INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT

Board of Directors and Stockholders

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries as of November 2, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the 13 week and 39 week periods ended November 2, 2003 and November 3, 2002, and of cash flows for the 39 week periods ended November 2, 2003 and November 3, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of PETsMART, Inc. and subsidiaries as of February 2, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 4, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2003 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTE 1 — GENERAL:

     PETsMART, Inc., including subsidiaries (the “Company” or “PETsMART”), is North America’s leading provider of food, supplies, accessories and professional services for the lifetime needs of pets, and offers fish, birds, reptiles and small animals. As of November 2, 2003, the Company operated 634 retail stores. The Company offers a broad line of products for all the life stages of pets and is the nation’s largest provider of high-quality grooming and pet training services. Through its strategic relationship with Banfield, The Pet Hospital^TM, PETsMART makes full-service veterinary care available in more than half its stores. Through its direct marketing channels, PETsMART is a leading mail order catalog and e-commerce retailer of pet and equine products and supplies.

     PETsMART’s accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature), necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

     Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest January 31.

     For further information, refer to the financial statements and related footnotes for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2003, included in the Company’s Form 10-K (File No. 0-21888), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2003.

NOTE 2 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

     Intangible assets consisted solely of trademarks that have an estimated useful life of 15 years. Changes in the carrying amount for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003, were as follows (in thousands):

     Amortization expense for intangible assets was $244,000 during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003. The Company estimates the amortization expense to be approximately $81,000 for the remainder of the year. For fiscal years 2004 through 2008, the Company estimates the amortization expense to be approximately $325,000 each year.

NOTE 3 – RESERVE FOR CLOSED STORES:

     The Company continuously evaluates the performance of its retail stores and periodically closes those that are under-performing. Reserves for future rental payments on closed stores and terminated subleases are established in the period the store is closed, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” The costs for future rental payments associated with closed stores are calculated by using the net present value method, at a risk-free interest rate, over the remaining life of the lease, net of expected sublease income.

     The activity related to the closed store reserve, recorded in deferred rents and other liabilities, is as follows (in thousands):

     In 1996, the Company recorded a restructuring charge associated with closing certain stores. In addition, in 2001, the Company recorded a restructuring charge associated with closing certain administrative offices and restructuring the Company’s direct marketing channels, which included PETsMART.com and two branded catalogs. The remaining liability associated with these restructuring charges at November 2, 2003, was approximately $1,473,000 and was related to future lease costs. The Company has combined that reserve with its other store closing reserves for purposes of the reconciliation.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

     In March 2003, the Board of Directors extended the term of the purchase of our common stock (“Purchase Program”) for an additional three years through March 2006, and the authorized amount of annual purchases to $35,000,000. The Company’s policy on the purchase of its common stock is to make market purchases when the price is advantageous and as cash flow allows, to maintain appropriate liquidity. During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003, the Company purchased 505,500 shares of its common stock for $12,375,000 million, or an average price of $24.48 per share.

NOTE 5 – COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     The income tax expense related to the foreign currency translation adjustment was approximately $976,000 and $2,230,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003, respectively. The income tax expense related to the foreign currency translation adjustment was approximately $180,000 and $277,000 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 3, 2002, respectively.

NOTE 6 – STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS:

     During the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2003, the Company issued approximately 579,000 shares of restricted stock to certain officers pursuant to the provisions of the PETsMART, Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company recorded gross deferred compensation of approximately $8,766,000 with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. Deferred compensation was based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. Such deferred compensation will be amortized ratably over a four-year term. As of November 2, 2003, approximately 570,000 shares of restricted stock were outstanding, which will vest on the fourth year anniversary of the date of the award, provided the officer is continuously employed through that anniversary.

     At the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on June 26, 2003, the 1995 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated, and renamed the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The amendments to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan include an increase of 7,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance, an extension of the term to August 31, 2007, a minimum exercise price for all options granted be equivalent to the fair market value on the date of the grant, a cap of 20% on awards that may be granted below fair market value on the date of grant and the awards subject to the cap shall have a cumulative weighted average vesting period of at least three years. The Company may grant under the PETsMART, Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Plan and the PETsMART, Inc. 2003 Equity Incentive Plan either incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or other stock awards to purchase up to 24,653,411 shares of common stock. These grants are made to employees, including officers, consultants or directors of the Company, at fair value at the date of the grant.

     As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), the Company applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, in recording compensation expense for grants of equity instruments to employees.

     The Company has equity and stock option incentive plans and an employee stock purchase plan. The Company accounts for those plans under APB 25, and related interpretations. No compensation cost for the stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company records deferred compensation expense for the restricted stock ratably over the four-year term.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per common share if the Company had applied the fair-value-based method of SFAS 123 to record compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchases (in thousands, except per share data).
