EGPI FIRECREEK, INC.
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.

EGPI FIRECREEK, INC.
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.

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)
 
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.

3. 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.

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:
 
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, 2009 and June 30, 2008.

ITEM 3 – QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Not Applicable.

ITEM 4(T) – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
(a)
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.
