Dreams, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2010 Results

Internet Revenues up 39.2% to $11.0 Million

Total Revenues Up 11.4% to $16.5 Million

PLANTATION, FL, May 14, 2010 – Dreams, Inc. (NYSE Amex: DRJ) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

First Quarter 2010

Revenues – For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, revenues were up 11.4% to $16.5 million, compared to $14.8 million generated in the same quarter last year.

Before elimination of intercompany sales, revenues increased 13.0% to $17.3 million, compared to $15.3 million for the same quarter in 2009.

EBITDA* – For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were a loss of $.6 million, a 40% improvement from $1.0 million in EBITDA losses for the same quarter in 2009.

Net – For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, net losses were $.9 million, a 10% improvement from $1.0 million in net losses for the same quarter in 2009.

Ross Tannenbaum, Dreams’ President & CEO commented, “We are pleased with the financial improvements achieved during this first quarter, which following the aftermath of the heavy-buying holiday season, has traditionally been a challenging one. In addition, we continued our trend of streamlining our Field of Dreams store count with (3) three more store closings. This brings our total to (9) nine Field of Dreams stores versus the (16) sixteen stores we had operating during this quarter last year. We experienced a slight decline in manufacturing/distribution revenues, as the Company recorded $.8 million in sales associated with a national consumer goods retailer project during this quarter last year and unfortunately, we were not able to replace these one-off revenues. We continue to add various celebrity licenses to this segment to diversify and compliment the sports items we produce.”

“Our continued focus on E-Commerce served us well as our Internet division revenues increased 39.2% to $11.0 million, versus $7.9 million for the same quarter of 2009, accounting for 67% of our consolidated revenues. This growth was led by our flagship brand, www.FansEdge.com. The Company is very excited by the additions of Seattle PI and media giant NBCSports.com to its growing web syndication portfolio. These great brands will join the likes of JCP.com, PhiladelphiaEagles.com, USAToday.com, and AOL.com to our group of web syndication partners. Our first quarter results were ahead of budget and have us on track to achieve our yearly financial goals of continued growth and increased profitability,” concluded Tannenbaum.

*EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measurement that is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate our performance. In our opinion, this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance.

This non-GAAP financial measure also facilitates management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance. We believe this non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.
