PART I


Item 1. Business
--------
(a) Pacific Security Companies was merged into Security Savesco, Inc.
as of May 31, 1985. The name of Security Savesco, Inc., the
surviving corporation, was changed to Pacific Security Companies
as of the date of the merger.

Prior to the merger, both corporations were engaged principally
in real estate contract financing and owning, leasing and selling
real properties. The merged corporation has continued these
activities. Total assets of the registrant at July 31, 1997 and
1996 were $32,294,907 and $32,840,107, respectively, and real
estate contracts represent approximately 34% and 32% of the
respective asset totals. The Company began curtailing its
contract acquisitions and presently primarily originates
contracts to facilitate the sale of real estate held for sale or
development. Many of the contracts have fixed contractual
interest rates from 5.25% to 14.25% and there is no provision for
changing these rates to current market rates. However, for real
estate contracts purchased by the Company, most contracts have
been purchased at a discount from the contract balance which
increases the effective yield. Newer contracts bear interest
rates based on current market conditions. The total amount
invested in real estate contracts and mortgages of $10,971,700 as
of July 31, 1997 is $478,756 more than at the end of the prior
year. The percentage of contracts which were delinquent over 90
days was 0.4% as of July 31, 1997 and 1.0% as of July 31, 1996.
Management continues to emphasize enforcement of the Company's
credit and collection policies.

In fiscal 1997, the Company continued to emphasize the
development of its rental properties and commenced new projects
primarily to improve the occupancy of its commercial buildings.
Correspondingly, the acquisition of additional real estate
contracts was minimal, other than for Company financed sales of
its real estate.

In fiscal 1996, the Company completed construction of Birdies
Golf Center (Birdies). The golf center features a 56-tee driving
range, a fully-lighted, contoured fairway with 5 target greens, a
pro shop, teaching studios and an 8,000-square-foot putting
green. Birdies serves as a practice and teaching center for all
levels of golfers and additionally sells golf clubs and related
golfing supplies. Birdies has been constructed on land held for
development by the Company since 1990. Cumulative costs incurred
to construct the facility, including land costs, were
approximately $2,297,000. See further information on this
business segment in Notes 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Additionally, in fiscal 1997, the Company continued developing
certain land for residential development. The Company has
madestreet improvements and began underground and power line
utility construction. The project, known as Tanglewood Ranch Park
Estates(The Crest) offers approximately 21 ten-acre parcels
suitable for home construction. The Company anticipates marketing
these parcels extensively in the spring of 1998.

Investments in rental properties totaled $13,487,085 and
$14,930,040 as of July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
decrease is primarily the net result of increased additional
costs that are more than offset by depreciation and sales. Other
real property held for sale totaled $4,039,208 and $3,797,395 as
of July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These properties will be
liquidated and/or developed at such time as market conditions
warrant, and in the judgment of management, when the Company can
maximize its return. The Company will continue to invest in and
hold real property on a long-term basis. These properties may
ultimately be sold on an installment basis for tax purposes in
order to minimize and defer related income taxes and to conserve
funds for additional investment purposes. These plans may be
modified as the result of future changes to the Internal Revenue
Code.

With the Company's sale of certain commercial real estate and
multi-family housing, rental income has decreased from $2,832,139
in fiscal 1995 to $2,398,369 in fiscal 1997. During the same
period, interest income, including the amortization of discounts
on real estate contracts, has declined from 30% of total income
in fiscal 1995 to 22% of total income in fiscal 1997. The Company
expects to continue its emphasis on the development, leasing and
sale of commercial real estate in fiscal 1998 along with the
continued operation of Birdies and marketing of the Tanglewood
parcels. There are no contractual commitments other than the
remaining remodeling costs associated with improvements for
commercial buildings. The Company's fiscal 1998 capital
expenditures may increase if demand for the rental of Company
properties continues or if the Company decides to further develop
any of its properties held for sale. A description of the
Company's significant properties is included in Item 2
Properties.

The Company's business is concentrated in financing real estate
contracts, developing real estate for sale or lease and the
operation of Birdies. The Company is in competition with
financial institutions who invest in real estate collateralized
contracts and commercial property owners located primarily in or
near Spokane, Washington. As of July 31, 1997, the Company
employed approximately 33 people on a full-time equivalent basis,
11 of whom are in its office at N. 10 Post Street in Spokane,
Washington.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
---------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

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

The Company engages in financing real estate collateralized contracts,
acquiring real estate that is either held for sale or developed and
leased or sold and operating Birdies Golf Center as its primary
activities. During the past two years, the Company has been emphasizing
the development and lease of its commercial office building projects as
demand for the available space in these projects has increased.
Virtually all of the Company's development of these commercial office
building projects has involved extensive remodeling efforts in
connection with preparation of previously unoccupied space for a new
tenant and structural changes as required by current building codes.

The Company invests in real estate collateralized contracts and real
property primarily within the state of Washington, with a
concentration in Spokane County. The Company has concentrated its
efforts primarily on the development and sale of existing real estate
projects to maximize the return from those investments. The Company
has curtailed its contract acquisitions and now primarily originates
real estate contracts to facilitate the sale of its property held for
sale or development and makes loans secured by real estate.

Birdies Golf Center (Birdies) opened to the pubic in fiscal 1996. The
Company has focused on a marketing campaign to increase public
awareness and attraction to the facility. In addition to its many
unique amenities, Birdies has retained the services of a golf
professional. Birdies is expected to contribute an increasing portion
of the Company's income.

The Company finances its investments in real estate and contracts and
operates Birdies primarily through the sale of fixed rate debentures
with terms ranging from one to ten years, real estate notes or
mortgages, and a collateralized line-of-credit arrangement with a
local bank. The Company intends to continue using these funding
sources in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the years ended July 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company's net
income was approximately $472,000, $39,000 and $159,000, respectively.
Due to dividends and the accretion of the discount on the issuance of
preferred stock, the income (loss) applicable to common shareholders
was approximately $358,000, $(75,000) and $45,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996
and 1995, respectively.

Rental real estate activities have decreased due to sales of rental
properties. Total rental income has decreased from approximately
$2,832,000 in fiscal 1995 to $2,398,000 in fiscal 1997. Reduced rental
income could continue as a result from sales of some rental
properties.

The total interest income and amortization of discounts on acquired
real estate contracts and loans has continued to decline from
approximately $1,458,000 and $1,265,000 in fiscal 1995 and 1996,
respectively, to approximately $1,031,000 in fiscal 1997. This decline
corresponds directly with the decline in the Company's investment in
real estate contracts. The Company has curtailed its real estate
contract acquisition activities to concentrate its efforts in
renovating and leasing commercial office buildings and developing real
estate. Collections on real estate contracts have significantly
exceeded new acquisitions in each of the last three fiscal years.
These funds were used to remodel and develop existing real estate
projects and repay outstanding obligations.

Gains on the sale of real estate were approximately $1,611,000,
$486,000 and $585,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
Company anticipates that it will continue to recognize gains both on
the sale of real estate acquired through foreclosure and real estate
acquired for resale.

Sales of services and tangible products at Birdies were approximately
$344,000 in fiscal 1997 compared to $294,000 in its first year of
operations. Overall, the golf center recorded a loss from operations
of approximately $189,000 and $143,000 in fiscal 1997 and 1996,
respectively, primarily reflecting the initial start-up and staffing
costs. The Company anticipates that the margins from its golf center
will improve through increased sales and the non-recurrence of start-
up costs.

The expenses associated with rental operations have decreased to
approximately $2.1 million in fiscal 1997 from approximately $2.5
million in fiscal 1996 and 1995. The rental activities of the Company
are expected to continue to contribute significantly to its
profitability, but may be affected by sales of rental properties.

Interest expense, exclusive of interest on rental properties, net of
amounts capitalized, was approximately $1,188,000, $1,216,000 and
$1,263,000 in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The decline
in interest costs over the three-year period has been primarily as a
result of a decrease in outstanding borrowings.

Salaries and commissions have fluctuated modestly in absolute dollar
amounts for each of the last three fiscal years. The commencement of
the Birdies operation in early fiscal 1996 contributed to an increase
in the number of employees and related salaries and other general and
administrative costs. In addition, real estate taxes significantly
increased for Birdies and other properties.

The Company's effective income tax rate as a percentage of income
before federal income tax was 32% in fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At July 31, 1997, the Company had total stockholders' equity of
approximately $9,690,000 and a total liabilities to equity ratio of
2.27 to 1, which decreased from 2.43 to 1 a year before. In fiscal
1997, the Company's primary sources of funds were approximately $2.0
million from the sale of real estate, $2.5 million in real estate
contract collections, $447,000 from the sale of debentures and
$957,000 from net line-of-credit borrowings. The primary uses of funds
were approximately $1.4 million used for the acquisition and
improvements of real estate projects, $1.5 million used to acquire new
contracts and mortgage notes, $815,000 in repayment of maturing
debentures and approximately $2.0 million in repayment of outstanding
long-term debt. As a holder of monetary assets and liabilities, the
Company's performance may be significantly affected by changes in

interest rates. These changes are somewhat mitigated or delayed to the
extent that much of the Company's investment in real estate contracts,
and established real estate leases have fixed returns, as do the
Company's debentures. Additionally, the Company will be affected by
changes in the real estate market in Washington.

The Company anticipates that sales of debentures and the availability
of funds under its $8,000,000 line-of-credit arrangement, of which
only approximately $5,405,000 was outstanding at July 31, 1997, will
be sufficient to fund its short- and intermediate-term needs to retire
maturing debentures and mortgage obligations and continue development
of its real estate projects as demand warrants. The Company does not
anticipate any significant capital expenditurees during fiscal 1998.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors and Stockholders
Pacific Security Companies
Spokane, Washington


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Pacific Security Companies and subsidiaries as of July 31, 1997 and
1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended July 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Pacific Security Companies and subsidiaries as of July 31, 1997 and
1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for impaired loans in fiscal
1996.

PACIFIC SECURITY COMPANIES AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Pacific Security Companies and subsidiaries (the Company) is
incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington. The
Company is engaged in the business of owning, selling and leasing
real properties and in contract and loan financing,
collateralized by real estate. Most of the Company's real estate
activities are concentrated within the state of Washington.
Additionally, the Company completed construction and commenced
operations of a golf center during the year ended July 31, 1996.
The golf center, located in Spokane, Washington, serves as a
practice and teaching center and sells golf clubs and related
golf supplies.

A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Company is presented below:

CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aqua View
Apartments, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Henry George & Sons Co.,
Inc.(and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cooper George Company)
(Cooper George) was dissolved during the year ended July 31,
1996. Upon dissolution, all assets of Cooper George were
transferred to the Company for the redemption of the
outstanding common stock. Cooper George was included in the
accounts of the Company during the year ended July 31, 1995.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company deposits all cash and cash equivalents with high
quality financial institutions. At times, the deposits may
exceed the federal insured limit.

The Company considers highly liquid debt instruments, if any,
purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents.

CONTRACTS, MORTGAGES AND FINANCE NOTES RECEIVABLE

Contracts, mortgages and finance notes receivable are stated at
unpaid principal balance, plus accrued interest, less
acquisition discounts and an allowance for estimated
uncollectible amounts, as necessary. Management evaluates
receivables which may not be fully collectible to determine if
a provision for loss is necessary based on the present value of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
CONTINUED:

CONTRACTS, MORTGAGES AND FINANCE NOTES RECEIVABLE, CONTINUED

expected future cash flows from the receivables in the ordinary
course of business or from amounts recoverable through
foreclosures and the subsequent resale of the collateral, in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards(SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." The Company adopted this standard on
August 1, 1995, which did not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

Interest continues to be accrued on non-performing receivables
until such amount is not expected to be recovered.

DISCOUNTS ON CONTRACTS

The Company amortizes discounts on purchased contracts using
the level-yield method over the expected term of the contracts.

INVESTMENT IN RENTAL PROPERTIES

Rental properties, including land, buildings and improvements
and furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives as summarized below:

Years
-----
Buildings and improvements 15-40
Furniture and equipment 5-10

Upon sale or retirement of depreciable properties, the related
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any resultant gain or loss is reflected in operations.

INVESTMENT IN GOLF CENTER

The golf center, including land, building and improvements and
furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives as summarized below:

Years
-----
Buildings and improvements 15-40
Furniture and equipment 3-10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
CONTINUED:

INTEREST CAPITALIZATION

All costs associated with self-constructed assets (including
interest and real estate taxes) incurred during the
construction period are capitalized. Interest costs of
approximately $98,000, $205,000 and $204,000 were capitalized
in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE OR DEVELOPMENT

The Company acquires real estate through direct acquisition and
foreclosures and records these assets at the lower of fair
value less estimated costs to sell or cost. Losses on
properties held for sale or development are recognized if the
anticipated cash flows from disposition, less estimated selling
costs, are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the
related asset.

The Company evaluates its real estate assets for impairment in
value whenever events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. In
performing the review, if expected future undiscounted cash
flows from the use of the asset or the fair value, less selling
costs, from the disposition of the asset is less than its
carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company's investments, consisting of debt and equity
securities, are considered to be "available for sale" and,
therefore, are carried at market value. Realized gains and
losses on the sale of these securities are recognized on a
specific identification basis in the consolidated statement of
operations in the period the securities are sold. Unrealized
gains and losses are excluded from operations and reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity, net of related
income taxes, until realized.

RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS

Restricted investments in U.S. Treasury bonds are carried at
amortized cost. Premiums or discounts at acquisition are
amortized using the interest method over the remaining term of
the investment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
CONTINUED:

VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

Vehicles and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated
using the straight-line method over their estimated useful
lives of 4 to 5 and 5 to 10 years, respectively. Accumulated
depreciation associated with vehicles and equipment was
$191,547 and $207,505 at July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resultant
gain or loss is reflected in operations.

GOLF CENTER INVENTORIES

Golf center inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
estimated net realizable value using the first-in, first-out
method.

SALES OF REAL ESTATE

Receipts on sales of real estate investments are accounted for
as customer deposits until the principal payments received on
the sales contracts exceed the minimum guidelines for gain
recognition (see Note 4). Losses arising from sales of real
estate are recognized immediately upon sale.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future income tax consequences of events that have
been recognized in the financial statements. Under this method,
deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect in the years in which the temporary
differences are expected to reverse.

INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE

Income or loss per common share is based on net income or loss
after deducting preferred stock dividends and the accretion of
the discount on preferred stock divided by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year.

In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 128 , "Earnings Per Share," was issued. SFAS 128
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share (EPS) and simplifies the existing standards. This
standard replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
CONTINUED:

INCOME OR LOSS PER SHARE, CONTINUED

presentation of basic EPS. It also requires the dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of
the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted EPS computation. SFAS 128 is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December
15, 1997, including interim periods and requires restatement of
all prior-period EPS data presented. The Company does not
believe that the application of this standard will have a
material effect on the presentation of its earnings per share
disclosures.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was
issued. SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. This Statement requires that all items
required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. This Statement does not require a
specific format for the financial statement, but requires an
enterprise to display an amount representing total
comprehensive income for the period in the financial statement.
This Statement requires an enterprise to classify items of
other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial
statement and display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement
of financial position. This Statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has not
yet determined the financial statement effect of the
application of this Statement.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

CONTINUED:

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1996 balances have been reclassified to conform with
the 1997 presentation with no effect on net income or retained
earnings as previously reported.


2. RESTRICTED CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS:

At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company holds cash and cash
equivalents and investments which are restricted for the

3. CONTRACTS, MORTGAGES AND FINANCE NOTES RECEIVABLE:

At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the aging of amounts due on contracts,
mortgages and finance notes receivable was as follows:

1997 1996
----------- -----------

Current $11,049,018 $10,474,252
31 to 60 days 46,506 46,448
60 to 90 days 9,756 85,767
Over 90 days 49,525 102,771

Less unearned acquisition discounts (183,105) (216,294)
----------- -----------
$10,971,700 $10,492,944
=========== ===========

Substantially all of these receivables are collateralized by
land, commercial buildings and single and multi-family
residences. Interest rates on most loans are fixed and range from
5.25% and 14.25% at July 31, 1997 and 1996.

Management of the Company provides an allowance for losses based
upon estimates of the cash flows to be collected on the
receivable or the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of
selling costs. At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the fair value of the
underlying collateral, net of selling costs, is estimated to be
greater than the carrying value of the related receivables, and
thus, no allowance for loss has been provided. The receivables
are collateralized primarily by real estate located in the state
of Washington. These estimates can be affected by changes in the
economic environment in the state of Washington and the resultant
effect on real estate values. As a result of changing economic
conditions, it is reasonably possible that the amount of the
allowance for loan losses could change in the near term.

4. INVESTMENTS IN RENTAL PROPERTIES:

Following is a summary of investments in rental properties at
July 31, 1997 and 1996:

=========== ===========

The Company leases office space in certain of the above buildings
under operating leases. Most of the lease agreements contain
renewal options and escalation provisions associated with
inflation over the term of the lease. The following is a schedule
by years of minimum future rentals on noncancellable operating
leases as of July 31, 1997:

Year Ending
July 31,
-----------
1998 $ 1,328,645
1999 1,076,776

2001 624,481
2002 316,209
Thereafter 246,914
-----------
Total minimum future rentals $ 4,292,246
===========

These properties are primarily located in the greater Spokane,
Washington geographical area. Losses on investments in rental
properties are recognized if the anticipated cash flows from
operations or the sale of the rental property, net of selling
costs, are estimated to be less than the carrying value of the
related asset. These estimates can be affected by changes in the
economic environment of the Spokane, Washington area and the
resultant effect on the real estate rental and property values.
As a result of changing economic conditions, it is reasonably
possible that these estimates could change in the near term.

4. INVESTMENTS IN RENTAL PROPERTIES, CONTINUED:

At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the sales of certain rental property
and land were subject to sales contracts, but had not met the
criterion to be recorded as a sale. Therefore, the deposit method
of accounting for these sales was applied, resulting in
approximately $159,000 and $185,000 being classified as
investments in rental properties at July 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had deferred
gains of approximately $41,000 and $42,000, respectively,
associated with these sales which will be recognized when the
criterion for a sale is ultimately met.


5. INVESTMENT IN GOLF CENTER:

The Company completed construction of Birdies Golf Center
(Birdies), which features a 56-tee driving range, a fully
lighted, contoured fairway with 5 target greens, a pro shop,
teaching studios and an 8,000-square-foot putting green.

The following is a summary of the investment in the golf center
at July 31, 1997 and 1996:

The weighted average interest rate for outstanding debentures at
July 31, 1997 and 1996 was 8.06% and 8.01%, respectively.

The Securities Act of Washington contains specific statutory and
regulatory requirements concerning companies selling debentures
in the state of Washington. These regulations require maintenance
of minimum net worth and liquidity levels, define debenture terms
and maturity limitations, describe financial reporting
requirements and prohibit certain activities by controlling
persons of the issuer of debentures. Failure to comply with these
requirements may jeopardize a company's ability to issue
debentures.

In November 1996, the Company obtained its permit to offer
debentures for sale under the Securities Act of Washington. The
permit is subject to the following conditions:

(a) Outstanding debentures, including accrued interest, may not
exceed $10,488,910 at any time during the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

10. DEBENTURE BONDS, CONTINUED:

(b) Normal quarterly reports will be supplemented with the
following information:

-- Copies of the Company's Form 10-Q.

-- Calculations of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

-- Schedules showing the real estate sold, proceeds received
and use of the proceeds during the quarter.

-- Schedules showing the amounts of debentures sold to new
investors, old debentures retired and renewals.

-- A discussion of the efforts which have been made during
the quarter to transfer a receivable from Washington
Capital, Inc. (WCI), a related party (see Note 14), to an
unaffiliated entity.

The permit may be renewed for an additional one year upon its
expiration in November 1997. However, the Company's continued
ability to sell additional debentures is dependent upon its
compliance with the preceding conditions.

12. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK:

The 6% annual dividends on the Class A preferred stock are
cumulative. Dividends of $62,400 were declared on the preferred
stock during the years ended July 31, 1997 and 1996 and were paid
subsequent to each respective year end.

The Company has the right to redeem any shares after three years
from the date of issuance. During the year ended July 31, 1997,
the Company redeemed 1,000 shares of the preferred stock at par.
However, all shares are required to be redeemed by the Company
ten years after issuance at the par value plus accrued dividends
to date of redemption. Due to the mandatory ten-year redemption,
the discount on the issuance of the preferred stock is being
accreted using the interest method over the redemption period.
This accretion is recorded as an increase in the carrying value
of the preferred stock and as a charge against retained earnings.
The accretion of this discount was $52,000 in each of the years
ended July 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Each share of Class A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote on
each matter voted on at a stockholders' meeting. The preferred
stockholders have liquidation rights equal to the par value plus
accumulated and unpaid dividends. The liquidation preference of
the preferred stock was $1,002,400 and $1,102,400 at July 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

12. REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK, CONTINUED:

At July 31, 1997, preferred stock with a face value of $600,000
has been pledged as collateral for a contract receivable from WCI
(see Note 14).


13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the
value of each class of financial instrument for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. Potential income tax
ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and
losses that would be incurred in an actual sale and/or settlement
have not been taken into consideration.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Due to the nature of these
financial instruments, carrying value approximates fair value.

DEBENTURE BONDS, CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE AND INSTALLMENT CONTRACTS
PAYABLE - Fair values are determined using future cash flows
discounted at a rate of interest currently offered for debt or
receivables with similar remaining maturities and credit risks.
At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the carrying values of these
financial instruments approximated their fair values.

NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK - Fair value approximates the carrying
value because the loan bears variable interest rate.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS - Fair value
approximates the carrying value based on quoted market prices.

LIMITATIONS - The fair value estimates are made at a discrete
point in time based on relevant market information and
information about the financial instruments. Because no market
exists for many of these financial instruments, fair value
estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic
conditions and other factors. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the
estimates. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of what the Company could realize in a
current market exchange.

HERITAGE VILLAGE APARTMENT COMPLEX

On February 1, 1974, Wayne E. Guthrie and his wife, Constance
Guthrie, purchased the Heritage Village apartment complex
located in King County, Washington for $2,100,000 from Pacific
National Capital Company (which subsequently merged into
Pacific Security Companies). The purchase was partially seller-
financed by a real estate contract bearing interest at 8% in an
original amount of $2,060,000. This contract was assigned to
WCI in 1990 (see below). The balance owed on this contract was
$450,109 and $539,481 on July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The taxable gain on this sale was $932,348.

On August 1, 1976, Wayne E. Guthrie and Constance Guthrie sold
the Heritage Village apartment complex for $2,650,000 to
Security Savesco, Inc., which subsequently merged with Pacific
Security Companies in 1985 and had its name changed to Pacific
Security Companies.

On November 29, 1979, Security Savesco, Inc. sold the Heritage
Village apartment complex for $6,000,000 to a non-related
party. The sale was partially seller-financed by a real estate
contract bearing interest at 9% in an original amount of
$5,200,000. The balance owed on this contract was $3,088,320
and $3,388,641 on July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
taxable gain on this sale was $2,732,811. The balance owed was
paid in full in September 1997.

WASHINGTON CAPITAL, INC. (WCI)

In July 1990, certain contracts receivable from Company
officers, directors and stockholders were assigned by the
Company to WCI, a corporation whose sole stockholder was Wayne
E. Guthrie. In December 1991, Mr. Guthrie transferred his
ownership interest in WCI to his brother, who is now the sole
stockholder of WCI. Generally accepted accounting principles
include members of the immediate families of principal owners
or management as related parties.

The assignment of the contracts receivable from officers/
directors/stockholders of the Company was made at no gain or
loss as WCI executed installment notes payable to the Company
for the same principal amounts and interest rates as the
contracts assigned to WCI. In 1993, one of the contracts was
paid in full. At July 31, 1997 and 1996, the only significant
assets and liabilities of WCI were the contract receivable from
the officer/stockholder of the Company and the installment
contract payable to the Company.

In July 1994, Wayne E. Guthrie and/or WCI pledged $800,000 face
value of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock (see Note 12) to
guarantee performance and full payment of any account that he
or WCI may owe to the Company. In July 1997, as a result of the
redemption of preferred shares, the pledge was adjusted to
$600,000 face value of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock.

In the event the Company elects to redeem this preferred stock
at any time prior to 2002, the proceeds shall be applied to the
debt. Also, any dividends included therewith shall be applied
to accrued interest paid on the debt.

If the debt is not paid in full prior to July 5, 2002, the
Company shall become the owner of the preferred stock, and the
liquidation shall be at the Company's sole discretion with the
proceeds being applied to the debt along with accrued dividends
that may be declared.

The contract receivable by the Company from WCI had balances
outstanding of $450,109 and $539,481 at July 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. This contract is repayable in $15,000 monthly
installments and bears interest at 8% per annum.

WASHINGTON CAPITAL, INC. (WCI), CONTINUED

The Securities Act of Washington prohibits a debenture
company's officers, directors or controlling persons from
directly or indirectly borrowing funds from a debenture company
or from indirectly or directly owning real property upon which
the debenture company holds a mortgage, deed of trust or
property contract. The Securities Division takes the position
that the holding of these receivables, whether by the Company
or WCI, violates this provision of the Securities Act. The
Company has agreed to work with WCI to move these receivables
to a party which may legally hold them subject to such
restrictions (see Notes 10 and 12).

SALE OF REAL ESTATE

On December 1, 1979, Pacific Security Companies sold land and a
mini-warehouse business to Security Savesco, Inc., an equity
method investee. Security Savesco, Inc. merged with Pacific
Security Companies in 1985 and had its name changed to Pacific
Security Companies. The gain on the sale of the property was
$727,703. The gain, net of $220,000 of income taxes, was
deferred for financial statement purposes until the property
was sold to an unrelated entity. During the year ended July 31,
1997, the property was sold and the net deferred gain of
$507,703 was recognized in the statement of operations.


15. COMMON STOCK:

On October 31, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company
proposed the creation of a second class of common stock, Class
B common stock. This proposed action was ratified by the
stockholders of the Company on December 12, 1995, at which time
an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation was approved.
This class has authorized 30,000, no par value shares and
entitles the holder to 50 votes on each matter in all
proceedings in which actions are taken by the stockholders,
including the election of directors. Otherwise, the common
stock is identical to the original class in all respects and
for all purposes.

A suit filed in Superior Court of the State of Washington,
Spokane County, by Robert Guthrie has delayed the issuance of
Class B common stock. A trial date has been set for January
1998.
