NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The information  including in the condensed  financial  statements is unaudited,
but includes all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring items) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair representation of the interim
period presented.

Development stage company

The Company is a new enterprise in the development stage as defined by Statement
No. 7 of the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board and has not engaged in any
business other than  organizational  efforts.  It has no full-time employees and
owns no real  property.  The  Company  intends  to seek to  acquire  one or more
existing   businesses  which  have  existing   management,   through  merger  or
acquisition,  that may have  potential for profit,  and to that end,  intends to
acquire properties or businesses, or a controlling interest therein.  Management
of the Company will have  virtually  unlimited  discretion  in  determining  the
business activities in which the Company might engage.

Accounting Method
The Company records income and expenses on the accrual method.

Fiscal Year
The Company has selected a June 30 fiscal year end.

Loss Per Share
Loss per share was  computed  using the  weighted  number of shares  outstanding
during the period.

Organization Costs
Organizational costs are stated at cost and have been expensed as incurred.

Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of the  statement of cash flows,  the Company  considers all highly
liquid debt instruments  purchased with an original  maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates
The  preparation  of the  Company's  financial  statements  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting  principles  requires the Company's  management to
make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  effect the  amounts  reported  in these
financial  statements and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Stock Basis
Shares of common  stock  issued for other than cash have been  assigned  amounts
equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

2.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares with a
par value of $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2003 the Company had 2,575,000
shares outstanding.

Preferred Stock.

The authorized Preferred Stock of the Company consists of 40,000,000 shares with
a par value of $0.001 per share. No preferred shares have been issued.

3.  INCOME TAXES

There is no  provision  for  income  taxes  for the  period  from  June 3,  1999
(inception)  to  December  31,  2003  due to the  zero  net  income  and the net
operating loss carryforward.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The  Company  remains  in  the  development  stage,  and  since  inception,  has
experienced  no  significant   change  in  liquidity  or  capital  resources  or
stockholders' equity.

The Company  will carry out its plan of business to seek out and take  advantage
of business  opportunities  that may have potential for profit, and acquire such
businesses,  or a controlling  interest  therein.  The Company cannot predict to
what extent its liquidity and capital  resources will be diminished prior to the
consummation  of a business  combination  or whether its capital will be further
depleted  by the  operating  losses (if any) of the  business  entity  which the
Company may eventually acquire.

Results of Operations.


During the period from June 3, 1999 (inception)  through September 30, 2003, the
Company has engaged in no significant  operations  other than the acquisition of
capital and registering its securities  under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.  The Company has received $200 revenue during this period. The
Company  has  experienced  a net loss of $0 since  inception.  The  Company  had
previously  borrowed  $200 from its  principal  shareholder  in order to pay its
general and administrative expenses.

The Company  anticipates that until a business  combination is completed with an
acquisition  candidate,  it will not  generate  revenues,  and may  continue  to
operate at a loss after  completing a business  combination,  depending upon the
performance of the acquired business.
Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
the Company's  operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers
of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash. In August,  the Company issued
1,575,000 common shares at par value for services  rendered to the Company.  The
Company  approved $900 credit to Rita Thomas for services to the company against
the $900 stock subscription debt owed by Ms. Thomas.

On July 29, 2003,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with Safe  Solutions,
Inc., as Texas corporation  engaged in the manufacturer skin products containing
prickly pear cactus juice.  Safe Solutions  agreed to exchange  2,729,239 common
shares, which represents all of its outstanding shares of common stock, with the
par value of $0.0001, to procure 2,729,239 shares of common stock of Mill Creek,
which represents 51.45% of the issued,  and outstanding stock of Mill Creek. For
federal  income  tax  purposes,   the  Exchange  is  intended  to  constitute  a
reorganization  within the  meaning of Section  368(a) of the  Internal  Revenue
Code. The exchange  agreement is subject to the approval of the  shareholders of
both companies. On September 24, 2003, the shareholders of Safe Solutions,  Inc.
approved the exchange agreement with the Company. The Company is proceeding with
the audit of Safe  Solutions,  Inc.  and will be filing  its Form 8-K  within an
estimated 30 days.

Need for Additional Financing.

The Company  believes  that its existing  capital will be sufficient to meet the
Company's  cash needs,  including  the costs of compliance  with the  continuing
reporting  requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  for
approximately  three  months.  Thereafter,  the company will require  additional
working capital unless it has completed a business  combination.  Thus, there is
no assurance that the available funds will  ultimately  prove to be adequate for
the Company's  operations.  Although no  commitments  to provide funds have been
made by management or other  stockholders,  it is  anticipated  that the Company
would seek loans or additional capital contributions from its existing principal
shareholders in the event it requires additional working capital. However, there
can be no assurance  that other funds will be  available to cover the  Company's
expenses.
