PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
GENERAL
RadioShack Corporation was incorporated in Delaware in 1967. We primarily engage
in the retail sale of consumer electronics through the RadioShack(R) store
chain. Our sales derived outside of the United States are not material.
You may notice that we have changed some of the text in the "management's
discussion" section, as well as the notes of this document. The substance is the
same, but we have made it more readable using the "plain English" guidelines
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We hope this is helpful to
you. Throughout this report, the terms "our," "we," and "us" refer to RadioShack
Corporation, including its subsidiaries.
RadioShack. At December 31, 2001, we operated 5,289 company-owned stores located
throughout the United States, as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
These stores average approximately 2,350 square feet in gross area and are
located in major malls and strip centers, as well as individual storefronts.
These locations carry a broad assortment of both private label and third party
branded products. Our product lines include electronic parts and accessories,
cellular, PCS and conventional telephones, audio and video equipment,
direct-to-home ("DTH") satellite systems and personal computers and related
products, as well as specialized products such as scanners and weather radios,
among others. We also provide consumers access to third party services such as
cellular phone and PCS activation, DTH satellite programming, long distance
telephone service, Internet access, prepaid wireless airtime and extended
warranties. At December 31, 2001, we also had a network of 2,119
dealer/franchise outlets, including 55 located outside of the U.S. These outlets
provide private label and third party branded products and services to smaller
communities. The dealers are generally engaged in other retail operations and
augment their business with our products.
Strategic Alliances. We have formed strategic alliances with well-recognized
companies. These alliances have or are expected to have a significant impact on
both our operations and financial strategy and include:
Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") - Compaq is the sole supplier of
personal computers sold through our retail stores, participating
dealer/franchise outlets and on our Web site.
DIRECTV, Inc. ("DIRECTV") - We sell direct-to-home satellite systems and
acquire customers for DTH satellite programming.
Echostar Satellite Corporation ("DISH Network") - On February 19, 2002, we
announced an agreement with DISH Network. This agreement will allow us to
provide our customers with an additional alternative in digital satellite
services. We anticipate that we will begin offering DISH Network service in
March 2002.
Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft") - Microsoft's in-store display allows
our customers to view demonstrations of narrowband and broadband technology
and subscribe to MSNTM Internet access, as well as view, on-line or in the
stores, a broad range of existing and future products, solutions and
services based on Microsoft technologies. As of December 31, 2001, all of
our stores and approximately half of the dealer/franchise outlets were
fixtured for the Microsoft Internet Center @ RadioShack via a
"store-within-a-store" concept.
Sprint Communications Company and Sprint PCS ("Sprint") - Through our
telecommunications alliance with Sprint, our customers have access to
wireless PCS telephones and service, prepaid calling cards and long distance
telephone service, as well as residential telephones and related telephony
products, at the "Sprint Store at RadioShack."
Thomson Multimedia ("Thomson") - Thomson, which owns the RCA brand, supplies
us with various RCA-branded audio and video components such as televisions,
DTH satellite systems, VCRs, camcorders, digital video disc (DVD) players,
CD shelf systems and other digital entertainment products. RCA products are
sold through the RCA Digital Entertainment Center at RadioShack via a
"store-within-a-store."
Verizon Wireless ("Verizon") - This strategic alliance with the nation's
largest wireless communications service provider permits approximately 4,300
company-owned stores to have a multiyear agreement with a single cellular
service provider, thereby creating training, marketing, inventory, repair
and other supply-chain synergies through the "Verizon Store at RadioShack."
We continue to offer cellular service in our other retail outlets through
various cellular carriers in areas not covered by Verizon.
Blockbuster Inc. ("Blockbuster") - On February 27, 2001, we announced an
alliance with Blockbuster to test a RadioShack "store-within-a-store"
concept within Blockbuster locations. The size of the our merchandising
areas varied depending on the size of the participating Blockbuster store,
but ranged from 600-square foot sections to smaller kiosks. A wide selection
of our most popular product and service offerings were featured. The initial
test phase called for 130 select Blockbuster stores in four markets to
contain "store-within-a-store" fixtures during the test period. The test
phase did not satisfy our financial expectations and we are currently
exiting this business.
Retail Support Operations. Our retail stores, along with our dealer outlets, are
supported by an extensive infrastructure. Below are the major components of this
support structure.
RadioShack International Procurement Limited Partnership ("RSIP") - RSIP,
which is owned by us, serves our wide-ranging international import/export,
sourcing, evaluation, logistics and quality control needs. RSIP also
provides services for outside customers, primarily InterTAN, Inc.
("InterTAN"). Most of RSIP's activity with InterTAN involves sourcing of
private label goods from manufacturers in Asia.
Consumer Electronics Manufacturing - We operate seven manufacturing
facilities in the United States and one overseas manufacturing operation in
China. These eight manufacturing facilities employed approximately 2,600
employees as of December 31, 2001. We manufacture a variety of products,
primarily sold through our retail outlets, including telephony, antennas,
wire and cable products, and a wide variety of "hard to find" parts and
accessories for consumer electronic products.
RadioShack.com - We launched our www.radioshack.com Web site in October
1999. Products, services and information are available through the Web site.
Online customers can purchase, return or exchange products available on our
Web site at their neighborhood RadioShack location.
RadioShack Customer Support - Using state-of-the-art telephone and data
networks, RadioShack Customer Support responds to more than six million
phone calls and emails annually. The responses include answers to technical
questions, customer service inquiries and direct sales requests related to
our catalog operations, Web site and "hard to find" products.
RadioShack Installation Services ("RSIS") - RSIS, through its 56 field
offices located in 31 states, designs, installs and maintains cabling
systems for the transmission of video, voice and data, primarily for home
use. RSIS provides these services to both RadioShack and other outside
parties. Services for RadioShack consist primarily of customer DTH satellite
system installations, but also include installations relating to broadband
Internet access.
RadioShack Service Centers - We maintain a service and support network to
service the consumer electronics and personal computer retail industry in
the U.S. At December 31, 2001, we had 48 RadioShack Service Centers in the
U.S. and one in Puerto Rico that repair name brand and private label
products sold through our various sales channels. We are also a
vendor-authorized service provider for such leading manufacturers as Compaq,
Sony, Hewlett-Packard, RCA/Thomson, Nokia, Samsung and LG Electronics, among
others; we also perform repairs for third-party service centers and extended
service plan providers under our national service agreements.
RadioShack Technology Services - Our management information system
architecture is composed of a distributed, online network of computers that
links all stores, customer channels, delivery locations, service centers,
credit providers, distribution facilities and our corporate offices into a
fully integrated system. Each store has its own server to support the point
of sale system. This design also allows store management to track sales
and/or inventory at the product, customer or sales associate level. This
division provides the majority of our programming and system analysis needs.
Regional Distribution Centers - We have 8 distribution centers which ship
over one million cartons each month to our retail stores and
dealer/franchise outlets. Three of these distribution centers also serve as
fulfillment centers for online purchases.
SEASONALITY
As is the case with other retail businesses, our net sales and operating
revenues are greater during the winter holiday season than during other periods
of the year. There is a corresponding pre-seasonal inventory build-up, which
requires working capital related to the anticipated increased sales volume. See
Note 23 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for quarterly data.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We own or are licensed to use many trademarks and service marks related to our
business in the United States and in foreign countries. Radio Shack, RadioShack,
RadioShack.com, and "You've got questions. We've got answers." are some of the
marks most widely used by us. We believe that the RadioShack name and marks are
well recognized by consumers and that the name and marks are associated with
high-quality service. Our manufactured products are sold primarily under the
RadioShack trademark. We also own various patents relating to electronic
products designed and manufactured by us. We believe that the loss of the
RadioShack name and RadioShack marks would be material to our business.
SUPPLIERS
Our marketing strategy depends, in part, upon our ability to offer both private
label and third party branded products, as well as third party services, to our
customers. We utilize a large number of suppliers located in various parts of
the world to obtain raw materials and private label merchandise. We do not
expect a lack of availability of raw material or any single private label
product to have a material impact on our operations. In terms of third party
branded products we sell, no single vendor provided in excess of 10% of our
aggregate product purchases in 2001. However, certain vendors, strategic allies
and service providers, as discussed in the strategic alliance section above, are
important to our business and the loss of or disruption in supply from one of
these could have a material adverse effect on sales. Additionally, certain
suppliers have, at times, limited their supply of products to us.
BACKLOG ORDERS
We have no material backlog of orders for the products or services that we sell.
COMPETITION
Due to rising consumer demand for wireless communications products and services,
as well as rapid consumer acceptance of new digital technology products, the
consumer electronics retail business still remains highly competitive, driven by
technology and product cycles.
In the consumer electronics retailing business, competitive factors include
price, product availability, quality and features, consumer services,
manufacturing and distribution capability, brand reputation and the number of
competitors. We compete in the sale of our products and services with several
retail formats. Consumer electronics retailers include both Circuit City and
Best Buy/MusicLand. Department and specialty stores, such as Sears and The Home
Depot, compete on more of a select product category scale. Sprint and Verizon
compete directly with us through their own retail and online presence. Mass
merchants such as Wal-Mart and Target and other alternative channels of
distribution, such as mail order and e-commerce, compete with us on a more
widespread basis. With respect to the products we sell, numerous domestic and
foreign companies also manufacture similar products for other retailers, which
are sold under nationally recognized brand names or private labels.
Management believes we have two primary factors differentiating us from our
competition. The first is our extensive physical retail presence with
approximately 7,200 conveniently located retail outlets in virtually every
neighborhood nationwide. Our specially trained sales staff is capable of
providing enhanced product explanations, assisting customers with service
activation, where applicable, and assisting with the selection of appropriate
products and accessories.
Our strategic alliances with well-recognized companies represent the other
differentiating factor. These alliances with such companies as Sprint, Verizon,
Thomson and Compaq, among others, augment the strong position that we have
historically maintained in our core product categories such as batteries,
communications equipment, telephony, antennas, and parts and accessories.
Additionally, we are able to leverage name brand recognition, marketing efforts
and advertising campaigns with our allies and also create cross-revenue
opportunities for repair service income, residual income, consumer acquisition
fees and rebates.
Given the highly competitive nature of the consumer electronics retail business,
no assurance can be given that we will continue to compete successfully in the
future. Also, in light of the ever-changing nature of the electronics retail
industry, we would be adversely affected if our competitors were able to offer
their products at significantly lower prices. Additionally, we would be
adversely affected if our competitors were able to introduce innovative or
technologically superior products not yet available to us, or if we were unable
to obtain certain products in a timely manner or for an extended period of time.
Regarding the expansion of the Internet, we do not believe e-commerce retailers
currently represent significant competition. This, however, could change and
become significant over time. We further believe that we are well positioned to
meet the increasing competition from Internet retailers with our
www.radioshack.com Web site, coupled with our extensive physical retail
presence, service capabilities and wide assortment of consumer electronics
products.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 41,400 employees. Approximately
10,000 temporary retail employees were hired for the holiday selling season;
however, approximately 3,600 of these temporary employees remained at year-end.
Our employees are not covered by collective bargaining agreements nor are they
members of labor unions. We consider our relationship with our employees to be
good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Information on our properties is located in Management's Discussion and Analysis
and the financial statements included in this Form 10-K and is incorporated into
this Item 2 by reference. The following items are discussed further on the
referenced pages:
Page
Retail Outlets............................... 12
Property, Plant and Equipment................ 35
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities....... 40
We lease, rather than own, most of our retail and service center facilities. Our
stores are located primarily in major shopping malls, stand-alone buildings or
shopping centers owned by other entities. We lease most of the property on which
our executive offices are located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas, two
distribution centers in the United States, and seven administrative offices and
one manufacturing plant in the Asia Pacific region. RSIS headquarters and field
offices are also leased. We own the property on which the other six distribution
centers are located, in addition to most of our manufacturing facilities located
throughout the United States. We periodically review our existing distribution
center and office facilities to determine if these spaces are adequate to meet
our needs in the foreseeable future.
We also own land purchased in 2001 in Fort Worth, Texas, on which our new
corporate headquarters will be constructed beginning in late 2002.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are currently a party to a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court
of Orange County, California, relating to the calculation of earned overtime
wages for certain of our former and current employees in that state. While the
alleged damages in this lawsuit are substantial, we believe that we have
meritorious defenses and we are vigorously defending this case. We believe that
if an adverse resolution of the litigation occurs, it could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations for the year in which resolution
occurs. However, we do not believe that such an adverse resolution would have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity. The liability,
if any, associated with this matter was not determinable at December 31, 2001.
We have various other pending claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties,
investigations and actions incident to the operation of our business. Although
occasional adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively impact
earnings in the year of settlement, it is our opinion that their ultimate
resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition
or liquidity. The liability, if any, associated with these various matters was
not determinable at December 31, 2001.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 2001.

Financial Statements and related Notes.
(1) Includes operations of Computer City, Inc. for only eight months, due to
the sale to CompUSA Inc. on August 31, 1998.
(2) Total debt includes capital leases and TESOP indebtedness. Capitalization
is defined as total debt plus total stockholders' equity.
(3) Excluding $125.1 million (net of taxes) for charges related to loss on sale
of assets, impairment of long-lived assets, employee separation and other
related costs, provision for loss on Internet-related investment, and store
closure and non-strategic inventory charges in 2001, return on average
stockholders' equity would have been 33.0%, return on invested capital
would have been 19.9%, and return on average assets would have been 12.1%.
(4) Excluding a $5.9 million (net of taxes) provision related to restricted
stock awards in 1999, return on average stockholders' equity would have
been 33.1%, return on invested capital would have been 27.1%, and return on
average assets would have been 14.7%.
(5) Excluding $183.9 million (net of taxes) for provisions related to
restricted stock awards and loss on sale of Computer City, Inc., as well as
Computer City, Inc. operating losses and other business write-downs in
1998, return on average stockholders' equity would have been 23.6%, return
on invested capital would have been 21.0%, and return on average assets
would have been 11.4%.
(6) Return on invested capital is defined as adjusted operating income divided
by invested capital. Adjusted operating income is calculated by adding back
goodwill charges and adding implied interest on operating leases to
operating income; this total is then reduced by cash income taxes paid to
arrive at adjusted operating income. Invested capital is the sum of working
capital; property, plant and equipment, net; other assets; the present
value of operating leases and accumulated goodwill amortization. When
arriving at invested capital, working capital and other assets are reduced
by accounts and notes receivable which we do not consider a normal part of
our business.
(7) Earnings used in computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges consist
of pre-tax earnings and fixed charges. Fixed charges are defined as
interest expense related to debt, amortization expense related to deferred
financing costs and a portion of rental charges.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS ("MD&A").
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Matters discussed in MD&A include forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the federal securities laws. This includes statements concerning management's
plans and objectives relating to our operations or economic performance and
related assumptions. Forward-looking statements are made based on management's
expectations and beliefs concerning future events and, therefore, involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. Management cautions that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees and actual results could differ materially from
those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors
that could cause our actual results of operations or financial condition to
differ include, but are not necessarily limited to:
o changes in national or regional U.S. economic conditions, including, but
not limited to, recessionary trends, consumer credit availability, interest
rates, inflation, consumers' disposable income and spending levels, job
security and unemployment, and overall consumer confidence;
o continuing terrorist activities in the U.S., as well as the resulting
international war on terrorism;
o the disruption of nationwide or regional transportation systems;
o changes in the amount and degree of promotional intensity exerted by
current competitors and potential new competition from both retail stores
and alternative methods or channels of distribution, such as e-commerce,
telephone shopping services and mail order;
o the inability to successfully execute our strategic initiatives, including
our strategic business units and emerging sales channels, as well as new
alliances which may be formed with other retailers and third party service
providers;
o the presence or absence of new services or products and product features in
the merchandise categories we sell and unexpected changes in our actual
merchandise sales mix;
o the inability to maintain profitable contracts or execute business plans
with providers of third party branded products and with service providers
relating to cellular and PCS telephones and direct-to-home ("DTH")
satellite programming;
o the inability to collect the level of anticipated residual income, consumer
acquisition fees and rebates for products and third party services offered
by us;
o the inability to successfully maintain our strategic alliances, including
those with Compaq, DIRECTV, DISH Network, Microsoft, RCA, Sprint, and/or
Verizon Wireless;
o the lack of availability or access to sources of inventory;
o changes in the financial markets that would reduce or eliminate access to
longer term capital or short-term credit availability;
o the inability to attract, retain and grow an effective management team in a
dynamic environment or changes in the cost or availability of a suitable
work force to manage and support our service-driven operating strategies;
o the imposition of new restrictions or regulations regarding the sale of
products and/or services we sell or changes in tax rules and regulations
applicable to us;
o the adoption rate and market demand for high-speed Internet and other
Internet-related services; or
o the occurrence of severe weather events which prohibit consumers from
travelling to our retail locations, especially during the peak winter
holiday season.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for our conclusions. We continually evaluate the
information used to make these estimates as our business and the economic
environment changes. The use of estimates is pervasive throughout our financial
statements, but the accounting policies and estimates we consider most critical
are as follows:
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when product delivery has occurred
or services have been rendered, net of an estimate for returned goods. We sell
certain products, such as wireless phones and satellite systems that customers
need in order to use the services of our strategic partners. In most cases, our
strategic partner will pay us a fee or commission for obtaining their new
customer, as well as a recurring monthly residual which is a portion of the
customer's monthly fee with our strategic partner. Both the fee and the monthly
residual are recorded as revenue. To determine the proper amount of revenue to
record, we evaluate the contract terms, historical results and trends of service
provider customer deactivations, non-activations and special pricing agreements,
as well as any promotions or other incentives. In addition to determining the
proper amount to record, we must also determine the appropriate classification
within the financial statements. Different revenues would have been recorded if
we had made different assumptions or evaluations.
Receivables - We record receivables based on the amount of revenue recognized
for a particular transaction. Our receivables are primarily comprised of amounts
due from strategic partners, commercial customers and dealer/franchisees. The
carrying amount of the receivables is continually evaluated based on the
likelihood of collection. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established for
estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required
payments. Factors such as customer creditworthiness, payment terms, historical
results and economic conditions are considered when making these decisions. The
actual collection of receivables could be different from our recorded value.
Inventory - Inventory is our largest asset class. Our inventory is primarily
comprised of finished goods and is recorded at the lower of cost or market using
the average cost method. We make estimates regarding the carrying value of our
inventory on an item-by-item basis. If the amount we expect to receive from the
sale of the inventory is less than its cost, we write down the cost of the
inventory to its realizable value. If actual market conditions at the time of
sale are less favorable than expected, additional inventory write-downs may be
required.
Accruals - The amount of liability we record for claims such as insurance,
warranty and pending litigation claims requires us to make judgments about the
amount of expenses that will ultimately be incurred. We use our past history and
experience, as well as other specific circumstances surrounding these claims in
evaluating the amount of liability that we should record. Actual results may be
different from these estimates.
Income Taxes - We are subject to income tax in many jurisdictions, including the
U.S., states and localities, and abroad. We must first determine which revenues
and expenses should be included in each taxing jurisdiction. This process
involves the estimation of our actual current tax exposure, together with the
assessment of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items
for tax and accounting purposes. These differences in the timing of deductions
result in deferred tax assets and liabilities that are recorded on our balance
sheet. If different judgments had been used, our tax liability could have been
different.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2001 COMPARED WITH 2000
- -----------------------
NET SALES AND OPERATING REVENUES
Sales decreased slightly to $4,775.7 million in 2001 from $4,794.7 million in
2000. This decrease was primarily the result of a decline in sales to our
dealer/franchise outlets in 2001, partially offset by a slight increase in
comparable company-owned store sales and the opening of 18 new stores, net of
store closures. We expect a comparable store sales gain for 2002.
During 2001, we reorganized our marketing and merchandising departments into
three product groups which we call Strategic Business Units ("SBU"). These SBUs
relate to our position of "Connecting People," "Connecting Places" and
"Connecting Things" in the consumer electronics marketplace. A detailed
explanation of each unit is provided below. Each SBU is responsible for specific
products and third party relationships. These SBUs work with our brand
management, sales channels and support groups, which together allow RadioShack
to target the right customer through the right sales channel with the
appropriate support.
Each SBU is designed to find more efficient and convenient ways to serve our
sales channels. In addition to our 5,127 company-owned stores and 2,119
dealer/franchise outlets, our existing and emerging sales channels include the
www.radioshack.com Web site and catalog operations, as well as a sophisticated
outbound and inbound telephone call center.
The Connecting People SBU consists of the wireless communication, wired
communication and radio communication departments. The wireless communication
department includes products such as wireless handsets and cigarette lighter
adapters, in addition to prepaid wireless refill services and residuals. The
wired communication products department includes products like cordless phones
and phone cords, plus prepaid long distance cards. Products such as FRS radios
and scanners are part of the radio communication department. Our strategic
alliances for the Connecting People SBU include both Sprint and Verizon.
The Connecting Places SBU has two departments, home entertainment and computers.
The home entertainment department includes audio and video products and services
such as DTH satellite systems, residuals, installation services, DVDs and
accessories. The computer department includes personal computers and
accessories, hand-held computers, Internet devices and services. This SBU is
responsible for our strategic alliances with Compaq, DIRECTV, DISH Network,
Microsoft and Thomson.
The Connecting Things SBU includes the accessories, batteries and technical
departments, as well as the personal electronics, seasonal and portable audio
departments. Products include AC and DC power adapters, general and special
purpose batteries, wire and connectors, toys and radio control cars, giftables
and personal portable audio.
The following table summarizes our new retail sales breakdown by SBU and SBU
departments as a percent of total retail sales (excluding outside sales from our
retail support operations):

============== ============== ==============
Connecting People Strategic Business Unit: Sales in the wireless communication
department, which includes cellular and PCS telephones and accessories, as well
as the related residuals and prepaid airtime services, increased 12.7% in
dollars and increased to 27.4% of total retail sales in 2001, from 24.5% in
2000. This sales increase was due to an increase in sales of wireless phones and
accessories, plus related residuals, offset somewhat by a decrease in prepaid
wireless airtime. The wired communication department, which includes residential
telephones, answering machines and other related telephony products, decreased
9.1% in dollars and decreased as a percentage of total retail sales to 8.2% in
2001 from 9.0% in 2000. The decrease in this department was primarily the result
of declining sales of residential telephones, and was partially offset by
increased sales of telephone accessories. The radio communication department
decreased 8.0% in dollars and decreased as a percentage of total retail sales to
2.9% in 2001, from 3.2% in 2000. The decrease in this department was primarily
the result of a decrease in CB radio and scanner sales. The Connecting People
SBU is expected to increase sales for 2002, primarily driven by increases in the
wireless communication department.
Connecting Places Strategic Business Unit: The home entertainment department,
which consists of all home audio and video products, including DTH satellites,
installation services and related residuals, decreased 1.0% in dollars and
decreased slightly as a percentage of total retail sales to 23.4% in 2001 from
23.7% in 2000. This dollar decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in
sales of satellite dishes, which was partially offset by increased sales of
video and cable accessories. The computer department, which includes not only
computers and related accessories, but narrow and broadband connectivity, as
well as home automation and networking, decreased 16.5% in dollars and decreased
as a percentage of total retail sales to 9.8% in 2001, from 11.8% in 2000. These
decreases were primarily attributable to a 26% decline in unit sales of CPUs and
an 11% decrease in the average selling price of CPUs from the prior year. The
Connecting Places SBU is expected to have a sales decrease for 2002, primarily
due to lower sales of computer CPUs and DTH satellite systems.
Connecting Things Strategic Business Unit: The accessories, batteries and
technical departments increased 2.2% in dollars and increased as a percentage of
total retail sales to 15.2% in 2001, from 14.9% in 2000. These increases were
primarily due to increased sales of batteries and, to a lesser extent, increased
AC adapter and wireless charger accessories sales. The personal electronics,
seasonal and portable audio departments decreased 4.9% in dollars, as well as
decreasing as a percentage of total retail sales to 11.3% in 2001 from 12.0% in
2000, due primarily to decreased sales of toys and giftables. The Connecting
Things SBU is expected to have a sales increase in 2002, primarily driven by
accessories, batteries and digital audio products.
GROSS PROFIT
2001 gross profit was $2,296.8 million or 48.1% of net sales and operating
revenues, compared with $2,369.6 million or 49.4% of net sales and operating
revenues in 2000. Gross profit for 2001 was reduced by a $26.2 million charge in
the fourth quarter for a write-down of non-strategic inventory product lines
which we intend to exit. Excluding this charge, gross profit would have been
48.6% of net sales and operating revenues. The decline in the gross profit
percentage from 49.4% to 48.6% was due to a decrease in the wireless
communication gross margin, coupled with this department's increase in sales as
a percent of total sales. This gross profit decrease was partially offset by a
decrease in the total retail sales mix for the computer department, which has a
lower gross margin than our overall average gross margin, as well as an increase
in the gross profit percentage for the accessories, batteries and technical
departments. Management anticipates that gross profit, as a percentage of net
sales and operating revenues, will increase during 2002, when compared to 2001,
enhanced by sales mix changes and an expected increase in residual income.

$1,713.9 35.9% $1,632.6 34.1% $1,496.0 36.2%
==================== ==================== ====================
Our SG&A expense increased 5.0% in dollars and increased as a percent of net
sales and operating revenues to 35.9% for the year ended December 31, 2001, from
34.1% for the year ended December 31, 2000. This 1.8 percentage point increase
in the SG&A percentage in 2001 was primarily attributable to an increase in
advertising expense during 2001, without proportional sales growth. An increase
in the rent expense in 2001 also contributed to the SG&A expense increase.
Payroll expense decreased by $8.4 million to $740.3 million in 2001 and
decreased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 15.5% in 2001,
compared to 15.6% in 2000. These decreases were due primarily to a reduction in
our labor force during 2001 and reduced incentive pay resulting from a decrease
in operating income. Advertising expense increased $26.8 million to $253.9
million and increased to 5.3% as a percentage of net sales and operating
revenues in 2001, compared to $227.1 million and 4.7% of sales in 2000. Both the
dollar and percentage point increases were due primarily to a decrease in
advertising contributions from our various alliance partners and, to a lesser
extent, an increase in TV commercials. Rent expense increased by $15.1 million
to $230.3 million in 2001 and increased as a percent of net sales and operating
revenues to 4.8% in 2001 from 4.5% in 2000. The rent increase was partially due
to new company-owned store openings throughout the year, as well as the addition
of the Cool Things @ Blockbuster test stores. The relocation of existing stores
to larger locations, as well as a renewal of store leases at higher rates, also
contributed to the rent expense increase. Bad debt expense increased by $10.9
million to $14.5 million in 2001 and increased as a percentage of net sales and
operating revenues to 0.3% in 2001 from 0.1% in 2000. The bad debt increase was
primarily related to both bankruptcies and uncollected accounts receivable, as
well as a note receivable from Digital:Convergence Corporation. Store closing
costs of $7.6 million in 2001 relate to the closure of 35 underperforming stores
prior to the expiration of their leases. In 2002, we expect SG&A expense to
increase slightly in dollars, but decrease slightly as a percentage of net sales
and operating revenues due to increasing sales volume.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million dollars to $108.3
million and increased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 2.3%
in 2001 from 2.2% in 2000. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to
decrease in 2002. This expected decrease is the result of the sale-leaseback of
our corporate headquarters and the January 1, 2002, adoption of SFAS No. 142,
"Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which eliminates
amortization of goodwill.
LOSS ON SALE OF ASSETS
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we sold and leased back most of our corporate
headquarters at a loss of $44.8 million. On June 22, 2001 we received $123.6
million for the settlement of the purchase price and settlement of the $136.0
million note which was received in connection with the sale of Computer City,
Inc. in 1998. Thus, we incurred an additional loss from the sale of Computer
City, Inc. of $12.4 million.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
AmeriLink Corporation, also known as RadioShack Installation Services ("RSIS"),
was acquired in 1999 to provide us with residential installation capabilities
for the technologies and services offered in our retail stores. Since its
acquisition, RSIS has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows. In 2000
and in 2001, we attempted to restructure and reorganize RSIS, but due to the
overall slowdown in the economy and the lag in the market for home Internet
connectivity services, RSIS continued to report losses. During the fourth
quarter of 2001, we prepared a revised analysis of its estimated future cash
flows, which indicated that its long-lived assets were impaired. The carrying
value of RSIS's long-lived assets (principally goodwill and fixed assets)
exceeded the discounted present value of the estimated future cash flows by
approximately $37.0 million. An impairment of goodwill for that amount was
recorded and included in the accompanying 2001 Consolidated Statement of Income.
The remaining balance of RSIS's goodwill is $8.1 million, which will now be
subject to future impairment analyses.
Our strategic alliance with Blockbuster to introduce a RadioShack
"store-within-a-store" at Blockbuster locations did not provide sufficient cash
flows to recover our investment in fixtures and other fixed assets. An
impairment loss of $2.8 million was recorded for those assets in 2001 and is
included in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income.
EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND OTHER COSTS
During the third quarter of 2001, as part of our effort to control operating
costs, we incurred approximately $13.5 million in charges related to a reduction
of our labor force, primarily for early retirements and involuntary and
voluntary employee severance. In addition, during the fourth quarter, $4.8
million in charges were incurred relating to the closure of RSIS's national
commercial installation business. These costs are primarily comprised of
severance costs, write-offs of certain fixed assets and future lease
commitments. Costs incurred which impact continuing activities were excluded
from this charge.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $37.8 million for 2001 versus
$36.1 million for 2000.
Interest expense decreased to $50.8 million in 2001, from $53.9 million in 2000.
This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average debt
outstanding throughout 2001. Interest income decreased almost 27% to $13.0
million in 2001 from $17.8 million in 2000, due primarily to repayment of
various notes receivable associated with our exit of other retail formats in
previous years.
Interest income earned, including accretion of discount if applicable, on the
amounts outstanding during the three years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and
1999 was as follows:
Year Ended December 31,
--------------------------------------------

Other (includes short-
term investment interest) 6.7 4.0 4.6
------------ ------------ ------------
Total interest income $ 13.0 $ 17.8 $ 20.4
============ ============ ============
Interest expense, net of interest income, is expected to be up during 2002, when
compared to 2001.
PROVISION FOR LOSS ON INTERNET-RELATED INVESTMENT
During the second quarter of 2000, we made a $30.0 million investment in
Digital:Convergence Corporation, a privately-held Internet technology company.
In the first quarter of 2001, we believed that our investment had experienced a
decline in value that, in our opinion, was other than temporary. This belief was
due to the uncertainty surrounding Digital:Convergence's ability to secure
sufficient additional funding or to complete an initial public offering. As
such, we recorded a loss provision equal to our initial investment.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 42.8% for 2001
and 38.0% for 2000. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2001 is the result
of the impairment of RSIS goodwill discussed above, which is not deductible for
tax purposes. We anticipate that the effective tax rate will be approximately
38.0% in 2002.

============= =============
Our overall sales increased 16.2% to $4,794.7 million in 2000 from $4,126.2
million in 1999, due primarily to a 10.9% comparable company-owned store sales
gain and the opening of 22 new stores, net of store closures. The comparable
store sales increase was due primarily to increased sales of communications
products and sales of audio and video equipment, which includes DTH satellite
systems and services. The communications category decreased 1.4 percentage
points of total retail sales in 2000 primarily due to the audio and video
category becoming a larger percentage of total retail sales. Sales of electronic
parts, accessories and specialty equipment decreased 2.4 percentage points of
total retail sales in 2000, despite a 5% sales gain. Sales in the audio and
video category increased 5.4 percentage points in 2000, due primarily to the
June 2000 launch of The RCA Digital Entertainment Center at RadioShack and a
significant increase in DTH satellite system and services sales. Personal
electronics and seasonal products decreased 0.8 percentage points of the retail
sales mix in 2000, due primarily to an overall shift in the product mix
described above. Sales of personal computers and peripherals were unchanged as a
percent of the retail sales mix in 2000, despite a 12% unit sales gain in CPUs,
and had a 15% dollar sales gain for the year. Sales in the services and other
category, which includes residual income, as well as income from prepaid
wireless airtime, repair services and extended service contracts, decreased 0.8
percentage points as a percent of the retail sales mix in 2000. This increase in
sales was primarily due to an increase in residual income received from our
third party providers of wireless communications, offset by a decrease in sales
of prepaid wireless airtime. Sales in the services and other category also
decreased due to the reclassification of RadioShack.com sales from this category
to the appropriate product categories in 2000. In 2000, we earned approximately
$104.0 million of residual income, compared to $63.0 million in 1999.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit was $2,369.6 million or 49.4% of net sales and operating revenues
in 2000, compared with $2,083.5 million or 50.5% of net sales and operating
revenues in 1999. This gross profit percentage decrease was partially due to a
shift within our product offerings to increased sales of third party branded
audio and video products, primarily DTH satellite systems, which have a lower
gross margin than our overall gross margin. To a lesser degree, the gross profit
percentage decrease was due to a decrease in the wireless communications gross
margin. The decrease was further impacted by increased sales to dealer/franchise
stores, which have a lower gross margin percentage than sales to retail
customers. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in residual income,
which has 100% gross margin, as well as by an increase in the gross profit
percentages for both the personal computer and peripherals category and the
parts, accessories and specialty equipment category.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE
Our SG&A expense increased 9.1%, but decreased as a percent of net sales and
operating revenues to 34.1% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 36.2% for
the year ended December 31, 1999. This 2.1 percentage point decrease in the SG&A
percentage was due primarily to the favorable effect of our increased sales
during 2000.
Payroll expense increased by $54.8 million to $748.7 million in 2000, but
decreased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 15.6% in 2000,
compared to 16.8% in 1999. This dollar increase was due primarily to our retail
store expansions and increases in personnel, commissions, bonuses and other
incentives resulting from strong comparable store sales and profits. Rent
expense increased in dollars by $9.7 million to $215.2 million in 2000, but
decreased as a percent of net sales and operating revenues to 4.5% in 2000 from
5.0% in 1999. The rent increase was due primarily to new store openings
throughout the year, as well as lease renewals at slightly higher rates. The 0.5
percentage point decrease was due primarily to the favorable effect of increased
comparable stores sales on the expense rate structure. Advertising expense
increased $27.2 million in dollars, but decreased as a percentage of net sales
and operating revenues to $227.1 million and 4.7% of sales in 2000, compared to
$199.9 million and 4.8% of sales in 1999. The dollar increase was due primarily
to a shift in advertising from print to television advertising. In addition, the
decrease as a percentage of sales and operating revenues reflects the sales
leverage gained from our sales increase.
NET INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $36.1 million for 2000 versus
$16.8 million for 1999.
Interest expense increased to $53.9 million in 2000, from $37.2 million in 1999.
This increase was primarily the result of an increase in our average debt
outstanding throughout 2000, due to share repurchases and our investment in
inventory, as well as to an increase in short-term interest rates when compared
to the prior year. Interest income decreased almost 13% to $17.8 million in 2000
from $20.4 million in 1999, due primarily to repayment of various notes
receivable associated with our liquidation of other retail formats.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes reflects an effective tax rate of 38.0% for both
2000 and 1999.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"), in July 2001, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and other intangible
assets. FAS 142 became effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. Among other things, FAS 142 eliminates the
amortization of goodwill, but requires an annual review of the possible
impairment of goodwill. We adopted FAS 142 effective January 1, 2002.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 144"), in October 2001, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for impairment and disposition of
long-lived assets (except unidentifiable intangibles), including discontinued
operations. FAS 144 became effective for all financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and, generally, its provisions
are to be applied prospectively. We adopted FAS 144 effective January 1, 2002
and are analyzing the provisions, as they relate to our accounting policies. The
impact, if any, of this adoption has not been determined at this time.
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
Year Ended December 31,
------------------------------------------------
(In millions) 2001 2000 1999
- ------------- -------------- -------------- --------------
Operating activities $ 775.8 $ 116.5 $ 561.6
Investing activities (2.3) (134.0) (121.0)
Financing activities (502.8) (16.4) (340.5)
In 2001, cash flow provided by operating activities was $775.8 million, compared
to $116.5 million and $561.6 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Cash flow
from net income, adjusted for non-cash items, decreased $103.9 million in 2001
from 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operating profit in
2001. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was the result of
$763.2 million of cash provided by working capital components. Changes in
inventory provided $213.9 million in cash in 2001, compared to a use of $302.9
million in 2000, reflecting better inventory management. Additionally, changes
in accounts receivable, consisting primarily of amounts due from our strategic
partners, provided $165.8 million in cash during 2001, when compared to a use of
$149.0 million in the prior year. This favorable change resulted from an
enhanced collection effort and improved receivables management.
Investing activities used $2.3 million in cash in 2001, compared to $134.0
million and $121.0 million used in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Capital
expenditures approximated $139.2 million in 2001, compared to $119.6 million in
2000 and $102.4 million in 1999. Capital expenditures for these years consisted
primarily of our retail store expansions and remodels and upgrades of
information systems. In addition, in 2001 we purchased the land for our new
corporate headquarters building. We anticipate that the capital expenditure
requirement for 2002 will approximate $130.0 million to $135.0 million. These
expenditures will primarily relate to our future store expansions and remodels
and updated information systems. On June 22, 2001, we received $123.6 million
for the settlement of the purchase price of Computer City, Inc. and settlement
of the $136.0 million CompUSA note.
Cash used by financing activities was $502.8 million in 2001, compared to $16.4
million and $340.5 million in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Purchases of treasury
stock required cash of $308.3 million, $400.6 million and $422.2 million in
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. (See "Capital Structure and Financial
Condition" below for further information on our stock repurchase programs.) The
2001, 2000 and 1999 stock repurchases were partially funded by $53.7 million,
$66.3 million and $81.5 million, respectively, received from the sale of
treasury stock to employee stock plans and from stock option exercises.
Dividends paid, net of tax, in 2001, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $43.7 million,
$44.7 million and $42.5 million, respectively. The increase in dividends paid in
2000 resulted from an increase in the per share dividend in 2000. On July 6,
2001, we purchased all of Microsoft's preferred units in RadioShack.com LLC for
$88.0 million, thereby eliminating the minority interest in RadioShack.com LLC.
The long-term notes we issued in 2001 provided approximately $346.1 million in
cash, the majority of which was used to repay short-term debt. Additionally, in
1999 we received $100.6 million in cash from medium-term notes; the majority of
the proceeds was used to repay current maturities of long-term debt. However, in
2000 the increase in short-term debt was used primarily to fund increases in
accounts receivable, stock repurchases and additional inventory.
Our free cash flow, defined as our cash flow from operations less dividends paid
and capital expenditures, was $592.9 million in 2001, compared to a negative
free cash flow of $47.8 million in 2000 for the reasons described above. We
expect free cash flow to be approximately $200.0 to $250.0 million in 2002.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Management considers our financial structure and condition solid. At December
31, 2001, total capitalization was $1,449.0 million, which consisted of $670.9
million of debt and $778.1 million of equity. This resulted in a debt-to-total
capitalization ratio of 46.3%. The prior year debt-to-total capitalization ratio
was 47.0%. The decrease resulted from utilizing the strong cash flow during 2001
to reduce total debt by $110.6 million. Long-term debt as a percentage of total
capitalization was 39.0% at December 31, 2001, compared to 18.2% at December 31,
2000 and 23.9% at December 31, 1999. This increase in 2001 was due to the
issuance of $350.0 million of 10-year 7 3/8% notes due May 15, 2011.
Our debt is considered investment grade by the rating agencies. On November 16,
2001, Fitch reduced their ratings from A to A- and F1 to F2. All other ratings
were unchanged during the year. Below are their latest ratings by category.
Standard
Category Moody's and Poor's Fitch
-------- ------- ---------- -----
Medium-term notes Baa1 A- A-
ESOP senior notes Baa1 A- A-
Commercial paper P-2 A-2 F2
Our debt primarily consists of medium-term notes and two issuances of 10-year
long-term notes.
We have a $300.0 million Debt Shelf Registration Statement ("Shelf
Registration") which became effective in August 1997. In August 1997, we issued
$150.0 million of 10-year unsecured long-term notes under the Shelf
Registration. The interest rate on the notes is 6.95% per annum with interest
payable on September 1 and March 1 of each year, commencing March 1, 1998. These
notes are due September 1, 2007.
We also issued, in various amounts and on various dates from December 1997
through September 1999, medium-term notes totaling $150.0 million under the
Shelf Registration. At December 31, 2001, $146.0 million of these notes remained
outstanding. The interest rates at December 31, 2001, for the outstanding $146.0
million medium-term notes ranged from 6.09% to 7.35% and had a weighted average
coupon rate of 6.6%. These notes have maturities ranging from 2002 to 2008.
On May 11, 2001, we issued $350.0 million of 10-year 7 3/8% notes in a private
offering to initial purchasers who offered the notes to qualified institutional
buyers by relying upon SEC Rule 144A. The interest rate on the notes is 7.375%
per annum with interest payable on November 15 and May 15 of each year. Payment
of interest on the notes commenced on November 15, 2001, and the notes mature on
May 15, 2011. On August 3, 2001, under the terms of an exchange offering filed
with the SEC, we exchanged substantially all of these notes for a similar amount
of publicly registered notes. The net effect of this exchange was that no
additional debt was issued on August 3, 2001, and substantially all of the notes
are now publicly registered with the SEC.
During the third quarter of 2001, we entered into several interest rate swap
agreements, with maturities ranging from 2004 to 2007, to manage our exposure to
interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of our long-term
debt from fixed to variable rates. The notional amount of the interest rate
swaps subject to variable rates is $150.0 million. Under these agreements, we
have contracted to pay a variable rate based upon LIBOR and to receive fixed
rate payments ranging from 6.95% to 7.35%. We have designated the agreements as
fair value hedging instruments. At December 31, 2001, we recorded an asset of
$2.9 million (its fair value) for the swap agreements and adjusted the fair
value of the related debt by the same amount. The effect of these agreements was
a reduction in interest expense of $1.3 million during 2001, when compared to
the fixed rates. At current interest rates, we expect this favorable condition
to occur again in 2002. We entered into these agreements to balance our debt
portfolio by changing from all fixed interest rates to a mixture of fixed and
floating interest rates, thereby taking advantage of lower short-term rates.
From time to time, we utilize short-term debt such as commercial paper issuance
and uncommitted bank loans to supplement our short-term financing needs. The
commercial paper and the short-term seasonal bank debt have a typical maturity
of 90 days or less. The amount of commercial paper that could be outstanding
during 2001 was limited to a maximum of $600.0 million. Our commercial paper
program is supported by our revolving credit facility, which is described below.
In the second quarter of 2001, we renewed our existing $300.0 million 364-day
revolving credit facility and also extended the maturity date to June 2002. The
terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility remained similar to the previous
facility. Our $300.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing June
2003 did not change. The revolving credit facilities will support any future
commercial paper borrowings and are otherwise available for general corporate
purposes. Annual commitment fees for the facilities are 0.07% of the $300.0
million 364-day facility and 0.085% of the $300.0 million multiyear facility,
whether used or unused.
We use operating leases, primarily for our retail locations, distribution
centers and corporate headquarters, to lower our capital requirements. We do not
have any other off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Management believes that our present borrowing capacity is greater than our
established credit lines and long-term debt in place.
On December 14, 2000, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized
management to purchase up to 10.0 million shares of our common stock. During
2001, 9.3 million shares were repurchased for $250.4 million. Additionally, on
December 13, 2001, we announced that our Board of Directors had expanded that
existing program to allow management to purchase up to 25.0 million shares of
our common stock. The expanded program has no expiration date.
The purchases under the share repurchase program described above are in addition
to the shares required for employee stock purchase plans, which are purchased
throughout the year. Purchases will continue to be made in 2002 in the open
market with funding of the programs coming from existing cash balances, excess
free cash flow and short-term borrowings, if needed.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, we announced the sale of our corporate
headquarters building and our plans to construct a new headquarters in Fort
Worth, Texas. We entered into sale-leaseback agreements whereby our existing
corporate headquarters land and buildings were sold and leased back to us. These
agreements provide us with the time necessary to arrange for the construction of
the new facility. Currently, our plans are to finance the new corporate campus
with an off-balance sheet operating lease arrangement. We believe that this type
of structure, when used as designed and in moderation, enables us to maintain
financial flexibility and is appropriate. Management recognizes that this type
of financing is under review and that the structure may change, making it
uneconomical to execute and requiring us to record the new corporate campus and
related debt on our balance sheet. We have explored alternatives in the event
that changes occur and believe that we have a number of viable options available
to finance our corporate headquarters facility.
The tables below, as well as the information contained in Note 7 - "Indebtedness
and Borrowing Facilities" to our financial statements, summarizes our various
repayment requirements, interest rates and available credit lines.

INFLATION
Inflation has not significantly impacted us over the past three years.
Management does not expect inflation to have a significant impact on operations
in the foreseeable future, unless global or geo-political situations
substantially affect the world economy.
ITEM 7a. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
At December 31, 2001, we did not have any derivative instruments that materially
increased our exposure to market risks for interest rates, foreign currency
rates, commodity prices or other market price risks other than the interest rate
swaps noted above. We do not use derivatives for speculative purposes.
Our exposure to market risks results from changes in short-term interest rates.
Interest rate risk exists principally with respect to $150.0 million of
indebtedness, which, because of the interest rate swaps discussed in Note 2 of
the financial statements, effectively bears interest at short-term floating
rates. In the future, an unfavorable change of 100 basis points in the interest
rate applicable to this floating-rate indebtedness could result in additional
interest expense of $1.5 million annually. This assumption assumes no change in
the principal or the incurring of additional indebtedness.

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
RadioShack Corporation
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index on page 25 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of RadioShack Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at
December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RadioShack Corporation and Subsidiaries
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Through our approximately 7,200 company-owned and dealer/franchise retail
outlets, we are one of the nation's largest consumer electronics chains. Our
sales and operating revenues primarily relate to private label and third party
branded consumer electronics, brand name personal computers, wireless
communication products and services, telephony and direct-to-home ("DTH")
satellite systems sold through our retail locations. Additionally, we operate
certain related retail support entities and consumer electronics manufacturing
businesses.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include our
accounts and our majority owned subsidiaries. Investments in 20% to 50% owned
companies are accounted for using the equity method. Significant intercompany
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Pervasiveness of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, related revenues and expenses and the disclosure of gain and loss
contingencies at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of substantially all
operations outside the U.S. is the respective local currency. Translation gains
or losses related to net assets located outside the United States are shown as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are classified in
the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash on hand in stores, deposits in banks and all
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at
the time of purchase are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The weighted average
interest rates were 1.7% and 6.3% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
for cash equivalents totaling $322.1 million and $39.1 million, respectively.
Equity Securities: Equity securities are marked to market based upon market
value fluctuations. The resulting adjustments, net of deferred taxes, are
reported as a component of stockholders' equity until realized. Declines in fair
market value that are considered to be other than temporary are recognized in
earnings and establish a new cost basis for the security. Realized gains and
losses are included in earnings and are determined on the specific
identification method.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance For Doubtful Accounts: An allowance for
doubtful accounts is provided when accounts are determined to be uncollectible.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to customer receivables are limited
due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their
location in many different geographic areas of the country. However, we do have
some concentration of credit risk from service providers in the wireless
telephone and DTH satellite services industries, due to sales of their products
and services.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (principally based on
average cost) or market value and are comprised primarily of finished goods.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are primarily
calculated using the straight-line method, which amortizes the cost of the
assets over their estimated useful lives. When depreciable assets are sold or
retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and gains and losses are recognized. Major additions and betterments
are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs which do not materially improve or
extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operating expenses as
incurred. Amortization of buildings under capital leases is included in
depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Capitalized Software Costs: We capitalize qualifying costs related to developing
internal-use software. Capitalization of costs begins after the conceptual
formulation stage has been completed. Capitalized costs are amortized over the
estimated useful life of the software, which ranges between three and five
years. Capitalized software costs at December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 totaled
$46.6 million, $39.6 million and $25.6 million, net of accumulated amortization
of $26.3 million, $16.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively.
Goodwill: Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the expected life of the underlying assets. At December 31, 2000, the net
goodwill balance totaled $50.6 million, composed primarily of goodwill resulting
from the 1999 acquisition of AmeriLink Corporation. During 2001, we recorded an
impairment of the AmeriLink goodwill aggregating $37.0 million, resulting in a
net goodwill balance at December 31, 2001 of $11.0 million. Goodwill
amortization expense in 2001 and 2000 was $2.6 million and $2.3 million,
respectively. See "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" below for further
discussion of goodwill.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets (primarily property, plant
and equipment and goodwill) held and used by us or to be disposed of are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the net book value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss
is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and
before interest) from the use of the asset is less than the net book value of
the asset. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the
related assets.
Derivatives: In June 1998 and June 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133)," respectively. These standards establish accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded on the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS Nos. 133
and 138 also require that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The
adoption of these standards on January 1, 2001, did not have an effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
We maintain strict internal controls, which include policies and procedures for
risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of all derivative
financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. To qualify for hedge
accounting, derivatives must meet defined correlation and effectiveness
criteria, be designated as a hedge and result in cash flows and financial
statement effects that substantially offset those of the position being hedged.
During the third quarter of 2001, we entered into several interest rate swap
agreements, with maturities ranging from 2004 to 2007, to manage our exposure to
interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of our long-term
debt from fixed to variable rates. The accounting for changes in the fair value
of an interest rate swap depends on the use of the swap. To the extent that a
swap is effective as a cash flow hedge of an exposure to future changes in cash
flows, the change in fair value of the swap is deferred in accumulated other
comprehensive income. To the extent that a derivative is effective as a hedge of
an exposure to future changes in fair value, the change in the derivative's fair
value is recorded in earnings, as is the change in fair value of the item being
hedged. Any portion considered to be ineffective will be reported in earnings
immediately. The differentials to be received or paid under interest rate swap
contracts designated as hedges are recognized in income over the life of the
contracts as adjustments to interest expense. Gains and losses on terminations
of interest rate contracts designated as hedges are deferred and amortized into
interest expense over the remaining life of the original contracts or until
repayment of the hedged indebtedness.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The fair value of financial instruments is
determined by reference to various market data and other valuation techniques as
appropriate. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial
instruments approximate their recorded values due primarily to the short-term
nature of their maturities or their varying interest rates.
Revenue Recognition: Our revenue is derived primarily through the sale of
private label and third party branded products to consumers. Services and other
operating revenues are less than 10% of total revenue. Revenue is recognized
when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is
fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Residual income
is recorded as earned under the terms of each contract with the service
provider, which is typically as the service provider bills its customer.
Additionally, our retail operations offer extended service contracts on products
sold. These contracts generally provide extended service coverage for periods of
12 to 60 months. We offer these contracts in all but three states on behalf of
an unrelated third party obligor. We are not considered the primary obligor on
these contracts. In these circumstances, our share of commission revenue is
recognized as income at the time of sale of the contract. For the contracts
offered in the three states where we are the primary obligor, revenues from the
sale of these contracts are recognized ratably over the lives of the contracts.
Costs directly related to the sale of such contracts are deferred and charged to
expense proportionately as the revenues are recognized. A loss is recognized on
extended service contracts if the sum of the expected costs of providing
services pursuant to the contracts exceeds the related unearned revenue.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability
method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
basis of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. In addition, we recognize future tax benefits to the extent that
realization of such benefits are more likely than not.
Common Stock Put Options: A common stock put option is an equity instrument
whereby we receive an upfront cash premium for granting another party the option
to sell a defined number of our shares to us at a fixed price on a specified
future date. The proceeds received upon the sale of these instruments are
recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. Subsequent changes in the fair
value of the equity instruments are not recognized. There were no common stock
put options outstanding at the end of 2001.
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed based only on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would have
occurred if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised,
converted, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have then
shared in the earnings of the entity. The following table reconciles the
numerator and denominator used in the basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations.

Options to purchase 12.2 million, 0.9 million and 3.3 million shares of common
stock in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per common share because the option exercise price was
greater than the average market price of the common stock during the year.
Stock-Based Compensation: We have adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS 123"), on a disclosure basis only. We measure
compensation costs under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and its related interpretations.
Advertising Costs: Our advertising costs are expensed the first time the
advertising takes place. Advertising expense was $253.9 million, $227.1 million
and $199.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period, except for those
changes resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of the gain on an interest rate swap
used as a cash flow hedge and foreign currency translation adjustments, which
are shown net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of
Stockholders' Equity.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the December 31, 2000 and 1999 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the December 31, 2001
presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or
stockholders' equity as previously reported.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: The Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("FAS 142"), in July 2001, which establishes accounting and reporting standards
for goodwill and other intangible assets. FAS 142 becomes effective for all
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Among other
things, FAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill, but requires an annual
review of the possible impairment of goodwill. We adopted FAS 142 effective
January 1, 2002.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 144"), in October 2001, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for impairment and disposition of
long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. FAS 144 becomes effective
for all financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 and, generally, its provisions are to be applied prospectively. We are
analyzing the provisions of FAS 144, as they relate to our accounting policies.
The impact, if any, of the adoption of FAS 144 has not been determined at this
time.
NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

On August 31, 1998, we sold 100% of the outstanding common stock of our Computer
City, Inc. subsidiary to CompUSA Inc. for cash and an unsecured note of $136.0
million. On June 22, 2001, we received $123.6 million for the settlement of the
purchase price and settlement of the $136.0 million note. Thus, we incurred an
additional loss from the sale of Computer City, Inc. of $12.4 million.
During the second quarter of 2000, we made a $30.0 million investment in
Digital:Convergence Corporation, a privately-held Internet technology company.
In the first quarter of 2001, we believed that our investment had experienced a
decline in value that, in our opinion, was other than temporary. This belief was
due to the uncertainty surrounding Digital:Convergence's ability to secure
sufficient additional funding or to complete an initial public offering. As
such, we recorded a loss provision equal to our initial investment.
NOTE 6 - IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
AmeriLink Corporation, also known as RadioShack Installation Services ("RSIS"),
was acquired in 1999 to provide us with residential installation capabilities
for the technologies and services offered in our retail stores. Since their
acquisition, RSIS has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows. In 2000
and in 2001, we attempted to restructure and reorganize RSIS, but due to the
overall slowdown in the economy and the lag in the market for home connectivity
services, RSIS continued to report losses. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we
prepared a revised analysis of the their estimated future cash flows, which
indicated that their long-lived assets were impaired. The carrying value of
RSIS's long-lived assets (principally goodwill and fixed assets) exceeded the
discounted present value of the estimated future cash flows by approximately
$37.0 million. An impairment of goodwill for that amount was recorded and
included in the accompanying 2001 Consolidated Statement of Income. The
remaining balance of RSIS's goodwill is $8.1 million, which will be subject to
future impairment analyses.
Our strategic alliance with Blockbuster to introduce a RadioShack
"store-within-a-store" at Blockbuster locations did not provide sufficient cash
flows to recover our investment in fixtures and other fixed assets. An
impairment loss of $2.8 million was recorded for those assets in 2001 and is
included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The fair value of our long-term debt of $647.8 million (including current
portion, but excluding capital leases) was approximately $666.0 million at
December 31, 2001. The fair value was computed using interest rates which were
in effect at December 31, 2001, for similar debt instruments.
On May 11, 2001, we issued $350.0 million of 10-year 7 3/8% notes in a private
offering to initial purchasers who offered the notes to qualified institutional
buyers by relying upon SEC Rule 144A. Interest is payable on November 15 and May
15 of each year. Payment of interest on the notes commenced on November 15,
2001, and the notes mature on May 15, 2011. On August 3, 2001, under the terms
of an exchange offering filed with the SEC, we exchanged substantially all of
these notes for a similar amount of publicly registered notes. The net effect of
this exchange was that no additional debt was issued on August 3, 2001, and
substantially all of the notes are now publicly registered with the SEC.
We have a $300.0 million Debt Shelf Registration Statement ("Shelf
Registration") which became effective in August 1997. Our medium and long-term
notes outstanding at December 31, 2001, under the 1997 Shelf Registration
totaled $296.0 million. The interest rate for the outstanding $150.0 million
10-year unsecured long-term notes is 6.95%. These notes are due September 1,
2007. The interest rates at December 31, 2001, for the outstanding $146.0
million medium-term notes ranged from 6.09% to 7.35% with a weighted average
coupon rate of 6.6%. These medium-term notes have maturities ranging from 2002
to 2008.
During the third quarter of 2001, we entered into several interest rate swap
agreements, with maturities ranging from 2004 to 2007, to manage our exposure to
interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of our long-term
debt from fixed to variable rates. The notional amount of the interest rate
swaps subject to variable rates is $150.0 million. Under these agreements, we
have contracted to pay a variable rate based upon LIBOR and to receive fixed
rate payments ranging from 6.95% to 7.35%. We have designated the agreements as
fair value hedging instruments. At December 31, 2001, we recorded an asset of
$2.9 million (its fair value) for the swap agreements and adjusted the fair
value of the related debt by the same amount.

Our short-term credit facilities, including revolving credit lines, are
summarized in the accompanying short-term borrowing facilities table above. The
method used to compute averages in the short-term borrowing facilities table is
based on a daily weighted average computation which takes into consideration the
time period such debt was outstanding, as well as the amount outstanding. Our
financing, primarily short-term debt, consists of short-term seasonal bank debt
and commercial paper. The commercial paper and the short-term seasonal bank debt
have a typical maturity of 90 days or less. The amount of commercial paper that
could be outstanding during 2001 was limited to a maximum of $600.0 million,
which is based on the limits of the 364-day credit facility and the five-year
credit facility.
In the second quarter of 2001, we renewed our existing $300.0 million 364-day
revolving credit facility and also extended the maturity date to June 2002. The
terms of the 364-day revolving credit facility remained similar to the previous
facility. Our $300.0 million five-year revolving credit facility maturing June
2003 did not change. The revolving credit facilities will support any future
commercial paper borrowings and are otherwise available for general corporate
purposes. Annual commitment fees for the facilities are 0.07% of the $300.0
million 364-day facility and 0.085% of the $300.0 million multiyear facility,
whether used or unused.
We established an employee stock ownership trust in June 1990. Further
information on the trust and its related indebtedness, which we guarantee, is
detailed in the discussion of the Tandy Fund in Note 18.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
We are currently a party to a class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court
of Orange County, California, relating to the calculation of earned overtime
wages for certain of our former and current employees in that state. While the
alleged damages in this lawsuit are substantial, we believe that we have
meritorious defenses and we are vigorously defending this case. We believe that
if an adverse resolution of the litigation occurs, it could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations for the year in which resolution
occurs. However, we do not believe that such an adverse resolution would have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or liquidity. The liability,
if any, associated with this matter was not determinable at December 31, 2001.
We have various other pending claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties,
investigations and actions incident to the operation of our business. Although
occasional adverse settlements or resolutions may occur and negatively impact
earnings in the year of settlement, it is our opinion that their ultimate
resolution will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition
or liquidity. The liability, if any, associated with these various matters was
not determinable at December 31, 2001.
We lease rather than own most of our facilities. Our retail stores comprise the
largest portion of our leased facilities. These stores are located primarily in
major shopping malls and shopping centers owned by other companies. Some leases
are based on a minimum rental plus a percentage of the store's sales in excess
of a stipulated base figure. We also lease distribution centers and office
space. In addition, we have capital leases related to our computer and operating
systems.
Future minimum rent commitments at December 31, 2001, for all long-term
noncancelable leases (net of immaterial amounts of sublease rent income) are
included in the following table.

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE SEPARATION AND OTHER COSTS
During the third quarter of 2001, as part of our effort to control operating
costs, we incurred approximately $13.5 million in charges related to a reduction
of our labor force, primarily for early retirements and involuntary and
voluntary employee severance. In addition, during the fourth quarter, $4.8
million in charges were incurred relating primarily to the closure of RSIS's
national commercial installation business. These costs are primarily comprised
of severance costs, write-offs of certain fixed assets and future lease
commitments. Costs incurred which impact continuing activities were excluded
from this charge.
NOTE 12 - 1996 BUSINESS RESTRUCTURING
In 1996 and 1997, we initiated certain restructuring programs in which a number
of McDuff, Computer City and Incredible Universe retail stores were closed. We
still have certain real estate obligations related to some of these stores. At
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, this accrual totaled $11.8
million, $11.0 million and $14.5 million. During 2001 and 2000, additional
provisions of $3.0 million and $0.8 million were recorded, while costs of $2.2
million, $4.3 million and $5.7 million were charged to this liability in 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 13 - MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY
In November 1999, we formed a limited liability company, RadioShack.com LLC, and
in January 2000 Microsoft Corporation contributed $100.0 million for 100% of the
preferred units in this company. On July 6, 2001, we purchased all of
Microsoft's preferred units in RadioShack.com LLC for $88.0 million, thereby
eliminating the minority interest in RadioShack.com LLC. The difference in the
initial price of the preferred units and repurchase price was treated as a
redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred units, which resulted in an
increase to additional paid-in capital.
NOTE 14 - TREASURY STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On December 14, 2000, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized
management to purchase up to 10.0 million shares of our common stock. During
2001, 9.3 million shares were repurchased for $250.4 million. Additionally, on
December 13, 2001, we announced that our Board of Directors had expanded that
existing program to authorize us to purchase up to 25.0 million shares of our
common stock. The expanded program has no expiration date.
The purchases under the share repurchase program described above are in addition
to the shares required for employee stock purchase plans, which are purchased
throughout the year.
NOTE 15 - STOCK OPTIONS AND PERFORMANCE AWARDS
We have implemented several plans to award employees stock-based compensation.
Under the Incentive Stock Plans ("ISPs") described below, the exercise price of
options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value on the date of
grant. The 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2001 ISPs each terminate after ten years; no
option or award may be granted under the ISPs after the ISP termination date.
The Organization and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") specifies the
terms for grants of options under these ISPs; terms of these options may not
exceed 10 years. Grants of options generally vest over three years. Option
agreements issued under the ISPs generally provide that, in the event of a
change in control, all options become immediately and fully exercisable.
Repricing or exchanging options for lower priced options is not permitted under
the ISPs without shareholder approval.
The 1993, 1997, 1999 and 2001 ISPs specify that each of our non-employee
directors will receive a grant of non-qualified stock options (options which are
not incentive stock options) ("NQs") for 16,000 shares of our common stock on
the first business day of September each year ("Director Options"). However,
Director Option grants are not made under more than one ISP in the same year.
New directors upon election or appointment will receive a one-time grant of
20,000 shares at the time they attend their first Board meeting, and these new
directors will not receive the annual Director Option grant until they have
served at least one year. Director Options under the 1993 and 1997 ISPs have an
exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the
trading day prior to the date of grant. Director Options under the 1999 and 2001
ISPs have an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of a share of our
common stock on the date of grant. If a grant is made under the 1999 or 2001
ISPs on a non-trading date, the closest previous trading date is used. Under
these four ISPs, one-third of the Director Options vest annually on the first
three anniversary dates of the date of grant and options expire ten years after
the date of grant.
A brief description of each our stock plans follows:
1985 Stock Option Plan ("1985 SOP") - Under the 1985 SOP, as amended,
options to acquire up to 8.0 million shares of our common stock were
authorized to be granted to our officers and key management employees.
The 1985 SOP terminated in 1995 and no further grants may be made under
this plan.
1993 Incentive Stock Plan ("1993 ISP") - The 1993 ISP permits the grant of
up to 12.0 million shares in the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs"),
NQs and restricted stock. There were 666,566 shares available on December
31, 2001, for grants under the 1993 ISP.
1994 Stock Incentive Plan ("1994 SIP") - On July 30, 1999, we acquired
AmeriLink Corporation, which provides services to us as RSIS. As part of the
purchase of AmeriLink, we agreed to assume the existing AmeriLink
Corporation 1994 Stock Incentive Plan and certain related agreements and to
convert AmeriLink's stock options to our stock options, subject to an agreed
upon exchange ratio and conversion price. Thus, the AmeriLink 1994 SIP was
assumed and adopted by us in 1999. All shares in the 1994 SIP were fully
vested on the date of transition and no further grants may be made under
this plan. There were certain restricted stock agreements that were also
assumed by us at the time of acquisition.
1997 Incentive Stock Plan ("1997 ISP") - The 1997 ISP permits the grant of
up to 11.0 million shares in the form of ISOs, NQs and restricted stock. The
1997 ISP provides that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that
an eligible employee may receive in any calendar year with respect to
options may not exceed 1.0 million shares. There were 572,731 shares
available on December 31, 2001, for grants under the 1997 ISP.
1999 Incentive Stock Plan ("1999 ISP") - The 1999 ISP permits the grant of
up to 9.5 million shares in the form of NQs to broad based employee groups,
primarily our 5,000 plus store managers and to other eligible employees and
non-employee directors. Grants of restricted stock, performance awards and
options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal
Revenue Code are not authorized under the 1999 ISP. The 1999 ISP provides
that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that an eligible
employee may receive in any calendar year with respect to options may not
exceed 1.0 million shares. There were 58,074 shares available on December
31, 2001, for grants under the 1999 ISP.
2001 Incentive Stock Plan ("2001 ISP") - The 2001 ISP permits the grant of
up to 9.2 million shares in the form of ISOs and NQs. The 2001 ISP provides
that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that an eligible
employee may receive in any calendar year with respect to options may not
exceed 0.5 million shares. There were 7,220,875 shares available on December
31, 2001, for grants under the 2001 ISP.

Restricted Stock: We may also use restricted stock grants to compensate certain
of our employees. As of December 31, 2001, 37,844 shares of restricted stock
were outstanding, but not fully vested. Compensation expense related to
restricted shares is recognized over the related service period. This expense
totaled $0.7 million, $1.2 million and $12.6 million for the years ended
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Store Manager Restricted Stock Grants - On February 1, 1998, we granted
approximately 649,500 restricted stock awards consisting of 500 shares each
to 1,299 store managers. The February 1998 restricted stock awards had a
weighted average fair market value of $19.61 per share when granted. This
restricted stock grant was to vest at the end of five years on February 2,
2003, if the managers receiving the grants were still employed by us at a
store manager or higher position, at that time. However, the grants provided
that the restricted shares would vest earlier if our common stock closed at
$29.0625 or more for any 20 consecutive trading days beginning February 1,
2000. At December 31, 1999, it was probable that the 348,000 restricted
stock awards that remained outstanding under this grant would vest under
early vesting provisions. The resulting charge to compensation expense of
$14.7 million, including related payroll taxes, was recorded as of December
31, 1999.
Other Restricted Stock Grants - In 1997, the Committee granted a total of
56,000 shares of restricted stock awards to three executive officers. These
awards vested ratably over 3 years and were fully vested in 2000. In 1998,
the Committee granted a total of 172,000 shares of restricted stock awards
to three executive officers. Of these awards, 100,000 shares vested ratably
over 3 years and were fully vested in 2001. The remaining 72,000 shares
awarded to one officer were to vest on October 23, 2005; however, shares in
blocks of 24,000 would vest earlier if our common stock price exceeded
certain levels for 15 consecutive trading days. All 72,000 of these shares
vested in 1999. In 1999, the Committee granted 10,000 shares of restricted
stock awards to two executive officers. These awards were to vest ratably
over 3 years; 4,000 of these awards were canceled in 2000. At December 31,
2001, all of the 1999 shares granted had either vested or been cancelled. In
2000, the Committee granted a total of 66,712 shares of restricted stock
awards to 38 executive officers and these awards vest ratably over 3 years,
subject to the achievement of certain performance targets each year. At
December 31, 2001, 37,844 of the shares granted in 2000 remained
outstanding. No restricted awards were granted in 2001.
Pro Forma Information: Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings
per share as required by FAS 123 has been determined as if we had accounted for
our employee stock options and restricted stock awards under the fair value
method of that statement. The fair value of each option is estimated on the date
of grant. The weighted average assumptions used for stock option grants in 2001,
2000 and 1999 were, respectively: expected dividend yields of 0.7%, 1.6% and
1.7%; expected volatilities of 42.3%, 37.1% and 30.9%; risk free interest rates
of 4.9%, 6.5% and 5.5% and expected lives of six years.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
and restricted stock awards is amortized to expense over the vesting period. Our
pro forma information follows:

NOTE 16 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Executive Deferred Stock Plan
("Compensation Plans") became effective on April 1, 1998. These plans permit
employees who are corporate or division officers to defer up to 80% of their
base salary and/or bonuses. Certain executive officers may defer up to 100% of
their base salary and/or bonuses. In addition, officers are permitted to defer
delivery of any restricted stock or stock acquired under an NQ stock option
exercise that would otherwise vest. Cash deferrals may be made in our common
stock or mutual funds; however, restricted stock and stock acquired under an NQ
stock option exercise may only be made in our common stock. We match 12% of
salary and bonus deferrals in the form of our common stock. We will match an
additional 25% of salary and bonus deferrals if the deferral period exceeds five
years and the deferrals are invested in our common stock. Payment of deferrals
will be made in cash and our common stock in accordance with the employee's
specifications at the time of the deferral; payments to the employee will be in
a lump sum or in annual installments not to exceed 20 years.
We contributed $1.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.0 million to the Compensation
Plans for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 17 - COMPANY STOCK PLAN
Eligible employees may contribute 1% to 7% of their annual compensation to
purchase our common stock at the monthly average daily closing price. We match
40%, 60% or 80% of the employee's contribution, depending on his or her length
of continuous participation in the Stock Plan. This match is also in the form of
our common stock. Company contributions to the Stock Plan amounted to $15.4
million, $16.7 million and $15.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 18 - TANDY FUND
The Tandy Fund ("Plan") is a defined contribution plan. Eligible employees may
direct their contributions into various investment options, including investing
in our common stock. Participants may defer, via payroll deductions, 1% to 8% of
their annual compensation. Contributions per participant are limited to certain
annual maximums permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Company contributions
are made directly to the Plan through the Tandy Employees Stock Ownership Plan
("TESOP") portion of the Plan. The TESOP is a leveraged employee stock ownership
plan. Effective April 1, 2002, participants become fully vested in the
contributions we make to the Plan upon completion of three years of service with
us.
TESOP Portion of the Plan: On July 31, 1990, the trustee of the Plan borrowed
$100.0 million at an interest rate of 9.34%; this amount was paid off on June
30, 2000 ("TESOP Notes"). The Plan trustee used the proceeds from the 1990
issuance of the TESOP Notes to purchase from us 100,000 shares of TESOP
Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share. In December 1994, the Plan
entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party to refinance up to $16.7
million of the TESOP Notes in a series of six annual notes (the "Refinanced
Notes"), beginning December 30, 1994. As of December 31, 1999, the Plan had
borrowed all of the $16.7 million for the refinancing of the TESOP Notes. As of
December 31, 2001, the Plan had repaid three of the Refinanced Notes totaling
$12.9 million. The maturity date for the remaining three Refinanced Notes
totaling $3.8 million with interest rates ranging from 5.84% to 7.61% is
December 2002. Dividend payments and contributions received by the Plan from us
will be used to repay the indebtedness.
Each share of TESOP Preferred Stock is convertible into 87.072 shares of our
common stock. The annual cumulative dividend on TESOP Preferred Stock is $75.00
per share, payable semiannually. Because we have guaranteed the repayment of the
Refinanced Notes, the indebtedness of the Plan is recognized as a liability in
the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. An offsetting charge has been made
in the stockholders' equity section of the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets to reflect unearned deferred compensation related to the Plan.
Compensation and interest expenses related to the Plan before the reduction for
the allocation of dividends are presented below for each year ended December 31:
(In millions) 2001 2000 1999
- ------------- ---- ---- ----
Compensation expense $ 6.4 $ 7.8 $ 8.7
Interest expense 0.8 1.4 2.3
Until the Plan year-end following the date when the Refinanced Notes have been
paid in full, the TESOP Preferred Stock will be allocated to the participants
annually, based on the total debt service made on the indebtedness. As shares of
the TESOP Preferred Stock are allocated to Plan participants, compensation
expense is recorded and unearned deferred compensation is reduced. Interest
expense on the Refinanced Notes is also recognized as a cost of the Plan. The
compensation component of the Plan expense is reduced by the amount of dividends
accrued on the TESOP Preferred Stock, with any dividends in excess of the
compensation expense reflected as a reduction of interest expense.
Contributions made by us to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999 totaled $8.6 million, $10.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively,
including dividends paid on the TESOP Preferred Stock of $4.9 million, $5.3
million and $5.5 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2001, 97,200 of the original 100,000 shares of TESOP
Preferred Stock had been released to participants' accounts in the Plan,
including 35,465 shares of the TESOP Preferred Stock previously withdrawn by
participants. The remaining 2,800 shares of TESOP Preferred Stock are available
for later release and allocation to participants' accounts over the remaining
life of the Refinanced Notes. The appraised value of these remaining shares was
$7.4 million at December 31, 2001. The TESOP Preferred Stock has certain
liquidation preferences and may be redeemed after July 1, 1994, at specified
premiums. As of March 31, 2001, 91,259 of the 97,200 released TESOP Preferred
Stock shares had been allocated to participants' Plan accounts. The remaining
5,941 released shares are to be allocated to participants' accounts on March 31,
2002, which is the Plan's annual allocation date.
NOTE 19 - PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS
In July 1999, the Board of Directors amended and restated a stockholder rights
plan which declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of our
common stock. The rights plan, as amended and restated, will expire on July 26,
2009. The rights are currently represented by our common stock certificates.
When the rights become exercisable, they will entitle each holder to purchase
1/10,000th of a share of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for
an exercise price of $250 (subject to adjustment). The rights will become
exercisable and will trade separately from the common stock only upon the date
of public announcement that a person, entity or group ("Person") has acquired
15% or more of our outstanding common stock without the consent or approval of
the disinterested directors ("Acquiring Person") or ten days after the
commencement or public announcement of a tender or exchange offer which would
result in any Person becoming an Acquiring Person. In the event that any Person
becomes an Acquiring Person, the rights will be exercisable for 60 days
thereafter for our common stock with a market value (as determined under the
rights plan) equal to twice the exercise price. In the event that, after any
Person becomes an Acquiring Person, we engage in certain mergers,
consolidations, or sales of assets representing 50% or more of our assets or
earning power with an Acquiring Person (or Persons acting on behalf of or in
concert with an Acquiring Person) or in which all holders of common stock are
not treated alike, the rights will be exercisable for common stock of the
acquiring or surviving company with a market value (as determined under the
rights plan) equal to twice the exercise price. The rights will not be
exercisable by any Acquiring Person. The rights are redeemable at a price of
$0.01 per right prior to any Person becoming an Acquiring Person or, under
certain circumstances, after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person.
NOTE 20 - TERMINATION PROTECTION PLANS
In August 1990 and in May 1995, our Board of Directors approved termination
protection plans and amendments to the termination protection plans,
respectively. These plans provide for defined termination benefits to be paid to
our eligible employees who have been terminated, without cause, following a
change in control of our company. In addition, for a certain period of time
following an employee's termination, we, at our expense, must continue to
provide on behalf of the terminated employee certain employment benefits. In
general, during the twelve months following a change in control, we may not
terminate or change existing employee benefit plans in any way which would
affect accrued benefits or decrease the rate of our contribution to the plans.
NOTE 21 - DIVIDENDS DECLARED
We declared dividends of $0.165, $0.220 and $0.205 for the years 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. On July 25, 2001, we announced that we would pay cash
dividends on an annual, instead of quarterly, basis beginning in 2002. Dividends
declared in 2002 and thereafter, if any, will be paid annually in December.
NOTE 22 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Cash flows from operating activities included cash payments as follows:

SUBJECT: Compensation Plan, Fiscal Year 2001
Your compensation plan for fiscal year 2001, as approved by the Organization and
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, is outlined below.
Your compensation plan for fiscal year 2001 is outlined below.
I. FY 2001 Base Salary
Your Base Salary for FY2001 shall be $.
II. Your bonus for FY2001 shall be determined by multiplying the percent
determined in the following TARGET INCENTIVE GOALS times the FACTORS
set forth below.
The bonus amounts payable are subject to limitations set forth in
Paragraph III and IV.
TARGET INCENTIVE GOALS:
1. INCOME
Each percentage point of positive change that the RadioShack Corporation
and subsidiaries income from operations (before income taxes) increases
from $.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Each percentage point of positive change that the RadioShack Corporation
diluted earnings per share increases from the $ per share.
3. STOCK PRICE
a. Each percentage point of positive change that the RadioShack
Corporation stock price increases, based on the average daily closing
price for 2000 and 2001.
b. If RadioShack's average daily closing stock price outperforms the
"Peer Group's" average daily closing stock price, you will receive an
additional bonus of $.
Income and Earnings Per Share will be calculated excluding the
effect of Financial Accounting Standards requirements i.e.
FAS121, store manager restricted stock transactions and
extraordinary federal tax refunds relating to prior periods.
Percentages shall be calculated to two decimal points.
Your factors to be used for each of the calculations above are as
follows:
1. Income increase: $
2. Earnings per share increase: $
3. Stock price increase: $
III. Minimum Bonus
Minimum Threshold Increase Percent for Each Target Incentive Goal
Minimum Increase %
1. Income
2. Earnings per share
3. Stock price
a. RadioShack Stock Increase
b. Peer Group N/A
Bonus will only be paid on each goal which exceeds the Minimum Increase
% set forth above.
IV. Maximum Bonus:
The bonus paid will be limited to an amount not to exceed three times
your base salary.
V. This compensation plan is not an employment contract, but a method
of calculating your total earnings. You forfeit your rights to receive a
bonus if you resign before the end of the current fiscal year. If
you are terminated by the Company, your rights to receive a bonus will
be at the sole discretion of the Company and in such amount as the
Company might decide. If you retire at age 55 or over, provided the
Company has given its consent to your early retirement, or die before
the end of the then current fiscal year, your bonus will be calculated
using actual results to the nearest end of the month preceding or
succeeding such event, which will then be adjusted using the latest
budget to include the remaining months of the year. Example: Retirement
date is August 10. Bonus calculations would include actual results thru
July 31 and the latest budgeted numbers from August thru December. The
bonus calculated, which will be an annual bonus, will then be prorated
for the partial year worked i.e. 7/12 times annual bonus calculated
in this example. The Stock Price percentage will be calculated using
only actual results to the nearest end of the month for this year and
last year. The amount will be paid to you or the legal representative
of your estate.
VI. If at any time during your continued employment, your responsibility,
duties or title changes, this plan is subject to revision or termination
by the Company at the time of the foregoing change. A partial year bonus
will be calculated using the methodology set forth in paragraph V.
