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, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2003.

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 August 22, 2001. 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 3 through August 5, 2002 (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 the sample of periods in 2002 through August 3, 2002.



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 49 proprietary credit card receivables as of August 3, 2002. Two responses noting differences were appropriately resolved by Ernst & Young through verification to the credit system. Additionally, we confirmed a sample of 22 Target Visa credit card receivables as of August 3, 2002. Two responses noting differences were appropriately resolved by Ernst & Young through verification to the credit system.



4.

We selected a sample of 25 accounts which had an amount shown as finance charges as of a billing cycle prior to August 31, 2002. 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 setup 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 (i.e., 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, 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 its 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.
