PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
Overview
Since our
inception, we have been unsuccessful in pursing revenues with our investment
properties the majority of which were acquired in an asset purchase from Secured
Diversified Investment Company, a related party. Several of our acquired
properties, including the T-Rex Plaza, the Hospitality Inn, and the Katella
Center, among others, became impaired and /or were assets that underperformed.
These properties were incapable of generating sufficient revenues. A major
contributing factor to the lack revenues from these properties was high-cost
ground lease obligations underlying these properties. The assets that were
cash-producing such as the Decatur Center, Spencer Springs and the Cannery, had
to be sold to continue our operations, including the high costs associated with
being a public company, in addition to absorbing the costs associated with our
impaired and underperforming assets. At the date of this report, these
underperforming properties have been disposed. We have exhausted all
available venues to raise capital and therefore will not be able to continue as
a going concern. The Company has effectively ceased
operations.
Katella
Center, Orange, California
On
September 4, 2007, Val-Chris Investments, Ltd., trustee for the first trust deed
filed a Notice of Default. We agreed to grant deed the property to
the first trust deed, the Cornish Construction Pension Plan
("Cornish")
On
October 23, 2007, we entered into a Grant Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure with
Cornish and granted Cornish our interest in the “Katella Center,” a strip mall
consisting of six retail rental units of various sizes totaling approximately
9,500 square feet, located at 632-650 E. Katella Avenue in Orange, California.
We were in default of the first trust deed with Cornish, and granted ownership
in the Katella Center to avoid foreclosure proceedings.
Campus
Drive Office Building, Newport Beach, California
During
the reporting period, we agreed to sell our (53.8%) interest in Diversified
Commercial Brokers, LLC ("DCB") to the Sutterfield Family Trust and Wayne
Sutterfield (together "Sutterfield"). Sutterfield had a 46.2%
interest in DCB. The Company was in default of debt owed to
Sutterfield and the Operating Agreement for DCB.
On
October 25, 2007, we signed an agreement conveying our 53.8% membership interest
in Diversified Commercial Brokers, LLC (“DCB”) to Sutterfield. The primary asset
of DCB is an 8,685 square foot office building located at 5030 Campus Drive in
Newport Beach, California 92660 (the “Campus Property”). In exchange for the
sale of our membership interest in DCB, we received: (a) an indemnity on certain
obligations pertaining to the Campus Property, including a ground lease, first
and second trust deeds, and property taxes; and (b) a release from Sutterfield
on any debt we owe, including two promissory notes in the principal amount of
$138,630.32 and all accrued interest thereon.
Lincoln
Drive Property
We own a
25% tenant -in-common interest in three buildings located at 5203 - 5205 East
Lincoln Drive in Paradise Valley, Maricopa County, Arizona 85253. We acquired
our 25% interest from Fazoql, Inc. as a joint venture investment with Fazoql and
Willowpoint, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. Fazoql had previously
obtained a 50% interest from Willowpoint, which retained a 50% ownership
interest in the property. We then obtained our 25% interest directly from
Fazoql. Patrick McNevin, a former member of our board of directors, is President
of Fazoql. Currently, the property is subject to a first trust deed held by
Marshall & Ilsey Bank with a principal balance of approximately $852,146
bearing an annual interest rate of 6.5% per annum. The loan matures May 1, 2010.
The property is in very good condition. There is no ground lease on the
property. The property is 100% leased and situated between two new
residential/hospitality developments.
We do not
receive any rental income from the leased units. We believe the property’s
adjacent developments and scheduled city improvements to the walkways in the
front area are positive indicators that we will experience appreciable gain in
any future sale of the property. Fazoqland Willowpoint are jointly responsible
for all costs of operating the buildings including landscaping, exterior
maintenance, property management, and the payment of taxes, insurance and loan
payments. We are not responsible for these items.
The
current real estate tax rate for the Lincoln Drive property is unknown at this
time. Property taxes due for the Lincoln Drive property for the 2007 tax year
are $6,158. We are not responsible for the payment of taxes.
In light
of the ongoing economic downward trend, the real estate market has been one of
the sectors greatly affected. This sector has experienced a
consistent decline downward for the past year. According we have
impaired our investment by $100,000 to $200,000. If this sector does
not improve we may have to impair it further.
Cactus
Road Property
On
February 15, 2006, we acquired a 33 1/3% tenant-in-common interest in property
located at 12202 North Scottsdale Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85054. We acquired our
interest for $200,000 from Ms. Jan Wallace, our officer and director, who holds
the remaining 66 2/3% ownership in the property. Currently, the property is
subject to a first trust deed held by Chase Manhattan Mortgage with a principal
balance of $529,950. There are no ground leases on the property.
The
property consists of 2,180 square feet situated on approximately 38,587 square
feet of land strategically located on a heavily trafficked corner. The property
was remodelled and retrofitted to house our headquarters. We also leased a
portion of the building to a mortgage company until it ceased operations in
December 2006. Because of the property’s heavily trafficked location, we
believed that it would appreciate and provide us a profit upon its sale at some
future date.
In light of the ongoing economic downward trend, the real estate
market has been one of the sectors greatly affected. This sector has
experienced a consistent decline downward for the past
year. According we have impaired our investment by
$200,000.
The
property was repaired and renovated at a cost of $46,950, which include a
complete repair and replacement of the roof, electrical retrofitting, plumbing
repairs, HVAC repairs renovation and remodelling of the kitchen area to
accommodate new tenants. Ms. Wallace will be responsible for these costs. The
property is adequately covered by insurance.
The
property taxes for 2007 were $2,523.
Item 2. Description of Property
We currently occupy space at 3416 Via Lido Suite F,
Newport Beach, CA 92663. The company does not pay rent for this
location.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Other
than as described below, we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal
proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of
5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material
interest adverse to us.
On
January 13, 2006, Alliance Title Company, Inc. (“Alliance”) filed a complaint in
the matter of Alliance Title Company, Inc. v. Secured Diversified Investment,
Ltd. (case no. 06CC02129) in the Superior Court of California, County of
Orange. The complaint alleges that Alliance, our escrow agent, was
entrusted with $267,000 pursuant to escrow instructions, and that a mutual
written agreement among the parties to the escrow was required to properly
disperse the funds. Alliance further alleges that no instructions
were provided to disperse the funds, but instead, competing claims for the funds
were made by Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., Clifford L. Strand, William
S. Biddle, Gernot Trolf, Nationwide Commercial Brokers, Inc., and Prime Time
Auctions, Inc. Alliance has deposited the funds with the court and has asked for
a declaration of rights regarding the funds. Alliance has requested
that its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees be paid from the deposited
funds.
This
matter was dismissed by Alliance Title Company in open court in February
2007.
The
Company received $33,803 as its share out of the funds and recognized as gain on
equity investment as of December 31, 2006.
On
January 20, 2006, Clifford L. Strand, William S. Biddle, Gernot Trolf, our
former management, and Nationwide Commercial Brokers, Inc., our former
subsidiary (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed a complaint in the matter of
Clifford L. Strand v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC02350)
in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. The complaint
contains causes of action for fraud and misrepresentation, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, conversion, common counts, money had and received, and declaratory
relief. These allegations arise out of the hold over of funds at
issue in Alliance Title Company, Inc. v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd.
(case no. 06CC02129), described above. To date, however, the matters
have not been consolidated. The Company has set aside $177,000 in
contingent liabilities as potential payout and settlement to these officers. As
of December 31, 2006 the Company paid $45,000 to William S. Biddle and $42,000
to Gernot Trolf.
This matter has been settled as of
April 5, 2007. On January 5, 2007, the Company entered into a
Confidential Settlement and General Release Agreement (the “Settlement
Agreement”) with Mr. Clifford L. Strand to resolve litigation in the matters of
Clifford L. Strand v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC02350)
in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, as well as other claims
involving Mr. Strand and our company as set forth in the Agreement. The
Settlement Agreement with Mr. Strand provides that a stipulation and order of
disbursement will
be filed
on the remaining $89,998 as follows: $80,000 to Mr. Strand and $9,998 to our
company. In addition, Mr. Strand expressly waived any and all rights he may have
had in connection with reemployment with our company, and agreed to refrain from
pursuing complaints against our company and our officers and directors in any
court or government agency. Further, Mr. Strand granted an irrevocable proxy in
connection with any shares of stock beneficially owned by him.
On March
10, 2006, some of our shareholders, including Clifford L. Strand, Robert J.
Leonard, William S. Biddle, and Gernot Trolf (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed
a complaint in the matter of William S. Biddle v. Secured Diversified
Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC03959) in the Superior Court of California,
County of Orange. Plaintiff seek declaratory relief as to whether we
are a foreign corporation under California Corporation Code Section 2115(a) and
whether Plaintiff’s alleged demand for our shareholder list and for an
inspection of the accounting books and records and minutes of shareholders ,
board of directors and committees of such board is governed under California
Corporation Code Sections 1600 and 1601. The Company is contesting
this case vigorously and is proceeding with discovery. At this time,
the Company cannot make any evaluation of the outcome of this
litigation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders
On July
3, 2007 at our annual meeting of the shareholders, our shareholders approved a
grant of authority to our Board of Directors to reverse split our outstanding
preferred and common stock at a ratio of up to 10 to 1, as determined at a later
date in the discretion of the Board of Directors. Since that time, all of our
outstanding preferred stock was converted into shares of our common stock, such
that our only remaining outstanding capital stock now consists of common
shares. On September 25, 2007, our Board of Directors unanimously
approved, subject to stockholder approval, an increase in the original grant of
authority to our Board of Directors to reverse split our outstanding capital
stock for a total ratio of up to 20 to 1, as determined at a later date in the
discretion of the Board of Directors. On October 5, 2007, holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock executed a written stockholder
consent approving the action of the Board of Directors.
The total
number of shares of common stock outstanding at the record date, October 5,
2007, was 3,257,238 shares. Shareholders holding a total of 1,663,415 shares of
common stock (approximately 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock) approved the reverse split.

Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation
Forward-Looking
Statements
Certain
statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates,
projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected
operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based,
are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified
by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will
continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend
such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with
those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on
current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties
which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans
or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material
adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis
include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions,
legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates,
competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and
uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no
obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further
information concerning our business, including additional factors that could
materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other
filings with the SEC.
Plan of Operation in the Next Twelve
Months
Since our
inception, we have been unsuccessful in pursing revenues with our investment
properties. At the date of this report, our underperforming properties have been
disposed of and our company remains in financial jeopardy and may not continue
as a going concern. Management has determined that it is not feasible to
continue our current line of business. We have exhausted our capital on
operating expenses. Our efforts to obtain additional capital in order to further
pursue our business plan have been unsuccessful. Our management is now actively
looking for other business opportunities for us to pursue.
As
reflected in this annual report on Form 10-KSB, we experienced a total net loss
of $309,066 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our history of net losses is
due to significant general and administrative expenses, professional fees, and
other expenses related to the pursuit of our business plan and maintenance of
our business operations, coupled with limited revenue. This history of
unprofitable operations has made it difficult to raise capital, to hire and
retain employees and consultants, to contract for third party services, and to
otherwise execute on our business plan.
For these
reasons, it has become clear to management that our current business plan is no
longer viable. Therefore, we are currently working to identify and evaluate
other business opportunities and make arrangements to acquire one that is
consistent with our expertise and income needs.
We can
provide no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring any business
opportunity due to our limited working capital. We anticipate that even if we
were to successfully negotiate an agreement to acquire a new business
opportunity, we may require additional financing in order to enable us to
complete the transaction. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be
able to obtain any financing on acceptable terms, or at all. We do not have any
formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or
loan of funds.
Results
of Operations
Income. We recorded no income for
either December 31, 2007 or 2006 from our continuing operations. In our
financial statements we reclassified our 2006 income for comparative purposes.
We recorded $397,298 in discontinued operations as compared with $309,239 for
the same period ended 2006. Income from discontinued operations consists
primarily of rental income from commercial properties pursuant to tenant leases.
Our operations were discontinued because we were in default on both the Katella
and Campus properties. We disposed of the properties in exchange for
satisfaction of the debt owed.
Operating
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 decreased by $507,740 to $411,859 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007, compared to $919,599 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2006. The decrease is attributable to the reduction of overhead including
payroll, payroll taxes, office rent, professional fees, and the sale of poorly
performing properties resulting in the reduction of leasing commissions, land
lease payments, property taxes and related carrying costs.
Other
Expenses. Because
of the slowdown of the real estate market and decline in value of properties we
impaired our investment in the Lincoln Drive property from $300,000 to $200,000
and recorded an impairment loss of $100,000. Additionally, the
Company has impaired its Phoenix Cactus Street property 100% recording an
impaired loss of $200,000. In light of the current real estate market
and projected trends, the Company does not see recovery of these investments in
the foreseeable future. As such, we recorded an impairment of
$300,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $248,137 for the
year ended December 31, 2006.
Interest
expense consists of mortgage interest paid on our properties. Interest expense
was $6,144 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1,888 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in interest expense is
attributable to nonpayment of payables.
Net
Loss. We
reported a net loss of $309,066 or $2.01 per share for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $719,331 or $7.85 per share for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Net loss from continuing operations was
$706,364 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of
$1,028,570 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Discontinued operations
accounted for net income of $397,298 for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007. The net income from disposal of discontinued operations was $309,239 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As stated
in financial statement Note 1 - Going Concern, we do not have an established
source of revenues sufficient to continue to cover our operating costs over an
extended period of time allowing us to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we
do not currently possess a financial institution source of financing or an
adequate principal source of financing and it does not appear likely that we
will be able to obtain such a source.
At
December 31, 2007, we had $1,684 of cash and cash equivalents as compared to
$7,667 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2006 to meet our immediate
short-term liquidity requirements. As noted earlier in this report, we have been
unsuccessful in pursing revenues with our investment properties the majority of
these properties were acquired in an asset purchase from Seashore Investment
Company, Inc. a related party. Several of our acquired properties, including the
T-Rex Plaza, the Hospitality Inn, and the Katella Center, among others, became
impaired and or were assets that underperformed. These properties were incapable
of generating sufficent revenues. A major contributing factor to the lack
revenues from these properties was high-cost ground lease obligations underlying
these properties. The assets that were cash-producing such as the Decatur
Center, Spencer Springs and the Cannery, had to be sold to continue our
operations, including the high costs associated with being a public company, in
addition to absorbing the costs associated with our impaired and underperforming
assets. The difference in our cash position from December 31, 2007 to December
31, 2006 has been the inability of the remaining assets to generate necessary
revenues. The cash position would have been substantially worst had
management not agreed to defer compensation. As a result of the problems with
our properties, our ability to raise capital was met with failure in several
instances prior to and during the reporting period. At the date of this annual
report, the Company has essentially ceased operations and is not a going
concern. We are not likely to raise capital and therefore are forced to consider
other business opportunities.
To date,
we have paid no dividends and do not anticipate paying dividends into the
foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from
Operating Activities. Net cash used by
operating activities was $16,133 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
comparable to net cash used by operating activities of $940,015 for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006.
Cash Flows from
Investing Activities.
Net cash from investing activities amounted to $4,932 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007 compared to net cash used investing activities in the
amount of $242,868 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Cash Flows from
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing
activities amounted to $-0- for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 compared
to $39,854 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
December 31, 2007, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

PCAOB REGISTERED
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors
Secured
Diversified Investment, LTD
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Secured Diversified Investment, LTD
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006. 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 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. 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 statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Secured Diversified Investment, LTD
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,026,256 and
reported a net loss of $309,066, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning
these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to
Audited Financial Statements
December
31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE 1 – Basis of
presentation and Going Concern
Basis
of presentation:
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
presentation of financial information, and include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
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 $9,023,256 as of December 31, 2007. The Company reported
net loss of $309,066 at December 31, 2007. The Company has no cash reserves to
pay its existing obligations and has exhausted all possibilities in efforts to
raise the necessary capital to meet its obligations for the next 12
months. Since our inception we have been unsuccessful in pursing
revenues with our investment properties. Several of our acquired
properties, including the T-Rex Plaza, the Hospitality Inn, and the Katella
Center, among others, were or became impaired assets that were
underperforming. These properties were incapable of generating
adequate revenues. A major contributing factor to the lack of
revenues for these properties was high-cost of debt and ground lease obligations
underlying these properties. The assets that sufficiently produced
cash to service their obligations, but not sufficient cash to support the
Company’s overhead, such as Decatur Center, Spencer Springs and the Cannery
West, had to be sold to continue our operations, including the high costs
associated with being a public company, in addition to absorbing the costs
associated with our impaired assets. Current management has restructured the
Company’s operations by selling many of its poorly performing properties and
reducing the associated high cost of debt and ground leases. The
Company significantly reduced overhead and rolled backed the stock in order to
restructure the Company’s capital structure. As of September 30,
2007, the Company discontinued its Katella & DCB (real estate)
operations. Katella Center and Campus Drive have been disposed in
exchange for settlement of debt. (See note 5 &
10). While management continues with efforts to find business
partners, it is unlikely that we will succeed.
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 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.
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
(Series A, B and C), par value $0.01. On November 15, 2002, the
Company 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 two
properties in Phoenix, Arizona which were acquired in the first quarter of
2006.
NOTE 3 – Significant
Accounting Policies
Reclassifications. Certain prior
period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or
financial position for any period presented.
Income (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, 2007 and 2006, all potential common shares are
excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of which
was anti-dilutive.
Income
Taxes. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the
consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income (loss). Valuation allowance is established when necessary
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
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.
During
the first quarter of 2006, the Company acquired investment interest in two
separate properties in Arizona.
On
January 6, 2006, the Company acquired a 25 percent Tenant-in-Common interest in
a commercial property located in Paradise Valley, Arizona for
$300,000. The tenant-in common partners include a director of the
Company, 25 percent, and an unrelated third party, 50 percent and SDI
25%. The unrelated third party will be responsible for all costs of
operation including, but not limited to, landscaping, maintenance, taxes,
insurance, property management and debt payments.
On
February 15, 2006, the Company acquired a 33.3 percent interest in a property
located in Phoenix, Arizona for $200,000. The property consists of a
2,180 square foot structure on approximately 38,587 square feet of
land. The Company’s interest was purchased from Ms Jan Wallace, an
officer and director of the Company. The property will be used to
house the Company’s headquarters. The Company is not responsible for
any of the expenses and does not share in the revenue stream associated with
these properties.
For the
years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006 all of the Company’s investment
properties are located in Arizona. Properties in Arizona do not contribute to
the income or expense stream of the Company.
Investment
in real estate.
The
Company reports its investment in real estates at historical
cost. Those properties were acquired with the intention that when the
value of properties will appreciate the Company will sell its share in those
properties. The Company used cost method of accounting based on SOP 78-9
paragraph .08 which states that
“The
division believes that the accounting recommendations for use of the equity
method of accounting for investments in general partnerships are generally
appropriate for accounting by limited partners for their investments in limited
partnerships. A limited partner's interest may be so minor that the limited
partner may have virtually no influence over partnership operating and financial
policies. Such a limited partner is, in substance, in the same position with
respect to the investment as an investor that owns a minor common stock interest
in a corporation, and, accordingly, accounting for the investment using the cost
method may be appropriate.”
Recent accounting
pronouncements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This
statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157
would have on the financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 gives the
irrevocable option to carry many financial assets and liabilities at fair
values, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is
effective beginning January 1, 2008, although early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS
No. 159 will have on the financial statements.
The FASB
has revised SFAS No. 141. This revised statement establishes uniform
treatment for all acquisitions. It defines the acquiring
company. The statement further requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in
the acquired at the acquisition date, measured at their fair market values as of
that date. It requires the acquirer in a business combination
achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well
as the non-controlling interest in the acquired, at the full amounts of their
fair values. This changes the way that minority interest is recorded and
modified as a parent’s interest in a subsidiary changes over
time. This statement also makes corresponding significant amendments
to other standards that related to business combinations, namely, 109, 142 and
various EITF’s. This statement applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after 12/15/08. The
Company believes the implementation of this standard will have no effect on our
financial statements.
NOTE 4 – Real Estate
Investments
At
December 31, 2007, the Company held investments in two separate properties
(see Note 3 Significant
Accounting Policies – Segment Reporting). These properties do
not contribute to the income or expense stream of the Company.
It is the
Company’s policy to assess its long lived assets for impairment on an annual
basis, or more frequently if warranted by circumstances. Because of
the slow down of the real estate market and decline in value of properties the
Company impaired its investment in Paradise Valley, Arizona property from
$300,000 to $150,000 and recorded an impairment loss of
$150,000. Additionally, the Company has impaired its Phoenix Cactus
Street property 100% recording an impaired loss of $200,000. In light
of the current real estate market and projected trends, the Company does not see
recovery of these investments in the foreseeable future.
NOTE 5 – Related Party

NOTE 11 -
Litigation
On
January 13, 2006, Alliance Title Company, Inc. (“Alliance”) filed a complaint in
the matter of Alliance Title Company, Inc. v. Secured Diversified Investment,
Ltd. (case no. 06CC02129) in the Superior Court of California, County of
Orange. The complaint alleges that Alliance, our escrow agent, was
entrusted with $267,000 pursuant to escrow instructions, and that a mutual
written agreement among the parties to the escrow was required to properly
disperse the funds. Alliance further alleges that no instructions
were provided to disperse the funds, but instead, competing claims for the funds
were made by Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., Clifford L. Strand, William
S. Biddle, Gernot Trolf, Nationwide Commercial Brokers, Inc., and Prime Time
Auctions, Inc. Alliance has deposited the funds with the court and has asked for
a declaration of rights regarding the funds. Alliance has requested
that its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees be paid from the deposited
funds.
This
matter was dismissed by Alliance Title Company in open court in February
2007.
The
Company received $33,803 as its share out of the funds and recognized as gain on
equity investment as of December 31, 2006.
On
January 20, 2006, Clifford L. Strand, William S. Biddle, Gernot Trolf, our
former management, and Nationwide Commercial Brokers, Inc., our former
subsidiary (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed a complaint in the matter of
Clifford L. Strand v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC02350)
in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. The complaint
contains causes of action for fraud and misrepresentation, negligent
misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, conversion, common counts, money had and received, and declaratory
relief. These allegations arise out of the hold over of funds at
issue in Alliance Title Company, Inc. v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd.
(case no. 06CC02129), described above. To date, however, the matters
have not been consolidated. The Company has set aside $177,000 in
contingent liabilities as potential payout and settlement to these officers. As
of December 31, 2006 the Company paid $45,000 to William S. Biddle and $42,000
to Gernot Trolf.
This matter has been settled as of
April 5, 2007. On January 5, 2007, the Company entered into a
Confidential Settlement and General Release Agreement (the “Settlement
Agreement”) with Mr. Clifford L. Strand to resolve litigation in the matters of
Clifford L. Strand v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC02350)
in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, as well as other claims
involving Mr. Strand and our company as set forth in the Agreement. The
Settlement Agreement with Mr. Strand provides that a stipulation and order of
disbursement will be filed on the remaining $89,998 as follows: $80,000 to Mr.
Strand and $9,998 to our company. In addition, Mr. Strand expressly waived any
and all rights he may have had in connection with reemployment with our company,
and agreed to refrain from pursuing complaints against our company and our
officers and directors in any court or government agency. Further, Mr. Strand
granted an irrevocable proxy in connection with any shares of stock beneficially
owned by him.
On March
10, 2006, some of our shareholders, including Clifford L. Strand, Robert J.
Leonard, William S. Biddle, and Gernot Trolf (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed
a complaint in the matter of William S. Biddle v. Secured Diversified
Investment, Ltd. (case no. 06CC03959) in the Superior Court of California,
County of Orange. Plaintiff seek declaratory relief as to whether we
are a foreign corporation under California Corporation Code Section 2115(a) and
whether Plaintiff’s alleged demand for our shareholder list and for an
inspection of the accounting books and records and minutes of shareholders ,
board of directors and committees of such board is governed under California
Corporation Code Sections 1600 and 1601. The Company is contesting
this case vigorously and is proceeding with discovery. At this time,
the Company cannot make any evaluation of the outcome of this
litigation.

December 31, 2007, the Company has eliminated the operations and cash flows of
DCB from its ongoing operations and it is not involved in the continuing
operations of DCB and reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying
financial statements.
3. Secured
Lending
During 2006 the Company established a
new wholly owned subsidiary, Secured Lending, LLC, to engage in mortgage banking
activities in the state of Arizona. The new subsidiary was incorporated on June
15th, 2006 and it began funding loans in July. However, Secured Lending was not
able to sustain its mortgage banking activities and these relationships were
mutually terminated. The Company discontinued its mortgage banking activity at
December 31, 2006. The Company recognized a loss of $153,672 as a result
of discontinued operations and recorded net assets held for sale of $23,544 at
December 31, 2006. During 2007 the Company recognized a loss of $6,547
as a result of discontinued operations and recorded net assets held for sale of
$19,129 in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 13 – Forgiveness of
Debt
During
2006 the Company recorded debt forgiveness of $268,768 against reversal of
various old debts which passed statute of limitations.
NOTE 14 –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.
On August
1, 2006, our Board of Directors resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation
pursuant to Nevada Revised Statues 78.207 to decrease the number of authorized
shares of our common stock, par value $.001, from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000
shares. Correspondingly, our Board of Directors affirmed a reverse split of
twenty to one in which each shareholder will be issued one common share in
exchange for each twenty common share of their currently issued common stock. At
the same time and under the same authority, our Board of Directors resolved to
amend the Articles of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares
of our preferred stock, par value $0.01, from 50,000,000 to 2,500,000 shares.
Correspondingly, our Board of Directors affirmed a reverse split of twenty to
one in which each shareholder will be issued one common share in exchange for
each twenty common share of their currently issued common stock. A record date
of August 14, 2006 was established in order to provide the NASD ten days notice
pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended.
All shareholders of this record date will receive one share of our common stock
for each twenty shares owned. These share certificates will be issued upon
surrender. On August 1, 2006, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to reflect the
decrease in authorized shares. Under Nevada Revised Statutes 78.207, shareholder
approval was not required.
All the
issued and outstanding shares have been retroactively restated for the effect of
the reverse stock split of 20:1.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had the following equity
transaction:
On
February 2, 2006, Iomega converted its 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock for 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were
converted at a price of $0.05 per share.
On
October 23, 2006, the Company issued 400,000 bonus shares to its Chief Executive
Officer and 200,000 bonus shares to its Chief Financial
Officer. These shares were recorded at the fair market value close to
the date of issuance and charged to operations.
On
October 24, 2006, the Company issued 400,000 shares for consulting
services. These shares were issued at the fair market value close to
the date of issuance and charged to operations.
On
September 24, 2007, the Company converted it Series A and Series B preferred
shares to common stock. The total outstanding shares of Series A
preferred stock, 355,978 shares, where converted to 352,453 shares of common
stock at a conversion ratio of 1:1.01. The total outstanding shares
of Series B preferred stock, 8,044 shares, were converted to 7,954 shares of
common stock at a conversion ratio of 1:1.01. The conversion
increased the total number of common shares outstanding from 2,896,820 to
3,257,237.
On
October 24, 2007, the Company completed a 20 to 1 reverse stock split of its
outstanding common shares thereby reducing its outstanding common shares from
3,257,237 to 162,862.
NOTE
15- Income Taxes
No
provision was made for Federal income tax for the year ended December 31, 2007
and 2006, since the Company had significant net operating loss. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred net loss carry forward for tax
purposes of $9,023,256. However, for the year ended December 31, 2005 the
Company incurred net loss carry forward for tax purposes of approximately
$2,990,000. The net operating losses carry forwards may be used to
reduce taxable income through the year 2025. The availability
of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are subject to limitation if
there is a 50% or more positive change in the ownership of the Company’s stock.
The provision for income taxes consists of the state minimum tax imposed on
corporations.
Temporary
differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December
31, 2007 and 2006, comprised of depreciation and amortization and net operating
loss carry forward. The gross deferred tax asset balance as of December 31, 2007
is approximately $3,067,907. A 100% valuation allowance has been
established against the deferred tax assets, as the utilization of the loss
carry forwards cannot reasonably be assured.
The
components of the net deferred tax asset are summarized below:

Item 8. Changes In and Disagreements with
Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 8A. Controls and Procedures
Management’s
Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
|
•
|
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
|
|
•
|
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the
Company; and
|
|
•
|
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, 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 that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the
participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer,
our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our
management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of December 31, 2007 as the result of a material
weakness. The material weakness results from significant
deficiencies in internal control that collectively constitute a material
weakness.
A
significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material
weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for
oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting. The Company
had the following significant deficiencies at December 31, 2007:
·
|
The
company is effectively insolvent, and only has one employee to oversee
bank reconciliations, posting payables, and so forth, so there are no
checks and balances on internal
controls.
|
Remediation
of Material Weakness
We are
unable to remedy our internal controls until we are able to locate another
business opportunity, or receive financing to hire additional
employees. At this time, we are effectively not a going
concern.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing
or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not
occur or 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 may occur
because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based
in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls
effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

Set forth
below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our

Ms. Wallace is our director.
She is also serving as the President, CEO and Director of Davi Skin, Inc., a

associated with four Canadian companies: Active Systems as Executive Vice

owner and President; and Pitney Bowes, first female sales executive. Ms. Wallace

Family
Relationships
There are
no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or
persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive
officers.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the
best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the
following occurred with respect to a
present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such
person was a general partner or executive officer either
at the time of the bankruptcy or within two
years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a
criminal proceeding or being subject to a
pending criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations and
other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order,
judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended
or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or
temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her
involvement in any type of business, securities or banking
activities; and (4) being found
by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the SEC or the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated
a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been
reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees
We
currently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee, nominating
committee, executive committee, Stock Plan Committee, or any other committees.
There has been no need to delegate functions to these committees in our present
financial circumstance.
Audit
Committee
We do not
have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of
directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter
governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of
that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors
approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts
with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial
reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of
the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the
independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of
our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting
matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance
of the independent auditor.
We do not
have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and
our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit
committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants
who possess these attributes.
For the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, the board of directors:
§
|
Reviewed
and discussed the audited financial statements with management,
and
|
§
|
Reviewed
and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent
auditors on the matters relating to the auditor's
independence.
|
Based
upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the
board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2007 to be included in this Annual Report on Form
10-KSB and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Significant
Employees
We have
no significant employees other than our officers and directors.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and
persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the
Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities
of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent
beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our
knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5
(and any
amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended
December 31, 2007, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis,

On
February 15, 2006, we acquired a 33 1/3% tenant-in-common interest in property
located at 12202 North Scottsdale Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85054. We acquired
our interest for $200,000 from Ms. Jan Wallace, our officer and director, who
holds the remaining 66 2/3% ownership in the property.
On
October 25, 2007, we signed an agreement conveying our 53.8% membership interest
in Diversified Commercial Brokers, LLC (“DCB”) to the Sutterfield Family Trust
and Wayne Sutterfield (together, “Sutterfield”). Mr. Sutterfield is a former
director of the company. The primary asset of DCB is an 8,685 square foot office
building located at 5030 Campus Drive in Newport Beach, California 92660 (the
“Campus Property”). In exchange for the sale of our membership interest in DCB,
we received: (a) an indemnity on certain obligations pertaining to the Campus
Property, including a ground lease, first and second trust deeds, and property
taxes; and (b) a release from Sutterfield on any debt we owe, including two
promissory notes in the principal amount of $138,630.32 and all accrued interest
thereon.
