For this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-KSB that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or comparable terminology is intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within the Company's control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which the Company may participate; competition within the Company's chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure by the Company to successfully develop business relationships. Item 1. Description of Business Book Corporation of America ("Book") 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, 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 Book. Book had no "parents" or "predecessors," as those terms are defined under the federal securities laws. In 1979, Book conducted an intrastate public offering of its common stock. On October 10, 1988, the common stock of the Book was reverse split 50 to 1, and the par value was changed from $0.01 to $.005 per share. Also in October 1988, Book acquired Sun Television Entertainment, Inc., bringing assets of 36 motion picture screenplays (subsequently valued at $-0-) and motion picture production equipment was transferred to Book by Visto International, Inc. Book filed a Form 10-SB Registration Statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 18, 2000, which registration became effective on July 18, 2000. In March 2002, control of the Company was acquired by REIT Consultants, LLC. ("REIT"), when it acquired 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock from the then contolling shareholders. REIT is a manager managed limited liability company. Ronald Robinson is the manager of REIT. REIT has five members all of which are trusts. The trustees of the trusts, which are members of REIT, are as follows: William S. Biddle is the trustee of the William S. Biddle Family Trust, which owns a 16.7% interest in REIT; Sumyie Onodera-Leonard is the trustee of the Sumyie N. Onodera Familty Trust, which owns a 25% interest in REIT; Robert J. Leonard is the trustee of the Robert J. Leonard Family Trust, which owns a 25% interest in REIT Robert J. Leonard is the spouse of Sumyie Onodera- Leonard; Clifford L. Strand is the trustee of the C.L. Strand Trust, which owns a 16.7% interest in the LLC; and Myra and Wayne Sutterfield are the trustees of the Wayne Sutterfield Family Trust which owns a 16.6% interest in REIT. 3 At that time, REIT acquired the controlling interest in the Company, William Messerli, Philip Yordan and Daniel Yordan resigned as officers and directors of the Company. Ronald Robinson became the sole officer and director of the Company. On July 23, 2002, Book held a special shareholder meeting. At the meeting, the shareholders approved a proposal to redomicile Book from Utah to Nevada and to change its name. 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 (the "Company"). On August 9, 2002, a merger between Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., and Book was completed. Upon completion of merger Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., became the surviving corporation and Book was dissolved. On September 18, 2002, the OTCBB symbol for the Company's common stock was changed from BCAM to SCDI to reflect the name change. 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. In September 2002, Ronald Robinson resigned as the sole officer and director of the Company and the current officers and directors were appointed to their respective positions. Since its inception the Company has sustained continued losses and currently has liabilities in excess of current assets. In addition, through the end of the transition period, the Company had no revenue producing activities and was dependent upon its officers and directors 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. Because of the Company's failure to develop its entertainment business, management of the Company decided to pursue the acquisition of ownership interests in a portfolio of real estate properties that are geographically and functionally diverse. The Company believes that by acquiring interests in properties that are geographically and functionally diverse its portfolio will be more stable and less susceptible to devaluation resulting from regional economic downturns and market shifts. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring properties in markets with strong regional economies and where a sufficient number of properties are available to help insure liquidity. To this end, on March 31, 2003, the Company consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement with Seashore Diversified Investment Company ("Seashore"), a Maryland corporation, whereby the Company acquired certain real estate holdings from Seashore in exchange for restricted shares of its Preferred and Common Stock. Seashore is a real estate investment trust and is in the business of acquiring, selling and managing real estate holdings. 4 Specifically, the Company acquired two properties, interests in two limited liability companies, and a general partnership interest in a limited partnership in exchange for 3,630,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company and 7,370,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred shares have the same voting rights as the Common Stock. The primary assets of the limited liability companies and the limited partnership are real estate holdings. Following is a brief description of the interests the Company has acquired. Katella Center, Orange, California ---------------------------------- The Company has acquired a 100% ownership interest in a strip mall which consists of six retail rental units totaling approximately 9,500 square feet located on Katella Avenue in Orange, California. Currently, five of the six units are rented. The Company is currently trying to rent the final unit. The rental units are of varying sizes. One tenant, a clothing manufacturer, currently occupies 45% of the strip mall. The rental rates for the individual units range from $1.04 to $1.41 per square foot. The strip mall is currently generating monthly net cash flow of approximately $3,535. The strip mall is located on approximately 35,800 square feet of leased ground owned by a non-affiliated third party. The lease has a 52- year term that expires in March 2017. The ground lease payment is currently $3,000 per month. Commencing June 1, 2007, the annual ground lease payment shall revert to 7% of the fair market value of the land. There is a first trust deed in the amount of $350,000, which is due and payable on August 15, 2003. The current monthly payment, which covers only interest, is $3,500. The interest rate is 12% per annum. Late charges on late payments in the amount of $1,080 are also due. There is also a second trust deed in the amount of approximately $15,500. The monthly payment is $155 per month. This payment covers only the interest on the loan. The outstanding balance is approximately $4,800. This note has matured. The lender has verbally agreed to extend the note and no late fees are being charged at this time. The Company is currently seeking to refinance both the first and second trust deeds. As of January 31, 2003, delinquent real property taxes in the amount of approximately $11,800 are owed. There are also additional penalties of approximately $2,100 due and owing. Penalties accrue at a rate of $104 per month. The fair market value of this strip mall is estimated to be approximately $600,000. Shopping Mall, Dickinson, North Dakota -------------------------------------- The Company has acquired a 100% ownership interest in the nearly 90,000 square foot enclosed T-Rex Mall Plaza in Dickinson, North Dakota. The T-Rex Mall is approximately 75% occupied at this time. The Mall was appraised at $3,200,000 on April 24, 2002. 5 The 6.66 acres of ground on which the Mall is located was recently sold to a third party for $1,645,000 with a leaseback of the ground from the buyer. For the first year of the ground lease, the monthly lease payment will be $13,708. Beginning the second year, the ground lease payment will be adjusted annually in step with the consumer pricing index, but such increases shall not exceed 3% nor be less than 2% in any given year. The term of the ground lease will be 50 years. Between the 24th month and the 48th month of the lease, the Company will have the option to repurchase the ground provided the lease is still in effect and the lessor is not in default. The price to buy back the ground will be $1,745,000. Following the 48th month, the price to repurchase the ground lease will be $1,845,000 or ten times the next year's lease amount from the date of the exercise of the option, whichever is greater. Clifford L. Strand, a Company officer and director was paid a commission of $25,000 in connection with the sale of the 6.66 acres underlying the Mall and subsequent lease back of that property. The $1,645,000 was used to pay the outstanding obligations on the Mall structure, which is now unencumbered. In connection with the acquisition of the Mall, the Company assumed obligations of Seashore to pay $567,000 in currently unsecured debts owed by Seashore. Of these debts, $500,000 is due to a family trust that is managed by a director of the Company. The $67,000 obligation is due to a director of the Company for funds advanced on behalf of Seashore in connection with the Mall. The Company is currently seeking to retain the services of a management company in Dickinson, North Dakota to manage this property. Currently, the average rent per square foot received is approximately $.52. Hospitality Inn, Dickinson, North Dakota ---------------------------------------- The Company has also acquired a general partnership interest in a limited partnership. The primary asset of the limited partnership is a Hospitality Inn, formerly a Travelodge Hotel, in Dickinson, North Dakota. The general partnership interest represents a 49% interest in the limited partnership. The Inn is a 149-unit full service hotel and has the largest meeting facilities in Dickinson. A 125-seat restaurant and a 110-seat cocktail lounge are located in the Inn. The Inn is approximately 318,500 square feet. The Inn is located just off of I-94 at exit 61 and Highway 22, and is near such attractions as the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the Badlands, Dickinson State University, Dakota Dinosaur Museum, and a golf course. The limited partnership purchased the Inn for $4,000,000 in 2001. There is a first trust deed on the Inn in the amount of $800,000.00 and a second trust deed in the amount of $400,000.00. These notes mature August and June 2003, respectively. Both the first and second trust deeds are currently in default and payments are not being made on either trust deed. The Inn is losing money on a monthly basis. Currently, the outstanding accounts payable total approximately $300,000. The Inn also owes approximately $37,000 in federal taxes. The Inn also requires approximately $250,000 in deferred maintenance in the immediate future. 6 The limited partnership has entered into a contract to sell the Hospitality Inn to a third party for $2,400,000. Following closing, the first and second trust deeds will be extinguished and the limited partnership will receive a residential lot in Poway, California valued at no less than $1,200,000. The lot is vacant and unencumbered. Pursuant to the terms of the contract of sale, the limited partnership is required to cure the $300,000 in accounts payable. The buyer of the Inn has agreed to help pay certain accounts payable, not to exceed $50,000. The limited partnership will be responsible to resolve the remaining outstanding accounts payable. It is anticipated that the limited partnership will borrow against the Poway lot to raise the funds to pay this obligation. Finally, the limited partnership agreement provides that the Company, as general partner, must buy out the limited partners for $2,000,000 in June 2003. Some of the limited partners are officers and/or directors of the Company. At this time, the Company is negotiating a buyout of the limited partners with shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. If the Company defaults on its obligation to buyout the limited partners, the Company's 49% interest in the limited partnership reverts back to the limited partnership. Strip Mall, Spencer Springs, Las Vegas, Nevada ---------------------------------------------- The Company has acquired a 50% interest in a limited liability company that owns a strip mall in the Spencer Springs area of Las Vegas, Nevada. The strip mall is located near McCarren International Airport in an area surrounded by new complexes, high end residential developments, apartments and condominium projects. It is the only retail center in the immediate area. Spencer Springs has 14 retail rental units totaling 24,336 square feet. Currently, approximately 23,136 square feet or 95% of the strip mall is occupied. The strip mall enjoys a mix of national, regional and local tenants. The strip mall was built in the early 1990's and has been well maintained. No significant renovations are anticipated in the immediate future. Spencer Springs is managed by Equity Group of Las Vegas, a professional property management group. The Company pays Equity Group a monthly fee of approximately $1,740 to manage Spencer Springs. The Company anticipates the retention of Equity Group to manage the properties. Spencer Springs has an estimated market value of $3,750,000. The outstanding indebtedness on Spencer Springs was approximately $2,135,000 on December 31, 2002. The note on the property matures in August 2008, with a balloon payment of approximately $1,900,000 due on maturity. The annual interest rate on the note is 9.7%. Pursuant to an agreement between Seashore and the other members of the limited liability company that own Spencer Springs, Seashore is required to purchase the other 50% interest in the limited liability company by August 2003 for $1,000,000. The purchase price may be paid in cash or securities at the option of the other members, one of whom is an officer and director of the Company. If the Company is unable to meet this obligation by August 2003, the owners of the other 50% interest in the limited liability company are entitled to acquire the Company's 50% interest for $100. 7 For the year ended December 31, 2002, Spencer Springs generated net income of $27,224. Pursuant to the limited liability company operating agreement, however, all of the depreciation on the property is retained by the managing members of the LLC, which did not include Seashore. This resulted in a taxable gain of approximately $41,600 to Seashore even though there was only net income of $27,224. If the Company is not successful in buying out the managing members of the limited liability company or renegotiating the operating agreement, it could be confronted with the same dilemma in the 2003 tax year of having to report a net income with no corresponding cash flow. Decatur Square, Las Vegas, Nevada --------------------------------- The Company also acquired a 50% interest in a limited liability company that owns a strip mall known as Decatur Square. This strip mall is located on the corner of Decatur and Lake Mead Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is in a prominent location with a high traffic count. Decatur Square is surrounded by mid to high end residential developments. Decatur Square currently has 12 retail rental units totaling approximately 16,500 square feet. Currently, approximately 13,500 square feet or 82% of the strip mall is occupied. Upon acquisition, the Company will seek to lease the remaining unoccupied space. The units vary in size from 950 square feet to 2,000 square feet. Currently, there are three individual tenants that each rent more than 10% of our total square footage. Decatur Square was built in 1990 and has been well maintained. No significant renovations are anticipated in the immediate future. Decatur Square is also managed by Equity Group of Las Vegas, a professional property management group for a monthly fee of approximately $1,000. The Company anticipates the retention of Equity Group to manage the properties. The estimated fair market value of the property is $1,500,000. As of December 31, 2002, the property was encumbered for approximately $1,090,000. The rate of interest on this encumbrance is 9%. Pursuant to the limited liability company operating agreement, the Company is required to purchase the remaining 50% interest in the limited liability company from its other five members by August 2003. The Company is negotiating an agreement with those other limited liability company members to acquire their interests for 1,552,480 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company valued at $.50 per share and $123,760. One of the limited liability company members is the family trust which is managed by an officer and director of the Company. That trust will receive approximately 317,000 shares of the Series B Convertible Stock. The Company is negotiating the sale of Decatur Square to an independent third party. If the property is sold, two officers and directors of the Company will receive commissions in connection with the sale in the amount of $25,000 and $30,000 respectively. It is anticipated that the commissions will be paid in Series B Convertible Preferred Stock valued at $.50 per share. 8 Office Building, Newport Beach, California ------------------------------------------ The Company also recently acquired a 18% interest in a limited liability company, Diversified Commercial Brokers, LLC for $81,675. The remaining 82% interest in Diversified is owned by two directors of the Company. The primary asset of Diversified is an 8,685 square office building located at 5030 Campus Drive in Newport Beach, California. In November 2002, the office building was appraised at $1,150,000. The building is currently subject to a first trust deed in the amount of $740,000 and a second trust deed in the amount of $110,000. The land on which the office building sits is leased. The ground lease payment is currently $2,340 per month. The ground lease adjusts to $3,610 on July 1, 2004 and will adjust again to equal 8% of the market value of the leased premises on July 1, 2009. The lease expires on June 30, 2034, with two ten-year options which could extend the lease to June 30, 2054. The office building contains twelve office suites, eleven of which are currently being rented out. It is anticipated that the final office suite will be rented in the near future. The average rent per square foot is approximately $1.55. The property is managed by PSG Enterprises, an unrelated third party. PSG Enterprises charges Diversified $750 a month in management fees With the acquisition of these and other properties, the Company hopes to become a financially viable business. Currently, however, the Company has liabilities in excess of current assets. Moreover, through the end of the transition period, the Company had no revenue producing activities and was dependent upon its officers and directors to provide for its cash requirements. These factors indicate considerable doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Employees The Company currently has four full time employees including its officers. The Company anticipates hiring up to two additional employees during the next twelve months.

The Company's lease expires in January 2006. As disclosed in Item 1 above, the Company recently acquired interests in six properties.

Further, the Company is not aware of any material pending or threatened litigation to which the Company or any of its directors, officers or affiliates are or would be a party. Item 4.

The above information was obtained from Pink Sheets, LLC, located at 304 Hudson Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10013. 10 Currently, none of the Company's common shares are subject to outstanding options or warrants to purchase common equity of the Company. The Company's common shares are subject to conversion of the Company's outstanding convertible preferred stock. The Company's currently outstanding 7,370,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock cannot be converted to common shares of the Company for 36 months from the date they were issued. Thereafter, they may be converted at any time on a one share for one share basis so long as the average closing bid price per share of the Company's common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion is greater than or equal to the purchase price per share originally paid for the Series A shares. If the average bid price per share is lower than the purchase price paid per share, the holder of the Series A shares shall be entitled to convert at a rate equal to the purchase price divided by the common stock price. The Company has not yet issued, but anticipates issuing at least 1,552,480 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred shares. The Series B shares cannot be converted until 24 months from the date they are issued. The Series B shares are converted at the same rate as the Series A shares. The Company has no agreements to register shares on behalf of shareholders currently holding unregistered securities. The Company has not paid, nor declared, any dividends since its inception and does not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company's ability to pay dividend is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities On March 31, 2003, the Company issued 3,630,000 restricted Common shares and 7,370,000 restricted Series A Convertible Preferred shares to Seashore Diversified Investment Company in exchange for interests in two properties, membership interests in two limited liability companies and a general partnership interest in a limited partnership. The shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and from similar applicable state securities laws, rules and regulations exempting the offer and sale of these securities by available state exemptions. No general solicitation was made in connection with the offer or sale of these securities. No funds were received by the Company for these shares. Item 6. Plan of Operations Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to operate the properties we recently acquired and to acquire additional ownership interests in a portfolio of properties that are geographically and functionally diverse. The Company believes that by acquiring properties that are geographically and functionally diverse its portfolio will be more stable and less susceptible to devaluation resulting from regional economic downturns and market shifts. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring properties in markets with strong regional economies and where a sufficient number of properties are available to help insure a liquid market. In addition to real estate holdings the Company acquired from Seashore, it will seek to acquire up to twelve additional real estate properties in the next twelve months. The Company has identified potential acquisition properties in Newport Beach, California, Bismark North Dakota, Wichita, Kansas and Texas. The Company will primarily seek to acquire properties either through the issuance of its preferred and common stock or through the use of tenants in common agreements. The Company will rely on the experience and contacts of current management and the board of directors to assist it in identifying suitable acquisition candidates. 11 As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $6,058 cash on hand and has experienced losses from inception. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had total current liabilities amounting to $68,111. Since inception the Company has sustained continued losses and has an accumulated operating loss since inception of $3,425,066. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no revenue producing activities and is completely dependent upon its officers and directors to provide for its cash requirements. These factors indicate considerable doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, while the Company hopes to be successful in its efforts to acquire and manage real estate holdings, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful. Many factors, some of which may be beyond the control of the Company, may make it difficult or impossible for the Company to be successful in its new business pursuits. These factors include, but are not limited to the ability of the Company to locate, identify and acquire properties that can be operated or sold at a profit; the ability of the Company to acquire properties for its securities or pursuant to tenants in common agreements, as noted herein, the Company has very limited cash or other assets available to it to use for the acquisition of properties; the ability of management to efficiently manage and operate the properties it acquires, particularly given that the Company will seek to acquire properties in diverse markets; changes in interest rates; regional economic downturns in markets where the Company owns properties or a general economic downturn across the country; and the inability of the to liquidate properties in downturning markets.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express and opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit provides 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., at December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, in the United States of America.

27 (1) Officer and/or director of the Company. (2) The term "beneficial owner" refers to both the power of investment (the right to buy and sell) and rights of ownership (the right to receive distributions from the Company and proceeds from sales of shares). REIT Consultants, LLC ("REIT") is the registered owner of 2,000,000 shares of Company common stock. REIT is a manager managed limited liability company. Ronald Robinson is the manager of REIT. The profits and losses of the limited liability company are allocated according to the percentage ownership of the total member interests. No member has the right to demand or receive any distribution from a limited liability company in any form other than cash. REIT has five members all of which are trusts. The trustees of the trusts, which are members of REIT, are as follows: William S. Biddle is the trustee of the William S. Biddle Family Trust, which owns a 16.7% interest in REIT; Sumyie Onodera-Leonard is the trustee of the Sumyie N. Onodera Familty Trust, which owns a 25% interest in REIT; Robert J. Leonard is the trustee of the Robert J. Leonard Family Trust, which owns a 25% interest in REIT Robert J. Leonard is the spouse of Sumyie Onodera- Leonard; Clifford L. Strand is the trustee of the C.L. Strand Trust, which owns a 16.7% interest in the LLC; and Myra and Wayne Sutterfield are the trustees of the Wayne Sutterfield Family Trust which owns a 16.6% interest in REIT. These individuals, in their capacity as trustees, or spouses of trustees, could be deemed to have beneficial ownership in the number of shares of the Company owned by REIT that corresponds to the trust's percentage ownership in REIT because of the respective trust's rights of ownership. (3) Clifford L. Strand, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, is also the President of Seashore Diversified Investment Company. As such, he may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of all shares held by Seashore. (4) Based upon representations made by Seashore, with the exception of Munjit Johal, the other officers and directors of the Company may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Seashore. Therefore, each could be deemed to have an indirect beneficial ownership interest in a corresponding percentage of the Company Common and Preferred Stock owned by Seashore. There are no contracts or other arrangements that could result in a change of control of the Company. Item 12.

This free rent was of nominal value. The Company has since moved its offices and entered into a lease agreement. Subsequent to the end of the transition period, the Company paid $25,000 in commission to Clifford L. Strand, its CEO, President and director for services rendered in connection with the land sale and ground lease back of the 6.66 acres underlying the T-Rex Mall acquired by the Company on March 31, 2003. Subsequent to the end of the transition period, the Company completed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Seashore. As consideration for the assets acquired, Seashore was issued 3,630,000 shares of restricted Common Stock and 7,370,000 shares of restricted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Seashore may be deemed to a related party to the Company through common management and control. 28 PART IV Item 13. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Reports on Form 8-K.
