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 months ended
May 1, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending January 29, 2000. The
financial statements include the accounts of Saks Incorporated
(the "Company;" formerly 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 30, 1999.
The accompanying balance sheet at January 30, 1999 has been
derived from the audited financial statements at that date.
NOTE 2 -- BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Effective September 17, 1998, Proffitt's, Inc. combined its
business with Saks Holdings, Inc. ("SHI"), the holding company of
Saks & Company which did business as Saks Fifth Avenue, Off 5th,
Folio and Bullock & Jones. The merger has been accounted for as
a pooling-of-interests, and accordingly, the consolidated
financial statements have been restated for the prior periods to
include the results of operations, financial position and cash
flows of SHI. In conjunction with the merger, Proffitt's, Inc.
changed its corporate name to Saks Incorporated.
For the three months ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998, the
Company incurred certain merger and integration costs ("M&I")
related to several business combinations, including SHI. These
costs, primarily consisting of the consolidation and conversion
of redundant systems and administrative operations, were (before
income taxes) $8.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for
the three months ended May 1, 1999 and May 2, 1998.
A reconciliation of the aforementioned costs to the amounts of
merger and integration costs remaining unpaid at May 1, 1999 is
as follows (in thousands):
Amounts unpaid at January 30, 1999

NOTE 4 -- CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company is involved in several legal proceedings arising in
the normal course of business activities, and accruals for losses
have been established where appropriate. Management believes
that none of these legal proceedings will have an ongoing
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
On June 10, 1999, the Company announced plans to consolidate three
distribution centers in 2001. In connection with this consolidation,
the Company is evaluating alternatives for the distribution centers
affected. Such alternatives include alternative uses or the sale of
the properties.
NOTE 5 -- SEGMENT REPORTING
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 provides companies the
opportunities to aggregate two or more operating segments into a
single operating segment if the segments have similar
characteristics. In applying SFAS No. 131, the Company
identified three reportable segments, which are as follows:
department stores, catalog and furniture stores. The catalog and
furniture stores segments represent less than three percent of the
Company's total revenues, assets and operating profit.
Consistent with its practice in 1998, the three identified
segments are combined within the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 6 -- NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires
that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the
financial statements. SFAS No. 133 is effective for the Company
in the first quarter of 2000, and the Company is in the process
of ascertaining the impact this new standard will have on its
financial statements.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" in 1998. Components of the Company's comprehensive
income for the year ended January 30, 1999 included the net loss
of $0.9 million and a minimum pension liability adjustment of
$7.5 million, net of taxes. The Company had no components of
comprehensive income for the three month periods ended May 1,
1999 and May 2, 1998.
NOTE 7 -- CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following tables present condensed consolidating financial
information for: 1) Saks Incorporated; 2) on a combined basis,
the guarantors of Saks Incorporated's Senior Notes (which are the
subsidiaries of Saks Incorporated with material assets, except
for Proffitt's Credit Corporation ("PCC"), National Bank of the
Great Lakes ("NBGL"), SHI real estate financing subsidiary trusts
("REMIC trusts"), and SFA Finance Corp.("SFC")); and 3) on a
combined basis, PCC, NBGL, REMIC Trusts, and SFC, the only active
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.
On January 31, 1999, immediately following the Company's fiscal
year end, the Company restructured its legal entity composition.
This restructuring changed the composition of Saks Incorporated
to include only the operations of a small group of corporate
employees and the majority of the Company's long-term debt. The
consolidating financial statements presented for the quarter
ended May 1, 1999 reflect this new legal entity composition. The
consolidating financial statements presented for the quarter
ended May 2, 1998 reflect the legal entity composition in place
at the time. Borrowings and the related interest expense under
Saks Incorporated's revolving credit facility are allocated to
Saks Incorporated and the guaranty subsidiaries under
arrangements among Saks Incorporated and the subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Prior year balance sheet information has been restated to reflect
the September 17, 1998 merger with SHI, which was accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests.
Accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and senior debt
balances fluctuate throughout the year due to the seasonal nature
of the retail industry.
May 1, 1999 merchandise inventory and property and equipment
balances increased over May 2, 1998 balances primarily due to new
store locations opened during the last 12 months, as well as the
acquisition of 15 stores from Dillard's in October and December
1998.
May 1, 1999 goodwill and intangibles increased over May 2, 1998
balances primarily due to the goodwill and intangibles associated
with the acquisition of the 15 stores from Dillard's.
Senior debt at May 1, 1999 increased over senior debt at May 2,
1998 primarily due to borrowings related to the acquisition of
the 15 stores from Dillard's and related working capital
requirements for these stores.
In conjunction with the SHI merger and the acquisition of the
Dillard's stores, the Company initiated a series of refinancing
activities between September 1998 and February 1999 that were
designed to reduce the weighted average cost of capital, provide
appropriate debt maturities and increase overall liquidity.
Included within the Company's senior debt are real estate and
mortgage notes. The May 1, 1999 real estate and mortgage notes
balance declined from the May 2, 1998 balance by $323 million primarily due
to the repurchase of $65 million and $236 million of outstanding
REMIC mortgage certificates in September 1998 and February 1999,
respectively.
Also included within the Company's senior debt are senior notes
payable. The May 1, 1999 notes payable balance increased by $1.3
billion from the May 2, 1998 balance due to the November and December 1998
issuance of $1.1 billion in senior notes, and the February 1999
issuance of $200 million in senior notes, with maturities ranging
from 2004 to 2019 and interest rates between 7-1/4% and 8-1/4%,
offset by the September 1998 tender of the Company's $125 million
8.125% senior notes.
At May 1, 1999, the Company had total debt outstanding of
approximately $1.93 billion. At that time, the Company had an
additional $781 million available to borrow under its existing
credit facilities, which do not expire until 2003. The Company
reduced its 364 day revolving credit facility in March 1999 from
$750 million to $500 million.
May 1, 1999 subordinated debt decreased from the balance at May
2, 1998 primarily due to the November 1998 repurchase of $267.7
million of SHI's 5-1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
September 2006. The Company's merger with SHI triggered the
change in control provision contained in the debenture, and as a
result, the Company made an offer to repurchase the notes at par
plus accrued interest.

====== =======
Net Sales
For the first quarter ended May 1, 1999, total Company sales were
$1.54 billion, a 9% increase over $1.41 billion in the prior
year. The sales increase for the quarter was primarily
attributable to additional sales from new stores opened, the
Brody's stores acquired in March 1998, the Dillard's stores
acquired in October and December 1998, and a comparable store
sales increase of 3%.
Gross margin
For the quarter ended May 1, 1999, the Company's gross margin
percentage increased 90 basis points over the prior year. This
improvement reflected the Company's improved execution of its
merchandising strategies, reduced levels of clearance
merchandise, continued efficiencies in distribution and
logistics, increased penetration of higher margin proprietary
brand merchandise, the conversion of the shoe departments at the
Carson Pirie Scott stores from leased to owned and shifts in the
merchandise mix of certain stores.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SGA")
SGA decreased as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended
May 1, 1999 by 30 basis points. This expense leverage primarily
resulted from targeted cost reductions related to each of the
Company's completed business combinations and certain
productivity efficiencies.
Merger and integration costs ("M&I")
The Company incurred certain M&I costs totaling $8.4 million, or
0.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of 1999 primarily related
to the Company's merger with SHI. These charges were primarily
related to costs incurred in the conversion and consolidation of
systems and administrative operations.
Year 2000 expenses ("Y2K")
The Company's Y2K compliance project began in 1997. From
commencement of the Y2K project through May 1, 1999, the
Company's Y2K expenses have totaled
$18.5 million. Company management anticipates that additional
Y2K expenses will total approximately $4.5 million for the
balance of 1999. The Company expects its significant systems to
be Y2K compliant by September 1999. The costs of the project and
the date on which the Company plans to complete modifications are
based on management's best estimates, which were derived
utilizing assumptions of future events including the continued
availability of certain resources, third party modification plans
and representations and other factors. However, there can be no
guarantee that these estimates will be achieved, and actual
results could differ materially from those plans. For complete
disclosure of the Company's Y2K issues, refer to "Management's
Discussion and Analysis" contained in the Company's Annual Report
to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January
30, 1999.
Interest expense
For the first quarter of 1999, interest expense increased in
dollars and as a percentage of net sales by $10.2 million and 50
basis points, respectively, primarily due to additional
indebtedness related to the fall 1998 cash purchase of 15 stores
and related inventory and accounts receivable from Dillard's.
Income before extraordinary items
Income before extraordinary items for the quarter ended May 1,
1999 totaled $33.7 million, or $.23 per diluted share, compared
to income before extraordinary items of $28.1 million, or $.19
per diluted share, for the quarter ended May 2, 1998. The
improvement in income over the prior year primarily was due to
higher gross margin performance and leverage on SGA.
Extraordinary items
The extraordinary loss for the quarter ended May 1, 1999 related
to the February 1999 repurchase of $236 million of outstanding
REMIC mortgage certificates. In conjunction with this debt
restructuring, the Company incurred charges related to the early
extinguishment of debt totaling $9.3 million after tax.
