Item 5.   Other Events.
          -------------

          This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Federated Department Stores, Inc.
("Federated") for the purpose of setting forth the following information to be
incorporated by reference into Federated's Registration Statement on Form S-3 
(File No. 33-59691):

                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

          On August 14, 1995, Federated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated
("Newco"), and Broadway Stores, Inc. ("Broadway") entered into an agreement (the
"Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein, Newco will be merged with and into Broadway (the
"Merger"), and Broadway will thereby become a subsidiary of Federated.  The
Merger is intended to permit Federated to broaden its base of department store
operations in the areas in which Broadway's department stores are operated
(primarily California and the Southwestern United States).  

          At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), among
other things, each outstanding share of Broadway common stock will be converted
into 0.27 shares of common stock of Federated ("Common Stock"), resulting in the
issuance of approximately 12.7 million shares of Common Stock.  In addition, the
Merger will result in (i) adjustments to outstanding options to purchase
Broadway common stock so that such options will become exercisable in the
aggregate to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares of Common Stock at prices
ranging from $14.81 to $51.85 per share and (ii) adjustments to outstanding
warrants to purchase Broadway common stock, and the issuance of Broadway
preferred stock exchangeable for warrants to purchase Common Stock, so that such
adjusted warrants and such warrants issuable upon the exchange of such preferred
stock will be exercisable in the aggregate to purchase approximately 0.6 million
shares of Common Stock at a price of $62.96 per share (subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances).

          In connection with the Merger Agreement, Federated and Broadway's
majority stockholder entered into an agreement, pursuant to which, among other
things, such stockholder agreed to vote all of the shares of Broadway common
stock owned by it in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and granted
to Federated an option to purchase such shares for consideration consisting of
0.27 shares of Common Stock for each such share of Broadway common stock.  In
addition, Federated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated ("FNC II"), and The
Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") entered into an agreement
(the "Prudential Agreement") providing for the purchase by FNC II from
Prudential of certain mortgage indebtedness of Broadway (the
"Broadway/Prudential Mortgage Debt") for consideration consisting





























                                       -2-




<PAGE>






of a $221.1 million promissory note of FNC II and, at FNC II's option, either
$200.0 million in cash or a number of shares of the Common Stock determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Prudential Agreement.  Each of Prudential
and Broadway's majority stockholder was granted certain registration rights with
respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable to it in connection with the
transactions described above.

          The obligations of Federated and Broadway to consummate the Merger are
conditioned upon, among other things, (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by
Broadway's stockholders; (ii) the absence of any order or injunction that
prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement; and (iii) all consents, authorizations, orders, and approvals of any
governmental authority required in connection with the Merger Agreement having
been obtained, other than any such consents, authorizations, orders, or
approvals which, if not obtained, would not have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition, or results of operations of Broadway.  The
Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC") and the Antitrust Division of the
Department of Justice (the "Antitrust Division") frequently scrutinize the
legality under the antitrust laws of transactions such as the Merger.  At any
time before or after the Effective Time, the FTC or the Antitrust Division
could, among other things, seek under the antitrust laws to enjoin the Merger or
to cause Federated to divest itself, in whole or in part, of Broadway or of
other assets owned or businesses conducted by Federated.  Under certain
circumstances, private parties and state governmental authorities could also
bring legal action under the antitrust laws challenging the Merger.

          Federated anticipates that a number of Broadway's stores will be
disposed of following the Merger.  As of the date hereof, however, Federated had
not entered into any agreements providing for such dispositions and there can be
no assurance that Federated will do so or as to the timing or terms thereof.  If
the Merger is completed, Federated anticipates that Broadway's retained
department stores will be converted into Macy's, Bullock's, or Bloomingdale's
stores commencing early in 1996.

          On or about the date hereof, Federated intends to enter into an
agreement providing for the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering
of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Subordinated
Notes Due 2003 of Federated (the "Notes"), and for the grant to the underwriters
of such offering of an option to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million
aggregate principal amount of Notes to cover over-allotments, if any.  The net
proceeds of the offering of the Notes (the "Offering") are estimated to be
approximately $243.8 million (assuming that the Underwriters' over-allotment
option is not exercised).  Of such amount, up to approximately $145.0 million 
is expected to be used to fund the aggregate purchase price for such






























                                       -3-




<PAGE>






of the 6-1/4% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2000 of Broadway (the
"Broadway Convertible Notes") that Broadway may be required to purchase pursuant
to a mandatory offer to repurchase all of the Broadway Convertible Notes
following the Merger.  The remainder of such amount, together with other funds
available to Federated, is expected to be used to pay certain costs and expenses
associated with the Merger and the conversion of certain of Broadway's stores
into Macy's, Bullock's, and Bloomingdale's stores (including costs and expenses
associated with the remodelling of such stores in connection with such
conversions).  Prior to the application thereof as described above, the net
proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used by Federated to temporarily
reduce revolving credit borrowings.  If the Merger were to fail to occur (which
failure is not anticipated), it is anticipated that the net proceeds of the
Offering would be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the
repayment of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, acquisitions, new store
construction, store expansions, and further investments in technology.

          See "Capitalization" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information"
for certain information giving effect to the consummation of the Merger, the
purchase by FNC II of the Broadway/Prudential Mortgage Debt, and the issuance
and sale of the Notes, as though such transactions had been consummated as of
specified historical dates.


                                 CAPITALIZATION

          The following table sets forth (i) the capitalization of each of
Federated and Broadway as of July 29, 1995, (ii) the pro forma capitalization of
Federated as of that date, giving effect to the consummation of the Merger and
the purchase by FNC II of the Broadway/Prudential Mortgage Debt for
consideration assumed to consist of a $221,149,531 promissory note of FNC II,
6,751,055 shares of the Common Stock, and $6,751,051 in cash, and (iii) the pro
forma capitalization of Federated as of such date, as adjusted to give effect to
the Offering (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option)
and the application of the net proceeds thereof to repurchase the entire
outstanding principal amount of the Broadway Convertible Notes and to
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings (see "Recent Developments"), as
if such transactions had been consummated as of such date.

          The pro forma information set forth below is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Federated's
actual consolidated capitalization would have been had the foregoing
transactions been consummated on July 29, 1995, nor does it give effect to (a)
any transactions other than the foregoing transactions and those discussed in
the Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information contained herein or (b)

Federated's or Broadway's respective results of operations since July 29, 1995. 
Accordingly, the pro forma information set forth below does not purport to be
indicative of Federated's consolidated capitalization as of the date hereof, the
Effective Time, or any other future date.

          The following table should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of Federated and Broadway, the unaudited pro forma
financial information and the related notes, and the other information contained
herein.

(a) Following the consummation of the Merger, Broadway will be required to 
    offer to purchase all of the outstanding Broadway Convertible Notes at a 
    price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.

(b) The note monetization facility represents debt of a trust of which 
    Federated is the beneficiary.  The repayment of such debt is nonrecourse 
    to Federated and its assets (other than its interests in such trust).

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The following unaudited pro forma financial statements of Federated give
effect to (i) the consummation of the Merger and the purchase by FNC II of the
Broadway/Prudential Mortgage Debt for consideration assumed to consist of a
$221,149,531 promissory note of FNC II, 6,751,055 shares of Common Stock, and
$6,751,051 in cash (the "Debt Purchase") and (ii) the Offering (assuming no
exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) and the application of the
net proceeds thereof to repurchase the entire outstanding principal amount of
the Broadway Convertible Notes and to temporarily reduce revolving credit
borrowings (see "Recent Developments"), in each case as if the foregoing
transactions had been consummated on July 29, 1995, in the case of the Unaudited
Pro Forma Balance Sheet at July 29, 1995, and on January 30, 1994, in the case
of the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the 26 weeks ended July
29, 1995 and the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995.  Because Federated's
acquisition of Macy's on December 19, 1994 was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, Federated's historical statements of operations give
effect to the results of operations of the R.H. Macy & Co. ("Macy's") business
only from and after such date.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations
for the 52 weeks ended January 28, 1995 gives effect to Federated's acquisition
of Macy's as if such acquisition had been consummated on January 30, 1994 rather
than on December 19, 1994.

    The following unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Federated's
actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the
foregoing transactions, including the acquisition of Macy's, been consummated on
such dates, nor does it give effect to (a) any transactions other than those
discussed above or in the accompanying Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Information, (b) Federated's or Broadway's results of operations since July 29,
1995, (c) the synergies, cost savings, and one-time charges expected to result
from the Merger and from the acquisition of Macy's, or (d) the effects of sales
of stores which may occur subsequent to the Merger.  Accordingly, the pro forma
financial information does not purport to be indicative of Federated's financial
position or results of operations as of the date hereof or for any period ended
on the date hereof, as of the Effective Time, for any period ending at the
Effective Time, or as of or for any other future date or period.

    The following unaudited pro forma financial information is based in part on
the historical financial statements of Federated and Broadway (and, with respect
to the 52-weeks ended January 28, 1995, certain financial data of Macy's) and
should































                                       -7-




<PAGE>






be read in conjunction with such historical financial statements, the related
notes, and the other information contained herein or in the exhibits hereto. 
Certain historical financial statements of Broadway and Macy's are filed as
Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by
reference.  Certain items derived from Broadway's historical financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the pro forma presentation.

    In the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma financial
information, it has been generally assumed that the historical book value of
Broadway's assets approximates the fair value thereof, as an independent
valuation has not been completed.  Federated will be required to determine the
fair value of the assets of Broadway (including intangible assets) as of the
Effective Time.  Although such determination of fair value is not presently
expected to result in values that are materially greater or less than the values
assumed in the preparation of the following unaudited pro forma financial
information, there can be no assurance with respect thereto.

    The retail business is seasonal in nature, with a higher proportion of sales
and earnings usually being generated in the months of November and December than
in other periods.  Because of this seasonality and other factors, results of
operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of results of
operations for an entire fiscal year.

(F) To adjust income tax expense (benefit) based upon an assumed composite
    (federal, state, and local) income tax rate of 40%.

(G) Although no adjustments have been recorded in the Unaudited Pro Forma
    Statements of Operations, it is estimated that Federated will have incurred
    expenses in connection with the consolidation of Federated's and Macy's
    operations of approximately $270.0 million in the 52 weeks subsequent to the
    acquisition of Macy's (of which approximately $190.0 million had been
    expensed through July 29, 1995).

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 

Authorized Capital Stock

   Federated's certificate of incorporation provides that the authorized capital
stock of Federated consists of 500 million shares of Common Stock and 125
million shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred
Stock").

Common Stock

   The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Subject to
preferential rights that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared
by the Board of Directors of Federated out of funds legally available therefor. 
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Federated, holders
of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any Preferred Stock. 
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and have no rights to convert
their Common Stock into any other securities, and there are no redemption
provisions with respect to such shares.

Preferred Stock

   The Board of Directors of Federated has the authority to issue 125 million
shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the designations,
relative powers, preferences, limitations, and restrictions of all shares of
each such series, including without limitation dividend rates, conversion
rights, voting rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation
preferences, and the number of shares constituting each such series, without any
further vote or action by the stockholders.  The issuance of the Preferred Stock
could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to
holders of Common Stock or adversely affect the rights and powers, including
voting rights, of the holders of Stock.  The issuance of the Preferred Stock
could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control
of Federated without further action by the stockholders.

Preferred Share Purchase Rights

   Each outstanding share of Common Stock is accompanied by one right (a
"Right") issued pursuant to a share purchase rights agreement between Federated
and The Bank of New York, as Rights Agent (the "Share Purchase Rights
Agreement").  Each Right entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase from
Federated one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Shares"), of
Federated at a price (the "Purchase Price") of $62.50 per one one-hundredth of a
Series A Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.

   Until the earliest to occur of the following dates (the earliest of such
dates being hereinafter called the "Rights Distribution Date"), the Rights will
be evidenced by the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock: (i) the
close of business on the tenth business day (or such later date as may be
specified by the Board of Directors of Federated) following the first date of
public announcement by Federated that a person (other than Federated or a
subsidiary or employee benefit or stock ownership plan of Federated), together
with its affiliates and associates, has acquired, or obtained the right to
acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock
(any such person being hereinafter called an "Acquiring Person"); (ii) the close
of business on the tenth business day (or such later date as may be specified by
the Board of Directors of Federated) following the commencement of a tender
offer or exchange offer by a person (other than Federated or a subsidiary or
employee benefit or stock ownership plan of Federated), the consummation of
which would result in beneficial ownership by such person of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock; and (iii) the close of business on the tenth business
day following the first date of public announcement by Federated that a Flip-in
Event or a Flip-over Event (as such terms are hereinafter defined) has occurred.

   The Share Purchase Rights Agreement provides that, until the Rights
Distribution Date, the Rights may be transferred with and only with the Common
Stock.  Until the Rights Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration
of the Rights), any certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock issued upon
transfer or new issuance of Common Stock will contain a notation incorporating
the Share Purchase Rights Agreement by reference.  Until the Rights Distribution
Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender for
transfer of any certificates evidencing Common Stock will also constitute the
transfer of the Rights associated with such certificates.  As soon as
practicable following the Rights Distribution Date, separate certificates
evidencing the Rights ("Rights Certificates") will be mailed to holders of
record of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Rights














                                      -15-

Distribution Date and such separate Rights Certificates alone will evidence the
Rights.  No Right is exercisable at any time prior to the Rights Distribution
Date.  The Rights will expire on December 19, 2004 (the "Final Expiration Date")
unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by Federated as described below.  Until a
Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a
stockholder of Federated, including without limitation the right to vote or to
receive dividends.

   The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Series A Preferred Shares or
other securities issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment
from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on,
or a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of, the Series A Preferred
Shares, (ii) upon the grant to holders of the Series A Preferred Shares of
certain rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Series A Preferred
Shares at a price, or securities convertible into Series A Preferred Shares with
a conversion price, less than the then-current market price of the Series A
Preferred Shares, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares of evidences of indebtedness or cash (excluding regular
periodic cash dividends), assets, or stock (excluding dividends payable in
Series A Preferred Shares) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than
those referred to above).  The number of outstanding Rights and the number of
one one-hundredths of a Series A Preferred Share issuable upon exercise of each
Right also is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend on the
Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision, combination, or
reclassification of the Common Stock occurring, in any such case, prior to the
Rights Distribution Date.

   The Series A Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of the Rights will not
be redeemable.  Each Series A Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum
preferential quarterly dividend payment equal to the greater of (i) $1.00 per
share and (ii) an amount equal to 100 times the aggregate dividends declared per
share of Common Stock during the related quarter.  In the event of liquidation,
the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to a preferential
liquidation payment equal to the greater of (a) $100 per share and (b) an amount
equal to 100 times the liquidation payment made per share of Common Stock.  Each
Series A Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the Common
Stock.  In the event of any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which
shares of Common Stock are exchanged, each Series A Preferred Share will be
entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per share of Common Stock. 
These rights will be protected by customary antidilution provisions.  Because of
the nature of the Series A Preferred Shares' dividend, voting and liquidation
rights, the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a Series A Preferred














                                      -16-




<PAGE>






Share purchasable upon exercise of each Right should approximate the value of
one share of Common Stock.

   Rights may be exercised to purchase Series A Preferred Shares only after the
Rights Distribution Date occurs and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event
or Flip-over Event.  A Rights Distribution Date resulting from the commencement
of a tender offer or exchange offer described in clause (ii) of the definition
of "Rights Distribution Date" could precede the occurrence of a Flip-in Event or
Flip-over Event and thus result in the Rights being exercisable to purchase
Series A Preferred Shares.  A Rights Distribution Date resulting from any
occurrence described in clause (i) or clause (iii) of the definition of "Rights
Distribution Date" would necessarily follow the occurrence of a Flip-in Event or
Flip-over Event and thus result in the Rights being exercisable to purchase
shares of Common Stock or other securities as described below.

   In the event (a "Flip-in Event") that (i) any person, together with its
affiliates and associates, becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock, (ii) any Acquiring Person merges into or combines with
Federated and Federated is the surviving corporation or any Acquiring Person
effects certain other transactions with Federated, as described in the Share
Purchase Rights Agreement, or (iii) during such time as there is an Acquiring
Person, there is any reclassification of securities or recapitalization or
reorganization of Federated which has the effect of increasing by more than 1%
the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity
securities of Federated or any of its subsidiaries beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right,
other than Rights that are or were owned beneficially by the Acquiring Person
(which, from and after the later of the Rights Distribution Date and the date of
the earliest of any such events, will be void), will thereafter have the right
to receive upon exercise thereof at the then-current exercise price of the
Right, that number of shares of Common Stock (or, under certain circumstances,
an economically equivalent security or securities of Federated) that have a
market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

   In the event (a "Flip-over Event") that, following the first date of public
announcement by Federated that a person has become an Acquiring Person, (i)
Federated merges with or into any person and Federated is not the surviving
corporation, (ii) any person merges with or into Federated and Federated is the
surviving corporation, but all or part of the Common Stock is changed or
exchanged, or (iii) 50% or more of Federated's assets or earning power,
including without limitation securities creating obligations of Federated, are
sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right will
thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof













                                      -17-




<PAGE>






at the then-current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common
stock (or, under certain circumstances, an economically equivalent security or
securities) of such other person which at the time of such transaction would
have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

   Following the occurrence of any Flip-in Event or Flip-over Event, Rights
(other than any Rights which have become void) may be exercised as described
above, upon payment of the exercise price or, at the option of the holder
thereof, without the payment of the exercise price that would otherwise be
payable.  If a holder of Rights elects to exercise Rights without the payment of
the exercise price that would otherwise be payable, such holder will be entitled
to receive upon the exercise of such Rights securities having a market value
equal to the exercise price of the Rights.  In addition, at any time after the
later of the Rights Distribution Date and the first occurrence of a Flip-in
Event or a Flip-over Event and prior to the acquisition by any person or group
of affiliated or associated persons of 50% or more of the outstanding Common
Stock, Federated may exchange the Rights (other than any Rights which have
become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common
Stock per Right (subject to adjustment).

   With certain exceptions, no adjustments in the Purchase Price will be
required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment in the Purchase
Price of at least 1%.  Federated is not required to issue fractional Series A
Preferred Shares (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-
hundredth of a Series A Preferred Share, which may, at the option of Federated,
be evidenced by depositary receipts) or fractional shares of Common Stock or
other securities issuable upon the exercise of Rights.  In lieu of issuing such
securities, Federated may make a cash payment, as provided in the Share Purchase
Rights Agreement.

   Federated may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of
$0.03 per Right, subject to adjustment and, in the event that the payment of
such amount would be prohibited by loan agreements or indentures to which
Federated is a party, deferral (the "Redemption Price"), at any time prior to
the close of business on the later of (i) the Rights Distribution Date and (ii)
the first date of public announcement that a person has become an Acquiring
Person.  Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise
the Rights will terminate and the holders will have only the right to receive
the Redemption Price.

   The Share Purchase Rights Agreement may be amended by Federated without the
approval of any holders of Rights, including amendments which add other events
requiring adjustment to the Purchase Price payable and the number of













                                      -18-




<PAGE>






Series A Preferred Shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of the
Rights which modify procedures relating to the redemption of the Rights,
provided that no amendment may be made which decreases the stated Redemption
Price to an amount less than $0.01 per Right, decreases the period of time
remaining until the Final Expiration Date, or modifies a time period relating to
when the Rights may be redeemed at such time as the Rights are not then
redeemable.

Certain Corporate Governance Matters

   Federated's certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that the
directors of Federated are to be classified into three classes, with the
directors in each class serving for three-year terms and until their successors
are elected.  Any additional person elected to the Board of Directors of
Federated will be added to a particular class of directors to be determined at
the time of such election, although in accordance with Federated's certificate
of incorporation and by-laws, the number of directors in each class will be
identical or as nearly as practicable thereto based on the total number of
directors then serving as such.

   Federated's by-laws provide that nominations for election of directors by the
stockholders will be made by the Board of Directors of Federated or by any
stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. 
Federated's by-laws require that stockholders intending to nominate candidates
for election as directors deliver written notice thereof to the Secretary of
Federated not later than 60 calendar days in advance of the meeting of
stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the meeting
is not publicly announced by Federated by inclusion in a report filed with the
Commission or furnished to stockholders, or by mail, press release, or otherwise
more than 75 calendar days prior to the meeting, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be delivered to the Secretary of Federated not later than the close
of business on the tenth day following the date on which such announcement of
the date of the meeting was so communicated.  Federated's by-laws further
require that the notice by the stockholder set forth certain information
concerning such stockholder and the stockholder's nominees, including their
names and addresses, a representation that the stockholder is entitled to vote
at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to
nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, a description of all
arrangements or understandings between the stockholders and each nominee, such
other information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of the nominees of such stockholder, and the
consent of each nominee to serve as a director of Federated if so elected.  The
chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge













                                      -19-




<PAGE>






the nomination of any person not made in compliance with these requirements.

   In addition to the provisions relating to the classification of the Board of
Directors and the director nomination procedures described above, Federated's
certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide, in general, that (i) the
number of directors of Federated will be fixed, within a specified range, by a
majority of the total number of Federated's directors (assuming no vacancies) or
by the holders of at least 80% of Federated's voting stock, (ii) the directors
of Federated in office from time to time will fill any vacancy or newly created
directorship on the Board of Directors of Federated with any new director to
serve in the class of directors to which he or she is so elected, (iii)
directors of Federated may be removed only for cause by the holders of at least
80% of Federated's voting stock, (iv) stockholder action can be taken only at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent in lieu of
a meeting, (v) except as described below, special meetings of stockholders may
be called only by Federated's Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the
total number of directors of Federated (assuming no vacancies) and the business
permitted to be conducted at any such meeting is limited to that brought before
the meeting by Federated's Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the total
number of directors of Federated (assuming no vacancies), and (vi) subject to
certain exceptions, the Board of Directors of Federated may postpone and
reschedule any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders. 
Federated's by-laws also require that stockholders desiring to bring any
business before an annual meeting of stockholders deliver written notice thereof
to the Secretary of Federated not later than 60 calendar days in advance of the
meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of
the meeting is not publicly announced by Federated by press release or inclusion
in a report filed with the SEC or furnished to stockholders more than 75
calendar days prior to the meeting, notice by the stockholders to be timely must
be delivered to the Secretary of Federated not later than the close of business
on the tenth calendar day following the day on which such announcement of the
date of the meeting was so communicated.  Federated's by-laws further require
that the notice by the stockholder set forth a description of the business to be
brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and certain information concerning the stockholder proposing such
business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made
including their names and addresses, the class and number of shares of
Federated, that are owned beneficially and of record by each of them, and any
material interest of either of them in the business proposed to be brought
before the meeting.  Upon the written request of the holders of not less than
15% of Federated's voting stock, the















                                      -20-




<PAGE>






Board of Directors of Federated will be required to call a meeting of
stockholders for the purpose specified in such written request and fix a record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at
such meeting (which record date may not be later than 60 calendar days after the
date of receipt of notice of such meeting), provided that in the event that the
Board or Directors of Federated calls an annual or special meeting of
stockholders to be held not later than 90 calendar days after receipt of any
such written request, no separate special meeting of stockholders as so
requested will be required to be convened provided that the purposes of such
annual or special meeting called by the Board of Directors of Federated include
(among others) the purposes specified in such written request of the
stockholders.

   Under applicable provisions of Delaware law, the approval of a Delaware
company's board of directors, in addition to stockholder approval, is required
to adopt any amendment to the company's certificate of incorporation, but a
company's by-laws may be amended either by action of its stockholders or, if the
company's certificate of incorporation so provides, its board of directors. 
Federated's certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide that (i) except as
described below, the provisions summarized above and the provisions relating to
the classification of the Board and nominating procedures may not be amended by
the stockholders, nor may any provision inconsistent therewith be adopted by the
stockholders, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of
Federated's voting stock, voting together as single class, except that if any
such action (other than any direct or indirect amendments to the provision
requiring that stockholder action be taken at a meeting of stockholders rather
than by written consent in lieu of a meeting) is approved by the holders of a
majority, but less than 80%, of the then-outstanding voting stock (in addition
to any other approvals require by law, including approval by the Board of
Directors of Federated with respect to any amendment to Federated's certificate
of incorporation), such action will be effective as of one year from the date of
adoption, or (ii) Federated's by-law provisions relating to the right of
stockholders to cause special meetings of stockholders to be called and to the
composition of certain directorate committees may not be amended by the Board
without stockholder approval.

   Federated is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which restricts the
consummation of certain business combination transactions in certain
circumstances.  In addition, Federated's certificate of incorporation contains
provisions that are substantially similar to those contained in Section 203 of
the DGCL that restrict business combination transactions with (i) any person or
group that became or is deemed to have become the beneficial owner of 15% or
more of the voting stock of Federated as a result of its receipt of Common Stock
or












                                      -21-




<PAGE>






warrants pursuant to the plan of reorganization that thereafter becomes the
beneficial owner of an additional 1% or more of the voting stock of Federated
and (ii) any other person or group that becomes the beneficial owner of 15% more
of the voting stock of Federated.

   The foregoing provisions of Federated's certificate of incorporation, the
provisions of its by-laws relating to advance notice of stockholder nominations,
and the provisions of the Share Purchase Rights Agreement (see "--Preferred 
Share Purchase Rights") may discourage or make more difficult the acquisition of
control of Federated by means of a tender offer, open market purchase, proxy
contest, or otherwise.  These provisions are intended to discourage or may have
the effect of discouraging certain types of coercive takeover practices and
inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of
Federated first to negotiate with Federated.  Federated's management believes
that the foregoing measures, many of which are substantially similar to the
takeover-related measures in effect for many other publicly held companies,
provide benefits by enhancing Federated's potential ability to negotiate with
the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to take over or
restructure Federated that outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such
proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could
result in an improvement of their terms.

		       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Broadway Stores, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, of cash flows and of shareholders' equity
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Broadway
Stores, Inc. (formerly known as Carter Hawley Hale Stores, Inc.) and its
subsidiaries at January 28, 1995 and January 29, 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the fiscal years ended January 28, 1995 and
January 29, 1994 and the seventeen weeks ended January 30, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits 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
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements referred to above also
included an audit of the accompanying Financial Statement Schedule VIII for
the fiscal years ended January 29, 1995 and January 28, 1994 and the
seventeen weeks ended January 30, 1993. In our opinion, this Financial
Statement Schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated 
financial statements.

As discussed in the Reorganization and Basis of Reporting section of the Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies, on September 14, 1992, the United States
Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's plan of reorganization.  The plan of
reorganization, which was effective October 8, 1992, resulted in the discharge
of all claims against the Company which arose prior to February 11, 1991 and
substantially altered the rights and interests of the existing equity security
holders.  The Company utilized fresh start reporting as of October 3, 1992 to
account for the effects of the reorganization.

utilized fresh start reporting as of October 3, 1992 to account for the effects
of the reorganization.

As discussed in the Change in Accounting Policy section of the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes in the thirty-five week period ended October 3, 1992.

		  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Reorganization

   On February 11, 1991 (the "Petition Date"), the Company filed a petition (the
"Filing") for relief under Chapter 11  of the Bankruptcy Code in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the "Bankruptcy
Court").  The Company subsequently managed its affairs and operated its business
under Chapter 11 as a debtor-in-possession while a plan of reorganization was
formulated.

   On July 28, 1992, the Company's plan of reorganization ("POR"), which was
supported by the largest secured and unsecured creditors and the official
committee of the equity security holders, was filed with the Bankruptcy Court.
The POR was subsequently confirmed at the Bankruptcy Court hearing held on
September 14, 1992 and became effective October 8, 1992 (the "Emergence Date").

   The POR provided for the conversion of substantially all unsecured claims
into 27.6 million shares of Common Stock, the conversion of all common stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Emergence Date ("Old Common Stock") into
2.4 million shares of newly-issued common stock of the Company ("Common Stock")
and a combined total of 2.5 million of convertible warrants or shares of
preferred stock, and the conversion of accrued interest under certain secured
debt agreements into secured long-term obligations in accordance with the
related settlement agreements.

   Pursuant to the POR, Zell/Chilmark Fund, L.P. ("Zell/Chilmark"), the
Company's largest unsecured creditor, received 21.2 million shares of Common
Stock in settlement of approximately $461.0 million of unsecured claims on the
Emergence Date.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Postpetition Store
Modernization Facility Conversion Agreement (the "Conversion Agreement"),
Zell/Chilmark and an institutional investor each acquired an additional 2.5
million shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share.  As of the
Emergence Date, 32.4 million shares of Common Stock were issued pursuant to the
POR and the Conversion Agreement, of which Zell/Chilmark owned 73.2 percent.  As
of January 28, 1995 Zell/Chilmark owned approximately 53.9% of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock.

Basis of Reporting

   The financial statements for the 35 week period ended October 3, 1992 (the
"Effective Date") reflect the Company's emergence from Chapter 11 and were
prepared utilizing the principles of fresh-start reporting contained in American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" (the
"Reorganization Statement").

   Operations during the period from October 3, 1992 through the Emergence Date
had no significant impact on the emergence transactions and as a result have not
been separately identified.  The financial statements for periods subsequent to
October 3, 1992 have been segregated from those for prior periods by a solid
double line to reflect the significant change in reporting entity resulting from
the application of fresh start reporting.

Fiscal Year

   The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31.

                                       7

Change in Accounting Policy

   During 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). Prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 109, the Company accounted for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 96 ("SFAS No. 96"). Both SFAS No. 109 and
SFAS No. 96 require the use of the liability method of accounting for income
taxes and require the adjustment of previously recorded deferred tax liabilities
and assets for the effects of changes in tax laws or rates through the date of
the latest financial statements presented. SFAS No. 109 changed the criteria for
recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and allowed the Company to
recognize certain benefits resulting from net operating loss carryforwards for
which no benefit could be recognized under SFAS 96. The cumulative effect of the
change on prior years was a gain of $18.8 million, which has been reflected in
net earnings for the first quarter of 1992.

Sales

   Sales are net of returns, exclude sales tax, and comprise sales of
merchandise, services, and leased departments.  Leased department sales were
$116.5 million in 1994, $210.7 million in 1993, $88.5 million for the seventeen
week period ended January 30, 1993, and $139.3 million for the thirty-five week
period ended October 3, 1992.  In May 1994, the leased shoe department was
converted from a third party operation into an owned department.

Customer Accounts Receivable

   An account is generally written-off when the aggregate of payments made in
the most recent six months is less than one full monthly scheduled payment, or
when it is otherwise determined that the account is uncollectible.

Inventories

   Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, as
determined by the retail method on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis.  For
periods subsequent to the Effective Date, the Company utilized internally
developed inflation indices in the computation of LIFO inventories.  Prior to
the Effective Date, the Company utilized the inflation indices published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment additions are recorded at cost and include major
renewals and improvements which significantly add to productive capacity or
extend the useful life of an asset.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed.

Depreciation and Amortization

   Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment, or over the terms of
the related leases, if shorter.  Debt acquisition costs are amortized over the
life of the related debt.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

   Advertising and promotional costs are generally expensed as incurred except
for certain costs which are deferred over the term of the promotion, generally
three months or less.  Advertising costs charged to expense were $72.5 million
in fiscal 1994, $71.7 million in fiscal 1993, $31.6 million for the seventeen
week period ended January 30, 1993 and $47.9 million for the thirty-five week
period ended October 3, 1992.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Income Taxes

   Income taxes are recorded in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" which requires the
recognition of a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences and a
deferred tax asset for deductible temporary differences.  A valuation allowance
is established when, based on the weight of available evidence, it appears more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

   Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the period, including dilutive stock options and
all 35.0 million shares of Common Stock expected to be issued in accordance with
the POR. As of January 28, 1995, 1.0 million shares remain to be issued in
accordance with the POR.  Per share data for periods prior to October 3, 1992
have been omitted as these amounts do not reflect the current capital structure.

Non-recurring Costs

   A significant number of the Company's Southern California stores suffered
damage as a result of the major earthquake which affected that area on January
17, 1994.  While most of the area stores were reopened within two weeks, four
stores suffered extensive damage and were closed for repairs for periods of 4 to
10 months.  The Company maintains earthquake and business interruption insurance
with standard deductible provisions that require the Company to incur an initial
level of costs at each location subject to damage or interruption of business.
In January 1994, the company established a reserve of $65.4 million to cover
costs of building and fixture repairs, inventory and business interruption
losses, and other costs related to the earthquake.  As of January 29, 1994,
$17.1 million of the reserve had been utilized with the remainder being utilized
during fiscal 1994.  In addition, a $50.4 million receivable was established for
estimated insurance recoveries resulting in a $15.0 million non-recurring charge
being recognized in 1993 for earthquake related losses in excess of estimated
insurance proceeds.  During 1994, $35.4 million in insurance payments have been
received and an additional receivable of $10.0 million was established at year-
end for anticipated recoveries for additional capital expenditures.  The reserve
utilization and insurance proceeds received are reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows and are included as other net changes in operating
assets and liabilities. The $15.0 non-recurring charge recognized in January
1994, in management's opinion, continues to be adequate to cover earthquake
losses in excess of estimated insurance proceeds.

   During 1993, the Company recorded $30.0 million in non-recurring charges
associated with one-time costs incurred in the implementation of the strategic
plan to streamline the Company.  The charge comprised severance and other
benefit costs incurred from staff reductions, related consulting fees, and the
costs of implementing other efficiencies under the plan.

Reorganization Income and Costs

   In accordance with the Reorganization Statement, income and costs directly
related to the reorganization have been segregated and are separately disclosed.
The major components are as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
					      Period Ended
					     --------------
					     October 3, 1992
(In millions)                                  (35 Weeks)
- ------------------------------------------------------------
<S>                                         <C>
Adjustments to fair value                        $906.4
Provision for settlement of disputed claims        (8.5)
Professional fees and other expenditures
 directly related to the Filing                   (13.8)
						 ------
						 $884.1
						 ======
</TABLE>

   The adjustments to fair value reflected the effects of the revaluation of
assets and liabilities in accordance with the Reorganization Statement.  These
adjustments included the $283.4 million write-up of fixed assets, the net
increase of $3.5 million in other balance sheet items and the elimination of the
remaining $619.5 million accumulated deficit in shareholders' equity.

   The provision for settlement of disputed claims represented management's
estimate of the net amount required to cover all outstanding disputed claims
included in liabilities subject to settlement based on facts and circumstances
at that time.

                                       10

Gain on Debt Discharge

   The gain on debt discharge reflected the conversion of $600.0 million of
liabilities subject to settlement into $276.0 million of shareholders' equity
resulting in a $324.0 million gain.  The gain is presented net of write-offs and
costs associated with the repayment of borrowings on the Effective Date.

Interest Expense, Net

   The components of interest expense are as follows:

   Interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, were $58.9 in 1994, $63.8
million in 1993, $34.0 million in the seventeen week period ended January 30,
1993, and $32.8 million in the thirty-five week period ended October 3, 1992.

   As a result of the Filing, interest payments during bankruptcy were limited
to amounts due under the Post-petition Credit Agreement, the Interim Receivables
Facility (during its existence), the Post-petition Receivables Securitization
Facility, and the interest element of capital lease payments made.  During
bankruptcy, interest continued to accrue on the Company's secured mortgage debt
but no payments were made.  Both  the accrual of interest and amortization of
debt issuance costs on the Company's subordinated debt ceased at the Filing.
Unaccrued interest on the subordinated debt amounted to $29.2 million in the
thirty-five weeks ended October 3, 1992.  In accordance with the POR, the
liability for such unaccrued interest was cancelled with no payment due.

   Commitment fees totalling $1.8 million in the thirty-five week period ended
October 3, 1992 were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Such fees are reported as a component of interest expense for periods subsequent
to the Effective Date.

Income Taxes

   The $.2 million tax provision for the current year ended January 28, 1995
reflects state franchise taxes not measured by or based upon income.  The tax
effect of the current year loss was offset by an addition to the SFAS 109
valuation allowance and, accordingly, no income tax provision was recorded.
Similarly, no income tax provision was recognized for the year ended January 29,
1994.

   Income taxes for 1992 were required to be separately computed for the pre-
and post-reorganization periods.  The $6.8 million tax benefit recognized for
the thirty-five week period ended October 3, 1992 reflects the reversal of
certain tax reserves on favorable resolution of income tax audits for tax years
through July 1990.

   The estimated federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of
$619.0 million and $261.0 million, respectively, expire in years 2004 through
2009, and 1996 through 2002.  As of the bankruptcy Emergence Date, the Company
experienced a change of ownership which may have the effect of restricting the
Company's ability to utilize losses.  The California net operating loss
carryforward period was legislatively reduced to five years effective for losses
generated in and subsequent to 1993.  This change may further restrict the
Company's ability to utilize its loss carryforwards.

   The federal and California credit carryforwards of $3.6 million and $6.9
million, respectively, expire in years 2002 through 2005, and 2007 through 2009.
The federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $1.0 million carries
over indefinitely.

   Tax payments were $.4 million in 1994, $.2 million in 1993, $.2 million and
$.1 million in the seventeen and thirty-five week periods comprising the fifty-
two week period ended January 30, 1993.

</TABLE>

   The Company's proprietary credit card penetration has eroded 3.0% from 52.0%
of gross sales in the thirty-five week period ended October 3, 1992 to 49.0% in
the current year.  In part, this reflects the impact of the Company's
approximately 85% sales concentration in California which continues to
experience economic weakness, resulting in lower levels of consumer confidence
and decreased total credit sales.  In addition, it reflects the wider use of
third party bank cards.  Current year write-offs at 2.2% of credit sales
improved from 2.5% for the fifty-two week period ended January 29, 1994
reflecting improved collections and the effect of easing minimum payment
requirements.  Since the decline in write-offs is partially attributable to the
temporary favorable impact of reduced minimum payments, the allowance for
doubtful accounts continues to be carried at 3.0% of customer receivables
outstanding.

Inventories

   The LIFO method of accounting resulted in a credit to cost of goods sold of
$3.5 million in the current year compared to credits of $8.9 million in 1993 and
$1.9 million for the seventeen weeks ended January 30, 1993 and a charge of $7.1
million for the thirty-five weeks ended October 3, 1992.  If all inventories had
been valued on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis, they would have been
lower at each period end by $14.3 million at January 28, 1995, $10.8 million at
January 29, 1994 and $1.9 million at January 30, 1993.

   In accordance with the principles of fresh start reporting, merchandise
inventories at October 3, 1992 were restated at fair market value, resulting in
elimination of the LIFO reserve at that date.

Leases

   Certain Company operations are conducted in leased properties, which include
retail stores, distribution centers, and office facilities.  Leases are
generally for periods of up to thirty years, with renewal options for
substantial periods.  Leases are generally at fixed rental rates, except that
certain leases provide for additional rental charges based on sales in excess of
predetermined levels.

   Capital expenditures in the past three years have been focused on
modernization of stores and support facilities.  Expenditures include
renovating, expanding, and re-equipping existing stores and expenditures for
improvements and fixtures for administrative facilities and distribution
centers.

   Depreciation expenses included in selling, general and administrative
expenses were $32.1 million in 1994, $25.7 in 1993, $8.0 million for the
seventeen week period ended January 30, 1993, and $21.5 million for the thirty-
five week period ended October 3, 1992.

Credit Facility

   Working capital financing is provided under a General Electric Capital
Corporation ("GE Capital") facility (the "Credit Facility") which matures
October 8, 1996.  The facility provides for up to $225.0 million in working
capital borrowings secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of the
Company's tangible and intangible personal property.  Interest is computed at a
rate equivalent to one and one-half percent above the GE Capital index rate. In
addition, the facility includes a commitment fee of one-half percent on the
unused portion of the credit line and requires the payment of administrative
fees and line-of-credit fees equivalent to 2.375 percent of the face amount of
letter-of-credit obligations.  In addition, the facility includes restrictions
on capital expenditures and the payment of dividends and includes covenants for
material adverse changes, minimum aggregate net cash flow and earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  As of January 28, 1995, there
were $11.7 million in advances and $48.7 million in letters of credit
outstanding under the facility.

   Up to $575.0 million in receivables based financing is provided under a
receivables facility provided by GE Capital.  The GE Capital facility provides
for Blue-Hawk Funding Corporation, a limited purpose corporation not affiliated
with the Company, to acquire interests in the Company's credit card receivables
and pay for these interests through the issuance of commercial paper.
Outstanding borrowings under the facility, which are secured by the Company's
customer receivables, accrue interest at the A-1/P-1 commercial paper rate plus
1.08%.  At January 28, 1995, the interest rate for borrowings under the facility
was 7.3%.

   A private placement of an additional $64.0 million in receivables based
financing is provided under  subordinated asset backed notes (the "Asset Backed
Notes") completed in September 1994.  The notes were issued in two classes:
$38.0 million of 7.55% Class A notes due in 1999 and $26.0 million of 11.0%
Class B notes due 1999.  The notes are redeemable at the option of the Company,
in whole or in part, on each interest payment date on or after October 15, 1994
and on October 8, 1996 at a redemption price combining principal, accrued
interest, unpaid interest, and a make-whole premium.

   On December 31, 1991,the Company and Prudential concluded the Prudential
Settlement Agreement with respect to the $344.0 million of notes (the "Existing
Notes") due 1993 to 1997.  The Prudential Settlement Agreement, which became
effective on October 8, 1992, extended the maturity of the notes for five years
to October 2002.  In addition, previously accrued and unpaid interest and
certain other charges totalling $53.4 million were capitalized into a 9 percent
note (the "Accrued Interest Note").  Principal payments on the Accrued Interest
Note will commence in November 1997, continuing in equal monthly installments
through October 2002.  Although the Existing Notes continued to accrue interest
at the blended contract rate of 10.67 percent during the first two years
following the Emergence Date, the Company was only required to pay interest at a
lower rate of 7.5 percent (the "Pay Rate").  The difference between the Pay Rate
and the blended contract rate amounted to $23.8 million and was capitalized
under the terms of the Accrued Interest Note with principal payments commencing
in November 1997 and continuing in equal installments over the remaining life of
the notes.

   On July 28, 1992, the Company and Bank of America NT&SA ("BofA") concluded
the BofA Settlement Agreement with respect to the $89.7 million of term loans
due in 1995. The BofA Settlement Agreement, which became effective on October 8,
1992, extends the maturity of the term loans for four years to June 1999.  In
accordance with the BofA Settlement Agreement, interest from October 8, 1992
through June 30, 1995, will be payable at LIBOR plus .625 percent and thereafter
at LIBOR plus 1.25 percent.

   On December 21, 1993, the Company issued and sold $143.75 million of 6.25%
Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due December 31, 2000 (the "Convertible
Notes").  Prior to the maturity date, the notes are convertible at the option of
the holder into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $12.19 per
share, subject to adjustment in certain events.  The notes are redeemable at the
option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on and after December
31, 1998, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
together with accrued and unpaid interest.  The notes do not provide for any
sinking fund.  Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Registration
Statement), holders of the Convertible Notes will have the right, subject to
certain restrictions and conditions, to require the Company to purchase all or
any part of the notes at the principal amount thereof together with accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of purchase.

   Principal maturities of other secured long-term debt payable over the next
five years are $3.6 million in 1995, $5.4 million in 1996, $9.8 million in 1997,
$21.6 million in 1998, $95.4 million in 1999, with $390.3 million due
thereafter.  This debt is secured by property with a net carrying value of
$491.9 million.

   The Company's debt agreements include restrictions on capital expenditures
and covenants for minimum aggregate net cash flow and earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 ("SFAS No. 107") requires
the disclosure of fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical
to estimate that value.  The Company's various long term debt liabilities
constitute the only financial instruments with a potential carrying value
different from fair value.  Each class of financial instrument requires
different methods of estimating fair value as described below.

   Receivables based financing - Financing under the receivables facility of
   $509.1 million bear interest at floating rates which reflect short-term
   market rate changes and are assumed to have a book value that approximates
   fair value.  The $64.0 million of asset backed notes were issued in a
   September 1994 private placement and their fair value is assumed not to have
   changed significantly at year-end.

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
   Other Secured long-term debt - Management believes that no practicable method
   exists for establishing a current fair value for the $526.1 million secured
   long-term debt because arrangements with similar terms would not have been
   negotiable outside of bankruptcy proceedings.  Discounting assumptions are
   likewise not ascertainable as each lender has a unique perception of fair
   value depending on their unique assessment of credit risk, their targeted
   investment goals and their relationship to the Company.  Except for the $89.7
   million of borrowings which bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.625%, all other
   borrowings are at fixed rates from 8.25% to 10.67%.

   Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes - These notes were issued in a private
   placement during December 1993.  Since these notes are privately held, there
   is no readily ascertainable market value for these notes.  The fair value of
   these notes cannot be compared to other publicly traded securities because
   the notes are unique with respect to the conversion price, relationship to
   stock price, maturity date, and interest rate.

Retirement Plans

   The Company has two qualified noncontributory pension plans covering
substantially all employees.  Employees who have completed one year of
employment, are at least 21 years of age, and are not covered by a collectively
bargained pension plan, are covered by the plans and become vested for benefit
purposes after completing five years of employment with the Company.  The
Company also has unfunded nonqualified pension plans covering certain employees
and directors.  The Company contributes at least the actuarially determined
minimum amount necessary to fund participants' benefits in accordance with the
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

   Periodically, changes in the business environment cause management to revise
significant actuarial assumptions used in the development of the pension plans
funded status and for computation of pension expense.  As of January 29, 1994,
the discount factor used to compute the present value of pension liabilities was
reduced from 8.5 percent to 7.25 percent, reflecting the reduction in long-term
rates experienced during 1993.  Lower actual and expected rates of inflation
also resulted in reductions to the long-term rate of return on assets from 9.5
percent to 9.25 percent and in the projected rate of compensation increases from
5.0 percent to 4.5 percent.  In fiscal 1994, a market reversal of long-term
interest rate trends caused the Company to revise the discount factor back to
8.5 percent, effective January 28, 1995.

   The assumption changes made effective January 29, 1994 resulted in a $27.1
million increase to the pension liability at that date, of which $14.3 million
was charged directly to equity as a separate component of the Total Accumulated
Deficit.  The January 28, 1995 revision to the discount rate resulted in a $28.5
million decrease in the current year end pension liability of which $8.0 million
was credited directly to equity as a separate component of the Total Accumulated
Deficit.

</TABLE>

   As of January 28, 1995, the $90.7 million unfunded projected benefit
obligation consisted of $56.2 million relating to the qualified plans and $34.5
million relating to the nonqualified plans.

   Certain retired employees also receive health care and life insurance
benefits which are subsidized to varying degrees by the Company.  The post-
retirement medical benefits are available only to employees who had retired or
were eligible to retire by August 1, 1991 and who had met all other plan
eligibility requirements.  A life insurance benefit of $1,000 per employee is
provided by the Company to all eligible current and retired employees.
Additional life insurance benefits are also provided to a select group of
executives.  The executive life benefits were amended effective January 1993, to
reduce the amount of coverage post-retirement, based on age.  The amendment
which applies to both current retirees and eligible plan participants resulted
in a $1.9 million reduction to the January 30, 1993 accumulated benefit
obligation.  This gain is being amortized as a reduction in post-retirement
benefit expense on a straight line basis over a ten year period representing the
average service period to full eligibility for  this benefit.

</TABLE>

   The postretirement medical and life insurance benefits are provided under
nonqualified plans.  The accumulated benefit obligation represents the present
value of expected future payments discounted at 8.5 percent.  Medical inflation
has been projected at a blended rate of eleven percent per annum for fiscal
1995, declining by 2002 to a long term rate of approximately six and one-half
percent per annum.  The effect of a one-percentage-point increase in the assumed
medical cost trend rate would be to increase the net periodic medical plan
expense by $.2 million and to increase the related accumulated benefit
obligation by $2.3 million.

   The Company's 401(k) Savings and Investment Plan is available to
substantially all employees who have completed one year of service.  For
eligible participant contributions made after March 1993, the Company provides a
25 percent matching contribution in the form of newly issued shares of Company
common stock.

   At January 28, 1995, the plan held .5 million shares of Common Stock
representing 1.1 percent of common stock outstanding or still issuable under the
POR and .5 million shares of preferred stock representing 55.7 percent of
preferred shares outstanding or still issuable under the POR.

Employee Stock Incentive Plans

   The Company has a long-term incentive compensation plan designed to attract
and retain top-quality management.  The plan, among other things, provides for
the issuance of stock options at an exercise price that is generally not less
than the market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  During the
fiscal year ended January 28, 1995, 1.1 million options were awarded and 82,466
options were exercised under the plan.  As of January 28, 1995, 2.4 million
options were outstanding and exercisable at exercise prices ranging from $9.125
to $14.00.  The options, which vest in one-third increments over three years,
are exercisable over a ten year period, generally beginning one year from the
date of grant.

Contingencies

   Notwithstanding the confirmation and effectiveness of the POR, the Bankruptcy
Court continues to have jurisdiction to, among other things, resolve disputed
prepetition claims against the Company and to resolve other matters that may
arise in connection with or relate to the POR.

   Pursuant to the POR, the Company was required to distribute .046 shares of
Common Stock for each $1.00 of allowed general unsecured claims.  The POR
estimated the total amount of such claims to be approximately $600.0 million,
against which the Company reserved 27.6 million shares of Common Stock.  As of
January 28, 1995, approximately $28.6 million of disputed claims remained
outstanding.  Management believes such claims will ultimately be allowed upon
settlement or litigation for approximately $10.0 million, for which the Company
has reserved approximately .8 million shares which are included in the Company's
calculation of its outstanding Common Stock.  Management believes that reserved
shares of Common Stock will be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations to
such claim holders.  If all disputed claims were allowed in full, such claim
holders would be entitled to a total of 1.3 million shares of Common Stock,
compared to the .8 million shares reserved, resulting in a dilution to holders
of outstanding Common Stock of approximately 1%.  Management regularly evaluates
the status of remaining disputed claims and claim settlement experience and
accordingly would adjust its estimate of the number of shares to be reserved for
issuance with respect to such claims if necessary.

   The Company is engaged in an ongoing effort to resolve these remaining
disputed claims.  Because of the disputed nature of these claims and the delays
associated with litigation generally, Management anticipates that the settlement
of these claims is likely to occur over an extended period of time.

   The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to the
normal course of business.  Management does not expect that any of such other
proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Preferred Stock and Warrants

   Pursuant to the POR, shares of Series A exchangeable preferred stock, par
value $.01 ("Preferred Stock") or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock
("Warrants") were issuable to existing holders of Old Common Stock at a rate of
 .084 for each share of Old Common Stock held.  The Company does not intend to
have the preferred stock listed for trading on any national securities exchange
or other national automated quotation system.  The Warrants have been registered
and listed for trading on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges.

   At the option of the holders of Preferred Stock, shares of Preferred Stock
are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis to Warrants to purchase Common Stock.
During 1994, approximately 96,000 shares of Preferred Stock were converted to
warrants.  The Company does not expect ever to pay a dividend with respect to
the Preferred Stock.  In the event of dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up,
the holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $0.25
per share from assets remaining after the full satisfaction of the prior rights
of creditors.  As of January 28, 1995, the authorized Preferred Stock of the
Company consisted of twenty-five million shares, $.01 par value, of which .8
million shares were issued and outstanding.

                                       21

   Each Warrant entitles the holder any time prior to the close of business on
October 8, 1999, to purchase a share of Common Stock at a purchase price equal
to $17.00 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time.  In the event the
market price of the common stock equals or exceeds $25.50 per share for 30
consecutive trading days, the Board of Directors, after the passage of 30 months
from October 8, 1992, may, upon 75 days notice, shorten the exercise period to
end on a date earlier than October 8, 1999.

Common Stock

   Pursuant to the POR, effective October 8, 1992, all existing shares of Old
Common Stock were converted into 2.4 million shares of Common Stock and a
combined total of 2.5 million in warrants or shares of convertible preferred
stock.  Unsecured claims were converted into approximately 27.6 million shares
of new Common Stock.  In addition, in accordance with the POR Zell/Chilmark and
an institutional investor each acquired an additional 2.5 million shares of new
common stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

   In addition, shortly after the Effective Date, 80,000 shares of Common Stock
were issued as bonus compensation to certain professionals engaged in the
Chapter 11 proceedings, and a total of approximately 134,000 shares of Common
Stock were issued to employees. In December 1992, all eligible employees each
received ten shares of Common Stock as a result of this stock issuance.

   In July 1993, the Company raised net proceeds of $147.5 million through a
public offering of 11.45 million shares of Common Stock.

   The accompanying financial statements reflect the issuance of all shares of
Common Stock, preferred stock, and  warrants contemplated by the POR.  As of
January 28, 1995, up to 1.0 million shares of Common Stock, .1 million shares of
Preferred Stock, and fewer than .1 million Warrants remain issuable under the
POR to satisfy outstanding claims and conversion of unpresented shares of Old
Common Stock.  At January 28, 1995, the Company's authorized common stock
consisted of 100 million shares, $.01 par value of which 5.9 million shares were
reserved under the employee stock incentive plan (.2 million options exercised
to date), 1.5 million shares were reserved for purchase by and contribution to
the Company's 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan which currently holds .5 million
shares and 2.5 million shares were reserved for purchase by warrant holders of
which there have been no purchases to date.

   The Company's ability to pay dividends on its common stock is restricted
pursuant to the terms of its Credit Facility and the BofA Settlement Agreement.
As a result, the Company does not expect to pay common stock dividends for the
foreseeable future.

      costs among quarters within the fiscal year in proportion to projected
      quarterly sales results.  This process results in a higher portion of
      yearly fixed buying and occupancy costs being allocated to the fourth
      quarter.

 (2)  Non-recurring costs include $25.0 million in the second quarter and $5.0
      million in the fourth quarter for one-time costs to be incurred in the
      implementation of the strategic plan to streamline the Company.  The
      fourth quarter also includes a charge of $15.0 million to cover January
      1994 earthquake related losses in excess of insurance proceeds.

 (3)  For fiscal 1993, the Company recorded a zero net tax benefit comprised of
      a federal deferred tax benefit of $2.6 million offset by a state deferred
      tax provision of $2.6 million.  The federal tax benefit was limited to the
      $2.6 million beginning of the year federal deferred tax liability.  The
      state tax provision resulted from a California tax law change enacted in
      late 1993 which reduced the carryover period for California net operating
      loss carryforwards from fifteen years to five years.  These adjustments
      were reflected in the fourth quarter of the year, resulting in the
      elimination of the first quarter benefit which was established on the
      basis of a 40% statutory rate applied to pretax results.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)
                                        
                                        

Basis of Reporting


        The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
should be read in the context of the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
and Financial Review contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fifty-two week period ended January 28, 1995. In the opinion of the
Company's management, these statements contain all adjustments, all of which are
of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the amounts shown to be fairly
stated as of July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994 and for the thirteen and twenty-six
week periods then ended.  The Balance Sheet as of January 28, 1995 is as
included in the Company's Form 10-K report for the year ended January 28, 1995.


Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

         Earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period, including dilutive stock options
and all 35.0 million shares of Common Stock expected to be issued in accordance
with the plan of reorganization (the "POR") approved in connection with the
Company's emergence from bankruptcy on October 8, 1992 (the "Emergence Date").
As of July 29, 1995, 1.0 million shares of common stock remained reserved for
issuance in accordance with the POR.

Inventories

        The last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of accounting resulted in charges
to cost of goods sold of $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ended July 29, 1995, and $.5 million and $1.0 million
in the comparative prior year periods.  If all inventories had been valued on a
first-in, first-out basis, they would have been lower by $12.3 million, $14.3
million and $9.8 million at July 29, 1995, January 28, 1995 and July 30, 1994
respectively.









INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. (Debtor-in-Possession)
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. (Debtor-in-Possession) and consolidated subsidiaries
as of July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, cash flows and changes in deficiency in net assets for each of
the three years in the period ended July 30, 1994. Our audits also included the
accompanying financial statement schedules. These consolidated financial
statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Company'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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of R. H. Macy & Co., Inc.
(Debtor-in-Possession) and consolidated subsidiaries as of July 30, 1994 and
July 31, 1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended July 30, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 1 of notes to consolidated financial statements, the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries have filed for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements do not purport to reflect or provide for the consequences
of the bankruptcy proceedings. In particular, such consolidated financial
statements do not purport to show (a) as to assets, their realizable value on a
liquidation basis or their availability to satisfy liabilities; (b) as to
pre-petition liabilities, the amounts that may be allowed for claims or
contingencies, or the status and priority thereof; (c) as to stockholder
accounts, the effect of any changes that may be made in the capitalization of
the Company; or (d) as to operations, the effect of any additional changes that
may be made in its business. The outcome of these matters is not presently
determinable.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company and its subsidiaries will continue as a going concern. The
results of operations for each of the three years in the period ended July 30,
1994 together with the uncertainties relating to the confirmation of the joint
plan of reorganization and the consummation of the related merger agreement,
among other matters, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management's discussion of these matters is set
forth in Notes 1 and 2 of notes to consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that might result
from the outcome of the uncertainties referred to herein and in the preceding
paragraph.
 
As discussed in Notes 18 and 19 of notes to consolidated financial statements,
the Company changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and
postretirement benefits other than pensions effective August 1, 1993 to conform
with Statements of Financial Accounting Standard Nos. 109 and 106.

    Preferred Stock increased by $19,649,000 in 1992 through a related charge to
the deficiency in net assets.
 
    Additions to property and equipment of $32,793,000, $21,850,000 and
$29,993,000 were recorded in 1994, 1993 and 1992 by incurring obligations under
capitalized leases. Property held for sale at estimated net realizable value of
$19,500,000 was reclassified to Other Receivables in fiscal 1994.
 
    On August 1, 1993 Macy's adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("FASB 109"). FASB 109 requires a
remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities. Property and equipment and
other certain assets were increased by $191,132,000 and $18,176,000,
respectively. A deferred tax liability and a Cumulative Effect of an Accounting
Change was recorded as the corresponding amount.
 
    In 1993, Macy's assumed approximately $24,451,000 of capitalized leases
which were reclassified from the caption Obligations Subject to Settlement Under
Reorganization Proceedings to the caption Obligations Under Capitalized Leases.
 
    In 1993, secured debt included in the caption Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings was reduced by $5,969,000 due to
third party assumption of such debt. A corresponding rent receivable was
reduced.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS
 
    On January 27, 1992, R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. ("Macy's"), together with nine
of its subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter
11 ("Chapter 11"), title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (the
"Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On January 31, 1992,
seventy-eight additional subsidiaries each commenced a Chapter 11 case in the
Bankruptcy Court. Macy's and its subsidiaries that filed a Chapter 11 case in
Bankruptcy Court are herein defined collectively as the "Macy's Debtors" and are
currently operating their respective businesses as debtors-in-possession. Two
statutory creditor committees have been appointed. The cases of Macy's
subsidiaries that filed such petitions are jointly administered with the case of
Macy's for procedural purposes only.
 
    The consolidated financial statements of Macy's have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going
concern, which assumes continuity of operations in the ordinary course of
business. As a result of the Chapter 11 cases and circumstances relating to this
event, including Macy's leveraged debt structure, recurring losses, and economic
conditions, the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject
to significant uncertainty. Additionally, the amounts reported in the
consolidated statement of financial condition at July 30, 1994 could materially
change in the future because of the plan of reorganization, since such reported
amounts do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying value of the
underlying assets or amounts of liabilities that may ultimately result.
 
    Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect the payment of
pre-petition liabilities are stayed while the Macy's Debtors are under the
protection of the Bankruptcy Code. These liabilities will be resolved as part of
the reorganization proceedings. Additional liabilities subject to similar
resolution may arise as a result of claims filed by parties related to the
rejection of any executory contracts, including unexpired leases, and from the
Bankruptcy Court's allowance for contingent and other disputed claims (see Note
8).
 
    Substantially all of Macy's pre-petition short and long-term debt at July
30, 1994 is in default of the terms of the applicable loan agreements and is
subject to settlement under the reorganization process. For financial reporting
purposes, these liabilities (which are dependent upon the outcome of the Chapter
11 process) have been segregated and reclassified as Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings. Payment of certain pre-petition
liabilities that have been approved for payment by the Bankruptcy Court or were
pending approval have been included in the appropriate liability captions.
 
2. PROPOSED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION: MERGER WITH FEDERATED DEPARTMENT
   STORES, INC.
 
    On July 14, 1994, the respective Boards of Directors of Macy's and Federated
Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") announced that they had reached an
agreement in principle on a merger which would be effected as part of a joint
plan of reorganization of the Macy's Debtors. (Federated's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Federated Noteholding Corporation ("FNC"), is one of the largest
secured creditors of the Macy's Debtors.) On July 29, 1994, the Macy's Debtors
and Federated (collectively, the "Plan Proponents") filed a Joint Plan of
Reorganization of R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. and Certain of its Subsidiaries in the
Bankruptcy Court, and, on August 31, 1994, the Plan Proponents filed an Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization of R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. and Certain of its
Subsidiaries in the Bankruptcy Court (as so amended, the "Plan"). In addition,
Macy's and Federated executed and delivered an Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of August 16, 1994 (the "Merger Agreement"),

2. PROPOSED JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION: MERGER WITH FEDERATED DEPARTMENT
   STORES, INC.-- (CONTINUED)

providing for the merger of Federated with and into Macy's (the "Merger"), with
Macy's being the surviving corporation (the "Combined Company") and being
renamed "Federated Department Stores, Inc." upon the consummation of the Merger.
The execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and certain provisions
thereof were approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 8, 1994.
 
    A principal element of the Plan is the Merger. Macy's and Federated
presently intend to seek to cause the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time of the Merger"), the date on which the Plan becomes effective
(the "Effective Date of the Plan") and substantial consummation of the Plan to
occur in December 1994. The Effective Time of the Merger and the Effective Date
of the Plan will occur simultaneously. After consummation of the Merger, the
Combined Company will operate the existing businesses of Macy's and Federated.
The directors and officers of Federated immediately before the Merger will be
directors and officers of the Combined Company immediately after the Merger.
Consistent with the structure of the Merger Agreement, the transaction is to be
accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Federated is the acquirer for
accounting purposes.
 
    In addition to the Merger, the Plan provides for, among other things: (i)
the cancellation of all existing capital stock and other equity interests of
Macy's without payment of any consideration thereof; (ii) the cancellation of
certain indebtedness and the discharge of related claims against the Macy's
Debtors in exchange for cash, new indebtedness of the Combined Company and
certain of its subsidiaries, or new equity interests of the Combined Company;
(iii) the discharge of other prepetition claims against the Macy's Debtors; (iv)
the settlement of certain contingent claims and releases of certain claims of
the Macy's Debtors and other persons or entities; (v) the assumption, assumption
and assignment, or rejection of each executory contract and unexpired lease to
which any Macy's Debtor is a party; and (vi) the ability to enter into certain
restructuring transactions which will be designed to, among other things,
transfer to the Combined Company various centralized support functions. The Plan
provides for (a) the distribution of cash to third parties other than Federated
and its subsidiaries ("Third Parties") of approximately $.4 billion, (b) the
issuance, reinstatement, or assumption of indebtedness to Third Parties of
approximately $1.9 billion, and (c) the issuance to Third Parties of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Combined Company ("New Combined Company
Common Stock") and warrants to purchase shares of New Combined Company Common
Stock ("New Warrants") with an assumed aggregate value, solely for purposes of
developing the Plan, of approximately $1.2 billion. There can be no assurance,
however, that the New Combined Company Common Stock will have the value assumed
for purposes of developing the Plan. The assumed value of the New Combined
Company Common Stock and the New Warrants does not purport to represent an
estimate of the actual market value of the New Combined Company Common Stock or
the value of the New Warrants and is unaudited.
 
    The Plan provides that the Combined Company, at its sole option, may: (i)
increase the amount of cash to be distributed to certain holders of claims
against the Macy's Debtors and make corresponding reductions in the respective
amounts of new debt securities or New Combined Company Common Stock to be
distributed to such claimholders, or (ii) increase the aggregate principal
amount of certain unsecured notes to be distributed pursuant to the Plan, in
exchange for a corresponding reduction in the aggregate principal amount of
certain other unsecured notes, so long as doing so would not cause the aggregate
principal amount of either series of such notes to be less than a certain
amount. In this regard, Federated has advised Macy's that it is seeking to
arrange $2.8 billion in bank credit facilities for the
 
                                       8

Combined Company (the "New Bank Facilities"), approximately $1.7 billion of the
net proceeds of which Federated has advised Macy's it intends to apply to effect
the foregoing transactions and certain other refinancing transactions involving
other aspects of Federated's business. The consummation of the Merger Agreement
and the other transactions contemplated by the Plan are not, however,
conditioned upon the New Bank Facilities being available to the Combined
Company.
 
    Elements of the Plan with respect to certain creditor groups are as follows:

    The Plan will not become effective unless it is first confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court. Furthermore, there are a number of procedural and substantive
requirements to such effectiveness under the Bankruptcy Code, and certain other
conditions set forth in the Plan, which are described below, that must be
satisfied for the Plan to be confirmed. Among others, the Plan becoming
effective is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the following
conditions: (i) the aggregate amounts of specified categories of claims against
the Macy's Debtors, including certain cash payment claims, having been estimated
or determined by Bankruptcy Court orders (to the extent the Bankruptcy Court has
jurisdiction) that are not subject to any stay in amounts that do not exceed the
Macy's Debtors' estimated aggregate amounts for each such category of claims
used in connection with the development of the Plan (which condition has been
waived by Federated); (ii) the order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan
(the "Confirmation Order") being reasonably acceptable in form and substance to
each of Federated and Macy's; (iii) the date of the confirmation of the Plan
(the "Confirmation Date") having occurred no later than January 31, 1995; and
(iv) the New Combined Company Common Stock being authorized for listing on the

authorizations not obtained as a result of Federated's failure to divest, hold
separate, or take other action (or its failure to agree to do any thereof) with
respect to its or the Combined Company's assets to the extent required by the
Merger Agreement; (iv) all other consents, approvals, and authorizations
required to be obtained by either party having been obtained and remaining in

(vi) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for

    In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective
Time of the Merger under certain circumstances. If the Merger Agreement is
terminated because either party refuses to consummate the Merger in breach of
the Merger Agreement, then the breaching party will be obligated to pay to the
nonbreaching party (provided that it is not also in material breach), within
five business days of the effective date of such termination, a cash fee of
$80.0 million, which is in addition to any other rights, remedies, or damages
the nonbreaching party may have. If the Merger Agreement is terminated because
Macy's has accepted a competing offer, then Macy's will be obligated to pay
Federated, within five business days of the effective date of such termination,
a cash fee of $80.0 million as liquidated damages in lieu of any other payments.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain other specified
circumstances involving the failure of the creditors of the Macy's Debtors to
accept the Plan and the consummation by Macy's of a transaction with a party
that has made a competing offer outstanding prior to such termination, Macy's
will be required to pay to Federated, within five business days of such
consummation, a cash fee of $80.0 million as liquidated damages in lieu of any
other payments, except that no such fee will be payable if Federated's
stockholders have failed to adopt the Merger Agreement or, if at the time of the
termination of the Merger Agreement, Federated is in material breach of the
Merger Agreement.
 
    At the conclusion of a hearing held on September 29, 1994 to consider
approval of the Disclosure Statement required pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code,
the Bankruptcy Court ruled that, subject to certain modifications that are to be
made to the Disclosure Statement, an order would be signed approving the
statement.
 
3. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  THE COMPANY
 
    On July 15, 1986, the registrant and certain of its subsidiaries acquired R.
H. Macy & Co., Inc., a New York corporation ("Former Macy's"), in a leveraged
buyout (the "Acquisition") through a merger of Macy Merger Corp. ("Merger
Corp."), a direct and indirect subsidiary of Macy's, with and into Former
Macy's. Macy's and certain of its subsidiaries, including Merger Corp., were
formed to effect the Acquisition. Macy's is owned by a group of current and
former management employees and other investors.
 
    On May 3, 1988, Macy's acquired the I. Magnin and Bullock's/Bullocks
Wilshire divisions (the "New Divisions") of Federated. On that date, but prior
to the acquisition by Macy's, Federated transferred the assets of the New
Divisions to Bullock's Inc., Bullocks-Wilshire, Inc., Bullock's Specialty
Stores, Inc., and I. Magnin, Inc. These subsidiaries then became wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Macy's.
 
  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements and all intercompany balances and transactions
are eliminated.
 
  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    Macy's considers all short-term investments with an original or purchased
maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

3. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  RESTRICTED CASH
 
    Macy's has classified as restricted, certain cash and cash equivalents that
are not fully available for use in operations. These cash and cash equivalents
are primarily related to the Chapter 11 proceedings.
 
  MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
 
    The value of merchandise inventories is determined by the lower of LIFO
(last-in, first-out) cost using the retail inventory method or market for about
75% of the total inventory, and the lower of FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost
using the retail inventory method or market for the balance of the inventory,
principally women's ready-to-wear and electronics.
 
    Macy's includes in inventory the capitalization of certain indirect
purchasing, merchandise handling, and inventory storage costs to better match
sales with these related costs.
 
  PRE-OPENING EXPENSES
 
    Costs of opening new stores are expensed as incurred.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
    Effective August 1, 1993, Macy's adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FASB 109").
Previously, income taxes were accounted for in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 11. Under the asset and liability method prescribed
by FASB 109, deferred income taxes are provided for the tax effects of temporary
differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and are measured based upon currently enacted tax laws or rates.
The cumulative effect of adopting FASB 109 at August 1, 1993 resulted in an
increase to net income of $185,340,000 (see Note 18).
 
  INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
    Intangible assets, which are included in other assets, are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lives of the assets as follows:

  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
estimated useful lives or lease terms. Capitalized leases and leasehold values
are amortized over the respective lease terms.
 
  DEFERRED DEBT EXPENSE
 
    Deferred debt expense is amortized over the life of the related debt.
 
  EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
 
    Earnings/(loss) per share of common stock attributable to common
stockholders (after dividends and accretion on the Convertible Preferred Stock
(redeemable)) is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Fully diluted income per share is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period assuming

the conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock (redeemable) into Common Stock.
Such assumed conversion was antidilutive in fiscal years 1993 and 1992.
 
  SINGLE BUSINESS SEGMENT
 
    Macy's operates a retail department store business through 122 department
stores in three regional store groups and operates certain specialty and
close-out center stores. Because of the similarity of the nature of its
merchandise business, Macy's considers itself to be a single business segment.
 
  OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106,
"Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("FASB
106"), was adopted on August 1, 1993. This statement requires that employers
record the expected cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions during
the employees' active years of service. As of August 1, 1993, the accumulated
postretirement obligation was approximately $204,000,000. The registrant is
recording this obligation through amortization over a 20-year period. The
incremental non-cash expense associated with the adoption of FASB 106 for the
year ended July 30, 1994 was $20,681,000, including the amortization of the
accumulated postretirement obligation of $10,195,000 (see Note 19).
 
  CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR
 
    Macy's changed its fiscal year end from the Saturday closest to July 31 to
the Saturday closest to January 31 effective for the year beginning July 31,
1994.
 
  RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial
statements to conform with classifications used in the current year.
 
4. MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES
 
    If inventories had been valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market,
inventories would have increased by $119,235,000 and $102,563,000 at July 30,
1994 and July 31, 1993, respectively.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
 
  POST-PETITION FINANCING (SEE ALSO NOTE 9)
 
    Pursuant to orders of the Bankruptcy Court entered on January 29, 1992 and
February 13, 1992, the registrant obtained a debtor-in-possession financing
arrangement under a Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of January
27, 1992 (as subsequently amended through March 31, 1993, the "Post-Petition
Credit Agreement"), among Macy's, as Borrower, each of the other Macy's Debtors,
as guarantors, Chemical Bank, as administrative agent, and Bankers Trust
Company, as co-agent, and other financial institutions to become parties
thereto. The Post-Petition Credit Agreement established a working capital
facility consisting of revolving credit loans and letters of credit in the
aggregate maximum amount of $600,000,000, inclusive of a sub-limit of
$250,000,000 for standby and documentary letters of credit of which no more than
$30,000,000 could be used for standby letters of credit. The Post-Petition
Credit Agreement was scheduled to terminate pursuant to its original terms upon
the earlier of (i) February 28, 1994 or (ii) substantial consummation of a plan
of reorganization of Macy's or certain of its subsidiaries. Borrowings under the
working capital facility may be used to fund working capital, inventory
purchases, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes of the
Macy's Debtors. The Post-Petition Credit Agreement includes restrictions on
capital expenditures and certain other payments, as well as covenants relating
to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as
defined within the Post-Petition Credit Agreement).
 
    On August 12, 1993 the Post-Petition Credit Agreement was amended and
restated on similar terms pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit and
Guaranty Agreement, among Macy's, as Borrower, the Macy's Debtors, as
guarantors, Chemical Bank, as administrative agent, Bankers Trust Company, as
co-agent, and other financial institutions party thereto (the "Amended and
Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement"), which agreement was approved by a
Bankruptcy Court order dated September 8, 1993. Under the Amended and Restated
Post-Petition Credit Agreement, Macy's working capital facility (the "Working
Capital Facility") consisting of revolving credit loans and letters of credit
was reduced from a maximum of $600,000,000 to $550,000,000, inclusive of a
sublimit of $250,000,000 for standby and documentary letters of credit of which
no more than $30,000,000 may be used for standby letters of credit. In August
1994, Macy's voluntarily reduced the Working Capital Facility to $450,000,000
reflecting its reduced borrowing requirements thereunder. The Amended and
Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i)
August 1, 1995 or (ii) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization
of Macy's or certain of its subsidiaries.
 
    Claims in respect of indebtedness incurred by the Macy's Debtors under the
Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement are afforded superpriority
administrative expense claim status pursuant to applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code.

7. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS--(CONTINUED)

    The Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement provides that
advances made under the Working Capital Facility will bear interest at a rate of
1.5% per annum in excess of Chemical Bank's Alternative Base Rate ("ABR") (which
was 7.25% at July 30, 1994), or at Macy's option, at a rate of 2.5% per annum in
excess of the reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for
interest periods of one, three, or six months (which was 4.50%, 4.875%, or
5.3125%, respectively, at July 30, 1994). Interest on ABR loans and three and
six month LIBOR loans are payable quarterly and interest on one month LIBOR
loans is payable at maturity.
 
    Under the Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement, Macy's is
obligated to pay a commitment fee of 1/2 of 1% per annum on the unused portion
of the Working Capital Facility, a letter of credit fee, and certain other fees.
There were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings and $118,775,000 of
letters of credit outstanding under the Working Capital Facility at July 30,
1994. Unamortized deferred debt expense of $2,437,000 was included in the
caption "Other Assets" at July 30, 1994. At July 31, 1993 outstanding revolving
credit borrowings and letters of credit under the Working Capital Facility were
$65,900,000 and $116,905,000, respectively (excluding unamortized deferred debt
expense of $3,202,000).
 
8. OBLIGATIONS SUBJECT TO SETTLEMENT UNDER REORGANIZATION PROCEEDINGS
 
    Obligations of the Macy's Debtors that are expected to be settled as part of
a plan of reorganization are separately classified in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition as of July 30, 1994 and are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
    Obligations Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings include
substantially all of Macy's pre-petition short and long-term debt. As discussed
in Note 1, payments of these obligations are stayed while the Macy's Debtors
continue to operate as debtors-in-possession.
 
    The increase in Obligations Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization
Proceedings from July 31, 1993 to July 30, 1994 was primarily due to the accrual
of interest expense on certain pre-petition secured debt.
 
    Generally, interest on pre-petition debt does not accrue after the
commencement of the Chapter 11 case. If the debts are secured by property with a
fair market value that is greater than the amount of the debt, interest may
accrue up to the value of the collateral. Through substantially all of fiscal
1994, Macy's accrued interest on its secured debt pending obtaining an estimate
of the fair market value of the property securing such debt. Following
negotiations with representatives of the various secured lenders and the
development of the Plan in July, Macy's revised its estimates for the
post-petition accrued interest that would be paid for fiscal 1994 and prior
years upon confirmation of the Plan resulting in the secured debt plus
post-petition interest through July 30, 1994 equaling the estimated

PROCEEDINGS--(CONTINUED)

amount due for such debt and interest as of such date under the Plan.
Accordingly, post-petition interest of $61,250,000 (contractual interest) with
respect to fiscal 1994 and $57,460,000 with respect to prior years and relating
to the Swiss Financing, the Ten Store Financing, and the Warehouse Financing
(see Note 9) was reversed through reductions in interest expense and
reorganization items, respectively. Interest expense on certain other
pre-petition secured debt continues to be accrued but remains subject to
settlement. Such accrual of interest on secured indebtedness is being recorded
at the interest rates applicable under the respective loan agreements without
regard to default and penalty provisions contained therein (see Note 14).
 
    Macy's has ceased accruing interest expense on its unsecured debt.
Contractual interest not recorded on such unsecured debt aggregated
$215,233,000, $203,518,000, and $99,442,000 for the fiscal years ended July 30,
1994, July 31, 1993, and August 1, 1992.
 
    Numerous claims have been asserted in respect of various pre-petition
obligations, which claims individually or in the aggregate may be material and
may not currently be reflected as obligations subject to settlement. The last
day on which these claims could be filed against the Macy's Debtors, with
certain exceptions, was December 15, 1992, and over 17,000 claims aggregating an
amount substantially in excess of the amounts reported in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition under the caption Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings were filed by such date. Based on
reviews through July 30, 1994, Macy's believes that a number of these claims are
duplicative of and/or supersede claims previously asserted. In addition, claims
have been filed which do not state a specific claim amount or as to which a
specific claim amount is not readily determinable. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Court
orders entered in 1993 and 1994, certain exact duplicate claims and late claims
were expunged. Claims will continue to be reviewed and analyzed by Macy's as
part of the claims reconciliation process and objections filed as required. As
this review process continues, the aggregate amount included in the estimate of
pre-petition date obligations subject to settlement may increase or otherwise be
adjusted to reflect the ongoing analyses of claims filed and the aggregate
amounts which may be allowed in respect thereof. Macy's has received claims
relating to termination of various interest rate protection agreements on
pre-petition liabilities aggregating approximately $138,000,000. Provisions for
$54,115,000 and $83,695,000 were recorded in fiscal 1992 and 1993 and have been
included in Obligations Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings.
In 1994, $33,695,000 of the 1993 provision was reversed based on the comparison
of such provision and the amount included in the Plan. This reversal was
included as a reduction of Reorganization Items--net in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations for fiscal year 1994.
 
    Commencing on the Chapter 11 filing date, Macy's ceased accruing dividends
on its Convertible Preferred Stock (redeemable) and has included the Convertible
Preferred Stock (redeemable) and the cumulative accrued but unpaid dividends
prior to the filing date on such stock in Obligations Subject to Settlement
Under Reorganization Proceedings. Under applicable bankruptcy law, the holders
of the Convertible Preferred Stock of the registrant are not considered
creditors.
 
    The unsecured debt amount included in Obligations Subject to Settlement
Under Reorganization Proceedings does not include $5,000,000 of 14 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Debentures, $241,931,000 of 14 1/2% Subordinated Debentures, and
$187,769,000 of 16 1/2% Junior Subordinated Discount Debentures purchased in
fiscal 1991 by Macy Financial, Inc. ("MFI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macy's
and also a debtor-in-possession. The capital stock of MFI, as well as such
debentures, were pledged to the pre-petition banks under the pre-petition Macy
Bank Agreement (see Note 9).

    Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's entered into the
following financing arrangements. The descriptions of the following financing
arrangements are based on the original contractual terms and maturities. As a
result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's is in default of
these financing arrangements and the obligations in respect thereof remain
subject to settlement. (See Note 1).
 
  PRE-PETITION BANK CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
 
    Prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's was party to a
Bank Credit Agreement which was originally dated as of July 10, 1986 and was
amended and restated as of April 27, 1988 (as subsequently amended the "Macy
Bank Agreement"). The Macy Bank Agreement established a Macy's revolving working
capital line of credit ("Macy Revolving Credit Facility"), a six-year term loan,
and an Acquisition Letter of Credit.
 
  MACY REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
 
    The Macy Revolving Credit Facility provided a six-year revolving working
capital line of credit subject to certain sublimits, not to exceed $587,700,000.
Borrowings as of July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 were $128,358,000 (excluding
unamortized deferred debt expense of $3,011,000 as of July 31,

1993), and are included in Obligations Subject to Settlement Under
Reorganization Proceedings. The Macy Revolving Credit Facility was a six-year
facility and would have terminated in April 1994. The Macy Revolving Credit
Facility bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.25% plus the Base Rate (a
floating rate of interest publicly announced by Chemical Bank, or, at Macy's
option, 2.25% plus the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Macy Bank Agreement,
which definition gives weight to the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage as therein
defined). Interest is computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and is payable
monthly in arrears for Base Rate borrowings and at the end of an Interest Period
(as defined in the Macy Bank Agreement) for Eurodollar Rate borrowings. The
facility was secured by the capital stock of certain of Macy's U.S.
subsidiaries, certain receivables, certain tangible personal property (other
than inventory) and general intangibles, junior liens on certain Macy's stores,
and substantially all of Macy's other real property.
 
  SENIOR REAL ESTATE DEBT
 
    Senior real estate debt includes the following:
 
    a) Prudential Financing
 
    In 1986, Macy's and various subsidiaries of Macy's received $800,000,000 of
mortgage financing provided by The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential Financing"). These loans are, by their terms, nonrecourse
participating loans secured by the first or second mortgages on 68 of Macy's
department stores; however, under the Bankruptcy Code, by virtue of Macy's
Chapter 11 cases, these loans may have become recourse loans. Each of the loans
has a term of 15 years and bears interest at a 12% rate (the "Note Rate"). The
lender receives semi-annual cash payments equal to the greater of (i) 9% per
annum of the loan balance (including accrued interest) for the first three
years, stepping up 1% each year thereafter until such rate becomes 12% (in the
sixth year), and thereafter remaining at 12% until maturity, or (ii) a
percentage in the range of 1.33% to 1.37% of each of the four regional store
group subsidiaries' (as of the date of the Acquisition) annual gross retail
sales (such greater amount being referred to as the "Pay Rate"). The dollar
amount of any excess of the Note Rate over the Pay Rate will be added to the
loan balance and will bear interest at the Note Rate (an "Accrual"). In the
event that the Pay Rate exceeds the Note Rate, the Pay Rate is capped at 13% of
the loan balance (including accrued interest) on a divisional basis (i.e.,
regional store group subsidiaries). To the extent the Pay Rate exceeds the Note
Rate, such excess may be utilized to pay down the Accrual balance with any
further excess being paid as additional interest. At maturity, the lender was
scheduled to receive additional interest based on a percentage of the increase
in real estate value (determined on the basis of retail sales) of the applicable
store securing such debt. The accrual of additional interest was recorded and
compounded annually as noncash interest until July 1991 (see Note 14).
 
    On December 31, 1993, FNC acquired from the Prudential Insurance Company of
America ("Prudential") 50% of certain claims of Prudential against the Macy's
Debtors arising under the Prudential Financing in the original principal amount
of $800 million and certain other mortgage loans in the aggregate original
principal amount of approximately $21 million (such amount is included in
Mortgage Notes) (collectively, the "Prudential Claims").

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
9. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

    During fiscal 1994, Macy's repaid $9,511,000 of the outstanding balance of
the Prudential Financing from the proceeds of two stores closed and sold
subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases.
 
    b) Swiss Financing
 
    In 1988 and 1989, various subsidiaries of Macy's received approximately
$565,000,000 of mortgage financing provided by Swiss Bank Corporation and
certain other financial institutions ("Swiss Financing"). These loans are
secured by certain real estate owned by such subsidiaries and bear interest at
an overall interest rate cost of approximately 10.4%. The repayment of the
outstanding principal is due in June 1998.
 
    c) Ten Store Financing
 
    In 1987, various subsidiaries of Macy's received $180,000,000 of proceeds
from nonrecourse indebtedness secured by ten stores (the "Ten Store Financing")
through the issuance of commercial paper by Macy Special Real Estate Capital
Corp. ("Special Real Estate"), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of
Macy's. The assets of Special Real Estate will only be available to Macy's after
Special Real Estate's obligations to its creditors have been satisfied.
Citibank, N.A. issued a letter of credit in support of the commercial paper. The
registrant used $55,000,000 of the proceeds to make a prepayment on the amount
then outstanding under its former six-year term loan and repurchased certain
subordinated indebtedness at an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$45,000,000. Macy's entered into fixed rate protection agreements in respect of
this indebtedness, the effect of which, together with a related option, provides
Macy's with an overall interest rate cost of approximately 10% per annum. The
payment of the outstanding principal amount is due in May 1997.
 
    As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Special Real Estate
ceased issuing commercial paper. Pursuant to a credit support arrangement
entered into in 1987, the outstanding commercial paper was retired through the
proceeds of the repurchase by an affiliate of Citibank, N.A. of a participation
held by Special Real Estate in the loans evidencing the Ten Store Financing.
Additionally, the fixed rate protection agreements were terminated.
 
    d) Warehouse Financing
 
    Concurrently with the sale of accounts and receivables to General Electric
Capital Corp. ("GE Capital"), GE Capital made a 15-year loan to three
subsidiaries of Macy's in an aggregate principal amount of $44,100,000. This
loan bore interest until October 15, 1991 at an annual rate of 10.5%. Commencing
June 10, 1992, this loan amortizes ratably over its remaining 14 years. On
October 15, 1991, an additional loan of $9,100,000 was made and the annual
interest rate changed to 10.44% on the aggregate principal outstanding of
$53,200,000. These loans are secured by certain real estate owned by the
borrowers and generally are non-recourse except with respect to payment of
interest and certain environmental matters, which recourse obligations have been
guaranteed by Macy's.
 
  SIX-YEAR TERM LOAN
 
    The six-year term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.25%
plus the Base Rate or, at Macy's option, 2.25% plus the Eurodollar Rate. Such
interest is computed on the basis of a year of 360

days and is payable monthly in arrears for Base Rate borrowings and at the end
of an Interest Period (as defined in the Macy Bank Agreement) for Eurodollar
Rate borrowings, and is subject to reduction based on terms and conditions set
forth in the Macy Bank Agreement. The principal was payable in semi-annual
installments.
 
    The six-year term loan is secured by the capital stock of certain of Macy's
U.S. subsidiaries, certain receivables, certain tangible personal property
(other than inventory) and general intangibles, junior liens on certain Macy's
stores, and substantially all of Macy's other real property.
 
    The Macy Bank Agreement gave the banks the option under certain
circumstances to require the termination of Macy's overfunded pension plan upon
an event of default in respect of specific operating ratios and cash flow
coverage requirements. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, Macy's is in
default of the Macy Bank Agreement and the banks' remedies under these
agreements are stayed.
 
  PURCHASE NOTE
 
    As part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of the New Divisions,
Macy's issued a $400,000,000 Note to Federated which was assigned to a third
party. The Note was due and payable in three equal installments beginning May 3,
1997. The Note bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the three month LIBOR
Rate plus .5% or at the Alternative LIBOR Rate (both defined in the Note).
Interest is computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and is payable quarterly
in arrears. As part of the Macy Bank Agreement, an Acquisition Letter of Credit
was issued in support of the Note for a period of six years. Additionally,
Macy's entered into fixed rate protection agreements in respect of the
indebtedness under the Note, the effect of which, together with the cost of the
Letter of Credit, would provide Macy's with an annual overall interest rate cost
of 12.65%.
 
    As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, the Acquisition
Letter of Credit was drawn for the beneficiary thereof in the amount of
$400,000,000 plus accrued interest in satisfaction of the Purchase Note.
Pursuant to the terms of the Macy Bank Agreement, Macy's is obligated to
reimburse the lenders who funded the Acquisition Letters of Credit.
Additionally, the fixed rate protection agreements were terminated as a result
of the commencement of the Chapter 11 case.
 
    At July 30, 1994, Macy's is currently recording interest at an annual rate
of 7.25% on the obligations under the Macy Bank Agreement.
 
  SENIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
 
    The senior subordinated debentures bore interest at 14.5% per annum, payable
semi-annually, and mature on October 15, 1998. Such debentures are redeemable at
Macy's option on or after October 15, 1991, initially at 107.5% of their
principal amount, declining to 100% on or after October 15, 1996, and will be
entitled to the benefit of a sinking fund beginning October 15, 1994, in annual
installments of $80,000,000, calculated to retire 80% of their principal amount
prior to maturity.
 
    In 1991, Macy's or a subsidiary repurchased $5,000,000 principal amount of
senior subordinated debentures from a portion of the proceeds received in the
issuance of additional Convertible Preferred Stock. In 1988, Macy's repurchased
$16,000,000 principal amount of senior subordinated debentures from a portion of
the proceeds of the Ten Store Financing.

    As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's has ceased
accruing interest expense on its unsecured debt. Therefore, interest expense on
the senior subordinated debentures has not been accrued after January 27, 1992.
 
  SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
 
    The subordinated debentures bore interest at 14.5% per annum, payable
semi-annually, and mature on November 15, 2001. Such debentures are redeemable
at Macy's option on or after November 15, 1991, initially at 105% of their
principal amount, declining to 100% on or after November 15, 1993, and will be
entitled to the benefits of a sinking fund in annual installments of
$130,000,000 beginning November 15, 1997, calculated to retire 80% of their
principal amount prior to maturity.
 
    In 1991, Macy's or a subsidiary repurchased $247,431,000 principal amount of
subordinated debentures from a portion of the proceeds received in the issuance
of additional Convertible Preferred Stock. In 1988, Macy's repurchased
$19,135,000 principal amount of subordinated debentures from a portion of the
proceeds of the Ten Store Financing.
 
    As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's has ceased
accruing interest expense on its unsecured debt. Therefore, interest expense on
the subordinated debentures has not been accrued after January 27, 1992.
 
  JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DISCOUNT DEBENTURES
 
    Macy's issued $910,150,000 principal amount of junior subordinated discount
debentures maturing on November 15, 2006 for proceeds of $300,003,000. Such
debentures bear no interest for the first seven years and bear interest at 16.5%
payable semi-annually commencing November 15, 1993. The discount rate for these
debentures has been assumed to provide a yield to maturity of approximately
16.5% on a semi-annual basis. Such debentures are entitled to the benefits of a
sinking fund beginning November 15, 2002, in annual installments of
$182,030,000, calculated to retire 80% of the issue prior to maturity. These
debentures are redeemable at Macy's option at any time at 100% of their
principal amount.
 
    In 1991, Macy's or a subsidiary repurchased $253,822,000 face amount
($170,814,000 accreted value) of junior subordinated discount debentures from a
portion of the proceeds received in the issuance of additional Convertible
Preferred Stock. In 1988, Macy's repurchased $21,900,000 face amount of junior
subordinated discount debentures from a portion of the proceeds of the Ten Store
Financing.
 
    As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 cases, Macy's has ceased
accruing interest expense on its unsecured debt. Therefore, interest expense on
the junior subordinated discount debentures has not been accrued after January
27, 1992.
 
  MORTGAGE NOTES
 
    The average rate of interest approximated 8.6% and 8.8% (ranging from 4.7%
to 12.0%) for 1994 and 1993.

    Substantially all assets, other than cash and inventory, are pledged as
collateral at July 30, 1994.
 
  INTEREST RATE PROTECTION ARRANGEMENTS
 
    Prior to the Petition Dates, Macy's had entered into interest rate swap and
cap arrangements in the management of interest rate exposure. In 1992, the
differential to be paid or received was accrued as an interest rate charge and
was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. All interest rate
protection arrangements were terminated at the commencement of the Chapter 11
cases as a result of the default provisions under the loan arrangements.
 
10. PREFERRED STOCK
 
    Macy's certificate of incorporation provides for 25 million authorized
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which nine million
shares constitutes Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (redeemable)
("Series I Preferred Stock"), one million shares constitutes Convertible
Participating Preferred Stock Series II (redeemable) ("Series II Preferred
Stock"), and seven million shares constitutes Convertible Participating
Preferred Stock Series III (redeemable) ("Series III Preferred Stock"). (Series
I Preferred Stock, Series II Preferred Stock, and Series III Preferred Stock are
collectively referred to in these notes as "Preferred Stock" and in the
consolidated financial statements as "Preferred Stock").
 
    The certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to fix
the conditions and terms of shares of Preferred Stock prior to their issuance.
On July 15, 1986, Macy's sold 7,494,465 shares of Series I Preferred Stock with
a Base Liquidation Preference of $39.62 per share. Between August 1990 and
February 1991, Macy's sold 211,506 shares of Series II Preferred Stock with a
Base Liquidation Preference of $159.05 per share and, between December 1990 and
April 1991, 5,298,330 shares of Series III Preferred Stock with a Base
Liquidation Preference of $31.81 per share. All sales of Preferred Stock have
been made in private placements.
 
    The right to convert Preferred Stock at the option of the holder into Common
Stock on a one-to-one basis began on July 15, 1988 and ended for the Series I
Preferred Stock and Series II Preferred Stock on July 15, 1993; such conversion
right with respect to the Series III Preferred Stock continues until December
18, 1997. No preferred shares have been converted into Common Stock. The
Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of Macy's after the end of
applicable optional conversion period ("Conversion Expiration Date") at various
percentages of the Base Liquidation Preference of the particular series until
mandatory redemption on the thirteenth anniversary of the Conversion Expiration
Date.

10. PREFERRED STOCK--(CONTINUED)

    The difference between the carrying value of certain of the Preferred Stock
Series I at date of issue and the mandatory redemption value was recorded
through periodic accretions using the interest method until the commencement of
the Chapter 11 case. The related charge flowed through the deficiency in net
assets.
 
    Except for special class voting rights of the Preferred Stock, each share of
Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters
whatsoever which may be the subject of proper action by stockholders of Macy's
together with the holders of Common Stock voting as a single class, subject to
the terms of the Non-Management Stockholders' Agreement dated as of July 15,
1986, as amended, and of the Voting Trust Agreement dated as of July 15, 1986 in
respect of certain Common Stock.
 
    Cumulative quarterly dividends (the "Preferred Dividend") were provided for
at an annual dividend rate of 8% of the Base Liquidation Preference for the
particular series involved, as and when declared by the Board of Directors; and
also, a dividend (the "Participating Dividend"), participating pari passu with
the Common Stock in the payment of Common Stock dividends in an amount equal to
the product of (i) 25% multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the denominator of
which is the number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at July 15, 1986,
multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount declared available for dividends on the
Common Stock and Preferred Stock after payment of the Preferred Dividend. It is
provided that Macy's may not pay dividends to the Common stockholders, unless
all accrued Preferred Dividends have been paid or declared and provided for.
 
    Any unpaid accrued Preferred and Participating Dividends are forfeitable
upon conversion of Preferred Stock. The holders of Preferred Stock are subject
to a Non-Management Stockholders' Agreement dated as of July 15, 1986, as
amended, which affects the exercise of various rights, including the voting and
transferability of Preferred Stock and the Common Stock into which such
Preferred Stock is convertible.
 
    Commencing on the Chapter 11 filing date, Macy's ceased accruing dividends
on its Preferred Stock (redeemable) and has included the Preferred Stock
(redeemable) and the cumulative accrued but unpaid dividends prior to the filing
date on such stock in Obligations Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization
Proceedings. For purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the holders of the Preferred
Stock of Macy's are not considered creditors. The Plan provides for cancellation
of all existing capital stock and other equity interests of Macy's without
payment of any consideration therefor.
 
11. COMMON STOCK
 
    On July 15, 1986, Macy's sold 1,750,000 shares of its Common Stock for
either cash and/or the exchange of common shares of Former Macy's. In connection
with their purchase of Common Stock, each purchaser of Common Stock entered into
a Common Stock Subscription Agreement or a like agreement which contained
certain transfer restrictions until the end of such agreements on July 15, 1996
or earlier under certain circumstances and, also, provisions regarding such
stockholder's rights and/or obligations to sell the Common Stock back to Macy's
or its designee upon termination of such stockholder's employment with Macy's or
its affiliates (until July 15, 1993, generally in the Common Stock Subscription
Agreements and until July 15, 1996 in "Stock Purchase, Agency and Restriction

Agreements"). The holders of such Common Stock also entered into a Voting Trust
Agreement dated as of July 15, 1986 pursuant to which a ten-year voting trust
was established.
 
    Dividends on Common Stock are provided for, as and when declared by the
Board of Directors subject to the payment of the Preferred Dividends (see Note
10) and the restrictions as to the payment of dividends included in certain of
the debt agreements. No dividends have been declared on Macy's Common Stock.
 
    The Plan provides for cancellation of all existing capital stock and other
equity interests of Macy's without any payment of consideration therefor.
 
12. 1987 KEY EXECUTIVE STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAM
 
    On June 15, 1987, the Board of Directors approved the 1987 Key Executive
Stock Incentive Program (the "1987 Program"). In view of Macy's Chapter 11 case,
the 1987 Program, which is described below, has become inactive. The 1987
Program consists of (i) the 1987 Participation Stock Option Plan, which provides
for the grant of stock options not intended to qualify as incentive stock
options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("PSOs"), and (ii)
the 1987 Stock Award Plan, which provides for awards of Common Stock ("Awards").
PSOs, unless determined otherwise, are exercisable in certain specified
installments and for a period of seven years; the exercise price of each share
granted under a PSO is determined at the date of grant. Awards may or may not be
subject to certain terms, conditions, and restrictions and/or a purchase price.
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to the 1987 Program is the
number of Reserved Management Shares (i.e., 92,105 unissued shares) plus such
shares as shall be acquired by Macy's from employees or former employees or
their permitted transferees pursuant to rights or obligations of Macy's under
Common Stock subscription agreements or like agreements. The 1987 Program is
designed to subject all Common Stock issued under its Plans (a) to the rights
and restrictions on the Common Stock of Macy's currently operative as to
holdings of existing Management Investors in July 1986 and (b) to the required
inclusion of all Common Stock under the Voting Trust Agreement.
 
    For the years ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993, the number of shares
subject to options that were outstanding were 187,525. Stock options were held
by 196 individuals at July 30, 1994. The exercise price for all shares under
option is $20 per share. The Plan provides for cancellation of all existing
capital stock and other equity interests of Macy's without payment of any
consideration therefor.

    Net retail sales include sales from licensed departments of $65,136,000,

    On January 17, 1994, a major earthquake struck the Los Angeles, California
area. Several of the Bullock's and I. Magnin stores that operate in this area
experienced property damage, merchandise loss, and business interruption. The
Bullock's Sherman Oaks and Northridge stores sustained extensive damage. The
Sherman Oaks store is expected to be in complete operation by October 1994 while
the Northridge store is expected to reopen in late 1995. The $15,000,000 loss
recorded reflects the estimated damage and costs related to the earthquake in
excess of insurance coverage. Insurance

proceeds of $73,000,000 were applied against merchandise loss, property damage,
business interruption, and other related costs.
 
16. UNUSUAL ITEMS--NET
 
    The unusual items--net in 1994 included (a) the costs incurred for
organizational realignments ($8,292,000) and (b) the costs incurred for business
restructuring ($11,208,000). The organizational realignment costs related to the
consolidation of various departments and the streamlining of operations. The
business restructuring costs related to the elimination of the sale of certain
types of merchandise as well as the closing of certain furniture stores.
 
    The unusual items--net in 1993 included (a) the costs incurred for
organizational realignments ($19,768,000), (b) the costs incurred for business
restructuring ($9,597,000) offset by (c) a gain related to the sale of the
registrant's aircraft ($9,110,000). The organizational realignment costs related
to the consolidation of various departments and the streamlining of operations.
The business restructuring costs relate to the elimination of the sale of
certain types of merchandise in various geographic locations. These expenses
include severance and other incremental expenses net of disposition proceeds and
are part of the key business initiatives undertaken by Macy's beginning in
fiscal 1992.
 
    The unusual items--net in 1992 included (a) the write-off of remaining
excess of cost over fair value of the net assets acquired during the 1986
acquisition of Former Macy's and the 1988 acquisition for the New Divisions of
Federated ($241,452,000), (b) costs incurred for Macy's East-West organizational
realignment ($40,000,000), and (c) costs incurred in the one-time liquidation of
certain aged inventory in temporary inventory liquidation facilities
($30,000,000). This one-time liquidation resulted from Macy's modification of
inventory management policy for the department stores which led to the
establishment of its inventory close-out operation, Macy's Close-Out.
 
    As a result of Macy's operating performance, its overall decline in
financial condition, economic conditions, and an assessment of the prospects for
specific stores, it appeared in fiscal 1992 that future sales, earnings, and
cash flow amounts did not substantiate Macy's continuing to carry the remaining
excess of cost over fair value of the net assets acquired on its consolidated
statements of financial condition. Accordingly, Macy's wrote off the remaining
balance in fiscal 1992.
 
    In February 1992, Macy's created two larger regional department store
groups, Macy's East and Macy's West, which are comprised of certain operating
subsidiaries. Macy's East consists of the Macy's Northeast, Inc. stores as well
as the stores of Macy's South Inc. located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, and South Carolina. Macy's West consists of the Macy's California,
Inc. and Bullock's, Inc. stores as well as the stores of Macy's South, Inc.
located in Texas. I. Magnin, Inc. was not affected by the realignment.

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" ("FASB 109") was adopted as of August 1, 1993. FASB 109 requires,
in the year of adoption, an adjustment of certain assets and liabilities that
resulted from certain business combinations such as the 1986 Acquisition. The
adoption of FASB 109 resulted in a favorable cumulative effect income adjustment
of $185,340,000. This statement requires that a deferred tax liability be
recognized for the tax effects of taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets for the tax effects of deductible temporary differences, tax credit
carryforwards, and operating loss carryforwards. Tax expense in fiscal 1994 was
calculated in accordance with FASB 109.
 
    Under prior accounting rules, an income tax benefit cannot be recognized for
the losses incurred in 1993 and 1992 because the benefit is not expected to be
recovered as an income tax refund or savings currently or in the near future.
 
    At July 30, 1994, Macy's had an estimated net operating loss carryover of
$1,617,000,000 for Federal income tax purposes which includes approximately
$636,904,000 of post-petition interest expense not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The loss carryover will be available to
offset future taxable income through 2009. There is no expiration date on

* Relates to state jurisdictions which have limitations on the utilization of

    In 1993, Macy's announced that it reached an agreement with the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding federal income taxes arising from its audit of
fiscal years 1984 through 1991; fiscal years 1992 and 1993 are currently being
examined by the IRS. The IRS will have a priority claim for federal income tax
of approximately $219 million inclusive of interest. Macy's estimates that its
actual liability will be approximately $151 million due to the availability and
carryback of certain net operating losses from fiscal year 1992. All appropriate
amounts for the agreed-upon settlement with the IRS, including interest, and the
related estimated state and local tax impact have been provided for and have
been included with Other Liabilities in the caption Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings.
 
    On September 28, 1994, the California Franchise Tax Board approved a
settlement of approximately $17 million plus interest beginning on July 29, 1994
relating to the fiscal years 1976 through 1991. Such refund will be recorded as
income in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, will be offset against other
amounts due to California, and will result in a net refund of approximately $4
million. The $17 million settlement has not been reflected in the consolidated
financial statements as of July 30, 1994.

    During 1993 and 1992, Macy's incurred a pension curtailment due to a
reduction in the number of employees relating to the consolidation of certain
operations and the closing of certain stores. The result was a curtailment gain
of approximately $1,394,000 in 1993 and $3,500,000 in 1992.
 
    Also see Note 9, Six-Year Term Loan, for additional information regarding
the plan's overfunded status.

  SAVINGS AND PROFIT-SHARING PLANS
 
    Macy's also has a savings plan and a terminated profit-sharing plan. The
savings plan fund consists of voluntary employee contributions, matching company
contributions, and all related earnings. The savings plan expense was
$4,827,000, $3,688,000, and $3,992,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992. The balance in
the savings plan fund at July 30, 1994 was $207,407,000. The balance in the
profit-sharing fund at July 30, 1994 was $17,299,000. No contributions have been
made to the profit-sharing fund since 1976.
 
  POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106 entitled
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" ("FASB
106") was adopted on August 1, 1993. This statement requires that employers
record the expected cost of postretirement benefits other than pensions during
the employees active years of service. Macy's provides medical and life
insurance benefits under various plans to certain retirees on a
contributory/non-contributory basis.
 
    As of August 1, 1993, the accumulated postretirement obligation was
approximately $204,000,000. Macy's is recording this obligation through
amortization of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation over a 20 year
period.
 
    The following table sets forth the plans' status at July 30, 1994.

</TABLE>
 
    For measurement purposes, a range of 11.5%-19.0% annual rate of increase in
the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1994; the
rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 6.0% for 2005 and remain at that level
thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect
on the amounts reported. To illustrate, increasing the assumed health care cost
trend rates by one percentage point would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation as of July 30, 1994 by $19,252,000 and
increase the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year then ended by $3,209,000.

    The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligations was 8.0% and the salary increase rate is age
weighted on starting at age 20 at 8.0% decreasing to 4.5% at age 64.
 
    The amounts included as an expense for postretirement benefits under the
previous accounting method were approximately $20,000,000 lower in fiscal years
1993 and 1992.
 
    In November 1992, the FASB issued Statement No. 112 entitled "Employers'
Accounting for Post Employment Benefits" ("FASB 112"). This statement requires
Macy's to recognize, during the employees active years of service, an obligation
for post employment benefits provided to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement. Macy's will adopt FASB 112 as of July 31, 1994
(fiscal year 1995) by recording a cumulative effect of a change in accounting.
The cumulative effect (non-cash) of this charge is estimated to be $11,000,000.

    a) Leases
 
    Macy's and its subsidiaries lease land and/or buildings, warehouses, and
distribution facilities, and fixtures and store equipment for certain of their
retail stores. The leases generally provide for the payment of real estate taxes
and other related expenses and, in certain instances, increased rentals based on
percentages of sales. The leases provide for option renewal periods, and some
contain purchase options.
 
    Capitalized leases included in property and equipment consist of:

    b) Data Processing and Information Services Arrangement
 
    Macy's has entered an agreement with the Federated Systems Group ("FSG"),
formerly SABRE Group, a division of Federated, pursuant to which FSG will
provide certain data processing and information services to Macy's. The Base
Price (as defined) for the year that began September 1, 1992, was $59,600,000.
The agreement provides for additional Supplemental Fees (as defined) for
services in excess of the services included in the Base Price. The Base Price
and Supplemental Fees are calculated on the basis of FSG's costs plus a return
that covers profit and FSG's development investment. The agreement may be
terminated by Macy's, at Macy's election, at intervals from and after September
1, 1997. The amount billed to Macy's was $63,435,000, $61,693,000, and
$37,375,000 in fiscal years 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.
 
    (c) Employment Arrangements
 
    Macy's has individual employment arrangements with the Chief Executive
Officer, President, and the Chairman of Macy's West which contain terms of
employment for 3 years for one officer and 5 years for two officers.
Additionally, these arrangements provide salary, bonus, benefits, and provisions
for termination and severance under certain circumstances.
 
    Macy's also has three-year employment arrangements with 116 executives in
order to assure the organization of the continued services of such executives.
Commitments for compensation under these agreements, exclusive of benefits
provided therein, over the periods that are covered by the agreements (generally
three years) totaled approximately $96,000,000. These arrangements provide for
the executives to receive a base salary, bonus, and other certain benefits as
well as provisions for severance in the event of termination as defined.
 
    Macy's also entered into a revised arrangement in May 1993 with a former
officer, who is also a current director. This arrangement provides for services
to be rendered to Macy's through July 31, 1995 and contains applicable terms for
salary, current benefits, and post-employment and post-retirement benefits.
 
    The commitment for future salaries and an estimate for bonuses under these
employment arrangements aggregated approximately $125,000,000 at July 30, 1994.
 
    In August 1994, Macy's and Federated agreed that Macy's may enter into
severance, termination, or retention agreements or arrangements ("Program
Agreements") with any of Macy's "Corporate

Office" employees, including those with three-year employment arrangements (as
described above), provided that the cumulative amount of all payments and
healthcare benefit accruals under Program Agreements would not exceed
$32,000,000. The $32,000,000 maximum excludes any payments as may be due to the
Chief Executive Officer and the President.
 
    On September 30, 1994, a $14,000,000 lump sum payment was made to the
President of Macy's upon the termination of his employment. However, if the
Merger is not effected, the lump sum payment will be returned to Macy's and the
President will return to full-time employment under the terms of his employment
arrangement. In addition, as of September 30, 1994, $7,000,000 has been paid
under the Program Agreements referred to above, reducing the commitment under
employment agreements by a total of $21,000,000.

23. SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
 
    The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments and related disclosure is made in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 entitled "Disclosure about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments." The statement requires all entities to disclose
the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized
and not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition, for
which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
23. SUPPLEMENTARY DATA--(CONTINUED)

    The uncertainties related to the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings and
resulting effect upon the ultimate value of assets and liabilities add
significantly to the uncertain nature of any estimate of fair value.
 
    The following methods and assumptions were used where it is practicable to
estimate fair value:
 
     (i) Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, current receivables,
         accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and short-term borrowings are
         all short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair
         value.
 
    (ii) Notes 1 and 2 discuss the uncertainties of the Chapter 11 proceedings
         and the Plan which significantly effect the estimated fair value of
         financial instruments included in Obligations Subject to Settlement
         Under Reorganization Proceedings. Settlement of these obligations and
         any related interest is subject to various approvals (See Note 2) by
         the Bankruptcy Court and other contingencies and other parties of
         interest and was not fair valued at July 31, 1993. Distributions to
         creditors of the Macy's Debtors under the Plan have an aggregate
         estimated assumed value of approximately $4.1 billion. Therefore, the
         amount utilized as fair value at July 30, 1994 for Obligations Subject
         to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings is based on this assumed
         value.
 
    (iii) The estimated fair value of Macy's unsecured debt which includes the
          14 1/2% Senior Subordinated Debentures, the 14 1/2% Subordinated
          Debentures, and the 16 1/2% Junior Discount Debentures is based on
          quoted market prices at July 31, 1993 for those issues that are traded
          over the counter, and estimates provided by brokers for other issues.
          However, quoted market prices and broker estimates inherently include
          judgments concerning the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings, and do
          not represent Macy's opinion as to the amounts that will be received
          in respect thereof.

NOTES:
 
(1) Average amount outstanding during the period is computed by dividing the
    total of weekly outstanding principal balances by the weeks during the
    period.
 
(2) Weighted average interest rate during the period is computed by dividing the
    actual short-term interest expense by the average short-term debt
    outstanding during the period.
 
(3) The Post-Petition Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 1992 was amended
    and restated on August 12, 1993. The agreement provides a working capital
    facility, subject to certain sublimits, not to exceed $550,000,000 (amended
    from $600,000,000). On August 26, 1994, the maximum working capital facility
    was reduced at Macy's option by $100,000,000 to $450,000,000. The Amended
    and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement terminates upon the earlier of
    (1) August 1, 1995 or (2) the substantial consummation of a plan of
    reorganization of Macy's or certain of its subsidiaries. Macy's pays
    interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.5% plus the alternative Base Rate or
    at Macy's option, at a rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of the reserve
    adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate.
 
(4) The original Macy Bank Agreement dated as of July 10, 1986 was amended and
    restated as of April 27, 1988. The Macy Revolving Credit Facility reflects
    the terms of the amended and restated Macy Bank Agreement which provided for
    a six-year revolving working capital line of credit, subject to certain
    sublimits, not to exceed $587,700,000. Macy's paid the banks interest on the
    average daily principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit
    agreement at a rate per annum equal to 1.25% plus the Base Rate or, at
    Macy's option, 2.25% plus the Eurodollar Rate. Macy's is in default of the
    Macy Bank Agreement as a result of its Chapter 11 cases. Therefore the
    amount outstanding under the revolving credit agreement is included in
    Obligations Subject to Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings.

NOTES:
 
(1) Processing taxes, liquor taxes, and import duties have all been charged to
    cost of sales. They are not included herein because they are considered to
    be part of the initial purchase cost of merchandise; a segregation of such
    taxes is not practicable.
 
(2) No other required information has been presented since the amounts do not
    exceed 1% of total sales as reported in the related consolidated statement
    of operations.

    1. The accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
July 30, 1994 for R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. ("Macy's") and its consolidated
subsidiaries filed with the Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
the interim period have been included. Because of the seasonal nature of the
business, results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of a
full year's operations.
 
    2. On July 14, 1994, the respective Boards of Directors of Macy's and
Federated Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") announced that they had reached
an agreement in principle on a merger which would be effected as part of a joint
plan of reorganization of Macy's and all subsidiaries that filed a Chapter 11
case ("Macy Debtors") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York ("Bankruptcy Court"). (Federated's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Federated Noteholding Corporation ("FNC"), is one of the largest secured
creditors of the Macy Debtors.) On October 21, 1994, the Macy Debtors and
Federated (collectively, the "Plan Proponents") filed a Second Amended Joint
Plan of Reorganization of R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. and Certain of its Subsidiaries
in the Bankruptcy Court, having previously filed versions thereof with the
Bankruptcy Court on July 29, 1994 and August 31, 1994, respectively. The Second
Amended Joint Plan was further modified on December 7, 1994 (as modified, the
"Plan") and confirmed by order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on December 8,
1994. In addition, Macy's and Federated executed and delivered an Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of August 16, 1994 (the "Merger Agreement"), providing
for the merger of Federated with and into Macy's (the "Merger"), with Macy's
being the surviving corporation (the "Combined Company") and being renamed
"Federated Department Stores, Inc." upon the consummation of the Merger. The
execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement and certain provisions thereof
were approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 8, 1994.
 
    A principal element of the Plan is the Merger. Macy's and Federated
presently intend to seek to cause the effective time of the Merger (the
"Effective Time of the Merger"), the date on which the Plan becomes effective
(the "Effective Date of the Plan") and substantial consummation of the Plan to
occur in December 1994. The Effective Time of the Merger and the Effective Date
of the Plan will occur simultaneously. After consummation of the Merger, the
Combined Company will operate the existing businesses of Macy's and Federated.
Consistent with the structure of the Merger Agreement, the transaction is to be
accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which Federated is the acquirer for
accounting purposes.
 
    In addition to the Merger, the Plan provides for, among other things: (i)
the cancellation of all existing capital stock and other equity interests of
Macy's without payment of any consideration thereof; (ii) the cancellation of
certain indebtedness (including Macy's three issues of subordinated debentures
and other unsecured indebtedness) and the discharge of related claims against
the Macy Debtors in exchange for cash, new indebtedness of the Combined Company
and certain of its subsidiaries, or new equity interests of the Combined
Company; (iii) the discharge of other prepetition claims against the Macy
Debtors; (iv) the settlement of certain contingent claims and releases of
certain claims of the Macy Debtors and other persons or entities; and (v) the

assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of each executory contract
and unexpired lease to which any Macy Debtor is a party. The Plan provides for
(a) the distribution of cash to unaffiliated third parties in an estimated
aggregate amount of approximately $0.4 billion, (b) the issuance, reinstatement,
or assumption of indebtedness to unaffiliated third parties in an estimated
aggregate amount of approximately $1.9 billion, and (c) the issuance to
unaffiliated third parties of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Combined Company ("New Combined Company Common Stock") and warrants to purchase
shares of New Combined Company Common Stock ("New Warrants") with an assumed
aggregate value, solely for purposes of developing the Plan, of approximately
$1.2 billion. There can be no assurance, however, that the New Combined Company
Common Stock will have the value assumed for purposes of developing the Plan.
The assumed value of the New Combined Company Common Stock and the New Warrants
is the value assumed and contained in the Plan and does not purport to represent
an estimate of the actual market value of the New Combined Company Common Stock
or the value of the New Warrants.
 
    There are a number of procedural and substantive requirements to the Plan
becoming effective under the Bankruptcy Code and certain conditions to such
effectiveness set forth in the Plan. Among others, the Plan becoming effective
is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i)
the aggregate amounts of specified categories of claims against the Macy
Debtors, including certain cash payment claims, having been estimated or
determined by Bankruptcy Court orders (to the extent the Bankruptcy Court has
jurisdiction) that are not subject to any stay in amounts that do not exceed the
Macy Debtors' estimated aggregate amounts for each such category of claims used
in connection with the development of the Plan (which condition has been waived
by Federated); (ii) the order of the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan (the
"Confirmation Order") being reasonably acceptable in form and substance to each
of Federated and Macy's, which order was signed and entered by the Bankruptcy
Court on December 8, 1994; and (iii) the New Combined Company Common Stock being
authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") upon
official notice of issuance. Additionally, there are certain conditions that
must be satisfied for the Plan to become effective. There can be no assurance
that these conditions will be satisfied.
 
    The obligations of Federated and Macy's to consummate the Merger are
conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the absence of any pending injunction,
order, or decree of any governmental authority restraining the Merger or the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan; (ii) the absence of
any law promulgated or enacted restraining the Merger or the transactions
contemplated by the Plan; (iii) all consents and approvals of any governmental
authority to the Merger having been obtained and remaining in effect at the
Effective Time of the Merger, other than any that, if not obtained, would not
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results
of operations of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
any antitrust authorizations not obtained as a result of Federated's failure to
divest, hold, separate, or take other action (or its failure to agree to do any
thereof) with respect to its or the Combined Company's assets to the extent
required by the Merger Agreement; (iv) all other consents, approvals, and
authorizations required to be obtained by either party having been obtained and
remaining in effect at the Effective Time of the Merger, other than any that, if
not obtained, would not have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition, or results of

operations of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or
any consents and approvals of Federated's institutional lenders; (v) the
adoption by Federated's stockholders of the Merger Agreement (which occurred on
November 29, 1994); (vi) a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for the shares of New Combined Company
Stock to be issuable in connection with the Merger having been declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (which occurred on October
21, 1994) and not subject to any stop order or proceedings seeking the same;
(vii) the shares of the New Combined Company Common Stock having been authorized
for listing on the NYSE upon official notice; and (viii) the Bankruptcy Court
having entered the Confirmation Order (which occurred on December 8, 1994), at
least 10 days having passed since entry of such order and it not having been
subject to any stay, and all conditions to the Effective Date of the Plan having
been satisfied or duly waived.
 
    Accordingly, notwithstanding confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy
Court, the Plan and Merger remain subject to certain other conditions, some of
which are beyond Macy's's control.
 
    3. On January 27, 1992, Macy's, together with nine of its subsidiaries,
filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 ("Chapter 11"),
title II of the United States Code, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the
Bankruptcy Court. On January 31, 1992, seventy-eight additional subsidiaries
each commenced a Chapter 11 case in the Bankruptcy Court. The Macy Debtors are
currently operating their respective businesses as debtors-in-possession. Two
statutory creditor committees have been appointed. The cases of Macy's's
subsidiaries that filed such petitions are being jointly administered with the
case of Macy's for procedural purposes only.
 
    The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Macy's have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a
going concern, which assumes continuity of operations in the ordinary course of
business. Additionally, the amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition could materially change in the future because
of the Plan, since such reported amounts do not give effect to adjustments to
the carrying value of the underlying assets or amounts of liabilities that may
ultimately result. As a result of the Chapter 11 cases and circumstances
relating to this event, including Macy's leveraged debt structure, and operating
losses and economic conditions, such realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities are subject to significant uncertainty.
 
    Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect the payment of
pre-petition liabilities are stayed while the Macy Debtors are under the
protection of the Bankruptcy Code. These liabilities are being resolved as part
of the reorganization proceedings. Additional liabilities subject to similar
resolution may arise as a result of claims filed by parties related to the
rejection of any executory contracts, including unexpired leases, and from the
Bankruptcy Court's allowance for contingent and other disputed claims.
 
    On February 13, 1992, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order approving a
debtor-in-possession financing arrangement under a Revolving Credit and Guaranty
Agreement, dated as of January 27, 1992 (which, as amended, through March 31,
1993, is referred to herein as the "Post-Petition Credit Agreement"), among
Macy's, as Borrower, each of the other Macy Debtors, as guarantors, Chemical
Bank, as administrative agent, Bankers Trust Company, as co-agent, and

other financial institutions parties thereto that established a working capital
facility consisting of revolving credit loans and letters of credit.
 
    On August 12, 1993, the Post-Petition Credit Agreement was amended and
restated on similar terms, as approved by a Bankruptcy Court order dated
September 8, 1993, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty
Agreement, among Macy's, as Borrower, each of the other Macy Debtors, as
guarantors, Chemical Bank, as administrative agent, Bankers Trust Company, as
co-agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto (as subsequently
amended, the "Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement"). Under the
Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement, the working capital
facility (the "Working Capital Facility"), consisting of revolving credit loans
and letters of credit, is in the aggregate maximum amount of $550,000,000. On
August 26, 1994, the maximum working capital facility was reduced at Macy's
option by $100,000,000 to $450,000,000 and on October 28, 1994, the maximum
working capital facility was further reduced at Macy's option by $50,000,000 to
$400,000,000 due to lower projected borrowing requirements. The Working Capital
Facility may be used to fund working capital, inventory purchases, capital
expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes of the Macy Debtors.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement are
conditioned upon, among other things, satisfaction of certain Borrowing Base (as
defined therein) requirements, and compliance with restrictions on capital
expenditures and certain other payments, as well as covenants relating to EBITDA
(earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined in
the Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement). The Amended and
Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i)
August 1, 1995 or (ii) the substantial consummation of a plan of reorganization
of the Company or certain of its subsidiaries.
 
    Claims in respect of indebtedness incurred by the Macy Debtors under the
Amended and Restated Post-Petition Credit Agreement are afforded superpriority
administrative expense claim status pursuant to applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code.
 
    Substantially all of Macy's pre-petition short and long-term debt at October
29, 1994 is in default of the terms of the applicable loan agreements and is
subject to settlement under the reorganization process. For financial reporting
purposes, these liabilities, which are being resolved as part of the Chapter 11
process, have been segregated and reclassified as "Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings." Payment of certain pre-petition
liabilities that were approved for payment by the Bankruptcy Court or are
pending approval have been included in the appropriate liability captions.

    Generally, interest on pre-petition debt does not accrue after the
commencement of the Chapter 11 case. If the debts are secured by property with a
value that is greater than the amount of the debt, interest may accrue up to the
value of the collateral. Macy's was accruing interest on secured debt pending
obtaining an estimate of the fair market value of the property securing such
debt. Following negotiations with representatives of the various secured lenders
and the development of the Plan in fiscal 1994, Macy's revised estimates for the
post-petition accrued interest that would be paid upon confirmation of the Plan.
Accordingly, the accrual of interest expense on certain secured debt instruments
ceased. Interest expense on certain other pre-petition secured debt continues to
be accrued but remains subject to settlement. Such accrual of interest on
secured indebtedness is being recorded at the interest rates applicable under
the respective loan agreements without regard to default and penalty provisions
contained therein. Macy's has ceased accruing interest expense on unsecured
debt. Contractual interest not recorded on such unsecured debt aggregated
$53,809,000 in each of the fiscal quarters ended October 29, 1994 and October
30, 1993. Contractual interest not recorded on secured debt aggregated
$17,754,000 for the quarter ended October 29, 1994.
 
    Numerous claims have been asserted in respect of various pre-petition
obligations, which claims individually or in the aggregate may be material and
may not currently be reflected as obligations subject to settlement. The last
day on which these claims may be filed against the Macy Debtors, with certain
exceptions, was December 15, 1992, and over 17,000 claims aggregating an amount
substantially in excess of the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Financial Condition under the caption "Obligations Subject to
Settlement Under Reorganization Proceedings" have been filed as of November 26,
1994. Based on an ongoing review and reconciliation of claims, Macy's believes
that a number of these claims are duplicative of an/or supersede claims
previously asserted. In addition, claims have been filed which do not state a
specific claim amount or as to which a specific claim amount is not readily
determinable. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Court orders entered in 1993, certain exact
duplicate claims and duplicate bondholder claims were expunged. In March 1994,
the Bankruptcy Court ordered the expunging and disallowing of certain proofs of
claims which had been filed after the December 15, 1992 bar date. Claims will
continue to be reviewed and analyzed by Macy's as part of the claims
reconciliation process and objections filed as required. As this review process
continues, the aggregate amount

included in the estimate of petition date obligations subject to settlement may
increase or otherwise be adjusted to reflect the ongoing analyses of claims
filed and the aggregate amounts which may be allowed in respect thereof. Macy's,
at this time, cannot make a prediction as to the aggregate amount of claims
allowed or the ultimate treatment of such allowed claims under a plan of
reorganization.
 
    Commencing on the Chapter 11 filing date, Macy's ceased accruing dividends
on its Convertible Preferred Stock (redeemable) (referred to in these Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements as "Preferred Stock") and has included the
Preferred Stock and the cumulative accrued but unpaid dividends prior to the
filing date on such stock on "Obligations Subject to Settlement Under
Reorganization Proceedings". Under applicable bankruptcy law, the holders of the
Preferred Stock of Macy's are not considered creditors. Under the Plan, all
common and Preferred Stock of Macy's will be cancelled and no distributions will
be made on account of such equity interests.
 
    4. In October 1994, Macy's recorded an unusual charge of $80,000,000
relating to a portion of the severance and related costs resulting from the
proposed Merger (see Note 2). These severance and other costs are primarily
related to the terminations associated with the elimination of Macy's corporate
offices (including the positions of chief executive officer and chief operating
officer) and certain store group executives.
 
    5. The reorganization items--net occurring as a result of the Chapter 11
proceedings have been segregated from operations. The major components of the
reorganization items--net are:

    6. The value of merchandise inventories is determined by the lower of LIFO
(last-in, first-out) cost using the retail inventory method or market for about
75% of the total inventory, and the lower of the FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost
using the retail inventory method or market for the balance of the inventory. If
inventories had been valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market, inventories
would have increased by $121,735,000, $107,563,000 and $119,235,000 at October
29, 1994, October 30, 1993 and July 30, 1994, respectively.
 
    7. The Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("FASB 109") was adopted as of August 1, 1993. FASB 109
requires, in the year of adoption, an adjustment of certain assets and
liabilities that resulted from certain business combinations, such as the 1986
Acquisition. This statement requires that a deferred tax liability be recognized
for the tax effects of taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets for
the tax

                 QUARTERS ENDED OCTOBER 29, 1994 (13 WEEKS) AND

effects of deductible temporary differences, tax credit carryforwards and
operating loss carryforwards. The adoption of FASB 109 resulted in a favorable
cumulative effect adjustment of $185,340,000. Income tax benefit for the
quarters ended October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993 was calculated in
accordance with FASB 109.
 
    At October 29, 1994, Macy's had a deferred tax asset of $286,742,000
representing primarily a federal income tax benefit offset by a valuation
allowance of like amount.
 
    In September 1994, the California Franchise Tax Board approved a settlement
of approximately $17 million relating to fiscal years 1976 through 1991 which
resulted in net benefit of $14.8 million. Such benefit was recorded in the
quarter ended October 29, 1994.
 
    On November 9, 1994, Macy's entered into a closing agreement with the
Internal Revenue Service which fixed the net operating loss carryover for
federal tax purposes at $815,146,000 through fiscal year 1993. Such closing
agreement resulted in a state tax benefit of approximately $11,200,000. Macy's
estimates that the federal net operating loss carryover will increase by
$232,000,000 for fiscal year 1994 results (with the aggregate net operating loss
carryover at July 30, 1994 of $1,047,146,000). The loss carryover will be
available to offset future taxable income through the year 2009. The ability of
the Combined Company to utilize such loss carryover is dependent upon a number
of factors. There is no expiration date on approximately $12,000,000 of the tax
credit carryforwards.
 
    8. The Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 112, "Accounting for Post
Employment Benefits" (FASB 112"), was adopted as of July 31, 1994. FASB 112
requires Macy's to recognize, during the employees active years of service, an
obligation for post employment benefits provided to former or active employees,
after employment but before retirement. The adoption of FASB 112 resulted in an
unfavorable cumulative effect adjustment (non-cash) of $10,657,000 net of taxes.
 
    9. Net retail sales included sales from licensed departments of $18,877,000
and $15,159,000 for the quarters ended October 29, 1994 and October 30, 1993.
 
    10. Primary earnings/(loss) per share of common stock attributable to common
stockholders was computed based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings per share of common stock
assumed the conversion of Preferred Stock. The effect of the assumed conversion
of the Preferred Stock on the amounts per share for the quarter ended October
29, 1994 is antidilutive and therefore only primary earnings/(loss) per share of
common stock is presented.
 
    11. In November 1994, Macy's and Federated announced plans to discontinue
operations of the I. Magnin retail store group. Four or more I. Magnin locations
are expected to be converted to Macy's or Bullock's stores. Options for the
remaining locations will be explored. The costs associated with the
discontinuation of the I. Magnin operations have not been estimated at this
time.
 
    12. Certain reclassifications have been made to the October 30, 1993
condensed consolidated financial statements to conform with classifications used
at October 29, 1994.
