The meeting will be held at 3273 E. Warm Springs, Rd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89120 on June 2, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, to elect directors to serve until the next annual meeting or until their successors are elected and qualified, to approve the 2006 Stock Option Plan, and to transact any other business that may properly come before or any adjournment of the meeting. This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to shareholders on or about May 22, 2006.
 
RECORD DATE
 
The Board of Directors of Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. has fixed the close of business on April 20, 2006, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting.
 
PROXY SOLICITATION
 
In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors through use of the mails, proxies may also be solicited by Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. and its directors, officers and employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefore) by telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication, and/or by personal interview. We will reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians and other fiduciaries that hold shares of common stock in their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold such shares. We will bear the costs of the annual meeting and of soliciting proxies therefore, including the cost of printing and mailing this proxy statement and related materials. We have spent approximately $2,000 in legal and other expenses in the preparation of this proxy statement and other expenses connected with the solicitation of security holders. It is anticipated that we will spend an additional $1,000 in solicitation of security holders before the meeting is held.

Any questions or requests for assistance regarding our proxies and related materials may be directed in writing to Jan Wallace, at 5205 East Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, Arizona 85253.
 
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
 
The presence, in person, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. The above matters require for their approval the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

We have two (2) classes of voting securities entitled to vote at the annual meeting: Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. On the record date, there were 30,334,611 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by approximately 428 shareholders of record. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be considered. There were also outstanding at the record date 7,234,600 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by approximately 159 shareholders of record. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be considered. Holders of our outstanding voting shares do not have cumulative voting rights.

You may vote by either attending the meeting in person or by filling out and sending in your proxy. Voting shares that are represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies shall have previously been properly revoked (as provided herein), will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no contrary instructions are indicated, such shares will be voted for the named nominees for the Board of Directors identified herein and for approval of the 2006 Stock Option Plan. Shares represented by proxies that have voted against the propositions presented at the meeting cannot be used to postpone or adjourn the meeting in order to solicit more votes for the proposition.

Brokers who hold shares in a street name have the authority to vote when they have not received instructions from the beneficial owners. Brokers who do not receive instructions, but who are present in person or by proxy at the meeting will be counted as present for quorum purposes.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this proxy statement will be brought before the meeting. If other matters are properly presented, however, the persons named as proxy appointees will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. The grant of a proxy also will confer discretionary authority on the persons named as proxy appointees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on matters incident to the conduct of the meeting.
 
DISSENTERS’ RIGHT OF APPRAISAL
 
There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the scheduled matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.
 
REVOCATION OF PROXY
 
Any shareholder may revoke his, her, or its proxy (other than an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest) at any time before it is voted, by: (1) filing with the corporate secretary of Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. an instrument revoking the proxy; (2) returning a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or (3) attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not by itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, our Board of Directors met 9 times, in person or by telephonic conference. Each incumbent Director serving during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 attended at least 75% of the meetings.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Historically, we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with the Board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the Board or individual directors, as applicable, hear the views of stockholders and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. Any matter intended for the Board, or for any individual member or members of the Board, should be directed to our Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Jan Wallace, with a request to forward the same to the intended recipient. All such communications will be forwarded unopened.

COMPANY COMMITTEES

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has appointed an audit Committee to oversee our financial reporting and auditing matters. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of our financial statements and other services provided by our independent public accountants. The Audit Committee also reviews our internal accounting controls, practices and policies. The sole member of the Audit Committee is Peter Richman. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter.
 
7


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.

Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors does not maintain a standing compensation committee or other committees performing similar functions. The Board of Directors reviews the salaries and benefits of all employees, consultants, directors and other individuals that we compensate. The Board of Directors has no existing policy with respect to the specific relationship of corporate performance to executive compensation. The Board has set executive compensation at what the Board considers to be the minimal acceptable level necessary to retain and compensate the officer for his activities on our behalf.

The Nominating Committee

We do not currently have a standing nominating committee. Although we are not required to appoint and maintain a standing nominating committee, our full Board of Directors has evaluated the nomination process and abides by certain principals in the nomination of director candidates. In particular, when evaluating potential director nominees, the Board considers the following factors:

à  
The appropriate size of our Board of Directors;

à  
Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;

à  
The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;

à  
Experience in political affairs;

à  
Experience with accounting rules and practices; and

à  
The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.

Our goal is to assemble a Board of Directors that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board of Directors may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests. In addition, the Board of Directors identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board of Directors are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying

potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary.

Except as set forth below, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding and we are not aware of any pending 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.

Luis Leon v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd.

On April 6, 2005, we were served with a complaint in the matter of Luis Leon v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (case no. 05CC04651), filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. The complaint contains causes of action for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, intentional misrepresentation, violations of the California Labor Code. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial but including $116,359 of unpaid salary, $16,667 for one month unpaid vacation time, $5,548 for unpaid insurance benefits through August 15, 2005, reimbursable expenses of $288 plus a statutory penalty of $16,666 pursuant to Labor Code Section 201. Mr. Leon also seeks a grant of options to purchase $250,000 of our common stock. On April 17, 2006, plaintiffs filed a notice of settlement with the court indicating that the parties settled on April 7, 2006. The parties settled for $65,000 plus options for 150,000 shares of common stock at $0.15. Each party is responsible for their own attorney’s fees and costs.

Alliance Title Company, Inc. v. Secured Diversified

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. We are contesting the case vigorously and are proceeding with discovery. At this time we cannot make any evaluation of the outcome of this litigation. Alliance has requested that its reasonable costs and attorney’s fees be paid from the deposited funds.

Clifford L. Strand v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd.

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. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. and Ms. Jan Wallace have been named in this lawsuit. 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.
 
10


We filed a cross-complaint against all Plaintiffs, Alliance Title Company and Brenda Burnett, a former employee of Alliance. Our cross-complaint contains causes of action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent supervision, civil conspiracy, intentional interference with economic relations, negligent interference with economic relations, breach of oral agreement, breach of employment contract, breach of director/officers’ fiduciary duty, fraud/intentional misrepresentation, and declaratory relief. We are defending and prosecuting this case vigorously and are proceeding with discovery. At this time, we cannot make any evaluation of the outcome of this litigation.

William S. Biddle v. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd.

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. We are contesting this case vigorously and are proceeding with discovery. At this time, we cannot make any evaluation of the outcome of this litigation.
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Except as disclosed below, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction over the last three fiscal years or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.

1.  
On March 31, 2003, we completed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Seashore Diversified Investment Company (“Seashore”). Seashore was a related party through common management, control and shareholders. The Asset Purchase Agreement provided us a period to conduct due diligence to determine whether the assets were fair and reasonable. However, Seashore did not have the necessary books and records for us to properly evaluate the value and merit of the transaction. Nevertheless, our board of directors decided to forebear due diligence afforded under the Asset Purchase Agreement. We ultimately issued 2,461,607 common shares and 4,997,807 Series A preferred shares to Seashore to acquire Katella Center in Orange, California, T-Rex Plaza Mall in Dickinson, North Dakota, 50% interest in Spencer Springs LLC and 50% interest in Decatur Center LLC. Spencer Springs and Decatur Center each own a shopping center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

2.  
In the first quarter 2003, Mr. Wayne Sutterfield paid a $25,000 commission to Mr. Clifford L. Strand for services rendered in connection with the land sale and ground lease back of the 6.66 acres underlying the T-Rex Mall. Subsequently, on June 30, 2003, we impaired the property.

3.  
In March 2003, we formed Nationwide Commercial Brokers ("NCB") as our wholly-owned subsidiary. We capitalized NCB in the amount of $12,000 from which Messrs. Biddle and Strand were compensated for serving as broker of record and an officer, respectively, of NCB.

4.  
In April 2003, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Decatur Center, LLC. The selling members of Decatur Center, LLC, including William S. Biddle, received shares of our Preferred
 
11

 
  B Preferred Stock in connection with the sale. Mr. Biddle and Mr. Clifford L. Strand received commissions on the transaction in the amount of 60,000 shares and 50,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, respectively.
 
5.  
In November 2003, we acquired the remaining 50% interest in Spencer Springs, LLC. The selling members of Spencer Springs, LLC, including William S. Biddle, received shares of our Preferred B Preferred Stock in connection with the sale. Mr. Biddle and Mr. Clifford L. Strand received commissions on the transaction in the amount of 128,000 shares and 124,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, respectively.

6.  
In August 2003, we acquired the Hospitality Inn and Dickinson Management Company from Seacrest Partners, L.P. in exchange for shares of our common stock and preferred A stock. Certain of our officers, directors and a major shareholder owned a majority of the limited partnership interests of Seacrest Partners, L.P. We received no independent appraisal of the Hospitality Inn. However, the related parties involved certified that the transaction was fair and reasonable. We issued 1,445,029 shares of common stock and 2,464,971 shares of preferred A stock to acquire the Hospitality Inn.

7.  
In February 2004, William S. Biddle, Robert Leonard and Sumiye Onodera-Leonard, through their trusts, loaned us $150,000 bearing an interest rate of 12%. Messrs. Biddle and Leonard each received 50,000 shares of common stock for loaning us this money. The obligation was secured by Spencer Springs Shopping Center, and was later paid out in full from the proceeds of the sale of the property.

8.  
In December 2004, William S. Biddle and Robert J. Leonard together purchased a 37% membership interest in Spencer Springs, LLC valued at $350,000 for $200,000. The sole asset of Spencer Springs, LLC was the promissory note of Roger Anderson in the principal amount of $950,000 due October 28, 2007. The note was secured by the Spencer Springs Shopping Center.

9.  
In October, 2004, William S. Biddle and Clifford L. Strand along with our tenant-in-common partner, Denver Fund I, agreed to pay our property manager, Shaw & Associates, a $50,000 commission for bringing the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques in as a lessee for the Cannery West Shopping Mall. Under the agreement, Nationwide Commercial Brokers, our wholly-owned subsidiary, was to receive a portion of the commission amounting to $16,500. However, subsequently, this commission was divided between Clifford L. Strand and William S. Biddle.

10.  
In late 2004, we were informed by Clifford L. Strand and William S. Biddle that a prospective tenant of the Cannery West Shopping Center, known as the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques, needed financial assistance. Messrs. Strand and Biddle indicated that having this tenant was essential to stabilize the Cannery West Shopping Center and solicited among our board of directors interested persons to invest in the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques. While no other board member decided to invest, William S. Biddle and a shareholder of our company loaned $150,000 to the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques. At the same time, Mr. Biddle, on behalf of our company, afforded the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques rental abatements of two months and no CAMS for the first year of the five year lease. Because the Flamingo Road Arts and Antiques was in arrears on rent payments and received certain concessions on the lease, the appraisal came in at $500,000 less than the original sales price. As a result, the buyer requested a reduction in the sales price of $500,000.

Initially, the proposed contract for sale of the Cannery West Shopping Center in July of 2005 listed two brokers for a total of 4% commissions: 2% for KB Morris representing the buyer and

12

 
  2% for National Commercial Properties representing us. Mr. Biddle thereafter revised the agreement to include another 2% in commissions to Nationwide Commercial Brokers (“NCB”). Mr. Biddle told the board of directors that the 2% commission to NCB would go to two brokers, 1% for Certified Realty and another 1% for NCB, broken down as 20% to NCB and 80% to us. On July 13, 2005, Mr. Biddle, acting as our officer, submitted escrow instructions to Alliance Title, the escrow agent on this sales transaction, without the approval of the board of directors, requesting 20% of the sales price (or $18,000) be paid to NCB and the remaining 80% of the sales price (or $72,000) be paid to himself. After Mr. Biddle resigned as one of our officers and directors, he continued to submit escrow instructions to Alliance. The final escrow instruction listed $18,000 to NCB, $36,000 to Mr. Biddle and $36,000 to Mr. Cliff L. Strand. 
 
12.  
In July 2005, we sold our 100% interest in NCB to Robert Leonard for $50,000, a large shareholder of our company and the Chairman of NCB.

As used in this table, "beneficial ownership" means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to a security (i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, a security). In addition, for purposes of this table, a person is deemed, as of any date, to have "beneficial ownership" of any security that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date.

Clifford L. Strand and William S. Biddle, former officer and directors, are the managing members of REIT Consultants, LLC, a shareholder holding 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Five shareholders acquired control of REIT Consultants, LLC through their respective trusts thereby controlling the 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock as a result of a default on a loan. We have learned that the debt underlying the loan was repaid and, as such, no default occurred. Thus, our disclosure in our 2003 annual statement on Form 10KSB claiming that a default occurred was inaccurate. For this reason, Mr. Wayne Sutterfield, one of the five shareholders, renounced his control over the shares held in REIT Consultants, LLC.

Change in Control

On April 28, 2004, we and Denver Fund I, Ltd (“Denver Fund I”) entered into a Lease Agreement with Iomega Investments, LLC (“Iomega”) to lease the Cannery retail shopping center located on Flamingo Road in Las Vegas, Nevada. On the same date, Iomega granted us and Denver Fund I an option (the “Option Agreement”) to purchase the property commencing on May 14, 2004 for total consideration of $5,950,000. The $5,950,000 included an assumption of the first mortgage on the property in the principal amount of $4,100,000, and a balance of $1,850,000 to be paid partially by us and partially by Denver Fund I.

We and Denver Fund I exercised our right under the Option Agreement to purchase the property from Iomega. For our portion of the purchase price, we delivered to Iomega 250,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock (valued between the parties at $3.00 per share) and a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $155,000 (the “Promissory Note”), bearing interest at an annual rate of 7%. The principal amount of the Promissory Note was payable $50,000 at the six month anniversary, $50,000 at the 12 month anniversary and the remainder at maturity.

On December 14, 2005, we amended the terms of our portion of the purchase price with Iomega, and agreed to retire the Promissory Note in favor of Iomega by paying $40,000.00 immediately in lieu of paying $55,113.00 at maturity. We further agreed to convert Iomega’s 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our Common Stock as described below.

Following a letter request made by Iomega to convert its 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, we requested our transfer agent, Fidelity Transfer Company, to issue 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Iomega, trading at $0.05 per share, in exchange for Iomega’s 250,000 Series C Preferred Stock, which we valued at $3.00 per share in the Option Agreement. As a result of the conversion, Iomega now controls 40.00% of the outstanding shares and therefore has substantial voting control of our company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE NOMINEES. PROXIES SOLICITED BY SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.
 
PROPOSAL NO. 2: APPROVAL OF 2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN

At the annual meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and to take action on the 2006 Stock Option Plan. On March 8, 2006, our Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan of Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd (the “2006 Plan”). The purpose of this Plan is to strengthen our company and subsidiaries by providing incentive stock options as a means to attract, retain, and motivate key corporate personnel through ownership of stock, and to attract individuals of outstanding ability to render services to and enter the employment of our company or subsidiaries. The 2006 plan authorizes the grant of stock options during any 12 month period that does not exceed the greater of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of our total assets, or (3) 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock. The full text of the 2006 Stock Option Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit 1.1.
The board has not as yet issued any options under the plan.

In summary, this plan provides as follows:
 
TYPES OF STOCK OPTIONS
 
There shall be two types of Stock Options (referred to herein as "Options" without distinction between such different types) that may be granted under this Plan: (1) options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Qualified Stock Options”), and (2) options not specifically authorized or qualified for favorable income tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (“Non-Qualified Stock Options”).
 
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
 
This Plan shall be administered by a “Compensation Committee” or “Plan Administrator” composed of members selected by, and serving at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have authority to construe and interpret the Plan; to promulgate, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to its administration; to select, from time to time, among the eligible employees and non-employee consultants (as determined pursuant to Section 5) those employees and consultants to whom Stock Options will be granted; to determine the duration and manner of the grant of the Options; to determine the exercise price, the number of shares and other terms covered by the Stock Options; to determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to Stock Option holders without constituting termination of their employment for purposes of the Plan; and to make all of the determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the Plan. The
 
17

 
interpretation and construction by the Plan Administrator of any provision of the Plan, or of any agreement issued and executed under the Plan, shall be final and binding upon all parties. No member of the Committee or Board shall be liable for any action or determination undertaken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any agreement executed pursuant to the Plan.
 
GRANT OF OPTIONS
 
We are hereby authorized to grant Incentive Stock Options as defined in section 422 of the Code to any employee or director (including any officer or director who is an employee); provided, however, that no person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock shall be eligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan unless at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted the Option price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the Option, and such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

An employee may receive more than one Option under the Plan. Non-Employee directors shall be eligible to receive Non--Qualified Stock Options in the discretion of the Plan Administrator. In addition, Non--Qualified Stock Options may be granted to Consultants who are selected by the Plan Administrator.
 
STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN
 
The stock available for grant of Options under this Plan shall be shares of our authorized but unissued, or reacquired, Common Stock. The aggregate sales price, or amount of securities sold, during any 12 month period may not exceed the greater of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of our total assets, or (3) 15% of our issued and outstanding common stock, including shares previously issued under this Plan or other stock option plans we created, whichever is greater. The maximum number of shares for which an Option may be granted to any Optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares. In the event that any outstanding Option under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of the Option shall again be available for Options under the Plan as if no Option had been granted with regard to such shares.
 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTION
 
Specific requirements for the terms and conditions of all Option Agreements entered into are detailed in the Plan.
 
TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
 
The Board of Directors may at any time terminate or amend the Plan; provided that, without approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, there shall be (with limited exception) no increase in the total number of shares covered by the Plan, no change in the class of persons eligible to receive options granted under the Plan, no reduction in the exercise price of Options granted under the Plan, and no extension of the latest date upon which Options may be exercised; and provided further that, without the consent of the Optionee, no amendment may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof.
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board Committee that administers the Plan, the members of the Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by us against
 
18

 
reasonable expense, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein to which they, or any of them, may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against any and all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by us). In addition, such members shall be indemnified by us for any amount paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any action, suit, or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall have been adjudged that such member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, provided however that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit, or proceeding, the member shall in writing offer us the opportunity, at our own expense, to handle and defend the same.
 
EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN
 
This Plan became effective on March 8, 2006. Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, this Plan will expire on March 8, 2016.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE 2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN. PROXIES SOLICITED BY SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD. WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS SHAREHOLDERS SPECIFY IN THEIR PROXIES A CONTRARY CHOICE.

SELECTION OF AUDITORS

The Board of Directors selected Kabani & Company, Inc., Certified Public Accountants, as our independent auditors and business advisers to examine our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

There will be no representative of Kabani & Company, Inc. at the annual meeting.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Committee Report

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of our internal controls and financial statements and the audit process. The sole member of the Audit Committee is Peter Richman. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors, Kabani & Company, Inc., certified public accountants, are responsible for performing an independent audit of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions With Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence.
 
19


Based on the review and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the Committee with regard to its oversight functions referred to below, the Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not experts in the fields of accounting or auditing, including with respect to auditor independence. Members of the Committee rely without independent verification on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or that Kabani & Company, Inc., certified public accountants, are in fact independent.

Independent Auditor Fees

Our Board of Directors reviews and approves audit and permissible non-audit services performed by our independent accountants, as well as the fees charged for such services. In its review of non-audit service fees and its appointment of Kabani & Company, Inc. as our independent accountants, the Board of Directors considered whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining independence. All of the services provided and fees charged by Kabani & Company, Inc. in 2005 and 2004 were approved by the Board of Directors. The following represents fees for audit services rendered by Kabani & Company, Inc. for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and fees billed for other services rendered by Kabani & Company, Inc. during those periods.

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed by our auditors for professional services rendered in connection with a review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were approximately $135,000 and $82,784 respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

Our auditors did not bill any additional fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed by our auditors for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning were $11,540 and 0 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

All Other Fees
 
The aggregate fees billed by our auditors for all other non-audit services, such as attending meetings and other miscellaneous financial consulting, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $0 and $0 respectively.
 
20


FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES

There were no fees billed by our auditors for: (a) directly or indirectly operating, or supervising the operation of, our information system or managing our local area network; or (b) designing or implementing a hardware or software system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements or generates information that is significant to our financial statements taken as a whole. As there were no fees billed or expended for the above services, our Board of Directors did not consider whether such expenditures were compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence from our company.

These statements are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based, among other things, on our current plans and expectations relating to expectations of anticipated growth in the future and future success under various circumstances.
