NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -- 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 1, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending January 30, 1999. The financial statements
include the accounts of Proffitt's, Inc. and its subsidiaries,
including its special purpose receivables financing subsidiaries.
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 January 31, 1998.
The accompanying balance sheet at January 31, 1998 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date.
NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Effective January 31, 1998, immediately before the Company's prior
fiscal year end, Proffitt's combined its business with Carson Pirie
Scott & Co. ("Carson's"), a retail department store chain currently
operating 55 stores in the Midwest. The merger has been accounted
for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated for the prior year to
include the results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows of Carson's. Prior to the merger with Proffitt's, Carson's
financed its trade accounts receivables with a $200 million
receivables facility. In connection with the merger, the Carson's
receivables facility was terminated and the $125 million
outstanding balance was repaid in February 1998 with the proceeds
from the sale of Carson's receivables under the Company's existing
receivables securitization agreements.
On March 6, 1998, the Company acquired Brody Brothers Dry Goods
Company, Inc. ("Brody's"), which operated six department stores in
North Carolina. Consideration was paid in cash and was immaterial
to Proffitt's, Inc. Four of the Brody's locations were converted
into Proffitt's stores, and two stores were permanently closed.
For the three and six months ended August 1, 1998 and August 2,
1997, the Company incurred certain integration costs related to its
business combinations with Younkers (completed February 3, 1996),
Parisian (completed October 11, 1996), Herberger's (completed
February 1, 1997), Carson's, and Brody's. These pre-tax charges
totaled $4.0 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended
August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997, respectively, and $6.0 million
and $3.1 million for the six months ended August 1, 1998 and August
2, 1997, respectively.
A reconciliation of the aforementioned charges to the amounts of
merger, restructuring, and integration costs remaining unpaid at
August 1, 1998 is as follows (in thousands):
Amounts unpaid at January 31, 1998 $ 25,094
Adjustments to amounts unpaid at January 31, 1998 0
Amounts related to continuing integration
efforts for the six months ended August 1, 1998 5,951
Amounts paid during the six months ended
August 1, 1998 (21,275)
---------
Amounts unpaid at August 1, 1998 $ 9,770
NOTE 3 PENDING TRANSACTIONS
In July 1998, the Boards of Directors of Proffitt's and Saks
Holdings, Inc. ("Saks"), the holding company for Saks Fifth Avenue,
unanimously approved the merger of the two companies. Under the
terms of the transaction, shareholders of Saks will receive .82 of
a share of Proffitt's, Inc. common stock for each share of Saks
Holdings, Inc. common stock. Proffitt's will issue approximately
52.5 million shares of common stock in the transaction. The
combination has been structured as a tax-free transaction and will
be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The shareholders of
both companies are scheduled to vote on the transaction on
September 16, 1998, and the effective date of the merger is
expected to be September 17. Upon completion of the merger, Saks
Fifth Avenue will become a subsidiary of Proffitt's, Inc., and the
corporate name of Proffitt's, Inc. will be changed to Saks
Incorporated.
In August 1998, the Company announced it had entered into an
agreement, subject to certain conditions, to acquire from
Dillard's, Inc. the real and personal property of 15 store
locations, along with certain inventory and accounts receivable.
The transaction is expected to be valued at $450 million to $550
million and is scheduled to close by the end of the third fiscal
quarter of 1998.
NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

NOTE 5 -- CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in several legal proceedings arising from
its normal course of business activities, and reserves have been
established where appropriate. Management believes that none of
these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations,
or liquidity.
NOTE 6 -- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
SFAS No. 133 is effective for the Company in the third fiscal
quarter of 1999, and the Company is in the process of ascertaining
the impact that this new standard will have on its financial
statements.
NOTE 7 -- CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables present condensed consolidating financial
information for: 1) Proffitt's, Inc.; 2) on a combined basis, the
guarantors of Proffitt's, Inc.'s Senior Notes (which are all of the
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Proffitt's, Inc., except for
Proffitt's Credit Corporation ("PCC"), Younkers Credit Corporation
("YCC"), and the National Bank of the Great Lakes ("NBGL")); and 3)
on a combined basis, PCC, YCC, and NBGL, the only non-guarantor
subsidiaries of the Senior Notes. Separate financial statements of
the guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because the guarantors
are jointly, severally, and unconditionally liable under the
guarantees, and the Company believes the condensed consolidating
financial statements are more meaningful in understanding the
financial position of the guarantor subsidiaries. Proffitt's, Inc.
is comprised of substantially all of the Proffitt's and Younkers
store operating divisions and certain corporate management and
financing functions. Borrowings and the related interest expense
under Proffitt's, Inc. revolving credit facility are allocated to
Proffitt's, Inc. and the guaranty subsidiaries under an informal
lending arrangement. There are also management and royalty fee
arrangements among Proffitt's, Inc. and the subsidiaries.

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 1, 1998 trade accounts receivable balance decreased from
the January 31, 1998 and August 2, 1997 balances due to selling a
higher percentage of the Company's receivables through its
securitization programs (primarily related to Carson's receivables
which were not previously securitized). The proceeds of these
additional sales of receivables were used to reduce senior debt
balances.
August 1, 1998 merchandise inventory and property and equipment
balances increased over January 31, 1998 and August 2, 1997
balances primarily due to four new store locations opened (net of
closings) during 1997, the acquisition of the Brody's stores in
March 1998, and the intensification of inventories at certain
stores, particularly at certain Parisian and Herberger's stores.
August 1, 1998 subordinated debt decreased from the balance at
August 2, 1997 due to the conversion of approximately $86 million
of subordinated debentures into Common Stock and the retirement of
approximately $128 million of additional debentures.
August 1, 1998 equity increased over the balances at January 31,
1998 and August 2, 1997 primarily due to net earnings and the
previously mentioned conversion of subordinated debentures into
common stock.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Prior year income statement information below has been restated to
reflect the January 31, 1998 merger with Carson's, which was

For the second quarter ended August 1, 1998, total Company sales
were $777.1 million, a 6% increase over $736.1 million in the prior
year. For the six months ended August 1, 1998, total Company sales
were $1.61 billion, a 6% increase over $1.52 billion in the prior
year. The sales increases for the second quarter and six months
were primarily attributable to a comparable store sales growth of
4% for both periods, additional sales from new stores opened, and
sales from the Brody's stores acquired in March 1998.
For both the second quarter and the six months ended August 1,
1998, gross margin percentage increased 40 basis points over the
prior year. This increase was achieved through improved execution
of merchandising strategies, the realization of benefits related to
increased purchasing scale, and shifts in the merchandise mix of
select stores.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses declined as a
percentage of net sales for the second quarter and the six months
ended August 1, 1998 by 50 and 40 basis points, respectively. This
expense leverage primarily resulted from targeted cost reductions
related to each of the Company's completed business combinations
and certain productivity efficiencies.
Other operating expenses, which consist of rents, depreciation, and
taxes other than income taxes, increased by 50 and 10 basis points
for the second quarter and six months ended August 1, 1998,
respectively, over last year. These increases were largely
attributable to the effect of new store openings and the capital
expenditures related to store remodels and corporate infrastructure
enhancements, which increased rent and depreciation.
In conjunction with the Company's business combinations with
Younkers, Parisian, Herberger's, Carson's, and Brody's, the
Company incurred certain integration charges in each period
presented. For the quarters ended August 1, 1998 and August 2,
1997, these charges totaled $4.0 million, or 0.5% of net sales, and
$1.6 million, or 0.2% of net sales, respectively. For the six
month periods ended August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997, these
charges totaled $6.0 million, or 0.4% of net sales, and $3.1
million, or $0.2% of net sales, respectively.
The Company has completed its assessment of the Year 2000 effect on
the Company's systems. Necessary systems modifications are
currently underway and are scheduled for completion by spring 1999.
For the quarters ended August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997, Year 2000
expenses totaled $2.6 million, or 0.3% of net sales, and $3.7
million, or 0.5% of net sales, respectively. For the six month
periods ended August 1, 1998 and August 2, 1997, Year 2000 expenses
totaled $4.1 million, or 0.3% of net sales, and $4.4 million, or
0.3% of net sales, respectively. Management anticipates that
additional Year 2000 charges will total approximately $3.0 million
for the last two quarters of 1998 and $1.0 million for 1999.
For the quarter and six months ended August 1, 1997, the Company
incurred expenses of $.8 million, or 0.1% of net sales, and $1.5
million, or 0.1% of net sales, respectively, related to the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") maintained at
Herberger's. The ESOP was terminated in December 1997.
For the both the quarter and six months ended August 1, 1998,
finance charge income, as a percent of net sales, increased 30
basis points over the prior year. These increases were primarily
due to the successful introduction of a proprietary charge card
program to the Company's Herberger's customers in May 1997 as well
as certain proprietary charge card term changes for most of the
Company's credit card programs effected in late 1997 and early
1998.
Total financing costs, which include interest expense and finance
charge income allocated to the third party purchasers of accounts
receivable, decreased as a percentage of net sales for the second
quarter and six months by 30 and 40 basis points, respectively, due
to lower average borrowings during the periods as well as more
favorable financing terms.
Net income for the quarter ended August 1, 1998 totaled $14.0
million, or $.15 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million, or
$.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended August 2, 1997. Net
income for the six months ended August 1, 1998 totaled $34.9
million, or $.37 per diluted share, compared to $20.2 million, or
$.23 per diluted share, in the prior year. The increase in
earnings over the prior year primarily was due to improved gross
margin performance, leverage on operating expenses, increased
finance charge income, and lower financing costs.
