                                  The Company
 
General
 
   Summit Securities, Inc. ("Summit") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of Idaho on July 25, 1990. Its principal executive offices are located at
601 West First Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99201-5015. Its mailing address is
P.O. Box 2162, Spokane, Washington 99210-2162 and its telephone number is (509)
838-3111. Summit also maintains an office at 8601 W. Emerald, Suite 150, Boise,
Idaho 83704 and its telephone number at that address is (208) 376-8260. Summit
and its subsidiaries are jointly referred to as the "Consolidated Group," while
references solely to the parent company will be to "Summit."
 
History
 
   We were founded in 1990, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Metropolitan
Mortgage & Securities Co., Inc. ("Metropolitan") and we were later acquired by
National Summit Corp. ("National") on September 9, 1994. In the first six
months of 1995, we acquired a broker/dealer, Metropolitan Investment
Securities, Inc., and a subsidiary holding company of Summit, Summit Group
Holding Company, who acquired Old Standard Life Insurance Company ("Old
Standard") from Metropolitan. On December 28, 1995, Old Standard acquired
another insurance company, Arizona Life Insurance Company ("Arizona Life"),
which subsequently changed its name to Old West Annuity & Life Insurance
Company ("Old West"). We also own a property development company, Summit
Property Development, Inc. The chart on the next page depicts the relationship
among certain significant companies within the Consolidated Group.
 
   Even though our parent company changed from Metropolitan to National, we
continue to be controlled by C. Paul Sandifur, Jr., who is both the owner of
National and the President and controlling shareholder of Metropolitan. As a
result of Mr. Sandifur's control, we have several affiliates that are
subsidiaries of Metropolitan, including Metwest Mortgage Services, Inc.
("Metwest") and Western United Life Assurance Company (Western United).
Collectively, Metropolitan, Metwest and Western United are referred to as
"Affiliated Companies."
 
Business
 
   The Consolidated Group is engaged in a nationwide business of originating,
acquiring, holding and selling receivables. These receivables include small to
mid-sized commercial real estate loans and real estate contracts and promissory
notes that are secured by first position liens on residential real estate. The
Consolidated Group also invests in receivables consisting of real estate
contracts and promissory notes secured by second and lower position liens,
structured settlements, annuities, lottery prizes, and other investments. These
assets are collectively referred to in this prospectus as "Receivables." The
Receivables secured by real estate are typically non-conventional because they
were either financed by the sellers of the property or they were originated by
institutional lenders who originate loans for borrowers with impaired credit or
for non-conventional properties. In addition to Receivables, the Consolidated
Group invests in U.S. Treasury obligations, corporate bonds and other
securities.
 
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
   Our capital to invest in these Receivables comes from several sources. The
Consolidated Group uses funds generated from Receivable cash flows, the sale of
annuities, the sale and securitization of Receivables, the sale of certificates
and preferred stock, collateralized borrowing, and securities portfolio
earnings.
 
   The Affiliated Companies provide services to the Consolidated Group for a
fee and engage in various business transactions with the Consolidated Group.
Metropolitan provides Receivable acquisition services, and Metwest provides
Receivable collection and servicing to Summit, Old Standard and Old West. For a
more detailed discussion of the business of the Consolidated Group, see "Item
1" in Summit's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended September
30, 1998, which is attached to this prospectus.

                              will be issued only in book-entry form. See
                              "DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATES."
 
Certificates                  The Certificates are unsecured debt of Summit. At
                              September 30, 1998, we had outstanding
                              approximately $55,894,000 (principal and
                              compounded and accrued interest) of certificates
                              and similar obligations and approximately
                              $184,000 (principal and accrued interest) of
                              collateralized debt and similar obligations. See
                              "CAPITALIZATION."
 
Principal and Interest        You may elect one of three options to receive
Payments                      principal and interest payments on the
                              Certificates: (1) to receive interest monthly,
                              quarterly, semi-annually or annually, without
                              compounding, (2) to leave the interest with
                              Summit and it will compound semi-annually, or (3)
                              for the installment Certificates, monthly
                              installments of principal and interest in
                              accordance with an amortization schedule that you
                              select. The minimum investment amounts, terms and
                              interest rates on unissued Certificates offered
                              hereby may be changed from time to time by Summit
                              by supplementing this prospectus. The terms of
                              Certificates issued prior to such change will not
                              be affected. See "DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATES--
                              Payment of Principal and Interest."
 
Use of Proceeds               We will use the proceeds of this Certificate
                              offering to invest in Receivables and to make
                              other investments, which may include investments
                              in existing subsidiaries, new business ventures
                              or to acquire other companies. We may also use
                              the proceeds to retire maturing certificates, to
                              pay preferred stock dividends and for general
                              corporate purposes. See "USE OF PROCEEDS."
 
Risk Factors                  Your investment in the Certificates involves a
                              certain degree of risk. You should purchase the
                              Certificates only after reviewing the risks
                              described in this prospectus. See "RISK FACTORS"
                              for a complete discussion of the risks associated

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
   When deciding whether or not to purchase the Certificates offered in this
prospectus, you should consider the risks set forth in the "INTRODUCTION--
Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" section of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998 incorporated into and attached
to this prospectus. You should also consider the following risks associated
with an investment in the Certificates:
 
The Indenture does not         Summit's and your rights and obligations in the
restrict the ability of        certificates offered in this prospectus
Summit to incur additional     ("Certificates") are defined in an indenture
debt                           dated as of November 15, 1990, and the first
                               supplement to that indenture dated as of
                               December 31, 1997. The indenture does not
                               restrict our ability to issue additional
                               certificates or to incur other unsecured or
                               collateralized debt. We are not required to
                               maintain any specified financial ratios,
                               minimum net worth, minimum working capital or a
                               sinking fund.
 
Certificates are not insured   The Certificates offered in this prospectus are
against the risk of loss       unsecured obligations of our company and they
                               are not insured or guaranteed by any bank, any
                               governmental agency, any insurance company, any
                               affiliate of our company or any other person or
                               entity. Thus, the Certificates have greater
                               risk than investments that are insured by such
                               entities against the risk of loss.
 
Certificates are not a         There is no trading market for the
liquid investment due to the   certificates, and it is not anticipated that
absence of a market to trade   one will develop. Generally, you cannot have
the Certificates               your Certificates redeemed until they mature.
                               There are only limited situations in which
                               Certificates can be redeemed early. These may
                               include situations where there is a mutual
                               agreement between you and Summit, or when the
                               "prepayment on death" provision applies. You
                               should consider your needs for liquidity before
                               investing in the Certificates and you should be
                               prepared to hold any Certificates purchased in
                               this offering until their maturity. See
                               "DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATES."
 
Risks with using the book-     Our use of book-entry certificates rather than
entry certificates because     actual physical certificates in this offering
there are no physical          could limit the markets for these securities,
certificates to transfer       prevent a secondary market from forming and
                               could delay payments to you. The absence of
                               physical certificates for the Certificates may
                               prevent a secondary market from developing
                               because investors like yourself may be
                               unwilling to invest in securities if they
                               cannot obtain delivery of physical
                               certificates. The use of book-entry
                               certificates may delay payments to you because
                               distributions on such Certificates would be
                               made first to the person in whose name the
                               Certificates are registered.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
   If all of the Certificates that are offered in this prospectus are sold, we
expect net proceeds to total $50,000,000 before deducting offering expenses
and sales commissions. Sales commissions will range from zero to six percent
(0% -6%) of the offering proceeds (between $0 and $3,000,000), depending on
the maturities of the Certificates sold and whether sales are reinvestments or
new purchases. Other expenses are estimated to be $157,000. There can be no
assurance, however, that any of the Certificates can or will be sold.
 
   In conjunction with the other funds available to us through operations
and/or borrowings, we currently plan to utilize the proceeds of the offered
Certificates for the following purposes, which are shown in descending order
of priority: funding investments in Receivables and other investments, which
may include investing in existing subsidiaries, commencing new business
ventures and acquiring other companies. The Consolidated Group continues to
evaluate possible acquisition candidates, but there are presently no
commitments or agreements for material acquisitions. To the extent internally
generated funds are insufficient or unavailable for the retirement of maturing
certificates through the period ending January 31, 2000, proceeds of this
offering may be used for retiring maturing certificates, preferred stock
dividends and for general corporate purposes (debt service, and other general
operating expenses). Approximately $8,638,000 in principal amount of debt
securities will mature between February 1, 1999 and January 31, 2000 with
interest rates ranging from 6.35% to 10.0% and averaging approximately 8.0%
per annum. See "BUSINESS--Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1998.
 
   Management anticipates that some of the proceeds of this offering will be
invested in money market funds, bank repurchase agreements, commercial paper,
U.S. Treasury Bills and similar short-term investments until used as stated
above. Due to our inability to accurately forecast the total amount of
Certificates to be sold pursuant to this offering, no specific amounts have
been allocated for any of the foregoing purposes.
 
   In the event substantially less than the maximum proceeds are obtained, we
do not anticipate any material changes to our planned use of proceeds from
those described above.
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CERTIFICATES
 
General
 
   The Certificates will be issued under an indenture, as amended, dated as of
November 15, 1990 and a supplement thereto dated as of December 31, 1997
(collectively, the "Indenture"). The following statements under this caption
relating to the Certificates and the Indenture are summaries and do not
purport to be complete. Such summaries are subject to the detailed provisions
of the Indenture and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the
Indenture, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and is also available for inspection at the principal office of
Summit.
 
   The Certificates will represent general unsecured obligations of Summit and
will be issued in book-entry form without coupons, in fractional denominations
of $0.01 or more. The Certificates will have the minimum investment amounts,
maturities and the interest rates set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus. The stated interest rates, maturities, and minimum investment
amounts of unissued Certificates may be changed at any time by Summit by way
of supplement to this prospectus. Any such change will have no effect on the
terms of the previously sold Certificates.
 
   Certificates may be transferred or exchanged for other Certificates of the
same series of a like aggregate principal amount, subject to the limitations
set forth in the Indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates. Summit may require payment of taxes or other
governmental charges
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange. Interest will accrue
at the stated rate from the date of issue until maturity. The Certificates are
not convertible into capital stock or other securities of Summit.
 
   The Certificates are not subject to redemption prior to maturity, but may
be prepaid pursuant to the prepayment on death provision described below.
Also, in limited circumstances involving an investor's demonstrated financial
hardship, subject to regulatory restrictions affecting redemptions and
exchanges of securities during an offering, Summit may, in its sole
discretion, consider a request for an early payout of a Certificate upon terms
mutually agreed to by the holder of the Certificate and Summit. Such early
payout requests are reviewed in the order received and are subject to the
review by Summit's executive management.
 
Payment of Principal and Interest
 
   Interest will be payable to the Certificate holder(s) under one of several
interest payment plans. The purchaser selects an interest payment plan at the
time the Certificates are purchased and can change this plan at any time by
giving written notice to Summit. The purchaser may elect to have uncompounded
interest paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis without
compounding. Or, an investor may elect to leave the accrued interest with
Summit in which case it will compound semi-annually at the stated interest
rate. Purchasers who choose the compounding option, upon written notice to
Summit, may withdraw the interest accumulated during the last two completed
semi-annual compounding periods and the interest accrued from the end of the
last compounding period to the date Summit receives the notice. However,
interest that was compounded prior to the last two completed semi-annual
compounding periods is available only at maturity.
 
   Alternatively, the Certificate holder can elect to level monthly
installments comprised of principal and interest, subject to the minimum term
and investment requirements set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
These payments will be paid to the Certificate holder commencing 30 days from
the issue date of the Certificate until maturity. The amount of each
installment will be determined by the amortization term designated by the
Certificate holder at the time the Certificate is purchased.
 
   Certificate holders will be notified in writing approximately 30 days prior
to the date their Certificates will mature. The amounts due on maturity are
placed in a separate bank trust account until paid to the Certificate
holder(s). Certificates do not earn interest after the maturity date. Unless
otherwise requested by the Certificate holder, Summit will pay the principal
and accumulated interest due on the matured certificate to the Certificate
holder(s) at Summit's main office, or by mail to the address designated by the
Certificate holder(s).
 
Prepayment on Death
 
   In the event of the death of a registered owner of a Certificate, any party
entitled to receive some or all of the proceeds of the Certificate may elect
to have his or her portion of the principal and any accrued but unpaid
interest prepaid in full in five consecutive equal monthly installments.
Interest will continue to accrue on the declining principal balance of such
portion. No interest penalties will be assessed. Any request for prepayment
shall be made to Summit in writing and shall be accompanied by the Certificate
and evidence satisfactory to Summit of the death of the registered owner or
joint registered owner. Before prepayment, Summit may require the submission
of additional documents or other material which it may consider necessary to
determine the portion of the proceeds the requesting party is entitled to
receive, or assurances which, in Summit's discretion, it considers necessary
to the fulfillment of its obligations.
 
Related Indebtedness
 
   The Indenture pursuant to which the Certificates are issued does not
restrict Summit's ability to issue additional Certificates or to incur other
debt. The Indenture does not require Summit to maintain any specified
financial ratios, minimum net worth or minimum working capital. Certificates
will not be guaranteed or insured by any governmental or private agency. The
Certificates offered hereby are senior in liquidation to all outstanding
equity securities of Summit. They are subordinate to Summit's secured debt and
are on a parity with all other
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
outstanding certificates, unsecured accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
The amount of outstanding certificates on September 30, 1998, including
compound and accrued interest, was approximately $55,894,000. There are no
limitations on Summit's ability to incur collateralized debt. Collateralized
debt outstanding on that date was approximately $184,000, including principal
and accrued interest. Certificate holders should not rely on the terms of the
Indenture for protection of their investment, but should look rather to the
creditworthiness of Summit and its ability to satisfy its obligations.
 
Concerning the Trustee
 
   First Trust National Association ("First Trust") was appointed successor
trustee (the "Trustee") under the Indenture on April 24, 1996, at which time
Management was informed by West One that the reason for the resignation was
its business decision to discontinue Trust services. First Trust assumed all
of the duties and obligations of the trustee as set forth in the Indenture, as
amended and supplemented. The Trustee is obligated under the Indenture to
oversee, and if necessary, to take action to enforce fulfillment of Summit's
obligations to Certificate holders. First Trust was subsequently acquired by
U.S. Bank Trust National Association, but continues its role as Trustee. The
Trustee is a national banking association, with a combined capital and surplus
in excess of $100 million. Summit and certain of its affiliates may maintain
deposit accounts with and may, from time to time, borrow money from the
Trustee and conduct other banking transactions with it. At September 30, 1998
and as of the date of this prospectus, no loans from the Trustee were
outstanding. In the event of default, the Indenture permits the Trustee to
become a creditor of Summit and does not preclude the Trustee from enforcing
its rights as a creditor, including rights as a holder of collateralized
indebtedness.
 
Rights and Procedures in the Event of Default
 
   Events of default include the failure of Summit to pay interest on any
Certificate for a period of 30 days after it becomes due and payable; the
failure to pay the principal or any required installment thereof of any
Certificate when due; the failure to perform any other covenant in the
Indenture for 60 days after notice; and certain events in bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization with respect to Summit. Upon the occurrence of an
event of default, either the Trustee or the holders of 25% or more in
principal amount of Certificates then outstanding may declare the principal of
all the Certificates to be due and payable immediately.
 
   The Trustee must give the Certificate holders notice by mail of any default
within 90 days after the occurrence of the default, unless the default has
been cured or waived. The Trustee may withhold such notice if it determines in
good faith that such withholding is in the best interest of the Certificate
holders, except if the default consists of failure to pay principal or
interest on any Certificate.
 
   Subject to certain conditions, any such default, except failure to pay
principal or interest when due, may be waived by the holders of a majority (in
aggregate principal amount) of the Certificates then outstanding. Such holders
will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or of exercising any power
conferred on the Trustee, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. The
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity from holders of Certificates before
acting at their direction.
 
   Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, Summit must furnish to
the Trustee a statement of certain officers of Summit concerning their
knowledge as to whether or not Summit is in default under the Indenture.
 
Modification of the Trust Indenture
 
   Certificate holders' rights may be modified with the consent of the holders
of 66 2/3% of the outstanding principal amounts of Certificates, and 66 2/3%
of each series affected. In general, no adverse modification of the terms of
payment and no modification reducing the percentage of Certificates required
for modification is effective against any Certificate holder without his or
her consent.

Restrictions on Consolidation, Merger and Other Fundamental Corporate Changes
 
   Summit may not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or
transfer substantially all its assets unless either Summit is the continuing
corporation formed by such consolidation, or into which Summit is merged, or
the person acquiring by conveyance or transfer of such assets shall be a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any
state thereof which assumes the performance of every covenant of Summit under
the Indenture and certain other conditions precedent are fulfilled. The
Indenture contains no other provisions or covenants which afford holders of
the Certificates special protection in the event of a highly leveraged buyout
transaction.
 
Transfer Agent and Registrar
 
   Metropolitan acts as Transfer Agent and Registrar for Summit's
Certificates.
 
                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
   The Certificates are offered directly to the public on a continuing best
efforts basis through Metropolitan Investment Securities, Inc. ("MIS"), which
is a subsidiary of Summit. Accordingly, the offering has not received the
independent selling agent review customarily made when an unaffiliated selling
agent offers securities. No commission or other expense of the offering will
be paid by the purchasers of the Certificates. A commission will, however, be
paid by Summit on most Certificate purchases in the maximum amount of 6% of
the Certificate price, generally depending on the term of the Certificate and
whether or not the transaction is a reinvestment or new purchase. Certificates
are offered only for cash or cash equivalents. MIS will transmit such funds
directly to Summit by noon of the next business day after receipt. Summit will
also pay certain other expenses in connection with the offering. During the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, MIS received commissions of $492,169
from Summit on sales of approximately $14,169,000 of Summit's debt securities.
 
   MIS is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(the "NASD"). As such, NASD Rule 2720 applies and requires, in part, that a
qualified independent underwriter be engaged to make a recommendation
regarding the interest rates to be paid on the Certificates offered through
this prospectus. Accordingly, MIS has obtained a letter from Cruttenden Roth
Incorporated, a NASD member, ("Cruttenden") that the interest rates on the
Certificates using a formula tied to corresponding interest rates paid by the
U.S. Treasury and regional financial institutions is consistent with
Cruttenden's recommendations which were based on conditions and circumstances
existing as of the date of the prospectus. Summit undertakes to maintain the
interest rates on Certificates no lower than those recommended by Cruttenden
based on the formula. Accordingly, the yield at which the Certificates will be
distributed will be no lower than that recommended by Cruttenden. Cruttenden
has assumed the responsibilities of acting as the qualified independent
underwriter in pricing the offering and conducting due diligence. For
performing its functions as a qualified independent underwriter with respect
to the Certificates offered hereunder, Cruttenden is to be paid $33,334 in
fees.
 
   The Registrant has agreed to indemnify Cruttenden against, or make
contributions to Cruttenden with respect to certain liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
 
   There is not now and Summit does not expect that there will be a public
trading market for the Certificates in the future. MIS does not intend to make
a market for the Certificates. See "RISK FACTORS--Certificates are not a
liquid investment due to the absence of a market to trade the Certificates."
 
   MIS may enter into selected dealer agreements with and reallow to certain
dealers who are members of the NASD, and certain foreign dealers who are not
eligible for membership in the NASD, a commission of up to 6% of the principal
amount of Certificates sold by such dealers.

Item 17. Undertakings

   (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
  a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

       (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");

       (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in the registration statement;

       (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
    of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
    or any material change to such information in the registration
    statement;

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act,
  each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
  statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
  such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
  offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
   (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has
 
                                      II-2
<PAGE>
 
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer, or controlling persons of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
 
   (c) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
   For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each post-
effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                            expense whatsoever to which such Indemnified Person

                            or other federal or state statutory law or
                            regulation, at common law or otherwise, arising out
                            of, based upon, or in any way related or attributed
                            to (i) this Agreement, (ii) any untrue statement or
                            alleged untrue statement of a material fact
                            contained in the Registration Statement or
                            Prospectus or any other filing, report, document,
                            release or communication, whether oral or written,
                            referred to in paragraph 5 hereof or the omission or

                            the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any
                            application or other document executed by Summit or
                            based upon written information furnished by Summit
                            filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify the
                            Certificates under the securities or Blue Sky laws
                            thereof, or the omission or alleged omission to
                            state therein a material fact required to be stated
                            therein or necessary to make the statements therein

                            Agreement. Summit further agrees that upon demand by
                            an Indemnified Person at any time or from time to
                            time, it will promptly reimburse such Indemnified
                            Person for, or pay, any loss, claim, damage,
                            liability, cost or expense as to which Summit has
                            indemnified such 
<PAGE>
 
                            person pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the
                            foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7, any such
                            payment or reimbursement by Summit of fees, expenses
                            or disbursement incurred by an Indemnified Person in
                            any proceeding in which a final judgment by a court
                            of competent jurisdiction (after all appeals or the
                            expiration of time to appeal) is entered against
                            such Indemnified Person as a direct result of such
                            person's negligence, bad faith or willful
                            misfeasance will be promptly repaid to Summit. In
                            addition, anything in this paragraph 7 to the
                            contrary notwithstanding, Summit shall not be liable
                            for any settlement of any action or proceeding
                            effected without its written consent.

                  (b)       Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person
                            under sub-paragraph (a) above of notice of the
                            commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person
                            will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
                            against Summit under paragraph (a), notify Summit in
                            writing of the commencement thereof; but the
                            omission to so notify Summit will not relieve Summit
                            from any liability which it may have to any
                            Indemnified Person otherwise than under this
                            paragraph 7 if such omission shall not have
                            materially prejudiced Summit's ability to
                            investigate or to defend against such claim. In case
                            any such action is brought against any Indemnified
                            Person, and such Indemnified Person notifies Summit
                            of the commencement thereof, Summit will be entitled
                            to participate therein and, to the extent that it
                            may elect by written notice delivered to the
                            Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the
                            aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to
                            assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
                            satisfactory to such Indemnified Person; PROVIDED,
                            HOWEVER, that if the defendants in any such action
                            include both the Indemnified Person and Summit or
                            any corporation controlling, controlled by or under
                            common control with Summit, or any director,
                            officer, employee, representative or agent of any
                            thereof, or any other "Qualified Independent
                            Underwriter" retained by Summit in connection with
                            the Offering and the Indemnified Person shall have
                            reasonably concluded that there may be legal
                            defenses available to it which are different from or
                            additional to those available to such other
                            defendant, the Indemnified Person shall have the
                            right to select separate counsel to represent it.
                            Upon receipt of notice from Summit to such
                            Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the
                            defense of such action and approval by the
                            Indemnified Person of counsel, Summit will not be
                            liable to such Indemnified Person under this
                            paragraph 7 for any fees of counsel subsequently
                            incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
                            with the defense thereof (other than the reasonable
                            costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such
                            Indemnified Person) unless (i) the Indemnified
                            Person shall have employed separate counsel in
                            accordance with the provision of the next preceding
                            sentence (it being understood, however, that Summit
                            shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
                            one separate counsel in any one jurisdiction
                            representing the Indemnified Person, which counsel
                            shall be approved by CRUTTENDEN), (ii) Summit,
                            within a reasonable time after notice of
                            commencement of the action, shall not have employed
                            counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
                            Person to represent the Indemnified Person, or (iii)
                            Summit shall have authorized in writing the
                            employment of counsel for the Indemnified Person at
                            the expense of Summit, and except that, if clause
                            (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be
                            only in respect of the counsel referred to in such
                            clause (i) or (iii).

                            contribution in circumstances in which the
                            indemnification provided for in paragraph 7 is due
                            in accordance with its terms but is for any reason
                            held by a court to be unavailable from Summit to
                            CRUTTENDEN on grounds of policy or otherwise, Summit
                            and CRUTTENDEN shall contribute to the aggregate
                            losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including
                            legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in

                            which Summit and CRUTTENDEN may be subject in such
                            proportion so that CRUTTENDEN is responsible for
                            that portion represented by the percentage that its
                            fee under this Agreement bears to the public
                            offering price appearing on the cover page of the
                            Prospectus and Summit is responsible for the
                            balance, except as Summit may otherwise agree to
                            reallocate a portion of such liability with respect
                            to such balance with any other person, including,
                            without limitation, any other "Qualified Independent
                            Underwriter"; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) in no case
                            shall CRUTTENDEN be responsible for any amount in
                            excess of the fee set forth in paragraph 4 above and
                            (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent
                            misrepresentation within the meaning of Section
                            11(f) of the Act shall be entitled to contribution
                            from any person who was not guilty of such
                            fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this
                            paragraph (c), any person controlling, controlled by
                            or under common control with CRUTTENDEN, or any

                            rights to contribution as CRUTTENDEN and each person
                            who controls Summit within the meaning of Section 15
                            of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each
                            officer of Summit who shall have signed the
                            Registration Statement and each director of Summit
                            shall have the same rights to contribution as
                            Summit, subject in each case to clause (i) of this
                            paragraph (c). Any party entitled to contribution
                            will, promptly after receipt of notice of
                            commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
                            against such party in respect of which a claim for
                            contribution may be made against the other party
                            under this paragraph (c), notify such party from
                            whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to
                            so notify such party shall not relieve the party
                            from whom contribution may be sought from any other
                            obligation it or they may have hereunder or

                            this paragraph 7 shall remain operative and in full
                            force and effect regardless of any investigation
                            made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person or

                                   SCHEDULE A

                             SUMMIT SECURITIES, INC.

         The opinion of CRUTTENDEN is conditioned upon Summit's undertaking to
maintain the rates on its Certificates at least equal to an "assumed floor."
Based upon the pricing formula described below:

1.       The interest rate to be paid on the Certificates shall be fixed by
         Summit from time to time. However, the rate shall not be lower than the
         computation made per the worksheet on Schedule B, which is attached and
         incorporated by reference herein.

2.       The "assumed floor" for 6 to 11 month Certificates shall be at least
         1.0% above the lesser of the interest rate on the 6 month U.S. Treasury
         Bills, on a discount basis, based upon the auction average (which is
         published widely in newspapers throughout the country, normally on the
         day following the auction) and a composite average of the offering
         rates on 6 month certificates of deposit currently being offered by
         banks and savings institutions in the northwestern section of the
         United States. For purposes of this composite average of certificate of
         deposit rates, the rates being offered by the following institutions
         shall be considered initially:

         d.       Wells Fargo Bank
         e.       Washington Trust Bank
         f.       Washington Mutual Savings Bank

         CRUTTENDEN and Summit agree to review on an ongoing basis the group
         which comprises the composite average, and may substitute another
         institution in the composite group from time-to-time by mutual
         agreement, as the case may be.

3.       The "assumed floor" for 60 to 120 month Certificates shall be computed
         in like manner as that described in paragraph "2" above, except that
         the latest auction average on 5 year U.S. Treasury Notes shall be
         considered in place of the 6 month U.S. Treasury Bills, and 5 year
         certificates of deposit currently offered in the composite group shall
         be considered in lieu of the 6 month rate.

4.       Rates on 12 to 23 month, 24 to 35 month, 36 to 47 month and 48 to 59
         month Certificates shall be at least equal to the interpolated
         differences between the computation of the "assumed floor" of 6 to 11
         month Certificates and 60 to 120 month Certificates, based upon the
         computation set forth in Schedule B.

5.       Rates on Certificates payable in installments of principal and interest
         shall be no lower than .25% below the "assumed floor" for 60 to 120
         month Certificates.

6.       The computation of the "assumed floor" shall be made monthly, as of the
         first Tuesday of each month, or at such other times during any month
         that Summit causes the offering rates to change from those in effect on
         the first Tuesday of each month ("the computation date"). Summit agrees
         to furnish CRUTTENDEN with a computation of the "assumed floor" by
         completing the worksheet on Schedule B. Should the offering rates at
         that time on Summit's Certificates be less than the "assumed floor" as
         computed, Summit agrees to raise the rates on its Certificates to at
         least the "assumed floor" within 10 calendar days of the computation
         date. Should Summit fail to raise its offering rates within the 10 day
         period referred to above, CRUTTENDEN reserves the right, in its
         uncontrolled discretion, to withdraw its opinion regarding the offering
         rates on the Certificates.

Re:      Pricing of Summit Securities, Inc., Offering of $50,000,000 in
         Principal Amount of Investment Certificates, Series B

Dear Mr. Sandifur:

         This letter will serve to confirm our engagement as a "qualified
independent underwriter" as that term is defined subparagraph (b)(15) of Rule
2720 to the NASD bylaws, as amended ("Rule 2720").

         Based upon our review of the registration statement, and the
performance of "due diligence" as required in subparagraph (c)(3) to Rule 2720,
it appears that the yields on the Investment Certificates, Series B (which are
based upon the computation set forth in Schedules A and B to the Agreement to
Act as "Qualified Independent Underwriter" dated ____________, which is filed as
Exhibit 1(b) to the registration statement), are no lower than those which we
would recommend.

         We hereby consent to the use of our name as a "qualified independent
underwriter," in the Registration Statement filed by Summit Securities, Inc.
with respect to the above-referenced matter.

                                     Very truly yours,

          Re: Summit Securities, Inc. Investment Certificates, Series B

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to Summit Securities, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the filing of a registration statement to which this opinion is
filed as an exhibit on Form S-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"). The registration statement covers a proposed offering by the
Company of up to $50,000,000 principal amount of Investment Certificates, Series
B (the "Certificates"). Such registration statement, as amended, on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") at the time such
registration statement becomes effective (including financial statements and
schedules, exhibits and all other documents filed as a part thereof or
incorporated therein) are herein referred to as the "Registration Statement."

         In connection with this opinion, we have made such investigations and
examined such records, including the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws and corporate minutes as we deemed necessary to the performance of our
services and to give this opinion. We have also examined and are familiar with
the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction,
of such other documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have
deemed necessary for the preparation of this opinion. In expressing this
opinion, we have relied, as to any questions of fact upon which our opinion is
predicated, upon representations and certificates of the officers of the
Company.

         In giving this opinion we assumed:

             (a)  the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity and
         completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals;

             (b)  the conformity to originals and the authenticity of all
         documents supplied to us as certified, photocopied, conformed or
         facsimile copies and the authenticity and completeness of the originals
         of any such documents; and

             (c)  the proper, genuine and due execution and delivery of all
         documents by all parties to them and that there has been no breach of
         the terms thereof.

         Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth
above, and assuming (i) that the Registration Statement has become effective
under the Act, (ii) that all required actions are taken and conditions satisfied
with respect to the issuance of the Company's Certificates as specified in the
prospectus and (iii) consideration is

received for the Certificates: we are of the opinion that, when issued, the
Certificates will be binding obligations of the Company.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and the use of our name in the Registration Statement. In
giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and
Regulations of the Commission promulgated pursuant thereto.

                                        Very truly yours,

                            ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

                     U.S. BANK TRUST NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

     For the purpose of organizing an association to perform any lawful
activities of national banks, the undersigned do enter into the following
Articles of Association:

     FIRST.  The title of the Association shall be "U.S. Bank Trust National
Association."

     SECOND.  The main office of this Association shall be in the City of
Seattle, County of King, State of Washington.  The business of this Association
will be limited to that of a national trust bank, and to support activities
incidental thereto.  This Association will not amend these Articles of
Association to expand the scope of or alter its business beyond that stated in
the Article Second without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency.  Prior to the transfer of any stock of the Association, the
Association will seek the prior approval of the appropriate federal depository
institution regulatory agency.

     THIRD.  The board of directors of the Association shall consist of not less
than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and
from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors or
by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting
thereof.  Each director shall own common or preferred stock of this Association
with an aggregate par, fair market, or equity value of not less than $1,000.00
as of either (i) the date of purchase, or (ii) the date the person became a
director, whichever is more recent.  Any combination of common or preferred
stock of this Association or U.S. Bancorp may be used.

     Any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by action of a majority
of the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders.  The board of
directors may not increase the number of directors between meetings of
shareholders to a number that (1) exceeds by more than two the number of
directors last elected by shareholders where the number was fifteen or less, and
(2) exceeds by more than four the number of directors last elected by
shareholders where the number was sixteen or more, but in no event shall the
number of directors exceed twenty-five.

     Terms of directors, including directors, selected to fill vacancies, shall
expire at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are
elected, unless the directors resign or are removed from office.

     Despite the expiration of director's term the director shall continue to
serve until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until there is a
decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.

     Honorary or advisory members of the board of directors, without voting
power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of this
Association, may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full board of
directors, or by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting.
Honorary or advisory directors shall not be counted for purposes of determining
the number of directors of this Association or the presence of a quorum in
connection with any board action, and shall not be required to own qualifying
shares.

     FOURTH.  There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect
directors and transact whatever other business may be brought before the
meeting.  It shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the
board of directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in
the bylaws, or if that day falls on a legal holiday in the State in which this
Association is located, on the next following banking day.  If no election is
held on the day fixed, or in event of a legal holiday, an election may be held
on any subsequent day within sixty days of the day fixed, to be designated by
the board of directors, or, if the directors fail to fix the day, by
shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding.  In
all cases at least ten-days advance notice of the meeting shall be given to the
shareholders by first class mail.

     A director may resign at any time by delivering written or oral notice to
the board of directors, its chairperson, or to this Association, which
resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice
specifies a later effective date.

     A director may be removed by shareholders at a meeting called to remove him
or her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the
purposes is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill
one of the affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause; provided,
                                                                     ---------
however, that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to
- -------                                                                         
elect him or her under cumulative voting is voted against his or her removal.

     FIFTH.  The authorized amount of capital stock of this Association shall be
10,000 shares of common stock of the par value of one-hundred dollars ($100.00)
each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time,
according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

     No holder of shares of the capital stock of any class of this Association
shall have any preemptive or preferential right of subscription to any shares of
any class of stock of this Association, whether now or hereafter authorized, or
to any obligations convertible into stock of this Association, issued, or sold,

shareholders, provided that in no event may a record date be more that seventy
days before the meeting.

     SIXTH.  The board of directors shall appoint one of its members president
of this Association and one of its members chairperson of the board.  The board
of directors shall also have the power to appoint one or more vice presidents, a
secretary who shall keep minutes of the directors' and shareholders' meetings
and be responsible for authenticating the records of this Association, and such
other officers and employees as may be required to transact the business of this

          Association.

          herein shall restrict the power of shareholders to increase or
          decrease the capital of this Association in accordance with law, and

          for shareholder approval to increase or reduce the capital.

     (8)  Manage and administer the business and affairs of this Association.

                                  Page 4 of 8

States, or waived by shareholders, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of
every annual and special meeting of the shareholders shall be given by first-
class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least ten, and no more than sixty, days
prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at his/her
addresses as shown upon the books of this Association.  Unless otherwise
provided by these Articles of Association or the bylaws, any action requiring
approval of shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special

     TENTH.  Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or
directors or any action that may be taken at a meeting of shareholders or
directors may be taken without a meeting if consent in writing, setting forth
the action as taken shall be signed by all the shareholders or directors

     TWELFTH.  (a) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than any action
by or in the right of the Association) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer employee or agent of the Association, or is or was serving at
the request of the Association as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation,  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall be indemnified by the Association, unless similar indemnification is
provided by such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise (any funds received by any person as a result of the provisions of
this Article being deemed an advance against his receipt of any such other
indemnification from any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interest of the Association, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful.  The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
                                                ---- ----------       
equivalent, shall not, of itself,

                                  Page 5 of 8

March 30, 1998
<PAGE>
 
create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interest of the Association, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     (b) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to
any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
Association to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association, or
is or was serving at the request of the Association as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall
be indemnified by the Association, unless similar indemnification is provided by
such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise
(any funds received by any person as a result of the provisions of this Article
being deemed an advance against his receipt of any such other indemnification
from any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise), against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Association and except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Association
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnify for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

     (c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified by the
Association against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection therewith.

     (d) Except as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Article, any
indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Article (unless ordered by
the court), shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
Article.  Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the
directors who are

                                  Page 6 of 8

March 30, 1998

<PAGE>
 
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum,
or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

     (e) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director
in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the Association in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on
behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately
be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Association.
Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents
may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors
deems appropriate.

     (f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this
Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or seeking advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-
law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity
while holding such office.

     (g) By action of the Board of Directors, notwithstanding any interest of
the directors in the action, the Association may purchase and maintain
insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, on
behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Association, or is or was serving at the request of the Association as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him
and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Association shall have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of this Article.

     (h) For purpose of this Article, references to "the Association" shall
include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation
(including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or
merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and
authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any
person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under
this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation

                                  Page 7 of 8

March 30, 1998
<PAGE>
 
as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate
existence had continued.

     (i) For purposes of this Article, references to "other enterprises" shall
include employee benefit plans; reference to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Association" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or
agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or
beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not
opposed to the best interests of the Association" as referred to in this
Article.

     (j) The indemnification and advancement of expenses hereby provided shall,
unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

     THIRTEENTH.  These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or
special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders of a
greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the
holders of such greater amount.  This Association's board of directors may
propose one or more amendments to these Articles of Association for submission
to the shareholders.

Mr. Kenneth D. Hoffman
Secretary
U.S. Bank Trust National Association
601 Union Street
Seattle, Washington  98191

Dear Mr. Hoffman:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has received your letter
concerning the title change and the appropriate amendment to the Articles of
Association.  The OCC has recorded that as of March 30, 1998, the title of First
Trust National Association, Seattle, Washington, Charter No.  23133, was changed
to "U.S. Bank Trust National Association".

As a result of Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982, the OCC is
no longer responsible for the approval of national bank name changes nor does it
maintain official records on the use of alternate titles.  The use of other
titles or the retention of the rights to any previously used title is the
responsibility of the bank's board of directors.  Legal counsel should be
consulted to determine whether or not the new title, or any previously used
title, could be challenged by competing institutions under the provisions of
federal or state law.

Sincerely,

/s/ Judith A. Bollig

Schedule RC-R - Regulatory Capital

This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows: Banks that reported
total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, item 12, for June 30, 1997,
must complete items 2 through 9 and Memoranda items 1 and 2.  Banks with assets
of less than $1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R
in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.
                                                                            C280

1.  Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed.  To          RCON     YES     NO
    be completed only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion.  Indicate in     ----     ---     -- 
    the appropriate box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than       6056     X           1.
    or equal to eight percent of adjusted total assets
 
        For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S.
    Government agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the
    allowance for loan and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see
    instructions).
        If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below.  If the box
    marked NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
        A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than
    eight percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.

                Reported in the Reports of Condition and Income

Legal Title of Bank                       City                 State
 
The management of the reporting bank may, if it wishes, submit a brief narrative
statement on the amounts reported in the Reports of Condition and Income. This
optional statement will be made available to the public, along with the publicly
available data in the Reports of Condition and Income, in response to any
request for individual bank report data. However, the information reported in
column A and in all of Memorandum item 1 of Schedule RC-N is regarded as
confidential and will not be released to the public. BANKS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT
THE NARRATIVE STATEMENT SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE
NAMES OR OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUAL BANK CUSTOMERS, REFERENCES TO THE
AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE CONFIDENTIAL ITEMS IN SCHEDULE RC-N, OR ANY OTHER
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HAVE MADE PUBLIC OR THAT WOULD
COMPROMISE THE PRIVACY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. Banks choosing not to make a
statement may check the "No comment" box below and should make no entries of any
kind in the space provided for the narrative statement; i.e., DO NOT enter in
this space such phrases as "No statement," "Not applicable," "N/A," "No
comment," and "None."

The optional statement must be entered on this sheet. The statement should not
exceed 100 words. Further, regardless of the number of words, the statement must
not exceed 750 characters, including punctuation, indentation, and standard
spacing between words and sentences. If any submission should exceed 750
characters, as defined, it will be truncated at 750 characters with no notice to
the submitting bank and the truncated statement will appear as the bank's
statement both on agency computerized records and in computer-file releases to
the public. 

All information furnished by the bank in the narrative statement must be
accurate and not misleading. Appropriate efforts shall be taken by the
submitting bank to ensure the statement's accuracy. The statement must be
signed, in the space provided below, by a senior officer of the bank who thereby
attests to its accuracy.

If, subsequent to the original submission, material changes are submitted for
the data reported in the Reports of Condition and Income, the existing narrative
statement will be deleted from the files, and from disclosure; the bank, at its
option, may replace it with a statement, under signature, appropriate to the
amended data.

The optional narrative statement will appear in agency records and in release to
the public exactly as submitted (or amended as described in the preceding
paragraph) by the management of the bank (except for the truncation of
statements exceeding the 750-character limit described above). THE STATEMENT
WILL NOT BE EDITED OR SCREENED IN ANY WAY BY THE SUPERVISORY AGENCIES FOR
ACCURACY OR RELEVANCE. DISCLOSURE OF THE STATEMENT SHALL NOT SIGNIFY THAT ANY
FEDERAL SUPERVISORY AGENCY HAS VERIFIED OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED THEREIN. A STATEMENT TO THIS EFFECT WILL APPEAR ON ANY
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE OPTIONAL STATEMENT SUBMITTED BY THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
REPORTING BANK.
