     SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION  v. TRUSTCAP FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.,
     MATRIX INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC., SECURITY FINANCIAL, INC., AND MATRIX
     CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC., Civil Action No. 1:97CV00513 (D.D.C.).  

     Litigation Release No. 15436 / August 7, 1997

          The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that, on August
     6, 1997, the Honorable Thomas A. Flannery, Senior United States District
     Judge, issued an order approving an interim distribution of funds to
     investors who had invested funds with two investment advisers:  Matrix
     Investment Advisors, Inc. (Matrix) and Security Financial, Inc. (SFI).  The
     Commission filed its complaint in this matter on March 13, 1997, alleging
     violations of the books and records provisions of the Investment Advisers
     Act of 1940, against Matrix; SFI; their holding company, Trustcap Financial
     Group, Inc.; and its recordkeeping subsidiary, Matrix Capital Management,
     Inc.  The Court appointed a Special Agent on March 14, 1997 to, among other
     things, establish and implement a plan to return investor funds to Matrix's
     and SFI's clients.

          The Special Agent has identified approximately $11.2 million in funds
     available for distribution to Matrix and SFI investors.  The Court's order
     and the Special Agent's interim distribution plan call for the Special
     Agent to distribute a total of approximately $5 million to Matrix and SFI
     investors at this time.  With this interim distribution, and taking into
     account any prior withdrawals, each investor will have received at least
     fifty percent of the money he deposited with Matrix or SFI.  Once the
     Special Agent is reasonably assured that all investor funds have been
     properly accounted-for, he intends to propose a plan of distribution for
     the remaining funds.  The final distribution plan will be submitted to the
     Court for approval, with notice to all investors.
      
          The Commission's investigation of other potential violations of the
     federal securities laws, by the defendants and other persons or entities,
     in connection with this matter is continuing.  See also Litigation Release
     No. 15297, dated March 17, 1997.
