(11) The reporting person was a co-trustee of a trust (the "Trust") which held 3,910 shares of the common stock of PriceSmart, Inc. and of which neither he nor any of his family members is a beneficiary. Although the reporting person, in his capacity as a co-trustee of the Trust, may have been deemed to beneficially own these 3,910 shares for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), he did not have any pecuniary interest in these 3,910 shares, and thus he did not beneficially own any of these 3,910 shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. On January 20, 2005, the Trust dissolved, and these 3,910 shares were distributed to the beneficiary of the Trust. This transaction is being reported on a voluntary basis.
