REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Administrative Committee Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing Seattle, Washington We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Plan sponsor's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan sponsor's management. Such supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2005 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Seattle, Washington June 13, 2006 - 1 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands)

The accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements. - 3 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) 1. THE PLAN AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General-The Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing (the "Plan"), as amended, was originally established on January 1, 1953. The Plan is an individual account profit sharing plan, which, since February 1, 1988, has included a 401(k) feature. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The following description is for informational purposes only and does not bind the Plan. All employees in an eligible employment classification of Nordstrom, Inc. and participating subsidiaries (the "Company") are eligible to participate in the Plan. For purposes of eligibility for Company profit sharing and matching contributions, participation begins on the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or following the one-year anniversary from the employee's original hire date. For purposes of eligibility to make elective salary deferrals (401(k) contributions), participation begins on the first of the month coinciding with or following three full months of employment. The Plan also contains special eligibility provisions to ensure that all employees enter the Plan by the latest participation date required under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees who do not elect a different salary deferral contribution are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning on the first of the month coinciding with or following the first anniversary of the employee's employment commencement date with a salary deferral contribution equal to 2% of compensation. Employees have the option to elect a zero percent salary deferral or to change their salary deferral percentage in accordance with the Plan. For the Plan year ended December 31, 2005, to qualify for Company profit sharing and matching contributions, participants must work at least 1,000 hours during the payroll calendar year and be employed on the last day of the Plan Year (the "last day" requirement is waived if the participant terminates employment due to retirement, disability or death). Effective January 1, 2005, the Plan was amended as follows: - - to reflect an employee's ability to irrevocably waive eligibility to participate in the Plan; - - to clarify the Plan's administration of insurance contracts held for investment in participant accounts; - - to reduce the threshold amount for involuntary distribution of a participant's account from $5 to $1 for distributions on and after March 28, 2005; and - - to increase the period of non-payment after which a participant loan will be deemed in default from 80 days to 90 days. Effective January 1, 2004, the Plan was amended as follows: - - to establish uniform eligibility criteria for Company profit sharing and matching contributions; - 4 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) - - to change the automatic enrollment date for elective salary deferrals from the first of the month after three months of employment to the first of the month after the first anniversary of the employee's employment commencement date; - - to increase the maximum elective salary deferral percentage for non-highly compensated employees to 50% from 15% of eligible Plan compensation; and - - to change the timing and availability rules for in-service distributions and hardship withdrawals. Along with these design changes, effective January 1, 2004, the Plan's name was formally changed to the Nordstrom 401(k) Plan & Profit Sharing. The Plan was previously known as the Nordstrom Profit Sharing and 401(k) Retirement Plan. Plan Contributions- Profit Sharing Contributions-The Company's Board of Directors establishes the Company profit sharing contribution, if any, each year. The Board of Directors has complete discretion in determining the amount of the profit sharing contribution. Profit sharing contributions are invested in participant-directed investments or defaulted into the Nordstrom Select Moderate Fund (the General Balanced Fund in 2004). The Company's contribution for each Plan year is allocated based on a weighting of years of service and eligible compensation among the actively employed participants who qualify for a profit sharing contribution. For Plan purposes, eligible compensation generally includes salary and wages paid for employee service, including bonuses and commissions and excludes reimbursements and expense allowances, employee awards, fringe and welfare benefits, moving expenses, severance and disability pay, contributions to a nonqualified deferred compensation program and amounts received as stock or under any stock-based compensation program, and is capped by limits set under the Internal Revenue Code ($210 for the Plan Year ended December 31, 2005); participants should refer to the Plan document for specific details. Employee 401(k) Contributions-Non-Highly Compensated Employees (NHCEs) may elect to defer 1% to 50% of eligible compensation on a pretax basis. The maximum elective salary deferral percentage for Highly Compensated Employees (HCEs) is 15%. Employees age 50 and over are allowed a catch-up contribution on a pre-tax basis. For all employees, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) limits participant contributions to a maximum of $14 in 2005. Company Matching Contributions-The Company's matching contribution consists of a match of 100% of eligible participants' elective contributions up to 4% of the participants' eligible compensation. Investment Programs-Participants are able to direct their accounts (including Company matching contributions) within any of the available funds, which are listed in the accompanying Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes. Participation in Investment Activity-Individual accounts are credited daily with a pro rata share of investment income (loss) experienced by the respective Plan funds into which their account balances have been directed. - 5 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) Vesting in the Plan- Employees who terminate employment due to retirement, death, or disability are 100% vested in their Plan accounts, regardless of years of service. For purposes of the Plan, "retirement" is defined as ending employment at age 60 or older. On termination of employment for reasons other than retirement, disability, or death, the amounts credited to the accounts of participants are vested as follows: Company Profit Sharing Contributions-Participants are 100% vested in Company profit sharing contributions attributable to years of service on and after January 1, 2000. For contributions received prior to January 1, 2000, participants are vested 20% after completing three years of service and will be credited with an additional 20% vesting for each additional year of service (1,000 hours of service in a payroll calendar year) until 100% vested at seven years. Employee Contributions-Employee contributions (i.e., salary deferral, catch-up and rollover contributions) are always 100% vested. Company Matching Contributions-Company matching contributions for employees hired prior to January 1, 2000, are 100% vested. Company matching contributions for employees whose first hour of service with the Company occurred on or after January 1, 2000 vest as follows: 33% after completing one year of service and 67% after two years of years of service. After three years of service, all Company matching contributions are 100% vested. Forfeitures-Forfeitures are used to offset future Company matching contributions and, to the extent any forfeitures remain, to offset future Company profit sharing contributions. During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, employer contributions were offset by forfeitures of $1,436, and $2,357, respectively. Benefits-On termination of service, a participant (or participant's beneficiary in the case of death) may elect to receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution or, if the vested account balance excluding the rollover account exceeds $1, elect to remain in the plan. When an active participant reaches age 59 1/2 and continues to work for the Company, the participant is eligible to receive a partial or full distribution of his or her retirement benefits. Payment of Benefits-Benefits are recorded when paid. Participant Loans-Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms are a maximum of 60 months or up to 20 years for the purchase of the principal residence of a participant. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear fixed interest at rates commensurate with prevailing rates but not less than 1% over the then current prime rate as published by the Wall Street Journal. Interest rates for participant loans outstanding at December 31, 2005 range from 5.0% to 10.5% and are determined at the time the loan is approved. Principal and interest are paid semi-monthly through payroll deductions. Participants may pay monthly upon termination or leave of absence. Payment obligations are suspended for participants during periods of qualified military service. No more than two loans may be outstanding at any one time. - 6 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) Trustees and Administrator of the Plan-The asset trustees of the Plan are Mercer Trust Company (all assets except the Nordstrom Select Funds) and Mellon Bank, N.A. (Mellon) (Nordstrom Select Funds only). Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (Wells Fargo), served as the Trustee and Custodian for the Plan's General Balanced Fund through March 31, 2005, at which time the Plan transitioned those services to Mellon. Coinciding with the transition of trustee services to Mellon, the name of the General Balanced Fund was changed to the Nordstrom Select Moderate Fund. Additionally, two new funds called the Nordstrom Select Conservative Fund and Nordstrom Select Growth Fund, were created. These funds invest in the same underlying assets as the Select Moderate Fund, but have different allocations to create varying risk/return profiles. Beginning on April 1, 2005, Mellon serves as the Trustee and Custodian for the Nordstrom Select Funds.
The Plan is administered by the Company in conjunction with the Retirement Committee, a committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors comprised of the following individuals as of December 31, 2005: - - Mary D. Amundson Divisional Vice President of Employee Benefits - - D. Wayne Gittinger Former Director of the Company and Partner, Lane Powell PC (a law firm) - - Michael G. Koppel Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer - - Llynn (Len) A. Kuntz Executive Vice President, Northwest Regional Manager, Full-Line Stores - - Bruce A. Nordstrom Chairman of the Board of Directors - - Delena M. Sunday Executive Vice President, Human Resources and Diversity Affairs
Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company provided administrative services to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2004 and through March 31, 2005. In 2005, Putnam's recordkeeping business was spun off to create Mercer Human Resource Consulting, LLC. Under that company, Mercer Human Resource Services provided administrative services and Mercer Trust Company served as asset trustee to the Plan (for all assets except the Nordstrom Select Funds) for the year ended December 31, 2005. Termination of the Plan-The Company reserves the right to suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan at any time. The Company may determine whether a suspension or discontinuance will or will not constitute termination of the Plan. In the event the Plan is terminated, the respective accounts of the participants under the Plan shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable. After payment of expenses properly chargeable against the Plan, the trustees shall distribute all Plan assets to the participants in the proportions determined by their respective accounts. Tax Status-The IRS has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated October 4, 2004, that the Plan is designed in conformity with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. - 7 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) In a prior year, the Company identified some minor administrative issues with respect to the Plan and has worked to correct such issues through one of the IRS's voluntary correction programs. The IRS accepted the Company's proposed correction in August of 2004. The IRS approved corrections were completed in January of 2005 and the issue is now resolved. Basis of Accounting-The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Other Assets-Prior to 1993, after five years in the Plan, participants were allowed to purchase life insurance with up to 25% of their annual contributions. This option was terminated in May 1992; however, the Plan still holds previously purchased life insurance for participants. This amount represents the cash surrender value of the New England Life Insurance policy. Investment Income-Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade- date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net unrealized and realized investment gains and losses are calculated based upon the fair value at the beginning of the year of investments held at that date and the cost of investments purchased during the year. Benefits Payable-Benefits payable to participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $162 and $566, respectively. 2. INVESTMENTS The Plan's investments are held by the trustees and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices at December 31, 2005 and 2004, except for the Putnam Stable Value Fund, which is a fully benefit responsive guaranteed investment contract fund and is recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value. The following table presents the value of investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets recorded at December 31:
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Investments at fair value: Nordstrom Select Moderate Fund $428,711 * General Balanced Fund * $418,901 Nordstrom, Inc. common stock 222,041 135,777 EuroPacific Growth Fund 143,031 112,167 George Putnam Fund of Boston 117,866 110,676 Dodge & Cox Stock Fund 92,349 ** Putnam Fund for Growth and Income ** 84,635 Bank of New York Small Cap Growth *** 77,644 Investment at contract value: Putnam Stable Value Fund 95,797 90,390
- 8 - NORDSTROM 401(k) PLAN & PROFIT SHARING NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004 (dollar amounts in thousands) * Coinciding with the transition of trustee services to Mellon on April 1, 2005, the name of the General Balanced Fund was changed to the Nordstrom Select Moderate Fund. ** Fund was not part of the Plan's investment portfolio. *** Fund balance does not exceed 5% of Plan net assets. During 2005 and 2004, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated/(depreciated) in value as follows:
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Investments Common stock $ 82,853 $ 36,741 Mutual funds/Proprietary plan fund 59,269 71,373 Common/collective trust 89 4,371 Brokerage assets (244) 578 ---------- ---------- $141,967 $113,063 ========== ==========
The Putnam Stable Value Fund is a fully benefit responsive, guaranteed investment contract fund. The contract is included in these financial statements at contract value, which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by Mercer Trust Company. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The average yield was approximately 4.7% for 2005 and 4.5% for 2004. The weighted average crediting interest rate was approximately 4.7% at December 31, 2005 and 4.5% at December 31, 2004. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Wells Fargo Bank was trustee of the Plan's General Balanced Fund through March 31, 2005. Mellon Bank, N.A. has been trustee of the Nordstrom Select Funds since April 1, 2005. Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company was trustee of all assets of the Plan other than the General Balanced Trust Fund from January 2004 to December 2004. Effective January 1, 2005, Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company changed its name to Mercer Trust Company and has been trustee of all assets of the Plan other than the Nordstrom Select Funds since that date. Accordingly, Mercer Trust Company, Wells Fargo Bank, and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company are each a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Plan has invested in investment funds managed by Wells Fargo Bank and by affiliates of Mercer Trust Company and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company during 2005 and 2004. Transactions in these investments qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions because an independent fiduciary causes the Plan to make these investment decisions. Fees paid by the Plan to Wells Fargo Bank, Mellon Bank, Mercer Trust Company, and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company amounted to $166, $102, $591, and $204, respectively, for 2005. Fees paid by the Plan to Wells Fargo Bank and Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company amounted to $253 and $732, respectively, for 2004. As the Plan sponsor, the Company is a party-in-interest with respect to the Plan. The Company's employer contributions to the plan qualify as party-in- interest transactions. These transactions are exempt party-in-interest transactions because a fiduciary does not cause the Plan to participate in the transactions. In addition, miscellaneous reimbursement of direct expenses paid by the Plan - 9 - to the Company for Plan operations and administration amounted to $26 and $72 for 2005 and 2004, respectively. 4. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS PAYABLE TO PARTICIPANTS The Plan is subject to certain compliance requirements of non-discrimination rules under ERISA and IRS guidelines. For the Plan year ended December 31, 2005, the Plan failed certain of these non-discrimination tests due to lower levels of contribution participation by non-highly compensated eligible Plan participants. In order to meet the compliance requirements, in March 2006, the Plan refunded a portion of the 2005 contributions made by highly compensated participants. The refund totaled $761 and is recorded as "Excess contributions payable to participants" in the December 31, 2005 Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. The refund is included in "Benefit payments to participants" on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. The refund amount includes approximately $117 of investment earnings. 5. RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500 The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the amounts reflected in the Form 5500 as filed by the Company with the Employee Benefits Security Administration as of December 31:
2005 2004 ---------- ---------- Net assets available for benefits per the financial statements $1,529,151 $1,325,280 Trustee and administrative fees payable 463 602 Certain deemed distributions of participant loans - (595) ---------- ---------- Net assets available for benefits per Form 5500 $1,529,614 $1,325,287 ========== ==========
