Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

Effective January 1, 2020, we 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 has become our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, we issued a total of 120,000,000 shares of our common stock to the Black Bird shareholders, in exchange for their voting stock of Black Bird.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain of our new directors and officers were issued shares of our common stock, as follows:

 

Name of New
Director/Officer
 

 

Current Position(s)

 

Number of

Shares Issued

Fabian G. Deneault   President, Director   49,746,265 shares
Eric Newlan   Vice President, Secretary, Director   24,658,709 shares
(1)
L. A. Newlan, Jr.   Director   24,658,709 shares
(1)
William E. Sluss   Vice President-Finance, Director (2)   1,115,002 shares

 

 

(1)

 

 

(2)

 

 

Such shares were issued in the name of Newlan & Newlan, Ltd., a law firm owned 50% each by Eric Newlan and L. A. Newlan, Jr. During the second half of 2019, Newlan & Newlan, Ltd. served as legal counsel to our company.

 

Prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Sluss was our company’s principal accounting officer.

 

In determining the number of shares of our common stock to be issued under the Merger Agreement, our Board of Directors did not employ any standard valuation formula or any other standard measure of value. Rather, the number of shares that was issued was determined through arm’s-length negotiations.

 

The acquisition of Black Bird was pursued and consummated by our company, after our Board of Directors had determined, after investigating the Black Bird opportunity, that the best interests of our company and our shareholders would be best served by acquiring Black Bird rather than to continue as a “shell company.”

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird. Please see “Our Company After Acquiring Black Bird Potentials Inc.” below for a complete description of our company following the acquisition of Black Bird, its business plans, its financial condition and the current status of its business efforts, as a combined enterprise with Black Bird.

Impending Corporate Name Change

 

On January 1, 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.” We intend to file the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that is to effect this corporate action on or about January 8, 2020. The effective time of this corporate action will depend on the date on which FINRA issues its approval of our related filing.

 

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.

 

Overview

 

Founded in October 2018, Black Bird Potentials Inc. manufactures and sells zero-THC CBD products, including CBD Oils and CBD-infused personal care products. In addition, Black Bird is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program. Black Bird 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.

 

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.” During January 2020, application will be made to FINRA for approval and implementation of the corporate name change. The effective date of the corporate name change will be announced, once determined.

 

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 are now those of Black Bird.

  

 

 

 

The Business of Black Bird

 

— Overview —

 

We are engaged in the manufacture and sale of products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than .03% 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.

 

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 as a biopesticide is expected in late 2020. Sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification is achieved.

— 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 being refined into 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 .03% 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 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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

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

 

Grizzly Creek Naturals. 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 zero-THC Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products and currently manufacture and sell the following items:

 

CBD Oil: Original and Huckleberry Flavors in 250mg, 500mg and 1000mg dosages.
CBD-Infused Body Butter (500mg): Unscented and Huckleberry Scent.
CBD-Infused Lip Balm (30mg): Huckleberry Scent
Bath Bomb with 50mg of CBD: Eucalyptus Scent.

 

Currently, our zero-THC Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products are distributed by us directly to retail outlets in Montana and sold to consumers through our website: www.grizzlycreeknaturals.com. In addition, our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products are distributed to retail outlets and directly to customers by our distributors.

 

In the near future, we intend to introduce CBD products for small and large animals under our Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name.

 

 

 

 

Distribution. During the second quarter of 2019, we began to seek distributors for our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products. During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into separate distribution agreements with two distributors, CBD INC Limited Liability Partnership (the “Nevada Distributor”), who will be focusing on distribution of our products in Nevada, and Gorilla Mitts, LLC (the “California Distributor”). Each of these distributors has the right to distribute our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD 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 CBD products.

 

Grizzly Creek Naturals Retail Stores.

 

First Store. In October 2109, the Nevada Distributor celebrated the grand opening of its first Grizzly Creek Naturals retail store, which is located at 1331 South Commerce Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. In addition to retail operations, the Nevada Distributor uses the facility as its initial distribution hub.

 

Additional Stores. The Nevada Distributor has stated its intention to establish a total of approximately 10 Grizzly Creek Naturals retail stores: up to four additional locations in the City of Las Vegas, as well as locations outside of the City of Las Vegas, including Henderson, Mesquite and Boulder City, Nevada, and Needles, California. There is no assurance that the Nevada Distributor will be successful in establishing any additional stores.

 

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

Competitive Strengths and Weaknesses. With respect to our Grizzly Creek Naturals products, we believe our company possesses the competitive strengths and weaknesses:

 

Competitive Strengths:   • our products are produced using high-quality ingredients
    • we enjoy low overhead costs
 
Competitive Weaknesses:   • none of our products enjoys brand name recognition
    • we possess limited capital
    • we have limited personnel

 

Competition. 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.

 

Regulation. 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.

  

 

 

 

MiteXstream —

 

Approval as Pesticide. 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 $45,000. To assist our company in this approval process, we have retained Spring Regulatory Sciences, Spring, Texas, an EPA pesticide consulting firm. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, we have completed all required testing prior to making our application to the EPA. We expect that we will file our application with the EPA prior to the end of January 2020. From the date of filing, it is expected that EPA approval would be obtained in approximately ten months. Assuming EPA approval, we would then immediately apply to the various states for approval; the state approval process takes between one and eight months, variously.

 

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.

— Insurance —

 

We have not yet purchased product liability or other insurance. However, our management intends to secure a commercially reasonable product liability insurance policy in the very near future.

 

— Intellectual Property —

 

In General. We regard our rights to intellectual property pertaining to “Grizzly Creek Naturals” and “MiteXstream” and our business know-how as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our products. Our policy is to establish, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights using the intellectual property laws.

 

Patents. Currently, we own no interest in any patent or patent application. None of the products that we sell in our business is the subject of any patent or patent application. Due to such lack of patent protection, neither our company nor our licensor may be able to defend our or its rights to such intellectual property. (See “Risk Factors” below).

 

Trademarks. We are the owner of the following trademarks: “Grizzly Creek Naturals” and “MiteXstream”. In the near future, we intend to file for registration of these trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

 

— Employees —

 

We currently have no employees other than our current executive officers. Upon our obtaining adequate funding, we expect that we would hire a small number of employees. We have used, and, in the future, expect to use, the services of certain outside consultants and advisors as needed on a consulting basis.

 

 

 

 

— Risk Factors —

 

risk factors associated with our company

 

There is doubt about our ability to develop as a viable business, and it is expected that we will need additional funding. Our business operations are less than one year old. Our current efforts are focused on developing sales of our zero-THC Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products, while our parallel long-term efforts are focused on obtaining pesticide certification for our MiteXstream product. 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.

 

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 sources of financing, in order 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 our common stock 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 and, later, the 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 our common stock.

 

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” below). 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 zero-THC Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD 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.

 

Introduction of new products by competitors could harm our competitive position and results of operations. The respective markets for our products, that is, our zero-THC Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products and MiteXstream, are characterized by intense 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. 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 would 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 trouble 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, copyright, patent and trade secret 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 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 products and MiteXstream 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. Any such claims or liabilities might not be covered by our insurance. 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.

 

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 will 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 our common stock

 

We may seek capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. 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. 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 acquisition of Black Bird, no assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will become robust or less volatile.

 

 

 

 

The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to facto 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, if one should develop. 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.

Trades of our common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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, brokers/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 prepared by the SEC 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

 

As of January 6, 2020, the Company had 150,000,000 outstanding shares of common stock and 53 shareholders of record.

 

As of January 6, 2020, 6,705,665 shares of the Company’s common stock were freely tradable. The remaining outstanding shares, 143,294,335 shares, are not free-trading shares and will not be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the SEC, until the first quarter of 2021.

 

— Dividends —

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors.

BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2019

(unaudited)

 

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

1.       Black Bird Potentials Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on October 16, 2018. The Company has adopted a December 31 calendar year end for reporting requirements.

 

2.       The Company is engaged in the production and sale of products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than 0.3% THC. These products are sold under the Company’s “Grizzly Creek Naturals” trademark. In March 2019, the Company became a licensed hemp grower in the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, making it a legal hemp grower. The flowers from the Company’s first small crop will be ready for harvest in late Summer 2019, at which time it will extract the CBD, infuse that CBD into Grizzly Creek Naturals products, then process the remaining hemp fiber into one or more environmentally-friendly products.

 

The Company owns the exclusive rights to distribute an environmentally-friendly pesticide (which it 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), hops and coffee, among other crops. The process for obtaining U.S. EPA certification of MiteXstream as a pesticide commenced in April 2019. Sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification (and relevant state certification) is achieved, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

3.       Revenue Recognition - Revenues 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.

 

4.       Cash & Cash Equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows, 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.

 

5.       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.

 

6.       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.

 

7.       Concentration of Cash and Credit Risk - The Company maintains corporate cash balances which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash balances. At September 30, 2019, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

 

8.       Advertising Costs are expensed in the year incurred.

 

9.       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.

 

10.     Cash and Cash Equivalents and Receivables - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

F-4

 

 

NOTE B - INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, related party interest and allowance for loan losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FASB ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.

The Company does not have any accruals for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2019. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to report information regarding its exposure to various tax position taken by the Company. The Company has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and have measured the Company’s exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Company has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities.

 

Federal and state taxing authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. Any interest or penalties assessed to the Company are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state taxing authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

 

There was no income tax accrued for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

NOTE C - RETIREMENT PLAN:

 

The Company currently does not sponsor a retirement plan for its employees.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company had sold 703,000 shares of its common stock for a total of $35,150 pursuant to such offering.

NOTE J - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

FASB ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

As of September 30, 2019, there were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2018

 

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

1.       Black Bird Potentials Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on October 16, 2018. The Company has adopted a December 31 calendar year end for reporting requirements.

 

2.       The Company has become engaged in the production and sale of products containing Cannabidiol, or CBD, derived from industrial hemp that contains no more than .03% THC. These products are marketed under the “Grizzly Creek Naturals” trademark. Also, the Company has applied to become part of the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, under which the Company would become a grower of industrial hemp. The Company expects to be accepted into the Montana Hemp Pilot Program during the first quarter of 2019.

 

The Company has developed an environmentally-friendly pesticide, MiteXstream, that targets spider mites, which are a significant problem in the cultivation of cannabis (marijuana and industrial hemp) and hops. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company intends to apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the certification of MiteXstream as a pesticide. Sales of MiteXstream will not commence until EPA certification is achieved.

 

3.       Revenue Recognition - Revenues 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. There was no revenue generated during the 76 days ended December 31, 2018.

 

4.       Cash & Cash Equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows, 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.

 

5.       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.

 

6.       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, 2018, there were no such leases.

 

7.       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, 2018, the Company had no uninsured cash balances.

 

8.       Advertising Costs are expensed in the year incurred. The Company incurred no advertising expense in the 76 days ended December 31, 2018.

 

9.       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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Receivables - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these items are a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

F-13

 

 

NOTE B - INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, related party interest and allowance for loan losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be deductible or taxable when the assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FASB ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions.

 

The Company does not have any accruals for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to report information regarding its exposure to various tax position taken by the Company. The Company has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and have measured the Company’s exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Company has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities.

 

Federal and state taxing authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. Any interest or penalties assessed to the Company are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state taxing authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

 

There was no income tax accrued for the 76 days ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE H - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

FASB ASC Topic 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 Inputs - Inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurements.

 

FASB ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

As of December 31, 2018, there were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound thereby, Parent, Acquiror and Target hereby agree as follows:

 

  1. The Merger.

 

1.01       The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.02) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, Target shall be merged with and into Acquiror, the separate corporate existence of Target shall cease and Acquiror shall continue as the surviving corporation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Wyoming Statutes (the “Wyoming Law”). Acquiror, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

 

1.02       Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6, and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated or abandoned pursuant to Section 8, the Constituent Corporations shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing an Articles of Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Wyoming, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Wyoming Law. Subject to, and in accordance with, the Wyoming Law, the Merger will become effective at the date and time the Articles of Merger are filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Wyoming or such later time or date as may be specified in the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”). Each of the parties shall use its best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable following the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 6 hereof.

 

1.03       Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the Wyoming Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Target shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

 

1.04       Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.

 

(a)       At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Acquiror, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and such Articles of Incorporation; provided, however, that the name of Acquiror shall be changed to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.”, as soon as is practicable following the Effective Time.

 

 

 

 

(b)       The Bylaws of Acquiror, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

 

1.05       Directors and Officers. The board of directors of Acquiror immediately upon the Effective Time shall be William E. Sluss, Fabian G. Deneault and Eric Newlan, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

 

1.06       Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, the following shall occur:

 

(a)       Each share of common stock of Target (the “Target Common Stock”) and each share of preferred stock of Target (the “Target Preferred Stock”) held in the treasury of Target and each such share of Target Common Stock and each such share of Target Preferred Stock owned by Acquiror, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

 

(b)       Each share of Target Common Stock and each share of Target Preferred Stock which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares of Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock cancelled as set forth in subsection (a) hereof, shall be converted into the right to receive shares of the $.00001 par value per share common stock of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), as follows:

 

at the Effective Time, each share of Target Common Stock and each share of Target Preferred Stock shall be exchanged for 2.0547 shares of Parent Common Stock, for a total of 120,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (these shares of Parent Common Stock are referred to as the “Closing Shares”). The Closing Shares are referred to as the “Merger Consideration”, which Closing Shares shall represent 80% of the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(c)       Anti-Dilution Adjustments. The number of shares included in the Merger Consideration (the “Merger Shares”) shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(1)       In case the Parent shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Parent Common Stock in shares of its capital stock or other securities, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding Parent Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (D) issue, by reclassification of its Parent Common Stock, shares of its capital stock or other securities of the Parent (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Parent is the continuing corporation), the number of Merger Shares issuable to the shareholders of Target (the “Shareholders”) immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Shareholders shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Merger Shares, shares of Parent’s capital stock and other securities of Parent which such holder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Merger Shares been issued to the Shareholders immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event.

 

(2)       In case Parent shall issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities to holders of its Parent Common Stock, without any charge to such holders, containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Stock, the number of Merger Shares thereafter issuable to the Shareholders shall be determined by multiplying the number of Merger Shares theretofore issuable to the Shareholders by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities.

 

 

 

 

 

(3)       In case Parent shall distribute to holders of its Parent Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), then in each case the number of Merger Shares that have not yet been issued to the Shareholders shall be determined by multiplying the number of Merger Shares that have not yet been issued to the Shareholders by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price (as defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Parent Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution.

 

(4)       To the extent not covered by subsections (b) or (c) hereof:

 

(A)       In case Parent shall sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share lower than $0.01 per share, then the number of unissued Merger Shares shall thereafter be equal to the sum of the number of unissued Merger Shares immediately prior to such sale or issuance plus the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock sold or issued in such issuance.

 

(B)       In case Parent shall sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into Parent Common Stock for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash or its equivalent, then, in determining the “price per share” of Parent Common Stock and the “consideration received by Parent” for purposes of the first sentence of this subsection (c), the Board of Directors shall determine the fair value of said property, and such determination, if based upon the Board of Directors’ good faith business judgment, shall be binding upon the Shareholders. In determining the “price per share” of Parent Common Stock, any underwriting discounts or commissions paid to brokers, dealers or other selling agents shall not be deducted from the price received by Parent for sales of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or issued in a private placement.

 

(5)       For the purpose of this Section 1.06, the term “Parent Common Stock” shall mean (A) the class of stock designated as the Parent Common Stock of parent at the date of this Agreement or (B) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Parent Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 1.06, a Shareholder shall become entitled to receive any securities of Parent other than Parent Common Stock, (i) if the Shareholder’s right to acquire is on any other basis than that available to all holders of Parent Common Stock, Parent shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm valuing such other securities and (ii) thereafter the number of such other securities so purchasable upon issuance of the Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Parent Common Stock contained in this Section 1.06.

 

(6)       Upon any adjustment of the number of Merger Shares, then and in each such case, Parent shall give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Shareholders as shown on the books of Parent, which notice shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the Shareholders as Merger Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

 

(d)       The common stock, par value $.00001 per share, of Acquiror issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

 

 

 

 

1.07       Surrender of and Exchange of Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock.

 

(a)       As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the stock certificates representing Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (or affidavits of lost certificates in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) shall be surrendered for exchange to the Surviving Corporation. Until so surrendered for exchange, each such stock certificate nominally representing Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock shall be deemed for all purposes (except for payment of dividends thereon or redemption thereof) to evidence the ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock which the holder would be entitled to receive upon its surrender to the Surviving Corporation.

 

(b)       No redemption with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be made with respect to any unsurrendered certificates representing shares of Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock with respect to which the shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been issued in the Merger, until such certificates shall be surrendered as provided herein.

 

(c)       All rights to receive the Merger Consideration into which shares of Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Section 1 shall be deemed to have been paid or issued, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Target Common Stock and Target Preferred Stock.

 

1.08       Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place (a) at the offices of Target at 3:00 p.m., local time, on the earlier of (1) December 28, 2019, or (2) the third business day immediately following the date on which the last of the conditions set forth in Section 6 is fulfilled or waived, or (b) at such other time and place and on such other date as Parent and Target shall agree (the “Closing Date”).

 

2.       Further Agreements.

 

2.01       Access to Information; Confidentiality.

 

(a)       From the date hereof to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Acquiror and Target shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, auditors and agents to afford the officers, employees and agents of one another complete access at all reasonable times to one another’s officers, employees, agents, properties, offices, plants and other facilities and to all books and records, and shall furnish one another with all financial, operating and other data and information as each, through its officers, employees or agents, may reasonably request; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide access or furnish information which it is prohibited by law or contract to provide or furnish.

No party shall issue a press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Merger, without the prior consent of the other parties; provided, however, that Parent may, without the prior consent of any party, issue a press release or otherwise make public statements with respect to the Merger, should such press release or public statements be deemed, in good faith, necessary by Parent to assure its compliance with applicable securities laws.

7.03       Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any person entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim against the Indemnified Party by a person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Person”) or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a Third Person, it shall give the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the Damages.

 

The Indemnifying Party shall have right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense (unless there is a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of its counsel). After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or fails to diligently pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other liabilities or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. No party hereto, without the prior written consent of the other, shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Claim unless the settlement, compromise or consent (1) provides for and includes an express, unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties from all liabilities, claims, demands, actions and obligations in connection therewith and (2) does not provide for any relief other than monetary relief.
