REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Of TopPop LLC.,
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TopPop LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the related statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TopPop LLC as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s fiscal year 2020 sales was $2,598,486. The increase in sales is primarily due to revenue generated from three new customers.
How the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit:
Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s sales included:
|
1. |
Reviewed the Company’s revenue recognition process and ascertained the Company has adopted ASC 606. |
|
2. |
Performed detail testing on sales, including the three customers that accounted for majority of the sales. |
|
3. |
Performed sales cutoff procedures to verify sales are recorded in the proper period. |
|
4. |
Considered the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements in relation to sales. |

TOPPOP LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND DECEMBER 31, 2019
Note 1. ORGANIZATON AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
TopPop LLC (the “Company”) is organized as a limited liability company in the State of New Jersey on September 5, 2019. The Company’s primary operation is the manufacture and packaging of single-serve, shelf-stable, ready-to-freeze ice pops, both alcohols infused and non-alcoholic. The Company began operations in December 2019.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, virtually all sales were generated from contracts with three major customers. Customers are primarily national breweries and beverage manufacturers.
Note 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. Contracts include payment terms ranging from 30 to 60 days of receipt of a correct invoice. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customers. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $220,147 and $0, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials to be used in the production process. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out method. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in tin the period in which it occurs. No inventory loss was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Company’s agreements with customers require that certain materials used in production be purchased from suppliers designated by the customer.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial position. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Financial instruments include cash, receivables, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances from prospective customers/distributors and due to related parties. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. The initial lease liability is equal to the future fixed minimum lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, on a secured basis. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset is equal to the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. The Company adopted ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customers. The five-step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has concluded that the new guidance did not require any significant change to its revenue recognition processes.

Table of Contents |
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state tax purposes. Income taxes are not payable by the Company. Members of limited liability companies are taxed individually on their applicable share of earnings. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. Net income or loss is allocated to each member in accordance with the terms of the limited liability company agreement.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company has elected to change its current classification from being taxed as a partnership to being taxed as a C corporation. On July 20, 2021, the Company revoked its C corporation election prior to being acquired by Iconic Brands, Inc., see Note 13.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expenses totaled
$724 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of sales when they are incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the Balance Sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Statement of Operations. As a nonpublic entity and as allowed by FASB ASU 2020-05 issued June 3, 2020, the Company has elected its option to defer adoption of the revised lease standard until its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2020 of $1,683,459 and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and attaining profitable operations. The management of the Company has developed a strategy which it believes will accomplish these objectives and which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year. However, there is no assurance that these objectives will be met. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In April 2020, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with one of its members, InnoAccel Investments LLC (“InnoAccel”). Three promissory notes were issued under the loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2020. The total available amount under the three promissory notes was $1,035,000. The loan proceeds are to be used to finance receivables from MPL Brands and are to be used only for approved working capital costs. The advance rate is 80% of approved receivables. Interest (finance fees) is assessed at 1.95% of the advance amount for each 30 day period the advance is outstanding. Interest on each advance is payable upon the maturity date. Each promissory note matures six months from the issuance date. Principal and unpaid accrued interest are due and payable the earlier of the date of payment by MPL Brands of the receivable being financed or three months from the date of the advance. The note is secured by a lien on all assets of the Company, subordinate to liens of Prestige Capital Finance, LLC.
If an advance and accrued finance fees are not repaid within 30 days after the maturity date or payment is prohibited under a subordination agreement, InnoAccel shall have the right to convert all or a part of accrued and future finance fees into equity membership interests in the Company.

Prestige has full recourse against the Company for advances if payments are not received for any reason. All credit risk is borne by the Company and not by Prestige. Prestige pays a down payment to the Company of 80% of the face value of the specified receivables. The maximum outstanding balance of the advance is $1,500,000. Prestige’s final purchase price of the accounts receivable is at a discount which is deducted from the face value of each account upon collection. The discount fee is based upon the number of days the account receivable is outstanding from the date of the down payment. The discount fee ranges from 1.95% if the receivable is paid within 30 days to 5.85% if paid within 90 days, plus an additional 1.5% for each 10-day period thereafter until the account is paid in full.
The outstanding balance is secured by an interest in virtually all assets of the Company, with a first security interest in accounts receivable. The agreement remains in effect through July 24, 2021 and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of one year each unless either party terminates the agreement in writing at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term. Prestige may cancel the agreement at any time upon 60 days’ notice.

(Unaudited)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial position. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Financial instruments include cash, receivables, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances from prospective customers/distributors and due to related parties. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. The initial lease liability is equal to the future fixed minimum lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, on a secured basis. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset is equal to the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. The Company adopted ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customers. The five-step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company has concluded that the new guidance did not require any significant change to its revenue recognition processes.
Income Taxes
The Company is organized as a limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal and state tax purposes. Income taxes are not payable by the Company. Members of limited liability companies are taxed individually on their applicable share of earnings. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. Net income or loss is allocated to each member in accordance with the terms of the limited liability company agreement.
Effective January 1, 2021, the Company has elected to change its current classification from being taxed as a partnership to being taxed as a C corporation. Therefore, future financial statements will include a provision for income taxes. On July 20, 2021, the Company revoked its C corporation election prior to being acquired by Iconic Brands, Inc., see Note 13.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expenses totaled
$243,393 and $16,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Shipping and Handling Costs:
Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of sales when they are incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the Balance Sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Statement of Operations. As a nonpublic entity and as allowed by FASB ASU 2020-05 issued June 3, 2020, the Company has elected its option to defer adoption of the revised lease standard until its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2021 of $1,422,152 and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and attaining profitable operations. The management of the Company has developed a strategy which it believes will accomplish these objectives and which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year. However, there is no assurance that these objectives will be met. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 6 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
In April 2020, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with one of its members, InnoAccel Investments LLC (“InnoAccel”). Three promissory notes were issued under the loan agreement during the year ended December 31, 2020. The total available amount under the three promissory notes was $1,035,000. The loan proceeds are to be used to finance receivables from MPL Brands and are to be used only for approved working capital costs. The advance rate is 80% of approved receivables. Interest (finance fees) is assessed at 1.95% of the advance amount for each 30 day period the advance is outstanding. Interest on each advance is payable upon the maturity date. Each promissory note matures six months from the issuance date. Principal and unpaid accrued interest are due and payable the earlier of the date of payment by MPL Brands of the receivable being financed or three months from the date of the advance. The note is secured by a lien on all assets of the Company, subordinate to liens of Prestige Capital Finance, LLC.
If an advance and accrued finance fees are not repaid within 30 days after the maturity date or payment is prohibited under a subordination agreement, InnoAccel shall have the right to convert all or a part of accrued and future finance fees into equity membership interests in the Company.
At December 31, 2020, Notes 1 and 2 and all accrued interest were converted to equity membership interests. A total of $574,886 of the outstanding loan balance and accrued interest were converted to equity. InnoAccel received an additional 22.26% membership equity interest as a result of the conversion. In addition, InnoAccel received an additional 5% interest in accordance with the operating agreement since no distributions were made in 2020.
On February 28, 2021 InnoAccel converted Note 3 into $178,589 in additional membership equity,
The outstanding balance of convertible promissory notes as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were $0 and $451,000, respectively.
NOTE 7 - ADVANCES UNDER FINANCING AGREEMENT
The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Prestige Capital Finance, LLC (“Prestige”). Under the agreement, Prestige buys all of the Company’s right, title, and interest in specific accounts receivable. Prestige has full recourse against the Company for advances if payments are not received for any reason. All credit risk is borne by the Company and not by Prestige. Prestige pays a down payment to the Company of 80% of the face value of the specified receivables. The maximum outstanding balance of the advance is $1,500,000. Prestige’s final purchase price of the accounts receivable is at a discount which is deducted from the face value of each account upon collection. The discount fee is based upon the number of days the account receivable is outstanding from the date of the down payment. The discount fee ranges from 1.95% if the receivable is paid within 30 days to 5.85% if paid within 90 days, plus an additional 1.5% for each 10 day period thereafter until the account is paid in full.
The outstanding balance is secured by an interest in virtually all assets of the Company, with a first security interest in accounts receivable. The agreement remains in effect through July 24, 2021 and will be automatically renewed for successive periods of one year each unless either party terminates the agreement in writing at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term. Prestige may cancel the agreement at any time upon 60 days’ notice.
The Company accounts for this agreement as a financing arrangement, with the down payments recorded as debt and repayment made when the applicable receivable is collected. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 202 was $1,746,545 and $38,442, respectively. Accrued interest at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $11,679 and $1,572, respectively.

Iconic Brands, Inc. and TopPop
Notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information
Note 1 — Description of the Acquisition
On July 26, 2021, Iconic Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an acquisition agreement (the “TopPop Acquisition Agreement”) with TopPop LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“TopPop”), and each of FrutaPop LLC (“Frutapop”), Innoaccel Investments LLC (“Innoaccel”) and Thomas Martin (“Martin” and, together with Frutapop and Innoaccel, the “TopPop Members”), pursuant to which the TopPop Members sold to the Company and the Company acquired, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of TopPop.
TopPop is a brand owner and contract manufacturing and packaging company specializing in flexible packaging solutions in the food, beverage and health categories. Its first branded and contract products are alcohol-infused ice pops. Its manufacturing facility in Marlton, New Jersey is registered by the Federal Drug Administration and holds a Safe Quality Food certification.
Upon consummation of the acquisition contemplated by the TopPop Acquisition Agreement, the TopPop Members received, in the aggregate: (a) $3,995,000 in cash by transfer of immediately available funds, (b) 26,009,600 shares of Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which shares were valued in the aggregate at $8,128,000, or $0.3125 per share, (c) $4,900,000.00 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes of the Company (the “Promissory Notes”) and (d) future additional cash payments as earnout consideration (the “Total Consideration”). The earn-out payments, if any, will be made (i) following the 12-month period commencing on August 1, 2021 (the “First Year”), in an amount (the “First Year Earn-out Amount”) equal to each TopPop Member’s pro rata portion of the excess, if any, of: (A) 1.96 times TopPop’s EBITDA for the First Year over (B) the aggregate amount of the Promissory Notes repaid in cash during the First Year; provided, however, no First Year Earn-out Amount shall be payable if (i)(A) does not exceed (i)(B); and (ii) following the 12-month period commencing on August 1, 2022 (the “Second Year”), in an amount (the “Second Year Earn-out Amount”) equal to each TopPop Member’s pro rata portion of the excess, if any, of: (A) 1.96 times TopPop’s EBITDA for the Second Year over (B) the aggregate amount of the Promissory Notes repaid in cash during the Second Year; provided, however, no Second Year Earn-out Amount shall be payable if (ii)(A) does not exceed (ii)(B). The earn-out payments shall be made, at the election of each TopPop Member, in cash or in shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, less any reserve for possible indemnification payments, provided that not less than 45% of the value of each earn-out payment shall be paid in Common Stock. If paid in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at the then-prevailing market rate.
The Promissory Notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and mature on July 26, 2022. The Promissory Notes are not subject to pre-payment penalties; however, the Company may not pre-pay any amount on any Promissory Note without pre-paying a pro-rata portion of all Promissory Notes. In connection with the Promissory Notes, the Company granted to the TopPop Members a security interest in all of the Company’s membership interests of TopPop pursuant to certain pledge agreements (the “Pledge Agreements”) with each of the TopPop Members, each dated July 26, 2021. The Promissory Notes are not convertible into equity securities of the Company.
The TopPop Acquisition Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and customary indemnification obligations with regards to breaches of the representation and warranties of the Company, TopPop and the TopPop Members. With regards to breaches of ordinary representations, the Company’s indemnitees are only entitled to recover losses in excess of $100,000. Losses incurred by either party’s indemnitees as a result of breaches of ordinary representations are subject to a cap of $2,000,000. The TopPop Members’ total liability for any indemnifiable losses, in the aggregate, may not exceed the Total Consideration.
The TopPop Acquisition Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other. Investors in, and security holders of, the Company should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts since they were made only as of the date of the TopPop Acquisition Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representation and warranties may change after the date of the TopPop Acquisition Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the combined company is presented to illustrate the proposed effects of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Final Rule Release No. 33-10786 ”Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaced the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The combined company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Acquisition involving Iconic Brands and TopPop under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations, with Iconic Brands treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of TopPop are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value, defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and added to those of Iconic Brands which are based on its respective historical financial information.
ASC 820 defines the term “fair value” and sets forth the valuation requirements for any asset or liability measured at fair value, expands related disclosure requirements and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on the nature of the inputs used to develop the fair value measures. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. As a result of these standards, the Company may be required to record assets which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at fair value measures that do not reflect the intended use of those assets. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is also possible that others, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.
Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the Transaction Accounting Adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded might differ materially from the information presented.
Upon consummation of the Acquisition, a final determination of the fair value of TopPop’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Company’s statement of operations following the consummation of the Acquisition. The final consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for illustrative and information purposes only and is not intended to represent or necessarily be indicative of the combined company’s results of operations or financial condition had the Acquisition been completed on the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project Company’s results of operations or financial condition for any future period or as of any future date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include any expected cost savings or operating synergies, which may be realized subsequent to the combination or the impact of any non-recurring activity and one-time transaction-related or integration-related items. Moreover, the pro forma adjustments represent best estimates based upon the information available to date and are preliminary and subject to change after more detailed information is obtained.

|
Note 3 — Accounting Policies and Reclassification Adjustments
The Company has not identified all adjustments necessary to conform TopPop’s accounting policies to Iconic Brands’ accounting policies. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, or as more information becomes available, the Company will perform a more detailed review of TopPop’s accounting policies. Upon consummation of the Acquisition, the Company will perform a comprehensive review of its accounting policies. The Company may, as a result, identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined consolidated financial statements.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of TopPop are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value and added to those of Iconic Brands. The determination of fair value used in the pro forma adjustments are presented herein.
Note 4 — Acquisition Consideration

Note 5 — Purchase Price Allocation
Iconic Brands has performed a preliminary allocation of the Acquisition Consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of TopPop. Using the total Acquisition Consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has valued the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The purchase price allocation is based on financial information of TopPop as of the closing date which represents the best information available to management at the time of this filing.

Goodwill represents the excess of Acquisition Consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. In accordance with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill will not be amortized but rather subject to annual impairment test, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill recorded in the Acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Iconic Brands management is still in the process of valuing any identifiable intangible assets, to which the valuation may impact the final goodwill amount. |
This purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the condensed combined pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations and is described in more detail in the explanatory notes in Note 6 — Pro Forma Adjustments.
