NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
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 held 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.
In
October 2008, the Company effected a 1 share for 200 shares reverse split of its
common stock and all amounts have been retroactively adjusted.
In May
2009 the Company acquired M3 Lighting, Inc. (“M3”) as a wholly owned subsidiary
via reverse triangular merger. The Company was determined to be the acquirer in
the transaction for accounting purposes. 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.
In
November 2009 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of South Atlantic Traffic Corporation, a Florida corporation
(“SATCO”). SATCO has been in business since 2001 and has several offices
throughout the Southeast United States. SATCO carries a variety of products and
inventory geared primarily towards the transportation industry. SATCO
offers transportation products ranging from loop sealant, traffic signal
equipment, traffic and light poles, data/video systems and Intelligent Traffic
Systems (ITS) surveillance systems. SATCO works closely with Department of
Transportation (DOT) agencies, local traffic engineers, contractors, and
consultants to customize high quality traffic control systems.
In
December 2009, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Energy Producers, Inc.
acquired 50% working interests and corresponding 32% net revenue interests in
oil and gas leases, reserves, and equipment located in West Central Texas. The
Company entered into a turnkey work program included for three wells
located on the leases.
On March
3, 2010, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with the stockholders
of Redquartz LTD (“Sellers” or “RQTZ”), a company formed and existing under the
laws of the country of Ireland, whereas the Company agreed to issue 100,000
shares of its restricted common stock valued at USD $2,500 in exchange for 100%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of RQTZ. All assets and liabilities, other than the Shareholder Notes Payable,
of the RQTZ were transferred to the prior owners of Redquartz. The Notes Payable
represent a debt burden to RQTZ of USD $4,464,262. This obligation is based in
Euros and converted to our functional currency the dollar. Redquartz LTD was
inactive in the first and second quarter of 2010 and had no income and expense
that would affect the financial statements of the Company and therefore no
pro-forma is necessary.
On June
11, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of
Chanwest Resources, LLC, (“Chanwest or CWR”) a Texas corporation. In the course

On
October 1, 2010 EGPI Firecreek, Inc. the Company entered into a Definitive
Securities Purchase/Exchange Agreement with Terra Telecom, LLC. (“Terra"). Terra
is considered recognized as a leading provider of state-of-the-art communication
technologies and a premier Alcatel-Lucent partner. They currently serve various
sized companies and organizations that use and deploy communications systems,

experience. Its goal is to provide customers value and integrity in each of
these opportunities. Since 1980, Terra has focused on delivering enterprise
solutions while leading with voice services and offering full turn-key solutions
that consist of voice, data, video and associated applications.
On
October 18, 2010, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles
of Incorporation, increasing its authorized common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, to 3,000,000,000 from 1,300,000,000 and maintains 60,000,000 par value
$0.001 per share of its authorized preferred stock.
On
November 9, 2010, the Company effected a 1 share for 50 shares reverse split of
its common stock and all amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all
periods presented.
Consolidation - the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company
balances have been eliminated.
The
financial information included in this quarterly report should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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.
Sales
from South Atlantic Traffic Company revenues are recognized at the time product
has been delivered to the customer. Sales are recorded net of discounts or other
adjustments which may be applied to the gross sales price. Customer sales are
specialty orders drop-shipped from the
manufacturer. Accordingly, all sales are final upon delivery to
the customer under the terms of the sales order. The Company’s policy
is not to grant customer refunds. Customer deposits received upon execution of a
sales order are recorded as revenue upon completion of the sale.
The
Company records commission revenue, usually 3% of the amount invoiced, based on
contracts with suppliers, once the purchase order is placed with the supplier
and the customer is invoiced. The Company, in turn, sends an invoice to the
supplier for 3% of the total order amount. Commission sales are specialty orders
drop-shipped from the manufacturer. Accordingly, all sales are final upon
delivery to the customer under the terms of the sales order.
Cash Equivalents -The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of
September 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
Accounts Receivable - The
Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, maintaining allowances for
potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's
expectations. The allowance method is used to account for uncollectible amounts.
The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Allowance for doubtful accounts was $687,269 at September 30, 2010 and $651,913
at December 31, 2009.
Inventory - Inventories
consist of merchandise purchased for resale and are stated at the lower of cost
or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Prepaid Expenses - Prepaid
expenses are recorded at cost for payments for goods and services purchased
during an accounting period but not used or consumed during that accounting
period. The costs are amortized over time as the benefit is received onto the
income statement.
Oil and Gas Activities - 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.
8
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 2009 after conducting an impairment analysis, the Company
did not record impairment as the PV 10 value as our reserves exceeded our
cost.
Asset Retirement Obligations
(“ARO”). The estimated costs of restoration and removal of
facilities are accrued. The fair value of a liability for an asset's retirement
obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred and the
corresponding cost capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related
long-lived asset. The liability is accreted to its then present value each
period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated with the related long-lived
asset. If the liability is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount,
a gain or loss is recognized. For all periods presented, estimated future costs
of abandonment and dismantlement are included in the full cost amortization base
and are amortized as a component of depletion expense. At September 30, 2010,
the ARO of $4,337 is included in accrued expenses and fixed assets.
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.
Stock-Based Compensation
- The
Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards made to employees
and directors, including stock options, restricted stock and employee stock
purchases related to employee stock purchase plans, on the date of grant using
an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that
is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense ratably over the
requisite service periods. We estimate the fair value of each
share-based award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
Black-Scholes model is highly complex and dependent on key estimates by
management. The estimates with the greatest degree of subjective judgment are
the estimated lives of the stock-based awards and the estimated volatility of
our stock price. The Black-Scholes model is also used for our valuation of
warrants.
Earnings Per Common Share -
Basic earnings per common share is calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares and dilutive common share equivalents (convertible notes and
interest on the notes, stock awards and stock options) outstanding during the
period. Dilutive earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of
common stock. Basic and diluted EPS are the same as the effect of our
potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.
Fair Value Measurements
- On
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and
liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. Beginning on January 1, 2009, the Company also applied the
guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance
establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes
the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by
requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable
inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of
the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s
assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the
reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 -
Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to
access.
9
Level 2
- Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in
inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are
observable in the market.
Level 3
- Valuation is based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The
unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the inputs that
market participants would use.
Non-Recurring
fair value metrics:
Level 1 –
None
Level 2 –

Level 3 –
Intangible assets –
Trade
Name $661,000, Customer List $187,000, Goodwill $2,012,518, Non-Compete
$7,000 = Total $2,867,518
The
Company has goodwill and intangible assets as a result of the 2009 business
combinations discussed throughout this form 10Q. These assets were valued with
the help of a valuation consultant and consisted of level 3 valuation
techniques.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt. The
estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of
these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt also approximates
fair value since their terms are similar to those in the lending market for
comparable loans with comparable risks. None of these instruments are held for
trading purposes.
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:

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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
- The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic
360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the
Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if
events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include
significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a
forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended
period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon
forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the
carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of
future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of
the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets - The
Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject
to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist.
Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain
triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.
These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal
factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of
a significant portion of the business, or other
factors. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a
two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to
identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit
with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs
and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting
unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental
assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and
discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are
based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are
based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units.
If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of
the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the
impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit
exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is
performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of
the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting
unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying
amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that
goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the
amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value
of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that
unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had
been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit
was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The
Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year ended December 31,
2009 resulted in no impairment.
10
As
September 30, 2010, amortizable intangible assets consist of trade names and
customer contracts. These intangibles are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 12 and 10 years,
respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2010 the Company
recorded amortization of our intangibles of $52,155, and amortization of $11,140
at December 31, 2009.
Income taxes - The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which
requires the establishment of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of
the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in
effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is
provided to the extent deferred tax assets may not be recoverable after
consideration of the future reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning
strategies, and projected future taxable income.
The
Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. The guidance requires the Company to recognize tax
benefits only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is
measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely
to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax
benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax returns that do
not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
Foreign Currency Translation and
Transaction and translation - The financial position at
present for the Company’s foreign subsidiary Redquartz LLC, established under
the laws of the Country of Ireland are determined using (U.S. dollars) reporting
currency as the functional currency. All exchange gains and losses from
remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in
U.S. dollars are recognized currently in other comprehensive income. All
transactional gains and losses are part of income or loss from operations (if
and when incurred) will be pursuant to current accounting
literature.
The
Company’s functional currency is the U.S dollar. We have an obligation related
to our acquisition of Red Quartz as discussed in Note 7 which is denominated in
Euro’s. The change in currency valuation from our reporting this obligation in
U.S dollars is reported as a component of other comprehensive income consistent
with the relevant accounting literature.
Derivative Financial Instruments
-The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to
cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Derivative financial instruments
are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments
that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially
recorded at its fair value and is then re−valued at each reporting date, with
changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For
option−based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the
Black−Scholes model to value the derivative instruments. The classification of
derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as
liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current
or non−current based on whether or not net−cash settlement of the derivative
instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet
date.
Recently
Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
In
April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 350-10, "Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets." ASC 350-10 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under ASC 350-10, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." ASC No. 350-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The adoption of this ASC did not have a material impact
on our consolidated financial statements.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 805-10, "Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies—an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised December 2007), Business
Combinations". ASC 805-10 addresses application issues raised by preparers,
auditors and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and
measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting and disclosure of assets and
liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. ASC 805-10 is
effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
ASC 805-10 will have an impact on our accounting for any future
acquisitions and its consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”. ASC Topic 855
established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent
events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the
financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the
financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also requires disclosure of the date through
which subsequent events are evaluated by management. ASC Topic 855 was effective
for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively.
Because ASC Topic 855 impacts the disclosure requirements, and not the
accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did
not impact our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. See
Note 10 for disclosures regarding our subsequent events.
11
Effective
July 1, 2009, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles—Overall ("ASC 105-10"). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental
entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC
registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level
of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature
not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue
new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues
Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates
("ASUs"). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.
ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information
about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the
Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout these consolidated
financials have been updated for the Codification.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value, which provides additional guidance on how companies should measure
liabilities at fair value under ASC 820. The ASU clarifies that the quoted price
for an identical liability should be used. However, if such information is not
available, an entity may use the quoted price of an identical liability when
traded as an asset, quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities
traded as assets, or another valuation technique (such as the market or income
approach). The ASU also indicates that the fair value of a liability is not
adjusted to reflect the impact of contractual restrictions that prevent its
transfer and indicates circumstances in which quoted prices for an identical
liability or quoted price for an identical liability traded as an asset may be
considered level 1 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective
October 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard,
but would not expect it to have a material impact on the our consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
In
October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new
revenue recognition standards for arrangements with multiple deliverables, where
certain of those deliverables are non-software related. The new standards permit
entities to initially use management’s best estimate of selling price to value
individual deliverables when those deliverables do not have Vendor Specific
Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value or when third-party evidence is not
available. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the
transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified
deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating
arrangement consideration. These new standards are effective for annual periods
ending after June 15, 2010 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing the Codification as the source
of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U. S. GAAP”)
recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and
interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under
authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP
for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting
literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. The
FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff
Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue
Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve only to update the Codification,
provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for
conclusions on changes in the Codification. All content in the Codification
carries the same level of authority, and the U.S. GAAP hierarchy was modified to
include only two levels of U.S. GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. The
Codification is effective for the Company’s interim and annual periods beginning
with the Company’s year ending December 31, 2009. Adoption of the Codification
affected disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Statements by eliminating
references to previously issued accounting literature, such as SFASs, EITFs and
FSPs.
In
June 2009, the FASB issued amended standards for determining whether to
consolidate a variable interest entity. These new standards amend the
evaluation criteria to identify the primary beneficiary of a variable interest
entity and require ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary
beneficiary of the variable interest entity. The provisions of the new standards
are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new standards
will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued guidance establishing general standards for accounting
for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and shall be
applied to subsequent events not addressed in other applicable generally
accepted accounting principles. This guidance, among other things, sets forth
the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in
the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements and the disclosures an entity should make about events or
transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of this
guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.

Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations,
realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue
as a going concern. The Company has experienced substantial losses,
maintains a negative working capital and capital deficits, which raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
Company is working to manage its current liabilities while it continues to make
changes in operations to improve its cash flow and liquidity position. The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of
using the going concern basis is dependent upon the Company’s ability to
generate revenue from the sale of its services and the cooperation of the
Company’s note holders to assist with obtaining working capital to meet
operating costs in addition to our ability to raise funds.
3.
Common and Preferred Stock Transactions
In the
first nine months of 2010, the Company issued 2,566,057 shares of common stock
for services valued at $726,734. Additional shares have been authorized but not
yet issued amounting to a stock payable of $367,578. The shares were issued (or
authorized) to various business consultants, advisors, and legal consultants for
assisting the Company’s growth plan. We used the closing share price on the date
of grant for valuation of the expense.
In the
first nine months of 2010, the Company issued 14,175,300 shares of common stock
to extinguish debt of $2,860,736.
In the
first nine months of 2010, the Company issued 4,669 shares of common stock for
subscription price of $61,004.
In the
third quarter of 2010, 2,000 shares were issued to Red Quartz in
conjunction with the acquisition.

During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted two
consulting firms a three year option agreement in representing the aggregate
amount of 181,751 cashless options calculated as of September 30, 2010 and based
on vesting date of September 1, 2010. The warrants expire two and one half (2.5)
years from the date of vesting. Pursuant to the terms of the two agreements, the
description and method of calculating the shares to obtain the strike price,
which has not yet been exercised, is: Each of the agreements agrees for the
Holder of options to be able to purchase .5% of the Company’s common stock for
$10,000 upon an exercise, if any, during the exercise period available to each
of the Holders. To be able to determine the floating exercise price and amount
of shares available for exercise we first divided the exercise price of $10,000
by the .5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock according to
the transfer agent records only, or one half percent of 18,175,142 at September
30, 2010, or calculated out one half of one percent becomes 4,543,786. Therefore
the strike price for the exercise at September 30, 2010 would be $10,000 divided
by 90,876 or $0.11 per share strike price. The volatility used was estimated at
95% with the estimated fair value for each of the option agreements $957.68, or
a total of $1,915.36 in the aggregate.
During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, 11,326 of the Company’s
options-warrants have expired.
During
2009 we granted 130,000 warrants. 10,000 warrants were granted to a consultant
pursuant to an advisory agreement with an exercise price of $50.00 per share, 3
year term, an estimated 95% volatility and an estimated fair value of
$7,934.
During
2009 we granted 120,000 to continue to try and improve our relationship with our
debt holders. There were two issuances of 60,000. The first issuance included an
exercise price of $50.00 per share, 3 year term, an estimated 95% volatility and
an estimated fair value of $25,550. The second issuance included an exercise
price of $62.50 per share, 3 year term, an estimated 95% volatility and an
estimated fair value of $20,553.
The
estimated total value of the above warrants was $10,050 of which value was
expensed for 2010, and $54,037 expensed during 2009.

Acquisition of M3 Lighting, Inc. (M3), South Atlantic Traffic Corporation
(SATCO), Redquartz LTD (RQTZ), and Chanwest Resources, LLC (CWR).
2010
i)
|
On
March 3, 2010, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with the
stockholders of Redquartz LTD (“Sellers” or “RQTZ”), a company formed and
existing under the laws of the country of Ireland, whereas the Company
agreed to issue 2,000 shares of its restricted common stock valued at USD
$2,500 in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of RQTZ. All assets and liabilities,
other than the Shareholder Notes Payable, of the RQTZ were transferred to
the prior owners of Redquartz. The Notes Payable represent a debt burden
to RQTZ of USD $4,464,262. This obligation is based in Euros and converted
to our functional currency the dollar. Redquartz LTD was inactive in the
first quarter of 2010 and had no income and expense that would affect the
financial statements of the Company and therefore no pro-forma is
necessary. The transaction value was recorded to APIC due to the related
party nature of this Agreement.
|
ii)
|
On
June 11, 2010, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with the
stockholders of Chanwest Resources, LLC, (“Chanwest or CWR”) a Texas
corporation, whereas the Company agreed to issue 400,000 shares of its
restricted common stock valued at USD $95,000, in exchange for 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock, with a no par value
designation per share, of CWR. All assets and liabilities, other than
the Shareholder Notes Payable, of the CWR were retained by the Company via
ownership of the subsidiary unit in the initial amount of
$252,161. Chanwest Resources, LLC was essentially inactive in the
first and second quarter of 2010 having a minor amount of income and
expense that would substantially affect the financial statements of the
Company, however we have elected to include a pro forma result with this
report for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, and none for
2009 as Chanwest was just then incorporated in November
2009.
|
The
Agreement calls for the following material terms:

is lesser, shall be made available for distribution to employees of the
Corporation at the first anniversary of the Closing in an incentive stock
option plan for the benefit of certain employees of the Companies
designated by the Sellers, with an exercise price not to exceed one
hundred and ten percent market price on date of issuance. The pool of
shares will be determined to be available based on the Corporations
ability to earn a minimum of $300,000 before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization.

On
May 21, 2009, The Company, 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 Company. The acquisition has
been accounted for at cost basis with no step up in purchase price
due to M3 no having ongoing operations as a development stage company and
no meeting the definition of a business. We gave 286,416 shares of our
commons stock to acquire M3. No pro-forma is necessary as given the
development stage nature of this Company the results of our operations
would not materially change had the acquisition occurred at the beginning
of the prior year.
|
ii)
|
On
November 4, 2009, the Company, Bob Joyner, a Florida resident
("Joyner"), Stewart Hall, a North Carolina resident ("Hall"), Hunter
Intelligent Traffic Systems, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company
(“Hunter”) and South Atlantic Traffic Corporation, a Florida corporation (
“SATCO”), executed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") whereas
the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding stock and interests held in
SATCO. A copy of the Agreement was attached as an exhibit to our Current
Report filed with the Commission on November 12, 2009. The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase under accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). Under the purchase method of
accounting, in accordance with ARC 805 ,
the assets and liabilities of SATCO are recorded as of the
acquisition date at their respective fair values, and consolidated with
the Company’s assets and
liabilities.
|
The
Agreement calls for the following material terms:
I.
Purchase of Stock, Purchase Price:
1. The
Registrant agreed to pay to the Sellers aggregate consideration of $2,326,300
(the "PURCHASE PRICE"), adjusted to $2,058,373 as a result of the estimated make
whole provision below by delivery of:
16
(a) Cash
in available funds equal to the greater of: (i) sum of Fifty Percent (50%) of
SATCO’s available cash balance at Closing plus Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of
SATCO’s trade accounts receivables aged less than Ninety (90) days past due at
Closing with an additional amount to be negotiated for the outstanding retainage
and imminent collections of receivables over 90 days old as negotiated prior to
Closing; which was (ii) $600,000.
(b)
Promissory notes issued to each Seller in the aggregate principal amount of Five
Hundred Sixty Three Thousand One Hundred US Dollars ($563,100) (the “PROMISSORY
NOTES”). The Promissory Notes will accrue interest at a rate of Nine Percent
(9%) per annum and will amortize with a principal and interest payment at the
First Anniversary Date of the Transaction of Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the
Promissory Notes plus accrued interest, a principal and interest payment at the
Second Anniversary Date of the Transaction of Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the
Promissory Notes plus accrued interest and a Final Payment of the Outstanding
Balance of the Promissory Notes plus any unpaid interest on the Third
Anniversary Date of the Transaction.
(c)
58,160 shares of the Registrant’s common stock issued to the Sellers pro rata
based on their ownership in SATCO representing $1,163,200.00 in value at a price
per share of $0.40 ("STOCK CONSIDERATION").
(d)
Principal and interest on the Promissory Notes will be allocated to the Sellers
pro rata based on their equity ownership SATCO. The Promissory Notes carry a
cumulative claw-back feature (the “Claw Back”) for the term of the Promissory
Notes listed in the agreement.
(e) Stock
consideration shall be issued at closing as follows: The Purchaser shall issue
to the Sellers an aggregate of 58,160 shares of its Common Stock (“the “STOCK
CONSIDERATION”) the total Stock Consideration to be paid to the Sellers based
upon a share price of Forty Cents ($0.40) per share.
(f) Stock
Consideration issued at Closing will carry a make whole provision (the “Make
Whole”). It is the parties’ intention that the Proposed Transaction will be
structured as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Make Whole provides down-side protection
against a decline in the Registrant’s common share price. The Make Whole is
available only for shares held from the Stock Consideration by the Seller for a
period of one year following Closing. In the event that the Market Price
Per Share of the Stock Consideration during the thirty (30) consecutive trading
days immediately prior to the first anniversary of the Closing (the “Make Whole
Date”) is less than $.40, the Registrant would, at the Registrant’s option,
either issue to Sellers that number of additional shares of EGPI common stock
equal to (1) the number of shares of EGPI common stock comprising the Stock
Consideration held at the Make Whole Date, multiplied by $.40, less (2) the
number of shares of EGPI common stock comprising the Stock Consideration held at
the Make Whole Date, multiplied by the Market Price Per Share of the Stock
Consideration on the Make Whole Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Registrant’s obligation to make any adjustment pursuant to the preceding
sentence shall terminate in the event that, at any time prior to the Make Whole
Date, the aggregate Market Price Per Share of the Registrant’s common stock
during any twenty consecutive trading days exceeds $.75. The termination of the
Make Whole mechanism will only apply if the Sellers’ shares are registered
during the entire twenty consecutive trading days period, during which the
Market Price Per Share of the Registrant’s common stock exceeds $.75, by virtue
of eligibility and effectiveness of either i) 144 legend removal or
ii) self imposed registration process by the Registrant.

As
discussed in Note 7 On March 3, 2010, the Company acquired Redquartz LTD, a
company formed and existing under the laws of the country of Ireland, and
subscribed for issuance of 2,000 shares of its restricted common
stock valued at USD $2,500 in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of RQTZ. All assets and
liabilities, other than the Shareholder Notes Payable, of the RQTZ were
transferred to the prior owners of Redquartz. The Notes Payable then represented
a debt burden to RQTZ of USD $4,464,262. This obligation is based in Euros and
converted to our functional currency the dollar. Redquartz LTD was inactive in
the first quarter of 2010. The transaction value was recorded to APIC due to the
related party nature of this Agreement.

Compounded
Notes:
Other
than as described at Notes 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 none of the other notes had
conversion options.
Note 1:
On January 15, 2010, the Company issued an $86,000 Convertible Promissory Note
(“Convertible Note”) and a registration rights agreement (“RRA”) to an investor
for making a $1,000,000 cash loan. The Convertible Note has no
specified interest rate and was scheduled to mature six months from the closing
date. At the investor’s option, the outstanding principal amount,
including all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, may be converted into shares
of common stock at the conversion price, which is 75% of the lower of (a) $0.08
per share; or (b) the lowest three-day common stock volume weighted average
price during the prior twenty business days. In addition, if the Company sells
common shares or securities convertible into common shares, the Conversion Price
shall become the lower of: (a) the conversion price in effect immediately prior
to the sale of securities; or (b) the conversion price of the securities
sold.
The RRA
provides both mandatory and piggyback registration rights. The
Company was obligated to (a) file a registration statement for 40,000 common
shares (subject to adjustment) no later than 14 days after the closing date, and
(b) have it declared effective no later than the earlier of (i) five days after
the SEC notifies the Company that it may be declared effective or (ii) 90 days
from the closing date. The Company was obligated to pay the investor
a penalty of $100 for each day that it is late in meeting these obligations. The
Company’s registration statement was filed late and on March 18, 2010 it was
withdrawn.
19
Upon
occurrence of an Event of Default (various specified events), the Lender may (a)
declare the unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
immediately due and payable; (b) at anytime after January 31, 2010, immediately
draw on the LOC to satisfy EGPI’s obligations; and (c) interest will accrue at
the rate of 18%.
Upon
occurrence of a Trigger event: (a) the outstanding principal amount will
increase by 25%; and (b) interest will accrue at the rate of 18%. The Trigger
Event effects shall not be applied more than two times. There are various
Trigger Events, including (a) the five-day common stock VWAP declines below
$0.04; (b) the ten-day average daily trading volume declines below $5,000; (c) a
judgment against EGPI in excess of $100,000; (d) failure to file a registration
statement on time; (e) failure to cause a registration statement to become
effective on time; (f) events of default; and (g) insufficient authorized common
shares.
During
the first quarter of 2010, the Company tripped two trigger events and incurred
resulting penalties and incremental debt obligation. These events increased the
outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note by approximately $22,000
and $27,000 of trigger penalties.
It was
determined that the Convertible Note’s conversion option, plus other existing
equity instruments (warrants outstanding; see Notes 2 and 7 below) of the
Company, were required to be (re)classified as derivative liabilities as of
January 15, 2010, because (a) the Convertible Note provides conversion price
protection; and (b) the quantity of shares issuable pursuant to the conversion
option is indeterminate. The conversion option and the related
instruments were initially valued at $63,080 (expected term of 0.5 years;
risk-free rate of 0.15%; and volatility of 95%) and this amount was recorded as
a note discount and derivative liability. The derivative liabilities were then
marked to the market to an aggregate value of $16,158 (expected term of 0.3
years; risk-free rate of 0.16%; and volatility of 95%) at March 31,
2010.
On May
12, 2010, the parties to the Convertible Note executed a Waiver of Trigger
Event, which stipulated: (1) the principal outstanding on the Convertible Note
was fixed at $147,500 as of May 12, 2010; (2) the remaining impact of the
trigger events and failure to register the shares was waived; (3) the interest
rate was reset at 9%; (4) the number of shares issuable under the conversion
option was capped at 150 million shares; (5) the repricing provision of the
conversion option was eliminated; and (6) the maturity date of the note was
revised to August 15, 2010. In addition, if the market price of the
Company’s common stock declines such that the conversion option would be capped
at the agreed 150 million shares, the repayment date is accelerated and the
outstanding balance on the note is immediately due and payable. As a
result of the above, the conversion option and related instruments were revalued
as of May 12, 2010 and were reclassified to paid-in-capital (equity) in the
amount of $50,303 (expected term of 0.3 years; risk-free rate of 0.16%; and
volatility of 95%).
Effective
August 3, 2010 the Company entered into a Promissory Note in the amount of
$153,046 with an entity that had acquired and then exchanged the Debt described
above. The terms of the Promissory Note are for 8% interest, with principal and
interest all due on or before August 3, 2012. The note is current as of
September 30, 2010.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company has recorded no
charge and a $12,777 benefit on the statement of operations, respectively,
associated with the change in the value of the derivative liabilities over the
time period. The note discount was amortized using the interest method
over the duration of the Convertible Note (initially six months and amended to
eight months) and interest expense of $14,291 and $63,080 was recognized during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. No derivative
liability existed as of September 30, 2010.
Note 2:
On December 22, 2009, we also issued $150,000 of notes that will become
convertible only upon an Event of Default. The Company evaluated these notes and
determined that: (1) the conversion option was eligible for a scope exception
for bifurcation from the note; and (2) since the note is contingently
convertible and not currently substantive, the beneficial conversion feature
would not be recognized unless the conversion option was triggered. While the
notes weren’t repaid until July 2010, there was no Event of
Default.
The
Company also granted 120,000 warrants to these note holders as noted previously
in these footnotes. Initially, the warrants received equity
treatment. However, because the shares issuable pursuant to the
conversion option on the January 15, 2010 Convertible Note were indeterminate
from January 15, 2010 until May 12, 2010, these warrants
were reclassified from equity to derivative liabilities as of January
15, 2010 and back to equity as of May 12, 2010. Because the shares issuable
pursuant to the conversion option on the July 26, 2010 Convertible Note (see
Note 6) are indeterminate these warrants were reclassified again from
equity to derivative liabilities as of July 26, 2010.
The
December 22, 2009 values of the warrants (expected term of 3.0 years; risk-free
rate of 1.48%; and volatility of 95%) were $45,413 and, after adjusting for the
relative fair values of the notes and the warrants, a $34,859 note discount was
recorded and classified as paid-in-capital (equity). The note
discount was amortized using the interest method over the six month duration of
the Convertible Note and interest expense of none and $34,859 was recognized
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively.
The January 15, 2010 value
of the warrants (expected term of 2.9 years; risk-free rate of 1.44%; and
volatility of 95%) of $20,384 was reclassified from paid-in-capital (equity) to
derivative liabilities. The May 12, 2010 value of the warrants
(expected term of 2.6 years; risk-free rate of 1.15%; and volatility of 95%) of
$162 was reclassified from derivative liabilities to paid-in-capital (equity).
The July 26, 2010 value of the warrants (expected term of 2.4 years; risk-free
rate of 0.80%; and volatility of 95%) of $6 was reclassified from
paid-in-capital (equity) to derivative liabilities. The September 30, 2010
value of the warrants (expected term of 2.2 years; risk-free rate of 0.53%; and
volatility of 95%) was marked to the market as immaterial. For the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a $6 benefit and
a $20,228 benefit on the statement of operations, respectively, associated with
the change in the value of the derivative
liabilities.
20
Note 3:
During 2009 we received cash proceeds for these debt obligations of
$393,976.
Note 4:
For the period ended September 30, 2010, we have received cash proceeds for
these debt obligations of $825,715.
Note 5:
For the period ended September 30, 2010 we have additional debt obligations owed
totaling $1,937,058.
Note 6:
On July 26, 2010, we issued a $165,000 secured convertible promissory note that
is convertible at the election of the holder any time after issuance, or upon an
Event of Default, or when due in 24 months on July 26, 2012. While the notes
have not yet become due or repaid, there was no Event of Default as of September
30, 2010, or thereafter. The Company evaluated the note and determined that the
shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were indeterminate and
therefore this conversion option and all other dilutive securities would be
classified as a derivative liability as of July 26, 2010. The July 26, 2010
value of the conversion option (expected term of 2.0 years; risk-free rate of
0.62%; and volatility of 95%) of $165,000 was recorded as a note discount, to be
amortized over the life of the note, and derivative liability. The
derivative liability was marked to market at September 30, 2010 to its then
current value of $518,571 (expected term of 1.8 years; risk-free rate of 0.38%;
and volatility of 95%). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
the Company recognized negligible note discount amortization and a $999,429
benefit on the statement of operations associated with the change in the value
of the derivative liabilities.
Note 7:
On August 10, 2010, we issued a $35,000 convertible promissory note that is
convertible at the election of the holder any time after issuance, or upon an
Event of Default, or when due in 24 months on August 10, 2012. While the notes
have not yet become due or repaid, there was no Event of Default as of September
30, 2010, or thereafter. The Company evaluated the note and determined that,
because the shares issuable pursuant to the July 26, 2010 convertible note are
indeterminate, the conversion option associated with this note is deemed to be a
derivative liability. The August 10, 2010 value of the note of $35,000 (expected
term of 2.0 years; risk-free rate of 0.52%; and volatility of 95%) was recorded
as a note discount, to be amortized over the life of the note, and derivative
liability. The derivative liability was marked to market at September 30,
2010 to its then current value of $110,000 (expected term of 1.9 years;
risk-free rate of 0.42%; and volatility of 95%). For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized negligible note discount
amortization and a $83,200 benefit on the statement of operations associated
with the change in the value of the derivative
liabilities.
Note 8:
On September 3, 2010, we issued a $50,000 convertible promissory note that is
convertible at the election of the holder any time after issuance, or upon an
Event of Default, or when due in 9 months on May 23, 2011. While the notes have
not yet become due or repaid, there was no Event of Default as of September 30,
2010, or thereafter October 2010 forward. The Company evaluated the
note and determined that, because the shares issuable pursuant to the July 26,
2010 convertible note are indeterminate, the conversion option associated with
this note is deemed to be a derivative liability. The September 3, 2010 value of
the note (expected term of 0.7 years; risk-free rate of 0.22%; and
volatility of 95%) of $50,000 was recorded as a note discount, to be amortized
over the life of the note, and derivative liability. The derivative
liability was marked to market at September 30, 2010 to its then current value
of $37,106 (expected term of 0.6 years; risk-free rate of 0.19%; and volatility
of 95%). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company
recognized negligible note discount amortization and a $38,056 benefit on the
statement of operations associated with the change in the value of the
derivative liabilities.
Note
9: General Note: Although a portion of our debt is not due within 12 months,
given our working capital deficit and cash positions and our ability to service
the debt on a long term basis is questionable, the notes are all treated as
current liabilities.
Note 10:
General Note: Other previously issued warrants to purchase 11,326
shares of common stock were reclassified from equity to derivative liabilities
upon the issuance of the January 15, 2010 Convertible Note, on account of the
indeterminate nature of the number of shares to be issued pursuant to the
conversion option. Those same warrants were reclassified back to
equity from derivative liabilities upon the May 12, 2010 execution of the Waiver
of Trigger Event. During June 2010, warrants to purchase 1,326 shares
expired. Warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock were reclassified
from equity to derivative liabilities upon the issuance of the July 26, 2010
Convertible Note. The value of the warrants on each of those dates
was negligible. As of September 30, 2010, the values of these warrants continue
to be negligible.
Note 11:
In the first nine months of 2010, the Company issued 12,129,301 shares of common
stock to extinguish debt of $2,860,736.
10. Professional Service
Agreements
On March
1, 2010, the Company entered into two professional service agreements (the
“Agreements”) which are intended to be automatically renewable
annually. Aggregate fees pursuant to the Agreements are comprised of
(a) $20,000 in cash per month which has been accrued through the period ended
September 30, 2010; (b) a one-time issuance of 120,000 shares of restricted
common stock; and (c) three-year options, which vest six months from the grant
date, to purchase for $20,000 the lower of (i) shares of common stock
representing 1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock; or (ii) shares of
common stock representing a fair market value of $150,000. In
addition, the vendors are entitled to convert any unpaid cash fees into common
stock at a 50% discount to the fair market value of the stock on the date of
conversion.
21
The March 1, 2010 value of
the options of $440 (expected term of 2.9 years; risk-free rate of 1.02%; and
volatility of 95%) was recorded as general administration expense and a
derivative liability due to the issuance of the January 15, 2010 Convertible
Note. The May 12, 2010 value of the options of $9,068 (expected term
of 2.8 years; risk-free rate of 1.27%; and volatility of 95%) was reclassified
from derivative liabilities to paid-in-capital (equity). The July 26, 2010 value
of the options of $12,214 (expected term of 2.6 years; risk-free rate of 0.80%;
and volatility of 95%) was reclassified from paid-in-capital (equity) to
derivative liabilities. The September 30, 2010 value of the options of
$1,802 (expected term of 2.4 years; risk-free rate of 0.53%; and volatility of
95%) was marked to the market. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $15,160 and a $1,784 benefits on the
statement of operations, respectively, associated with the change in the value
of the derivative liabilities.
Through
September 30, 2010, the cumulative value associated with the initial recording
of the conversion option related to the monthly cash fee obligations was
$168,465 which was recorded as general administration expense and a derivative
liability. The September 30, 2010 value of the conversion option associated with
the cumulative cash fee obligations was $162,036 (expected term of 0.9 years;
risk-free rate of 0.27%; and volatility of 95%) was marked to the market.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, on the statement of
operations, the Company recorded $70,418 and $168,465 as general administration
expense; and benefits of $4,702 and $6,429 associated with the change in the
value of the derivative liabilities, respectively.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company also recognized
$41,250 and $96,250 of general administration expense, respectively, with a
corresponding credit to paid-in-capital, which represents amortization of the
$165,000 grant date value of the 120,000 shares of restricted common stock over
the expected one year service period.
11.
Concentrations and Risk
Customers
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, and for the nine months ended September 30,
2010, revenue generated under the top five customers accounted for 45% and 81%
of the Company’s total revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2009, and for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 three customers accounted for 29% and
72% of the total outstanding accounts receivable. Concentration with a single or
a few customers may expose the Company to the risk of substantial losses if a
single dominant customer stops conducting business with the
Company. Moreover, the Company may be subject to the risks faced by
these major customers to the extent that such risks impede such customers’
ability to stay in business and make timely payments.
Suppliers
The
Company obtained approximately 47% of its products from one manufacturer in the
United States for the nine months ending September 30, 2010. Concentration with
a single or a few suppliers may expose the Company to the risk of substantial
losses if a single dominant supplier stops conducting business with the Company.
Management believes this poses no business risk as the Company believes
alternative product sources are readily available if needed.
12.
Contingencies
The
Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range
of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities.
Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the
resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
In April
2010 we received a lawsuit on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas Acuity
Brands Lighting Inc. (“Acuity”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed to
Acuity by SATCO. Bob Joyner, Stewart Hall and Michael Hunter were also named on
the lawsuit as each of the previous owners of SATCO had personal guarantees
contained in the agreement between Acuity and SATCO. The previous owners of
SATCO were indemnified for the personal guarantees in the Stock Purchase
Agreement between the Company and SATCO.
In July
2010 we received a lawsuit notice on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas
Pelco Products, Inc. (“Pelco”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed it
from SATCO in the total aggregate amount of $26,229, and subsequent thereto a
Default Journal Entry of Judgment was filed on September 3, 2010. There are no
material differences in the amount accrued and the default
judgment.
In May
2010 we received a lawsuit on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas Targetti
Poulsen USA Inc. (“Poulsen”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed to
Poulsen by SATCO. Southeast Underground Utilities Corp. (“SE Underground”) was
also named on the lawsuit as SE Underground is a customer of SATCO and had
failed to pay SATCO for materials ordered from Poulsen. Management is
confident that this matter will be resolved ultimately in SATCO’s favor and
since we do not believe we are at fault or liable, we intend to vigorously
defend our position. On August 16th, 2010 a default and final judgment was
awarded to Targetti Poulsen in the amount of $266,189. Due to the nature of this
claim and Southeast Underground's blatant non-payment to SATCO for amounts owed,
it is management's belief that the Company is not liable and is currently
exploring all appeal opportunities and processes. There are no material
differences in the amount accrued and the judgment amount.
In August
2010 we received a lawsuit notice on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas
Bison Profab, Inc. (“BPI”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed it from
SATCO. On October 12, 2010 BPI has filed a motion for a No-Answer Default
Judgment on SATCO and the Company for failure to answer in the amount of
approximately $27,710. The Company believes that it is not liable, and intends
to file for an appeal to remove it from the motion for judgment. There are no
material differences in the amount accrued and the judgment
amount.
22
As noted
in our business combination footnote our SATCO acquisition contained certain
make whole provisions that may impact us in the future.
As noted
in our debt footnote above, we have certain notes that may become convertible in
the future and potential result in further dilution to our common
shareholders.
In July
2010 our Chanwest Resources, Inc. subsidiary operation (“CWR”) entered into a
purchase lease agreement with Circle D Trucking of Texas which includes a right
to purchase the leased equipment valued at $164,500. Payments of approximately
$10,000 have been made to date toward CWRs intent to purchase.
13.

October 1, 2010 EGPI Firecreek, Inc. the Company entered into a Definitive
Purchase/Exchange Agreement with Terra Telecom, LLC. (“Terra"). For further

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.
23
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 had 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 with key additional management team to begin this
process, and as a result on November 4, 2009, the Company acquired all of the
capital stock of South Atlantic Traffic Corporation, a Florida corporation,
(SATCO) which distributes a variety of products geared primarily towards the
transportation industry where it derives its revenues. In July 2010, the Company
entered into a Definitive Agreement with E-Views Safety Systems, Inc.
("E-Views") to be operated through its new subsidiary unit EGPI Firecreek
Acquisition Company, Inc. Initially the Company has a “Dealer Agreement” with
rights to acquire up to 51% of E-Views. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides
for up to a 51% interest in E-Views and exclusive distribution and sales rights
in various states. The Company has initially solidified rights for the states of
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and North Carolina. They have also obtained
international rights in the countries of Ireland and the United
Kingdom. These states were initially chosen because of our subsidiary
Southern Atlantic Traffic Corporation's, established clientele, and therefore
potential abilities to penetrate these markets with E-Views patented technology
and state-of-the-art products (see further discussion this Section). Recently in
October 2010, the Company executed a Securities Purchase / Exchange Agreement
(“SPA”) with the owners (“Sellers”) of Terra Telecom, LLC, an Oklahoma
limited liability company, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma ( “Terra”) to acquire all
of the outstanding stock of Terra, and 100% of the total LLC membership units
existing thereof. Terra Telecom is considered recognized as a leading provider
of state-of-the-art communication technologies and a premier Alcatel-Lucent
partner. They currently serve various sized companies and organizations that use
and deploy communications systems, sales, service, and training while
consolidating and optimizing the end user experience. Terra Telecom also works
with the United Nations delivering Alcatel voice products to several countries
and the Texas Dept. of Transportation, which will bring opportunities to the
Company through Terra’s various ITS/DOT opportunities in place with Alcatel
products. Terra employs approximately 40 personnel at the present
time.
Through
2009 we continued our previous decisions to limit and wind down the historical
pursuit of our oil and gas projects overseas in Central Asian and European
countries. In late 2009 and in 2010, the Company began pursuing a reentry to the
oil and gas industry and again as part of our strategic plans. The Company is
currently a party to a pending agreement to acquire an entity that owns
approximately 2,100 miles of a pipeline system initially used as a crude oil
transportation system by Koch Industries and, on December 31, 2009, the Company,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Energy Producers, Inc., (EPI) effectively
acquired a 50% working interest and corresponding 32% revenue interest in
certain oil and gas leases, reserves and equipment located in West Central
Texas, and the Company in its second quarter of operations 2010, acquired all
the stock of Chanwest Resources, LLC, (“Chanwest or CWR”) a Texas corporation,
engaged in the oil and gas servicing business, including construction, and
activities related to acquisition for the production and development for oil and
gas (see further discussion this Section).
The
Company has been making presentations to asset-based lenders and other financial
institutions for the purpose of (i) expanding and supporting our growth
potential by development of its new line of operations for M3, SATCO, EPI, CWR,
E-Views, and Terra or acquisitions by the Company that are vertically related to
M3, SATCO, EPI, CWR, E-Views, and Terra such as Redquartz and E-Views and or
Terra for SATCO and Chanwest for EPI, and (ii) building new infrastructure for
its oil and gas operations in 2009. The Company throughout its first quarter of
operations for 2010 has been pursuing projects for acquisition and development
of select targeted oil and gas proved producing properties with revenues, having
upside potential and prospects for enhancement, rehabilitation, and future
development. These prospects are primarily located in Eastern Texas, and in
other core areas of the Permian Basin.
The
Company’s goal is to rebuild 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:
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.
24
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 plans and strategy we are currently developing two
lines of business, one line of business for our 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 has a presence in the U.S. and Asia.
With a sales representative in China and offices in the U.S., the M3 team
through this footprint, as required, can effectively monitor price competition,
expediting product shipments and grow the business through sales. M3
can import both finished goods and sub-assemblies for domestic final assembly.
Through its experience, knowledge and contacts in the lighting and DOT industry,
M3 created a business plan to create a vertical rollup and stream of
acquisitions targeted strategically for the Company that included manufactures,
distributors and contractors. This change in strategy allowed the management and
key decision makers at M3 more time to focus on potential acquisitions who they
had done business with for numerous years. Focusing on the Obama Infrastructure
Stimulus funding that is being released for roadwork throughout the country; M3
is pursing companies that are involved in the lighting, traffic signs/signals
and ITS components of the industry. M3 is also actively pursuing
federal contracts to provide lighting and contracting through our partnership
with CST Federal who are a disabled veteran’s agency that bids government
contracts. 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.

Completion
and Entry into a Definitive Agreement with E-Views Safety Systems,
Inc.
On July
22, 2010 EGPI Firecreek, Inc. the Company entered into a Definitive Stock
Purchase Agreement with E-Views Safety Systems, Inc. ("E-Views") to be operated
through its new subsidiary unit EGPI Firecreek Acquisition Company, Inc.
Initially the Company has a “Dealer Agreement” with rights to acquire up to 51%
of E-Views (see Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to our Report on Form 10-Q for the period
ended June 30, 2010 filed on August 20, 2010, incorporated herein by
reference).
The Stock
Purchase Agreement provides for up to a 51% interest in E-Views and exclusive
distribution and sales rights in various states. The Company has initially
solidified rights for the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and North
Carolina. They have also obtained international rights in the countries of
Ireland and the United Kingdom. These states were initially chosen because
of our subsidiary Southern Atlantic Traffic Corporation's, established
clientele, and therefore potential abilities to penetrate these markets with
E-Views patented technology and state-of-the-art products.
Founded
in 1998, E-Views is a leading edge innovator and provider of patented advanced
wireless "smart infrastructure" technologies that incorporate intelligent
traffic, transit, and light rail systems with messaging and communications that
enable municipalities worldwide to provide first responder prioritization,
traffic congestion mitigation, emergency evacuation coordination, multi-agency
communications interoperability, nuclear/biological/chemical detection and data
reporting.
Additionally,
the California Institute of Technology ("CalTech") holds an equity position in
E-Views. The Technology Affiliates Agreement between E-Views and CalTech/Jet
Propulsion Laboratories ("JPL") is designed to commercialize leading-edge space
technology focused on public transportation and safety. Currently, CalTech
provides extensive resources to E-Views through JPL in the areas of advanced
Global Positioning Systems, Bio-Chemical Hazard Sensors, next generation
detection and warning technologies for railroad crossings, solar systems for
remote equipment on urban roadways, and extreme environment electronics for very
hot and cold climates. These technologies can be integrated into future products
to provide significant enhancements to public transportation and safety systems
and give E-Views a tremendous competitive advantage.
E-Views
currently owns 7 patents with an additional 6 patents pending giving them an
Intelligent Transportation Systems ("ITS") product that is one of the most
advanced Intersection Infrastructure Technologies available today. In 2006
E-Views received approval from Houston Transtar and implemented its first
multi-million dollar contract with the 3rd largest county in the U.S., Harris
County, Texas, for its EVP System. As a result of its success in Texas, E-Views
is quickly becoming the standard in ITS Systems for progressive municipalities
throughout North America. The company's sales are beginning to enjoy significant
growth as initial purchase orders have been received from as far north as
Montreal, Canada to Henderson, Nevada.
Completion
and Entry into a Definitive Agreement with Terra Telecom, LLC.
On
October 1, 2010, EGPI Firecreek, Inc. (“Purchaser”) executed a Securities
Purchase / Exchange Agreement (“SPA”) with the owners (“Sellers”) of Terra
Telecom, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, located at 4510 South 86th
East Ave, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74145 ( “Terra”) to acquire all of the outstanding
stock of Terra, and 100% of the total LLC membership units existing thereof. All
assets and liabilities of Terra, other than information listed in the SPA
are considered to be transferred to the Purchaser. For more information on
Terra, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 10.1 thereto filed
on August 7, 2010.
Terra
Telecom is considered recognized as a leading provider of state-of-the-art
communication technologies and a premier Alcatel-Lucent partner. They currently
serve various sized companies and organizations that use and deploy
communications systems, sales, service, and training while consolidating and
optimizing the end user experience. Terra is believed to have developed into an
industry leader in value creation for each of their clients and stakeholders.
Terra’s enterprise business has experienced exponential sales volume and revenue
growth since January 2005 with year to year revenue growth presented to us
averaging 46.6% over 2005, 2006 and 2007. In 2006 Terra relocated its company
headquarters to a 25,000 square foot facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This facility
provides Terra the space to continue growth and the ability to manage operations
throughout the nation. Terra Telecom also works with the United Nations
delivering Alcatel voice products to several countries and the Texas Dept. of
Transportation, which will bring opportunities to EGPI Firecreek, Inc. through
Terra’s various ITS/DOT opportunities in place with Alcatel products. Terra
employs approximately 40 personnel at the present time.
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
business through EPI, and including any new or pending acquisitions discussed
herein, and those business activities and developments related to our newest M3,
SATCO, EPI, CWR, RQTZ, TERRA, E-Views strategy and operations, and new
acquisitions, including new or pending acquisitions related to signalization and
lighting geared to the transportation industry. 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 in connection 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.

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 September 30, 2010. 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 September 30, 2010, that there are material weaknesses in our disclosure
controls and procedures and they were not effective for the following
reasons:
·
|
In
connection with the preparation of the Original Report, we identified a
deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures related to the
communications the appropriate personnel involved with our 2008 and 2009
audit. We are utilizing additional accounting consultants to
assist us in improving our controls and procedures. We believe these
measures will benefit us by reducing the likelihood of a similar event
occurring in the future.
|
·
|
Subsequent
to the filing of the Original report, we determined that we needed to
restate the financial statements contained in the Original Report and
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we filed for the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2009.
|
·
|
Due
to our relatively small size and not having present operations, we do not
have segregation of duties which is a deficiency in our disclosure
controls. We do not presently have the resources to cure this
deficiency.
|
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

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.

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.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As of the
date hereof, there are no material legal proceedings threatened against
us. In the ordinary course of our business we may become subject to
litigation regarding our products or our compliance with applicable laws, rules,
and regulations.
In April
2010 we received a lawsuit on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas Acuity
Brands Lighting Inc. (“Acuity”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed to
Acuity by SATCO. Bob Joyner, Stewart Hall and Michael Hunter were also named on
the lawsuit as each of the previous owners of SATCO had personal guarantees
contained in the agreement between Acuity and SATCO. The previous owners of
SATCO were indemnified for the personal guarantees in the Stock Purchase
Agreement between the Company and SATCO.
In July
2010 we received a lawsuit notice on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas
Pelco Products, Inc. (“Pelco”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed it
from SATCO in the total aggregate amount of $26,229.03, and subsequent thereto a
Default Journal Entry of Judgment was filed on September 3, 2010.
In May
2010 we received a lawsuit on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas Targetti
Poulsen USA Inc. (“Poulsen”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed to
Poulsen by SATCO. Southeast Underground Utilities Corp. (“SE Underground”) was
also named on the lawsuit as SE Underground is a customer of SATCO and had
failed to pay SATCO for materials ordered from Poulsen. Management is
confident that this matter will be resolved ultimately in SATCO’s favor and
since we do not believe we are at fault or liable, we intend to vigorously
defend our position. On August 16th, 2010 a default and final judgment was
awarded to Targetti Poulsen in the amount of $266,189.65. Due to the nature of
this claim and Southeast Underground's blatant non-payment to SATCO for amounts
owed, it is management's belief that the Company is not liable and is currently
exploring all appeal opportunities and processes.
In August
2010 we received a lawsuit notice on behalf of our SATCO subsidiary whereas
Bison Profab, Inc. (“BPI”) is seeking a judgment to collect amounts owed it from
SATCO. On October 12, 2010 BPI has filed a motion for a No-Answer Default
Judgment on SATCO and the Company for failure to answer in the amount of
approximately $27,710.28. The Company believes that it is not liable, and
intends to file for an appeal to remove it from the motion for
judgment.
