<p><font face="Arial">Notes to Financial Statements</font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Sears DC Corp. ("SDC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears"), was formed to</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>borrow in domestic and foreign debt
markets and lend the proceeds of such borrowings to Sears and</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>certain direct and indirect subsidiaries
of Sears in exchange for their unsecured notes. SDC raised funds</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>through the sale of its medium-term
notes and direct placement of commercial paper with corporate and</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>institutional investors. The only
current outstanding debt of SDC is two series of medium-term notes.</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>SDC does not plan to issue additional
debt.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Under an agreement between SDC and
Sears, the interest rate paid by Sears on its unsecured notes is</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>designed to produce earnings sufficient
to cover SDC's fixed charges at least 1.005 times. Required</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>payments of principal and interest
to SDC under the Sears borrowing agreement are intended to be</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>sufficient to allow SDC to make timely
payments of principal and interest to the holders of its securities.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>significant accounting policies used
in the presentation of these financial statements are consistent with</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>the summary of significant accounting
policies set forth in SDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>year ended January 1, 2000, and these
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>financial statements and notes found
therein. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>(consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>periods should not be considered indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The medium-term notes are not redeemable
except for notes having a stated maturity at the time of issue</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>of more than seven years which may
be redeemed under certain circumstances in the event of declining</font></font>

<br>
<br>
<br>
<p><u><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Financial Condition:</font></font></u>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>SDC has invested funds in the promissory
notes of Sears, which pay interest sufficient to cover SDC's</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>fixed charges at least 1.005 times,
and in highly liquid short-term investments.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The $213.0 million in outstanding medium-term
notes as of April 1, 2000 are not redeemable prior to their</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>stated maturity except for notes having
a stated maturity at the time of issue of more than seven years</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>which may be redeemed under certain
circumstances in the event of declining Discover Card receivables</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>of Sears former subsidiary, Dean Witter,
which is now a part of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Medium-term notes outstanding decreased
28.6% to $213.0 million as of April 1, 2000 from $298.2 million</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>as of April 3, 1999. The decrease
in the notes resulted from the payment on certain notes that reached</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>their maturity date. The corresponding
decrease in the notes of Sears is due to the need to fund the</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>payments on the medium-term notes
outstanding.</font></font>
<p><u><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Results of Operations:</font></font></u>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Revenues decreased 32.4% from $7.1
million to $4.8 million for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2000, and</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>April 3, 1999, respectively. The decrease
is a result of the reduction in the average amount of notes of</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Sears outstanding during 2000 compared
to 1999. The decrease in the average amount of medium-term</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>notes outstanding led to interest
and related expenses decreasing 32.4% from $7.1 million to $4.8 million</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>for the 13 weeks ended April 1, 2000,
and April 3, 1999 respectively. Earnings covered fixed charges</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>1.005 times for the 13 weeks ended
April 1, 2000 and April 3, 1999 respectively.</font></font>

<p><u><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information:</font></font></u>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Certain statements made in this Report
on Form 10-Q are forward-looking and are made in reliance on the</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As such they involve risks</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially. These statements are based on a</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>number of assumptions about a variety
of factors, including the ability of Sears to perform under the</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>agreements described herein and general
economic conditions (such as interest rates). While SDC</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>believes that these assumptions are
reasonable, SDC cautions that it is impossible to predict the impact of</font></font>
<br><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>certain facts that could cause actual
results to differ from expected results.</font></font>
