(FORMERLY
ENERGY PRODUCERS, INC.)
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
PRINCIPLES
EGPI
Firecreek, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in
October 1995. Effective October 13, 2004, the Company, previously known as
Energy Producers Inc., changed its name to EGPI Firecreek, Inc.
The
Company is a 50% non controlling owner of three gas wells in Sweetwater County,
Wyoming, and owns other controlling oil and gas interests located in Knox and
Ward Counties, Texas.
In
December 2006, the Company increased its authorized common stock to
1,320,000,000 shares with par value of $.001. Twenty million of these shares
are
non-voting.
Consolidation-
the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Firecreek Petroleum, Inc. All
significant inter-company balances have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates-
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make reasonable estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities
and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and
for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
Revenue
and Cost Recognition- Revenue
is recognized from oil and gas sales at such time as the oil and gas is
delivered to the buyer.
For
its
producing activities, the Company uses successful efforts costing.
Properties
and Equipment-The
Company uses the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas
producing activities. Under this method, acquisition costs for proved and
unproved properties are capitalized when incurred. Exploration costs, including
geological and geophysical costs, the costs of carrying and retaining unproved
properties and exploratory dry hole drilling costs, are expensed. Development
costs, including the costs to drill and equip development wells, and successful
exploratory drilling costs to locate proved reserves are capitalized.
Exploratory
drilling costs are capitalized when incurred pending the determination of
whether a well has found proved reserves. A determination of whether a well
has
found proved reserves is made shortly after drilling is completed. The
determination is based on a process which relies on interpretations of available
geologic, geophysic, and engineering data. If a well is determined to be
successful, the capitalized drilling costs will be reclassified as part of
the
cost of the well. If a well is determined to be unsuccessful, the capitalized
drilling costs will be charged to expense in the period the determination is
made. If an exploratory well requires a major capital expenditure before
production can begin, the cost of drilling the exploratory well will continue
to
be carried as an asset pending determination of whether proved reserves have
been found only as long as: i) the well has found a sufficient quantity of
reserves to justify its completion as a producing well if the required capital
expenditure is made and ii) drilling of the additional exploratory wells is
under way or firmly planned for the near future. If drilling in the area is
not
under way or firmly planned, or if the well has not found a commercially
producible quantity of reserves, the exploratory well is assumed to be impaired,
and its costs are charged to expense.
In
the
absence of a determination as to whether the reserves that have been found
can
be classified as proved, the costs of drilling such an exploratory well is
not
carried as an asset for more than one year following completion of drilling.
If,
after that year has passed, a determination that proved reserves exist cannot
be
made, the well is assumed to be impaired, and its costs are charged to expense.
Its costs can, however, continue to be capitalized if a sufficient quantity
of
reserves is discovered in the well to justify its completion as a producing
well
and sufficient progress is made in assessing the reserves and the well’s
economic and operating feasibility.
The
impairment of unamortized capital costs is measured at a lease level and is
reduced to fair value if it is determined that the sum of expected future net
cash flows is less than the net book value. The Company determines if impairment
has occurred through either adverse changes or as a result of the annual review
of all fields. During 2008 and 2007, the Company did not record any
impairment.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND JUNE 30, 2007
1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
(CONTINUED)
Development
costs of proved oil and gas properties, including estimated dismantlement,
restoration and abandonment costs and acquisition costs, are depreciated and
depleted on a field basis by the units-of-production method using proved
developed and proved reserves, respectively. The costs of unproved oil and
gas
properties are generally combined and impaired over a period that is based
on
the average holding period for such properties and the Company's experience
of
successful drilling.
Costs
of
retired, sold or abandoned properties that make up a part of an amortization
base (partial field) are charged to accumulated depreciation, depletion and
amortization if the units-of-production rate is not significantly affected.
Accordingly, a gain or loss, if any, is recognized only when a group of proved
properties (entire field) that make up the amortization base has been retired,
abandoned or sold.
Cash-
For the
purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash balances
and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturity dates of three
months or less.
Deferred
costs- Deferred
costs are the costs of obtaining the equity line of credit discussed in Note
10
and are amortized over the life of the loan.
Long
Lived Assets-
The
Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not
be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition is less than its carrying amount.
Income
taxes- The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109), "Accounting
for Income Taxes".
SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement
and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the
period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
2.
GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been presented
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals, which assume the
continuity of the Company as a going concern. However, during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated
no material revenues and has relied on borrowings and the issuance of common
and
preferred stock to raise money for its business operations and plans. This
situation raises the doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern
Management’s
plans with regard to this matter are as follows:
·
|
Raise
interim and long term finance in addition to its present equity line
to
assist expansion-development and acquisition programs for oil and
gas,
corporate operations, and for the purpose of building on the current
revenue base.
|
·
|
Obtain
asset based project finance or develop joint ventures to fund work
programs for oil and gas projects domestically and
overseas.
|
·
|
Pursue
formation of strategic alliances with more firmly established peer
groups
to assist acquisition activities.
|
·
|
Initiate
search for experienced oil and gas personnel to add to our
staff.

Net Loss per Share
The
Company applies SFAS No. 128, Earnings
per Share to
compute net loss per share.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, basic net loss per share has been computed based
on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted
net loss per share gives the effect of outstanding common stock equivalents
in
the form of warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debentures.
The
effects on net loss per share of the common stock equivalents, however, are
not
included in the calculation of net loss per share since their inclusion would
be
anti-dilutive.
Net
loss
per common share has been computed as follows:

RESTATEMENT
During
2007, the Company discovered errors made in its financial statements. The
Company adjusted subsequent period financial statements to reflect the
following:
Balance
Sheet Restatements:
Equity
Line Notes Payable:
The
equity line notes payable were issued with incentive debentures attached to
the
host contract. In accordance with EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133, the derivative
liabilities were bifurcated from the host contract at fair market value.
The corresponding debt discount is amortized over the life of the equity
line note payable to interest expense on the statements of operations. As
of June 30, 2007, the debt discount associated with the issuance of the
incentive debenture and the embedded conversion feature within the incentive
debenture were $320,257..
Convertible
Debenture:
The
incentive convertible debentures attached to the equity line notes payable
were
bifurcated at fair market value as of the issuance date. In accordance
with SFAS 133, these debentures are marked to market at each balance sheet
date.
As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the incentive debentures were
$392,229.
Derivative
Liability:
The
Company identified conversion features embedded within the incentive debentures.
In accordance with SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, these conversion features were
bifurcated from the incentive debentures and recorded at fair market value
as of
the issuance date. In accordance with SFAS 133, the conversion features
are marked to market at each balance sheet date, with the corresponding gain
or
loss recorded in the statements of operations. As of June 30, 2007, the
fair value of the conversion features are $1,353,996.
The
fair
value of the conversion options are estimated at each balance sheet date
utilizing the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model utilizing the following

Additional
Paid in Capital and Other Comprehensive Income
The
Company previously misapplied the guidance of EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133 and
bifurcated the incentive debentures from the host contract at intrinsic value
to
paid in capital and other comprehensive income. The application was
reversed and the Company correctly applied the accounting guidance as set forth
in EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133. The change resulted in a ($1,563,039) decrease
to paid in capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

RESTATEMENT (CONTINUED)
Statements
of Operations Restatements:
General
and Administrative:
The
Company previously recorded the face amount of the incentive debentures to
general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
These incentives debentures were reclassified to at fair market value as a
debt discount to the equity credit line. The change resulted in a decrease
of
$159,125 to general and administrative expenses during the quarter ended June
30, 2007.
Interest
Expense:
The
Company previously misapplied the guidance of EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133. The
Company re-evaluated the application and recorded the incentive debentures
and
the conversion features at fair market value to debt discount. The debt
discount will be amortized over the life of the equity credit line to interest
expense. This change resulted in a $373,912 increase to interest expense
during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Gain
on
Derivative Liability:
The
Company accounted for the incentive debentures and conversion features utilizing
the accounting guidance in EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133. Both the incentive
debentures and the conversion features were recorded at the fair market value
on
the date of issuance, and are marked to market on each balance sheet date.
The Company realized a gain on derivative liability in the amount of
$36,261 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

ITEM
2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
You
should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-KSB, and Form 10-Q, as amended,
and
the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q
Report.
The
information set forth in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including,
among others (i) expected changes in the Company’s revenues and profitability,
(ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) the Company’s strategy for
financing its business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than
historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking
statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”,
“intends” or “expects”. These forward-looking statements relate to the plans,
objectives and expectations of the Company for future operations. Although
the
Company believes that its expectations with respect to the forward-looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its
knowledge of its business and operations, in light of the risks and
uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of
forward-looking statements in this report should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans
of the Company will be achieved. In light of these risks and uncertainties,
there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements
of
the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance
or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The
foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive.
The
Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly the results of any future
revisions it may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
Overview
The
Company is currently focused on oil and gas activities for development of
interests acquired in Knox and Ward Counties, Texas and Sweetwater County,
Wyoming for the production of oil and natural gas. During 2007 we limited and
wound down the pursuit of and potential completion of projects overseas in
Central Asian and European countries, but reserve the right to re-enter these
activities at a future date.
The
Company has been making presentations to asset-based lenders and other financial
institutions for the purpose of expanding and supporting our growth potential
by
development of our oil and gas operations in 2008 with a goal to increase our
revenue base and cash flow; however, the Company makes no guarantees and can
provide no assurances that it will be successful in these endeavors.
One
of
the ways our plans for growth could be altered if current opportunities now
available become unavailable:
The
Company would need to identify, locate, or address replacing current potential
acquisitions or strategic alliances with new prospects or initiate other
existing available projects that may have been planned for later stages of
growth and the Company may therefore not be ready to activate. This process
can
place a strain on the Company. New acquisitions, business opportunities, and
alliances, take time for review, analysis, inspections and negotiations. The
time taken in the review activities is an unknown factor, including the business
structuring of the project and related specific due diligence
factors.
General
The
Company historically derived its revenues primarily from retail sales of oil
and
gas field inventory equipment, service, and supply items primarily in the
southern Arkansas area, and from acquired interests owned in revenue producing
oil wells, leases, and equipment located in Olney, Young County, Texas. The
Company disposed of these two segments of operations in 2003. The Company
acquired a marine vessel sales brokerage and charter business, International
Yacht Sales Group, Ltd. of Great Britain in December 2003 later disposing of
its
operations in late 2005. We accounted for the segments as discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the related fiscal
year.
17
Effective
July 1, 2004, we acquired Firecreek Petroleum, Inc., and its subsidiary
Firecreek Romania, SRL. Firecreek was focused on exploration and development
specializing in the niche market of rehabilitation and enhancement of existing
oilfields through modern management and state of the art technological
applications internationally. Throughout 2004 and 2005, the Firecreek unit
developed relationships, pursued and prepared for potential acquisitions in
Romania and Libya, and through its strategic alliances developed other potential
projects for acquisition located in Russia, Romania, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and
Turkey. Firecreek’s business was subsequently restructured in the first quarter
of 2006. This process undertook closing our Firecreek subsidiary Ft. Worth
Texas
offices, eliminating or lowering many expenses including employees, consultants,
telephones, long distance, cellular fees, travel, office supplies, data fees,
and other. Books, accounting records and data were transferred to the Parent
offices located in Scottsdale Arizona. The restructuring helped to decrease
overall operating losses for the year 2006, and also to a lesser extent
conserved existing cash flows. Through 2007 and first quarter 2008, Firecreek
has focused primarily on development of U.S. based domestic oil and gas
operations in Texas and Wyoming.
Effective
November 15, 2005, Firecreek purchased a 50% undivided working interest in
leases, wells, equipment, gas and to a lesser extent oil reserves, and other
rights, located in Green River Basin, Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The project
is
listed under the prospect name “Ten Mile Draw” (“TMD”). Through our operator
Newport Oil Corporation (“Newport”) having completed a successful workover
program we commenced with gas production from two wells, the 16-1 and 7-16,
in
the first and second quarters of 2006, and subsequently began a workover program
for a third well, the 13-9, in July of 2006 thereof. Historically, the Company
has encountered and reported several technical issues to date with the 13-9
well, and bringing the well online to satisfactory commercial production levels.
Depending on the results for bringing this well on line, the Company may
ultimately elect to shut the well if reasonable commercial production levels
are
not achieved in a reasonable amount of time or approximately 90 days from the
date of this report. Depending on the economics in the Wyoming area and other
factors, the Company continues to contemplate one or more additional drilling
programs for future development in the TMD, or sale of the asset.
Effective
July 1, 2007, Firecreek purchased a 100% working interest and related 75% net
revenue interest in leases, wells, equipment, and oil reserves located in Knox
County, Texas. The project is listed as the Fant Ranch Unit. Through our
operator Success Oil Co. Inc., we took over operations, commenced with oil
production in the third and fourth quarter of 2007, and implemented a phase
one
program to rehabilitate and bring two additional wells on line in the Fant
Unit.
The Company, subsequent to December 31, 2007 has commenced with enhancement
and
rehabilitation for the majority of the producing wells in the Fant Unit which
the Company believes will improve and stabilize mechanical aspects and
performance levels for the wells, equipment, and overall production. For
additional information please see our Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16,
2007
incorporated herein by reference.
On
August
3, 2007, the Company through its Firecreek unit concluded a transaction for
the
sale of rights and opportunities for development works and projects located
in
the Ukraine. Through the agreement the purchaser acquired the rights to acquire
licenses, permits and permissions to explore for and extract oil, natural gas
or
other natural resources on the territories referenced in the agreement. For
additional information please see information and exhibits to a Report on Form
8-K filed on August 13, 2007, incorporated herein by reference. Please also
see
Item 1, Legal Proceedings in this report for updated status.
In
January, 2008, Firecreek commenced with an enhancement/rehabilitation phase
2
program for the Fant Ranch Unit located in Knox County, Texas. The program
included cleaning out casing perforations, maintenance, paraffin removal, repair
and acid stimulation for a majority of the oil wells in the unit. The purpose
of
the program has been to maintain the existing wells regularly, and to increase
the overall well efficiency and production for the field. The Company has
received indications from its operator that the program has been successful.
In
January, 2008, Firecreek entered into an Assignment and Bill of Sale (the
“Assignment”) with Success Oil Co., Inc. (“SOC”) relating to the purchase and
sale of 75% working interests along with 56.25% corresponding net revenue in
certain 40 acre tract of land and leases (the “North 40”), with and including a
first right for an additional 40 acre lease (the “South 40”), located in Ward
County, Texas, more commonly known as the J.B. Tubb leasehold estate (the “Tubb
Lease”). The Company participated in a workover, drilling and development
program, and has recently brought three wells online as a result. The Company
paid $1,400,000 for the lease, equipment and a Participation Agreement which
provided for turnkey drilling, re-entry, and included multiple wells on the
North 40 Acres. Firecreek has subsequently acquired assignment of one Lower
Clearfork formation in the Highland 2 Wellbore which is located on the South
40
of the J.B. Tubb Leasehold Estate (also see information contained in Current
Report on Form 8-K/A filed on April 30, 2008). The Tubb Lease workover, drilling
and development programs, have recently brought three wells online as a result,
with two of the three wells effectively producing and selling oil and gas at
the
date of this report. For further information please see our Current Report
on
Form 8-K, as amended, originally filed on January 9, 2008, and amended and
filed
on April 30, 2008, incorporated herein by reference.
18
The
Company expects to incur an increase in operating expenses during the next
year
from commencing activities related to its plans for the Company and Firecreek
oil and gas operations. The amount of net losses and the time required for
the
Company to reach and maintain profitability are uncertain at this time. There
is
a likelihood that the Company will encounter difficulties and delays encountered
with business subsidiary operations, including, but not limited to uncertainty
as to development and the time and timing required for the Company’s plans to be
fully implemented, governmental regulatory responses to the Company’s plans,
fluctuating markets and corresponding spikes, or dips in our products demand,
currency exchange rates between countries, acquisition and development pricing,
related costs, expenses, offsets, increases, and adjustments. There can be
no
assurance that the Company will ever generate significant revenues or achieve
profitability at all or on any substantial basis.
General
Statement: Factors that may affect future results:
With
the
exception of historical information, the matters discussed in Management’s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contain forward looking statements
under the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act that involve various
risks and uncertainties. Typically, these statements are indicated by
words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “believes”, “plans”, “could”, and
similar words and phrases. Factors that could cause the company’s actual
results to differ materially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates
and expectations include but are not limited to the following:
– Inability
of the company to secure additional financing.
– Unexpected
economic changes in the United States.
– The
imposition of new restrictions or regulations by government agencies that affect
the Company’s business activities.
To
the
extent possible, the following discussion will highlight the Company’s business
activities for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
I.

for
the same six month period of 2007. Revenues
for the first six months of 2008 increased approximately 1024% over the
comparative six month period. Revenues were attributed to i) producing
oil wells on the Company’s Fant Ranch Unit interests located in Knox County,
Benjamin, Texas, ii) recently acquired oil and gas interests, including re
entry
and workover programs, known as the J.B. Tubb Leasehold Estate located in the
Amoco Crawar Field, Ward County, Texas, and iii) natural gas production located
in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, known as the Ten Mile Draw project. Operating
costs were $522,819 in the for the first six months of 2008 compared to $86,018

General
and administrative expense for the first six months of operations in 2008
decreased to $645,788 from $658,646 in the first six months of 2007. The
decrease was attributed to a decrease in well enhancement/rehabilitation costs
for wells in the Fant Ranch Unit.

decrease in well enhancement/rehabilitation costs for wells in the Fant Ranch
Unit.
Interest
expense decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $231,539 compared
to $602,847 for the same period in 2007. The decrease of interest was due

month period ended June 30, 2008 from $11,552 for the comparative three month
