OFFERING CIRCULAR

 

Digital Development Partners, Inc.

70,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 1 (the “PQA”) amends the Offering Circular of Digital Development Partners, Inc., dated August 4, 2020, as qualified on August 4, 2020, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, to add additional shares of common stock (the “Offered Shares”) to be offered pursuant to the Offering Circular.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, will, would and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the Risk Factors section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

The following summary highlights material information contained in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before purchasing our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read this Offering Circular carefully, including the Risk Factors section and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Our Company

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2006 under the name “Cyprium Resources Inc.”, which was changed in August 2009 to “Digital Development Partners, Inc.” Through 2014, our company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry. From 2015 until the January 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Black Bird”), our company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In January 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our corporate name to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.” FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from our initial filing and our being late in filing this Annual Report. We intend to re-file for approval of the corporate name change action, at an as-yet undetermined time in the near future.

 

Founded in October 2018, Black Bird (a) manufactures and sells CBD products, including CBD Oils and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products; (b) is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program; and (c) is the exclusive distributor in the U. S. and Canada for MiteXstream, a plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of spider Founded in October 2018, Black Bird (a) manufactures and sells CBD products, including plants. EPA approval of MiteXstream was obtained effective December 16, 2020. In October 2020, we announced our company’s intention to construct an industrial hemp processing facility in Montana as the first project under our new Black Bird American Hemp division. (See “Business”).

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

The report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

There is doubt about our ability to develop as a viable business, and it is expected that we will need additional funding. Our active business operations are less than two years old. Our current efforts are focused on developing sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products, while our parallel long-term efforts are focused on obtaining biopesticide certification for our MiteXstream product and the establishment of a hemp processing facility. To date, we have derived a modest level of revenues. We must obtain capital, in order to pursue our complete plan of business. Further, there can be no assurance that any one of our business activities will prove to be successful.

 

It is possible that the novel Coronavirus pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic result in long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to establish our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness.

 

We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to pursue our growth strategy. We do not possess sufficient financial resources to implement our complete business plan. We are currently seeking available sources of capital. There is no assurance that we will obtain needed capital, nor is there any assurance that our business will be able to generate revenues that are sufficient to sustain our operations. We are not able to offer assurance that we will be able to obtain needed sources of financing to satisfy our working capital needs.

 

We do not have a successful operating history. We are without a history of successful business operations, which makes a purchase of Offered Shares speculative in nature. Because of this lack of operating history, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations are subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of our products.

 

There are risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies. As an early-stage company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome the lack of recognition for the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name and, later, the Black Bird American Hemp and MiteXstream brand names, and our lack of capital.

 

We may not be successful in establishing our business model. We are unable to offer assurance that we will be successful in bringing our products to market and earning a profit from such efforts. Should we fail to implement successfully our business plan, you can expect to lose your entire investment in the Offered Shares.

 

We may never earn a profit. Because we lack a successful operating history, we are unable to offer assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations.

If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our business, which could place a significant strain on our operations, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.

 

We currently depend on the efforts of our executive officers’ serving without current compensation; the loss of these officers could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the development of our business. Our success in establishing our business operations will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our President, Fabian G. Deneault, and our Vice President, Eric Newlan. We have not yet entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Deneault and Newlan, although we expect to do so in the near future. (See “Executive Compensation”). However, the loss of service of either of such persons, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.

 

If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.

 

Our business plan is not based on independent market studies. We have not commissioned any independent market studies concerning the market for any of our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products, for MiteXstream or for our planned other industrial hemp products. Rather, our plans for implementing our business strategy and achieving profitability are based on the experience, judgment and assumptions of our executive officers. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may not be successful in establishing our business.

 

Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegate such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We may not be able to compete effectively in our intended markets. None of our products enjoys name recognition and many of our competitors possess substantially greater resources, financial and otherwise, than does our company. There is no assurance that we will be able to establish our business and compete successfully in this environment.

 

We may suffer sluggish or negative sales growth as a result of the novel Coronavirus pandemic. It is possible that the negative economic impact caused by the novel Coronavirus pandemic will result in long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally and our ability to establish our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to survive as a going business during any such long-term economic weakness.

 

Introduction of new products by competitors could harm our competitive position and results of operations. The respective markets for our products – our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products, Black Bird American Hemp products and MiteXstream biopesticide – are characterized by severe competition, evolving industry standards, evolving business and distribution models, price cutting, with resulting downward pressure on gross margins, and price sensitivity on the part of customers. In particular, with respect to our CBD products, we face the risk that there exist minimal barriers to the entry of competitors into the market segment.

 

Our future success will depend on our ability to gain product name recognition and customer loyalty, as well as our being able to anticipate and respond to emerging standards and other unforeseen changes. If we fail to satisfy such standards of operation, our operating results could suffer. Further, intra-industry consolidations may result in stronger competitors and may, therefore, also harm our future results of operations.

 

If we fail to maintain a positive reputation with consumers concerning our products, we may not be able to develop loyalty to our products, and our operating results may be adversely affected. We believe a positive reputation with customers to be highly important in developing loyalty to our products. To the extent our products are perceived as low quality or otherwise not compelling to potential customers, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation and product loyalty may be adversely impacted.

We will be subject to payment processing risk. A portion of purchases of our products will be made online by customers using credit/debit cards. For the foreseeable future, we will rely on third parties to process payment. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain rules and regulations and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are disruptions in our payment processing systems, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted.

 

Laws and regulations affecting the regulated industrial hemp industry are in a constant state of flux, which could negatively affect our business, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us. Local, state and federal industrial hemp laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our business operations. In addition, it is likely that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our CBD business. We are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor are we able to determine the effect any such additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our CBD business.

 

FDA regulation of industrial hemp and industrial-hemp-derived CBD could negatively affect the industrial hemp industry, which could adversely affect our financial condition. While the 2018 Farm Bill recently legalized industrial hemp, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA is in the process of issuing rules and regulations, including CGMPs (certified good manufacturing practices) related to the licensing of growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of industrial hemp. Companies may need to perform clinical trials to verify efficacy and safety, which could prove costly and delay production and profits. It appears likely the FDA will require that facilities where hemp is grown be registered and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations which have not yet been released. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we are unable to predict what the impact would be on the industrial hemp industry, what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the regulations and or registration as may be prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business in its current form or at all, to the extreme detriment to our financial operating results and condition.

 

Because we manufacture and sell CBD products, it is possible that, in the future, we may have difficulty accessing the service of banks. While industrial hemp cultivation was legalized by the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA is choosing to regulate certain hemp products, including CBD. It is possible that the circumstances surrounding the FDA’s handling of CBD-related issues could cause us to have difficulty securing services from banks, in the future.

 

If our trademarks and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by competitors, the value of our brands may be diminished, and our business adversely affected. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. If the protection of our intellectual property rights is inadequate to prevent use or misappropriation by third parties, the value of our brands, including Grizzly Creek Naturals, Black Bird American Hemp and MiteXstream, may be diminished, and the perception of our products may become confused in the marketplace. In such circumstance, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our operating results can be expected to be seasonal. With respect to MiteXstream, sales can be expected to be seasonal in nature, with greater sales volumes occurring during the warmer months of the growing season. However, because our business is only in its nascent stage, we are unable to predict how our operating results will be affected by such seasonality.

 

Pests, disease, severe weather, natural disasters and other conditions could result in substantial losses to our planned industrial hemp crops and weaken our financial condition. Pests, crop disease, severe weather conditions, such as floods, droughts and windstorms, and natural disasters could adversely affect our ability to produce our planned industrial hemp crops. Should any such adverse event occur, it can be expected that we would lose our investment in the affected industrial hemp crops.

 

We could be subject to product liability claims. The sale of Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products, Black Bird American Hemp products and MiteXstream biopesticide involves, and will involve, the risk of injury to customers and others. There can be no assurance that the use or consumption of any of one of our products will not cause a health-related illness or that it will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. We intend to purchase product liability insurance during November 2020. Any claims or liabilities might not be covered by our insurance, once obtained. Thus, there is no assurance that we would not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage, resulting in cash outlays that could, if significant enough in nature, materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

  

Environmental and other regulation could adversely impact our planned industrial hemp farming business, by increasing production costs. Because our planned industrial hemp farming business can be expected to use fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural products, we will be subject to regulations relating to their use and disposal. A decision by a regulatory agency to restrict significantly the use of such products that have traditionally been used in the production of hemp could have an adverse impact on us. In addition, if a regulatory agency were to determine our company not to be in compliance with a regulation in that agency’s jurisdiction, this could result in substantial penalties.

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on our subsidiaries for our cash flow and could serve to subordinate the rights of our shareholders to the rights of creditors of our subsidiaries, in the event of an insolvency or liquidation of any such subsidiary. Our company acts as a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries will be separate and distinct legal entities. As a result, substantially all of our cash flow will depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by our subsidiaries. No subsidiary will have any obligation to provide our company with funds for our payment obligations. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our shareholders will have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before our company, as a shareholder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal.

 

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

We may seek capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.

 

Our common stock is a “Penny Stock,” which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

 

It is possible that our common stock will continue to be thinly traded and its market price highly volatile. Our common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “DGDM” in the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Link. For over the past five years, our common stock has traded sporadically and has been extremely limited in nature. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. Even with our recent acquisition of Black Bird, no assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will become robust or less volatile.

Table of Contents

   

The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

 

·

quarterly variations in our operating results;

 

·

operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;

 

·

changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors;

 

·

reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences;

 

·

changes in our capital structure;

 

·

changes in market valuations of other CBD-related companies;

 

·

announcements of innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

·

lack of success in the expansion of our business operations;

 

·

announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments in pending proceedings;

 

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

·

asset impairment;

 

·

temporary or permanent inability to offer products or services; and

 

·

rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors.

 

Future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Our current shareholders, including our officers and directors, hold shares of our restricted common stock, but will be able to sell their shares in the market. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, in general, our officers and directors and 10% shareholders, as affiliates, under Rule 144 may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities could negatively affect the market price of shares of our common stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing shareholders. In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends. Upon liquidation, it is possible that holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock would receive a distribution of our available assets before common shareholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing shareholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities, warrants or options, would dilute the holdings of our existing common shareholders and such issuances, or the perception of such issuances, could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock.

 

As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection, in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our relatively low net tangible book value per share.

 

If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net pro forma as adjusted tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2020, was $13,930 (unaudited), or $0.00 per share.

In connection with our appointment of a selling broker-dealer, we intend to enter into a standard selling agent agreement with the broker-dealer pursuant to which the broker-dealer would act as our non-exclusive sales agent in consideration of our payment of commissions of up to 7% on the sale of Offered Shares effected by the broker-dealer.

State Law Exemption and Offerings to “Qualified Purchasers”

 

The Offered Shares are being offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers” (as defined in Regulation A under the Securities Act). As a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act, this offering will be exempt from state “Blue Sky” law review, subject to certain state filing requirements and anti-fraud provisions, to the extent that the Offered Shares offered hereby are offered and sold only to “qualified purchasers”. “Qualified purchasers” include: (a) “accredited investors” under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and (b) all other investors, so long as their investment in Offered Shares does not represent more than 10% of the greater of their annual income or net worth (for natural persons), or 10% of the greater of annual revenue or net assets at fiscal year-end (for non-natural persons).

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 225,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. As of the date of this Offering Circular, there were 163,425,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 70 holders of record.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of our common stock currently have (a) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors; (b) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of our company; (c) do not have preemptive, subscriptive or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (d) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Our Bylaws provide that, at all meetings of the shareholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. On all other matters, except as otherwise required by Nevada law or our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders shall be necessary to authorize any corporate action to be taken by vote of the shareholders.

Table of Contents

  

Non-cumulative Voting

 

Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. As of the date of this Offering Circular, our officers and directors own, directly or indirectly, a total of 103,010,322 shares, or approximately 63.03%, of our outstanding common stock, which ownership percentage would be reduced to approximately 46.77%, assuming all of the Offered Shares are sold in this offering, and, thereby, control all corporate matters relating to our company. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

Pre-emptive Rights

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, no holder of any shares of our common stock has pre-emptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of our capital stock not disclosed herein.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Our bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise provided under Nevada law.

BUSINESS

 

Preliminary Statements Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there exist significant uncertainties regarding the current novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including the scope of health issues, the possible duration of the pandemic and the extent of local and worldwide social, political and economic disruption it may cause.

 

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business.

 

With respect to our business operations, while our product sales have increased since the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due primarily to our recently introducing hand sanitizer gel and spray products, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on our product sales.

 

Overall, our company is not of a size that has required us to implement “company-wide” policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, our product manufacturing operations have experienced no negative consequences attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, inasmuch as these operations involve a limited number of persons. However, as the states continue to re-open their economies, the scope and nature of the impacts of COVID-19 on our company will evolve day-by-day, week-by-week.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic can be expect to continue to result in regional and local quarantines, labor stoppages and shortages, changes in consumer purchasing patterns, mandatory or elective shut-downs of retail locations, disruptions to supply chains, including the inability of our suppliers to deliver materials on a timely basis, or at all, severe market volatility, liquidity disruptions and overall economic instability. It can be further expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have unpredictably adverse impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise of which we are not currently aware.

Table of Contents

  

We intend to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only on our company, but on the operations of our customers, consumers and supply chains, and intend to make adjustments accordingly. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on how the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact continues to impact the United States and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the world, all of which remains highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

 

In light of these uncertainties, for purposes of the discussion below, except where otherwise indicated, the descriptions of our business and our strategies, including regarding us, our business and the market generally, do not reflect the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or our responses thereto.

 

Our Company After Acquiring Black Bird Potentials Inc.

 

With the acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., our company emerged from its long-standing status as a “shell company.” Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird and our company’s ongoing operations now include those of Black Bird. The following sets forth information regarding our company that reflects these changes.

 

Impending Corporate Name Change

 

On January 2, 2020, holders of approximately 68% of our common stock, acting by written consent in lieu of a meeting, approved a change of our corporate name from Digital Development Partners, Inc. to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.” On January 31, 2020, we filed the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that is to effect this corporate action and submitted such filing to FINRA for approval thereof. FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from our initial filing and our being late in filing certain of our periodic reports. We intend to re-file for approval of the corporate name change action, at an as-yet undetermined time in the near future.

 

History of Our Company

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2006 under the name “Cyprium Resources Inc.”, which was changed in August 2009 to “Digital Development Partners, Inc.” Through 2014, our company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry. From 2015 until the January 2020 acquisition of Black Bird, our company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In January 2020, we filed the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that is to effect this corporate action and submitted such filing to FINRA for approval thereof. FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from our initial filing and our being late in filing certain of our periodic reports. We intend to re-file for approval of the corporate name change action, at an as-yet undetermined time in the near future.

 

Founded in October 2018, Black Bird (a) manufactures and sells CBD products, including CBD Oils and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products; (b) is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program; and (c) is the exclusive distributor in the U. S. and Canada for MiteXstream, a plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of spider mites, a pest that destroys crops, especially cannabis, hops, coffee and house plants. EPA approval of MiteXstream was obtained effective December 16, 2020. In October 2020, we announced our company’s intention to construct an industrial hemp processing facility in Montana as the first project under our new Black Bird American Hemp division.

 

Current Status

 

In January 2020, we acquired Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation. Our Board of Directors and a majority of our shareholders have approved a change of our corporate name to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.” In January 2020, application was made to FINRA for approval and implementation of the corporate name change. FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from our initial filing and our being late in filing certain of our periodic reports. We intend to re-file for approval of the corporate name change action, at an as-yet undetermined time in the near future.

 

In connection with our acquisition of Black Bird, there occurred a change in control of our company. The business plan of Black Bird has been adopted by our Board of Directors and our company’s ongoing operations now include those of Black Bird.

 

Business Overview

 

We are engaged in the manufacture and sale of products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis (marijuana). All of these products are marketed under the “Grizzly Creek Naturals” brand name as zero-THC products.

 

 
15

Table of Contents

  

In April 2020, we began the manufacture and sale of hand sanitizer gel and spray products under the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name.

 

Black Bird is a licensed participant in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, under which it is a legal grower of industrial hemp.

 

Also, we own the exclusive rights to distribute an environmentally-friendly plant-based biopesticide (which will sell under the MiteXstream brand name) that targets spider mites, which are a significant problem in the cultivation of cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp) and hops, among other crops. EPA approval of MiteXstream was obtained effective December 16, 2020.

Hemp-Related Businesses

 

Hemp. Hemp, or “industrial hemp”, is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for the industrial uses of its derived products. According to a 2015 article by Wesley Tourangeau entitled “Re-defining Environmental Harms: Green Criminology and the State of Canada’s Hemp Industry” appearing in the Canadian Journal of Criminology & Criminal Justice, hemp was one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber some 10,000 years ago.

 

Hemp is capable of producing a variety of commercial items, including biodegradable plastics, “hemp-crete,” paper, textiles, paint, biofuel, food and animal feed.

 

Although cannabis as a drug (marijuana) and industrial hemp both derive from the species Cannabis sativa and contain the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), they are distinct strains with unique phytochemical compositions and uses. Industrial hemp has significantly lower concentrations of THC and higher concentrations of Cannabidiol (CBD), which decreases or eliminates its psychoactive effects. In the United States, hemp has long been heavily regulated.

 

Recent Changes in Federal Law. In December 2018, President Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp is now legal in the United States—with restrictions. Prior to the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp (that which contained less than 0.3% THC) could be grown legally under allowed pilot programs that were approved by both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and state departments of agriculture—the Montana Hemp Pilot Program (the “MT Hemp Program”) under which Black Bird is licensed is one such pilot program. The previous system permitted small-scale expansion of hemp cultivation for limited purposes. The 2018 Farm Bill is more expansive. It allows hemp cultivation broadly, not simply pilot programs for studying market interest in hemp-derived products. It explicitly allows the transfer of hemp-derived products across state lines for commercial or other purposes. The 2018 Farm Bill also puts no restrictions on the sale, transport or possession of hemp-derived products, so long as those items are produced in a manner consistent with the law. The new Farm Bill does not, however, create a completely free system in which individuals or businesses can grow hemp whenever and wherever they want.

 

In fact, a common misunderstanding that exists about the 2018 Farm Bill is that CBD is legalized. While it is true that Section 12619 of the Farm Bill removes hemp-derived products from its Schedule I status under the Controlled Substances Act, the legislation does not legalize CBD generally. The 2018 Farm Bill ensures that any cannabinoid—a set of chemical compounds found in the cannabis (hemp) plant—that is derived from hemp will be legal, if and only if that hemp is produced in a manner consistent with the 2018 Farm Bill, associated federal regulations, associated state regulations and by a licensed grower. All other cannabinoids produced in any other setting remain a Schedule I substance under federal law and are, thus, illegal.

 

Industrial Hemp Industry Information. Spurred on by extremely strong growth in CBD sales, industrial hemp production more than doubled in 2017, with similar growth forecast through at least the next decade. CBD represents the fastest growing subset of the U.S. industrial hemp market. According to a recent report by Brightfield Group, hemp-derived CBD is projected to be a $22 billion annual market by 2022. The report also estimates that CBD sales will experience an approximate year-over-year growth rate of 55%.

 

At the start of 2018, Vote Hemp, an advocacy organization, stated that acreage dedicated to industrial hemp production stood at 23,000 acres, up from 10,000 acres at the beginning of 2017.

 

Currently, the majority of hemp products sold in the U.S.—such as hemp foods, healthcare products, textiles and building materials—are imported from other countries. However, as domestic restrictions continue to ease, U.S. companies are acquiring, and are expected to continue to acquire, a greater percentage of the hemp product market, both in the U.S. and internationally.

Hemp-Related Operations. Our company’s hemp-related operations will include three separate functions, each of which will be managed as a separate business. These functions are (a) the cultivation of hemp, (b) the extraction of CBD from the cultivated hemp and (c) the manufacture, sale and distribution of CBD products.

 

< cultivation of hemp ➞ extraction of cbd ➞ cbd products >

 

Montana Hemp Pilot Program. Industrial hemp was authorized as an alternative agricultural crop by the Montana Legislature, Sections 80-18-101 through 80-18-111 of Montana Code Annotated. The MT Pilot Program is the embodiment of this Montana law which provides a framework for legal commercial industrial hemp production in Montana.

 

Black Bird is a licensed hemp grower in the MT Pilot Program. During the Fall of 2019, we harvested our first small crop of industrial hemp. We chose to grow a small first crop of industrial hemp in an indoor facility owned by our President, Fabian G. Deneault, as a means of learning, first hand, more about the horticultural needs of industrial hemp, rather than to grow a large, commercial crop. Should future business conditions warrant, we intend to expand our industrial hemp growing operations into available nearby indoor facilities, as well as to available farmland in the Ronan, Montana, area. No prediction can yet be made with respect to our future industrial hemp growing operations.

 

Each 13 months, our indoor growing operations will be capable of producing four full crops of industrial hemp. In Montana, our outdoor growing operations would be capable of producing a single full crop of hemp each calendar year.

 

Once harvested, our hemp crops would be transported to our planned CBD extraction facility to be located in the Ronan, Montana, area.

 

< cultivation of hemp extraction of cbd ➞ cbd products >

 

CBD Extraction Facility. We intend to construct a CBD extraction facility in the Ronan, Montana, area, the precise size and location of which has not yet been determined.

 

In addition to extracting CBD from our own hemp crops for use in our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products, we will seek to establish our company as the leading CBD extraction facility in the State of Montana. Our efforts in this regard are supported by the rules of the MT Pilot Program. There is no assurance that we will be able to so establish our company’s CBD extraction facility.

 

By establishing a CBD extraction facility, we expect that we would enjoy a significant reduction in the cost of CBD compared to purchasing needed CBD from third parties, as we do currently.

 

Information Regarding Hemp CBD Extraction. CBD is one of the three main chemicals found in the trichomes of the cannabis plant. There are several methods for extracting CBD from cannabis, including industrial hemp. The most common methods use a form of solvent. This can be a liquid solvent, an oil solvent or CO2.

 

Liquid Solvent Extraction. In this method, plant material, like flowers and trim, are put into a container. Liquid solvent (usually butane, isopropyl alcohol, hexane or ethanol) is run through the plant matter to strip it of “cannabinoids” and “flavors” and transfer them into the liquid. Then, the liquid is evaporated away from this mixture to leave only concentrated chemicals and flavors in the form of an oil.

 

Oil Extraction. Using oils, especially olive oil, to extract cannabinoids from hemp and cannabis is a practice believed to date back to Biblical times. First, raw plant material must be decarboxylated, or heated to a specific temperature for a certain length of time to activate the chemicals in the plant. Plant material is then added to olive oil and heated to 100°C for 1-2 hours to extract the cannabinoids.

 

CO2 Extraction. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a unique molecule that can function as any state of matter—solid, liquid or gas— depending on the pressure and temperature under which it is kept. Because variables like pressure and temperature have to be kept very specific in a CO2 extraction process, this extraction method is usually done with a piece of equipment called a “closed-loop extractor”. This machine has three chambers: the first chamber holds solid, pressurized CO2, the second chamber contains dry plant material and the third chamber separates the finished product.

 

When performing the extraction, the solid CO2 from the first chamber is pumped into the second with the plant material. This second chamber is kept at a specific pressure and temperature which causes the CO2 to behave more like a liquid so that it runs through the plant material and extracts chemicals and flavors, much like in the liquid solvent process. Then, the CO2-cannabinoid mixture is pumped into a third chamber where it is kept at an even lower pressure and higher temperature so that the CO2 gas rises to the top of the chamber while the oils containing chemicals and flavors from the plant material fall to the bottom to be collected for consumption.

Our planned CBD extraction facility will employ a CO2 extraction process.

 

Post-CBD Extraction. Following the CBD extraction process, the hemp remains substantially intact. Our management has yet to determine how the post-extraction hemp will be processed into one or more products into which hemp is able to be refined.

Grizzly Creek Naturals.

 

CBD Products. We have created “Grizzly Creek Naturals” as the brand name for our CBD-related products, which are manufactured by our company using CBD purchased from third parties. Once we begin producing commercial quantities of industrial hemp and extracting the CBD therefrom, we will begin to use all of our own CBD and supplement it with CBD from third parties, as necessary.

 

We have expanded our line of Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products and currently manufacture and sell the following items:

 

 

·

CBD Oil: Original, Huckleberry and Cherry Flavors in 100mg, 250mg, 500mg, 1000mg and 2500mg dosages

 

·

CBD-Infused Body Butter (500mg): Unscented and Huckleberry Scent

 

·

CBD-Infused Lip Balm (30mg): Huckleberry Scent

 

·

Bath Bomb with 50mg of CBD: Eucalyptus, Lavender and Citrus Scents

 

In July 2020, we intend to begin sales of CBD gummies on a private-label basis.

 

Other Products. In April 2020, we began sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer to distributors, directly to retail customers and directly to consumers through our website, having completed our initial FDA product listing in March 2020.

 

In July 2020, we intend to begin production and sales of a coffee-based energy drink under the “Grizzly Grind” brand name.

 

Hand Sanitizer. In April 2020, we began to manufacture and sell our Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer gel and spray products (without CBD) to distributors, directly to retail customers and directly to consumers through our website, having completed our initial FDA product listing in March 2020. As further discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section hereof, since their introduction, demand for our hand sanitizer products has exceeded our ability to produce these products. The primary hindrance to our ability to produce enough hand sanitizer products has been a scarcity of plastic bottles, pumps and caps available to us, which is attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect this scarcity of plastic bottles, pumps and caps to abate during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, but no assurance can be made in this regard.

 

Products for Animals. In July 2020, we intend to introduce CBD products for dogs under our Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name.

 

Distribution. Currently, we distribute our products directly to consumers and retail outlets in Montana and sell our products to consumers through our website: www.grizzlycreeknaturals.com. In addition, our products are distributed to retail outlets and directly to consumers by our distributors.

 

Since the third quarter of 2019, Black Bird has entered into separate distribution agreements with four distributors. During the third quarter of 2019, Black Bird entered into a distribution agreement with CBD INC Limited Liability Partnership (the “Initial Nevada Distributor”). The Initial Nevada Distributor’s initial purchase of our products was approximately $8,900 which remains unpaid; no further purchases were made. Effective July 1, 2020, we terminated the agreement with the Initial Nevada Distributor, due to non-payment of sums due and to its failure to pursue the distribution of our products with reasonable commercial effort. In conjunction with our terminating the Initial Nevada Distributor, we entered into a letter agreement with Las Vegas-based Hope Botanicals LLC (the “Hope Distributor”), with respect to its selling our products primarily in the Las Vegas area. Hope Distributor has taken over the retail premises of the Initial Nevada Distributor and has indicated its intention to pursue a sales and distribution plan that would include that of the Initial Nevada Distributor.

 

Also during the third quarter of 2019, Black Bird entered into a distribution agreement with Gorilla Mitts, LLC (the “California Distributor”). To date, the California Distributor has not paid for any of the products that were the subject of its initial purchase order; we have delivered none of our products to this distributor. Given, the ongoing lack of activity, during the third quarter of 2020, our management intends to re-evaluate the status of this distributor.

Table of Contents

  

In March 2020, we entered into a regional development and distribution agreement with Northland Partners, LLC (the “Tri-State Distributor”), who will focus on distribution of our products in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. Immediately following its initial purchase of products, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the Tri-State Distributor to suspend active sales efforts. However, the Tri-State Distributor has advised of its intention to re-start its sales efforts during July 2020. We are unable to estimate our total 2020 sales to Tri-State Distributor.

 

In May 2020, we began to distribute our hand sanitizer products through Raghorn Distributing (“Raghorn”), a Montana-based distributor of consumer products to approximately 1,000 retail locations in Montana, North Dakota, Idaho and Washington. In July 2020, Black Bird and Raghorn expect to enter into a written distribution agreement. Raghorn has become our largest customer. Through the date of this Offering Circular, Raghorn has purchased approximately $25,000 of our hand sanitizer products. We expect our sales to Raghorn will increase from month to month through the remainder of 2020. However, we are unable to estimate the level of such sales, due, in part, to the uncertainty of the number of retail locations to which Raghorn will sell our CBD products.

 

Each of our distributors has the right to distribute our products anywhere in the United States.

 

We continue to seek additional distributors who are able to demonstrate, to our management’s satisfaction, an ability to develop robust sales for our Grizzly Creek Naturals products.

 

Grizzly Creek Naturals Retail Stores. In October 2019, the Initial Nevada Distributor celebrated the grand opening of a Grizzly Creek Naturals retail store, which is located at 1331 South Commerce Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. The Hope Distributor has taken over such premises from the Initial Nevada Distributor and has determined to retain the Grizzly Creek Naturals name as part of its store’s name.

 

In addition to retail operations, the Hope Distributor intends to use the facility as its initial distribution hub. However, this part of the Hope Distributor’s business is expected to be delayed until such time as the complete reopening of business in the Las Vegas area has been achieved. The Hope Distributor has affirmed that it has the intention to establish a total of additional Grizzly Creek Naturals retail locations in the Las Vegas and outlying areas. Although no formal agreement or other understanding has been made, it is expected that our company will provide at least a portion of the capital necessary to establish such additional retail locations. There is no assurance that the Hope Distributor will be successful in establishing any additional stores.

 

In addition, the Tri-State Distributor has indicated that it intends to explore the possibility of opening one or more Grizzly Creek Naturals stores in its area of focus. No assurance can be given that any such store will be established.

 

Perceived Benefits of CBD. The current growth in sales of CBD products is primarily due to perceived benefits expressed by those who have used CBD products. While our company does not make any claims as to the effectiveness or potential benefits of CBD, the following perceived benefits expressed by those which have used CBD products include, among others:

 

 

 

• Relief for Chronic Pain

• Reduces Seizures

• Reduces Anxiety and Depression

• Reduces Inflammation

• Promotes Healthy Weight

• Improves Heart Health

• Improves Skin Conditions

Competition.

 

CBD Products. The market for CBD products is growing rapidly and the competition for customers is highly competitive and highly fragmented, with no significant barriers to entry. We expect competitive conditions to increase over time. There is no assurance that our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products will achieve profitability in the face of such competition.

 

Hand Sanitizer. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of hand sanitizer products skyrocketed and numerous companies became first-time participant in this market segment. Currently, there is intense competition for raw materials with which to manufacture and package hand sanitizer products, in response to COVID-19-related end-user, both consumer and business, demand.

 

To date, while we have been able to sell substantially all of the hand sanitizer products produced by us, our operations have been impeded by our inability to obtain larger supplies of needed plastic bottles, pumps and caps. There is no assurance that we will successfully overcome the intense competition for needed raw materials, in the near term. Further, there no assurance that we will continue to compete successfully for customers for our hand sanitizer products.

 

Regulation.

 

CBD Products. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, CBD products may be sold legally, if and only if the hemp from which the CBD is derived is produced in a manner consistent with the 2018 Farm Bill, associated federal regulations, associated state regulations and by a licensed grower. Our CBD products are in compliance with the provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill.

 

Hand Sanitizer. Because we manufacture hand sanitizer products, we are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In compliance with such regulatory requirements, Black Bird obtained a labeler code and we submit our products and associated labels for FDA approval for listing on the National Drug Code Directory. In addition, Black Bird follows current good manufacturing practices (CGMP) in the production of the Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer products.

 

MiteXstream

 

Approval as Biopesticide. We intend to have MiteXstream approved as a biopesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and, thereafter, approved, initially, for use in the various states. We expect the cost of such process to total approximately $50,000. To assist our company in this approval process, we have retained Spring Regulatory Sciences, Spring, Texas, an EPA pesticide consulting firm. In January 2020, the application for MiteXstream to be certified as a biopesticide was filed with the EPA. EPA approval of MiteXstream was obtained effective December 16, 2020. Application will now be made to the various states for approval; the state approval process takes between one and eight months, variously.

 

We intend to launch immediately our planned MiteXstream marketing and sales efforts.

 

Until we obtain the required pesticide certifications, we will not sell any MiteXstream. As soon as we have obtained the required pesticide approvals, we intend to launch immediately our planned MiteXstream sales and distribution efforts.

 

Background—The Spider Mite Problem. Our President, Fabian G. Deneault, was, from 2017 through 2019, a licensed dispenser of medical marijuana (MMJ) in the State of Montana and, as such, was permitted to grow marijuana plants for use in his MMJ dispensary business. As a licensed medical marijuana grower, Mr. Deneault encountered infestations of spider mites on his plants. To combat the spider mites, Mr. Deneault developed the MiteXstream formulation (see “Product Effectiveness” below).

 

Mr. Deneault soon came to understand that the spider mite issue is an industry-wide issue. In fact, in addition to marijuana, spider mites are a significant pest in the production of industrial hemp, coffee and hops, among other agricultural products.

 

Product Effectiveness. In testing done by our company, we have determined that, when mixed with water at the prescribed dilution rate, MiteXstream is effective in eliminating spider mites and their eggs, with no risk of plant damage.

 

Further, based on independent lab testing (see results under “Independent Lab Testing” below), users of MiteXstream are able to treat their cannabis (marijuana) plants through the day of harvest and still satisfy state-level pesticide testing standards.

 

Independent Lab Testing. In January 2019, Stillwater Labs, an Olney, Montana-based medical marijuana testing facility, concluded its testing of a cannabis sample treated only with MiteXstream. In addition to testing for pesticides prohibited by the State of Montana, Stillwater Labs also tested for pesticides prohibited by the State of Oregon, the most stringent state-level marijuana testing standard. The results of this testing, presented as being measured in parts per billion (PPB), are set forth below.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Effects of COVID-19

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there exist significant uncertainties regarding the current novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including the scope of health issues, the possible duration of the pandemic and the extent of local and worldwide social, political and economic disruption it may cause in the future.

 

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business.

 

With respect to our business operations, while our product sales have increased moderately since the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due primarily to our recently introducing hand sanitizer gel and spray products, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on our product sales, inasmuch as we and our distributors have been limited in face-to-face sales meetings with respect to our products. We are unable to predict when such limitations will ease.

 

Overall, our company is not of a size that has required us to implement “company-wide” policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, our product manufacturing operations have experienced no negative consequences attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, inasmuch as these operations involve a limited number of persons. However, as the states continue to re-open, re-close, then re-open their economies, the scope and nature of the impacts of COVID-19 on our company will evolve day-by-day, week-by-week.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic can be expect to continue to result in regional and local quarantines, labor stoppages and shortages, changes in consumer purchasing patterns, mandatory or elective shut-downs of retail locations, disruptions to supply chains, including the inability of our suppliers to deliver materials on a timely basis, or at all, severe market volatility, liquidity disruptions and overall economic instability. It can be further expected that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have unpredictably adverse impacts on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This situation is changing rapidly and additional impacts may arise of which we are not currently aware.

 

We intend to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, not only on our company, but on the operations of our customers, consumers and supply chains, and intend to make adjustments accordingly. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on how the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact continues to impact the United States and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the world, all of which remains highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

 

In light of these uncertainties, for purposes of the discussion below, except where otherwise indicated, the descriptions of our business, our strategies, our risk factors and any other forward-looking statements, including regarding us, our business and the market generally, do not reflect the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or our responses thereto.

Basis of Presentation

 

Our company was a “shell company” from 2014 through all of 2019. Effective January 1, 2020, we acquired Black Bird Potentials Inc. (“Black Bird”), in a transaction accounted for as a “reverse merger”.

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section includes financial results of (1) our company, Digital Development Partners, Inc., for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including those of Black Bird, and (2) the historical financial results of Black Bird for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

In addition, this section presents information concerning Black Bird for the periods and as of the dates indicated. This information includes Black Bird’s financial results, as well as narrative descriptions thereof. In addition, where appropriate, this section presents pro forma financial information, which assumes our company’s acquisition of Black Bird had occurred on certain prior dates, as indicated.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes, beginning on page F-1 of this Offering Circular.

 

Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the following discussion, as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

 

Only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure.

 

Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

Not having to obtain non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens herein, and the information that we provide may be different than what you might get from other public companies in which you hold stock.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements beginning on page F-1. We consider our critical accounting policies related to revenue recognition, inventory and fair value of financial instruments.

 

Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Overview and Outlook

 

With the acquisition of Black Bird effective January 1, 2020, Black Bird’s operations became the operations of our company.

Table of Contents

  

Founded in October 2018, Black Bird (a) manufactures and sells CBD products, including CBD Oils and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products; (b) is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program; and (c) is the exclusive distributor in the U. S. and Canada for MiteXstream, a plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of spider mites, a pest that destroys crops, especially cannabis, hops, coffee and house plants. EPA approval of MiteXstream is expected in late 2020, though sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification is achieved. In October 2020, we announced our company’s intention to construct an industrial hemp processing facility in Montana as the first project under our new Black Bird American Hemp division.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Following our acquisition of Black Bird, our future operating results can be expected to be primarily affected by the following factors:

Results of Operations

  

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 (the “Current Period”), and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 (the “Prior Period”). For the Current Period, our business operations generated revenues $56,114 (unaudited) in revenues from sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals products with cost of goods sold of $22,072 (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $34,042 (unaudited). For the Prior Period, we generated $15,962 (unaudited) in revenues with cost of goods sold of $20,138 (unaudited), resulting in a gross loss of $4,176 (unaudited).

 

During the Current Period, we incurred operating expenses of $366,416 (unaudited), with a net operating loss of $332,374 (unaudited). During the Prior Period, we incurred operating expenses of $105,183 (unaudited), resulting in a net operating loss of $109,359 (unaudited).

 

We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur operating losses through at least June 30, 2021, until sales volumes of our products increase significantly. Further, because of our current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of Grizzly Creek Naturals, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

 

Based on informal testing done by, and discussions with, cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp) cultivation industry participants, our management believes that MiteXstream will become the most dynamic, fastest growing part of our business. The impact of these operations is expected to arrive beginning in the first quarter of 2021, at the earliest.

  

Years Ended December 31, 2019 (the “Fiscal 2019”) and 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”). During Fiscal 2019, Black Bird generated $17,771 in revenues from sales of Grizzly Creek Naturals products with a cost of goods sold of $17,802, resulting in a gross loss of $31. During Fiscal 2018, Black Bird did not generate any revenues.

 

During Fiscal 2019, Black Bird incurred operating expenses of $149,642, which were comprised of $48,108 in consulting services ($45,000 of which was paid by the issuance of common stock), $8,471 in website expenses, $32,860 in legal and professional services, $44,762 for product license, $4,461 in bad debt expense and $10,980 in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net loss of $149,373. During Fiscal 2018, Black Bird incurred operating expenses of $138, resulting in a net loss of $138 (unaudited).

 

We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter for the foreseeable future, beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2020. We expect to incur operating losses through at least December 31, 2020, until sales volumes of our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products increase significantly. Further, because of our current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of Grizzly Creek Naturals, Black Bird American Hemp and MiteXstream, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

Fiscal 2019 and Fiscal 2018, Pro Forma. During Fiscal 2019, our company and Black Bird, on a combined basis, generated $17,771 in revenues, but incurred a net loss of $271,340, due to our company’s net loss of $121,967 and Black Bird’s net loss of $149,373 during Fiscal 2019.

Plan of Operation

 

Hemp/CBD Products. Our company’s hemp-related operations will include three separate functions, each of which will be managed as a separate business. These functions are (a) the cultivation of hemp, (b) the extraction of CBD from the cultivated hemp and (c) the manufacture, sale and distribution of CBD products.

 

Cultivation. Black Bird is a licensed hemp grower in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program (MT Pilot Program). During the Fall of 2019, we harvested our first small crop of industrial hemp, and we expect to do the same during 2020. We chose to grow a small first crop of industrial hemp in an indoor facility owned by our President, Fabian G. Deneault, as a means of learning, first hand, more about the horticultural needs of industrial hemp, rather than to grow a large, commercial crop. Should future business conditions warrant, we intend to expand our industrial hemp growing operations into available nearby indoor facilities, as well as to available farmland in the Ronan, Montana, area. No prediction can yet be made with respect to our future industrial hemp growing operations. Each 13 months, our indoor growing operations will be capable of producing four full crops of industrial hemp. In Montana, our outdoor growing operations would be capable of producing a single full crop of hemp each calendar year. Once harvested, our hemp crops would be transported to our planned CBD extraction facility to be located in the Ronan, Montana, area.

 

Extraction. We intend to construct a CBD extraction facility in the Ronan, Montana, area, the precise size and location of which has not yet been determined. In addition to extracting CBD from our own hemp crops for use in our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products, we intend to establish our company as the leading CBD extraction facility in the State of Montana. Our efforts in this regard are supported by the rules of the MT Pilot Program which require that all hemp grown in Montana be processed within Montana. There is no assurance that we will be able to so establish our company’s CBD extraction facility. By establishing a CBD extraction facility, we expect that we would enjoy a significant reduction in the cost of CBD compared to purchasing needed CBD from third parties, as we do currently. Following the CBD extraction process, the hemp remains substantially intact. Our management has yet to determine how the post-extraction hemp will be processed into one or more products into which hemp is able to be refined.

 

Grizzly Creek Naturals.

 

CBD Products. We have created “Grizzly Creek Naturals” as the brand name for our CBD-related products, which are manufactured by our company using CBD purchased from third parties. Once we begin producing commercial quantities of industrial hemp and extracting the CBD therefrom, we will begin to use all of our own CBD and supplement it with CBD from third parties, as necessary.

 

We have expanded our line of Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products and currently manufacture and sell the following items:

 

 

·

CBD Oil: Unflavored, Huckleberry, Cherry Flavors in 100mg, 250mg, 500mg, 1000mg and 2500mg dosages

 

·

CBD-Infused Body Butter (500mg): Unscented and Huckleberry Scent

 

·

CBD-Infused Lip Balm (30mg): Huckleberry Scent

 

·

Bath Bomb with 50mg of CBD: Eucalyptus, Lavender and Citrus Scents

 

In July 2020, we intend to begin sales of CBD gummies under the “Glacier Gummies”, on a private-label basis. We cannot assure you that we be successful financially in these efforts.

 

Other Products. In April 2020, we began sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer to distributors, directly to retail customers and directly to consumers through our website, having completed our initial FDA product listing in March 2020. Since their introduction, our hand sanitizer sales have been our best selling products.

 

In July 2020, we intend to begin production and sales of a coffee-based energy drink under the “Grizzly Grind” brand name. We cannot assure you that we be successful financially in these efforts.

 

Hand Sanitizer. In April 2020, we began to manufacture and sell our Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer gel and spray products (without CBD) to distributors, directly to retail customers and directly to consumers through our website, having completed our initial FDA product listing in March 2020. Since their introduction, demand for our hand sanitizer products has exceeded our ability to produce these products. The primary hindrance to our ability to produce enough hand sanitizer products has been a scarcity of plastic bottles, pumps and caps available to us, which is attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect this scarcity of plastic bottles, pumps and caps to abate during the third and fourth quarters of 2020, but no assurance can be made in this regard.

Products for Animals. In July 2020, we intend to introduce CBD products for dogs under our Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name. We cannot assure you that we be successful financially in these efforts.

 

Distribution. Currently, we distribute our products directly to consumers and retail outlets in Montana and sell our products to consumers through our website: www.grizzlycreeknaturals.com. In addition, our products are distributed to retail outlets and directly to consumers by our distributors.

 

MiteXstream. We intend to have MiteXstream approved as a biopesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and, thereafter, approved, initially, for use in the various states. In January 2020, the application for MiteXstream to be certified as a biopesticide was filed with the EPA. EPA approval of MiteXstream was obtained effective December 16, 2020. Application will now be made to the various states for approval; the state approval process takes between one and eight months, variously. We intend to launch immediately our planned MiteXstream marketing and sales efforts.

 

Based on informal testing done by, and discussions with, cannabis cultivation industry participants, our management believes that MiteXstream will become the most dynamic, fastest growing part of our business. However, no prediction can be made in this regard.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Recent Capital Source. In April 2020, our company obtained a total of $50,000 in loans from two third parties ($25,000 from each). In consideration of each loan, we issued a $25,000 face amount convertible promissory note that bears interest at 10% per annum, with principal and interest due in January 2021. Each such convertible promissory note may be converted into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $.001 of debt converted anytime after August 30, 2020. In November 2020, one of such $25,000 face amount convertible promissory notes, including accrued interest, was paid in full

 

In December 2020, our company obtained a loan from a third party which netted us $50,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, we issued a $58,600.00 face amount convertible promissory note, with OID of $4,100, that bears interest at 10% per annum, with principal and interest due in September 2021. We have the right to repay such convertible promissory note at a premium ranging from 120% to 145% of the face amount. Such convertible promissory note may be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of 60% of the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance of such convertible promissory note and the date of conversion, any time after June 15, 2020.

 

Regulation A Offering. In May 2020, our company filed an Offering Statement on Form 1-A (File No. 254-11215) (the “Regulation A Offering”) with SEC with respect to 20,000,000 shares of common stock, which was qualified by the SEC on August 4, 2020. Through the date hereof, we had sold a total of 13,200,000 shares of common stock for a total of $528,000 in cash, under the Regulation A Offering. There is no assurance that we will further derive any funds pursuant to the Regulation A Offering.

 

September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, our company had $47,884 (unaudited) in cash and working capital of $13,410 (unaudited), compared to $973 (audited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,140,795 (audited) at December 31, 2019. The significant change in our working capital position from December 31, 2019, to September 30, 2020, is attributable primarily to (1) the cancellation of $1,133,097 (unaudited) of debt in exchange for shares of our common stock, pursuant to three separate agreements with related parties and (2) Black Bird’s cash position of $85,969 at the time our acquisition of Black Bird.

 

During the Current Period, we obtained a loan in the amount of $6,670 (unaudited) from a related party with which to pay certain operating expenses, including $3,000 in fees of our former auditor.

 

Transactions Relating to the Black Bird Acquisition. In connection with our acquisition of Black Bird, we consummated a stock cancellation agreement with a related party and three separate debt forgiveness agreements with related parties, as follows:

 

Stock Cancellation Agreement. We entered into this agreement with our former majority shareholder, EFT Holdings, Inc., whereby we cancelled all 79,265,000 shares of common stock then owned by EFT Holdings, Inc. The total stated capital and additional paid-in capital associated with such shares is $79,265 (unaudited), and is a reduction of our shareholders’ equity.

 

Debt Forgiveness Agreements. We entered into three separate debt forgiveness agreements with related parties:

 

EFT Holdings, Inc.: we issued 18,221,906 shares of common stock to our former majority shareholder, EFT Holdings, Inc., in payment of $886,108 of indebtedness, principal and accrued interest.

 

EF2T, Inc.: we issued 2,240,768 shares of common stock to a related party, EF2T, Inc., in payment of $109,992 of indebtedness, principal and accrued interest.

 

Astonia LLC: we issued 2,831,661 shares of common stock to a related party, Astonia LLC, in payment of $136,997 of indebtedness, principal and accrued interest.

Our company’s current cash position of approximately $80,000 is adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder 2020. However, we must obtain additional capital from third parties, including through this offering to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, including through this offering.

 

December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, Black Bird had $85,969 in cash and working capital of $114,945, compared to $37,662 in cash and working capital of $37,662 at December 31, 2018. From its inception in October 2018 through December 31, 2019, Black Bird derived a total of $217,250 in cash from sales of its common stock. Our current cash position of approximately $25,000 is adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder 2020. However, we must obtain additional capital from third parties to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital, including through this offering.

 

December 31, 2019, Pro Forma. On a combined basis (our company and Black Bird), we had $86,942 in cash and working capital of $107,247.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

 

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete annual financial statement presentation.

 

These unaudited interim financial statements, as of September 30, 2020, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

 

Nature of Operations

 

From 2015 until the January 1, 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Black Bird”), the Company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird and the Company’s ongoing operations now include those of Black Bird. References to “the Company” include Black Bird.

 

The Company is engaged in the production and sale of consumer products, including products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC. The Company’s products are marketed under the “Grizzly Creek Naturals” trademark. Also, the Company is a licensed participant in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, under which the Company is a grower of industrial hemp.

 

The Company has developed an environmentally-friendly biopesticide, MiteXstream, that eliminates mold, mildew and many pests, including spider mites, which are significant problems in the cultivation of cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp) and hops. In January 2019, the Company applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the certification of MiteXstream as a biopesticide. Sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification is achieved.

 

2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company had a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2019, and a small positive working capital position at September 30, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2019. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s researching for new markets. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from related party loans.

 

While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

 
F-7

Table of Contents

   

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. At September 30, 2020, there were potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Related Parties

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3.

ACQUISITION OF BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company consummated a plan and agreement of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (Black Bird), pursuant to which Black Bird became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

6.

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

In January 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change its corporate name to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.” In January 2020, application was made to FINRA for approval and implementation of the corporate name change. FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from the Company’s initial filing and its being late in filing certain of its periodic reports. The Company intends to re-file for approval of the corporate name change action, at an as-yet undetermined time in the near future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Digital Development Partners, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Digital Development Partners, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, 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 the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

 

Organization

 

Digital Development Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2006 under the name “Cyprium Resources Inc.”, which was changed to its current name in August 2009. Through 2014, the Company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry.

 

From 2015 until the January 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Black Bird”), the Company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Going Concern

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company also has a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2019. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s researching for new markets. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from related party loans.

 

While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents or restricted cash as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

 
F-19

Table of Contents

  

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There is no potential dilutive securities as of December 31, 2019, or December 31, 2018. As there was a net loss for these periods, basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Related Parties

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3. Loans Payable - Related Parties

 

The following table sets forth outstanding loans payable to related parties as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Advances of $22,676 were received from EFT Holdings, Inc. (“EFT Holdings”) and no expenses were paid by EFT Holdings on behalf of the Company, during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, at total of $40,258 in advances were received from EFT Holdings. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repaid $139,611 in loans due to EFT Holdings. The amounts due EFT Holdings bear interest at 5% per year, are secured by all future sales of the Company and have a maturity of one year. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company owed EFT Holdings $251,785 and $215,608, respectively, in accrued and unpaid interest. $-0- of these EFT Holdings advances at December 31, 2019, were past due and payable upon demand.

 

Advances of $64,500 were received from EF2T, Inc. (“EF2T”) during the year ended December 31, 2019. The amounts due EF2T bear interest at 5% per year, are secured by all future sales of the Company, and have a maturity of one year. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company owed EF2T $4,742 and $1,254, respectively, in accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Advances of $135,000 were received from Astonia, LLC (“Astonia”) during the year ended December 31, 2019. Astonia is considered a “related party”, due to the fact that a Director of the Company, Jack Jie Qin, is the manager of Astonia. The amounts due Astonia bear interest at 5% per year, are secured by all future sales of the Company, and have a maturity of one year. As of December 31, 2019, the Company owed Astonia $1,997 in accrued and unpaid interest.

4. Income Taxes

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2016, through December 31, 2018, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, as of December 31, 2019.

 

No provision was made for federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2019, since the Company had net operating losses.

 

The Company has available net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1,298,000, which begins to expire in 2029 unless utilized beforehand. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock. As presented below, the Company generated a deferred tax asset through the net operating loss carry-forward. However, a 100% valuation allowance has been established because the ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available. Management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies that can be implemented by the Company in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the period in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available to reduce income taxes payable, management has established a full valuation allowance such that the net deferred tax asset is $0 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2018. For net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2018, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would eliminate the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and, instead, permits all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

5. Subsequent Events

 

Acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company consummated a plan and agreement of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Black Bird”), pursuant to which Black Bird became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 120,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Black Bird and four persons were added to the Company’s Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s four new directors were issued a total of 100,178,661 shares of Company common stock. Thus, a change in control of the Company occurred in connection with the Merger Agreement.

 

Cancellation of Debt Agreement

 

In conjunction with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a cancellation of stock agreement with its former majority shareholder, EFT Holdings, whereby it cancelled all 79,265,000 shares of common stock then owned by EFT Holdings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Black Bird Potentials Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Black Bird Potentials Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and for the period from October 16, 2018 (inception), through December 31, 2018, 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 the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and for the period from October 16, 2018 (inception), through December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits, 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

 

Organization

 

Black Bird Potentials Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation that was formed in Wyoming on October 16, 2018. The Company has adopted a December 31st calendar year end for reporting requirements.

 

The Company is engaged in the production and sale of consumer products, including products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC. The Company’s products are marketed under the “Grizzly Creek Naturals” trademark. Also, the Company is a licensed participant in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, under which the Company is a grower of industrial hemp.

 

The Company has developed an environmentally-friendly biopesticide, MiteXstream, that eliminates mold, mildew and many pests, including spider mites, which are significant problems in the cultivation of cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp) and hops. In January 2019, the Company applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the certification of MiteXstream as a biopesticide. Sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification is achieved.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods from the Company’s facilities or upon notification of direct shipment from the Company’s suppliers to the Company’s customers.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, these include cash on hand, cash in checking and savings accounts with banks. All short-term debt securities with a maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain items from prior year financial statements have been reclassed to conform to current year presentation.

 

Leases

 

Leases that meet the criteria for capitalization are classified as capital leases. Leases that do not meet such criteria are classified as operating leases and related rentals are charged to expense as incurred. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no such leases.

 

Concentration of Cash and Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains corporate cash balances which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on its cash balances. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

 

 
F-28

Table of Contents

  

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or market. Cost is determined principally by the standard cost method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method. The Company writes off any inventory items when the item experiences no significant movement, or when management determines the item to be obsolete.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amounts management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations of the year in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance for accounts receivable.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed in the year incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred $154 and $-0- in advertising expense, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and receivables are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

3. Regulation A Offering

 

In April 2019, the Company’s Form 1-A Offering Statement filed with the SEC, relating to an offering pursuant to Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, was “qualified” by the SEC.

Total Stockholders’ Equity

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased from $37,662 at December 31, 2018, to $114,945 at December 31, 2019. The Company’s stockholders’ equity is primarily attributable to sales of its securities since its inception in October 2018 through December 31, 2019, in the total amount of $217,250.

 

9. Income Taxes

 

No provision was made for federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2019, since the Company had net operating losses.

 

The Company has available net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $149,511, which begins to expire in 2029 unless utilized beforehand. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock. As presented below, the Company generated a deferred tax asset through the net operating loss carry-forward. However, a 100% valuation allowance has been established because the ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available. Management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies that can be implemented by the Company in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the period in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available to reduce income taxes payable, management has established a full valuation allowance such that the net deferred tax asset is $0 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2018. For net operating losses (NOLs) arising after December 31, 2018, the 2017 Act limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income. In addition, NOLs arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018, will not be subject to the taxable income limitation. The 2017 Act would eliminates the carryback of all NOLs arising in a tax year ending after 2017 and, instead, permits all such NOLs to be carried forward indefinitely.

10. Subsequent Events

 

Acquisition Transaction

 

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company consummated a plan and agreement of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Digital Development Partners, Inc., a publicly-traded company (“DGDM”), pursuant to which the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of DGDM. Such acquisition transaction, accounted for by DGDM as a “reverse merger”, resulted in the Company’s control persons becoming the control persons of DGDM.

 

Facility Lease

 

In May 2020, the Company entered into a facility lease with Grizzly Creek Farms, LLC, an entity owned by one of its directors, Fabian G. Deneault, with respect to approximately 2,000 square feet of manufacturing space located in Ronan, Montana. Monthly rent under such lease is $1,500 and the initial term of such lease expires in December 2025. The Company utilizes the leased facility for the manufacture of products, including its FDA-listed hand sanitizer products.

 

Distribution Agreements

 

In March 2020, the Company entered into a regional development and distribution agreement with Northland Partners, LLC (the “Tri-State Distributor”), who will focus on distribution of our products in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.

 

In June 2020, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with its Las Vegas-based distributor, due to non-performance.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Basis of Unaudited Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, are based on the historical financial statements of DGDM and BBP after giving effect to DGDM’s acquisition of BBP (the “Acquisition”) and the assumptions and adjustments described in the notes herein. No pro forma adjustments were required to conform BBP’s accounting policies to DGDM’s accounting policies.

 

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, is presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations of DGDM and BBP for the year ended December 31, 2019, is presented as if the Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations of DGDM and BBP for the year ended December 31, 2018, is presented as if the Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2018.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of the results of operations or financial position of DGDM that would have been reported had the Acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of the future results of operations or financial position of DGDM.

 

Note 2. BBP Acquisition

 

Effective January 1, 2020, DGDM entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger with BBP (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which DGDM acquired BBP, a company that is (a) engaged in the production and sale of products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC, (b) a licensed participant in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program (c) the exclusive distributor of an environmentally-friendly pesticide, MiteXstream, that targets spider mites, which are a significant problem in the cultivation of cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp), coffee and hops. DGDM has adopted the business plan of BBP as its overall corporate business plan. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, DGDM issued a total of 120,000,000 shares of common stock to the shareholders of BBP, all of which shares are considered “restricted securities.”

 

Acquisition-related expenses, including legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the acquisition, were expensed as incurred.

 

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

With respect to the unaudited pro form balance sheet, pro forma adjustments were made only to current liabilities, which adjustments were made to reflect the cancellation of $1,133,097 of DGDM debt as of December 31, 2019, by the issuance of shares.

 

With respect to the unaudited pro form balance sheet, no pro forma adjustments are included. With respect to the unaudited pro forma statements of income, pro forma adjustments were made only to weighted average shares outstanding, which adjustments were made to reflect the issuances and a cancellation of shares in connection with the Merger Agreement, as follows: (a) the cancellation of 79,265,000 shares by a related party, (b) the issuance of a total of 23,294,335 shares in cancellation of indebtedness and (c) the issuance of 120,000,000 shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
