Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Administrator and Committee
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Durango, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Rocky Mountain
Chocolate Factory, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended February 28, 2007.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform our audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of February 28, 2007 and 2006, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended February 28, 2007, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held At End of Year) is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule
is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY, INC. 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
General
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) became effective June 1, 1994. The
following description provides only general information and participants should refer to the Plan
document for more complete information.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Plan covers all eligible employees of Rocky
Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (the Company).
The Board of Directors of the Company administers the Plan. Wells Fargo Retirement Plan Services,
Inc. (Trustee) serves as trustee, manages Plan assets, and maintains the Plans records. The Plan
offers participants a variety of investment options, including mutual funds, common collective
trust and Company stock. Individual accounts are invested in the various investment options at the
direction of the participants.
Eligibility
An employee becomes eligible to participate in the Plan as of March 1, June 1, September 1 or
December 1 subsequent to the employee completing 1,000 hours of service during a twelve consecutive
month period beginning on the date of hire and having attained age 21.
Contributions
Participants may elect to contribute a portion of compensation up to the Plan limits. A
participants contribution made by salary deferral, which results in a reduction of taxable income
to the participant, was limited by the Plan to $15,000 for fiscal 2007 in accordance with the
Internal Revenue Code. If an eligible participant is 50 years of age or older, they may contribute
up to $20,000. Participants may also add rollover contributions from other qualified plans.
During the plan year ended February 28, 2007 a total of $30,196 in employee contributions, in
excess of amounts allowed by IRS nondiscrimination rules were made to the plan by plan
participants. In accordance with IRS rules, contributions in excess of amounts allowed by the IRS
nondiscrimination rules are distributed from the plan within one year of the plan year end date
within which the excess contributions occurred.
The Plan provides for Company matching contributions equal to 25% of the participant contributions
up to 6% of each employees annual compensation. Total matching contributions were $35,685 for the
year ended February 28, 2007. The Company makes its matching contributions in a lump sum payment
subsequent to the fiscal year end. These contributions are allocated directly to participants
accounts.
Participants Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution and an allocation of the
Companys contribution and Plan earnings. Participants who are subject to limitations on individual
contributions, due to their level of pay in relation to that of the other participants, share in
Company contributions to the extent of their contribution. Allocations are based upon Plan earnings
and account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the vested
portion of the participants account.
7
Vesting
Participants are 100% vested in their salary deferrals at all times and can withdraw their
voluntary contributions from the Plan upon termination of employment. A participant becomes 100%
vested in employer contributions after three years of continued service or upon the participants
death, disability or attaining normal retirement age, and become 33% vested after year one, 67%
vested after year two, and 100% vested after year three.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures of nonvested balances for terminated employees are used to reduce future Company
contributions. During 2007 and 2006, forfeited nonvested balances used to reduce Company
contributions were $0 and $150, respectively.
Payment of Benefits
In the case of death, disability or retirement, benefits become payable as soon as administratively
feasible. The Plan provides three payment options associated with the distribution of benefits: 1)
lump-sum, 2) transfer of benefits to another qualified retirement plan and 3) periodic installments
as defined in the Plan agreement. Upon termination for causes other than death, disability or
retirement, participants may receive payment of their vested account in a lump sum payment or by
rolling over the account. The Plan also allows for payment of benefits for financial hardship. A
hardship distribution may be made to satisfy certain immediate and heavy financial needs that a
participant may have. Benefit payments are recorded by the plan when paid.
Administrative Expenses
The Company provides, at no cost to the Plan, certain administrative, accounting and legal services
to the Plan and also pays the cost of certain outside services for the Plan. All transaction costs
and certain plan administrative expenses are paid for by the Plan.
Participant Loans
Participants may obtain loans in amounts up to the lesser of 50% of their vested balance or $50,000
for a period not to exceed 5 years unless the proceeds are used to acquire the participants
principal residence. Loans used to acquire real estate that serves as the participants primary
residence may, subject to the Administrators determination, be repaid over a period longer than
five years. The loans bear interest at a rate determined at the inception of the loan. Interest
rates ranged from 5.0% to 6.5% on outstanding loans at February 28, 2007. Loan principal and
interest are repaid bi-weekly through payroll deductions and mature between June 2007 and April
2011.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and in accordance with the Plan agreement. A
summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements follows.
8
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plans investments are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Loans to
participants are valued at the amortized principal amount, which approximates fair value.
As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1,
Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies
Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and
Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to
be reported at fair value. However, contract value is a relevant measurement attribute for that
portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to
fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants
would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The
Plan invests in investment contracts through its common/collective fund. As required by the FSP,
the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment. No
adjustment of the investment from fair value to contract value was required as contract value
approximated fair value as of February 28, 2006 and 2007.
As of February 28, 2007 and 2006, the Plan was invested in the Wells Fargo Collective Stable Return
Fund (Stable Return Fund). The Stable Return Fund is a common collective trust that is held in
the general account of Wells Fargo. The Stable Return Fund invests in fully benefit responsive
guaranteed investment contracts.
The net realized and unrealized investments gain or loss (net appreciation or depreciation in fair
value of investments) is reflected in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits, and is determined as the difference between market value or contract value at the
beginning of the year (or date purchased if during the year) and selling price (if sold during the
year) or the year-end market value or contract value. Purchases and sales of securities are
recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest is recognized on the accrual method and dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investments. Investments, in general, are exposed to various risks,
such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investments, it is reasonably possible that changes in the value of
investments will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants
account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
Concentration
At February 28, 2007 and February 28, 2006, approximately 39% and 51% respectively, of Plan assets
were invested in Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. common stock. A significant change in the
stock price would have a significant effect on the financial statements.
9
NOTE 3 RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500
Net assets available for benefit for financial reporting purposes differ from amounts show on
the Plans Form 5500 as of February 28, 2006, due to the accrual of excess contributions by
$15,421. Changes in net assets available for benefits for financial reporting purposes differ from
amounts shown on the Plans Form 5500 for the year ended February 28, 2007, due to the accrual of
corrective distributions in 2006 by $15,421.
NOTE 4 PLAN AMENDMENT AND INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan is a qualified benefit plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and,
as such, is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Plan received its determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service on August 30, 2001.
The Plan has since been amended and although the restated Plan has not received a determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service, the Plans administrator believes that the Plan is
designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code.
NOTE 5 INVESTMENTS

are denoted with an (*) at February 28:

NOTE 6 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of the Company and funds managed by the Trustee. As the Company
is the sponsoring entity of the Plan, these transactions, as well as all related to the Trustee,
qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
NOTE 7 TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue the Plan, they may, by action of the
Board of Directors, terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is
terminated, the participants become fully vested in their accounts, and the Plan administrator is
to distribute each participants interest to the participant or their beneficiary.
