ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General. The Company is one of the leading operators of full-line
department stores in the United States, with 411 department stores in 33 states
as of February 1, 1997. The Company's department stores sell a wide range of
merchandise, including men's, women's and children's apparel and accessories,
cosmetics, home furnishings and other consumer goods, and are diversified by
size of store, merchandising character and character of community served. The
Company's department stores are located at urban or suburban sites, principally
in densely populated areas across the United States. The Company also operates
more than 150 specialty stores under the names "Aeropostale" and "Charter Club",
and a mail order catalog business under the name "Bloomingdale's By Mail".
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each of
the Company's retail operating divisions:

(a) Reflects total square footage of store locations, including office, storage,
service and other support space that is not dedicated to direct merchandise
sales, but excluding warehouses and distribution terminals not located at
store sites.
In general, each of the Company's retail operating divisions is a separate
subsidiary of the Company. However, the Macy's West division and the
Rich's/Lazarus/Goldsmith's division each comprises three separate subsidiaries
of the Company.
The Company provides electronic data processing and other support functions
to its retail operating divisions on an integrated, Company-wide basis. In
addition, the Company's financial and credit services subsidiary, FACS Group,
Inc. ("FACS"), which is based near Cincinnati, Ohio, establishes and monitors
credit policies on a Company-wide basis. FACS also provides proprietary credit
services, including credit authorizations, new account development and
processing, and customer service, to each retail operating
1
3
division of the Company and collection services to each of the retail operating
divisions that were divisions of Federated prior to the Merger and in respect of
the "Macy's" credit card accounts owned by the Company. GE Capital Consumer Card
Co. ("GE Bank"), which purchased all of the "Macy's" credit card accounts owned
by Macy's prior to the Merger (and with which the Company has an agreement
regarding the allocation of the ownership of "Macy's" credit card accounts
originated subsequent to the Merger) provides statement processing and mailing
to each retail operating division of the Company and collection services in
respect of the GE Bank-owned "Macy's" credit card accounts. The Company's data
processing subsidiary, Federated Systems Group, Inc. ("FSG"), which is based
near Atlanta, Georgia, provides (directly and pursuant to outsourcing
arrangements with third parties) operational electronic data processing and
management information services to each of the Company's retail operating
divisions. In addition, a specialized staff maintained in the Company's
corporate offices in Cincinnati provides services for all divisions in such
areas as store design and construction, accounting, real estate, insurance and
supply purchasing, as well as various other corporate office functions. FACS,
FSG, a specialized service subsidiary and certain departments in the Company's
corporate offices offer their services to unrelated third parties as well.
Federated Merchandising Group, a division of the Company based in New York City,
helps the Company to centrally develop and execute consistent merchandise
strategies while retaining the ability to tailor merchandise assortments and
merchandising strategies to the particular character and customer base of the
Company's various department store franchises. Federated Merchandising Group is
also responsible for the private label development of the Company's retail
operating divisions except for Bloomingdale's (which has its own private label
program) and Stern's (which sources its private label merchandise through
Associated Merchandising Corporation). Federated Logistics, a division of
Federated Corporate Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, based in
Secaucus, New Jersey, provides warehousing and merchandise distribution services
for the Company's retail operating divisions.
The Company and its predecessors have been operating department stores
since 1830. Federated was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1929. On
February 4, 1992, Allied Stores Corporation ("Allied") was merged into
Federated. On May 26, 1994, Federated acquired Joseph Horne Co., Inc. pursuant
to a subsidiary merger. On December 19, 1994, Federated acquired Macy's pursuant
to the Merger. On October 11, 1995, the Company acquired Broadway Stores, Inc.
("Broadway") pursuant to a subsidiary merger.
The Company's executive offices are located at 151 West 34th Street, New
York, New York 10001, telephone number: (212) 695-4400 and at 7 West Seventh
Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, telephone number: (513) 579-7000.
Employees. As of February 1, 1997, the Company had approximately 117,100
regular full-time and part-time employees. Because of the seasonal nature of the
retail business, the number of employees peaks in the Christmas season.
Approximately 10% of the Company's employees as of February 1, 1997 were
represented by unions. Management considers its relations with employees to be
satisfactory.
Seasonality. The department store business is seasonal in nature with a
high proportion of sales and operating income generated in the months of
November and December. Working capital requirements fluctuate during the year,
increasing somewhat in mid-summer in anticipation of the fall merchandising
season and increasing substantially prior to the Christmas season when the
Company must carry significantly higher inventory levels.
Purchasing. The Company purchases merchandise from many suppliers, no one
of which accounted for more than 5% of the Company's net purchases during 1996.
The Company has no long-term purchase
2
4
commitments or arrangements with any of its suppliers, and believes that it is
not dependent on any one supplier. The Company considers its relations with its
suppliers to be satisfactory.
Competition. The retailing industry, in general, and the department store
business, in particular, are intensely competitive. Generally, the Company's
stores are in competition not only with other department stores in the
geographic areas in which they operate but also with numerous other types of
retail outlets, including specialty stores, general merchandise stores,
off-price and discount stores, new and established forms of home shopping
(including mail order catalogs, television and computer services) and
manufacturers' outlets.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company acquired Macy's on December 19, 1994 and effected other
acquisitions (and dispositions) during its 1994 fiscal year. Additionally, in
its 1995 fiscal year, the Company acquired Broadway and recorded the acquisition
as of July 29, 1995. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets,
liabilities and results of operations associated with such acquired businesses
have been included in the Company's financial position and results of operations
since the respective dates of acquisition. Accordingly, the financial position
and results of operations of the Company presented and discussed herein are
generally not directly comparable between the periods presented. The following
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the 52 Weeks Ended February 1, 1997 and the 53 Weeks Ended
February 3, 1996. Net sales for 1996 were $15,229.0 million compared to
$15,048.5 million for 1995, an increase of 1.2%. On a comparable store basis,
net sales for 1996 increased 3.1 percent compared to the first 52 weeks of 1995.
Net sales for 1996 were somewhat negatively impacted by the Company's efforts to
gradually reduce the degree to which it utilizes promotional selling practices
with respect to home-related merchandise.
Cost of sales was 61.4% of net sales for 1996, compared to 62.5% for 1995.
Cost of sales includes one-time inventory valuation adjustments related to
merchandise in lines of business that were eliminated or replaced in connection
with the consolidation of merchandise inventories for acquired and pre-existing
businesses. In 1996, cost of sales includes $65.7 million of inventory valuation
adjustments in connection with the integration of Broadway into the Company. In
1995, cost of sales includes $69.1 million of inventory valuation adjustments in
connection with the integration of Macy's into the Company and $22.5 million of
inventory valuation adjustments in connection with the consolidation of the
Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions. Also, in 1995, cost of sales
was negatively impacted by greater markdowns at stores operated as Broadway
locations. Excluding these stores in 1995 and the inventory valuation
adjustments discussed above, cost of sales would have been 61.0% of net sales
for 1996, compared to 61.3% for 1995. The lower level of promotional activity
for home-related merchandise and increased sales of higher margin private label
merchandise contributed to the improvement for 1996. The valuation of
merchandise inventory on the last-in, first-out basis did not impact cost of
sales in either year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 32.7% of net sales for
1996, compared to 33.1% for 1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses
include one-time costs related to the integration and consolidation of acquired
and pre-existing businesses as business integration and consolidation expenses
("BICE"). In 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses include, under
the caption BICE, $167.7 million of costs associated with the integration of
Broadway into the Company, $33.7 million of costs related to the integration of
Macy's into the Company and $41.5 million of costs related to other support
operation restructurings, primarily the centralization of the Company's
merchandise distribution function. In 1995, selling, general and administrative
expenses include, under the caption BICE, $139.8 million of costs associated
with the integration of Macy's into the Company, $48.1 million of costs
associated with the integration of Broadway into the Company and $14.4 million
of costs related to the consolidation of the Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and
Lazarus divisions, and also include a $25.6 million charitable contribution to
Federated Department Stores Foundation. Excluding these items for both 1996 and
1995, selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 31.1% of net
sales for 1996, compared to 31.6% for 1995. The improvement for 1996 primarily
reflects the operating efficiencies resulting from the integration of Macy's
into the Company in fiscal 1995 and other support operation restructurings
(primarily merchandise distribution).
6
8
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1996 reflect higher
expenses for doubtful customer accounts receivable, partially offset by higher
finance charge revenues. Amounts charged to expense for doubtful accounts
receivable were $171.9 million for 1996, compared to $126.9 million for 1995.
The increase reflects higher average accounts receivable balances, the
consolidation of certain credit card nameplates, the effects of closing stores
in certain markets and general economic conditions in the geographic areas in
which the Company operates. Partially offsetting the increase in amounts charged
to expense for doubtful accounts, finance charge income grew to $429.5 million
in 1996, compared to $405.2 million in 1995, primarily due to higher average
accounts receivable balances.
Net interest expense was $451.8 million for 1996 compared to $461.0 million
for 1995. The lower interest expense for 1996 is principally due to the lower
levels of borrowings.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 39.8% for 1996 differs from the
federal income tax statutory rate of 35.0% principally because of the effect of
state and local income taxes and permanent differences arising from the
amortization of intangible assets.
Comparison of the 53 Weeks Ended February 3, 1996 and the 52 Weeks Ended
January 28, 1995. Net sales for 1995 were $15,048.5 million compared to
$8,315.9 million for 1994, an increase of 81.0%. Including sales of the Macy's
stores that were open throughout both periods being compared, and adjusting for
the impact of the 53rd week in 1995, comparable store sales increased 2.7% in
1995. Net sales for 1995 included $1,050.3 million of Broadway sales.
Cost of sales was 62.5% of net sales for 1995, compared to 61.9% for 1994.
Cost of sales included one-time inventory valuation adjustments related to
merchandise in lines of business that were eliminated or replaced in connection
with the consolidation of merchandise inventories for acquired and pre-existing
businesses. In 1995, cost of sales included $69.1 million of inventory valuation
adjustments in connection with the integration of Macy's into the Company and
$22.5 million of inventory valuation adjustments in connection with the
consolidation of the Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions. In
1994, cost of sales included $14.9 million of inventory valuation adjustments in
connection with the integration of Horne's into the Company's Lazarus division.
Also, in 1995, cost of sales was negatively impacted by markdowns at stores
operated as Broadway locations. Excluding these stores and the inventory
valuation adjustments discussed above, cost of sales would have been 61.3% of
net sales for 1995 and 61.7% for 1994. The valuation of merchandise inventory on
the last-in, first-out basis did not impact cost of sales in 1995 and resulted
in a credit of $11.3 million to cost of sales in 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 33.1% of net sales for
1995, compared to 31.5% for 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses
included one-time costs related to the integration and consolidation of acquired
and pre-existing businesses under the caption BICE. In 1995, selling, general
and administrative expenses included, under the caption BICE, $139.8 million of
costs associated with the integration of Macy's into the Company, $48.1 million
of costs associated with the integration of Broadway into the Company and $14.4
million of costs related to the consolidation of the Company's
Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions, and also included a $25.6 million
charitable contribution to Federated Department Stores Foundation. In 1994,
selling, general and administrative expenses included, under the caption BICE,
$45.8 million of costs associated with the integration of Macy's into the
Company, $12.1 million of costs associated with the integration of Horne's into
the Company and $13.1 million of costs associated with the consolidation of the
Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions. Excluding these items for
both 1995 and 1994, selling, general and administrative expenses would have been
31.6% of net sales for 1995, compared to 30.7% for 1994. Because the credit card
programs relating to Macy's are owned by
7

a third party, revenue from credit operations decreased in 1995 as a percentage
of sales. Because selling, general and administrative expenses are reported net
of revenue from credit operations, such decrease was the major factor
contributing to the increase in 1995 in the selling, general and administrative
expense rate and more than offset the Company's improved expense control. In
addition, operating expenses were reduced by $23.8 million in 1994 as a result
of an adjustment for the favorable settlement of bankruptcy claims.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 1995 reflected higher
finance charge income and increased expenses for doubtful customer accounts
receivable. Finance charge income was $405.2 million for 1995 compared to $320.3
million for 1994. The increase reflected higher average accounts receivable
balances. Amounts charged to expense for doubtful accounts receivable grew to
$126.9 million in 1995, compared to $66.5 million recorded in 1994. The increase
reflected the higher average accounts receivable balances, the consolidation of
certain credit card nameplates, the effects of closing stores in certain markets
and general economic conditions in the geographic areas in which the Company
operates.
Net interest expense was $461.0 million for 1995, compared to $218.2
million for 1994. The higher interest expense in 1995 was principally due to the
higher levels of borrowings resulting from the Macy's and Broadway acquisitions.
Cash interest payments, net of interest received, were $398.0 million for 1995
compared to $166.8 million for 1994.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 63.1% for 1995 differed from the
federal income tax statutory rate of 35.0% principally because of permanent
differences arising from the non-deductibility of approximately $65.0 million of
losses of Broadway and the amortization of intangible assets, and the effect of
state and local income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from
operations and certain available credit facilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 1996 was $1,220.5 million, an
increase of $926.0 million from the net cash provided by operating activities in
1995 of $294.5 million. In addition to improved operating results, the primary
factors which contributed to this improvement were decreases in accounts
receivable and lower increases in merchandise inventories, both changes due to
Broadway store closings, and increases in non-merchandise payables and accrued
liabilities. Cash provided from operations in 1995 was negatively impacted by
higher payments of non-merchandise payables and accrued liabilities (including
liabilities related to the Macy's acquisition).
The Company is a party to a bank credit facility providing for up to $515.7
million of term borrowings and up to $2,000.0 million of revolving credit
borrowings (including a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility). The
Company also has in effect a facility to finance its customer accounts
receivable which provides for, among other things, the issuance from time to
time of up to $375.0 million of receivables backed commercial paper. As of
February 1, 1997, the Company had $515.7 million of term borrowings, $310.0
million of revolving credit borrowings, $48.1 million of standby letters of
credit and $112.5 million of trade letters of credit outstanding under its bank
credit facility and $146.0 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding
under its receivables backed commercial paper facility.
Net cash used in investing activities was $649.8 million in 1996 compared
to $633.2 million in 1995. In 1996, capital expenditures for property and
equipment were $846.0 million and dispositions of property and equipment,
principally Broadway stores and merchandise distribution facilities, totaled
$196.2 million. During
8
10
1996, the Company opened seven new department stores and two new furniture
galleries and closed ten stores, five of which were Broadway stores. In 1995,
capital expenditures for property and equipment were $696.5 million, and the
Company added $16.3 million in cash as a result of the acquisition of Broadway.
The total purchase price for Broadway, consisting solely of non-cash items, was
$1,620.0 million.
Net cash used by the Company for all financing activities was $594.4
million in 1996 compared to $304.8 million net cash provided for all financing
activities in 1995. During 1996, the Company incurred debt totaling $688.7
million and repaid debt totaling $1,334.9 million. Debt incurred consisted of
$450.0 million of 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2003 and $238.8 million of
asset-backed certificates. The major components of debt repaid consisted of
$386.5 million of commercial paper borrowings under a receivables based credit
facility of a subsidiary of Broadway which was terminated on May 14, 1996, $64.0
million of asset-backed notes issued by a subsidiary of Broadway and $284.3
million of term borrowings and $530.0 million of revolving credit loans under
the Company's bank credit facility. In 1996, the Company issued 4.1 million
shares of common stock and received $99.0 million in proceeds upon the exercise
of its Series A Warrants, which expired on February 15, 1996. On January 22,
1997, the Company entered into an arrangement providing for off balance sheet
financing of up to $200.0 million of non-proprietary credit card receivables
arising under accounts owned by the Company. At February 1, 1997, $103.5 million
of borrowings were outstanding under this arrangement.
The Company intends to open six new department stores in 1997 and its
budgeted capital expenditures are approximately $2,300.0 million for the 1997 to
1999 period. Management presently anticipates funding such expenditures from
operations. In addition, the Company intends to close seven to ten department
stores in 1997.
Management believes the department store business will continue to
consolidate. Accordingly, the Company intends from time to time to consider
additional acquisitions of department store assets and companies.
Management of the Company believes that, with respect to its current
operations, cash on hand and funds from operations, together with its credit
facilities, will be sufficient to cover its reasonably foreseeable working
capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. Acquisition
transactions, if any, are expected to be financed through a combination of cash
on hand and from operations and the possible issuance from time to time of
long-term debt or other securities. Depending upon conditions in the capital
markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time consider the
issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible capital markets
transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current
indebtedness or for other corporate purposes.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT
To the Shareholders of
Federated Department Stores, Inc.:
The integrity and consistency of the consolidated financial statements of
Federated Department Stores, Inc. and subsidiaries, which were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are the responsibility
of management and properly include some amounts that are based upon estimates
and judgments.
The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls, which is
supported by a program of internal audits with appropriate management follow-up
action, to provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate cost, that the Company's
assets are protected and transactions are properly recorded. Additionally, the
integrity of the financial accounting system is based on careful selection and
training of qualified personnel, organizational arrangements which provide for
appropriate division of responsibilities and communication of established
written policies and procedures.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been audited by
KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent certified public accountants. Their report
expresses their opinion as to the fair presentation, in all material respects,
of the financial statements and is based upon their independent audits conducted
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
The Audit Review Committee, composed solely of outside directors, meets
periodically with the independent certified public accountants, the internal
auditors and representatives of management to discuss auditing and financial
reporting matters. In addition, the independent certified public accountants and
the Company's internal auditors meet periodically with the Audit Review
Committee without management representatives present and have free access to the
Audit Review Committee at any time. The Audit Review Committee is responsible
for recommending to the Board of Directors the engagement of the independent
certified public accountants, which is subject to shareholder approval, and the
general oversight review of management's discharge of its responsibilities with
respect to the matters referred to above.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Federated Department Stores, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Federated
Department Stores, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 1, 1997 and February 3,
1996, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
fifty-two week period ended February 1, 1997, the fifty-three week period ended
February 3, 1996 and the fifty-two week period ended January 28, 1995. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated
Department Stores, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 1, 1997 and February 3,
1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the fifty-two
week period ended February 1, 1997, the fifty-three week period ended February
3, 1996 and the fifty-two week period ended January 28, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Federated Department Stores, Inc. (the "Company") is a retail organization
operating department stores that sell a wide range of merchandise, including
women's, men's and children's apparel, cosmetics, home furnishings and other
consumer goods.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated. 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 and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent
uncertainties, which may result in actual amounts differing from reported
amounts.
Cash includes cash and liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less.
Installments of deferred payment accounts receivable maturing after one
year are included in current assets in accordance with industry practice. Such
accounts are accepted on customary revolving credit terms and offer the customer
the option of paying the entire balance on a 25-day basis without incurring
finance charges. Alternatively, customers may make scheduled minimum payments
and incur competitive finance charges. Minimum payments vary from 2.5% to 100.0%
of the account balance, depending on the size of the balance. Profits on
installment sales are included in income when the sales are made. Finance charge
income is included as a reduction of selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Substantially all merchandise inventories are valued by the retail method
and stated on the LIFO (last-in, first-out) basis, which is generally lower than
market.
Depreciation and amortization are provided primarily on a straight-line
basis over the shorter of estimated asset lives or related lease terms.
Estimated asset lives range from 15 to 50 years for buildings and building
equipment and 3 to 15 years for store fixtures and equipment. Real estate taxes
and interest on construction in progress and land under development are
capitalized. Amounts capitalized are amortized over the estimated lives of the
related depreciable assets.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated lives (see Note 7). The carrying value of intangible assets is
periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the
present value of the expected future operating cash flows derived from such
intangible assets is less than their carrying value.
Advertising and promotional costs, which are generally expensed as
incurred, amounted to $617.6 million for the 52 weeks ended February 1, 1997,
$633.2 million for the 53 weeks ended February 3, 1996 and $347.5 million for
the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995.
Financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
F-7
30
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
================================================================================
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases, and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions is recognized in
the financial statements over an employee's term of service with the Company.
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plan in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25") and
related Interpretations (see Note 14).
Earnings per share are computed on the basis of daily average number of
shares outstanding during the year. Any dilution from the potential issuance of
shares under warrant agreements or stock option plans would be less than 3.0%.
Fully diluted earnings per share include the effect of the potential issuance of
shares under warrant agreements or stock option plans, as well as for
convertible debt and, unless disclosed, any such dilution would be less than
3.0%.
Certain reclassifications were made to prior years' amounts to conform with
the classifications of such amounts for the most recent year.
2. ACQUISITION OF COMPANIES
The Company completed its acquisition of Broadway Stores, Inc. ("Broadway")
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 14, 1995. The total
purchase price of the Broadway acquisition was approximately $1,620.0 million,
consisting of (i) 12.6 million shares of common stock and options to purchase an
additional 1.5 million shares of common stock valued at $352.9 million and (ii)
$1,267.1 million of Broadway debt. In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company purchased $422.3 million of mortgage indebtedness of Broadway for 6.8
million shares of common stock of the Company and a $242.3 million promissory
note.
The Broadway acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, the results of operations of Broadway have been included in the
Company's results of operations since July 29, 1995 and the purchase price has
been allocated to Broadway's assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair
value of these assets and liabilities as of that date.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income gives
effect to the Broadway acquisition and related financing transactions as if such
transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

================================================================================
The foregoing unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income gives
effect to, among other pro forma adjustments, the following:
(i) Interest expense on debt incurred in connection with the acquisition, the
reversal of certain of Broadway's historical interest expense;
(ii) Amortization, over 20 years, of the excess of cost over net assets
acquired;
(iii) Depreciation and amortization adjustments related to the fair market value
of assets acquired;
(iv) Adjustments to income tax expense related to the above; and
(v) Adjustments for shares issued.
The foregoing unaudited pro forma information is provided for illustrative
purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of results that actually
would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated on the first day
of the period presented.
On December 19, 1994, the Company acquired R. H. Macy & Co., Inc.
("Macy's") pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization of Macy's and substantially all
of its subsidiaries. The total purchase price of the Macy's acquisition was
approximately $3,815.9 million.
The Macy's acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and,
accordingly, the results of operations of Macy's have been included in the
Company's results of operations since the date of acquisition and the purchase
price has been allocated to Macy's assets and liabilities based on the estimated
fair value of these assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.
On May 26, 1994, the Company purchased Joseph Horne Co., Inc. ("Horne's"),
a department store retailer operating ten stores in Pittsburgh and Erie,
Pennsylvania for approximately $116.0 million, including the assumption of $40.0
million of mortgage debt and transaction costs. The acquisition was accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price approximated
the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Results of
operations for the stores acquired are included in the Consolidated Financial
Statements from the date of acquisition.
3. INVENTORY VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS RELATED TO CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS
INTEGRATION AND CONSOLIDATION EXPENSES
In connection with the consolidation of merchandise inventories for
acquired and pre-existing businesses, the Company recorded one-time inventory
valuation adjustments related to merchandise in lines of business that were
eliminated or replaced as a separate component of cost of sales. For the 52
weeks ended February 1, 1997, the amount recorded related to the consolidation
of Broadway into the Company's Macy's West division. For the 53 weeks ended
February 3, 1996, $69.1 million related to the integration of Macy's into the
Company including the consolidation of the Macy's East division with the
Company's Abraham & Straus/Jordan Marsh division and $22.5 million related to
the consolidation of the Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions. For
the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995, the amount recorded related to the
consolidation of Horne's into the Company's Lazarus division.
F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
================================================================================
Additionally, the Company incurred certain one-time costs related to the
integration and consolidation of acquired and pre-existing businesses and
classified such costs as business integration and consolidation expenses as a
separate component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
During the 52 weeks ended February 1, 1997, the Company recorded $242.9
million of business integration and consolidation expenses, consisting of $167.7
million of costs associated with the integration of Broadway into the Company,
$33.7 million of costs related to the integration of Macy's into the Company and
$41.5 million of costs related to other support operation restructurings. The
major components of the Broadway integration expenses were $90.4 million of
costs associated with converting the Broadway stores to other nameplates of the
Company (including advertising, credit card issuance and promotion and other
name change expenses), $28.6 million of costs associated with operating Broadway
central office functions for a transitional period and $48.7 million of other
costs and expenses associated with the integration of Broadway into the Company,
including the disposition of properties. The costs associated with the
integration of Macy's into the Company primarily related to the administration
and integration of Company-wide policies and procedures and the elimination of
duplicative or non-continuing facilities. The costs associated with other

stores, $38.4 million of costs to convert a number of stores to other
nameplates, $30.8 million of severance costs and $39.5 million of other costs
and expenses associated with integrating Macy's into the Company. The major
components of the Broadway integration expenses were $23.3 million of costs to

and $16.1 million of other costs and expenses associated with integrating
Broadway into the Company.
The Company recorded a $45.8 million charge in the 52 weeks ended January
28, 1995 for the integration of Macy's into the Company, including the
consolidation of the Macy's East division with the Company's Abraham &
Straus/Jordan Marsh division and the consolidation of central merchandising
divisions. The major components of the charge include $13.0 million in severance
expenses for Abraham & Straus/Jordan Marsh employees, $12.3 million in penalties
associated with terminating certain merchandise purchasing agreements and $14.1
million of losses incurred on stores closed and property writedowns related to
stores sold as a result of the Macy's acquisition.

On May 14, 1996, Prime Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company ("Prime"), issued $238.8 million of asset-backed certificates and
the Company terminated the receivables based credit facility of Broadway
Receivables Inc., another wholly owned subsidiary.
On May 22, 1996, the Company issued $450.0 million of 8.5% Senior Notes due
2003, and subsequently prepaid $195.4 million of term borrowings under its bank
credit facility. The total payments, in 1996, with respect to the term
borrowings under the bank credit facility were $284.3 million including required
principal payments.
The following summarizes certain provisions of the Company's debt:
RECEIVABLES BACKED CERTIFICATES
On December 15, 1992, Prime issued $981.0 million ($979.1 million
discounted amount) of asset-backed certificates in four separate classes to
finance purchases of revolving consumer credit card receivables generated by the
Company's department store operations. The four classes of certificates are: (i)
$450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.05% Class A-1 Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 1992-1 due December 15, 1997; (ii) $450.0 million in
aggregate principal amount of 7.45% Class A-2 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series
1992-2 due December 15, 1999; (iii) $40.5 million in aggregate principal amount
of 7.55%
F-15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
================================================================================
Class B-1 Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1992-1 due January 15, 1998; and
(iv) $40.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.95% Class B-2 Asset-Backed
Certificates, Series 1992-2 due January 18, 2000. On January 20, 1995 Prime
entered into an agreement pursuant to which it effectively sold an additional
$77.0 million of asset-backed certificates to a third party, with such
certificates bearing interest at the purchaser's commercial paper rate plus 0.9%
and maturing as to $38.5 million in 1998 and $38.5 million in 2000. The $77.0
million of certificates are subject to interest rate caps intended to
effectively limit the rate of interest thereon to 11.0% per annum. On July 27,
1995, Prime issued an additional $598.0 million of asset-backed certificates in
two separate classes. The two classes are: (i) $546.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 6.75% Class A Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1995-1 due
August 15, 2002 and (ii) $52.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.90%
Class B Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1995-1 due September 15, 2002. On May
14, 1996, Prime issued an additional $238.8 million of asset-backed certificates
in two separate classes. The two classes are: (i) $218.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 6.70% Class A Asset-Backed Certificates Series 1996-1 due
May 1, 2001, and (ii) $20.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.85% Class
B Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1996-1 due June 1, 2001. All of the
foregoing certificates represent undivided interests in the assets of a master
trust originated by Prime.
BANK CREDIT FACILITY
The Bank Credit Facility consists of a $2,000.0 million revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving Loan Facility") and $515.7 million term loan facility
(the "Term Loan Facility").
The Revolving Loan Facility provides for revolving credit loans ("Revolving
Loans" and, together with the loans under the Term Loan Facility, the "Loans")
of up to $2,000.0 million, of which an aggregate of $1,100.0 million is
available for seasonal working capital purposes (including a letter of credit
subfacility). For 30 consecutive calendar days during the period from December 1
to March 1, commencing December 1, 1995, total borrowings plus the aggregate
stated amounts of stand-by letters of credit under the Revolving Loan Facility
may not exceed $1,000.0 million ($1,350.0 million in the case of the period from
December 1, 1995 to March 1, 1996). The Company's ability to effect borrowings
under the Revolving Loan Facility is not subject to any borrowing base
requirements or limitations. The Revolving Loan Facility matures on March 31,
2000, with the Revolving Loans then outstanding to be repaid in full on such
date.
The Term Loan Facility matures on January 29, 2000. However, the Company is
required to make quarterly amortization payments totaling, on an annual basis,
$131.4 million, $175.3 million and $209.0 million for the 52 weeks ended January
31, 1998, January 30, 1999 and January 29, 2000, respectively, subject to
adjustment in certain circumstances. The Company is permitted by the terms of
the Credit Agreement to make voluntary prepayments of amounts outstanding under
the Term Loan Facility at any time without penalty or premium. Until such time
as the Company has obtained an investment grade rating with respect to its
long-term senior unsecured debt, repayments of certain amounts outstanding under
the Term Loan Facility are required upon the occurrence of certain events.
Loans under the Bank Credit Facility (other than "competitive bid loans,"
if any) bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, (i) the
administrative agent's Base Rate (as defined in the bank credit agreement) in
effect from time to time or (ii) the administrative agent's Eurodollar rate
(adjusted for reserves) plus 0.75% subject to adjustment based on the Company's
long-term debt rating and interest

================================================================================
coverage ratio. The Company is able to borrow up to $1,000.0 million under the
Revolving Loan Facility in competitive bid loans at either fixed rates or
Eurodollar-based rates as bid by the lenders in the Revolving Loan Facility. The
Company pays a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum, subject to adjustment, on the
unused portion of the Revolving Loan Facility.
The Company has purchased interest rate caps covering an aggregate notional
amount of $1,400.0 million for a period of three years from December 15, 1994.
Pursuant to such caps, the Eurodollar rate with reference to which interest on
$500.0 million of the Company's variable rate indebtedness is determined is
effectively limited to a maximum rate of 8% per annum throughout such three-year
period and the Eurodollar rate with reference to which interest on $900.0
million of the Company's variable rate indebtedness is determined is effectively
limited to a maximum rate of 7% per annum in the first year of such three-year
period, 8% per annum in the second year of such three-year period and 9% per
annum thereafter. The Company has also entered into interest rate swap
agreements covering an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million. The
Eurodollar rate with reference to which interest on the Company's variable rate
indebtedness is determined is effectively converted to a fixed rate of 5.3275%
on $100.0 million of borrowings from January 9, 1996 to January 9, 1998, 5.2625%
on $100.0 million of borrowings from January 23, 1996 to January 25, 1999,
5.225% on $100.0 million of borrowings from January 18, 1996 to January 18, 1998
and 5.01% on $100.0 million of borrowings from February 12, 1996 to February 12,
1998.
UNSECURED COMMERCIAL PAPER
On January 30, 1997, the Company established a facility for the issuance
from time to time of unsecured commercial paper. The maximum principal amount of
commercial paper that may be outstanding under the facility at any particular
time is $400.0 million. The issuance of commercial paper under the facility will
have the effect, while such commercial paper is outstanding, of reducing the
Company's borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan Facility by an amount
equal to the principal amount of such commercial paper. As of February 1, 1997,
no such commercial paper was outstanding.
SENIOR NOTES
The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company, are not
redeemable at the option of the Company prior to maturity and are not subject to
a sinking fund.
MORTGAGES
Certain of the Company's real estate subsidiaries are parties to a mortgage
loan facility providing for secured borrowings. Borrowings under the facility
will mature in 2002 and bear interest at 9.99% per annum. Borrowings under the
facility are secured by liens on certain real property. The outstanding balance
under the mortgage loan facility was $345.1 million ($60.5 million included in
short-term debt) as of February 1, 1997 and $345.1 million as of February 3,
1996.
In addition to the mortgage indebtedness described above, the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries are obligated under certain other mortgage notes,
which are secured by liens on certain real property of the Company's
subsidiaries. The aggregate principal amount of such mortgage notes was $93.8
million ($8.0 mil-

lion included in short-term debt) as of February 1, 1997 and $118.8 million
($8.2 million included in short-term debt) as of February 3, 1996.
CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
On September 27, 1995, the Company issued Convertible Subordinated Notes
which are unsecured obligations of the Company and are subordinate to all
existing and future Senior Debt of the Company and all indebtedness and other
liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. The Convertible Subordinated Notes
mature on October 1, 2003 and bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum from
September 27, 1995, payable in arrears on October 1 and April 1 of each year,
commencing April 1, 1996.
At any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased,
each holder of Convertible Subordinated Notes will have the right to convert the
principal of such holder's Convertible Subordinated Notes into fully-paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of 29.2547 shares of Common
Stock for each $1,000 stated principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Notes,
provided that such conversion rate will be appropriately adjusted in order to
prevent dilution of such conversion right in the event of certain changes in or
events affecting the Common Stock and certain consolidations, mergers, sales,
leases, transfers, or other dispositions to which the Company is a party. In
addition, the Convertible Subordinated Notes will be redeemable at the Company's
option, in whole or in part, at anytime on or after October 1, 1998, at
specified redemption prices plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. The
Convertible Subordinated Notes are not subject to a sinking fund.
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at 8.2%, matures in October 2000
and is secured by liens on certain real property and the stock of a special
purpose subsidiary of the Company.
NOTE MONETIZATION FACILITY
On May 3, 1988, the Company sold certain divisions for consideration which
included a $400.0 million promissory note. The Company subsequently transferred
the note to a grantor trust of which it is the beneficiary. The trust borrowed
$352.0 million under a note monetization facility, using the note as collateral,
and distributed the proceeds of such borrowing to the Company. The borrowing
under the note monetization facility matures in two equal installments on May 3,
1997 and 1998, and bears interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR,
subject to certain adjustments. An interest rate swap agreement was entered into
for the note monetization facility which, in effect, converted the variable
interest rate to a fixed rate of 10.344%. The Company is not an obligor on the
borrowing under the note monetization facility or the interest rate swap
agreement, and the lender's recourse thereunder is limited to the trust's assets
and the Company's interest in the trust.
RECEIVABLES BACKED COMMERCIAL PAPER
On January 5, 1993, an indirect wholly owned special purpose financing
subsidiary of the Company entered into a liquidity facility with a syndicate of
banks providing for the issuance of up to $375.0 million of receivables backed
commercial paper. Borrowings under the liquidity facility are secured by an
interest in the

master trust originated by Prime and are subject to interest rate caps
effectively limiting the rate of interest thereon to 10% per annum. As of
February 1, 1997 and February 3, 1996 there was $146.0 million and $117.0
million of such commercial paper outstanding, respectively.
OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
In addition to the financing arrangements discussed above, on January 22,
1997, the Company entered into an arrangement providing for off balance sheet
financing of up to $200.0 million of non-proprietary credit card receivables
arising under accounts owned by the Company. At February 1, 1997, $103.5 million
of borrowings were outstanding under this arrangement.

========== ==========
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
F-20
43
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
================================================================================
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Because tax law limits the use of an
acquired enterprise's net operating loss carryforwards to subsequent taxable
income of the acquired enterprise in a consolidated tax return for the combined
enterprise, management had recorded a valuation allowance of $114.7 million to
reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets related to Macy's net
operating loss carryforwards (the "Macy's NOLs") that may not be realized.
During the year ended February 3, 1996, management reassessed the realizability
of the Macy's NOLs and determined, based upon the Company's then-current tax
planning strategies and other available information, that the portion of the
Company's future taxable income attributable to the acquired Macy's enterprise
would more likely than not be sufficient to utilize the entire amount of the
deferred tax asset related to Macy's NOLs. Consequently, the $114.7 million
valuation allowance was eliminated through a reduction in excess of cost over
net assets acquired.
As of February 1, 1997, the Company estimated that the Macy's NOLs, which
are available to offset future taxable income of the acquired Macy's enterprise
through 2008, were approximately $554.7 million and that Broadway's net
operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable
income of the acquired Broadway enterprise through 2009, were approximately
$302.6 million. The Company also had alternative minimum tax credit
carryforwards of $52.7 million, which are available to reduce future income
taxes, if any, over an indefinite period.
In connection with the joint plan of reorganization ("POR") of Federated
Stores, Inc. ("FSI"), the former parent of the Company and certain of its
subsidiaries, the FSI consolidated tax group (which, with respect to periods
prior to February 4, 1992, included the Company and such subsidiaries) triggered
certain gains (the "Gains") estimated at approximately $1,800.0 million. The
Company believed that net operating and capital losses ("NOLs") sufficient to
offset the Gains were available at the time the Gains were triggered and,
accordingly, that the Company would have no regular federal income tax liability
in respect thereof and that it had adequately provided for its estimated
alternative minimum tax liability. During the year ended January 28, 1995, the
Company recorded $75.0 million of tax benefits related to NOLs generated prior
to February 4, 1992 and reduced reorganization value in excess of amounts
allocable to identifiable assets accordingly. The remaining issues related to
the Gains and the POR were resolved on January 5, 1996 and the Company recorded
$200.0 million of tax benefits related to such NOLs as a reduction of
reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets.
In connection with their respective reorganization proceedings, the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") audited the tax returns of the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries and the FSI consolidated tax group for tax years
1984 through 1989 and asserted certain claims against the Company and such
subsidiaries and other members of the FSI consolidated tax group. All of the
issues raised by the IRS audit have been resolved, except for an issue involving
the deductibility of approximately $176.3 million of so-called "break-up fees."
This issue was resolved in favor of the Company by the Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Ohio, the decision of which was affirmed by the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Thereafter, the IRS
filed an appeal of such decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the
Sixth Circuit, where such appeal currently is pending. Management believes that
the ultimate resolution of this issue will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

12. RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company has defined benefit plans ("Pension Plans") and defined
contribution plans ("Savings Plans") which cover substantially all employees who
work 1,000 hours or more in a year. In addition, the Company has defined benefit
supplementary retirement plans which include benefits, for certain employees, in
excess of qualified plan limitations. For the 52 weeks ended February 1, 1997,
the 53 weeks ended February 3, 1996 and the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995, net
retirement expense for these plans totaled $29.2 million, $21.8 million and $3.0
million, respectively.
Measurements of plan assets and obligations for the Pension Plans and the
defined benefit supplementary retirement plans are calculated as of December 31
of each year. The discount rates used to determine the actuarial present value
of projected benefit obligations under such plans were 7.75% as of December 31,
1996 and 7.25% as of December 31, 1995. The assumed average rate of increase in
future compensation levels under such plans was 5.0% as of December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995. The long-term rate of return on assets (Pension Plans only)
was 9.75% as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Company amended and merged its Pension Plans
and supplementary retirement plans and, during the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
amended and merged its Savings Plans. These amendments and mergers are not
expected to have a material impact on net retirement expense.

SAVINGS PLANS
The Savings Plans include a voluntary savings feature for eligible
employees. For one plan, the Company's contribution is based on the Company's
annual earnings and the minimum Company contribution is 20% of an employee's
eligible savings. For the other plans, the Company's contribution is based on a
percentage of employee savings. Expense for the Savings Plans amounted to $10.1
million for the 52 weeks ended February 1, 1997, $10.2 million for the 53 weeks
ended February 3, 1996 and $8.3 million for the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company has a deferred compensation plan wherein eligible executives
may elect to defer a portion of their compensation each year as either stock
credits or cash credits. The Company transfers shares to a trust to cover the
number it estimates will be needed for distribution on account of stock credits
currently outstanding. At February 1, 1997, February 3, 1996 and January 28,
1995, the liability under the plan, which is reflected in other liabilities, was
$11.8 million, $7.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Expense for the 52
weeks ended February 1, 1997, the 53 weeks ended February 3, 1996 and the 52
weeks ended January 28, 1995 was immaterial.
13. POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE AND LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS
In addition to pension and other supplemental benefits, certain retired
employees currently are provided with specified health care and life insurance
benefits. Eligibility requirements for such benefits vary by division and
subsidiary, but generally state that benefits are available to eligible
employees who retire after a certain age with specified years of service.
Certain employees are subject to having such benefits modified or terminated.

The measurement of the postretirement benefit obligations is calculated as
of December 31. The following table sets forth the projected actuarial present
value of unfunded postretirement benefit obligations at December 31, 1996 and
1995:
DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31,
1996 1995

(MILLIONS)
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:

Unrecognized net gain.................................... 69.4 35.5
Unrecognized prior service cost.......................... 16.0 18.6
------ ------
Accrued postretirement benefit obligation................ $449.5 $450.2
====== ======
The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of
unfunded postretirement benefit obligations was 7.75% as of December 31, 1996
and 7.25% as of December 31, 1995.
The future medical benefits provided by the Company for certain employees
are based on a fixed amount per year of service, and the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation is not affected by increases in health care
costs. However, the future medical benefits provided by the Company for certain
other employees are affected by increases in health care costs. For purposes of
determining the present values of unfunded postretirement benefit obligations,
the annual growth rate in the per capita cost of various components of such
medical benefit obligations was assumed to range from 5.5% to 10.5% in the first
year, and to decrease gradually for each such component to 5.5% by 2003 and to
remain at that level thereafter. The foregoing growth-rate assumption has a
significant effect on such determination. To illustrate, increasing such assumed
growth rates by one percentage point would increase the present value of
unfunded postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1996 by $22.8
million.
14. EQUITY PLAN
The Company has adopted an equity plan intended to provide an equity
interest in the Company to key management personnel and thereby provide
additional incentives for such persons to devote themselves to the

subsidiaries. The equity plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). The Compensation
Committee is authorized to grant options, stock appreciation rights and

subsidiaries. The equity plan also provides for the award of options to
non-employee directors.

additional grants pursuant to the Company's equity plan, of which 204,900 shares
were available for grant in the form of restricted stock. No shares of Common
Stock were granted in the form of restricted stock during the 52 weeks ended
February 1, 1997 or the 53 weeks ended February 3, 1996. During the 52 weeks
ended January 28, 1995, 418,000 shares of Common Stock were granted in the form
of restricted stock at market values ranging from $18.625-$23.625 with vesting
periods ranging from immediate to five years. Compensation expense is recorded
for all restricted stock grants based on the amortization of the fair market
value at the time of grant of the restricted stock over the period the
restrictions lapse (see Note 15). There have been no grants of stock
appreciation rights under the equity plan.
The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for compensation cost under its equity plan. Had
compensation cost for the Company's equity plan been determined consistent with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 for options granted

outstanding at February 3, 1996, and 212.2 million shares of Common Stock issued
and 182.6 million shares outstanding at January 28, 1995 (with shares held in
the Company's treasury or by subsidiaries of the Company being treated as
issued, but not outstanding).
COMMON STOCK
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Subject to
preferential rights that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared
by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. However, it
is not presently anticipated that dividends will be paid on Common Stock in the
foreseeable future and certain of the debt instruments to which the Company is a
party restrict the payment of dividends.
PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
Each share of Common Stock is accompanied by one right (a "Right") issued
pursuant to the Share Purchase Rights Agreement between the Company and The Bank
of New York, as Rights Agent. Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof
to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred
Shares"), of the Company at a price (the "Purchase Price") of $62.50 per one
one-hundredth of a Series A Preferred Share (subject to adjustment).
In general, the Rights will not become exercisable or transferable apart
from the shares of Common Stock with which they were issued unless a person or
group of affiliated or associated persons becomes the beneficial owner of, or
commences a tender offer that would result in beneficial ownership of, 20% or
more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (any such person or group of
persons being referred to as an "Acquiring Person"). Thereafter, under certain
circumstances, each Right (other than any Rights that are or were beneficially
owned by an Acquiring Person, which Rights will be void) could become
exercisable to purchase at the Purchase Price a number of shares of Common Stock
having a market value equal to two times the Purchase Price. The Rights will
expire on February 4, 2002, unless earlier redeemed by the Company at a
redemption price of $.03 per Right (subject to adjustment).
FUTURE STOCK ISSUANCES
The Company is authorized to issue 10.2 million shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment) upon the conversion of the Convertible Subordinated
Notes, 1.0 million shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) upon the
exercise of the Company's Series B Warrants, 9.0 million shares of Common Stock
(subject to adjustment) upon the exercise of the Company's Series C Warrants,

In connection with the acquisition of Macy's, 29.5 million shares were
issued to wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and are reflected as treasury
shares in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Additions to treasury stock for
restricted stock represent shares accepted in lieu of cash to cover employee tax
liability upon lapse of restrictions. Under the deferred compensation plan,
shares are maintained in a trust to cover the number estimated to be needed for
distribution on account of stock credits currently outstanding.
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:
Cash and short-term investments
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity
of these instruments.
Accounts receivable
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short average
maturity of the instruments, and because the carrying amount reflects a
reasonable estimate of losses from doubtful accounts.
Notes receivable
The fair value of notes receivable is estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis, based on estimated market discount rates.
Other assets
Other assets primarily represent investments in joint ventures accounted
for on the equity basis. Based on recent appraisals, the carrying value of such
investments approximates their fair value.

Long-term debt
The fair values of the Company's long-term debt are estimated based on the
quoted market prices for publicly traded debt or by using discounted cash flow
analysis, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.
Interest rate cap agreements
The fair values of the interest rate cap agreements are estimated based on
current settlement prices of comparable contracts obtained from dealer quotes.
Interest rate swap agreements
The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are obtained from
dealer quotes. The values represent the estimated amount the Company would pay
to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current
interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. The
interest rate swap agreements pertain to the note monetization and working
capital facilities and, although currently in net payable positions, management
intends to hold these agreements to their maturity dates.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows:

The interest rate cap agreements in effect at February 1, 1997 are used to
hedge interest rate risk related to variable rate indebtedness under the
Company's bank credit facility and receivables backed commercial paper program,
as well as certain asset-backed certificates. These interest rate cap agreements
are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of
the cap.
The interest rate swap agreements described in the foregoing table relate
to the note monetization and bank credit facilities. The note monetization
facility bears interest based on LIBOR, subject to certain adjustments. The
interest rate swap agreement for the note monetization facility effectively
converts this variable rate debt (LIBOR plus 0.40%) to a fixed rate of 10.344%
(9.944% fixed rate plus 0.40%). The trust that is the borrower under the note
monetization facility receives fixed-rate interest on the promissory note
constituting such trust's principal asset. The other interest rate swap
agreements are used, in effect, to fix the interest on a portion of the debt
outstanding under the bank credit facilities.
Commitments to extend credit under revolving agreements relate primarily to
the aggregate unused credit limits and unused lines of credit for the Company's
credit plans. These commitments generally can be terminated at the option of the
Company. It is unlikely that the total commitment amount will represent future
cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a
case-by-case basis.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments
and trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments in what
it believes to be high credit quality financial instruments. Credit risk with
respect to trade receivables is concentrated in the geographic regions in which
the Company operates stores. Such concentrations, however, are considered to be
limited because of the Company's large number of customers and their dispersion
across many regions.
