	SUMMIT SECURITIES, INC.

	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited 
condensed consolidated financial statements contain all 
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as 
of June 30, 1997, the results of operations for the three and 
nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and changes in cash 
flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The 
results of operations for the nine month period ended June 30, 
1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be 
expected for the full year. As provided for in regulations 
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, all 
financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, the 
condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996 has 
been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet.  These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements including notes thereto 
included in the Company's fiscal 1996 Form 10-K.

2.	 The principal amount of receivables as to which payments were in 
arrears more than three months was $4,200,000 at June 30, 1997 
and $3,375,000 at September 30, 1996.

3.	 Summit Securities, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of National 
Summit Corp. The Company files consolidated federal income tax 
returns with its parent. The Company is allocated a current and 
deferred tax provision from National Summit Corp. as if the 
Company filed a separate tax return.  

4.	Summit Securities, Inc. had no outstanding material legal 
proceedings other than normal proceedings associated with 
receivable foreclosures.

5.	Certain amounts in the prior years' condensed consolidated 
financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 
current years' presentation.  These reclassifications had no 
effect on net income or retained earnings as previously 
presented.

6.	 In November 1996, Summit and Old Standard Life Insurance Company 
(OSL) participated as two of the four co-sellers in a receivable 
securitization sponsored by Metropolitan Asset Funding, Inc., an 
affiliated company.  Approximately $126.7 million of 
receivables, with $11.2 million from Summit and OSL, were sold 
in the securitization with proceeds, after costs, of 
approximately $121.1 million, with $10.8 million allocated to 
Summit and OSL.  With an amortized carrying value of 
approximately $10.5 million in the receivables sold in the 
securitization, Summit and OSL recorded approximately $.3 
million in pre-tax gains from their portion of the sale.  
Metropolitan Asset Funding, Inc. sold in a public offering 
approximately $113.4 million in varying classes of mortgage 
pass-through certificates.  In addition to the certificates sold 
in the public offering, approximately $13.3 million in 
subordinate class certificates and residual class certificates 
were returned to the various co-sellers of the collateral 
included in the securitization.  Summit and OSL received 
approximately $9.6 million, after costs, from the securitization 
and also received approximately $1.2 million in subordinate 
class and residual class certificates.

7.	 In 1995, the Company acquired OSL from Metropolitan Mortgage & 
Securities Co., Inc. (Metropolitan), an affiliated company 
through common control.  In connection with the purchase, the 
Company agreed to pay a contingent purchase price consideration 
to Metropolitan based upon the earnings of OSL.  During the 
quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company paid approximately 
$250,000 of contingent purchase price to Metropolitan.  Due to 
the affiliated nature of these companies, the payment was 
recorded as if it was a dividend to Metropolitan.

8.	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles 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 dates of the financial statements and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 
periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.




9.	 During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company transferred 
the previously described retained subordinate and residual class 
certificates from available-for-sale to trading as required by 
SFAS No. 115. SFAS 115 establishes that trading securities are to 
be measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses 
included in net earnings.  In the quarter ended June 30, 1997, 
$50,000 of unrealized gains on trading securities are included in 
net earnings.

Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

	The discussions may contain some forward-looking statements.  A 
forward-looking statement may contain words such as "will continue to 
be," "will be," "continue to," "expect to," "anticipates that," "to 
be," or "can impact."  Management cautions that forward-looking 
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause 
the Company's actual results to differ materially from those 
projected in forward-looking statements.

Significant Transactions:

	In November 1996, Summit Securities, Inc. (Summit) and Old 
Standard Life Insurance Company (OSL) participated as two of the four 
co-sellers in a receivable securitization sponsored by Metropolitan 
Asset Funding, Inc., an affiliated company.  Approximately $126.7 
million of receivables, with $11.2 million from Summit and OSL, were 
sold in the securitization with proceeds, after costs, of 
approximately $121.1 million, with $10.8 million allocated to Summit 
and OSL.  With an amortized carrying value of approximately $10.5 
million in the receivables sold in the securitization, Summit and OSL 
recorded approximately $.3 million in pre-tax gains from their 
portion of the sale.  Metropolitan Asset Funding, Inc. sold in a 
public offering approximately $113.4 million in varying classes of 
mortgage pass-through certificates.  In addition to the certificates 
sold in the public offering, approximately $13.3 million in support 
class certificates and residual class certificates were returned to 
the various co-sellers of the collateral included in the 
securitization.  Summit and OSL received approximately $9.6 million, 
after costs, from the securitization and also received approximately 
$1.2 million in support class and residual class certificates.   

	On January 31, 1995, the Company consummated an agreement with 
Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc. (Metropolitan), the 
Company's former parent company, whereby it acquired Metropolitan 
Investment Securities, Inc. (MIS) effective January 31, 1995, at a 
purchase price of $288,950, which approximated the book value of MIS 
at date of purchase.  On May 31, 1995, the Company consummated an 
agreement with Metropolitan, whereby it acquired OSL effective May 
31, 1995, at a purchase price of $2,722,000, which approximated the 
current book value of OSL at date of purchase, with future 
contingency payments based on the earnings of OSL.  The purchase 
price plus estimated future contingency payments approximate the 
actuarial appraised valuation of OSL.  During the three months ended 
March 31, 1997, the Company paid approximately $250,000 contingent 
consideration to Metropolitan.  
  
	On December 28, 1995, Summit and ILA Financial Services Inc. 
(ILA) completed a purchase/sale transaction whereby 100% of the 
outstanding common stock of Arizona Life Insurance Company, (AZL), an 
insurance company domiciled in Arizona, was sold to a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Summit.  The cash purchase price was approximately $1.2 
million, which approximated the book value of AZL at the date of 
purchase.  AZL held licenses to engage in insurance sales in seven 
states and the purchase price included approximately $268,000 in 
value assigned to these state licenses.  AZL is in the business of 
acquiring receivables using funds derived from the sale of annuities 
and funds derived from receivable cash flows.  At date of purchase, 
AZL had no outstanding insurance business or other liabilities.  The 
addition of AZL had no affect on total assets or liabilities of 
Summit.

	On February 21, 1997, OSL entered into a reinsurance agreement 
with Western United Life Assurance Company (WULA), a subsidiary of 
Metropolitan, whereby OSL agreed to reinsure 75% of certain single 
premium deferred annuity contracts underwritten by WULA. The amount 
of deferred annuity contracts coinsured by OSL totaled approximately 
$21.3 million at June 30, 1997.
	
Financial Condition and Liquidity:

	As of June 30, 1997, the Company had cash or cash equivalents of 
approximately $7.6 million and liquid investments (trading or 
available-for-sale securities) of $5.6 million compared to $8.2 
million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 million in liquid 
investments at March 31, 1997,  $7.6 million in cash and cash 
equivalents and $1.5 million in liquid investments at December 31, 
1996 and $4.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $269,000 in 
liquid investments at September 30, 1996. Management anticipates that 
cash, cash equivalents and liquidity provided by other investments 
are adequate to meet planned asset additions, required debt 
retirements or other business requirements during the next twelve 
months. At June 30, 1997, total cash and investments, including held 
to maturity securities and investments in affiliates, were $25.2 
million compared to $22.5 million at March 31, 1997, $22.0 million at 
December 31, 1996 and $17.0 million at September 30, 1996. During the 
nine months ended June 30, 1997, funds generated by operating 
activities totaled $1.3 million. Funds provided by financing 
activities were $29.2 million, which included a $4.9 million net cash 
inflow from the sale of preferred stock and investment certificates, 
less repayments, and net cash inflow from annuity products of $28.7 
million which were offset by repayments to banks and others of $4.1 
million and payment of preferred stock dividends of $327,000. Funds 
used in investing activities of $27.4 million, which included $1.5 
million net cash inflow from investment maturities, $18.9 million net 
cash inflow from sales proceeds and collections of receivables and 
$931,000 net cash inflow from real estate sales were used to purchase 
investment securities of $6.3 million, fund new receivable quisitions 
of $41.0 million, and additions to real estate held of $1.6 million.

	The receivable portfolio totaled $113.2 million at June 30, 1997 
compared to $100.7 million at March 31, 1997, $88.3 million at 
December 31, 1996 and $91.8 million at September 30, 1996. During the 
nine months ended June 30, 1997, the change resulted from the 
acquisition of receivables totaling $41.0 million plus an additional 
$345,000 in loans to facilitate the sale of real estate being 
partially offset by sale proceeds and collections of principal of 
$18.9 million and $1.5 million in reductions due to foreclosed 
receivables. Real estate held for sale totaled $2.6 million at June 
30, 1997, compared to $2.5 million at March 31, 1997, $2.4 million at 
December 30, 1996 and $1.2 million at September 30, 1996.

	Insurance annuity reserves totaled $94.5 million at June 30, 
1997 as compared to $76.0 million at March 31, 1997, $64.6 million at 
December 31, 1996 and $62.4 million at September 30, 1996. The 
increase of $32.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 
resulted from credited earnings of $3.4 million, and a $28.7 net cash 
inflow as receipts from the sales and reinsurance of annuity products 
of $35.4 million exceeded the withdrawals of $6.7 million. The 
Company had outstanding investment certificate liabilities of $48.2 
million at June 30, 1997, compared to $47.3 million at March 31, 
1997, $45.1 million at December 31, 1996 and $42.8 million at 
September 30, 1996. For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, net cash 
inflow from issuance less maturities of debentures was $4.6 million 
plus an additional $827,000 decrease in credited interest held. 
During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company decreased the 


short term borrowing portion of its debt payable by $3.8 million 
leaving $162,000 in debt payable as of June 30, 1997.

	Total assets were $151.6 million at June 30, 1997 as compared to 
$132.6 million at March 31, 1997, $118.6 million at December 30, 1996 
and $117.3 million at September 30, 1996. Total liabilities were 
$145.1 million at June 30, 1997 compared to $126.5 million at March 
31, 1997, $112.5 million at December 30, 1996 and $111.9 million at 
September 30, 1996. Total stockholders' equity was $6.6 million or 
4.3% of total assets at June 30, 1997, as compared to $6.1 million or 
4.6% of total assets at March 31, 1997,  $6.1 million or 5.1% of 
total assets at December 31, 1996 and $5.4 million or 4.6% of total 
assets at September 30, 1996.

Results of Operations:

	Net income was $878,000 on revenues of approximately $13.4 
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.  For the similar 
period in the prior year, the Company reported net income of $746,000 
on revenues of approximately $10.3 million. 

	Net income for the comparative nine month periods has increased 
as result of improvements from (1) an increased spread between 
interest sensitive income and interest sensitive expense, due 
principally to the increased investment in the receivable portfolio, 
(2) unrealized holding gains on trading securities that were 
transferred from the available-for-sale portfolio in the current 
quarter, (3) an increase in overall gains from the sale of 
investments, receivables and real estate, and (4) an increase in 
fees, commissions and service revenues; which were only partially 
offset by (1) an increase in other operating expenses and (2) an 
increase in the provision for loss on receivables and other real 
estate assets.

	For the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the net interest spread 
was $2.4 million while in the prior year's period the spread was $1.4 
million.  The increase of $1.0 million is the result of additional 
investments in the receivable portfolio coupled with a slight 
decrease in the weighted average interest rate on the outstanding 
Investment Certificates issued by the Company and the lower cost of 
insurance annuity funds generated by OSL.  


	During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company realized 
gains on the sale of real estate of $11,300 and gains on the sale of 
receivables of $392,100 for a total of  $403,400.  In the prior 
year's period, the Company realized gains from the sales of real 
estate and investments of $7,100 and gains from the sale of 
receivables of $297,300.  The current year's gain on the sale of 
receivables is primarily from Summit's and OSL's participation as co-
sellers in a securitization sponsored by Metropolitan Asset Funding, 
Inc., while the prior year's gain was primarily from Summit's and 
OSL's participation as co-sellers in a securitization sponsored by 
Tryon Mortgage Funding, Inc.

	During the nine months ended June 30, 1997, the Company received 
approximately $190,000 in dividends from its investments in 
affiliated companies compared to approximately $147,000 in the prior 
year's period. In the current year's period, approximately $155,300 
were dividends on its preferred stock investment in Metropolitan, its 
former parent, and $34,700 were dividends on its common stock 
investment in Consumers Group Holding Company, Inc.  In the prior 
year, $147,000 were from dividends on its preferred stock investment 
in Metropolitan Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc.

	Commencing January 31, 1995, with the purchase of MIS and the 
creation of a property development subsidiary, the Company began to 
generate significant fee revenues along with increased operating 
expenses associated with these revenues.  Additionally, commencing 
May 28, 1995, with the purchase of OSL, and December 28, 1995, with 
the purchase of AZL, and February 21, 1997, with a new reinsurance 
agreement with WULA, the Company began to incur significant operating 
expense relative to its insurance operations.  During the nine months 
ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated approximately $2.4 million 
of fee revenues while incurring $3.8 million in salaries, commissions 
and other operating expenses less increases in deferred acquisition 
costs.  In the prior year, the Company realized $2.3 million of fee 
revenues offset by $2.9 million of other costs.  This increased net 
cost, of approximately $800,000, is primarily the result of costs 
associated with its insurance operations, which were only partially 
offset by an increase in fees generated by its property development 
subsidiary.  In the future, FAS 131 will require segment disclosure 
in 10-Q's.

	In conjunction with increased investments in its receivable 
portfolio, along with the valuation of foreclosed real estate, the 
Company provided for loss on receivables and real estate assets of 
$651,000 in the current year's period as compared to $277,000 in the 
prior year's period.

	In comparing the three months ended June 30, 1997 with the prior 
year's similar period, net income was $250,000 on revenues of $4.8 
million as compared to net income of $495,000 on revenues of 
approximately $3.8 million.

	Net income for the comparative three month periods has decreased 
as result of  (1) a net increase in expenses, including salaries, 
commissions and other operating expenses, (2) an increase in the 
provision for loss on receivables and other real estate assets, (3) a 
decrease in fees, commissions and service income, and (4) last years 
participation by Summit and OSL as co-sellers in a securitization 
sponsored by Tryon Mortgage Funding, Inc.; all of which were only 
partially offset by (1) an increased spread between interest 
sensitive income and interest sensitive expense, due principally to 
the increased investment in the receivable portfolio, (2) an increase 
in dividends received from affiliated company investments, and (3) 
unrealized holding gains on trading securities that were transferred 
from available-for-sale in the current quarter.

	For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the net interest 
spread was $938,000 compared to $643,000 in the prior year's similar 
period.  The increase of $295,000 was primarily the result of 
additional investments in the receivable portfolio coupled with a 
slight decrease in the weighted average cost of funds on Investment 
Certificates issued by the Company and the lower cost of insurance 
annuity funds generated by the insurance subsidiaries.

	During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company 
realized losses on the sale of real estate of $9,000 and gains on the 
sale of receivables of $10,000 for a net gain of  $1,000.  In the 
prior year, the Company realized gains on the sale of real estate of 
$700 and had $297,000 in gains on sale of receivables due primarily 
to Summit and OSL's participation as co-sellers in a securitization 
sponsored by Tryon Mortgage Funding, Inc. The Company recognized 
$50,000 in unrealized holding gains on their trading securities in 
the current quarter ended June 30, 1997 with no similar gain in the 
prior year.

	During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company 
received approximately $68,000 in dividends from its investments in 
affiliated companies compared to $52,000 in the prior year's period. 
The current year increase was primarily the result of $16,000 in 
dividends on its stock investment in Consumers Group Holding Company, 
Inc.  

	During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company 
generated approximately $671,000 of fee revenues while incurring $1.2 
million in salaries, commissions and other operating expenses less 
increases in deferred acquisition costs.  In the prior year's period, 
the Company realized $788,000 of fee revenues offset by $1.2 million 
of other costs.  The decrease in fees resulted primarily from a 
decrease in broker/dealer activity of MIS.

	In conjunction with increased investments in its receivable 
portfolio, along with the valuation of foreclosed real estate, the 
Company provided for loss on receivables and real estate assets of 
$179,000 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to a 
$3,000 recapture of loss reserves in the prior year's period. The 
increase in reserves is due primarily to the increased investment in 
the receivable portfolio.     

New Accounting Rules:

	In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings per Share" was issued.  SFAS 128 
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share 
(EPS) and simplifies the existing standards.  This standard replaces 
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  It 
also requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the 
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital 
structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and 
denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and 
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  SFAS 128 is effective 
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 
1997, including interim periods and requires restatement of all 
prior-period EPS data presented.  The Company does not believe that 
the application of this standard will have a material effect on the 
presentation of its earnings per share disclosures.

	In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 
issued SFAS No. 130, "Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130).  SFAS No. 
130 becomes effective in 1998 and requires reclassification of 
earlier financial statements for comparative purposes.  SFAS No. 130 
requires that amounts of certain items, including foreign currency 
translation adjustments and gains and losses on certain securities, 
be included in comprehensive income in the financial statements.  
SFAS No. 130 does not require a specific format for the financial 
statement in which comprehensive income is reported, but does require 
that an amount representing total comprehensive income be reported in 
that statement.  Management has not yet determined the effects, if 
any, of SFAS No. 130 on the consolidated financial statements.

	Also, in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures 
about Segments for an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS No. 
131).  This Statement will change the way public companies report 
information about segments of their business in their annual 
financial statements and requires them to report selected segment 
information in their quarterly reports issues to shareholders.  It 
also requires entity-wide disclosures about the products and services 
an entity provides, the material countries in which it holds assets 
and reports revenues, and its major customers.  The Statement is 
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  
Management has not yet determined the effect, if any, of SFAS No. 131 
on the consolidated financial statements.
