**SEARS DC CORP.****NOTES TO FINANCIALSTATEMENTS****(Unaudited)**

**Notes to Financial Statements***(thousands)*
Sears DC Corp. ("SDC"), awholly-owned subsidiary of Sears, Roebuck and Co. ("Sears"), was formedto borrow in domestic and foreign debt markets and lend the proceeds ofsuch borrowings to Sears and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries ofSears in exchange for their unsecured notes. The only current outstandingdebts of SDC are two series of medium-term notes. SDC does not plan toissue additional debt.
Under an agreement betweenSDC and Sears, the interest rate paid by Sears on its unsecured notes isdesigned to produce earnings sufficient to cover SDC's fixed charges atleast 1.005 times. Required payments of principal and interest to SDC underthe Sears borrowing agreement are intended to be sufficient to allow SDCto make timely payments of principal and interest to the holders of itssecurities.
Certain information and footnotedisclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.The significant accounting policies used in the presentation of these financialstatements are consistent with the summary of significant accounting policiesset forth in SDC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 30, 2000, and these financial statements should be read in conjunctionwith the financial statements and notes found therein. The interim financialstatements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurringaccruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fairstatement of the results for the interim periods presented. The resultsof operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicativeof the results to be expected for the full year.
The medium-term notes aregenerally not redeemable except under certain circumstances, primarilyin the event of a significant decline in Discover Card receivables of Searsformer subsidiary, Dean Witter, which is now a part of Morgan Stanley.Selected details of SDC's borrowings are shown below.
