NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada October 1995. Effective October
13, 2004 the Company, previously known as Energy Producers Inc., changed its
name to EGPI Firecreek, Inc.
Prior to
December 2008, the Company had interests in various gas & oil wells located
in the Wyoming and Texas area. In December 2008, the Company’s major creditor,
Dutchess Private Equities Ltd. (Dutchess), foreclosed on the assets of the
Company. As a result, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties
were transferred to Dutchess in satisfaction of debt owed. See financial
statement Note 9 for further discussion.
In
October 2008, the Company effected a 1 share for 200 shares reverse split of its
common stock. See financial statement Note 4 for a further
discussion.
In May
2009 the Company acquired M3 Lighting, Inc. (“M3”) as a wholly owned subsidiary
via reverse triangular merger. M3 is a distributor of commercial and decorative
lighting to the trade and direct to retailers. As part of the Merger the
Company effected a name change for its wholly owned subsidiary Malibu Holding,
Inc. to Energy Producers, Inc. (“EPI”) as a conduit for its oil and gas
activities.
Consolidation- the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. 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-
Revenues are recognized when all services have been performed and
collection of the revenues is assured.
Cash- For the purpose of
compiling the statement of changes in cash flows, cash includes all cash
balances and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturity dates
of three months or less.
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.
The
Company applied SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long Lived Assets, to account for the sale of the oil &
gas properties in December 2008 as more fully discussed in financial statement
note 9. Accordingly, the results of operations and cash flows from
these assets for both 2008 and 2007 are separately recorded in the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows as a discontinued
component.
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 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, in December 2008 all of the
producing assets of the Company were foreclosed on by Dutchess to pay down loans
owed. 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 to assist new M3 Lighting, Inc. and Energy
Producers, Inc. (oil and gas rehabilitation and development) subsidiary
acquisitions.
-Raise
6-12 months working capital for corporate operations.
-Pursue
asset based project finance or develop joint ventures to fund work programs for
oil and gas domestically.
-Pursue
formation of strategic alliances with more firmly established peer groups to
assist acquisition activities.
-Initiate
search for experienced personnel related to the M3 and oil and gas activities to
add to our staff.
3. NET
INCOME (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. Net
income (loss) per common share has been computed as follows:

ITEM
2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
You
should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K, 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 has been focused on oil and gas activities for development of interests
held that were acquired in Texas and Wyoming for the production of oil and
natural gas through December 2, 2008. The Company throughout 2008 was seeking to
continue expansion and growth for oil and gas development in its core projects.
EGPI Firecreek Inc. was formerly known as Energy Producers, Inc., an oil and gas
production company focusing on the recovery and development of oil and natural
gas. This strategy is centered on rehabilitation and production enhancement
techniques, utilizing modern management and technology applications in upgrading
certain proven reserves.
In its
2005 fiscal year, the Company initiated a program to review domestic oil and gas
prospects and targets. As a result, EGPI acquired non-operating oil and
gas interests in a project titled Ten Mile Draw (“TMD”) located in Sweetwater
County, Wyoming USA for the development and production of natural gas. In July,
2007, the Company acquired and began production of oil at the 2,000 plus acre
Fant Ranch Unit in Knox County, Texas. This was followed by the acquisition and
commencement of oil and gas production at the J.B. Tubb Leasehold Estate located
in the Amoco Crawar Field in Ward County, Texas in March, 2008. The Company
successfully increased production and revenues derived from its properties and
in late 2008, the Company was able to retire over 90% of its debt through the
disposition of those improved properties.
11
In early
2009, based on the economic downturn, struggling financial markets and the
implementation of the federal stimulus package for infrastructure projects, the
Company embarked on a transition from an emphasis on the oil and gas focused
business to that of an acquisition strategy focused on the transportation
industry serving federal DOT and state/local DOT agencies. In addition, the
acquisition targets being reviewed by the Company also have a presence in the
telecommunications and general construction industries. The acquisition strategy
focuses on vertically integrating manufacturing entities, distributors and
construction groups. In May 2009, the Company acquired M3 Lighting Inc. (M3) as
the flagship subsidiary to begin this process.
Through
2009 we continued to limit and wind down the pursuit of oil and gas 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 its new line of operations for M3, and in addition to its oil and
gas operations in 2009 with a goal to re build 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. In 2009 we disposed of our wholly owned subsidiary
Firecreek Petroleum, Inc. (see further information in this report and in our
current Report on Form 8-K filed May 20, 2009, incorporated herein by
reference). We account for or have accounted for these segments as discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the related fiscal
year.
Sale/Assignment
of 100% Stock of FPI Subsidiary
Having
disposed of all of the assets of FPI, on May 18, 2009, the Company and Firecreek
Global, Inc., entered into a Stock Acquisition Agreement effective the 18 th day of May, 2009, relating
to the Assignees acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
capital stock of Firecreek Petroleum, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Moreover,
included and inherent in the Assignment was all of the Company’s debt held in
the FPI subsidiary. In addition, the Company, and Assignee executed a right of
first refusal agreement attached as Exhibit to the Agreement, granting to the
Company the right of first refusal, for a period of two (2) years after Closing,
to participate in certain overseas projects in which Assignee may have or obtain
rights related to Assignors’ previous activities in certain areas of the world.
For further information please see our current Report on Form 8-K filed on May
20, 2009, incorporated herein by reference.
Completion
of Recent Merger Acquisition with M3 Lighting, Inc.
On May
21, 2009, EGPI Firecreek, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or
“Registrant”), Asian Ventures Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Subsidiary”), M3
Lighting, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“M3”), and Strategic Partners Consulting,
L.L.C., a Georgia limited liability company (“Strategic Partners”) executed and
closed a Plan and Agreement of Triangular Merger (the “Plan of Merger”), whereby
M3 merged into the Subsidiary, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant (the
“Merger”). Further information can be found along with copy of the
Plan of Merger attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed
with the Commission on May 27, 2009, as amended. Amendment No. 1 and No. 2 to
the May 27, 2009 current Report on Form 8-K were filed on June 24 and August 4,
2009, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
In
accordance with the Company’s plan of Merger, our plans are currently to develop
two lines of business, one line of business for its historical oil and gas
operations now reorganized into the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary unit,
Energy Producers, Inc. F/K/A Malibu Holding, Inc., this replacing Firecreek
Petroleum, Inc., and one for M3 Lighting, Inc., F/K/A Asian Ventures, Corp.
which is involved in distribution of commercial and decorative lighting to the
trade, and to direct retailers. M3 specializes in the areas of
lighting industry sales, design, product development, and sourcing, contracting
and capital markets. M3 is pursuing acquisitions for the Company in
the DOT construction industry on Federal and State levels in order to expand its
sales for lighting, guardrail, cameras, traffic management/signalization,
utility moves, variable message boards and other non-road construction
opportunities, as well as, its pursuit of light and traffic fixture
manufacturing plants both domestically and overseas. Future
acquisitions in the DOT construction industry are expected to provide a labor
force for the maintenance and remediation services the Company plans on
providing.
12
The
Company expects to incur an increase in operating expenses during the next year
from commencing activities related to its plans for the Company’s oil and gas,
M3 operations, and new acquisitions. 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 September 30, 2009 and September 30,
2008.

We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2009. This evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that, as
of September30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting
Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
14
All
internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations
and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to
financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and
presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of
changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
