DREAMS, INC. ANNOUNCES SIX MONTHS AND QUARTERLY FINANCIAL RESULTS

Six month revenue up 28% to a record $32.2 million

Quarterly revenue up 30% to a record $13.7 million

PLANTATION, FL., August 14, 2008-Dreams, Inc. (AMEX:DRJ) announced today its six-months and quarterly financial results for the period ended June 30, 2008. For the six-months ended June 30, 2008, Dreams, Inc.’s (“Dreams”) total revenues increased 28%, to a record $32.2 million, versus $25.1 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the quarter, revenues rose 30%, to a record $13.7 million, compared to $10.5 million reported in the same quarter last year. Net losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1.4 million, versus $1.3 million in net losses for the same period last year. Net losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $1.1 million, versus a loss of $873,000 for the same quarter last year.

Ross Tannenbaum, Dreams’ President & CEO stated, “We were pleased to experience meaningful revenue growth from our core segments for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our manufacturing/distribution segment revenues were up 41.2%, anchored by the Orange Bowl Stadium project revenues and the addition of Schwartz Sports. Our retail revenues were up 24.7%. This blended retail rate consisted of the Internet division, continuing to provide significant growth at 42.2%, primarily through www.fansedge.com, while our store results are showing an encouraging trend by ending the six months virtually even with the comparable period, even though same store sales during the first quarter of 2008 were off 13%.

“For the three months ended June 30, 2008, our consolidated revenue growth of 30% was slightly higher than budget. Our manufacturing/distribution segment revenues were up 47.1% for the quarter, influenced by some larger corporate sales of autographed Tom Brady, Peyton & Eli Manning product and the Schwartz Sports acquisition completed August 1 of last year and therefore, not included in the comparable quarter. Our retail revenues were up 21.8%. This blended retail rate consisted of the Internet division being up 32.6%, with same store sales up slightly.

“While losses increased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, they were consistent with our internal budgets, and we remain on target to achieve our record projected financial goals of $91 million in revenues and a fourth consecutive year of increasing profitability for the twelve months ending December 31. Our business is cyclical and the second calendar quarter is typically the weakest quarter in our industry. Our historical business model generates a greater portion of our annual revenues and profits in the holiday quarter (October-December).

“This was an eventful quarter with our execution of our multi-channel retailing strategy. That is, to drive one brand via multiple channels. Specifically, we added our first FansEdge store to be cross-marketed with the incredible success this brand has enjoyed on-line. The store opened on May 21, 2008 in the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, IL and generated $100,000 in sales for the initial 40 days and continues to thrive. Additional FansEdge store locations have been identified and are targeted to open in the greater Chicago area to leverage the start of the 2008 holiday quarter.

“In addition, we recently announced the strong response we have received with the introduction of our Syndication services. Dreams Retail Solutions has rapidly built a clientele representing almost every sector of the sports industry. The prime example is Majestic Athletic, the official licensee of on-field apparel for Major League Baseball, for which we created and operate the Majestic Clubhouse Store. Other beneficiaries of our services include Pro Football Weekly, the Sporting News and Beckett. We are now positioned to grow this business through the addition of numerous sports-oriented companies looking to launch an e-commerce presence on the Internet or replace an existing online fan shop with a comprehensive, scalable e-commerce platform.

“We believe our recent investments along with investments made over the previous few years towards bringing these concepts to market, will provide Dreams with additional revenues and profits without the need for significant increases in infrastructure”, concluded Tannenbaum.
