        our
        founding in 1986, we have become the leading operator of discount variety
        stores
        offering merchandise at the fixed price of $1.00. We believe the variety
        and
        quality of products we sell for $1.00 sets us apart from our competitors.
        At
        January 28, 2006, we operated 2,914 single-price point stores under the names
        of
        Dollar Tree, Dollar Bills and Dollar Express.</font></div>

        1986, we have evolved from opening primarily mall-based stores ranging between
        1,500 and 2,500 selling square feet to opening primarily strip shopping
        center-based stores averaging 10,000 to 15,000 selling square feet. In the
        past
        five years, we have modified our average store size to reflect what we believe
        is our optimal store size of between 10,000 and 12,500 square feet. Our current
        store size reflects our expanded merchandise offerings and improved service
        to
        our customers. At December 31, 2001, we operated 1,975 stores in 37 states.
        At
        January 28, 2006, we operated 2,914 stores in 48 states. Our selling square
        footage increased from approximately 10.1 million square feet in December
        2001
        to 23.0 million square feet in January 2006. Our store growth since 2001
        has
        resulted from opening new stores and completing mergers and acquisitions.
        We
        centrally manage our store and distribution operations from our corporate
        headquarters in Chesapeake, Virginia. </font></div>

        We
        strive to exceed our customers' expectations over the variety and quality
        of
        products that they can purchase for $1.00 by offering items that we believe
        typically sell for higher prices elsewhere. We buy approximately 60% of our
        merchandise domestically and import the remaining 40%. Our domestic purchases
        include closeouts. We believe our mix of imported and domestic merchandise
        affords our buyers flexibility that allows them to consistently exceed the
        customer's expectation. In addition, direct relationships with manufacturers
        permit us to select from a broad range of products and customize packaging
        and
        product sizes and package quantities that meet our customers' needs.

        larger stores, which appeal to a broader demographic mix, carry more consumable
        merchandise than smaller stores. We have also added freezers and coolers

        approximately 200 stores in 2005 and plan to add them to approximately 250
        more
        Dollar Tree stores in 2006. As a result of our larger store size and the

        Expanding our customer base is important to our growth plans. We plan to
        continue to stock our new stores with the ever-changing merchandise that
        our
        current customers have come to appreciate. In addition, we are opening larger
        stores that contain more basic consumable merchandise to attract new customers.
        Consumable merchandise typically leads to more frequent return trips to our
        stores resulting in increased sales. The presentation and display of merchandise
        in our stores are critical to communicating value to our customers and creating
        a more exciting shopping experience. We believe our approach to visual
        merchandising results in high store traffic, high sales volume and an
        environment that encourages impulse purchases.</font></div>

        strong
        and efficient distribution network is critical to our ability to grow and

        maintain a low-cost operating structure. We opened two new distribution centers
        in 2004, Ridgefield, Washington and Joliet, Illinois, while replacing our
        Chicago distribution center. We currently operate nine distribution centers.
        We
        believe, these distribution centers in total are capable of supporting
        approximately $4.5 billion in annual sales. We expect to continue to add
        distribution capacity to support our store opening plans, with the aim of
        remaining approximately one year ahead of our distribution needs. Based on
        current plans, we will not need to add any distribution capacity until at
        least
        2007. New distribution sites are strategically located to reduce stem miles,
        maintain flexibility and improve efficiency in our store service areas.

        include closeout merchandise, convenience and the quality of merchandise
        offered
        to the customer. Though we are a fixed-price point retailer, we also compete
        with mass merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart and Target, and regional discount
        retailers. In addition, several mass merchandisers and grocery store chains
        carry "dollar store" or &#8220;dollar zone&#8221; concepts in their stores, which will
        increase competition. Our sales and profits could be reduced by increases

                  center is a 665,000 square foot facility that can be expanded to

        net
        sales are derived from the sale of merchandise. Two major factors tend to
        affect
        our net sales trends. First is our success at opening new stores or adding
        new
        stores through acquisitions. Second, sales vary at our existing stores from
        one
        year to the next. We refer to this change as a change in comparable store
        net
        sales, because we compare only those stores that are open throughout both
        of the
        periods being compared. We include sales from stores expanded during the
        year in
        the calculation of comparable store net sales, which has the effect of
        increasing our comparable store net sales. The term 'expanded' also includes
        stores that are relocated. </font></div>

        fiscal
        2005, we increased our selling square footage by approximately 13%. Of the
        2.6
        million selling square foot increase in 2005, approximately 0.5 million was
        added by expanding existing stores. The increase in selling square footage
        fell
        slightly below our planned square footage growth of 14%-16% as we closed
        more
        stores than planned in fiscal 2005 and our average new store size was slightly
        below target. The average size of our stores opened in 2005 was approximately
        10,000 selling square feet (or about 12,400 gross square feet). In 2006,
        we
        expect to open stores slightly smaller than in 2005. These stores generate
        higher sales and operating income per store than our smaller stores and we
        believe that they create an improved shopping environment that invites customers
        to shop longer and buy more.</font></div>

        fiscal 2005, we experienced a decrease in comparable store net sales of 0.8%.
        This had a negative effect on sales as we had planned to have comparable
        store
        net sales to be flat or slightly positive for 2005. Our comparable store
        net
        sales results were positively affected by the addition of 0.5 million selling
        square feet due to expanded and relocated stores during the year. The decrease
        in comparable store net sales was the result of a decline of 2.6% in the
        number
        of transactions, partially offset by an increase of 1.9% in transaction size.
        We
        believe comparable store net sales were primarily affected by the impact
        of
        higher fuel costs, which leave our customers with less disposable income,
        causing them to make fewer shopping trips and the shift in the timing of
        Easter
        from April 11 in 2004 to March 27 in 2005. Most retailers have the ability
        to
        increase their merchandise prices or alter the mix of their merchandise to
        favor
        higher-priced items in order to increase their comparable store net sales.
        As a
        fixed-price point retailer, we do not have the ability to raise our prices.
        Generally, our comparable store net sales will increase only if we sell more
        units per transaction or experience an increase in the number of transactions.

        2005,
        we put initiatives in place that we believe are helping to offset some of
        the
        effect that higher fuel costs are having on our sales, including increased
        advertising of featured products and continued expansion of forms of payment
        accepted by our stores. Currently, over 2,300 of our stores accept debit
        cards,
        including over 1,400 stores which began accepting debit cards beginning with
        the
        roll-out in May 2005. We began to see positive effects from these initiatives
        in
        the second half of 2005 and believe that they will help increase comparable
        store net sales, despite continued high fuel costs. </font></div>

        experienced a slight shift in the mix of merchandise sold to more consumables,
        which have lower margin, in 2005. We believe that higher fuel costs in 2005,
        which left our customers with less disposable income, contributed to the
        shift
        to more consumables as our customers bought more consumable and everyday
        items
        as opposed to our other merchandise categories. The shift in mix to more
        consumables is also the result of the roll-out of freezers and coolers to
        approximately 200 stores in 2005. As we continue to roll-out freezers and
        coolers to approximately 250 more stores in 2006, we expect to continue to
        see
        the pressure on margins in 2006. However, we believe that this will enable
        us to
        increase sales and earnings in the future by increasing the number of shopping
        trips made by our customers. </font></div>

        expect
        the substantial majority of our future net sales growth to come from square
        footage growth resulting from new store openings and expansion of existing
        stores. We expect the average size of new stores opened in fiscal 2006 to
        be
        approximately 9,200 selling square feet per store (or about 11,400 gross
        square
        feet). We believe this size allows us to achieve our objectives in the markets
        in which we plan to expand. Larger stores take longer to negotiate, build
        out
        and open and generally have lower net sales per square foot than our smaller
        stores. While our newer, larger stores have lower sales per square foot than
        older, smaller stores, they generate higher sales and operating income dollars
        per store and create an improved shopping environment that invites customers
        to
        shop longer and buy more. </font></div>

        allocation to the stores. We believe that it has enabled us to better control
        our inventory, which has resulted in more efficient distribution and store
        operations. Using the data from this system to better plan our inventory
        purchases has helped us reduce inventory per store by almost 12% as of January

        and
        diluted earnings per share of $1.68 to $1.80. We also expect a shift in the
        seasonality of our earnings in 2006. Easter is 20 days later in the current
        year, positively impacting the first quarter of 2006, and there is an extra
        shopping day between Thanksgiving and Christmas, which will impact the fourth
        quarter as compared to the prior year. Also, the retail calendar provides
        us
        with one extra week of sales in fiscal 2006. This guidance for 2006 is based

        12%-14% selling square footage growth, which includes the acquisition of
        138

        the fourth </a>quarter of 2004, we recognized a
        one-time non-cash, after-tax adjustment of approximately $5.7 million, or
        $0.05
        per diluted share, to reflect the cumulative impact of a correction of our
        accounting practices related to leased properties. Of the aforementioned
        amount,
        approximately $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, related to 2004.
        This
        adjustment was made in light of the views of the Office of the Chief Accountant
        of the Securities and Exchange Commission, expressed in a letter of February
        7,
        2005, to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding
        the
        application of generally accepted accounting principles to operating lease
        accounting matters. Consistent with the then current industry practices,
        we had
        reported straight-line expenses for leases beginning on the earlier of the
        store
        opening date or the commencement date of the lease in prior periods. This
        had
        the effect of excluding the pre-opening or build-out period of our stores
        (generally 60 days) from the calculation of the period over which we expense
        rent. In addition, amounts received as tenant allowances or rent abatements
        were
        reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction to store leasehold improvement
        costs instead of being classified as deferred lease credits. The adjustment
        made
        to correct these practices does not affect historical or future net cash
        flows
        or the timing of payments under related leases. Rather, this change affected
        the
        classification of costs on the consolidated statement of operations and cash
        flows by increasing depreciation and decreasing rent expense, which is included
        as cost of sales. In addition, fixed assets and deferred liabilities increased
        due to the net cumulative unamortized allowances and abatements. These new
        lease
        accounting practices had an approximate $0.02 per diluted share negative
        effect
        on 2005 earnings. </font></div>

        Net

        increase in net sales primarily to new stores in 2005 and 2004 (which are
        not
        included in our comparable store net sales calculation) partially offset
        by a
        slight decrease in comparable store net sales of 0.8% in 2005. Our comparable
        store net sales are positively affected by our expanded and relocated stores,
        which we include in the calculation, and, to a lesser extent, are negatively
        affected when we open new stores or expand stores near existing stores. Our
        stores larger than 10,000 gross square feet continue to produce our best
        comparable store net sales results.</font></div>

        million
        increase in net sales primarily to new stores in 2004 and 2003 which are
        not
        included in our comparable store net sales calculation and to a slight increase
        in comparable store net sales of 0.5% in 2004. Our comparable store net sales
        are positively affected by our expanded and relocated stores, which we include
        in the calculation, and, to a lesser extent, are negatively affected when
        we
        open new stores or expand stores near existing stores. If not for the positive
        effect of relocated stores, our comparable store net sales results would
        have
        been negative in 2004. </font></div>

        $88.6
        million increase in cash provided by operating activities in 2005 was primarily
        due to an approximate 12% decrease in inventory per store at January 28,
        2006
        compared to January 29, 2005. The inventory per store decrease is the result
        of
        an initiative to lower backroom inventory levels and increase inventory turns
        through a reduction in current year purchases. The aforementioned net cash
        provided was partially offset by a decrease in deferred tax liabilities chiefly
        as a result of the elimination of bonus depreciation.</font></div>

        was the result of a $34.2 million decrease in net purchases of investments
        resulting from more cash used to repurchase stock in the current year. The
        net
        purchases of investments in the current year include $29.9 million of
        investments that are in a restricted account to collateralize certain long-term
        insurance obligations. These investments replaced higher cost stand-by letters

        we
        entered into a five-year $450.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, under

        2004, we entered into a five-year Revolving Credit Facility (the Facility).
        The
        Facility provides for a $450.0 million line of credit, including up to $50.0
        million in available letters of credit, bearing interest at LIBOR, plus 0.475%.
        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. We used availability under this
        Facility to repay the $142.6 million of variable-rate debt and to purchase
        short-term investments. As of January 28, 2006, we had $250.0 million
        outstanding on this Facility.</font></div>

        In May
        1998, we entered into an agreement with the Mississippi Business Finance
        Corporation under which it issued $19.0 million of variable-rate demand revenue
        bonds. We used the proceeds from the bonds to finance the acquisition,
        construction and installation of land, buildings, machinery and equipment
        for
        our distribution facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi. At January 28, 2006,
        the
        balance outstanding on the bonds was $19.0 million. These bonds are due to
        be
        repaid in June 2018. The bonds do not have a prepayment penalty as long as
        the
        interest rate remains variable. The bonds contain a demand provision and,
        therefore, outstanding amounts are classified as current liabilities. We
        pay
        interest monthly based on a variable interest rate, which was 4.6% at January
        28, 2006.</font></div>

        of our

        million and $25.0 million. Under the $19.0 million agreement, as amended,
        we pay
        interest to the bank that provided the swap at a fixed rate. In exchange,
        the
        financial institution pays us at a variable-interest rate, which is similar
        to

        Under

        Cost

        of
        inventories at cost and the resulting gross margins are computed by applying
        a
        calculated cost-to-retail ratio to the retail value of inventories. The retail
        inventory method is an averaging method that has been widely used in the
        retail

        counts are taken and reconciled to the general ledger. Our physical inventory
        counts are generally taken between January and August of each year; therefore,
        the shrink accrual recorded at January 28, 2006 is based on estimated shrink

        such
        as property taxes and utilities, and certain other expenses. Our freight
        and

        highest sales periods are the Christmas and Easter seasons. Easter was observed
        on April 11, 2004, March 27, 2005 and will be observed on April 16, 2006.
        Due to
        the 20-day longer Easter selling season in 2006, we expect a larger portion
        of
        our annual earnings to be realized in the first quarter of 2006 as compared
        to
        2005. We generally realize a disproportionate amount of our net sales and
        a
        substantial majority of our operating and net income during the fourth quarter.
        In anticipation of increased sales activity during these months, we purchase
        substantial amounts of inventory and hire a significant number of temporary
        employees to supplement our continuing store staff. Our operating results,
        particularly operating and net income, could suffer if our net sales were

        In the
        past, we have experienced annual increases of as much as 33% in our
        trans-Pacific shipping rates due primarily to rate increases imposed by the
        trans-Pacific ocean carriers. Currently, trans-Pacific shipping rates are
        negotiated with individual freight lines and are subject to fluctuation based
        on
        supply and demand for containers and current fuel costs. We imported 18,838
        forty-foot equivalent containers in 2005 and expect this number to increase
        in
        fiscal 2006 proportionately to sales growth. As a result, our trans-Pacific
        shipping costs in fiscal 2006 may increase compared with fiscal 2005 when
        we
        renegotiate our import shipping rates effective May 2006. We can give no
        assurances as to the amount of the increase, as we are in the early stages
        of
        our negotiations. </font></div>

        we
        estimate that the costs resulting from increased fuel surcharges may approximate
        $2.0 to $3.0 million in 2006. We expect to offset a portion of this potential
        increase with improved operational efficiencies.</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">&#160;</font></div>

        share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options,
        to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.
        The
        Company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires
        expensing of all share-based payments granted on or after January 29, 2006

        for all awards granted to employees that were unvested as of January 29,

        December 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
        the
        Company approved the acceleration of the vesting date of all previously issued,
        outstanding and unvested options under all current stock option plans, including
        the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2004
        Executive Officer Equity Plan, effective as of December 15, 2005. At the
        effective date, almost all of these options had exercise prices higher than
        the
        actual stock price. The Company made the decision to accelerate vesting of
        these
        options to give employees increased performance incentives and to enhance
        current retention. This decision also eliminated non-cash compensation expense
        that would have been recorded in future periods following the Company&#8217;s adoption
        of FAS 123R on January 29, 2006. Future compensation expense has been reduced
        by
        $14.9 million, over a period of four years during which the options would
        have
        vested, as a result of the option acceleration program. This amount is net

        compensation expense of $150,000 recognized in fiscal 2005 for estimated

        approximately a $0.4 million change in the amount paid or received under
        the
        terms of the interest rate swap agreements on an annual basis. Due to many
        factors, management is not able to predict the changes in fair value of our
        interest rate swaps. The fair values are the estimated amounts we would pay
        or
        receive to terminate the agreements as of the reporting date. These fair
        values
        are obtained from an outside financial institution.</div>

      Company recognized a one-time non-cash, after-tax adjustment of $5,751, or
      $0.05
      per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2004 to reflect the cumulative
      impact of a correction of its accounting practices related to leased properties.
      Of the aforementioned amount, approximately $1,230, or $0.01 per diluted share,
      related to fiscal 2004. Consistent with industry practices, in prior periods,
      the Company had reported its straight line expenses for leases beginning on
      the
      earlier of the store opening date or the commencement date of the lease. This
      had the effect of excluding the pre-opening or build-out period of its stores
      (generally 60 days) from the calculation of the period over which it expenses
      rent. In addition, amounts received as tenant allowances were reflected in
      the
      balance sheet as a reduction to store leasehold improvement costs instead of
      being classified as deferred lease credits. The adjustment made to correct
      these
      practices does not affect historical or future net cash flows or the timing
      of
      payments under related leases. Rather, this change affected the classification
      of costs on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and cash
      flows
      by increasing depreciation and decreasing rent expense, which is included in
      cost of sales. In addition, fixed assets and deferred liabilities increased
      due
      to the net cumulative unamortized allowances and abatements. </font></div>

      December 15, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of
      the
      Company approved the acceleration of the vesting date of all previously issued,
      outstanding and unvested options under all current stock option plans, including
      the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2004
      Executive Officer Equity Plan, effective as of December 15, 2005. At the
      effective date, almost all of these options had exercise prices higher than
      the
      actual stock price. The Company made the decision to accelerate vesting of
      these
      options to give employees increased performance incentives and to enhance
      current retention. This decision also eliminated non-cash compensation expense
      that would have been recorded in future periods following the Company&#8217;s adoption
      of FAS 123R on January 29, 2006. Future compensation expense has been reduced
      by
      $14,881, over a period of four years during which the options would have vested,
      as a result of the option acceleration program. This amount is net of
      compensation expense of $150 recognized in fiscal 2005 for estimated forfeiture
      of certain (in the money) options.</font><font id="TAB2" style="COLOR: black; LETTER-SPACING: 9pt">&#160;</font></div>

        Company issued stock options to certain former shareholders of an acquired
        entity in exchange for non-competition agreements and a consulting agreement.
        These assets are being amortized over the legal term of the individual
        agreements. Certain of these agreements were amortized over five years and
        as of
        January 28, 2006, are fully amortized. One remaining agreement is being
        amortized over a 10-year period. In addition, in 2003, the Company entered
        into
        non-competition agreements with former executives of Greenbacks, Inc. which
        are
        being amortized over five years (see <a href="#footnote10">Note 10</a>).

      September 30, 1999, the Company sold certain retail store leasehold improvements
      to an unrelated third party and leased them back for a period of seven years.
      This transaction was accounted for as a financing arrangement. In 2004, the
      Company exercised the right to purchase the leasehold improvements at September
      30, 2005. In order to exercise this right, the Company&#8217;s lease obligation
      increased by $200. As part of the original transaction, the Company received
      proceeds of $20,880, net of financing costs, and an $8,120 11% note receivable.
      During 2005, the Company paid $130, which satisfied the note receivable of
      $11,605 and the remaining lease obligation of $11,735.</font></div>

      assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
      it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred taxes will
      not be realized. Based upon the availability of carrybacks of future deductible
      amounts to the past two years&#8217; taxable income and management's projections for
      future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are
      deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the existing
      deductible temporary differences will reverse during periods in which carrybacks
      are available or in which the Company generates net taxable income. However,
      there can be no assurance that the Company will generate any income or any
      specific level of continuing income in future years.</font></div>

      March
      2004, the Company entered into a five-year Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

      including up to $50,000 in available letters of credit, bearing interest at
      LIBOR, plus 0.475%. The Facility also 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 the $142,568 of variable-rate debt and to purchase short-term, state
      and
      local government-sponsored municipal bonds. The Company&#8217;s $150,000 revolving
      credit facility (Old Facility) was terminated concurrent with entering into

      consolidated balance sheet totaling $727, were charged to interest expense

      January 28, 2006, the Company was party to a derivative instrument in the form
      of an interest rate swap that does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment
      pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 133 because it contains a knock-out
      provision. The swap creates the economic equivalent of a fixed rate obligation
      by converting the variable-interest rate to a fixed rate. Under this interest
      rate swap, the Company pays interest to a financial institution at a fixed
      rate,
      as defined in the agreement. In exchange, the financial institution pays the
      Company at a variable interest rate, which approximates the floating rate on
      the
      variable-rate obligation, excluding the credit spread. The interest rate on
      the
      swap is subject to adjustment monthly. No payments are made by either party
      for
      months in which the variable-interest rate, as calculated under the swap
      agreement, is greater than the "knock-out rate." The following table summarizes
      the terms of the interest rate swap:</font></div>

      2001,
      the Company entered into a $25,000 interest rate swap agreement (swap) to manage
      the risk associated with interest rate fluctuations on a portion of the
      Company's variable interest entity debt. In March 2004, the Company repaid
      all
      of the variable interest entity debt with borrowings from the Facility (see
<a href="#footnote5">Note 5</a>). The Company redesignated this swap to borrowings
      under the Facility. This redesignation does not affect the accounting treatment
      used for this interest rate swap. The swap creates the economic equivalent
      of
      fixed-rate debt by converting the variable-interest rate to a fixed-rate. Under
      this agreement, the Company pays interest to a financial institution at a
      fixed-rate of 5.43%. In exchange, the financial institution pays the Company
      at
      a variable-interest rate, which approximates the floating rate on the debt,
      excluding the credit spread. The interest rate on the swap is subject to
      adjustment monthly consistent with the interest rate adjustment on the debt.
      The
      swap expired in March 2006.</font></div>

      29, 2003, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
      Greenbacks, Inc. (Greenbacks). The results of Greenbacks&#8217; operations are
      included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since that date.
      Greenbacks was a privately held company operating 100 stores in 10 western
      states and one expandable 252,000 square foot distribution center in Salt Lake
      City. As a result of this acquisition, the Company extended its geographical
      reach to include 47 states compared with 41 states prior to the acquisition.
      In
      addition, this acquisition provided the Company with an expandable distribution
      infrastructure in the Rocky Mountain area of the country. The aggregate purchase
      price was approximately $100,000 and was paid in cash. In addition, the Company
      incurred approximately $800 in direct costs associated with the acquisition.
