Item 5.         Interest in Securities of the Issuer
                (a), (c) and (e)


     On September 24, 1996, Equity Holdings ("EH") distributed the 3,042,253
shares of Common Stock it owned to its partners:  608,451 shares to Samuel
Zell, Trustee of the Samuel Zell Revocable Trust under trust agreement dated
January 17, 1990 and 2,433,802 shares to B/S Investments, an Illinois general
partnership ("B/S").  B/S then distributed the 2,433,802 shares to its four
partners:  1)  730,141 shares to Alphabet Partners, an Illinois general
partnership;  2)  486,760 shares to Anda Partnership, a Nevada general
partnership ("Anda");  3)  486,760 shares to LFT Partnership, an Illinois
general partnership; and 4)  730,141 shares to ZFT Partnership, an Illinois
general partnership.

     Anda then distributed the 486,760 shares of Common Stock to its ten
partners which are all trusts created for the benefit of Ann Lurie.  Such
trusts, pursuant to the trusts' agreements, then distributed the shares to their
primary beneficiary, Ann Lurie.  Ann Lurie then contributed the 486,760 to her
revocable trust, the Ann Lurie Revocable Trust under trust agreement dated
December 22, 1989, of which she is the sole trustee.

     As a result of the above, on September 24, 1996, EH ceased to be the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of Capsure Holdings Corp., formerly
Nucorp, Inc.
