Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2003
NOTE 1 - Going Concern
- ----------------------
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course
of business. The Company, since its inception has sustained continued
losses. Currently, the Company does not have significant cash, nor does it
have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating
costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company does not
currently possess a financial institution source of financing and the
Company cannot be certain that its existing sources of cash will be
adequate to meet its liquidity requirements.
There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in any of its
endeavors or will become financially viable.
NOTE 2 - Nature of Operations
- -----------------------------
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, and otherwise dealing with literary properties and materials,
copyrights, licenses, and to carry on a negotiation for, production of,
properties in the entertainment industry, 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.
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 August 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. On
September 18, 2002, the OTCBB symbol for the Company's common stock was
changed for BCAM to SCDI. The shareholders also approved amendments to the
Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of the
Company's Common Stock from $.005 to $.001 and to authorize 50,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01.
On November 15, 2002, the Company notified the Securities and Exchange
Commission of their change in fiscal year end from October to December.
From this point forward the Company will be reporting on a regular
quarterly and yearly basis.
Because of the Company's failure to develop its entertainment business,
management of the Company decided to pursue the acquisition of ownership
interest in 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 form regional economic
downturns and market shifts. The Company is currently focusing on
acquiring properties in markets with strong regional economies.
NOTE 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------
A. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and majority-owned subsidiaries (Decatur
Center). Intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
B. Investments in companies in which the Company has 20% to 50%
other than temporary ownership interest (Spencer Springs) are
carried at cost, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share
of undistributed earnings or losses. Investments in companies in
which the Company owns less than 20% interest (Campus Drive
Office Building) are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.
C. The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.
D. Revenues, currently consisting of rental revenues, are recognized
in the period the rent is earned.
E. The Company considers all short term, highly liquid investments,
that are readily convertible to known amounts within ninety days
as cash equivalents. The Company currently has no such
investments.
F. Basic Earnings per Share 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.
G. 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.
H. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures; for example, the estimated useful lives
of assets and the fair value of real property. Accordingly,
actual results could differ form those estimates.
I. The fair value of notes payable to related parties cannot be
determined due to the related party nature of the obligations.
The carrying amounts of other assets and liabilities, qualifying
as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of their fair
value.
J. Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method for
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax
basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or
deductible amounts in the future. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets are
reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Cumulative losses
incurred since inception create a net operating loss that can
offset future tax liabilities; however, because of the
uncertainty of the Company's ability to utilize the benefit, an
allowance was created to offset the entire benefit (deferred tax
asset).
NOTE 4 Related Party Transactions
- -----------------------------------
During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the Company acquired certain real
estate holdings from a related party, Seashore Diversified Investment
Company ("Seashore"), a Maryland corporation; certain directors and

stock and 4,997,807 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for two

T-Rex Mall. The Company acquired a 100% ownership interest of an 89,642

property. Of these debts, $500,000 was due to a family trust that is
managed by Wayne Sutterfield, and $67,000 is due to Mr. Sutterfield for

certificates have not yet been issued, the $500,000 is included as Series B
preferred stock in the accompanying financial statements. The Company has
agreed to secure the $67,000 obligation with the property. The Company
paid Clifford L. Strand, President and CEO of the Company $25,000 in
commissions related to the transaction. Concurrently with the acquisition,
the Company sold the land under the mall for $1,645,000 to an unrelated 3rd

used to pay off the $1,415,000 mortgage on the property and to pay closing
costs.

square foot strip mall on Katella Avenue in Orange, California. In

remaining 50% interest in the property for $1,000,000 at which time,
commissions totaling $100,000 will be paid to Biddle, Clifford L. Strand,

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company
appearing elsewhere in this report. Such financial statements have been
prepared to reflect the Company's financial position as of March 31, 2003,
together with the results of operations and cash flows for the periods
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.
Forward-Looking Statements
Historical results and trends are not necessarily indicative of future
operations. Management's statements contained in this report that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results may differ
materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. The
Company intends 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 is including this statement
for purposes of complying with such provisions. Forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future
plans, strategies and expectations of management, are generally
identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," "prospects," or similar expressions.
The Company's 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 the operations and future prospects of the
Company include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic
conditions and in the real estate market specifically (including those in
the local economy of the regions where the Company's properties are
located), legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital,
interest rates, competition and supply and demand for operating properties
in the Company's current and proposed market areas. These risks and
uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on any such statements.
Further information concerning the Company and its business, including
additional factors that could materially affect the Company's financial
results, is included herein and in the Company's other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements after the date this report is filed
to conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company believes that
its critical accounting policies are those that require significant
judgments and estimates such as those related to revenue recognition and
allowance for uncollectible receivables and impairment of real estate
assets and deferred assets. These estimates are made and evaluated on an
on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as
various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and those
estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Uncollectible Receivables
Base rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
terms of the respective lease agreements. Differences between rental
income recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements
are credited or charged, as applicable, to rent receivable. The Company
maintains, as necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required payments
that will result in a reduction to income. Management determines the
adequacy of this allowance by continually evaluating individual tenant
receivables considering the tenant's financial condition, security
deposits, letters of credit, lease guarantees and current economic
conditions.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
- --------------------------------
The Company assesses the impairment of a real estate asset when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value may not be
recoverable. Indicators management considers important that could trigger
an impairment review include the following:
- significant negative industry or economic trend;
- a significant underperformance relative to historical or
projected future operation results; and
- a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used.

Acquisitions
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. Specifically, the
Company acquired two properties and interests in two limited liability
companies in exchange for 2,461,606 shares of restricted common stock of
the Company and 4,997,807 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of
the Company. The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred shares have the

Despite best efforts of both parties, the Company has been unable to
consummate a fifth acquisition of the Hospitality Inn. Due dilegence of
the acquisition is on going.
Following is a brief description of the interests the Company acquired
from Seashore.
Katella Center, Orange, California

interest on the loan. This note is due and payable on May 15, 2004.
All delinquent property taxes have been paid in full and are thus

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The comparability of the financial information discussed below is
limited by acquisitions and dispositions completed during the quarter ended
March 31, 2003. As discussed above, during the quarter ended March 31,
2003, the Company acquired a 100% ownership interest in a 9,500 square foot
strip mall in Orange California and a 90,000 square foot enclosed mall in

foot, strip mall in Las Vegas, Nevada, the other owned a 100% interest in a
16,500 square foot strip mall also located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002
----------------------------------------------------
As previously noted, comparability of the financial information
discussed below is materially impacted by the property acquisitions during
the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Rental Income.
--------------
Rental income consists of monthly base rent, a percentage of common-
area rent, if applicable, pursuant to tenant leases and property operating
expenses recovered from tenants. Rental income increased to $36,586 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2003 due to the Company acquiring properties
and beginning active operations.
Operating and Administrative Expenses.
--------------------------------------
Operating and administrative expenses consist primarily of third party
legal and accounting fees and costs associated with the acquisition and
ownership of real properties. These expenses increased $273,042 to
$286,354 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to $13,312 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2002. Management anticipates operating and
administrative expenses to continue to increase throughout the remainder of
fiscal 2003 as the Company seeks to acquire additional real estate holdings
and expand its operations.
Depreciation.
-------------
Depreciation for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $9,034. The
depreciation was attributable primarily to the Katella Center, T-Rex Mall
and to a new phone system.
Interest Expense.
-----------------
Interest expense consists of mortgage interest paid on the Company's
properties and the amortization of deferred financing fees. Interest
expense of $13,365 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was attributable to
the Katella Center and T-Rex Mall properties.
Net Loss.
---------
Net Loss was $308,132 or $0.13 per share basic and diluted for the
quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of $13,312 or $0.01 per
share basic and diluted for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Capital Resources
-----------------
At March 31, 2003, the Company had $3,186 of cash and cash equivalents
as compared to $6,058 of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2002 to
meet its immediate short-term liquidity requirements. As stated in Note 1
Going Concern, the Company does not have significant cash or other material
assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to
cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern.
Moreover, the Company does not currently possess a financial institution
source of financing. The Company anticipates that it will be dependent for
a significant period of time on additional investment capital to fund
operating expenses, to meet debt service obligations, and to fund
additional property acquisitions before achieving profitability. Since its
inception, the Company has covered its capital requirement shortfall
through additional financing from its control shareholders. Because of the
Company's current negative equity position, fund-raising from non-
affiliated third parties may be difficult resulting in continued reliance
upon funding from its control shareholders. These control shareholders,
however, are under no obligations and have made no commitments to continue
to fund the Company.
Operating cash flows are expected to increase as additional properties
and investments in unconsolidated real estate are added to the Company's
portfolio. Cash and cash equivalents decreased since December 31, 2002
principally as a result of operating expenses.
To date, the Company has paid no dividends and does not anticipate
paying dividends into the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
- ------------------------------------
Net cash used by operating activities was $110,799 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 compared to net cash used by operating
activities of $61,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This
increase in cash used by operating activities relative to the prior period
was primarily due to the Company's increased administrative and operating
costs as it began to acquire real estate holdings and expenses relating to
audit, legal and expanded compliance with federal and state securities
laws. The Company had no operations during the same quarter of 2002.
Management expects cash flows from operating activities to increase
due to the acquisitions of the Katella Center, T-Rex Mall, and the limited
liability company membership interest in Spencer Springs and the Campus
Drive Office Building completed during and subsequent to the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, as well as the acquisition of additional properties and
investments in unconsolidated real estate during the remainder of the year
as the Company strategically build its real estate portfolio. Management
is currently considering other potential opportunities to acquire real
estate. The decision to acquire one or more properties or investments in
unconsolidated real estate will generally depend upon (i) receipt of a
satisfactory environmental survey and property appraisal, (ii) an absence
of any material adverse change relating to the property, its tenants, or
local economic conditions, and (iii) adequate financing. There is no
assurance that any of these conditions will be satisfied or, if satisfied,
that the Company will purchase any additional properties or make any
further investments in unconsolidated real estate.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
---------------------------------------
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $124,450 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $0 for the three months ended
March 31, 2002. The Company invested $81,675 in investments in
unconsolidated real estate operating properties during the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, (including $37,250 for tenant improvements at the T-Rex
Mall and $5,850 for a new phone system. In comparison, the Company spent
$0 in real estate investments during the quarter ended March 31, 2002
At March 31, 2003, the Company does not have any material planned
capital expenditures resulting from any known demand based on existing
trends. However, management may conclude that expenditures to improve
properties are necessary and/or desirable.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
------------------------------------
Cash provided by financing activities amounted to $232,376 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to $61,189 for the three months
ended March 31, 2002. The primary reason for the increase was purchases of
real property. Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 increased by $171,187 as a result of borrowings related to
the acquisition of real estate holdings compared to $0 borrowed under notes
payable for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The major offsetting use of
cash in connection with financing activities included $59,919 in principal
payments on notes payable, primarily related to the repayment of unsecured
debt to a related party.
The Company intends to acquire additional properties and make
additional investments in unconsolidated real estate and may seek to fund
these acquisitions through proceeds received from a combination of
subsequent equity offerings, debt financings or asset dispositions.

required with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
