1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  The Company

  In the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1995, Broadway Stores, Inc.
  (the "Company") became a subsidiary of Federated Department
  Stores, Inc. ("Federated") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan
  of Merger, dated August 14, 1995 (the "Broadway Merger
  Agreement").  Pursuant to the Broadway Merger Agreement, each
  outstanding share of the Company's common stock was converted
  into 0.27 shares of common stock of Federated, and each
  outstanding share of the Company's preferred stock was
  converted into one one-thousandth of a share of new preferred
  stock of the Company.  All of the outstanding common stock of
  the Company is owned by Federated.
  
  The acquisition of the Company by Federated was accounted for
  under the purchase method and, accordingly, certain
  adjustments have been made to the Company's assets and
  liabilities based on their estimated fair values. As a result
  of the acquisition and other related events discussed below,
  the Company's financial condition and results of operations
  subsequent to July 29, 1995 are not comparable to prior
  periods.

  In these notes and the accompanying financial statements,
  "Predecessor" refers to the Company on dates and for
  accounting periods through July 29, 1995, and "Successor"
  refers to the Company on dates and for accounting periods
  subsequent to July 29, 1995.
  
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  
  A description of the Company's significant accounting policies
  is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
  the fiscal year ended January 28, 1995 (the "1994 10-K").  The
  accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read
  in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
  notes thereto in the 1994 10-K.  The description and financial
  statements in the 1994 10-K are those of the Predecessor, and
  do not reflect the changes discussed herein.
  
  The Predecessor followed a practice of allocating certain
  fixed buying and occupancy costs among periods within the
  fiscal year to match these costs with the associated sales
  revenue.  The Successor expenses such costs as incurred.

  The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Predecessor
  reflect the capitalization of certain buying and handling
  costs in merchandise inventories.  The Consolidated Financial
  Statements of the Successor reflect such costs in selling,
  general and administrative expenses when incurred.

  Because of the seasonal nature of the general merchandising
  business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended
  October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, the 26 weeks ended July
  29, 1995 and the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1994 (which do not
  include the Christmas season) are not indicative of such
  results for the fiscal year.

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)
                           (UNAUDITED)


  The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 weeks ended
  October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, the 26 weeks ended July
  29, 1995 and the 39 weeks ended October 29, 1994, in the
  opinion of management, include all adjustments considered
  necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the
  consolidated financial position and results of operations of
  the Company.

  Certain items reflected in the Predecessor's financial
  statements were reclassified to conform to the classifications
  of such items reflected in the Successor's financial
  statements.
  
2.   MERGER TRANSACTION

  The total purchase price of the acquisition of the Company by
  Federated was approximately $1,620.0 million, including the
  Company's total indebtedness of $1,267.1 million.  The
  acquisition was  accounted for under the purchase method and,
  accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the Company's
  assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as
  of July 29, 1995.  Based upon initial estimates, the excess of
  cost over net assets acquired is approximately $186.2 million,
  which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20
  years.  Notwithstanding the acquisition of the Company by
  Federated, the sole responsibility for the payment and
  satisfaction of the Company's indebtedness and other
  liabilities remains with the Company.
  
  Although a majority of the Company's stores will be retained,
  it is anticipated that certain stores will be disposed of
  during fiscal 1996 and beyond.  (As of the date of this
  report, a definitive agreement to sell nine stores had been
  entered into, 10 additional stores had been identified to be
  sold, and a determination as to the disposition of certain
  other stores had yet to be made.) Accordingly, the allocation
  of the purchase price to the Company's property and equipment
  has yet to be determined, and the Company is presently unable
  to determine the amount of one-time charges that will
  ultimately be incurred in connection with the integration of
  the Company's operations with Federated's other operations.
  The Company has recorded an accrued severance liability in the
  amount of $27.0 million as an adjustment to the purchase price
  allocation for the recognition of certain estimated
  involuntary termination benefits.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                

  The Company was acquired by Federated Department Stores, Inc.
  in the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1995. As a result of the
  acquisition, the results of operations and financial condition
  of the Company for dates and periods subsequent to July 29,
  1995 are not comparable to prior periods.  Accordingly, the
  following comparisons of the Company's results of operations
  for the 39 weeks ended October 28, 1995 to the 39 weeks ended
  October 29, 1994 may not be meaningful.  Reference should be
  made to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
  fiscal quarter ended July 29, 1995 for a comparison of the
  Company's result of operations for the 26 weeks then ended to
  such results for the comparable period of 1994.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE 13 WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 28, 1995 AND OCTOBER 29, 1994
  
  For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
  "third quarter of 1995" and "third quarter of 1994" are to the
  Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended October 28, 1995 and
  October 29, 1994, respectively.
  
  Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 totaled $414.8 million
  compared to $474.9 million in the third quarter of 1994, a
  decrease of 12.6%.  On a comparable store basis, net sales
  decreased 12.1%.  The decreases reflect difficulties in the
  California economy and the effects of delays in merchandise
  shipments by vendors and other concerns regarding the economic
  viability of the Company prior to its acquisition by
  Federated.
  
  Cost of sales was 69.7% as a percent of net sales for the
  third quarter of 1995 compared to 64.8% for the third quarter
  of 1994.  Cost of sales was negatively impacted by higher
  markdowns taken to make inventory assortments fresh and
  fashion-current.  Cost of sales includes no charge in the
  third quarter of 1995 compared to a charge of $0.5 million in
  the third quarter of 1994 resulting from the valuation of
  merchandise inventory on the last-in, first-out basis.
  Excluding the impact of the capitalization of certain buying
  and handling costs in merchandise inventories, cost of sales
  for the third quarter of 1994 would have been 65.0% as a
  percent of net sales.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses were 40.6% as a
  percent of net sales for the third quarter of 1995 compared to
  33.7% for the third quarter of 1994.  The increase reflects
  higher sales promotion and selling costs in the third quarter
  of 1995.  Prior to its acquisition by Federated, the Company
  followed a practice of allocating certain fixed buying and
  occupancy costs among quarters within the fiscal year to match
  those costs with the associated seasonal sales revenue.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third
  quarter of 1994 reflect a benefit of $6.4 million due to
  reallocation of such costs.
  
  Net interest expense was $26.9 million for the third quarter
  of 1995, compared to $25.5 million for the third quarter of
  1994.
  
  No income tax benefit was recorded in the third quarter of
  1995 or the third quarter of 1994 due to limitations on the
  Company's ability to record net operating loss carryforwards
  for financial statement purposes.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)

COMPARISON OF THE 39 WEEKS ENDED OCTOBER 28, 1995 AND OCTOBER 29, 1994
  
  For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
  "1995" and "1994" are to the Company's 39 week fiscal periods
  ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, respectively.
  
  Net sales for 1995 were $1,299.4 million compared to $1,363.0
  million for 1994, a decrease of 4.9%.  On a comparable store
  basis, net sales decreased 6.9%.  The decreases reflect
  difficulties in the California economy and the effects of
  delays in merchandise shipments by vendors and other concerns
  regarding the economic viability of the Company prior to its
  acquisition by Federated.
  
  Cost of sales was 67.3% as a percent of net sales for 1995
  compared to 64.7% for 1994.  The increase reflects the higher
  markdowns taken in 1995 to make inventory assortments fresh
  and fashion-current.  Cost of sales includes a charge of  $2.0
  million in 1995 compared to $1.5 million in 1994 resulting
  from the valuation of merchandise inventory on the last-in,
  first-out basis.  Excluding the impact of the capitalization
  of certain buying and handling costs in merchandise
  inventories, cost of sales would have been 67.6% and 65.0% as
  a percent of net sales for 1995 and 1994, respectively.
  
  Selling, general and administrative expenses were 37.4% as a
  percent of net sales for 1995 compared to 33.7% for 1994.  The
  increase reflects higher sales promotion costs incurred in
  1995.  Prior to its acquisition by Federated, the Company
  followed a practice of allocating certain fixed buying and
  occupancy costs among quarters within the fiscal year to match
  those costs with the associated seasonal sales revenue.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect a benefit
  of $11.5 million in 1995 compared to $19.2 million in 1994 due
  to reallocation of such costs.
  
  Net interest expense was $89.4 million for 1995, compared to
  $71.5 million for 1994.  The increase was due to both higher
  average borrowings and increased average interest rates.
  
  No income tax benefit was recorded in 1995 or 1994 due to
  limitations on the Company's ability to record net operating
  loss carryforwards for financial statement purposes.
  
  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  
  For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
  "1995" and "1994" are to the Company's 39 week fiscal periods
  ended October 28, 1995 and October 29, 1994, respectively.
  
  Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.1 million in
  1995 compared to net cash used by operating activities of
  $124.1 million in 1994.  The primary factors contributing to
  the increase in cash provided by operating activities were
  greater decreases in customer accounts receivable and
  decreases in merchandise inventories compared to increases in
  the prior year.  The lower merchandise levels reflected delays
  in shipments from vendors resulting from limitations on the
  Company's working capital financing and the general weakness
  in its operating results.
  
  Net cash used by investing activities was $23.0 million in
  1995 compared to $75.8 million in 1994.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
  OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED)

  
  Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million in
  1995.  During the 13 weeks ended October 28, 1995 the Company
  received capital contributions from Federated totaling $111.0
  million and repaid debt totaling $78.3 million.
  
  On December 11, 1995, the Company repurchased for cash $142.0
  million of its 6-1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
  Due 2000.  The source of funds for such repurchase was a
  capital contribution from Federated.  Although the Company
  presently anticipates that it may receive additional capital
  contributions or other funds from Federated from time to time,
  Federated is under no obligation to make any such
  contributions or otherwise make its resources available to the
  Company.
