We obtain short-term financing from time to time under our commercial paper program, a form of notes payable. There were no amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program at April 30, 2011, January 29, 2011, or May 1, 2010.

 

There were no amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program at any time during the three months ended April 30, 2011 or May 1, 2010.

 

In April 2010, TR LLC repurchased and retired the entire $900 million series of nonrecourse debt collateralized by credit card receivables, at par, that otherwise would have matured in October 2010. No gain or loss was recorded other than insignificant expenses associated with retiring this debt.

 

In addition, TR LLC has made payments to JPMC to reduce its interest in our credit card receivables as described in Note 4, Credit Card Receivables.
