(1)  Accounting and Financial Reporting Policies
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Security Capital Corporation and all of its subsidiaries engaged in continuing
operations ("Security Capital" or the "Company"). The Company owns, through its
90% owned subsidiary P.D. Holdings, Inc. ("P.D. Holdings"), 90% (77.5% on a
fully-diluted basis) of the outstanding shares of Possible Dreams, Ltd.
("Possible Dreams"), a Delaware corporation. Possible Dreams acquired
substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Possible
Dreams, Ltd. and Columbia National Corporation, both Massachusetts corporations.
Possible Dreams operates as an importer, designer, warehouser and distributor of
collectible Christmas figurines and ornaments and, to a lesser extent, religious
statutes. On June 27, 1997, the Company's subsidiary, Pumpkin Masters Holdings,
Inc., through its subsidiary, Pumpkin Ltd. ("Pumpkin"), both Delaware
corporations, acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain
liabilities of Pumpkin Ltd. d/b/a Pumpkin Masters, Inc., a Colorado corporation.
Pumpkin is engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing pumpkin and
watermelon carving kits and related accessories. All significant inter-company
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Security
Capital, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, without audit.

Security Capital's accounting and financial reporting policies conform with
generally accepted accounting principles and include adjustments in interim
periods, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial statements. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Security Capital believes that
the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. Prior period financial statements are presented for comparative
purposes. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the latest Annual Report of Security Capital on Form 10-K.

(2)  Federal Income Taxes
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company computes deferred income taxes based on the differences between the
financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse.

The tax effects of the items comprising the Company's net deferred tax assets at
December 31, 1997 in the Company's statement of financial position are as
follows:

In addition, in connection with the disposition of a former subsidiary of the
Company, the Company incurred a tax loss amounting to approximately $26 million.
The Company believes that a substantial portion of this loss is an ordinary loss
for Federal income tax purposes which may be carried forward to 2004, although
there can be no assurance that this position would prevail, if challenged. The
Company's Federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") through fiscal year 1986 and the above loss carry-forwards,
including the loss on disposition of the aforementioned subsidiary, remain
subject to review by the IRS.

(3)  Earnings Per Share Calendar Year 1998 and Calendar Year 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earnings per common and common equivalent share amounts are based on the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock
outstanding and the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding stock options. The
sum of Common Stock and Class A Common Stock is used because the two classes are
identical except for certain transfer restrictions imposed on the Class A Common
Stock. The remaining outstanding stock options expired during calendar year 1997
and the conversion of these options were anti-dilutive for calendar year 1997
and had no impact on all periods presented.

As of December 31, 1997, FGS and its designees converted its 30,000 shares of
Class A Preferred Stock and $1,987,500 of accrued dividends into 1,246,875 of
Class A Common Stock at a valuation of $4 per share.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of
basic and fully diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):

                      Calendar Year 1998        Calendar Year 1997
                      6 MONTHS   3 MONTHS     6 MONTHS      3 MONTHS

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-
Security Capital reported a net loss of $46,000 and $934,000 for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively. This compares to net losses
of $111,000 and 464,000 for the same three and six month periods of the prior
calendar year. The Company reported a net loss per common share of $.01 and $.18
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, as
compared to a net loss per common share (after accrual for Class A Preferred
Stock dividends) of $.03 and $.11 for the same three and six month periods of
the prior calendar year.

Product sales of the Company increased to $5,870,000 and $8,993,000 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, due to strong
demand for the Company's products. This represents an increase of 68% for the
quarter and 49% for the six month period ended June 30, 1998. The Company's
products are very seasonal in nature and, due to this seasonal pattern, the
Company typically records a substantial portion of its revenues in the third and
fourth calendar quarters. Part of the increase in product sales ($599,000) for
the quarter was attributable to the addition of Pumpkin to the Company's
consolidated financial statements in the current year, since the acquisition
occurred at the end of the second quarter on June 27, 1997 and none of its
product sales were included in the second quarter of 1997. Selling, general and
administration expense increased by 54% to $2,337,000 for the quarter as
compared to $1,520,000 for the same prior year quarter, primarily due to
increased marketing and commission costs and the addition of Pumpkin selling,
general and administrative expense to the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Depreciation and amortization increased by 153% in the current
quarter to $309,000 as compared to $122,000 for the same prior year quarter. The
increase was due to the addition of Pumpkin and its related depreciation and
amortization cost to the Company's consolidated financial statements in the
current quarter. Other expense increased 42% to $381,000 in the current quarter
as compared to $268,000 in the same prior year quarter. This increase was
primarily due to the net effect of increased interest cost due to the
acquisition of Pumpkin and the reduction in income in the current year due to
the sale in the prior year of the Company's insurance agency affiliate.

On June 12, 1998 Pumpkin acquired the business and related assets of Our Kids
for $250,000 and potential future other considerations. The assets acquired
included inventory, molds, trademarks, supplies and accounts receivable. The
Company does not consider this a major acquisition and the new product lines did
not contribute significant revenues to the second quarter results.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2,165,000, or 22% to $7,876,000 at June
30, 1998 as compared to $10,041,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease in cash
and cash equivalents was primarily due to the seasonal nature of the Company's
business.. The Company's consolidated working capital at June 30, 1998,
decreased by $2,271,000, or 16% to $12,248,000 from $14,519,000 at December 31,
1997. The Company experiences a significant seasonal pattern not only in its
operating results but also in its cash flow and working capital requirements.
The Company generally has greater working capital needs in its second and third
calendar quarters and has greater cash availability in its fourth calendar
quarter. During the second quarter, the Company's bank borrowings increased by
$7,769,000 due to increased inventory purchases by Possible Dreams and Pumpkin
in anticipation of their peak shipping periods, which are the third and fourth
calendar quarters for both companies.

The Company expects no major increase in capital expenditures during the
remainder of calendar year 1998. The Company believes it has sufficient cash on
hand to meet the Company's working capital and operating expenditure
requirements during calendar year 1998 and to compete for other acquisition
opportunities.
