Item 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
-------     -----------------------

General
-------

     Until July 2003, the Company owned T. R. Winston & Company, Inc. ("Winston,
Inc."), a licensed securities broker-dealer.  In July 2003, the Company sold 60%
of  Winston,  Inc.  to  two  executives  of  Winston,  Inc.  (the  "Agreement").
Subsequent  to  completion  of the  transaction,  the Company had no  management
responsibility  for  Winston.  In August 2004,  the Company  sold its  remaining
interest in Winston.

Acquisition of Cortech, Inc. ("Cortech"), by AVF
------------------------------------------------

     In 2004, Kent through its wholly owned  subsidiary Asset Value Fund Limited
Partnership  ("AVF"),  acquired an additional 139,328 shares of Cortech's common
stock for approximately $427,000,  increasing its ownership of Cortech to 50.06%
on June 30, 2004. Prior to that date, AVF had been accounting for its investment
in Cortech  based upon its fair value as  determined  by the  management of AVF.
This fair  value  ordinarily  was AVF's  proportionate  ownership  of  Cortech's
equity. Since AVF's ownership exceeded 50%, Cortech has been consolidated in the
accompanying   financial  statements.   (See  Note  16  for  proforma  financial
information.)  Cortech is  currently  seeking the  acquisition  of an  operating
business.  All of Cortech's  assets  excluding its  portfolio of  pharmaceutical
patents are invested in cash and United States Treasury Bills.

Kent Educational Services, Inc.
-------------------------------

     In August  2004,  the Company  formed a new  subsidiary,  Kent  Educational
Services,  Inc., ("KES"),  initially funded with $300,000. KES has purchased for
$300,000, a 60% controlling interest in The Academy for Teaching and Leadership,
Inc.,  ("The  Academy") a new company  formed to offer  educators  high  quality
programs designed to dramatically improve themselves,  their students, and their
schools.  The Academy is headed by Dr. Saul Cooperman,  a former Commissioner of
Education  in the State of New Jersey  during  the  administration  of  Governor
Thomas H. Kean.  The  Company's  interest in The Academy is recorded as an other
asset  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements,  as The  Academy  is in the
formation stage.

     Kent through AVF also owns 44% of General Devices, Inc. having purchased an
additional  714,413  shares of General  Devices for  $71,400 in  February  2005.
General Devices is currently seeking the acquisition of an operating business.

Employees
---------

     As of February 28, 2005, the Company and its wholly-owned  subsidiaries had
4 employees.

Item 2.     DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
-------     -----------------------

     The Company and certain of its affiliates  occupied the Company's corporate
office building in Bedminster,  New Jersey and shared direct occupancy costs. In
August 2004, the Company sold its corporate  office  building,  and is currently
leasing its required office space at the same location.

Item 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-------     -----------------

Environmental Matters - Texas American Petrochemicals, Inc. ("TAPI")
--------------------------------------------------------------------

     In January, 1988, an inactive subsidiary of the Company, TAPI, was notified
by  environmental  regulators  in  Texas  ("Texas  Regulators")  that  it  was a
potentially  responsible party ("PRP") in connection with a hazardous waste site
in the state.  TAPI  advised  the Texas  Regulators  that TAPI had no assets and
could not conduct a remedial investigation of the site. Based on information and
belief,  the Company  understands a remedial  action has been  authorized by the
Texas Regulations to clean up any contaminants.  The Company does not believe it
has any liability in connection with this environmental matter.

Item 4.     SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Item 6.     MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION AND
            --------------------------------------------------------------------
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            ---------------------

     This Form  10-KSB  contains  forward-looking  statements  which may involve
known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  that may cause the
Company's  actual  results and  performance  in future  periods to be materially
different from any future periods or performance suggested by these statements.

Acquisition of Cortech, Inc. by Asset Value Fund Limited Partnership (AVF)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In 2004,  AVF acquired an  additional  139,328  shares of Cortech's  common
stock for approximately $427,000,  increasing its ownership of Cortech to 50.06%
on June 30, 2004. Prior to that date, AVF had been accounting for its investment
in Cortech  based upon its fair value as  determined  by the  management of AVF.
(See  Note  1 of  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  more
information on fair value).  This fair value ordinarily was AVF's  proportionate
ownership of Cortech's equity. Since AVF's ownership now exceeds 50%, Cortech is
part of the consolidated results of AVF and included in the consolidated results
of AVF and the Company.

Kent Educational Services, Inc.
-------------------------------

     In August  2004,  the Company  formed a new  subsidiary,  Kent  Educational
Services,  Inc., ("KES"),  initially funded with $300,000. KES has purchased for
$300,000, a 60% controlling interest in The Academy for Teaching and Leadership,
Inc.,  ("The  Academy") a new company  formed to offer  educators  high  quality
programs designed to dramatically improve themselves,  their students, and their
schools.  The Academy is headed by Dr. Saul Cooperman,  a former Commissioner of
Education  in the State of New Jersey  during  the  administration  of  Governor
Thomas H. Kean.  The  Company's  interest in The Academy is recorded as an other
asset  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements,  as The  Academy  is in the
formation stage.

T. R. Winston & Company, LLC
----------------------------

     Until July 2003, the Company owned T. R. Winston & Company, Inc. ("Winston,
Inc."), a licensed securities broker-dealer.  In July 2003, the Company sold 60%
of  Winston,  Inc.  to  two  executives  of  Winston,  Inc.  (the  "Agreement").
Immediately prior to the sale,  Winston,  Inc. paid cash to the Company reducing
Winston,   Inc's.  equity  to  $500,000  and  subsequently   Winston,  Inc.  was
reorganized to form T. R. Winston & Company,  LLC ("Winston").  The Company then
recorded its 40% investment in Winston at $200,000.  Subsequent to completion of
the transaction,  the Company had no management  responsibility  for Winston but
was entitled to a 40% distributive share of Winston's profits, as defined in the
Agreement,  and was  accounting  for its  investment  in  Winston  by the equity
method. In 2004 and 2003,  $138,000 and $20,000,  respectively,  was recorded as

                                      II-3

<PAGE>

income related to the Company's equity interest in Winston.  In August 2004, the
Company sold its remaining interest in Winston for $1 million. Net cash proceeds
of $520,000 were received after adjustments of $390,000 relating to a put option
liability established in connection with the Agreement, and $90,000 for payments
the Company was required to make in connection  with the  Agreement.The  Company
recorded a gain of approximately $71,000 in connection with the sale.

     In August 2004, the Company entered into a consulting & advisory  agreement
with Winston, (the "Consulting & Advisory Agreement") in that the Company agreed
to provide financial consulting and advisory services to Winston for a period of
eighteen  months  commencing  August 1,  2004  through  January  31,  2006.  The
Consulting & Advisory  Agreement is cancelable  only by the Company.  During the
term of the Consulting & Advisory  Agreement,  the Company will receive  certain
fees, but in no event will the fees for the term be less than $200,000.  Fees of
$70,000  were  earned  in 2004 in  connection  with the  Consulting  &  Advisory
Agreement.

Results of Operations
---------------------

     The  Company  had net  income in 2004 of  $923,000,  ($.32  basic and fully
diluted  income per share)  compared to a net income of $357,000 ($.11 basic and
fully diluted  income per share) in 2003.  Per share earnings have been adjusted
to reflect a 100% stock  dividend in April 2004. Due to changes in the Company's
business  over  the  past  two  years,  results  for  2004  and  2003 may not be
comparable nor are they indicative of any future results.

     Net investing  gains were $310,000 in 2004, a decrease of $353,000 from net
investing gains in 2003 of $663,000.  This decrease is principally the result of
an increase in realized  gains of $143,000  offset by a decrease in the carrying
value of selected investments in the Company's investment portfolio of $496,000.

     There was no brokerage income or expenses  recorded in 2004 due to the sale
of 60% of Winston  effective July 2003. The Company  accounted for its remaining
40%  investment  in  Winston by the equity  method  until it sold its  remaining
interest in August 2004. Total brokerage income,  which consisted of commissions
and principal  trading  transactions at Winston was  approximately $2 million in
2003.  Brokerage  expenses  (including  all fixed and  variable  expenses)  were
$1,164,000 in 2003.  Equity in its investment in Winston of $20,000 was recorded
in 2003 and  $138,000  was  recorded  in 2004  prior to the  sale.  The  Company
recorded a gain of $71,000 in connection with the sale of its remaining interest
in Winston.

     A management fee of $4,000 per month is paid to the Company by an affiliate
for  management  services  performed by the Company on behalf of the  affiliate.
These services include corporate governance, financial management and accounting

                                      II-4

services. Prior to the consolidation of Cortech in the financial statements, the
Company recorded an additional $15,000 per month in management fee income.

     In 2004,  the Company  recorded  equity in the losses of Cortech of $83,000
for the period prior to the acquisition of Cortech and its  consolidation in the
financial statements of the Company.

     In August 2004, the Company sold its  headquarters  building in Bedminster,
New Jersey for $1,950,000 recording a pretax gain of approximately $845,000. The
Company is currently leasing its required office space in the same location.

     Interest,  dividends  and other  income was  $485,000  in 2004  compared to
$285,000 in 2003.  The increase in 2004 was due primarily to an increase in fees
for services  (primarily  general and  administrative  services) received from a
non-affiliated company of $177,000, combined with an increase in interest earned
of approximately  $43,000 and consulting fees of $70,000 earned in 2004. In 2003
other  income  of  $100,000  was  recorded  by T. R.  Winston.  Interest  income
increased  by $87,000  due to the  inclusion  of  Cortech  in the  consolidation
financial  statements  offset by a decrease of $44,000 due primarily to the sale
of Winston in 2003.

     General and  administrative  expenses  were $936,000 in 2004, a decrease of
$641,000  from  the  $1,577,000  recorded  in  2003.  These  decreases  are  due
principally  to the  reduction  of  expenses  due to the sale of Winston in July
2003.

     Interest expense  decreased from $55,000 in 2003 to $37,000 in 2004, due to
the sale of Winston and the sale of the building in Bedminster, New Jersey.

     The Company recorded minority interest in Cortech's losses of approximately
$48,000 in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     At  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  had  consolidated   cash  and  cash
equivalents of approximately $14.2 million.  Cash equivalents  consisted of U.S.
Treasury  Bills with original  maturities  of three months or less,  with yields
ranging  between  2.014% and  2.239%.  The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  also
maintain  interest  bearing  balances  in  brokerage  accounts.  The Company had
securities owned valued at approximately  $1.2 million at December 31, 2004. See
Notes 1 and 3 of Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  additional
information on the valuation of securities  owned. The Company believes that its
liquidity  is  adequate  for  future  operations  for the  next  twelve  months,
including  the costs of acquiring  operating  businesses,  or making  additional
investments.

     Net cash of  approximately  $1.3  million was used in  operations  in 2004,
compared to net cash  provided by operations  of  approximately  $3.8 million in
2003.  The  change in  securities  owned of $4.125  million  in 2003  compare to
($676,000)  in  2004,  and the gain on sale of  property  on  $845,000  were the
primary  reasons for the  decrease in the cash  provided by  operations  in 2004
compared to 2003.  The change in  securities  owned was due  principally  to the
reclassification  of the  Company's  investment  in  Cortech  to a  consolidated
subsidiary. Unrealized gains and losses are included in consolidated operations,
but do not utilize or generate cash flows.

     Net cash provided by investing  activities was approximately  $13.3 million
in 2004  compared  to net cash used of $240,000  in 2003.  In 2004,  net cash of
approximately  $11 million was acquired through the consolidation of Cortech and
approximately  $2.3  million  was  received in  connection  with the sale of the
Company's  building  in  Bedminster,  New Jersey  and the sale of the  Company's
investment in T. R. Winston.

     Net cash used in financing  activities  was  approximately  $1.6 million in
2004 compared to $125,000 in 2003. During 2004, the Company  repurchased 406,177
shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of approximately  $906,000.  In
2003,  the  Company   repurchased   31,316  shares  for  an  aggregate  cost  of
approximately  $113,000. All shares acquired were purchased at market prices and
have been canceled and returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares.
Payments on debt of $658,000 in 2004 and $12,000 in 2003  consisted  of payments
of the mortgage  loan  collateralized  by the Company's  headquarters  building,
which was sold in the third  quarter of 2004,  at which time the  mortgage  loan
balance was paid.

     In 2003,  $390,000 was recorded as a liability in  connection  with the 60%
sale of Winston.  Due to the  characteristics of this accrual,  the $390,000 was
recorded as a deduction in stockholders'  equity in the  accompanying  financial
statements.  (For  more  information  see Note 1 of  Notes  to the  Consolidated
Financial  Statements).  In August 2004, this liability was reversed as a result
of the sale of the Company's remaining interest in Winston.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
------------------------------

     The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Commitments
-----------------------

     The Company has no contractual commitments.

Critical Accounting Estimates
-----------------------------

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  accounting
principles   generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  requires

                                      II-6

<PAGE>

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.  The Company has  identified  the valuation of  securities  owned and
non-readily  marketable  securities  as  critical  accounting  estimates.  These
estimates, which are particularly susceptible to change, include the assumptions
used in determining the fair value of these securities.

     In January 2003, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation  No. 46,  "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46),
which  addresses  consolidation  by business  enterprises  of variable  interest
entities  ("VIEs").  FIN 46 is  applicable  immediately  for VIEs created  after
January 31, 2003 and are effective for reporting  periods  ending after December
15, 2003, for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB
published a revision to FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") to clarify some of the  provisions of
the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain
entities. Under the guidance of FIN 46R, public companies that have interests in
VIE's that are commonly  referred to as special purpose entities are required to
apply the  provisions of FIN 46R for periods  ending after  December 15, 2003. A
public company that does not have any interests in special purpose  entities but
does have a variable  interest in a VIE created  before  February 1, 2003,  must
apply  the  provisions  of FIN 46R by the end of the  first  interim  or  annual
reporting period ending after March 14, 2004. The adoption of FIN No. 46 did not
have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     In  December  2004,  the FASB  issues  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") 123(R),  "Share-Based  Payment," which is a revision of SFAS
123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation."  SFAS 123(R) requires that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment  transactions be recognized in
financial  statements.  The compensation cost will be measured based on the fair
value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 23 (R) is effective as
of the beginning of the first interim or annual period  beginning after June 15,
2005.  The  Company  will adopt SFAS  123(R) on July 1, 2005 using the  modified
prospective  method.  The Company  does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 123
(R) will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk
-----------

     Market risk  represents  the  potential  loss as a result of  absolute  and
relative  price  movements in financial  instruments  due to changes in interest
rates,  foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and other factors.  The Company's
exposure to market risk is directly related to price movements of its securities
holdings.


                                      II-7

<PAGE>

     The fair value of securities  owned at December 31, 2004 was  approximately
$1.2  million.  The potential  change in fair value,  using a  hypothetical  10%
decline in prices,  is estimated to be a $120,000  loss as of December 31, 2004.
For working  capital  purposes,  the Company  invests in U.S.  Treasury Bills or
maintains  interest  bearing  balances  in  its  brokerage  accounts  which  are
classified as cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements.

Investment Company Act of 1940
------------------------------

     As a result of the Company's  sale of 100% of its holdings of Winston,  the
Company  believes  that a large  portion of its  remaining  assets may have been
classified as "investment  securities" as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940,  as amended  (the "1940 Act").  If the Company,  therefore,
were deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act, it would be required
to register as an investment company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and would become subject to the regulatory  duties and  restrictions of the 1940
Act, including, but not limited to, restrictions on:

         o  operating methods;
         o  management structure;
         o  capital structure and debt issuance;
         o  issuance of dividends; and
         o  transactions with affiliates

     These  restrictions  would require the Company to significantly  change the
manner in which it conducts its operations  and require it to incur  significant
expenses  for which it has not  provided.  This would  have a  material  adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations.

     Furthermore,  if the Company were deemed to be an  unregistered  investment
company,  it would be  subject to  substantial  restrictions  on its  ability to
conduct its present  business  activities  unless it became  registered with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  These  restrictions  would  also  have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

     The Company intends to engage primarily in a business other than that of an
investment  company and,  unless an exception  from the definition of investment
company under the 1940 Act is available to it, the Company intends on taking all
action  necessary to prevent it from being deemed an investment  company  within
the time  permitted by the 1940 Act. This may include  reducing the value of the
"investment  securities"  that the Company  holds as a  percentage  of its total
assets and any other  actions  that the Company  deems to be  appropriate.  This
reduction  could  be  achieved  in a  number  of  ways,  including  through  the
disposition of "investment  securities"  and the  acquisition of  non-investment
security assets.  If the Company is required to sell "investment  securities" it

                                      II-8

<PAGE>

may be forced to sell them sooner than it otherwise would and these dispositions
may be made  under  unfavorable  market  conditions  resulting  in losses to the
Company.

     Currently, the Company believes that its 50.06% ownership in Cortech is its
primary  business,  and that it will not be deemed to be an  investment  company
under the 1940 Act.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Kent Financial Services, Inc.

We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet of Kent Financial
Services,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2004,  and the related
consolidated statements of income,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years ended  December  31, 2004 and 2003.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audits to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of Kent  Financial
Services,  Inc. and  Subsidiaries  as of December  31, 2004,  and the results of
their  operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                     Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     ------------------------------------------

Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------

     The  consolidated   financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Kent
Financial  Services,  Inc.  (the  "Company"  or  "Kent")  and  its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries,  Kent Advisors,  Inc.,  Kent  Educational  Services,  Inc.,  Texas
American Petrochemicals,  Inc. ("TAPI") and Asset Value Management, Inc. and its
respective  subsidiaries,  Asset  Value  Holdings,  Inc.,  and Asset  Value Fund
Limited  Partnership  ("AVF") and AVF's 50.06% owned subsidiary,  Cortech,  Inc.
TAPI and Kent Advisors,  Inc. are inactive.  All material  intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the  prior  year's  financial
statements to conform to the current year's presentation.

Cash Equivalents
----------------

     The Company considers as cash equivalents all short-term  investments which
are highly  liquid and readily  exchangeable  for cash at amounts equal to their
stated value. Cash equivalents  consist of U. S. Treasury Bills with an original
maturity of 90 days that matured through March 2005 and were  substantially  all
reinvested  for an  additional  90 days.  The Company  also  maintains  interest
bearing balances in its brokerage accounts. All cash and cash equivalents are on
deposit  either  with a major  money  center  bank or with a  securities  broker
dealer.

Property and Equipment
----------------------

     The Company  records all property and  equipment at cost.  Depreciation  is
computed using the  straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of the
individual assets generally two years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------

     Substantially  all  assets and  liabilities  are stated at fair value or at
amounts which approximate fair value.

                     Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

Interest Income and Expenses
----------------------------

     The  Company  receives  interest  income  on  its  credit  balances  at its
securities  broker dealer and is charged  interest expense on its debit balances
at the securities broker dealer, if applicable.

     Winston  received  interest  income on its credit  balances at the clearing
broker and was charged  interest  expense on its debit  balances at the clearing
broker.  Prior to the sale of  Winston  such  interest  income and  expense  was
recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes (Benefit)
----------------------

     The Company  utilizes  the asset and  liability  method of  accounting  for
income taxes.  Under the asset and liability  method,  deferred income taxes are
recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted
statutory  tax rates  applicable  to future  years to  differences  between  the
financial  statement  carrying  amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and
liabilities.  The Company and its wholly owned  subsidiaries file a consolidated
federal income tax return.

Earnings Per Common Share
-------------------------

     Earnings  per common  share is  calculated  based on the  weighted  average
number of shares  outstanding.  Diluted  earnings per share includes the assumed
conversion of shares issuable upon exercise of options, where appropriate.

Estimates
---------

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  accounting
principles that are generally  accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.  Estimates  that  are  particularly  susceptible  to  change  include
assumptions  used  in  determining  the  fair  value  of  securities  owned  and
non-readily marketable securities.

                     Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

Sale of T. R. Winston
---------------------

     Until July 31, 2003,  the Company's  business was comprised  principally of
the  operation  of T.  R.  Winston  &  Company,  Inc.  ("Winston"),  a  licensed
securities broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective July 31, 2003,
the Company sold 60% of Winston to two executives of Winston (the  "Agreement").
Immediately  prior  to the  sale,  Winston  paid  cash to the  Company  reducing
Winston's  equity to $500,000.  The Company then recorded its 40%  investment in
Winston at $200,000.  Subsequent to the Agreement, the Company has no management
responsibility  for Winston  but was  entitled  to a 40%  distributive  share of
Winston's  profits as  defined  by the  Agreement,  and was  accounting  for its
investment in Winston by the equity method. In August 2004, the Company sold its
remaining interest in Winston for $1 million. Net cash proceeds of $520,000 were
received  after  adjustments  of  $390,000  relating  to a put option  liability
established  in  connection  with the  Agreement,  and $90,000 for  payments the
Company  was  required to make in  connection  with the  Agreement.  The Company
recorded a gain of approximately $71,000 in connection with the sale.


     In August 2004, the Company entered into a consulting & advisory  agreement
with Winston, (the "Consulting & Advisory Agreement") in that the Company agreed
to provide financial consulting and advisory services to Winston for a period of
eighteen  months  commencing  August 1,  2004  through  January  31,  2006.  The
Consulting & Advisory  Agreement is cancelable  only by the Company.  During the
term of the Consulting & Advisory  Agreement,  the Company will receive  certain
fees, but in no event will the fees for the term be less than $200,000.  Fees of
$70,000  were  earned  in 2004 in  connection  with the  Consulting  &  Advisory
Agreement.

Recent Accounting Standards
---------------------------

     In January 2003, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation  No. 46,  "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46),
which  addresses  consolidation  by business  enterprises  of variable  interest
entities  ("VIEs").  FIN 46 is  applicable  immediately  for VIEs created  after
January 31, 2003 and are effective for reporting  periods  ending after December
15, 2003, for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. In December 2003, the FASB
published a revision to FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") to clarify some of the  provisions of
the interpretation and to defer the effective date of implementation for certain
entities. Under the guidance of FIN 46R, public companies that have interests in

                     Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003

VIE's that are commonly  referred to as special purpose entities are required to
apply the  provisions of FIN 46R for periods  ending after  December 15, 2003. A
public company that does not have any interests in special purpose  entities but
does have a variable  interest in a VIE created  before  February 1, 2003,  must
apply  the  provisions  of FIN 46R by the end of the  first  interim  or  annual
reporting  period  ending after March 14,  2004.  The adoption of FIN 46 did not
have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

     In  December  2004,  the FASB  issues  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") 123(R),  "Share-Based  Payment," which is a revision of SFAS
123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation."  SFAS 123(R) requires that the
compensation cost relating to share-based payment  transactions be recognized in
financial  statements.  The compensation cost will be measured based on the fair
value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 23 (R) is effective as
of the beginning of the first interim or annual period  beginning after June 15,
2005.  The  Company  will adopt SFAS  123(R) on July 1, 2005 using the  modified
prospective  method.  The Company  does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 123
(R) will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2.   BUSINESS
     --------

     The Company's  business is comprised  principally of the management of AVF.
AVF is an investment partnership whose primary purpose is to make investments in
a limited number of companies  whose  securities  are considered  undervalued by
AVF's management.

3.   SECURITIES OWNED

4.   ACQUISITION OF CORTECH, INC., BY AVF
     ------------------------------------

     In 2004,  AVF acquired an  additional  139,328  shares of Cortech's  common
stock for approximately $427,000,  increasing its ownership of Cortech to 50.06%
on June 30, 2004. Prior to that date, AVF had been accounting for its investment
in Cortech  based upon its fair value as  determined  by the  management of AVF.
(See  Note  1 of  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  more
information on fair value).  This fair value ordinarily was AVF's  proportionate
ownership of Cortech's equity.  Since AVF's ownership  exceeded 50%, Cortech has
been  consolidated in the accompanying  financial  statements.  (See Note 16 for
proforma financial information.)

Cortech Stock Option Plans
--------------------------

     Cortech has issued certain common stock options to its employees, directors
and consultants.  At December 31, 2004, Cortech had 382,735 common stock options
outstanding  at exercise  prices ranging from $3.50 to $13.59 per share expiring
from 2005 through 2010. Any exercises of these common stock options could have a
dilutive effect on the percentage of Cortech owned by the Company.

     In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation".  This  standard  encouraged,  but did not  require,  companies to
recognize  compensation  expense  for grants of stock,  stock  options and other
equity instruments based on a fair-value method of accounting.

     Companies that do not adopt the new expense  recognition  rules of SFAS No.
123 will continue to apply the existing rules contained in Accounting Principles
Board  ("APB")  Opinion  No.  25,  but  will be  required  to  provide  proforma
disclosures  of  the  compensation   expense  determined  under  the  fair-value
provisions of SFAS No. 123, if material.  APB No. 25 requires no  recognition of
compensation  expense  for  most  of  the  stock-based   employee   compensation
arrangements  provided by the Cortech,  namely broad-based employee stock option
grants and stock  purchase plans where the exercise price is equal to the market
price at the date of grant.

     Cortech  applies APB No. 25 and related  Interpretations  in accounting for
its plans.  Had  compensation  cost for the Cortech's  stock-based  compensation
plans  been  determined  based on the fair  value at the grant  dates for awards
under those plans  consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net

5.   T. R. WINSTON & COMPANY, LLC.
     -----------------------------

     Until July 31,  2003,  the  Company  owned T. R.  Winston &  Company,  Inc.
("Winston,  Inc."),  a  licensed  securities  broker-dealer  and a wholly  owned
subsidiary.  Effective July 31, 2003,  the Company sold 60% of Winston,  Inc. to
two  executives of Winston,  Inc. (the  "Agreement").  Immediately  prior to the
sale, Winston, Inc. paid cash to the Company reducing Winston,  Inc's. equity to
$500,000 and subsequently  Winston, Inc. was reorganized to form T. R. Winston &
Company,  LLC  ("Winston").  The Company  then  recorded its 40%  investment  in
Winston at  $200,000.  Subsequent  to the sale,  the Company  had no  management
responsibility  for Winston  but was  entitled  to a 40%  distributive  share of
Winston's profits as defined in the Agreement,  and accounted for its investment
in  Winston  by the  equity  method.  In 2004 and  2003,  of  $138,000,  $20,000
respectively  was recorded as income related to the Company's equity interest in
Winston.  In August 2004, the Company sold its remaining interest in Winston for
$1 million.  Net cash proceeds of $520,000 were received  after  adjustments  of
$390,000  relating to a put option liability  established in connection with the
Agreement,  and  $90,000  for  payments  the  Company  was  required  to make in
connection  with the  Agreement.  The  Company  recorded  a gain of  $71,000  in
connection with the sale.

     In August 2004, the Company entered into a consulting & advisory  agreement
with Winston, (the "Consulting & Advisory Agreement") in that the Company agreed
to provide financial consulting and advisory services to Winston for a period of
eighteen  months  commencing  August 1,  2004  through  January  31,  2006.  The
Consulting & Advisory  Agreement is cancelable  only by the Company.  During the

6.   KENT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, INC.
     -------------------------------

     In August  2004,  the Company  formed a new  subsidiary,  Kent  Educational

$300,000, a 60% controlling interest in The Academy for Teaching and Leadership,
Inc.,  ("The  Academy") a new company  formed to offer  educators  high  quality

of certain events,  including  significant  changes in ownership of a company of
greater  than  50%  within  a  three-year  period  which  results  in an  annual
limitation  on the  Company's  ability  to  utilize  its  NOLs  and  tax  credit
carryforwards from tax periods prior to the ownership change.

10.  COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
     -------------------------

     In 2002, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the "Agreement")
with the Company's  Chairman for a three-year term  commencing  December 1, 2002
(the "Effective  Date") at an annual salary of $240,000 ("Base  Salary"),  which
may be increased but not decreased at the  discretion of the Board of Directors.
The term is to be automatically  extended one day for each day elapsed after the
Effective  Date. The Chairman may terminate his  employment  under the Agreement
under  certain  conditions  specified  in the  Agreement  and  the  Company  may
terminate the Chairman's  employment under the Agreement for cause. In the event
of the Chairman's death during the term of the Agreement,  his beneficiary shall
be paid a death  benefit  equal to his Base  Salary  per  year for  three  years
payable in equal monthly installments.

     Should  the  Chairman  become  "disabled"  (as such term is  defined in the
Agreement)  during  the  term of the  Agreement  he  shall  be  paid  an  annual
disability  payment equal to 80% of his Base Salary in effect at the time of the
disability.  Such payments shall continue until the Chairman reaches age 75. The
Company is accruing  the present  value of the  contingent  payments  under this
agreement.  Included is accrued  expenses at December 31, 2004 is  approximately
$554,000 related to this liability.

11.  PREVIOUSLY DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
     ----------------------------------

     In January, 1988, an inactive subsidiary of the Company, TAPI, was notified
by  environmental  regulators  in  Texas  ("Texas  Regulators")  that  it  was a
potentially  responsible party ("PRP") in connection with a hazardous waste site
in the state.  TAPI  advised  the Texas  Regulators  that TAPI had no assets and
could not conduct a remedial investigation of the site. Based on information and
belief,  the Company  understands a remedial  action has been  authorized by the
Texas  Regulations in order to clean up any  contaminants.  The Company does not
believe it has any liability in connection with this environmental matter.

     In April 1989, TAPI was formally  notified that the Michigan  Department of
Natural  Resources  deemed TAPI a responsible  party in connection  with alleged
environmental  problems at a site owned by TAPI. In the fourth  quarter of 1994,
TAPI entered  into a consent  judgment  with the State of Michigan.  The consent
judgment  provides for the payment by TAPI of approximately  $450,000 to satisfy
TAPI's  alleged  liability for past and future costs incurred and to be incurred
by the State of Michigan in  undertaking  remedial  environmental  activities at
TAPI's former refinery site in Michigan. Under the terms of the settlement, TAPI
paid $90,000 in the fourth  quarter of 1994 and $45,000 per year in 1995 through
2002. The Company  joined the consent  judgment for the sole purpose of assuring
payments by TAPI.  Neither  TAPI nor the Company  admitted  any  liability.  The
liability  had  been  accrued  for  in  prior  years  as  part  of  discontinued
operations.

12.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
     ---------------------------------

     From March  1990  until the sale of the  building  in August  2004  certain
non-subsidiary  affiliates  had  rented  office  space  from  the  Company.  The
Company's  aggregate  rental income from these  arrangements  was  approximately
$66,000 and $70,000 during 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     The Company  reimburses  affiliates  for the direct  cost of certain  group
medical insurance,  and office supplies.  Such reimbursements were approximately
$54,000 and $73,000 during 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     An affiliate of the Company pays an administrative  fee of $4,000 per month
for  management  services  performed by the Company on behalf of the  affiliate.
These services include corporate governance, financial management and accounting
services. Prior to the consolidation of Cortech in the Financial Statements, the
Company recorded an additional $15,000 per month in management fee income.

13.  SEGMENT REPORTING
     -----------------

     The  Company  has  determined  that it does not have  reportable  operating
segments.  The Company conducts  investment  activities through its wholly owned
subsidiary  AVF, as described in Note 2 of Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements.  AVF does not have individual segment managers or discrete financial
data used to allocate resources.

matching contributions in 2004 or 2003.

15.  INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
     ------------------------------

     As a result of the Company's  sale of 100% of its holdings of Winston,  the
Company  believes  that a large  portion of its  remaining  assets may have been
classified as "investment  securities" as such term is defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940,  as amended  (the "1940 Act").  If the Company,  therefore,
were deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act, it would be required
to register as an investment company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and would become subject to the regulatory  duties and  restrictions of the 1940
Act, including, but not limited to, restrictions on:

         o  operating methods;
         o  management structure;
         o  capital structure and debt issuance;
         o  issuance of dividends; and
         o  transactions with affiliates

     These  restrictions  would require the Company to significantly  change the
manner in which it conducts its operations  and require it to incur  significant
expenses  for which it has not  provided.  This would  have a  material  adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations.

     Furthermore,  if the Company were deemed to be an  unregistered  investment
company,  it would be  subject to  substantial  restrictions  on its  ability to
conduct its present  business  activities  unless it became  registered with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  These  restrictions  would  also  have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

     The Company intends to engage primarily in a business other than that of an
investment  company and,  unless an exception  from the definition of investment
company under the 1940 Act is available to it, the Company intends on taking all
action  necessary to prevent it from being deemed an investment  company  within
the time  permitted by the 1940 Act. This may include  reducing the value of the
"investment  securities"  that the Company  holds as a  percentage  of its total
assets and any other  actions  that the Company  deems to be  appropriate.  This
reduction  could  be  achieved  in a  number  of  ways,  including  through  the
disposition of "investment  securities"  and the  acquisition of  non-investment
security assets.  If the Company is required to sell "investment  securities" it
may be forced to sell them sooner than it otherwise would and these dispositions

     Currently, the Company believes that its 50.06% ownership in Cortech is its
primary  business,  and that it will not be deemed to be an  investment  company
under the 1940 Act.

            ---------------------

     None.

Item 8A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
            -----------------------


     As of the end of the period  covered by this  report,  the Company  carried
out,  under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  the  Company's
management,  including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial  Officer,
an evaluation of the  effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure  controls and  procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that  evaluation,  the
Chief Executive  Officer and Chief Financial  Officer  concluded that the design
and operation of these disclosure  controls and procedures are effective.  There
was no change in the Company's  internal  control over  financial  reporting (as
defined in Rule  13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)  under the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2004 that has  materially  affected,
or is reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the Company's  internal control
over financial reporting.

Compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act
-------------------------------------------------

     In order to achieve  compliance with Section 404 of the  Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 (the "Act") by December  31,  2006,  the  Company  expects to begin,  in
fiscal  2005,  the system and process  documentation  and  evaluation  needed to
comply with  Section  404. The Company  believes  this process for  documenting,
evaluating  and  monitoring  its internal  control over  financial  reporting is
consistent with the objectives of Section 404 of the Act.

Remuneration of Directors
-------------------------

     Directors  who are not  employees  of the Company  receive a monthly fee of
$1,000 plus $200 for each day of  attendance  at board and  committee  meetings.
During  2004,  the  Company  paid  directors'  fees in the  aggregate  amount of
approximately $28,000.

Compensation Arrangements
-------------------------

     On December  1, 2002,  ("Effective  Date") the Company and Paul O.  Koether
entered into an employment agreement ("Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. Koether
serves as the  Company's  Chairman for an initial  three-year  term at an annual
salary of $240,000 ("Base Salary"),  which may be increased but not decreased at
the  discretion  of the  Board of  Directors.  The  term is to be  automatically
extended one day for each day elapsed after the Effective  Date. (See Note 11 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

     Mr.  Koether may terminate his  employment  under the Agreement at any time
for "good reason" (defined below) within 36 months after the date of a Change in
Control (defined below) of the Company.  Upon his termination,  he shall be paid
the  greater of the (i) Base  Salary  payable  under the  Agreement  through the
expiration  date of the  Agreement  or (ii) an amount  equal to three  times the
average annual Base Salary paid to him during the preceding five years.

     Change in  Control  is deemed to have  occurred  if (i) any  individual  or
entity,  other than  individuals or entities  beneficially  owning,  directly or
indirectly,  common  stock  of  the  Company  representing  30% or  more  of the
Company's stock outstanding as of December 1, 2003, is or becomes the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the Company's outstanding stock
or (ii)  individuals  constituting  the Board of  Directors  on December 1, 2002
("Incumbent  Board"),  including  any person  subsequently  elected to the Board
whose  election or nomination  for election was approved by a vote of at least a
majority of the Directors comprising the Incumbent Board, cease to constitute at
least a majority of the Board.  "Good reason" means a determination  made solely
by Mr. Koether, in good faith, that as a result of a Change in Control he may be
adversely  affected  (i) in carrying out his duties and powers in the fashion he
previously enjoyed or (ii) in his future prospects with the Company.

     Mr.  Koether may also  terminate  his  employment  if the Company  fails to
perform its  obligations  under the Agreement  (including any material change in
Mr. Koether's duties,  responsibilities  and powers or the removal of his office
to a location more than five miles from its current  location)  which failure is
not cured within specified time periods.

                                     III-4

<PAGE>

     The Company may terminate Mr. Koether's  employment under the Agreement for
"cause" which is defined as (i) Mr. Koether's continued failure to substantially
perform his duties  under the  Agreement  (other than by reason of his mental or
physical  incapacity  or the removal of his office to a location  more than five
miles  from its  current  location)  which is not cured  within  specified  time
periods,  or (ii) Mr.  Koether's  conviction  of any  criminal act or fraud with
respect to the Company.  The Company may not terminate Mr. Koether's  employment
except by a vote of not less than 80 percent of the entire Board of Directors at
a meeting at which Mr. Koether is given the opportunity to be heard.

     In the event of Mr.  Koether's death during the term of the Agreement,  his
beneficiary  shall be paid a death  benefit  equal to three  years Base  Salary,
payable in 36 equal monthly  installments.  Should Mr. Koether become "disabled"
(as such term is defined in the Agreement)  during the term of the Agreement and
either  long-term  disability  insurance  is not provided by the Company or such
policy does not provide an annual  benefit to age 75 equal to 80% or more of Mr.
Koether's Base Salary,  he shall be paid an annual  disability  payment equal to
80% of his Base Salary in effect at the time of the  disability.  Such  payments
shall continue until Mr. Koether attains the age of 75.

I,   Paul O. Koether, certify that:

1.   I have  reviewed  this  annual  report  on Form  10-KSB  of Kent  Financial
     Services, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     the small  business  issuer as of, and for,  the periods  presented in this
     report;

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying  officer and I are responsible
     for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
     defined  in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for the small
     business issuer and have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business  issuer,  including its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
          known to us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the
          period in which this report is being prepared;

          evaluation; and

     c)   disclosed  in this  report any change in the small  business  issuer's
          internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
          small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
          issuer's  fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual report) that
          has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
          the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting;
          and


5.   The small business issuer's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,
     based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control  over  financial
     reporting,  to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee
     of the small business  issuer's  board of directors (or persons  performing
     the equivalent functions):

     a)   all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the small  business  issuer's
          ability   to  record,   process,   summarize   and  report   financial
          information; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant  role in the small business  issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.

                      CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 302
                        OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I,   Sue Ann Merrill, certify that:

1.   I have  reviewed  this  annual  report  on Form  10-KSB  of Kent  Financial
     Services, Inc.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     the small  business  issuer as of, and for,  the periods  presented in this
     report;

4.   The small business issuer's other certifying  officer and I are responsible
     for  establishing  and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
     defined  in  Exchange  Act Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for the small
     business issuer and have:

     a)   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the small
          business  issuer,  including its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made
          known to us by others within those entities,  particularly  during the
          period in which this report is being prepared;

     b)   evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer's  disclosure
          controls and procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as
          of the  end of the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
          evaluation; and

     c)   disclosed  in this  report any change in the small  business  issuer's
          internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during the
          small business issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the small business
          issuer's  fourth fiscal  quarter in the case of an annual report) that
          has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
          the small business issuer's internal control over financial reporting;
          and

5.   The small business issuer's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,
     based on our most recent  evaluation  of internal  control  over  financial
     reporting,  to the small business issuer's auditors and the audit committee
     of the small business  issuer's  board of directors (or persons  performing
     the equivalent functions):

     a)   all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the small  business  issuer's
          ability   to  record,   process,   summarize   and  report   financial
          information; and

     b)   any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant  role in the small business  issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting.
