The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Dollar Tree, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dollar Tree, Inc. (the Company) as of January 28, 2012
and January 29, 2011, 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 28, 2012. ese 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). ose 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 assessing 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 January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended January 28, 2012, 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 financial reporting as of January 28, 2012, 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 15, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
