EXHIBIT 99 THE LIMITED, INC. ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR GIFT CERTIFICATES, STORE CREDITS AND LAYAWAY SALES Columbus, Ohio (February 16, 2000) -- The Limited, Inc. (NYSE/LSE: LTD) today announced a change in accounting for gift certificates, store credits and layaway sales. The Company, which has not been contacted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), chose to address this matter after the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." This change in accounting impacts the timing of recognizing income from gift certificates, store credits and layaway sales, but does not impact the Company's reported cash flows, net sales or comparable store sales. Additionally, there is no impact to customers holding unredeemed gift certificates or store credits, nor to customers who currently have merchandise on layaway. The Company had historically recognized net receipts/(redemptions) from gift certificates and store credits as a reduction/(increase) to general, administrative and store operating expenses. Layaway sales were recognized upon receipt of the initial payment. The Company now defers the recognition of income on these transactions until the merchandise is delivered to the customer. The Company will give retroactive effect to this accounting change by restating its previously issued financial statements as of January 30, 1999 and January 31, 1998, and for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 30, 1999. An amended 1998 Form 10-K containing these financial statements will be filed as soon as practicable. The Company expects that the change in accounting will reduce reported earnings per share for each of the fiscal years 1997 through 1999 by $.03-$.04 per share per year. The Company's actual fourth quarter and fiscal 1999 earnings will be reported on February 22, 2000 and will reflect this accounting change. The Limited, Inc., through Express, Lerner New York, Lane Bryant, Limited Stores, Structure and Henri Bendel, presently operates 2,913 specialty stores. The Company also owns approximately 84% of Intimate Brands, Inc. (NYSE:IBI), the leading specialty retailer of intimate apparel, beauty and personal care products through the Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and White Barn Candle Co. brands. SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: All forward-looking statements made by the Company involve material risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors which may be beyond the Company's control. Accordingly, the Company's future performance and financial results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to; those described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized. ### For further information, please contact: Tom Katzenmeyer Vice President Investor Relations The Limited, Inc. 614-415-7076 www.limited.com ---------------

EXHIBIT 99.2 THE LIMITED, INC. ADJUSTED CONDENSED INCOME INFORMATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Adjusted Condensed Income Information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company's results of operations had the transactions and events described below been consummated on the dates assumed and do not project the Company's results of operations for any future date or period. The unaudited Adjusted Condensed Income Information of The Limited, Inc. includes historical unaudited income statements for the following periods: . The first three quarters of the year ended January 29, 2000; . The four quarters of the year ended January 30, 1999; and . The full year ended January 31, 1998. The unaudited Adjusted Condensed Income Information gives effect to the following transactions and events: . The Company's restatement of its previously issued financial statements as a result of a change in accounting for gift certificates, store credits and layaway sales, as announced by the Company on February 16, 2000; . The spin-off of Limited Too (TOO) on August 23, 1999; . The split-off of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) on May 19, 1998; and . Special and nonrecurring items (SNRI). Management believes the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis on which to present the unaudited Adjusted Condensed Income Information. Although the following information is not intended to be presented in accordance with SEC guidelines for pro forma financial information, it is provided to assist in investors' understanding of the Company's results of operations. The unaudited Adjusted Condensed Income Information should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual report of Form 10-K and any amendments thereto. Columnar Descriptions Restatement Adjustments This column represents adjustments made to the historical unaudited quarterly and full year financial statements as a result of a change in accounting for gift certificates, store credits and layaway sales, as announced by the Company on February 16, 2000. The change was made after the issuance of the recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin, No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." The Company had historically recognized net receipts/(redemptions) from gift certificates and store credits as a reduction/(increase) to general, administrative and store operating expenses. Layaway sales were recognized upon receipt of the initial payment. The Company now defers the recognition of income on these transactions until the merchandise is delivered to the customer. The Company has given retroactive effect to this accounting change by restating its previously issued financial statements. The minority interest adjustment relates to the impact of the restatement on the net income of Intimate Brands, Inc., the Company's 84%-owned subsidiary. In addition, the Company reclassified certain distribution costs related to Bath and Body Works from general, administrative and store operating expenses to buying and occupancy expense, consistent with the Company's other businesses. The reclassification has no net impact on operating income.
THE LIMITED, INC. ADJUSTED CONDENSED INCOME INFORMATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION TOO, ANF and SNRI Adjustments This column represents adjustments made to the historical unaudited quarterly and full year financial statements for TOO, ANF, and special and nonrecurring items. a. TOO results have been adjusted out of the historical unaudited quarterly and full year financial statements for all periods presented because TOO has not been consolidated in The Limited's financial statements subsequent to the August 23, 1999 spin-off. b. ANF results have been adjusted out of the historical unaudited quarterly and full year financial statements for all periods presented because ANF has not been consolidated in The Limited's financial statements subsequent to the May 19, 1998 split-off. Minority interest was adjusted for the minority interest in earnings of ANF for the periods presented. c. Special and nonrecurring items (including gains on sales of subsidiary stock) have been excluded for all periods presented. d. The assumed effective tax rate of the aforementioned adjustments, excluding the minority interest adjustment, is 40%. Additionally, the Company's $11 million pretax gain on the sale of a 60% interest in Galyan's Trading Co. in the third quarter of 1999 resulted in a $6 million provision for taxes, and the new tax basis of the Company's continuing Galyan's investment resulted in an additional $7 million provision for taxes. The minority interest adjustment is net of tax, consistent with the presentation of minority interest in the historical consolidated financial statements. e. The diluted net income per share is based upon the adjusted weighted average number of outstanding common shares and potentially issuable common shares of The Limited after the Exchange Offer at the exchange ratio of .86 of a share of ANF Common Stock for each share of Limited Common Stock. At the exchange ratio, 47.1 million shares of Limited Common Stock were acquired as treasury shares for the purpose of calculating diluted net income per share.
