Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
1) Background
------------
Historically, Funding has provided short-term financing for JCPenney.
Principally, Funding issued commercial paper to finance JCPenney's working
capital needs. Funding has not issued commercial paper since 2000.
During the second quarter of 2004, JCPenney sold its Eckerd drugstore chain
to two unrelated third parties generating after tax cash proceeds of
approximately $3.5 billion. The result of this transaction coupled with
JCPenney's other sources of liquidity eliminated any need for Funding to issue
commercial paper for short-term borrowing requirements. Therefore, Funding has
not produced any revenue or income. In addition, with Funding's current credit
ratings, it is assumed that Funding would have little or no current access to
commercial paper borrowing.
5
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Funding derives earnings on loans to JCPenney under the terms of the Loan
Agreement, which provides for unsecured loans to be made by Funding to JCPenney.
Additionally, in order to maintain Funding's income at defined coverage ratios,
Funding's income is supplemented by charges to JCPenney. The income of Funding
is designed to cover Funding's fixed charges (interest expense) at a coverage
ratio mutually agreed upon by Funding and JCPenney. The earnings to fixed
charges coverage ratio has historically been at least one and one-half times.
No commercial paper has been issued or outstanding since 2000. The commercial
paper program is rated "Not Prime" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and "B" by
Fitch Ratings. Standard & Poor's Rating Services does not rate the program.
Funding had no short-term debt outstanding as of October 30, 2004, nor as of
October 25, 2003.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of Funding's disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as
of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
Funding's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that the design and operation of Funding's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective for the purpose of ensuring that material information
required to be in this Quarterly Report is made known to them by others on a
timely basis. There have not been any changes in Funding's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during Funding's last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Funding's
internal control over financial reporting.
