Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

Managements Representations
|
The condensed
consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Dreams, Inc. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/T, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on March 27, 2008.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the standards of
accounting measurements set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28 and reflect, in managements opinion, all adjustments, which are of normal recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results
of operations for such periods. Due to the seasonality of our business, the results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future quarters or the full fiscal year.

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Description of Business
Dreams, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (collectively the Company) are principally engaged in the manufacture, distribution and retailing of sports memorabilia and licensed sports products and acrylic display cases through multiple distribution channels; including
brick & mortar, and internet. The Company is also in the business of selling Field of Dreams
®
store franchises, as well as athlete representation and corporate marketing of
individual athletes. The Companys customers are located throughout the United States of America.
Principals of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
5
Fiscal Year
Pursuant to a Consent Resolution of the Board of Directors dated September 12, 2007, the Company has changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31. Management believes this will provide
greater clarity to the investment community. As a result, the Company filed a report covering the transitional period of April 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007, on Form 10-K/T.
Stock Split
The Company received
approval from a majority of its shareholders on January 25, 2007 and the Companys Board approved a 1 for 6 reverse stock split effective January 30, 2007. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
this reverse stock split.
Stock Buy Back
On February 8, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $1,000,000 of the Companys common stock when market prices make repurchases advantageous.
Earnings per Share
For
the three months ended March 31, 2008, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per share purposes was 37,703,211. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per
share purposes was 37,876,886.
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, weighted average shares outstanding for basic earnings per
share purposes was 36,744,642. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per share purposes was 36,744,642.
Stock Compensation
Effective
April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of, and accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment, which replaced SFAS
No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R, 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 SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified.
6
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded $2 of pre-tax share-based
compensation expense under FAS No. 123(R), recorded in selling and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This expense was offset by approximately a $1 in a deferred tax benefit for non-qualified
sharebased compensation.
Share-Based Compensation Awards
The following disclosure provides information regarding the Companys share-based compensation awards, all of which are classified as equity awards in accordance with FAS No. 123(R):

Income Taxes
SFAS No. 109
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 and $187 as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively, 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 Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Interpretation provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises
financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, 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 Companys evaluation of
the implementation of FIN 48, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax years subject to
examination by the taxing authorities are the years ended December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007.
8
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 48-1 Definition of
Settlement
in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1
is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation.
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.
Reclassification
Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current periods presentation.

Acquisition of Business
|
General Statement
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 companys balance sheet and supporting schedules and to adjust the acquired companys accounting
policies, procedures, books and records to the Companys 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.

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.
On June 6, 2007, the Company
entered into a three-year loan and security agreement with Comerica Bank. Comerica provided the Company with $18 million in credit facilities; consisting of a $15 million revolver and a $3 million acquisition line to fund the cash
portion of future strategic acquisitions. The loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its divisions. The interest rate on outstanding loan balances is prime minus .75 or 30 day Comerica costs of funds plus 1.50% for the revolver and
prime minus .25 or 30 day Comerica costs of funds plus 2.25% for funds drawn from the acquisition line. The Company used $6.7 million of the revolver to pay-off the loan balances owed to the Companys prior senior lender, La Salle Bank. In
addition, the Company incurred about $45 in closing fees with Comerica Bank. The credit facility requires that certain performance financial covenants be met on a quarterly basis. The advance rates for eligible accounts receivable is 80% and 60% for
the Companys eligible inventories. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had $14.6 million outstanding on the revolver. The Company had approximately $.4 million available on the revolver and the full $3.0 million on the acquisition line.
Effective May 12, 2008 Comerica Bank increased the Companys revolver from $15 million to $21.5 million to support the Companys 2008 projected growth and business plan.

Managements Overview
Dreams, Inc., headquartered in Plantation, Florida has evolved into the premier vertically integrated licensed sports products firm in the
industry. This has 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 from:
|
|
|
our retail segment which includes our 16 Company owned stores and our e-commerce component;
|
|
|
|
our manufacturing distribution segment, through manufacturing and wholesaling of sports memorabilia products, custom acrylic display cases and custom framing and
other items;
|
|
|
|
our franchise program through the 9 Field of Dreams® franchise stores presently owned and operated; and
|
|
|
|
our representation and corporate marketing of individual athletes, including personal appearances, endorsement and marketing opportunities.
|
14
Organic Growth
Key components of our organic growth strategy include building brand recognition; improving sales conversion rates both in our stores and web sites; 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.
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 Companys sales associated with these e-commerce initiatives have grown from $4 million in 2004 to nearly $40 million last year. Internet sales for our quarters ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, were
$9.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively.
Strategic Acquisitions
Our strategic acquisition initiatives will focus on e-commerce companies, brick and mortar retailers, other manufacturers of licensed
sports and entertainment products and collectibles. These are companies that can offer incremental distribution channels for our products and whose value can be enhanced by placing them under the Dreams corporate umbrella. Normally, upon
successfully completing these types of acquisitions, we seek to retain key management personnel while instituting a growth culture. Hence, our ability to evaluate potential acquisition candidates and consummate these transactions will remain an
integral part of our business model.
Corporate Initiatives
The following is a partial list of our recent corporate initiatives:
|
|
|
We completed our site selection and store design for our 1
st
FansEdge brick & mortar store in the Chicago market scheduled to open the spring of 2008. This retail component will complement the success this brand has enjoyed on-line. This strategy of
positioning our FansEdge brand by adding stores to the web presence will result in our becoming the first multi-channel, fan focused retailer in the industry. Additional FansEdge store openings are planned for later this year.
|
|
|
|
We hired a 10-year veteran in charge of retail marketing at Major League Baseball to lead the sales and marketing efforts on behalf of our Dreams Retail Solutions
team. Dreams Retail Solutions builds, hosts, and operates Web stores for third party brands. This syndication model is a result of our proprietary e-Commerce platform becoming scalable and our unparalleled depth of product selection.
This model should be a meaningful contributor to our overall revenues and profitability beginning this year.
|
|
|
|
We have targeted Las Vegas, our highest volume market, for the opening of new Field of Dreams® and FansEdge stores. In addition, we will expand our 365 Live
model which features athletes appearing and signing autographs in several locations. Technology integration will play a prominent role in enhancing the experience and expanding the market for our products and services for both our Field of Dreams
stores and 365 Live venues this year.
|
15
|
|
|
Mounted Memories and Schwartz Sports, co-producers of the Chicago Sun-Times Collectibles show, began working on enhancements for future shows to take the show
experience to new heights.
|
We believe we have sufficient cash and capital available under our credit facilities to fund
these corporate initiatives cited above.
Objective
Our overall objective is to establish a market leading totally licensed, sports and entertainment products enterprise and true multi-channel retailer. That is, to service the customer by every possible means necessary
in an efficient and professional manner, driving and building our brands through on-line, brick and mortar, catalogue, and in-bound and out-bound call centers.
Analysis
We review our operations based on both our financial results and various non financial measures. Managements
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. As the online retail market continues to grow, we believe that the market for our products sold over
the Internet will also grow.
Some of the important non financial measures which management reviews are: unique visitors to our web sites,
foot traffic in our stores, sales conversion rates and average sold unit prices.
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. Other factors also make for a significant fluctuation of our quarterly results, including the timing of special
events, the general popularity of a specific team that wins a championship or an individual athlete who enters their respective sports Hall of Fame, the amount and timing of new sales contributed by 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 and corporate expenses to support our expansion and growth strategy.
16
Conclusion
We set ourselves apart from other companies with our diversified product and services line, as well as our relationships with sports leagues, agents and athletes. Management believes we can become a consolidator in the highly fragmented
licensed sports products industry.
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
our financial statements in conformity with generally accounting principles accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably
will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to our financial statements. Management continually evaluates its estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances.
Management believes that the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity:
Collectibility of Accounts Receivable
The Companys allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on managements 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
Companys operations. The Companys current allowance for doubtful accounts is $67.

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 Companys investment in inventories for declines in value. The Companys current reserve for inventory obsolescence is
$275.
17
Income Taxes
Significant management judgment is required in developing the Companys 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 no valuation allowance as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, was necessary.
Goodwill and Unamortized Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (
SFAS 142), 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
units 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 Companys evaluations of the carrying amount of goodwill, were completed as of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 in accordance with SFAS 142,
resulted in no impairment losses. There were no material changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes retail (including e-commerce 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.
18
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.

Three Months Ended
March 31, 2008 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Revenue
.
Total revenues increased 26.6% to $18.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $14.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in retail revenues generated through our e-commerce component and our wholesale/distribution
divisions.
19
Manufacturing/Distribution
revenues increased 38.7% to $6.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 from $4.9 million in the same period last year. Net revenues (after eliminating intercompany sales) increased 30.2% to $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $4.3 million in the same period last year.
The increase in manufacturing/distribution revenues for the period was attributed to the Companys participation in Orange Bowl Stadium asset sales as a partner with the City of Miami and the addition of the Schwartz Sports results, a recent
acquisition.
Retail
operation revenues increased 28.0% to $12.8 million for the three months ended March 28, 2008, from $10.0
million in the same period last year. Our internet retail division revenues increased 49.2% to $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $6.3 million in the same period last year. The increase is as a result of our providing
more robust platforms, improving our user interface, better merchandising of our products on-line, increased traffic and better conversion rates. Additionally, retail revenues generated through our sixteen company-owned Field of Dreams stores
decreased 5.5% to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $3.6 in the same period last year. Same store sales were down approximately 13%.
Costs and expenses
. Total cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008, increased 14.9% to $10 million, versus $8.7million in the same period last year. The increase directly relates to the
increase in overall company sales. However, as a percentage of total sales, cost of sales was 53.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 59.2% for the same period last year. The Company is consolidating its purchasing power
throughout the organization and as a result, experiencing better pricing on goods and services from its vendor base. Also, the improvement in our blended gross margins is a result of selling more of our manufactured items through our retail assets.
Cost of sales of manufacturing/distribution
products increased 7.1% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
versus $2.8 million in the same period last year. However, as a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues, cost of sales was approximately 53% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 65.6% for the same period last year.
As a percentage of manufacturing/distribution revenues before elimination of inter-company sales, costs were 43.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus 55.5% for the same period last year. The improvement in
manufacturing/distribution margin was attributable to the Company selling a considerable amount of Orange Bowl Stadium assets and not having any cost of goods associated with those specific sales. The City and The Company agreed on a revenue share
for many of the items sold.
Cost of sales of retail
products increased 20.6% to $7.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, from $5.8 million in the same period last year. The increase is a direct result of incremental retail sales. As a percentage of total retail sales, costs were 54.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus 58.3%
for the same period last year. The Company is consolidating its purchasing power throughout the organization and as a result, experiencing better pricing on goods and services from its vendor base.
20
Operating expenses
increased 28.8% to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008,
from $6.6 million in the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses were 46% for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus 44.9% for the same period last year. The increase in overall operating expenses is
attributable to additional employees hired throughout the various operating divisions to support future growth and slightly higher advertising expenses at the Internet division.
Interest expense., net
.
Net interest expense was $148 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus $138 for the same period last
year. The increase was attributable to having $39 in interest expense in connection with notes payable issued with recent acquisitions, off-set by lower interest rates.
Provision for income taxes
. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $119 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus an income tax benefit of $520 for the same period last year. 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 Companys 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 March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 40.0%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of
liquidity for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are the cash flow generated from our operating subsidiaries; availability under our senior revolving credit facility; availability under our acquisition line and available cash and cash
equivalents. We are unaware of any trends that may have a negative impact on our ability to continue our operations. In fact, with the improvement of the financial results of the Company and a further strengthening of the balance sheet, our ability
to capitalize on market opportunities should be enhanced.
The balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 reflects working capital of $26.8
million, versus working capital of $17.5 million at year end. At March 31, 2008, the Companys cash and cash equivalents were $1.5 million, versus $1.6 million at year end. The cash position in addition to capital available under its
revolving credit facility provides the company with the ability to make inventory purchases to support the increased sales activity the Company is experiencing. During its busy fourth quarter ending December 31, the Company pays down a
significant amount of the line balance. Net accounts receivable at March 31, 2008, were $2.6 million compared to $4.4 million last year.
Use of
Funds
Cash used in operations was $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $4.9 million cash used in operations during
the same period of 2007. The Company paid more than $6.6 million in accounts payable during the current period, versus $2.0 million in accounts payable during the prior period.
21
Cash used in investing activities was $343 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $155 of cash
provided investing activities for the same period of 2007.
Cash provided by financing activities was $9.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, compared to $4.6 million cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2007. The Company used additional funds from its revolver to make payments to its suppliers.
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 million in credit facilities; consisting of a $15 million revolver and a $3 million acquisition line for the cash portion of future strategic
acquisitions. The loan is collateralized by all of the assets of the Company and its divisions. The interest rate for the revolver is floating at prime minus .75 or 30 day Comerica costs of funds plus 1.50%; and prime minus .25 or 30 day Comerica
costs of funds plus 2.25%, for the funds drawn from the acquisition line. The Company used $6.7 million of the revolver at closing to pay-off the remaining loan balance with its prior senior lender, La Salle Bank. As of March 31, 2008, the
Companys outstanding loan balance with Comerica was $14.6 million. The Company had approximately $.4 million available on the revolver and the full $3.0 million on the acquisition line. Effective May 12, 2008 Comerica Bank increased the
Companys revolver from $15 million to $21.5 million to support the Companys 2008 projected growth and business plan.
Analysis
We have and will continue to analyze the performance of each of the current store operations in order to determine whether they are providing the
Company with its desired results. This may include additional future closings and/or conversion to franchise stores or conversely, the acquisition and conversion of existing franchise stores to company-owned stores.
22
We are continuing to review our operational expenses and examining ways to reduce costs on a going-forward basis. With
our recent change in our independent auditors and bank; we believe we will experience lower fees and costs typically associated with a smaller, yet highly regarded accounting firm; and moving away from a traditional asset-based lender to a more
traditional cash-flow lender, respectively. However, we will be required in 2008 to comply with the new annual internal control certification pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related SEC rules. While we expect
some relaxing of the initial requirements mandated by Sarbanes-Oxley due to our relative company size, these and other compliance costs of a public company will increase. To support our ultimate compliance with Section 404, we engaged the
services of an outside consulting company who began working with our management team in March of 2007. In addition, effective April 16, 2007, the Companys Common shares became listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
DRJ. The Company has incurred additional costs and fees associated with this listing.

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.
23
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 March 31, 2008, we had $14.6 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our current credit facility with Comerica Bank. A hypothetically 10% increase in our credit facilitys weighted
average interest rate of 5.775 % per annum for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, would correspondingly decrease our pre-tax earnings and our operating cash flows by approximately $6.
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 March 31, 2008, 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 4.
|
Controls and Procedures.
|
Any control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable (not absolute) assurance that its objectives will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules
13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the report.
Based upon that
evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2008 the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that (i) the
information required to
24
be disclosed by the Company in this Report was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that its files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and
principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the
design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely
access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Companys business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events
affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
