DREAMS, INC

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TO PROXY STATEMENT

DATED May 7, 2012

Dreams, Inc. (“Dreams”) hereby provides supplemental disclosures to its definitive proxy statement dated May 7, 2012 (the “Proxy Statement”). This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement which Dreams urges investors to read in its entirety. Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Proxy Statement. In providing these supplemental disclosures, Dreams does not in any way admit that such disclosures are material or are required by law.

The first paragraph of the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis discussion on page 34 in the “Opinion of Jefferies” section of the Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented to include the italicized language below:

Jefferies performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the present value of the free cash flows of Dreams through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 using Dreams management’s financial projections, discount rates ranging from 13.8% to 14.8%, and perpetuity growth rates ranging from 3.5% to 4.5%. For purposes of this analysis, free cash flow is defined as earnings before interest and taxes, less cash taxes, plus depreciation and amortization, and less capital expenditures and changes in net working capital. In performing this analysis, Jefferies derived Dreams’ free cash flows of $12.5 million for the remaining three quarters of 2012, and ($7.5 million), ($2.3 million), $5.3 million, $9.8 million and $12.8 million for Dreams’ fiscal years ending 2013 through 2017, respectively, from Dreams management’s EBITDA forecasts of $13.5 million for the remaining three quarters of 2012, and $20.7 million, $27.9 million, $35.5 million, $42.6 million and $49.9 million for Dreams’ fiscal years ending 2013 through 2017, respectively, and the related Dreams management’s forecasts of the components of free cash flow (as defined above) for each of those periods. For this analysis, Jefferies calculated the weighted average cost of capital for Dreams as 14.3%, based upon a cost of equity of 17.3% and an after-tax cost of debt of 2.6%, and applied a range of discount rates centered around that weighted average cost of capital. To determine the implied total equity value for Dreams, Jefferies added cash and cash equivalents and subtracted the total debt and minority interest from the implied enterprise value for Dreams. After assuming the exercise of options consistent with the treasury method (based on the option schedule provided by the management of Dreams on April 10, 2012), this analysis (which did not treat stock based compensation as a cash expense) indicated a range of implied values per share of Dreams common stock of approximately $2.57 to $3.33, compared to the consideration of $3.45 per share of Dreams common stock.

The table at the end of the second full paragraph of the section entitled “PROJECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION” starting on page 60 of the Proxy Statement is hereby supplemented to include the italicized language below:

The seventh paragraph of each of the Legal Proceedings Regarding the Merger discussions on pages 5 and 46 of the Proxy Statement are replaced with the following:

On April 27, 2012, a fourth lawsuit was filed against Dreams in the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, styled Wayne Schmertzler, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. Dreams, Inc., Ross Tannenbaum, Sam D. Battistone, Dale E. Larsson, David Malina, Steven D. Rubin, Fanatics, Inc., and Sweet Tooth Acquisition Corp., Defendants. The class action complaint filed in the Schmertzler action alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by (i) allegedly agreeing to sell Dreams, through a purportedly tainted process, for inadequate consideration, (ii) allegedly engineering a transaction to benefit themselves and not the shareholders, (iii) allegedly failing to disclose material information to shareholders, and (iv) allegedly failing to protect the interests of Dreams’ minority shareholders. In the complaint, the plaintiff also alleges that Fanatics and Merger Sub aided and abetted the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Dreams’ directors. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. Dreams has not been served with this lawsuit.

On May 28, 2012, a court hearing was held in the Rallapalle/Kaplan and Perkins actions. The Court entered an order consolidating these cases, appointing Rallapalle, Kaplan, Perkins and Matney as Co-Lead Plaintiffs, and appointing Co-Lead Counsel.
