          All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date hereof

          Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement
contained herein, or in any other subsequently filed document which also is

           4.1       Olympic Cascade Financial Corporation 2000 Stock Option
                     Plan

           5.1       Opinion of D'Ancona & Pflaum LLC dated May __, 2000
                     regarding the legality of shares of Common Stock being
                     registered.

           23.1      Consent of Feldman Sherb Horowitz & Co., P.C.

           23.2      Consent of Moss Adams LLP

           23.3      Consent of D'Ancona & Pflaum LLC (included in Exhibit 5.1).

Item 9.  Undertakings.

                The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes, except as
otherwise specifically provided in the rules of the Commission promulgated under
the Act:

(a)(1)          to file during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(a)(1)(i)       to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act;

(a)(1)(ii)      to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represents a fundamental change in the information set forth 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;

(a)(1)(iii)       to include any additional or changed material information in
the Plan not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(a)(1)(iii)(2)  to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration
                statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the
                securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
                fide offering, for determining liability under the Act; and

(a)(1)(iii)(3)  to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
                any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
                offering.

(b)             that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act,
                each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
                section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
                incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
                relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering
                of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
                initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)             Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
                persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced
                in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the
                Registration has been advised that in the opinion of the
                Commission, such is against public policy as expressed in the
                Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
                for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
                payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
                director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
                successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
                asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
                connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
                will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
                settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
                appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
                indemnification by it is against the public policy expressed in
                the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
                issue.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

                The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes, except as
otherwise specifically provided in the rules of the Commission promulgated under
the Act:

(a)(1)          to file during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(a)(1)(i)       to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Act;

(a)(1)(ii)      to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represents a fundamental change in the information set forth 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;

(a)(1)(iii)       to include any additional or changed material information in
the Plan not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(a)(1)(iii)(2)  to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration
                statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the
                securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
                fide offering, for determining liability under the Act; and

(a)(1)(iii)(3)  to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration
                any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
                offering.

(b)             that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act,
                each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
                section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is
                incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
                relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering
                of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
                initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)             Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
                Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
                persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions referenced
                in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the
                Registration has been advised that in the opinion of the
                Commission, such is against public policy as expressed in the
                Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
                for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
                payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
                director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
                successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
                asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
                connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant
                will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
                settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
                appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
                indemnification by it is against the public policy expressed in
                the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
                issue.
