COOLBRANDS ANNOUNCES LATE FILING OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Toronto, Canada, October 4, 2006 – CoolBrands International Inc. (“CoolBrands”) (TSX: COB.A) announces today that it does not expect to meet the deadline under Canadian securities legislation of November 29, 2006 for filing its audited financial statements, related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and annual information form (“AIF”) for its financial year ended August 31, 2006. This delay is primarily due to two factors:

• Liquidity constraints caused by the Company’s ongoing losses from operations compounded by seasonal contraction of its borrowing base and other restrictions on the Company’s line of credit.

• Uncertainties related to previously disclosed events including the existing defaults under the Company’s credit agreements and recently filed litigation requiring additional analysis that CoolBrands and its auditor do not expect to complete prior to the filing deadline. 

The Company is endeavoring to generate incremental liquidity in the short term through salary deferrals by certain members of senior management and the divestiture of some of its business units and other assets. However, there is no assurance that any particular divestiture transaction will be consummated in a timely manner or at all. The Company is also reducing operating costs through efforts that include personnel reductions.

CoolBrands expects to complete the necessary work for the audited financial statements, MD&A and AIF and file these reports by January 29, 2007.

Pending the filing of its annual audited financial statements, MD&A and AIF, CoolBrands intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) Policy 57-603 and Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) Staff Notice 57-301. The Company will request the applicable Canadian securities regulators that a management cease trade order related to CoolBrands’ securities be imposed against some or all of the persons who have been directors, officers or insiders of CoolBrands. If granted, such an order would not generally affect the ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of CoolBrands to trade CoolBrands’ securities.

Canadian securities regulators may impose an order that all trading in securities of CoolBrands cease, either permanently, or for such period as is specified in the order, if CoolBrands does not file its audited financial statements, MD&A and AIF by January 29, 2007.
