THE CATO CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 30, 1994 AND
JULY 31, 1993
- - -------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - GENERAL:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting
records of the Company and all amounts shown at July 30, 1994 and July 31,
1993 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements as of July 31, 1993 to conform with classifications used as of
July 30, 1994.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market,
determined by the retail inventory method.
The provisions for income taxes are based on the Company's estimated annual
effective tax rate.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of Class A and Class B common shares and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the respective periods. Common stock
equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of
outstanding stock options. The number of shares used in the earnings per
share computations were 29,260,660 shares and 29,415,015 shares for the three
months and six months ended July 30, 1994, respectively, and 29,767,045 shares
and 29,542,435 shares for the three months and six months ended July 31, 1993.
NOTE 3 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
Interest paid during the six months ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 was
$100,000 and $202,000, respectively. Income tax payments for the six months
ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 were $8,200,000 and $8,400,000,
respectively.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, certain items in
the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income as percentages of
total retail sales:

Comparison of Second Quarter and First Six Months of 1994 and 1993.
OPERATING RESULTS
- - -----------------
Total retail sales for the second quarter increased 15% over last year's
second quarter to $110.2 million from $95.5 million. Same-store sales
increased 2% over the prior year's second quarter. For the six months ended
July 30, 1994, total retail sales increased 16% over the prior year's first
six months, and same-store sales increased 2% over the comparable six-month
period. The Company operated 618 stores at July 30, 1994, compared to 550
stores operated at the end of last year's second quarter. Sales from new,
relocated or expanded stores opened within the last year were primarily
responsible for the increase in sales recorded for this year's second quarter
and first six months.
Other income for the second quarter and first six months increased 7% and 8%,
respectively, over the prior year's comparable periods. The increases in the
current year resulted primarily from increased finance charge income on the
Company's accounts receivable portfolio and increased earnings from cash
equivalents and short-term investments.
Cost of goods sold, including occupancy, distribution and buying expenses,
were 69.9% and 67.1% of total retail sales for the second quarter and first
six months of this year, compared to 66.8% and 64.2% for last year's
comparable three- and six-month periods. The increase in costs of goods sold
as a percent of retail sales resulted primarily from higher levels of
promotional markdowns recorded in the current year. As a result of sales not
reaching planned

THE CATO CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - -------------------------------------------------
levels in the second quarter and first six months of this
year, higher levels of markdowns were required to keep overall inventory
levels in line with the sales levels achieved. The Company's sales plans for
the remainder of the year have been revised to reflect more modest sales
increases and inventory levels will be in line with the revised plan.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $27.7 million, or
25.1% of total retail sales, and $55.5 million, or 25.2% of total retail
sales, for the second quarter and first six months of this year, compared to
$24.2 million, or 25.4% of total retail sales, and $47.4 million, or 25.0% of
total retail sales, for last year's comparable periods. The overall increases
in SG&A resulted primarily from increased selling-related expenses and
increased infrastructure expenses brought about by the Company's store
development program. The Company has continued to maintain a conservative
cost structure and has implemented aggressive expense controls to keep
operating expenses in line with planned sales levels.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- - -------------------------------
At July 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $94.6 million, compared
to $87.8 million at July 31, 1993 and $91.6 million at January 29, 1994. Cash
provided by operating activities was $8.9 million for the six months ended
July 30, 1994, compared to $3.2 million in the prior year's first six months.
The increase in the current year resulted primarily from decreased investment
in inventory. The Company had no borrowings under its $35 million revolving
credit and term loan agreement during the six-month periods ended July 30,
1994 and July 31, 1993.
Expenditures for property and equipment totaled $11.1 million for the six
months ended July 30, 1994, compared to $6.8 million of expenditures in last
year's first six months. The Company is currently planning approximately
$29 million of capital expenditures in the current fiscal year. The Company
plans to open approximately 85 new stores in the current fiscal year and to
relocate or expand an additional 50 stores. Additional expenditures are
planned to expand the Company's distribution facilities and to upgrade
management information systems. As of July 30, 1994, the Company had opened
45 new stores, relocated or expanded 27 stores and closed 2 stores.
The Company believes that its cash and short-term investments, together with
cash flow from operations and borrowings available under a $35 million
revolving credit and term loan agreement, will be adequate to fund the
Company's proposed capital expenditures and other operating requirements.
