NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND JUNE 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,
Duchess Private Equities Ltd. (Duchess), foreclosed on the assets of the
Company. As a result, all of the Company’s oil and gas properties
were transferred to Duchess in satisfaction of debt owed.
In
October 2008, the Company effected a 1 share for 200 shares reverse split of its
common stock. See financial statement note 5 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 manufacturer and 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-
Revenue is recognized from oil &gas sales at such time as the oil
& 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 the Company did not record any
impairment.

NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND JUNE 30, 2008
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
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.
Investment in Star Energy, fair
value- The Company accounts for its investments in Star Energy as per
SFAS 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Management has
designated its investments in Star Energy as “available for
sale”. Accordingly, investment is recorded at market value and
earnings and losses on investments are recognized in the consolidated balance
sheets as other comprehensive income.
The
Company has also adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)
No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), to account for its investment, which
among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments
carried at fair value.
After
adoption of SFAS No.157, investments measured and reported at fair value are
classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
|
•
|
Level I—Quoted prices are
available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting
date. The type of investments in Level I include listed equities and
listed derivatives.
|
|
•
|
Level II—Pricing inputs are other
than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or
indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is
determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Investments which are generally included in this category include
corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities
and certain over-the-counter
derivatives.
|
|
•
|
Level III—Pricing inputs are
unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is
little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the
determination of fair value require significant management judgment or
estimation. Investments that are included in this category generally
include general and limited partnership interests in corporate private
equity and real estate funds, funds of hedge funds, distressed debt and
non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and
collateralized debt
obligations.
|
Deferred costs- Deferred
costs are the costs of obtaining the equity line of credit discussed in Note 9
and are amortized over the life of the loan.
Fixed Assets- Fixed assets are stated at
cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the asset. The following is a summary of the estimated
useful lives used in computing depreciation expense:
Office
equipment
|
3
years
|
Computer
hardware & software
|
3
years
|
Improvements
& furniture
|
5
years
|
Well
equipment
|
7
years
|
Expenditures
for major repairs and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are
capitalized. Minor repair expenditures are charged to expense as
incurred.

TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND JUNE 30, 2008
1.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
(CONTINUED)
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 the Company's
financial statements on Form 10-K, as amended, for the period ended December 31,
2008."
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.

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.
The 2008 downturn in economic circumstances lead to a default notice received
from our hedge fund lenders which in combination with lack of timely credit
availability resulted in forced disposition of our assets. In 2009 we are once
again pursuing a re-build of our basic projects infrastructure, negotiating for
new acquisitions and potential mergers and roll up transactions. In
May 2009 the Company acquired M3 Lighting, Inc. which became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company via reverse merger with an inactive wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. M3 is a manufacturer and distributor of commercial
and decorative lighting to the trade and direct to retailers. As part of
the plan of merger the Company spun out Firecreek Petroleum, Inc., and
reorganized its oil and gas operational plans by effecting a name change for its
wholly owned inactive subsidiary Malibu Holding, Inc. to Energy Producers, Inc.
(“EPI”) as a conduit for its oil and gas activities.
Through
2008 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 Lighting, Inc., 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.

Background
Firecreek Petroleum, Inc.
Effective
July 1, 2004, we acquired Firecreek Petroleum, Inc., and its subsidiary
Firecreek Romania, SRL, together (“Firecreek” or “FPI”). 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. In 2007 and 2008
Firecreek focused primarily on development of U.S. based domestic oil and gas
operations, the Fant Ranch Unit (acquired effective July 1, 2007), and Tubb
Leasehold estate (acquired effective January 1, 2008) which were located in Knox
and Ward Counties, Texas, respectively, and the Ten Mile Draw (TMD) project
located in Sweetwater County 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” or “NOC”) 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, subsequently began a workover
program for a third well, the 13-9, in July of 2006. The Company encountered and
reported several technical issues with the 13-9 well, and in bringing the well
online to satisfactory commercial production levels. During the second quarter
of operations the Company reported that it may ultimately elect to shut the well
if reasonable commercial production levels were not achieved in a reasonable
amount of time. Due not achieving commercial levels of production, during
September and October 2008 the Company and NOC elected to shut in the 13-9, and
the Company thereafter elected to sell all of its remaining interests and rights
held in the TMD to NOC (for further information please see our Current Report on
Form 8-K filed October 31, 2008, incorporated herein by reference).
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.
For additional information related to acquisition of Fant Ranch Unit please see
our Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16, 2007 incorporated herein by reference.
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 was to maintain the existing wells regularly, and to increase the
overall well efficiency and production for the field. Disposition as of December
2, 2008: In connection with the Default notice received October 24, 2008, and
actions of Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd., the 100% Working Interests held
in the Fant Ranch Unit was disposed of as of December 2, 2008, and is no longer
owned by the Company.
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. For updated
status please also see Item 1, Legal Proceedings in a report on Form 10-Q, filed
on November 21, 2008, incorporated herein by reference.
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 brought three wells online resulting in two of the
three wells effectively producing and selling oil and gas. 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. Disposition as of December 2, 2008: In connection with the
Default notice received October 24, 2008, and actions of Dutchess Private
Equities Fund, Ltd., the 75% Working Interests held in the J.B. Tubb Leasehold
Estate was disposed of as of December 2, 2008, and is no longer owned by the
Company.

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 18th 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 manufacturer and 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,
manufacturing, contracting and capital markets. M3 is pursuing
acquisitions 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.
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
and M3 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:

Evaluation
of Disclosure and Procedures
|
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 June 30, 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.
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.

Changes
in Internal Controls over financial
reporting
|
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during
our last fiscal quarter, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
