DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For example, statements included in this Annual Report regarding our financial position, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, and assumptions and predictions about future product demand, supply, manufacturing, costs, marketing and pricing factors are all forward-looking statements. When we use words like “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan” or “expect,” or other words of a similar import, we are making forward-looking statements. We believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, based upon information available to us on the date hereof (but excluding the impact of COVID-19), but we cannot assure you that these assumptions and expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any action that we may presently be planning. We have disclosed certain important factors (e.g., see Item 1. Business—Preliminary Statements Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic and Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Effects of COVID-19) that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations elsewhere in this Annual Report. You should understand that forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report are necessarily qualified by these factors. We are not undertaking to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement if we obtain new information or upon the occurrence of future events or otherwise.

PART I

Item 1. Business

In this Annual Report, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Black Bird Biotech, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“BB Potentials”), Big Sky American Dist., LLC, a Montana limited liability company (“Big Sky American”), and Black Bird Hemp Manager, LLC, a Montana limited liability company.

Preliminary Statements Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business, as well as to obtain needed inventory, due to supply chain delays. While these limitations have eased, we are unable to predict when such limitations will be entirely resolved.

Overall, our company is not of a size that required us to implement “company-wide” policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, our product manufacturing operations have experienced no negative consequences attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, inasmuch as these operations involve a limited number of persons.

For purposes of the discussion below, except where otherwise indicated, the descriptions of our business, our strategies, our risk factors and any other forward-looking statements, including regarding us, our business and the market generally, do not reflect the 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. (BB Potentials), our company emerged from its long-standing status as a “shell company.” Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of BB Potentials and our company’s ongoing operations now include those of BB Potentials.

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.

Our principal executive office is located at 3505 Yucca Drive, Suite 104, Flower Mound, Texas 75028; our telephone number is 833-223-4204; our corporate website is located at: www.blackbirdbiotech.com. No information found on our company’s website is part of this Annual Report.

Recent Developments

Spire+.In March 2022, our company launched the first major initiative in marketing our MiteXstream biopesticide on a national basis, when we entered into a consulting agreement with Spire+, a Cornelius, North Carolina-based leading sales and marketing agency that specializes in brand building, marketing, communications and business development. Spire+ has begun work to implement a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. Spire+, an affiliate of Spire Sports + Entertainment, LLC, has a long history of building and executing successful sales and marketing programs for brands, such as Toyota, 5-hour ENERGY, Auto-Owners Insurance, ENEOS Motor Oil, Petro-Canada, STP and Parker Hannifin.

New Sales Executive Officer. Following our executing the agreement with Spire+, in April 2022, we hired William J. LoBell to serve as our Executive Vice President of Sales and Development. In addition to working directly with Spire+ to expand sales of MiteXstream, Mr. LoBell seeks to establish additional sales channels for the biopesticide product. (See Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance).

Business Overview

MiteXstream.MiteXstream. 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.

CBD and Other Products.Products. Through BB Potentials, we manufacture and sell CBD products, including CBD Oils, gummies and pet treats, and CBD-infused personal care products, under the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name. Big Sky American currently distributes an array of consumer products, including the Grizzly Creek Naturals products, to retail locations in Western Montana.

MiteXstream

Worldwide Exclusivity.Exclusivity. At the present time, our future success is primarily dependent upon our ability to achieve market penetration of MiteXstream.

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 our company’s rights with respect to MiteXstream. The New MiteXstream Agreement contains the following important provisions as compared to the Original MiteXstream Agreement:

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

Approval as Biopesticide.Biopesticide. Effective December 16, 2020, MiteXstream was approved as a biopesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Reg. No. 95366-1). MiteXstream has been approved for sale in 44 states, with applications pending in the remaining states, except for California, the application for which is in the final stage of preparation. 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.Distribution.

Online. We sell MiteXstream directly to customers though our website, MiteXstream.com. Our marketing efforts during the remainder of 2022 will be centered around driving customer traffic to the website for purchases MiteXstream, as well as to our Amazon page. Spire+ is focused on these efforts.

Spire+. In March 2022, our company launched the first major initiative in marketing our MiteXstream biopesticide on a national basis, when we entered into a consulting agreement with Spire+, a Cornelius, North Carolina-based leading sales and marketing agency that specializes in brand building, marketing, communications and business development. Spire+ has begun work to implement a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. Spire+, an affiliate of Spire Sports + Entertainment, LLC, has a long history of building and executing successful sales and marketing programs for brands, such as Toyota, 5-hour ENERGY, Auto-Owners Insurance, ENEOS Motor Oil, Petro-Canada, STP and Parker Hannifin.

New Sales Executive Officer. Following our executing the agreement with Spire+, in April 2022, we hired William J. LoBell to serve as our Executive Vice President of Sales and Development. In addition to working directly with Spire+ to expand sales of MiteXstream, Mr. LoBell seeks to establish additional sales channels for the biopesticide product. (See Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance).

Other Opportunities. 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. One of our Directors, Jack Jie Qin, facilitated the signing of the IFC Agreement. As of the date of this Annual Report, IFC has not made a sale of MiteXstream.

The Genesis of MiteXstream.MiteXstream. 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 a cannabis-industry-wide issue. In fact, all types of mites and similar pests are a significant pest in the production of a wide array of agricultural crops worldwide, including coffee, hops and strawberries, among other agricultural crops.

Product Effectiveness and Independent Testing.Testing. In original testing done by our company, we determined that, when mixed with water at the prescribed dilution rate, MiteXstream is effective in eliminating mites, including spider mites, and similar pests and their eggs, with no risk of plant damage. Additionally, MiteXstream eliminates molds and mildews on all types of plants.

Honey Bee Testing - Contact Toxicity and Oral Toxicity. Independent lab testing has proven MiteXstream^TM to be “NOT TOXIC” to honey bees when contacted topically or when ingested.

BRIM Efficacy Testing. In February 2022, British Columbia, Canada-based laboratory Botanical Research in Motion (BRIM) published its Efficacy Testing Report on MiteXstream. The BRIM Report was authored by Dr. Fawzia Afreen, who, in addition to holding three international patents, publishing over 40 articles in peer-reviewed international journals and publishing two books, possesses nearly 20 years of experience in plant horticulture, plant tissue culture and plant production.

The BRIM Report, entitled “MiteXstream - a new, safe, environmentally friendly and the most effective biopesticide for controlling pests in Cannabis,” details the extensive testing procedures undertaken and ends with the following summary assessment:

“To summarize, the major findings of the study are: MiteXstream biopesticide can be a safe alternative of chemical pesticides and to achieve the maximum benefit the use of full-strength full strength concentration without any addition of surfactant is recommended. It can effectively control or eradicate the spider mites and powdery mildew as well as work as a preventative measure when applied at the appropriate dose, time, and stage. The use of MiteXstream is not limited to Cannabis it can be used to control pest infestation in a wide range of plants.”

Cannabis-Specific Independent Lab Testing. Based on independent lab testing, users of MiteXstream are able to treat their cannabis (marijuana) plants through the day of harvest and still satisfy state-level pesticide testing standards.

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.

Montana Pesticide Testing Standard

Oregon Pesticide Testing Standard

* Noted in the report of Stillwater Labs as possible ambient environmental contamination.

Competition.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.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 and Other Products

CBD Products.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. Our line of Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD products are currently manufactured by BB Potentials. The Grizzly Creek Naturals product line includes CBD Oils, CBD Body Butter, CBD Lip Balm, CBD Sports Roll-on and CBD Bath Bombs. In addition, we sell CBD gummies on a private-label basis.

Other Products.Products. Since Big Sky American started its distribution efforts, we have distributed a wide array of non-CBD consumer items to retail locations in Western Montana. These products include food items, clothing items and items associated with outdoor activities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we began the manufacture and sale of our Grizzly Creek Naturals hand sanitizer to distributors, directly to retail customers and directly to consumers through our website, after completed our FDA product listing in March 2020. We determined recently to cease the production of our hand sanitizer products.

Distribution.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 Big Sky American. Big Sky American currently distributes an array of consumer products, including the Grizzly Creek Naturals CBD 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.

Online. Our Grizzly Creek Naturals products are sold to consumers through our website, GrizzlyCreekNaturals.com.

Third-Party Distributors. In 2020, we entered into a letter agreement with Las Vegas, Nevada-based Hope Botanicals LLC (the “Hope Distributor”), with respect to its selling our products primarily in the Las Vegas area and the Hope Distributor continues to purchase small amounts of products from us.

Just as the shutdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic occurred in March 2020, we entered into a distribution agreement with Northland Partners, LLC (the “Tri-State Distributor”). Due to COVID-19-related restrictions, the Tri-State Distributor never was able to commence its efforts and our agreement has been abandoned.

Beginning in April 2020, we began to distribute our hand sanitizer products through Raghorn Wholesale, LLC (“Raghorn”), a Montana-based distributor of consumer products. In July 2020, we entered into a written distribution agreement with Raghorn and, for all of 2020, Raghorn was our largest customer, purchasing approximately $30,000 of our hand sanitizer products. During 2021, Raghorn did not purchase any products from us. Raghorn is the party from which Big Sky American purchased the distribution assets under the Big Sky APA.

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

Perceived Benefits of CBD.CBD. The recent 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:

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

Competition.Competition. The competition for customers in the CBD market 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.

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

Industrial Hemp-Related Activities

In 2020, we formed a division of our company that was to focus on industrial hemp-related business opportunities under the “Black Bird American Hemp” brand name. During 2020 and early 2021, Black Bird American Hemp sought to develop industrial hemp processing operations in the State of Montana. However, during 2021, our management determined that market conditions, especially as it relates to attracting investors, related to the industrial hemp industry had waned, and we suspended our industrial hemp activities for the foreseeable future.

During 2020 and 2021, BB Potentials was a licensed hemp grower in Montana under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program. BB Potentials did not grow commercial quantities of hemp during either year. No 2022 application for a license was submitted by BB Potentials.Potentials and we do not intend to submit and application during 2023.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market (OTC Link ATS)OTC PINK tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol “BBBT.” Over-the-Counter Market quotations reflectTrading in OTC PINK stocks can be volatile, sporadic and risky, as thinly traded stocks tend to move more rapidly in price than more liquid securities. Such trading may also depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their common stock.

The following table reflects the high and low closing price for our common stock for the periods indicated. The information was obtained from the OTC Markets Group, Inc. and reflects inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-downmarkdown or commissionscommission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

On April 12, 2022,March 7, 2023, the closing sale price on the OCT Pink marketplace forof our common stockCommon Stock was $0.011.$0.0006.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market 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 such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of April 14, 2022,March 7, 2023, we had 303,330,828479,970,663 outstanding shares of common stock and 77 shareholders of record.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, or Bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The payment of dividends on common stock is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend: (1) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (2) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We currently do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Effects of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic had a discernable short-term negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business, as well as to obtain needed inventory, due to supply chain delays. While these limitations have eased, we are unable to predict when such limitations will be entirely resolved.

Overall, our company is not of a size that required us to implement “company-wide” policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, our product manufacturing operations have experienced no negative consequences attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, inasmuch as these operations involve a limited number of persons.

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

Basis of Presentation

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section includes financial results of our company, Black Bird Biotech, Inc., including its subsidiaries, Black Bird Potentials Inc. (BB Potentials), Big Sky American Dist., LLC (Big Sky American) and Black Bird Hemp Manager, LLC, for the years ended December 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Cautionary Statement

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

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

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

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.Principle. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("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’sEntity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’sEntity'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, under the Grizzly Creek Naturals brand name. Big Sky American distributes our Grizzly Creek Naturals products, as well as an array of other consumer retail products, in Western Montana. In addition, for 2020 and 2021, BB Potentials was a licensed grower of industrial hemp under the Montana Hemp Pilot Program and, in connection therewith, established “Black Bird American Hemp” as the brand name under which these efforts were to be conducted. For the foreseeable future, we have suspended our hemp-related efforts.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

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

Recent DevelopmentsResults of Operations

Spire+. In MarchYears Ended December 31, 2022 our company launched the first major initiative in marketing our MiteXstream biopesticide on a national basis, when we entered into a consulting agreement with Spire+, a Cornelius, North Carolina-based leading sales(“Fiscal 2022”) and marketing agency that specializes in brand building, marketing, communications and business development. Spire+ has begun work to implement a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. Spire+, an affiliate of Spire Sports + Entertainment, LLC, has a long history of building and executing successful sales and marketing programs for brands, such as Toyota, 5-hour ENERGY, Auto-Owners Insurance, ENEOS Motor Oil, Petro-Canada, STP and Parker Hannifin.

New Sales Executive Officer. Following our executing the agreement with Spire+, in April2021 (“Fiscal 2021”). During Fiscal 2022, we hired William J. LoBell to serve as our Executive Vice President of Sales and Development. In addition to working directly with Spire+ to expandestablished a MiteXstream Store on Amazon.com, which accounted for approximately $3,500 in sales. While these sales demonstrated the economic viability of MiteXstream, Mr. LoBell seekssuch sales were not at a level that provided cash for use in our overall operations. During 2023, we intend to establish additionalincrease our Amazon-specific marketing, in an attempt to garner more sales channels for the biopesticide product. (See Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance).through our Amazon Store.

Results of Operations

Years Ended December 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”) and 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”).Our purchase of certain distribution-related assets in Fiscal 2021 pursuant to the Big Sky APA was made with an expectation that an immediately accessible larger number of retail locations would allow us to increase more quickly sales of our CBD products. Big Sky American, since beginning its consumer product distribution operations in Northwest Montana in April 2021, has had a positive impact on our Fiscal 2021 operating results, when compared to our prior operating results. However, ourthe anticipated increase in sales of our CBD products has not yet occurred. Rather, sales of non-CBD consumer products, in large measure, accounted for the overall increase in our product sales for Fiscal 2021. During Fiscal 2021, sales of MiteXstream were insignificant.

During Fiscal 2022, our business operations generated $82,563 in revenues from sales with a cost of goods sold of $49,551, resulting in a gross profit of $33,012. During Fiscal 2021, our business operations generated $104,458 in revenues from sales with a cost of goods sold of $84,871, resulting in a gross profit of $19,587. While we had a small level of sales of MiteXstream during 2022, the decline in our revenues from the year ended December 31, 2021, is attributable primarily to the significant drop in tourism in Western Montana during the summer of 2022, due to inflationary pressures that resulted an extreme increase in gas prices.

During Fiscal 2020, our business operations generated $57,6042022, we incurred operating expenses of $1,321,345, which were comprised of $231,630 in revenues with a cost of goods sold of $28,245,consulting services, $5,337 in website expenses, $43,247 in legal and professional services, $4,800 in rent, $234,519 in advertising and marketing expense and $673,621 in general and administrative expense, resulting in a gross profitnet operating loss of $29,359.$1,288,333. In addition, we incurred interest expense of $370,587, resulting in a net loss for Fiscal 2022 of $1,658,766.

During Fiscal 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $1,549,061,$1,470,714, which were comprised of $725,240 in consulting services ($573,348 of which was paid by the issuance of common stock), $12,328 in website expenses, $84,457 in legal and professional services, $10,320 in rent, $5,234 in advertising and marketing expense and $601,825$523,478 in general and administrative expense, resulting in a net operating loss of $1,529,474.$1,451,127. In addition, we incurred interest expense of $281,828,$285,327, resulting in a net loss for Fiscal 2021 of $1,811,302.

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 operating loss of $690,158. In addition, we incurred net other expense of $5,355, resulting in a net loss for Fiscal 2020 of $684,803.

We expect that our revenues will increase from quarter to quarter beginning with the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, as sales of MiteXstream and Grizzly Creek Naturals products are expected to increase from our recently-initiatedcontinuing marketing efforts. There is no assurance that such will be the case, and we expect to incur operating losses through at least December 31, 2022.2023. Further, because of our relative current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of MiteXstream, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

Further, because of our relative current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of MiteXstream and Grizzly Creek Naturals, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues. However, our management believes that MiteXstream will become the most dynamic, fastest growing part of our business.

Plans for 20222023

Substantially all of our available capital, financial and human, will be devoted to increasing sales of MiteXstream. Through our marketing consulting agreement with Spire+, we will implementare implementing a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for MiteXstream, including e-commerce, traditional retail and a category-specific distribution model. In addition, our internal efforts will be focused on developing sales channels outside the scope of the Spire+ efforts. There is no assurance that we will be successful in increasing sales of MiteXstream.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

December 31, 2021.2022.

The significant change in our working capital position from December 31, 2020,2021, to December 31, 2021,2022, is attributable primarily to $1,711,150our incurring $1,013,980 in proceeds from sales of our common stock in the Reg A #1debt and the Reg A #2 remaining after our repayment of $914,000$510,560 in debt, the payment of significantly increased marketing expenses and the payment of operating expenses.

Our company’s current cash position of approximately $30,000 is not adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the second quarter of 2023. 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.

Inflation

Our management believes economic conditions point toward continuing significant inflationary pressures arising infor the nearforeseeable future. However, no prediction can be made in this regard and, further, no prediction can be made with respect to how the potential impact any inflation would affect our future results of operations. However, during the summer of 2022, the sales of our Big Sky American subsidiary were impacted negatively by inflationary pressures that caused a significant reduction in tourism in Western Montana primarily attributable to a sharp increase in gas prices.

Seasonality

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

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective at December 31, 2021.2022.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

As an emerging growth company experiencing rapid growth, we have worked diligently to improve processes within our company, specifically including within our manufacturing environment, that increase risk related to transaction processing which can impact our financial reporting. We intend to implement a significant number of manual compensating controls to address this risk.

Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Our management, including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 2013 Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this Annual Report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report by our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that require our company to provide only our company’s management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions That Prevent Inspections
