Stock issued on June 28, 1996 for the conversion of the Preferred
Stock has been included in the weighted average number of shares
outstanding subsequent to that date.
As a result of the June 28, 1996 Preferred Stock conversion and as

earnings per share has been presented for the periods shown based upon
an "as if the 1,422 shares issued in the conversion were outstanding
from the beginning of the period" basis.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and
six month periods ended August 3, 1996 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 1,
1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 3, 1996.
The balance sheet at February 3, 1996 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date.
NOTE B -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Proffitt's, Inc. combined its business with Younkers, Inc., a
publicly-owned retail department store chain currently operating 48
stores in the midwest, effective February 3, 1996, immediately before
the Company's fiscal year end. Each outstanding share of Younkers,
Inc. Common Stock was converted into ninety eight one-hundredths
(.98) shares of Proffitt's, Inc. Common Stock, with approximately 8.8
million shares issued in the transaction. This combination was
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements have been restated for all periods
to include the results of operations and financial position of
Younkers.
Younkers' financial statements have been restated to conform to
Proffitt's accounting methods and also reflect certain
reclassifications without any material impact on previously reported
income or shareholders' equity.
In conjunction with the business combination with Younkers, the
Company incurred certain fourth quarter 1995 charges to effect the
merger and other costs to restructure and integrate the combined
operating companies. Total accrued unpaid restructuring liabilities at
February 3, 1996 consisted of merger transaction costs of
approximately $7.1 million, severance and related benefits of
approximately $3.2 million and other costs approximately $2.1 million.
During the six months ended August 3, 1996, the Company paid approximately
$2.4 million in merger transaction costs, approximately $2.8 million in
severance benefits and approximately $1.2 million in other expenses,
respectively, against restructuring liabilities established for such expenses
at February 3, 1996.
During the quarter the Company incurred and paid certain additional
restructuring charges including approximately $0.9 million related to
the conversion and consolidation of management information systems and
other consolidation related travel expenses and approximately $0.6
million in professional fees, employee training expenses and other
less significant consolidation related expenses.
For the six month period ended August 3, 1996, aggregate additional
restructuring charges included approximately $1.8 million to terminate
the Younkers pension plan, approximately $1.5 million related to the
conversion and consolidation of management information systems and
other consolidation related travel expenses and approximately $1.0
million in professional fees, employee training expenses and other
less significant consolidation related expenses. The Company has not
changes its estimates for remaining accrued but unpaid restructuring
charges.
On April 12, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the Parks-Belk
Company, a family-owned department store company with four
stores. Three stores were renovated and opened as Proffitt's Division
stores during 1995; one store was permanently closed. The operations
of Parks-Belk have been included in the results of operations of the
Company subsequent to the purchase date.
NOTE C -- GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS
In March 1996, the Company sold two Younkers stores to a third party,
realizing a pre-tax gain on the transaction of $2.3 million.
NOTE D -- PENDING BUSINESS COMBINATION
On July 8, 1996, the Company announced its planned merger with
Parisian, Inc. ("Parisian"), a 38 unit specialty department store
chain headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. Parisian will operate as
a separate division of Proffitt's, Inc.
Under the terms of the transaction, the Company will pay Parisian's
shareholders approximately $110 million in cash and issue
approximately 2.9 million shares of Proffitt's, Inc. Common Stock.
Outstanding options to purchase shares of Parisian Common Stock will
be converted into options to purchase approximately 406,000 shares of
Proffitt's, Inc. Common Stock. In addition, the Company will assume
approximately $243 million of Parisian indebtedness (which included
$84 million of off-balance sheet receivables financing as of the July
2, 1996 pre-announcement date).
The merger is expected to close in October 1996. The transaction will
be accounted for as a purchase.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and senior debt
balances fluctuate throughout the year due to the seasonal nature of
the retail industry.
The August 3, 1996 net trade accounts receivable balance declined from
the July 29, 1995 balance due to the sale of additional receivables to
third parties.
August 3, 1996 senior debt declined from the February 3, 1996 and July
29, 1995 balances due to the sale of additional accounts receivables
to third parties and utilization of excess cash balances to reduce the
balance of the Company's revolving credit facility.
On June 28, 1996, the Company completed the early conversion of its
600,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, held by Apollo Specialty
Retail Partners, L.P. ("Apollo"), into 1,421,801 shares of Proffitt's,
Inc. Common Stock. The conversion eliminates $1.95 million in future
annual dividend payments by the Company to Apollo.
On July 8, 1996, the company announced its planned merger with
Parisian, which is expected to close in October 1996.
Under the terms of the transaction, the Company will pay Parisian's
shareholders approximately $110 million in cash and issue
approximately 2.9 million shares of Proffitt's, Inc. Common Stock.
Outstanding options to purchase shares of Parisian common Stock will
be converted into options to purchase approximately 406,000 shares of
Proffitt's, Inc. Common Stock. In addition, the Company will assume
approximately $243 million of Parisian indebtedness (which included
$84 million of off-balance sheet receivables financing as of the July
2, 1996 pre-announcement date).
In conjunction with the pending transaction with Parisian, the Company
is in the process of revising its existing revolving credit facility
with banks. Management expects availability under the line will be
extended from $125 million to $275 million in order to fund the cash
portion of the purchase price and provide for future working capital
requirements.
Results of operations
Income statement information for the quarter and six months ended July
29, 1995 has been restated to reflect the February 3, 1996 Younkers
merger, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
operations of Parks-Belk have been included in the income statements
subsequent to the April 12, 1995 purchase date.
The following table shows, for the periods indicated, certain items
from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income
expressed as percentages of net sales.

For the quarter, total Company sales were $271.7 million, a 3%
decrease over $278.8 million in the prior year. On a comparable stores
basis, total company sales increased 1% for the quarter. Revenues for
the Younkers Division were $123.8 million, down 5% from $130.1 million
last year; revenues for the McRae's Division totaled $92.8 million, a
3% increase over $90.6 million in the prior year; and revenues for the
Proffitt's Division were $55.1 million compared to $58.1 million last
year, a 5% decrease. For the quarter, comparable store sales were
flat with last year for the Younkers Division, up 1% for the McRae's
Division, and up 4% for the Proffitt's Division.
For the six months ended August 3, 1996, total Company sales were
$568.3 million compared to $565.9 million last year. On a comparable
stores basis, total Company sales increased 4% for the six months.
Revenues for the Younkers Division were $250.4 million, down 3% from
$256.8 million in the prior year; revenues for the McRae's Division
totaled $202.3 million, a 4% increase over $194.4 million last year;
and revenues for the Proffitt's Division were $115.7 million, a 1%
increase over $114.8 million last year. For the six months,
comparable store sales increased 2%, 3%, and 10% for the Younkers,
McRae's, and Proffitt's Divisions, respectively.
The total store sales performance for the periods indicated was lower
than the comparable stores sales increase primarily due to the closing
of two Younkers stores and one Proffitt's store in January 1996 and
the sale of two Younkers stores in March 1996.
The conversion of the Younkers shoe operation from leased to owned was
completed on August 3, 1996. Sales performance was negatively
affected during the transition period for the first six months of
1996. Excluding Younkers' leased shoe sales, comparable store sales
for the Younkers Division increased 2% and 3% for the quarter and six
months, respectively. For the total Company, comparable store sales
increased 2% and 4% for the quarter and six months, respectively,
excluding Younkers' leased shoe sales.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses declined in both dollars
and as a percentage of net sales for the quarter and six months. As a
percentage of net sales, these expenses totaled 25.7% for the quarter
compared to 25.8% last year and 24.9% for the six months compared to
25.2% in the prior year. The initial stages of previously targeted
cost reductions (such as the elimination of duplicate corporate
expenses and consolidation of certain back office functions) led to
this increased leverage on expenses.
Other operating expenses, which consist of rents, depreciation, and
taxes other than income taxes, declined in dollars for the quarter and
in both dollars and as a percentage of net sales for the six months.
This reduction was primarily due to reduced expenses related to stores
recently sold and closed and lower depreciation due to the reduced
carrying value of certain property as a result of a 1995 impairment
write-down.
Finance charge income increased in dollars and as a percentage of net
sales for both the quarter and six months primarily due to increased
finance charge rates assessed in certain states and implementation of
certain late fee penalties on past due balances.
Total financing costs, which include interest expense and finance
charge income allocated to the third party purchasers of accounts
receivable, dropped in dollars and as a percentage of net sales for
the quarter and six months ended August 3, 1996. The reduction was
due to lower financing levels in the current year.
Prior to the non-recurring items outlined below, second quarter net
income totaled $4.4 million, or $.21 per share, a 32% increase over
$3.4 million, or $.15 per share last year, and net income for the six
months totaled $11.0 million, or $.51 per share, compared to $7.3
million, or $.33 per share last year.
In conjunction with the Younkers merger, certain non-recurring merger,
restructuring, and integration charges were incurred for the quarter
and six months ended August 3, 1996. For the quarter, these charges
totaled $1.5 million before tax, or 0.6% of net sales ($.9 million
after tax, or $.04 per share). For the six months, these charges
totaled $4.3 million before tax, or 0.8% of net sales ($2.6 million
after tax, or $.12 per share). These charges were primarily related
to items such as the termination of a Younkers pension plan, the
conversion of Younkers' computer systems, and expenses of
consolidating administrative functions. In March 1996, the Company
sold two Younkers stores to a third party, realizing a pre-tax gain of
$2.3 million ($1.4 million after tax, or $.06 per share, for the six
months). For the quarter and six months ended July 29, 1995, the
Company incurred pre-tax expenses of $1.5 million, or 0.6% of net
sales, and $1.9 million, or 0.3% of net sales, respectively, related
to the defense of the attempted hostile takeover of Younkers by Carson
Pirie Scott & Co. On an after-tax basis, these charges totaled $.9
million, or $.04 per share, and $1.1 million, or $.06 per share, for
the quarter and six months, respectively.
After these non-recurring items, net income for the quarter and six
months ended August 3, 1996 totaled $3.5 million, or $.16 per share,
and $9.8 million, or $.46 per share, respectively. The increase in
earnings over the prior year primarily was due to solid gross margin
performance, expense control, and increased finance charge income.
Earnings per share figures above assume full dilution.
In conjunction with the business combination with Younkers, the
Company incurred certain fourth quarter 1995 charges to effect the
merger and other costs to restructure and integrate the combined
operating companies. Total accrued unpaid restructuring liabilities at
February 3, 1996 consisted of merger transaction costs of
approximately $7.1 million, severance and related benefits of
approximately $3.2 million and other costs approximately $2.1 milion.
During the six months ended August 3, 1996, the Company paid
approximately $2.4 million in merger transaction costs, approximately
$2.8 million in severance benefits and approximately $1.2 million
in other expenses, respectively, against restructuring liabilities
established for such expenses at February 3, 1996.
During the quarter the Company incurred and paid certain additional
restructuring charges including approximately $0.9 million related to
the conversion and consolidation of management information systems and
other consolidated related travel expenses and approximately $0.6
million in professional fees, employee training expenses and other
less significant consolidation related expenses.
For the six month period ended August 3, 1996, aggregate additional
restructuring charges included approximately $1.8 million to terminate
the Younkers pension plan, approximately $1.5 million related to the
conversion and consolidation of management information systems and
other consolidation related travel expenses and approximately $1.0
million in professional fees, employee training expenses and other
less significant consolidation related expenses. The Company has not
changed its estimates for remaining accrued but unpaid restructuring
charges.
