                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
     Simultaneously with the closing of the offering made by this Prospectus
(the "Offering"), UniCapital Corporation will acquire, in separate transactions
(the "Mergers"), a number of equipment leasing and related businesses
(collectively, the "Founding Companies"). See "Formation of the Company." Unless
otherwise indicated, all references to the "Company" include the Founding
Companies after the effectiveness of the Mergers, and references to "UniCapital"
mean UniCapital Corporation prior to the effectiveness of the Mergers.
References to the "stockholders" include the stockholders and equity partners of
the Founding Companies. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by,
and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and the
financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, all share, per share and financial
information set forth herein (i) has been adjusted to give effect to the Mergers
and (ii) assumes no exercise of the U.S. Underwriters' over-allotment option.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
     UniCapital was founded in October 1997 to create a national consolidator
and operator of equipment leasing and specialty finance businesses serving the
commercial market. Upon consummation of the Mergers, the Company, through the
Founding Companies, will originate, acquire, sell and service equipment leases
and arrange structured financings in the computer and telecommunications
equipment, large ticket and structured finance, middle market and small ticket
areas of the equipment leasing industry. In addition, one of the Founding
Companies will provide lease administration and processing services for certain
of the leases originated by the Founding Companies, as well as for any
securitizations undertaken by the Company. The Founding Companies' leases and
structured financing arrangements cover a broad range of equipment, including
aircraft, computer and telecommunications equipment, construction and
manufacturing equipment, office equipment, trucks, printing equipment, car
washes and petroleum retail equipment and vending machines. The Company will
fund the acquisition or origination of its leases through warehouse credit
facilities or through recourse or non-recourse financing and will retain the
leases for its own account or sell the leases to third parties. The Company
intends to sell certain of its lease receivables in the public and private
markets through a securitization program. For the year ended December 31, 1997
and the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had pro forma combined
direct financing and sales-type lease originations of approximately $581.4
million and $154.7 million, respectively, pro forma combined income from
operations of $38.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and pro forma
combined net income before extraordinary item of $22.0 million and $8.3 million,
respectively.
 
     The Company's senior management team collectively has more than 70 years of
experience in the acquisition and integration of businesses, lease financing,
securitizations and other structured finance transactions. Robert New, the
Company's co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, previously served as
an operating company president of and an Acquisition Consultant to U.S. Office
Products Company, where he participated in over 40 acquisitions. Theodore J.
Rogenski, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, has served as a senior
executive with three national leasing companies, including LINC Anthem
Corporation and its successor, Newcourt LINC Financial, Inc., and Wells Fargo
Leasing Corporation, where he served for ten years as the President and Chief
Executive Officer. Bruce E. Kropschot, the Company's Vice Chairman -- Mergers
and Acquisitions, founded and operated a private mergers and acquisitions
advisory firm which has arranged the sale of over 100 equipment leasing and
specialty finance businesses. Steven E. Hirsch, the Company's Executive Vice
President -- Structured Finance, was the Head of the Leasing Products Group at
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, where he was involved in arranging over $30
billion of transactions in structured lease financings, mergers and acquisitions
of leasing companies and securitizations.
 
     The equipment leasing and financing industry in the United States has grown
consistently during the last decade and includes a wide range of entities that
provide funding for the purchase or use of equipment. The equipment leasing
industry in the United States is a significant factor in financing capital
expenditures of businesses. The Equipment Leasing Association (the "ELA")
projects that $183 billion of $593 billion invested in equipment in 1998 will be
financed by means of leasing. According to ELA estimates, from 1996 to 1997,
equipment placed on lease grew by approximately $10 billion from $170 billion to
an estimated $180 billion. The
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   5
 
1996 investment in equipment placed on lease represents an increase of
approximately 90% from comparable 1986 data. The ELA estimates that 80% of all
U.S. businesses currently use leasing or financing to acquire capital assets.
The Company believes that leasing helps businesses to acquire capital equipment
more efficiently, receive favorable tax and accounting treatment and avoid or
mitigate the perceived risks of equipment ownership including obsolescence.
 
STRATEGY
 
     The Company's goal is to become a leading consolidator and operator of
equipment leasing and speciality finance businesses. Key elements of the
Company's strategy include:
 
     PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS.  The Company intends to capitalize upon
consolidation opportunities in the U.S. equipment leasing industry by pursuing
selective acquisitions. The Company will focus upon opportunities that
complement its existing equipment leasing and commercial specialty finance
businesses as well as opportunities that facilitate entry into new market
segments. The Company's senior management team has significant experience in the
acquisition and integration of businesses, including leasing companies, and
Jonathan J. Ledecky, the Company's co-founder and a director, has considerable
experience consolidating private businesses into publicly-held entities. Mr.
Ledecky has founded or co-founded three publicly-held companies, U.S. Office
Products Company, U.S.A. Floral Products, Inc. and Consolidation Capital
Corporation, each of which has implemented a consolidation strategy.
 
     PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO CAPITAL AT LOWER COST.  The Company believes
that, due to its pro forma combined lease originations, the diversification of
its portfolio and the experience of its senior management team, it will be able
to provide increased sources of capital at a lower cost to the Founding
Companies. The Company expects to benefit from increased access to capital from
both public and private sources by utilizing traditional credit facilities and
accessing public and private capital through securitizations. The Company
believes that the effective interest rate obtained on borrowings by the Founding
Companies individually is higher than the interest rate that could be obtained
by an entity with the aggregate size of the Company. In addition to the
anticipated ability to lower the Founding Companies' cost of funds, the Company
believes that increased access to capital will allow the Founding Companies to
generate an increased volume of lease originations and develop new lease product
offerings.
 
     ACHIEVE OPERATING EFFICIENCIES.  The Company believes that it will be able
to increase the operating efficiency of and achieve certain synergies among the
Founding Companies as well as any subsequently acquired businesses. For example,
one of the Founding Companies, Portfolio Financial Servicing Company, L.P.
("PFSC"), provides servicing and administration for equipment lease and loan
portfolios. After the Mergers, the Company intends to transfer to PFSC, where
appropriate, certain servicing functions currently performed by the Founding
Companies. The Company will also seek to combine certain other administrative
functions, such as accounting and finance, treasury, insurance, employee
benefits, strategic marketing and legal support, at the corporate level, and to
institute a Company-wide management information system. The Company believes the
integration of these functions will enable the Founding Companies to focus on
their core business of lease origination as well as enable the Company to
operate in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.
 
     EXPAND PRODUCTS AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES.  The Company believes that the
diversity among the Founding Companies within the equipment leasing industry,
together with the size and geographic breadth of the Company, can create
significant opportunities to increase the volume and type of lease products and
service offerings. The Company plans to expand existing programs, such as
equipment vendor and manufacturer programs, pursue cross-selling opportunities
among the Founding Companies and any subsequently acquired entities, and develop
new products and service offerings. The Company believes potential opportunities
include national expansion of products currently offered by certain of the
Founding Companies on a local or regional basis and leveraging the expertise of
certain of the Founding Companies to enhance the Company's customer service and
off-lease asset remarketing capabilities. In addition, the Company intends to
market products and services under the name UniCapital to establish name
recognition and create a brand image while maintaining the identity and
associated goodwill of each of the Founding Companies.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   6
 
     OPERATE WITH DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT.  The Company plans to conduct its
operations using a decentralized management approach through which individual
management teams, consisting primarily of current executive officers of the
Founding Companies, will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
Founding Companies as well as for helping to identify additional acquisition
candidates in their respective markets. At the same time, a Company-wide team of
senior management will provide the Founding Companies with strategic oversight
and guidance with respect to acquisitions, credit, financing, marketing and
operations. As part of this strategy, the Company intends to foster a culture of
cooperation and teamwork that emphasizes dissemination of "best practices" among
its local management teams. The Company believes stock ownership and incentive
compensation will help to align the objectives of local management with those of
the Company, and that a decentralized management philosophy will result in
better customer service by allowing local management the flexibility to
implement policies and make decisions based on the needs of local customers.
 
THE FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
     The Founding Companies will be acquired contemporaneously with the
consummation of the Offering with a portion of the proceeds therefrom. The
following descriptions of each of the Founding Companies are categorized
according to the primary markets which each Founding Company serves.
 
     COMPUTER AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT LEASING. Computer and
telecommunications equipment leasing includes lease financing for mainframe,
mid-range and personal computers, workstations, servers, telephone systems,
switches, networks, peripherals and related high-technology equipment. Companies
that specialize in computer and telecommunications equipment leasing must
understand customer usage patterns and equipment residual values, including
technological obsolescence issues.
 
          JACOM COMPUTER SERVICES, INC. ("JACOM").  Founded in 1975, Jacom
     provides lease financing for computer and telecommunications equipment to
     large and middle market companies, including financial institutions,
     throughout the United States. Leases originated by Jacom generally have an
     average transaction size of approximately $81,000 and an average term of 36
     months. Jacom funds purchases of the equipment underlying its leases
     through borrowings and holds the leases for its own account or sells the
     future lease payments to financial institutions. For the twelve months
     ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, Jacom
     originated or acquired approximately $64.0 million and $26.8 million,
     respectively, in direct financing and sales-type leases. At December 31,
     1997 and at March 31, 1998, the carrying value of equipment under operating
     leases was $13.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Jacom employs 49
     persons and maintains an office in Northvale, New Jersey.
 
          VARILEASE CORPORATION ("VARILEASE").  Founded in 1987, Varilease
     provides lease financing for computer and telecommunications equipment to
     Fortune 1000 companies and other businesses throughout the United States.
     Upon origination of a lease, Varilease either sells the lease on a
     non-recourse basis or retains the lease for its portfolio. Leases
     originated by Varilease generally have an average transaction size of
     approximately $600,000 and an average term of 36 months. For the twelve
     months ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998,
     Varilease originated or acquired $195.6 million and $40.8 million,
     respectively, in direct financing and sales-type leases. At December 31,
     1997 and at March 31, 1998, the carrying value of equipment under operating
     leases was $22.5 million and $19.4 million, respectively. Varilease employs
     79 persons and maintains 14 offices in the United States, including its
     headquarters in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and one office in Canada.
 
     LARGE TICKET LEASING AND STRUCTURED FINANCING.  Large ticket leases are
typically for equipment with a purchase price in excess of $5.0 million, such as
aircraft, satellites, rail and other transportation equipment. Large ticket
leasing is characterized by fewer transactions involving greater amounts of
capital and lessees that require tailored structures and solutions to meet
particular needs.
 
          CAUFF, LIPPMAN AVIATION, INC. ("CAUFF LIPPMAN").  Founded in 1981,
     Cauff Lippman provides operating lease financing for used commercial jet

     Cauff Lippman employs nine persons and maintains an office in Miami,
     Florida.

     / mental retardation facilities and correctional facilities. MCMG is a
     registered broker-dealer and places the bonds and leases that it arranges
     primarily with institutional investors. Substantially all of MCMG's revenue
     is derived from underwriting and advisory income. For the year ended
     December 31, 1997, MCMG arranged approximately $155.3 million in municipal
     leases and bonds for 40 lessees and borrowers. No municipal lease or bond
     transactions were consummated during the three months ended March 31, 1998.

     aircraft for its own account. NSJ also engages in remarketing activities on

     portfolio. Leases originated by NSJ have an initial term of 36 to 84
     months. At December 31, 1997 and at March 31, 1998, the carrying value of
     equipment under operating leases was $23.8 million and $23.4 million,
     respectively. NSJ employs seven persons and maintains an office in Orlando,
     Florida.
 
     MIDDLE MARKET LEASING. Middle market leases generally include those leases
for equipment with a purchase price ranging from $250,000 to $5.0 million, such
as construction and manufacturing equipment. Middle market leasing is
characterized by lessees that are sensitive to both price and customer service
issues.
 
          AMERICAN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC. ("AMERICAN CAPITAL").  Founded in
     1979, American Capital provides lease and secured financing for equipment,
     primarily printing presses, to companies in the printing, packaging and

     which PFSC was the primary servicer. PFSC derives its revenue from
     servicing fees, including set-up, monthly and conversion fees. For the year
     ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998, PFSC had
     total revenues of approximately $1.5 million and $0.4 million,

     negotiate a possible sale by UniCapital of all or a portion of PFSC's
     existing business of servicing the portfolios of leasing companies other
     than affiliates of UniCapital. No definitive agreement to sell such
     business has been reached, nor have any of the material terms of such
     agreement been determined. UniCapital believes that any such sale would not
     adversely affect PFSC's capacity to service leases of the Founding
     Companies or of any other entities that may hereafter be acquired by the
     Company.

                                  THE MERGERS
 
     Simultaneously with, and as a condition to, the closing of the Offering,
UniCapital will consummate the Mergers pursuant to agreements that it has
entered into with the Founding Companies and their stockholders and partners
(the "Merger Agreements"). The aggregate consideration to be paid by the Company
upon consummation of the Mergers will be approximately $584.9 million,
consisting of 13,334,064 shares of Common Stock with an estimated fair value of
$253.3 million and $331.6 million in cash. In addition, pursuant to earn-out
arrangements provided for in the Merger Agreements, the Company may make
additional payments to the stockholders of the Founding Companies (other than
PFSC), in cash and Common Stock, based upon the adjusted pre-tax income of the
Founding Companies for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 (and, in the
case of Boulder, Cauff Lippman and NSJ, also for the year ended December 31,
2000). In addition, the Company will repay indebtedness of Jacom totaling $32.3
million incurred to fund an S Corporation distribution to the stockholder of
Jacom immediately prior to the Jacom Merger, indebtedness of Merrimac totaling
$2.8 million assumed in the Merrimac Merger and approximately $110.0 million of
certain recourse indebtedness of the Founding Companies to be assumed by the
Company in the Mergers. Following the consummation of the Mergers, the aggregate
indebtedness of the Company will include the debt of the Founding Companies
which, as of March 31, 1998, was approximately $339.6 million. The consummation
of each Merger is contingent upon the consummation of the Offering and customary
closing conditions. The Merger Agreements contain covenants not to compete
(subject to certain exceptions) and require certain of the executive officers of
each of the Founding Companies to enter into Employment Agreements with their
respective Founding Companies and, in certain cases, UniCapital, effective upon
consummation of the Mergers. See "Formation of the Company," "Use of Proceeds,"
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Financial Condition and Pro
Forma Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources,"
"Management -- Employment Agreements," "Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions," "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" and the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Financial Statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Prospectus.

                   SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     UniCapital was established in October 1997 and will acquire the Founding
Companies simultaneously with and as a condition to the consummation of the
Offering. For financial statement presentation purposes, UniCapital has been
identified as the "accounting acquiror." The following unaudited summary pro
forma combined financial data present data for the Company, adjusted to give
effect to (i) the consummation of the Mergers, (ii) certain pro forma
adjustments to the historical financial statements described below and (iii) the
consummation of the Offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom.
The summary pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of operating results
or the financial position that would have been achieved had the events described
above been consummated and should not be construed as representative of future
operating results or financial position. The summary pro forma combined
financial data should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Financial Statements and the notes thereto and the historical financial
statements of the Founding Companies and the notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The Company anticipates that, subsequent to the Mergers, it
will realize savings from the combination of functions such as accounting and
finance, treasury, insurance, employee benefits, strategic marketing and legal
support at the corporate level. However, these savings cannot be quantified or
reasonably estimated and therefore have not been included in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Financial Statements.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     An investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby involves a high
degree of risk. Prospective investors should consider carefully the following
risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
in evaluating an investment in the shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
 
ABSENCE OF COMBINED OPERATING HISTORY
 
     UniCapital was founded in October 1997 and has conducted no operations to
date. UniCapital has entered into agreements to acquire the Founding Companies
simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. The Founding Companies
have been operating independently and the Company may not be able to integrate
these businesses successfully on an economic basis. Until the Company
establishes centralized accounting, finance and other administrative systems, it
will rely upon the separate systems of the Founding Companies. The success of
the Company will depend, in part, upon the Company's ability to centralize these
functions effectively and otherwise integrate the Founding Companies and any
additional businesses the Company may acquire. The Company's management group
has been assembled only recently and the management control structure is still
in its formative stages. Management may not be able to oversee the combined
entity effectively or to implement effectively the Company's operating
strategies. Any failure by the Company to do so could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The pro forma combined financial results of UniCapital and the Founding
Companies cover periods when UniCapital and the Founding Companies were not
under common control or management and may not be indicative of the Company's
future financial or operating results. See "Formation of the Company," "Business
- -- The Founding Companies" and "Management."
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITION STRATEGY
 
     The Company intends to grow significantly through the acquisition of
equipment leasing and specialty finance businesses. This strategy will entail
reviewing and potentially reorganizing acquired business operations, corporate
infrastructure and systems and financial controls. Unforeseen expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with
the rapid expansion of operations could inhibit the Company's growth. The
Company may be unable to maintain or accelerate its growth or anticipate all of
the changing demands that expanding operations will impose on its management
personnel, operational and management information systems, and financial
systems. The Company may not be able to identify, acquire or manage profitably
additional businesses or to integrate successfully any acquired businesses into
the Company without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial
difficulties. Any failure by the Company to do so could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
See "Business -- Strategy."
 
RISKS RELATED TO ACQUISITION FINANCING
 
     A significant portion of the Company's resources may be used for
acquisitions. The timing, size and success, if at all, of the Company's
acquisition efforts and any associated capital commitments cannot be readily
predicted. The Company currently intends to finance future acquisitions by using
shares of its Common Stock, cash or a combination of Common Stock and cash. If
the Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient market value, or if potential
acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept Common Stock as part or
all of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, the Company may be
required to utilize more of its cash resources, if available, in order to
initiate and maintain its acquisition program. Upon consummation of the
Offering, the Company will have approximately $15.4 million of net proceeds
which may be used for future acquisitions after payment of the cash portion of
the purchase price for the Founding Companies, repayment of certain indebtedness
and payment of the expenses of the Offering. If the Company does not have
sufficient cash resources, its growth could be limited unless it is able to
obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. The Company may be
unable to obtain additional financing on favorable terms, if at all. Any failure
by the Company to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Use of Proceeds"
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Financial Condition and
Pro Forma Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

<PAGE>   14
 
RISKS RELATED TO INTERNAL GROWTH AND OPERATING STRATEGIES
 
     A key element of the Company's business strategy is to improve the
profitability of the Founding Companies and any subsequently acquired
businesses. The Company's ability to improve profitability will be affected by
various factors, including the Company's cost of, and ability to obtain,
capital, the Company's ability to achieve operating efficiencies, the level of
continued demand by businesses for lease financing, the Company's ability to
expand the range of products and services that it offers and the Company's
ability to enter new markets successfully. Many of these factors are beyond the
control of the Company, and the Company's strategies may not be successful or
the Company may be unable to generate cash flow adequate for its operations and
to support internal growth. A key component of the Company's strategy is to
operate on a decentralized basis, with local management retaining responsibility
for day-to-day operations, profitability and the growth of the business. In
addition, the Founding Companies are operating with management, sales and
support personnel that may be insufficient to support growth in their respective
businesses without significant central oversight and coordination. The loss of
the services of any such personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. If proper
overall business controls are not implemented, the Company's decentralized
operating strategy could result in inconsistent operating and financial
practices at the Founding Companies and subsequently acquired businesses, which
could materially and adversely affect the Company's overall profitability, and
ultimately its business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Business -- Strategy."
 
DEPENDENCE ON SECURITIZATION TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company intends to sell a significant portion of the equipment leases
that it acquires and originates through the issuance of securities backed by
such leases in securitization transactions or through other structured finance
products. In a securitization transaction, the Company sells and transfers a
pool of leases to one or more wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries of the
Company. The special purpose subsidiary, either directly or through a trust,
issues beneficial interests in the leases in the form of senior and subordinated
securities and sells such securities through public offerings and private
placement transactions.
 
     The Company anticipates that it will utilize securitizations for
refinancing of amounts outstanding under its warehouse loan facilities. Several
factors will affect the Company's ability to complete securitizations, including
conditions in the securities markets generally, conditions in the asset-backed
securities markets, the credit quality and performance of the Company's lease
portfolio, compliance of the Company's leases with the eligibility requirements
established in connection with the securitizations, the Company's ability to
obtain third-party credit enhancement, the ability of the Company to service
adequately its lease portfolio and the absence of any material downgrading or
withdrawal of ratings given to securities previously issued in the Company's
securitizations. Any substantial reduction in the availability of the
securitization market for the Company's leases or any adverse change in the
terms of such securitizations could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
ABILITY TO SUSTAIN INCREASING VOLUME OF RECEIVABLES
 
     The Company's ability to sustain continued growth is dependent on its
capacity to attract, evaluate, finance and service increasing volumes of leases
of suitable yield and credit quality. Accomplishing this on a cost-effective
basis is largely a function of the Company's ability to market its products
effectively, to manage the credit evaluation process to assure adequate
portfolio quality, to provide competent, attentive and efficient servicing, and
to maintain access to institutional financing sources to achieve an acceptable
cost of funds for its financing programs. Any failure by the Company to market
its products effectively, to maintain its portfolio quality, to service its
leases effectively or to obtain institutional financing at reasonable rates
would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Pro Forma Financial Condition and Pro Forma Results of Operations --
Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Business -- Credit and Collection Policies
and Procedures" and "Business -- Servicing, Collection and Administration."
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   15
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
 
     The Company anticipates that it will fund the majority of the leases that
it originates or acquires through loan facilities; currently, such facilities
are only in place at certain of the individual Founding Companies, with no such
facility in place at the Company-wide level. The Company has obtained a
commitment letter for, and is negotiating toward definitive agreements for, a
bank credit facility, which includes a loan facility to fund leases, to be
entered into upon or after consummation of the Offering; however, there can be
no assurance that the bank credit facility will ultimately be obtained. The
failure of the Company to obtain a loan facility on terms acceptable to the
Company will, and the failure to gain an increase or a renewal of any such
facility once obtained could, have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. If the terms of the
Company's loan facilities or the structure of its securitization transactions
are not appropriate in light of future market conditions, then the Company may
require additional capital to fund its operations. The Company also may require
additional capital to finance future acquisitions. No such additional capital
may be available, or if available such additional capital may not be provided on
terms acceptable to the Company. The failure to obtain such additional capital
when, as and if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. See "-- Risks Related
to Acquisition Financing" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma
Financial Condition and Pro Forma Combined Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
 
INTEREST RATE RISKS
 
     The Company's profitability is determined in part by the difference between
the Company's cost of funds and the yield obtained by the Company on its leases.
Leases underwritten by the Company generally are non-cancelable and require
payments to be made by the lessee for specified terms at fixed rates based on
interest rates prevailing in the market at the time the lease is approved. Until
the Company sells or securitizes the leases, the Company generally funds such
leases under warehouse loan facilities or from working capital. Should the
Company be unable to sell or securitize leases with fixed rates within a
reasonable period of time after funding, the Company's operating margins could
be adversely affected by any increase in interest rates. Moreover, increases in
interest rates which cause the Company to raise the implicit rate charged to its
customers could cause a reduction in demand for the Company's lease funding. The
Company may undertake to hedge against the risk of interest rate increases,
based on the size of its equipment lease portfolio. Such hedging activities
would limit the Company's ability to participate in the benefits of lower
interest rates with respect to the hedged portfolio of leases. In addition, the
Company's hedging activities may not protect it from interest rate-related risks
in all interest rate environments. Adverse developments resulting from changes
in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Financial Condition and Pro
Forma Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
DEPENDENCE ON CREDITWORTHINESS OF LESSEES
 
     The Company acquires and originates equipment leases with a wide range of
purchase prices, many of which involve small and mid-size commercial businesses
located throughout the United States, or large cyclical businesses such as
airlines with operations in different regions around the world. Small business
leases and leases with highly cyclical businesses generally entail a greater
risk of non-performance and higher delinquencies and losses than do leases
entered into with larger, more creditworthy lessees or lessees in less cyclical
businesses. The failure of the Company's lessees to comply with the terms of
their leases will result in the inability of such leases to qualify to serve as
collateral under the Company's warehouse facilities and securitization programs
and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity. Additionally,
delinquencies and defaults experienced in excess of levels estimated by
management in determining the Company's allowance for credit losses could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to obtain financing and effect
securitization transactions which may, in turn, have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Financial Condition and Pro
Forma Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   16
 
RISK OF ECONOMIC DOWNTURN
 
     An economic downturn could result in a decline in the demand for some of
the types of equipment which the Company finances, which could lead to a decline
in originations of leases. Such a downturn could also adversely affect the
Company's ability to obtain capital to fund lease originations or to complete
securitizations. In addition, such a downturn could result in an increase in
delinquencies and defaults by lessees, which could have an adverse effect on the
Company's revenues as well as on its ability to sell or securitize leases.
Moreover, an economic downturn, either generally or within a specific industry,
could have a material adverse effect on the value of the equipment underlying
the leases, which could in turn affect the Company's ability to realize its
residual interest in such equipment. These results could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
     The Company could experience fluctuations in quarterly operating results
due to a number of factors including, among others, the completion of a
securitization transaction in a particular calendar quarter (or the failure to
complete such a securitization transaction) and the interest rates on the
securities issued in connection with its securitization transactions, variations
in the volume of leases originated by the Company, differences between the
Company's cost of funds and the average implicit yield to the Company on its
leases prior to being securitized, the effectiveness of the Company's hedging
strategy, the degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets
and general economic conditions. In addition, certain of the Founding Companies,
particularly those engaged in the lease and sale of aircraft, may experience
significant fluctuations due to the timing of sales of aircraft. Moreover, some
of the Founding Companies may from time to time experience relatively large
transactions for one or a few customers, which may not recur or may not be
followed by correspondingly large transactions for other customers in subsequent
periods. As a result of these fluctuations and the significant impact that the
timing of any securitization transactions may have on the Company's results of
operations, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being
indicative of performance in future quarters. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Pro Forma Financial Condition and Pro Forma Results of Operations."
 
COMPETITION
 
     The business of financing equipment is highly competitive. The Company
competes for customers with a number of national, regional and local equipment
leasing and finance companies. In addition, the Company's competitors include
those equipment manufacturers that finance the sale or lease of their products
themselves and other traditional types of financial services companies, such as
commercial banks and savings and loan associations, all of which provide
financing for the purchase of equipment. Many of the Company's competitors and
potential competitors possess substantially greater financial, marketing and
operational resources than the Company. The Company's competitors and potential
competitors include larger, more established companies which may have a lower
cost of funds than the Company and access to capital markets and to other
funding sources which may be unavailable to the Company. See "Business --
Competition."
 
RESIDUAL VALUE RISK
 
     The Company retains a residual interest in the equipment covered by certain
of its leases. The estimated fair market value of the equipment at the end of
the contract term of the lease, if any, is reflected as an asset on the
Company's balance sheet. The Company's results of operations depend, to some
degree, upon its ability to realize such residual value. Realization of residual
values depends on many factors, several of which are not within the Company's
control, including general market conditions at the time of expiration of the
lease, whether there has been unusual wear and tear on, or use of, the
equipment, the cost of comparable new equipment, the extent, if any, to which
the equipment has become technologically or economically obsolete during the
contract term and the effects of any additional or amended government
regulations. If, upon the expiration of a lease, the Company sells the
underlying equipment and the amount realized is less than the recorded value of
the residual interest in such equipment, a loss reflecting the difference will
be recognized. Any failure by the Company to realize aggregate recorded residual
values could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and
results of

                                       16
<PAGE>   17
 
operations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Financial
Condition and Pro Forma Results of Operations" and "Business -- Residual
Interest in Equipment."
 
RISKS OF YEAR 2000 NONCOMPLIANCE
 
     Computer programs that are "Year 2000 noncompliant" are incapable, in whole
or in part, of processing date data between periods before and periods after
January 1, 2000. Certain of the Founding Companies' computer programs are
currently partially year 2000 noncompliant. In particular, PFSC, a lease
portfolio servicing business and one of the Founding Companies, presently has
computer systems which do not interpret properly date data for the year 2000 and
beyond. PFSC has contracted with a consultant to modify its systems to interpret
properly date data, and PFSC and UniCapital expect to complete programs to
render all of the Company's computer systems year 2000 compliant by the end of
calendar 1998. The costs of such programs are not expected to be material, but
there can be no assurance that such conversion programs will be successful at
the expected cost or by the currently engaged vendors. The inability of
UniCapital's or the Founding Companies' computer systems to accept, store,
interpret or display dates for the year 2000 and beyond could materially impair
the ability of the Company to originate, service and sell leases. In addition,
the Company utilizes in its internal operations a number of computer software
programs, including programs used to manage the Company's financial and
accounting functions as well as in the Company's sales and marketing activities.
The inability of such programs to interpret properly date data for the year 2000
and beyond could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
Failure by the Company to identify a year 2000 problem in its software products
or in any software program used in its operations could require modification or
replacement of such software.
 
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
     Approximately $470.2 million, or 40.0%, of the Company's pro forma total
assets as of March 31, 1998, after giving effect to the Offering, consists of
goodwill arising from the acquisitions of the Founding Companies. Goodwill is an
intangible asset that represents the difference between the aggregate purchase
price for the net assets acquired and the amount of such purchase price
allocated to such assets for purposes of the Company's pro forma balance sheets.
The Company is required to amortize the goodwill from the Mergers (including
goodwill associated with the payment of any earn-out consideration) over a
period of time, with the amount amortized in a particular period constituting an
expense that reduces the Company's net income for that period. The amount
amortized, however, will not give rise to a deduction for tax purposes. In
addition, the Company will be required to amortize the goodwill from any future
acquisitions for which the purchase method of accounting is used. A reduction in
net income resulting from the amortization of goodwill may have an adverse
impact upon the market price of the Company's Common Stock.
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company believes that its success will depend to a significant extent
upon the efforts and abilities of Robert New, its co-founder, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, the Company's other executive officers and, due to the
Company's decentralized operating strategy, senior management and sales
personnel of the Founding Companies. The Founding Companies will continue to
depend upon the retention of key sales personnel to maintain certain customer
relationships. The Company likely will depend upon the senior management and
sales personnel of any significant business it acquires in the future. If the
Company loses the services of one or more of these key employees before the
Company is able to attract and retain qualified replacement personnel, the
Company's business could be adversely affected. The Company does not intend to
maintain policies of "key man" life insurance on the lives of its key personnel.
See "Management."
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
     Bruce E. Kropschot, who serves as the Company's Vice Chairman -- Mergers &
Acquisitions, was founder and President of Kropschot Financial Services ("KFS"),
a merger and acquisition advisor to equipment leasing companies, through
December 1997. KFS has provided financial advisory services to three of the
Founding Companies in connection with the Mergers, for which it will receive
fees. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions -- Financial
Advisory Service Fees." In connection with his employment with UniCapital,

                                       17
<PAGE>   18
 
Mr. Kropschot reached agreement with the two managing directors of KFS pursuant
to which Mr. Kropschot has redeemed his entire equity interest in KFS in
exchange for a note payable by the parent company of KFS. Since KFS is a
prominent merger and acquisition advisor to equipment leasing companies, it is
likely that KFS will be an advisor to future candidates to be acquired by the
Company.
 
     Jonathan J. Ledecky, a director of the Company, is also a director of
Consolidation Capital Corporation, a company formed by Mr. Ledecky to pursue
consolidation opportunities in a variety of industries. Vincent Eades, a
director of the Company, is also a director of Consolidation Capital
Corporation. As a director of the Company and Consolidation Capital Corporation,
Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Eades each owes a duty of loyalty and a duty of care under
Delaware law to both companies. These duties obligate each such individual to
present certain business opportunities to the company to which he owes the
duties before pursuing such opportunities himself. Mr. Ledecky and Mr. Eades may
thus have conflicts of interest in determining to which of these entities, if
any, a particular relevant business opportunity should be presented. In
addition, Mr. Ledecky and John A. Quelch, each of whom is a director of both the
Company and U.S. Office Products Company, may each face similar conflicts of
interest between and or among their respective potentially conflicting duties
and obligations.
 
POTENTIAL INFLUENCE OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
     After the consummation of the Offering, the Company's executive officers,
directors and five-percent stockholders will own beneficially an aggregate of
approximately 12.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (approximately
11.8% if the U.S. Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The
Company's officers, directors and five-percent stockholders if acting together
may be able to control the election of directors and matters requiring the
approval of the stockholders of the Company. This concentration of ownership may
also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the
Company. See "Principal Stockholders."
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 48,132,814 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of
March 31, 1998. The 28,000,000 shares sold in the Offering will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless acquired by an "affiliate" of
the Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act ("Rule 144"); shares held by affiliates will be subject to resale
limitations of Rule 144. All of the remaining 20,132,814 outstanding shares of
Common Stock will be available for resale at various dates, subject to
compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act as the holding provisions of
Rule 144 are satisfied; 19,932,814 of such shares are subject to certain lock-up
agreements described below which expire 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus. Further, upon consummation of the Offering, 3,564,723 shares of
Common Stock will be issuable upon the exercise of stock options to be granted
prior to or upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company
intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options, and a "shelf"
registration statement with respect to shares of Common Stock that may be issued
in connection with possible future acquisition transactions, as soon as
practicable after the consummation of the Offering.
 
     Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock, or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common
Stock. Each of the Company and the directors, executive officers and certain
other stockholders of the Company has agreed that, without the prior written
consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters, it
will not, during the period ending 180 days after the date of this Prospectus,
(i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or
warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or
indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or
other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such
transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery
of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. See
"Underwriters."

NO PRIOR MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK; POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Company's
Common Stock. There can be no assurance that an active public market for the
Common Stock will develop or be sustained after the Offering. The initial public
offering price of the Common Stock was determined by negotiation between the
Company and the representatives of the Underwriters based on the factors
described under "Underwriters." The price at which the Common Stock will trade
in the public market after the Offering may be less than the initial public
offering price. In addition, the trading price of the Common Stock could be
subject to significant fluctuations in response to activities of the Company's
competitors, variations in quarterly operating results, changes in market
conditions, adverse developments that affect the industry in which the Company
conducts business (such as interest rate variations) and other events or
factors. Moreover, the stock market in the past has experienced significant
price and value fluctuations, which have not necessarily been related to
corporate operating performance. The volatility of the stock market could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock and the ability of the
Company to raise equity in the public markets. See "Underwriters."
 
DILUTION TO NEW INVESTORS
 
     After giving effect to the Mergers, purchasers of Common Stock in the
Offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the pro forma as
adjusted net tangible book value of their shares in the amount of $13.82 per
share. See "Dilution." If the Company issues additional Common Stock in the
future, including shares which may be issued pursuant to earn-out arrangements,
option grants and future acquisitions, purchasers of Common Stock in the
Offering may experience further dilution in the net tangible book value per
share of the Common Stock.
 
CERTAIN ANTITAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
     Certain provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation") and Bylaws and Delaware law
may make a change in the control of the Company more difficult to effect, even
if a change in control were in the stockholders' interest. Pursuant to the
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Board of Directors is divided into
three classes of directors elected for staggered three-year terms. In addition,
the Company is subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibit the Company from engaging in a
"business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an
"interested stockholder," unless the business combination is approved in a
prescribed manner. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Provisions of
Delaware Law and the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws."
 
     Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors of the Company may issue shares of Preferred Stock of the Company,
without stockholder approval, on such terms as the Board of Directors may
determine. The rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may
be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock that
may be issued in the future. Moreover, although the ability to issue Preferred
Stock may provide flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes, such issuances may make it more difficult for a third party
to acquire, or may discourage a third party from acquiring, stock of the
Company. The Company has no current plans to issue any shares of Preferred
Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Preferred Stock."

                            FORMATION OF THE COMPANY
 
UNICAPITAL
 
     UniCapital was incorporated in Delaware in October 1997 as a holding
company to acquire and operate equipment leasing and specialty finance
businesses serving the commercial market. As of March 31, 1998, UniCapital had
issued 6,798,750 shares of Common Stock for cash or notes to its co-founders,
management and certain other investors, including 2,115,000 shares to Robert
New, its co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 200,000 shares to
Theodore J. Rogenski, Chief Operating Officer, 470,000 shares to Bruce E.
Kropschot, Vice Chairman -- Mergers & Acquisitions, 412,500 shares to Martin
Kalb, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, or to entities over which
Mr. Kalb has control, 190,000 shares to Jonathan New, Chief Financial Officer,
315,000 shares to Steven E. Hirsch, Executive Vice President -- Structured
Finance, and 2,115,000 shares to Jonathan J. Ledecky, its co-founder and a
director of the Company. Subsequent to the Mergers and the Offering, the
co-founders of UniCapital will own beneficially in the aggregate approximately
8.8% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Party Transactions -- Organization of UniCapital."
 
THE MERGERS
 
     Simultaneously with and as a condition to the consummation of the Offering,
UniCapital will acquire in 12 separate transactions all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock and partnership interests of each of the Founding
Companies for an aggregate consideration of $584.9 million, which consists of:
(i) $331.6 million in cash to be paid to the stockholders of the Founding
Companies; and (ii) 13,334,064 shares of Common Stock, with an estimated fair
value of $253.3 million, to be issued to the stockholders of the Founding
Companies. In addition, the Company may make additional payments to the
stockholders of the Founding Companies (other than PFSC), in cash and Common
Stock, based upon increases in the adjusted pre-tax income of the Founding
Companies (i.e., the amount by which each Founding Company's pre-tax income
exceeds such Founding Company's pre-tax income, adjusted to reflect the
differential expenses expected to be realized when operated in a manner
consistent with that of a public company, for the prior year) for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 (and, in the case of Boulder, Cauff Lippman and
NSJ, also for the year ended December 31, 2000). In addition, the Company will
repay indebtedness of Jacom totaling $32.3 million incurred to fund an S
Corporation distribution to the stockholder of Jacom immediately prior to the
Jacom Merger, indebtedness of Merrimac totaling $2.8 million assumed in the
Merrimac Merger and approximately $110.0 million of certain recourse
indebtedness of the Founding Companies to be assumed by the Company in the
Mergers. Following the consummation of the Mergers, the aggregate indebtedness
of the Company will include the debt of the Founding Companies which, as of
March 31, 1998, was approximately $339.6 million. The purchase price for each
Founding Company was determined based on negotiations between UniCapital and
that Founding Company. The factors considered by the parties in determining the
purchase price included, among other factors, cash flows, historical operating
results, growth rates and business prospects of the Founding Companies. With the
exception of the consideration to be paid to the stockholders of each of the
Founding Companies, including the earn-out arrangements, the acquisition of each
Founding Company is subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as
those to which the acquisition of each other Founding Company is subject.

(1) Does not include $32.3 million of indebtedness incurred to fund an S
    Corporation distribution to the stockholder of Jacom immediately prior to
    the Jacom Merger, which indebtedness will be repaid by the Company upon
    consummation of the Jacom Merger from a portion of the net proceeds of the
    Offering.
 
(2) Does not include $2.8 million in indebtedness assumed by the Company in the
    Merrimac Merger, which indebtedness will be repaid by the Company upon
    consummation of the Merrimac Merger from a portion of the net proceeds of
    the Offering.
 
     The consummation of each Merger Agreement is contingent upon the
consummation of the Offering and the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions. The Merger Agreements provide that options to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock, equal to 6.25% of the Merger consideration received
(which includes the cash and Common Stock portion of the Merger consideration),
based on the initial public offering price, shall be made available to employees
of the Founding Companies. The options will have an exercise price equal to the
initial public offering price per share, with respect to options granted as of
the consummation of the Offering, and the fair market value as of the date of
grant, with respect to options granted thereafter, and will vest ratably over a
four-year period, beginning on the anniversary of the date of the grant. The
Merger Agreements further provide that the stockholders of the Founding
Companies will indemnify UniCapital from certain liabilities that may arise in
connection with the Mergers. A portion of the consideration payable to the
stockholders of each of the Founding Companies will be escrowed for a period of
twelve months from the consummation of the Offering, as security for the
stockholders' indemnification obligations. The Merger Agreements provide that
the stockholders of the Founding Companies covenant not to compete with the
Company and its affiliates for a period of two years from the date of the
Merger. Each of the Merger Agreements provides that UniCapital and certain key
employees of each of the Founding Companies will enter into employment
agreements. The following summaries of the Merger Agreements are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the complete texts of the Merger Agreements,
which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
  AMERICAN CAPITAL
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of American Capital
for: (i) $20.4 million in cash and (ii) 1,071,053 shares of Common Stock. In
addition, UniCapital will pay additional consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in
Common Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any increase in American Capital's adjusted
pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 over the year ended December
31, 1997 and (ii) 50% of any increase in American Capital's adjusted pre-tax
income for the year ended December 31, 1999 over the adjusted pre-tax income for
the year ended December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted pre-tax income for the year
ended December 31,
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   22
 
1998 is less than for the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the
baseline for comparison will be the year ended December 31, 1997). Each of
Michael Pandolfelli, the President of American Capital, and Gerald P. Ennella,
the Executive Vice President of American Capital, respectively, will enter into
a two-year employment agreement with the subsidiary of the Company that will
operate the American Capital business after the Merger and a two-year,
post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company.
 
  BOULDER
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Boulder for: (i)
$7.1 million in cash and (ii) 371,053 shares of Common Stock; provided, that for
every $1.00 by which the adjusted pre-tax income of Boulder for the year ended
December 31, 1998 is less than the adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 1997, the stockholders of Boulder will repay to UniCapital $6.00,
in Common Stock valued at the initial public offering price per share, up to a
maximum of $3.6 million. In addition, UniCapital will pay additional
consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any
increase in Boulder's adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31,
1998 over the year ended December 31, 1997; and (ii) 50% of any increase in
Boulder's adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1999 over the
adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted
pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 is less than for the year
ended December 31, 1997, in which case the baseline for comparison will be the
year ended December 31, 1997). In addition, as part of the Boulder Merger,
UniCapital will acquire Boulder's interest in certain new vendor programs and a
real estate venture and will pay additional consideration, 50% in cash and 50%
in Common Stock, equal to (i) the pre-tax income of Boulder attributable to such
new vendor programs and Boulder's interest in the real estate venture for each
of the years ending December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 and (ii) three times
Boulder's interest in the average pre-tax income of the real estate venture for
the years ending December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Roy Burger, the President of
Boulder, will enter into a two-year employment agreement with the subsidiary of
the Company that will operate the Boulder business after the Merger and a two-
year, post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company.
 
  CAUFF LIPPMAN
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Cauff Lippman for:
(i) $48.0 million in cash and (ii) 1,684,210 shares of Common Stock. In
addition, UniCapital will pay additional consideration, 60% in cash and 40% in
Common Stock, of up to $40.0 million based on the adjusted pre-tax income of the
"Big Ticket Leasing Division" (defined as Cauff Lippman and NSJ for the period
from January 1, 1998 through the date of consummation of the Mergers, and
thereafter as Cauff Lippman, NSJ and other operating subsidiaries of the Company
that conduct the business conducted by Cauff Lippman and NSJ prior to the
consummation of the Mergers) for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000. The Merger Agreement provides for such additional consideration to be paid
in three possible payments: (i) $13.3 million if the adjusted pre-tax income of
the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended December 31, 1998 exceeds
$19.0 million; (ii) an additional $13.3 million if the adjusted pre-tax income
of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended December 31, 1999, plus
the excess of the adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for
the year ended December 31, 1998 over $26.7 million, exceeds $19.0 million; and
(iii) a third $13.3 million if the adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket
Leasing Division for the year ended December 31, 2000, plus the excess of the
adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended
December 31, 1999 over $26.7 million, exceeds $19.0 million; provided, that if
the aggregate amount paid under clauses (i) and (ii) is less than $26.7 million
and if the aggregate adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division
for the three years ended December 31, 2000 equals or exceeds $56.9 million,
then the payment under clause (iii) will equal $40.0 million minus the amounts
paid under clauses (i) and (ii). Stuart Cauff, the President of Cauff Lippman
will become the President and CEO of UniCapital's Big Ticket Leasing Division
and will enter into a three-year employment agreement with the Company and a
subsidiary of the Company that will operate the Cauff Lippman business after the
Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company
(subject to certain limited exceptions). Wayne Lippman, the Vice-President of
Cauff Lippman will become the Executive Vice President of UniCapital's Big
Ticket Leasing Division and will enter into a three-year employment agreement
with the Company and a subsidiary of the Company that will operate the Cauff
Lippman business after the Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not
to compete with the Company (subject to certain limited exceptions). The
employment agreements of Messrs. Cauff and Lippman provide that for each

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

$30.0 million in cumulative adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing
Division during the period beginning January 1, 1998 and ending December 31,
2001, each of Messrs. Cauff and Lippman will be granted options to purchase
125,000 shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum of 500,000 shares to each. Such
options will be granted at the fair market value on the date of grant of each
installment, if any, and will be immediately exercisable.
 
     In addition to Cauff Lippman, Messrs. Cauff and Lippman are involved in
other entities with interests in the aircraft leasing business which are not
part of Cauff Lippman and are not being acquired in the Merger. In connection
with the Merger Agreement, however, Messrs. Cauff and Lippman have granted the
Company the option to purchase their interests in some or all of such entities,
for the following purchase prices: (i) Jumbo Jet Leasing LP and Jumbo Jet,
Inc. -- $1.0 million: (ii) CL Aircraft Marketing LP and CL Aircraft Marketing,
Inc. -- $4.0 million; (iii) Twin Jet Leasing, Inc and Aircraft 49402,
Inc. -- $100,000; and (iv) CL Aircraft XXV, Inc. -- $100,000. An additional
option may be granted to acquire Aircraft 46941, Inc. for a nominal purchase
price, if such entity is not a subsidiary of Cauff Lippman upon consummation of
the Merger. Each option is exercisable until the date that is twelve months
after the consummation of the Offering. Certain third party lenders which are
participants in some of these entities, must consent to the transfer of any
equity interest in such entities. Such consents may not be obtained. In
addition, under the terms of their agreement with Chase Manhattan Bank, upon
consummation of the Merger, Messrs. Cauff and Lippman and any entities
controlled by them will be prohibited from engaging in any transaction involving
Boeing 747-100 and -200 series aircraft without the approval of Chase Manhattan
Bank.
 
  JACOM
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Jacom for: (i)
$128.0 million in cash and (ii) 3,368,368 shares of Common Stock. Immediately
prior to the Merger, Jacom will make a distribution to its stockholder in the
amount of $32.3 million, which distribution will be funded from borrowings to be
repaid by UniCapital upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, UniCapital
will pay additional consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock, equal to
(i) 50% of any increase in Jacom's adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 1998 over the year ended December 31, 1997 and (ii) 50% of any
increase in Jacom's adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1999
over the adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 (unless
adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 is less than for
the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the baseline for comparison will
be the year ended December 31, 1997). John Alfano, the President of Jacom, will
become the Company's National Marketing Director and will enter into a two-year
employment agreement with the subsidiary of the Company that will operate the
Jacom business after the Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not to
compete with the Company. In addition, the Company will enter into a consulting
agreement with a corporation, the sole stockholder of which is Robert Seaman,
pursuant to which Mr. Seaman's corporation will continue to provide such
consulting services to Jacom as it currently provides, and will render
additional consulting services to the Company in pursuing merger and acquisition
activities and strategic alliances.
 
  KEYSTONE
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Keystone for: (i)
$27.9 million in cash and (ii) 1,468,421 shares of Common Stock. In addition,
UniCapital will pay additional consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in Common
Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any increase in Keystone's adjusted pre-tax income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 over the year ended December 31, 1997 and
(ii) 50% of any increase in Keystone's adjusted pre-tax income for the year
ended December 31, 1999 over the adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December
31, 1998 is less than for the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the
baseline for comparison will be the year ended December 31, 1997). Each of Alan
Kaufman and Edgar Lee, the President and Executive Vice President of Keystone,
respectively, will enter into a two-year employment agreement with the
subsidiary of the Company that will operate the Keystone business after the
Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company.

Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any increase in Matrix's adjusted pre-tax income for

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and other
expenses of the Offering, all of which are payable by the Company, are estimated
to be approximately $492.1 million (approximately $567.1 million if the U.S.
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The principal uses of
such net proceeds to the Company are described below. See "Formation of the
Company -- The Mergers" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions -- The Mergers." The Company is currently negotiating to obtain,
and has obtained a commitment letter for, a bank credit facility, which may
replace some of the Founding Companies' existing credit facilities. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Pro Forma Combined Financial Condition
and Pro Forma Combined Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common

any, to finance the expansion of its business and for general corporate
purposes. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board
of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, the Company's earnings,
financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual
restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends and other considerations
that the Company's Board of Directors deems relevant.

                                    DILUTION
 
     After giving effect to the initial capitalization of UniCapital as if it
had occurred on March 31, 1998, the Company had a pro forma net tangible book
value deficit at March 31, 1998, of $239.3 million, or a deficit of $11.77 per
share of Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value deficit per share is
determined by dividing the pro forma net tangible book value deficit of the
Company (tangible assets less liabilities) by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. Adjusting for the Mergers and the sale by the Company of the
28,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby at an initial public offering
price of $19.00 per share, the application of the estimated proceeds therefrom
as described under "Use of Proceeds," and the exercise of options to purchase
200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, the pro
forma net tangible book value of the Company, as adjusted, at March 31, 1998
would have been $250.4 million, or $5.18 per share. This amount represents an
immediate dilution to new investors of $13.82 per share and an immediate
increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to existing
stockholders of $16.95 per share. The following table illustrates this per share
dilution to new investors:

(2) Shares of Common Stock that might be issued pursuant to earn-out
    arrangements will be recorded at fair value at the time of their issuance
    which, at such time, may be less than the initial offering price per share.
    As there is no maximum aggregate number of shares that could be issued under
    these earn-out arrangements, the Company cannot estimate the dilution that
    may result from such issuances.
 
     The following table sets forth at March 31, 1998, after giving effect to

Offering: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by existing

                   SELECTED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
     UniCapital was established in October 1997 and will acquire the Founding
Companies simultaneously with and as a condition to the consummation of the
Offering. For financial statement presentation purposes, UniCapital has been
identified as the "accounting acquiror." The following unaudited summary pro
forma combined financial data present data for the Company, adjusted to give
effect to (i) the consummation of the Mergers, (ii) certain pro forma
adjustments to the historical financial statements described below and (iii) the
consummation of the Offering and the application of the net proceeds therefrom.
The summary pro forma data are not necessarily indicative of operating results
or the financial position that would have been achieved had the events described
above been consummated and should not be construed as representative of future
operating results or financial position. The summary pro forma combined
financial data should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Financial Statements and the notes thereto and the historical financial
statements of the Founding Companies and the notes thereto included elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The Company anticipates that, subsequent to the Mergers, it
will realize savings from the combination of functions such as accounting and
finance, treasury, insurance, employee benefits, strategic marketing and legal
support at the corporate level. However, these savings cannot be quantified or
reasonably estimated and therefore have not been included in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Financial Statements.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited
Pro Forma Financial Statements and the related notes thereto and the historical
financial statements of UniCapital and the Founding Companies and the related
notes appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
GENERAL
 
     UniCapital was founded in October 1997 to create a national consolidator
and operator of equipment leasing and specialty finance businesses serving the
commercial market. Upon consummation of the Mergers, the Company, through the
Founding Companies, will originate, acquire, sell and service equipment leases
and arrange structured financings in the computer and telecommunications
equipment, large ticket and structured finance, middle market and small ticket
areas of the equipment leasing industry. In addition, one of the Founding
Companies will provide lease administration and processing services for certain
of the leases originated by the Founding Companies, as well as for any
securitizations undertaken by the Company. The Founding Companies' leases and
structured financing arrangements cover a broad range of equipment, including
aircraft, computer and telecommunications equipment, construction and
manufacturing equipment, office equipment, trucks, printing equipment, car
washes and petroleum retail equipment and vending machines. The Company will
fund the acquisition or origination of its leases through warehouse credit
facilities or through recourse or non-recourse financing and will retain the
leases for its own account or sell the leases to third parties. The Company
intends to sell certain of its lease receivables in the public and private
markets through a securitization program. For the year ended December 31, 1997
and for the three months ended March 31,1998, the Company had pro forma combined
direct financing and sales-type lease originations of approximately $581.4
million and $154.7 million, respectively, pro forma combined income from
operations of $38.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and pro forma
combined net income before extraordinary item of $22.0 million and $8.3 million,
respectively.
 
     The Company, which has conducted no operations to date, has entered into
agreements to acquire the Founding Companies simultaneously with the
consummation of the Offering. The Company intends to integrate these businesses,
their operations and their administrative functions over a period of time. Such
integration may present opportunities to reduce costs through the elimination of
duplicate functions and through economies of scale, and may necessitate
additional costs and expenditures for corporate management and administration,
corporate expenses related to being a public company, systems integration,
employee relocation and severance and facilities expansion. These various costs
and possible cost-savings make comparison of future operating results with
historical operating results difficult.
 
     The Founding Companies have operated historically as independent,
privately-owned entities, and their results of operations reflect varying tax
structures, including both S and C Corporations, which have influenced the
historical level of owners' compensation. The selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Founding Companies include compensation to
employee-stockholders totaling $15.4 million, $15.0 million and $18.9 million
for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and $2.8
million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
respectively. As a result of varying tax structures and practices regarding
compensation to employee-stockholders among the Founding Companies, the
comparison of operating margins among the Founding Companies and from period to
period in respect of a particular Founding Company may be difficult. Upon
consummation of the Mergers, certain employee-stockholders of the Founding
Companies will enter into employment agreements and the aggregate compensation
paid to the management of the Founding Companies will be reduced. This
Compensation Differential has been reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations.
 
     Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company issued an additional 1,522,500
shares of Common Stock to individuals serving as consultants to the Company,
each of whom will become employees of the Company upon consummation of the
Offering, and certain other stockholders and recorded a non-cash compensation
charge of $15.2 million related to the difference between amounts paid and the
value of these shares. In addition, in January 1998, the Company issued an
option to a consultant to the Company, who will become an employee of the
Company upon consummation of the Offering, to purchase 200,000 shares of Common
Stock at $3.00 per
 
                                       32
<PAGE>   33
 
share, which expires on January 31, 2008. The Company recorded a charge in the
amount of $2,060,000 in January 1998 reflecting the compensatory value of the
option.
 
     The Company derives the majority of its revenue from lease payments on
leases originated and held by the Company, gains on sale of leases and sales of
equipment subject to leases. In addition, the Company derives revenue from sales
of equipment off-lease and the sale of new equipment, as well as from servicing
fees, late charges and administrative fees. In addition, the Company receives
remarketing fees for the sale of off-lease equipment on behalf of equity
investors in leases originated by the Company and may obtain a premium for sales
prices in excess of an agreed-upon amount.
 
     The Company expects to fund the majority of the leases that it originates
through credit facilities. The Company anticipates that a significant portion of
its future leases will be sold to third parties or refinanced through a
securitization program or other structured finance products. Should the Company
be unable to sell or securitize leases with fixed rates within a reasonable
period of time after funding, the Company's operating margins could be adversely
affected by any increase in interest rates. Moreover, increases in interest
rates which cause the Company to raise the implicit rate charged to its
customers could cause a reduction in demand for the Company's lease products.
 
     The leases acquired or originated by the Company generally are
noncancelable for a specified term during which the Company generally receives
scheduled payments sufficient, in the aggregate, to cover the Company's
borrowing costs and, when aggregated with the residual, the costs of the
underlying equipment. The noncancelable term of each lease is equal to or less
than the equipment's estimated economic life. Initial terms of the leases in the
Company's portfolio, on a pro forma basis, generally range from 12 to 84 months.
Certain of the leases acquired or originated by the Company carry a $1.00
buy-out provision upon maturity of the lease.
 
     The Company's leases are collateralized by the equipment leased as well as,
in some cases, a personal guarantee provided by a principal of the lessee. The
Company manages credit risk through diversifying its business customer base,
geographic location of lessees and the type of business equipment leased. The
Company believes that prepayment and charge-off risks are mitigated by the
noncancelable, full payout structure of the majority of its leases which cover
equipment used in business operations.
 
     The Company currently intends to maintain the present business mix of
leasing activities within the Founding Companies. While the Company intends to
disseminate among the Founding Companies "best practices" for the various
leasing activities conducted within the entities, the Company does not intend to
require the Founding Companies to alter their activities in such a manner so as
to impair their core origination strengths. However, the present pro forma
combined mix of leasing activities may change if the Company consummates
acquisitions of leasing companies subsequent to the Mergers or as the Founding
Companies change their business practices in response to market changes. Except
for the Mergers, the Company is not currently involved in negotiations and is
not a party to any arrangements, agreements or understandings with respect to
any acquisitions.
 
CERTAIN ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
 
     Direct Financing Leases.  A significant portion of the Company's leases are
"direct financing" leases, which transfer substantially all of the benefits and
risks of equipment ownership to the lessee. At March 31, 1998, on a pro forma
combined basis, the Company's net investment in direct financing leases totaled
$353.3 million, or 61.6% of the Company's net investment in leases (including
net book value of equipment under operating leases). A lease is classified as a
direct financing lease if the collection of the minimum lease payments is
reasonably predictable, no significant uncertainties exist relating to
unreimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the lessor under the lease and the
lease meets one of the following criteria: (i) ownership of the property is
transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains
a bargain purchase option; (iii) the term of the lease is at least equal to 75%
of the estimated economic life of the leased equipment; or (iv) the present
value of the minimum lease payments is at least equal to 90% of the fair value
of the leased equipment at the inception of the lease. With respect to its
direct financing leases, the Company records total lease rentals receivable,
estimated unguaranteed residual value and initial direct costs (which are those
costs, including sales commissions, incurred in connection with consummating the
lease) as the gross investment in the lease. The difference between the
                                       33
<PAGE>   34
 
gross investment in the lease and the cost of the leased equipment is defined as
"unearned income." Finance income is recognized over the term of the lease by
amortizing the unearned income using the interest method.
 
     Sales-Type Leases.  At March 31, 1998, on a pro forma combined basis, the
Company's net investment in sales-type leases totaled $95.3 million, or 16.6% of
the Company's net investment in leases (including net book value of equipment
under operating leases). Sales-type leases, like direct financing leases,
transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of equipment ownership to
the lessee. However, sales-type leases include profit at lease inception to the
extent the fair value of the equipment exceeds the Company's carrying value.
Sales-type leases can arise in connection with new leases, or upon
classification of lease renewals. A lease is classified as a sales-type lease if
the collection of the minimum lease payments is reasonably predictable, no
significant uncertainties exist relating to unreimbursable costs yet to be
incurred by the lessor under the lease and the lease meets one of the following
criteria: (i) ownership of the property is transferred to the lessee at the end
of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (iii) the
term of the lease is at least equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the
leased equipment; or (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments is at
least equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased equipment at the inception of
the lease. With respect to its sales-type leases, the Company records total
lease rentals receivable, estimated unguaranteed residual value as the gross
investment in the lease. The difference between gross investment in the lease
and the present value of the gross investment in the lease is defined as
"unearned income." The present value of the minimum lease payments computed at
the interest rate implicit in the lease shall be recorded as sales revenue. The
cost of the equipment less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value,
computed at the interest rate implicit in the lease, is reflected as the cost of
sale. Finance income is recognized over the term of the lease by amortizing the
unearned income using the interest method.
 
     Operating Leases.  All lease contracts which do not meet the criteria of
direct financing leases or sales-type leases are accounted for as operating
leases. Monthly lease payments are recorded as income from operating leases.
Leased equipment is recorded, at the Company's cost, as "Equipment under
operating leases" and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
life of the equipment. The residual value of an item of leased equipment is its
estimated fair market value at the expiration of the lease. When equipment is
sold, the net proceeds realized in excess of the carrying value are recorded as
"Gain on sale of equipment;" if the net proceeds are less than the carrying
value, the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the net proceeds is
recorded as a loss. At March 31, 1998, on a pro forma combined basis, the net
book value of equipment under operating leases totaled $124.7 million, or 21.8%
of the Company's net investment in leases (including net book value of equipment
under operating leases).
 
     Gain on Sale.  The Company also generates gain on sale income from the sale
of leases to third party financing sources for cash. Gain on sale of leases is
calculated as the difference between the proceeds received, net of related
selling expenses, and the carrying amount of the related leases, adjusted for
ongoing obligations of the Company, if any. In June 1996 the Financial
Accounting Standards Board adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125 ("SFAS 125"), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS 125 is effective for
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. Among other things, SFAS 125
requires that servicing assets and other retained interests in transferred
assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets
sold, if any, and retained interests, if any, based on relative fair values at
the date of transfer.
 
     Residual Interests.  At the inception of a direct financing lease or a
sales-type lease, the Company estimates a residual value based upon the expected
net realizable value of the equipment at the end of the lease term. The residual
value of equipment subject to operating lease is defined by the depreciable life
and method adopted for the equipment. At the end of the initial term of a lease,
the lease may be extended, the equipment may be sold to the lessee or the
equipment may be sold or leased to another party. A gain or loss is recognized
based upon the excess or deficiency of sale proceeds compared to the estimated
residual value. The original estimate of the residual value is adjusted downward
during the lease term if a decline in value is projected; however, accounting
rules do not permit upward adjustments in residual estimates.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   35
 
     The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of its leases based
on the level of recourse provided, if any, delinquency statistics, historical
loss experience, current economic conditions and other relevant factors.
 
PRO FORMA COMBINED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     The pro forma combined results of operations of the Founding Companies for
the periods presented do not represent combined results of operations presented
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but are only a
summation of the revenues, operating expenses and general and administrative
expenses of the individual Founding Companies on a pro forma combined basis. The
pro forma combined results may not be comparable to, and may not be indicative
of, the Company's results of operations after consummation of the Mergers.
 
     The following table sets forth the combined results of operations of the
Founding Companies on a pro forma basis and as a percentage of revenues for the
period indicated.

Pro Forma Combined Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to
the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
 
     Finance Income from Direct Financing and Sales-Type Leases. Finance income
from direct financing and sales-type leases increased approximately $1.2
million, or 10.3%, from $11.3 million in 1997 to $12.5 million in 1998. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in originations and the
amount of time leases were held prior to sale at Keystone, Matrix and Walden. As
a percentage of revenues, finance income from direct financing and sales-type
leases decreased by 7.6% to 17.3% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
24.9% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Rental Income from Operating Leases. Rental income from operating leases
increased approximately $1.4 million, or 11.9%, from $11.4 million in 1997 to
$12.8 million in 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the volume of operating leases at Varilease. As a percentage of revenues,
rental income from operating leases decreased by 7.3% to 17.8% in the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from 25.1% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
                                       35

     Sales of Equipment. Income from sales of equipment increased approximately
$21.4 million, or 140.7%, from $15.2 million in 1997 to $36.6 million in 1998.
This increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales of equipment
at Jacom during the period ending March 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues,
income from sales of equipment increased by 17.4% to 50.7% in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 from 33.3% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Gain on Sale of Leases. Gain on sale of leases decreased approximately $.8
million, or 18.2%, from $4.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 to
$3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998. This decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease at Varilease as a result of a large project
which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and a decrease at
American Capital primarily as a result of a lower volume of leases sold during
the three months ended March 31, 1998, partially offset by an increase at
Matrix. As a percentage of revenues, gain on sale of leases decreased by 4.6% to
5.0% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 9.6% in the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Fees, Commissions and Remarketing Income. Fees, commissions and remarketing
income increased approximately $2.7 million, or 129.0%, from $2.1 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997 to $4.8 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to the consummation of
three commission transactions in the three months ended March 31, 1998 at Cauff
Lippman and increased remarketing income at Varilease. As a percentage of
revenues, fees, commissions and remarketing income increased by 2.1% to 6.7% in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 4.6% in the three months ended March
31, 1997.
 
     Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased
approximately $0.7 million, or 60.9%, from $1.1 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1997 to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase at NSJ and Keystone. As
a percentage of revenues, interest and other income increased by 0.1% to 2.5% in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 2.4% in the three months ended March
31, 1997.
 
     Cost of Operating Leases. Cost of operating leases increased approximately
$1.6 million, or 23.7%, from $6.7 million in the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily as a
result of an increase in the volume of operating leases at Varilease during the
three months ended March 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, cost of
operating leases decreased by 3.2% to 11.6% in the three months ended March 31,
1998 from 14.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Cost of Equipment Sold. Cost of equipment sold increased approximately
$10.8 million, or 83.5%, from $12.9 million in the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $23.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily as a
result of the increase in sale of equipment at Jacom during the period ended
March 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, cost of equipment sold increased by
4.5% to 32.8% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 28.3% in the three
months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $0.2 million, or
2.9%, from $8.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $8.7 million
in the three months ended March 31, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, interest
expense decreased by 6.4% to 12.1% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
18.5% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased approximately $4.1 million, or 37.6%, from $11.0 million in
the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $15.1 million in the three months ended
March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of an increase in compensation expense at
Jacom, increased compensation to Walden stockholders and an increase in salary
expense at Varilease. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by 3.1% to 21.0% in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from 24.1% in the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Income from Operations. As a result of the factors discussed above, income
from operations increased to $13.2 million in the three months ended March 31,
1998 from $3.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of
$9.8 million, or 282.8%. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations
increased by 10.7% to 18.3% in the three months ended March 31, 1998 from 7.6%
in the three months ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
     Approximately $331.6 million of the proceeds from the Offering will be used
to fund the cash portion of the consideration to be paid in connection with the
Mergers and approximately $145.1 million will be used to repay certain
indebtedness of the Founding Companies. The remaining $15.4 million will be used
for general corporate purposes, including possible acquisitions. See "Use of
Proceeds." As of March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and marketable securities
of approximately $32.2 million on a pro forma combined basis after the Offering.
The Company's business is capital intensive and requires access to substantial
short-term and long-term credit to fund new equipment leases. The Founding
Companies have funded their operations primarily through sales of leases and
non-recourse or recourse borrowings. The Company will continue to require access
to significant additional capital to maintain and expand its volume of leases
funded, as well as to fund any future acquisitions of leasing and specialty
finance companies.
 
     The Company's uses of cash include the origination of equipment leases,
payment of interest expenses, repayment of borrowings under its warehouse
facilities, operating and administrative expenses, income taxes and capital
expenditures and may include payment of the cash portion of the earn-out
arrangements with the stockholders of the Founding Companies (other than PFSC).
On a pro forma basis, the Company generated positive cash flow from operations
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended March 31,
1998.
 
     The Company currently does not have any commitments to make significant
capital expenditures in the next twelve months. The Company believes that funds
generated from operations, together with the proceeds from the Offering and
possible future sources of borrowings, including a credit facility for which the
Company has obtained a commitment letter, will be sufficient to finance its
current operations and planned capital expenditure requirements at least through
1998. Although the Company is not currently involved in negotiations and has no
current commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions (other than
the Mergers), to the extent that the Company is successful in consummating
acquisitions, it may be necessary to finance such acquisitions through the
issuance of additional equity securities, incurrence of indebtedness or a
combination of both.
 
     Commitments for Senior Credit Facilities
 
     In April 1998, the Company received the commitment of NationsBank, N.A.,
("NationsBank"), as administrative agent, and NationsBanc Montgomery Securities
LLC, as arranger and syndication agent, to provide an anticipated $1.2 billion
in credit facilities (the "Senior Credit Facilities") which consist of the
following sub-facilities: (i) a $300.0 million Corporate Revolving Credit
Facility primarily to finance acquisitions and working capital (the "Revolving
Facility"); (ii) a $300.0 million Special Purpose Entity Large Ticket Warehouse
Facility primarily to finance the purchase and leasing of aircraft and engines
(the "Warehouse Facility"); and (iii) two asset-backed commercial paper
facilities totaling $600.0 million to finance small ticket and middle market
leases, consisting of an Equipment Lease Receivable Purchase Facility (the
"Purchase Facility") and an Equipment Lease Receivable Financing Facility (the
"Financing Facility"). The establishment of the Senior Credit Facilities is
contingent upon the mutual agreement of the parties as to acceptable
documentation, various covenants, the amount of fees, applicable interest rates,
termination events, conditions, legal opinions and other terms, and no assurance
can be given that agreement will be reached, that any or all of the Senior
Credit Facilities will be obtained, or that, if obtained, they will be obtained
upon the terms described below. See "Risk Factors--Need for Additional Capital."
 
     Revolving Facility. Under the Revolving Facility, the Company expects to be
able to borrow up to $300.0 million with a $50.0 million sublimit for letters of
credit and a $15.0 million swingline sublimit. The proceeds of the Revolving
Facility may be used to finance the cash portion of permitted acquisitions and
for general corporate purposes, subject to certain limitations. Amounts
outstanding under the Revolving Facility are to bear interest, at the Company's
option, at NationsBank's base rate plus an applicable margin, or a Eurodollar
rate plus an applicable margin. The Company's obligations under the Revolving
Facility are to be guaranteed by all present and future subsidiaries of the
Company other than certain special purpose entities which are not participating
in the Warehouse Facility. The Revolving Facility is to be secured by a pledge
of all of the capital stock of the Company's subsidiaries (or at least 65% of
the capital stock of each present and future foreign subsidiary) and a security
interest in all other present and future assets and properties of the Company
and its subsidiaries, other than assets financed on a non-recourse basis to the
Company and any assets subject to liens granted in connection with certain
permitted indebtedness (including securitizations). Borrowings under the
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   38
 
Revolving Facility are expected to be subject to customary conditions, including
but not limited to absence of material adverse effect, absence of material
litigation, absence of disruption or material adverse change in the financial or
capital markets, satisfactory completion of due diligence by the lenders and the
receipt by the Company of a minimum of $425.0 million in net proceeds from this
Offering. In addition, the Revolving Facility is expected to contain customary
covenants, including but not limited to limitations on liens other than
permitted liens, investments, dividends and other restricted payments,
incurrence of recourse indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, acquisitions
other than permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Revolving Facility) as well
as various financial covenants customary for transactions of this type,
including ratios of debt with recourse or limited recourse to cash flow, total
debt to net worth and cash flow to fixed charges, and maintenance at all times
of a minimum net worth with step-ups for a portion of the Company's net income
and the net proceeds of any equity issuances. Specific conditions and covenants
are subject to negotiation, and any conditions or covenants agreed to upon
establishment of the Revolving Facility may be more or less restrictive than
those described herein. The Company will be obligated to pay an annual
commitment fee of a percentage of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility
from and after the date on which the Revolving Facility is entered into.
 
     Warehouse Facility. Under the Warehouse Facility, one or more newly formed
special purpose entities wholly-owned by the Company (each a "SPE Borrower" and
collectively, the "SPE Borrowers") expects to be able to borrow up to an
aggregate of $300.0 million. The proceeds of the Warehouse Facility may be used
to finance the purchase of eligible aircraft and eligible engines. Amounts
outstanding under the Warehouse Facility are to bear interest, at the Company's
option, at NationsBank's base rate plus an applicable margin or a Eurodollar
rate plus an applicable margin. The SPE Borrowers' obligations under the
Warehouse Facility are to be guaranteed by all present and future subsidiaries
of the SPE Borrowers (including any trusts with respect to which each SPE
Borrower has a beneficial interest) for so long as such SPE Borrowers are
borrowers under the Warehouse Facility. The Warehouse Facility will be
nonrecourse to the Company, but is to be secured by a first priority perfected
pledge of all of the common stock of each SPE Borrower and each domestic
subsidiary (direct or indirect) of each SPE Borrower, and a first priority
perfected security interest in all present and future assets and properties of
each SPE Borrower and each of its subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Warehouse
Facility are expected to be subject to customary conditions, including but not
limited to absence of material adverse effect, absence of material litigation,
absence of disruption or adverse change in the financial or capital markets, as
well as satisfactory completion of due diligence by the lenders and receipt by
the Company of a minimum of $425.0 million in net proceeds from this Offering.
In addition, the Warehouse Facility is expected to contain customary covenants,
including but not limited to limitations on liens, investments, dividends and
other restricted payments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates,
acquisitions, incurrence of debt, as well as annual appraisals of eligible
aircraft and engines, annual review of the approved lessees and obligors and
aircraft and engine types and interest rate protection acceptable to
NationsBank, and various financial covenants customary for transactions of this
type, including a ratio of cash flow to interest. Specific conditions and
covenants are subject to negotiation, and any conditions or covenants agreed to
upon establishment of the Warehouse Facility may be more or less restrictive
than those described herein. The Company will be obligated to pay an annual
commitment fee of a percentage of the unused portion of the Warehouse Facility
from and after the date on which the Warehouse Facility is entered into.
 
     Purchase Facility. The Company expects to establish the Purchase Facility
with NationsBank, as administrative agent, pursuant to which a commercial paper
conduit (the "CP Conduit") or, if the CP Conduit does not buy them, one or more
bank investors, which will include NationsBank (the "Bank Investors"), would
purchase an interest (the "Net Investment") in up to an amount (the "Facility
Limit"), currently expected to be $500.0 million, of small ticket and middle
market leases meeting certain eligibility requirements. Two wholly-owned,
bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries of the Company (the "Transferors") will purchase
the Company's interest in certain operating and financing leases and related
leased equipment originated or purchased by the Company or eligible subsidiaries
of the Company. The CP Conduit (or, upon the occurrence of certain events, the
Bank Investors) will purchase interests in eligible leases at a discount of the
present value of the remaining lease receivables cash flows discounted back to
the date that such interests are sold to the CP Conduit. Collections on the
leases sold to the CP Conduit will generally be applied first to pay any amounts
due under the Purchase Facility and certain other specified facilities, and then
to the Transferors. The Company anticipates that the Net Investment under the
Purchase Facility will be periodically reduced though securitizations to an
amount
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   39
 
significantly less than the Facility Limit. The Purchase Facility is expected to
contain restrictions customary for facilities of this type, including
limitations on liens on the leases, indebtedness, certain lease modifications
and changes in credit and collection practices. Specific restrictions are
subject to negotiation, and any restrictions agreed to upon establishment of the
Purchase Facility may be more or less restrictive than those described herein.
The Purchase Facility requires payment by the Transferor of program fees,
facility fees, administration fees and commercial paper dealer fees.
 
     Financing Facility. The Company expects to establish the Financing Facility
with NationsBank, as administrative agent, pursuant to which the CP Conduit or
the Bank Investors will advance an amount currently expected to be up to $100.0
million. A wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Financing SPE") will receive a pledge
of the Company's interest in certain operating and financing leases and certain
leased equipment originated or purchased by the Company or any subsidiaries of
the Company. The CP Conduit (or, under certain limited circumstances, the Bank
Investors) will lend funds to the Financing SPE in an amount equal to a
percentage of the present value of the remaining lease receivable. Such
borrowings will be secured by an interest in the Financing SPE's leases and
certain leased equipment. The Financing Facility is expected to contain
customary restrictions and require the payment of various fees, generally on
terms substantially equivalent to those in the Purchase Facility. Specific
restrictions are subject to negotiation, and any agreed to upon establishment of
the Financing Facility may be more or less restrictive than those described
herein. It is expected that the Company will guarantee amounts borrowed under
the Financing Facility.
 
     The Company will be obligated to pay a financing fee in connection with
entering into the Senior Credit Facilities, as well as an annual administration
fee equal to a percentage of the total amount of the Senior Credit Facilities.
The Company expects that the aggregate fees and expenses to be paid in
connection with entering into the Senior Credit Facilities will be paid from
borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
 
HEDGING STRATEGY
 
     When the Company borrows funds, it is exposed to a certain degree of risk
caused by interest rate fluctuations. Although the Company's equipment loans are
generally structured and permanently funded on a fixed interest rate basis, the
Company may initially fund the lease by borrowing on a floating rate basis. The
Company anticipates that it will use hedging techniques to protect its interest
rate margin during the period that floating rate funds are used. To manage its
interest rate risk, the Company expects to use derivative financial instruments,
such as forward rate agreements and Treasury locks and interest rate swaps, caps
and collars. The Company's hedging techniques may not protect it from interest
rate-related risks in all interest rate environments.
 
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY RESULTS
 
     The Company could experience fluctuations in quarterly operating results
due to a number of factors including, among others, the completion of a
securitization transaction in a particular calendar quarter (or the failure to
complete such a securitization transaction) and the interest rates on the
securities issued in connection with its securitization transactions, variations
in the volume of leases funded by the Company, differences between the Company's
cost of funds and the average implicit yield to the Company on its leases prior
to being securitized, the effectiveness of the Company's hedging strategy, the
degree to which the Company encounters competition in its markets and general
economic conditions. In addition, certain of the Founding Companies,
particularly those engaged in the lease and sale of aircraft, may experience
significant fluctuations due to the timing of sales of aircraft. Moreover, some
of the Founding Companies may from time to time experience relatively large
transactions for one or a few customers, which may not recur or may not be
followed by correspondingly large transactions for other customers in subsequent
periods. As a result of these fluctuations and the significant impact that the
timing of any securitization transactions may have on the Company's results of
operations, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being
indicative of performance in future quarters.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of the Founding Companies and related notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
     Of the Founding Companies, Cauff Lippman, Jacom, MCMG, NSJ and Walden have
elected to be treated as S Corporations, Merrimac and PFSC are organized as
partnerships and American Capital, Boulder, Keystone, Matrix and Varilease are C
Corporations. As a result, only American Capital, Boulder, Keystone, Matrix and
Varilease were subject to federal income taxes. The selling, general and
administrative expenses of the Founding Companies include compensation to
employee-stockholders of the Founding Companies totaling $15.4 million, $15.0
million and $18.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, and $2.8 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Upon consummation of the Mergers, certain
employee-stockholders will enter into employment agreements and the aggregate
compensation paid to stockholders of the Founding Companies will be reduced. As
a result of varying tax structures and practices regarding compensation to
employee-stockholders, the comparison of operating margins among the Founding
Companies and from period to period in respect of a particular Founding Company
may be difficult.
 
AMERICAN CAPITAL RESOURCES, INC.
 
     American Capital provides lease and secured financing for equipment,
primarily printing presses, to companies in the printing, packaging and paper
converting industries. Leases originated by American Capital are direct
financing leases, with an average transaction size for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1997 of approximately $733,000 and an average term of 81 months. To
fund the acquisition of equipment, American Capital either sells the leases that
it originates or borrows the required proceeds from various funding sources on
both a non-recourse and a limited recourse basis. The substantial majority of
American Capital's lessees are businesses operating in the graphic arts and
paper converting industries.

BOULDER CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
 
     Boulder provides lease financing for petroleum retail equipment, including
car washes, fuel dispensers and convenience store operating equipment, to
petroleum retail businesses. Boulder originates leases directly with the owner
of the petroleum retail business, as well as through programs with petroleum
companies, equipment manufacturers and vendors. During the year ended December
31, 1997, car washes constituted approximately 64% of the equipment leased by
Boulder, and fuel dispensers approximately 15%. Boulder originates direct
financing leases and operating leases. After the inception of the lease, Boulder
either retains the lease for its portfolio or, from time to time may transfer
direct financing leases to unrelated third parties in transactions accounted for
as sales while retaining the servicing responsibility. Boulder also engages in
the sale and remarketing of equipment on lease.

CAUFF, LIPPMAN AVIATION, INC.
 
     Cauff Lippman provides operating lease financing for used commercial jet
aircraft and aircraft engines, as well as brokering and advisory services to
domestic and foreign commercial airlines, aircraft lessors and institutional
investors and engages in the purchase and sale of aircraft for its own account.
Cauff Lippman's revenues are derived primarily from rentals of aircraft and sale
and remarketing of aircraft.
 
     Rental income from operating leases is reported over the life of the lease
as rentals become receivable under the provisions of the lease or, in the case
of leases with varying payments, under the straight-line method over the
noncancelable term of the lease. Revenues from commissions include fees and
commissions earned from remarketing on behalf of third parties. Due in part to
the substantial purchase price of aircraft, Cauff Lippman's operating results
can fluctuate significantly, based in part on the timing of sales of aircraft
and commissions on sales of aircraft.

THE NSJ GROUP
 
     NSJ provides lease financing for commercial jet aircraft and jet aircraft
engines to commercial airlines and engages in the purchase and sale of aircraft
for its own account, as well as remarketing activities on behalf of airlines,
financial institutions and other leasing companies. NSJ arranges financing for
each aircraft that it purchases, and either sells the lease to investors on a
non-recourse basis or holds the lease in its portfolio. NSJ acquires aircraft
and aircraft engines for its portfolio with a combination of equity capital and
debt financing.
 
     NSJ's revenues are derived primarily from the sale and remarketing of
aircraft and rentals of aircraft. NSJ's leases are operating leases and revenues
are recognized over the life of the lease as rentals are earned. Revenues from
NSJ's remarketing activities consist primarily of gains on the sale of aircraft
from NSJ's portfolio and also include fees and commissions earned from
remarketing on behalf of third parties. Interest income is derived from notes
receivable and investment of cash. Due in part to the substantial purchase price
of aircraft, NSJ's operating results can fluctuate significantly, based in part
on the timing of sales of aircraft and commissions on sales of aircraft.

THE WALDEN ASSET GROUP, INC.
 
     Walden provides equipment lease financing for a variety of equipment,
including communications, computer and manufacturing equipment, to Fortune 500
and other businesses throughout the United States. Lease transactions are either
held in Walden's portfolio or sold, on a non-recourse basis.
 
     Income generated by leasing activities is comprised of operating lease
revenues and interest income on direct financing leases. Remarketing income
represents fees charged by Walden under agreements with third parties to market
their equipment for re-lease or sale at the end of a lease term. Walden
depreciates equipment on operating leases on a straight-line basis over a
five-year period. Walden finances its lease transactions primarily through
non-recourse debt agreements with several lending institutions.

OVERVIEW
 
     UniCapital was founded in October 1997 to create a national consolidator
and operator of equipment leasing and specialty finance businesses serving the
commercial market. Upon consummation of the Mergers, the Company, through the
Founding Companies, will originate, acquire, sell and service equipment leases
and arrange structured financings in the computer and telecommunications
equipment, large ticket and structured finance, middle market and small ticket
areas of the equipment leasing industry. In addition, one of the Founding
Companies will provide lease administration and processing services for certain
of the leases originated by the Founding Companies, as well as for any
securitizations undertaken by the Company. The Founding Companies' leases and
structured financing arrangements cover a broad range of equipment, including
aircraft, computer and telecommunications equipment, construction and
manufacturing equipment, office equipment, trucks, printing equipment, car
washes and petroleum retail equipment and vending machines. The Company will
fund the acquisition or origination of its leases through warehouse credit
facilities or through recourse or non-recourse financing and will retain the
leases for its own account or sell the leases to third parties. The Company
intends to sell certain of its lease receivables in the public and private
markets through a securitization program. For the year ended December 31, 1997
and the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had pro forma combined
direct financing and sales-type lease originations of approximately $581.4
million and $154.7 million, respectively, pro forma combined income from
operations of $38.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and pro forma
combined net income before extraordinary item of $22.0 million and $8.3 million,
respectively.
 
     The Company's senior management team collectively has more than 70 years of
experience in the acquisition and integration of businesses, lease financing,
securitizations and other structured finance transactions. Robert New, the
Company's co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, previously served as
an operating company president of and an Acquisition Consultant to U.S. Office
Products Company where he participated in over 40 acquisitions. Theodore J.
Rogenski, the Company's Chief Operating Officer, has served as a senior
executive with three national leasing companies, including Chief Operating
Officer of LINC Anthem Corporation and its successor, Newcourt LINC Financial
Inc., and Wells Fargo Leasing Corporation, where he served for ten years as the
President and Chief Executive Officer. Bruce E. Kropschot, the Company's Vice
Chairman -- Mergers and Acquisitions, founded and operated a private mergers and
acquisitions advisory firm which has arranged the sale of over 100 equipment
leasing and specialty finance businesses. Steven E. Hirsch, the Company's
Executive Vice President -- Structured Finance, was the Head of the Leasing
Products Group at Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated where he was involved in
arranging over $30 billion of transactions in structured lease financings,
advising on mergers and acquisitions of leasing companies and securitizations.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
     The equipment leasing and financing industry in the United States has grown
consistently during the last decade and includes a wide range of entities that
provide funding for the purchase or use of equipment. The equipment leasing
industry in the United States is a significant factor in financing capital
expenditures of businesses. The ELA projects that $183 billion of $593 billion
invested in equipment in 1998 will be financed by means of leasing. According to
ELA estimates, from 1996 to 1997, equipment placed on lease grew by
approximately $10 billion from $170 billion to an estimated $180 billion. The
1996 investment in equipment placed on lease represents an increase of
approximately 90% from comparable 1986 data. The ELA estimates that 80% of all
U.S. businesses currently use leasing or financing to acquire capital assets.
The Company believes that leasing helps businesses to more efficiently acquire
capital equipment, receive favorable tax and accounting treatment and avoid or
mitigate the perceived risks of equipment ownership including obsolescence.
 
     The Company believes the equipment leasing industry is a growing business
in part due to (i) the consolidation of the banking industry, which has
eliminated many of the smaller community banks that traditionally provided
equipment financing for small to mid-size businesses, (ii) stricter lending
requirements imposed by commercial banks, (iii) a trend toward rapid credit
approvals at the point of sale made possible by improved technology, and (iv)
the adoption of accounting pronouncements concerning the accounting treatment of
transactions with captive finance company subsidiaries, which has caused a
number of manufacturers to
                                       80
<PAGE>   81
 
eliminate their finance companies, resulting in an increased demand for
independent financing. According to the ELA, two primary factors contributing to
the favorable funding environment experienced by the commercial leasing industry
are a better understanding of the leasing business by bank regulators and a
growing understanding of the leasing industry by the investment community and
the rating agencies.
 
     As a result of the operating efficiencies made possible by advances in
technology and access to the asset-backed securities markets, the Company
believes the larger, better capitalized participants in the equipment leasing
market will have opportunities to consolidate a portion of the market. The
Company believes this consolidation will be driven by: (i) the highly fragmented
nature of the equipment leasing industry; (ii) the need for reductions in the
cost of funds to remain competitive, which will require market participants to
access capital through securitizations or other low cost sources of funds; (iii)
the need for productivity gains and reductions in overhead as a percentage of
revenues by increasing the size of lease portfolios; and (iv) the increased cost
of new technologies that may not be accessible to small to mid-size market
participants due to the relatively high cost.
 
STRATEGY
 
     The Company's goal is to become a leading consolidator and operator of
equipment leasing and speciality finance businesses. Key elements of the
Company's strategy include:
 
     PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. The Company intends to capitalize upon
consolidation opportunities in the U.S. equipment leasing industry by pursuing
selective acquisitions. The Company will focus upon opportunities that
complement its existing equipment leasing and commercial specialty finance
businesses as well as opportunities that facilitate entry into new market
segments. The Company's senior management team has significant experience in the
acquisition and integration of businesses, including leasing companies, and
Jonathan J. Ledecky, the Company's co-founder and a director, has considerable
experience consolidating private businesses into publicly-held entities. Mr.
Ledecky has founded or co-founded three publicly-held companies, U.S. Office
Products Company, U.S.A. Floral Products, Inc. and Consolidation Capital
Corporation, each of which has implemented a consolidation strategy.
 
     PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO CAPITAL AT LOWER COST. The Company believes that,
due to its pro forma combined lease originations, the diversification of its
portfolio and the experience of its senior management team, it will be able to
provide increased sources of capital at a lower cost to the Founding Companies.
The Company expects to benefit from increased access to capital from both public
and private sources by utilizing traditional credit facilities and accessing
public and private capital through securitizations. The Company believes that
the effective interest rate obtained on borrowings by the Founding Companies
individually is higher than the interest rate that could be obtained by an
entity with the aggregate size of the Company. In addition to the anticipated
ability to lower the Founding Companies' cost of funds, the Company believes
that increased access to capital will allow the Founding Companies to generate
an increased volume of lease originations and develop new lease product
offerings.
 
     ACHIEVE OPERATING EFFICIENCIES. The Company believes that it will be able
to increase the operating efficiency of and achieve certain synergies among the
Founding Companies as well as any subsequently acquired businesses. For example,
one of the Founding Companies, Portfolio Financial Servicing Company, L.P.,
provides servicing and administration for equipment leases and loan portfolios.
After the Mergers, the Company intends to transfer to PFSC, where appropriate,
certain servicing functions currently performed by the Founding Companies. The
Company will also seek to combine certain other administrative functions, such
as accounting and finance, treasury, insurance, employee benefits, strategic
marketing and legal support, at the corporate level, and to institute a
Company-wide management information system. The Company believes the integration
of these functions will enable the Founding Companies to focus on their core
business of lease origination as well as enable the Company to operate in a more
efficient and cost-effective manner.
 
     EXPAND PRODUCTS AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES. The Company believes that the
diversity among the Founding Companies within the equipment leasing industry,
together with the size and geographic breadth of the Company,
 
                                       81
<PAGE>   82
 
can create significant opportunities to increase the volume and type of lease
products and service offerings. The Company plans to expand existing programs,
such as equipment vendor and manufacturer programs, pursue cross-selling
opportunities among the Founding Companies and any subsequently acquired
entities, and develop new products and service offerings. The Company believes
potential opportunities include national expansion of products currently offered
by certain of the Founding Companies on a local or regional basis and leveraging
the expertise of certain of the Founding Companies to enhance the Company's
customer service and off-lease asset remarketing capabilities. In addition, the
Company intends to market products and services under the name UniCapital to
establish name recognition and create a brand image while maintaining the
identity and associated goodwill of each of the Founding Companies.
 
     OPERATE WITH DECENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT.  The Company plans to conduct its
operations using a decentralized management approach through which individual
management teams, consisting primarily of current executive officers of the
Founding Companies, will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
Founding Companies as well as for helping to identify additional acquisition
candidates in their respective markets. At the same time, a Company-wide team of
senior management will provide the Founding Companies with strategic oversight
and guidance with respect to acquisitions, credit, financing, marketing and
operations. As part of this strategy, the Company intends to foster a culture of
cooperation and teamwork that emphasizes dissemination of "best practices" among
its local management teams. The Company believes stock ownership and incentive
compensation will help to align the objectives of local management with those of
the Company, and that a decentralized management philosophy will result in
better customer service by allowing local management the flexibility to
implement policies and make decisions based on the needs of their customers.

<PAGE>   85
 
     customers. The contract sizes range from under $10,000 to over $30 million.
     During 1997, PFSC was the servicer for 14 securitization pools, including
     12 pools for which PFSC was the primary servicer. PFSC derives its revenue
     from servicing fees, including set-up, monthly and conversion fees. For the
     year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998,
     PFSC had total revenues of approximately $1.5 million and $0.4 million,
     respectively. PFSC employs 51 persons and maintains an office in Portland,
     Oregon. The Company intends to utilize PFSC to provide lease administration
     and processing services for certain of the leases originated by the
     Founding Companies or by entities that may hereafter be acquired by the
     Company, as well as for any securitizations undertaken by the Company.
     UniCapital has entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party to
     negotiate a possible sale by UniCapital of all or a portion of PFSC's
     existing business of servicing the portfolios of leasing companies other
     than affiliates of UniCapital. No definitive agreement to sell such
     business has been reached, nor have any of the material terms of such
     agreement been determined. UniCapital believes that any such sale would not
     adversely affect PFSC's capacity to service leases of the Founding
     Companies or of any other entities that may hereafter be acquired by the
     Company.
 
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
 
     The Company provides lease financing and related services to a broad range
of commercial customers. The Company originates direct financing leases,
sales-type leases and operating leases. In addition to financing equipment
through leases, the Company sells new equipment and provides lease- and
equipment-related services, such as servicing, brokering and remarketing, which
is the sale of equipment that has come off lease.
 
     Direct Financing Leases.  A significant portion of the Company's leases are
direct financing leases, which transfer substantially all of the benefits and
risks of equipment ownership to the lessees. A lease is classified as a direct
financing lease if the collection of the minimum lease payments is reasonably
predictable, no significant uncertainties exist relating to unreimbursable costs
yet to be incurred by the lessor under the lease and the lease meets one of the
following criteria: (i) ownership of the property is transferred to the lessee
at the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains a bargain purchase option;
(iii) the term of the lease is at least equal to 75% of the estimated economic
life of the leased equipment; or (iv) the present value of the minimum lease
payments is at least equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased equipment at
the inception of the lease.
 
     Sales-Type Leases.  Sales-type leases, like direct financing leases,
transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of equipment ownership to
the lessees. However, sales-type leases include profit at lease inception to the
extent the fair value of the equipment exceeds the Company's carrying value. A
lease is classified as a sales-type lease if the collection of the minimum lease
payments is reasonably predictable, no significant uncertainties exist relating
to unreimbursable costs yet to be incurred by the lessor under the lease and the
lease meets one of the following criteria: (i) ownership of the property is
transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains
a bargain purchase option; (iii) the term of the lease is at least equal to 75%
of the estimated economic life of the leased equipment; or (iv) the present
value of the minimum lease payments is at least equal to 90% of the fair value
of the leased equipment at the inception of the lease.
 
     Operating Leases.  All lease contracts which do not meet the criteria of
direct financing leases or sales-type leases are accounted for as operating
leases.
 
     Some of the Founding Companies use master lease agreements as a means to
establish an ongoing relationship with customers. Once a master lease has been
negotiated and entered into, the lease of a particular piece of equipment is
documented by a schedule to that lease, thereby facilitating the fast and
efficient funding of a lease.
 
     In general, the Company's lease transactions are net leases with a
specified noncancelable lease term. The leases include a "hell-or-high-water"
provision which requires the lessee to make all lease payments under all
circumstances and which requires the lessee to maintain the equipment, pay all
property, sales and use taxes and insure the equipment against casualty loss.
 
                                       85
<PAGE>   86
 
RESIDUAL INTEREST IN EQUIPMENT
 
     The Company retains a residual interest in the equipment covered by many of
its leases. The Company generally seeks to determine the best remarketing plan
for such equipment prior to the expiration of the lease. In many cases, the
remarketing plan provides for the continuation of the lease or the negotiated
sale of the underlying equipment.
 
CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
 
     The Company will employ underwriting policies and procedures that are
intended to minimize the risk of delinquencies and credit losses. The Company
has hired a corporate credit officer and will have a Credit Committee that will
establish overall corporate credit guidelines and individual guidelines tailored
to the business of each Founding Company. The corporate credit officer will
review a sample of credit decisions made by each Founding Company to ensure
compliance with corporate credit guidelines and may also make credit decisions
for those transactions which exceed the credit approval authority of the
Founding Company. The Company's credit underwriting policies will include
specific criteria for those leases that the Company intends to securitize.
 
     The credit approval process generally takes place at the Founding Company
level and includes a review of financial statements, a credit report, and,
depending upon the size of the proposed transaction and the business, credit
references and a review of the personal credit of the principals of the
business. The Company anticipates utilizing a credit scoring model for approving
credits on small ticket leases. Proposed transactions which are not within the
credit parameters authorized for the Founding Company originating the lease,
must be reviewed by the corporate credit officer or the Credit Committee.
 
     The Founding Companies have developed collection procedures designed to
identify accounts experiencing payment problems quickly and, if necessary, take
action to preserve the Founding Companies' equity interest in the equipment.
Generally, when payments are past due, the Founding Companies send a notice of
delinquency and charge a late fee to the lessee. After the Mergers, the Company
will transfer certain servicing and collection functions to PFSC. See
"-- Servicing, Collection and Administration."
 
SERVICING, COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION
 
     The Company anticipates that upon consummation of the Mergers, PFSC, will
provide servicing, collection and administration services for certain of the
leases originated by the Founding Companies. PFSC has the capability to provide
transaction processing and management services for each lease contract, from the
time it is originated through its termination, including set-up, billing, cash
posting, customer service, accounting, collection, tax compliance and asset
management. PFSC will also be the service provider for the Company's
securitizations. PFSC's service offerings include lien searches, UCC filings,
asset tracking, insurance tracking, preparation of sales, use and property tax
returns, invoicing and collections. Currently, PFSC services approximately
14,400 contracts for 14 customers, with contract sizes ranging from under
$10,000 to over $30 million. During 1997, PFSC was a servicer for 14
securitization pools, including 12 pools for which PFSC was the primary
servicer. UniCapital has entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party
to negotiate a possible sale by UniCapital of all or a portion of PFSC's
existing business of servicing the portfolios of leasing companies other than
affiliates of UniCapital. No definitive agreement to sell such business has been
reached, nor have any of the material terms of such agreement been determined.
UniCapital believes that any such sale would not adversely affect PFSC's
capacity to service leases of the Founding Companies or of any other entities
that may hereafter be acquired by UniCapital.
 
     The Company will determine, on a company-by-company and
customer-by-customer basis, whether to transfer the servicing functions
performed by the Founding Companies, and any subsequently acquired businesses,
to PFSC. The Company expects that it will transfer the servicing and collection
function to PFSC in those circumstances in which the Company anticipates that
the transfer will not have a significant adverse effect on servicing,
collections or customer relations.

SALES AND MARKETING
 
     Each of the Founding Companies employs sales representatives to originate
leases. Sales and marketing efforts are conducted on a one-on-one basis with
established accounts, through equipment manufacturers and vendors and also
through advertising, participation in trade associations and telesales. The
Founding Companies employ an aggregate of approximately 119 salespersons. Most
of the salespersons are compensated on a commission basis or through other
incentive-based compensation programs. After the Mergers, the Company expects
that each Founding Company will continue to operate its business using its
current name. In addition, the Company intends to market products and services
under the name UniCapital to establish name recognition and create a brand image
while maintaining the identity and associated goodwill of each of the Founding
Companies.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The financing of equipment is highly competitive. The Company competes for
customers with a number of national, regional and local finance companies. In
addition, the Company's competitors include those equipment manufacturers that
finance the sale or lease of their products themselves and other traditional
types of financial services companies, such as commercial banks and savings and
loan associations, all of which provide financing for the purchase of equipment.
Many of the Company's competitors and potential competitors possess
substantially greater financial, marketing and operational resources than the
Company. The Company's competitors and potential competitors include many
larger, more established companies which may have a lower cost of funds than the
Company and access to capital markets and to other funding sources which may be
unavailable to the Company.
 
     Competition in the equipment lease finance market is based primarily on
lease rates, terms, reliability in meeting commitments, customer service and
market presence. Although the Company expects that credit facilities, sales of
leases and securitizations will have the effect of making capital available at a
cost which will allow the Company to offer competitive lease rates, the Company
may not be successful in completing future securitizations, or any such
securitizations may not result in increased proceeds to the Company from lease
sales. The Company will continue to encounter significant competition, and the
Company may not be able to compete effectively in its chosen market segments or
any new market segments which the Company enters.
 
FACILITIES
 
     The Company's corporate offices are located in leased space at 1111 Kane
Concourse, Bay Harbor Island, Florida 33154. The telephone number of its
principal executive offices is (305) 861-0603.
 
     In addition to its corporate offices, upon consummation of the Mergers the
Company will lease the following facilities (except for the Farmington Hills,
Michigan headquarters of Varilease which the Company will acquire in connection
with the Varilease Merger):

employees, primarily engaged in mergers and acquisitions, finance and
accounting, and administration. The Company anticipates that such consultants

approximately 341 were full-time employees and approximately 15 were part-time
employees. Approximately 126 employees were engaged in operations, 119 were

employees are good.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
     The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     Although most states do not regulate the equipment financing business,
certain states require licensing of lenders and financiers, impose limitations
on interest rates and other charges, mandate adequate disclosure of certain
contract terms and constrain certain collection practices and creditor remedies.

                                       91

Company or any of its subsidiaries. The purpose of the Executive Plan is to
promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by (i) attracting and
retaining employees, consultants and advisors of outstanding ability, (ii)
motivating such persons, by means of performance-related incentives, to achieve
longer-range performance goals, and (iii) enabling such persons to participate
in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.
 
     Administration. The Executive Plan is to be administered by a committee of
the Board (the "Committee"). The Board has designated the Compensation Committee
of the Board to serve as the Committee that administers the Executive Plan.
After the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part, the Committee must at all times consist of two or more persons,
each of whom qualifies as an "outside director" within the meaning of Section
162(m) or any successor provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, if such
qualification is deemed necessary in order for the grant or the exercise of
awards made under the Executive Plan to qualify for any tax or other material
benefit to participants or the Company under applicable law.
 
     Shares Available.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which
awards may be granted under the Executive Plan is 500,000 shares. After the
effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part, no participant in the Executive Plan will be granted awards in respect of
more than 100,000 shares of Common Stock in any calendar year. The Common Stock
to be offered under the Executive Plan will be authorized but unissued Common
Stock, or issued Common Stock which will have been reacquired by the Company and
held in its treasury. As of the date of this Prospectus, awards of options to
purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock had been made under the
Executive Plan.
 
     Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.  The Common Stock covered by any
unexercised portion of terminated stock options granted under the Executive Plan
cannot again be subject to new awards under the Executive Plan. In the event the
purchase price of a stock option is paid in whole or in part through the
delivery of Common Stock, only the net number of shares of Common Stock issuable
in connection with the exercise of the stock option will be counted against the
number of shares remaining available for the grant of awards under the Executive
Plan.
 
     Adjustments.  The number of shares subject to outstanding options under the
Executive Plan, the exercise price of such stock options and the number of
shares available for stock options subsequently granted under the Executive Plan
will be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in
capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon the Executive Plan or the
awards granted under the Executive Plan.
 
     Awards.  The Committee will have discretion to grant awards under the
Executive Plan to employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, provided that such consultants or advisors render
bona fide services which are not in connection with the offer or sale of
securities in a capital-raising transaction. The Committee will determine those
individuals who will receive awards and the number of shares of Common Stock to
be covered by each award. Discretionary Awards shall be in the form of stock
options which do not and are not intended to meet the requirements of Section
422 of the Code ("Nonqualified Options").
 
     Terms and Conditions of Awards.  The Committee will determine the terms and
conditions of each award, including the exercise price (which may be less than
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant). Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, all rights to exercise options under
Discretionary Awards will terminate on the first to occur of (i) the scheduled
expiration date as set forth in the applicable stock option agreement, (ii)
thirty days following the date of termination of employment for any reason other
than death or permanent disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant
or (iii) one year following the date of termination of employment by reason of
the participant's death or permanent disability. The exercise price of all stock
options granted under the Executive Plan will be payable in cash or in such
other form of considerations as the Committee may approve in the applicable
option agreement, including, without limitation, (i) by the delivery to the
Company by the participant of a promissory note containing such terms as the
Committee may determine, (ii) by the delivery to the Company by the participant
of shares of Common Stock that have been held by the
 
                                       92
<PAGE>   93
 
participant for at least six months prior to exercise of the option, valued at
the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise or (iii) pursuant
to a cashless exercise arrangement with a broker. Options awarded under the
Executive Plan are transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution,
or to the extent determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable
option agreement. Options granted under the Executive Plan may be exercised by
the participant or by any permitted transferee.
 
     Consequences of Change of Control.  Upon a "Change of Control" (as defined
in the Executive Plan), each outstanding option granted under the Executive Plan
shall automatically accelerate vesting and become immediately exercisable in
full, unless the option is, in connection with the Change of Control, either
assumed by the "Acquiring Corporation" (as defined in the Executive Plan) or
parent thereof in connection with the Change of Control or replaced with a
comparable option to purchase shares of the capital stock of the Acquiring
Corporation or parent thereof. Assumed or replaced options held by an employee
whose employment with the Company or the Acquiring Corporation is terminated
without "cause" (as defined in the Executive Plan) or who resigns for "good
reason" (as defined in the Executive Plan) in the period beginning upon the
Change of Control and ending 12 months following the Change of Control will
become immediately exercisable upon the date of such termination or resignation
of employment. The Executive Plan provides that no action described in the
Executive Plan, including any acceleration of vesting, shall be taken that would
make a Change of Control ineligible for "pooling of interest" accounting
treatment or that would make a Change of Control ineligible for desired tax
treatment if, in the absence of such action, the Change of Control would qualify
for such treatment and if the Company intends to use such treatment with respect
to such Change of Control.
 
     Withholding Obligations.  The Company has the right to deduct from a
participant's salary, bonus or other compensation any taxes required by law to
be withheld with respect to awards made under the Executive Plan. In the
Committee's discretion, a participant may be permitted to elect to have withheld
from the shares otherwise issuable to the participant, or to tender to the
Company, the number of shares of Common Stock whose fair market value equals the
amount required to be withheld.
 
     Amendment and Termination.  The Board may, by resolution, amend or revise
the Executive Plan. Such action will not be effective without stockholder
approval if such approval is required to maintain the compliance of the
Executive Plan and/or awards granted to directors, executive officers or other
persons with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934,
as amended, or any successor rule. The Board may not modify any options
previously granted under the Executive Plan in a manner adverse to the holders
thereof without the consent of such holders (other than such adjustments
required to reflect capital changes). The Executive Plan will terminate on
November 13, 2007, unless it is earlier terminated by the Board. Termination of
the Executive Plan will not affect awards previously granted under the Executive
Plan.
 
1998 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have
approved the UniCapital Corporation 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"),
under which awards of options to acquire shares of Common Stock may be made to
employees, directors (other than non-employee directors who receive options
under the Company's 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan), consultants and
advisors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The purpose of the LTIP is
to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by (i) attracting
and retaining employees, consultants and advisors of outstanding ability, (ii)
motivating such persons, by means of performance-related incentives, to achieve
longer-range performance goals, and (iii) enabling such persons to participate
in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company.
 
     Administration.  The LTIP is to be administered by a Committee, which the
Board has designated to be the Compensation Committee. After the effective date
of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the
Committee must at all times consist of two or more persons, each of whom
qualifies as an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) or any
successor provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, if such qualification
is deemed necessary in order for the grant or the exercise of awards made under
the LTIP to qualify for any tax or other material benefit to participants or the
Company under applicable law.

                                       93
<PAGE>   94
 
     Shares Available.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock as to which
awards may be granted under the LTIP is equal to 15% of the total number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. After the effective date
of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, no
participant in the LTIP will be granted awards in respect of more than 500,000
shares of Common Stock in any calendar year. The Common Stock to be offered
under the LTIP will be authorized but unissued Common Stock, or issued Common
Stock which will have been reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury.
As of the date of this Prospectus, no awards of options had been made under the
LTIP.
 
     Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.  The Common Stock covered by any
unexercised portion of terminated stock options granted under the LTIP may again
be subject to new awards under the LTIP. In the event the purchase price of a
stock option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of Common Stock,
only the net number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the
exercise of the stock option will be counted against the number of shares
remaining available for the grant of awards under the LTIP.
 
     Adjustments.  The number of shares subject to outstanding options under the
LTIP, the exercise price of such stock options and the number of shares
available for stock options subsequently granted under the LTIP will be
appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, combination
or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in capitalization
with a similar substantive effect upon the LTIP or the awards granted under the
LTIP.
 
     Discretionary Awards.  The Committee will have discretion to grant awards
under the LTIP to employees, directors, consultants or advisors of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, provided that such consultants or advisors render
bona fide services which are not in connection with the offer or sale of
securities in a capital-raising transaction. The Committee will determine those
individuals who will receive discretionary awards and the number of shares of
Common Stock to be covered by each discretionary award. Discretionary awards may
be in the form of stock options meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code ("Incentive Stock Options") or Nonqualified Options which do not meet such
requirements. The maximum number of shares as to which Incentive Stock Options
may be granted under the LTIP is 5,000,000.
 
     Terms and Conditions of Discretionary Awards.  The Committee will determine
the terms and conditions of each Discretionary Award, provided that (i)
Discretionary Awards will be granted at an exercise price of not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of the
fair market value in the case of a grant of Incentive Stock Options) to a
participant who at the time of such grant owns (within the meaning of Section
424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock or
the Company (a "10% Holder"), (ii) the period within which a Discretionary Award
may be exercised will not exceed ten years from the date of grant (five years in
the case of a grant of Incentive Stock Options to a 10% Holder), and (iii) the
aggregate fair market value (determined on the date of grant) of Common Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to a participant under the
LTIP or any other plan of the Company and its subsidiaries become exercisable
for the first time in any single calendar year will not exceed $100,000. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, all rights to exercise options under
Discretionary Awards will terminate on the first to occur of (i) the scheduled
expiration date as set forth in the applicable stock option agreement, (ii)
thirty days following the date of termination of employment for any reason other
than death or permanent disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant
or (iii) one year following the date of termination of employment by reason of
the participant's death or permanent disability.
 
     Withholding Obligations.  The Company has the right to deduct from a
participant's salary, bonus or other compensation any taxes required by law to
be withheld with respect to awards made under the LTIP. In the Committee's
discretion, a participant may be permitted to elect to have withheld from the
shares otherwise issuable to the participant, or to tender to the Company, the
number of shares of Common Stock whose fair market value equals the amount
required to be withheld.
 
     Amendment and Termination.  The Board may, by resolution, amend or revise
the LTIP. Such action will not be effective without stockholder approval if such
approval is required to maintain the compliance of the LTIP and/or awards
granted to directors, executive officers or other persons with Rule 16b-3
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended, or any
successor rule. The Board may not modify any options
 
                                       94
<PAGE>   95
 
previously granted under the LTIP in a manner adverse to the holders thereof
without the consent of such holders (other than such adjustments required to
reflect capital changes). The LTIP will terminate on the tenth anniversary of
the effective date of the LTIP, unless it is earlier terminated by the Board.
Termination of the LTIP will not affect awards previously granted under the
LTIP.
 
1998 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK PLAN
 
     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have
approved the UniCapital Corporation 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan (the
"Directors' Plan"), under which awards of options to acquire shares of Common
Stock will be made automatically to non-employee directors. The purpose of the
Directors' Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders
by enabling non-employee directors, who are ineligible to participate in the
LTIP, to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the
Company.
 
     Shares Available.  Awards under the Directors' Plan may be granted as to a
maximum of 500,000 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock to be offered under
the Directors' Plan will be authorized but unissued Common Stock, or issued
Common Stock which will have been reacquired by the Company and held in its
treasury. As of the date of this Prospectus, no awards of options had been made
under the Directors' Plan.
 
     Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.  The Common Stock covered by any
unexercised portion of terminated stock options granted under the Directors'
Plan may again be subject to new awards under the Directors' Plan. In the event
the purchase price of a stock option is paid in whole or in part through the
delivery of Common Stock, only the net number of shares of Common Stock issuable
in connection with the exercise of the stock option will be counted against the
number of shares remaining available for the grant of awards under the
Directors' Plan.
 
     Adjustments.  The number of shares subject to outstanding options under the
Directors' Plan, the exercise price of such stock options and the number of
shares available for stock options subsequently granted under the Directors'
Plan will be appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other change in
capitalization with a similar substantive effect upon the Directors' Plan or the
awards granted under the Directors' Plan.
 
     Initial Awards.  Each non-employee director as of the effective date of the
registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, and each
individual who is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary and who is a
member of the Board after that date, will receive a Nonqualified Option to
purchase 21,000 shares of Common Stock on the later of the effective date of the
registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part or the date of his
or her election to the Board (an "Initial Award"). Initial Awards will become
immediately exercisable in full on the date of grant.
 
     Annual Awards.  Each person who is a member of the Board immediately
preceding the annual meeting of stockholders in each year beginning in 1999 (the
"Annual Meeting Date") will receive a Nonqualified Option to purchase 6,000
shares of Common Stock (an "Annual Award") on the Annual Meeting Date. Annual
Awards will be immediately exercisable in full.
 
     Terms and Conditions of Automatic Awards.  The exercise price of each
Initial Award and each Annual Award will be the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. The term of each Initial Grant and each Annual Grant
will be ten years. All rights to exercise options will terminate on the first to
occur of (i) the scheduled expiration date of such option or (ii) one year
following the date of termination of service as a director.
 
     Withholding Obligations.  The Company has the right to deduct from a
participant's salary, bonus or other compensation any taxes required by law to
be withheld with respect to awards made under the Directors' Plan. In the
Committee's discretion, a participant may be permitted to elect to have withheld
from the shares otherwise issuable to the participant, or to tender to the
Company, the number of shares of Common Stock whose fair market value equals the
amount required to be withheld.
 
                                       95
<PAGE>   96
 
     Amendment and Termination.  The Board may, by resolution, amend or revise
the Directors' Plan. Such action will not be effective without stockholder
approval if such approval is required to maintain the compliance of the
Directors' Plan and/or awards granted to directors, executive officers or other
persons with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934,
as amended, or any successor rule. The Board may not modify any options
previously granted under the Directors' Plan in a manner adverse to the holders
thereof without the consent of such holders (other than such adjustments
required to reflect capital changes). The Directors' Plan will terminate on the
tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Directors' Plan, unless it is
earlier terminated by the Board. Termination of the Directors' Plan will not
affect awards previously granted under the Directors' Plan.
 
1998 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
 
     The Company's Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have
approved the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). The
Purchase Plan will permit eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries
(generally all full-time employees who have completed one year of service) to
purchase shares of Common Stock at a discount. Employees who elect to
participate will have amounts withheld through payroll deduction during purchase
periods. At the end of each purchase period, accumulated payroll deductions will
be used to purchase stock at a price equal to 85% of the market price at the
beginning of the period or the end of the period, whichever is lower. Stock
purchased under the Purchase Plan will be subject to a six-month holding period.
The Company has reserved 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the
Purchase Plan.
 
     The Purchase Plan will remain in effect until terminated by the Board. The
Purchase Plan may be amended by the Board without the consent of the
stockholders of the Company, except that any amendment, although effective when
made, will be subject to stockholder approval if required by any federal or
state law or regulation or by the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which the Common Stock may then be listed or quoted.
 
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
 
     As of the date of this Prospectus, it is contemplated that the Company will
grant stock options under the LTIP to purchase 1,933,223 shares of Common Stock
(which equals 6.25% of the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Mergers
divided by the initial public offering price of $19.00 per share). See
"Formation of the Company" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions -- The Mergers." The exercise price of such options shall be $19.00
per share. The options granted pursuant to the Merger Agreements will vest 25%
each on the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. Options granted to
Jonathan Ledecky and Robert New and Initial Awards under the Directors' Plan
shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable on the date of grant. All such
options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. In addition,
it is contemplated that Initial Grants will be made under the Directors' Plan
upon the effective date of the registration statement of which
 
                                       96

Consulting Agreement and the Employment Agreement contemplated thereby include a
two-year post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation provision that
restrains Mr. Kalb from engaging in, directly or indirectly, any "Competing
Business" (as defined in the Consulting Agreement and the Employment Agreement).
If Mr. Kalb's employment is terminated without cause after his term of

ORGANIZATION OF UNICAPITAL
 
     UniCapital was incorporated in Delaware in October 1997 as a holding
company to acquire and operate equipment leasing and specialty finance
businesses serving the commercial market. As of March 31, 1998, UniCapital had
issued 6,798,750 shares of Common Stock for cash or notes to its co-founders,
management and certain other investors, including 2,115,000 shares to Robert
New, its co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 200,000 shares to
Theodore J. Rogenski, Chief Operating Officer, 470,000 shares to Bruce E.
Kropschot, Vice Chairman -- Mergers & Acquisitions, 412,500 shares to Martin
Kalb, Executive Vice President and General Counsel, or to entities over which
Mr. Kalb has control, 190,000 shares to Jonathan New, Chief Financial Officer,
315,000 shares to Steven E. Hirsch, Executive Vice President -- Structured
Finance, and 2,115,000 shares to Jonathan J. Ledecky, its co-founder and a
director of the Company. Subsequent to the Mergers and the Offering, the
co-founders of UniCapital will own beneficially in the aggregate approximately
8.8% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
 
THE MERGERS
 
     Simultaneously with and as a condition to the consummation of the Offering,
UniCapital will acquire in 12 separate transactions all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock and partnership interests of each of the Founding
Companies for an aggregate consideration of $584.9 million, which consists of:
(i) $331.6 million in cash to be paid to the stockholders of the Founding
Companies; and (ii) 13,334,064 shares of Common Stock, with an estimated fair
value of $253.3 million, to be issued to the stockholders of the Founding
Companies. In addition, the Company may make additional payments to the
stockholders of the Founding Companies (other than PFSC), in cash and Common
Stock, based upon increases in the operating income of the Founding Companies
(i.e., the amount by which each Founding Company's adjusted pre-tax income
exceeds such Founding Company's pre-tax income, adjusted to reflect the
differential expenses expected to be realized when operated in a manner
consistent with that of a public company, for the prior year) for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 (and, in the case of Boulder, Cauff Lippman and
NSJ, the year ended December 31, 2000). In addition, the Company will repay
indebtedness of Jacom totaling approximately $32.3 million incurred to fund an S
Corporation distribution to the stockholder of Jacom immediately prior to the
Jacom Merger, indebtedness of Merrimac totaling $2.8 million assumed in the
Merrimac Merger and approximately $110.0 million of certain recourse
indebtedness of the Founding Companies to be assumed by the Company in the
Mergers. Following the consummation of the Mergers, the aggregate long-term
indebtedness of the Company will include the debt of the Founding Companies
which, as of March 31, 1998, was approximately $339.6 million. The purchase
price for each Founding Company was determined based on negotiations between
UniCapital and that Founding Company. The factors considered by the parties in
determining the purchase price included, among other factors, cash flows,
historical operating results, growth rates and business prospects of the
Founding Companies. With the exception of the consideration to be paid to the
stockholders of each of the Founding Companies, including the earn-out
arrangements, the acquisition of each Founding Company is subject to
substantially the same terms and conditions as those to which the acquisition of
each other Founding Company is

(1) Does not include $32.3 million of indebtedness incurred to fund an S
    Corporation distribution to the stockholder of Jacom immediately prior to
    the Jacom Merger, which indebtedness will be repaid by the Company upon
    consummation of the Jacom Merger from a portion of the net proceeds of the
    Offering.
 
(2) Does not include $2.8 million in indebtedness assumed by the Company in the
    Merrimac Merger, which indebtedness will be repaid by the Company upon
    consummation of the Merrimac Merger from a portion of the net proceeds of
    the Offering.
 
     The consummation of each Merger Agreement is contingent upon the
consummation of the Offering and the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions. The Merger Agreements provide that options to purchase a number of
shares of Common Stock, equal to 6.25% of the Merger consideration received
(which includes the cash and Common Stock portion of the Merger consideration),
based on the initial public offering price, shall be made available to employees
of the Founding Companies. The options will have an exercise price equal to the
initial public offering price per share, with respect to options granted as of
the consummation of the Offering, and the fair market value as of the date of
grant, with respect to options granted thereafter, and will vest ratably over a
four-year period, beginning on the anniversary of the date of the grant. The
Merger Agreements further provide that the stockholders of the Founding
Companies will indemnify UniCapital from certain liabilities that may arise in
connection with the Mergers. A portion of the consideration payable to the
stockholders of each of the Founding Companies will be escrowed for a period of
twelve months from the consummation of the Offering, as security for the
stockholders' indemnification obligations. The Merger Agreements provide that
the stockholders of the Founding Companies covenant not to compete with the
Company and its affiliates for a period of two years from the date of the
Merger. Each of the Merger Agreements provides that UniCapital and certain key
employees of each of the Founding Companies will enter into employment
agreements. The following summaries of the Merger Agreements are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the complete texts of the Merger Agreements,
which are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus forms a part and are incorporated herein by reference.

                                       101
<PAGE>   102
 
1998 is less than for the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the
baseline for comparison will be the year ended December 31, 1997). Each of
Michael Pandolfelli, the President of American Capital, and Gerald P. Ennella,
the Executive Vice President of American Capital, will enter into a two-year
employment agreement with the subsidiary of the Company that will operate the
American Capital business after the Merger and a two-year, post-employment
covenant not to compete with the Company.

     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Boulder for: (i)
$7.1 million in cash and (ii) 371,053 shares of Common Stock; provided that for
every $1.00 by which the adjusted pre-tax income of Boulder for the year ended

December 31, 1997, the stockholders of Boulder will repay to UniCapital $6.00,
in Common Stock valued at the initial public offering price per share, up to a
maximum of $3.6 million. In addition, UniCapital will pay additional
consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in Common Stock equal to (i) 50% of any
increase in Boulder's adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31,
1998 over the year ended December 31, 1997; and (ii) 50% of any increase in

pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted pre-tax
income for the year ended December 31, 1998 is less than for the year ended
December 31, 1997, in which case the baseline for comparison will be the year
ended December 31, 1997). In addition, as part of the Boulder Merger, UniCapital
will acquire Boulder's interest in certain new vendor programs and a real estate
venture and will pay additional consideration, 50% in cash and 50% in Common
Stock equal to (i) the pre-tax income of Boulder attributable to such new vendor
programs and Boulder's interest in the real estate venture for each of the years
ending December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 and (ii) three times Boulder's interest
in the average pre-tax income of the real estate venture for the years ending
December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000. Roy Burger, the President of Boulder, will
enter into a two-year employment agreement with the subsidiary of the Company
that will operate the Boulder business after the Merger and a two-year,
post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company.
 
     Mr. Burger is the lender under a revolving credit agreement with Boulder
that permits Boulder to borrow up to $200,000 as of December 31, 1997. Interest
on the amount outstanding under the credit agreement accrues at an annual rate
equal to the prime rate plus one percent. On August 15, 1997, Boulder repaid the
outstanding principal balance, plus interest, in the aggregate amount of
$211,668. As of December 31, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under the credit
agreement. As of the consummation of the Merger, any amounts due under the
credit agreement will have been repaid and the credit agreement will have been

  CAUFF LIPPMAN
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Cauff Lippman for:
(i) $48.0 million in cash and (ii) 1,684,210 shares of Common Stock. In

"Big Ticket Leasing Division" (defined as Cauff Lippman and NSJ for the period
from January 1, 1998 through the date of consummation of the Mergers, and
thereafter as Cauff Lippman, NSJ and other operating subsidiaries of the Company
that conduct the business conducted by Cauff Lippman and NSJ prior to the
consummation of the Mergers) for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and
2000. The Merger Agreement provides for such

                                       102
<PAGE>   103
 
additional consideration to be paid in three possible payments: (i) $13.3
million if the adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for
the year ended December 31, 1998 exceeds $19.0 million; (ii) an additional $13.3
million if the adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for
the year ended December 31, 1999, plus the excess of the adjusted pre-tax income
of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended December 31, 1998 over
$26.7 million, exceeds $19.0 million; and (iii) a third $13.3 million if the
adjusted pre-tax income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended
December 31, 2000, plus the excess of the adjusted pre-tax income of the Big
Ticket Leasing Division for the year ended December 31, 1999 over $26.7 million,
exceeds $19.0 million; provided, that if the aggregate amount paid under clauses
(i) and (ii) is less than $26.7 million and if the aggregate adjusted pre-tax
income of the Big Ticket Leasing Division for the three years ended December 31,
2000 equals or exceeds $56.9 million, then the payment under clause (iii) will
equal $40.0 million minus the amounts paid under clauses (i) and (ii). Stuart
Cauff, the President of Cauff Lippman will become the President and CEO of
UniCapital's Big Ticket Leasing Division and will enter into a three-year
employment agreement with the Company and a subsidiary of the Company that will
operate the Cauff Lippman business after the Merger and a two-year,
post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company (subject to certain
limited exceptions). Wayne Lippman, the Vice President of Cauff Lippman will
become the Executive Vice President of UniCapital's Big Ticket Leasing Division
and will enter into a three-year employment agreement with the Company and a
subsidiary of the Company that will operate the Cauff Lippman business after the
Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not to compete with the Company
(subject to certain limited exceptions).
 
     In addition to Cauff Lippman, Messrs. Cauff and Lippman are involved in
other entities with interests in the aircraft leasing business which are not
part of Cauff Lippman and are not being acquired in the Merger. In connection
with the Merger Agreement, however, Messrs. Cauff and Lippman have granted the
Company the option to purchase their interests in some or all of such entities,
for the following purchase prices: (i) Jumbo Jet Leasing LP and Jumbo Jet,
Inc. -- $1.0 million: (ii) CL Aircraft Marketing LP and CL Aircraft Marketing,
Inc. -- $4.0 million; (iii) Twin Jet Leasing, Inc and Aircraft 49402,
Inc. -- $100,000; and (iv) CL Aircraft XXV, Inc. -- $100,000. An additional
option may be granted to acquire Aircraft 46941, Inc. for a nominal purchase
price, if such entity is not a subsidiary of Cauff Lippman upon consummation of
the Merger. Each option is exercisable until the date that is twelve months
after the consummation of the Offering. Certain third party lenders, which are
participants in some of these entities, must consent to the transfer of any
equity interest in such entities. Such consents may not be obtained. In
addition, under the terms of their agreement with Chase Manhattan Bank, Messrs.
Cauff and Lippman and any entities controlled by them will be prohibited from
engaging in any transaction involving Boeing 747-100 and -200 series aircraft
without the approval of Chase Manhattan Bank.
 
     From time to time, the stockholders have advanced funds to Cauff Lippman.
As of December 31, 1997, the amount due from Cauff Lippman to the stockholders
and certain of their affiliates totaled $8,188,080. Upon consummation of the
Merger, all amounts due from Cauff Lippman to the stockholders will have been
repaid, other than certain promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$3.5 million held by Messrs. Cauff and Lippman and certain of their respective
affiliates, which are to be assumed by the Company.
 
     Cauff Lippman has procured services from certain affiliated entities. For
the year ended December 31, 1997, such affiliated entities performed services
for Cauff Lippman having an aggregate value of $1,344,000. Upon consummation of
the Merger, the Company will review the terms upon which Cauff Lippman procures
services, if any, from affiliated entities so that the terms are no less
favorable than those the Company could obtain from an unaffiliated third party.
 
  JACOM
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Jacom for: (i)
$128.0 million in cash and (ii) 3,368,368 shares of Common Stock. Immediately
prior to the Merger, Jacom will make a dividend to its stockholder in the amount
of $32.3 million. In addition, UniCapital will pay additional consideration, 50%
in cash and 50% in Common Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any increase in Jacom's
adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 1998 over the year ended
December 31, 1997 and (ii) 50% of any increase in Jacom's adjusted pre-tax
income for the year ended December 31, 1999 over the adjusted pre-tax income for
the year ended December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted pre-tax income for the year
ended December 31, 1998 is less than for
 
                                       103
<PAGE>   104
 
the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the baseline for comparison will
be the year ended December 31, 1997). John Alfano, the President of Jacom, will
become the Company's National Marketing Director and will enter into a two-year
employment agreement with the subsidiary of the Company that will operate the
Jacom business after the Merger and a two-year, post-employment covenant not to
compete with the Company. In addition, the Company will enter into a consulting
agreement with a corporation the sole stockholder of which is Robert Seaman,
pursuant to which Mr. Seaman's corporation will continue to provide such
consulting services to Jacom as it currently provides, and will render
additional consulting services to the Company in pursuing merger and acquisition
activities and forming strategic alliances. The agreement includes a two-year
post-consulting covenant not to compete.
 
     From time to time, Jacom has advanced funds to Mr. Alfano. As of December
31, 1997, amounts outstanding under such advances totaled $451,000. Upon
consummation of the Merger, all amounts due from Mr. Alfano will have been
repaid.
 
     From time to time, Jacom has sold lease receivables to Mr. Alfano. As of
December 31, 1997 Jacom owed approximately $781,000 to Mr. Alfano. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the amount due to Mr. Alfano will have been repaid
and Jacom will no longer sell its lease receivables to Mr. Alfano.
 
     Jacom leases its office space from Mr. Alfano. For the year ended December
31, 1997 rental payments for the office space totaled $120,000. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the Company will renegotiate as necessary, the lease
arrangement so that the terms are no less favorable than those the Company could
obtain from an unaffiliated third party.
 
     Trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Alfano's children are the
indirect stockholders of Museum Monthly, Inc. and RKL Publishing, Inc., which
entities have provided consulting services to Jacom from time to time. For the
year ended December 31, 1997, Jacom paid approximately $87,000 in consulting
fees to such entities. Upon consummation of the Merger, Jacom will no longer
procure consulting services from these entities.
 
  KEYSTONE
 
     UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding stock of Keystone for: (i)
$27.9 million in cash and (ii) 1,468,421 shares of Common Stock. In addition,

Stock, equal to (i) 50% of any increase in Keystone's adjusted pre-tax income
for the year ended December 31, 1998 over the year ended December 31, 1997 and
(ii) 50% of any increase in Keystone's adjusted pre-tax income for the year
ended December 31, 1999 over the adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended
December 31, 1998 (unless adjusted pre-tax income for the year ended December
31, 1998 is less than for the year ended December 31, 1997, in which case the
baseline for comparison will be the year ended December 31, 1997). Each of Alan

                            DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares
of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, par value $.001 per share. The following summary description of the
capital stock of the Company reflects the material provisions of the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that affect capital stock. The
description does not purport to be complete and is subject to the detailed
provisions of, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as
exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part,
and to the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the "DGCL").
 
COMMON STOCK
 
     The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of
record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Subject to the
rights of any holders of Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors
out of funds legally available. See "Dividend Policy." In the event of a
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of all assets remaining
after payment of liabilities, subject to the rights of any holders of preferred
stock of the Company. The holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to
subscribe for additional shares of the Company and no right to convert their
Common Stock into any other securities. In addition, there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will
be, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Company is authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations
prescribed by law, without further shareholder approval, to issue such shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such rights, preferences, privileges
and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights,
redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be established by
the Board of Directors at the time of issuance.
 
     The issuance of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors could adversely
affect the rights of holders of Common Stock. For example, the issuance of
shares of Preferred Stock could result in securities outstanding that would have
preference over the Common Stock with respect to dividends and in liquidation
and that could (upon conversion or otherwise) enjoy all of the rights of the
Common Stock.
 
     The authority possessed by the Board of Directors to issue Preferred Stock
could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third persons to obtain
control of the Company through merger, tender offer, proxy or consent
solicitation or otherwise, by making such attempts more difficult to achieve or
more costly. The Board of Directors may issue Preferred Stock without
stockholder approval and with voting rights that could adversely affect the
voting power of holders of Common Stock. There are no agreements or
understandings for the issuance of Preferred Stock, and the Company has no plans
to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
 
     The Company is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL.
Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a
"business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
A "business combination" includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to
certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with
affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the proposed
business combination has owned 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock.
 
     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws divide the Board of
Directors of the Company into three classes, each class to be as nearly equal in
number of directors as possible. At each annual meeting of
 
                                       110
<PAGE>   111
 
stockholders, directors in each class will be elected for three-year terms to
succeed the directors of that class whose terms are expiring. John A. Quelch and
Anthony K. Shriver will be Class I directors whose terms will expire in 1999.
Vincent W. Eades and Bruce E. Kropschot will be Class II directors whose terms
will expire in 2000. Jonathan J. Ledecky and Robert New will be Class III
directors whose terms will expire in 2001. In accordance with the DGCL,
directors serving on classified boards of directors may only be removed from
office for cause. These provisions could, under certain circumstances, operate
to delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company.
 
     The Bylaws of the Company provide that stockholders must follow an advance
notification procedure for certain stockholder nominations of candidates for the
Board of Directors and for certain other stockholder business to be conducted at
an annual meeting. These provisions could, under certain circumstances, operate
to delay, defer or prevent a change in control of the Company.
 
     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that liability of
directors of the Company is eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under

director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law; (iii) for any wilful or negligent payment of an unlawful

                    MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
     The following is a general discussion of material U.S. federal income and
estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Common Stock by a
beneficial owner that is a "Non-U.S. Holder." A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a person or
entity that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is a non-resident alien
individual, a foreign corporation, a foreign partnership, or a foreign estate or
trust.
 
     This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and administrative interpretations as of the date hereof, all of
which are subject to changes, including changes with retroactive effect. This
discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate
taxation that may be relevant to Non-U.S. Holders in light of their particular
circumstances and does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws
of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. Prospective holders are advised to
consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of owning and disposing of Common Stock, including the consequences under
the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
     Subject to the discussion below, dividends, if any, paid to a Non-U.S.
Holder of Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding tax at a 30%
rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
See "Dividend Policy." For purposes of determining whether tax is to be withheld
at a 30% rate or at a reduced rate as specified by an income tax treaty, the
Company ordinarily will presume that dividends paid on or before December 31,
1998 to an address in a foreign country are paid to a resident of such country
absent knowledge that such presumption is not warranted.
 
     Under the recently finalized United States Treasury Regulations applicable
to dividends paid after December 31, 1998 (the "Final Regulations"), to obtain a
reduced rate of withholding under a treaty a Non-U.S. Holder will generally be
required to provide an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 certifying such
Non-U.S. Holder's entitlement to benefits under a treaty. The Final Regulations
also provide special rules to determine whether, for purposes of determining the
applicability of a tax treaty, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is an
entity should be treated as paid to the entity or those holding an interest in
that entity.
 
     There will be no withholding tax on dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder
that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or
business within the United States if a Form 4224 (or, after December 31, 1998, a
Form W-8) stating that the dividends are so connected is filed with the Company.
Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S.
income tax in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident. A
non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be
subject to an additional "branch profits tax" which is imposed, under certain
circumstances, at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable treaty) on the non-U.S. corporation's effectively connected earnings
and profits, subject to certain adjustments.
 
     Generally, the Company must report to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service the
amount of dividends paid, the name and address of the recipient, and the amount,
if any, of tax withheld. A similar report is sent to the holder. Pursuant to tax
treaties or certain other agreements, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may make
its reports available to tax authorities in the recipient's country of
residence. Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address within the United
States may be subject to backup withholding imposed at a rate of 31% if the
Non-U.S. Holder fails to establish that it is entitled to an exemption or to
provide a correct taxpayer identification number and certain other information
to the Company.
 
     Under current United States federal income tax law, backup withholding
imposed at a rate of 31% generally will not apply to dividends paid on or before
December 31, 1998 to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the United States
(unless the payer has knowledge that the payee is a U.S. person). Under the
Final Regulations, however, a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to backup
withholding unless applicable certification requirements are met.
 
                                       112
<PAGE>   113
 
DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK
 
     A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax
with respect to gain realized on a sale or other disposition of Common Stock
unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such
holder in the United States, (ii) in the case of certain Non-U.S. Holders who
are non-resident alien individuals and hold Common Stock as a capital asset,
such individuals are present in the United States for 183 or more days in the
taxable year of the disposition, (iii) the Non-U.S. Holder is subject to tax
pursuant to the provisions of the Code regarding the taxation of U.S.
expatriates, or (iv) the Company is or has been a "U.S. real property holding
corporation" within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code at any time
within the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition or such
holder's holding period. The Company is not, and does not anticipate becoming, a
U.S. real property holding corporation.
 
     Under current United States federal income tax law, information reporting
and backup withholding imposed at a rate of 31% will apply to the proceeds of a
disposition of Common Stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker
unless the disposing holder certifies as to its non-U.S. status or otherwise
establishes an exemption. Generally, U.S. information reporting and backup
withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds where the
transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a
non-U.S. broker. However, U.S. information reporting requirements (but not
backup withholding) will apply to a payment of disposition proceeds where the
transaction is effected outside the United States by or through an office
outside the United States of a broker that is either (i) a U.S. person, (ii) a
foreign person which derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods
from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (iii) a
"controlled foreign corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (iv)
effective after December 31, 1998, certain brokers that are partnerships with
U.S. partners or that are engaged in a U.S. trade or business, and the broker
fails to maintain documentary evidence that the holder is a Non-U.S. Holder and
that certain conditions are met, or that the holder otherwise is entitled to an
exemption.
 
     Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of
persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax
withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be
obtained, provided that the required information is furnished to the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service.
 
FEDERAL ESTATE TAX
 
     An individual Non-U.S. Holder who is treated as the owner of, or has made
certain lifetime transfers of, an interest in the Common Stock will be required
to include the value thereof in his gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax
purposes, and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax unless an applicable
estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have 48,132,814 shares of
Common Stock outstanding, based upon the number of shares outstanding as of
March 31, 1998. The 28,000,000 shares sold in the Offering will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act,
unless acquired by an "affiliate" of the Company, as that term is defined in
Rule 144; shares held by affiliates will be subject to resale limitations of
Rule 144 described below. All of the remaining 20,132,814 outstanding shares of
Common Stock will be available for resale at various dates, subject to
compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act as the holding provisions of
Rule 144 are satisfied; 19,932,814 of such shares are subject to certain lock-up
agreements described below which expire 180 days after the date of this
Prospectus. Further, upon consummation of the Offering, 3,564,723 shares of
Common Stock will be issuable upon the exercise of stock options to be granted
on or prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company
intends to file a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares
of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such options, and a "shelf"
registration statement with respect to shares of Common Stock that may be issued
in connection with possible future acquisition transactions, as soon as
practicable after the consummation of the Offering.
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a stockholder who has
beneficially owned for at least one year shares privately acquired directly or
indirectly from the Company or from an affiliate of the Company, and persons who
are affiliates of the Company who have acquired the shares in registered
transactions, will be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of
shares that does not exceed the greater of: (i) one percent of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (approximately 481,328 shares immediately after
completion of the Offering); or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the
Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under
Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to the manner and
notice of sale and the availability of current public information about the
Company.
 
     The Company, each of its directors and officers, the holders of the shares
of Common Stock issued or to be issued in the Mergers and certain related
persons have agreed with the Underwriters not to offer, sell or otherwise
dispose of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for such shares for a period of 180 days after the
date of this Prospectus without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated.
 
     Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock. No predictions can be made with respect to the effect, if any, that
public sales of shares of the Common Stock or the availability of shares for
sale will have on the market price of the Common Stock after the completion of
the Offering. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market
following the Offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock or the ability of the
Company to raise capital through sales of its equity securities. See "Risk
Factors -- No Prior Market for Common Stock; Possible Volatility of Stock
Price."

     The U.S. Underwriters and the International Underwriters, and the U.S.
Representatives and the International Representatives, are collectively referred

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several
Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of Common Stock
offered hereby are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their
counsel and to certain other conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take
and pay for all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby (other than those
covered by the U.S. Underwriters' over-allotment option described below) if any
such shares are taken.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, each
U.S. Underwriter has represented and agreed that, with certain exceptions: (i)
it is not purchasing any Shares (as defined herein) for the account of anyone
other than a United States or Canadian Person (as defined herein) and (ii) it
has not offered or sold, and will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any
Shares or distribute any prospectus relating to the Shares outside the United
States or Canada or to anyone other than a United States or Canadian Person.
Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, each
International Underwriter has represented and agreed that, with certain
exceptions: (i) it is not purchasing any Shares for the account of any United
States or Canadian Person and (ii) it has not offered or sold, and will not
offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Shares or distribute any prospectus
relating to the Shares in the United States or Canada or to any United States or
Canadian Person. With respect to any Underwriter that is a U.S. Underwriter and
an International Underwriter, the foregoing representations and agreements (i)
made by it in its capacity as a U.S. Underwriter apply only to it in its
capacity as a U.S. Underwriter and (ii) made by it in its capacity as an
International Underwriter apply only to it in its capacity as an International
Underwriter. The foregoing limitations do not apply to stabilization
transactions or to certain other transactions specified in the Agreement between
U.S. and International Underwriters. As used herein, "United States or Canadian
Person" means any national or resident of the United States or Canada, or any
corporation, pension, profit-sharing or other trust or other entity organized
under the laws of the United States or Canada or of any political subdivision
thereof (other than a branch located outside the United States and Canada of any
United States or Canadian Person), and includes any United States or Canadian
branch of a person who is otherwise not a United States or Canadian Person. All
shares of Common Stock to be purchased by the Underwriters under the
Underwriting Agreement are referred to herein as the "Shares."
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters,
sales may be made between the U.S. Underwriters and International Underwriters
of any number of Shares as may be mutually agreed. The per share price of any
Shares so sold shall be the public offering price set forth on the cover page
hereof, in United States dollars, less an amount not greater than the per share
amount of the concession to dealers set forth below.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, each
U.S. Underwriter has represented that it has not offered or sold, and has agreed
not to offer or sell, any Shares, directly or indirectly, in any province or
territory of Canada or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of any province
or territory of Canada in contravention of the securities laws thereof and has
represented that any offer or sale of Shares in Canada will be made only
pursuant to an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus in the
province or territory of Canada in which such offer or sale is made. Each U.S.
Underwriter has further agreed to send to any dealer who purchases from it any
of the Shares a notice stating in substance that, by purchasing such Shares,
such dealer represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and will not
offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any of such Shares in any province or
territory of Canada or to, or for the benefit of, any resident of any province
or territory of Canada in contravention of the securities laws thereof and that
any offer or sale of Shares in Canada will be made only pursuant to an exemption
from the requirement to file a prospectus in the province or territory of Canada
in which such offer or sale is made, and that such dealer will deliver to any
other dealer to whom its sells any of such Shares a notice containing
substantially the same statement as is contained in this sentence.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, each
International Underwriter has represented and agreed that (i) it has not offered
or sold and, prior to the date six months after the closing date for the sale of
the Shares to the International Underwriters, will not offer or sell, any Shares
to persons in the United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as
principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses or otherwise in
circumstances which have not resulted and will not result in an offer to the
public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of
Securities Regulations 1995; (ii) it has complied and will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act of 1986 with respect to
anything done by it in relation to the Shares in, from or
                                       116
<PAGE>   117
 
otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (iii) it has only issued or passed
on and will only issue or pass on in the United Kingdom any document received by
it in connection with the offering of the Shares to a person who is of a kind
described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act of 1986 (Investment
Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1996 or is a person to whom such document may
otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement between U.S. and International Underwriters, each
International Underwriter has further represented that it has not offered or
sold, and has agreed not to offer or sell, directly or indirectly, in Japan or
to or for the account of any resident thereof, any of the Shares acquired in
connection with the distribution contemplated hereby, except for offers or sales
to Japanese International Underwriters or dealers and except pursuant to any
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law
and otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law. Each
International Underwriter has further agreed to send to any dealer who purchases
from it any of the Shares a notice stating in substance that, by purchasing such
Shares, such dealer represents and agrees that it has not offered or sold, and
will not offer or sell, any of such Shares, directly or indirectly, in Japan or
to for the account of any resident thereof except for offers or sales to
Japanese International Underwriters or dealers and except pursuant to any
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities and Exchange Law
and otherwise in compliance with applicable provisions of Japanese law, and that
such dealer will send to any other dealer to whom it sells any of such Shares a
notice containing substantially the same statement as is contained in this
sentence.
 
     The Underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of Common
Stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover
page hereof and part to certain dealers at a price that represents a concession
not in excess of $.70 a share under the public offering price. Any Underwriter
may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of $.10 a
share to other Underwriters or to certain other dealers. After the initial
offering of the shares of Common Stock, the offering price and other selling
terms may from time to time be varied by the Representatives.
 
     The Company has granted to the U.S. Underwriters an option, exercisable for
30 days from the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of
4,200,000 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price set
forth on the cover page hereof, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The
U.S. Underwriters may exercise such option solely for the purpose of covering
over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of
Common Stock offered hereby. To the extent such option is exercised, each U.S.
Underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage of such additional shares of Common Stock as
the number set forth next to such U.S. Underwriter's name in the preceding table
bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock offered by the U.S.
Underwriters hereby.
 
     The Common Stock has been approved for listing on the New York Stock
Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance, under the symbol "UCP."
 
     At the request of the Company, the Underwriters have reserved up to
1,400,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby for sale at the initial public
offering price to certain employees of the Company and other persons. The number
of shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent
that such persons purchase such reserved shares. Any reserved shares not so
purchased will be offered by the Underwriters to the general public on the same
basis as the other shares of Common Stock offered hereby.
 
     Each of the Company and the directors, executive officers and certain other
stockholders of the Company has agreed that, without the prior written consent
of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not,
during the period ending 180 days after the date of this Prospectus, with
certain limited exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any
option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contact to sell, grant
any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose
of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter
into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in
part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether
any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by
delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The
restrictions described in this paragraph do not apply to (x) the sale of the
Shares to the Underwriters or (y) the issuance by the Company of the shares of
Common Stock upon the exercise of any option or a warrant or the conversion of a
security outstanding on the date of this Prospectus of which the Underwriters
have been advised
                                       117
<PAGE>   118
 
in writing provided that the recipient of such shares agrees to be bound by the
transfer restrictions set forth herein.
 
     The Underwriters have informed the Company that they do not intend sales to
discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of shares of
Common Stock offered by them.
 
     From time to time, each of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates
may provide investment banking services to the Company. In addition, NationsBanc
Montgomery Securities LLC is acting as arranger and syndication agent of the
Senior Credit Facilities for which it and certain of its affiliates will receive
customary fees.
 
     The Company and the Underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
     In order to facilitate the offering of the Common Stock, the Underwriters
may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the
price of the Common Stock. Specifically, the Underwriters may over-allot in
connection with the offering, creating a short position in the Common Stock for
their own account. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the
price of the Common Stock, the Underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of
Common Stock in the open market. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim
selling concessions allowed to an Underwriter or a dealer for distributing the
Common Stock in the Offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously
distributed Common Stock in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in
stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize
or maintain the market price of the Common Stock above independent market
levels. The Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may
end any of these activities at any time.
 
PRICING OF THE OFFERING

                 UNICAPITAL CORPORATION AND FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
                      INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                         COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect
to the acquisitions by UniCapital Corporation ("UniCapital") of the outstanding
capital stock of American Capital Resources, Inc. ("American Capital"), Boulder
Capital Group, Inc. ("Boulder"), Cauff, Lippman Aviation, Inc. and Certain
Affiliates ("Cauff Lippman"), Jacom Computer Services, Inc. ("Jacom"), K.L.C.,
Inc. ("Keystone"), Matrix Funding Corporation and Subsidiary ("Matrix"),
Municipal Capital Markets Group, Inc. ("MCMG"), The NSJ Group ("NSJ"), Varilease
Corporation and Subsidiary ("Varilease") and The Walden Asset Group, Inc.
("Walden") and the partnership interests of Merrimac Financial Associates
("Merrimac") and Portfolio Financial Servicing Company, L.P. ("PFSC"). These
acquisitions will occur simultaneously with the closing of UniCapital's initial
public offering and will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. UniCapital has been identified as the "accounting acquiror" in
accordance with the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 97, which states that the combining company that
receives the largest portion of voting rights in the combined corporation is
presumed to be the "accounting acquiror" for financial statement presentation
purposes. The consideration to be paid to the stockholders of the Founding
Companies in the Mergers consists of a combination of cash and Common Stock. In
addition, the Company may make additional payments to the stockholders of the
Founding Companies (other than PFSC), in cash and Common Stock, based upon
increases in the adjusted pre-tax income of the Founding Companies for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 (and, in the case of Boulder, Cauff Lippman and
NSJ, also for the year ended December 31, 2000). If and when such additional
consideration is paid to the stockholders of the Founding Companies, the fair
value of such consideration will be recorded in a manner consistent with the
consideration paid at closing for each Founding Company. Any shares of Common
Stock issued as contingent consideration will impact earnings per share in the
period in which the contingencies are resolved and the Common Stock is
distributable. The additional goodwill will be amortized over the remaining term
of the original goodwill recorded by the Company at closing.
 
     The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the Mergers
and the Offering as if they had occurred on March 31, 1998. The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of operations give effect to these transactions as if
they had occurred on January 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations reflect the operating results of each of the Founding
Companies for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the interim three-month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998.
 
     UniCapital has preliminarily analyzed the savings that it expects to
realize from reductions in salaries and certain benefits to the stockholders and
management of the Founding Companies. To the extent that the stockholders and
management of the Founding Companies have agreed prospectively to reductions in
salary, bonuses and benefits, these reductions have been reflected in the pro
forma combined statement of operations. With respect to other potential cost
savings, UniCapital has not and cannot quantify these savings until completion
of the combination of the Founding Companies. Additionally, the pro forma
combined statement of operations gives effect to anticipated compensation of
UniCapital's new corporate management and associated costs of being a public
company.
 
     The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain assumptions and may be revised as additional information becomes
available. The pro forma financial data do not purport to represent what
UniCapital's financial position or results of operations would actually have
been if such transactions in fact had occurred on those dates and are not
necessarily representative of UniCapital's financial position or results of
operations for any future period. Since the Founding Companies were not under
common control or management, historical combined results may not be comparable
to, or indicative of, future performance. The unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the other financial
statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. See "Risk
Factors" included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

                 UNICAPITAL CORPORATION AND FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
 
NOTE 1--GENERAL
 
     UniCapital was established to create a national consolidator and operator
of equipment leasing and speciality finance businesses serving the commercial
market. UniCapital has conducted no operations to date and will acquire the
Founding Companies concurrently with and as a condition to the closing of the
Offering.
 
     The historical financial statements reflect the financial position and
results of operations of UniCapital and the Founding Companies and were derived
from the respective Founding Companies' financial statements where indicated.
The periods included in these pro forma combined financial statements are as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
and for the year ended December 31, 1997, regardless of the fiscal year end of
the Founding Companies. The audited historical financial statements of
UniCapital and the Founding Companies included elsewhere in this Prospectus have
been included in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 80.
 
NOTE 2--ACQUISITION OF FOUNDING COMPANIES
 
     Concurrently with and as a condition to the closing of the Offering,
UniCapital will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock or partnership
interests of the Founding Companies. The acquisitions will be accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting with UniCapital identified as the
accounting acquiror. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically
reviewed by the Company based on the expected future undiscounted operating cash
flows of the related business unit.
 
     The following table sets forth the consideration to be paid in cash and
shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of each of the Founding Companies.
For purposes of computing the estimated purchase price for accounting purposes,
the value of shares is determined using an estimated fair value of $17.10 per
share, which represents a discount of 10 percent from the assumed initial public
offering price of $19.00 per share due to restrictions on the sale and
transferability of the shares issued. The estimated purchase price allocations
for the acquisitions are based upon preliminary estimates and are subject to
certain adjustments. The Company does not anticipate that the final allocation
of purchase price will differ significantly from that presented.

    to the stockholders of the Founding Companies in connection with the

    13,334,064 shares of common stock with an estimated fair value of $17.10 per
    share (or $228.0 million), which represents a discount of ten percent from
    the assumed initial public offering price of $19.00 per share due to
    restrictions on the sale and transferability of the shares issued. $21.8
    million of the purchase price has been allocated to aircraft under operating
    leases and $33.2 million to a deferred tax liability to be established upon
    the conversion from S Corporation or partnership status of certain of the
    Founding Companies and the remaining purchase price in excess of book value
    of assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill.
 
(F) Reflects the cash proceeds from the issuance of 28,000,000 shares of Common
    Stock net of estimated expenses of the Offering (based on an estimated
    initial public offering price of $19.00 per share). Expenses of the Offering
    primarily consist of underwriting discounts and commissions, accounting
    fees, legal fees and printing expenses.
 
(G) Reflects payment of the cash portion of the purchase price to be paid to the
    stockholders of the Founding Companies and the repayment of certain
    indebtedness of the Founding Companies assumed by UniCapital in the Mergers
    with a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering.

NOTE 6--STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
     UniCapital has adopted the 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1998
Incentive Plan") under which awards of options to acquire shares of Common Stock
may be made to employees, directors (other than non-employee directors),
consultants and advisors of UniCapital. The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be awarded under the 1998 Incentive Plan is 15% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. In connection
with the Offering, UniCapital intends to grant to employees of the Founding
Companies, stock options to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
6.25% of the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Mergers, divided by the
initial public offering price per share of Common Stock (such number of grants
estimated to be 1,933,223 shares). The options will vest ratably over a
four-year period and will expire 10 years from the date of grant. In addition,
in connection with the Offering, UniCapital intends to grant 1,065,000 options
that will be exercisable immediately at an exercise price equal to the initial
offering price, which will expire 10 years from the date of grant and 243,500
options to certain members of management of UniCapital with an exercise price
equal to the initial offering price that will be exercisable over a four year
period. At March 31, 1998, no options had been granted under this Plan.
 
     UniCapital has also adopted the 1997 Executive Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan (the "1997 Executive Plan") under which awards of options to acquire shares
of Common Stock may be made to employees, directors, consultants and advisors of
UniCapital. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded
under options is 500,000. Options to purchase 200,000 shares at an exercise
price of $3.00 under the 1997 Executive Plan have been awarded as of February
19, 1998. Accordingly, under APB No. 25 UniCapital recorded compensation expense
of $2.1 million in relation to these options in January 1998. In addition, in
connection with the Offering, UniCapital intends to grant 60,000 options that
will be exercisable immediately at an exercise price per share equal to the
initial offering price, which will expire 10 years from the date of grant.
 
     UniCapital has also adopted the 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan
(the "1998 Non-Directors' Plan") under which awards of options to acquire shares
of Common Stock may be made automatically to non-employee directors of
UniCapital. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be awarded
under options is 500,000. In connection with the Offering, UniCapital intends to
grant 63,000 options that will be exercisable immediately at an exercise price
equal to the initial offering price, which will expire 10 years from the date of
grant.
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," ("SFAS 123") allows entities to choose between a new
fair value based method of accounting for employee stock

NOTE 6--STOCK OPTION PLANS (CONTINUED)
options or similar equity instruments and the current intrinsic value-based
method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB No. 25"). Entities electing to account for employee stock options or
similar equity instruments under APB No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting has
been applied. UniCapital has elected APB No. 25, and will provide pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share, as applicable, in the notes to
future consolidated financial statements. For pro forma disclosure purposes, had
pro forma compensation cost for UniCapital's stock based compensation plans been
determined based on the pro forma fair value at the grant dates for awards under
those plans consistent with the method of SFAS 123, UniCapital's pro forma net
income before extraordinary item would have been $13.9 million, $(0.7) million
and $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Pro forma net income per share before
extraordinary item (basic and diluted) would have been $0.29, $(.02) and $.13
for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1997
and 1998, respectively.
 
     The pro forma fair value of the options was estimated on the assumed date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted average assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 40%,
risk free interest rates of 5.70% and expected lives of four years.

material respects, the financial position of UniCapital Corporation at December

from inception (October 9, 1997) to December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. 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 audit. We conducted our audit
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                             UNICAPITAL CORPORATION
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     UniCapital Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, ("UniCapital" or the
"Company", formerly known as "U.S. Leasing, Inc.") was founded in October 1997,
to create a national consolidator and operator of equipment leasing and
specialty finance businesses serving the commercial market. UniCapital intends
to acquire twelve equipment leasing and related businesses (the "Mergers"), upon
consummation of an initial public offering (the "Offering") of its common stock
and, subsequent to the Offering, continue to acquire through merger or purchase,
similar companies to expand its national operations.
 
     UniCapital has not conducted any operations, and all activities to date
have related to the Offering and the Mergers. The Company's cash balances were
generated from the sale of common stock of the Company to investors.
Accordingly, statements of operations, of cash flows and of changes in
stockholders' equity from inception of the Company to December 31, 1997 would
not provide meaningful information and have been omitted. Operating expenses
subsequent to inception consist primarily of the salary and benefits of the
Company's one employee which have been expensed. As of December 31, 1997, the
Company has incurred $573,090 in costs associated with the Offering, which have
been capitalized as deferred offering costs. These costs primarily include
professional and consulting fees, and will be recorded as a reduction of
proceeds of the Offering. The Company is dependent upon the Offering to execute
the pending Mergers. There is no assurance that the pending Mergers will be
completed or the Company will be able to generate future operating revenues.
 
     Unaudited Interim Financial Information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is unaudited;
however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim period. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim period.
 
NOTE 2--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
     Common Stock.  In connection with the organization and initial
capitalization of UniCapital, on October 9, 1997, the Company authorized
100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 per share, and
issued 4,000,000 shares at $.05 per share to certain individuals who have
assisted the Company in their capacity as consultants for aggregate
consideration of $200,000. One of the co-founders will become an employee of the
Company pursuant to an employment agreement upon completion of the Offering. In
addition, the Company sold 1,276,250 additional shares of common stock for
prices ranging from $.05 to $3.00 per share between October 9, 1997 and December
31, 1997, to consultants and investors for aggregate consideration of $208,750
of which $128,750 was in the form of notes receivable. As a result of the sale
of these shares, the Company recorded a non-cash compensation charge of
$2,133,125 during 1997, representing the excess of the estimated fair value of
the shares over the consideration received for the shares at issuance.
 
     Consideration received by the Company from the sale of shares of common
stock included $128,750 in notes receivable from two stockholders, which is
reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction from stockholders' equity. The
notes are due one year from completion of the Offering and bear interest at the
Applicable short term Federal Rate (5.68% at December 31, 1997).
 
NOTE 3--STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS
 
     The Company has adopted certain stock option plans and an employee stock
purchase plan, which are summarized below. Each of the option plans are
administered by a compensation committee composed of outside members of the
Board of Directors. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," allows entities to choose between a
new fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar
equity instruments and the current intrinsic value-based method of accounting
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB No. 25").
Entities electing to account for employee stock options or similar equity
instruments under APB No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and
earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting has been applied.
The Company has

NOTE 3--STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS (CONTINUED)
elected APB No. 25, and will provide pro forma disclosure of net income and
earnings per share, as applicable, in the notes to future consolidated financial
statements.
 
1997 Executive Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
 
     The Company has adopted and the stockholders have approved the 1997
Executive Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Executive Plan") under
which awards of options to acquire shares of common stock may be made to
employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. The maximum
number of shares of common stock which may be awarded under options is 500,000
shares, of which, after the Offering, no more than 100,000 shares may be awarded
to an optionee in any calendar year. Options to purchase 200,000 shares at an
exercise price of $3.00 per share under the 1997 Executive Plan have been
awarded as of February 19, 1998.
 
     The terms and conditions of awards under the 1997 Executive Plan are
determined from time to time by the compensation committee and will constitute
nonqualified options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
Outstanding awards will vest and become exercisable in the event of a change in
control of the Company, as defined.
 
1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
     The Company expects to adopt, and submit to the stockholders for approval,
the 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1998 Incentive Plan") under which awards
of options to acquire shares of common stock may be made to employees, directors
(other than non-employee directors), consultants and advisors of the Company.
The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be awarded under the 1998
Incentive Plan is 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding
from time to time. After the Offering, no more than 500,000 shares may be
awarded to an optionee in any calendar year. As of February 12, 1998, no awards
under the 1998 Incentive Plan are outstanding. Upon successful completion of the
Offering, the Company intends to grant to employees of the Founding Companies,
stock options to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 6.25% of
the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Mergers, divided by the initial
public offering price per share. The options will vest ratably over a four year
period and will expire 10 years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company
intends to grant 1,000,000 options (500,000 each to the Company's co-founders)
that will be exercisable immediately at an exercise price equal to the initial
offering price, which will expire 10 years from the date of grant.
 
     The terms and conditions of awards under the 1998 Incentive Plan are
determined from time to time by the compensation committee. Exercise prices may
not be less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and
exercise periods may not exceed 10 years.
 
1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan
 
     The Company expects to adopt, and submit to the stockholders for approval,
the 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Plan (the "1998 Non-Employee Directors'
Plan") under which awards of options to acquire shares of common stock may be
made automatically to non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares of
common stock which may be awarded under the 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Plan is
500,000 shares. Each non-employee director will receive on the date of the
Offering an initial award of an option to purchase 21,000 shares of common stock
(63,000 shares in the aggregate) at an exercise price equal to the initial
offering price of the common stock in the Offering. Thereafter, each
non-employee director will receive an annual award of an option to purchase
6,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the
common stock. All awards are immediately exercisable.
 
1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
     The Company expects to adopt, and submit to the stockholders for approval,
the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Employee Stock Purchase Plan") under
which eligible employees of the Company may

NOTE 3--STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS (CONTINUED)
purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions at a price equal to
85% of the fair value of the common stock. The Company has reserved 2,000,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
 
NOTE 4--LINE OF CREDIT
 
     The Company has a $250,000 line of credit facility with a financial
institution, due on July 31, 1998, all of which was unused at December 31, 1997.
Subsequent to December 31, 1997 the maximum borrowings allowed under the line of
credit agreement were increased to $500,000. The agreement expires in July 1998,
and is guaranteed jointly and severally by one of the Company's stockholders and
another related party. Interest on the facility is payable monthly computed at
the prime lending rate plus 0.75%.
 
NOTE 5--INCOME TAXES
 
     The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided
to reduce deferred taxes to the amount expected to be realized based on
available evidence.
 
     The Company's provision for income tax expense was composed of the
following for the year ended December 31, 1997:

NOTE 6--COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

at various dates in the year 2000. The agreements provide for annual base
salaries ranging from $175,000 to $650,000. These agreements would generally
remain an obligation of the Company in the event the Company terminates
employment without cause after the employment term commences.
 
     Consulting Agreement.  The Company intends to enter into a two-year
consulting agreement, which will be effective at the time of the Offering, with
a corporation the sole stockholder of which is a consultant to Jacom Computer
Services, Inc. ("Jacom"), one of the Founding Companies. The agreement provides
that such corporation will continue to provide such consulting services to Jacom
as it currently provides, and will render additional consulting services to the
Company in pursuing merger and acquisition activities and forming strategic
alliances. The agreement provides for base annual consulting fees of $500,000,
payable monthly.
 
NOTE 7--SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
     Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company issued an additional 1,522,500
shares of Common Stock for prices ranging from $3.00 to $10.00 per share to
individuals serving as consultants to the Company, each of whom will become
employees of the Company upon consummation of the Offering, and certain other
stockholders, for aggregate consideration of $5,127,500 of which $3,830,518 was
in the form of notes receivable, and recorded a non-cash compensation charge of
$15.2 million related to the difference between amounts paid and the value of
these shares. In addition, in January 1998, the Company issued an option to a
consultant to the Company, who will become an employee of the Company upon
consummation of the Offering, to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock at
$3.00 per share, which expires on January 31, 2008. The Company recorded a
charge in the amount of $2,060,000 in January 1998 reflecting the compensatory
value of the option.
 
     On January 27, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to change
the Company's name to UniCapital Corporation and authorized 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. No preferred stock has been
issued by the Company as of February 19, 1998.
 
     Unaudited subsequent event.  UniCapital has signed definitive agreements to
acquire by merger twelve equipment leasing and related companies ("Founding
Companies") to be effective contemporaneously with the Offering. The
consideration to be paid by UniCapital in acquiring the Founding Companies will
be a combination of cash and common stock, currently estimated to be
approximately $584.9 million.
 
     The total consideration does not reflect contingent consideration which may
be issued pursuant to earn out arrangements included in the definitive
agreements for the Founding Companies. These arrangements provide for the
Company to pay additional consideration based on earnings before taxes generated
by the Founding Companies for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999 (and in
certain cases also for the year ended December 31, 2000). Contingent
consideration, if earned, will be recorded in a manner consistent with the
consideration paid at closing for each Founding Company. Any shares of common
stock issued as contingent consideration will be included in shares used to
compute earnings per share in the period in which the contingencies are resolved
and the common stock is distributable.

The Board of Directors
  American Capital Resources, Inc.
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Capital
Resources, Inc. as of July 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related statements of
income and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year 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 audit 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 incudes
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 financial position of American Capital Resources,
Inc. as of July 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 1997 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                             JULY 31, 1996 AND 1997
 
        (INFORMATION AS OF JANUARY 31, 1998 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
                    JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED.)
 
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Organization and Business.  American Capital Resources, Inc. (the
"Company"), a privately held financial services company, provides a wide array
of financial products and services to both manufacturers/dealers and end-users.
Among the products offered are equipment financing and leasing (both new and
used equipment), commercial collateralized lending, including both accounts
receivable and inventory financing, working capital loans, mergers and
acquisitions, portfolio financing and retail marketing programs for
manufacturers and dealers of equipment.
 
     Headquartered in Hackensack, New Jersey, the Company operates on a
nation-wide basis with sales representation resulting in a geographical customer
mix throughout the United States with no specific concentration in any one area.
While continuing as a prime source of funds for the graphic arts and paper
converting industries, including commercial printing, corrugating, packaging,
bindery, etc., the Company also provides financing for various other industries,
including but not limited to, plastics, electronics, machine tools, etc.
However, as of July 31, 1996 and 1997, substantially all of the customers'
receivables are concentrated in the graphic arts and paper converting
industries.
 
     Revenue Recognition.  The Company purchases and finances equipment for its
customers. To fund the purchase of such equipment, the Company sells its
customers' contracts and leases and the payments receivable thereunder to a bank
or borrows the required proceeds from various funding sources. The Company does
not provide servicing for receivables sold. For borrowings, the finance method
of accounting is followed for financial statement reporting purposes and the
proceeds received are reflected as borrowings (See note 2).
 
     Contracts and leases are accounted for by recording as an asset, the total
minimum payments receivable, the guaranteed residual (the stated purchase
agreement amount) and the unearned income which is a contra-asset account. The
unearned income represents the excess of the total minimum payments, including
the stated purchase agreement amount to be realized, over the cost of the
related equipment. The unearned income is recognized as revenue over the terms
of the related contracts following the interest method. When a contract or lease
is sold, the excess of the proceeds from the sale over the carrying value of the
receivable, net of the related unearned income, is recorded as a gain on sale of
the contract. Effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125 (FASB 125), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishment of Liabilities." The adoption of FASB 125 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
 
     Initial direct costs are deferred and included as part of the net
investment. Amortization of the deferred initial direct costs is computed using
the interest method over the lives of the contracts or leases. When a contract
or lease is sold, the related initial direct costs are charged to gain on sale
of contracts.
 
     Allowance for Doubtful Receivables.  The allowance for doubtful receivables
represents the Company's recognition of the assumed risks of extending credit
and the quality of the contracts and leases. The allowance is maintained at a
level considered adequate to provide for potential credit losses based on
management's assessment of various factors affecting the quality of the
portfolio, including loss experience, review of problem accounts, aging of the
portfolio and general business conditions. The allowance for doubtful
receivables is an estimate and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates
and future additions to the allowance may be necessary.

                    JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED.)
 
NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment are stated at cost and are
being depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
 
<TABLE>

Furniture, fixtures and computer equipment...  3 to 7 years
Transportation equipment.....................  3 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements.......................  Shorter of useful life or lease term
</TABLE>
 
     Income Taxes.  The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred
income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
     Use of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     Interim Financial Information.  The financial statements and notes related
thereto as of January 31, 1998 and for the six months ended January 31, 1997 and
1998 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, include all normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position
and results of operations. The operating results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of a full year's operations.

     Contracts and leases financed under nonrecourse borrowings have been
structured in such a way that the payments to be received are equal to or
greater than the underlying debt service. Because customers may prepay balances
due or the Company may sell, or assign the future payment stream, the above is
not intended to be a projection of future cash flow.

     DML Associates ("DML") is a partnership controlled by the stockholder of
the Company. The amount due from DML at July 31, 1996 and 1997 is secured by
DML's purchase agreements on leases which are in excess of the receivables at
those dates.
 
     The receivable from stockholder, who is also an officer of the Company,
represents net advances to the stockholder. Such amounts are not interest
bearing and do not have a specific due date.

     The Company has committed to extend credit to its customers in the normal
course of business. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract or lease and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses; such commitments may also provide for a fee to the Company. The amount
of collateral obtained by the Company upon extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluations of the counter-party. The Company evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. At such time as a
commitment is made, the collateral value supporting such commitment is at least
equal to or greater than the value of the commitment. In some cases, these
transactions also may have vendor support.
 
     Most of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon and, accordingly, the
total commitment amounts normally represent future cash requirements. Over the
twelve months ending July 31, 1998, the Company expects to fund such commitments
from its unused credit lines (see note 5), from the sale of receivables, or from
working capital. Collateral obtained includes the equipment financed and may
include other property, plant, and equipment, as well as personal guarantees. At
July 31, 1997, the Company had contracts to extend credit to customers
aggregating approximately $33,403,000.
 
     The Company has several vendor guarantee programs in existence whereby, in
the event of a customer default, the vendors involved would be obligated to
"repurchase" the transaction from the Company up to certain predetermined limits
under certain programs and up to 100% of the equipment cost under other
programs.
 
NOTE 9--PENSION PLAN
 
     The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution pension plan (the "Plan")
covering substantially all employees of the Company. Employees become eligible
to participate in the Plan upon completion of one year of service. Employee
contributions are matched by the Company to a maximum of 3% of each
participant's

NOTE 10--EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
 
     On May 2, 1997, the Company concluded an agreement with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver for a failed bank involving a dispute
over the repurchase of a portfolio previously assigned to the failed bank. The
agreement settled indebtedness of $1,875,757 for $1,162,000 resulting in an
extraordinary gain of $713,757. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company
paid $725,000 in installments through September 4, 1997. The balance of $437,000
was due in 62 monthly installments of $7,662 beginning November 1, 1997 and one
payment of $50,000 due January 19, 1998. Such installments include interest at
the rate of 8% per annum. Effective July 30, 1997, the stockholder of the
Company, who is also an officer, with the consent of the FDIC, assumed the
obligation for the note for consideration of $437,000.
 
NOTE 11--SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)
 
     The Company and its stockholders have entered into a merger agreement with
UniCapital Corporation ("UniCapital") pursuant to which UniCapital will acquire
all outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock in exchange for cash and
Common Stock of UniCapital, concurrent with the consummation of an initial
public offering of the Common Stock of UniCapital.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     Boulder Capital Group, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1986. Its
principal business activity is the lease financing of above ground equipment to
the retail petroleum industry.
 
     The Company has developed vendor financing programs, with the leading
manufacturers of automated car washers and fuel dispensers. The Company is also
endorsed by a number of major petroleum companies to provide financing to their
branded retailers.
 
     The Company operates from a single location in Boulder, CO. The Company's
customers range in size from major petroleum companies to single-site dealers.
Lessees are located in 42 states and financing is provided through a variety of
lease structures.
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Use of 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 date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and
related assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are
appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are
made in the assessment of collectibility of direct financing leases and
receivables, recovery of residual values of leased equipment, recourse
liabilities, and depreciation and amortization.
 
     Direct financing leases.  The Company invests in leases classified as
direct financing leases. The Company's net investment in direct financing leases
includes the gross rentals receivable, estimates of residual values, deferred
initial direct costs accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs
Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of
Leases" and unearned finance income. Unearned finance income represents the
excess of the total receivable plus the initial direct costs and the estimated
residual value over the cost of equipment or contract acquired. Revenue from
direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term on the interest method
which results in a level rate of return on the net investment in the lease.
 
     At the inception of the lease, management uses available evidence and
historical experience to estimate the residual value at the end of the lease
term. Estimated residual values not guaranteed by lessees are reviewed annually
and adjusted to reflect declines in current market value.
 
     The Company has, from time-to-time, transferred selected direct financing
leases to lenders while continuing to service the leases on behalf of the
transferee. The Company has accounted for these transactions as sales under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The
difference between the transfer price and the net investment in direct financing
leases, excluding interests in residual values retained (if any), is recognized
as a gain or loss.
 
     Operating leases.  All lease transactions not qualifying as direct
financing are classified as operating leases. Revenue is recognized over the
minimum term of operating leases on a straight-line basis.
 
     Equipment under operating leases is depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful life of the equipment leased.
 
     Equipment acquired to fulfill leasing commitments.  Equipment acquired to
fulfill leasing commitments represents cost of equipment purchased pursuant to
firm leasing commitments which will be delivered to lessees in the next quarter.
 
     Allowance for lease losses.  The Company maintains an allowance for lease
losses in an amount sufficient to absorb inherent lease losses resulting from
lessee defaults and certain recourse liabilities. Management periodically
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance and records a provision necessary to
maintain the allowance

NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

at an adequate level and considers such factors as overall economic conditions
and the growth in the investment in direct financing leases and performance of
lessees.
 
     Depreciation.  Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated
over the useful lives of the related assets on the straight-line method. Useful
lives range from three to five years.
 
     Income taxes.  Prior to January 1, 1997, the Company elected to be taxed as
a Subchapter S Corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, no
taxes were recorded prior to that date. Instead, the revenues and expenses of
the Company were included in the tax returns of the individual stockholders.
Effective, January 1, 1997, the Company discontinued its election to be treated
as an S Corporation, and elected to be taxed as a C Corporation.
 
     Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company accounted for income taxes
under the liability method. Under this method deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. The initial adoption of the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"),
resulted in the recording of a deferred tax liability of $415,000 at January 1,
1997.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents.  For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
     Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying value of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of notes payable approximated fair value based upon comparability
of market rates for similar instruments.
 
NOTE 3--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     At December 31, 1997, the Company has a revolving credit agreement with the
majority stockholder of the Company that allows the Company to borrow up to
$200,000. No amounts were borrowed under this agreement at December 31, 1997;
however $200,000 was borrowed at December 31, 1996 and repaid on August 15,
1997. Interest is payable monthly at the prime-rate plus one percent (9.5% at
December 31, 1997), and aggregated $11,668 during 1997.
 
     The Company is a related party with respect to a corporate lender discussed
in Notes 6 and 7, since the minority stockholder owns an equity interest in the
lender. The amount of subordinated debt owed to this corporate lender was
$500,000 at December 31, 1997. Interest expense of $41,607 was incurred related
to this subordinated debt for the year ended December 31, 1997. In addition, at
December 31, 1996 the Company had $300,000 outstanding in short term borrowings
with this lender. This amount was repaid in full on August 15, 1997. Interest
was payable monthly at prime rate plus 1/2 percent. Interest expense of $16,572
was incurred related to this note for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company paid a guarantee fee
of $31,362 to the minority stockholder for being a limited guarantor of the line
of credit for the Company disclosed in Note 6.

institutions on a nonrecourse basis. Under these borrowings, the Company assigns
all lease payments due under the applicable leases and grants a security
interest in the leased equipment to the lending institution. In the event of a
default by a lessee, the lender has a security interest in the lease payments
and underlying equipment, but except as disclosed below, has no further recourse
against the Company. Interest on these borrowings is fixed at the time of the
advance to the Company, with rates ranging from 5% to 9% at December 31, 1997.
 
     The Company has provided limited guarantee provisions to certain lenders
providing up to 5% recourse which declines over the term of the debt. The

NOTE 12--TRANSFER OF LEASES
 
     The Company from time to time, transfers to unrelated third parties direct
financing leases, while continuing to service such leases on behalf of the
transferee, in transactions accounted for as sales under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." In connection with certain
transfers, the Company has provided recourse to the transferee for lease losses
up to an amount not exceeding 5% of the transfer price which declines over the
terms of the leases transferred and which approximated $560,000 at December 31,
1997. In the event of a default by a lessee, the Company has the option, but not
the obligation, to repurchase the remaining unrecovered net investment in the
defaulted leases in order to maximize the disposition of such property and to
minimize the Company's loss exposure. Management considers this recourse
liability in their periodic determination of the adequacy of the allowance for
lease losses.
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1997 the Company transferred $10,479,000
of carrying value of net investment in direct financing leases and recorded a

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Nature of Operations.  Boulder Capital Group, Inc. ("Boulder Capital" or
the "Company") was founded in 1986. Boulder Capital is primarily engaged in the
lease financing of above ground equipment to the petroleum retail industry.
 
     Boulder Capital has customers ranging in size from major petroleum
companies to multi-unit jobbers to single-site dealers. Customers are served in
41 states, and financing is provided through a variety of lease structures.
 
     Use of Estimates.  The preparation of the 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimate of residual
values and the determination of the allowance for lease losses. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
 
     Cash Equivalents.  The Company considers all short-term investments with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
     Income Taxes.  At inception, the Company elected to be treated as an S
corporation for tax purposes. Under this structure, the elements of income and
expense of the Company are passed to the shareholder and taxed at the
shareholders' individual tax rate. Accordingly, no income tax expense is
reflected in the accompanying financial statements. As of January 1, 1997, the
Company has elected to be treated as a C corporation.
 
     New Accounting Pronouncement.  In March of 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of (Statement No. 121) effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995. Statement No. 121 requires impairment losses
to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, including leased
equipment, when indicators of impairment are present and either the undiscounted
future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets or the fair market
value are less than the assets carrying amount. Statement No. 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
Company adopted Statement No. 121 effective January 1, 1996. The adoption of
Statement No. 121 did not have a material impact on the accompanying financial
statements.
 
     Equipment Leasing.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13
requires that a lessor account for each lease by either the direct financing,
sales-type or operating lease method. Direct financing and sales-type leases are
defined as those leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and
risks of ownership of the equipment to the lessee. The Company utilizes the
direct financing method and operating method for substantially all of the
Company's equipment under lease. For most types of leases, the determination of
profit considers the estimated value of the equipment at lease termination,
referred to as the residual value. After the inception of a lease, the Company
may engage in the financing of lease receivables on a non-recourse basis and/or
equipment sale transactions to reduce or recover its investment in the
equipment. Certain of the outstanding non-recourse debt contain a 5% first loss
provision. The Company's exposure declines with the net investment in such
leases.
 
     LEASE INCEPTION
 
     Direct Financing Leases.  Leasing revenue, which is recognized over the
term of the lease, consists of the excess of lease payments plus the estimated
residual value over the equipment's cost. Earned income is recognized to provide
a constant yield over the lease term and is recorded in leasing revenue in the
accompanying statement of operations and retained earnings. Residual values are
recorded at lease inception equal to the estimated value of the leased equipment
at lease termination, as determined by the Company. In estimating such values,
the Company considers independent appraisals and unique circumstances regarding
the equipment. The Company evaluates residual estimates on an ongoing basis for
any impairment in value.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Operating Leases.  Leasing revenue consists principally of rental payments.
The cost of equipment is recorded as leased equipment and is depreciated
primarily on the straight-line basis over the estimated life of the equipment
leased.
 
     Significant Lease Terms.  The Company's lease agreements provide that the
lessee pays taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Lease agreements generally
provide for penalty provisions in the event of early termination.
 
     Significant Concentrations.  The majority of the Company's net lease
receivables are collateralized by retail automotive automobile washing equipment
of which approximately 35% of the 1996 lease originations related to a single
manufacturer.
 
     TRANSACTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO LEASE INCEPTION
 
     Private Equipment Sales.  The Company may from time to time sell its title
to leased equipment to third-party investors. In some cases, the equipment is
subject to existing non-recourse debt. In such transactions, the investors may
obtain rights to residual interests, equipment rentals and tax benefits. Upon
sale, the Company records equipment sales revenue equal to the sales price of
the equipment. Cost of equipment sales equals the carrying value of the related
asset reduced by any residual interest retained by the Company. The estimated
residual interest retained by the Company, if any, is recorded as an asset at
present value using an interest rate approximating the Company's then
incremental borrowing rate. Fees for administering and remarketing the equipment
associated with such transactions are reflected in operations as earned. The
residual interest in such transactions is determined in the same manner as
direct financing leases. Income is recorded on residual interests retained by
the Company after cash collections on such residuals exceed the recorded asset
amount.
 
     Sale of Leases.  During 1996, the Company transferred selected direct
financing leases to a third party lender. The difference between the sales price
of $1,702,623 and the net investment in the direct financing leases of
$1,602,326 is recognized as a gain in the accompanying financial statements. In
connection with the transfers, the Company provided recourse to the transferee
for lease losses up to an amount not exceeding 5% of the sales price of the
direct financing leases transferred. The Company did not retain an interest in
the corresponding residual values.
 
     Allowance for Losses.  The Company recognizes a credit loss reserve equal
to one-half of one percent of equipment cost for all equipment leased to
petroleum distributors and dealers. To further minimize credit risk as well as
interest rate risk, the Company typically finances lease obligations on a
non-recourse, fixed-rate basis with various lenders. The non-recourse loans
transfer substantially all credit risk to third parties.
 
     Activity in the Company's allowance for losses during the year ended
December 31, 1996 is summarized as follows:

NOTE 2--REVENUE SHARING AGREEMENTS AND DEPRECIATION ON LEASED EQUIPMENT
 
     At December 31, 1996, the Company owned $1,209,626 of car wash equipment
placed under five-year revenue sharing agreements primarily with major oil
company customers. Under the revenue sharing agreements, the Company receives a
majority of the revenues generated by the car washes from which it pays for
supplies and the services of the manufacturer's distributor. Depreciation on
leased equipment totaled $361,246 for the year ended December 31, 1996.

                          YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
NOTE 3--OPTION FEE
 
     A related corporation has the option to participate in the residual values
of certain equipment by paying $750,000 on or before certain dates that coincide
with the expiration of the lease terms of the equipment, which occur between
1997 and 1999. The corporation will then receive 100% of all re-lease or sale
proceeds up to $1,125,000 after payment of direct costs associated with such
transaction, if any. The related corporation and the Company then share equally
any proceeds in excess of this amount. Fees of $250,000 received by the Company
in 1992 have been recorded in accrued expenses.
 
     The residual values recorded by the Company in connection with such
equipment do not exceed the $750,000 stated above.
 
NOTE 4--RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     During 1992, the Company established a 401(k) Retirement Plan whereby an
employee upon reaching minimum age and service requirements, may contribute up
to 10% of compensation to the Plan. Employee contributions totaled $49,999
during the year ended December 31, 1996. Additionally, the Company will provide
matching contributions for 25% of the employee's contribution which does not
exceed 8% and may make other voluntary contributions. The Company's
contributions were $15,869 during the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
NOTE 5--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company has a revolving credit agreement with the majority shareholder
of the Company that allows the Company to borrow up to $200,000. At December 31,
1996, $200,000 was outstanding under this agreement. Interest is payable monthly
at the prime-rate plus one percent (9.25% at December 31, 1996) and is due,
together with any unpaid principal, on May 31, 1997.
 
     The Company is a related party with respect to a corporate lender, since
the minority shareholder owns an equity interest in the lender. The amount of
subordinated debt owed to this corporate lender is $547,297 at December 31,
1996. Interest expense of $44,243 was incurred related to this subordinated debt
for the year ended December 31, 1996. The amount of short-term borrowings owed
to this corporate lender is $300,000 at December 31, 1996. Interest is payable
monthly at the prime rate plus 1/2 percent (8.75% at December 31, 1996) and is
due, together with unpaid principal, on May 31, 1997. Interest expense of
approximately $3,000 was incurred related to this short-term borrowing for the
year ended December 31, 1996.
 
NOTE 6--OFFICE LEASE EXPENSE
 
     During 1994, the Company entered into a five-year, noncancelable operating
lease for newly constructed office space which, in the opinion of the
management, will adequately provide for present and future needs, as currently
planned. The lease contains renewal and expansion options, some of which were
exercised during 1996, and provides for annual escalation for cost of living
increases, taxes, and maintenance and the Company's responsibility for its own
utilities. Rent expense incurred by the Company was $89,148 for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
 
     The minimum future rentals under said lease is as follows:

NOTE 7--STOCK OPTION
 
     The Company has granted an option to a minority shareholder to purchase an
additional 1,250 shares of common stock of the Company at $260 per share. The
option expires on October 7, 1999 and has not been exercised. The majority
shareholder of the Company, at his sole option, may elect to have the Company
redeem from him an equivalent number of shares at the same price to be
simultaneously resold to the option shareholder in lieu of the issuance of new
shares.
 
NOTE 8-- EVENTS (UNAUDITED) SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'
        REPORT
 
     On February 5, 1998, the minority shareholder exercised the option
described in Note 7 and purchased 1,250 shares of common stock of the Company
for $260 per share. These shares were redeemed from the majority shareholder for
the same price in lieu of the Company issuing new shares.
 
     The Company and its shareholders have entered into a letter of intent with
UniCapital Corporation (UniCapital) pursuant to which UniCapital will acquire
all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for cash and
common stock of UniCapital, concurrent with the consummation of the initial
public offering of the common stock of UniCapital.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
Stockholders
  Cauff, Lippman Aviation, Inc. and Certain Affiliates
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Cauff, Lippman
Aviation, Inc. and Certain Affiliates (includes only certain entities under
common ownership) (collectively, the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,
and the related combined statements of income, changes in equity (deficit) and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 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 audit 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Cauff,
Lippman Aviation, Inc. and Certain Affiliates at December 31, 1996 and 1997, and
the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997
 
NOTE--1 BUSINESS
 
Cauff, Lippman Aviation, Inc. and Certain Affiliates (collectively, the Company
or the Combined Affiliates) is primarily engaged in the acquisition and leasing
of used commercial jet aircraft and aircraft equipment and the leasing and sale
of such aircraft and aircraft equipment to domestic and foreign airlines and
other aircraft investors and lessors.
 
On November 7, 1997, the Company signed a letter of intent to enter into a
definitive agreement to merge with UniCapital Corporation. The accompanying
combined financial statements include the following entities that will merge:

</TABLE>
 
Various other entities affiliated with the Company are not contemplated in the
merger and have not been included in the accompanying financial statements.
 
NOTE--2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Principles of combination
 
The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the
entities outlined above affiliated by common ownership and control. CLC 747,
Inc., the 26% owned entity is accounted for under the equity method (see Note
7). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
  Rental income from operating leases
 
The Company, as lessor, leases aircraft and aircraft equipment principally under
operating leases. Accordingly, income is reported over the life of the lease as
rentals become receivable under the provisions of the lease or, in the case of
leases with varying payments, under the straight-line method over the
noncancelable term of the lease. In certain cases, leases provide for additional
amounts based on usage.
 
  Sales of equipment and commissions
 
Sales of equipment are recorded when title passes from the seller to the buyer.
Commissions are earned on the sale of aircraft between third party buyers and
sellers without the Company taking title.
 
  Equipment under operating leases
 
Equipment under operating leases is stated at cost. Major additions and
modifications are capitalized. Normal maintenance and repairs; airframe and
engine overhauls; and compliance with return conditions of aircraft and aircraft
equipment on lease are provided by and paid for by the lessee.
 
Generally, aircraft and aircraft equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over a 30 year life from the date of manufacture to a 15%
residual value. Aircraft and aircraft equipment that are under lease as of the
date of acquisition, are depreciated over the longer of the remainder of their
30 year life or the remaining lease term.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE--2  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  Deferred loan costs
 
Deferred loan costs incurred in connection with debt financing are being
amortized over the life of the debt using the straight-line method, which
approximates the interest method.
 
  Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Unaudited interim financial information
 
The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company,
the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and
results of operations and of cash flows for the interim periods. Such interim
financial data is not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal
year including such interim periods.
 
  Cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
  Concentration of credit risk
 
The Company leases and sells aircraft and aircraft equipment to domestic and
foreign airlines and other aircraft investors and lessors located throughout the
world. The Company generally obtains deposits on leases and generally does not
require collateral. The Company has no single customer which accounts for 10% or
more of revenues and continually monitors its exposure for credit losses.
 
  Accounting for the impairment of long lived assets
 
In 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" ("FAS 121"). FAS
121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. The
Company believes no impairment indicators exist at December 31, 1997.
 
NOTE--3 PRO FORMA INCOME TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
The Combined affiliates are organized as S-Corporations under the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the Corporations' taxable income
is taxable to the stockholders, rather than at the corporate level.
 
The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Combined
Statements of Income is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Company
had been subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
 
There are differences between the financial statements carrying amounts and the
tax bases of existing assets and liabilities of the entities affiliated under
common control. At December 31, 1997, the Company's net assets for financial
reporting purposes exceed the tax basis by approximately $13.0 million. In
connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital Corporation discussed in
Note 14, the Company's S Corporation election will terminate and the tax effect
of the net differences, exclusive of previous S Corporation net operating loss
carryforward, between the book and tax bases of net assets at that date
(approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 1997) will be recorded in the
financial statements.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE--4 OTHER ASSETS
 
As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, other assets consist primarily of maintenance
reserves. Maintenance reserves are charged to lessees based upon usage of the
leased aircraft. Such amounts are reimbursed to the lessee as required
maintenance is performed. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, maintenance reserves
were approximately $3.9 and $4.7 million, respectively.
 
NOTE--5 NONRECOURSE DEBT
 
Nonrecourse obligations are secured by the underlying leases and leased aircraft
and aircraft equipment having a carrying value of $23,339,737 at December 31,
1997. Of this amount, $1,469,000 has been guaranteed by the Company. For all
other nonrecourse obligations, in the event of lessee default, the lenders have
recourse only to the pledged aircraft and aircraft equipment. As of December 31,
1996 and 1997, nonrecourse obligations bear interest at varying rates ranging
from 7.84% to 11.18%, inclusive, with maturities ranging from 1998 through 2004.
 
As of December 31, 1997, maturities of nonrecourse obligations for each of the
five years and thereafter, are approximately as follows:

Under certain of the above agreements, certain lenders and other outside parties
are participants in the residual values of certain aircraft.
 
Cash paid during the year for interest was $3,294,644, $2,850,952 and $2,638,886
in 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE--7 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The accompanying combined financial statements reflect an applicable percentage
of income from CLC 747, Inc., an entity which the shareholders of the Company
own a 26% equity interest. As of December 31, 1997, CLC 747 had no operating
assets and no contracts for future operating revenues.
 
On October 1, 1997, Jumbo Jet Leasing LP, ("JJL"), an entity 100% owned by the
shareholders of the Company, entered into a transaction in which the net assets
and certain contractual rights held by CLC 747, Inc. were transferred to JJL in
exchange for approximately $25 million. Subsequent to the transaction CLC 747,
Inc. distributed the resulting proceeds to its shareholders. Accordingly, the
Company's proportionate share of these proceeds (approximately $6.2 million) has
been reflected as a capital contribution and distribution in the accompanying
combined financial statements.
 
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, payables to stockholders and affiliates, net
include $0.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, of the net outstanding
balance of advances from the Company's stockholders. Such advances are unsecured
and bear interest at 9% with no fixed or determinable due dates.
 
Due to affiliates represent the net payable to entities affiliated with the
Company which have not been combined in the accompanying financial statements.
 
In January 1998, the Company repaid approximately $6.4 million of advances from
stockholders and $635,000 of advances from minority shareholders.
 
In 1995 and 1996 the Company allocated expenses of approximately $800,000 and
$1,544,000, respectively, related to services performed on behalf of affiliated
entities which have not been combined in the accompanying financial statements.
 
NOTE--8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
During 1993, the Company had entered into two noncancelable operating leases of
aircraft for a term of five years with aggregated annual payments of
$10,380,000. In connection with these leases, the Company entered into sublease
agreements also for a term of five years with aggregated annual payments of
approximately $11,280,000. These leases mature in September, 1998.
 
The Company leases its office space pursuant to a lease with average annual
payments of approximately $85,000. The lease expires in 1999. The Company has
subleased approximately half of its leased premises for approximately $43,000
per year through March, 1998.
 
The Company is engaged in litigation arising in the normal course of business.
Management believes that the outcome of such litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial position or the results of its operations.
 
NOTE--9 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company entered into employment agreements with
its three officers. Under the terms of the agreements, the officers were
entitled to receive a base salary of $700,000 in the aggregate, in addition to
transaction origination bonuses. On November 12, 1996, one of the officers
terminated his agreement with the Company, effective December 31, 1996.
Beginning January 1, 1997, the remaining officers were entitled to receive a
base salary of $500,000 in the aggregate, in addition to transaction origination
bonuses. Such bonuses totaled $236,000 in 1996 and $11,700 in 1997.
Additionally, the officers were paid supplemental salaries totaling $1,932,000
and $800,000 in 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
NOTE--10 PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted a defined contribution profit sharing
plan (the Plan) for the benefit of all employees meeting minimum age and service
requirements. Contributions made to the Plan for the years
 
                                      F-63

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE--10 PROFIT SHARING PLAN (CONTINUED)

ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 approximated $92,000, $103,000 and
$89,000, respectively. Benefits under the Plan vest ratably over a five year
period.
 
NOTE--11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
In 1996, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with
aggregate notional amounts of approximately $10,200,000 to manage its exposure
to interest rates of the Company's floating rate nonrecourse obligations. These
agreements effectively convert certain variable rate obligations with interest
rates ranging from LIBOR to LIBOR plus 2.5% to a weighted average fixed rate of
7.9%. The difference to be paid or received varies as short-term interest rates
change and is accrued and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
Market risks arise from the movement in interest rates. The Company's credit
risk is limited to the fair market value of the interest rate swaps. During
February, 1997, the Company terminated one of the swap agreements and incurred a
loss of approximately $178,000. The remaining agreement was entered into on
December 9, 1996, matures in July, 1999, and has a notional amount of
approximately $1,469,000 at December 31, 1997.
 
The Company does not require its counterparties to provide security for its
positions with the Company. Any failure of the instruments or counterparties to
perform under the derivative contracts would have an immaterial impact on the
Company's earnings.
 
The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements are estimated
using discounted cash flows based on the Company's current incremental borrowing
rate. As of December 31, 1997, the fair value of the Company's interest rate
swap agreement approximated its notional amount.
 
The carrying value of cash and rents and other receivables in the accompanying
financial statements approximate their fair value because of the short-term
maturity of these instruments, and in the case of nonrecourse obligations
because such instruments bear variable interest rates which approximate market.
 
NOTE--12 EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
 
In 1996, the Company recognized an extraordinary gain of $598,414 on the
extinguishment of debt.
 
NOTE--13 YEAR 2000 ISSUES (UNAUDITED)
 
The Company is assessing the modifications or replacement of its software that
may be necessary for its computer systems to function properly with respect to
the dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. The Company does not believe that the
cost of either modifying existing software or converting to new software will be
significant or that the year 2000 issue will pose significant operational
problems for its computer systems.
 
NOTE--14 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     The Company and its stockholders have entered into a merger agreement with
UniCapital Corporation ("UniCapital") pursuant to which UniCapital will acquire
all outstanding shares of common stock of the combined entities affiliated by
common ownership in exchange for cash and common stock of UniCapital, concurrent
with the consummation of the initial public offering of the common stock of
UniCapital.
 
     On February 7, 1998, the majority stockholders entered into an agreement to
purchase minority stockholder's interest in the Company.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 financial position of Jacom Computer Services,
Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)
 
BUSINESS
 
     Jacom Computer Services, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the
acquisition, leasing, and sales of data processing and telecommunications
equipment. The Company acquires equipment from many sources and leases or sells
the equipment to its customers. The Company provides or arranges to provide
installation, maintenance and modification of the equipment.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
     (a) Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases
 
     The Company originates sales-type leases and recognizes a sale upon
acceptance by the customer of the equipment. Unearned income represents the
excess of the gross lease receivable plus the estimated residual value over the
present value of the gross investment in the lease. Unearned income is
recognized as revenue over the term of the lease at a constant rate of return on
the net investment.
 
     (b) Discounted Lease Payments
 
     The Company finances the originations of leases either by utilizing its own
funds; utilizing available funds under credit facilities, or by discounting the
stream of future lease payments with various financial institutions.
 
     A sale is recorded when the Company sells these receivables (which includes
sales type leases) on a nonrecourse basis and has no significant continuing
interest or risk of loss in the lease stream, but maintains ownership in the
residual value of the equipment at the end of the lease. A gain on sale is
recognized as the difference between the cash proceeds and the remaining lease
payments and unearned income on the date of sale. The Company provides billing
and collecting services for leases sold under these arrangements. The Company
follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities".
The Company did not sell lease receivables prior to 1997.
 
     (c) Operating Leases
 
     The Company purchases equipment from selected vendors of the lessee. At the
inception of the lease, no revenue is recognized and the equipment is recorded
at cost plus installation charges. The cost is depreciated by an accelerated
method over an average life of 5 years. At the end of the initial lease term,
equipment is rented by the customer according to the original rental terms, the
leases are renegotiated into new contracts, or the equipment is placed in
inventory. Items returned to the Company are either sold, released or recorded
at the lower of cost or their remaining value.
 
     Rental income is recognized in equal monthly installments over the life of
the lease. If the future lease stream is discounted, lease rental payments are
assigned and remitted to financial institutions to reduce discounted lease
payments payable.
 
     (d) Sales of Leased Equipment
 
     Revenue is recognized when the sale is consummated.
 
     (e) Cost of Equipment Sold
 
     The cost of the leased property, less the present value of the unguaranteed
residual value computed at the interest rate implied in the lease, represents
the cost of equipment sold for sales-type leases.
 
RESIDUAL VALUE
 
     The fair value of leased equipment at the end of the sales-type lease is
estimated at the inception of the lease. The present value of the unguaranteed
residual is recorded as a reduction against the cost of the equipment sold.
Unearned income is credited to revenue over the term of the lease at a constant
rate of return on the net investment. The Company revised its rates for
estimating residual values for leases originated in 1997 from those

rates used in prior years. The results of this change over what would have been
reported using prior years rates increased net income by approximately $1,900.
 
DEPOSITS ON EQUIPMENT
 
     Advances for equipment purchased and delivered to customers which do not
have a completed lease contract are recorded at cost. Once a final contract is
completed, this cost is reclassified to cost of sales or equipment for operating
leases.
 
ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOSSES
 
     In connection with the financing of leases, the Company records an
allowance for possible losses to provide for estimated future losses in the
portfolio and billings on monthly rentals and service. The allowance for
possible losses is based on a detailed analysis of any delinquencies or problem
accounts, an assessment of overall risks, management's evaluation of probable
losses in the portfolio as a whole and a review of historical loss experience.
Specific accounts are written off when the probability of loss has been
established in amounts determined to cover such losses after giving
consideration to the customer's financial condition and the value of underlying
collateral, including any guarantees.
 
TAXES ON INCOME
 
     The Company has elected S Corporation status for federal and state income
taxes. As an S Corporation, the Company is generally not subject to federal
income taxes since the operating results are included in the tax returns of
their individual stockholders. The Company is directly liable for state
franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Statement of
Operations is presented in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Company had been
subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
 
     There are differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax
basis of existing assets and liabilities. At December 31, 1997, the Company's
net assets for financial reporting purposes exceed the tax basis by
approximately $43,000. In connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital
Corporation discussed in Note 9, the Company's S Corporation election will
terminate and the tax effect of the net difference between the book and tax
basis of net assets at that date will be recorded in the combined company's
financial statements.
 
UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
     The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position
and results of operations and of cash flows for the interim periods. Such
interim financial data is not necessarily indicative of results for the entire
fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
 
     For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

                                 (IN THOUSANDS)
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
     The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in these
financial statements are the estimates for possible losses and residual value of
leased equipment. Actual results could differ from those and other estimates.
 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value
because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying
value of minimum lease payments and discounted lease payments approximated fair
value based upon quoted market prices of similar instruments.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' information to
conform with the current year's presentation.

income tax is imposed on the Company for Federal and certain state purposes.
Recoveries of taxes are due to overaccruals in prior years.

NOTE 6--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

     $1,578 and $2,935 of gross lease receivables on sales-type leases and
rental commitments on operating leases were financed through nonrecourse
discounted lease payments from the stockholder and his affiliates during 1995
and 1996, respectively. Discounted lease payments include approximately $2,677
and $781 as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company has
continued to service the balance of these receivables for billings and
collection purposes during 1997.
 
NOTE 7--OFF-BALANCE SHEET AND CREDIT RISK
 
(A) LEASE CONCENTRATIONS
 
     The Company originates equipment leases with its clients primarily for data
processing and telecommunication equipment throughout the United States.
Concentrations of credit risk arise when counterparties have similar economic
characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations
to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Credit risk
with respect to these receivables is mitigated through the Company's review of
each customer's credit history and the residual value of all equipment under
lease collateralizing these receivables. One customer comprised 13% of total
originations of sales-type leases and two customers comprised 40% and 32% of
originations of operating leases during 1997. The major concentrations of credit
risk for originations of sales-type leases grouped by geographic region are New
York--45% and New Jersey--18% with no other state accounting for more than 10%.
The major concentrations of credit risk for originations of operating leases are
New York--22%, New Jersey--21%, Pennsylvania--20%, and Massachusetts--13% with
no other state accounting for more than 10%. No one customer comprises more than
10% of the outstanding sales-type lease receivables and related accounts
receivable.
 
(B) LINES OF CREDIT
 
     The Company maintains two unsecured working capital lines of credit with a
maximum borrowing capacity of $7,000 and $3,000. The Company borrows on a
short-term basis as capital is required to maintain the volume of originations.

financing at a lower rate.
 
     The $7,000 line is guaranteed presently by the stockholder of the Company.
The balance outstanding at year-end is $-0-.
 
     The average aggregate monthly balance outstanding during 1997 was $250.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
  K.L.C., Inc.:
 
     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of K.L.C., Inc. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related statements of
income and retained earnings and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 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 audit 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 financial position of K.L.C., Inc. as of December
31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Description of business
 
     K.L.C., Inc. (the "Company") is in the business of leasing various types of
equipment throughout forty-four states, with concentration on the East coast.
The Company's diversified portfolio consists of 1,844 leases as of December 31,
1997 in a variety of industries. These arrangements are accounted for as direct
financing leases.
 
  Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
 
     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
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near-term relate to the valuation of estimated residuals on leased assets, the
determination of the allowance for lease losses and the valuation of equipment
held for leasing acquired in connection with repossessions.
 
     Management believes estimated residual values are reasonable, that the
allowance for lease losses is adequate and that equipment held for leasing is
recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. While management uses
available information to recognize reductions in estimated residual values,
losses on leases and equipment held for leasing, future reductions in estimated
residual values, additions to the allowance for lease losses or write-downs on
equipment held for leasing may be necessary based on changes in economic
conditions.
 
  Direct financing leases
 
     Direct financing leases are reported at the present value of minimum lease
payments plus the estimated residual value at the end of the lease using a
discount factor equal to the lessor's implicit interest rate. Financing income
is recognized over the term of the direct financing lease using the interest
method.
 
     Certain initial direct lease costs are deferred and amortized over the term
of the related lease as a reduction of financing income using the interest
method.
 
  Equipment held for leasing
 
     Equipment held for leasing represents equipment received from lessees which
management intends to either re-lease to a different customer or sell. It is
recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market value.
 
  Property and equipment
 
     Property and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets which range from 5 to 7 years.
 
     Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. For assets
sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the year of
disposition.
 
  Income taxes
 
     Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary
differences" between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases
of assets and liabilities by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to
future years to those differences. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  Unaudited interim financial information
 
     The interim financial data as of March 31, 1998 and for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
Company, the interim data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position
and results of operations and of cash flows for the interim periods. Such
interim financial data is not necessarily indicative of results for the entire
fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
  Cash and cash equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and
interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

     Periodically, the Company sells portions of its lease portfolio and retains
the servicing rights. These direct financing leases are sold with recourse in
the event of a default by the lessee. The purchaser's recourse is limited to a
fixed percentage amount for each pool of leases purchased. Sales of leases
occurred in 1994 and 1996. The purchaser's recourse is limited to 16.7% and
11.5% for the 1994 and 1996 sales, respectively. The Company received initial
proceeds of $10.2 million and $30.8 million for the 1994 and 1996 sales,
respectively.
 
     In connection with the 1996 sale, the Company realized a gain of
$5,362,864. Also, in connection with the 1996 sale, the Company has recorded a
receivable in the amount of $3,513,527 and $1,861,291 as of December 31, 1996
and 1997, respectively, which represents the maximum amount receivable under the
11.5% recourse provision, net of reserves of $215,027 and $350,000 as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
     In connection with the 1994 sale, the realized gain was deferred and is
being amortized into income over the life of the leases as service fee income.
 
     Service fee income on leases sold also includes late charges, over-residual
and buyout income realized through the servicing of the leases.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Matrix

consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years ended June 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Matrix Funding Corporation and Subsidiary as of June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         JUNE 30, 1995, 1996, AND 1997
 
NOTE--1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Organization and consolidation. Matrix Funding Corporation and Subsidiary,
(the Company) are primarily engaged in the business of leasing personal
property. Upon origination of the leases, the Company either sells the leases to
unrelated third parties or retains the leases for its own portfolio.
 
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activity of
Matrix Funding Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Matcan Leasing, Inc.
All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
     Concentration of credit risk. Financial instruments which potentially
subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of
investments in leases and receivables. The Company performs ongoing evaluations
of its lease investments and receivables and maintains allowances for possible
losses which, when realized, have been within the range of management's
expectations.
 
     The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times,
may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses
in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk
on cash and cash equivalents.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents
 
     Marketable securities. The Company classifies its marketable debt and
equity securities as "held to maturity" if it has the positive intent and
ability to hold the securities to maturity. All other marketable debt and equity
securities are classified as "available for sale." Securities classified as
"available for sale" are carried in the financial statements at fair value.
Realized gains and losses, determined using the specific identification method,
are included in earnings; unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Securities classified as held to
maturity are carried at amortized cost. For both categories of securities,
declines in fair value below amortized cost that are other than temporary are
included in earnings.
 
     Investments in leases. Investments in leases consist of direct financing
leases, leveraged leases and operating leases with terms ranging from 2 to 10
years. Income on direct financing leases is recognized by a method which
produces a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment in the
lease. Income on leveraged leases is recognized by a method which produces a
constant rate of return on the outstanding investment in the lease in the years
in which the net investment is positive. Initial direct costs are deferred and
amortized over the lease period. Leveraged lease assets acquired by the Company
are financed primarily through nonrecourse loans from third party debt
participants. These loans are secured by the lessee's rental obligations and the
leased property. Equipment under operating leases is recorded at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation. Income from operating leases is recognized ratably
over the term of the leases.
 
     Initial direct costs, including sales commissions, related to direct
financing leases, operating leases, and leveraged leases, are capitalized and
recorded as part of the net investment in leases and are amortized over the
lease term in the same ratio as income is recognized.
 
     Residual values estimated by management based on past experience and
judgement, are recorded in the financial statements at the inception of each
direct financing lease and leveraged lease. The residual values for operating
leases are included in the leased equipment's net book value.
 
     The Company evaluates residual values on an ongoing basis and records any
required changes. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
no upward revision of residual values is made subsequent to the period of the
inception of the lease. Residual values for direct financing leases and
leveraged leases are recorded at their net present value and the unearned
interest is amortized over the lease term so as to produce a constant percentage
return on the net present value.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE--1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Equipment held for lease. Equipment held for lease is valued at the lower
of specific unit cost or net realizable value and consists of equipment assigned
to lease contracts that are yet to commence.
 
     Property and equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property and equipment is determined
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets
ranging from 5 to 7 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed
when incurred.
 
     Operating lease depreciation. The cost of equipment under operating leases
is depreciated using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.
 
     Accounting estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management
include the determination of the allowance for lease losses and residual values.
Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
 
     Income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided in amounts sufficient to
give effect to temporary differences between financial and tax reporting,
principally related to lease accounting differences between book and tax methods
and a net operating loss carryforward.
 
     Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1996 financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.
 
     Unaudited financial information. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements presented include the accounts of Matrix Funding Corporation and
subsidiary, and include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of March 31, 1998 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998. The results of
operations for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
 
NOTE--2 NET INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES
 
     Direct financing leases expire through 2003. The lease agreements require
the lessee to pay normal maintenance, insurance, and taxes. The Company's net
investment in direct financing leases at June 30, 1996 and 1997 is summarized as
follows:

NOTE--3 NET INVESTMENT IN LEVERAGED LEASES
 
     At June 30, 1996 and 1997, the Company is the lessor of equipment accounted
for as leveraged leases expiring in various years through 2003. The Company's
aggregate equity investment represented 8 percent of the purchase price; the
remaining 92 percent was furnished by third party financing in the form of
long-term debt that provides for no recourse against the Company and is secured
by a first lien on the property. The debt is payable in aggregate monthly
installments of $362,459 with interest ranging from 8.00 to 11.00 percent. At
the end of the lease term, the equipment is turned back to the Company. The
aggregate residual balance at that time is estimated to be 18.75 percent of
cost.
 
     For income tax purposes, the Company has the benefit of tax deductions for
depreciation on the leased assets and for interest on the long-term debt. During
the early years of the leases, those deductions generally exceed rental income
from the related lease and are available to be applied against the Company's
other income. In the later years of the leases, rental income will exceed the
deductions and taxes will be payable. Deferred income taxes are provided to
reflect this reversal.
 
     During the six months ended December 31, 1997 the Company sold its
investment in leveraged leases for $5,925,289 and realized a loss for financial
statements of $352,593.
 
     The Company's net investment in leveraged leases at June 30, 1996, and 1997
is summarized as follows:

     Deferred income taxes are principally related to lease accounting
differences between book and tax methods, accrued liabilities and allowances
which are not deductible until paid or realized for tax purposes, a net
operating loss carryforward and tax credit carryforwards.
 
     At June 30, 1997, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward
available to offset future taxable income of approximately $1,800,000, which
will begin to expire in 2011. The utilization of the net operating loss
carryforward is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net
operating loss carryforward can be utilized. A change in ownership may reduce
the amount of loss allowable.
 
     The Company also has general business and other tax credit carryforwards.
The general business credit expires in 2001.

executives, officers, and key employees. Under the terms of the plan, the
Company, by authorization of its Board of Directors, may elect to contribute an
amount to the plan in addition to the compensation elected to be deferred by
participants in the plan. Each participant's account is credited with a uniform
interest rate of 8%, compounded monthly. Plan participants elected to defer
approximately $-0-, $57,750, and $304,000 of compensation for the years ended
June 30, 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively, and the Company accrued interest
thereon at 8%.

NOTE--14 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     None of the Company's financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at June
30, 1996 and 1997 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values
of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The
estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable
judgement is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value, and, accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market
exchange.
 
NOTE--15 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS
123) which established financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based compensation. The new standard defines a fair value method of
accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. This
statement gives entities the choice between

adopting the fair value method or continuing to use the intrinsic value method
under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 with footnote disclosures
of the pro forma effects if the fair value method had been adopted. The Company
has opted for the latter approach. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been
recognized for the stock option plans. Had compensation expense for the
Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant
date for awards in fiscal 1997 consistent with the provisions of FAS No. 123,
the Company's results of operations would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

To the Partners of
  Merrimac Financial Associates
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements
of operations, of partners' capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Merrimac Financial Associates (a
partnership) at December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         MERRIMAC FINANCIAL ASSOCIATES
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     Merrimac Financial Associates (the "Partnership") was organized January 1,
1984 in the State of Massachusetts. Its principal business activity is leasing
vending, amusement and coffee service equipment.
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Use of 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 date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and
related assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are
appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are
made in the assessment of collectibility of receivables and direct financing
leases, and depreciation.
 
     Accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable primarily consists of claims due
from equipment distributors pursuant to recourse provisions of certain
agreements with distributors, unpaid late fees and documentation fees assessed
at the inception of a new lease.
 
     Direct financing leases.  The Partnership invests in leases classified as
direct financing leases. The Partnership's net investment in direct financing
leases includes the gross rentals receivable and unearned finance income.
Unearned finance income represents the excess of the total receivable over the
cost of equipment or contract acquired. Revenue from direct financing leases is
recognized over the lease term using a method which approximates a level rate of
return on the net investment in the lease.
 
     The Partnership's lease terms generally provide for full payment of the net
investment in the lease through minimum lease payments. The leases provide that
the lessee pay taxes, insurance and maintenance costs of the underlying
equipment.
 
     The Partnership in most instances has agreements with certain distributors
of vending, amusement and coffee service equipment that provide the Partnership
recourse to such distributors in the event of default by the lessee.
 
     Depreciation.  Property and equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over an estimated five year useful life.
 
     Income taxes.  Merrimac Financial Associates is a partnership and, as such,
is not subject to federal or state income taxation; accordingly, no provision
for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. However,
the individual partners are responsible for federal and state taxes on their
respective shares of taxable income.
 
     There are differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities primarily related to the
Company's allowance for lease losses. At December 31, 1997, the Partnership's
net assets for financial reporting purposes is less than the tax basis by
approximately $239,000. In connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital
Corporation discussed in Note 7, the Company's tax exempt status will terminate
and the tax effect of the net difference between the book and tax bases of net
assets at that date will be recorded in the financial statements.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Statement of
Operations is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Partnership had been
subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of
operations and of cash flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial
data is not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year
including such interim periods.
 
     Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying value of the
Partnership's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and
accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value based
upon comparability of market rates for similar instruments.
 
NOTE 3--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Master Financial Associates, a related partnership having certain partners
which are also partners of the Partnership, paid administrative fees to the
Partnership of $61,552 and $30,160 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively, for servicing the liquidation of certain lease portfolios
totaling approximately $205,000 at December 31, 1997. Such fees are included in
other income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
 
NOTE 4--LEASING TRANSACTIONS
 
     Direct financing leases.  Direct financing leases consist principally of
vending, amusement and coffee service equipment with terms ranging to five
years. The components of the Partnership's net investment in direct financing
leases at December 31, 1997 were as follows:

     Line of credit. The $10,000,000 line of credit is collateralized by all of
the Partnership's assets and guaranteed jointly and severally by the partners.
The amount of outstanding debt bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% is
determined by management and may be selected from time to time from the 30 or 90
day LIBOR rate plus 1.25%, and the rate is thereafter established for 30 or 90
days, respectively. Interest on outstanding borrowings is payable monthly. The
Partnership also pays a commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused portion of
the revolving line, payable quarterly. The maximum amounts outstanding were
$10,339,000 and $9,770,000 during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
 
     The terms of the revolving line of credit agreement contain restrictions,
among others, as to the maintenance of asset quality, debt-to-worth ratios,
allowance for lease losses, profitability standards and interest coverage.
Partnership distributions can be made only for the purpose of satisfying
partners' federal and state income taxes on the Partnership taxable income
allocated to each partner. As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership was in
compliance with the restrictive covenants.
 
     The revolving credit agreement also accelerates the maturity of the entire
outstanding balance with resultant termination of the line in the event the
Partnership is not owned 100% by the current partners. Accordingly, the loan
will be paid or refinanced at the time the Partnership is acquired, as discussed
in Note 7.

responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the 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 audit 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 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 financial position of Municipal Capital Markets

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997
 
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a
securities broker/dealer. Its primary activity is underwriting tax-exempt
municipal bond and lease issues. A summary of the Company's significant
accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial
statements follows.
 
     Cash equivalents.  For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly
liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents.
 
     Securities.  Securities are carried at market value. Transactions are
recorded on the trade date.
 
     Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization are provided
for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations
over their estimated service lives. Furniture and equipment are being
depreciated by the straight-line method over five years.
 
     Income taxes.  Taxable income or loss from the operations of the Company is
reported in the personal tax returns of the stockholders pursuant to an election
under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The unaudited pro forma income
tax information included in the statement of operations is presented in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting
for Income Taxes" as if the Company had been subject to federal income taxes for
all periods presented.
 
     At December 31, 1997, the differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets are not material. In
connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital Corporation contemplated
herein, the Company's S Corporation election will terminate, and the tax effect
of the net difference between the book and tax bases of net assets at that date
will be recorded in the financial statements.
 
     Use of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations and of
cash flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such
interim periods.
 
     Reclassifications.  Certain prior year account balances have been
reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.
 
NOTE 2--NET CAPITAL
 
     Pursuant to Rule 15c 3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Company is required to maintain minimum net capital, as defined under such rule.
Under the above rules, the Company's "aggregate indebtedness," as defined,
cannot exceed 1500% of its "net capital," as defined, and net capital must be no
less than $100,000. Net capital and the related percentage may fluctuate on a
daily basis. At December 31, 1997, net capital was $234,632, and the percentage
of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 135.6% Net capital in excess of
requirements was $134,632.
 
NOTE 3--RETIREMENT PLAN
 
     Effective December 31, 1996, the Company established a Simplified Employee
Pension Plan for eligible employees. Company contributions are voluntary and at
the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Company's contribution expense was
$64,247 and $67,500 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To The NSJ Group
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet and the related
statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The NSJ Group at
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                                 THE NSJ GROUP
 
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     The NSJ Group (the "Company") is comprised of five entities affiliated by
common ownership and control and certain investments in affiliated companies.
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and leasing of used
commercial jet aircraft and aircraft equipment and the leasing and sale of such
aircraft and aircraft equipment, to domestic and foreign airlines and other
aircraft investors and lessors.
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Principles of combination and basis of presentation.  The accompanying
combined financial statements include the accounts of five entities and
investments in less than majority-owned companies which are under common
ownership and control. Investments of between 20% and 50% are accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated. Certain entities related to the Company (collectively, the
"Uncombined Related Entities") have not been combined in the accompanying
financial statements as the outstanding shares of these entities will not be
purchased by UniCapital Corporation (See Note 9).
 
     The Combined Statement of Operations includes all revenues and expenses
directly attributable to the Company, including expenses for facilities,
functions and services used by the Company at shared sites and costs for certain
functions and services performed by the Uncombined Related Entities and also
includes allocations of costs for administrative functions and services
performed on behalf of the Company by the Uncombined Related Entities. These
costs have been allocated based upon estimates of the proportion of time spent
by management and other personnel of the Uncombined Related Entities in
connection with matters related to the Company. Such allocated costs, which
amounted to $293,218, $437,269 and $250,038 in 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as
selling, general and administrative expenses and as a direct contribution to
capital.
 
     Management believes the Combined Statement of Operations includes a
reasonable allocation of costs incurred by the Uncombined Related Entities which
benefit the Company. Accordingly, the financial information included herein is
not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been reported if the
Company had operated as a separate unaffiliated entity.
 
     Use of 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 date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and
related assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are
appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are
made in the assessment of collectibility of receivables, recovery of residual
values of leased equipment, depreciation and amortization.
 
     Accounts receivable and concentrations of credit risk.  The Company leases
and sells aircraft and aircraft equipment to domestic and foreign airlines and
other aircraft investors and lessors located throughout the world. The Company
generally obtains deposits on leases and generally does not require collateral.
The Company continually monitors its exposure for credit losses.

     Operating leases.  The Company leases aircraft and aircraft equipment to
customers under operating leases as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." Revenue is recognized over the
minimum term of operating leases on a straight-line basis.
 
     Deferred loan costs.  Deferred loan costs incurred in connection with debt
financing are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
debt.
 
     Aircraft and aircraft equipment held for sale or lease.  Aircraft and
aircraft equipment held for sale or lease is stated at cost. Major additions and
modifications are capitalized.
 
     Depreciation.  Aircraft and aircraft equipment are generally depreciated
using the straight-line method over a 30-year life from the date of manufacture
to a 15% residual value. Aircraft and aircraft equipment that are under lease as
of the date of acquisition, are depreciated over the longer of the remainder of
their 30 year life or the remaining lease term.
 
     Income taxes.  The entities affiliated under common control which comprise
the Company have elected S Corporation status under the Internal Revenue Code.
As an S Corporation, the entities generally are not subject to federal income
taxes since the operating results of the entities are included in the tax
returns of their individual stockholders. The entities are directly liable for
state income and franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Combined
Statement of Operations is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Company
had been subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
 
     There are differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities of the entities affiliated
under common control. At December 31, 1997, the Company's net assets for
financial reporting purposes exceed the tax basis by approximately $6,100,000.
In connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital Corporation discussed in
Note 9, the Company's S Corporation election will terminate and the tax effect
of the net difference, exclusive of previous S Corporation net operating loss
carryforwards, between the book and tax bases of net assets at that date ($13.5
million at December 31, 1997) will be recorded in the financial statements.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents.  For purposes of the Combined Statement of Cash
Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying value of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of long-term receivables and payables approximated fair value
based upon market rates for similar instruments.

     Aircraft and aircraft equipment.  Aircraft and aircraft equipment held for
sale or lease are stated at cost. Major additions and modifications are
capitalized. Aircraft and aircraft equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over a 30-year life from the date of manufacture to a 15%
residual value. Aircraft and aircraft equipment that are under lease as of the
date of acquisition, are depreciated over the longer of the remainder of their
30 year life or the remaining lease term.
 
     Advances from shareholders.  The affiliated companies have funded certain
purchases of aircraft and aircraft equipment using funds advanced by their
shareholders. These shareholder loans are unsecured, bear interest at 12% and
have no stated maturity date. Advances will be repaid if and when there are
sufficient funds to make repayments.
 
     Nonrecourse obligations.  The affiliated companies have also funded
purchases of aircraft and aircraft equipment using nonrecourse debt. Under these
arrangements, the affiliated companies have assigned substantially all lease
payments from the applicable leases and granted a security interest in the
leased equipment to the lending institution. In the event of a default by a
lessee on the nonrecourse notes, the lender has a first lien against the lease
payments and underlying equipment, but has no further recourse against the
affiliated companies. In conjunction with these debt agreements, the
stockholders of the affiliated companies have also entered into stock pledge
agreements which pledge their stock in the affiliated companies to the
respective lending institution. Interest on these nonrecourse obligations is
principally at rates ranging from 8.45% to 10.67% at December 31, 1996 and 1997.
Maturities on these nonrecourse obligations range from the years 2003 to 2004.
 
     Other.  The Company's share of undistributed earnings of affiliated
companies included in consolidated retained earnings was ($5,000), $896,061 and
$3,715,220 at December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Distributions from
affiliated companies were $0, $0 and $1,500,000 in 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.
 
NOTE 6--DEPOSITS AND OTHER ASSETS
 
     As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, deposits and other assets consist
primarily of lessee security deposits and maintenance reserves. Lessee deposits
are paid by the lessee prior to the inception of the lease and are refundable to
the lessee based on the terms of the various leases. Maintenance reserves are
funded by the lessees and charged to lessees based upon usage of the leased
aircraft and aircraft equipment. Such amounts are reimbursed to the lessee as
required maintenance is performed. As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, security
deposits and maintenance reserves were approximately $742,025 and $2,119,948,
respectively.
 
     Other assets consist primarily of deferred loan costs of $298,647 and
$457,505 net of accumulated amortization of $43,544 and $316,094 at December
1996 and 1997, respectively, associated with the Company's nonrecourse

stock pledge agreements which pledge their stock in the entities affiliated by
common ownership and control and grant a security interest in such stock to the
respective lending institution. Interest on these borrowings is principally at
rates ranging from 8.81% to 13.43% at December 31, 1996 and 9.22% to 10.86% at
December 31, 1997. Certain of these debt agreements provide for a sharing of
profits on sales of aircraft or lease terminations with the participating
lender. The profit sharing percentages payable by the Company to the lender
range from 20% to 70%. However, certain agreements limit the amount of profit
share that is payable by the Company. Amounts paid pursuant to such profit
sharing arrangement approximated $295,000, $0 and $660,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively, and are recorded as a reduction
of revenue from sales of equipment.
 
     On January 14, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement for the partial
extinguishment of debt and accrued interest payable recorded at approximately
$1,434,000 and $393,000, respectively, at December 31, 1997 in the accompanying
financial statements. According to the terms of this agreement, if the Company
makes payments to the lender totaling approximately $457,000 on or before May
30, 1998, such payments will be accepted by the lender in full payment and
satisfaction of all obligations of the Company under the related notes payable.
Upon payment of the $457,000 by the Company in 1998, the gain on the
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,370,000 will be recorded as an
extraordinary item in the Company's 1998 results of operations.
 
     Future minimum principal payments.  The aggregate annual maturities of the

</TABLE>
 
     In 1996, $266,000 of property which was no longer being used to provide
service was written off by increasing accumulated depreciation with a charge to
depreciation expense.
 
     Capitalized leased equipment.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, included
in property and equipment are capitalized leased equipment with original costs
of $108,312 and $202,655, respectively. The leased equipment is amortized over
the life of the lease using the straight-line method. Accumulated amortization
at December 31, 1996 and 1997 was $10,832 and $46,832 respectively. Amortization
expense is included in depreciation expense.
 
     Income taxes.  The Company is a partnership and is treated as such for
income tax purposes. Accordingly, it is not subject to payment of federal or
state income taxes. However, the individual partners are responsible for federal
and state taxes on their respective shares of taxable income.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Statements
of Operations is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Company had been
subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented. As the
Company has historically incurred losses, the tax effect of these losses have
been offset by a valuation allowance and no tax benefits have been reflected in
the unaudited pro forma information.
 
     Had the Company been subject to income taxes, there would be differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing
assets and liabilities. At December 31, 1997, the Company's net assets for
financial reporting purposes would have been less than the tax basis by
approximately $175,000 (unaudited). Additionally, the Company would have a net
operating loss carryforward of approximately $6.6 million (unaudited).
 
     Statements of cash flows.  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include unrestricted cash in banks and temporary investments
with an original maturity of three months or less.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Use of estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
     Fair value of financial instruments.  The Company's financial instruments
consist of accounts receivable and capital leases payable (other liabilities).
At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the fair value of the Company's receivables and
leases payable approximated the carrying value.
 
     Revenue recognition.  PFSC offers a variety of lease portfolio servicing
options, consisting of collections, customer service, contract booking, payment
application, collateral filing and perfection, information system help desk,
property, sales and use tax reporting, acting as servicer backup and other
services as they relate to leases. PFSC neither owns nor originates leases.
 
     Lease servicing contracts are typically entered into with customers for a
period of one to three years. Contract revenues consist primarily of monthly
fees collected for booking contracts and monthly maintenance fees based on the
total number of contracts serviced.
 
     For 1996, three of the Company's customers accounted for 45%, 21% and 19%
of total revenues. During the year ended December 31, 1997, two of the Company's
customers accounted for 50% and 13% of total revenues.
 
NOTE 3--PARTNERS' FINANCIAL SUPPORT
 
     As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, PFSC has received
substantial equity contributions from its partners over the past several years
to support its operations. PFSC has received a financial commitment from its
partners to continue their financial support by providing funds necessary to
support PFSC's operations as anticipated in the 1998 budget. The financial
commitment is valid through the earlier of January 1, 1999 or the sale of PFSC
(see Note 6).
 
NOTE 4--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
     Operating lease.  PFSC has a noncancellable operating lease for office
space that expires August 31, 2000. Rent expense for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997 was $224,893 and $241,136, respectively. Future minimum

To the Stockholders of
  Varilease Corporation
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Varilease
Corporation and its subsidiary at September 30, 1996 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. 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 of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                      VARILEASE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     Varilease Corporation (the "Company") was organized in 1987 in the State of
Michigan. The Company's principal business activity is acquiring computer,
computer-related and telecommunications equipment for sale or lease, as lessor,
under direct financing or operating leases.
 
     The Company's principal operating facilities are located in Detroit, MI,
with operations in St. Louis, MO and Phoenix, AZ. Lessees are located in 45
states, and financing is provided through a variety of lease structures.
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Use of 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 date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and
related assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are
appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are
made in the assessment of collectibility of receivables and direct financing
leases, recovery of residual values of leased equipment and depreciation.
 
     Principles of consolidation.  The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Varilease Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Varilease
Capital Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
 
     Investments.  Investments in entities that are 20% owned are accounted for
on the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
 
     Accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable primarily consists of lease
payments due from lessees on operating leases and from other parties for the
sale of equipment.
 
     Direct financing leases.  The Company invests in leases classified as
direct financing leases. The Company's net investment in direct financing leases
includes the gross rentals receivable, estimates of residual values, deferred
initial direct costs accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 91 "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs
Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of
Leases" and unearned finance income. Unearned finance income represents the
excess of the total receivable plus the estimated residual value over the cost
of equipment or contract acquired. Revenue from direct financing leases is
recognized over the lease term on the interest method which results in a level
rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs related
to leases retained are capitalized and amortized over the lease term.
 
     At the inception of the lease, management uses available evidence and
historical experience to estimate the residual value at the end of the lease
term. Estimated residual values not guaranteed by lessees are reviewed quarterly
and adjusted to reflect declines in current market value.
 
     The Company also sells selected direct financing leases. For these
transactions subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company follows Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The difference between
the sales price and the net investment in direct financing leases is recognized
as a gain or loss. For such transactions prior to January 1, 1997, the Company
followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 77 "Reporting by
Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse." The difference between
the sale price and the net receivable is recognized as a gain or loss.
 
     Operating leases.  All lease transactions not qualifying as direct
financing leases are classified as operating leases. Revenue is recognized over
the minimum term of the operating lease on a straight-line basis.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

     Equipment under operating leases is depreciated to its estimated residual
value on a straight-line basis over the minimum term of the lease.
 
     Initial direct costs related to leases retained are capitalized and
amortized over the lease term.
 
     Equipment under lease held for sale.  Computer and other equipment under
lease held for sale is stated at the lower of cost or fair market value of the
equipment.
 
     Depreciation.  Property and equipment is depreciated over the useful lives
of the related asset on methods which approximate a straight-line basis. Useful
lives range from three to five years for equipment and to 31 years for a
building.
 
     Income taxes.  Prior to October 1, 1996, the Company elected to be taxed as
a Subchapter S Corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, no
taxes were recorded prior to that date. Instead, the operating results of the
Company are included in the tax returns of the individual stockholders.
Effective October 1, 1996, the Company discontinued its election to be treated
as an S Corporation and elected to be taxed as a C Corporation.
 
     Subsequent to September 30, 1996, the Company accounted for income taxes
under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. The initial adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), resulted in the recording of a
deferred tax liability of $3,789,000 at October 1, 1996.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations is presented in accordance with SFAS 109, as if the
Company had been subject to federal and state income taxes for the periods
presented for which it operated as an S Corporation.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents.  For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
     Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying value of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of long-term receivables and payables approximated fair value
based upon comparability of market rates for similar instruments.

leasing entity ("Seller") seeking protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code and the signing of a remarketing agreement for
certain leases, the Company guaranteed to the Seller $14,400,000 of net proceeds
from the results of remarketing activities for certain leases held by the
Seller. The Company believes that the remarketing proceeds generated by the sale
or release of the assets underlying the leases will be sufficient to satisfy, in
its entirety, the Company's obligation. At September 30, 1997, the Company's
guaranteed obligation which remained unpaid approximated $3,000,000.

                          THE WALDEN ASSET GROUP, INC.
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
     The Walden Asset Group, Inc. (the "Company") is a Massachusetts
corporation, established in February 1991, under Subchapter S of the Internal
Revenue Code. Its principal business activity is the structuring of lease
financing to assist customers in the acquisition of capital and production
equipment, and computer hardware and peripherals.
 
     The Company operates from locations in Wellesley, MA, Delmar, NY,
Northfield, OH and Norwalk, CT. Lessees are located in 15 states, and financing
is provided through a variety of lease structures.
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     Use of 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 date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. While management believes that the estimates and
related assumptions used in the preparation of these financial statements are
appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are
made in the assessment of collectibility of receivables and direct financing
leases, recovery of residual values of leased equipment and depreciation.
 
     Unaudited interim financial information.  The interim financial data as of
March 31, 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 is
unaudited; however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the financial position and results of operations and of cash
flows for the interim periods. Such interim financial data is not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire fiscal year including such interim periods.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents.  For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows,
the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances
at financial institutions which, at times, are in excess of federally insured
limits.
 
     Accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable primarily consists of lease
payments receivable from lessees on operating leases and remarketing fees
receivable.
 
     Direct financing leases.  The Company invests in leases classified as
direct financing leases. The Company's net investment in direct financing leases
includes the gross rentals receivable, estimates of residual values and unearned
finance income. Unearned finance income represents the excess of the total
receivable plus the estimated residual value over the cost of equipment
acquired. Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term
on the interest method which results in a level rate of return on the net
investment in the lease. Management does not consider initial direct costs
related to leasing activities material for capitalization; accordingly, such
costs are charged to operations in the period incurred.
 
     At the inception of the lease, management uses available evidence and
historical experience to estimate the residual value at the end of the lease
term. Estimated residual values not guaranteed by lessees are reviewed annually
and adjusted to reflect declines in current market value.
 
     The Company has, from time-to-time, sold selected direct financing leases.
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities." The difference between the sales price and the net investment
in direct financing leases is recognized as a gain or loss. For such
transactions prior to January 1, 1997, the Company followed Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 77, "Reporting by Transferors for Transfers
of Receivables with Recourse." The difference between the sales price and the
net receivable is recognized as a gain or loss.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED
 
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
     Operating leases.  All lease transactions not qualifying as direct
financing are classified as operating leases. Revenue is recognized over the
minimum term of operating leases on a straight-line basis. Equipment under
operating leases is depreciated to its estimated residual value on a
straight-line basis over five years.
 
     Equipment acquired to fulfill leasing commitments.  Computer and other
equipment acquired to fulfill leasing commitments represents cost of equipment
purchased pursuant to firm leasing commitments which will be delivered to
lessees in the near term.
 
     Income taxes.  The Company has elected S Corporation status under the
Internal Revenue Code. As an S Corporation, the Company generally is not subject
to federal income taxes since the revenues and expenses of the Company are
included in the tax returns of the individual stockholders. The Company is
directly liable for state income and franchise taxes in certain jurisdictions.
 
     There are differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities primarily related to direct
financing leases. At December 31, 1997, the Company's net assets for financial
reporting purposes exceeds the tax basis by approximately $3,064,000. In
connection with the proposed merger with UniCapital Corporation, as discussed in
Note 8, the Company's S Corporation election will terminate and the tax effect
of the net difference between the book and tax bases of net assets at that date
will be recorded in the financial statements.
 
     The unaudited pro forma income tax information included in the Statement of
Operations is presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as if the Company had been
subject to federal and state income taxes for all periods presented.
 
     Fair value of financial instruments.  The carrying value of the Company's
financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable
approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying value of notes payable approximated fair value based upon comparability
of market rates for similar instruments.
 
NOTE 3--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     The Company periodically sells, for cash, its rights under certain
remarketing contracts to Walden Asset Associates, a New York partnership. The
Company and its three stockholders have equal ownership interests in the
partnership. Proceeds generated by the partnership from remarketing activities
are used to fund the key man life insurance policies on the Company's
stockholders. During 1997, remarketing income of $10,000 was recorded from these
transactions. There was no such activity in 1995 or 1996.
 
NOTE 4--LEASING TRANSACTIONS
 
     Direct financing leases.  Direct financing leases consist principally of
capital equipment (such as forklifts), media production and telecommunications
equipment, computer hardware and peripherals, and furniture with terms ranging
to five years. The components of the Company's net investment in direct
financing leases at December 31, 1996 and 1997 were as follows:

     Line of credit.  The Company has a $4,000,000 line of credit with a
financial institution, due on demand, all of which was unused at December 31,
1997. The line of credit agreement expires in May 1998, is collateralized by a
security interest in the assets of the Company, and is guaranteed jointly and
severally by the stockholders. Interest on the facility is computed at the prime
lending rate adjusted for a margin depending on the credit of the underlying
lessee. The maximum amounts outstanding were $2,837,095 and $1,050,000 during
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
     The terms of the line of credit agreement contain restrictions, including

outstanding from financial institutions on a nonrecourse basis. Under these

interest in the lease payments and underlying equipment, but has no further
recourse against the Company. Interest on these borrowings is fixed at the time
of the advance to the Company, with rates primarily ranging from 6% to 9% at
