                          SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN I


                                   ARTICLE I

                                    GENERAL
                                    -------

     Sec. 1.1  Name of Plan.  The name of the pension plan set forth herein is
"Dayton Hudson Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan I" (the "Plan").  It was
originally known as the "Dayton-Hudson Corporation Supplemental Pension Plan".

     Sec. 1.2  Purpose.  The Plan has been established by Dayton Hudson
Corporation (the "Company") to provide retirement income that the Dayton Hudson
Corporation Employees' Retirement Plan (the "DHC Plan") as in effect from time
to time, The Retirement Plan of The J. L. Hudson Company (the "Hudson Plan") as
in effect from time to time, the Mervyn's Pension Plan (the "Mervyn's Plan") as
in effect from time to time, and the Dayton Hudson Corporation Excess Benefit
Plan (the "Excess Plan") as in effect from time to time cannot provide to
certain Participants in such plans because of the limitations imposed by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, relative to using
deferred compensation in connection with computing pension benefits under
qualified plans.  The Plan is intended to be a "top hat plan" as defined in
Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time, ("ERISA") and shall be
interpreted and administered accordingly.

     Sec. 1.3  Qualified Plan.  Each of the DHC Plan, the Hudson Plan and the
Mervyn's Plan is sometimes referred to herein as a "Qualified Plan".
<PAGE>
 
     Sec. 1.4  Participation.  An employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company becomes and remains a Participant in this Plan only if he is a
Participant in the DHC Plan and/or the Hudson Plan and/or the Mervyn's Plan, and
only if he is a member of a select group of management of the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company and is a highly compensated employee of the Company or
a subsidiary of the Company.  In order to meet the criteria of being a member of
a select group of management of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and
being a highly compensated employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the
Company, the employee must be designated a member of the Senior Management Group
("SMG") by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or of an equivalent rank
on any revised classification system.

     Sec. 1.5  Miscellaneous.  The terms in this Plan shall have the same
meaning as those used in the Qualified Plans unless the context clearly
indicates the contrary.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                PENSION BENEFITS
                                ----------------

     Sec. 2.1  Amount of Pension.  Each Participant in this Plan shall be
entitled to a pension under this Plan that is the actuarial equivalent of the
excess, if any, of (a) the pension the Participant would be entitled under the
benefit formula of the Qualified Plans applied (i) without respect to the
maximum benefit limitations in said Plans required by Section 415 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, (ii) as if Section
4.7(b) of the Qualified Plans read as follows:

     "Any bonus earned by a Participant pursuant to a plan or policy of the
     Company, that is paid in a calendar year other than the calendar year in
     which such bonus would normally be paid under such plan or policy, shall be
     included in Certified Earnings in the year it

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     normally would be paid, be valued at the amount of bonus that would have
     been paid in that year and shall not be included in Certified Earnings in
     the year it is paid",

for each year the Participant was a Participant in this Plan, and (iii) as if
Section 4.7 of the Qualified Plans included in Certified Earnings for a Plan
Year compensation that would have been paid in that year in the absence of an
election to defer payment of the compensation to a later date pursuant to the
provisions of a deferred compensation plan, over (b) the pension the Participant
is entitled to receive from the Qualified Plans and the Excess Plan.

     Sec. 1.1  Name of Plan.  The name of the pension plan set forth herein is

Corporation Employees' Retirement Plan (the "DHC Plan") as in effect from time

in effect from time to time, the Mervyn's Pension Plan (the "Mervyn's Plan") as

(the "Excess Plan") as in effect from time to time, and the Dayton Hudson

effect from time to time cannot provide to certain Participants in such plans
because of the limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended from time to time, relative to compensation above a certain maximum in
connection with computing pension benefits under qualified plans.  The Plan is
intended to be a "top hat plan" as defined in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and

("SMG") by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or of an equivalent rank

maximum compensation limitation in said Qualified Plans required by Section
401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time,

     (c)  Maximum Reduction in Earnings.  A Participant may not elect a

          Salary and ninety percent (90%) of the Bonus payable during such Plan
          Year plus the amount of any payout made pursuant to Section 5.2, or

          greater total amount as the Company may permit in its sole discretion.
          In no event can Base Salary be reduced below Reduced Salary.  In the
          event that a Participant elects a Cumulative Deferral Amount that
          would violate the limitation described in this paragraph (c), the
          election shall be valid except that the Cumulative Deferral Amount so
          elected shall automatically be reduced to

                                       6

          comply with such limitation, whichever is most appropriate in the sole

month in which such Base Salary or Bonus would otherwise have been paid.  The
Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited with the annual SRSP lost
Matching Allocation on the last day of February following the year of the lost
Matching Allocation.  Such Deferral Accounts shall be debited by the amount of
any payments made by the Company to the Participant or the Participant's
Beneficiary pursuant to this Plan.  A separate Deferral Account shall be
maintained for each type of deferral election made and for each Crediting Rate
Alternative.

     Sec. 4.3  HCCAP.  All persons who become Participants in this Plan on
January 1, 1997 will have the balance of their HCCAP Account transferred to this

          Alternative.

     (c)  Vesting.  Each Employee who has a Termination of Employment and does
          not have five Years of Vesting will have his or her Deferral Accounts
          revalued using only the Crediting Rate Alternative and not receiving
          the Enhancement.  Provided, however, if an Employee's Termination of
          Employment is because of death or permanent and total disability, the
          Employee will be treated as if he or she have five years of vesting.

     Sec. 4.7  Time of Payment.  If a Participant has a Termination of
Employment after age fifty-five or an involuntary termination after age fifty
with ten years of Credited Service, the participant's Deferral Accounts will be
paid pursuant to his or her elections.  If a Participant has a Termination of
Employment that does not qualify under the first sentence of this section, the
Participant's Deferral Accounts will be paid in a lump sum as soon as possible
following Termination of Employment.

     Sec. 4.8  Statement of Accounts.  The Company shall submit to each
Participant, within one hundred twenty days after the close of each Plan Year, a

     Sec. 5.1  Termination of Enrollment in Plan.  With the written consent of
the Company, a Participant may terminate his or her enrollment in the Plan by
filing with the Company a written request to terminate enrollment.  The Company
will consent to the termination of a Participant's enrollment in the Plan in the
event of an unforeseeable financial emergency of the Participant.  An
unforeseeable financial emergency shall mean an unexpected need for cash arising
from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal or other such
unforeseeable occurrence.  Cash needs arising from foreseeable events such as
the purchase of a house or education expenses for children shall not be
considered to be the result of an unforeseeable financial emergency.  Upon
termination of enrollment, no further reductions shall be made in the
Participant's Base Salary or Bonus pursuant to his or her Enrollment Agreement,
and the Participant shall immediately cease to be eligible for any benefits
under the Plan other than payments from his or her Deferral Accounts.  In its
sole discretion, the Committee may pay the Deferral Accounts on a date earlier
than the Participant's Termination of Employment with the Participating
Employer, in which event the amounts shall be calculated as if the Participant
had a Termination of Employment with the Participating Employer on the date of
such payment.

is an Employee of the Company or a Participating Employer, the amount by which
the Participant's Base Salary and/or Bonus were reduced in any Plan year
pursuant to Section 4.1 during the eighth (8th) year following the Plan Year
("Early Payment"), provided that such amount has not previously been paid out
under other provisions of the Plan.  Such Early Payment shall not include any
amounts credited to the Participant's Deferral Account pursuant to Section 4.6
or the SRSP Lost Matching Contribution.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Plan, the Participant may elect prior to the beginning of any year in which
such an Early Payment will be made to him or her to deposit all or a part of
such amount in his or her Deferral Accounts.

     Sec. 5.3  Survivor Benefits

     (a)  Death While Employed.  If a Participant dies while employed by a
          Participating Employer, the Company will pay the amount in his or her
          Deferral Accounts to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon as possible
          after death in a lump sum.

     (b)  Death After Termination of Employment.  If a Participant dies after
          Termination of Employment, and has not received all of his or her
          payments, and the Participant's Beneficiary is his or her spouse,
          payments shall be made to the spouse pursuant to the Participant's
          payout elections.  If the Participant's spouse dies before receiving
          all payments, the remaining amount in the Deferral Accounts will be
          paid in a lump sum as soon as possible after the spouse's death to the
          spouse's estate.  If a Participant dies after Termination of
          Employment, has not received all of his or her payments, and the
          Participant's Beneficiary is a Person other than his or her spouse,
          then payment shall be made in a lump sum as soon as possible after the
          Participant's death.

     Sec. 5.4  Small Benefit.  In the event that the Company determines in its
sole discretion that the amount of any benefit is too small to make it
administratively convenient to pay such benefit over time, the Company may pay
the benefit in the form of a lump sum, notwithstanding any provision of this
Article or Article IV to the contrary.

     Sec. 5.5  Withholding.  To the extent required by the law in effect at the
time payments are made, the Company shall withhold from payments made hereunder
or any other payment owing by the Company to the Participant the taxes required
to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government.

     Sec. 5.6  Lump Sum Payout Option.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan, at any time after Termination of Employment, but not later than ten
years after Termination of Employment of the Participant, a Participant or a
Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may elect to receive an immediate lump sum
payment of 100% of the balance of his or her Deferral

                                       9

Accounts, if any, reduced by a penalty, which shall be forfeited to the Company,
equal to eight percent of the amount of his or her Deferral Accounts he or she
elected to receive, in lieu of payments in accordance with the form previously
elected by the Participant, or provided elsewhere in this Plan.  However, the
penalty shall not apply if the Company determines, based on advice of counsel or
a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or any court of competent
jurisdiction, that by reason of the foregoing provision any Participant or
Beneficiary has recognized or will recognize gross income for federal income tax
purposes under this Plan in advance of payment to him of Plan benefits.  The
Company shall notify all Participants (and Beneficiaries of deceased
Participants) of any such determination.  Whenever any such determination is
made, the Company shall refund all penalties which were imposed hereunder on
account of making lump sum payments at any time during or after the first year
to which such determination applies (i.e., the first year when gross income is
recognized for federal income tax purposes).  Interest shall be paid on any such
refunds at Variable Interest Crediting Rate for each Plan Year, compounded
annually.  The Committee may also reduce or eliminate the penalty if it
determines that this action will not cause any Participant or Beneficiary to
recognize gross income for federal income tax purposes under this Plan in
advance of payment to him of Plan benefits.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                            BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
                            -----------------------

     Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person
or persons as Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom payment under this Plan shall
be made in the event of the Participant's death prior to complete distribution
to the Participant of the benefits due under the Plan.  Each Beneficiary
designation shall be come effective only when filed in writing with the Company
during the Participant's lifetime on a form prescribed by the Company.

     The filing of a new Beneficiary designation form will cancel all
Beneficiary designations previously filed.  Any finalized divorce or marriage
(other than a common law marriage) of a Participant subsequent to the date of
filing of a Beneficiary designation form shall revoke such designation unless in
the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary and
unless in the case of marriage the Participant's new spouse had previously been
designated as Beneficiary.

     If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if
his or her Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise
without execution of a new designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries
predecease the Participant or die prior to complete distribution of the
Participant's benefits, then the Company shall direct the distribution of such
benefits to the Participant's spouse, if any, and if there is no spouse to the
Participant's estate.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                       AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
                       ---------------------------------

     Sec. 8.1  Amendment.  The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time
amend the Plan in whole or in part for any reason, including but not limited to
tax, accounting or insurance changes, which may result in termination of the
Plan for future deferrals, provided,

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
however, that no amendment shall be effective as to the benefits under the Plan
payable to any Participant which have accrued prior to the date of such
amendment, but may change the Crediting Rate Alternatives to be credited to such
benefits following the date of the amendment.  Written notice of any amendment
shall be given each Participant then participating in the Plan.

     Sec. 8.2  Termination.

     (a)  Company's Right to Terminate.  The Board of Directors of the Company
          may at any time terminate the Plan, if in its judgement, the
          continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, insurance or other
          consequences thereof, or potential payouts thereunder would not be in
          the best interests of the Company, provided, however, that the Company
          may only terminate this Plan with respect to any particular
          participant if it terminated the Plan with respect to all similarly
          situated Participants.

     (b)  Automatic Termination.  The Plan shall terminate upon a determination
          by the Company that a final decision of a court of competent
          jurisdiction or the U.S. Department of Labor holding that the Plan is
          not maintained "primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
          compensation for a select group of management or highly-compensated
          employees," and therefore is subject to Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of
          ERISA, would require that the Plan be funded and would result in
          immediate taxation to Participants of their vested Plan benefits.

     (c)  Payments Upon Termination.  Upon any Plan termination  under this
          Section 8.2, the Participants will be deemed to have terminated their
          enrollment under the Plan as of the date of such termination.  Base
          salary and bonus shall  cease to be deferred as of  date determined by
          the Company, and the Participating Employer will pay all Participants
          the value of each Participant's Deferral Accounts, determined as if
          each Participant had a Termination of Employment on the date of such
          termination of the Plan, at such times and pursuant to such terms and
          conditions as the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole
          discretion shall determine.

     Sec. 9.1  Unsecured General Creditor.  Participants and their
Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable

or the proceeds therefrom owned or which may be acquired by Company
("Policies").  Such Policies or other assets of Participating Employers shall
not be held under any trust (except they may be placed in a Rabbi Trust) for the
benefit of Participants, their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
assigns, or held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the
obligations of Participating Employers under this Plan.  Any and all of a
Participating Employer's assets and Policies shall be, and remain, the general,
unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Participating Employer.  Participating
Employers obligations under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and
unsecured promise of a Participating Employer to pay money in the future.

shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage,
commute or otherwise encumber, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual
receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, or interest
therein which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be
unassignable and non-transferable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior
to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any
debts, judgements, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any
other person, not be transferable by operation of law in the event of a
Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency

     Sec. 9.3  Protective Provisions.  Each Participant shall cooperate with the
Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company in order
to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical
examinations as the Company may deem necessary and taking such other relevant
action as may be requested by the Company.  If a Participant refuses so to
cooperate, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under
the Plan, other than payment to such participant of the cumulative reductions in
base salary and or  bonus theretofore made pursuant to this Plan.  If a
Participant commits suicide during the two (2) year period beginning on the
later of (a) the date of adoption of this Plan or (b) the first day of the first
Plan Year of such Participant's participation in the Plan, or if the Participant
makes any material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical
history, then no benefits will be payable hereunder to such Participant or his
Beneficiary, other than payment to such Participant of the cumulative reductions
in Base Salary and or Bonus theretofore made pursuant to this Plan, provided,
that in the Company's sole discretion, benefits may be payable in an amount
reduced to compensate the Company for any loss, cost, damage or expense suffered
or incurred by the Company as a result in any way of such misstatement or
nondisclosure.

     Sec. 9.4  Validity.  In the event any provision of this Plan is held
invalid, void, or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other   provision of this Plan.

     Sec. 9.5  Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given
to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal office of
the Company, directed to the attention of the President of the Company.  Such
notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made
by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or
certification.

                            CERTAIN BENEFIT PAYMENTS
                            ------------------------

     Sec. 5.1  Termination of Enrollment in Plan.  With the written consent of 
the Company, a Participant may terminate his or her enrollment in the Plan by
filing with the Company a written request to terminate enrollment.  The Company
will consent to the termination of a Participant's enrollment in the Plan in the
event of an unforeseeable financial emergency of the Participant.  An
unforeseeable financial emergency shall mean an unexpected need for cash arising
from an illness, casualty loss, sudden financial reversal or other such
unforeseeable occurrence.  Cash needs arising from foreseeable events such as
the purchase of a house or education expenses for children shall not be
considered to be the result of an unforeseeable financial emergency.  Upon
termination of enrollment, no further reductions shall be made in the
Participant's Earnings pursuant to his or her Enrollment Agreement, and the
Participant shall immediately cease to be eligible for any benefits under the
Plan other than payments from his or her Deferral Accounts.  In its sole
discretion, the Committee may pay the Deferral Accounts on a date earlier than
the Participant's Retirement with the Participating Employer, in which event the
amounts shall be calculated as if the Participant had a Retirement with the
Participating Employer on the date of such payment.  Following termination of
enrollment in the Plan, a Participant's Deferral Account shall be credited at
the Crediting Rate Alternative with no Enhancement.

     Sec. 5.2  Survivor Benefits

     (a)  Death While Employed.  If a Participant dies while a Director of a
          Participating Employer, the Company will pay the amount in his or her
          Deferral Accounts to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon as possible
          after death in a lump sum.

     (b)  Death After Retirement.  If a Participant dies after Retirement, and
          has not received all of his or her payments, and the Participant's
          Beneficiary is his or her spouse, payments shall be made to the spouse
          pursuant to the Participant's payout elections.  If the Participant's
          spouse dies before receiving all payments, the remaining amount in the
          Deferral Accounts will be paid in a lump sum as soon as possible after
          the spouse's death to the spouse's estate.  If a Participant dies
          after Retirement, has not received all of his or her payments, and the
          Participant's Beneficiary is a Person other than his or her spouse,
          then payment shall be made in a lump sum as soon as possible after the
          Participant's death.

     Sec. 5.3  Small Benefit.  In the event that the Company determines in its
sole discretion that the amount of any benefit is too small to make it
administratively convenient to pay such benefit over time, the Company may pay
the benefit in the form of a lump sum, notwithstanding any provision of this
Article or Article IV to the contrary.

     Sec. 5.4  Withholding.  To the extent required by the law in effect at the
time payments are made, the Company shall withhold from payments made hereunder
or any other payment

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
owing by the Company to the Participant the taxes required to be withheld by the
federal or any state or local government.

     Sec. 5.5  Lump Sum Payout Option.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan, at any time after Retirement, but not later than ten years after
Retirement of the Participant, a Participant or a Beneficiary of a deceased
Participant may elect to receive an immediate lump sum payment of 100% of the
balance of his or her Deferral Accounts, if any, reduced by a penalty, which
shall be forfeited to the Company, equal to eight percent of the amount of his
or her Deferral Accounts he or she elected to receive, in lieu of payments in
accordance with the form previously elected by the Participant, or provided
elsewhere in this Plan.  However, the penalty shall not apply if the Company
determines, based on advice of counsel or a final determination by the Internal
Revenue Service or any court of competent jurisdiction, that by reason of the
foregoing provision any Participant or Beneficiary has recognized or will
recognize gross income for federal income tax purposes under this Plan in
advance of payment to him of Plan benefits.  The Company shall notify all
Participants (and Beneficiaries of deceased Participants) of any such
determination.  Whenever any such determination is made, the Company shall
refund all penalties which were imposed hereunder on account of making lump sum
payments at any time during or after the first year to which such determination
applies (i.e., the first year when gross income is recognized for federal income
tax purposes).  Interest shall be paid on any such refunds at the Variable
Interest Crediting Rate for each Plan Year, compounded annually.  The Committee
may also reduce or eliminate the penalty if it determines that this action will
not cause any Participant or Beneficiary to recognize gross income for federal
income tax purposes under this Plan in advance of payment to him of Plan
benefits.

                            BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
                            -----------------------

     Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person
or persons as Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom payment under this Plan shall
be made in the event of the Participant's death prior to complete distribution
to the Participant of the benefits due under the Plan.  Each Beneficiary
designation shall be come effective only when filed in writing with the Company
during the Participant's lifetime on a form prescribed by the Company.

     The filing of a new Beneficiary designation form will cancel all
Beneficiary designations previously filed.  Any finalized divorce or marriage
(other than a common law marriage) of a Participant subsequent to the date of
filing of a Beneficiary designation form shall revoke such designation unless in
the case of divorce the previous spouse was not designated as Beneficiary and
unless in the case of marriage the Participant's new spouse had previously been
designated as Beneficiary.

     If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary as provided above, or if
his or her Beneficiary designation is revoked by marriage, divorce, or otherwise
without execution of a new designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries
predecease the Participant or die prior to complete

                                       7

distribution of the Participant's benefits, then the Company shall direct the
distribution of such benefits to the Participant's spouse, if any, and if there
is no spouse to the Participant's estate.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                             ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
                             ----------------------

     Sec. 7.1  Administration by Company.  The Company is the "administrator" of
the Plan.  Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, the Company shall
control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan, make all
decisions and determinations incident thereto, and construe the provisions
thereof.  In carrying out its Plan responsibilities, the Company shall have
discretionary authority to construe the terms of the Plan.  Except in cases
where the Plan expressly requires action on behalf of the Company to be taken by
the Board, action on behalf of the Company may be taken by any of the following:

     (a)  The Board.

     (b)  The Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

     (c)  The Vice President of Personnel of the Company.

     (d)  Any person or persons, natural or otherwise, or committee, to whom
          responsibilities for the operation and administration of the Plan are
          allocated by the Company, by resolution of the Board or by written
          instrument executed by the Chief Executive Officer or the Vice
          President of Personnel of the Company and filed with its permanent
          records, but action of such person or persons or committee shall be
          within the scope of said allocation.

     Sec. 7.2  Certain Fiduciary Provisions.  For purposes of the Plan:

     (a)  Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary
          capacity with respect to the Plan.

     (b)  A Named Fiduciary, or a fiduciary designated by a Named Fiduciary
          pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, may employ one or more persons
          to render advice with regard to any responsibility such fiduciary has
          under the Plan.

     (c)  Any time the Plan has more than one Named Fiduciary, if pursuant to
          the Plan provisions fiduciary responsibilities are not already
          allocated among such Named Fiduciaries, the Company, by action of the
          Board or its chief executive officer, may provide for such allocation.

     (d)  Unless expressly prohibited in the appointment of a Named Fiduciary
          which is not the Company acting as provided in Sec. 7.1, such Named
          Fiduciary by written instrument may designate a person or persons
          other than such Named Fiduciary

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
          to carry out any or all of the fiduciary responsibilities under the
          Plan of such Named Fiduciary.

     (e)  A person who is a fiduciary with respect to the Plan, including a
          Named Fiduciary, shall be recognized and treated as a fiduciary only
          with respect to the particular fiduciary functions as to which such
          person has responsibility.

     Sec. 7.3  Evidence.  Evidence required of anyone under this Plan may be by
certificate, affidavit, document, or other instrument which the person acting in
reliance thereon considers to be pertinent and reliable and to be signed, made,
or presented by the proper party.

     Sec. 7.4  Records.  Each Participating Employer, each fiduciary with
respect to the Plan, and each other person performing any functions in the
operation or administration of the Plan shall keep such records as may be
necessary or appropriate in the discharge of their respective functions
hereunder, including records required by applicable law.  Records shall be
retained as long as necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and at
least for any period required by applicable law.

     Sec. 7.5  General Fiduciary Standard.  Each fiduciary shall discharge his
duties with respect to the Plan solely in the interests of Participants and with
the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing
that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters
would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like
aims.

     Sec. 7.6  Waiver of Notice.  Any notice required hereunder may be waived by
the person entitled thereto.

     Sec. 7.7  Agent for Legal Process.  The Company shall be the agent for
service of legal process with respect to any matter concerning the Plan, unless
and until the Company designates some other person as such agent.

     Sec. 7.8  Indemnification.  In addition to any other applicable provisions
for indemnification, the Participating Employers jointly and severally agree to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each director,
officer, and employee of the Participating Employers against any and all
liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses (including legal fees) of whatsoever
kind and nature which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such
person at any time by reason of such person's services as a fiduciary in
connection with the Plan, but only if such person did not act dishonestly, or in
bad faith, or in willful violation of the law or regulations under which such
liability, loss, cost, or expense arises.

                                 ARTICLE VIII
                       AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
                       ---------------------------------

     Sec. 8.1  Amendment.  The Board of Directors of the Company may at any
time amend the Plan in whole or in part for any reason, including but not
limited to tax, accounting or insurance changes, which may result in termination
of the Plan for future deferrals, provided, however, that no amendment shall be
effective as to the benefits under the Plan payable to any Participant which
have accrued prior to the date of such amendment, but may change the Crediting
Rate Alternatives to be credited to such benefits following the date of the
amendment.  Written notice of any amendment shall be given each Participant then
participating in the Plan.

     Sec. 8.2  Termination.

     (a)  Company's Right to Terminate.  The Board of Directors of the Company
          may at any time terminate the Plan, if in its judgement, the
          continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, insurance or other
          consequences thereof, or potential payouts thereunder would not be in
          the best interests of the Company, provided, however, that the Company
          may only terminate this Plan with respect to any particular
          Participant if it terminated the Plan with respect to all similarly
          situated Participants.

     (b)  Payments Upon Termination.  Upon any Plan termination  under this
          Section 8.2, the Participants will be deemed to have terminated their
          enrollment under the Plan as of the date of such termination.
          Earnings shall  cease to be deferred as of  date determined by the
          Company, and the Participating Employer will pay all Participants the
          value of each Participant's Deferral Accounts, determined as if each
          Participant had a Retirement on the date of such termination of the
          Plan, at such times and pursuant to such terms and conditions as the
          Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion shall
          determine.


                                   ARTICLE IX
                                 MISCELLANEOUS
                                 -------------

     Sec. 9.1  Unsecured General Creditor.  Participants and their
Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable
rights, claims, or interests in any specific property or assets of the Company
or a Participating Employer, nor shall they be beneficiaries of, or have any
rights, claims, or interests in any life insurance policies, annuity contracts,
or the proceeds therefrom owned or which may be acquired by Company
("Policies").  Such Policies or other assets of Participating Employers shall
not be held under any trust (except they may be placed in a Rabbi Trust) for the
benefit of Participants, their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, or assigns, or
held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of
Participating Employers under this Plan.  Any and all of a Participating
Employer's assets and Policies shall be, and remain, the general, unpledged,
unrestricted assets of the Participating

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Employer.  Participating Employers obligations under the Plan shall be merely
that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of a Participating Employer to pay
money in the future.

     Sec. 9.2  Nonassignability.  Neither a Participant nor any other person
shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage,
commute or otherwise encumber, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual
receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, or interest
therein which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be
unassignable and non-transferable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior
to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any
debts, judgements, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any
other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a
Participant's or any other person's bankruptcy or insolvency

     Sec. 9.3  Protective Provisions.  Each Participant shall cooperate with the
Company by furnishing any and all information requested by the Company in order
to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical
examinations as the Company may deem necessary and taking such other relevant
action as may be requested by the Company.  If a Participant refuses so to
cooperate, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant under
the Plan, other than payment to such participant of the cumulative reductions in
Earnings theretofore made pursuant to this Plan.  If a Participant commits
suicide during the two (2) year period beginning on the later of (a) the date of
adoption of this Plan or (b) the first day of the first Plan Year of such
Participant's participation in the Plan, or if the Participant makes any
material misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then
no benefits will be payable hereunder to such Participant or his Beneficiary,
other than payment to such Participant of the cumulative reductions in Earnings
theretofore made pursuant to this Plan, provided, that in the Company's sole
discretion, benefits may be payable in an amount reduced to compensate the
Company for any loss, cost, damage or expense suffered or incurred by the
Company as a result in any way of such misstatement or nondisclosure.

     Sec. 9.4  Validity.  In the event any provision of this Plan is held
invalid, void, or unenforceable, the same shall not affect, in any respect
whatsoever, the validity of any other   provision of this Plan.

     Sec. 9.5  Notice.  Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given
to the Company under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand
delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the principal office of
the Company, directed to the attention of the President of the Company.  Such
notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made
by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or
certification.

     Sec. 9.6  Applicable Law.  This Plan shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota as applied to contracts
executed and to be wholly performed in such state.

                            ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS
                 (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


  We reported record revenues, operating profit, earnings and fully diluted
earnings per share in 1994.  Net earnings grew 16% to $434 million compared with
$375 million in 1993 and $383 million in 1992.  Fully diluted earnings per share
were $5.52 in 1994 versus $4.77 in 1993 and $4.82 in 1992.

  In 1994, all three operating divisions reported an increase in operating
profit.  Operating profit is LIFO earnings from operations before corporate
expense, interest and income taxes.  Target maintained its strong earnings
momentum, while Mervyn's performance improved and the Department Store Division
(DSD) recorded another year of solid performance.

  Total operating profit grew 9% to $1,208 million compared with $1,109 million
in 1993 and $1,086 million in 1992.  Target had another record year with an 11%
increase in operating profit, while Mervyn's increased 15% and DSD increased 1%
to a new record.  Operating profit in 1994 was affected by a substantial
decrease in the year-over-year LIFO credit.  The pre-tax LIFO credit in 1994 was
$19 million versus $91 million in 1993.

  The earnings variance analysis, presented below, and associated discussion
represents management's view of the business and differs from the
classifications in the Consolidated Results of Operations.  Revenues include
sales, as well as finance charges and other revenues.  The gross margin rate
includes cost of retail sales and excludes buying and occupancy costs.  The
operating expense rate includes buying and occupancy costs; selling, publicity
and administrative expenses excluding start-up and corporate and other expense;
depreciation and taxes other than income taxes.  Start-up expenses are costs
associated with opening new stores and remodeling existing stores.

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

  The table below identifies the major factors in the change in earnings per
share:

REVENUES

  The Corporation reported an 11% increase in total revenues and a 5% increase
in comparable-store revenues in 1994 despite continued deflation of retail
prices at each of the operating divisions.  Comparable-store revenues are
revenues from stores open longer than a year.  Target's strong revenue increase
reflected both new and existing store growth, effective advertising and 
superior merchandising execution.  Mervyn's revenue showed a modest improvement 
due primarily to new store growth.  DSD's revenue increase was mainly due to 
growth in home and moderate-price merchandise.  The operating divisions' 
revenues were also aided by increases in finance charge revenues associated with
growth in our proprietary credit card operations.

  The 1993 overall revenue growth reflected Target's new store expansion and the
continued success of its value-pricing strategy, along with DSD's additional
promotional events.  Mervyn's revenue decline reflected the effect of orienting
its guests to a more balanced value-pricing and promotional strategy.
Additionally, both Target and Mervyn's results were impacted by their
substantial presence in the California market, which remained depressed
throughout the majority of 1993.

  One measure used to evaluate store productivity is revenues per square foot.
Higher revenues per square foot at Target reflected solid base business growth,
partially offset by the inherent lower productivity of new stores.  Mervyn's
decline primarily represented the inherent lower productivity of new stores in
conjunction with unchanged comparable-store revenues.  DSD's growth was due to
higher revenues on an unchanged square footage base.

GROSS MARGIN RATE

  The overall gross margin rate was essentially unchanged in 1994 reflecting
substantially improved markdowns at each of the operating divisions, offset by a
significantly lower LIFO credit of $19 million compared with $91 million last
year.

.  TARGET'S value-pricing strategy generated a favorable impact on its 1994
   gross margin rate.  A significant improvement in promotional markdowns was
   partially offset by a somewhat lower, stabilizing markup. Despite this, its
   gross margin rate declined during 1994 reflecting a significantly lower LIFO
   credit.

.  MERVYN'S gross margin rate reflected a solid improvement in 1994 due to
   improved markdowns, partially offset by lower markup.  During the year the
   competitive pricing strategy was further refined, reducing initial retail
   prices, while promotional markdowns improved.  Also, the gross margin rate
   benefitted from lower clearance markdowns associated with improved inventory
   management.

.  DSD'S gross margin rate was essentially unchanged in 1994.  A significant
   improvement in the clearance markdown rate was offset by a lower LIFO credit
   and somewhat higher promotional markdowns reflecting incremental sale events.

  The 1993 overall gross margin rate declined reflecting our lowering of initial
retail prices to meet the needs of value-conscious consumers, partially offset
by a substantial LIFO credit.  Target's gross margin rate declined in 1993
reflecting the ongoing impact of its value-pricing strategy, partially offset by
improvement in the promotional markdown rate and a substantial LIFO credit.
Mervyn's 1993 gross margin rate decline was the result of higher clearance
markdowns associated with reducing inventories.  DSD's gross margin rate
improved in 1993 due to lower cost of merchandise and a LIFO credit.

GROSS MARGIN RATE (CONTINUED)
  Looking forward, with an increasing percentage of overall growth coming from
Target, the gross margin rate is expected to decline over time.

  The LIFO provision was as follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

  The 1994 LIFO credit reflected higher inventory levels associated with new
store growth as well as deflation in retail prices associated with our value-
pricing strategies, although at a much slower, stabilizing rate.  The 1993 LIFO
credit reflected the adoption of internally-generated price indices at Mervyn's
and DSD associated with their lowering of retail prices and deflation in
Target's internal price index, partially offset by a substantial decline in
inventory levels at Mervyn's.  The 1992 LIFO expense was primarily due to
inflation at Mervyn's and DSD, partially offset by an increase in inventory
levels at Mervyn's and deflation in prices at Target.

   The LIFO provision is calculated based on internally-generated price indices,
inventory levels and markup levels.


OPERATING EXPENSE RATE

  The overall operating expense rate increased in 1994 despite strong expense
management at each of the operating divisions.  The higher operating expense
rate primarily reflected additional advertising expense at Mervyn's and DSD and
charges associated with the closing and relocation of certain Target stores.
Each of the operating divisions will continue to focus on expense disciplines
and will benefit from our pursuit of a boundaryless organization by sharing
resources and expertise between divisions.

. TARGET'S operating expense rate was essentially unchanged in 1994. The 
  benefits of sales leverage and expense efficiencies were offset by an
  incremental $32 million, or $.26 per share, charge for strategic store
  closings and relocations. Looking forward, Target will continue to
  aggressively reposition its stores to more strategic locations and close 
  under-performing stores, although future annual charges are not expected to 
  be as significant as in 1994.

. MERVYN'S operating expense rate increased significantly in 1994 due to
  additional advertising expense, lower sales leverage and a charge of
  approximately $20 million, or $.16 per share, for the Colorado Project. The
  Colorado Project was the remodeling, remerchandising and grand opening of 11
  Colorado stores used as the laboratory for new store design and merchandising
  strategies. Mervyn's continues to focus on expense control.

. DSD'S operating expense rate was higher in 1994 due to increased advertising
  expenses associated with incremental promotional events somewhat offset by
  expense efficiencies.

  The 1993 operating expense rate included a pre-tax charge of $22 million, or
$.18 per share, from the Los Angeles earthquake substantially offset by solid
expense management at each of the operating divisions. Target's operating
expense rate improved in 1993, reflecting favorable sales leveraging and expense
efficiencies within the stores, partially offset by charges related to the
earthquake. Despite its continued focus on expense control, Mervyn's operating
expense rate deteriorated in 1993 due to slightly higher operating expenses on a
substantially lower revenue base, as well as charges associated with the
earthquake. DSD's operating expense rate improved in 1993 due to distribution
expense efficiencies, partially offset by increased advertising expense.

                 (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


START-UP EXPENSES

  Start-up expenses rose in 1994 due to growth in the number of new stores at
Target and increased remodeling expenses at Mervyn's and DSD.  Start-up expenses
declined in 1993 compared with 1992 due to fewer new stores.  A total of 72 new
stores were opened in 1994 compared with 62 stores in 1993 and 68 stores in
1992.  Start-up expenses are generally recognized evenly throughout the year in
which the expenses are incurred.


INTEREST EXPENSE

  Interest expense decreased $20 million in 1994 as a result of lower average
financing requirements and a lower average portfolio interest rate.  The lower
rate reflected a modest increase in lower cost floating-rate debt.  The interest
expense increase in 1993 was due to additional debt required to finance new
stores and store-remodeling programs partially offset by lower interest rates.

  In 1995, interest expense is expected to increase reflecting additional
borrowing requirements for the funding of new stores, remodeling programs and
internal credit expansion.  Although we plan to increase floating rate debt
modestly in 1995, we do not anticipate material changes in our average portfolio
interest rate.


CORPORATE AND OTHER EXPENSE, NET

  Corporate and other expense includes corporate headquarters expense, corporate
charitable contributions to support our giving program of 5% of federally
taxable income and a variety of other items.

  Included in 1994 corporate and other expense was a pre-tax charge of $10
million, or $.08 per share, for the consolidation of the Corporation's credit
operations.  The charge primarily represents severance and benefits for
approximately 500 employees.  The consolidation of two credit operations into
one is expected to be completed by Summer 1995.  The consolidation is expected
to result in cost savings and create a cross-divisional source of credit
information.


INCOME TAX RATE

 The effective tax rates were as follows:

<TABLE> 
<CAPTION> 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
                                1994         1993          1992
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
<S>                           <C>          <C>           <C> 
Effective tax rate              39.2%        38.2%         37.3%
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE> 

  The increase in the 1994 effective tax rate compared with 1993 reflected the
one-time benefit in 1993 from the adoption of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." While the 1993 tax rate benefitted from this adoption, the
increase over 1992 reflected the one percentage point rise in the federal
statutory tax rate and the associated increase to deferred tax balances, as well
as the reduced financial reporting deductibility of preferred stock dividends
associated with SFAS No. 109.


FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

  Due to the seasonal nature of the retail industry, fourth quarter results
represent a substantially larger share of the total year operating results due
to the inclusion of the Christmas season.

  The Corporation's fourth quarter earnings per share were $3.62, essentially
unchanged from the same quarter last year despite a pre-tax LIFO credit of $9
million, or $.07 per share, in 1994 versus $106 million, or $.87 per share, in
1993.  Net earnings were $279 million for the quarter compared with $278 million
in 1993.  Operating profit showed a slight increase in the quarter, with strong
operating results more than offsetting the effect of a significantly lower LIFO
credit.

. TARGET'S modest operating profit increase reflected a 16% revenue increase
  partially offset by a lower gross margin rate and a higher operating expense
  rate.  Comparable-store revenues increased 7%.  Despite a modest improvement
  in the markdown rate, Target's gross margin rate declined, reflecting a
  significant year-to-year change in the LIFO provision.

. MERVYN'S operating profit increased as total revenues rose 5% and comparable-
  store revenues were up 2%.  The gross margin rate improved as a substantially
  lower markdown rate was partially offset by a significantly lower LIFO credit.
  The operating expense rate increased slightly.

. DSD'S operating profit declined moderately in the fourth quarter reflecting a
  significant decline in the LIFO credit.  Partially offsetting the gross margin
  rate decline were improved total and comparable-store revenues of 3% and an
  improved operating expense rate due to store operational efficiencies.

                        ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


  In 1994, we strengthened our financial condition through solid financial
performance and improved inventory and payables control. Cash flow from earnings
and depreciation grew 11% in 1994 to $965 million. Internally-generated funds
continue to be an important component of our capital resources.

  Accounts receivable growth in 1994 reflected the expansion of our proprietary
credit card operations. In 1994 we changed payment terms on DSD's and Mervyn's
internal credit cards and began testing a Target card. This grew accounts
receivable balances, finance charge revenues and late fees. The growth of
accounts receivable in 1995 is expected to continue, comparable to the growth
experienced in 1994.

  Inventories were well controlled throughout 1994.  The increase in 1994 year-
end inventories primarily reflected new store growth.   Inventory turnover
improved in 1994, the result of better merchandising execution at each operating
division and a greater mix of our business shifting to Target. In conjunction
with a faster inventory turn, our accounts payable leveraging also improved.

  Capital expenditures for 1994 were $1,095 million, of which 77% were made by
Target, 13% by Mervyn's, 9% by DSD and 1% by Corporate.  During 1994, Target 
added 60 new stores and Mervyn's opened 12 new stores.  Nearly 65% of total 
capital expenditures were for building new stores, 21% for store remodeling and 
14% for distribution and systems.  Over the past five years, Target's square 
footage has grown at a compound annual rate of 10% and is expected to continue 
into the future.

  Capital expenditures for 1995 are expected to be several hundred million
dollars higher than 1994 capital expenditures.  We continue to invest in each of
our operating companies, however, most new store capital continues to be
allocated to Target due to its proven record of successful expansion and
profitable growth.  The 1995 store opening plans are for 60-70 new Target
stores, 11 new Mervyn's stores and one new department store.  Expansion into
major new markets initially includes Target's six stores in Cleveland/Akron and
Mervyn's seven stores in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

  Our capital expenditure priorities are as follows:

. REMODEL existing facilities to maintain and expand current market share.
. IMPROVE DISTRIBUTION AND SYSTEMS to support sales growth.
. BUILD STORES IN EXISTING MARKETS to increase market share as well as
  leverage our existing expense structure.
. BUILD STORES IN NEW MARKETS to enhance growth and increase overall market
  share.

  Due to sufficient capital resources, we were able to maintain our capital
expenditure priorities while allocating the majority of our spending towards new
store growth.  In order to retain flexibility, at January 28, 1995 only $367
million was committed for future capital expenditures.

  The Corporation's financing strategy is to ensure liquidity and access to 
capital markets, to control the amount of floating rate debt and to maintain a 
balanced spectrum of maturities.  Within these parameters, we seek to minimize
our cost of borrowing.

  A key to the Corporation's liquidity and capital market access is maintenance
of strong investment grade debt ratings.  Our long-term debt ratings remained at
A+, A3 and A from Duff & Phelps, Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively.
Our commercial paper debt ratings remained at D-1+, P-2 and A-1 from these same
firms, respectively.  Additional liquidity is provided by a total of $1 billion
in committed lines of credit.  Further lines may be put in place in 1995.

  In 1994, in addition to internally-generated funds, the Corporation's debt
increased $251 million, net of investments, to fund cash needs. During 1993 and
1992, internally-generated funds were sufficient to meet the Corporation's cash
needs.  In 1995, we expect debt to increase by a greater amount than 1994 as we
fund our store expansion and continued growth of the accounts receivable
portfolio.

                             PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
                  (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


SHAREHOLDER RETURN

  Management's primary objective is to maximize shareholder value over time.
This is accomplished through a combination of dividend income and share price
appreciation while a prudent and flexible capital structure is maintained.

  On this basis our total return to shareholders in 1994 was approximately 7%.
During this same period the total return on the Standard & Poor's 500 was
approximately 1%, while many large retailers experienced negative returns.

GENERATING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

  We manage a portfolio of three retail concepts, each of which is uniquely
positioned for our guests.  In addition, each fills a unique role in support of
our primary objective.  Target is our largest and fastest growing format.  We
believe Mervyn's holds great promise to significantly improve its performance
over the next several years.  Our Department Store Division produces substantial
cash flow in excess of its capital reinvestment requirements.

  The internal measurement we will begin to use in 1995 to evaluate performance
and guide our capital investment decisions is a form of Economic Value Added(R)
(EVA(R)).  EVA(R) is after-tax operating profit less a capital charge for all
investment employed.  The capital charge is our after-tax cost of debt and
equity capital which has been adjusted for the age of our stores, recognizing
that mature stores naturally have higher returns than newly opened stores.  When
EVA(R) is positive we believe we are generating value which will flow to our
shareholders.  We generated positive EVA(R) in 1994, 1993 and 1992, and expect
continued improvement in 1995.  A significant portion of executive incentive
compensation will be tied to achievement of targeted levels of annual EVA(R).

  During 1994 and in previous years, we used Return on Investment (ROI) as the
internal measurement tool.  ROI was 8.5%, 8.3% and 8.9% for 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES

  We believe that managing our business with a focus on EVA(R) will assist us in
achieving our objective of a compound growth in earnings per share of 15% per
year over time.  In 1994, earnings per share were $5.52, representing a 16%
increase over 1993.  We intend to produce these results over time, while
maintaining a year-end debt ratio in the range of 45% to 65%.  We continued to
operate in this range in 1994, ending the year with a debt ratio of 57%.

                                INTERNAL CREDIT
                  (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


  Internal credit strategically supports our core retail operations and, in
itself, has been profitable.  By expanding our credit operations we not only
earned an attractive return on credit, but retail operating profit was also
enhanced through incremental sales.

  The credit operations have different performance characteristics than our
retail operations.  Because of the stability of returns, our credit operation's
can support a debt ratio of 88%, which is similar to a finance company.  This
higher leveraging rate results in a 6% after-tax cost of capital for our credit
operations as compared to 10% for our retail operations.

- ---------------------------------------------------

  In 1994, the operating profit of our credit operations increased to $170
million due primarily to improved finance charge revenues and late fees.  The
credit operations after-tax returns were greater than the credit cost of
capital, resulting in a continued increase in positive EVA(R).  The following
table illustrates the results of our credit operations:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Average accounts receivable balance        $1,504  $1,329  $1,298
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Merchant fees represent the sales discount fees charged to our retail
operations.  Deferred billing fees represent charges for carrying non-revenue
earning revolving balances.  Both the merchant and deferred billing fees are
intercompany transfer prices that are eliminated in consolidation.  Operating
expenses, measured on an all-inclusive basis, represent expenses for granting
and operating credit.

  In 1995, we will finalize the consolidation of the credit operations, which
will provide efficiencies as well as lower overall operating expenses.
Recognizing credit's strategic support of our core retail operations, credit
revenue and operating profit continue to be recorded in each of the operating
divisions results.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

  In 1993, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the use of the
liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes.  Prior to this, income
taxes were calculated according to SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which was superseded by SFAS No. 109.  The cumulative and 1993 effects of the
adoption were not significant.  Prior-year financial statements have not been
restated.  Also with this adoption the financial reporting deductibility of the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) preferred stock dividends earned was
reduced to shares allocated to participant accounts versus all outstanding ESOP
shares.

ADVERTISING COSTS

  Advertising costs, included in selling, publicity and administrative expenses,
are expensed as incurred and were $604 million, $494 million and $437 million
for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Primary earnings per share equal net earnings, less dividend requirements on
ESOP preferred stock (net of tax benefits in both 1994 and 1993 related to
unallocated shares associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 109), divided by the
average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during
the period.

  Fully diluted earnings per share are computed based on the average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.  The
computation assumes conversion of the ESOP preferred stock into common stock.
Net earnings also are adjusted for the additional expense required to fund the
ESOP debt service (net of tax benefits in both 1994 and 1993 related to
unallocated shares associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 109), which results
from the assumed replacement of the ESOP preferred stock dividends with common 
stock dividends.

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

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)


CASH EQUIVALENTS

  Cash equivalents represent short-term investments with a maturity of three
months or less at the time of purchase.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

  Accounts receivable are written off when the required payments have not been
received for six consecutive months.  The allowance for doubtful accounts was
$46 million and $35 million at year-end 1994 and 1993, respectively.


INVENTORIES

  Inventories and the related cost of sales are accounted for by the retail
inventory accounting method using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis and are
stated at the lower of LIFO cost or market.  Under this method, the cost of
retail sales, as reported in the Consolidated Results of Operations, represents
current cost, thereby reflecting the effect of changing prices.  The cumulative
LIFO provision was $61 million and $80 million at year-end 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

  In 1993, Mervyn's and DSD adopted internally-generated price indices utilized
in the LIFO calculation to determine retail price changes.  Target had
previously adopted an internally-generated price index.  These internal indices
capture the inventory valuation impact of lower retail prices resulting from
value-pricing strategies.  Previously, Mervyn's and DSD used the Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Department Store Inventory Price Index to estimate retail price
changes.  This change generated a pre-tax LIFO credit of $77 million, or $.63
per share in 1993, which represented a major portion of the total year credit.
The cumulative effect of this change and the impact for any year prior to 1993
was not determinable.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

  Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful
lives.  Buildings and improvements are depreciated over eight to 55 years.
Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over three to eight years.  Accelerated
depreciation methods generally are used for income tax purposes.


ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

  Outstanding drafts included in accounts payable were $352 million and $239
million at year-end 1994 and 1993, respectively.


LEASES

  Assets held under capital leases are included in property and equipment and
are charged to depreciation and interest over the life of the lease.  Operating
leases are not capitalized and lease rentals are expensed.  Rent expense on
buildings, classified in buying and occupancy, includes percentage rents which
are based on a percentage of retail sales over stated levels.  Total rent
expense was $123 million, $100 million and $94 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

  Most of the long-term leases include options to renew, with terms varying from
five to 30 years.  Certain leases also include options to purchase the property.
Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable lease agreements
existing at the end of 1994 were:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  Commitments for the purchase of real estate, construction of new facilities,
remodeling of existing facilities and other equipment purchases over the next
year were approximately $367 million at January 28, 1995.

  The Corporation is exposed to claims and litigation arising out of the
ordinary course of business. Management, after consulting with legal counsel,
believes that the presently identified claims and litigation will not have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation's results of operations or its
financial condition taken as a whole.

                 (Millions of Dollars, Except Per Share Data)



LINES OF CREDIT


  At year-end, two revolving credit agreements totaling $1 billion were
available from various lending institutions.  There were no balances outstanding
at January 28, 1995 or January 29, 1994.  A fee is paid for the availability
under these agreements and the Corporation may borrow at various specified
rates.  Fees paid under these agreements were $1 million in 1994 and $2 million
each in 1993 and 1992.


LONG-TERM DEBT


  At January 28, 1995, $447 million of notes payable were outstanding, all of 
which was classified as long-term debt as it was supported by the Corporation's
revolving credit agreement, which expires in 1999.  Beginning in 1994, notes
payable are classified as long-term, provided the term of the related credit
agreement exceeds one year and to the extent any unused commitments thereunder
equal or exceed the amount of notes payable outstanding.  The average amount of 
notes payable outstanding during 1994 was $418 million at a weighted average 
interest rate 4.9%.

  The average interest rate on our total debt portfolio, excluding capital
leases, was 8.8% in 1994.

  At year end the debt portfolio was as follows:

  Required principal payments on long-term debt and notes payable over the next
five years, excluding capital lease obligations, are $204 million in 1995, $68
million in 1996, $100 million in 1997, $170 million in 1998 and $449 million in
1999.

LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

  In 1994, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements which
effectively exchange fixed interest rates for variable interest rates on $175
million of long-term debt without the exchange of underlying principal. The
interest rate swaps were entered into to manage the portfolio mix of fixed and
floating rate debt, within established parameters. The difference to be paid or
received varies as short-term interest rates change and is accrued and
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The initial terms of the
agreements range from one to three years. Market risks arise from the movements
in interest rates. The Corporation's credit risk is limited to the fair market
value of the interest rate swaps. During 1994, the Corporation terminated fixed
interest rate swaps at a premium of $22 million. The premium is being amortized
into interest expense through 1999. At January 28, 1995, the unamortized premium
was $19 million.

  Subsequent to year-end, the Corporation issued $150 million of long-term debt
at 7.5%, maturing in 1999. The proceeds from the issuance were used for general
corporate purposes.

  The fair value of long-term debt and interest rate swaps was estimated using
discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Corporation's current incremental
interest rates for similar types of financial instruments.  The carrying value
of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to its short maturity.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

  The Corporation has a stock option plan for key employees.  Grants have
included stock options, performance shares and beginning in 1993, restricted
stock awards.  Options have included Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified
Stock Options or a combination of the two.  Twelve months after the grant date
25% of a majority of options granted become exercisable with another 25% after
each succeeding 12 months.  These options are cumulatively exercisable and
expire no later than 10 years after the date of the grant.  Stock options are
awarded at fair market value on the grant date.  When exercised, proceeds are
credited to common shareholders' investment and no expense is incurred.

  Beginning in 1993, performance shares earned and restricted stock awarded
generally vest at the end of a four-year period, at which time common stock is
issued and placed in escrow, subject to further restrictions.  Prior to 1993,
performance shares earned were paid in cash and common stock.  Compensation
expense on performance shares was recorded based on the current market price of
the Corporation's common stock and the extent to which certain earnings and
return on investment goals were met relative to an established group of retail
competitors.  Compensation expense on restricted stock was recorded based on the
current market price of the Corporation's common stock.  Performance share and
restricted stock award expense was $2 million in 1994, less than $1 million in
1993 and $3 million in 1992.

  The number of shares of unissued common stock reserved for future grants under
the plan was 2,961,931 at the end of 1994 and 3,106,901 at the end of 1993.

PENSION PLANS

  The Corporation has three defined benefit pension plans which cover all
employees who meet certain requirements of age, length of service and hours
worked per year.  The benefits provided are based upon years of service and the
employee's compensation.

  Contributions to the pension plans, which are made solely by the Corporation,
are determined by an outside actuarial firm.  To compute net pension cost, the
actuarial firm estimates the total benefits which will ultimately be paid to
eligible employees and then allocates these costs to service periods.

  The period over which unrecognized pension costs and credits are amortized,
including prior service costs and actuarial gains and losses, is based on the
remaining service period for those employees expected to receive pension
benefits.

SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN

  The Corporation sponsors a defined contribution employee benefit plan.
Employees who meet certain eligibility requirements of age, length of service
and hours worked per year, can participate in the plan by investing up to 15% of
their compensation.

  The Corporation's match equals 100% of each employee's contribution up to 5%
of each participant's total compensation, within ERISA limits.  The
Corporation's contribution to the plan is invested in the ESOP.

  In 1989, the Corporation lent $379 million to the ESOP at a 9% interest rate
with an estimated maturity of 15 years.  Proceeds from the loan were used by the
ESOP to purchase 438,353 shares of Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock of
the Corporation.  The original issue value of the ESOP preferred stock of
$864.60 per share is guaranteed by the Corporation.

  The Corporation's contributions to the ESOP, plus dividends paid on all
preferred stock held by the ESOP, are used to repay the loan principal and
interest. Cash contributed to the ESOP was $50 million in 1994 and $61 million
each in 1993 and 1992.  Dividends earned on shares held by the ESOP were $24
million each in 1994, 1993 and 1992.  The dividends on allocated preferred stock
are paid in additional shares of preferred stock.  Benefits expense, calculated
based on the shares allocated method, was $33 million each in 1994 and 1993 and
$28 million in 1992.

  Upon a participant's termination, the Corporation is required to purchase the
preferred stock in exchange for common stock at the current market price. At
January 28, 1995, 226,890 shares of the ESOP preferred stock were allocated to
participants and had a fair value of $202 million.


POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS

  Certain health care benefits are provided for retired employees.  Employees
eligible for retirement become eligible for these benefits if they meet minimum
age and service requirements and agree to contribute a portion of the cost.  The
Corporation has the right to modify or terminate these benefits.

for fiscal 1995.  The rate is assumed to decrease incrementally to 6% in the
year 2000 and remain at that level thereafter.  The health care cost trend rate
assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.  For example, a 1%
increase in the health care trend rate would increase the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by $5 million at year-end 1994 and the net
periodic cost by $1 million for the year.  The discount rate used in determining
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8 1/2% for 1994, 7 1/4%
for 1993 and 8 1/2% for 1992.

  During 1994 and 1993, the Corporation changed certain actuarial assumptions
used in the calculation of its projected benefit obligation for the
postretirement health care benefits.  The net effect of these changes on future
years' expense is not expected to be significant.

CREDIT CARD SUBSIDIARY

  Retailers National Bank (the Bank), a national credit card bank and a wholly
owned subsidiary, was chartered on January 7, 1994.  The Bank, at inception,
acquired the outstanding accounts receivable of DSD and Target.  During 1994,
the Bank acquired the outstanding accounts receivable of Mervyn's.  The Bank
issues and services the operating divisions' proprietary credit cards.  In
September 1994, the Bank participated an 80% undivided interest of its accounts
receivable to another wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the
Affiliate).  The accounts receivable and all related income and expenses of the
Bank and the Affiliate are included in each operating division's results.

   Net earnings for the Bank on a stand-alone basis, before intercompany
eliminations, were $69 million in 1994 and insignificant in 1993.  The following
are condensed balance sheets for the Bank.

QUARTERLY RESULTS (Unaudited)

   The same accounting policies are followed in preparing quarterly financial
data as are followed in preparing annual data.  Costs directly associated with
revenues, such as cost of goods sold and percentage rent on leased stores, are
allocated based on revenues.  Certain other costs not directly associated with
revenues, such as benefit plan expenses and real estate taxes, are allocated
evenly throughout the year.
                                        
The table below summarizes results by quarter for 1994 and 1993:

</TABLE>

(a) Gross profit is revenues less cost of retail sales, buying and occupancy.
    The LIFO provision, included in gross profit, is adjusted each quarter for
    estimated changes in year-end retail inflation rates, inventory levels and
    markup levels. A final adjustment is recorded in the fourth quarter for the
    difference between the prior quarters' estimates and the actual total year
    LIFO provision.

(b) Earnings per share are computed independently for each of the quarters
    presented. The sum of the quarters may not equal the total-year amount due
    to the impact of changes in average quarterly shares outstanding.

(c) Dayton Hudson Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York Stock
    Exchange and Pacific Stock Exchange. At March 24, 1995 there were 11,287
    shareholders of record and the common stock price was $71.25 per share.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dayton Hudson Corporation


  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dayton Hudson
Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 28, 1995 and January 29, 1994, and
the related consolidated results of operations, cash flows and common
shareholders' investment for each of the three years in the period ended January
28, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dayton Hudson
Corporation and subsidiaries at January 28, 1995 and January 29, 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended January 28, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

  As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, in 1993
the Corporation changed its method of estimating retail price indices used in
its LIFO inventory valuation for Mervyn's and the Department Store Division.
