NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A. - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of First Equity Properties, Inc., all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of First Equity Properties, Inc.s balance sheet, statement of earnings and statement of cash flows, have been included.
The financial statements for the period September 30, 2006 do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America for complete financial statements. You should read these financial statements in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Hereafter in this document, First Equity Properties, Inc. is referred to as FEPI.
Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The accompanying unaudited 2006 financial statements contain an accrual for current federal income taxes calculated using annualized net income of approximately of $200,000. Using an estimated tax rate of 34%, the estimated tax liability for the year would be approximately $68,000, of this $53,957 is included as current income tax expense in the accompanying unaudited 2006 financial statements, which represents three quarters of the estimated tax liability for the year. There are no significant differences between the Companys net income for financial and income tax reporting.
The Company has determined that it would be able to use its prior year net operating loss carryforward in the current year. The valuation allowance account that offsets the deferred tax asset associated with the $40,000 net operating loss was removed. This resulted in an estimated deferred tax benefit of $13,600 as reflected in the accompanying unaudited 2006 financial statements. Of this amount, $10,200 has been used to offset the current estimated tax liability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
The sole source of income is from interest on notes receivables from affiliated entities. The average income received from interest is approximately $60,000 and $180,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
The major operating expenses are related to the professional fees required to maintain the organization. These expenses are relatively consistent and comparable to prior periods. The increase in income tax expense is due to the company using all of its net operating loss (NOL) tax credit carryforwards except for $40,000. The Company is using a tax rate of 34% to estimate the effect of the NOL to offset the current income tax expense.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Total assets as of September have decreased from $2,472,253 to $2,417,703 for 2005 and 2006, respectively. The decrease was due to the receipt of interest accrued on the notes. The Companys significant assets consist of two notes receivables from affiliated parties which total $2,407,540.
The Company is anticipating paying federal income taxes of $68,000 and has accrued a liability of $43,758, net of tax credits to date. The increase in tax liability is due to the company using its remaining tax credits in prior year to offset its prior year tax expense.
The payable as of September 30 consists of affiliated payables of $2,053,980 and $1,847,980 for 2005 and 2006, respectively. The Company has paid down $206,000 of this obligation for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) | As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Vice President, Treasurer, Chief Financial and Accounting Officer and Acting Principal Executive Officer of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Vice President, Treasurer, Chief Financial and Accounting Officer and Acting Principal Executive Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys periodic SEC filings. |
(b) | There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Companys internal controls over financial reporting. |
