SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

From 2010 through April 2012, the Company engaged in the business of investing in real estate and purchased land held for investment or sale.

Our current source of revenue consists of interest on notes receivables from related party entities. Any adverse conditions that could affect the financial condition of these entities, and specifically their ability to service debt obligation owed, could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Organization and Business

First Equity Properties, Inc. is a Nevada based corporation organized in December 19, 1996 and the Company is headquartered in Dallas, TX. The Company’s principal line of business and source of revenue is currently investments and interest on notes receivable. 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.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting for income taxes. In the event differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, ASC 740 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance is provided for a portion or all of the deferred tax assets when there is an uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to recognize the benefits of the assets in future years. Recognition of the benefits of deferred tax assets will require the Company to generate future taxable income. There is no assurance that the Company will generate earnings in future years. Since management could not determine the likelihood that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized no deferred tax asset was recognized by the Company.

Earnings (loss) per Share

Earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) No. 260, Earnings per Share (ASC 260), which was adopted in 1997 for all years presented. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS does not apply to the Company due to the absence of dilutive potential common shares. The adoption of ASC 260 had no effect on previously reported EPS.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

The company presents its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed its accounting guidance codification project. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective for the Company’s financial statements issued subsequent to June 30, 2009 and is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. As of the effective date, the company will no longer refer to the authoritative guidance dictating its accounting methodologies under the previous accounting standards hierarchy. Instead, the Company will refer to the ASC Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The company values its financial instruments as required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. These provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For notes receivable, impairment is considered to exist if it is probable that all amounts due under the terms of the note will not be collected. The note receivable review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such note. If impairment is found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings. We did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
