ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1.      ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

First Equity Properties Inc. ( “FEPI”) is Nevada based corporation organized in December 19, 1996 and the company is headquartered in Dallas, TX.  FEPI is a publicly traded company however, no trading market presently exists for the shares of common stock and its value is therefore not determinable.

 

The Company’s principal line of business and source of revenue has been earnings on investment and interest on notes receivable. During 2010 and 2011 the Company purchased certain parcels of land for potential future sale or development.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring matters) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The year-end Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010, was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

Cost capitalization

 

Costs related to planning and developing a project are capitalized and classified as Real Estate development costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We capitalized certain operating expenses until development is substantially complete, but no later than one year from the cessation of major development activity.

 

Newly issued accounting pronouncements

 

We have considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that are applicable to our operations and the preparation of our statements, including that which we have not yet adopted.  We do not believe that any such guidance will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operation.
