of the
compensation expense reflected as a reduction of interest expense.
Contributions by RadioShack to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 totaled $10.9 million, $12.0 million and $14.7 million,
respectively, including dividends paid on the TESOP Preferred Stock of $5.3
million, $5.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2000, 91,259 of the original 100,000 shares of TESOP
Preferred Stock had been released to participants' accounts in the Plan,
including 31,181 shares of the TESOP Preferred Stock previously withdrawn by
participants. The remaining 8,741 shares of TESOP Preferred Stock are available
for later release and allocation to participants' accounts over the remaining
life of the TESOP Notes and Refinanced Notes. The appraised value of these
remaining shares was $32.9 million at December 31, 2000. The TESOP Preferred
Stock has certain liquidation preferences and may be redeemed after July 1,
1994, at specified premiums. As of March 31, 2000, 83,686 of the 91,259 released
TESOP Preferred Stock shares had been allocated to participants' Plan accounts.
The remaining released 7,573 shares are to be allocated to participants'
accounts on March 31, 2001, the Plan's annual allocation date.
NOTE 17 - PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
In August 1986, the Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan and
declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of RadioShack common
stock. This plan was amended and restated on July 24, 1999. The rights plan, as
amended and restated, will expire on July 26, 2009. The rights are currently
represented by the common stock certificates. When the rights become
exercisable, they will entitle each holder to purchase 1/10,000th of a share of
RadioShack Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for an exercise price
of $250 (subject to adjustment). The rights will become exercisable and will
trade separately from the common stock only upon the date of public announcement
that a person, entity or group ("Person") has acquired 15% or more of
RadioShack's outstanding common stock without the consent or approval of the
disinterested directors ("Acquiring Person") or ten days after the commencement
or public announcement of a tender or exchange offer which would result in any
Person becoming an Acquiring Person. In the event that any Person becomes an
Acquiring Person, the rights will be exercisable for 60 days thereafter for
RadioShack common stock with a market value (as determined under the rights
plan) equal to twice the exercise price. In the event that, after any Person
becomes an Acquiring Person, RadioShack engages in certain mergers,
consolidations, or sales of assets representing 50% or more of its assets or
earning power with an Acquiring Person (or Persons acting on behalf of or in
concert with an Acquiring Person) or in which all holders of common stock are
not treated alike, the rights will be exercisable for common stock of the
acquiring or surviving company with a market value (as determined under the
rights plan) equal to twice the exercise price. The rights will not be
exercisable by any Acquiring Person. The rights are redeemable at a price of
$0.01 per right prior to any Person becoming an Acquiring Person or, under
certain circumstances, after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person.
NOTE 18 - TERMINATION PROTECTION PLANS
In August 1990 and in May 1995, RadioShack's Board of Directors approved
termination protection plans and amendments to the termination protection plans,
respectively. These plans provide for defined termination benefits to be paid to
eligible employees of RadioShack who have been terminated, without cause,
following a change in control of the Company (as defined). In addition, for a
certain period of time following employee termination, RadioShack, at its
expense, must continue to provide on behalf of the terminated employee certain
employment benefits. In general, during the twelve months following a change in
control, RadioShack may not terminate or change existing employee benefit plans
in any way, which would affect accrued benefits or decrease the rate of the
RadioShack's contribution to the plans.
NOTE 19 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

NOTE 20 - RELATIONS WITH INTERTAN
InterTAN, Inc. ("InterTAN"), the former foreign retail operations of RadioShack,
was spun off to RadioShack stockholders as a tax-free dividend in fiscal 1987.
Under the terms of a merchandise agreement reached with InterTAN in October
1993, as amended, InterTAN may purchase, on payment terms, certain products sold
or secured by the Company. RadioShack International Procurement Limited
Partnership ("RSIP"), which is 100% owned by RadioShack and its subsidiaries, is
and will continue to be the exclusive purchasing agent for products originating
in Asia for InterTAN. RSIP receives commission income for this service. License
agreements, as amended, also provide a royalty payable to RadioShack. The table

subject to seasonal fluctuations with the December 31 quarter being the most
significant in terms of sales and profits because of the Christmas selling
season.
RadioShack recorded a provision of $14.7 million related to restricted stock
awards for RadioShack store managers (see Note 13) in the fourth quarter of

at the sole discretion of the Company and in such amount as the Company
might decide. If you retire at age 55 or over, provided the Company has
given its consent to your early retirement, or die before the end of the
then current fiscal year, your bonus will be calculated using actual
results to the nearest end of the month preceding or succeeding such
event, which will then be adjusted using the latest budget to include
the remaining months of the year. Example: Retirement date is August
10. Bonus calculations would include actual results thru July 31 and
the latest budgeted numbers from August thru December. The bonus
calculated, which will be an annual bonus, will then be prorated for the
partial year worked i.e. 7/12 times annual bonus calculated in this
example. The Stock Price percentage will be calculated using only
actual results to the nearest end of the month for this year and last
year. The amount will be paid to you or the legal representative of
your estate.
VI. If at any time during your continued employment, your responsibility,
duties or title changes, this plan is subject to revision or termination
by the Company at the time of the foregoing change. A partial year
bonus will be calculated using the methodology set forth in paragraph V.
