Stock Compensation

Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of Topic 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The Company elected the modified-prospective method of

adoption, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The Company has elected the graded-vesting attribution method for recognizing stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche of awards as though the awards were, in substance, multiple awards. The valuation provisions of Topic 718 apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $0 and $38 of pre-tax share-based compensation expense under Topic 718, recorded in selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. This expense was offset by approximately a $0 and $15 in a deferred tax benefit for non-qualified share-based compensation, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Awards

The following disclosure provides information regarding the Company’s share-based compensation awards, all of which are classified as equity awards in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation:

Stock Options - The Company grants stock options to employees that allow them to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Options are also granted to outside members of the Board of Directors of the Company as well as independent contractors. The Company determines the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Options generally vest immediately, however, the Company has granted options that vest over three to five years. Awards generally expire three to five years after the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2010, vested options totaled 1,334,640 with an average price of $.54. Unvested options totaled 0. Total outstanding options that were “in the money” at June 30, 2010 were 1,306,307 with an average price per option of $.49. Of those options, the vested “in the money” options totaled 1,306,307 with an average price of $.49 and the “in the money” unvested options totaled 0.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010; there were no options granted, no options expired, no options cancelled, and 131,005 options exercised.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity from January 1, 2010, through June 30, 2010:

At June 30, 2010, exercisable options had aggregate intrinsic values of $1,295.

Income Taxes

FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 740-Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported, if based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation allowance of $187 as of December 31, 2009, is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current fiscal year is $0.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-10-65, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The Interpretation provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the Company’s evaluation, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or market adjustment for inventory; sales returns; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of stock-based compensation

In an on-going basis, the Company reviews its outstanding customer receivables for collectability. Adjustments to the allowance account are made according to current knowledge. Additionally, management reviews the composition of its inventory no less than annually. Reserves are adjusted accordingly. On a quarterly basis, the Company also evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets and whether or not a valuation allowance is necessary.

The Company has both Goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets which are not amortized. As prescribed by the FASB, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these assets for impairment. Significant economic changes may require the Company to recognize impairment. As of June 30, 2010, no impairment has been necessary.

 

3. Business Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments as identified by information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers (CODM), our CEO and SVP Finance. 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 comprised of traditional brick and mortar stores, catalogues and Internet sites:

Brick and Mortar

The Company’s e-commerce components feature FansEdge.com and ProSportsMemorabilia.com along with a complement of athlete and syndicated web sites including, but not limited to: www.danmarino.com, www.jcp.com, and www.philadelphiaeagles.com. These e-commerce retailers sell a diversified selection of sports licensed products and autographed memorabilia on the web. These e-commerce operations have provided for the fastest growing area of our retail segment.

5. Goodwill and Unamortized Intangible Assets

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350-20-35 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other > Goodwill > Subsequent Measurement, the Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31 of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair value. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds it implied fair value.

The Company’s evaluations of the carrying amount of goodwill were completed as of December 31, 2009 and resulted in no impairment losses. There has been no subsequent event that resulted in evaluation adjustments as of June 30, 2010.

 

6. Acquisition of Business

Upon the closing of an acquisition, management estimates the fair values of assets and liabilities, acquired and consolidates the acquisition as quickly as possible. However, it routinely takes time to obtain all of the pertinent information to finalize the acquired company’s balance sheet and supporting schedules and to adjust the acquired company’s accounting policies, procedures, books and records to the Company’s standards. As a result, it may take several quarters before the Company is able to finalize those initial fair value estimates. Accordingly, it is not uncommon for initial estimates to be subsequently revised.

 

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has certain contracts with several athletes which will require the Company to make minimum payments to these athletes over the next two years. The payments are in exchange for autographs and licensing rights on inventory items to be received in the future. Rent expenses for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 were $2,342, $2,530 and $1,157, $1,240, respectively.

 

8. New Accounting Pronouncements

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

 

9. Line of Credit

On June 6, 2007, the Company entered into a three-year loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank. Comerica provided the Company with $18,000 in credit facilities; consisting of a $15,000 revolver and a $3,000 “acquisition line” to fund the cash portion of future strategic acquisitions. The loan remains secured by all of the assets of the Company and its divisions. The interest rate on outstanding loan balances beginning June 30, 2009, has been increased to prime plus a 3.25% margin, currently 6.5% and the credit facilities were increased to $19,500 on the revolver and $1,500 on the acquisition line. The weighted average interest rate was 6.5% and the average loan balance was $15,500 during the first six months of 2010. The advance rates for eligible accounts receivable was 80% and 55% for the Company’s eligible inventories. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $17,728 outstanding on the revolver and $0 outstanding on the acquisition line. As further discussed in note 11. , on July 23, 2010, the Company had $11,200 outstanding on the revolver which was paid off in its entirety with the new $20,000 senior secured credit facility provided by Regions Bank.

The Comerica credit facility required that certain performance financial covenants be met on a monthly and or quarterly and or yearly basis. These modified financial covenants consist of a maximum quarterly Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio, and a minimum quarterly Tangible Net Worth amount. Both covenants have been met for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010.

10. Equity

In May 2010, the Company issued 1,428,570 shares of common stock and 285,714 warrants for total consideration of $2,000 through a private placement memorandum. The warrants are exercisable within three years of issuance at a strike price of $1.80 per share.

Upon completion of the private placement, the Company issued 50,000 additional warrants exercisable within three years of issuance at a strike price of $1.80 per share to a consultant as consideration for services rendered in connection with the procurement of funding. The warrants were valued at approximately $40. The fair value of the warrants at the grant date was estimated using the Black Sholes model using the following assumptions:

 

Risk Free Rate

  .45%

Dividend yield

  0%

Volatility factor

  100%

Expected life

  1.8 years

 

11. Subsequent Events

In preparing the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated, for the potential recognition or disclosure, events or transactions subsequent to the end of the most recent quarterly period through the date of issuance of the financial statements. The following material subsequent events were identified that require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements:

On July 16, 2010, the Company issued 4,615,384 registered shares to an unrelated group of investors at a per share value of $1.30 for total consideration of $6 million.

On July 23, 2010, the Company received a $20 million Senior Secured Credit Facility with Regions Bank of which $11.2 million was used to pay-off the loan balance with the Company’s prior Senior Lender. The revolving note (the “Note”) has a maturity date of July 23, 2013. Interest shall accrue on all outstanding amounts under the Note at the rate of LIBOR plus 3.0% per annum, and is due and payable monthly in arrears. The default rate of interest is the applicable rate plus 2% per annum. An unused line fee in the amount of 0.375% per annum is payable monthly in arrears based on the average daily unused portion of the facility. All outstanding principal, and any remaining outstanding interest, shall be paid in one lump sum on the maturity date.

The amount outstanding from time to time under the Note may not exceed the sum of: (i) 80% of the eligible accounts receivable; plus (ii) between January 1 and March 31, the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; and between April 1 and May 31, the lesser of 55% of eligible inventory and 92.5% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; and between June 1 and August 31, the lesser of 60% of eligible inventory and 100% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; and between September 1 and December 31, the lesser of 60% of eligible inventory and 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory; minus (iii) certain reserves as may be required by Regions Bank from time to time.

The Debtors have granted Regions Bank a security interest in all of Debtors’ assets and a pledge of Debtors equity in all of the Company’s subsidiaries to secure Debtors payment when due of all of Debtors existing and future indebtedness to Regions Bank. The loan documents contain standard affirmative and negative loan covenants.

Management’s Overview

Dreams, Inc., headquartered in Plantation, Florida is a Utah Corporation which was formed on April 9, 1980, and has evolved into the premier vertically integrated licensed sports products firm in the industry. This has previously been accomplished, in part, via organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Our continuing pursuit of this dual strategy should result in our becoming a principal leader and a consolidator in this highly fragmented industry. We believe our senior management and corporate infrastructure is well suited to acquire both large and small industry competitors.

Specifically, we are engaged in multiple aspects of the licensed sports products and autographed memorabilia industry through a variety of distribution channels.

We generate revenues principally from:

 

   

Our e-commerce component featuring www.FansEdge.com and others; (reported in retail segment)

 

   

Our athlete and web syndication sites; (reported in retail segment)

 

   

Our six (6) company-owned FansEdge stores; (reported in retail segment)

 

   

Our nine (9) company-owned Field of Dreams stores; (reported in retail segment)

 

   

Our catalogues; (reported in retail segment)

 

   

Our manufacturing/distribution of sports memorabilia products, custom acrylic display cases and framing; (reported in mfg/wholesale segment)

 

   

Our running of sports memorabilia /collectible trade shows; (reported in mfg/wholesale segment)

 

   

Our franchise program through the five (5) Field of Dreams franchise stores presently operating*; (reported in fees) and

 

   

Our representation and corporate marketing of individual athletes* (reported in fees).

 

* revenue not material to the overall consolidated results.

Organic Growth (dollar amounts in thousands)

Key components of our organic growth strategy include building brand recognition; improving sales conversion rates both in our stores and web sites; continuing our execution of multi-channel retailing under our FansEdge brand; aggressively marketing our web syndication services, which has met with great success, exploring additional distribution channels for our products; and cross pollinating corporate assets among our various operating divisions. Management believes that there remain significant benefits to cross pollinating the various corporate assets and leveraging the vertically integrated model that has been constructed over the years.

In particular, we have had success with the marketing of our products on-line via FansEdge.com and the complement of each of our web properties. The Company’s sales associated with these e-commerce initiatives have grown from $4,000 in 2004 to $60,000 in

2009, placing it at number 363 in 2005, number 289 in 2006, number 216 in 2007, number 217 in 2008, and number 198 in 2009 of the largest Internet retailers in the nation. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, our on-line sales grew 37.3% to $20,266 from $14,760 and 39.0% to $9,250 from $6,650, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2009. This remains the fastest growing area of the Company and will remain its primary focus.

The Company has drawn on a complete spectrum of competencies it has developed to support its flagship online brand, FansEdge. This has allowed the Company to leverage the investments made during the past several years by marketing a proven range of services to third parties that include; managed hosting, custom site design and development, customer service, order fulfillment, purchasing, inventory management, marketing, merchandising, and analytics and reporting. The Company calls the compilation of e-commerce services described above, Web Syndication and believes there are significant growth opportunities that exist in the marketplace. Our current web syndication portfolio consists of some of the best known brands and properties in the country, including JC Penney, AOL Sports, Majestic Athletic, NBC Sports and the Philadelphia Eagles, to name a few. Commencing in June 2008 and continuing throughout the fall of 2008, we opened (6) six FansEdge stores in the greater Chicago, IL area. This was in support of our Multi-channel Retailing strategy; whereby we market a single brand via multiple channels. We are pleased with the results to date of our FansEdge brick & mortar stores. They have performed well during the slow economy as we believe they offer approachable price points for the consumer. They cross market with the on-line Fansedge.com site and benefit by a high-tech inter-active kiosk used in each of the six (6) FansEdge stores.

During the first six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company closed three (3) under-performing Field of Dreams stores as their lease terms came due and we chose not to renew. We will continue to monitor the results of the existing stores to ensure that they are providing us with the desired results. The Company does anticipate additional Field of Dreams store closings in the future.

Our proprietary e-commerce platform has also enabled us to fuel a state-of-the-art in-store interactive Kiosk for ordering products. These Kiosks are in each of the new FansEdge stores and are providing a unique shopping experience for our customers by allowing them to access the entire Company portfolio of more than 200,000 product offerings. In fact, for 2009 and continuing through the first six months of 2010, we saw an average of 18% contribution to the individual store sales from the Kiosks. In addition, we are experiencing higher conversion rates on-line in the Chicago market for our FansEdge.com site due to the brand recognition provided by the physical stores presence throughout the Chicago land area. The Company will seek joint venture deals with national retailers who are seeking to add a broader range of merchandising options to their customers by placing our kiosks within their store footprint. In October 2009, we installed our kiosks in six (6) Philadelphia Eagles team stores in the greater Philadelphia market.

We believe this expansion of our revenue producing footprint will serve us well as we navigate our business models through the challenging economy and look to distinguish ourselves from our competitors.

Objective

Our overall objective is twofold: to become the premier multi-channel retailer in the team licensed products industry under our FansEdge brand; and become the leading online syndicator for sports related properties.

Analysis

We review our operations based on both our financial results and various non-financial measures. Management’s focus in reviewing performance begins with growth in sales, margin integrity and operating income. On the expense side, with a majority of our sales being achieved as an on-line retailer of licensed sports products, we spend a disproportionate amount of our operating expenses in internet marketing. Therefore, we continuously monitor the return on investment of these particular expenses. Non-financial measures which management reviews include: unique visitors to our web sites, foot traffic in our stores, sales conversion rates and average sold unit prices.

We believe the implementation of our Multi-channel Retailing strategy will strengthen our FansEdge brand in the marketplace, and that we are well positioned to capture increased activity of on-line retail purchases. Industry experts and analysts state that currently, only 6-7% of all retail sales are being conducted on-line and are anticipated to increase.

With the continued growth of our Web Syndication business model, which grew from 50 clients in 2009, to 65 currently and revenues from syndication growing from $3,000 in 2008 to over $17,000 in 2009 and 2010 projected to be considerably higher, we are leveraging the Company’s investment in its broad inventory by offering the items to multiple sites simultaneously. This should improve our inventory turnover, increase our absorption rates and reduce inventory carrying costs.

Table of Contents

Historically, the fourth quarter of the fiscal year (October to December) has accounted for a greater proportion of our operating income than have each of the other three quarters of our fiscal year. This is primarily due to increased activities as a result of the holiday season. We expect that we will continue to experience quarterly variations and operating results principally as a result of the seasonal nature of our industry. Management continues to seek ways to shift expenses from the non-holiday quarters to the busier holiday quarter in order to improve cash flow. Other factors also cause a significant fluctuation of our quarterly results, including the timing of special events, the general popularity of a specific team that plays in a championship or an individual athlete who enters their respective sports’ Hall of Fame, the amount and timing of new sales contributed by new web syndication accounts, new stores, the timing of personal appearances by particular athletes and general economic conditions. Additional factors may cause fluctuations and expenses, including the costs associated with the opening of new stores, the integration of acquired businesses and stores into our operations , the general health of the economy, and corporate expenses needed to support our expansion and growth strategy.

Conclusion

We set ourselves apart from other companies with our diversified product and services line, our proprietary e-commerce platform, as well as our relationships with sports leagues, agents and athletes. Management believes we can continue to capture market share and become a consolidator in the highly fragmented licensed sports products industry, especially on-line.

GENERAL

As used in this Form 10-Q “we”, “our”, “us”, “the Company” and “Dreams” refer to Dreams, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the determination of the lower of cost or market adjustment for inventory; sales returns; the allowance for doubtful accounts; the recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances; the accrual for actual, pending or threatened litigation, claims and assessments; and assumptions related to the determination of stock-based compensation.

In an on-going basis, the Company reviews its outstanding customer receivables for collectability. Adjustments to the allowance account are made according to current knowledge. Additionally, management reviews the composition of its inventory no less than annually. Reserves are adjusted accordingly. On a quarterly basis, the Company also evaluates its ability to realize its deferred tax assets and whether or not a valuation allowance is necessary.

The Company has both Goodwill and other long-lived intangible assets which are not amortized. As prescribed by the FASB, the Company evaluates the carrying value of these assets for impairment. Significant economic changes may require the Company to recognize impairment. As of December 31, 2009, no impairment has been necessary. However, the Company has taken a write down to Goodwill in the amount of $64 due to the closing of stores previously acquired that had Goodwill associated with the original purchase during the second quarter of 2009. As of June 30, 2010 there have been no circumstances that would yield impairment.

Management believes that the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity:

Collectibility of Accounts Receivable

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact upon the Company’s operations. The Company’s current allowance for doubtful accounts is $35.

Reserves on Inventories

The Company establishes a reserve based on historical experience and specific reserves when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to operations results when the estimated net realizable value of inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for declines in value. Adjustments are made to the reserve based on a number of factors, such as, players changing teams, falling out of favor with the public, incurring an injury, etc. These negative situations may impact valuation. However, dynamics that could increase inventory value, like the death of an athlete, do not result in writing up of inventory values. The Company’s current reserve for inventory obsolescence is $446.

Income Taxes

Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required against the deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates quarterly its ability to realize its deferred tax assets and adjusts the amount of its valuation allowance, if necessary. The Company provides a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets when it believes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The Company has prepared an analysis based upon historical data and forecasted earnings projections to determine its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation allowance of $187 as of December 31, 2009 and $187 as of December 31, 2008, was necessary.

Goodwill and Unamortized Intangible Assets

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350-20-35 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other > Goodwill > Subsequent Measure, the Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31 of each year and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair value. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds it implied fair value.

The Company’s evaluations of the carrying amount of goodwill were completed as of December 31, 2009 in accordance with Topic 350-20-35, resulted in no impairment losses. As of June 30, 2010, there was no impairment to goodwill.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes retail (including e-commerce sales and web syndication sales) and wholesale/distribution revenues at the later of (a) the time of shipment or (b) when title passes to the customers, all significant contractual obligations have been satisfied and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Retail revenues and wholesale/distribution are recognized at the time of sale. Return allowances, which reduce gross sales, are estimated using historical experience.

Revenues from the sale of franchises are deferred until the Company fulfills its obligations under the franchise agreement and the franchised unit opens. The franchise agreements provide for continuing royalty fees based on a percentage of gross receipts.

Management fee revenue related to the representation and marketing of professional athletes is recognized when earned and is reflected net of its related costs of sales. The majority of the revenue generated from the representation and marketing of professional athletes relates to services as an agent. In these arrangements, the Company is not the primary obligor in these transactions but rather only receives a net agent fee.

Revenues from industry trade shows are recognized at the time of the show when tickets are submitted for autographs or actual product purchases take place. In instances when the Company receives pre-payments for show autographs, the Company records these amounts as deferred revenue.

The Company had approximately $347 in orders not yet shipped as of June 30, 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

Revenue. Total revenues increased 14.3% to $30,910 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $27,037 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was attributed to considerably higher on-line sales, off-set by contraction at our Company owned Field of Dreams stores due to fewer stores operating in the comparable period and the softness experienced in manufacturing/distribution revenues for sports memorabilia due to the economy.

Manufacturing/Distribution revenues decreased 18.3% to $6,207 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $7,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Net revenues (after eliminating intercompany sales) decreased 14.6% to $4,661 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $5,459 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in manufacturing/distribution revenues for the period was attributed to the slow economy and the Company’s participation last year with a national consumer goods retailer. The program resulted in $762 being recorded as revenues for the first quarter of last year.

Retail channel revenues increased 21.3% to $25,966 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $21,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was principally driven by higher revenues generated online with a significant increase in sales activity at our FansEdge stores, off-set by contraction at our Field of Dreams stores due to a lower store count.

 

   

E-Commerce - Our internet retail division revenues increased 37.3% to $20,266 during the first six months of 2010, versus $14,760 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is a result of our FansEdge.com and web syndication growth.

 

   

FansEdge stores - Retail revenues generated through our six FansEdge stores increased 61.0% to $2,016 for the first six months of 2010, from $1,252 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The stores experienced higher sales activity due to the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup victory this year.

 

   

Field of Dreams stores - Retail revenues generated through our company-owned Field of Dreams stores decreased 31.7% to $3,684 for the first six months of 2010, from $5,401 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. We had nine stores operating during the current period, versus thirteen last year. These stores continue to be impacted by the slow economy.

Costs and expenses. Total cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010, increased 19.6% to $16,876, versus $14,100 in the same period last year. The increase is attributed to higher overall sales. However, as a percentage of total sales, cost of sales was 54.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus 52.1% for the same period last year.

Cost of sales of manufacturing/distribution products increased 9.0% to $2,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $2,513 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues, cost of sales was 58.7% versus 46.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded revenues of $762 associated with a national consumer goods retailer project with higher than historical gross profits. As a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues before elimination of inter-company sales, costs were 69.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 61.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Cost of sales of retail products increased 21.9% to $14,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $11,587 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is a result of higher overall retail sales. As a percentage of total retail sales, costs were 54.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus 54.1% for the same period last year.

Operating expenses increased 4.5% to $15,777 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus $15,086 for the same period last year. The slight increase in operating expenses was related to an overall increase in sales. The Company incurred approximately $205 in one-time expenses in the current quarter related to its $2,000 private placement, the preparation and filing of its S-3 registration statement, a proposed acquisition and it’s refinancing of its senior lender. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 51.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 55.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company is benefiting by numerous corporate savings initiatives enacted last year.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense was $759 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus $371 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Effective June 30, 2009, the Company’s senior lender increased our interest rate on outstanding loan balances from our credit facility. This was the impetus for the Company to seek a new credit facility at more competitive rates.

Provision for income taxes. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,362 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus $1,370 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Each quarter, the Company evaluates whether the realizability of its net deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Should the Company determine that a valuation reserve is necessary, it would have a

material impact on the Company’s operations. The Company has prepared an analysis based upon historical data and forecasted earnings projections to determine its ability to realize its net deferred tax asset. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. Therefore, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 40.0%.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 versus the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Manufacturing/Distribution revenues decreased 14.6% to $2,647 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $3,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The decrease in manufacturing/distribution revenues for the period was attributed to the slow economy.

Retail channel revenues increased 22.5% to $12,455 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $10,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was principally driven by higher revenues generated online with a significant increase in sales activity at our FansEdge stores, off-set by contraction at our Field of Dreams stores due to a lower store count.

 

   

E-Commerce - Our internet retail division revenues increased 39.0% to $9,250 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, versus $6,650 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is a result of our FansEdge.com and web syndication growth.

Provision for income taxes. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $785 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, versus $710 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Each quarter, the Company evaluates whether the realizability of its net deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

Therefore, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 40.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity during the six months ended June 30, 2010, was the cash flows generated daily from our operating subsidiaries; availability under our $20,000 senior revolving credit facility and available cash.

The balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 reflects working capital of $8,510 versus working capital of $9,903 at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010, the Company’s cash was $508, compared to $582 at December 31, 2009. The Company is not negatively impacted by the cash balance of $508 as it has sufficient access to capital under its revolving credit facility with its senior lender. Net accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 were $2,514, compared to $5,342 at December 31, 2009.

Use of Funds

Cash used in operations amounted to $8,953 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $6,132 cash used in operations during the same period of 2009. The increase in cash used in operations was mainly attributable to the Company increasing its inventory levels to support our growth.

Cash used in investing activities was $607 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $465 cash used in investing activities for the same period of 2009. The slight increase was attributable to additional asset acquisitions.

Cash provided by financing activities was $9,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, versus $6,732 cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2009. In May, the Company completed a $2,000 private equity placement with three accredited investors.

Other Activity

On June 6, 2007, the Company entered into a three-year loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank. Comerica provided the Company with $18,000 in credit facilities; consisting of a $15,000 revolver and a $3,000 “acquisition line” to fund the cash portion of future strategic acquisitions. The loan remains secured by all of the assets of the Company and its divisions. The interest rate on outstanding loan balances beginning June 30, 2009, has been increased to prime plus a 3.25% margin, currently 6.5% and the credit facilities were increased to $19,500 on the revolver and $1,500 on the acquisition line. The weighted average interest rate was 6.5% and the average loan balance was $15,500 during the first six months of 2010. The advance rates for eligible accounts receivable is 80% and 55% for the Company’s eligible inventories. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $17,728 outstanding on the revolver and $0 outstanding on the acquisition line. On July 23, 2010, the Company had $11,200 outstanding on the revolver which was paid off in its entirety with the new $20,000 senior secured credit facility provided by Regions Bank.

The Comerica credit facility required that certain performance financial covenants be met on a monthly and or quarterly and or yearly basis. These modified financial covenants consist of a maximum quarterly Debt to Tangible Net Worth ratio, and a minimum quarterly Tangible Net Worth amount. Both have been met for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Below are the (2) two performance financial covenant details with actual results at month and/or quarter and/or year end.

 

  (1) Maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2009; a ratio of Debt to Tangible Net Worth of not more than the following:

On May 18, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with three accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company raised $2,000 through the issuance of 1,428,570 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase 285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The offering was exempt from registration pursuant to exemption under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

On July 16, 2010, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with a group led by William Blair & Company, LLC whereby the Company agreed to sell and issue to the investors a total of 4,615,384 shares of the Company’s common stock for $6,000. The shares had been registered on a Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On July 23, 2010, the Company entered into a 3-year loan and security agreement with Regions Bank who provided the Company with a $20,000 Senior Secured Credit Facility, of which $11,200 was used at closing to pay-off its previous loan balances with Comerica Bank. The interest rate on the loan balance is the 30-day libor rate plus a 3.00% margin.

Analysis

We are continuing to review our operational expenses and examining ways to reduce costs on a going-forward basis. With the slow economy, we are managing our capital conservatively and analyzing each of our commitments to identify areas where we can improve the profitability and/or cash flow of our business.

In addition, in order to properly fund our growth and leverage each of the opportunities that the Company is delivering to its environment, it was determined that a strengthening of the balance sheet through a $2,000 private placement and subsequently, a $6,000 sale of newly issued common shares was prudent. The Company was also successful in re-financing its senior debt in July, that will significantly reduce its cost of capital, thus, providing the Company with meaningful interest expense savings.

Summary

Management believes that future funds generated from our operations and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements and our budgeted capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have not created and are not a party to any special purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. Except as described herein, our management is not aware of any known trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, as they relate to liquidity which could negatively affect our ability to operate and grow as planned, other than those previously disclosed.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We do not currently have any trading derivatives nor do we expect to have any in the future. We have established policies and internal processes related to the management of market risks, which we use in the normal course of our business operations.

Interest Rate Risk. We have interest rate risk, in that borrowings under our credit facility with Comerica Bank are based on variable market interest rates. As of June 30, 2010, we had $17,728 of variable rate debt outstanding under our current credit facility with Comerica Bank. A hypothetically 10% increase in our credit facility’s weighted average interest rate of .65 % per annum for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, would correspondingly decrease our pre-tax earnings and our operating cash flows by approximately $26.

Intangible Asset Risk. We have a substantial amount of intangible assets. We are required to perform goodwill impairment tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from estimated future cash flows. As a result of our periodic evaluations, we may determine that the intangible asset values need to be written down to their fair values, which could result in material changes that could be adverse to our operating results and financial position. Although at June 30, 2010, we believed our intangible assets were recoverable, changes in the economy, the business in which we operate and our own relative performance could change the assumptions used to evaluate intangible asset recoverability. We continue to monitor those assumptions and their effect on the estimated recoverability of our intangible assets.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.

None.

Commodity Price Risk.

None.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On May 18, 2010, Dreams, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA’s”) with each of five accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company has raised $2,000,000 through the issuance of 1,428,570 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase 285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share (the “Warrants”). The Warrants, which have a three year term, contain a cashless exercise provision and standard anti-dilution provisions. The SPA’s contain limited price protection for a one year period with respect only to the Shares then held by the Investors, subject to carve outs for certain exempt issuances, and require the Company to file a registration statement covering the Shares within 90 days of the closing date. The Company met this requirement in July 2010.

The Company’s placement agent, Henley & Company LLC received a commission in the amount of $50,000 and a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms as the Warrants issued to the Investors.

The transactions set forth in the SPA’s closed on May 26, 2010, upon receipt of the approval of the NYSE Amex Equities Exchange for the listing of the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants.

The securities were issued to the Investors pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Investors received current information relating to the Company and had the ability to ask questions about the Company. The certificates representing the Shares and the Warrant agreements contain appropriate restrictive legends.

The Company used the net offering proceeds of approximately $1,900,000, to pay down its line of credit facility with its senior lender, which said credit facility is used for normal working capital needs.
