Item 5. Other Events.
On August 13, 1997, the Board of Directors of
ShopKo Stores, Inc. ("ShopKo") approved a change in
ShopKo's fiscal year to conform to the National Retail
Federation Retail Calendar. Fiscal 1997 ended on
January 31, 1998, and consisted of a period of 49
weeks. The fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 consisted of
nine weeks compared to 12 weeks in the fourth quarter
of the preceding fiscal year.
In order to assist ShopKo's shareholders and
others in comparing ShopKo's financial results reported
on the new fiscal calendar with ShopKo's results in
preceding periods, attached hereto is unaudited
financial information for ShopKo for each quarter of
fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, and for the full years of
fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, as if ShopKo had been
using the National Retail Federation Retail Calendar as
its fiscal year for those periods (the "Unaudited
Financial Information"). The Unaudited Financial
Information should be read in conjunction with ShopKo's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending
February 22, 1997, ShopKo's Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the first three quarters of the current fiscal
year, and ShopKo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
49 weeks ended January 31, 1998.
This Form 8-K and the attachments hereto may
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking
statements are based upon management's assumptions and
beliefs in light of information currently available to
it and are subject to important factors which could
cause ShopKo's actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.
These factors include those referenced in ShopKo's
Annual Report on Form 10-K or as may be described from
time to time in ShopKo's subsequent SEC filings.
