NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND MARCH 31, 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.
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 2007 and 2006, the Company did not record any
impairment.

TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND MARCH 31, 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.
|
The investment in Star Energy is a Level
I investment at December 31, 2007.
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

|
Computer
hardware & software
|

years
|
Improvements
& furniture
|
5
years
|

equipment
|
7

|
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.

FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND MARCH 31, 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 Duchess 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 oil and gas acquisitions, with good
potential for rehabilitation to increase production, and
upside potential initially for principally targeted shallow drilling
development.
-Raise
6-12 months working capital for corporate operations.
-Pursue
to obtain 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 oil and gas personnel 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.
A downturn in economic circumstances leading 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. Through 2008 we continued to limit and wind down the pursuit
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 new 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. We accounted for the segments as discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the related fiscal
year.
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. 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.
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
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:

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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.
