                     THE LIMITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Limited,
     Inc. (the "Company") and all significant subsidiaries which are more than
     50 percent owned and controlled.  All significant intercompany balances and
     transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Investments in other entities (including joint ventures) which are more
     than 20 percent owned are accounted for on the equity method.

     The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended April
     30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the
     Company's 1993 Annual Report.  In the opinion of management, the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
     (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the
     financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim
     periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
     for a full fiscal year.

     The consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen week
     periods ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 included herein have been
     reviewed by the independent  accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand and the
     report of such firm follows the notes to consolidated financial statements.

2.   INVENTORIES

     The fiscal year of the Company and its subsidiaries is comprised of two
     principal selling seasons:  Spring (the first and second quarters) and Fall
     (the third and fourth quarters).  Valuation of finished goods inventories
     is based principally upon the lower of average cost or market determined on
     a first-in, first-out basis utilizing the retail method.  Inventory
     valuation at the end of the first and third quarters reflects adjustments
     for inventory markdowns and shrinkage estimates for the total selling
     season.

3.   INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the
     annual effective tax rate.  Income taxes paid during the first quarter of
     1994 and 1993 approximated $98.2  million and $106.3 million.

     The Internal Revenue Service has issued a notice of deficiency to the
     Company for additional taxes and interest for 1989 and 1990. The IRS
     notice was based primarily on the treatment of transactions involving the
     Company's foreign operations and construction allowances. The Company
     strongly disagrees with the IRS position and intends to vigorously
     contest the matter. This matter will not have a material adverse effect
     on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

     Effective April 28, 1994, the Company amended its two revolving credit
     agreements (the "Agreements") totaling $840 million.  One Agreement
     provides the Company available borrowings of up to $490 million.  The other
     Agreement provides World Financial Network National Bank, a wholly-owned
     consolidated subsidiary, available borrowings of up to $350 million.
     Borrowings outstanding under the Agreements are due December 4, 1999.
     However, the revolving terms of each of the Agreements may be extended an
     additional two years upon notification by the Company at least 60 days
     prior to December 4, 1996, subject to the approval of the lending banks.
     Both Agreements have similar borrowing options, including interest rates
     which are based on either the lender's "Base Rate", as defined, LIBOR, CD
     based options or at a rate submitted under a bidding process.  Aggregate
     commitment and facility fees for the Agreements approximate 0.11% of the
     total commitment.  The Agreements place restrictions on the amount of the
     Company's working capital, debt and net worth.  No amounts were outstanding
     under the Agreements at April 30, 1994.     

     The Agreements support the Company's commercial paper program which funds
     working capital and other general corporate requirements.  No commercial
     paper was outstanding at April 30, 1994.

     Under the Company's shelf registration statement, up to $250 million of
     debt securities and warrants to purchase debt securities may be issued.

     All long-term debt outstanding at April 30, 1994 and January 29, 1994 is
     unsecured.

     Interest paid during the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 approximated $18.6
     million and $10.8 million.

6.   SPECIAL AND NONRECURRING ITEMS

     During the third quarter of 1993, the Company approved a plan which
     includes the following components:  the sale of a 60% interest in the
     Brylane mail order business; the acceleration of store remodeling,
     downsizing and closing program at the Limited Stores and Lerner divisions;
     and the refocusing of the merchandise strategy at the Henri Bendel
     division.

     The remodeling, downsizing  and closing program includes approximately 360
     Limited and Lerner stores and is expected to be completed by the end of
     1995.  The Company had closed approximately 80 of these stores and
     remodeled approximately 60 of these stores as of April 30, 1994.

     The net impact of the plan is anticipated to be immaterial to future
     operations.
