Exhibit 99.1
 
News release via Canada NewsWire, Toronto 416-863-9350

    Attention Business Editors:
    CoolBrands provides status update

    MARKHAM, ON, June 13 /CNW/ - CoolBrands International Inc. (TSX: COB)
provides this status update pursuant to the Ontario Securities Commission
Policy 57-603.
    The Company advises of the following development since its last Status
Update. The Company has now changed its independent auditor from BDO Seidman
LLP to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will service the
Company from its Toronto, Ontario offices, which is expected to provide a more
efficient level of service now that the accounting functions of the Company
are located solely in Markham, Ontario. There were no reservations in BDO
Seidman LLP's reports in connection with the audits of the two most recently
completed fiscal years of the Company, nor have there been any "reportable
events" within the meaning of National Instrument 51-102.
    The Company remains under a management cease trade order related to
CoolBrands' securities against persons who have been directors, officers or
insiders of CoolBrands as a result of the Company's failure to file the
required certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer under Multilateral Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in
Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings. Such order does not generally affect the
ability of persons who have not been directors, officers or insiders of
CoolBrands to trade CoolBrands' securities.
    Until such time as the management cease trade order is lifted, CoolBrands
intends to satisfy the alternative information guidelines recommended by
Ontario Securities Commission Policy 57-603 ("OSC Policy 57-603").
    There are no other changes otherwise required to be disclosed by the
Company under OSC Policy 57-603.
