NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996


     1.   The  consolidated  balance sheet of GATX Capital  Corporation  and its
          subsidiaries ("the Company") at December 31, 1996 was derived from the
          audited  financial  statements  at that date.  All other  consolidated
          financial  statements  are  unaudited  and  include  all  adjustments,
          consisting only of normal recurring items, which management  considers
          necessary  for  a  fair  statement  of  the  consolidated  results  of
          operations  and  financial  position  for  and  as of  the  end of the
          indicated  periods.  Operating  results for the six-month period ended
          June 30, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that may
          be achieved for the entire year.

     2.   Certain  prior  year  amounts  have been  reclassified  to  conform to
          current presentation.

     3.   The  Company  is engaged in  various  matters  of  litigation  and has
          unresolved  claims pending.  While the amounts claimed are substantial
          and the  ultimate  liability  with  respect to such  claims  cannot be
          determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that damages,
          if any,  required to be paid by the Company in the  discharge  of such
          liability  are not likely to be  material to the  Company's  financial
          position or results of operations.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION, continued
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income earned during the second quarter and during the six months ended June
30, 1997,  exceeded net income  earned during the  corresponding  periods in the
prior year by $2.2 million  (20%) and $15.9  million  (80%),  respectively.  The
increases  during both periods are due primarily to higher  investment and asset
management  income related to asset  remarketing  and fees earned from arranging
financing transactions.

Investment and Asset Management
- --------------------------------
The  Company  invests  in a wide  variety  of  assets  and  generates  income by
financing  equipment (through lease, loan and joint venture  investments),  from
the  remarketing  of assets,  and from fees generated by managing the investment
portfolios  of others and from  brokering or arranging  financing  transactions.

Investment and asset  management  revenue  increased as a result of increases in
asset remarketing income and fees from arranging financing transactions, as well
as higher investment balances.  Although historically a significant  contributor
to income, asset remarketing  opportunities,  which are realized at lease end or
in response to specific market  conditions,  do not occur evenly between periods
and the income they  generate can  fluctuate  significantly  depending on market
conditions.  Similarly,  transaction  fees do not occur evenly between  periods.
Higher investment balances during 1997,  including those funded with off-balance
sheet financing and those of Centron (which was acquired in October 1996),  also
contributed to the increase in investment and asset management  revenue, as well
as to higher operating lease expense.

Technology Equipment Sales and Service
- ----------------------------------------
With  the  October  1996  acquisition  of the 50% of  Centron,  which it did not
already own, the Company  expanded its  technology  equipment  sales and service
business.  Centron is a  technology  solutions  provider  that offers  products,
technical  service  and  financial  services  required  for  building  corporate
information  networks.  The sales and technical  services offered by Centron are
included in this segment of the business. Lease and other financing alternatives
offered by Centron are included in the investment and asset management  business
segment.


Higher average borrowings (to fund new investments and from the consolidation of
Centron) resulted in interest expense being higher than last year.

Selling,  general and administrative costs increased over 1996, due primarily to
higher human resource and other  administrative  costs  resulting from increased
business activity, including the impact of the acquisition of Centron.

The  allowance  for  losses  increased  during the first six months of 1997 as a
result of a $6.0 million  provision for losses and $1.4 million in recoveries of
previously written off investments. There were no significant write-downs during
this period.  At June 30, 1997,  the allowance for losses is 7% of  investments,
including  off-balance  sheet  assets  and after  deducting  nonleveraged  lease
nonrecourse debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Floating  rate  debt  financing  represented  22.7%  of  the  Company's  capital
structure at June 30, 1997. These borrowings  support  investments tied to LIBOR
and other similar rates.  Fluctuations  in interest  rates may impact  earnings,
either  negatively or  positively,  depending on the Company's net floating rate
asset or debt  position.  At June 30, 1997,  the Company had $38.7  million more
floating rate debt than floating rate assets.

At June 30,  1997,  the  Company had  approved  unfunded  transactions  totaling
approximately $135.5 million,  including approximately $95.1 million expected to
fund during the remainder of 1997. Once approved for funding,  a transaction may
not be  completed  for various  reasons,  or the  investment  may be shared with
partners or sold.

The Company  generates  cash from  operations  and  portfolio  proceeds  and has
certain  facilities for borrowing.  In addition,  certain lease transactions are
financed by obtaining  nonrecourse  loans equal to the present  value of some or
all of the rental stream. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company
used the cash generated  from  operations,  from  investing  activities and from
short-term borrowings to repay $130 million of debt financing. At June 30, 1997,
the  Company  had a $300  million  shelf  registration  for Series D medium term
notes,  of which $32 million was  available,  and had unused  capacity under its
commercial paper and bankers'  acceptances  credit agreements of $146.1 million.
Two of the Company's  subsidiaries  maintain various stand-alone bank facilities
which had unused capacity aggregating $52.2 million as of June 30, 1997.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain  statements  in the  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  constitute
forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the
Company  believes  that  the  expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking
statements are based on reasonable  assumptions,  such statements are subject to
risks and  uncertainties,  and could cause actual  results to differ  materially
from those projected.
