1.   MANAGEMENT'S REPRESENTATIONS

     The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein
     have been prepared by 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 generally accepted accounting
     principles 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 Company's Registration Statement filed with the SEC on Form
     10K-SB, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.

     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 the opinion of management, all adjustments, which
     are of normal recurring nature, necessary to summarize fairly the financial
     position and results of operations for such periods. The results of
     operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.

2.   NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Dreams, Inc. (the "Company") operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
     Dreams Franchise Corporation ("DFC") and through Dreams Entertainment, Inc.
     ("DEI") and Dreams Products, Inc. ("DPI"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of
     DFC. DFC is in the business of selling Field of Dreams-Registered
     Trademark- retail store franchises and generates revenues through the sale
     of those franchises and continuing royalties. DEI was incorporated in
     fiscal 1999 and was inactive throughout fiscal 1999 and as of December 31,
     1999. DPI is a wholesaler of sports memorabilia products and acrylic cases.
     DPI pays an annual fee to the National Football League which officially
     licenses DPI's football memorabilia products.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     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.

     USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
     statements and related notes to the financial statements. Estimates are
     used when accounting for uncollectable accounts receivable, inventory
     obsolescence, depreciation, taxes, contingencies, among others. Actual
     results could differ from those estimated by management and changes in such
     estimates may affect amounts reported in future periods.

3.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
     concentrations of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts
     receivable arising from its normal business activities.

     Franchisee receivables subject the Company to credit risk. The Company's
     franchisee receivables are derived primarily from royalties on franchisee
     sales, sales of merchandise to franchisees and the reimbursement of various
     costs incurred on behalf of franchisees.

     Regarding retail accounts receivable, the Company believes that credit risk
     is limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's
     customer base and the diversified industries in which the Company operates.
     The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not
     require collateral. The Company believes that credit risk is limited
     because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
     customers, and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers,
     establishes an allowance for uncollectable accounts and, as a consequence,
     believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such
     allowances is limited. The Company had a consolidated allowance for
     doubtful accounts at September 30, 2000 of approximately $108. The Company
     believes any credit risk beyond this amount would be negligible.

4.   INVENTORIES

     The components of inventories as of September 30, 2000 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Registrant cautions readers that certain important factors may affect
actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any
forward-looking statements that may have been made in this Form 10-QSB or that
are otherwise made by or on behalf of Registrant. For this purpose, any
statements contained in the Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, words such as "may," "expect," "believe,"
"anticipate," "intend," "could," "estimate," "plan," or "continue" or the
negative other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

     Dreams, Inc. operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dreams Franchise
Corporation ("DFC") and through Dreams Products, Inc. ("DPI") and Dreams
Entertainment, Inc. ("DEI"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of DFC. DFC is a
franchisor of Field of Dreams-Registered Trademark- retail units that sell
sports and celebrity memorabilia products. DFC licenses the right to use the
proprietary name Field of Dreams-Registered Trademark- from Universal Studios
Licensing, Inc. ("USL"), formerly known as Universal Merchandising, Inc. As of
September 30, 2000, there were 36 Field of Dreams-Registered Trademark-
franchises operating in 20 states and in the District of Columbia.

     DPI is a wholesaler of sports memorabilia products and acrylic cases. It
sells to a wide customer base, which includes internet companies, traditional
catalog companies and other retailers of sports and celebrity memorabilia
products, including Field of Dreams-Registered Trademark-. Approximately, ten
percent of DPI's revenues are generated through sales to Field of
Dreams-Registered Trademark- franchises. DPI is licensed by the National
Football League and Major League Baseball as a distributor of autographed
products. DEI was incorporated in fiscal 1999 and has been inactive since its
inception.

     The Company believes that the factors that will drive the future growth of
its business will be the opening of new franchised units and, to some extent,
capitalizing on its relationships with certain entities, such as the National
Football League, Major League Baseball and Universal Studios, and with certain
well-known athletes, as those relationships and agreements will allow. The
Company plans to open approximately ten franchised units each of the next three
fiscal years. There can be no assurance, however, that any such franchised units
will open or that they will be successful.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999.

     REVENUE. Total revenue increased $451, or 17.1%, from $2.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999 to $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal
2000. The increase was partly the result of the Company realizing in August 2000
approximately $250 in revenue

                                       8
<PAGE>

generated during a two-hour collectible show on QVC, a television home shopping
channel, where the Company sold exclusive products commemorating the Pro
Football Hall of Fame induction of Joe Montana.

     COSTS AND EXPENSES. Cost of sales increased $220, or 14%, over the same
quarter in the prior year; however, as a percentage of wholesale revenue, cost
of sales improved 2.3 percentage points from 67.6% in the second quarter of 2000
to 65.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The improvement relates to a
slight change in the sales mix. Operating expenses increased 90.1% from $136 in
the second three months of fiscal 2000 to $259 in the second three months of
fiscal 2001, due primarily to timing of franchise promotional expenses
(approximately $48 of increase) and increased travel and other expenses
associated with the Company's efforts to raise funds through a private equity
offering during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 (approximately $35 of the
increase).

     General and administrative expenses increased 18.1% from $561 in the second
three months of fiscal 2000 to $662 in the second three months of fiscal 2001.
As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses were
comparable in both quarters, at 21.4% and 21.3% for the second quarter of fiscal
2001 and 2000, respectively. Depreciation and amortization increased from $69 in
second quarter of fiscal 2000 to $74 in second quarter of fiscal 2001 due to
depreciation associated with assets purchased since September 1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Net interest expense was $132 for both the second
quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 2001.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.6 million, which
expire in various years beginning in 2007 through 2014. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance was provided for the full amount of federal taxes as of the end of
fiscal 2000. However, a provision for state income taxes was provided for in the
second quarter of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 for applicable taxes.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999.

     REVENUE. Total revenue increased $581, or 10.5%, from $5.5 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2000 to $6.1 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2001. The increase was partly the result of the Company realizing in
August 2000 approximately $250 in revenue generated during a two-hour
collectible show on QVC, a television home shopping channel, where the Company
sold exclusive products commemorating the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction of
Joe Montana.

     COSTS AND EXPENSES. Cost of sales increased $349, or 11%, over the same six
months in the prior year; however, as a percentage of wholesale revenue, cost of
sales improved slightly from 64.0% in the first six months of fiscal 2000 to
63.7% in the first six months of fiscal 2001. The improvement relates to a
slight change in the sales mix. Operating expenses increased 79.4% from $365 in
the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $655 in the first six months of fiscal
2001, due primarily to the timing of franchise promotional expenses. Promotional
expenses increased approximately $141 over the same period in the prior year as
a result of current year

                                       9

promotions with Major League Baseball, one of our key strategic partners added
since June 1999.

     General and administrative expenses increased 19.5% from $1.1 million in
the first six months of fiscal 2000 to $1.3 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2001. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative
expenses were 21.8% and 20.1% for the first half of fiscal 2001 and 2000,
respectively. The slight increase relates to public and investor relations
strategies implemented since June 1999. Depreciation and amortization increased
from $135 in first six months of fiscal 2000 to $144 in first six months of
fiscal 2001 due to depreciation associated with assets purchased since June
1999.

     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET. Net interest expense decreased slightly from $273 in
the first six months of fiscal 1999 to $264 in the first six months of fiscal
2000.

     PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. At September 30, 2000, the Company had
available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.6 million, which
expire in various years beginning in 2007 through 2014. Accordingly, a valuation
allowance was provided for the full amount of federal taxes as of the end of
fiscal 1999. However, a provision for state income taxes was provided for in the
first half of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 for applicable taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $315,
compared to $229 at June 30, 2000 and $251 as of September 30, 1999. Accounts
receivable at September 30, 2000 were $1.4 million compared to $1.4 million at
June 30, 2000 and $1.1 million at September 30, 1999.

     Cash provided by operations amounted to $140 in the first six months of
fiscal 2001, compared to cash used of $149 in the first six months of fiscal
2000. The change in cash provided by operating activities is primarily
attributed to fiscal 2000 payments for accounts payable and accrued liabilities
associated with the consolidation of DFC's and DPI's infrastructure during
fiscal 2000.

     Investing activities, comprised of only capital expenditures, used $41 in
the first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to $79 in same period of fiscal
2000. The capital expenditures in both periods relate to upgrades and purchases
of computer equipment utilized in the Company's operations.

     The Company presently does not operate or own any Field of
Dreams-Registered Trademark- units, and does not plan to own any in the future.
It will continue to sell franchised units to prospective and current third-party
franchisees. Additionally, there are no major capital expenditures planned for
in the foreseeable future, nor any payments planned for off-balance sheet
obligations or other demands or commitments for which payments become due after
the next 12 months.

     The Company believes its current available cash position, coupled with its
cash forecast for the year and periods beyond, is sufficient to meet its cash
needs on both a short-term and long-term basis. The balance sheet has a strong
working capital ratio and, beginning in November 2000 its long-term debt
obligations require interest-only payments totaling $4 per

                                       10
<PAGE>

month. The Company's management is not aware of any known trends or demands,
commitments, events, or uncertainties, as they relate to liquidity which could
negatively affect the Company's ability to operate and grow as planned.

     Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, during October
2000 the Company filed a Form 8-K announcing that it raised $4.3 million in a
private equity financing. The proceeds of the financing were used to retire $3.0
million of long-term debt and repurchase warrants owned by the lender. The
retirement of that debt and termination of the warrant rights significantly
improves the Company's financial condition and will allow for more aggressive
growth. Elimination of the $3.0 million note also eliminates $420 of annual
interest expense for the Company.

     Also subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the
Company announced in November 2000 that it has established a formula-based
revolving Line of Credit with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, Inc.
for up to $3.5 million. The Line of Credit will be used for working capital
purposes.
