<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">To the Administrative Committee of<br>

Secaucus, New Jersey</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have audited
the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The
Children&#146;s Place 401(k) Savings Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2003
and 2002, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We conducted
our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those 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.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In our opinion,
such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December&nbsp;31, 2003 and
2002, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our audits were
conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule listed in the table of
contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor&#146;s Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan&#146;s management.&#160; Such schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2003 financial statements
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Plan&#146;s
financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. A summary of the significant accounting principles and policies
used by the Plan are as follows:</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Plan&#146;s
investments are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value
investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares
held by the Plan at year end. Participant loans are valued at the outstanding
loan balances.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Purchases and
sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded
on the ex-dividend date.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for
benefits and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.</font></p>

<p align="left" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:left;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Plan
provides for various investment options in investment securities. Investment
securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and
credit. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities
and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment
securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the
near term could materially affect participants&#146; account balances and the
amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.</font></p>
