BLACK BIRD BIOTECH, INC.
(formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.)
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
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 consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2022, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 three months ended March 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2022. 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, 2021, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.
Nature of Operations
The Company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of mites and other similar pests, including spider mites, that destroy crops, particularly cannabis, hops, coffee and house plants, as well as molds and mildew.
The Company also manufactures and sells, under its Grizzly Creek NaturalsTM brand name, CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, as well as CBD-infused personal care products.
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 of $
The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2022. 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.

| Table of contents |
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 March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.
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
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 are potential dilutive securities as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.
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
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has early adopted ASU 2020-06 for the year beginning January 1, 2021.

The Company will adopt the if-converted method for calculating EPS and the modified retrospective method as the transition method. The if-converted method assumes that the conversion of convertible securities occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and the modified retrospective recognizes the cumulative effect of the change as an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of the date of adoption. Under the modified-retrospective method, no adjustment should be made to the comparative-period information including EPS.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021 the cumulative effect of the change on retained earnings was $
3. CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
During 2020 a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported worldwide resulting in decreased economic activity and closures of businesses which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The virus has continued to affect the economy through 2021. The Company is taking all necessary steps to keep its business premises in a safe environment and is constantly monitoring the impact of COVID-19. At this time, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact the economy and the Company is uncertain. Pandemics or other significant public heath events could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the results of its operations in the future.

NOTE 6. NEW MITEXSTREAM AGREEMENT
In February 2021, Black Bird entered into a Manufacturing, Sales and Distribution License Agreement (the “New MiteXstream Agreement”) with a related party, Touchstone Enviro Solutions, Inc., which replaced a prior similar agreement (the “Original MiteXstream Agreement”) and served to expand Black Bird’s rights with respect to MiteXstream, an EPA-registered biopesticide. The New MiteXstream Agreement contains the following important provisions as compared to the Original MiteXstream Agreement:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Effects of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business, as well as to obtain needed inventory, due to supply chain delays. While these limitations have eased, we are unable to predict when such limitations will be entirely resolved.
Overall, our company is not of a size that 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.
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
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section includes financial results of our company, Black Bird Biotech, Inc., including its subsidiaries, Black Bird Potentials Inc. (BB Potentials), Big Sky American Dist., LLC (Big Sky American) and Black Bird Hemp Manager, LLC, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
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 herein under “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
| · | have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| · | comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
| · | submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and |
| · | disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
| 15 |
Critical Accounting Policies
In General. 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.
Change in Accounting Principle. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06-Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging- Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Our company has early-adopted ASU 2020-06 for the year beginning January 1, 2021.
Overview and Outlook
Through BB Potentials, our company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor of MiteXstream, an EPA-registered plant-based biopesticide (EPA Reg. No. 95366-1) effective in the eradication of mites and similar pests, including spider mites, a pest that destroys crops, especially cannabis, hops, coffee, and house plants, as well as molds and mildew. Also through BB Potentials, we manufacture and sell CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, and CBD-infused personal care products, under the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name. Big Sky American distributes our Grizzly Creek Naturals products, as well as an array of other consumer retail products, in Western Montana. In addition, for 2020 and 2021, BB Potentials was a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program and, in connection therewith, established “Black Bird American Hemp” as the brand name under which these efforts were to be conducted. For the foreseeable future, we have suspended our hemp-related efforts.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
Our future operating results can be expected to be primarily affected by the following factors:
| · | our ability to establish and maintain the value proposition of our MiteXstream biopesticide, vis-a-vis other available pest control products; |
| · | our ability to generate sales channels for MiteXstream; and |
| · | our ability to contain our operating costs. |
Recent Developments
Spire+. In March 2022, our company launched the first major initiative in marketing our MiteXstream biopesticide on a national basis, when we entered into a consulting agreement with Spire+, a Cornelius, North Carolina-based leading sales and marketing agency that specializes in brand building, marketing, communications and business development. Spire+ has begun work to implement a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. Spire+, an affiliate of Spire Sports + Entertainment, LLC, has a long history of building and executing successful sales and marketing programs for brands, such as Toyota, 5-hour ENERGY, Auto-Owners Insurance, ENEOS Motor Oil, Petro-Canada, STP and Parker Hannifin.
New Sales Executive Officer. Following our executing the agreement with Spire+, in April 2022, we hired William J. LoBell to serve as our Executive Vice President of Sales and Development. In addition to working directly with Spire+ to expand sales of MiteXstream, Mr. LoBell seeks to establish additional sales channels for the biopesticide product.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (“Interim 2022”) and 2021 (“Interim 2021”). Our purchase of certain distribution-related assets pursuant to the Big Sky APA was made with an expectation that an immediately accessible larger number of retail locations would allow us to increase more quickly sales of our CBD products. Big Sky American, since beginning its consumer product distribution operations in Northwest Montana in April 2021, has had a positive impact on our operating results, when compared to our prior operating results. However, our anticipated increase in sales of our CBD products has not yet occurred. Rather, sales of non-CBD consumer products, in large measure, accounted for the overall increase in our product sales for Interim 2022. During Interim 2022, sales of MiteXstream were insignificant.
| 16 |
During Interim 2022, our business operations generated $13,802 (unaudited) venues from sales with a cost of goods sold of $7,970 (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $5,832 (unaudited). During Interim 2021, our business operations generated $2,207 (unaudited) in revenues from sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals products with a cost of goods sold of $1,521 (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $686 (unaudited).
During Interim 2022, we incurred operating expenses of $508,852 (unaudited), which were comprised of $63,100 (unaudited) in consulting services, $1,720 (unaudited) in website expenses, $32,785 (unaudited) in depreciation and amortization, $5,100 (unaudited) in legal and professional services, $1,800 (unaudited) in rent, $102,245 (unaudited) in advertising and marketing expense, $16,998 (unaudited) in license fee and $285,104 (unaudited) in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net operating loss of $503,020 (unaudited). In addition, we incurred interest expense of $167,338 (unaudited), resulting in a net loss for Interim 2022 of $670,358 (unaudited).
During Interim 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $200,155 (unaudited), which were comprised of $39,347 (unaudited) in consulting services ($6,880 (unaudited) of which was paid by the issuance of common stock), $3,014 (unaudited) in website expenses, $38,673 (unaudited) in legal and professional services, $1,334 (unaudited) for product license, $4,800 (unaudited) in rent, $1,366 (unaudited) in advertising and marketing expense and $94,902 (unaudited) in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net loss of $(208,233) (unaudited).
We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter beginning with the second quarter of 2022, as sales of MiteXstream are expected to increase from our recently-initiated marketing efforts. There is no assurance that such will be the case, and we expect to incur operating losses through at least December 31, 2022. Further, because of our relative current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of MiteXstream, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.
Further, because of our relative current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of MiteXstream and Grizzly Creek Naturals, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues. However, our management believes that MiteXstream will become the most dynamic, fastest growing part of our business.
Plans for 2022
Substantially all of our available capital, financial and human, will be devoted to increasing sales of MiteXstream. Through our agreement with Spire+, we will implement a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. In addition, our internal efforts will be focused on developing sales channels outside the scope of the Spire+ efforts. There is no assurance that we will be successful in increasing sales of MiteXstream.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, our company had $105,560 (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $63,409 (unaudited), compared to $499,766 in cash and working capital of $574,165 at December 31, 2021. The change in our working capital position from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022, is attributable primarily our repayment of $200,000 in debt, the payment of increased marketing expenses and the payment of operating expenses.
Our company’s current cash position of approximately $150,000 is not adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder of 2022. 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.
Capital Sources. We derived capital from sales of our common stock and from loans. Our capital sources are described below.
Regulation A Offerings.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold a total of 4,875,000 shares of common stock for a total of $195,000 in cash, under the Reg A #1, which expired by its terms on August 4, 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold a total of 93,033,333 shares of common stock for a total of $1,395,500 in cash, under the Reg A #2.

Inflation
Our management believes economic conditions point toward significant inflationary pressures arising in the near future. However, no prediction can be made in this regard and, further, no prediction can be made with respect to how the potential impact any inflation would affect our results of operations.
Seasonality
Our Big Sky American operations are subject to seasonal fluctuation, with the months of May through September providing approximately 70% of Big Sky American’s sales revenues. We expect that our operating results with respect to MiteXstream will be impacted, in an indeterminate measure, by the seasonality of farming operations, including cannabis grow operations.

Contractual Obligations
In May 2020, BB Potentials entered into a facility lease with Grizzly Creek Farms, LLC, an entity owned by one our Directors, Fabian G. Deneault, with respect to approximately 2,000 square feet of manufacturing space located in Ronan, Montana. Monthly rent under such lease was $1,500 and the initial term of such lease expired in December 2025. This lease was terminated effective April 1, 2021. Since such date, Mr. Deneault permits BB Potentials to utilize the previously-leased facility for storage, at no charge.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely and reliable financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As of the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), to determine the existence of any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies under the Exchange Act. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the Company's financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
