Exhibit No. Description
99.2 Press release dated March 11, 2004
ITEM 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On March 11, 2004, 99 Cents Only Stores (the "Company") issued a press
release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2003
and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with a copy of the press release attached
as an exhibit. The press release that was attached to the Form 8-K as Exhibit
99.2 contained two errors. It incorrectly reported (in the third paragraph)
that the Company planned to open 121 new stores in Dallas, Texas instead of the
correct number, 12 new stores in Dallas, Texas. It also incorrectly stated (in
the third paragraph under "Guidance") that the total gross margin for the second
quarter is projected in the range of 41.0% to 41.2%; this should have stated
that the total gross margin for the second quarter is projected in the range of
40.0% to 40.2%. A corrected Exhibit 99.2 is attached to this Current Report on
Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference. The information in this
Current Report on Form 8-K/A, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed
"filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any
general incorporation language in such a filing.
