Federated Department Stores Inc., parent of Bloomingdale`s and other retailers, reported a net loss of $15.8 million, or 14 cents a share, for the second quarter, largely because of a $13.6 million write-off of accrued financing fees. For the first half of 1992, the company reported a net loss of $17.6 million, or 18 cents a share.
Federated emerged from bankruptcy protection earlier this year and consistently has reported that month-to-month results were substantially ahead of projections. The Cincinnati-based company said sales at stores open more than a year increased by 1.7 percent from the same period a year earlier.
