     This Prospectus Supplement supplements our Prospectus dated January 11,
1999.  Accordingly, you should read this Prospectus Supplement in conjunction
with the Prospectus.  Capitalized terms used in this Prospectus Supplement have
the meanings specified in the Prospectus.

     On January 13, 1999 we acquired 100% of the common stock of Great Midwest
Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurance company ("Great Midwest"), for an
aggregate purchase price of $939,119.  Of such purchase price, we paid cash of
$607,312 to seven of the eight shareholders of Great Midwest.  The remaining
shareholder received a promissory note for a principal amount of $331,807,
payable in three equal annual installments at an annual interest rate of 6% on
the unpaid principal balance.  None of the shareholders of Great Midwest are
affiliated with Summit.  We funded $350,000 of the cash portion of the purchase
price with a loan from BancFirst, Oklahoma City.  In determining the purchase
price, which was negotiated on an arms' length basis, we took into consideration
the discounted value of the future revenue stream attributable to the annual
premiums to be paid pursuant to existing life insurance contracts and the
capital and surplus capital balances of Great Midwest.  In the "Use of Proceeds"
section of the Prospectus, we originally had stated that a portion of the use of
proceeds of the offering would be used to fund the acquisition of Great Midwest.
Because we closed on the acquisition of Great Midwest prior to the release from
escrow of the minimum offering proceeds, the use of the net offering proceeds
necessarily will be different from that stated in the Prospectus, to reflect
that a portion of the net proceeds will be used to repay monies borrowed to fund
the acquisition, rather than to fund the acquisition itself.  We have included a
revised "Use of Proceeds" table in this Prospectus Supplement to reflect the
revised use of proceeds.

(1)  After deducting legal, accounting and printing expenses payable by the
     Company, estimated at $105,000 in the aggregate.
(2)  Bank borrowings were utilized to fund $350,000 of the cash portion of the
     purchase price, and will be repaid in full with the proceeds of this
     offering.  The balance was funded from cash from operations.
(3)  Most states have adopted risk-based capital ("RBC") rules to evaluate the
     adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment and
     insurance risks.  Statutory surplus and statutory operating results are
     determined according to statutes adopted by each state in which the
     subsidiaries do business.  Statutory surplus bears no direct relationship
     to equity as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
     The RBC formula is designed as an early warning tool to help state
     regulators identify possible weakly capitalized companies for the purpose
     of initiating regulatory action.  Increases to statutory capital and
     surplus in excess of the ratios required by state insurance regulators
     would permit the Company to increase its sales, while ensuring that
     fluctuations in premiums received and benefits paid do not have an adverse
     effect on the Company based on such regulatory guidelines.
(4)  Includes possible acquisitions of insurance companies and in force
     insurance policies consistent with the Company's business strategies, as
     well as payment of general overhead and operating expenses.
