Item 5. Other Events
Retailers National Bank, N.A. (the "Servicer") has revised its methodology for calculating annualized monthly net charge-off rates, as reported in item VIII of the monthly Servicer's report, to reflect a 360-day year and 30 days in each month, as all months contain the same number of billing cycles. This revised methodology more appropriately reflects the underlying trend of monthly net charge-off rates and eliminates the impact caused by its previous methodology, which used a 360-day year and 35 days in the months of March, June, September and December and 28 days in the remaining 8 months (consistent with Target Receivables Corporation's fiscal calendar). The Servicer believes that the impact of this revision on the three-month average net charge-off rate is not meaningful.
To illustrate the impact of this change in methodology, a schedule of monthly net charge-off rates, 3-month average net charge-off rates, monthly portfolio yields and 3-month average portfolio yields for the period January 2001 through December 2002on both an "as reported" and "as revised" basisis filed as Exhibit 99 to this Report.
This change will be effective with the Servicer's report to be filed in February 2003, relating to trust performance for the month of January 2003.
