DOLLAR TREE, INC. • 2007 ANNUAL REPORT
27
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dollar Tree, Inc. (formerly Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.):
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dollar Tree, Inc. (formerly Dollar Tree Stores,
Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 2, 2008 and February 3, 2007, 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 February 2, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsi-
bility 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
overall 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 February 2, 2008 and February 3, 2007, and the results of their oper-
ations and their cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended February 2, 2008, in con-
formity 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,
and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, effective
January 29, 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Dollar Tree, Inc.’s (formerly Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.) internal control over financial reporting as of
February 2, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated April 1, 2008
expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
