THE LIMITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Limited,
Inc. (the "Company") and all significant subsidiaries which are more than
50 percent owned and controlled. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in other entities (including joint ventures) which are more
than 20 percent owned are accounted for on the equity method.
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended April
30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the
Company's 1993 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
(which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for a full fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen week
periods ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 included herein have been
reviewed by the independent accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand and the
report of such firm follows the notes to consolidated financial statements.
2. INVENTORIES
The fiscal year of the Company and its subsidiaries is comprised of two
principal selling seasons: Spring (the first and second quarters) and Fall
(the third and fourth quarters). Valuation of finished goods inventories
is based principally upon the lower of average cost or market determined on
a first-in, first-out basis utilizing the retail method. Inventory
valuation at the end of the first and third quarters reflects adjustments
for inventory markdowns and shrinkage estimates for the total selling
season.
3. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the
annual effective tax rate. Income taxes paid during the first quarter of
1994 and 1993 approximated $98.2 million and $106.3 million.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued a notice of deficiency to the
Company for additional taxes and interest for 1989 and 1990. The IRS
notice was based primarily on the treatment of transactions involving the
Company's foreign operations and construction allowances. The Company
strongly disagrees with the IRS position and intends to vigorously
contest the matter. This matter will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

4. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Long-term debt consisted of ($000):
April 30, January 29,
1994 1994
--------- -----------
7 1/2% Debentures due March, 2023 $250,000 $250,000

8 7/8% Notes due August, 1999 100,000 100,000
-------- --------
$650,000 $650,000
======== ========
Effective April 28, 1994, the Company amended its two revolving credit
agreements (the "Agreements") totaling $840 million. One Agreement
provides the Company available borrowings of up to $490 million. The other
Agreement provides World Financial Network National Bank, a wholly-owned
consolidated subsidiary, available borrowings of up to $350 million.
Borrowings outstanding under the Agreements are due December 4, 1999.
However, the revolving terms of each of the Agreements may be extended an
additional two years upon notification by the Company at least 60 days
prior to December 4, 1996, subject to the approval of the lending banks.
Both Agreements have similar borrowing options, including interest rates
which are based on either the lender's "Base Rate", as defined, LIBOR, CD
based options or at a rate submitted under a bidding process. Aggregate
commitment and facility fees for the Agreements approximate 0.11% of the
total commitment. The Agreements place restrictions on the amount of the
Company's working capital, debt and net worth. No amounts were outstanding
under the Agreements at April 30, 1994.
The Agreements support the Company's commercial paper program which funds
working capital and other general corporate requirements. No commercial
paper was outstanding at April 30, 1994.
Under the Company's shelf registration statement, up to $250 million of
debt securities and warrants to purchase debt securities may be issued.
All long-term debt outstanding at April 30, 1994 and January 29, 1994 is
unsecured.
Interest paid during the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 approximated $18.6
million and $10.8 million.

=========== ==========
6. SPECIAL AND NONRECURRING ITEMS
During the third quarter of 1993, the Company approved a plan which
includes the following components: the sale of a 60% interest in the
Brylane mail order business; the acceleration of store remodeling,
downsizing and closing program at the Limited Stores and Lerner divisions;
and the refocusing of the merchandise strategy at the Henri Bendel
division.
The remodeling, downsizing and closing program includes approximately 360
Limited and Lerner stores and is expected to be completed by the end of
1995. The Company had closed approximately 80 of these stores and
remodeled approximately 60 of these stores as of April 30, 1994.
The net impact of the plan is anticipated to be immaterial to future
operations.
