Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
          ------------------------------------

                           GENERAL

          On October 11, 1995, a wholly owned subsidiary ("Newco") of Federated
Department Stores, Inc. ("Federated") merged with and into Broadway Stores, Inc.
("Broadway") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 14,
1995 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Broadway, Federated, and Newco.  At the
effective time of such merger (the "Merger"), among other things, (i) each then-
outstanding share of common stock of Broadway ("Broadway Common Stock") was
converted into the right to receive 0.27 shares of common stock of Federated
("Federated Common Stock"), (ii) each then-outstanding share of Series A
Preferred Stock of Broadway was converted into the right to receive one one-
thousandth of a share of new Series A Preferred Stock of Broadway (as the
surviving corporation in the Merger), and (iii) each then-outstanding share of
common stock of Newco was converted into 370.44 shares of common stock of
Broadway (as the surviving corporation in the Merger).  Immediately following
the Merger, Federated owned all 37,044 outstanding shares of the common stock of
Broadway, which shares, after giving effect to the issuance pursuant to the
Merger of shares of new Series A Preferred Stock of Broadway, represented
approximately 98.0% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding
capital stock of Broadway.

          In connection with the Merger, a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated
("FNC II") purchased from The Prudential Insurance Company of America
("Prudential") certain mortgage indebtedness of Broadway (the
"Broadway/Prudential Mortgage Debt") for consideration consisting of a $221.1
million promissory note of FNC II and 6,751,055 shares of Federated Common Stock
(subject to possible adjustment based upon the trading prices for Federated
Common Stock during the period of 10 trading days following the consummation of
the Merger).

          Prior to the Merger, Broadway operated department stores that sold a
wide range of merchandise, including women's, men's, and children's apparel,
cosmetics, home furnishings, and other consumer goods.  The assets of Broadway
used in such business prior to the Merger included, among others, interests in
real estate and improvements thereon, store fixtures, and equipment.  Although
Federated anticipates that a number of Broadway's stores will be disposed of, as
of the date hereof 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.  Federated anticipates that Broadway's retained
department stores will be converted into Macy's, Bullock's, or Bloomingdale's
stores commencing in 1996.

                         CERTAIN FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

          On September 27, 1995, Federated completed a public offering of $350.0
million aggregate principal amount of 5% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003
of Federated (the "New Convertible Notes").  On October 6, 1995, Federated
completed a public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8-
1/8% Senior Notes due 2002 of Federated (the "New Senior Notes").  The foregoing
offerings (collectively, the "Offerings") resulted in combined net proceeds to
Federated of approximately $733.9 million, of which (i) approximately $313.4
million was deposited by Federated on October 6, 1995 for application to the
prepayment and redemption of the entire $307.4 million outstanding principal
amount of the Senior Convertible Discount Notes due 2004 of Federated (the
"Federated Convertible Notes") together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, (ii) up to approximately $147.6 million is expected to be used to fund
the aggregate purchase price for such 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, and (iii) the remainder, 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 full application thereof as described
above, the net proceeds of the Offerings are expected to be used by Federated to
temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings.   



                                 CAPITALIZATION

          The following table sets forth (i) the capitalization of each of
Federated and Broadway as of July 29, 1995 and (ii) the pro forma capitalization
of Federated as of that date, giving effect to (a) the consummation of the
Merger, (b) 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 and
7,207,207 shares of Federated Common Stock, and (c) the consummation of the
Offerings and the application of the net proceeds thereof to prepay and redeem
the entire outstanding principal amount of the Federated Convertible Notes, to
repurchase the entire outstanding principal amount of the Broadway Convertible
Notes, and to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings (see "Certain
Financing Transactions") 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





























                                       -3-

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 or as of any 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, (ii) 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 and 7,207,207 shares of Federated Common
Stock (the "Debt Purchase"), and (iii) the consummation of the Offerings and the
application of the net proceeds thereof to prepay and redeem the entire
outstanding principal amount of the Federated Convertible Notes, to repurchase
the entire outstanding principal amount of the Broadway Convertible Notes, and
to temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings (see "Certain Financing
Transactions"), 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 R.H. Macy &
Co., Inc. ("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 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 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 be read in conjunction with such historical financial































                                       -6-




<PAGE>






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
date of the Merger.  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.

    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).

(a)     For the purposes of determining the ratio or deficiency of earnings to
         fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes plus
         fixed charges (excluding interest capitalized).  Fixed charges
         represent interest incurred, amortization of debt expense, and that
         portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be equivalent
         of interest.
