ITEM 3.02      UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On September 28, 2004 the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Nexia Holdings,
Inc. (the "Corporation") stating that it was "...aware that the Corporation is
experiencing cash shortages and the common shares of the Corporation have been
subject to substantial dilution as a result of the Corporation using its shares
of common stock as payment for services to its employees..." granted to the
Corporation's president Richard Surber 8,000,000 shares of the Corporation's
Series B Preferred stock. The Board further stated that it was in the
Corporation's best interest to retain Mr. Surber as the guarantor on certain
mortgages for the Corporation and its subsidiaries, such as the Kearns Building
located at 4115 South Sams Boulevard, Kearns, Utah; the Wallace Bennett
Building located at 55 South 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah and the State
Street Building located at 1370 - 1374 South State Street, Salt Lake City,
Utah.

The shares were issued to Mr. Surber as compensation for both his services as
president of the Corporation and guarantor of real estate mortgages for the
benefit of the Corporation and were issued to him in a private transaction
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1993.

The Series B Preferred Stock is designated as having a par value of $0.001 per
share and designated as senior to the Common Stock of the Company. In the event
of liquidation the shares have a priority right to $0.001 per share in any
distribution as a result of liquidation. These shares are given the same voting
rights as Common Shares on a five hundred-for-one (500 to 1) basis. The
8,000,000 shares thus increase Mr. Surber's voting right by 4,000,000,000
shares. As of September 20, 2004 the Corporation had 2,363,341,594 shares of
its common stock outstanding.
