(1) Effective May 1, 2010, we implemented a new financial system for our operations in the United States, Canada and
Puerto Rico. Concurrently with that implementation and the increased system capabilities, we changed the level at which
we apply the retail method of accounting for inventory in those operations from 13 divisions to 49 departments. We
believe the change is preferable because applying the retail method of accounting for inventory at the departmental level
better segregates merchandise with similar cost-to-retail ratios and turnover and provides a more accurate cost of goods
sold and ending inventory value at the lower of cost or market for each reporting period. We have retrospectively applied
that change in our inventory accounting, and the selected financial data as of and for the years ended January 31, 2010,
2009, 2008 and 2007 shown above reflect the retrospective application of that accounting change. The retrospective
application of the accounting change for years ended prior to January 31, 2011 for which data are shown above resulted
in certain adjustments to our cost of sales, income from continuing operations and consolidated net income attributable to
Walmart and certain other items for such periods, as well as to the balances for our inventories, total assets of continuing
operations and current liabilities of continuing operations and certain other items at the end of such periods. None of
those adjustments, individually or cumulatively, are material to our financial condition at any date or our results of
operations for any period.

In connection with our finance transformation project, we reviewed and adjusted the classification of certain revenue and
expense items within our consolidated statements of income for financial reporting purposes. The reclassifications impacted
net sales, gross margin and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses, but did not impact our operating income or
our income from continuing operations attributable to Walmart. The changes were effective February 1, 2009, and have been
reflected in the selected financial data as of and for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 set forth above.
The selected financial data for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 appearing above have been restated to reflect the impact of
Gazeley Limited, a former commercial property development subsidiary of ASDA Group Limited which was sold in July
2008, and the closure of approximately 23 stores and divestiture of other properties of Walmart Japan in its restructuring
program initiated in the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, as discontinued operations. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, for information
relating to the sale of Gazeley Limited and the restructuring program for Walmart Japan, as well as the related accounting
presentations for these discontinued operations.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table sets forth the ratio of our earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated, which are calculated as
described in the accompanying prospectus under "Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges." The ratios of earnings to fixed charges
for the years ended on or prior to January 31, 2010 in the following table have been adjusted to reflect the retrospective
application of the change in our inventory accounting discussed above under "Selected Financial Data." The following table

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following description of the terms and conditions of the notes supplements the description of the more general terms
and conditions of Walmart's debt securities contained in the accompanying prospectus.
The notes of each series will be issued under and pursuant to the indenture dated as of July 19, 2005, as supplemented,
between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The 2014 notes, the 2016 notes, the 2021
notes and the 2041 notes are each a separate series of notes under the indenture. The notes of each series will be issued in
registered book-entry form without interest coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The notes of each series will constitute our senior unsecured debt obligations and will rank equally among themselves
and with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured debt.
The 2014 notes will mature on April 15, 2014; the 2016 notes will mature on April 15, 2016; the 2021 notes will mature
on April 15, 2021; and the 2041 notes will mature on April 15, 2041. Unless previously purchased and cancelled, we will
repay the notes of each series at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at their
maturity. We will pay principal of and interest on the notes in U.S. dollars.
The 2014 notes will be initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000; the 2016 notes will be
initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000; the 2021 notes will be initially issued in an aggregate
principal amount of $1,000,000,000; and the 2041 notes will be initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$2,000,000,000. We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes of a series, create and issue additional notes of that
series ranking equally with and otherwise similar in all respects to the notes of that series (except for the public offering price
and the issue date) so that those additional notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the other outstanding notes
of that series that we are offering hereby. No additional notes of a series may be issued if an event of default under the
indenture has occurred and is continuing.
The notes of each series will bear interest from April 18, 2011 at the annual interest rate specified for notes of that series
on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. Interest on each note will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and
October 15 of each year during the term of such note, beginning on October 15, 2011. Interest on each note will be payable to
the person in whose name the note is registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding April 1 or October 1, as
the case may be. Interest on the notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
We will not pay to beneficial owners of notes of a series who are non-U.S. persons any additional amounts in the event of
deduction or withholding of taxes, assessments or other governmental charges imposed by the United States or any taxing
authority thereof or therein. The provisions set forth under "Description of the Debt Securities--Payment of Additional
Amounts" in the accompanying prospectus thus will not apply to the 2014 notes, the 2016 notes, the 2021 notes or the 2041
notes.
None of the 2014 notes, the 2016 notes, the 2021 notes and the 2041 notes will be subject to a sinking fund or will be
convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities. The notes of each series will not be redeemable prior to maturity.
The notes of each series will be subject to defeasance as described in the accompanying prospectus.
If any interest payment date for the notes of a series would otherwise be a day that is not a business day, then the interest
payment date for notes of that series will be postponed to the following date that is a business day. Interest will not accrue as a
result of any such postponed payment. The term "business day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is
neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or regulation to
close in New York, New York.

Notices to holders of the notes of a series will be mailed to such holders. Any notice shall be deemed to have been given
on the date of mailing. So long as the notes of a series are in book-entry form and registered in the name of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee, any notices required to be given to the holders of those notes will be given to DTC.
You will not receive notices regarding the notes directly from us unless we reissue the notes to you in fully certificated form.
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee under the indenture governing the notes (as successor-
in-interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association). The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is a
national banking association organized under and governed by the laws of the United States of America and provides trust
services and acts as indenture trustee for numerous corporate securities issuances, including for other series of debt securities
of which we are the issuer. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. will also be the registrar, paying agent and
transfer agent for the notes.
The notes will be, and the indenture is, governed by the laws of the State of New York.
The notes will not be listed for trading on any securities exchange. Currently, no public market exists for the notes of any
series, and no assurance can be given that one will develop.
Same-Day Settlement and Payment
We will make all payments of principal and interest on the notes to DTC in immediately available funds. The notes of
each series will trade in the same-day funds settlement system in the United States until maturity. Purchases of notes in
secondary market trading must be in immediately available funds. Secondary market trading in the notes between participants
in Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") will occur in
accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear and will be settled using the

BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE
The notes of each series will be represented by one or more global securities that will be deposited with and registered in
the name of DTC or its nominee. We will not issue certificated securities to you for any of the notes you purchase, except in
the limited circumstances described under "Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus. Each global security will
be issued to DTC, which will keep a computerized record of its participants whose clients have purchased and beneficially
own notes of a particular series. Each participant will then keep a record of its clients who have purchased and beneficially
own notes of a particular series. Unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for a certificated security, a global security may not
be transferred. DTC, its nominees and their successors may, however, transfer a global security as a whole to one another, and
any such transfers are required to be recorded on our records or a register to be maintained by the trustee.
Additional information concerning book-entry procedures, as well as DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear, is set forth under
"Book-Entry Issuance" in the accompanying prospectus.
