Dreams, Inc. Announces Financial Results

For Fiscal Year 2007

FY 2007 Revenue Increased 31% to a Record $56 Million

Fourth Quarter Revenue Increased 27% to a Record $14.6 Million

PLANTATION, FL, July 9, 2007 – Dreams, Inc. (AMEX:DRJ) announced today its financial results for the full fiscal year 2007 and its fiscal fourth quarter. For the fiscal year (“FY”) ending March 31, 2007, revenue increased 31% to a record $56 million compared to $42.7 million reported in FY 2006. For the quarter, revenues grew 27% to $14.6 million, up from $11.5 million for the quarter last year.

Chief Executive Officer Ross Tannenbaum commented, “This was a great year for Dreams, Inc. (“Dreams”). With five consecutive years of healthy double-digit growth in revenue and significant improvement in our bottom line, we are clearly pleased with our results from our on-going operations.

“For FY 2007 pretax income was $1.4 million, versus $4.3 million in FY 2006, and net income for this year was nearly $1.0 million versus $2.5 million last year. For the fourth quarter this year, net losses before taxes were $774,000, versus a $2.3 million dollar gain for the fourth quarter last year. Net loss for the fourth quarter this year was $447,000, versus $1.3 million in net income for the fourth quarter last year.

“However, last year, our results were enhanced by our recording a $3.6 million insurance claim proceeds in the fourth quarter as ‘other income’, so the true comparison to measure our results from on-going operations requires us to exclude the extraordinary gain. This now has our FY2007 pretax income growing to over $1.4 million, versus $654,000 in FY2006, and our fourth quarter pretax losses down around 43% to $774,000 this year from approximately $1.4 million in pretax losses in the fourth quarter of last year. Net income after taxes increased to nearly $1.0 million, versus $388,000 in FY2006, and net losses after taxes were reduced 44% to $447,000 this year, versus $801,000 in net losses after taxes for the fourth quarter last year.

“It is encouraging that we were able to stem these historical fourth quarter losses in spite of additional operating expenses associated with the post-acquisition costs of integrating the Las Vegas based operations from Pro-Stars, Inc., the start-up costs associated with beginning our Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance and expenses associated with due-diligence towards a strategic acquisition that ultimately, did not close. In fact, the trend towards profitability for our fiscal fourth quarter is underway.

“Driven by strong demand for our products and services, annual revenue from retail operations increased 57% to $39.4 million. The upward momentum was due, in part, to our offering of nearly 65,000 products including officially licensed memorabilia of the NFL,


MLB, NBA, NHL, NCAA and NASCAR, among items from more than 600 teams and over 2,000 different athletes through our company-owned Field of Dreams stores and our two principal web sites, FansEdge.com and ProSportsmemorabilia.com. Annual revenue from manufacturing and distribution was approximately $15 million for FY2007, versus $16 million last year.

Improving blended margins by going from manufacture to retail.

 

 

Targeting additional Las Vegas based Field of Dreams® locations, as this area of the country has provided the highest volumes for our products and services.

 

 

Continuing to pursue a dual pronged strategy for growth; that includes both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.

“Key components of our organic growth strategy include building brand recognition; improving sales conversion rates both in our stores and web sites; exploring additional distribution channels for our products; and lastly, by cross pollinating corporate assets amongst our various operating divisions.

“Our strategic acquisition initiatives will focus on e-commerce companies, brick and mortar retailers, other manufacturers of licensed sports and entertainment products and collectibles, companies that can offer incremental distribution channels for our products and companies whose value can be enhanced by placing them under the Dreams corporate umbrella. Hence, our ability to evaluate potential acquisition candidates and consummate these transactions will remain an integral part of our business model.

“Our overall objective is to establish a market leading totally licensed, sports and entertainment products enterprise and true multi-channel retailer. That is, to service the customer by every possible means necessary in an efficient and professional manner by driving and building our brands through on-line, brick and mortar, catalogue, and in-bound and out-bound call centers.

“All in all, it has been a productive year and we feel that we are well positioned to become the consolidator in this highly fragmented industry,” concluded Ross Tannenbaum.
