DOLLAR TREE, INC. • 2008 ANNUAL REPORT
27
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dollar Tree, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dollar Tree, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company)
as of January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’
equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended
January 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). 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 assess-
ing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the over-
all financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2009 and February 2, 2008, and the results of their oper-
ations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended January 31, 2009, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, effective February 4, 2007.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Dollar Tree, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2009, based on crite-
ria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 26, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
