F-15 NEXIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2004 NOTE 1 - BASIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are those of Nexia Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative operating losses through September 30, 2004 of $11,675,279 and a working capital deficit of $1,272,201 at September 30, 2004 all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Revenues have not been sufficient to cover the Company's operating costs. Management's plans to enable the Company to continue as a going concern include the following: o Increasing revenues from rental properties by implementing new marketing programs. Making certain improvements to certain rental properties in order to make them more marketable. o Reducing negative cash flows by selling rental properties that do not at least break even. o Refinancing high interest rate loans. o Increasing consulting revenues by focusing on procuring clients that pay for services rendered in cash or highly liquid securities. o Reducing expenses through consolidating or disposing of certain subsidiary companies. Relying on shares of common stock issued pursuant to registered S-8 to cover labor costs for renovations of properties and the Company's staff. o Raising additional capital through private placements of the Company's common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company can or will be successful in implementing any of its plans or that they will be successful in enabling the company to continue as a going concern. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. F-16 NEXIA HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2004 NOTE 3 - MATERIAL EVENTS A subsidiary of the Company is nearing completion of improvements to the Wallace Bennett building in downtown Salt Lake City. Through September 30, 2004, there have been improvements totaling $529,000. Additional improvements completed in October total $44,000, and it is estimated an additional $100,000 will be spent to complete the project. The cost is being underwritten by issuing common stock to the general contractor for part and a bank construction loan for the balance. The bank loan balance as of October 14, 2004, was $733,138 with monthly payments of $6,948. It is estimated the loan balance will increase by another $100,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General Nexia operates in two primary areas of business through its subsidiaries: Nexia acquires, leases and sells real estate and provides financial consulting services. The following discussion examines Nexia's financial condition as a result of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and compares those results with the comparable period from last year. Real Estate Operations Nexia's objective, with respect to real estate operations, is to acquire, through subsidiaries, properties which management believes to be undervalued and which Nexia is able to acquire with limited cash outlays. Nexia will consider properties anywhere within the continental United States. Nexia attempts to acquire such properties by assuming existing favorable financing and paying the balance of the purchase price with nominal cash payments or through the issuance of shares of common stock. Once such properties are acquired, Nexia leases them to primarily commercial tenants. Nexia also makes limited investments to improve the properties with the objective of increasing occupancy and cash flows. Management believes that, with limited improvements and effective management, properties can be sold at a profit within a relatively short period of time. Nexia recorded rental revenues of $132,947 and $379,958 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 respectively, as compared to $107,426 and $346,650 for the same periods in 2003. Nexia's rental revenues for the comparative three month and nine months periods did not fluctuate significantly. Management's current belief is that rental revenues are stabilizing and with certain improvements being made to various properties rental revenues should improve over the next 12 months. Nexia had a loss from real estate operations of $146,345 and $311,297 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to a gain of $61 and a loss of $82,208 for the same periods in 2003. The increase in loss is attributable primarily to the increase in expenses relating to certain improvements made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. Nexia will continue efforts to improve profitability and cash flow by working to increase occupancy and rental income from those properties which have a high vacancy rate as well as focusing on properties with the highest per square foot rental rates. Nexia also intends to continue to purchase real estate primarily for appreciation purposes. Accordingly, Nexia hopes to not only minimize any real estate cash flow deficit, but also generate sufficient cash to record a substantial profit upon property disposition. 4 Consulting Operations Nexia, through its majority owned subsidiary, Hudson Consulting Group, Inc., ("Hudson") provides a variety of financial consulting services to a wide range of clients. The primary service performed by Hudson involves assisting clients in structuring mergers and acquisitions. This includes locating entities suitable to be merged with or acquired by Nexia's clients, as well as providing general advice related to the structuring of mergers or acquisitions. Hudson also assists clients in restructuring their capital formation and advises with respect to general corporate problem solving. Nexia's consulting subsidiary generates revenues through consulting fees payable in the client's equity securities, cash, other assets or some combination of the three. The primary form of compensation received is equity securities of clients. When payment is made in the form of equity, the number of shares to be paid is usually dependent upon the price of the client's common stock (if such price is available) and the extent of consulting services provided. When stock is received as payment it is booked as deferred revenue at its currently quoted market value. After the stock is sold, it is then booked as revenue along with an accompanying gain or loss on the sale. Nexia generates cash flow, in part, by liquidating non-cash assets (equity securities) received as fees for consulting services. As most fees are paid in the form of equity, the revenues and cash flows realized by Nexia are somewhat tied to the price of its clients' securities and Nexia's ability to sell such securities. A decline in the market price of a client's stock can affect the total asset value of Nexia's balance sheet and can result in Nexia incurring substantial losses on its income statement. Nexia's portfolio consists primarily of restricted and unrestricted shares of common stock in micro to small cap publicly traded companies. The Company's ownership in the above publicly traded companies is less than 20% and thus accounts for them as investments available for sale at the lower of cost or market. Nonetheless, Nexia's portfolio is considered extremely volatile. Revenues from Nexia's financial consulting operations decreased for the period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the comparable periods in 2003. Nexia recorded $52,700 and $109,133 in revenues for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, from its financial consulting operations as compared to $145,869 and $256,702 for the same periods in 2003. Nexia experienced a loss from consulting operations of $43,806 and $240,196 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to losses of $177,247 and $170,784 for the same periods in 2003. The increase in losses from consulting is a result of Nexia's efforts to restructure and redefine the types of services it will provide in the future. Nexia has significantly scaled back its consulting operations and is considering discontinuing such services. 5 Company Operations as a Whole Revenues Gross revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, were $185,647 and $489,091 respectively as compared to $253,295 and $603,352 for the same periods in 2003. The decrease in nine month revenues of $114,261 is primarily the result of the Company's decrease in the consulting revenue as a result of restructuring efforts. Losses Nexia recorded operating losses of $390,041 and $1,798,694 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to losses of $265,417 and $370,605 for the comparable periods in the year 2003. Nexia recorded net losses of $301,576 and $1,450,812 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, as compared to net losses of $237,847 and $118,996 for the same periods in 2003. The increase in losses is attributable primarily to the issuance of shares of common stock to pay for services rendered which increased expenses and the decreased consulting revenues. The increases in losses are primarily due to the issuance of shares of common stock for payment of services rendered. The shares in most cases are valued at market and usually liquated for substantially less than market. Subsequently, the issuance of shares because of certain accounting pronouncements shows the company financial picture by grossing up expenses, thereby creating higher losses than if the company paid for such services with cash. Nexia does not expect to operate at a profit through fiscal 2004. Since Nexia's activities are closely tied to the securities markets and the ability to operate its real estate properties at a profit, future profitability or its revenue growth tends to follow changes in the securities and real estate marketplace. There can be no guarantee that profitability or revenue growth can be realized in the future. Expenses General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, were $192,955 and $1,052,374, respectively, compared to $88,231 and $112,591 for the same periods in 2003. The increase in expenses is due primarily to directors' fees of $480,000 and $107,153 in legal and accounting fees. The Company issued 10,000,000 shares of restricted stock to each director as fees during the first quarter of the year which has a current value of approximately $80. Depreciation expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, were $99,574 and $102,213, respectively. This change was due primarily to the sale of properties by the Company. Capital Resources and Liquidity On September 30, 2004, Nexia had current assets of $419,564 and $3,761,422 in total assets. Nexia had a net working capital deficit of $1,272,201 at September 30, 2004. The working capital deficit is due primarily to mortgages, which will, or may, come due in the next twelve months and are thus considered as current liabilities. Part of the balance of long-term debt at September 30, 2004, is being carried as a current liability because of clauses which allow the mortgagee to call the notes. However, none of $1,015,256 will become due unless a default occurs. Consequently, the working capital deficit would be $285,394 If this portion of long term debt were removed from the calculation. The Company signed a real estate purchase contract on November 2, 2004, to purchase a 12 unit apartment building in Salt Lake City. The agreed to purchase price is $620,000, and completion of the transaction is contingent on the Company obtaining financing. Net cash used in operating activities was $63,665 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $318,853 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. 6 Cash used in investing activities was $303,951 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to cash used by investing activities of $31,229 for the same period in 2003. Cash provided by financing activities was $367,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to cash provided of $285,989 for the same period in 2003. Due to Nexia's debt service on real estate holdings, willingness to acquire properties with negative cash flow shortages and acceptance of non-cash assets for consulting services, Nexia may experience occasional cash flow shortages. To cover these shortages we may need to sell securities from time to time at a loss. In addition, the Company is currently experiencing challenges with regard to cash flows. We are looking at several options to improve this situation, including private or public placement of Nexia common stock. Stock and Options To Employees and Contractors Throughout the quarter ending September 30, 2004, Nexia's subsidiary, Hudson Consulting Group, Inc., has continued a policy of limited cash payments to its employees and relied primarily on the issuance of Nexia's common stock registered under the Company's S-8 Registration Statement for employee compensation. This has created significant dilution and will continue to dilute existing shareholders until such practices cease to be used as a method of compensating employees. Impact of Inflation Nexia believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years. Nexia believes that it can offset inflationary increases in the cost of materials and labor by increasing sales and improving operating efficiencies. Known Trends, Events, or Uncertainties General Real Estate Investment Risks Nexia's investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally incident to the ownership of real property. Real estate values and income from Nexia's current properties may be adversely affected by changes in national or local economic conditions and neighborhood characteristics, changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds, the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the ongoing need for capital improvements, changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, civil unrest, acts of God, including earthquakes and other natural disasters which may result in uninsured losses, acts of war, adverse changes in zoning laws and other factors which are beyond the control of Nexia. Value and Illiquidity of Real Estate Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. The ability of Nexia to vary its ownership of real estate property in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. If Nexia must sell an investment, there can be no assurance that Nexia will be able to dispose of it in the time period it desires or that the sales price of any investment will recoup the amount of Nexia's investment. Property Taxes Nexia's real property is subject to real property taxes. The real property taxes may increase or decrease as property tax rates change and as the property is assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. If property taxes increase, Nexia's operations could be adversely affected. 7 ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Nexia's president acts both as the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer ("Certifying Officer") and is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for Nexia. The Certifying Officer has concluded (based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report) that the design and operation of Nexia's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are effective and adequate. There were no significant changes made in Nexia's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect Nexia's controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to slight deficiencies and material weaknesses. Due to the Certifying Officer's dual role as chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Nexia has no segregation of duties related to internal controls. PART II-OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.

CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On September 21, 2004, the Company authorized the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock to Richard Surber, such shares were issued to retain Mr. Surber as a personal guarantor of certain mortgages for the Company and valued at $8,000. 8 Effective as of November 1, 2004 the Board of Directors and with the consent of a majority of the voting rights approved and set a 1 for 1,000 reverse stock split of the common stock of the Company. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock on that date have been subjected to a reverse split with every 1,000 outstanding shares being exchanged for 1 post-reverse share. All fractional shares shall be rounded up to the next whole share. The trading symbol of the company has been changed as of the effective date of the stated reverse split and is now "NEXH.OB." ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS In a schedule 14C Information Statement filed on October 16, 2004, Nexia's board provided information regarding the decision of the board that it would be in the Company's best interest to conduct a reverse split of its common stock on up to a one for one thousand basis and that the board had received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting rights of the Compan's securities to authorize the board to conduct such a reverse split in the Board's discretion. Final action was taken by the board and effective as of November 1, 2004 a 1 for 1,000 reverse split took effect. The board believes that the reverse split provides for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock. This process that is known as a reverse split will take up to one thousand shares of the issued and outstanding common stock on November 1, 2004 and convert those shares into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The board has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, Nexia will issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive fractional shares as a result of the process. Each shareholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the reverse stock split as that shareholder did immediately prior to the stock split, except for minor adjustment as a result of the additional shares that will need to be issued a result of the treatment of fractional shares. The primary purposes of the reverse stock split as set forth by the board in the Schedule 14C are to accomplish the following: a) increase the per share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets b) reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar anticipated market capitalization; and c) provide the management of the Company with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing for the Company. For the above stated reasons, the board believes that the reverse stock split is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. There can be no 9 assurance, however, that the reverse stock split will have the desired benefits Effects of the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split has been effected by filing an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State's office and an effective date of November 1, 2004 has been approved by the board of directors of the Company. Nexia is currently authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of its common stock of which 3,947,865,594 shares were currently issued and outstanding as of September 29, 2004. Shareholders holding votes equal to 4,172,426,643 have consented in writing to the proposal, this constitutes approval of 52.5% of the voting rights entitled to vote in any shareholder action. A reverse split on a 1 for one thousand basis would reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 3,947,866 but will not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock. The reverse split will not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock. The effect of the reverse split upon existing shareholders of the common stock will be that the total number of shares of Nexia=s common stock held by each shareholders will automatically convert into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock owned immediately prior to the reverse stock split divided by up to 1,000, with an adjustment for any fractional shares. (Fractional shares will be rounded up into a whole share). ITEM 5.
