                                    PART I

Item 1.     Business

            The Neiman Marcus Group Credit Card Master Trust (the "Trust") was
            formed pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
            March 1, 1995 (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") among The
            Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. ("NMG") as Servicer, its wholly owned
            subsidiary, Neiman Marcus Funding Corporation ("NMFC") as Seller,
            and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as Trustee (the "Trustee"). 
            On March 15, 1995, the Trust issued $225,000,000 aggregate
            principal amount of Class A 7.60% Asset Backed Certificates,
            Series 1995-1 (the "Class A Certificates"); $21,000,000 aggregate
            principal amount of Class B 7.75% Asset Backed Certificates,
            Series 1995-1 (the "Class B Certificates"); and $54,000,000
            aggregate principal amount of Class C Asset Backed Certificates,
            Series 1995-1 (the "Class C Certificates"), pursuant to the
            Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  The property of the Trust
            includes a pool of receivables arising under consumer revolving
            credit accounts originated by NMG.  The receivables were sold by
            NMG to NMFC pursuant to a Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as
            of March 1, 1995 between NMG and NMFC, and the receivables were
            sold by NMFC to the Trust pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
            Agreement.  The only business of NMFC is to perform its
            obligations as Seller in connection with the issuance by the Trust
            of the Class A, Class B and Class C Certificates pursuant to the
            Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing
            Agreement, and the Series 1995-1 Supplement to the Pooling and
            Servicing Agreement.

Item 5.     Market For Registrant's Common Equity
            And Related Stockholder Matters           

            The Class A and Class B Certificates are held and delivered in
            book entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust
            Company ("DTC"), a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the
            provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
            as amended.  The Certificates representing investors' interests in
            the Trust are registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of
            DTC.

            To the best knowledge of the Registrant, there is no established
            public trading market for the Certificates.

            The Class C Certificate is held by NMFC, and all of the common
            stock of NMFC is owned by NMG.  There is no public market for the
            common stock of NMFC.

Item 12.    Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management

      (a) The Class A Certificates and the Class B Certificate, which
represent investors' interests in the Trust, are registered in the name of
Cede & Co., the nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), and an
investor holding an interest in the Trust is not entitled to receive a
Certificate representing such interest except in certain limited
circumstances.  Accordingly, Cede & Co. is the sole holder of record of the
Class A and Class B Certificates, which it held on behalf of brokers, dealers,
banks and other direct participants in the DTC system at August 2, 1997.  Such
direct participants may hold Certificates for their own accounts or for the
accounts of their customers.  At August 2, 1997, the following direct DTC
participants held positions in Certificates representing interests in the
Trust equal to or exceeding 5% of the total principal amount of the
Certificates of each Class outstanding on that date:
