SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2005

NOTE 1 - Basis of presentation and Going Concern

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 were filed on May 18, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is hereby referenced. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Going concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $8,788,687 as of March 31, 2005. The Company reported a net loss of $308,610 on March 31, 2005. The continuing losses continue to adversely affect the Company’s liquidity. The Company continues to face significant business risks including, but not limited to, its ability to maintain vendor and supplier relationships by making timely payments when due.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management intends to refinance existing properties and use the proceeds to fund operating shortfalls. There are no assurances that the refinancing will occur or that the cash it generates will be adequate to meet the Company’s cash requirements, which will affect the Company’s ability to continue to operate. In addition, the Company intends to raise additional funds through a private placement of its securities. However, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - Nature of Operations
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on November 22, 1978. On July 23, 2002, the shareholders approved a change in domicile from Utah to Nevada. In accordance with Nevada corporate law, a change of domicile is effected by merging the foreign corporation with and into a Nevada corporation. On August 9, 2002, a merger between the Company and Book Corporation of America was completed. Upon completion of the merger Book Corporation of America was dissolved. On September 18, 2002, the OTCBB symbol for the Company’s common stock was changed from BCAM to SCDI. The shareholders also approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of the Company’s Common Stock from $.005 to $.001 and to authorize 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01.

changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
 
During 2002, the Company began pursuing the acquisition of ownership interests in real estate properties that are geographically and functionally diverse in order to be more stable and less susceptible to devaluation resulting from regional economic downturns and market shifts. Currently, the Company owns shopping centers in Dickinson, North Dakota; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Orange, California; the Company also owns a single story office building in Newport Beach, California and an undeveloped vacant lot in Dickinson, North Dakota. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring properties in markets with strong regional economies. However, there are no certainties that the Company will be able to acquire any properties unless it raises capital.
 
NOTE 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, which include Diversified Commercial Brokers (DCB) LLC (53.8%), Nationwide Commercial Brokers, Inc. (100%) - with limited operations to date; Decatur Center LLC (100%) - an inactive company; and Diversified Commercial Mortgage LLC (100%) - an inactive company. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures; for example, the estimated useful lives of assets and the fair value of real property. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Credit and concentration risk. The Company maintains deposit accounts in numerous financial institutions. From time to time, cash deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains a certificate of deposit, in excess of federal deposit insurance limits, as collateral for a line of credit.
 
Revenue recognition. The Company’s revenues are derived from rental income and brokerage commission fees derived from the sale of third party real estate transactions. Rental revenues are recognized in the period services are provided. Brokerage commission fees are recognized when revenue is received.
 
Cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments, that are readily convertible to known amounts within ninety days as cash equivalents. The Company currently has no such investments.
 
Restricted cash. The Company is required by a lender to maintain a $70,000 deposit in a bank account at the lenders financial institution. The deposit and 1st trust deed on real property serve as collateral for the loan. The deposit is returnable subject to the borrower meeting certain payment and financial reporting conditions. The Company also maintains a $400,000 deposit in a bank as collateral for a line of credit of $400,000.
 
Property and equipment. Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
 
Investments. The equity method of accounting is used for all investments in associated companies in which the company’s interest is 20% or more. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its
 
 

SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2005
 
 
share in the net earnings or losses of these associated companies as they occur rather than as dividends are received. Dividends received are accounted for as a reduction of the investment rather than as dividend income. Losses from the equity investments reduce receivables from the associated companies.
 
Fair value. The carrying value for cash, prepaid, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.
 
Long-lived assets. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. 
 
Issuance of shares for service. The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services. The stocks were valued at the average fair market value of the freely trading shares of the Company as quoted on OTCBB on the date of issuance.

Loss per share. Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, all potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of which was antidilutive.

Reclassification. For comparative purposes, prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current period.

Advertising. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

Segment Reporting. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Recent accounting pronouncements. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "ACCOUNTING IN CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES." EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however the disclosure

requirements remain effective for annual reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company will evaluate the impact of EITF 03-01 once final guidance is issued.

NOTE 11 - Stockholders’ Equity
 
In February 2003, the Company created three series of preferred stock, all of which are convertible at the option of the holder: (1) Series A consisting of 7,500,000 shares with a par value of $0.01, a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, convertible into an equal number of common shares 36 months after issuance, with the same voting rights as common stock; (2) Series B consisting of 20,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.01, a liquidation preference of $0.50 per share, and convertible into an equal number of common shares 24 months after issuance; and (3) Series C consisting of 22,500,000 shares with a par value of $0.01, a liquidation preference of $3.00 per share, and convertible into an equal number of common shares 24 months after issuance. In the event the price of common stock is less than the purchase price of the preferred stock on the conversion date, the holder is entitled to convert at a rate equal to the purchase price divided by the common stock price.
 
On August 19, 2004, the Company obtained a written consent from the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to amend the Certificate of Designation. Such consent amends the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock to permit the Board of Directors to permit conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock prior to the expiration of the two-year prohibition on conversion. All 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock also consented to the amendment. The amendment to the Certificate of Designation became effective October 28, 2004. After approval to amend the Certificate of Designation, 5,839,479 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock.

NOTE 12- Commitment and Contingencies
 
Deferred maintenance. The Company has determined that T-Rex Plaza Mall needs repairs to its roof, heating and air conditioning ventilation units, the facade and parking lot. During 2004 the Company spent $29,500 repairing the parking lot. The estimated costs for said repairs are between $250,000 and $350,000.
 
Lease agreements. The Company is obligated under various ground leases (T-Rex Plaza Mall, Katella Center, and 5030 Campus), which include CPI increases, and an office lease requiring monthly payments through 2053.
 
Officer employment agreements. During 2003, the Company executed employment agreements with its officers that extend through 2006. The employment agreements provide for the issuance of common stock and options vesting over the term of the agreement and expire 10 years from the date of grant. The Board did not approve the Stock Incentive Plan until late in 2003; therefore, no options were granted or stock issued during 2003. The options, once granted, are convertible to common stock at $0.15/share. Twenty-five percent of the options vest immediately and the remaining options vest ratably over the term of the agreements on each officer’s anniversary date. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company is obligated to issue 1,100,000 shares of common stock and grant 2,500,000 options. At March 31, 2005, approximately $674,197 in officers’ salaries and $36,647 in Directors’ compensation were unpaid. No amount was expensed related to the options granted as the exercise price per share exceeded the market price per share on the effective date of grant.

Unpaid taxes. The Company has not paid approximately $10,039 in 2004 property taxes on the T-Rex Plaza Mall due March 1, 2005, and approximately $11,495 in property taxes and penalties on 5030 Campus Drive due December 10, 2004. These amounts are currently delinquent.
 
Litigation. On January 11, 2005, the Company terminated the employment of Luis Leon, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On April 6, 2005, Luis Leon filed a complain against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, alleging causes of action for breach of contract, promissory estoppels, intentional misrepresentation, violations of the California Labor Code. The Complaint seeks damages in an amount including $116,359 of unpaid salary, $16,667 for one month unpaid vacation time, $5,548.27 for unpaid insurance benefits through August 15, 2005, reimbursable expenses of $288plus a statutory penalty of $16,666. Mr. Leon also seeks a grant of options to purchase $250,000 of Company Common Stock. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action. Given the early stage of litigation, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome cannot reasonably be estimated, however, the estimated amount of the potential loss is approximately $140,000 plus costs of defense.
 
Annual minimum lease payments for the next five years under existing agreements are as follows:

2006
358,416
2007
281,434
2008
285,007

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company appearing elsewhere in this report.

The Company currently owns and manages a portfolio of four improved real estate properties (three retail shopping centers and one single-story office building) and one unimproved parcel of land. The five properties are located in Las Vegas, Nevada; Dickinson, North Dakota; and Orange County, California.

Recent Developments
 
On January 11, 2005, the Company terminated the employment of Luis Leon, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On April 6, 2005, the Company was served with a Complaint in the matter of Luis Leon v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 05CC04651), filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange.

On February 28, 2005, the Company received a letter of resignation from Pamela Padgett, effective as of February 22, 2005. Ms. Padgett served on the Audit Committee. The Company does not believe that any disagreement between Ms. Padgett and the Company exists or was the reason for the resignation.

On March 1, 2005, the Company sold its remaining membership interest of 63% in Spencer Springs, LLC to William S. Biddle, a director and officer of the Company. The sole asset of Spencer Springs, LLC was the promissory note of Roger Anderson received in the sale of the Spencer Springs Shopping

Center. The purchase price for the membership interests was $300,000 plus a promissory note for $277,777 due October 28, 2007, bearing interest at 3% per annum. The promissory note was paid on May 2, 2005.

On April 5, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed Clifford L. Strand as the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Strand resigned his position as President. The Company then entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Jan Wallace to serve as the President for a term of six months, subject to earlier termination. Ms. Wallace is a principal of Wallace Black Financial & Investment Services (“WB”), which has been engaged as a consultant to perform certain investor relations and public relations tasks. Pursuant to the consulting agreement with WB, the Company has agreed to pay a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, of which $8,500 will be paid to Ms. Wallace for her services as an officer of the Company. In addition, the Company has granted WB 400,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and options to purchase 400,000 additional shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 per share to $2.00 per share. In consideration for her services as President, Ms. Wallace will also receive approximately 54,900 shares of Common Stock per month during her service. Biographical information on Ms. Black is contained in the Company’s 10KSB, filed earlier this year.
 
Results of Operations 
 
Income. Income consists of rental income from commercial properties pursuant to tenant leases and brokerage commission earned on purchases and sales. As a result of these operations, the Company had income of $238,359 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 as compared to income of 145,452 earned during the same period of 2004. The increase was due largely to an increase in Brokerage commissions earned during the current period.
 
General and Administrative Expenses. Operating and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll expenses, legal and accounting fees and costs associated with the acquisition and ownership of real properties. These expenses increased to $815,738 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005, from $446,469 for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. The increase in costs is attributable to prepaid consulting fees, accrued payroll expense, and accounting and legal fees. The primary components of such expenses were payroll, real estate commissions, land leases, and professional fees. Management anticipates that operating and administrative expenses will continue at this rate or higher throughout the remainder of 2005 as the Company seeks to acquire additional real estate holdings, obtain capital and expand its operations.
 
Depreciation. Depreciation for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 was $11,864 compared to $39,168 in depreciation for the same period year ended December 31, 2004. The depreciation was attributable primarily to the Katella Business Center, 5030 Campus Drive, and furniture fixtures, and equipment.
 
Interest and Other Expense. Interest expense consists of mortgage interest paid on the Company’s properties. Interest expense was $51,762 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 compared to $97,778 for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. The decrease was attributable to the reduction on real debt due to the sale of the Hospitality Inn, and the Spencer Springs Shopping Center.
 
Net Loss. Our net loss was $308,610 or $(0.03) per share — basic and diluted — for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 compared to a net loss of $544,015 or $(0.08) per share — basic and diluted — for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. A reduction in the loss is attributable to the Company’s sale of its interest in Spencer Springs, LLC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Capital Resources
 
The Company does not have significant cash or other liquid assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. Moreover, the Company does not currently have a financial institution as a source of financing. The Company anticipates that it will be dependent for a significant period of time on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses, to meet debt service obligations, and to fund additional property acquisitions before achieving profitability. Since its inception, the Company has covered its capital requirement shortfall through additional financing from its larger shareholders. Because of the Company’s current negative equity position, fund-raising from non-affiliated third parties may be difficult resulting in continued reliance upon funding from its larger shareholders. These larger shareholders, however, are under no obligations and have made no commitments to continue to fund the Company.

At March 31, 2005, the Company had $42,042 of cash and cash equivalents to meet its immediate short-term liquidity requirements. To date, the Company has paid no dividends and does not anticipate paying dividends into the foreseeable future.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash used by operating activities was $ 677,711 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $191,629 for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities relative to the prior period was primarily due to the disposal of the Company’s interest in Spencer Springs, LLC.
 
Management is currently considering potential opportunities to acquire real estate. The decision to acquire one or more properties or investments in unconsolidated real estate will generally depend upon (i) receipt of a satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal, (ii) an absence of any material adverse change relating to the property, its tenants, or local economic conditions, and (iii) adequate financing. There is no assurance that any of these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied, that the Company will purchase any additional properties or make any further investments in unconsolidated real estate.
 
Cash Flows From in Investing Activities
 
Net cash from investing activities amounted to $576,168 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 compared to a negative $400,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2004, primarily from the sale of the Company’s interest in its subsidiary, Spencer Springs, LLC and a reduction in the purchase of equipment and a second trust deed.
 
At March 31, 2005, the Company does not have any material planned capital expenditures resulting from any known demand based on existing trends. However, management may conclude that expenditures to improve properties are necessary and/or desirable. The Company’s shopping center in Dickinson, North Dakota will require further expenditures for improvement.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $108,152 for the quarter ending March 31, 2005 compared to $200,027 for the quarter ending March 31, 2004. The primary reason for the decrease was attributable to no sales of stock and reduction in notes payable.
 
 
6
 
 
The Company intends to acquire additional properties and make additional investments in unconsolidated real estate and may seek to fund these acquisitions through proceeds received from a combination of subsequent equity offerings, debt financings or asset dispositions.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
 
 The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company believes that its critical accounting policies are those that require significant judgments and estimates such as those related to revenue recognition and allowance for uncollectible receivables and impairment of real estate assets and deferred assets. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.  
 
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables
 
Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective lease agreements. Differences between rental income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are credited or charged, as applicable, to rent receivable. The Company maintains, as necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments that will result in a reduction to income. Management determines the adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant receivables considering the tenant’s financial condition, security deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic conditions.
 
Impairment of Real Estate Assets 
 
The Company assesses the impairment of a real estate asset when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be recoverable. Indicators management considers important that could trigger an impairment review include the following:
 
§  
a significant negative industry or economic trend;
§  
a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operation results; and
§  
a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used.

Item 3.     Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2005. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Clifford L. Strand, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Munjit Johal. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are
 
 
7
 
 
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

On January 24, 2005, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary Schedule 14C followed by a definitive Schedule 14C on February 4, 2005. These Schedules were to announce the holding of an annual shareholder meeting on February 23, 2005. At the meeting the shareholders were asked to vote on:

1.  
An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to provide for a staggered Board of Directors comprised of three classes of Directors;
2.  
To elect seven (7) members to the Board of Directors and to place them into one of the three classes;
3.  
To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Because the Schedule used was incorrect and because of other inaccuracies in the process, Management has decided to review the process and hold a new meeting of shareholders during the second quarter of 2005 to consider all pertinent matters.

Item 5.     Other Information

On May 24, 2005, Ron Robinson resigned as a member of our board of directors. There was no known disagreement with Mr. Robinson on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
