1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Iconic Brands, Inc., formerly Paw Spa, Inc. (“Iconic Brands” or “Iconic”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 21, 2005. Our plan wasEffective December 31, 2016, Iconic closed on a May 15, 2015 agreement 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.acquire a 51% interest in BiVi LLC (“Harbrew New York”BiVi”), 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 27,352,301 shares of our Common Stock at the Closing, or approximately 64% of the 42,510,301 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.
BiVi was organized in Nevada on May 4, 2015. Bellissima was organized in Nevada on November 23, 2015.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BasisPrinciples of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iconic, its three 51% owned subsidiaries BiVi, Bellissima, and Green Grow Farms Inc. (“Green Grow”), and United Spirits, Inc., a variable interest entity of Iconic (see Note 5) (collectively, the “Company”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realizationeliminated in consolidation.
(b) Use of assets and liquidationEstimates
The preparation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as of March 31, 2013, the Company had negative working capital of $381,320 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,214,526. Further, from inception to March 31, 2013, the Company incurred losses of $11,170,737. These factors create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to improve its financial condition by reorganizing and acquiring a new business. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing this objective. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
(c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for interim financial informationinstruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.
In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is carried at face value less any unamortized debt discounts.

(Unaudited)
(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with instructionsoriginal maturities of ninety days or less to Form 10-Q. be cash equivalents.
(e) Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company extends unsecured credit to customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates risk by performing credit checks and by actively pursuing past due accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on customer historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $18,168 and $0, respectively.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market, with due consideration given to obsolescence and to slow moving items. Inventory at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consists of cases of BiVi Vodka and cases of Bellissima sparkling wines purchased from our Italian suppliers.
(g) Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) which establishes revenue recognition standards. ASU 2014-19 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 has not had a significant effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Revenue from product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and fixed price criteria are satisfied through purchase orders. Collectability criteria are satisfied through credit approvals. Delivery criteria are satisfied when the products are shipped to a customer and title and risk of loss passes to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. The Company has no obligation to accept the return of products sold other than for replacement of damaged products. Other than quantity price discounts negotiated with customers prior to billing and delivery (which are reflected as a reduction in sales), the Company does not offer any sales incentives or other rebate arrangements to customers.
(h) Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs to deliver product to customers are reported as operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs to purchase inventory are capitalized and expensed to cost of sales when revenue is recognized on the sale of product to customers.

(i) Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, stock-based compensation was $775,700 and $23,250, respectively.
(j) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the respective taxing authorities. Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflectit is not more likely than not that some portion or all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results todeferred tax assets will be expected for any subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2013. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.
(k) Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and to be issued to Escrow Agent (see Note 10) during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and to be issued to Escrow Agent (see Note 10) and dilutive securities (such as stock options, warrants, and convertible securities) outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted net income (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation.

(l) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-2 (Topic 842) which establishes a new lease accounting model for lessees. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize right of use assets and liabilities for most leases having terms of 12 months or more. We adopted this new accounting guidance using the effective date transition method, which permits entities to apply the new lease standards using a modified retrospective transition approach at the date of adoption. As such, historical periods will continue to be measured and presented under the previous guidance while current and future periods are subject to this new accounting guidance. Upon adoption we recorded a $100,681 right-of-use asset related to our one operating lease (see Note 12 F) and a $100,681 lease liability.

On July 13, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11. Among other things, ASU 2017-11 provides guidance that eliminates the requirement to consider “down round” features when determining whether certain financial instruments or embedded features are indexed to an entity’s stock and need to be classified as liabilities. ASU 2017-11 provides for entities to recognize the effect of a down round feature only when it is triggered and then as a dividend and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in basic earnings per share. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2019, the Company has reflected a $2,261,039 reduction of the derivative liability on warrants (see Note 9) and a $2,261,039 cumulative effect adjustment reduction of accumulated deficit.
Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.
(m) Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been reclassifiedprepared 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, 2019 of $20,333,818 and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to conformcontinue as a going concern.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. The management of the Company has developed a strategy which it believes will accomplish this objective through additional equity investments 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 current year presentation.
3. INVESTMENT IN BIVI LLC
On May 15, 2015, Iconic entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement by and among the members of BiVi LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“BiVi”), under which Iconic acquired a 51% majority interest in BiVi in exchange for the issuance of (a) 4,000 shares of restricted common stock and (b) 1,000 shares of newly created Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.
Prior to May 15, 2015, BiVi was beneficially owned and controlled by Richard DeCicco, the controlling shareholder and chief executive officer of Iconic Brands, Inc.
4. INVESTMENT IN BELLISSIMA SPIRITS LLC

9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY ON CONVERTIBLE DEBT
In September 2018, the then Company entered into Securities Exchange Agreements and other agreements with holders of all convertible debt then outstanding to have such debt satisfied (which occurred effective October 4, 2018 – see Note 8). Accordingly, the Company reduced the then derivative liability from $255,294 at September 30, 2018 to $0.
10. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY ON WARRANTS
From September 2017 to November 2017, in connection with the sale of a total of 480,000 shares of common stock (see Note 11), the Company issued a total of 480,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to the respective investors. The Warrants were exercisable into ICNB common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. The $56,500 face value of the 8% convertible note outstanding at December 31, 2012 was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 60% of the Market Price, as defined. As a result of the discharge of the claims scheduled in the voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on March 13, 2013 (see Notes 6 and 8), we have reversed this debt and recognized a gain from the United States Bankruptcy Court Discharge of Indebtedness (included in income from discontinued operations).
Effective May 21, 2018, in connection with the Company to issue 13,020,200,000 common shares to this lender (or over 99% of the 13,074,561,412 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding after this lender’s conversion). However, by virtue of his ownership of the 1 share of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. DeCicco would retain voting control of the Company.

Accordingly, the Company has maintained a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset in the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013.June 30, 2019. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.

Going Concern
As a result of assetsour current financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and liabilities2017 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and generate more revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this we may not be able to continue as an operating company. Until we are able to grow revenues sufficient to meet our operating expenses, we must continue to raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. There is no assurance that our cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our operating expenses and capital requirements.

Royalties increased primarily due to the minimum royalty fees relating to the Hooters agreement signed July 23, 2018 and downward royalty adjustments in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of Bellisima special promotion program expenses incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Occupancy Costs
Occupancy costs were $27,932 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $36,696 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $8,764 or 23.9%. The decrease was a result of lower warehouse rental costs.
Travel and Entertainment
Travel and entertainment expenses were $79,445 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $68,986 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $10,459 or 15.2%. The increase was a result of travel related to new product development.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses were $110,605 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $73,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $37,296 or 50.9%. The increase was a result of salary expense for employees not on the payroll in the same period in 2018. Other operating expenses include salaries, automobile, insurance, office expenses and expenses relating to Christie Brinkley appearances at Bellissima promotions.
Net Operating Income (Loss)
We had a net operating loss of $779,503 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $297,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $482,153 or 162%. Our net operating loss increased, as set forth above, primarily because certain operating expenses, primarily professional and consulting fees and other operating expenses, increased.
Other Income/Expense
Total other income was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $284,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to reductions of our derivative liability income.
Our previously outstanding convertible notes contained variable conversion features based on the future trading price of our common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes were indeterminate. Accordingly, we recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability dropped to zero at December 31, 2018 after we entered into Securities Exchange Agreements with the holders of all convertible debt. For further details, see Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Net Loss attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity
The net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries and variable interest entity represents 49% of the net loss of Bellissima, BiVi and Green Grow (which we own 51%) and 100% of United Spirits (which we own 0%) and is accounted for as a reduction in the net loss attributable to the Company. This net loss was $90,396 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $91,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $956 or 1.1%. The net loss from other entities decreased as a result of all the changes discussed above.
Net Loss Attributable to Iconic Brands, Inc.
The net loss attributable to Iconic Brands, Inc. was $689,107 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $588,328 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $100,779.

Professional and consulting fees consist primarily of legal and accounting and auditing services.

Special Promotion Program with Customer
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred an expense of $597,138 in connection with a product promotion with a large customer. We did not have a similar expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and do not expect to incur such an expense in the foreseeable future.

The increase was a result of salary expense for employees not on the payroll in the same period in 2018.

Net Operating Income (Loss)
We had a net operating loss of $1,761,867 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $1,062,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $699,133 or 65.8%. Our net operating loss increased, as set forth above, primarily because certain operating expenses, primarily professional and consulting fees and other operating expenses, increased.
Other Income/Expense
Total other income was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $284,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to reductions of our derivative liability income.
Our previously outstanding convertible notes contained variable conversion features based on the future trading price of our common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes were indeterminate. Accordingly, we recorded the fair value of the embedded conversion features at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability dropped to zero at December 31, 2018 after we entered into Securities Exchange Agreements with the holders of all convertible debt. For further details, see Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Net Loss attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2019 was $298,520, which was derived from the sale of Series E preferred stock and warrants. Our monthly cash flow burn rate for 2018 was approximately $146,000, and our monthly burn rate through the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $118,000. We have strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are as follows:

Our cash increased $107,057 and total current assets increased $12,296. Our total current liabilities increased as our accounts payable and accrued expenses increased, reflecting our increase in professional and consulting fees. Our total liabilities decreased $1,795,768. Our stockholders’ (deficiency) equity increased from ($3,037,366) to $304,085 due primarily to (i) the cumulative effect adjustment of $2,261,039 reducing the derivative liability on warrants to $0 effective January 1, 2019 and (ii) the issuance of common stock valued at $1,250,000 in connection with the acquisition of 51% of Green Grow Farms, Inc.
In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of June 30, 2019 was $289,520. Based on our minimal sales and annualized monthly burn rate of approximately $118,000 per month, we will need to continue to fund operations by raising capital from the sale of our stock and debt financings.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, are designedas defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2019, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we filefiled or submitsubmitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, ofincluding to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the United States Securitiesreports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and Exchange Commission. Ourcommunicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))concluded that as of March 31, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report and have concluded thatJune 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information relatingat the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in our Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers are determined to make our disclosure controls and procedures effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company is recorded, processed, summarized,have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and reportedthat breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a timely manner.
(b) Changes in Internal ControlsControl over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the three month period ended June 30, 2019, that havehas materially affected, or areis reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.
In the voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the United States Bankruptcy Coderesolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern Districtopinion of New York filedour management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on September 23, 2011 by Iconic Imports, Inc. (“Imports”), a wholly-owned subsidiaryour financial position or results of the Company, was closed.
