1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dollar Tree, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 unaudited 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 29, 2011 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 17, 2011. The results of operations for the 13 weeks and 39 weeks ended October 29, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending January 28, 2012.
In the Company’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of October 29, 2011 and October 30, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The January 29, 2011 balance sheet information was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.
