 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                                           and Subsidiaries


 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
 conjunction with the financial statement disclosures contained in the
 Corporation's 1994 Annual Shareholders' Report throughout pages 21-32.  As
 explained on page 31 of the Annual Report, the same accounting policies are
 followed in preparing quarterly financial data as are followed in preparing
 annual data.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
 fair presentation of quarterly operating results are reflected herein and are
 of a normal, recurring nature.

 Due to the seasonal nature of the retail industry, earnings for periods which
 exclude the Christmas season are not indicative of the operating results that
 may be expected for the full fiscal year.

 PER SHARE DATA

 Primary earnings per share equal net earnings, less dividend requirements on
 ESOP preferred stock, divided by the average number of common shares and common
 share equivalents outstanding during the period.

 Fully diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of the ESOP preferred stock
 into common stock, unless the conversion is not dilutive.  Net earnings are
 adjusted for the additional expense required to fund the ESOP debt service
 which results from the assumed replacement of the ESOP preferred dividends with
 common stock dividends, unless the assumed conversion is not dilutive.  For the
 three- and six-months ended July 29, 1995, fully diluted average common shares
 outstanding and fully diluted net earnings exclude the assumed conversion of
 ESOP preferred stock as it was not dilutive.

 Earnings per share are calculated independently for each of the periods
 presented and therefore the sum of the quarters may not equal the year-to-date
 or twelve-month amounts.

 References to earnings per share relate to fully diluted earnings per share.

 SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Corporation entered into an
 accounts receivable securitization transaction. In this transaction, Dayton
 Hudson Receivables Corporation, a subsidiary, will sell to the public $400
 million of fixed-rate certificates backed by the Corporation's credit card
 receivables. This issue of asset backed certificates will have a maturity of
 three years and a certificate rate of 6.10 percent. Proceeds from the sale of
 the certificates will be used to repay outstanding debt, to fund internal
 credit expansion and for general corporate purposes.

                     OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              SECOND QUARTER 1995


 ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

 Second quarter net earnings were $28 million, compared with $49 million for
 second quarter last year.  For the first half of 1995, net earnings decreased
 56% to $39 million from $88 million for the same period a year ago.  Earnings
 per share for the second quarter were $.32, compared with $.61 per share last
 year.  For the six-month period ended July 29, 1995, earnings per share were
 $.41 compared with $1.07 for the same period last year.

 The following table illustrates the impact of the major factors contributing to
 the changes in earnings per share:

    =======================================================
 </TABLE>

 Our second quarter and six-month earnings shortfalls were primarily due to
 weak sales and earnings performance at Mervyn's.  In addition, the Department
 Store Division's (DSD) earnings declined.  Target continued to report solid
 results.

 The revenue increases reflect the continued strong sales volume growth at
 Target, as well as increased finance charge and late fee revenues at all three
 operating divisions.  The overall gross margin rate was unfavorable to last
 year, reflecting increased promotional markdowns at both Mervyn's and DSD.
 The overall operating expense rate for the second quarter increased slightly
 compared with last year as a result of lower sales leveraging at Mervyn's and
 higher buying and occupancy costs at all three operating divisions combined
 with higher store payroll costs at Target partially offset by the positive
 effect of the business mix.   The operating expense rate for the six-month
 period was higher due to lack of sales leverage at Mervyn's and increased
 buying and occupancy costs at all three operating divisions.

 Due to strong growth at Target, our lowest margin and expense rate division,
 the Corporation's overall revenue growth and operating expense rate were
 favorably affected, while the gross margin rate was unfavorably affected.

  For the three- and six-month periods ended July 29, 1995, total revenues
  increased 9% and 8%, respectively.  Comparable-store revenues (revenues from
  stores open longer than a year) increased 3% and 2%, respectively.

</TABLE>

  Target's strong revenue growth reflects new store growth combined with a 6%
  improvement in base business revenues.  While Mervyn's total and comparable-
  store revenues declined in the second quarter and six-month period, we are
  optimistic that the repositioning efforts will result in steadily improving
  performance beginning with the third quarter.  DSD's total and comparable-
  store revenues showed a modest improvement due to an increase in promotional
  efforts.

  Operating Profit
  ----------------

  Overall operating profit declined 15% and 21% for the quarter and six-month
  period, respectively, primarily the result of weak sales and earnings at
  Mervyn's and lower earnings at DSD.  (Operating profit is LIFO earnings from
  operations before corporate expense, interest and income taxes.)

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  TARGET reported a moderate improvement in operating profit for the three- and
  six-month periods compared with the same periods last year. The second quarter
  earnings growth was driven by strong revenue increases and lower charges for
  store closings and relocations. Excluding the effect of these charges,
  Target's operating profit was even with last year's exceptionally strong
  second quarter. The gross margin rate declined slightly in the second quarter
  due to slightly lower markup. Target's gross margin rate for the first half of
  1995 was approximately equal to last year. Target's operating expense rate
  increased for the second quarter and six-month period principally due to
  higher store expenses associated with wage rate increases as well as enhanced
  guest services, partially offset in the second quarter by lower store closing
  and relocation expenses.

  MERVYN'S operating profit was essentially zero for the second quarter and six-
  month period.  The gross margin rate deteriorated in both periods, reflecting
  a significant increase in promotional markdowns.  The operating expense rates
  increased reflecting lower sales leveraging.  In addition, for the six-month
  period the operating expense rate reflects increased marketing expenses.
  Looking forward, the promotional markdown rate for the fall season is expected
  to stabilize at second quarter 1995's level, but increase compared to the
  prior year, with the continuing implementation of Mervyn's promotional
  strategy.  This increase is expected to be offset by higher markup and lower
  clearance markdowns. Mervyn's long-term objective is to balance its profit
  formula by restoring the gross margin rate to recent historical levels and by
  improving the operating expense rate leveraging through improved sales
  performance.

  The key components of Mervyn's new strategy, which will be fully implemented
  during the third quarter, include an increased emphasis on national brands, a
  higher percentage of merchandise on sale each week, greater use of advertising
  circulars, a broader assortment of merchandise, and the introduction of a
  California theme to merchandise and advertising. Through this strategy,
  Mervyn's repositioning efforts are expected to result in improving performance
  beginning in the third quarter.

  DSD'S second quarter and six-month operating profit declined compared to the
  same periods last year.  The gross margin rates deteriorated due to increased
  promotional markdowns, partially offset by increased markup.  The operating
  expense rates rose principally due to increases in marketing expenses,
  depreciation on newly remodeled stores and buying and occupancy costs
  partially offset by store efficiencies.

  In the second half of 1995, the impact of the accounts receivable
  securitization transaction will be reflected proportionately (based on
  respective receivable balances) in each division's operating profit results as
  a reduction of finance charge revenue as well as a reduction of bad debt
  expense. The net decrease in total operating profit in the second half of 1995
  of approximately $9 million is expected to be offset by savings realized
  through reduced interest expense due to the replacement of debt with the
  proceeds from the accounts receivable securitization transaction.

  Other Performance Factors
  -------------------------

  The last-in first-out (LIFO) provision was zero for the three- and six-month
  periods ended July 29, 1995 and July 30, 1994.   Management does not currently
  expect a material LIFO charge or credit for the total year.   The cumulative
  LIFO provision was $61 million at July 29, 1995 and January 28, 1995, and $80
  million at July 30, 1994.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
  Net interest expense increased $3 million ( $.02 per share) in the second
  quarter and $4 million ($.03 per share) in the first half of 1995 compared
  with the same periods last year as higher average debt balances were
  substantially offset by lower average portfolio interest rates.  Looking
  forward, this trend is expected to continue through the second half of 1995.
  In addition, interest expense savings will be realized through the
  securitization of accounts receivable.

  The estimated annual effective income tax rate is 39.5% for 1995.  This
  compares with an estimated rate of 39.0% in 1994.

  ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

  Our financial condition remains strong.  Our ratio of debt (including the
  present value of operating leases) to total capitalization was 60% at the end
  of second quarter 1995, compared with 59% a year ago and 57% at year end.  The
  higher rate at the end of second quarter reflects the additional capital
  invested in new stores and store remodels, as well as credit expansion.

  At July 29, 1995, working capital was $1,586 million, or 2% higher than a year
  ago. Accounts receivable increased 13% compared to a year ago reflecting the
  planned growth of internal credit balances associated with changes in payment
  terms at DSD and Mervyn's, and the expansion of Target's proprietary credit
  card. Compared to year-end, accounts receivable decreased 12%, the typical
  reduction from a seasonal high balance. As a result of the securitization
  transaction, accounts receivable will be reduced by $400 million.

  Merchandise inventories and accounts payable increased 9% and 18%,
  respectively, compared to second quarter 1994, primarily as a result of new
  store growth and enhanced accounts payable leveraging. Also, due to new store
  growth, merchandise inventories and accounts payable increased 12% and 10%,
  respectively, compared to year-end.

  Capital expenditures for the first half of 1995 were $762 million, compared
  with $496 million for the same period a year ago.  Approximately 64% of these
  expenditures were made by Target, 25% by Mervyn's, 10% by DSD and 1% by
  Corporate.  Mervyn's capital expenditures primarily represent the acquisition
  and remodel of several real estate sites in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market.

  STORE DATA

  At July 29, 1995, Target operated 645 stores in 32 states, Mervyn's operated
  294 stores in 16 states and DSD operated 63 stores in nine states, for a total
  of 1,002 stores in 33 states.  During the quarter, the Corporation opened 22
  Target stores and seven  Mervyn's stores.
