ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial information of Dollar
General Corporation as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The selected historical
statement of operations data and statement of cash flows data for the fiscal years ended February
1, 2008, February 2, 2007 and February 3, 2006, and balance sheet data as of February 1, 2008
and February 2, 2007 have been derived from our historical audited consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this report. The selected historical statement of operations data
and statement of cash flows data for the fiscal years ended January 28, 2005 and January 30,
2004 and balance sheet data as of February 3, 2006 January 28, 2005, and January 30, 2004
presented in this table have been derived from audited consolidated financial statements not
included in this report.
As a result of the Merger, purchase accounting, and a new basis of accounting beginning
on July 7, 2007, the 2007 financial reporting periods presented below include the 22-week
Predecessor period of the Company from February 3, 2007 to July 6, 2007 and the 30-week
Successor period, reflecting the merger of the Company and Buck Acquisition Corp. (“Buck”)
from July 7, 2007 to February 1, 2008. Buck’ s results of operations for the period from March 6,
2007 to July 6, 2007 (prior to the Merger on July 6, 2007) are also included in the consolidated
financial statements for the periods described above, where applicable, as a result of certain
derivative financial instruments entered into by Buck prior to the Merger as further described
below. Other than these financial instruments, Buck had no assets, liabilities, or operations prior
to the Merger. The fiscal years presented from 2003 to 2006 reflect the Predecessor.
Due to the significance of the Merger and related transactions that occurred in 2007, the
2007 Successor financial information may not be comparable to that of previous periods
presented in the accompanying table.
The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by
reference to, the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Part II, Item 8
of this report and the Management’ s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations included in Part II, Item 7 of this report.
