Digital Bridge Inc. (OTCBB: DGBI) is a fully reporting OTCBB company. DGBI is likely to gain attention in the marketplace mainly due to its “Tantivity Sciences” subsidiary’s development of nutraceutical products. These products are gaining market share and increased acceptance in the public as well as among health care professionals.
Essentially, Digital Bridge, Inc is an “International Business Architect," that acquires, manages, and maximizes undervalued assets throughout the world, and generates opportunities and profits by leveraging those assets in creative ways. The company provides management, sales, distribution, marketing, and Internet enterprise solutions to a wide range of clients and partners in many different industries.
The Company operates its business through four separate but complimentary subsidiaries:
Tantivy Entertainment
Tantivy Sciences
Tantivy Technologies
OTVnet, Inc.
These subsidiaries are in industries as diverse as entertainment, nutritional supplements, and Internet technology. This model helps to ensure steady overall growth by spreading risk over several different market sectors.
Digital Bridge Subsidiaries:
Starting with one of the most exciting businesses that Digital Bridge has under its umbrella, is Tantivy Sciences which is a comprehensive nutraceutical and pharmaceutical development, distribution and management company that manufactures and distributes ground-breaking nutraceutical products through retail, wholesale, direct marketing, and online channels, and also offers a beginning-to-end manufacturing and distribution solution to physicians and other scientists who have developed new and unique health-related nutritional products.
The Company’s goal is to control the entire nutraceutical supply and distribution chain, from licensing and developing unique products, many of which have pharmaceutical potential, to manufacturing those products at our own facility, to distributing those products through the Company’s own retail outlets and marketing organizations. The Company is also fostering the further development of select nutraceutical products into fully functional pharmaceuticals.
The Company distributes a line of patented and proprietary nutritional supplement blends, including the C-Med-100® supplement, a patented formula and the only product of its kind that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration allows to claim assistance in the natural DNA repair process; VasoDerm, a powerful vasodilation product that increases blood flow, eliminates wrinkles, and restores a more youthful appearance; and Nutra Smokeless, an amazing supplement designed to reduce nicotine cravings and the amount of cigarettes smoked, and thus assist in the quitting process. These products are all natural, drug free alternatives to other diet aids and smoking cessation products that contain dangerous, addictive drugs and stimulants. These products, known as “nutraceuticals,” are part of a burgeoning $49 billion market in which product demand has been consistently outpacing supply. No other company in this industry can lay claim to such a powerful and effective product line, comprised of proprietary nutritional formulas designed by respected physicians and genetic scientists, and backed by years of rigorous scientific research and clinical studies.
No other company in this industry can lay claim to such a powerful and effective product line, comprised of patented formulas designed by respected physicians and genetic scientists, and backed by years of rigorous scientific research and clinical studies.
Another DGBI subsidiary is Tantivy Entertainment. Tantivy Entertainment is an innovative music production and distribution company designed to capitalize on significant opportunities in the recording industry. Tantivy Entertainment produces, markets, and distributes the work of nationally-recognized musical artists, distributing both original and live recordings, as well as concept-oriented product. The company is also in the business of purchasing and distributing existing classic rock, jazz, and big band music catalogs and other entertainment assets, such as DVD’s of live performances, including performances at the Company’s proprietary Branded Venues.
Tantivy Entertainment uses its proprietary Branded Venues to serve and promote musical artists throughout the world, and the Company also acquires, packages, and distributes select musical works from its growing catalog of established intellectual properties.
Through its extensive entertainment industry networks, the Company:
Works with accomplished musical artists through proprietary Branded Venues, through which we distribute our series of “Live At…” Compact Discs, which feature major nationwide acts such as Willie Nelson, Todd Rundgren, Art Garfunkel, Air Supply, The Righteous Brothers, and others.
Acquires the rights to undervalued music catalogs, such as classic rock and big bands from the 40s’ like Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey.
Produces and distributes music CD’s and videos for select artists, such as The Boy’s Choir of Harlem.
Enters into nationwide distribution deals with major record labels.
Tantivy’s music distribution business is split into two divisions: Catalog and New Talent.
The Catalog Division is responsible for obtaining exclusive rights to pre-existing musical recordings and classic music catalogs, and for creating new compilations for distribution. Classic selections from artists and groups from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, such as Fats Domino, The Platters, Boston, and The Cars will frequently be added to Tantivy Entertainment’s Catalog.
The Catalog Division frequently dips into the Catalog to create and distribute new compilations, such as “The Greatest Hits of Molly Hatchet” and “Great 60’s Lounge Music”. Tantivy Entertainment has established relationships with major retail distributors throughout North America, such as Best Buy, Sam Goody, Tower Records, and The Wherehouse, and distributes product through these stores
The New Talent division assists with the creation of a master CD for one of Tantivy’s independent artist partners, and, when appropriate, approaches major record labels for a joint promotional agreement. Without major record label assistance, Tantivy reaps approximately $7-$8 in profit per each CD sold, with the rest going towards overhead and, of course, to the Artist. With major label assistance, Tantivy’s profit is reduced to $4 - $5 per CD, but the potential distribution is considerably greater.
Yet another DGBI subsidiary is Tantivy Technologies. Tantivy Technologies is the Company’s product development division, focusing on the design and development of highly advanced and innovative Internet business solutions. These solutions allow Tantivy Group clients, partners, and subsidiaries to leverage the Internet as a new market for their products and services, and as a tool to streamline their operations.
Tantivy Technologies develops new software applications, which it incorporates into products sold by other Tantivy Group subsidiaries, or by outside clients. Tantivy Technologies also assists its customers in building and managing their own e-businesses, while retaining a significant equity percentage of its customers’ enterprise.
Tantivy Technologies has developed the following products:
The Remote Publishing System, a powerful software application that enables users with little or no technical skills to create and maintain dynamic web pages; Synergy N4, a software application that allows for the fast and easy creation of vibrant e-commerce sites; and
The SMARTsystem, a Scalable Management And Reciprocal Transfer application that provides an instant and secure corporate intranet- permitting the user to instantly transfer vital information, manage inventories, transfer funds, and administer a nationwide organization from any point around the globe.
The final subsidiary is OTVnet, Inc… Digital Bridge acquired OTVnet, Inc. in September, 2000. OTVnet is in the business of creating and selling powerful online administration and communication tools to labor unions and their associated benefits trust organizations. Established in 1997, the company has grown to become a leader in the provision of proprietary Internet communication tools for unions and their associated training and contractor organizations, and is aggressively marketing its innovative product line to this tightly-focused niche market.
Digital Bridge thus spreads risk across several different business models, while at the same time maximizing revenue potential by building long-term value through the development of proprietary technologies utilized in the businesses developed by the Company and its clients.

Summary:
Digital Bridge offers products and services in several different markets through its various subsidiaries, which renders it better able to…
Meet market demands,
Remain flexible to emerging opportunities,
Create a stronger and more diversified balance sheet, and
Efficiently fund research and development of scalable and profitable products.
The product side of the business is exemplified by Tantivy Entertainment and Tantivy Sciences.
Tantivy Entertainment was designed to develop and distribute musical product that appeals to the 35-50 year old age group (for which literally nothing has been written or performed for the past decade). This group is responsible for the rapid explosion of “Classic Rock” and “80’s” radio stations, and is always hungry for new releases from favorite artists.
Tantivy Sciences has also developed a unique and vital niche for itself, and distributes highly innovative and unique nutritional supplement products that appeal to a wide range of potential customers.
There are literally thousands of highly skilled and respected doctors, researchers, and nutritional specialists across the world that are developing—or have already developed— unique and truly efficacious nutritional products. These professionals are sound scientists, but they lack the manufacturing, development, and distribution expertise to bring their products to market, and also lack the funds necessary to bring promising products to the next level— a licensed pharmaceutical application.
Tantivy Sciences helps these professionals develop their products, and get them to market quickly and effectively. The Company also serves as a provider of research and development funds for nutraceutical products with promising pharmaceutical applications. Recently, nutraceutical companies have been getting increased attention in the marketplace. We expect DGBI to begin to see more attention through the nutraceutical angle.
The service side of our company is exemplified by Tantivy Technologies, which works on a small number of highly technical “hands on” projects that both provide cash flow and equity to the balance sheet. In developing technology solutions for these portfolio clients, Digital Bridge is creating intellectual properties whose full rights are retained by the Company, and can then be turned into market leading products. Finally, the various Digital Bridge divisions each have enormous potential within their respective markets. The Digital Bridge management team is experienced, flexible, and conservative, and knows how to maximize opportunities. The Company has assembled an amazing range of opportunities, and is poised to reap the advantages for the company and their shareholders.
