DREAMS, INC. REPORTS Q1 2009 RESULTS

PLANTATION, FL., May 15, 2009 – Dreams, Inc. (AMEX:DRJ) announced today its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Revenues were off 20% to $14.8 million, from $18.5 million for the same quarter in 2008. Net losses for the period were $989,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to net losses of $240,000 for the same quarter last year.

Historically, Dreams’ business has been highly seasonal with a greater portion of our revenues and operating profits occurring in the fourth quarter. The quarter ending March 31, has traditionally been a challenging one, following the aftermath of the heavy-buying holiday season. Adding to that challenge this year was the aggressive discounting of products from numerous retailers forced to liquidate their inventories. This dynamic impacted our revenues as we chose not to participate with this strategy.

“We navigated our way through the turbulent first quarter with our business models and confidence intact, and with no erosion of our margin. These first quarter results were ahead of our internal budgets, and we believe, have us on track to attain our financial goals for the year, which is a return to profitability. We have implemented numerous corporate savings initiatives that will greatly reduce our over-head beginning in our second quarter. Some of these initiatives included a significant reduction in our workforce, management and employee wage reductions, the restructuring of many of our stores and warehouse rents, reducing capital expenditures and the re-negotiating of vendor pricing and terms. Also in the period, we continued to sign meaningful web syndication accounts that will add new on-line stores at targeted times throughout the year”, said Ross Tannenbaum, Dreams’ President & CEO.

“Our seasoned management team, premier brands, vertical model, proprietary technology, web syndication services, and design/manufacturing capabilities will allow Dreams to overcome these challenging times and separate itself from the competition,” concluded Tannenbaum.
