Retail Ventures, Inc. (&#147;RVI&#148; or &#147;Retail Ventures&#148;). In December&nbsp;2004, RVI completed a
corporate reorganization whereby Value City Department Stores, Inc. merged with and into Value
City Department Stores LLC (&#147;Value City&#148;), another wholly-owned subsidiary of RVI. In turn,
Value City transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of DSW to RVI in exchange for
a promissory note. On June&nbsp;29, 2005, DSW commenced an initial public offering (&#147;IPO&#148;) that
closed on July&nbsp;5, 2005. DSW&#146;s Class&nbsp;A common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange

    <TD>DSW operates in two segments and sells better-branded footwear in both. DSW stores also sell
accessories. As of April&nbsp;29, 2006, DSW operated a total of 204 stores located throughout the
United States as one segment. These DSW stores offer a wide selection of brand name and
designer dress, casual and athletic footwear for men and women. DSW also operates leased shoe
departments for three non-affiliated retailers and one affiliated retailer in our leased
department segment. DSW entered into supply agreements to merchandise the non-affiliated shoe
departments in Stein Mart, Inc. (&#147;Stein Mart&#148;), Gordmans, Inc. (&#147;Gordmans&#148;) and Frugal
Fannie&#146;s Fashion Warehouse (&#147;Frugal Fannie&#146;s&#148;) as of July&nbsp;2002, June&nbsp;2004 and September&nbsp;2003,

Basement&#148;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RVI, since its acquisition by RVI in March&nbsp;2000.
Effective as of January&nbsp;30, 2005, we updated and reaffirmed our contractual arrangement with
Filene&#146;s Basement. DSW owns the merchandise, records sales of merchandise net of returns and
sales tax, owns the fixtures (except for Filene&#146;s Basement) and provides supervisory
assistance in these covered locations. Stein Mart, Gordmans, Frugal Fannie&#146;s and Filene&#146;s
Basement provide the sales associates. DSW pays a percentage of net sales as rent. As of
April&nbsp;29, 2006, DSW supplied 158 leased departments for Stein Mart, 57 for Gordmans, 25 for
Filene&#146;s Basement and one for Frugal Fannie&#146;s.</TD>

    <TD>Forfeitures are estimated at the grant date based on historical rates of the parent company&#146;s
stock option activity and reduce the compensation expense recognized. The expected term of
options granted is derived from historical data of the parent company&#146;s stock options due to
the limited historical data on the DSW stock activity and was five years for the three months
ended April&nbsp;29, 2006. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield for U.S. Treasury
securities with a remaining life equal to the five year expected term of the options at the
grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the DSW common
shares combined with the historical volatility of four similar companies&#146; common shares, due
to the relative short historical trading history of the DSW common shares. The expected
volatility used for the three months ended April&nbsp;29, 2006 was
42.62%. The expected dividend
yield curve is zero, which is based on the Company&#146;s intention of not declaring dividends to
shareholders combined with the limitations on declaring dividends as
set forth in the Company&#146;s
credit facility. </TD>

    <TD>The Company estimates that the potential exposure for losses related to this theft, including
exposure under currently pending proceedings, range from approximately $6.5&nbsp;million to
approximately $9.5&nbsp;million. Because of many factors, including the early development of
information regarding the theft and recoverability under insurance policies, there is no
amount in the estimated range that represents a better estimate than any other amount in the
range. Therefore, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No.&nbsp;5, <I>Accounting for
Contingencies</I>, the Company has accrued a charge to operations in the first quarter of fiscal
2005 equal to the low end of the range set forth above, or $6.5&nbsp;million. As the situation
develops and more information becomes available, the amount of the reserve may increase or
decrease accordingly. The amount of any such change may be material.
As of April&nbsp;29,
2006, the remaining balance of the associated accrual for potential
exposure was $4.6&nbsp;million.</TD>

    <TD>The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct
of its business. The Company estimates the range of liability related to pending litigation
where the amount and range of loss can be estimated. The Company records its best estimate of
a loss when the loss is considered probable. Where a liability is probable and there is a
range of estimated loss, the Company records the minimum estimated liability related to the
claim. In the opinion of management, the amount of any liability with respect to these legal
proceedings will not be material. As additional information becomes available, the Company
assesses the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revises the estimates.
Revisions in the Company&#146;s estimates and potential liability could materially impact its
results of operations and financial condition.</TD>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DSW is a leading U.S. specialty branded footwear retailer operating 204 DSW stores in 33 states as
of April&nbsp;29, 2006. We offer in our DSW stores a combination of selection, convenience and value
that we believe differentiates us from our competitors such as mall-based department stores,
national chains and independent shoe retailers and appeals to consumers from a broad range of
socioeconomic and demographic backgrounds. In addition to operating DSW stores, as of April&nbsp;29,
2006, we operated a total of 216 leased shoe departments for three non-affiliated retailers,
including 158 leased shoe departments for Stein Mart, Inc. (&#147;Stein Mart&#148;); 57 for Gordman&#146;s, Inc.
(&#147;Gordmans&#148;); and one for Frugal Fannie&#146;s Fashion Warehouse (&#147;Frugal Fannie&#146;s&#148;). As of April&nbsp;29,
2006, we also operated 25 leased shoe departments for Filene&#146;s Basement, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Retail Ventures. We plan to further strengthen our position as a leading specialty branded
footwear retailer by pursuing three primary strategies for growth &#151; expanding our store base,
driving sales through enhanced merchandising and continuing to improve profitability.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including, but not
limited to, those related to inventory valuation, depreciation, amortization, recoverability of
long-lived assets (including intangible assets), estimates for self insurance reserves for health
and welfare, workers&#146; compensation and casualty insurance,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">customer loyalty program, income taxes,
contingencies, litigation and revenue recognition. We base these estimates and judgments on our
historical experience and other factors we believe to be relevant, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The process of
determining significant estimates is fact-specific and takes into account factors such as
historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, product mix, and in some cases,
actuarial and appraisal techniques. We constantly re-evaluate these significant factors and make
adjustments where facts and circumstances dictate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">While we believe that our historical experience and other factors considered provide a meaningful
basis for the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated statements, we
cannot guarantee that our estimates and assumptions will be accurate. As the determination of
these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results inevitably will differ from those
estimates, and such differences may be material to our financial statements.

inventory method. The retail inventory method is widely used in the retail industry due to
its practicality. Under the retail inventory method, the valuation of inventories at cost
and the resulting gross profit are calculated by applying a calculated cost to retail ratio
to the retail value of inventories. The cost of the inventory reflected on our
consolidated balance sheet is decreased by charges to cost of sales at the time the retail
value of the inventory is lowered through the use of markdowns. Hence, earnings are
negatively impacted as merchandise is marked down prior to sale. Reserves to value
inventory at the lower of cost or market were $19.6&nbsp;million on April&nbsp;29, 2006 and $19.2

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Net Sales. </I>Net sales for the thirteen week period ended April&nbsp;29, 2006 increased by 12.3%, or
$34.7&nbsp;million, to $316.5&nbsp;million from $281.8&nbsp;million in the thirteen week period ended April&nbsp;30,
2005. Our comparable store sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 improved 4.2% compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2005. The increase in DSW sales includes a net increase of 27 DSW stores
and ten non-affiliated leased shoe departments. The DSW store locations opened subsequent to
April&nbsp;30, 2005 added $21.1&nbsp;million in sales for the quarter
ended April 29, 2006, while the leased shoe departments opened subsequent to
April&nbsp;30, 2005 added $1.0&nbsp;million for the quarter ended
April 29, 2006. Leased shoe department sales comprised 10.3% of total net sales
in the first quarter of fiscal 2006, compared to 10.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, DSW comparable store sales increased in women&#146;s by 5.5%,
athletic by 3.2%, men&#146;s by 1.7%, and accessories by 3.1%. Sales increases in the women&#146;s category
were driven by increases in the seasonal classes, while the increase in the athletic category was
the result of an increase in the women&#146;s and men&#146;s fashion classes. The increase in men&#146;s was
driven by the young men&#146;s class. The increase in the accessories category was driven by an
increase in gifts.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Gross Profit. </I>Gross profit increased $10.5&nbsp;million to $93.3&nbsp;million in the first quarter of fiscal
2006 from $82.8&nbsp;million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and increased as a percentage of net
sales from 29.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to 29.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
The margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was positively affected by an increased initial
markup, a reduction of the internal shrink accrual rate to the comparable prior year period and
decreased warehouse expense. Those positive factors were mostly offset by an increase in markdowns
and increase in occupancy expense. The store occupancy expense increased from 12.6% of net sales
in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to 12.9% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The
increase in store occupancy expense is the result of increases in lease expense for new stores.
Warehouse expense as a percentage of net sales decreased from 1.7% in the first quarter of fiscal
2005 to 1.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in warehouse expense is the result
of improved operational efficiencies achieved through the use of electronic shipping information
and increased unit volumes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Operating Expenses. </I>For the first quarter of fiscal 2006, operating expenses decreased $2.3
million to $65.4&nbsp;million from $67.7&nbsp;million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, which represented
20.7% and 24.1% of net sales, respectively. The favorable operating
percent was in part the result of
leveraging store expenses and marketing, and a reduction in
pre-opening costs. In addition, operating costs for
the first quarter of fiscal 2005 included a charge of $6.5&nbsp;million related to an estimate for
potential losses related to the theft of credit card and other purchase information. Operating
expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 include $0.9&nbsp;million in pre-opening costs compared to
$1.5&nbsp;million in pre-opening costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Pre-opening costs are
expensed as incurred and therefore do not necessarily reflect expenses for the stores opened in a
given fiscal period. Included in operating expenses is the related operating cost, excluding
occupancy, associated with operating the leased shoe departments. The DSW stores and leased shoe
departments that opened subsequent to April&nbsp;30, 2005 added $3.4&nbsp;million in expenses compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 2005, excluding pre-opening and occupancy (excluding depreciation and
amortization) expenses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Operating Profit. </I>Operating profit was $27.9&nbsp;million in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared
to $15.1&nbsp;million in the first quarter of fiscal 2005, and increased as a percentage of net sales
from 5.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 to 8.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Operating profit as a percentage of net sales was impacted by the leveraging of operating expenses
and the estimate for potential losses related to the theft of credit card and other purchase
information that was incurred in the prior fiscal year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Interest Income (Expense). </I>Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 was $1.3&nbsp;million
as compared to $3.5&nbsp;million of interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2005. Interest
income for the quarter was the result of investment activity from funds generated by the IPO and
from operations. The interest expense incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 includes $2.7
million of interest due to RVI relating to $165.0&nbsp;million of indebtedness incurred to fund a
dividend and $0.7&nbsp;million of interest on direct borrowings under the Value City Revolving Credit
Facility.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our business, measured in terms of net sales, is subject to seasonal trends. Our net sales,
measured on a comparable stores basis, have typically been higher in spring and early fall, when
our customers&#146; interest in new seasonal styles increases. Unlike many other retailers, we have not
historically experienced a large increase in net sales during our fourth quarter associated with
the winter holiday season.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our primary ongoing cash requirements are for seasonal and new store inventory purchases, capital
expenditures in connection with our expansion, the remodeling of existing stores and infrastructure
growth. Since our IPO in July&nbsp;2005, we have funded our expenditures with cash flows from
operations. Prior to the IPO, we funded our expenditures with cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the Value City credit facilities to which we had been a party, as described
below. Our working capital and inventory levels typically build seasonally. We believe that we
will be able to continue to fund our operating requirements and the expansion of our business
pursuant to our growth strategy in the future with existing cash, cash flows from operations and
borrowings under the DSW secured revolving credit facility, if necessary.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the thirteen week period ended April&nbsp;29, 2006, our net cash provided by operations was $38.2
million, compared to $25.8&nbsp;million provided by operations for the thirteen week period ended April
30, 2005. The $12.4&nbsp;million increase in cash provided by operations over the comparable period is
primarily due to increased net income and an increase in accounts payable partially offset by an
increase in inventory.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net working capital increased $19.9&nbsp;million to $258.4&nbsp;million at April&nbsp;29, 2006 from $238.5&nbsp;million
at January&nbsp;28, 2006, primarily due to increased cash and inventory related to new stores opened in
fiscal 2006. Current assets divided by current liabilities at April&nbsp;29, 2006 and January&nbsp;28, 2006
were 2.6 and 2.7, respectively.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our future capital expenditures will depend primarily on the number of new stores we open, the
number of existing stores we remodel and the timing of these expenditures. In fiscal 2005, we
opened 29 new DSW stores. We plan to open approximately 30 stores per year in each of the next
four fiscal years. During fiscal 2005, the average investment required to open a typical new DSW
store was approximately $1.4&nbsp;million. Of this amount, gross inventory typically accounted for
approximately $680,000, fixtures and leasehold improvements typically accounted for approximately
$460,000 (prior to tenant allowances) and pre-opening advertising and other pre-opening expenses
typically accounted for approximately $280,000. We plan to finance investment in new stores with
existing cash and cash flows from operating activities.

provides for borrowings at variable interest rates based on LIBOR, the prime rate and the Federal
Funds effective rate, plus a margin. Our obligations under the secured revolving credit facility
are secured by a lien on substantially all of our and our subsidiary&#146;s personal property and a
pledge of our shares of DSWSW. In addition, our secured revolving credit facility contains usual
and customary restrictive covenants relating to our management and the operation of our business.
These covenants will, among other things, restrict our ability to grant liens on our assets, incur
additional indebtedness, open or close stores, pay cash dividends and redeem our stock, enter into
transactions with affiliates and merge or consolidate with another entity. In addition, if at any
time we utilize over 90% of our borrowing capacity under this facility, we must comply with a fixed
charge coverage ratio test set forth in the facility documents. At April&nbsp;29, 2006 and January&nbsp;28,
2006, $141.0 and $136.4&nbsp;million was available under the $150&nbsp;million secured revolving credit
facility and no direct borrowings were outstanding. At April&nbsp;29, 2006 and January&nbsp;28, 2006, $9.0

with 40 East 14 Realty Associates, L.L.C., an unrelated third party, for our Union Square store in
Manhattan, New York. In connection with the lease, Retail Ventures has agreed to guarantee payment
of our rent and other expenses and charges and the performance of our other obligations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Intercompany Accounts</I>. Prior to the completion of our initial public offering in July&nbsp;2005, DSW and
Retail Ventures used intercompany transactions in the conduct of their operations. Under this
arrangement, Retail Ventures acted as a central processing location for payments for the
acquisition of merchandise, payroll, outside services, capital additions and expenses by
controlling the payroll and accounts payable activities for all Retail Ventures&#146; subsidiaries,
including DSW. DSW transferred cash received from sales of merchandise to cash accounts controlled
by Retail Ventures. The concentration of cash and the offsetting payments for merchandise,
expenses, capital assets and accruals for future payments were accumulated on our balance sheet in
advances to affiliates. The balance of advances to affiliates fluctuated based on DSW&#146;s activities
with Retail Ventures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Following completion of our initial public offering, DSW&#146;s intercompany
activities have been limited to
those arrangements set forth in the shared services agreement and the other agreements between DSW
and Retail Ventures. DSW no longer concentrates its cash from the sale of merchandise into Retail
Ventures&#146; accounts but into its own DSW accounts. DSW pays for its own merchandise, expenses and
capital additions from newly established disbursement accounts. Any intercompany payments are made
pursuant to the terms of the shared services agreement and other agreements between DSW and Retail
Ventures.

other Retail Ventures affiliates named as co-borrowers with a separate $50&nbsp;million term loan
comprised of two tranches with initial three-year terms. In July&nbsp;2004, the maturity dates of these
loans were extended until June&nbsp;11, 2006. In connection with the second tranche of these term loans,
Retail Ventures issued to each of Cerberus and SSC warrants to purchase 1,477,396 common shares of
Retail Ventures at a purchase price of $4.50 per share, subject to adjustment. In September&nbsp;2002,
Back Bay Capital Funding LLC (&#147;Back Bay&#148;)  bought from each of Cerberus and SSC a $1.5&nbsp;million interest in each of the tranches of
their term loans for an aggregate $6.0&nbsp;million interest, and Back Bay received from each of
Cerberus and SSC a corresponding portion of the warrants to purchase Retail Ventures common shares
originally issued in connection with the second tranche of their term loans. Effective November&nbsp;23,
2005, Millennium Partners, L.P. (&#147;Millennium&#148;) purchased from Back Bay term loan warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 177,288 of Retail Ventures common shares, subject to adjustment. The term
loans&#146; stated rate of interest per annum through June&nbsp;11, 2004 was 14% if paid in cash and 15% if
the co-borrowers elected a paid-in-kind, or PIK, option. During the first two years of the term
loans, the co-borrowers could elect to pay all interest in PIK. During the final two years of the
term loans, the stated rate of interest was 15.0% if paid in cash or 15.5% if by PIK, and the PIK
option was limited to 50% of the interest due. For fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, the co-borrowers
elected to pay interest in cash.

$13.6&nbsp;million at January&nbsp;28, 2006. If certain conditions are met under these arrangements, the

signed. Our obligations under these commitments aggregated to approximately $0.3&nbsp;million as of
April&nbsp;29, 2006. In addition, we have signed lease agreements for 20 new store locations with annual
rent of approximately $7.6&nbsp;million. In connection with the new lease agreements, we will receive
approximately $5.8&nbsp;million of tenant allowances, which will reimburse us for expenditures at these

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) periodically issues Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards (&#147;SFAS&#148;), some of which require implementation by a date falling within or
after the close of the fiscal year. See Note 5 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the new
accounting standards implemented during the quarter ended April 29,
2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An exposure draft of the proposed interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting for
Uncertain Tax Provisions, </I>was issued in July&nbsp;2005. The exposure draft contains proposed guidance
on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. If adopted as proposed, the Company
would be required to recognize, in its financial statements, the best estimate of the impact of a
tax position, only if that tax position is probable of being sustained on audit based solely on the
technical merits of the position. The proposed effective date for the interpretation was
originally scheduled for December&nbsp;31, 2005, with a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle to be recorded upon the initial adoption. In January&nbsp;2006, FASB decided to make
forthcoming rules on certain tax positions effective in 2007. FASB also moved to a view that such
recognition should be changed from the tax position being &#147;probable of being sustained on audit
based solely on the technical merits of the position&#148; to a less stringent benchmark of &#147;more
likely than not&#148; that the position would be sustained on audit or final resolution through legal
action of settlement. FASB expects to publish the planned rules on uncertain tax positions in
2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this proposed interpretation will have on its
consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An exposure draft of the proposed amendment to FASB Statement no 132, <I>Employer&#146;s Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans &#150; an amendment of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;87,
88, 106 and 132R</I>, was issued in March&nbsp;2006. This Exposure Draft would amend the FASB Statements
No.&nbsp;87, 88, 106 and 132R. The intent of the Exposure Draft is to require an employer to recognize
as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the actuarial gains and losses and prior
service costs and credits that arise during the period. The comment deadline on this Exposure
Draft is May&nbsp;31, 2006, with a planned effective date for fiscal years ending after December&nbsp;31,
2006. The Company does not believe that the impact of this proposed amendment will have a material
effect on its results of operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An exposure draft of a proposed SFAS, <I>Fair Value Measurements</I>, was issued in June&nbsp;2004. This
exposure draft defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The intent of this standard is to ensure
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and enhanced disclosures regarding the
measurements. FASB expects to issue a final statement by June&nbsp;30, 2006. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact this exposure draft will have on its consolidated financial statements.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As previously reported, on March&nbsp;8, 2005, Retail Ventures announced that it had learned of the
theft of credit card and other purchase information from a portion of DSW customers. On April&nbsp;18,
2005, Retail Ventures issued the findings from its investigation into the theft. The theft covered
transaction information involving approximately 1.4&nbsp;million credit cards and data from transactions
involving approximately 96,000 checks.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">DSW and RVI contacted and continue to cooperate with law enforcement and other authorities with
regard to this matter. DSW is involved in several legal proceedings arising out of this incident,
including four putative class action lawsuits, which seek unspecified monetary damages, credit
monitoring and other relief.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In
connection with this matter, DSW entered into a consent order with
the Federal Trade Commission (&#147;FTC&#148;), which has jurisdiction over consumer protection matters. The FTC published the final order
on March&nbsp;14, 2006, and copies of the complaint and consent order are available from the FTC&#146;s Web
site at <U>http://www.ftc.gov</U> and also from the FTC&#146;s Consumer Response Center, Room&nbsp;130, 600
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. DSW has not admitted any wrongdoing or that the
facts alleged in the FTC&#146;s proposed unfairness complaint are true. Under the consent order, DSW
will pay no fine or damages. DSW has agreed, however, to maintain a comprehensive information
security program and to undergo a biannual assessment of such program by an independent third
party.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">There can be no assurance that there will not be additional proceedings or claims brought against
DSW in the future. We have contested and will continue to vigorously contest the claims made
against us and will continue to explore our defenses and possible claims against others.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We estimate that the potential exposure for losses related to this theft, including exposure under
currently pending proceedings, ranges from approximately $6.5&nbsp;million to approximately $9.5
million. Because of many factors, including the early development of information regarding the
theft and recoverability under insurance policies, there is no amount in the estimated range that
represents a better estimate than any other amount in the range. Therefore, in accordance with
Financial Accounting Standard No.&nbsp;5, <I>Accounting for Contingencies</I>, we accrued a charge to
operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2005 equal to the low end of the range set forth above.
As the situation develops and more information becomes available, the amount of the reserve may
increase or decrease accordingly. The amount of any such change may be material.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although difficult to quantify, since the announcement of the theft, we have not discerned any
material negative effect on sales trends we believe is attributable to the theft. However, this may
not be indicative of the long-term developments regarding this matter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We are involved in various other legal proceedings that are incidental to the conduct of our
business. We estimate the range of liability related to pending litigation where the amount of the
range of loss can be estimated. We recorded our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered
probable. Where a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss, we recorded the
most likely estimated liability related to the claim. In the opinion of management, the amount of
any liability with respect to these proceedings will not be material. As additional
