The Retail segment represents the results of the Company-owned Field of Dreams® retail stores. As of June 30, 2003, the Company owned and operated six stores.

 

The Franchise Operations segment represents the results of the Company’s franchise program. The Company is in the business of selling Field of Dreams® retail store franchises in the United States and generates revenues through the sale of those franchises and continuing royalties.

GENERAL

 

As used in this Form 10-QSB “we”, “our”, “us” and “Dreams” refer to Dreams, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

 

Dreams, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Utah Corporation which was formed in April 1980. The Company operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries with business operations in franchising, manufacturing and distribution, and recently retail operations. Dreams Franchise Corporation (“DFC”) is in the business of selling Field of Dreams® retail store franchises and generates revenues through the sale of those franchises and continuing royalties. There are currently 26 Field of Dreams® franchise stores operating. The manufacturing and distribution business is conducted through Dreams Products, Inc. (“DPI’) and through the Company’s Farley Art division, which is the Company’s entry into original art and reproductions of sports personalities and events. DPI is a wholesaler and manufacturer of sports memorabilia products and acrylic cases. DPI employs the trademark “Mounted Memories.” DPI pays annual fees to

Major League Baseball and the National Football League which officially licenses DPI’s baseball and football memorabilia products, respectively. Through The Greene Organization, the Company is engaged in the representation and marketing of professional athletes. In March 2002, we entered into the company-owned retail store business with the purchase of two existing Field of Dreams® franchises through Dreams Retail Corporation. We currently own and operate six retail stores.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

 

Revenues. Total revenues decreased 17.1% from $4.1 million in the first three months of fiscal 2003 to $3.4 million in the same period of fiscal 2004 due primarily to a decrease in manufacturing and distribution revenues as a result of a sluggish economy and the discontinuance of a product line (bobblehead dolls) that generated significant revenue in the same quarter last year, partially offset by an increase in revenues generated through our company-owned retail stores.

 

Manufacturing and distribution revenues decreased 22.9% from $3.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2003 to $2.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2004, due primarily to the July 2002 discontinuance of a product line (bobblehead dolls) which generated $375,000 in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. The product line had a relatively short life (about 12 months) and generated considerable revenues and profits during that timeframe. Numerous manufacturers began entering the marketplace driving the profitability of the projects down making it less appealing to continue the effort. The life of the product line was within the Company’s expectation as we viewed the product line as “hot product” and were relatively at the front end at the height of the product’s popularity.

 

In addition to the discontinuance of the bobblehead product line, sales generated through our Mounted Memories wholesale/manufacturing division were down approximately 10%, or $267,000, due primarily to the sluggishness of the economy. The decrease is a result of reduced transactions as the division was able to maintain its historical gross margin percentage.

 

Additionally, during the current year quarter the Company moved its primary warehousing and manufacturing facility which is used by most of the Company’s divisions. There were significant disruptions in our operations which had an impact on our overall sales and profitability. The Company moved from its previous facility of about 23,000 square feet to the new 50,000 square foot facility which will allow for greater efficiencies in our operations. We received the certificate of occupancy on April 8, 2003 and completed our move on June 22, 2003. During the same time of our move, we converted our accounting system to a new, stronger platform which will better serve the Company for years to come. This conversion, along with the necessary training of all users, also had an impact on our operations and affected the sales process.

Table of Contents

Retail operations revenues increased significantly from $198,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to $496,000 in the current year quarter. We operated two retail stores during the first fiscal quarter last year versus six stores this year. Subsequent to July 2002 the Company acquired four previously franchised Field of Dreams® stores which provided $251,000 in incremental revenue over the prior year quarter when the stores were operated as franchises and the Company only realized royalty revenue.

 

We experienced a 24.2% increase in revenues for the two stores that were owned and operated by the Company during both periods. We achieved the increase as a result of having a little more than a year’s experience in operating company owned stores (we acquired these two initial stores in March 2002 from an individual franchise owner) and being able to determine the proper product mix, pricing structure and developing the customer base of each store over that timeframe.

 

Franchise operations revenues were $229,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2003 compared to $242,000 in the same quarter last year. The slight reduction in revenue principally relates to decreased royalty revenue associated with the Company’s acquisition of four previously franchised stores after July 2002, partially offset by the recognition of franchise fee revenue associated with the opening of a new franchise store during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 (no franchise stores opened during the first quarter of fiscal 2003).

 

The Company realized $98,000 in net management fee revenues in the three months ending June 30, 2003 versus $298,000 in the same period last year. The decrease relates to one significant athlete marketing event in April 2002 that generated $179,000 in net management fees.

 

Costs and expenses. Total cost of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 was $1.77 million versus $2.15 million in the same quarter last year, a 17.7% decrease. The decrease relates to a decrease in consolidated sales.

 

Cost of sales of manufacturing/distribution products were $1.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2004 versus $2.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2003. As a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues, cost of sales was approximately 60% in both periods. Retail cost of sales increased approximately $88,000 and directly relates to the Company owning and operating six retail stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2004 versus only two stores in the same quarter last year.

 

Operating expenses increased from $1.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2003 to $1.9 million in the same period this fiscal year. The increase relates primarily to increased operating expenses associated with operating six retail stores in the current year quarter versus only two stores last year ($214,000 increase).

 

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was comparable in both fiscal quarters and was $41,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 versus $40,000 last year.

Table of Contents

Provision for income taxes. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $147,000 during the current year quarter due to a financial loss as opposed to income tax expense in the same quarter last year of $94,000 associated with a financial profit. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 40%.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The balance sheet as of June 30, 2003 reflects working capital of $5.8 million versus working capital of $6.4 million one year earlier.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $234,000, compared to $279,000 at June 30, 2002. Net accounts receivable at June 30, 2003 were $1.6 million compared to $1.9 million at June 30, 2002.

 

Cash used in operations amounted to $1.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2004, compared to $439,000 used in operations in the same period of fiscal 2003. The cash used in operations in the current year quarter mostly relates to an investment in inventory ($506,000), an increase in accounts receivable as a result of timing of collections ($333,000), a decrease in accounts payable ($359,000) and the net loss during the quarter of $221,000.

 

The amount outstanding on our line of credit, which is classified in the financing section of the Statement of Cash Flows, increased by approximately $1.8 million for the three months ending June 30, 2003. Outstanding borrowings against our line of credit were $3.8 million at June 30, 2003. The line of credit is used for working capital purposes. As of August 10, 2003, the Company’s availability under the line of credit was approximately $1.2 million. The line of credit is collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories. The line of credit matures in November 2003 and the Company believes it will be able to renew its line of credit.

 

In July 2003 the lending institution with which the Company maintains its line of credit loaned the Company $325,000 through a four year installment loan with monthly principal and interest payments. The interest rate is a floating rate based on adding a fixed interest charge of 2.40% to the thirty day “Dealer Commercial Paper Rate” (3.40% at June 30, 2003). The proceeds of the loan were used to reduce the Company’s line of credit.

 

We plan on expanding our retail store model in time for the 2003 holiday season. We have identified up to six new locations that we would like to open Field of Dreams® retail stores by November 1, 2003 and anticipate that we will enter into lease agreements with as many as six of these new stores over the next 30 days. We have evaluated the necessary capital requirements of these stores and, on average, each store requires about $100,000 start up capital. These funds are used to build the store out and to purchase inventory not already owned by the Company. The timing for payment of the majority of these purchases will have standard vendor terms and anticipate that we will be generating revenue in the new store locations prior to due dates for many of the fixed asset/inventory expenditures.

The Company believes its current available cash position, taking into consideration the current availability under the line of credit, coupled with its cash forecast for the year and periods beyond, is sufficient to meet its cash needs on both a short-term and long-term basis. The balance sheet has a strong working capital ratio and the Company’s long-term debt obligations require payments of approximately $30,000 per month. The Company’s management is not aware of any known trends or demands, commitments, events, or uncertainties, as they relate to liquidity which could negatively affect the Company’s ability to operate and grow as planned.
