SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Formerly Book Corporation of America
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
July 31, 2002
NOTE 1 - Organization
- ---------------------
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on
November 22, 1978. The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation,
authorizing 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.005
per share.
The Articles of Incorporation grants the Company unlimited power to engage
in and to do any lawful act concerning any and all lawful businesses for
which corporations may be organized. The Company currently seeks to
license films to television and to engage in market-by-market exploitation
of the films it holds in its film inventory.
In accordance with FASB 7 the Company is considered to be a development
stage company.
NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------
A. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
B. Revenues and directly related expenses are recognized in the period in
which the sales are finalized with customers.
C. 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 cash equivalents.
D. Basic Earnings Per Shares are computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Share shall be
computed by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted
average shares outstanding during the period. When inclusion of the
contingently issuable shares would have an antidilutive effect upon
earnings per share no diluted earnings per share shall be presented.
E. As a licensor of films to television or other markets the Company
shall recognize revenues on the dates of the exhibition for both
percentage and flat fee engagements. Revenues from license agreements
that meet the requirements of FASB 53 shall be recognized when the
license period begins.
F. Costs to produce a film shall be capitalized as film costs inventory
and shall be amortized using the individual film forecast computation
method.
G. Operating expenses and all type of income are recognized in the period
in which the activities occur.
H. Depreciation: The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over
the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of
leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the length of
the lease of the related assets for the estimated lives of the assets.
Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight line method.

NOTE 3 - Non Cash Investing and Non Cash Financing Activities
- -------------------------------------------------------------
In 1988, the Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock to a
related entity for assets valued at historical cost of $200,000.
The Company currently holds in its film inventory, films contributed to the
Company by principal stockholders. In the year ended October 31, 1999, the
Company wrote off 100% of the cost of these films, because it has not and
has no plans to aggressively market the films.
NOTE 4 - Public Stock Offering
- ------------------------------
In 1979, the Company conducted an intrastate public offering of its common
stock shares and issued 15,000,000 pre split, 300,000 post split shares for
net proceeds of $127,500.
NOTE 5 - Subsequent Event
- -------------------------
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 affected by merging the foreign corporation with and into a Nevada
corporation. On September 9, 2002, a merger between Secured Diversified
Investment, Ltd., and Book Corporation of America was completed. Upon
completion of the merger Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., became the
surviving corporation and Book Corporation of America was dissolved.
In addition to approving the change in domicile 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
authorized 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at a par value of $.01.

ITEM 2 PLAN OF OPERATION
For a complete understanding, this Plan of Operations should be read
in conjunction with Part I- Item 1. Financial Statements to this Form 10-
QSB.
Book Corporation of America (the "Company"), was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Utah on November 22, 1978 for the purpose of (1)
engaging primarily in the specific business of acquiring, developing,
owning, selling, leasing, licensing, exploiting, and otherwise dealing with
literary properties and materials, copyrights, licenses, and other tangible
and intangible properties in connection with artistic ideas and endeavors,
and to carry on a negotiation for, production of, purchase of, sale,
licensing, distribution, advertising, and promotion of all rights,
privileges, and properties in the entertainment industry, including, but
not limited to, all types of theatrical motion pictures, theatrical stage
plays, television films, programs and commercials, radio recordings, books,
and music publications and music recordings and (2) acting as principal,
agent, joint venturer, partner, or in any other capacity which may be
authorized or approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The
Company has no "parents" or "predecessors," as those terms are defined
under the federal securities laws.
In 1979 the Company conducted an intrastate public offering of its
common stock. On October 10, 1988, the common stock of the Company was
reverse split 50 to 1, and the par value was changed from $0.01 to $.005
per share. Also in October 1988, the Company acquired Sun Television
Entertainment, Inc., bringing assets of 36 motion picture screenplays
(subsequently valued at $-0-) and motion picture production equipment was
transferred to the Company by Visto International, Inc.
On July 23, 2002, Book Corporation of America ("Book") held a special
shareholder meeting. At the meeting, the shareholders approved a proposal
to redomicle the Company from Utah to Nevada and to change the name of the
Company. In accordance with Nevada corporate law, a change of domicile is
affected by merging the foreign corporation with and into a Nevada
corporation. For the sole purpose of changing domicile from Utah to
Nevada, Book formed Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., a Nevada
corporation ("SDI"). On September 9, 2002, a merger between Secured
Diversified Investment, Ltd., and Book was completed. Upon completion of
the merger SDI became the surviving corporation and Book was dissolved.
In addition to approving the change of domicile, 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 $.01.
Since its inception the Company has sustained continued losses and
currently has liabilities in excess of current assets. In addition, the
Company has no revenue producing activities and is dependent upon
contributions to capital to provide for its cash requirements. These
factors indicate considerable doubt as to the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. To date the Company has been unsuccessful in its
efforts to develop its entertainment business and therefore is seeking
other business opportunities.
8
In March 2002, REIT Consultants, LLC, a Nevada limited liability
company acquired the controlling interest in the Company. In April 2002,
the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Seashore
Diversified Investment Company ("Seashore"), a Maryland corporation, to
negotiate the possible acquisition of real estate holdings from Seashore in
exchange for restricted shares of the Company's capital stock. Seashore is
a real estate investment trust and is in the business of acquiring, selling
and managing real estate holdings.
By its terms, the letter of intent automatically terminated on June
30, 2002, without a definitive agreement being reached. The Company and
Seashore are continuing negotiations of a definitive agreement to set forth
the specific terms for the acquisition of real estate holdings. The
Company intends to primarily acquire partial interests in a number of
income producing properties throughout the United States. Given that
Seashore is continuously buying and selling real estate, and the fact that
the Company has not negotiated specific terms of a definitive agreement, it
is unclear at this time what properties the Company may acquire from
Seashore.
If the Company does not negotiate a definitive agreement with
Seashore, it has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in
any other business opportunity, subject to the availability of such
opportunities, economic conditions and other factors. The selection of a
business opportunity is complex and extremely risky and will be made by
management in the exercise of its business judgment. There is no assurance
that the Company will be able to identify and acquire a business
opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and
its shareholders.
The risks inherent in seeking a business interest are further
complicated as a result of the fact that the Company is a dormant company,
has limited resources and is unable to provide a prospective business
opportunity with capital.
The Company's limited resources include property and equipment that
have been completely depreciated. In addition, the Company has been unable
to market its films which are now more than twenty-five years old. The
Company does not anticipate any future market developing for the films, and
subsequently, in October 1999 the value of the films was written down to
$-0-.
SOURCES OF OPPORTUNITIES
If the Company is unable to negotiate a definitive agreement to
acquire real estate holdings from Seashore, it is anticipated that business
opportunities may be available to the Company from other sources, including
its officers and directors, professional advisers, securities broker-
dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and
others who may present unsolicited proposals. If the Company has to seek
other opportunities, it will investigate potential business opportunity
from all known sources, but will rely principally on personal contacts of
its officers and directors as well as indirect associations with other
businesses and professional people. Although the Company does not
anticipate engaging professional firms specializing in business
acquisitions or reorganizations, if management deems it in the best
interest of the Company, such firms may be retained. In some instances,
the Company may publish notices or advertisements seeking a potential
business opportunity in financial or trade publications.
9
CRITERIA
Should the Company be unable to negotiate a definitive agreement with
Seashore, it intends to focus its search for prospective business
opportunities to the area of acquisition or interests in real estate
holdings. However, should other opportunities become available, the
Company may also consider opportunities outside the real estate industry
based on criteria outlined below.
In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will
consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial
resources; working capital and other financial requirements; the history of
operations; prospects for the future; the nature of present and expected
competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be
available and the depth of the management; the potential for success of the
opportunity; the potential for growth and expansion; the potential for
profit; and other relevant factors.
To a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business
opportunity may be made upon management's analysis of the quality of the
other firm's management and personnel, the ability to market products, and
numerous other factors which are difficult if not impossible to analyze
through the application of any objective criteria. In many instances, it
is anticipated that the results of operations of a specific firm may not
necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future.
Generally, the Company will analyze all factors and circumstances and
make a determination based upon a composite of available facts, without
reliance upon any single fact as controlling.
EMPLOYEES
The Company does not currently have any employees but relies upon the
efforts of its officers and directors to conduct the business of the
Company. Should a business opportunity become available to the Company,
the Company's management may seek to raise additional capital by investment
from outsiders in the Company's common stock.
