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 13 and 39 weeks ended October 30, 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 of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of October 30, 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.

 

Certain 2003 amounts have been reclassified for comparability with the current period presentation.

 

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 available for 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. As of October 30, 2004, there was $250.0 million outstanding under this Facility.

 

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 $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 totaled $0.7 million and are included in “other assets, net” on the January 31, 2004 condensed consolidated balance sheet. These costs were charged to interest expense during the 39 weeks ended October 30, 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.
