Iconic Brands, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information as of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is Unaudited)
 

1.  
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Iconic Brands was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2005. Our plan was to provide mobile grooming and spa services for cats and dogs. Our services were going to include bathing, hair cutting and styling, brushing/combing, flea and tick treatments, nail maintenance and beautification, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, hot oil treatments, and massage. We did not have any business operations and failed to generate any revenues.  We abandoned this business, as we lacked sufficient capital resources.  On June 10, 2009, the Company acquired Harbrew Imports, Ltd. (“Harbrew New York”), a New York corporation incorporated on September 8, 1999 which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Harbrew Imports, Ltd. Corp. (“Harbrew Florida”), a Florida Corporation incorporated on January 4, 2007.  On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the designees of Harbrew New York 27,151,984 shares of our Common Stock at the Closing, or approximately 64% of the 42,310,301 shares outstanding subsequent to the merger.  After the merger, Harbrew New York continued as the surviving company under the laws of the state of New York and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In anticipation of the merger between Iconic Brands, Inc. and Harbrew New York, on May 1, 2009 the Board of Directors and a majority of shareholders of Harbrew New York approved the amendment of its Articles of Incorporation changing its name to Iconic Imports, Inc. (Iconic Imports). On June 22, 2009, this action was filed with the New York State Department of State.

Prior to the merger on June 10, 2009, Iconic Brands had no assets, liabilities, or business operations.  Accordingly, the merger has been treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer Harbrew New York/Iconic Imports and the financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, and operations of Harbrew New York/Iconic Imports from its inception on September 8, 1999 to June 10, 2009 and combined with Iconic Brands thereafter.  Iconic Brands and its wholly-owned subsidiary Harbrew New York/Iconic Imports are hereafter referred to as the “Company”.

The Company is a brand owner of self-developed alcoholic beverages.  Furthermore, the Company imports, markets and sells these beverages throughout the United States and globally.

Effective June 10, 2009, prior to the merger, Harbrew Florida effected a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of its common stock, reducing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 24,592,160 to 24,909, which includes a total of 317 shares resulting from the rounding of fractional shares.  All share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On March 11, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an investor whereby the Company sold the investor 100,000 restricted shares of common stock issuable to the investor upon consummation of the merger for $100,000 cash.

On June 10, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued to the designees of Harbrew New York 27,151,984 shares of Common Stock at the Closing.  Of this amount;

1)  
24,592 shares were issued to Harbrew Florida stockholders,
2)  
19,634,112 shares valued at $1,963,411 were issued to Company management and employees for services, including 15,972,359 shares to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 100,000 shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and 2,586,753 shares to Donald Chadwell,
3)  
2,086,973 shares valued at $208,697  were issued to Danny DeVito and affiliates for services,
4)  
4,406,307 shares were issued to noteholders in satisfaction of $2,025,625 of debt and $177,529 of accrued interest, and
5)  
1,000,000 shares were issued to Capstone as part of the Termination Agreement.

Also, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement the Company issued 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock valued at $100,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for services and 916,603 shares of Series B Preferred Stock valued at $1,833,206 to Capstone as part of the Termination Agreement.

The one share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder to two votes for every share of Common Stock Deemed Outstanding and has no conversion or dividend rights.  Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share, has no voting rights, and is convertible into one share of Common Stock at the lower of (1) $2.00 per share or, (2) the volume weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the Conversion Date.


8.  
  INCOME TAXES

From September 9, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2006, the Company filed its Federal and New York income tax returns as an S Corporation.  Accordingly, the net income (loss) of the Company for this period was includible in the tax returns of the Company shareholders and the Company was not subject to income tax.

No provision for income taxes was recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 since the Company incurred a net loss in these periods.

Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $2,476,081 attributable to the future utilization of the $7,074,518 net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 2008 will be realized.

Iconic Brands, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information as of and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is Unaudited)

Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at December 31, 2008.  The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.  The $7,074,518 net operating loss carryforward expires $3,395,185 in 2027 and $3,679,333 in 2028.

Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

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

The following discussion is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our business, financial condition and operating performance and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of any number of factors, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

OUR BUSINESS

Prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, Harbrew New York was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbrew Florida.  Harbrew Florida was incorporated in the state of Florida on January 4, 2007, under the former name Stassi Harbrew Imports Corp., pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Approved Reorganization Plan for the Stassi Interaxx, Inc. (“Stassi”) reorganization confirmed on December 20, 2006. On May 17, 2007, Harbrew Florida acquired Harbrew New York, a New York corporation incorporated on September 8, 1999 engaged in importing and wholesaling spirits, wine and beer.  As a result, Harbrew New York became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harbrew Florida.

On June 10, 2009, Merger Sub, Harbrew Florida, Harbrew New York and we entered into a Merger Agreement which resulted in Harbrew New York becoming our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”).  The Merger was accomplished by means of a Merger Agreement in which Harbrew New York merged with and into Merger Sub and each share of Harbrew’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into one share of Iconic Brands’ common stock.  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and as a result of the Merger:

· 
Harbrew New York became our wholly owned subsidiary;
   
· 
In exchange for all of the shares of Harbrew common stock, each share of Harbrew’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into one share of Iconic Brands’ common stock;
 
This transaction closed on June 10, 2009.

Prior to the merger on June 10, 2009, we had no assets, liabilities, or business operations.  Accordingly, the merger has been treated for accounting purposes as a recapitalization by the accounting acquirer, Harbrew New York, and the financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, and operations of Harbrew New York from its inception on September 8, 1999 to June 10, 2009 and us thereafter.  References to our company are with respect to Harbrew New York to June 10, 2009 and us thereafter.

We are in the business of importing and wholesaling spirits, wine and beer to distributors in the United States on a national basis and to retail licensees both on and off premise in New York, through our wholesale license.  We are federally licensed, maintaining licenses to both import and sell to wholesale licensed distributors in 51 markets in the United States.  In addition to the federal import and wholesale licenses, we maintain a federal customs bonded facility license for our premises in Lindenhurst, New York.  Within the licensing category, we also maintain a New York State wholesale license and a New York State warehousing license, permitting us to warehouse products of other companies.

Sales:

Sales decreased by approximately $470,000, or 58%, from $806,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 to $336,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease in sales reflects the Company’s re-focus on its celebrity branded products as it directs resources to its organically developed brand portfolio as opposed to the distribution of the products of others.
 
Cost of goods sold:

Cost of revenue decreased by $422,000, or 65%, from $650,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 to $228,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009. This decrease in COGS is consistent with the decrease in sales for the period as the Company shifts its focus and resources towards its organically developed brand portfolio
 
- 20 -

 
Gross profit:

Gross profit decreased by $48,000, or 31%, from $156,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 to $108,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 mainly due to the decrease in sales as the Company refocuses its resources to its organically developed brands.

Selling, general and administrative expenses:

Selling general and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $3,264,000 and $1,437,000, respectively, an increase of $1,827,000, or 127%. The increase was due to professional fees incurred in connection with financing activities, and the reflecting of $2,063,000 in costs associated with stock-based compensation issued in connection with the merger.

Income (loss) from Operations:

Loss from operations was $3,157,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and $1,281,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.  The increase in the loss from operations for the period resulted from the decrease in sales and the increase in expenses, principally the costs associated with stock based compensation expense, as previously described. 

Interest Expense:

Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $572,000 and $584,000, respectively, a decrease of $12,000, or 2%. The decrease in interest expense for the period was a result of a rate reset by our largest creditor, and the conversion of convertible debt to equity.

Net Income (loss):

Net loss was $3,729,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to $1,865,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1,864,000, or 100%. The increase in the net loss for the period was a result of decreased sales, increased professional fees incurred relating to financing activities, and increased costs associated with stock based compensation.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2009, we had negative working capital of $2,321,649 compared to negative working capital of $5,013,393 at December 31, 2008. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 was $1,155.

Our primary uses of cash have been for selling and marketing expenses, employee compensation, new product development and working capital. The main sources of cash have been from the financing of purchase orders and the factoring of accounts receivable. In addition, we issued convertible notes and promissory notes to bridge the gap between our primary lender and our working capital requirements. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and establishing the brand portfolios. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:
 
· 
An increase in working capital requirements to finance higher level of inventories and accounts receivable,
 
· 
Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
 
· 
Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as the company expands within existing markets or enters new markets,
 
- 21 -

 
· 
Development of new brands to complement our current celebrity portfolio, and
 
· 
The cost of being a public company and the continued increase in costs due to governmental compliance activities.
 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
 
A substantial portion of our available cash has been used to fund operating activities. In general, these cash funding requirements are based on operating losses, driven principally by our sizeable investment in selling and marketing, and general expenses. The business has incurred significant losses since inception.
 
For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $89,923, consisting primarily of losses from operations of $(3,728,742), offset by a non-cash charge for stock-based compensation of $2,462,892, decreases in receivables of $295,803, decreases in inventories of $147,314, decreases in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $247,406, and increases in accrued expenses of $474,936.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $5,142 and $0, respectively.
 
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, funds used in financing activities amounted to $94,596 resulting from $194,596 replayment of debt ,offset by $100,000 raised from the sale of common stock.
 
We anticipate that we will need to make significant expenditures during the next 12 months, contingent upon raising capital.  These anticipated expenditures are for advertising, marketing, promotional items, overhead and working capital purposes. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We anticipate that we will require up to $7,500,000 for funding our plan of operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenues, if any, from operations.

By adjusting our operations and development to the level of capitalization, we believe we have sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits.  However, if during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations to cash flow break even. We are seeking additional investments, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However,  a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
 
Impact of Inflation

We expect to be able to pass inflationary increases for raw materials and other costs on to our customers through price increases, as required, and do not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business.
 
- 22 -

 
Seasonality

Although our operating history is limited, we do not believe our products are seasonal.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The impact on the Company's financial position and results of operation from accounting pronouncements which went effective and were adopted by the Company in the periods presented was not material. 
 
The future impact of accounting pronouncements issed by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company are not expected to be material.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
 
ITEM 4(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

On May 6, 2009 a payment of $4,129.12 was made bringing the balance to $2,549.88
