NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1:
The balance sheets of Nordstrom Credit, Inc. as of April 30, 1995 and 1994,
and the related statements of earnings and cash flows for the periods then
ended, have been prepared from the accounts without audit.
The financial information is applicable to interim periods and is not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
January 31, 1996.
It is not considered necessary to include detailed footnote information as
of April 30, 1995 and 1994. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Notes to Financial Statements contained in the
Nordstrom Credit, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 31, 1995.
In the opinion of management, the financial information includes all
adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position of Nordstrom Credit, Inc. as of
April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the periods then ended, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Service charge income and Service fees paid to Nordstrom National Credit
Bank (the "Bank") increased when compared to the same period in 1994 due to
additional outstanding receivables generated by the Bank's new VISA card
which was introduced in May, 1994.
Interest expense increased when compared to the same period in 1994 due
primarily to higher levels of debt outstanding during the quarter.
