NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

First Equity Properties, Inc. (“FEPI”, “The Company”, “We”, “Us”, or “Our”) is the successor in interest to WESPAC Investors Trust III, a California real estate investment trust (“WESPAC”) originally established August 22, 1983. FEPI is a Nevada Corporation. Our Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

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, and accordingly, 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 sheets, statements of operations, statements of shareholders’ equity and statements of cash flows, have been included. 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, 2009.

Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

NOTE 2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The accompanying interim unaudited 2010 financial statements contain an estimated accrual for current federal income taxes calculated using the graduated tax rate as published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The second quarter tax accrual was calculated base on a rate of 15%. In addition, the deferred tax asset was analyzed and determined to be unchanged.

 

NOTE 3. LEASES

The Company has a long term operating lease commitment with an affiliated entity, Income Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc. (“IOT”) an affiliated entity. The lease extends through October 31, 2011. The total lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $52,427 which is included in General and Administrative expenses of the Statements of Operations.

 

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis due to the absence of free market forces that naturally exist in business dealings between two or more unrelated entities. Related party transactions may not always be favorable to our business and may include terms, conditions and agreements that are not necessarily beneficial to or in the best interests of our company.

The Company has a lease agreement with IOT, an affiliated entity. The lease commenced November 1, 2008 and extends through October 31, 2011, see Note 3. Leases.

The Company has an administrative agreement with Prime Income Asset Management, Inc., an affiliated entity, for accounting and administrative services. The total expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $22,500 which is included in General and Administrative expenses of the Statements of Operations.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “project”, “result”, “should”, “will” and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they

Table of Contents

are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Results of Operations

The following discussion is based on our Statement of Operations within our Financial Statements as presented in Part 1, Item 1 of this report for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The discussion is not meant to be an all inclusive discussion of the changes within our operations. Instead, we have focused on the significant items relevant to obtain an understanding of the changes in our operations.

Our sole source of income is from interest on notes receivables from two affiliated entities. The ability of these entities to make payments on these note obligations is imperative for us to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company is generally aware of the financial condition of the affiliated entities and believes that no impairment reserve is necessary regarding the collectability of the notes.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period ended 2009.

We reported a net income applicable to common shareholders of $4,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a net income to common shareholders of $9,492 for the same period ended 2009.

The decrease in net income was due to an increase in General and Administrative expenses as compared to the period ended 2009. Income tax expense decreased due to the decrease in earnings.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to the same period ended 2009.

We reported a net income applicable to common shareholders of $16,824 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to a net income to common shareholders of $23,373 for the same period ended 2009.

The decrease was due to an increase in General and Administrative expenses as compared to the period ended 2009. Income tax expense decreased due to the reduction in earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are funding of normal recurring expenses including interest expense, leases, legal and administrative fees, and federal income tax payments.

Our principal source of cash is proceeds from interest income on our notes receivables.

The following significantly impacted our balance sheet as of September 30, 2010:

 

   

Our notes receivable and accrued interest – affiliates increased as we did not collect the interest owed us on those notes.

 

   

Our accounts payables and accrued interest – affiliates decreased due to the payment of interest expense.

Cash Flow Summary

The following summary discussion of our cash flow is based on the statements of cash flows as presented in Item 1 and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flow.

We had no significant change in cash from operating activities as compared to prior year.

We anticipate that our cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to provide for our current cash flow needs.

ITEM 4T.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation by our management (with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized

and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and are effective in ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
