1. Management’s Representations

 

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Dreams, Inc. (“the Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K-SB, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of accounting measurements set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and reflect, in management’s opinion, all adjustments, which are of normal recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future quarters or the full fiscal year.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six and three month periods ending September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 as the Company incurred a net loss during those periods.

 

Stock options to purchase up to 4,994,809 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $0.15 to $0.25 per share were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six and three month periods ended September 30, 2004, due to their anti-dilutive effects. Stock options to purchase up to 2,650,250 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price ranging from $0.25 to $0.75 per share were not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2003, due to their anti-dilutive effects.

 

Stock Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock options issued to non-employees under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” The Company’s issuance of employee stock options is accounted for using the intrinsic value method under APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company provides disclosure of certain pro forma information as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

 

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123, the fair value of each employee option grant was estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, no dividend yield; expected volatility of 60% in fiscal 2005 and 130% in fiscal 2004, risk-free interest rates of 2% and expected holding periods of three years.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the options. The Company’s net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below had compensation cost for the stock option plans and non-qualified options issued to employees been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of SFAS 123:

per share. These options are exercisable immediately. In an event of a default under the loan, the loan is convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share. As of November 22, 2004, the outstanding balance of this loan was $1 million. The value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in this loan is $4 million due to the conversion rate upon default being less than the market value of the common stock on the date the loan agreement was entered into. Should the company default on this loan the $4 million will be expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

 

To provide the Company with additional working capital, nine senior Company employees, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, have agreed to defer all but $1 of their monthly salary effective August 1, 2004. In consideration for such deferral, each employee shall receive options to purchase common stock which the number of shares equal to the dollar amount deferred. The five year options shall be exercisable at $0.25 per share. In addition, upon payment of such accrued amounts, each employee will receive a 5% deferral bonus. As of September 30, 2004, the Company has accrued approximately $100 for such deferred salaries and bonuses and as of November 22, 2004 the amount accrued is $371. Effective November 15, 2004, the Company ceased to defer salaries from the nine senior Company employees. As of November 22, 2004, stock options to purchase up to 353,273 shares have been issued at an exercise price of $0.25 share. These options are exercisable immediately. The Company is continuing to review its operational expenses and examining ways to reduce costs on a going-forward basis.

 

The Company has agreed to amend the former Chief Financial Officer’s, stock option agreement to reduce the number of options to 250,000 from 500,000. These options have an expiration period of three years and are exercisable immediately.

 

6. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is a defendant in an action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland in an action brought by Unitas Management, Inc. Unitas Management has brought a claim against the Company for damages of up to $419, based upon an alleged breach of contract. The Company is vigorously defending such claim. On September 22, 2004 in a related ruling the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland ruled that Unitas Management did not have the authority to control the business and on October 26, 2004, the bankruptcy court heard our Motion for Summary Judgment. We believe that the amount of ultimate liability of these matters, if any, is not likely to have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity and accordingly, no accrual has been recorded as of September 30, 2004.

 

The Company is also subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, in excess of

applicable insurance coverage, is not likely to have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. However, as the outcome of litigation or other legal claims is difficult to predict, significant changes in the estimated exposures could occur, which could have a material impact on the Company’s operations.

 

7. Commitments

 

The Company is a party to certain contracts with several athletes which will require the Company to make minimum payments to these athletes over the next three years. The payments are in exchange for autographs and licensing rights on inventory items to be received in the future.

 

8. Acquisition

 

On April 1, 2004, the Company acquired certain assets of ProSports Memorabilia, Inc. (“ProSports”), in order to further support our e-commerce initiative, for an aggregate purchase price of $750. $100 was paid at closing and the remaining $650 shall be paid over a three year period, ending in March 2007. The present value of the remaining payments as of September 30, 2004 is $550. The payments are not pursuant to a note payable, not secured or subject to interest. The Company paid an additional $50 in October 2004 leaving an amount due of $500.

 

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired at the date of acquisition:

 

Purchase price

   $ 683

Current assets, net

     30

Intangible assets

     653
    

Liabilities

   $  —  

 

Primarily all of the $653 of acquired intangible assets represents indefinite lived intellectual property. The remaining amount represents intangible assets such as customer lists which have been assigned useful lives of three years.

 

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with SFAS 141 and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated based on the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired amounted to $653 and was primarily allocated to certain identifiable intangible assets which have indefinite useful lives. The results of operations of

9. New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which establishes criteria to identify variable interest entities (“VIE”) and the primary beneficiary of such entities. An entity that qualifies as a VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary. All other holders of interests in a VIE must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the VIE as well as their maximum exposure to losses as a result of involvement with the VIE. FIN 46 was revised in December 2003 and is effective for financial statements of public entities that have special-purpose entities, as defined, for periods ending after December 15, 2003. For public entities without special-purpose entities, it is effective for financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company does not have any special-purpose entities, as defined. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 150 (“SFAS 150”), “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of

 

12


Table of Contents

Dreams, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts

 

certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition,” which codifies, revises and rescinds certain sections of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (“SAB 101”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” in order to make this interpretive guidance consistent with current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and SEC rules and regulations. The changes noted in SAB 104 did not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position or consolidated cash flows.

 

On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a proposed statement, Share-Based Payment, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions (for example, stock options and awards of restricted stock) in which an employer receives employee-services in exchange for equity securities of the company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity securities. This proposal, if finalized as proposed, would eliminate use of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recording compensation expense rather than optional pro forma disclosure of what expense amounts might be. The proposal, if approved, would substantially amend FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Because of the timing of the proposal and the uncertainty of whether it will be adopted substantially as proposed, management has not completed its review of the proposal or assessed its potential impact on the Company.

 

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Six Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Six Months Ended September 30, 2003

 

Revenues. Total revenues increased 67.2% to $11.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005 from $6.7 million in the same period last year due primarily to an increase of $682 or 12.4% in manufacturing and distribution revenues and an increase of $4.3 million to $5.4 million representing a 391% increase in retail revenues. The increase in retail revenues is due to our company-owned retail stores which expanded from seven units as of September 30, 2003 to fifteen units as of September 30, 2004. In addition, during October 2003 the Company acquired FansEdge, which generated retail revenues for the Company through FansEdge.com and the Company acquired Pro Sports Memorabilia in April 2004, which generated retail revenue through Prosportsmemorabilia.com.

 

Manufacturing and distribution revenues increased from $5.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 to $6.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2005. The increase primarily is the result of the introduction of an expanded product line relating to NASCAR products which were developed throughout fiscal 2004.

 

Retail operations revenues increased significantly from $1.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 to $5.4 million in the same period this year. We operated seven retail stores during the first six months of last fiscal year versus fifteen stores this fiscal year.

Our internet retail division, which is comprised of two websites (Fansedge.com and ProSportsmemorabilia.com), began operations in October 2003 concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of FansEdge. The internet division had retail sales of $1.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 and $1.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005 for a total of $3.1 for the six months ended September 30, 2005.

 

Franchise operations revenues were $463 in the six month period ending September 30, 2003 compared to $519 in the same period this year. The 12.1% increase in revenue principally relates to increased royalty revenue.

 

The Company realized $191 in net management fee revenues in the six months ending September 30, 2003 versus $143 in the same period this year. The decrease relates to a reduction in the frequency of significant athlete marketing events in the current year period. We will continue to market opportunities for these significant events, however, we have seen a slowdown in corporate spending for these large events.

 

As a result of the forgoing events, for the six month ended September 30, 2004 the Company incurred a net loss of $860, respectively.

 

Costs and expenses. Total cost of sales for the first six months of fiscal 2004 was $3.4 million versus $6.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2005, a 76.5% increase. The increase relates to an increase in Company sales. As a percentage of total sales, cost of sales was 54.2% for the six months ending September 30, 2004 versus 50.5% for the same period a year ago. The change relates to an increase in revenue from our internet division which operates at a lower margin than retail stores.

 

Cost of sales of manufacturing/distribution products were $3.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 versus $3.0 million in the same period in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues, cost of sales was approximately 56.3% in the current year period versus 59.6% a year ago.

 

Operating expenses increased from $3.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2004 to $6.2 million in the same period this fiscal year. The increase relates primarily to incremental operating expenses associated with operating fifteen retail stores and the internet division in the current year period versus only seven stores last year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased from 53.9% to 55.2% as a result of an increase in corporate overhead in anticipation of future revenue growth.

 

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense increased due to higher levels of borrowing including the line of credit, note payable - related party, and amortization of the deferred loan costs on the related party loan.

Revenues. Total revenues increased 76.5% from $3.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 to $6.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2005 due primarily to an increase in manufacturing and distribution revenues as a result new products, and an increase in revenues generated through our company-owned retail stores.

Retail operations revenues increased significantly from $573 in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 to $2.9 million in the current year quarter. We operated seven retail stores during the second fiscal quarter last year versus fifteen stores this year and added the internet division. Our internet retail division, which is comprised of two websites (Fansedge.com and ProSportsmemorabilia.com), began operations in October 2003 concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of FansEdge. The internet division had retail sales of $1.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

 

Franchise operations revenues were $235 in the quarter ending September 30, 2003 compared to $259 in the same quarter this year. The slight increase in revenue principally relates to increased royalty revenue.

 

The Company realized $46 in net management fee revenues in the three months ending September 30, 2004 versus $93 in the same period last year.

The Company does not have any special-purpose entities, as defined. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The balance sheet as of September 30, 2004 reflects working capital of $2.8 million versus working capital of $5.8 million one year earlier.

 

At September 30, 2004, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $333, as compared to $185 at September 30, 2003. Net accounts receivable at September 30, 2004 were $1.7 million compared to $1.5 million at September 30, 2003.

 

Cash used in operations amounted to $1.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2005, compared to $1.6 million used in operations in the same period of fiscal 2004. Cash used in operations for the six months ended September 30, 2004 improved $305 over the six months ended September 30, 2003. Cash flow used in investing activities was ($480); including $200 cash paid for acquisition of Pro Sports Memorabilia. Cash generated from financing activities was $1.8 million, including the $700 of cash from note payable – related party, an increase in the borrowings against the line of credit of $1.2 million, offset by costs attributed to the repayment of certain debt facilities. As of September 30, 2004, the Company’s cash balance was $333.

 

The amount outstanding on our line of credit, which is classified in the financing section of the Statement of Cash Flows, increased by approximately $1.2 million since September 30, 2003. Outstanding borrowings against our line of credit were $5.5 million at September 30, 2004. The line of credit, which has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5.5 million, has annual renewal terms and renewed most recently in November 2003. The line of credit is used for working capital purposes and was used to fund our retail store expansion, pay for costs incurred relating to our planned acquisition of FansEdge (completed in October 2003) and ProSports Memorabilia (completed in April 2004), the move of our primary warehouse facility and the replacement of our primary accounting software. The line of credit is collateralized by the

 

20


Table of Contents

Dreams, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Amounts

 

Company’s accounts receivable and inventories. The Company is required to comply with certain annual financial ratios with respect to the line of credit. 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” (4.24% at September 30, 2004).

 

By virtue of our expansion and investment in the company-owned retail store model, the October 2003 acquisition of FansEdge and the April 2004 acquisition of ProSports Memorabilia, we have become more cyclical and reliant on the calendar fourth quarter (our fiscal 3rd quarter) for revenues and profits. As a result of such factors, the Company sought to obtain financing to satisfy its short term capital needs including the planning for the upcoming holiday season. In order to satisfy these needs, subsequent to the end of the fiscal first quarter, the Company received a convertible loan to borrow up to $1.0 million due January 15, 2005 from the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The initial advance of $700 as of September 30, 2004, was used for working capital purposes. As of November 22, 2004 the remaining $300 has been funded and used. In consideration for such loan, the Company has agreed to pay such third party interest at the rate of 12% per annum and granted five year options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. In an event of a default under the loan, the loan is convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.05 per share.

 

In addition, to provide the Company with additional working capital, nine senior Company employees, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to defer all but $1 of their monthly salary effective August 1, 2004. In consideration for such deferral, each employee received options to purchase common stock which the number of shares is equal to the amount deferred. The five year options shall be exercisable at $0.25 per share. In addition, upon payment of such accrued amounts, each employee received a 5% deferral bonus. The deferrals ceased on November 19, 2004. The Company has also begun a program to review its operational expenses and examining ways to reduce costs on a going-forward basis.

 

Our renewal of our current line of credit facility has expired in November 2004 and we are currently negotiating with our lender on an ongoing basis. There is no guarantee that our lender will renew the line of credit facility; however, the Company believes in the event our current lender would not renew our line of credit facility that we would be able to secure similar financing with a different lender. Based on the Company’s current liquidity, we are seeking additional capital from other sources. However, no assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional financing or that, if obtainable, the terms will be acceptable to us. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining additional financing, it could adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial condition.

Although there can be no assurances, the Company believes its current cash and financial forecasts for the year and periods beyond, is sufficient to meet our cash needs on both a short-term and long-term basis. The balance sheet has a favorable working capital ratio and the Company’s long-term debt obligations require payments of approximately $50 per month for the next twelve months. We have not created and are not a party to any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. However, business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, our anticipated revenue growth and operating improvements may not be realized and future borrowings may not be available under the credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.
