               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

     The  following  documents  filed by  Security  Bank  Holding  Company  (the
"Company")  with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission  are  incorporated  by
reference in this registration statement:

     (a) The Company's  annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December
31, 1996,  filed  pursuant to section  13(a) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, file number 0-27590.

     (b) All other  reports  filed  pursuant  to  Section  13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended,  since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the registrant document referred to in (a) above.

     (c)  The  description  of the  Common  Stock  contained  in  the  Company's
registration  statement on Form SB-1  declared  effective by the  Commission  on
September 12, 1996 (File No. 33-80795).

     All  documents  filed  by the  Company  subsequent  to those  listed  above
pursuant to Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended,  prior to the filing of a  post-effective  amendment  which
indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters
all securities  then remaining  unsold,  shall be deemed to be  incorporated  by
reference  herein  and to be a part  hereof  from  the  date of  filing  of such
documents.

Item 4.           Description of Securities.

         Not Applicable.

Item 5.           Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

         Not Applicable.

Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Under the Oregon  Business  Corporation  Act (Oregon  Revised  Statutes
("ORS") Sections 60.387 to 60.414),  applicable to the Company,  a person who is
made a party  to a  proceeding  because  such  person  is or was an  officer  or
director  of a  corporation  may  be  indemnified  by  the  corporation  against
liability  incurred by such person in connection  with the proceeding if (i) the
person's conduct was in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed
was in the  corporation's  best  interest  or at least not  opposed  to its best
interests and (ii) if the proceeding was a criminal  proceeding,  the Indemnitee
had  no   reasonable   cause  to  believe  his  or  her  conduct  was  unlawful.
Indemnification  is not  permitted  if the  person  was  adjudged  liable to the
corporation  in a proceeding  by or in the right of the  corporation,  or if the
Indemnitee was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she improperly received a
personal benefit. Unless the articles of the corporation provide otherwise, such
indemnification  is  mandatory if the  Indemnitee  is wholly  successful  on the
merits or otherwise, or if ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

         The Oregon  Business  Corporation  Act also  provides  that a company's
Articles of  Incorporation  may limit or eliminate  the personal  liability of a
director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for conduct
as a director,  provided that no such provision shall eliminate the liability of
a  director  for  (i) any  breach  of the  directors'  duty  of  loyalty  to the
corporation or its shareholders; (ii)

                                      II-1

<PAGE>



acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing  violation  of  law;  (iii)  any  unlawful  distribution;  or  (iv)  any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

         The Company's Articles of Incorporation  (the "Articles")  provide that
the company will  indemnify its directors  and officers,  to the fullest  extent
permissible  under the Oregon  Business  Corporation  Act  against  all  expense
liability and loss  (including  attorney fees) incurred or suffered by reason of
service as a director  or  officer  of the  company or is or was  serving at the
request of the company as a director,  officer,  partner,  trustee,  employee or
agent of  another  corporation,  partnership,  joint  venture,  trust,  employee
benefit plan or other enterprise.

         The effect of these  provisions  is to limit the liability of directors
for monetary damages, and to indemnify the directors and officers of the Company
for all costs and expenses for liability incurred by them in connection with any
action,  suit or proceeding in which they may become involved by reason of their
affiliation  with the Company,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by law.  These
provisions  do not limit the  rights of the  Company or any  shareholder  to see
non-monetary   relief,   and  do  not   affect   a   director's   or   officer's
responsibilities under any other laws, such as securities or environmental laws.

Item 9.           Undertakings.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

     (1)  To  include  any  prospectus  required  by  Section  10(a)(3)  of  the
Securities Act of 1933;

     (2) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events,  which,  individually
or  together,   represent  a  fundamental  change  in  the  information  in  the
registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease
in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was  registered)  and any deviation  from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus  filed  with  the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule  424(b)  if,  in the
aggregate,  the changes in volume and price  represent no more than a 20% change
in the  maximum  aggregate  offering  price  set  forth in the  "Calculation  of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

     (3) To include any additional or changed  material  information on the plan

Provided  however,  that  paragraphs  1 and 2 do not  apply  if the  information
required to be included in a  post-effective  amendment by those  paragraphs  is
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant  pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 that are  incorporated  by
reference in the registration statement.

     (B) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933,  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.

     (C) To file a post-effective  amendment to remove from  registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

Board of Directors
Security Bank Holding Company
170 S. Second St.
Coos Bay, Oregon  97420

         Re:      Form S-8 Registration of 1995 Stock Option Plan

Gentlemen:

         This firm is special  counsel to  Security  Bank  Holding  Company,  an
Oregon  corporation,  (the  "Company") and, in that capacity we have assisted in
the  preparation  of certain  documents  relating to the  potential  issuance of
276,000 shares of the Company's  common stock  ("Shares") in accordance with the
Company's  1995  Stock  Option  Plan  (the  "Plan"),   including  the  Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement").

         In the  course  of our  representation  as  described  above,  we  have
examined the Plan,  the  Registration  Statement as prepared for filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and related documents and correspondence.  We
have received  from officers of the Company  having  custody  thereof,  and have
reviewed,  the  Articles of  Incorporation  and Bylaws of the  Company,  and any
amendments,  and minutes of certain meetings of the Company's Board of Directors
and of its  shareholders.  We have  received  from the  officers  of the Company
certificates  containing  representations  concerning  certain  facutal  matters
relevant to this  opinion.  We have  received  certificates  from,  and have had
conversations  with,  public  officials in those  jurisdictions in which we have
deemed it appropriate.

         We have  relied as to  matters  of fact  upon the  above  certificates,
documents  and  investigation.   We  have  assumed  without   investigation  the
genuineness of all signatures,  the  authenticity and completeness of all of the
documents  submitted  to us as originals  and the  conformity  to authentic  and
complete original documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

         Based upon and subject to all of the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion
that:

                  The  Shares  have been  validly  authorized,  and when (i) the
                  Registration  Statement  has become  effective  and such state
                  securities  laws as may be applicable have been complied with,
                  and  (ii) the  Shares  have  been  delivered  against  payment
                  therefor as contemplated by the  Registration  Statement,  the
                  Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         This opinion is solely for your  information and is not to be quoted in
whole  or in part or  otherwise  referred  to,  nor is it to be  filed  with any
governmental  agency or other  person,  without our prior  written  consent.  We
hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.


                                Very truly yours,
