Item 6. Resignation of Registrant's Director
Effective August 3, 1999, the Registrant accepted the resignation of Avi Suriel,
a member of the Registrant's Board of Directors. In his letter of resignation, a
copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report, Mr. Suriel indicated that
his reason for resigning was the Registrant's alleged failure to set a date for
its annual shareholder meeting by August 3, 1999. On August 3, 1999, the
Registrant publicly announced that it has set a record date of August 19, 1999
in preparation for the annual shareholder meeting currently scheduled for
October 19, 1999, subject to change dependent upon the potential review of the
Registrant's preliminary proxy materials by the SEC.
Exhibit:
17.1 Copy of letter from Avi Suriel tendering his resignation from the
Registrant's Board of Directors effective August 3, 1999.

Dear Mr. Stealey:
I, Avi Suriel, a Director representing Vertical Financial Holdings on the
Company's Board, hereby submit my resignation as a member of the Board effective
immediately, but reserve the right to reconsider over the next four business
days if a date for a Shareholders Meeting is agreed, and such meeting date is
announced by August 3, 1999.
For the record, I and Vertical have been asking for several weeks now for
such meeting to be called to no avail.
Very truly yours,
