                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A description of the Company's significant accounting policies is included in
the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28,
1995 (the "1994 10-K").  The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and 
notes thereto in the 1994 10-K. 

Because of the seasonal nature of the general merchandising business, the 
results of operations for the 13 weeks ended April 29, 1995 and April 30, 1994
(which do not include the Christmas season) are not indicative of such results 
for the fiscal year.

The Consolidated Financial Statements for the 13 weeks ended April 29, 1995 
and April 30, 1994, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments 
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to 
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

2.   ACQUISITION OF COMPANIES
On December 31, 1993, Federated Noteholding Corporation ("FNC"), a wholly 
owned subsidiary of the Company, paid $109.3 million in cash and issued a
promissory note (the "Promissory Note") in the principal amount of $340.0 
million to The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"), 
in exchange for 50% of a claim (the "Prudential Claim") held by Prudential 
in the Chapter 11 reorganization of R. H. Macy & Co., Inc. ("Macy's") 
and an option to acquire the remaining 50% of the Prudential Claim (the 
Prudential Option").  This investment was included in other assets in 
the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 30, 1994.

On December 19, 1994, the Company completed its acquisition of Macy's 
pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (the "Macy's POR") of Macy's and 
substantially all of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Macy's Debtors").
Pursuant to the Macy's POR, Macy's merged with the Company, which became
responsible for making distributions of cash and debt and equity securities to
the holders of allowed claims against the Macy's Debtors pursuant to the Macy's
POR.  In connection with the acquisition, FNC exercised the Prudential Option,
whereby it acquired the remainder of the Prudential Claim in exchange for 
$469.6 million in cash, and repaid the full amount of indebtedness under the 
Promissory Note.  The total purchase price of the acquisition, net of amounts 
issued or paid to wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (including FNC),
was approximately $3,815.9 million and consisted of the following:

The Macy's acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method and, 
accordingly, the results of operations of Macy's have been included in 
the Company's results of operations since the date of acquisition and 
the purchase price has been allocated to Macy's assets and liabilities 
based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  
Including certain adjustments recorded in the 13 weeks ended April 29, 
1995 to the assets and liabilities acquired, the excess of cost over net 
assets acquired is approximately $350.6 million.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations gives 
effect to the Macy's acquisition and related financing transactions as if 
such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

3.   BUSINESS INTEGRATION AND CONSOLIDATION EXPENSES

During the 13 weeks ended April 29, 1995, the Company recorded $83.3 
million of business integration and consolidation expenses associated 
with the integration of Macy's into the Company ($73.5 million) and the 
consolidation of the Company's Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions 
($9.8 million).  The primary components of the Macy's integration expenses 
were $40.0 million of inventory valuation adjustments to merchandise in
lines of business which the Company, subsequent to the acquisition, 
eliminated or replaced, $8.6 million of severance costs and $24.9 million 
of other costs and expenses associated with integrating Macy's into the 
Company, including costs to close and sell certain stores and to convert 
a number of stores to other nameplates.  Of the $9.8 million of expenses 
associated with the divisional consolidation referred to above, $7.9 million
relates to inventory valuation adjustments to merchandise of the affected 
divisions in lines of business which were eliminated or replaced as a 
result of the consolidation.  The Company's accrued severance liability 
related to business integration and consolidation expenses was reduced 
from $26.1 million at January 28, 1995 to $12.0 million at April 29, 1995.
As of April 29, 1995, this accrued severance liability covered approximately 
200 employees.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
              OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
             
The Company acquired Macy's on December 19, 1994, and effected other
acquisitions (and dispositions) during its 1994 fiscal year.  Under the
purchase method of accounting, the assets, liabilities and results of 
operations associated with such acquisitions have been included in the 
Company's financial position and results of operations since the 
respective dates thereof.  Accordingly, the financial position and results 
of operations of the Company presented and discussed herein are generally 
not directly comparable between years.  For purposes of the following 
discussion, all references to "first quarter of 1995" and "first quarter of 
1994" are to the Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended April 29, 1995 and 
April 30, 1994, respectively.
  
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE 13 WEEKS ENDED APRIL 29, 1995 AND APRIL 30, 1994

Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 totaled $2,988.0 million, compared 
to net sales of $1,653.6 million for the first quarter of 1994, an increase 
of 80.7%.  Since April 30, 1994, the company added 142 department stores 
(121 through the Macy's acquisition) and more than 135 specialty and 
clearance stores and closed eight department stores. All of the specialty 
and clearance stores were added through the Macy's acquisition.  Comparable 
store sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased 1.2% over the first 
quarter of 1994, including sales of the Macy's stores that were open 
throughout both such quarters.

Cost of sales was 61.0% as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of 
1995, compared to 60.9% for the first quarter of 1994. Cost of sales includes 
a charge of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 1995 compared to a charge 
of $5.2 million in the first quarter of 1994 resulting from the valuation of 
merchandise inventory on the last-in, firstout basis. Additionally, because
the Macy's divisions have historically experienced higher inventory shortages 
than the Company prior to the Macy's acquisition, cost of sales for the first 
quarter of 1995 reflects higher anticipated inventory shortage adjustments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 35.8% as a percent of net 
sales for the first quarter of 1995 compared to 32.8% for the first quarter 
of 1994.  Since the credit card programs relating to the acquired Macy's
divisions are owned by a third party, revenue from credit operations 
decreased as a percentage of sales.  Because selling, general and 
administrative expenses are reported net of revenue from credit operations, 
such decrease was the major factor contributing to the increase in the 
selling, general and administrative expense rate.

Business integration and consolidation expenses for the first quarter of 1995 
consist of $73.5 million associated with the integration of Macy's into the 
Company and $9.8 million related to the consolidation of the Company's 
Rich's/Goldsmith's and Lazarus divisions.  During the remainder of fiscal 
1995, the Company presently expects to incur approximately $170.0 million of 
additional business integration and consolidation expenses as a result of the 
Macy's acquisition, the divisional consolidation referred to above and the 
discontinuation of  the Company's clearance store operations.

                        FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.
                        
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
        OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONTINUED) 


Net interest expense was $97.6 million for the first quarter of 1995,
compared to  $45.3 million for the first quarter of 1994.  The higher 
interest expense for the first quarter of 1995 is principally due to the 
higher levels of borrowings incurred in connection with the acquisition of 
Macy's.  Income tax benefit was $29.7 million for the first quarter of 1995.  
This amount differs from the amount computed by applying the federal income 
tax statutory rate of 35.0% to income before income taxes principally because 
of permanent differences arising from the amortization of intangible assets 
and state and local income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash 
on hand and available credit facilities.  

Net cash used by operating activities in the first quarter of 1995 was $209.4 
million, an increase of $116.8 million from the net cash used by operating 
activities in the first quarter of 1994 of $92.6 million.  Higher payments of 
non-merchandise payables and accrued liabilities (including merger - related 
liabilities) were the most significant factors contributing to this increased 
use of cash.  Net cash provided by the Company for all financing activities 
was $175.3 million for the first quarter of 1995, and net cash used in 
investing activities was $22.2 million. During the first quarter of 1995, 
the Company issued $311.9 million of short-term debt under the Company's 
bank credit facility and receivables backed commercial paper program and 
repaid $107.2 million of debt, consisting primarily of the Company's 
subsidiary trade obligations.  The Company opened two new department stores 
and closed three department stores in the first quarter of 1995.

Management believes the department store industry will continue to 
consolidate.  Accordingly, the Company intends from time to time to consider 
additional acquisitions of department store assets and companies. 
Management of the Company believes that, with respect to its current 
operations, cash on hand and funds from operations, together with its credit 
facilities, will be sufficient to cover its reasonably foreseeable working 
capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements. Acquisition 
transactions, if any, are expected to be financed through a combination of 
cash on hand and from operations and the possible issuance from time to time 
of long-term debt or other securities.  Depending upon conditions in the 
capital markets and other factors, the Company will from time to time 
consider other possible capital markets transactions to reduce its cost of
capital, including the refinancing of indebtedness.

                        FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES, INC.

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information regarding legal proceedings in the 1994 10K covers events 
known to the Company and occurring prior to March 30, 1995.  The following is 
a general description of certain developments in the legal proceedings known 
to the Company that arose subsequent to that date and prior to June 6, 1995.

CASH PAYMENT CLAIMS AGAINST MACY'S DEBTORS.  As reported in the 1994 10-K, 
certain claims or portions thereof (collectively the "Cash Payment Claims") 
against the Macy's Debtors which, to the extent allowed by the United States 
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, will be paid in cash 
pursuant to the Macy's POR, are currently disputed by the Company. As of June
6, 1995, the aggregate face amount of disputed Cash Payment Claims was 
approximately $838.3 million, while the estimated allowed amount thereof was 
approximately $336.7 million.  Although there can be no assurance with 
respect thereto, the Company believes that the actual allowed amount of 
disputed Cash Payment Claims will not be materially greater than the 
estimated allowed amount thereof.  

OTHER PROCEEDINGS.  The Company and its subsidiaries are also involved in 
various legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of their business.  
Management does not expect that any of such proceedings will have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
