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 February 1, 1997 (the "1996 10-K"). The
accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read
in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto in the 1996 10-K.
Because of the seasonal nature of the general merchandising
business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended
May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996 (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
May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996, 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.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), was issued in February 1997. The
statement establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share and is effective for financial statements
for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on earnings per
share computations. Earnings (loss) per share and fully
diluted earnings (loss) per share for the 13 weeks ended May
3, 1997 and May 4, 1996 would be substantially identical to
the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 128.
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts for the 13
weeks ended May 4, 1996 to conform with the classifications of
such amounts for the 52 weeks ended February 1, 1997.
2. Inventory Valuation Adjustments Related to Consolidation and
Business Integration and
Consolidation Expenses
In connection with the consolidation of merchandise
inventories for acquired and pre-existing businesses, the
Company recorded one-time inventory valuation adjustments
related to merchandise in lines of business that were
eliminated or replaced as a separate component of cost of
sales. For the 13 weeks ended May 4, 1996, the amount
recorded related to the consolidation of Broadway into the
Company's Macy's West division.
Additionally, the Company incurred certain one-time costs
related to the integration and consolidation of acquired and
pre-existing businesses and classified such costs as business
integration and consolidation expenses as a separate component
of selling, general and administrative expenses. During the
13 weeks ended May 4, 1996, the Company recorded $41.1 million
of business integration and consolidation expenses consisting
of $29.3 million of costs associated with the integration of
Broadway into the Company (related primarily to the
incremental costs associated with converting the Broadway
stores to other nameplates including advertising, credit card
issuance and promotion and other name change expenses and the
costs of operating Broadway central office functions for a
transitional period), $10.2 million of costs related to the
consolidation of Macy's and $1.6 million of costs related to
other support operation restructurings.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
For purposes of the following discussion, all references to
"first quarter of 1997" and "first quarter of 1996" are to the
Company's 13-week fiscal periods ended May 3, 1997 and May 4,
1996, respectively.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the 13 Weeks Ended May 3, 1997 and May 4, 1996
Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $3,409.1
million, compared to net sales of $3,300.7 million for the
first quarter of 1996, an increase of 3.3%. On a comparable
store basis, sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased
2.5% over the first quarter of 1996. Sales for the first
quarter of 1997, which were negatively impacted by
unseasonably cold weather in some parts of the country,
reflected growth in private label merchandise and increased
strength in California markets.
Cost of sales was 61.2% of net sales for the first quarter of
1997, compared to 62.1% for the first quarter of 1996. Cost
of sales for the first quarter of 1996 included $36.6 million
of one-time inventory valuation adjustments related to
merchandise in lines of business that were eliminated or
replaced in connection with the consolidation of Broadway's
merchandise inventories into the Company. Excluding these
inventory valuation adjustments from the first quarter of
1996, cost of sales would have increased by 0.2% of net sales
in the first quarter of 1997, due to higher merchandise
markdowns associated with the elimination of certain consumer
electronics lines of business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 34.5% of net
sales for the first quarter of 1997 compared to 36.2% for the
first quarter of 1996. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the first quarter of 1996 included $41.1 million
of one-time costs related to the integration and consolidation
of acquired and pre-existing businesses as business
integration and consolidation expenses ("BICE"). Excluding
BICE, selling, general and administrative expenses would have
been 34.9% of net sales for the first quarter of 1996. The
major factor contributing to the improvement for the first
quarter of 1997 in the selling, general and administrative
expense rate (excluding BICE for the first quarter of 1996)
was lower distribution-related expenses resulting from
restructuring and technological improvements within the
merchandise distribution process.
Net interest expense was $104.4 million for the first quarter
of 1997, compared to $112.3 million for the first quarter of
1996. The lower interest expense for the first quarter of
1997 is principally due to the lower levels of borrowings.
The Company's effective income tax rate of 44.9% for the first
quarter of 1997 differs from the federal income tax statutory
rate of 35.0% principally because of the effect of state and
local income taxes and permanent differences arising from the
amortization of intangible assets.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash from
operations, cash on hand and certain available credit
facilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter
of 1997 was $101.2 million, an increase of $151.8 million from
the net cash used by operating activities in the first quarter
of 1996 of $50.6 million. The major factors contributing to
this improvement were improved operating results and greater
reductions in accounts receivables.
Net cash used by investing activities was $22.2 million for
the first quarter of 1997, with purchases of property and
equipment totaling $49.9 million and dispositions of property
and equipment totaling $27.7 million. The Company opened one
new Bloomingdale's store in California and closed four stores
in the first quarter of 1997.
Net cash used by the Company for all financing activities was
$75.3 million for the first quarter of 1997. During the first
quarter of 1997, the Company repaid $126.8 million of debt.
The major components of debt repaid were $59.4 million of
mortgages and $46.0 million of net borrowings under the
Company's revolving credit and commercial paper facilities.
On May 5, 1997, a $200.0 million installment of a note
receivable was received and $176.0 million of borrowings under
a note monetization facility were repaid. Such amounts were
included in accounts receivable and short-term debt,
respectively, as of May 3, 1997.
Management believes the department store business 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
the issuance of debt or other securities, or other possible
capital markets transactions, the proceeds of which could be
used to refinance current indebtedness or for other corporate
purposes.

3. Shares Available Under the Plan. Subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 8, the number of Common Shares that may be
issued or transferred under this Plan upon the exercise of Option
Rights or Appreciation Rights or as Restricted Shares and
released from substantial risks of forfeiture thereof, may not
exceed the sum of (i) 7.5 million and (ii) the number of Common
Shares which remain available for issuance under this Plan
immediately prior to the Effective Date. The aggregate number of
Common Shares issued under this Plan upon the grant of Restricted
Shares may not exceed the sum of (i) 1.0 million and (ii) the
number of Common Shares which remain available for issuance under
this Plan upon the grant of Restricted Shares immediately prior
to the Effective Date. Shares issued under this Plan may be
shares of original issuance or treasury shares or a combination
of the foregoing. No Participant will be granted Option Rights
or Appreciation Rights, in the aggregate, for more than 1.0
million Common Shares in any period of three fiscal years of the
Company, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.
4. Option Rights. The Board may from time to time
authorize the grant to Participants of options to purchase Common
Shares upon such terms and conditions as it may determine in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Each grant will specify the number of Common
Shares to which it pertains and the term during which the
rights granted thereunder will exist. The aggregate number
of Common Shares to which the grants to any Non-Employee
Director in any fiscal year of the Company pertain shall not
exceed 3,500 (subject to adjustment as provided in Section
8).
(b) Each grant will specify an Option Price per share,
which may not be less than the Market Value per Share as of
the Date of Grant.
(c) Each grant will specify whether the Option Price
is payable (i) in cash, (ii) by the actual or constructive
transfer to the Company of nonforfeitable, unrestricted
Common Shares already owned by the Optionees (or other
consideration authorized pursuant to Section 4(d)) having an
actual or constructive value as of the time of exercise as
determined by the Board or in accordance with the applicable
agreement referred to in Section 4(i), equal to the total
Option Price, or (iii) by a combination of such methods of
payment.
(d) The Board may determine, at or after the Date of
Grant, that payment of the Option Price of any option (other
than an Incentive Stock Option) may also be made in whole or
in part in the form of Restricted Shares or other Common
Shares that are forfeitable or subject to restrictions on
transfer, or other Option Rights (based on the Spread on the
date of exercise). Unless otherwise determined by the Board
at or after the Date of Grant, whenever any Option Price is
paid in whole or in part by means of any of the forms of
consideration specified in this paragraph, the Common Shares
received upon the exercise of the Option Rights will be
subject to such risks of forfeiture or restrictions on
transfer as may correspond to any that apply to the
consideration surrendered, but only to the extent of (i) the
number of shares surrendered in payment of the Option Price
or (ii) the Spread of any unexercisable portion of Option
Rights surrendered in payment of the Option Price.
(e) Any grant may provide for deferred payment of the
Option Price from the proceeds of sale through a bank or
broker on the exercise date of some or all of the shares to
which such exercise relates.
(f) Successive grants may be made to the same
Participant whether or not any Option Rights previously
granted to such Participant remain unexercised.
(g) Each grant will specify the period or periods of
continuous service by the Optionee with the Company or any
Subsidiary which is necessary before the Option Rights or
installments thereof will become exercisable and may provide
for the earlier exercise of such Option Rights in the event
of a Change in Control or other event.
(h) Option Rights granted under this Plan may be
(i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonqualified Stock
Options, or (iii) combinations of the foregoing.
(i) Each grant of Option Rights will be evidenced by
an agreement executed on behalf of the Company by any
officer, director, or, if authorized by the Board, employee
of the Company and delivered to the Optionee and containing
such terms and provisions as the Board may approve, except
that in no event will any such agreement include any
provision prohibited by the express terms of this Plan.
5. Appreciation Rights. The Board may also authorize the
grant to any Optionee (other than a Non-Employee Director) of
Appreciation Rights in respect of Option Rights granted
hereunder. An Appreciation Right will be a right of the
Optionee, exercisable by surrender of the related Option Right or
in accordance with the applicable agreement referred to in
Section 5(f), to receive from the Company an amount, as
determined by the Board, which will be expressed as a percentage
of the Spread at the time of exercise. Each such grant will be
in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Any grant may provide that the amount payable on
exercise of an Appreciation Right may be paid by the Company
in cash, in Common Shares, or in any combination thereof and
may either grant to the Optionee or retain in the Board the
right to elect among those alternatives.
(b) Any grant may specify that the amount payable on
exercise of an Appreciation Right may not exceed a maximum
specified by the Board as of the Date of Grant.
(c) Any grant may specify waiting periods before
exercise and permissible exercise dates or periods and will
provide that no Appreciation Right may be exercised except
at a time when the related Option Right is also exercisable
and at a time when the Spread is positive.
(d) Any grant may specify that such Appreciation Right
may be exercised only in the event of a Change in Control or
other event.
(e) Any grant may provide that, in the event of a
Change in Control, then any such Appreciation Right will
automatically be deemed to have been exercised by the
Optionee, the related Option Right will be deemed to have
been surrendered by the Optionee and will be cancelled, and
the Company forthwith upon the consummation thereof will pay
to the Optionee in cash an amount equal to the Spread at the
time of such consummation.
(f) Each grant of Appreciation Rights will be
evidenced by an agreement executed on behalf of the Company
by any officer, director, or, if authorized by the Board,
employee of the Company and delivered to and accepted by the
Optionee, which agreement will describe such Appreciation
Rights, identify the related Option Rights, state that such
Appreciation Rights are subject to all the terms and
conditions of this Plan, and contain such other terms and
provisions as the Board may approve, except that in no event
will any such agreement include any provision prohibited by
the express terms of this Plan.
6. Restricted Shares. The Board may also authorize the
issuance or transfer of Restricted Shares to Participants (other
than Non-Employee Directors) in accordance with the following
provisions:
(a) Each such issuance or transfer will constitute an
immediate transfer of the ownership of Common Shares to the
Participant in consideration of the performance of services,
entitling such Participant to voting, dividend, and other
ownership rights, but subject to the substantial risk of
forfeiture provided below.
(b) Each such issuance or transfer may be made without
additional consideration.
(c) Each such issuance or transfer will provide that
the Restricted Shares covered thereby will be subject,
except (if the Board so determines) in the event of a Change
in Control to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" within the
meaning of Section 83 of the Code, for a period to be
determined by the Board at the Date of Grant; provided,
however, that at least a portion of the Restricted Shares
covered by such issuance or transfer will be subject to a
"substantial risk of forfeiture" within the meaning of
Section 8.3 of the Code for a period of (i) at least one (1)
year following the Date of Grant in the case of a
performance-based grant of Restricted Shares, and (ii) at
least three (3) years following the Date of Grant in the
case of any grant of Restricted Shares that is not
performance based.
(d) Each such issuance or transfer will provide that
during the period for which such substantial risk of
forfeiture is to continue, the transferability of the
Restricted Shares will be prohibited or restricted in the
manner and to the extent prescribed in or pursuant to the
agreement referred to in Section 6(e) (which restrictions
may include, without limitation, rights of repurchase or
first refusal or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares
to a continuing substantial risk of forfeiture in the hands
of any transferee).
(e) Each issuance or transfer of Restricted Shares
will be evidenced by an agreement executed on behalf of the
Company by any officer, director, or, if authorized by the
Board, employee of the Company and delivered to and accepted
by the Participant and containing such terms and provisions
as the Board may approve except that in no event will any
such agreement include any provision prohibited by the
express terms of the Plan. All certificates representing
Restricted Shares will be held in custody by the Company
until all restrictions thereon have lapsed, together with a
stock power executed by the Participant in whose name such
certificates are registered, endorsed in blank and covering
such Restricted Shares, which may be executed by any officer
of the Company upon a determination by the Board that an
event causing the forfeiture of the Restricted Shares has
occurred.
7. Transferability. (a) Except as provided in Section
7(b), no Option Right, Appreciation Right, or Restricted Share
granted, issued, or transferred under this Plan will be
transferable otherwise than (i) upon death, by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order, as that term is defined in the Code or
the rules thereunder Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or the rules
thereunder, or (iii) to a fully revocable trust of which the
Optionee is treated as the owner for federal income tax purposes.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(a),
Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, and Restricted Shares
(including Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, and
Restricted Shares granted, issued, or transferred under this
Plan prior to the Effective Date) will be transferable by a
Participant who at the time of such transfer is eligible to
earn "Long-Term Incentive Awards" under the Company's 1992
Incentive Bonus Plan, as amended (or any successor plan
thereto) or is a Non-Employee Director, without payment of
consideration therefor by the transferee, to any one or more
members of the Participant's Immediate Family (or to one or
more trusts established solely for the benefit of one or
more members of the Participant's Immediate Family or to one
or more partnerships in which the only partners are members
of the Participant's Immediate Family); provided, however,
that (i) no such transfer will be effective unless
reasonable prior notice thereof is delivered to the Company
and such transfer is thereafter effected in accordance with
any terms and conditions that shall have been made
applicable thereto by the Company or the Board and (ii) any
such transferee will be subject to the same terms and
conditions hereunder as the Participant.
(c) The Board may specify at the Date of Grant that
part or all of the Common Shares that are (i) to be issued
or transferred by the Company upon the exercise of Option
Rights or Appreciation Rights or (ii) no longer subject to
the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on
transfer referred to in Section 6, will be subject to
further restrictions on transfer.
8. Adjustments. The Board may make or provide for such
adjustments in the numbers of Common Shares covered by
outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights granted
hereunder, in the prices per share applicable to such Option
Rights and Appreciation Rights, and in the kind of shares covered
thereby, as the Board may determine is equitably required to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants
that otherwise would result from (a) any stock dividend, stock
split, combination of shares, recapitalization, or other change
in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger,
consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up,
reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, or other
distribution of assets or issuance of rights or warrants to
purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or
event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that no such adjustment in the numbers of Common Shares
covered by outstanding Option Rights or Appreciation Rights will
be made unless such adjustment would change by more than 5% the
number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of Option Rights
or Appreciation Rights; provided, further, however, that any
adjustment which by reason of this Section 8 is not required to
be made currently will be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment. In the event of any such
transaction or event, the Board may provide in substitution for
any or all outstanding awards under this Plan such alternative
consideration as it may determine to be equitable in the
circumstances and may require in connection therewith the
surrender of all awards so replaced. The Board may also make or
provide for such adjustments in the numbers of shares specified
in Section 3 as the Board may determine is appropriate to reflect
any transaction or event described in this Section 8.
9. Fractional Shares. The Company will not be required to
issue any fractional Common Shares pursuant to this Plan. The
Board may provide for the elimination of fractions and for the
settlement of fractions in cash.
10. Withholding Taxes. To the extent that the Company is
required to withhold federal, state, local, or foreign taxes in
connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a
Participant or other person under this Plan, and the amounts
available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient,
it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the
realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other
person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment
of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which
arrangements may include relinquishment of a portion of such
benefit.
11. Administration of the Plan. (a) This Plan will be
administered by the Board, which may from time to time delegate
all or any part of its authority under this Plan to the
Compensation Committee or any subcommittee thereof.
(b) The Board will take such actions as are required
to be taken by it hereunder, may take the actions permitted
to be taken by it hereunder, and will have the authority
from time to time to interpret this Plan and to adopt,
amend, and rescind rules and regulations for implementing
and administering this Plan. All such actions will be in
the sole discretion of the Board, and when taken, will be
final, conclusive, and binding. Without limiting the
generality or effect of the foregoing, the interpretation
and construction by the Board of any provision of this Plan
or of any agreement, notification, or document evidencing
the grant of Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, or
Restricted Shares, and any determination by the Board in its
sole discretion pursuant to any provision of this Plan or of
any such agreement, notification, or document will be final
and conclusive. Without limiting the generality or effect
of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, no member of the Board will be liable for any such
action or determination made in good faith.
(c) The provisions of Sections 4, 5, and 6 will be
interpreted as authorizing the Board, in taking any action
under or pursuant to this Plan, to take any action it
determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate subject
only to the express limitations therein contained and no
authorization in any such Section or other provision of this
Plan is intended or may be deemed to constitute a limitation
on the authority of the Board.
(d) The existence of this Plan or any right granted or
other action taken pursuant hereto will not affect the
authority of the Board or the Company to take any other
action, including in respect of the grant or award of any
option, security, or other right or benefit, whether or not
authorized by this Plan, subject only to limitations imposed
by applicable law as from time to time applicable thereto.
12. Amendments, Etc. (a) This Plan may be amended from
time to time by the Board, but without further approval by the
holders of a majority of the Common Shares actually voting on the
matter at a meeting of the Company's stockholders or such other
approval as may be required by Rule 16b-3, no such amendment will
(i) increase the maximum numbers of Common Shares or Restricted
Shares issuable pursuant to Section 3 or the maximum number of
Common Shares that may be subject to Option Rights or
Appreciation Rights granted to any Participant in any period of
three fiscal years of the Company (except that adjustments and
additions authorized by this Plan will not be limited by this
provision) or (ii) cause Rule 16b-3 to become inapplicable to
this Plan or Option Rights, Appreciation Rights, or Restricted
Shares granted, issued, or transferred hereunder during any
period in which the Company has any class of equity securities
registered pursuant to Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act.
(b) In case of termination of employment by reason of
death, disability, or normal or early retirement, or in the
case of hardship or other special circumstances, of a
Participant who holds an Option Right or Appreciation Right
not immediately exercisable in full, or any Restricted
Shares as to which the substantial risk of forfeiture or the
prohibition or restriction on transfer has not lapsed, or
who holds Common Shares subject to any transfer restriction
imposed pursuant to Section 7(b), the Board may take such
action as it deems equitable in the circumstances or in the
best interests of the Company, including without limitation
waiving or modifying any other limitation or requirement
under any such award.
(c) This Plan will not confer upon any Participant any
right with respect to continuance of employment or other
service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it
interfere in any way with any right the Company or any
Subsidiary would otherwise have to terminate or modify the
terms of such Participant's employment or other service at
any time.
(d) To the extent that any provision of this Plan
would prevent any Option Right that was intended to qualify
as an Incentive Stock Option from qualifying as such, that
provision will be null and void with respect to such Option
Right, but will remain in effect for other Option Rights and
there will be no further effect on any provision of this
Plan.
(e) This Plan will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without
giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.
If any provision of this Plan is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, no other provision of this Plan will be
affected thereby.
13. Effectiveness. The amendment and restatement of this
Plan set forth herein will not become effective unless the
holders of a majority of the Common Shares present in person or
by proxy at a meeting of the stockholders of the Company and
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors approve
the amendments to be effected hereby.
