Reiterates 2007 revenue and EBITDA guidance of $70—$75 million and $7.5—$8.0 million, respectively

Woonsocket, RI, August 9, 2007 – Summer Infant, Inc. (“Company”)(Nasdaq: SUMR, SUMRU, SUMRW), formerly KBL Healthcare Acquisition Corp. II (“KBL”), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007 for Summer Infant (USA), Inc., Summer Infant Europe Limited and Summer Infant Asia Ltd (collectively, the “Summer Operating Companies”). The Company has included and refers below solely to the Pro Forma operating performance of the Summer Operating Companies on a stand alone basis (excluding the combination with KBL) for the second quarter of 2007 and for the second quarter of 2006, as this is the clearest comparison of the underlying operations year over year. The full year 2006 results for both the Summer Operating Companies and KBL may be found in the Form 8-K filing of Summer Infant, Inc. dated March 12, 2007.

The Summer Operating Companies’ net revenues for the second quarter of 2007 were $18.68 million, a 45.4% increase from $12.85 million in the second quarter of 2006. This growth was driven primarily by expanded product listings at existing customers and penetration into a larger number of stores within customers’ networks. New product introductions, including initial shipments from the soft goods division, and the addition of new customers also contributed to the revenue growth in the quarter. Video monitors continue to be the strongest growth category.

The Summer Operating Companies’ gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 was $7.26 million, a 46.6% increase compared to $4.95 million in the second quarter of 2006. Gross margins for the second quarter of 2007 increased approximately 40 basis points to 38.9% from 38.5% in the second quarter of 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to improved product mix, the continued emphasis on cost reduction programs related to the best selling items and a number of quality improvement initiatives that resulted in reduced product returns.

The Summer Operating Companies’ selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses excluding depreciation and amortization as well as stock based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2007 were $5.41 million, or 29.0% of net revenues, compared to $3.79 million, or 29.5% of net revenues, in the second quarter of 2006. The year-over-year decrease as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to leveraging fixed costs on higher sales.

The Summer Operating Companies’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.85 million, representing a 58.6% increase from the $1.16 million reported in the second quarter of 2006. The EBITDA margin in the quarter increased to 9.9% of net revenues compared to 9.1% in the year ago quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net revenues were approximately $35.85 million, an increase of 37.2% as compared to $26.13 million for the first six months of 2006. EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were approximately $3.50 million, or 9.8% of net revenues, a 45.3% increase from $2.41 million, or 9.2% of net revenues, during the first six months of 2006.


“Our sales performance this quarter highlights the success and growth opportunity of our business model,” commented Jason Macari, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Summer Operating Companies. “We continue to drive sales by developing innovative products and improved designs in both new and core product categories, expanding shelf space at our key retail customers, and forming new retail partnerships to help build out the Summer Infant brand. In addition, we were encouraged by the decrease in SG&A as a percent of sales in the quarter, as we begin to see the benefits of leveraging our fixed cost structure over a larger sales base.”

Based on customer commitments to date and updated sales data at the retail level, the Company is affirming previously issued guidance for the full year 2007, which calls for net revenues of $70 to $75 million and EBITDA of $7.5 to $8.0 million, before any acquisitions.

Mr. Macari stated, “We are very pleased to report solid performance for the first half of the year and remain on track to hit our year end guidance. Specifically, we expect sales in the third quarter to increase slightly from the second quarter due to the continued benefit of mid-year product introductions, including shipments of soft goods, as well as the addition of new customers. While retailer commitments for 2008 product placements will not be finalized until the end of the summer, initial customer feedback has been very positive regarding our product line up this season.”

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $4.2 million of cash and $4.2 million of debt on the balance sheet. The debt is primarily related to the construction of the new corporate headquarters.
