PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Dayton Hudson 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"), Dayton
Hudson 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 Dayton
Hudson 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 Trust's fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. 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.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

In September 1995, the Trust issued $400,000,000 of three year 6.10% Class
A Certificates to the public (the "Series 1995 Certificates"). 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
three year 6.25% Class A Certificates to the public (the "Series 1997
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 1995
Certificates or the Series 1997 Certificates. The Series 1995 Certificates
and the Series 1997 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
1995 Certificates and the Series 1997 Certificates are held by Cede & Co.,
the nominee of DTC.

The undivided interests in the Trust, other than those represented by the
Series 1995 Certificates, the Series 1996 Certificates and the Series 1997
Certificates, are owned by the Transferor and the Servicer.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT.

Not applicable.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Not applicable.

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 Dayton Hudson Corporation. The principal executive
office of Dayton Hudson Corporation is 777 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis,
MN 55402.

At the date hereof, 100% of the Series 1995 Certificates and the
Series 1997 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 1995 Certificates or the
Series 1997 Certificates, no person beneficially owned more than 5% of
the Series 1995 Certificates or the Series 1997 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 1995 Certificates, the Series 1996 Certificates or the
Series 1997 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
December 31, 1997, or any currently proposed transaction or series of
similar transactions, in which the


4


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.
