PART I
Forward-Looking Statements
This report of First Equity Properties, Inc. may contain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. These include statements regarding any future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs and capital expenditures, products, competitive positions, and plans and objectives of management for the future operations. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "intend" and "continue" or the negative of these terms and include the assumptions that underlie such statements. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks and uncertainties and other factors that might cause such differences, some of which could be material, including but not limited to economic and other market conditions, financing risks (such as the inability to obtain debt or equity financing on favorable terms), the level and volatility of interest rates, as well as other risks identified in this report, including those set forth in the section entitled Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors." All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to management as of the date hereof, and management assumes no obligation to update any such statements. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in this report.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
As used herein, the terms ("FEPI", "we", "us", "our", or "the Company") refer to First Equity Properties, Inc. a Nevada corporation organized on December 19, 1996.   FEPI is the successor-in-interest to WESPAC Investors Trust III, a California real estate investment trust ("WESPAC") originally established August 22, 1983.   The Company's fiscal year ends December 31 of each year.
Prior to January 1, 1997, the Company's business consisted of the management and operation of three motel properties in the Spokane, Washington area.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, the Company, through its subsidiaries, engaged in property, and real estate brokerage services.   Between October 1999 and May 2004, the Company and its subsidiaries conducted no substantial business, but remained available to engage in property management and real estate brokerage activities.
Effective May 1, 2004, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding common stock of a subsidiary company known as Carmel Realty, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Carmel") and a 99% limited partnership interest in Carmel Realty Services, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("CRSL") for an aggregate sale price of $2,072,540 (a basis equivalent to ten times capitalization of the management fees collected by Carmel and CRSL during 2003) to Regis. Regis paid cash of $250,000 to the Company and delivered a promissory note dated May 1, 2004 in the stated principal amount of $1,822,540 payable to the order of the Company on demand or, if no demand is made prior thereto, on December 31, 2011, with interest payable monthly as it accrues. This loan has been extended to December 31, 2015.  Such promissory note is secured by a pledge of the common stock of Carmel and the partnership interest of CRSL sold.
Beginning in 1999 the principal source of revenue for the Company was interest income on notes receivable due from affiliated and/or related parties.
Management of the Company is exploring alternatives, seeking to establish or acquire new business operations for the Company.  Management cannot predict or give any assurance that any new business enterprise will be acquired by the Company at any time in the near future.
 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in equity securities of the Company involves a high degree of risk as there is no active trading market for our securities and liquidity is not assured. You should carefully consider the following information keeping in mind that the matters described below are not the only potential risks that may affect the Company. Additional risks, which we do not presently consider material or of which we are not currently aware, may also have an adverse impact upon us.

4


Our governing documents contain anti-takeover provisions that make it difficult for a third party to seek to acquire control of the Company.
Certain provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Nevada law could, together or separately, discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring the Company, even if doing so might benefit stockholders. The provisions may also affect the price investors might be able to receive for their shares of the Company's common stock. Examples of these provisions are:
The right of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with rights and privileges, which are senior to the common stock, without prior stockholder approval.
Certain limitations upon the stockholders to make, adopt, alter, amend, change, or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation except by a vote of 66 2/3% of the holders of record of shares outstanding.
So-called business combination "control" requirements when the combination involves the Company and a person that beneficially owns 20% or more of the outstanding common stock, except under certain circumstances.
In addition, while one entity is currently the owner of approximately 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock, the likelihood of any offer to acquire a significant position in the Company's common stock is remote.
There is no established independent trading market for the shares of common stock of the Company.
No trading market presently exists for the shares of common stock and its value is therefore not determinable. Holders of our common stock do not have a vested right to redeem their shares, and therefore may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an emergency or otherwise. There simply is no active trading market for the shares of common stock, and accordingly, the transferability of such shares is limited at best.

The Company is managed by the Board of Directors.
Management has established the operating policies and procedures of the Company, which may be modified or waived by the Board of Directors without stockholder approval. The ultimate effect of any such changes may adversely affect future operations. The Company's business is conducted so as not to become a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act, which exempt entities that are "primarily engaged in the business of purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens on and interest in real estate".
The Company's primary source of income is from affiliated entities.
Our primary source of income is from related party entities. If any of these entities were to become insolvent or unable to pay their obligations, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.





ITEM 1.B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES
The Company's principal office is located at 1603 LBJ Freeway, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas 75234 in approximately 4,288 square feet of commercial office space.  The space is suitable and adequate for the purposes for which it is utilized.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Pursuant to the requirements of NRS 78.2055, on June 7, 2004, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company proposed and recommended to the stockholders a reverse-split on a 1-for-10 basis of the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share without any adjustment to the par value per share and without any reduction in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock at the same par value. The recommendation was submitted to the holder of approximately 75% of the outstanding Common Stock, Nevada Sea Investments, Inc. ("Nevada Sea"), which executed a written consent dated June 8, 2004, pursuant to NRS 78.320 adopting and approving the 1-for-10 reverse stock-split of the shares of Common Stock without any change in the par value and without any reduction in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation. The 1-for-10 reverse stock split was ultimately effective July 12, 2004, following the distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the other stockholders of the Company, and following the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company with the Secretary of State of Nevada. The CUSIP Number for the post-split shares is 320097-20-7.
Under the approved action, based upon the 10,570,944 old shares outstanding on the effective date of July 12, 2004, the 1-for-10 reverse stock-split decreased the number of outstanding shares by approximately 90% which, after giving effect to an upward adjustment or "rounding up" for any fractional shares, added 534 shares to result in 1,057,628 post-split shares outstanding. The 1-for-10 reverse stock-split did not adversely affect any stockholder's proportionate equity interest in the Company, subject to the provisions for elimination of fractional shares by rounding up to the next whole share which slightly increased the proportionate holdings of all stockholders other than Nevada Sea. Each post-split share continues to be entitled to one vote, as was the case with each outstanding old share.
In connection with the implementation of a 1-for-10 reverse stock-split, no certificate or script representing any fractional share interest was issued, but a holder of the old shares received in lieu of any fraction of a post-split share to which the holder would otherwise have been entitled a single, whole post-split share on a "rounding up" basis without regard to any price. The result of this "rounding up" process increased slightly the holdings of those stockholders who held a number of old shares which were not evenly divisible by ten, resulting in an increase of 534 shares.
FEPI's old shares of Common Stock, while available for trading in the over-the-counter market, to the knowledge of Management, have not had any material trading activity since their initial issuance in 1997. The old shares were issued pursuant to the terms of the Modified Plan in the bankruptcy proceeding styled In Re: WESPAC Investors Trust III, Case No. 94-00228-K-11 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The CUSIP Number of the old shares was 320097-10-8. The shares of beneficial interest of WESPAC Investors Trust III traded through the first quarter of 1988, and at one time, were quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System ("NASDAQ"). Since the cessation of trading on NASDAQ, there has been no established, independent trading market for the shares of beneficial interest of WESPAC or the old shares of Common Stock of FEPI as the successor, or the new shares of Common Stock of the Company after giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split
No cash dividends have been declared or paid during the period from January 1, 1994 to the present on either the shares of Beneficial Interest of the Trust or the old shares of Common Stock of FEPI as the successor or the new shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split.
As of December 31, 2015, the 1,057,628 post-split shares of Common Stock of FEPI issued and outstanding were held by approximately 1,800 holders of record.
During the three years ended December 31, 2015, FEPI did not issue or sell any securities, nor did FEPI purchase any of its equity securities. The Board of Directors has not authorized any stock repurchase program.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion is not an all-inclusive discussion of our operations. The information provided relates to significant items, which Management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements presented and the notes to the financial statements as included in this Form 10K.

Results of Operations
FEPI's sole source of income is from the interest received on related party receivables and its operating expenses are professional and administrative fees.
Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period ended 2014.
The Company recognized net income of $11,570 in 2015 compared to a net loss of ($3,586) in 2014.  This change was primarily due to a decrease in the recognition of interest expense to related parties due to principal pay down on the notes partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of interest income from related parties due to some principal pay down.
 
 
7

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period ended 2013.
The Company recognized a net loss of ($3,586) in 2014 compared to net income of $10,607 in 2013.  This change was primarily due to the decrease in the recognition of interest income from related parties due to some principal pay down partially offset by a decrease in the recognition of interest expense to related parties also due to some principal pay down on the notes.
         A substantial asset concentration relates to notes receivables from related party entities which is the primary source of income consisting of interest on such receivables.  Any adverse conditions affecting the financial condition of any of these entities, specifically their ability to service the debt obligation owed, could have a severe adverse impact upon the financial statements of the Company.  However, as the entities are "related parties" to the Company, management of the Company is generally aware of the related parties' financial condition. The entities are currently not in default on their obligations and management does not consider it necessary at this time to provide other financial information for such entities.  However, management of the Company is aware of the circumstances and any conditions that might impact the ability of such "related parties" to meet their respective obligations. Management of the Company considers the collectability of such obligations to not be a question at this time.
Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity
General
Our primary source of liquidity is from proceeds from accrued interest on notes receivables from related party entities. At December 31, 2015, we had total assets of $2,107,096. Our overall liabilities have decreased as compared to prior year. The decrease in liabilities is due to some pay down on the note principal. We feel that our cash from operations is sufficient to provide for our current cash flow needs.
Cash flow analysis
The following summary discussion of our cash flows are based on the Statements of Cash Flows as presented in this Form 10-K and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows.
2015 as compared to 2014 – The overall cash flow remained static as compared to the year ended 2014.  The Company received payment of some principal and interest on notes receivable and paid some principal and interest on notes payable during 2015.
2014 as compared to 2013 – The overall cash flow remained static as compared to the year ended 2013.  However, the Company received payment of some principal and interest on notes receivable and paid some principal and interest on notes payable during 2014.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any further contractual obligations and commitments in regards to payments of operating leases.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property) where any property-level manager in the employee of a subsidiary of the Company may have arranged for the removal, disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets, or results of operations.
Inflation
The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable. To the extent that inflation affects interest rates, the Company's earnings from any short-term investments and the cost of new financings as well as the cost of variable rate financing will be affected.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, which may adversely affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposures through its regular operating activities. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and is not a party to any leveraged financial instruments.
 
 
8

Based upon the Company's market risk sensitive instruments (including variable rate debt) outstanding at December 31, 2015, the Company has determined that there was no material market risk exposure to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of such date.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Financial Statements, together with an index thereto, are attached hereto following the signature page to this report.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
A review and evaluation was performed by management under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of December 31, 2015. Based upon that most recent evaluation, which was completed as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at December 31, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files submits under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and forms. As a result of this evaluation, there were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
First Equity Properties, Inc.
Dallas, Texas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of First Equity Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in the notes to the financial statements, First Equity Properties, Inc. has significant transactions with and balances due to and from affiliates.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Equity Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2015, and 2014 the results of its operations, changes in stockholder's equity and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FIRST EQUITY PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.


22


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.

NOTE B -NOTES RECEIVABLE AND ACCRUED INTEREST – RELATED PARTIES
             Receivables from related parties primarily consist of two notes of $1,565,292 and $489,154 which are payable in quarterly installments of interest only. The notes accrue interest at 10% per annum.  The maturity date of these notes has been extended to December 31, 2017.

NOTE D -INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary timing differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities reflected on the financial statements and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of temporary differences and net operating loss carry forwards that give rise to the deferred tax assets.  The Company had ($12,882) in NOL carry forward from 2012 that it utilized in 2013 and 2015.
 
          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.

The following table presents the principal reasons for the differences between the Company's effective tax rate and the United States statutory income tax rate.

The Company's Forms 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Returns, for the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 are subject to examination, by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.
NOTE E -FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable related parties, notes receivable related parties and accounts payable related parties approximate fair value due to short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

 
NOTE F -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any actions that could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

NOTE G -COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") No. 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income, (ASC 220), requires that total comprehensive income be reported in the financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company's comprehensive income was equal to its net income and the Company does not have income meeting the definition of other comprehensive income.

NOTE I -RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has historically engaged in and may continue to engage in certain business transactions with related parties, including but not limited to asset acquisition, dispositions, interest income, interest expense and general and administrative expenses.  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 best interest of our company.

NOTE J –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

              The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 19, 2016, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there has been a subsequent payment made in March 2016 for interest on notes receivable.
