3. Business Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments as identified by information reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision makers (CODM) and is comprised of our CEO and SVP Finance of Dreams, Inc. The divisions whose customers are reseller's of our goods have their results reflected in the manufacturing/distribution segment. The retail segment is made up of many locations for our inventory. Revenues are achieved by moving inventory through our sales channels to reach and expand our customer base. These channels include the Internet, stores and our catalogues. Hence, customers who are the end users of our goods have their results reflected in our retail segment.

The Manufacturing/Distribution segment represents the manufacturing and wholesaling of sports memorabilia products and acrylic display cases. Sales are handled primarily through in-house salespersons that sell to specialty retailers and other distributors in the United States. The Company's manufacturing and distributing facilities are located in the United States. The majority of the Company's products are manufactured in these facilities.

The Retail Operations segment is multi-channel and features numerous Internet sites, catalogues, kiosks, and some traditional brick and mortar stores:

Internet
