EX-99.1 2 ex991.htm NEWS RELEASE DATED MARCH 14, 2007 News Release dated March 14, 2007
Exhibit 99.1
News release via Canada NewsWire, Toronto 416-863-9350

    Attention Business/Financial Editors:
    CoolBrands International Inc. reports financial results for the three
    months ended November 30, 2006 ("Fiscal 2007 First Quarter")

    TORONTO, March 14 /CNW/ - CoolBrands International Inc. (TSX: COB.A) (the
"Company") today announced its operating results for Fiscal 2007 First
Quarter.

    Operating results (amounts expressed in 000's, except per share data,
    reported in USD)

    The Company reported a net loss of $(4,845), or $(0.09) per basic and
fully diluted share, in the Fiscal 2007 First Quarter, which was comprised of
a net loss from continuing operations of $(7,126), or $(0.13) per basic and
fully diluted share, offset by net income from discontinued operations of
$2,281, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, which included a gain on
sale of discontinued operations of $1,679, or $0.03 per basic and fully
diluted share. The Company recorded a net loss of $(4,404), or $(0.08) per
basic and fully diluted share for the three months ended November 30, 2005
("Fiscal 2006 First Quarter"), which was comprised of a loss from continuing
operations of $(4,082), or $(0.07) per basic and fully diluted share, and a
loss from discontinued operations of $(322), or $(0.01) per basic and fully
diluted share. The Fiscal 2007 First Quarter was impacted by a non-cash charge
of $1,764 with respect to warrants issued to Mr. Michael Serruya for services
provided, which is included in selling, general and administrative expense.
    For the Fiscal 2007 First Quarter, net sales from continuing operations
decreased to $7,755, compared to $22,104 for the Fiscal 2006 First Quarter, a
64.9% decrease. The decrease was attributable to the closing of the Americana
Foods L.P. plant (the Company's 50.1% subsidiary that accounted for $50,745 in
annual net sales in Fiscal 2006 but was generating significant operating
losses) in October 2006, lack of promotion of existing products, and service
and production issues that adversely impacted sales.

    Cash and working capital

    Cash, investments, and restricted cash increased to $1,634 at
November 30, 2006, compared to $393 at August 31, 2006, principally due to the
proceeds from sales of businesses after reducing debt and paying related
expenses. The working capital deficit decreased to $(22,345) at November 30,
2006, compared to $(23,992) at August 31, 2006. The current ratio declined to
0.66 to 1.0 at November 30, 2006 from 0.75 to 1.0 at August 31, 2006.

    Business update

    During the Fiscal 2007 First Quarter, the Company completed the sale of
its dairy component segment and substantially all of its direct store door
operations ("EPFD") generating proceeds of approximately $12,636,
substantially all of which has been collected. Also, the Company sold its food
service and yogurt segments to unaffiliated third parties in January 2007. As
the result of these sales, the Company now only operates in the frozen dessert
segment. Additionally, as the result of the proceeds from these sales, the
Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the foreseeable
future. However, the Company may not be able to reduce expenses to a level
sufficient to make the Company's remaining operations profitable. The Company
is currently evaluating whether to sell its remaining assets or rebuild the
business.

    Litigation Update

    In connection with the sale of a portion of its businesses and assets,
the Company has mutually terminated the license agreements with certain
licensors. The ability of the Company to effect the termination of the
remainder of its licenses on favorable terms is uncertain. The Company was
served notice on March 12, 2007 by Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. and Godiva Brands,
Inc. alleging that the Company has breached its license agreement and the
licensor has filed a claim in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for
damages of $14 million for breach of contract plus additional damages. The
outcome and resolution of such claim is uncertain at this time.
 

    Other

    Further to the Corporation's press release dated October 4, 2006 in which
CoolBrands stated that it would not meet the statutory filing deadline for its
audited annual financial statements, related management's discussion and
analysis and annual information form for its financial year ended August 31,
2006, the Company filed its audited annual financial statements and related
management's discussion and analysis with the applicable Canadian securities
regulators on January 29, 2007. CoolBrands filed its annual information form
on February 28, 2007.
    In the Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial results
accompanying the Company's first quarter financial statements for the three
month period ended November 30, 2006, management identified certain material
weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting. As
described above, the Company has undergone a significant downsizing and has
sold or closed down a significant portion of its businesses. The Company
expects that its financial reporting will become less complicated and
management is designing processes and procedures appropriate for the
organization. As a result of the identified control weaknesses, the Company
will not be filing the certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer in respect of the Fiscal 2007 First Quarter financial
results as required by Multinational Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian
Securities Administrators.

    About CoolBrands International Inc.: CoolBrands is focused on marketing
and selling ice creams and frozen snacks under nationally and internationally
recognized brand names.
