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 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’
equity and comprehensive income, and cash fl ows for each of the fi scal years in the three year period ended
January 29, 2011. These consolidated fi nancial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated fi nancial 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 fi nancial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the fi nancial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and signifi cant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
fi nancial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the fi nancial position of the Company as of January 29, 2011 and January 30, 2010, and the results of their opera-
tions and their cash fl ows for each of the years in the three year period ended January 29, 2011, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
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 fi nancial reporting as of January 29, 2011, 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 March 17, 2011 expressed an unqualifi ed opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over fi nancial reporting.
