SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2005 

NOTE 1 - Basis of presentation and Going Concern

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the presentation of interim financial information, but do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 were filed on May 18, 2005 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is hereby referenced. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Going concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $9,506,389 as of September 30, 2005. The Company reported a net loss of $717,702 on September 30, 2005. The continuing losses continue to adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and ability to operate. The Company continues to face serious significant business risks including, but not limited to, its ability to maintain vendor and supplier relationships by making timely payments when due.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management intends to sell certain properties, which are currently in escrow, and refinance existing properties to recapitalize the Company. There are no assurances that the refinancing or sales of the properties will occur or that the cash it generates will be adequate to meet the Company’s cash requirements, which will affect the Company’s ability to continue to operate. The Company intends to continue with efforts to raise additional funds through a private placement of its securities. However, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - Nature of Operations
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Utah on November 22, 1978. On July 23, 2002, the shareholders approved a change in domicile from Utah to Nevada. In accordance with Nevada corporate law, a change of domicile is effected by merging the foreign corporation with and into a Nevada corporation. On August 9, 2002, a merger between the Company and Book Corporation of America was completed. Upon completion of the merger Book Corporation of America was dissolved. On September 18, 2002, the OTCBB symbol for the Company’s common stock was changed from BCAM to SCDI. The shareholders also approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of
 
 
SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

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 $0.01. On November 15, 2002, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31.
 
During 2002, the Company began pursuing the acquisition of ownership interests in real estate properties that are geographically and functionally diverse in order to be more stable and less susceptible to devaluation resulting from regional economic downturns and market shifts. Currently, the Company owns shopping centers in Dickinson, North Dakota; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Orange, California; the Company also owns a single story office building in Newport Beach, California, and a vacant lot in Dickinson, North Dakota. The Company is currently focusing on acquiring properties in markets with strong regional economies. However, there are no certainties that the Company will be able to acquire any properties unless it raises capital.
 
NOTE 3 - Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it’s wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, which include Diversified Commercial Brokers (DCB) LLC (53.8%), Decatur Center LLC (100%) - an inactive company. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Estimates. 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 from those estimates.
 
Credit and concentration risk. The Company maintains deposit accounts in numerous financial institutions. From time to time, cash deposits may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains a certificate of deposit, in excess of federal deposit insurance limits, as collateral for a line of credit.
 
Revenue recognition. The Company’s revenues are derived from rental income. Rental revenues are recognized in the period services are provided. Brokerage commission fees are recognized when revenue is received.
 
Cash and cash equivalents. 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.
 
Restricted cash. The Company is required by a lender to maintain a $70,000 deposit in a bank account at the lenders financial institution. The deposit and 1st trust deed on real property serve as collateral for the loan. The deposit is returnable subject to the borrower meeting certain payment and financial reporting conditions.
 
Property and equipment. Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
 
Investments. The equity method of accounting is used for all investments in associated companies in which the company’s interest is 20% or more. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its
 

F-6
SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2005 


share in the net earnings or losses of these associated companies as they occur rather than as dividends are received. Dividends received are accounted for as a reduction of the investment rather than as dividend income. Losses from the equity investments reduce receivables from the associated companies.
 
Fair value. The carrying value for cash, prepaid, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.
 
Long-lived assets. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. 
 
Issuance of shares for service. The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services. The stocks were valued at the average fair market value of the freely trading shares of the Company as quoted on OTCBB on the date of issuance.

Loss per share. Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, all potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of which was antidilutive.

Reclassification. For comparative purposes, prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to report classifications of the current period. As a result of discontinued and disposed operations cash, at beginning of period, was adjusted to exclude discontinued and disposed operations for purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Advertising. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.

Segment Reporting. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

Recent accounting pronouncements. In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123" ("FAS No. 123R"). FAS No. 123R requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant- date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees. FAS No. 123R is effective beginning in the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets." The Statement is an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will have no material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a consensus on Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments." The EITF reached a consensus about the criteria that should be used to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other-than-temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss and how that criteria should be applied to investments accounted for under SFAS No. 115, "ACCOUNTING IN CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES." EITF 03-01 also included accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. Additionally, EITF 03-01 includes new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. In September 2004, the Financial Accounting

F-8
SECURED DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT, LTD.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2005 


Standards Board (FASB) delayed the accounting provisions of EITF 03-01; however the disclosure requirements remain effective for annual reports ending after June 15, 2004. The Company will evaluate the impact of EITF 03-01 once final guidance is issued.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless this would be impracticable. This statement also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of an accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of this interpretation will have on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
 
In June 2005, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 05-6, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements (“EITF 05-6”) EITF 05-6 provides guidance on determining the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination or acquired subsequent to lease inception. The guidance in EITF 05-6 will be applied prospectively and is effective for periods beginning after June 29, 2005. EITF 05-6 is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

On August 19, 2004, the Company obtained a written consent from the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to amend the Certificate of Designation. Such consent amends the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock to permit the Board of

employment agreements with the officers. Shares and stock options issued under the previous agreements will be rescinded. The employment agreements will provide for a reduced issuance of common stock and options vesting over the term of the agreement. Since then three officers have resigned, and the Company has set aside $177,000 in contingent liabilities as potential payout and settlement to these officers: Clifford Strand, former Chief Executive Officer, $90,000; William S. Biddle, former Vice President of Acquisitions, $45,000; and Gernot Trolf, former Chief Operating Officer and Asset Manager, $42,000, pending sale of the Cannery, currently in escrow.
 
Unpaid taxes. The Company has not paid approximately $10,039 in 2004 property taxes on the T-Rex Plaza Mall due October 1, 2005, and approximately $21,158 in property taxes and penalties on 5030 Campus Drive due April 10, 2005. These amounts are currently delinquent.
 
Litigation. On January 11, 2005, the Company terminated the employment of Luis Leon, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On April 6, 2005, Luis Leon filed a complain against the Company in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, alleging causes of action for breach of contract, promissory estoppels, intentional misrepresentation, violations of the California Labor Code. The Complaint seeks damages in an amount including $116,359 of unpaid salary, $16,667 for one month unpaid vacation time, $5,548.27 for unpaid insurance benefits through August 15, 2005, reimbursable expenses of $288 plus a statutory penalty of $16,666. Mr. Leon also seeks a grant of options to purchase $250,000 of Company Common Stock. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action. Given the early stage of litigation, the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome cannot reasonably be estimated, however, the estimated amount of the potential loss is approximately $140,000 plus costs of defense.

Disposition of Assets

The Cannery

On June 10, 2005, the Board of Directors determined that it was in the Company’s best interests to authorize management to conduct the sale of the Cannery property. Denver Fund I and the Company (as “Sellers”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions with Ray Koroghli or assignee (“Buyer”) for a sales price of $9,500,000. The escrow was amended to adjust the sales price to $9,000,000 and extended to close December 12, 2005. The Buyer deposited an additional $100,000, non-refundable, in order to extend the escrow. There will be no further extensions.

The Company received $51,000 of the $100,000 deposited by Buyer. Denver Fund I agreed to lend the Company its portion of the deposit, $49,000, until such time as the property is sold. If the escrow does not close, the Company agreed to execute a note in favor of Denver Fund I bearing an interest rate of 9% secured by the cash flow from the subject property. If the cash flow does not retire the debt, in no event will the obligation to repay Denver Fund extend beyond one year.

If the agreement with Buyer is consummated, there are commissions payable to a number of brokers, including Denver Fund I, Nationwide Commercial Brokers and National Commercial Properties. Nationwide Commercial Brokers is a former subsidiary of the Company. National Commercial Properties is an entity controlled by Mr. Ron Robinson, a former director of the Company.


5

The Board of Directors further resolved that the net proceeds from the sale, approximately $1.2 million, shall be put into an accommodator account and used to fund the purchase of another property. To further this goal, the board has instructed management to select three (3) properties for the board to consider. Consistent with this mandate, management is currently developing a plan to evaluate and acquire properties.

Nationwide

Nationwide Commercial Brokers ("NCB") was incorporated on March 27, 2003, under the laws of the State of California. It was incorporated to operate as a real estate brokerage. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which operates under the real estate brokerage license of William Biddle, former officer and director, and current major shareholder of the Company. NCB paid Biddle $2,500 per month for his services. The Company capitalized NCB in the amount of approximately $12,200. Although NCB was originally formed to be the exclusive broker for the Company, the plan never materialized. In July 2005, the Company sold its 100% interest in NCB to Robert Leonard for $50,000, a major shareholder of the Company and the Chairman of NCB. 

Effective November 1, 2005, NCB assumed the Company’s former offices at 4940 Campus Drive and agreed to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses costs (including without limitation reasonable court costs and attorneys’ fees), liabilities or damage of any kind or nature whatsoever that the Company may sustain by reason of NCB’s breach or non-fulfilment (whether by action or inaction), at any time. If NCB is unable to fulfil its obligations in assuming the lease and/or indemnifying the Company, the Company will be ultimately liable as if it were the sole participant on the lease.

      Vacant Lot, Dickinson, North Dakota

On October 18, 2005, the Company sold its vacant parcel of land in Dickinson, North Dakota to Morgan Rose Investment, LLC for $110,000. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of the lot in the approximate amount of $63,700. The sale of the lot resulted in the Company paying off a secured obligation against the property in the amount of $60,000 to Prime Time Auctions.

T-Rex Plaza Mall

On November 9, 2005, the Company sold the T-Rex Plaza Mall, Dickinson, North Dakota, for total consideration of $274,840, $50,000 of which represented was cash to the Company and the remainder was used to pay off an existing loan, secured by the property. The sale of the property resulted in the Company reducing its secured debt by $224,840 and being released from the land lease obligation currently totalling $14,401 per month.

Results of Operations
 
Revenue. The Company’s revenues are derived from rental income and brokerage commission fees derived from the sale of third party real estate transactions. For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company generated total revenue of $146,593, compared to revenue of $234,709 for the same three month period in the prior year. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company generated total revenue of $430,244, compared to revenue of $707,286 for the same nine month period in the prior year. The decrease in revenue for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the same reporting periods in the prior year is attributable to the disposal of the hotel operations in Dickinson, North Dakota, and a shopping center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Additionally, the Company also sold its brokerage operation in July 2005. The Company anticipates that total revenues will further decrease due to the disposition of the shopping center in Dickinson, North Dakota, and potential closing of the shopping center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Company intends to invest the revenue from the sale of the Las Vegas shopping center following the identification of suitable properties.

Operating Expenses. The Company’s only operating expenses are general and administrative expenses which consist primarily of payroll expenses, depreciation expense, legal and accounting fees and costs associated with the acquisition and ownership of real properties. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $668,152 from the same reporting period in the prior year when general and administrative expenses were $589,205. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in office rent and the contingent liability of a $177,000 contingent liability as a potential payout and settlement to former officers of the Company pending sale of the Cannery.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased to $2,091,217 from the same reporting period in the prior year when general and administrative expenses were $2,336,535. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to lower consulting fees paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Significant consulting fees were incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 in connection with efforts to raise additional working capital. The Company incurred $498,867 in consulting fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $967,080 for the same nine months in the prior year.
 
Operating Loss. Operating loss increased to $561,700 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to an operating loss of $466,353 for the same three month period in the prior year. From the nine months ended September 30, 2005 operating loss was $1,060,348 compared to $1,922,602 for the nine month ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in operating loss is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in general and administrative expenses from lower consulting fees paid during the reporting period.
 
Other Income and (Losses). Other losses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $40,141 compared to other losses of $111,857 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in other losses is attributable primarily to a reduction in interest expense. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $600,626 compared to other losses of $293,353 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The reporting of other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily attributable to management forgiving debt relating to accrued salary expense during the three months ended September 30, 2005 netting approximately $658,950.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Capital Resources
 
The Company does not have significant cash or other liquid 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 have a financial institution as a 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 larger 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 larger shareholders. These larger shareholders, however, are under no obligations and have made no commitments to continue to fund the Company.

At September 30, 2005, the Company had $11,745 of available cash and cash equivalents to meet its immediate short-term liquidity requirements. To date, the Company has paid no dividends and does not anticipate paying dividends into the foreseeable future.

The Company intends to fund operations for the year ending December 31, 2005 through increased revenue from additional property acquisitions and debt and/or equity financing arrangements. Thereafter, the Company may be required to seek additional funds to finance long-term operations. The successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan
or generate positive operating results.
 
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash used by operating activities was $870,295 for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 compared to net cash used by operating activities of $189,492 for the nine months ending September 30, 2004. Management is currently considering 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 from Investing Activities
 
Net cash from investing activities amounted to $1,473,949 for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 compared to $(7,104) for the nine months ending September 30, 2004.
 
At September 30, 2005, 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 used by financing activities amounted to $615,698 for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 compared to $140,780 for the nine months ending September 30, 2004. The primary reason for the decrease was attributable to no sales of stock and reduction in notes payable.
 
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.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates and 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:
 
à  
a significant negative industry or economic trend;
à  
a significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operation results; and
à  
a significant change in the manner in which the asset is used.

Item 3.     Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2005. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Jan Wallace, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Munjit Johal. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2005, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
