                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)



1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is 
     included in the Company's January 29, 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K 
     (the "1993 10-K").  The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements 
     should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements 
     in the 1993 10-K.

     Because of the seasonal nature of the general merchandising business, 
     the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 1994 and May 
     1, 1993 (which do not include the Christmas season) are not indicative 
     of such results for the fiscal year.

     The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 weeks ended April 30, 
     1994 and May 1, 1993, in the opinion of management, include all 
     adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered 
     necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated 
     financial position and results of operations of the Company and its 
     subsidiaries. 
 
2.   Extraordinary Item

     The extraordinary item during the 13 weeks ended May 1, 1993 represents 
     the costs associated with the prepayment of the entire $355.0 million 
     outstanding principal amount of the Company's Series B Secured Notes.

                        FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC. 

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                of Financial Condition and Results of Operations        


     Results of Operations
     
     For purposes of the following discussion, all references to "first 
     quarter of 1994" and "first quarter of 1993" are to the Company's 
     13-week fiscal periods ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993, 
     respectively.

     Comparison of the 13 Weeks Ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993

     Net sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $1,653.6 million, compared 
     to $1,590.3 million for the first quarter of 1993, an increase of 4.0%.  
     On a comparable store basis, net sales increased 2.1%.  

     Cost of sales was 60.9% as a percent of net sales for the first quarter 
     of 1994, compared to 59.9% for the first quarter of 1993.  The increase 
     reflects additional markdowns taken to offer increased value to the 
     customer and to keep inventory assortments fresh and fashion current.  
     Cost of sales includes charges of $5.2 million for the first quarter of 
     1994 compared to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 1993 resulting 
     from the valuation of merchandise inventory on the last-in, first-out 
     basis. 
     
     Selling, general and administrative expenses were 32.8% as a percent of 
     net sales for the first quarter of 1994, compared to 34.9% for the first 
     quarter of 1993.  This improvement reflects continued emphasis on 
     controlling variable expenses through centralization of operations, as 
     well as increased revenue from credit operations resulting from higher 
     accounts receivable balances this year.  Selling, general and 
     administrative expenses includes finance charge revenues of $74.4 
     million for the first quarter of 1994, compared to $60.3 million for the 
     first quarter of 1993.

     Net interest expense was $45.3 million for the first quarter of 1994, 
     compared to $43.3 million for the first quarter of 1993.  Interest 
     expense for the first quarter of 1994 reflects a full period accrual on 
     the $340.0 million promissory note issued on December 31, 1993.  
     Interest expense for the first quarter of 1993 reflects a partial period 
     accrual for the $355.0 million of Series B Secured Notes which were 
     prepaid on March 8, 1993.

     Income tax expense was $25.8 million for the first quarter of 1994.  
     This amount differs from the amount computed by applying the federal 
     income tax statutory rate of 35.0% to income before income taxes 
     principally because of state and local income taxes and permanent 
     differences arising from amortization of reorganization value in excess 
     of amounts allocable to identifiable assets.

     The extraordinary item for the first quarter of 1993, $3.5 million after 
     taxes, represents the costs associated with the prepayment of debt.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, 
     cash on hand and certain credit facilities that are available to it.

                                   FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC. 

                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
          of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


     Net cash used by operating activities was $92.6 million for the first 
     quarter of 1994, a reduction of $119.7 million from the net cash 
     provided of $27.1 million for the first quarter of 1993.  This decrease 
     is due primarily to higher accounts receivable balances this year 
     generated by increases in proprietary credit sales and a Company policy 
     change to lower the minimum monthly payment requirements.

     Net cash provided by the Company for all financing activities was $0.3 
     million for the first quarter of 1994, and net cash used in investing 
     activities was $27.2 million.  During the first quarter of 1994, the 
     Company opened one new store, reopened a hurricane-damaged store and 
     closed one store.  
     
     Management believes the department store segment will continue to 
     consolidate.  Accordingly, the Company intends from time to time to 
     consider the possible acquisition of department store assets and 
     companies.

     On May 26, 1994, the Company purchased Joseph Horne Co., Inc., a 
     department store retailer operating ten stores in Pittsburgh and Erie, 
     Pennsylvania, for $123.0 million, including the assumption of $40.0 
     million of mortgage debt and subject to certain post closing 
     adjustments.  The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase 
     method of accounting.

     The ten store locations, which had 1993 sales of approximately $215.0 
     million, will be merged into the Lazarus department store operation 
     resulting in certain one-time costs that will negatively impact fiscal 
     1994 earnings.

     Additionally, through its interest in a claim against R. H. Macy & Co., 
     Inc. ("Macy"), the Company has continued to pursue within the bankruptcy 
     process its ultimate objective of working toward a business combination 
     involving Macy.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be 
     successful in achieving that objective or, if so, as to the timing and 
     terms thereof.

     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.  Any business combination transaction involving the 
     Company and Macy would require the establishment of a revised capital 
     structure for the combined company.  Other 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.  Management's objective is to 
     maintain the Company's debt to equity ratio following any transaction, 
     including any transaction involving Macy, at levels determined to be 
     prudent and not to effect any transaction which would adversely affect 
     the long term value of an investment in the Company.
