Electronics
Today, a trip to Wal-Mart can consist of a basket fi lled with diapers,
salsa, and electronic products with the latest technology. Flat panel
televisions (plasma and liquid crystal display or LCD) are our fastest
growing TV segment in both our U.S. SAM’S CLUBs and Wal-Mart
stores. You can fi nd fl at panel televisions in our stores worldwide,
as well as online at www.walmart.com and www.samsclub.com. Did
you know that in the U.S. retail channel, we are the fi rst to make
available RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substance) compliant
products? This refl ects our commitment to our customers who want
to protect and sustain the environment, and buy products at every
day low prices. By July 2006, we expect all personal computers sold
at U.S. Wal-Mart stores will meet the RoHS standard.
In October 2005, Wal-Mart debuted its exclusive Metro 7™ collection –
a distinct line of women’s apparel designed specifi cally for the fashion-
savvy customer. The Metro 7™ line appeals to a more urban customer
and features styles that are both feminine and contemporary. All items
are designed with high-quality fabrics, and are versatile enough to allow
women to dress fashionably around the clock – at the affordable prices
customers expect from Wal-Mart. The line recently expanded to acces-
sories, including belts, handbags, shoes and jewelry. The collection is
available in misses and plus sizes in select Wal-Mart stores and online
at www.walmart.com.

Today’s consumers want healthier and more responsible food
choices. That’s why we are doubling the organic product and
socially responsible offerings in select U.S. Wal-Mart stores.
SAM’S CLUB also is expanding its array of organic and socially
responsible products by more than 100 new items, such as
Brazilian Marques de Paiva USDA organic coffee.
