Forward - looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward - looking. These forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this presentation and on the current expectations of FGMC’s and iCoreConnect’s respective management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward - looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of FGMC and iCoreConnect. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward - looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions. These forward - looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the business combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals (including approval from antitrust regulators) are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect FGMC or the expected benefits of the business combination, if not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; the ability of FGMC prior to the business combination, and the combined company following the business combination, to maintain the listing of FGMC’s shares on Nasdaq; costs related to the business combination; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the business combination, including the approval of the business combination agreement by the shareholders of FGMC and iCoreConnect , the risk that the business combination may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the stated deadline; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FGMC or iCoreConnect related to the business combination; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel following the business combination, the combined company’s ability following the business combination to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance iCoreConnect’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in iCoreConnect’s industry; the uncertain effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic; future financial performance of the combined company following the business combination; the ability of the combined company to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; the risk that the business combination disrupt current plans and operations of iCoreConnect as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; the possibility that iCoreConnect may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; the evolution of the markets in which iCoreConnect competes, including ecommerce; the ability of iCoreConnect to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences and trends; the ability of iCoreConnect to implement its existing strategic initiatives and continue to innovate their existing products; the ability of iCoreConnect to defend its intellectual property; the risk that iCoreConnect may not be able to execute its growth strategies and the timing of expected business milestones; the risk that iCoreConnect may not be able to recognize revenue for its products and services or secure additional contracts that generate revenue; and iCoreConnect’s performance, capabilities, strategy, and outlook. The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward - looking statements. There may be additional risks that FGMC and iCoreConnect do not presently know, or that FGMC and iCoreConnect currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward - looking statements. In addition, forward - looking statements reflect FGMC’s and iCoreConnect’s current expectations, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward - looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward - looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward - looking statements in this presentation, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of FGMC and iCoreConnect described in the joint preliminary proxy statement and a preliminary prospectus contained in the Form S - 4 registration statement that FGMC and iCoreConnect have filed with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein. FGMC and iCoreConnect anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while FGMC and iCoreConnect may elect to update these forward - looking statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward - looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FGMC’s or iCoreConnect’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward - looking statements.
Disclaimer 5 Use of Projections Use of Projections This Presentation contains projected financial information with respect to the annualized recurring revenue of ICCT for 2022 – 2023. Such projected financial information constitutes forward - looking information and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. For instance, ICCT’s projected financial information incorporated certain financial and operational assumptions, including, without limitation, the receipt of sufficient new financing by ICCT to operate its business until the closing of the Transaction and the ability to onboard new customers on a timely basis, which are based on information available at the time the forecasts were made, have not been updated since such date, and should not be regarded as an indication that iCoreConnect or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be predictive of actual future results. See “Forward - Looking Statements” above. Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. Neither the independent auditors of FGMC nor the independent registered public accounting firm of iCoreConnect has audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S - X. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any proxy statement, registration statement, or prospectus to be filed by FGMC and ICCT with the SEC. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as annualized recurring revenue, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Annualized recurring revenue is defined as recurring revenue for the month of December multiplied by 12. These measures are not measurements of iCoreConnect’s financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to net income, net cash flows provided by operating activities, total net cash flows or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to net cash flows from operating activities or total net cash flows as measures of iCoreConnect’s liquidity. FGMC and iCoreConnect believe annualized recurring revenue provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to ICCT’s financial condition and results of operations. FGMC and ICCT believe that the use of annualized recurring revenue provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing ICCT’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider annualized recurring revenue in isolation or as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The use of annualized recurring revenue instead of GAAP measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider annualized recurring revenue in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of ICCT’s results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP. ICCT and FGMC cannot assure you that their estimates and assumptions will prove to be accurate. You should review ICCT’s audited financial statements, which are included in the registration statement relating to the proposed transactions. In addition, all ICCT’s historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change.
