NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by First Equity Properties, Inc. (the Company) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
NOTE B DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), established a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets including discontinued operations. This statement requires that the operations related to segments that have been sold, or segments that are intended to be sold, be presented as discontinued operations in the statement of operations for all periods presented, and the segments intended to be sold are to be designated as held for sale on the balance sheet. In the event of a future asset sale, the company is required to reclassify portions of previously reported operations to discontinued operations within the Statements of Operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, income from discontinued operations related to the disposition of subsidiaries providing management services.
In May 2004, the Company sold the subsidiaries of the Company that provided management services for total consideration of $2,072,540. In the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company recorded an impairment of $37,931,116, representing the write down of certain assets of those two subsidiaries that provided the management services to the value agreed to between the related party buyer and seller. The primary asset written down was the investment in preferred stock of an affiliate.

The results of discontinued operations of the subsidiaries consisted of the following for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004:

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to three months ended March 31, 2004
Revenues from operations increased to $59,365 from prior year of $14,587 due to increased interest income because of the new note receivable that was in place in 2005 that was not there in 2004. Total operating expenses decreased to $5,511 in 2005 from $5,673 in 2004. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a slight reduction in legal and professional fees in 2005.
The discontinued operations in 2004 represent the income from the management contracts of the subsidiaries that were sold in May 2004.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
At March 31, 2005, the Company had total assets of $2,685,063 compared to $2,631,209 at December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents were $2,611. The increase in assets results from the accrual of interest receivable on the notes receivable.
Total liabilities remained the same from December 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Within the 90 days prior to the date of 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 and Acting Chief Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon the evaluation, the Companys Vice President, Treasurer and Acting Chief Accounting 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 significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Companys internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out this evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
