("Dollar" or the "Company") today provided updated revenue estimates with respect to its fiscal second quarter and six month period ending December 31, 2004. This estimate supersedes the guidance given in the Company's first quarter earnings call on November 4, 2004. For its fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2004, the Company expects revenues of $71.0 million to $72.0 million compared to $60.8 million for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2003. For the fiscal second quarter, the Company expects comparable store (defined as company owned stores that were open for at least 15 continuous months prior to December 31, 2004), franchised store, and document transmitter revenues to increase between 16.0% and 17.0%. For the six month period ended December 31, 2004, the Company expects revenues of $137.2 million to $138.2 million compared to $117.8 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2003. For the six month period ended December 31, 2004, the Company expects comparable store, franchised store, and document transmitter revenues to increase between 15.0% and 16.0%. The Company expects to release earnings for these periods on or before the week of February 7, 2005.

This statement is made only as of January 5, 2005 and indicates only the expectations of the Company's management as of that date. The statement supersedes any and all previous statements made by the Company regarding the matters addressed. The statement is a "forward-looking statement," cannot be guaranteed and may prove to be wrong. This outlook is based upon various assumptions, which include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the opening of 50-55 newly-constructed company-owned stores in fiscal 2005 and the opening of approximately 25 franchised stores in fiscal 2005; (2) no material change for the balance of the fiscal year in the products or services that are offered at the Company's locations as of December 31, 2004 or in the terms or procedures for offering such products and services; and (3) no material adverse results from any litigation or regulatory proceedings against the Company, either currently existing or that may arise in the future.
