Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Black Bird Biotech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Nature of Operations
The Company is the exclusive worldwide manufacturer and distributor for MiteXstreamTM, an EPA-certified plant-based biopesticide effective in the eradication of mites and other similar pests, including spider mites, that destroy crops, particularly cannabis, hops, coffee and house plants, as well as molds and mildew.
The Company also manufactures and sells, under its Grizzly Creek NaturalsTM brand name, CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, as well as CBD-infused personal care products.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND GOING CONCERN
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company had a working capital deficit of $726,463 at December 31, 2022. 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 2022. Additionally, the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of the Company’s researching for new markets. The Company plans to continue financing its operations with cash received from financing activities, more specifically from related party loans.
While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or if additional capital is needed, that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
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 December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires the measurement of deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards, and of deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences. Measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not included in the measurement. The Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events and transactions that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company currently has substantial net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has recorded a 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, outstanding options and warrants, if any, 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, 2022 and 2021, there were potential 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.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished goods. The inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market which approximates first-in, first-out (FIFO).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from 3-5 years.
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition
Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for expected losses. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there is $-0- and $-0- recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts. Revenue is recognized at the point of invoicing for sales of inventory.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan using the straight-line method which approximates the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2022, there were $142,190 in unamortized loan fees.
Convertible Notes
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments, and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately. In connection with the convertible debt agreements, the Company issued shares of common stock and common stock warrants. The Company has allocated the net proceeds from the debt agreements to the estimated fair value of these equity-linked instruments, which is recorded as a discount to the related debt balances. The Company amortizes the debt discount over the contractual maturity of the related debt agreements.
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 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 early adopted ASU 2020-06 for the year beginning January 1, 2021.
The Company has adopted 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 year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2021 the effect on EPS would be unchanged after the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
3. CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
During 2020 a strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported worldwide resulting in decreased economic activity and closures of businesses which has adversely affected the broader global economy. The virus has continued to affect the economy through 2022. The Company is taking all necessary steps to keep its business premises in a safe environment and is constantly monitoring the impact of COVID-19. At this time, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact the economy and the Company is uncertain. Pandemics or other significant public heath events could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the results of its operations in the future.
4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business the Company maintains cash with a Federally-insured financial institution. Individual account balance may occasionally exceed the Federally-insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced and does not anticipate any losses as a result of any account balances exceeding the Federally-insured limits.
5. AMENDMENTS OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
Certificates of Amendment
In January 2020, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its corporate name to “Black Bird Potentials Inc.” and submitted such filing to FINRA for approval thereof. FINRA did not approve such filing, due to an extended passage of time from the Company’s initial filing and its being late in filing certain periodic reports.
In April 2021, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its corporate name to “Black Bird Biotech, Inc.”
In February 2021, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of its common stock to 325,000,000 shares.

Reg A #1. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold (a) a total of 4,875,000 shares of its common stock for a total of $195,000, or $0.04 per share, in cash, and (b) a total of 4,687,500 shares of its common stock for a total of $150,000, or $0.032 per share, in cash, under the Reg A #1.
Reg A #2. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold a total of 93,033,333 shares of its common stock for a total of $1,395,500, or $0.015 per share, in cash under the Reg A #2.
19. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2019, through December 31, 2021, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, as of December 31, 2022.
No provision was made for federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2022, since the Company had net operating losses.
The Company has available net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5,468,000 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, 2022 and 2021.
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.
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |

Net operating loss carryforwards | | $ | 1,146,386 | | | $ | 798,046 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (1,146,386 | ) | | | (798,046 | ) |

20. LEASING COMMITMENTS

21. EQUITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT
In December 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Agreement”), together with a registration rights agreement, with Mast Hill Fund, L.P. (“Mast Hill”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Mast Hill up to $5,000,000 in shares of Company common stock, subject to certain limitations. Mast Hill was also issued a five-year warrant to purchase 170,000,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share with standard anti-dilution provisions and cashless exercise. For the 170,000,000 stock warrants issued, the Company used the Black Scholes Pricing Model to determine the fair value. The fair value for the stock warrants was $76,293, which was recorded as deferred offering costs.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Equity Agreement, Mast Hill is obligated to purchase up to $5,000,000 in shares of Company common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24-month period commencing on the date of the Equity Agreement. The price per share of Company common stock shall be ninety percent (90%) of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices of the common stock for seven trading days following the clearing date associated with the put notice delivered by the Company to Mast Hill. The minimum amount of each put shall be $20,000 and the maximum shall be the lower of 150% of the average daily trading volume and $500,000.
The Company’s sales of shares of Company common stock to Mast Hill under the Equity Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by Mast Hill and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of Company common stock.
The Company agreed with Mast Hill that it will not enter into any other credit equity line agreements without the prior consent of Mast Hill.
Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to the shares of Company common stock issuable to Mast Hill in connection with the Equity Agreement.
