PART I

Item 1. Business.

    Target Credit Card Master Trust (the "Trust") was formed pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of September 13, 1995 (as amended, modified or supplemented, the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), by and among Retailers National Bank, as servicer ("Servicer"), Target Receivables Corporation, as transferor ("Transferor"), and Norwest Bank Minnesota, National Association, as trustee ("Trustee"). The Trust's only business is to act as a passive conduit to permit investments in a pool of Transferor's consumer accounts receivable. The Transferor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation that is wholly-owned by Target Corporation.


Item 2. Properties.

    The assets of the Trust (the "Trust Assets") include a portfolio of receivables (the "Receivables") generated from time to time in a portfolio of consumer open-end credit card accounts (the "Accounts"), funds collected or to be collected in respect of the Receivables, monies on deposit in certain accounts of the Trust, any participation interests included in the Trust, funds collected or to be collected with respect to such participation interests and any enhancement with respect to a particular series or class. The Trust Assets are expected to change over the life of the Trust as receivables in consumer open-end credit card accounts and other open-end credit accounts and related assets are included in the Trust and as Receivables in Accounts included in the Trust are charged-off or removed.

    Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Report set forth certain information relating to the Transferor's fiscal year ended January 1, 2001. Such information, which was derived from the monthly settlement statements relating to such period as delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

    None.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    None.


PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

    In August 1996, the Trust issued Series 1996-1 Class A Variable Funding Certificates in a private transaction (the "Series 1996 Certificates"). The principal amount of the Series 1996 Certificates fluctuates and currently may not exceed $100 million. In October 1997, the Trust issued $400,000,000 of five year 6.25% Class A Certificates to the public (the "Series 1997 Certificates"). In August 1998, the Trust issued $400,000,000 of five year 5.90% Class A Certificates to the public (the "Series 1998 Certificates").

    Although they trade in the over-the-counter market to a limited extent, there is currently no established public trading market for the Series 1997 Certificates or the Series 1998 Certificates. The Series 1997 Certificates and the Series 1998 Certificates are held and delivered in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The definitive Series 1997 Certificates and the Series 1998 Certificates are held by Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC.

    The undivided interests in the Trust, other than those represented by the Series 1996 Certificates, the Series 1997 Certificates and the Series 1998 Certificates, are owned by the Transferor and the Servicer.



Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

    Not applicable.


Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

    Not applicable.


Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

    a.
    Security ownership of certain beneficial owners.

      The Transferor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation that is wholly-owned by Target Corporation. The principal executive office of Target Corporation is 777 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402.

      At the date hereof, 100% of the Series 1997 Certificates and the Series 1998 Certificates were held in the nominee name of Cede & Co. for beneficial owners. To the Transferor's knowledge, based solely on the fact that Transferor has not received notice of any filings having been made with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting the acquisition of more than 5% of the Series 1997 Certificates or the Series 1998 Certificates, no person beneficially owned more than 5% of the Series 1997 Certificates or the Series 1998 Certificates. The Series 1996 Certificates are held by an administrative agent on behalf of several beneficial owners and interests in the Series 1996 Certificates are not freely transferable.

      The undivided interests in the Trust, other than that represented by the Series 1996 Certificates, the Series 1997 Certificates or the Series 1998 Certificates, are owned by the Transferor and the Servicer.

    b.
    Security ownership of management.

      Not applicable.

    c.
    Changes in control.

      Not applicable.


Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

    Except for the information concerning the compensation paid to Servicer by the Trust contained in Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, and other transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Transferor is not aware of


    any transactions or series of similar transactions during its fiscal year ended January 1, 2001, or any currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions, in which the amount involved exceeded or is proposed to exceed $60,000, to which the Trust was a party or is proposed to be a party, and in which any person known to the Registrant to own more than 5% of any class of certificates representing undivided interests in the Trust had or has a direct or indirect material interest.

We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the statements of financial condition of Retailers National Bank (the Bank), as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and have issued our report thereon dated January 24, 2001.

Our audit, referred to in the preceding paragraph, included procedures applied to the documents and records relating to the servicing of credit card receivables under the Amended and Restated Target Credit Card Master Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), dated as of April 28, 2000. Our procedures were as follows:

Documents and records relating to the servicing of credit card receivables under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement:

    1.
    Using an audit software application applied to the servicing portfolio as of August 4, through August 6, 2000 (based on billing cycles), we clerically tested the summarization of credit card receivables by credit card label, by billing cycle, individually, and in total, for a sample of periods in 2000 through August 31, 2000.

    2.
    We documented the process of sales that generate credit card receivables and tested the related controls. Per subsequent inquiry of Target Corporation and Bank management, we were informed that no significant changes occurred in the related systems, controls or process through our report date.

    3.
    We confirmed a sample of 87 credit card receivables as of July 31, 2000. Two responses noting differences were appropriately resolved by Ernst & Young.

    4.
    We selected a sample of 25 accounts which had an amount shown as finance charges as of a billing cycle prior to October 31, 2000. We recalculated the finance charges for the applicable billing cycle by using the beginning balance from the previous cycle, average daily balance, and all transactions occurring in the billing cycle. We compared the recalculated finance charge to the corresponding amounts shown on the customer billing statement and noted no exceptions.

    5.
    We read documentation of the Bank's internal audit procedures related to new account application and set-up processes, portfolio management, fraud, remittance processing, monthly statement processing, account maintenance, collections, and credit card receivables curing. We also examined documentation of the write-off practices to determine compliance with applicable Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

    6.
    We documented the process used by the Bank to prepare the migration analysis to support the allowance for credit losses. We performed clerical tests of the underlying formulas and traced aging information to supporting cycle documentation. We also assessed the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses.

    7.
    We analytically reviewed allowance-related ratios (e.g., allowance as a percentage of total credit card receivables, year-to-date write-offs as a percentage of the allowance, and year-to-date write-offs as a percentage of average loan balances), comparing the ratios for the periods referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter.

The results of the procedures described above provided satisfactory evidential matter for the purposes of our audit of the financial statements, referred to in the introductory paragraph of this letter, taken as a whole. The administration and servicing appear to be conducted in compliance with Article III and Article IV and Section 8.8 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement insofar as such Articles and Section relate to accounting matters.

This report is intended solely for the use of the specified users listed above and should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. However, this report is a matter of public record, as a result of inclusion as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Target Receivables Corporation on behalf of the Trust, and its distribution is not limited.

        Very truly yours,

    and
Target Receivables Corporation,
its Officers and Directors
As Transferor
    and
Retailers National Bank,
its Officers and Directors
As Servicer
    and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
As Trustee

At your request, we have applied certain agreed-upon procedures, described below, agreed to by Target Corporation (the Company), Target Receivables Corporation, as Transferor, and Retailers National Bank, as Servicer, each of their respective Officers and Directors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, to the Monthly Certificateholders' Statements (the Statements), issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Target Credit Card Master Trust (the Trust) Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), dated April 28, 2000, for Series 1997-1 for each of the monthly reporting periods from January 2000 through December 2000. An example of a Statement, prepared by the Company, is provided as Attachment I. The specific procedures performed on each of the Statements are cross-referenced to Attachment I for each item or group of items. Only those items with balances on the Statements were cross-referenced. Our procedures were applied as indicated with respect to the letters explained below:

    A.
    Compared amounts to the Target Credit Card Master Trust Prospectus Supplement, for Series 1997-1 dated October 8, 1997 (the Prospectus Supplement) and found them to be in agreement.

    B.
    Compared the dollar and other amounts not derived directly from the Prospectus to amounts in the Company's accounting records to the extent such amounts could be so compared directly and found them to be in agreement. Examples of those accounting records used are listed below.

    C.
    Compared the dollar and other amounts not derived directly from the Prospectus, or that could not be compared directly to the Company's accounting records, to amounts within the Monthly Certificateholders' Statement and found them to be in agreement.

    D.
    Proved the arithmetic accuracy of the percentages or amounts based on the data in the above-mentioned Prospectus and accounting records. Differences may exist due to rounding of certain amounts or percentages used in the calculation but are not reported for purposes of this letter.

Accounting records for purposes of this letter include the following reports or records: Data Summary Sheet; Breakout of Finance Charge Receivable and Principal Receivable; Finance Charge Receivable Payments as a Percentage of Total Month Payments; Receivable Aging by Dollar Balance; Month End Accounts Receivable Aging Summary Reports; Purified Net Write-Off Reports; Monthly Sales Returns; Credits and Adjustments Reports; Bank Sales Reports; Account Totals by Delinquency Level Reports; Geographic Distribution of Accounts and Receivables Reports; Miscellaneous Payment Instructions Report; and Monthly Collection Account Earnings. All Monthly Reports are generated by management of Target Corporation or Retailers National Bank. Additionally, for all the applicable Target Visa


accounts, all monthly reports are generated by an external vendor, as contracted by Retailers National Bank.

There were no exceptions noted as a result of our procedures performed.

We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on the Monthly Certificateholders' Statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

This report is intended solely for the use of the specified users listed above and should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. However, this report is a matter of public record, as a result of inclusion as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Target Receivables Corporation on behalf of the Trust, and its distribution is not limited.

Report of Independent Accountants

Target Corporation,
its Officers and Directors
    and
Target Receivables Corporation,
its Officers and Directors
As Transferor
    and
Retailers National Bank,
its Officers and Directors
As Servicer
    and
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
As Trustee

At your request, we have applied certain agreed-upon procedures, described below, agreed to by Target Corporation (the Company), Target Receivables Corporation, as Transferor, and Retailers National Bank, as Servicer, each of their respective Officers and Directors, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, to the Monthly Certificateholders' Statements (the Statements), issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated Target Credit Card Master Trust (the Trust) Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), dated April 28, 2000, for Series 1998-1 for each of the monthly reporting periods from January 2000 through December 2000. An example of a Statement, prepared by the Company, is provided as Attachment I. The specific procedures performed on each of the Statements are cross-referenced to Attachment I for each item or group of items. Only those items with balances on the Statements were cross-referenced. Our procedures were applied, as indicated, with respect to the letters explained below:

    A.
    Compared amounts to the Target Credit Card Master Trust Prospectus Supplement, for Series 1998-1 dated August 5, 1998 (the Prospectus Supplement) and found them to be in agreement.

    B.
    Compared the dollar and other amounts not derived directly from the Prospectus to amounts in the Company's accounting records to the extent such amounts could be so compared directly and found them to be in agreement. Examples of those accounting records used are listed below.

    C.
    Compared the dollar and other amounts not derived directly from the Prospectus, or that could not be compared directly to the Company's accounting records, to amounts within the Monthly Certificateholders' Statement and found them to be in agreement.

    D.
    Proved the arithmetic accuracy of the percentages or amounts based on the data in the above-mentioned Prospectus and accounting records. Differences may exist due to rounding of certain amounts or percentages used in the calculation but are not reported for purposes of this letter.

Accounting records for purposes of this letter include the following reports or records: Data Summary Sheet; Breakout of Finance Charge Receivable and Principal Receivable; Finance Charge Receivable Payments as a Percentage of Total Month Payments; Receivable Aging by Dollar Balance; Month End Accounts Receivable Aging Summary Reports; Purified Net Write-Off Reports; Monthly Sales Returns; Credits and Adjustments Reports; Bank Sales Reports; Account Totals by Delinquency Level Reports; Geographic Distribution of Accounts and Receivables Reports; Miscellaneous Payment Instructions Report; and Monthly Collection Account Earnings. All Monthly Reports are generated by management of Target Corporation or Retailers National Bank. Additionally, for the applicable Target Visa accounts, all monthly reports are generated by an external vendor, as contracted by Retailers National Bank.


There were no findings noted as a result of our procedures performed.

We were not engaged to, and did not, perform an audit, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on the Monthly Certificateholders' Statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

This report is intended solely for the use of the specified users listed above and should not be used by those who have not agreed to the procedures and taken responsibility for the sufficiency of the procedures for their purposes. However, this report is a matter of public record, as a result of inclusion as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Target Receivables Corporation on behalf of the Trust, and its distribution is not limited.

        Very truly yours,
