                          ----------------------------


The J. C. Penney Company, Inc.
 Benefit Plans Investment Committee,
 Benefits Administration Committee, and the
 Benefit Plans Review Committee:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the J. C. Penney Company, Inc. Savings, Profit-Sharing and Stock Ownership
Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the J. C. Penney
Company, Inc. Savings, Profit-Sharing and Stock Ownership Plan as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules, Item 27a -
Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes and Item 27d - Schedule of
Reportable Transactions, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

     more annually) are permitted to contribute from 1% to 10% of their earnings
     (up to a maximum of $150,000) with a maximum of 8% in Tax-deferred Deposits
     (subject to annual maximums of $9,240 in 1994 and $8,994 in 1993).
     Nonhighly compensated Associates may contribute in 1% increments up to 16%
     of earnings in either Taxed or Tax-deferred Deposits or a combination of
     both.

     The Company contributes to the Plan an amount which when combined with the
     dividends earned on the J. C. Penney Company, Inc. Series B ESOP
     Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") will be sufficient to
     service the semiannual loan payments (see note 3). The Company's
     contribution amounted to $51.5 million in 1994 and $50.1 million in 1993.
     At the time of each loan payment, shares of Preferred Stock are allocated
     to Associate's accounts. In accordance with the terms of the Plan, 116,667
     shares of Preferred Stock were allocated to Associates in both 1994 and
     1993, and will be allocated to Associates each year thereafter until 1998.
     The year-end market value of the shares released during 1994 and 1993 was
     $104.1 million and $122.8 million, respectively. A portion of the 116,667
     shares will be used to satisfy dividends on previously allocated Preferred
     Stock. The remaining shares will be allocated to each Associates' Penney
     Preferred Stock Account in accordance with the ratio that each Associate's
     deposits, not in excess of 6% of earnings ("matched deposits"), bear to all
     such deposits by Associates for the 

                                                                     (Continued)

     applicable Plan year. The value of the 1994 allocation to Associates was
     equal to 75% of matched deposits versus 93% in 1993.

     If the total value of Preferred Stock released for allocation in any year
     is less than 4-1/2% of available profits (as defined in the Plan document),
     the Company is required to make an additional contribution in cash or
     shares of J. C. Penney Company, Inc. common stock ("Common Stock") to the
     Plan which will be deposited to the Penney Stock Company Account. The
     additional Company contribution, if any, is allocated to Associates based
     on their matched deposits in the same manner as described above.

(c)  Associates' Accounts
     --------------------

     Associates' account balances are invested in the Plan's investment programs
     in accordance with their elections. These investment programs include the
     Penney Stock Account (consisting of investments in J. C. Penney, Inc.
     common stock), the S & P 500 Account (consisting of investments in
     commingled equity funds), and the Interest Income Account (consisting of
     contracts with insurance companies and structured investment contracts,
     which provide a specific interest rate for a specified period of time).
     Each of these funds are maintained on a unit value basis and, accordingly,
     the actual earnings and appreciation or depreciation in the underlying
     securities are reflected in the daily unit value.

(d)  Vesting
     -------

     Associates are immediately vested in their contributions and earnings
     thereon. Vesting in the Company Accounts is graduated at 20% per full year
     of service up to 100% after the earlier of 5 years of service, normal
     retirement age, death, or total disability. Associates who separate from
     service prior to full vesting of their rights forfeit the unvested balance
     of their Company Accounts.

(e)  Payment of Benefits
     -------------------

     Benefits remain in the Plan until the Associate elects payment. The normal
     form of payment is a lump sum settlement (cash and/or shares of Common
     Stock). In lieu of a lump sum settlement, terminating Associates may elect
     to defer their balances (if at least $3,500) or, for those Associates who
     have attained age 55 with 15 years of Plan service or are over age 65, may
     elect an optional annuity for life or installment payments payable for a
     specified period of time. Associates in deferred status may request
     periodic withdrawals, fixed monthly payments of at least $100 or a complete
     distribution. Minimum distributions will be made in the year the Associate
     attains age 70-1/2 and each year thereafter to comply with federal law.

(f)  Participants' Loan
     ------------------

     Loans may be made available to Associates who have not separated from
     service upon their request. All loans must be adequately secured and bear
     interest at a reasonable rate. Loan amounts and the term of repayment are
     limited in accordance with Plan provisions.

                                                                     (Continued)

(2)  Investments
     -----------

     Investments in securities are stated at fair value using quoted market
     prices. The fair value of the Preferred Stock, which is not publicly
     traded, is determined to be the greater of its issue price of $600 per
     share or the Common Stock price into which it can be converted. The Common
     Stock is widely traded. Funds with insurance companies are recorded at
     contract value as reported to the Plan by each insurance company. Each
     contract is credited with earnings and charged for withdrawals. The Plan
     also invests in structured investment contracts. Under these arrangements,
     the Plan enters into a wrap agreement with a financial institution at a
     stated yield on fixed income securities purchased by the Plan. The wrap
     agreements are stated at fair value based on fluctuations in the fair value
     of the underlying fixed income securities. The average cost method is used
     to calculate gains and losses on the sale of investments on a trade date
     basis. Except for certain funds with insurance companies, the Plan's
     investments are held by the trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company.

     The Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at a ratio of 1:20.
     Each 1/20 of a share of Preferred Stock has a minimum value of $30. The
     Company has the option of settling a participant's Penney Preferred Stock
     Account in cash or whole shares of the Common Stock derived from the
     conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common Stock, or any combination
     thereof, if the market price of Common Stock at the time of distribution is
     equal to or less than the conversion value of $600 per share of the
     Preferred Stock. However, if the participant requests settlement of such
     account in shares, the participant will receive shares of the Common Stock
     derived from the conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common Stock. A
     participant's Penney Preferred Stock Account will be settled with the
     Common Stock derived from the conversion of the Preferred Stock to Common
     Stock if the market price of Common Stock exceeds the conversion value of
     $600 per share of the Preferred Stock. The annual dividend on the Preferred
     Stock is 7.9%, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1.

     The following table presents the fair values of investments. Investments
     that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are separately
     identified:

      * Units are not assigned to Associates' loans receivable.

     The net asset value for the Penney Preferred Stock Account is based on the
     value of the Penney Preferred Stock allocated to Associates, excluding
     forfeitures, as of December 31, 1994 and 1993.

(3)  Loan Payable
     ------------

     The Plan borrowed $700 million in August 1988, through a term loan
     agreement obtained by private placement with several financial
     institutions. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and the proceeds were
     used to purchase the Preferred Stock issued by the Company. The loan
     agreement specifies semiannual principal and interest payments of $51.2
     million on January 1 and July 1, with the final installment due in 1998.
     The loan bears interest at 8.17%.

(4)  Plan Termination
     ----------------

     While the Company presently has no intention to do so, it reserves the
     right to terminate the Plan and the related Trust at any time subject to
     the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, Associates will
     become fully vested in amounts allocated to their Company accounts.

(5)  Tax Status
     ----------

     The Plan obtained its determination letter on August 23, 1993 in which the
     Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in
     compliance with the applicable qualification requirements of the Internal
     Revenue Code ("Code"). The Plan has been amended subsequent to receiving
     the determination letter; however, the Plan administrator believes that the
     Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
     applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the Plan administrator
     believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt
     as of the date of the financial statements.

                                                                     (Continued)
