Dreams, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

1Q2008 Revenues up 33% to Record $10.5 Million

Retail Revenues up 90% to $7.8 Million

PLANTATION, FL, August 14, 2007 – Dreams, Inc. (AMEX:DRJ) announced today its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. Revenues were up 33% from $7.9 million in the same quarter last year, to a record $10.5 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2007. The Company recorded a net loss of $873,000 compared to a net loss of $351,000 during the same quarter last year.

Chief Executive Officer Ross Tannenbaum commented, “We are pleased with our continued levels of growth as we execute our business plans and evolve into the premier retailer of licensed sports products. For the quarter, our largest contributor of growth continues to be our retail revenues; including both traditional brick & mortar via our Field of Dreams® brand; combined with our e-commerce results featuring FansEdge.com and ProSportsMemorabilia.com. These retail assets produced another outstanding quarter with a 90% growth rate as retail revenues for the quarter were up from $4.1 million last year to $7.8 million this quarter. These first quarter results have us on target for achieving our financial goals for the year.”

“In choosing reinvestment and scale over profits, we experienced some one-time expenses related to the listing of our shares on the American Stock Exchange and the early re-financing of our senior debt. These qualifying events were strategies employed to yield long-term benefits to the marketability and liquidity of our common shares, and our ability to fund our growth and strategic acquisitions, respectively. Other investments that began in the period was the purchasing of a new POS system, an upgrade to our ERP accounting software, hiring of additional skilled IT personnel including our Company’s first Chief Information Officer, the designing of our first FansEdge brick & mortar store, and higher legal and accounting fees as a result of increased M & A activity as we completed 5 acquisitions in the last several months.”

“Manufacturing/distribution revenues were $3.5 million for the first quarter last year versus $2.5 million for the current quarter ending June 30, 2007. This variance in our manufacturing/distribution revenues for the period was due to our selling more of our products to our own retail outlets as these “inter-company sales” get eliminated during the consolidation of our overall financial results.”

“All in all, we believe we are on pace to establish a market leading totally licensed, sports and entertainment products enterprise,” concluded Ross Tannenbaum, Dreams’ President & CEO.
