DOLLAR TREE STORES, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the year ended January 31, 2004 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed April 13, 2004. The results of operations for the quarter ended May 1, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 29, 2005.

 

In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of May 1, 2004 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The January 31, 2004 balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

 

2. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

 

In March 2004, the Company entered into a five-year Revolving Credit Facility (the Facility). The Facility provides for a $450.0 million revolving line of credit, including up to $50.0 million in available letters of credit, bearing interest at LIBOR, plus 0.475%. The Facility bears an annual facilities fee, calculated as a percentage, as defined, of the amount available under the line of credit and an annual administrative fee payable quarterly. The Facility, among other things, requires the maintenance of certain specified financial ratios, restricts the payment of certain distributions and prohibits the incurrence of certain new indebtedness.

 

The Company used availability under the Facility to repay $142.6 million of variable-rate debt and to purchase short-term, government-sponsored municipal bonds. The Company’s existing $150.0 million revolving credit facility (Old Facility) was terminated concurrent with entering into the Facility. The net debt issuance costs related to the Old Facility and the variable-rate debt, included in “other assets, net” on the January 31, 2004 accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet totaling $0.7 million, were charged to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the quarter ended May 1, 2004. As a result of the repayment of the variable-rate debt, the $25.0 million, $10.0 million and $5.0 million interest rate swaps previously designated to the variable-rate debt were redesignated to new borrowings under the Facility. This redesignation does not affect the accounting methods used for the individual interest rate swaps. As of May 1, 2004, there was $250.0 million outstanding under this Facility.

3. NET INCOME PER SHARE

 

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:

 

     Quarter Ended

(In thousands, except per share data)


   May 1, 2004

   May 3, 2003

Basic net income per share:

             

Net income

   $ 35,150    $ 32,795
    

  

Weighted average number of shares outstanding

     113,814      114,258
    

  

Basic net income per share

   $ 0.31    $ 0.29
    

  

Diluted net income per share:

             

Net income

   $ 35,150    $ 32,795
    

  

Weighted average number of shares outstanding

     113,814      114,258

Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants (as determined by applying the treasury stock method)

     853      273
    

  

Weighted average number of shares and dilutive potential shares outstanding

     114,667      114,531
    

  

Diluted net income per share

   $ 0.31    $ 0.29
    

  

 

At May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003, 1,555,255 and 5,514,622 stock options, respectively, are not included in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company currently applies the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations in accounting for its fixed stock option plans. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted the disclosure only requirements of SFAS No. 123.

 

If the accounting provisions of SFAS No. 123 had been adopted, the Company’s net income and net income per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the following table:
