                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                        ---------------------------------


To the Participants of the Carter Hawley Hale
Savings and Investment Plan and the Employee
Benefits Administrative Committee
of Broadway Stores, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits
and the related Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Carter Hawley Hale Savings and Investment Plan at December 31, 1993 and
the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the plan's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.  We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in schedules I
and V is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended.  Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the statement of net assets available for benefits as of December 31,
1992 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated June 23,
1993 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying statement of net assets
available for benefits as of December 31, 1992, when read in conjunction with
the financial statements from which it has been derived, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation thereto.

                 CARTER HAWLEY HALE SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Carter Hawley Hale Savings and Investment Plan
(the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants
should refer to the Plan agreement (the "Agreement") for more complete
information.

GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan administered by the Employee Benefits
Administrative Committee (the "Committee") of Broadway Stores, Inc. (the
"Company"), formerly known as Carter Hawley Hale Stores, Inc.  On February 9,
1993, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Plan, as amended and
restated.  The Plan, as amended and restated, reestablished Company matching
contributions, created additional investment options, and enabled participants
to direct their own investment allocations and monitor their accounts by using a
telephone information and transaction system.  Prior to the restatement, the
Plan was known as the "Carter Hawley Hale 401(k) Investment Plan".

TRUSTEE FOR PLAN ASSETS
In March 1993, the Plan appointed Bankers Trust Company as the trustee for plan
assets.  During 1993 all assets were transferred to Bankers Trust Company from
the former trustee, Bank of America N.T. and S.A.

PLAN INVESTMENTS
Prior to March 1993, employee contributions were being invested entirely in a
limited risk investment fund.  Plan investments also included shares of Company
common stock as a result of Company and participant investments made prior to
February 1991, shares of Company preferred stock issued in connection with the
Company's emergence from bankruptcy in October 1992 and shares of common stock
of The Neiman Marcus Group as a result of a distribution received in connection
with the Company's restructuring which was completed in 1987.

Commencing March 1993, investment choices became participant directed and were
broadened to include money market, bond, and equity funds together with an
option to invest in shares of Company common stock.  No recommendation is made
by the Company, the Committee, or the Trustee as to whether employees should
make contributions under the Plan or invest contributions in any of the
investment choices provided.  No additional investments may be made in shares of
the Company preferred stock or Neiman Marcus common stock.

The money market fund invests in highly liquid, short maturity, and high credit
quality securities.  The bond fund invests principally in fixed income
securities included in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.  The equity
fund invests principally in common stocks of those companies included in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index.

COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS
Subsequent to filing for bankruptcy in February of 1991, the Company matching
contributions had been suspended.  The Company emerged from bankruptcy in
October 1992 and, effective April 1, 1993, Company matching contributions
resumed at a rate of 25% of the participant's pretax contributions up to 6% of
compensation earned on or after April 1, 1993 (subject to limitations for
certain highly compensated employees).  Matching contributions will only be made
if the participant is employed by the Company and eligible to participate in the
Plan on December 31 of the applicable year.


                                        6

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan if they have 1,000 hours or
more of service with the Company either during their first 12 months of
employment or during any Plan year commencing after their initial date of
employment with the Company.

EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS
Within limits set out in Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), as amended in 1986, participants may elect to contribute between two
and twelve percent of their pre-tax compensation; provided, however, that if the
employee is a highly compensated employee for purposes of Section 414(q) of the
Code, contribution rates are limited to between two and six percent of pre-tax
compensation.  The Plan provides for participants to change the rate of
contribution, suspend contributions or resume contributions effective as of the
first paydate in the month following the election.  Participants' contributions
and earnings thereon are fully vested at all times; however, certain withdrawal
restrictions apply under the Code to contributions of participants continuing in
the service of the Company.

EXPENSES OF THE PLAN
Each month, the Plan is charged a portion of the direct expenses relating to
investment management, trustee, and administrative costs.  The money market,
bond and equity funds are directly charged for expenses at fixed monthly rates
of .0375%, .0350% and .0417%, respectively, based on the fund's month end
balance.  In 1993, plan earnings were reduced by $120,771 for these expenses.
Costs in excess of these charges are borne by the Company.

PLAN TERMINATION
The Company has not expressed an intent to terminate the Plan as it may subject
to Plan provisions.  No amendment or termination of the Plan, however, shall
allow any part of the funds held by the trustee to return to the Company or to
be used for any purpose other than for exclusive benefit of the participants.

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.  The money market, bond, and equity funds are valued at fair market
value at the end of each business day by the investment manager.  The investment
in shares of common stock of the Company and in shares of The Neiman Marcus
Group are valued at market based upon the closing New York Stock Exchange
composite price at the Plan year end.  The investment in Company preferred stock
is convertible into warrants to purchase Company common stock and is valued at
market based upon the price of the warrants at Plan year end.  The change in the
difference between beginning and end of period cost and market value of Plan
investments is presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits as net appreciation (depreciation) in value.

OBLIGATIONS TO WITHDRAWING PARTICIPANTS

TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
letter, including amendments effective July 1, 1987, that the Plan and related
trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Code.  The plan
has been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the plan
administrator and the plan's tax counsel believe that the plan is designed and
is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of
the Code.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
plan's financial statements.
