in 1989, is a leading global retailer of athletic footwear and apparel,
operating, as of February 1, 2003, 3,625 primarily mall-based stores in North
America, Europe and Australia. Foot Locker, Inc. and its subsidiaries hereafter
are referred to as the "Registrant."

The Registrant maintains a website on the Internet at

The Registrant operates in two reportable business segments - Athletic

in the athletic industry, with specialized retail formats, catalogs and Internet
websites targeted specifically to the men's, women's and children's segments of
the market, allowing the Registrant to tailor its merchandise and service
offerings more effectively to its targeted customers. The disposition of all
businesses previously held for disposal was completed in 2001. The following

business segments in 2002:

emphasizes turnover and takes markdowns where required to keep merchandise fresh
and current with trends.

in interest rates, primarily in the United States. There were no short-term

debt obligations reflect variable interest rate borrowings under the
