CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

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.” Our corporate name was changed to “Black Bird Biotech, Inc.,” effective June 14, 2021.

Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of BB Potentials and our ongoing operations now include those of BB Potentials.

 

We are the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide 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. (See “Business—MiteXstream”).

 

We also manufacture and sell, under our Grizzly Creek NaturalsTM brand name, CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products.

RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for investors to predict future performance based on current operations. We have a limited operating history upon which investors may base an evaluation of our potential future performance. In particular, we have not proven that we can manufacture and sell our MiteXstream biopesticide product in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet customer requirements, raise sufficient capital in the public and/or private markets or respond effectively to competitive pressures. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop or maintain consistent revenue sources, or that our operations will be profitable and/or generate positive cash flows.

 

Any forecasts we make about our operations may prove to be inaccurate. We must, among other things, determine appropriate risks, rewards, and level of investment in our product lines, respond to economic and market variables outside of our control, respond to competitive developments and continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing such risks and the failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a result of these risks, challenges, and uncertainties, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

 

The report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

There is doubt about our ability to develop as a viable business, and it is expected that we will need additional funding. Our current efforts are focused on developing sales of: (a) our MiteXstream biopesticide product; and (b) our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products. In addition, and assuming the availability of capital, of which there is not assurance, our parallel long-term efforts are focused on the establishment of a hemp processing facility under our Black Bird American Hemp division. To date, we have derived a modest level of revenues. We must obtain capital, in order to exploit the business potential our products, in general, and, in particular, MiteXstream. There can be no assurance that any one of our business activities will prove to be successful.

 

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

 

We have incurred significant losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred significant losses in prior periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $474,047 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,283,928 (unaudited). For the year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred a net loss of $690,158 and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $839,669. Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

 

If we fail to secure the required additional financing on acceptable terms and in a timely manner, our ability to implement our business plan will be compromised and we may be unable to sustain our operations. We have limited capital resources and operations. To date, our operations have been funded extensively from the proceeds of equity sales and, to a lesser extent, debt financings. We will require substantial additional capital in the near future to accomplish our business objectives. We may be unable to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

Even if we obtain financing for our near-term operations, we expect that we will require additional capital thereafter. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors including: (a) our profitability; (b) the release of competitive products and services by our competition; (c) the level of our investment in research and development; and (d) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

Table of Contents

 

If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership held by our existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences, or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional capital by incurring debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of securities, market fluctuations in the price of our shares of common stock could limit our ability to obtain equity financing.

 

We cannot give any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be materially adversely affected, and we could be forced to reduce or discontinue our operations.

 

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, including the commercial exploitation of MiteXstream. We are currently seeking available sources of capital. There is no assurance that we will obtain needed capital, nor is there any assurance that our business will be able to generate revenues that are sufficient to sustain our operations. We are not able to offer assurance that we will be able to obtain needed sources of financing to satisfy our working capital needs.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

If our trademarks and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by competitors, the value of our brands may be diminished, and our business adversely affected. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. If the protection of our intellectual property rights is inadequate to prevent use or misappropriation by third parties, the value of our brands, including MiteXstream, Grizzly Creek Naturals and Black Bird American Hemp, 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 MiteXstream biopesticide and Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD and other products involves, and will involve, the risk of injury to customers and others. There can be no assurance that the use or consumption of any of one of our products will not cause a health-related illness or that it will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. We intend to purchase product liability insurance during September 2021. Any claims or liabilities might not be covered by our insurance, once obtained. Thus, there is no assurance that we would not incur claims or liabilities for which we are not insured or that exceed the amount of our insurance coverage, resulting in cash outlays that could, if significant enough in nature, materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

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

 

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

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

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

 

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

 

It is possible that our common stock will continue to be thinly traded and its market price highly volatile. Our common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “BBBT” in the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Link. For over the past five years, our common stock has traded sporadically and has been extremely limited in nature. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. 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 factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

 

·

quarterly variations in our operating results;

 

·

operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;

 

·

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

 

·

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

 

·

changes in our capital structure;

 

·

changes in market valuations of other pesticide 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 management, hold shares of our restricted common stock, and are able to sell their shares in the market. 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.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, there is a total of 78,450,482 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the currently convertible portions of convertible debt instruments and pursuant to agreements. All such shares constitute an overhang on the market for our common stock and, if and when issued, will be issued without transfer restrictions, pursuant to certain exemptions from registration, and could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock. Also, in the future, we may also issue securities in connection with our obtaining needed capital or an acquisition transaction. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with any such transaction could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of common stock.

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

 

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

 

DILUTION

 

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

 

If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net pro forma as adjusted tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021, was $172,787 (unaudited), or $0.00 per share.

 

The tables below illustrate the dilution to purchasers of Offered Shares in this offering, on a pro forma basis, assuming 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Offered Shares are sold.

The indebtedness to be repaid with such proceeds includes the following: a loan of $25,000 by a third party, Tri-Bridge Ventures LLC, bearing interest at 12% per annum, which debt, incurred in April 2020, was due in January 2021; the promissory note underlying such indebtedness is convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of one share for each $.001 of debt converted anytime after August 30, 2020; the proceeds from this loan were applied to operating expenses and for working capital.

 

 

We reserve the right to change the foregoing use of proceeds, should our management believe it to be in the best interest of our company. The allocations of the proceeds of this offering presented above constitute the current estimates of our management and are based on our current plans, assumptions made with respect to the industries in which we currently or, in the future, expect to operate, general economic conditions and our future revenue and expenditure estimates.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates presented above. Investors must rely on the judgment of our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations (if any), business developments and the rate of our growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds of this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event we do not obtain the entire offering amount hereunder, we may attempt to obtain additional funds through private offerings of our securities or by borrowing funds. Currently, we do not have any committed sources of financing.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 325,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share. As of the date of this Offering Circular, there were 191,675,352 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 74 holders of record.

 

Common Stock

 

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

 

Non-cumulative Voting. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. As of the date of this Offering Circular, our officers and directors own, directly or indirectly, a total of 103,010,322 shares, or approximately 53.74%, of our outstanding common stock, which ownership percentage would be reduced to approximately 42.62%, assuming all of the Offered Shares are sold in this offering, and, thereby, control all corporate matters relating to our company. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Transfer Agent. We have retained the services of Action Stock Transfer Corporation, 2469 E. Fort Union Boulevard, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, Utah 84121, as the transfer agent for our common stock. Action Stock Transfer’s website is located at: www.actionstocktransfer.com. No information found on Action Stock Transfer’s website is part of this Offering Circular.

BUSINESS

 

Preliminary Statements Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our Company After Acquiring Black Bird Potentials Inc.

 

With the January 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., our company emerged from its long-standing status as a “shell company.” Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird and our company’s ongoing operations now include those of Black Bird.

 

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.” Our corporate name was changed to “Black Bird Biotech, Inc.,” effective June 14, 2021. Through 2014, our company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry. From 2015 until the January 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (BB Potentials), our company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of BB Potentials and our ongoing operations now include those of BB Potentials.

Business Overview

 

BB Potentials is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor of MiteXstream, an EPA-registered plant-based biopesticide 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, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products, under the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name. In addition, BB Potentials is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program and has established “Black Bird American Hemp” as the brand name under which these efforts will be conducted.

 

Our corporate website is located at: www.blackbirdbiotech.com. No information found on our company’s website is part of this Offering Circular.

  

MiteXstream

 

Worldwide Exclusivity. Pursuant to a February 2021 Manufacturing, Sales and Distribution License Agreement (the “New MiteXstream Agreement”) with Touchstone Enviro Solutions, Inc. (“Touchstone”), a company owned by three of our directors, Fabian G. Deneault, L. A. Newlan, Jr. and Eric Newlan, BB Potentials possesses the exclusive rights, even as to Touchstone, to manufacture, sell and distribute MiteXstream, an EPA-registered biopesticide (EPA Reg. No. 95366-1). The exclusivity granted would be reduced to a status of non-exclusivity, should we fail to manufacture at least 2,500 gallons of concentrate in any year during the term of the New MiteXstream Agreement; provided, however, that such minimum required is deemed to have been satisfied through December 31, 2022. We are required to pay Touchstone a royalty of $10 per gallon of MiteXstream manufactured by us or by any sublicensee of ours. For no further consideration, we were granted the rights to use the “MiteXstream” trademark and the “Harnessing the Power of Water” trademark.

 

The New MiteXstream Agreement replaced a prior similar agreement with Touchstone (the “Original MiteXstream Agreement”) and served to expand Black Bird’s rights with respect to MiteXstream. The New MiteXstream Agreement contains the following important provisions as compared to the Original MiteXstream Agreement:

(2)

The minimum (2,500 gallons per year) is deemed to have been satisfied through December 31, 2022.

 

The disinterested Directors of our Company approved the New MiteXstream Agreement.

 

Approval as Biopesticide. Effective December 16, 2020, MiteXstream was approved as a biopesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Reg. No. 95366-1). We have begun to seek approval for use of MiteXstream in the various states; the state approval process takes between one and eight months, variously. To date, MiteXstream is approved for sale in Nevada. Until we obtain the required pesticide certification in a state, we will not sell any MiteXstream in that state. In addition, we intend to seek approval of MiteXstream in countries around the world, although no specific time for such actions has been set.

 

Sales and Distribution. We have begun to market MiteXstream through channels known to our management. However, it is our intention to secure a small number of established distributors through which to sell MiteXstream in the United States. There is no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

 

In March 2021, we entered into a distribution agreement with IFC Fulfillment Company (“IFC”), a Los Angeles-based export firm, whereby IFC was appointed the exclusive distributor for MiteXstream in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Our Director, Jack Jie Qin, a Company director, facilitated the signing of the IFC Agreement. As of the date of this Annual Report, IFC has not made a sale of MiteXstream.

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.

Competition. The pesticide industry is characterized by severe competition, evolving industry standards, evolving business and distribution models, price cutting, with resulting downward pressure on gross margins, and price sensitivity on the part of customers. Many of our competitors possess substantially greater resources, financial and otherwise, than does our company. In addition, MiteXstream lacks name recognition. 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. There is no assurance that we will ever overcome these challenges.

 

Regulation. Field testing, production and marketing of pesticide products are regulated by federal, state, local and foreign governments. The EPA regulates pesticides in the U.S. under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended (“FIFRA”). Pesticides also are regulated by the states. MiteXstream is registered under FIFRA and, prior to sale in any state, will be approved by such state.

 

CBD Products – Grizzly Creek Naturals

 

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

 

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Products for Animals. In August 2020, we introduced CBD products for dogs under our Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name.

 

Distribution.

 

In-House Distribution. Since it began to manufacture and sell its CBD products in mid-2019, BB Potentials has self-distributed its products. In December 2020, these distribution efforts we formalized with the formation of a new distribution subsidiary, Big Sky American Dist., LLC, a Montana limited liability company (“Big Sky American”). Big Sky American currently distributes an array of consumer products, including the Grizzly Creek Naturals products, to retail locations in Western Montana. In December 2020, Big Sky American entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Big Sky APA”), whereby it purchased certain distribution-related assets associated with approximately 200 retail locations in Western Montana for $200,000 in cash. These assets became available for purchase, due their owner’s determination to terminate its distribution business in such locations. The closing of under the Big Sky APA occurred in February 2021.

 

Website. We sell our products to consumers through our website: www.grizzlycreeknaturals.com.

 

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

 

In March 2020, Black Bird entered into a Regional Development and Distribution Agreement with Northland Partners, LLC (the “Tri-State Distributor”), who will focus on distribution of our products in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. Tri-State Distributor has the right to distribute Black Bird’s products anywhere in the United States. Due to existing COVID-19-related restrictions during 2020, the Tri-State Distributor did not purchase any products from us. We are unable to estimate our total 2021 sales to Tri-State Distributor.

 

In May 2020, we began to distribute our hand sanitizer products through Raghorn Wholesale, LLC (“Raghorn”), a Montana-based distributor of consumer products to approximately 1,000 retail locations in Montana, North Dakota, Idaho and Washington. In July 2020, Black Bird and Raghorn entered into a written distribution agreement. Raghorn has become our largest customer. Through the date of this Annual Report, Raghorn has purchased approximately $30,000 of our hand sanitizer products. Raghorn does not distribute our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products. Raghorn is the party from which Big Sky American purchased the distribution assets under the Big Sky APA.

 

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

 

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

 

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 who have used CBD products include, among others:

 

Relief for Chronic Pain

Promotes Healthy Weight

Reduces Seizures

Improves Heart Health

Reduces Anxiety and Depression

Improves Skin Conditions

Reduces Inflammation

Competition.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Regulation.

 

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

 

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

 

Hemp-Related Activities

 

We have formed a division of our company that focuses on hemp-related business opportunities under the “Black Bird American Hemp” brand name. Black Bird American Hemp currently seeks to develop industrial hemp processing operations in the State of Montana. In this regard, while Black Bird is a licensed hemp grower in Montana under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program, it is not contemplated that Black Bird will, itself, become a significant grower of hemp.

 

Hemp Industry Background. 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. In fact, hemp has been found to be useful as a crop, providing many associated products for over 10,000 years, including biodegradable plastics, “hemp-crete,” insulation, paper, textiles, paint, biofuel, food and animal feed.

 

The road to development of industrial hemp in the United States has not been smooth. Famous early Americans, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, among others, were known to grow hemp and its use in making paper was widespread during colonial times. Throughout the 19th Century, industrial hemp served as a significant cash crop. In the 20th Century, industrial hemp became associated with the use of marijuana, due to the fact that both belong to the Cannabis Sativa species, and was effectively outlawed.

 

It was not until the passage of the Farm Bill of 2014, followed by the Farm Bill of 2018, that Congress finally disassociated industrial hemp and marijuana and removed both CBD and hemp from the Class I controlled substance category of the Controlled Substance Act. Industrial hemp contains, by definition, a maximum of 0.3% of the psychoactive substance, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

 

Like many states, Montana has adopted a Hemp Pilot Program (the “Montana Program”) for farmers in Montana, pursuant to the requirements set forth in the Farm Bill of 2018. The Montana Program requires hemp growers to obtain a yearly permit for growing industrial hemp, subject to compliance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Agriculture of Montana.

 

For 2020, approximately 40,000 acres of licensed hemp were cultivated in Montana and a total of approximately 465,000 acres of licensed hemp was cultivated in the United States, which acreage totals are expected to increase in each of the next several years. According to New Frontier Data, hemp-related revenues in the U.S. for 2020 will be approximately $5.9 billion.

The passage of the Farm Bill of 2018 removed hemp and all of its derivatives from the Controlled Substances Act, thereby reviving hemp production and processing as viable businesses in the United States for companies seeking to meet the now-growing demand for hemp products, hemp-derived CBD and hemp consumer packaged goods.

 

The Hemp Business Journal estimated that the U.S. hemp industry will grow to at least $1.9 billion by 2022, with an estimated 14.4% annual rate of growth. According to a 2019 report by Research and Markets, the global industrial hemp market size is anticipated to reach $10.6 billion by 2025.

 

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, especially China and many European 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. The Company believes that American grown and processed hemp products will continue to gain market share in future years.

 

We believe that there is a shortage of hemp processing capacity in the United States, in general, and in the State of Montana, in particular.

 

Hemp Processing. The processing of industrial hemp involves the mechanical stripping of the hemp stalk, which range in length from four to twelve or more feet, separating the tough woody interior, the “hurd,” from the softer fibrous exterior of the stalk, the “bast” material, which is the cellulosic fibers found in the phloem of the stalk. We are attempting to establish a hemp processing facility in Montana that will utilize only mechanical processing techniques without the application of chemicals.

 

Proposed Hemp Processing Facility. Should we obtain adequate funds, we intend to establish a small hemp processing facility in Montana capable of processing approximately 1,000 acres of hemp on an annual basis. There is no assurance that we will ever possess sufficient funds with which to establish the proposed hemp processing facility.

 

Design and Construction. We have retained the professional services of Ag Processing Solutions, Inc. (“AgPro”), a Great Falls, Montana, engineering firm. AgPro is to assist us in the selection of the location of the proposed hemp processing facility, the specifications for the equipment to be utilized therein and the purchase of the equipment. In addition, AgPro would monitor the construction of the infrastructure and installation of the equipment associated with the proposed hemp processing facility.

 

Location. We have not yet selected a location for the proposed hemp processing facility.

 

Source of Processing Material. Black Bird American Hemp would acquire hemp to process from farmers, directly. This will be accomplished by purchase of harvested crops, contracting for purchase of crops prior to the planting season or any time up to harvest. Black Bird American Hemp may contract with farmers for the farmers to plant and deliver harvested crops at an established price or at market. Black Bird American Hemp may contract with farmers to provide the farmer with seed for planting, participate in crop costs during the growing period and agree to pay a predetermined price for a crop at the time of harvest. Black Bird American Hemp may, in addition, offer hemp processing services for a fee based on a weight-of-product-processed basis and may include with such services short or intermediate-term hemp storage.

 

Montana Licensing Requirements. To commence operations at the proposed hemp processing facility, Black Bird American Hemp will be required to obtain a hemp processor license, a hemp grower license and a commodity dealer license from the State of Montana, in addition to certain licenses from the local jurisdiction in which the proposed hemp processing facility will be located.

 

Products. Should the proposed hemp processing facility commence operations, Black Bird American Hemp intends to sell, for its own account or for processing customers’ accounts, the products derived from the proposed hemp processing facility’s operations, including, without limitation, bast, hurd, hemp oil, hemp seeds and hemp hearts. The potential applications and, thus, target markets for Black Bird American Hemp’s products include the following, among many others:

 

 

Bast is the fiber collected from the phloem (the “inner bark” or “skin”) or bast surrounding the stem of the hemp plant. The bast fiber is used in many forms of textiles and in the manufacture of many industrial products, including bioplastics and insulation, both as batt insulation and blown-in insulation. Black Bird American Hemp intends to focus its sales efforts on potential industrial applications.

 

 

 

 

Hurd is the woody chips within the inner core of the hemp stock. Hurd is used to manufacture paper products and certain building materials, such as “hemp-crete” and fiber board, as an oil absorbent and for animal bedding. Black Bird American Hemp intends to focus its sales efforts on building materials and animal bedding.

 

 

 

 

Hemp Flower is the source for hemp seeds and hemp oil, from which CBD is able to be extracted. Black Bird American Hemp intends to focus on sales of the hemp heart, the protein-dense “nut” within the hemp seed.

 

 
21

 

 

Competition. Black Bird American Hemp will face competition from other hemp processors, some of which can be expected to have longer operating histories and stronger financial resources and experience than Black Bird American Hemp. If Black Bird American Hemp is not successful in competing effectively, our company could experience an adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

In order to be competitive, Black Bird American Hemp will be required to implement effective marketing, sales and support strategies. Black Bird American Hemp may not be able to retain the services of sufficient expertise in marketing, sales and support efforts, to the detriment of our company’s overall business, financial condition, results of operations and market share. There is no assurance Black Bird American Hemp will successfully compete in its markets.

 

Sales and Distribution. Black Bird American Hemp will market hemp products directly to end-users of such products and will seek distributors who are able to demonstrate an ability to develop robust sales of Black Bird American Hemp’s products.

 

Governmental Regulations.

 

In General. The Farm Bill of 2018 removed hemp and all of its derivatives from the Controlled Substances Act. However, state or local governments can, and do, impose limitations.

 

In Montana. To commence operations at the proposed hemp processing facility, Black Bird American Hemp will be required to obtain a hemp processor license, a hemp grower license and a commodity dealer license from the State of Montana, in addition to certain licenses from the local jurisdiction in which the proposed hemp processing facility will be located.

 

Recent Development. Recently, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) published an Interim Final Rule (“IFR”) that could be disruptive to United States hemp processors. The IFR can be interpreted to declare that, for a short period of time in the processing cycle, there occurs a concentration of THC in excess of the 0.3% limitation, resulting in the whole product becoming a controlled substance, even though the process would result in no product with THC in excess of the 0.3 % limitation. A lawsuit has been instigated by the Hemp Industries Association, to block the effect of such IFR, as it appears to be an illegal extension of the authority of the DEA and contrary to the Farm Bill of 2018, the bill legalizing industrial hemp. If the IFR is upheld by the courts, it could have a damaging effect on Black Bird American Hemp’s ability to process hemp and carry on the intended business.

 

Environmental Laws. Black Bird American Hemp intends to operate the proposed hemp processing facility in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations. If Black Bird American Hemp should fail to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, it is possible that a governmental enforcement action could result in the restricting or ceasing of its then-existing operations, if any. Any such situation could result in our company’s being required to take measures that would require capital expenditures, installation of new equipment or other corrective actions. In addition, our company could be required to pay for any losses or damage due to Black Bird American Hemp’s operations and/or be required to pay civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of any such laws or regulations.

 

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 September 2021.

 

Intellectual Property

 

In General. We regard our rights to intellectual property pertaining to “MiteXstream” and “Grizzly Creek Naturals” 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”).

 

Trademarks. We are the owner of the “Grizzly Creek Naturals” and “Black Bird American Hemp” trademarks and have the exclusive right to the use of the “MiteXstream” trademark. In addition, we have the right to use the “Harnessing the Power of Water” trademark, in associated with MiteXstream. It is intended that, in the near future, filings for the registration of these trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will be made.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Effects of COVID-19

 

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

 

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business, as well as to obtain needed inventory, due to supply chain delays. We are unable to predict when such limitations will ease.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section includes financial results of (1) our company, 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 six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and (2) the historical financial results of BB Potentials for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Cautionary Statement

 

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

 

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

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

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

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

 

 

 

·

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

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

With the acquisition of BB Potentials effective January 1, 2020, BB Potentials’ operations became the operations of our company.

 

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, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray 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, BB Potentials is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program and has established “Black Bird American Hemp” as the brand name under which these efforts will be conducted.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Following our acquisition of BB Potentials, 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.

  

Results of Operations

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 (“Interim 2021”) and 2020 (“Interim 2020”). Beginning in April 2021, Big Sky American began its consumer product distribution operations in Northwest Montana, which had a positive impact on our operating results for the second quarter of 2021, when compared to our operating results for the first quarter of 2021. During Interim 2021, our business operations generated $35,212 (unaudited) in revenues from sales of consumer products, including our Grizzly Creek Naturals products, with a cost of goods sold of $23,631 (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $11,581 (unaudited). During Interim 2020, our business operations generated $35,874 (unaudited) in revenues from consumer product sales, including sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals products, with a cost of goods sold of $13,265 (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $22,609 (unaudited).

 

During Interim 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $378,453 (unaudited), which were comprised of $117,787 (unaudited) in consulting services, $9,927 (unaudited) in website expenses, $43,773 (unaudited) in legal and professional services, $-0- (unaudited) for product license, $6,660 (unaudited) in rent, $5,078 (unaudited) in advertising and marketing expense and $193,559 (unaudited) in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net loss of $(474,047) (unaudited).

 

During Interim 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $127,697 (unaudited), which were comprised of $39,299 (unaudited) in consulting services, $3,334 (unaudited) in website expenses, $42,950 (unaudited) in legal and professional services and $31,329 (unaudited) in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net loss of $(105,149) (unaudited).

 

We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter, beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021 based on two primary circumstances: (1) sales of MiteXstream are expected to begin during the last half of the third quarter of 2021; and (2) the operations of Big Sky American are expected to expand over time. There is no assurance that material sales of MiteXstream will be realized or that the operations of Big Sky American will yield increased sales. We expect to incur operating losses through at least the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

Further, because of our 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.

 

Years Ended December 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) and 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”). During Fiscal 2020, our business operations generated $57,604 in revenues from sales of our Grizzly Creek Naturals products with a cost of goods sold of $28,245, resulting in a gross profit of $29,359. During Fiscal 2019, our company did not generate any revenues. During Fiscal 2019, BB Potentials generated $17,771 in revenues from sales of Grizzly Creek Naturals products with a cost of goods sold of $17,802, resulting in a gross loss of $31.

 

During Fiscal 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $714,162, which were comprised of $266,640 in consulting services ($23,000 of which was paid by the issuance of common stock), $17,899 in website expenses, $143,310 in legal and professional services, $23,280 for product license, $17,200 in rent, $1,918 in advertising and marketing expense, $4,461 in bad debt expense, $29,788 in beneficial conversion expense and $209,666 in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net loss of $690,158.

 

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

Table of Contents

 

We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect to incur operating losses through at least December 31, 2021. Management believes that sales of MiteXstream, which are expected to begin prior to the end of the third quarter of 2021, will allow our company to operate at a profit starting in 2022, although there is no assurance that such will be the case. Further, because of our current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of MiteXstream,, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

 

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

 

Plan of Operation and Recent Developments

 

MiteXstream. Pursuant to our agreement with Touchstone Enviro Solutions, Inc. (“Touchstone”), a company owned by three of our directors, Fabian G. Deneault, Eric Newlan and L. A. Newlan, Jr., BB Potentials possesses the exclusive rights, even as to Touchstone, to manufacture, sell and distribute MiteXstream. The exclusivity granted would be reduced to a status of non-exclusivity, should be fail to manufacture at least 2,500 gallons of concentrate in any year during the term of the MiteXstream Agreement; provided, however, that such minimum required is deemed to have been satisfied through December 31, 2022. We are required to pay Touchstone a royalty of $10 per gallon of MiteXstream manufactured by us or by any sublicensee of ours. For no further consideration, we were granted the rights to use the “MiteXstream” trademark and the “Harnessing the Power of Water” trademark.

 

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

 

Effective December 16, 2020, MiteXstream was approved as a biopesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Reg. No. 95366-1). We have begun to seek approval for use of MiteXstream in the various states; the state approval process takes between one and eight months, variously. To date, MiteXstream is approved for sale in six states, Nevada, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Kentucky, with applications pending in nine additional states, including California. Until we obtain the required pesticide certification in a state, we will not sell any MiteXstream. In addition, we intend to seek approval of MiteXstream in countries around the world, although no specific time for such actions has been set.

 

We have begun to market MiteXstream through channels known to our management. However, until July 2021, supply chain interruptions prevented us from producing commercial quantities. These supply chain interruptions have been resolved and sales of MiteXstream are expected to begin prior to the end of the third quarter of 2021.

 

In March 2021, we entered into a distribution agreement with IFC Fulfillment Company (“IFC”), a Los Angeles-based export firm, whereby IFC was appointed the exclusive distributor for MiteXstream in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Our Director, Jack Jie Qin, a Company director, facilitated the signing of the IFC Agreement. As of the date of this Offering Circular, IFC has not made a sales of MiteXstream.

 

When we obtain sufficient capital, it is our intention to hire a national sales director. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve this objective. In any event, we have begun efforts to secure a a small number of established distributors through which to sell MiteXstream in the United States and internationally. There is no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

 

CBD and Other Consumer Products. We have created “Grizzly Creek Naturals” as the brand name for our CBD-related products, which are manufactured by our company using CBD purchased from third parties. We currently manufacture and sell our line of Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products, including CBD Oils and Gummies, CBD Topicals and CBD dog treats. We also manufacture and sell hand sanitizer gel and spray products (without CBD) under our Grizzly Creek Naturals brand. In addition, since the operations of Big Sky American commenced in April 2021, we sell an array of consumer products, including Grizzly Creek Naturals product, to retail locations in Western Montana.

 

Distribution. When it began to manufacture and sell our CBD products in mid-2019, BB Potentials self-distributed its products. In December 2020, these distribution efforts we formalized with the formation of Big Sky American. In February 2021, Big Sky American purchased certain distribution-related assets associated with approximately 200 retail locations in Western Montana for $200,000 in cash. Big Sky American currently distributes an array of consumer products, including the Grizzly Creek Naturals products, to retail locations in Western Montana.

 

Website. We sell our Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products to consumers through our website: www.grizzlycreeknaturals.com.

The change in our working capital position from December 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021, is attributable primarily to our applying $200,000 in available cash to the purchase of distribution assets in February 2021.

Our company’s current cash position of approximately $100,000 is adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder 2021.

The significant change in our working capital position from December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2020, is attributable primarily to (1) the cancellation of $1,133,097 of debt in exchange for shares of our common stock, pursuant to three separate agreements with related parties and (2) $530,500 in proceeds from sales of our common stock, including $528,000 derived from the 2020 Reg A.

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

 

Our company’s current cash position of approximately $50,000 is adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder 2021. However, we must obtain additional capital from third parties to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital.

 

December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2019, Black Bird had $85,969 in cash and working capital of $114,945, compared to $37,662 in cash and working capital of $37,662 at December 31, 2018.

Inflation

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

 

For the foreseeable future, we expect that our operating results will be impacted by the seasonality of farming operations, including cannabis grow operations. However, we are currently unable to predict the level to which such seasonality will impact our business.

(formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.)

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2021

 

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 June 30, 2021, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

 

Nature of Operations

 

Black Bird Biotech, Inc. (formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2006 under the name “Cyprium Resources Inc.”, which was changed to “Digital Development Partners, Inc.” in August 2009. Effective June 14, 2021, the Company’s name change to “Black Bird Biotech, Inc.” Through 2014, the Company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry.

 

From 2015 until the January 1, 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“BB Potentials”), the Company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of BB Potentials and the Company’s ongoing operations now include those of BB Potentials. References to “the Company” include BB Potentials, as well as its other wholly-owned subsidiaries: Big Sky American Dist., LLC, a Montana limited liability company, and Black Bird Hemp Manager, LLC, a Montana limited liability company.

 

The Company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of spider mites, a pest that destroys crops, especially 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, and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products. In addition, BB Potentials is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company also has a working capital deficit as of June 30, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2021. 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.

 

 
F-7

Table of Contents

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There are potential dilutive securities as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

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.

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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, the cumulative effect of the changes on retained earnings is $29,788, additional paid-in-capital is $56,343 and notes payable is $26,555, as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 the effect on EPS would be unchanged after the adoption of ASU 2020-06.

 

3. ACQUISITION OF BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Black Bird Biotech, Inc. (formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Black Bird Biotech, Inc. (formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.) and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and also has only a small capital surplus that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Reverse Merger

 

Description of the Matter

 

In 2020, the Company was the accounting acquiree in a transaction accounted for as a “reverse merger” where a non-public company was the accounting acquirer as further described in Note 3. The Company consolidated the two entities effective January 1, 2020 in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. The Company performed an assessment of the carrying value of the private company and calculated the appropriate amounts to record relating to the recapitalization on the balance sheet and more specifically, the equity section of the balance sheet.

 

Auditing the Company’s accounting of the reverse merger and ultimate consolidation of the two entities is complex due to the judgment involved related to the recapitalization of the accounting acquiree’s equity and the application of the consolidation in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations.

 

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

 

We obtained an understanding of the Company’s controls over their accounting for business combinations. Our testing included among other things, recalculating the significant components of the recapitalization, agreeing the terms of the merger agreement to the application of the recapitalization and tested the balances of the accounting acquirer. We also tested the equity components of the consolidated group from the recapitalization forward and the consolidation of the two entities for the year to determine it is presented in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations.

BLACK BIRD BIOTECH, INC.

(formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Black Bird Biotech, Inc. (formerly Digital Development Partners, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2006 under the name “Cyprium Resources Inc.”, which was changed to Digital Development Partners, Inc. in August 2009. Effective June 14, 2021, the Company’s name changed to its current name. Through 2014, the Company was involved, first, in the mining industry and, then, in the communications industry.

 

From 2015 until the January 1, 2020 acquisition of Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Black Bird”), the Company was a “shell company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird and the Company’s ongoing operations now include those of Black Bird. References to “the Company” include Black Bird, as well as its other wholly-owned subsidiaries: Big Sky American Dist., LLC, a Montana limited liability company, and Black Bird Hemp Manager, LLC, a Montana limited liability company.

 

The Company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of spider mites, a pest that destroys crops, especially 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, and CBD-infused personal care products, as well as hand sanitizer gel and spray products. In addition, Black Bird is a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN

 

Going Concern

 

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

 

The Company’s activities will necessitate significant uses of working capital beyond 2020. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s researching for new markets. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from related party loans.

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

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

 

 
F-21

Table of Contents

 

Income Taxes

 

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

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. At December 31, 2020, there were potentially dilutive securities of the Company outstanding; at December 31, 2019, there were no potentially dilutive securities of the Company outstanding.

 

Related Parties

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

3. ACQUISITION OF BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

 

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

 

Due to the effects of the “reverse merger” acquisition of Black Bird occurring effective January 1, 2020, in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, the presentation of the financial statements represents the continuation of Black Bird, the accounting acquirer, except for the legal capital structure. Historical shareholders’ equity of the Company, the accounting acquiree, has been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization. Retained earnings (deficit) of the Black Bird, the accounting acquirer have been carried forward after the acquisition and operations prior to the merger are those of Black Bird, the accounting acquirer. Earnings per share for periods prior to the merger have been adjusted to reflect the recapitalization.

 

Accordingly, (1) the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, reports the Company and Black Bird on a consolidated basis, (2) the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, reports the Company as it existed prior to its acquisition of Black Bird, (3) the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) for December 31, 2019 reflects the Company as it existed prior to its acquisition of Black Bird, and for December 31, 2020 reflects an adjustment for the revere merger (recapitalization) between the Company and Black Bird, (4) the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, reports the Company and Black Bird on a consolidated basis, and (5), the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, report historical information of Black Bird.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company consummated the Merger Agreement with Black Bird. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 120,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Black Bird and four persons were added to the Company’s Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s four new directors were issued a total of 100,178,661 shares of Company common stock. Thus, a change in control of the Company occurred in connection with the Merger Agreement.

12. ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

In December 2020, a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company, Big Sky American Dist., LLC, a Montana limited liability company (“Big Sky American”), which distributes the Company’s Grizzly Creek Naturals products, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Big Sky APA”), whereby it was to purchase certain distribution-related assets associated with approximately 200 retail locations in Western Montana for $200,000 in cash, including a $20,000 non-refundable deposit paid at signing. The closing of this transaction occurred in February 2021. (See Note 15. Subsequent Events—Asset Purchase Agreement).

 

13. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2017, through December 31, 2019, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, as of December 31, 2020.

 

No provision was made for federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2020, since the Company had net operating losses.

 

The Company has available net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1,988,000 which begins to expire in 2029 unless utilized beforehand. The availability of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock. As presented below, the Company generated a deferred tax asset through the net operating loss carry-forward. However, a 100% valuation allowance has been established because the ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available. Management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies that can be implemented by the Company in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the period in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available to reduce income taxes payable, management has established a full valuation allowance such that the net deferred tax asset is $0, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

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

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and for the period from October 16, 2018 (inception), through December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BLACK BIRD POTENTIALS INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

 

Organization

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

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

 

Leases

 

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

 

Concentration of Cash and Credit Risk

 

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

 

 
F-35

Table of Contents

 

Inventory

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable

 

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

 

Advertising

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

3. Regulation A Offering

Total Stockholders’ Equity

 

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

 

9. Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

10. Subsequent Events

 

Acquisition Transaction

 

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

 

Facility Lease

 

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

 

Distribution Agreements

 

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

 

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

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements

 

Note 1. Basis of Unaudited Pro Forma Presentation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Note 2. BBP Acquisition

 

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

 

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

 

Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

 

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

 

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

Black Bird Biotech, Inc.

 

 

NOTICE TO INVESTORS

 

The securities of Black Bird Biotech, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to which this Subscription Agreement relates, represent an investment that involves a high degree of risk, suitable only for persons who can bear the economic risk for an indefinite period of time and who can afford to lose their entire investments. Investors should further understand that this investment is illiquid and is expected to continue to be illiquid for an indefinite period of time. No public market exists for the securities to which this Subscription Agreement relates.

 

The securities offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities or blue sky laws and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws. Although an Offering Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), that Offering Statement does not include the same information that would be included in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities offered hereby have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the merits of the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates or the adequacy or accuracy of this Subscription Agreement or any other materials or information made available to prospective investors in connection with the offering to which this Subscription Agreement. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.

 

The securities offered hereby cannot be sold or otherwise transferred, except in compliance with the Securities Act. In addition, the securities offered hereby cannot be sold or otherwise transferred, except in compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws. Investors who are not “accredited investors” (as that term is defined in Section 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) are subject to limitations on the amount they may invest, as described in Section 4(g) of this Subscription Agreement.

 

To determine the availability of exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as such may relate to the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, the Company is relying on each investor’s representations and warranties included in this Subscription Agreement and the other information provided by each investor in connection herewith.

 

Prospective investors may not treat the contents of this Subscription Agreement, the Offering Circular or any of the other materials provided by the Company (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), or any prior or subsequent communications from the Company or any of its officers, employees or agents (including “Testing the Waters” materials), as investment, legal or tax advice. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examinations of the Company and the terms of the offering to which this Subscription Agreement relates, including the merits and the risks involved. Each prospective investor should consult such investor’s own counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as to investment, legal, tax and other related matters concerning such investor’s proposed investment in the Company.

 

The Offering Materials may contain forward-looking statements and information relating to, among other things, the Company, its business plan, its operating strategy and its industries. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of, assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. When used in the Offering Materials, the words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which constitute forward looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after such date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering. Investor acknowledges that, except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to any advisor or representative of Investor, by the Company with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition.

 

(c) Investment Experience; Investor Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and, together, they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Offered Shares, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Risk Factors”, and has determined that such an investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor is capable of bearing a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Offered Shares.

 

(d) No Registration. Investor understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the Securities Act, on the ground that the issuance thereof is exempt under Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated, in part, on the truth and accuracy of Investor’s representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Offered Shares in the Offering.

 

Investor further understands that the Offered Shares are not being registered under the securities laws of any state, on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registrable public offering in such state, since the Offered Shares are “covered securities” under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996.

 

Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Offered Shares, unless such Offered Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws, or exemptions from such registration requirements are available.

(e) Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is a limited public market for the Offered Shares and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will continue to exist. Investor must, therefore, bear the economic risk of the investment in the Subject Offered Shares indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor’s entire investment in the Subject Offered Shares.

 

(f) Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. Investor represents that either:

 

(1) Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act; or

 

(2) that the Purchase Price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Offered Shares in the Offering, does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the greater of Investor’s annual income or net worth (or, in the case where Investor is a non-natural person, Investor’s revenue or net assets for such Investor’s most recently completed fiscal year end).

 

Investor represents that, to the extent Investor has any questions with respect to Investor’s status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, Investor has sought professional advice.

 

(g) Investor Information. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to Investor’s status as a Company shareholder and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is, or may become, subject, including, without limitation, the need to determine the accredited investor status of the Company’s shareholders. Investor further agrees that, in the event Investor transfers any Offered Shares, Investor will require the transferee of any such Offered Shares to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer.

 

(h) Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Share Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Share Purchase Price of the Offered Shares in the Offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company’s internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value. Investor further acknowledges that future offerings of securities of the Company may be made at lower valuations, with the result that Investor’s investment will bear a lower valuation.

 

(i) Domicile. Investor maintains Investor’s domicile (and is not a transient or temporary resident) at the address provided herein.

 

(j) Foreign Investors. If Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), Investor hereby represents that Investor is in full compliance with the laws of Investor’s jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Offered Shares or any use of this Subscription Agreement, including, without limitation, (1) the legal requirements within Investor’s jurisdiction for the purchase of the Subject Offered Shares, (2) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (3) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (4) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Subject Offered Shares. Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Subject Offered Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Investor’s jurisdiction.

 

(k) Fiduciary Capacity. If Investor is purchasing the Subject Offered Shares in a fiduciary capacity for another person or entity, including, without limitation, a corporation, partnership, trust or any other juridical entity, Investor has been duly authorized and empowered to execute this Subscription Agreement and all other related documents. Upon request of the Company, Investor will provide true, complete and current copies of all relevant documents creating Investor, authorizing Investor’s investment in the Company and/or evidencing the satisfaction of the foregoing.

 

5. Indemnity. The representations, warranties and covenants made by Investor herein shall survive the consummation of this Subscription Agreement. Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors and agents, and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, including attorneys’ fees on appeal) and expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any false representation or warranty or breach of failure by Investor to comply with any covenant or agreement made by Investor herein or in any other document furnished by Investor to any of the foregoing in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Digital Development Partners, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of POWER UP LENDING GROUP LTD., a Virginia corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $68,500.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on April 22, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of twelve percent (12%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.

 

 
1

 

 

1.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 22,518,094)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4 Method of Conversion.

 

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).

 

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

 

(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.

 

1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

1.7 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”) or as otherwise agreed to between the Borrower and the Holder, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”).

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

 

ARTICLE III. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

 

If any of the following events of default (each, an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

 

3.1 Failure to Pay Principal and Interest. The Borrower fails to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note, whether at maturity or upon acceleration and such breach continues for a period of five (5) days after written notice from the Holder.

 

3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

 

3.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

 

3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.5 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

 

3.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.

 

3.7 Delisting of Common Stock. The Borrower shall fail to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on at least one of the OTC (which specifically includes the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group) or an equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the American Stock Exchange.

 

3.8 Failure to Comply with the Exchange Act. The Borrower shall fail to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act; and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (the filing of a Form 15 with the SEC is an immediate Event of Default).

 

3.9 Liquidation. Any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

 

 
5

 

 

3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

 

3.11 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.12 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

 

3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Black Bird Biotech, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of POWER UP LENDING GROUP LTD., a Virginia corporation, or registered assigns (the “Holder”) the sum of $78,500.00 together with any interest as set forth herein, on August 13, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of twelve percent (12%)(the “Interest Rate”) per annum from the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twenty two percent (22%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date but shall not be payable until the Note becomes payable (whether at Maturity Date or upon acceleration or by prepayment). All payments due hereunder (to the extent not converted into common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the terms hereof) shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1 Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount (as defined in Article III), each in respect of the remaining outstanding amount of this Note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid amount of this Note into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Notes or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. The beneficial ownership limitations on conversion as set forth in the section may NOT be waived by the Holder. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2) plus (4) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.4 hereof.

1.2 Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall equal the Variable Conversion Price (as defined herein)(subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Borrower relating to the Borrower’s securities or the securities of any subsidiary of the Borrower, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary distributions and similar events). The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 61% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 39%). “Market Price” means the lowest Trading Price (as defined below) for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. “Trading Price” means, for any security as of any date, the closing bid price on the OTCQB, OTCQX, Pink Sheets electronic quotation system or applicable trading market (the “OTC”) as reported by a reliable reporting service (“Reporting Service”) designated by the Holder (i.e. Bloomberg) or, if the OTC is not the principal trading market for such security, the closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets”. If the Trading Price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, the Trading Price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes being converted for which the calculation of the Trading Price is required in order to determine the Conversion Price of such Notes. “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTC, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded.

 

1.3 Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Note issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved six times the number of shares that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Note (assuming that the 4.99% limitation set forth in Section 1.1 is not in effect)(based on the respective Conversion Price of the Note (as defined in Section 1.2) in effect from time to time, initially 32,961,283)(the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased with the written consent of the Holder) from time to time in accordance with the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Notes shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4 Method of Conversion.

 

(a) Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of this Note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the Default Amount, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time from time to time after the Issue Date, by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 1.4(b), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment in full of any amounts owed hereunder).

 

(b) Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.

(c) Delivery of Common Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion.

 

(d) Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system.

 

(e) Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline due to action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $2,000 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(e) are justified.

 

1.5 Concerning the Shares. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

 

Any restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration. In the event that the Company does not reasonably accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration (such as Rule 144), at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.6 Effect of Certain Events.

 

(a) Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III). “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

(b) Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, ten (10) days prior written notice (but in any event at least five (5) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity (if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.

 

(c) Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s shareholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion of this Note after the date of record for determining shareholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had such Holder been the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such Distribution.

 

1.7 Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Prepayment Periods”) or as otherwise agreed to between the Borrower and the Holder, the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 1.7. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Borrower is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to Holder, or upon the direction of the Holder as specified by the Holder in a writing to the Borrower (which shall direction to be sent to Borrower by the Holder at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date). If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash equal to the percentage (“Prepayment Percentage”) as set forth in the table immediately following this paragraph opposite the applicable Prepayment Period, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”).

ARTICLE II. CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

2.1 Sale of Assets. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not, without the Holder’s written consent, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any significant portion of its assets outside the ordinary course of business. Any consent to the disposition of any assets may be conditioned on a specified use of the proceeds of disposition.

3.2 Conversion and the Shares. The Borrower fails to issue shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or announces or threatens in writing that it will not honor its obligation to do so) upon exercise by the Holder of the conversion rights of the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note, fails to transfer or cause its transfer agent to transfer (issue) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, the Borrower directs its transfer agent not to transfer or delays, impairs, and/or hinders its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note, or fails to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to this Note as and when required by this Note (or makes any written announcement, statement or threat that it does not intend to honor the obligations described in this paragraph) and any such failure shall continue uncured (or any written announcement, statement or threat not to honor its obligations shall not be rescinded in writing) for three (3) business days after the Holder shall have delivered a Notice of Conversion. It is an obligation of the Borrower to remain current in its obligations to its transfer agent. It shall be an event of default of this Note, if a conversion of this Note is delayed, hindered or frustrated due to a balance owed by the Borrower to its transfer agent. If at the option of the Holder, the Holder advances any funds to the Borrower’s transfer agent in order to process a conversion, such advanced funds shall be paid by the Borrower to the Holder within forty-eight (48) hours of a demand from the Holder.

 

3.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in this Note and any collateral documents including but not limited to the Purchase Agreement and such breach continues for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

 

3.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made herein or in any agreement, statement or certificate given in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Purchase Agreement), shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.5 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

 

3.6 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower or any subsidiary of the Borrower.

5

 

 

3.10 Cessation of Operations. Any cessation of operations by Borrower or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

 

3.11 Financial Statement Restatement. The restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC at any time after 180 days after the Issuance Date for any date or period until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the un-restated financial statement, have constituted a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note or the Purchase Agreement.

 

3.12 Replacement of Transfer Agent. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower fails to provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower.

 

3.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the Other Agreements, after the passage of all applicable notice and cure or grace periods, shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note and the Other Agreements, in which event the Holder shall be entitled (but in no event required) to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note and the Other Agreements by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder. “Other Agreements” means, collectively, all agreements and instruments between, among or by: (1) the Borrower, and, or for the benefit of, (2) the Holder and any affiliate of the Holder, including, without limitation, promissory notes; provided, however, the term “Other Agreements” shall not include the related or companion documents to this Note. Each of the loan transactions will be cross-defaulted with each other loan transaction and with all other existing and future debt of Borrower to the Holder.

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Section 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due at the Maturity Date), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined herein). UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 3.2, THE NOTE SHALL BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AND THE BORROWER SHALL PAY TO THE HOLDER, IN FULL SATISFACTION OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO: (Y) THE DEFAULT AMOUNT (AS DEFINED HEREIN); MULTIPLIED BY (Z) TWO (2). Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default specified in Sections 3.1 (solely with respect to failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon when due on this Note upon a Trading Market Prepayment Event pursuant to Section 1.7 or upon acceleration), 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, and/or 3.14 exercisable through the delivery of written notice to the Borrower by such Holders (the “Default Notice”), and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified the remaining sections of Articles III (other than failure to pay the principal hereof or interest thereon at the Maturity Date specified in Section 3,1 hereof), the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, an amount equal to 150% times the sum of (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and/or (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof (the then outstanding principal amount of this Note to the date of payment plus the amounts referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z) shall collectively be known as the “Default Amount”) and all other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable, all without demand, presentment or notice, all of which hereby are expressly waived, together with all costs, including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, of collection, and the Holder shall be entitled to exercise all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. If the Borrower fails to pay the Default Amount within five (5) business days of written notice that such amount is due and payable, then the Holder shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower remains in default (and so long and to the extent that there are sufficient authorized shares), to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of the Default Amount, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Borrower equal to the Default Amount divided by the Conversion Price then in effect.

 

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privileges. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer severally (and not jointly) hereby agree as follows:

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.

 

2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is purchasing the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note (such shares of Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Note, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act.

 

b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).

 

c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 

d. Information. The Company has not disclosed to the Buyer any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Buyer.

 

e. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act; or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

 
1

 

 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

h. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agrees that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.

5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement. If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s transfer agent, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at such location as may be agreed to by the parties.

 

2. Buyer’s Representations and Warranties. The Buyer represents and warrants to the Company that:

 

a. Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is purchasing the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note (such shares of Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion Shares” and, collectively with the Note, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act.

 

b. Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).

 

c. Reliance on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 

d. Information. The Company has not disclosed to the Buyer any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Buyer.

 

e. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act; or may be sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

 
1

 

 

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR (2) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER’S TRANSFER AGENT, THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS."

 

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, at the Deadline, it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not being conducted, and shall not be conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity. “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection herewith.

Upon written request the Company will deliver to the Buyer true and complete copies of the SEC Documents, except for such exhibits and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates or if amended, as of the dates of the amendments, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof). As of their respective dates or if amended, as of the dates of the amendments, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

 

g. Absence of Certain Changes. Since March 31, 2021, except as set forth in the SEC Documents, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or 1934 Act reporting status of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

 

i. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer. The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any shareholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.

 

j. No Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

4. COVENANTS.

 

a. Best Efforts. The Company shall use its best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 7 of this Agreement.

f. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an event of default under Section 3.4 of the Note.

 

g. Failure to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

 

h. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agrees that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.

 

i. The Buyer is Not a “Dealer”. The Buyer and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Buyer has not: (i) acted as an underwriter; (ii) acted as a market maker or specialist; (iii) acted as “de facto” market maker; or (iv) conducted any other professional market activities such as providing investment advice, extending credit and lending securities in connection; and thus that the Buyer is not a “Dealer” as such term is defined in the 1934 Act.

 

5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount as such term is defined in the Note) signed by the successor transfer agent to Company and the Company. Prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(e) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing)(electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and/or this Agreement. If the Buyer provides the Company and the Company’s transfer agent, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
