               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
of distribution;

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,  treat  each   post-effective   amendment  as  a  new
registration  statement  of the  securities  offered,  and the  offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.

         (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 1997 Directors Compensation 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
25,000 shares of the Company's  common stock  ("Shares") in accordance  with the
Company's 1997 Directors Compensation 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.

defect,  supply any omission or reconcile any  inconsistency  in this Plan or in
any Payment  Election in the manner and to the extent it shall deem  appropriate
in its sole discretion.

4        Eligibility

         Each director of the Company as of the Effective  Date, and each person
who thereafter becomes a director,  shall be eligible to receive compensation as
set forth in this Plan,  except no director who is an Employee shall be eligible
to participate in this Plan.

5        Compensation

         5.1  Base  Compensation.  Each  director  shall  receive  $400 for each
         regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors, and $100 for each
         committee  meeting,  as provided herein.  Base  Compensation will be in
         accordance with a Payment Election as provided in Section 6.1 below.

                  5.1.1             Meeting Attendance.

                  (a) Regular Board Meetings.  Each director will be entitled to
                  receive  compensation for each Regular Meeting of the Board of
                  Directors attended during the Compensation Year. Attendance at
                  Regular  Meetings  may  be in  person  or by  phone.  No  Base
                  Compensation  shall be paid to any  director  for any  Regular
                  Meeting from which that director was absent.  A director shall
                  receive  credit for attendance  notwithstanding  any conflicts
                  requiring  that the  director  join or leave  any  meeting  in
                  progress.  Any meeting in which the Company and any subsidiary
                  bank hold a joint meeting or meetings in succession shall only
                  count as one meeting for  purposes of this Plan.  For purposes
                  of determining Incentive  Compensation under Section 5.2 only,
                  the Board of  Directors,  upon a finding of the  existence  of
                  extenuating  circumstances  justifying absence,  may authorize
                  credit  for  attendance  by a  director  who is absent  from a
                  meeting.

                  (b)      Special Board Meetings. Each director will be
                  entitled to receive compensation for each Special Meeting of
                  the Board of Directors attended during the Compensation Year.
                  Attendance at Special Meetings may be in person or by

<PAGE>



                  phone. No Base Compensation  shall be paid to any director for
                  any Special  Meeting from which that  director  was absent.  A
                  director shall receive  credit for attendance  notwithstanding
                  any  conflicts  requiring  that the director join or leave any
                  meeting in  progress.  For purposes of  determining  Incentive
                  Compensation  under Section 5.2 only,  each director  shall be
                  entitled to attendance credit  notwithstanding  the director's
                  absence  from no more than two  Special  Meetings  during  the
                  Compensation Year.

                  (c)      Committee Meetings. Each director shall be entitled
                  to Base Compensation for each committee meeting attended
                  during the Compensation Year.

         5.2      Incentive Compensation. Each director shall be entitled to
         receive Incentive Compensation, payable annually as of January 1 of
         each year in accordance with this section.

                  5.2.1 No Incentive  Compensation  shall be payable  unless and
                  until the Company  achieves a return on average  equity of ten
                  percent (10%) (the "Threshold Amount").

                  5.2.2 An Incentive  Compensation  allocation for each director
                  ("Allocation")  shall be  established  consisting of an amount
                  calculated as follows, up to a maximum Allocation of $10,000:

                           (a)  For  purposes  of this  subsection,  "Allocation
                           Step"  is an  amount  equal to the  Threshold  Amount
                           expressed in dollars multiplied by 2.3%.

                           (b)      For purposes of this subsection, the
                           "Index" is the ratio of (i) the difference between
                           net income and the Threshold Amount expressed in
                           dollars to (ii) the Allocation Step;

                           (c) The Allocation  shall be an amount  calculated by
                           multiplying  the  Allocation  Step by the Index,  and
                           multiplying the resulting amount by 1.3%.

                  5.2.3 Each  director  who has served on the Board of Directors
                  for any portion of each year shall  receive that amount of his
                  or her Allocation  calculated by multiplying the Allocation by
                  a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the number of meetings
                  of the Board of Directors  held during the calendar year while
                  such director was a member of the Board,  and the  denominator
                  of which is the total  number of regular and special  meetings
                  of the Board of Directors held during the calendar year,  then
                  further  multiplying the resulting  figure by a fraction,  the
                  numerator  of which is the number of  meetings  for which such
                  director is credited with  attendance,  and the denominator of
                  which is the number of meetings  held during the calendar year
                  while such director was a member of the Board. Each director's
                  share  of his or her  Allocation  shall be paid in  Shares  of
                  Common  Stock as set forth in Section  6.4. Any portion of the
                  Allocation   not  paid  pursuant  to  this  section  shall  be
                  forfeited  to  the  Company,  and  not  reallocated  to  other
                  directors.

         6.1      Base Compensation

                  6.1.1 On or before  December  31 of any year,  a director  may
                  elect to receive Base  Compensation  for the following year in
                  the  form of cash or  Shares.  An  election  shall  be made by
                  submitting a Payment Election to the Secretary of the Company.

                  6.1.2 Base  Compensation  shall, in the absence of an election
                  pursuant  to this  section,  be in the  form  of cash  payable
                  monthly as of the last business day of each month.

                  6.1.3 An election  under this section shall be effective as of
                  January 1 of the  following  year and  shall  remain in effect
                  until  a  subsequent  Payment  Election  is  submitted  to the
                  Company,  which subsequent Payment Election shall be effective
                  as of the following January 1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                  any director  serving as of the Effective Date, and any person
                  who  thereafter  becomes  a  director,  may  make an  election
                  pursuant to this section to be effective for the  then-current
                  year,  provided  that such election is made not later than the
                  next regular  monthly  payment date of directors  compensation
                  under this Plan.  An  election  in effect  under this  section
                  shall apply to not less than all Base Compensation  payable to
                  a director under this Plan for the calendar year.

                  6.1.4 Each director who has elected to receive payment of Base
                  Compensation  in Shares of Common  Stock  shall be entitled to
                  receive  for the  Compensation  Year the  aggregate  number of
                  Shares for each  calendar  month  determined  by dividing  the
                  amount of Base  Compensation  earned each month by the Closing
                  Price on the last trading day of the respective month.

                  6.1.5 An election to receive Base  Compensation in the form of
                  Shares shall  constitute an agreement by the director to defer
                  payment of Base  Compensation  until Shares  representing such
                  payment  are  issued.   Shares   issued  as  payment  of  Base
                  Compensation  will be  issued in  certificate  form as soon as
                  reasonably  practicable  after the  close of the  Compensation
                  Year, except as provided in Section 6.1.6.

                  6.1.6 An election  under this section  shall be binding on and
                  inure to the benefit of a director's  heirs and  assigns,  and
                  the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Shares other
                  than as  provided  in this  Section,  except  that the Company
                  shall,  within  60  days  following  written  request  of  the
                  administrator or executor of a director's estate, issue Shares
                  then payable as Base Compensation.

         6.2      Incentive Compensation.

                  6.2.1 Incentive Compensation shall be paid solely in the form
                  of Shares of Common Stock.

                  6.2.2 As soon as reasonably practicable after the close of the
                  Compensation  Year, the Company shall issue,  to each director
                  who has served as a member of the Board of  Directors  for any
                  portion of such year, that number of Shares

                  representing   the  Incentive   Compensation,   calculated  in
                  accordance  with Section 6.2,  divided by the Closing Price on
                  the first trading day of such Compensation Year.

         6.3 Shares may be issued in the name of the director,  individually  or
         jointly with the  director's  spouse or lineal  descendants,  or in the
         name of a trust  established  for the  benefit of any of the  foregoing
         persons.

         6.4 Shares issued pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 for any Compensation
         Year will be  issued on and as of the same date and may be  represented
         by one or more  certificates.  Any fractional shares will be rounded up
         to the nearest whole Share.

         6.5 Until certificates representing Shares acquired under this Plan are
         issued,  such Shares  shall be deemed to not be issued and  outstanding
         for any corporate purposes. No person shall, with respect to Shares for
         which  certificates  have not been issued,  have any voting rights,  or
         rights to dividends or otherwise.

7        Stock Subject to the Plan

         The total  number of Shares of Common  Stock  issuable as  compensation
under this Plan shall not exceed Twenty Five  Thousand  (25,000)  Shares,  which
Shares  may be in  whole  or in  part,  as the  Board  shall  from  time to time
determine,  authorized  but  unissued  Shares or issued  Shares  which have been
reacquired by the Company. There shall at all times be reserved for issuance the
number of Shares of Common Stock covered by this Plan as herein set forth.

8        Duration of the Plan

         This  Plan  shall be  effective  as of the  Effective  Date  and  shall
continue in effect until all Shares  authorized  and reserved for issuance under

Directors.  The Board of Directors  shall have the right to suspend or terminate
this Plan at any time.

         The Board of Directors  may at any time and from time to time modify or
amend this Plan in such  respect as it shall deem  advisable to conform with any
changes in the law while this Plan is in effect or for any other reason.

10       Continuation as a Director

         Nothing in the Plan or right granted  pursuant hereto shall confer upon
any person a continued right to serve as a director of the Company.

11       Issue and Transfer Taxes

         The Board of  Directors  may from  time to time  agree to  require  the
Company to pay  issuance or  transfer  taxes on Shares  issued  pursuant to this
Plan.
