Class B Common Stock
(par value $.01 per share)
 
All of the shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class
B Shares"), of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital" or the
"Company"), being offered hereby are being offered by Security Capital. Prior
to this offering (the "Offering"), there has been no public market for the
Class B Shares. It is currently anticipated that the initial public offering
price will be between $      and $      per Class B Share. See "Underwriting"
for further information regarding factors to be considered in determining the
initial public offering price.
 
Security Capital's authorized capital stock includes Class B Shares and Class A
Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Shares," and together with
the Class B Shares, the "Shares"). The rights of holders of Class A Shares and
Class B Shares differ as follows: the holders of Class A Shares are entitled to
one vote, while the holders of Class B Shares are entitled to one two-hundredth
( 1/200th) of a vote, for each share held of record on all matters submitted to
a vote of shareholders; and holders of Class B Shares are entitled to receive
dividends and distributions (including liquidating distributions) equal to one-
fiftieth ( 1/50th) of the amount per share declared by the Board of Directors
of Security Capital (the "Board") for each Class A Share. Upon completion of
the Offering, the holders of the Class A Shares will control approximately
    % of the total voting power of Security Capital (    % if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full). Each Class A Share can be
converted into 50 Class B Shares beginning on January 1, 1998 at the option of
the holder thereof.
 
Application will be made for listing of the Class B Shares on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "     ", although no assurance can be
given that such application will be granted.
 
Class B Shares are being reserved for sale to certain directors and employees
of the Company and its affiliates at the initial public offering price. See
"Underwriting." Such directors and employees are expected to purchase, in the
aggregate, not more than   % of the Class B Shares offered in the Offering.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
This summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction
with, the more detailed information and financial statements appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the information
contained in this Prospectus assumes (i) an estimated initial public offering
price of $      per Class B Share (the midpoint of the range of estimated
initial public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus),
(ii) no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option and (iii) approval
by the shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI (each as defined below) of the
proposed merger transactions described below (see "Business--The Proposed
Mergers").
 
                      SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
 
Security Capital is a real estate research, investment and management company.
Management has assembled a superior team of operating and investment
professionals to implement the firm's strategy. Prior to the Offering, Security
Capital was owned primarily by directors, officers, employees and 65 major
domestic and foreign institutional investors.
 
Security Capital's strategy is to create the optimal organization to lead and
profit from global real estate securitization. Security Capital will implement
this strategy by:
 
  . Providing leadership in real estate research conducted on a global basis.
    Security Capital's proprietary research, which is available to Security
    Capital's affiliates, provides a strong foundation for its capital
    deployment strategy.
 
  . Continuing to invest its capital in fully integrated, value-added
    operating companies that have strong prospects for sustained growth.
    Security Capital plans to utilize the results of its research to identify
    opportunities in which it can invest its capital in the start-up of
    highly focused, private operating companies with the objective of
    becoming publicly traded and having the prospect of dominating their
    respective niches. In addition, Security Capital will continue to make
    investments in public companies in which it can provide strategic and
    operating guidance and capital and thereby enable the companies to pursue
    an attractive growth strategy.
 
  .Creating a global real estate securities management business.
 
Since its commencement of operations in 1991, Security Capital has continually
committed research and development capital to generate new start-up, fully
integrated real estate operating companies and new business services. Based on
such research and development activities, Security Capital has established a
range of real estate research, service and management businesses and made a
series of investments in Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"), Security
Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
("ATLANTIC"), Security Capital U.S. Realty ("Security Capital USREALTY") and
Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead"), each of which is now publicly
traded. Through March 31, 1997, Security Capital has invested an aggregate of
approximately $2.0 billion in the common shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC, Security
Capital USREALTY and Homestead and warrants of Homestead. Those securities had
an aggregate market value of approximately $2.9 billion (based on the closing
price of those securities on the principal exchange on which such securities
are listed on March 31, 1997). As of April 25, 1997, Security Capital owned
approximately 36% of PTR, 44% of SCI, 51% of ATLANTIC, 37% of Security Capital
USREALTY and 62% of Homestead and, pursuant to a series of investor agreements,
advisory agreements, board representation or other control rights, has
significant influence over the operations of each of these entities. As of
March 31, 1997, these five publicly traded real estate companies had a
collective equity market capitalization (assuming full conversion or exercise
of convertible securities, options and warrants) of approximately $7.8 billion.
Security Capital USREALTY has made strategic investments in three publicly
traded companies, CarrAmerica Realty Corporation ("CarrAmerica"), Storage USA,
Inc. ("Storage USA") and Regency Realty Corporation ("REGENCY"), and one
private company, Pacific Retail Trust ("PACIFIC RETAIL"), which had a
collective equity market capitalization of approximately $3.8 billion as of
March 31, 1997 (assuming contractual equity commitments by investors have been
funded, and full conversion or exercise of convertible securities, options and
warrants). For further information on the Company's relationship to these
publicly traded companies, see "Business--Operating Strategy," "--Operating
Companies Market Price Information and Financial Performance" and
"Relationships with Operating Companies."
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
 
Security Capital has several new business initiatives which are in varying
stages of research and development. Security Capital USREALTY also has several
new business initiatives expected to be operational by the end of 1997. See
"Business--Future Strategy." Security Capital believes that an important
component of its future growth will come from new business initiatives and the
implementation of new business strategies, although there can be no assurance
that current new business initiatives will be continued or prove successful.
 
Security Capital's and its affiliates' principal business activities are
carried out in offices located in Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, Denver, El Paso,
London, Luxembourg, New York and Santa Fe.
 
                        THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTIONS
 
Security Capital, through its affiliates, currently provides real estate
investment trust ("REIT") management and property management services to each
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. In December 1996, management of Security Capital
proposed to its Board that Security Capital exchange its REIT management
companies and property management companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR
and SCI, respectively. In January 1997, based upon the direction of the Board,
Security Capital proposed to the Board of Directors of ATLANTIC, and the Board
of Trustees of each of PTR and SCI, that each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI become
internally managed. On March 24, 1997, Security Capital and each of ATLANTIC,
PTR and SCI entered into Merger and Issuance Agreements (collectively, the
"Merger Agreements"), pursuant to which Security Capital will cause its
affiliates providing REIT management and property management services to each
of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to be merged into newly formed subsidiaries of such
respective entities (the "Mergers") with the result that all personnel employed
in the REIT management and property management businesses would become officers
and employees of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively. In exchange for the
transfer of those businesses, Security Capital will receive $54,608,549 of
ATLANTIC's shares of common stock, $75,838,457 of PTR's common shares of
beneficial interest and $81,870,626 of SCI's common shares of beneficial
interest. The number of shares of each entity issuable to Security Capital will
depend on the value of such shares on the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to vote at the meetings of shareholders to be held to
consider the respective Mergers, subject to a maximum and minimum number of
shares being issued by each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI. Each Merger is subject to
approval of the shareholders of each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively,
and to various customary closing conditions.
 
In order to allow the common shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI,
respectively, to maintain their relative percentage ownership interests in each
of their companies, concurrently with proxy solicitations seeking approval of
the Mergers, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI will conduct a rights offering
entitling its common shareholders (other than Security Capital) to purchase
additional common shares. The rights offering price for each company is
expected to be the same basis at which common shares will be issued to Security
Capital pursuant to the respective Merger Agreements. In addition, as part of
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements, and to permit the
shareholders of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI to benefit from the Mergers on the same
terms as Security Capital equity holders, Security Capital will issue warrants
to purchase an aggregate of $250 million of Class B Shares ("Warrants") to the
common equity holders (and holders of certain securities convertible into
common shares) of each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI (other than Security Capital)
after the closing of the Mergers (the "Warrant Issuance"). The exercise price
of the Warrants will be based on the market price of the Class B Shares on a
date to be established following completion of the Offering, and the Warrants
will have a term of one year.
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in the Class B Shares involves certain risks including the
following: (i) recent underlying favorable conditions in the real estate
industry may not continue and Security Capital may not continue to grow at
rates similar to those which it has achieved in the past; (ii) there can be no
assurance that Security Capital will be successful in creating new businesses;
(iii) Security Capital is dependent on dividends, capital gains and management
and service fees from its operating companies to meet its operating needs and
to pay principal and interest on debt; (iv) Security Capital is subject to
general real estate investment risks; (v) there are limitations on the
shareholders' ability to change control of Security Capital; (vi) there has
been no prior market for the Class B Shares; and (vii) investors in the
Offering will experience immediate dilution of net tangible book value of the
Class B Shares. See "Risk Factors."

(1) Prior to 1995, Security Capital consolidated the accounts of SCI and
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"). During 1995, Security
Capital's ownership of SCI decreased to less than 50% and PACIFIC was merged
into PTR. Accordingly, these entities were deconsolidated effective January 1,
1995.
(2) Security Capital resulted from the merger of two affiliated, but not
commonly controlled, entities on January 1, 1995 (the "1995 Merger"). See Note
1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this
Prospectus for more information concerning the 1995 Merger and the predecessor
entity.
(3) During 1994, Security Capital made a $757.50 per share distribution of the
2014 Convertible Debentures resulting in a total increase of $417.2 million in
outstanding 2014 Convertible Debentures.
(4) Security Capital does not guarantee the debt of any of its consolidated or
unconsolidated operating companies.
(5) On April 17, 1997, shareholders approved an amended and restated charter
which created Class A Shares and Class B Shares. All outstanding common shares
as of April 18, 1997 automatically became Class A Shares and all securities
convertible into or exchangeable for common shares became convertible into or
exchangeable for Class A Shares.
(6) For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, Security Capital
elected to be taxed as a REIT and made cash distributions to its shareholders.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
Prospective purchasers of the Class B Shares offered hereby should consider
carefully the information set forth below, as well as the other information set
forth in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains, in addition to historical
information, forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Those statements appear in a number of places in this Prospectus and include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company,
its Board or its officers with respect to (i) future revenues, (ii) future
performance of the Company's businesses and (iii) future business initiatives
of the Company. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
PAST GROWTH RATE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS
 
Security Capital was started in 1991 and its early stages of development
occurred when it was an optimal time to purchase real estate. Over the five-
year period ended December 31, 1996, Security Capital's book value per share
(after payment of convertible debt interest and preferred stock dividends)
increased at a compounded average growth rate of 10.99% per year. There can be
no assurance that underlying favorable conditions in the real estate industry
will continue or that, in the future, the stock price of the Class A Shares or
Class B Shares will increase, or the book value per share will continue to
grow, at rates similar to those which Security Capital has achieved in the
past.
 
CREATION OF NEW BUSINESSES
 
Since its inception, Security Capital has continually devoted substantial
resources to the creation of new businesses. Security Capital currently has
several new business initiatives which are in varying stages of research and
development and Security Capital USREALTY also has several new business
initiatives that are expected to be operational by the end of 1997. These new
business initiatives, to the extent they are developed into new businesses,
will be subject to all risks generally associated with new business activities.
In addition, there can be no assurance that these new business initiatives will
be completed, or if completed, prove to be successful or viable. See
"Business--Future Strategy."
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
Security Capital's success depends upon attracting and retaining the services
of executive officers, including C. Ronald Blankenship, William D. Sanders and
Thomas G. Wattles, who are members of the Operating Committee, as well as
several key senior officers, consisting of the Managing Directors of its
operating companies and service businesses, including Jeffrey A. Cozad, W.
Joseph Houlihan, Anthony R. Manno, Jr., Caroline S. McBride, Daniel F. Miranda,
Mary Lou Rogers and Paul E. Szurek. Security Capital has experienced
individuals who manage its operating companies, including R. Scot Sellers and
Patrick R. Whelan, Managing Directors of PTR, K. Dane Brooksher and Irving F.
Lyons, III, Co-Chairmen of SCI, Constance B. Moore and James C. Potts, Co-
Chairmen of ATLANTIC, and Michael D. Cryan and David C. Dressler Jr., Co-
Chairmen of Homestead. Security Capital's success will depend, among other
things, on its ability to retain each of the foregoing individuals. Security
Capital's success also depends upon the ability of Security Capital's operating
companies and any new entities it creates to continue to recruit experienced
management. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel in the
real estate industry. Security Capital believes it has an effective succession
plan in place and that several of its officers could serve as Security
Capital's senior executive officers and continue Security Capital's
performance. Senior executives have significant beneficial ownership in
Security Capital which, combined with Security Capital's incentive compensation
programs, enhances Security Capital's ability to retain these persons. The loss
of any of these key personnel could have an adverse effect on Security Capital.
 
RELIANCE ON DIVIDENDS AND TRANSFERS FROM OPERATING COMPANIES
 
Security Capital conducts all of its operations through its operating companies
and service businesses. As such, Security Capital is dependent on dividends and
fees from such entities to meet its operating expense needs and to pay
principal and interest on debt, including borrowings under the revolving line
of credit of SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Security Capital which holds the Company's shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC,
Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead and warrants to purchase shares of
Homestead. This revolving line of credit is secured by such securities and is
guaranteed by Security Capital. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Investing and Financing
Activities--Line of Credit." Although many of the Company's operating companies
are REITs, others are not and the Company's ability to obtain dividends, fees
or other funds from such operating companies depends on the economic
performance of such operating companies, the prior claims of creditors or
holders of preferred
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
stock of such operating companies and the Company's ability to control or cause
such operating companies to make distributions or such other payments.
 
LACK OF DIVIDENDS
 
Security Capital is not a REIT and is not required to make distributions to its
common shareholders. Security Capital does not intend to pay dividends on Class
A Shares or Class B Shares in the foreseeable future.
 
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE
 
Security Capital has a substantial amount of leverage and will continue to have
a substantial amount of leverage after the Offering. As of December 31, 1996,
Security Capital had approximately $1.2 billion of consolidated outstanding
long-term indebtedness (of which $257 million represented indebtedness of
Security Capital's consolidated operating companies) and $262 million of
consolidated outstanding short-term indebtedness (of which $228 million
represented indebtedness of Security Capital's consolidated operating
companies). Of such long-term indebtedness, approximately $982 million
consisted of Convertible Debentures (including $42 million of accrued interest
on the Convertible Debentures), which are convertible at the option of the
holders into Class A Shares one year after the Offering or upon redemption of
the Convertible Debentures. The current conversion prices for the Convertible
Debentures are below the Company's estimate of its net asset value per Class A
Share, which is the price at which Class A Shares have been sold in the past.
If the Convertible Debentures were converted, the outstanding long-term
indebtedness would be reduced to approximately $257 million (all of which would
be indebtedness of Security Capital's consolidated operating companies).
Security Capital does not guarantee the debt of any of its consolidated or
unconsolidated operating companies. In addition, Security Capital's operating
companies have a substantial amount of indebtedness and, in certain cases, have
issued preferred stock to third parties.
 
In 1993, Security Capital, through SC Realty, entered into an $85 million
revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisers, Incorporated ("Wells
Fargo"), as agent for a syndicate of banks. Subsequently, this line of credit
was amended and the size of the facility was increased to $250 million and $300
million in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The facility, which is provided by a
group of 11 banks, is effective through November 15, 1998 and had an
outstanding balance of $22 million as of April 25, 1997. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Investing and Financing Activities--Line of Credit."
 
Based on Security Capital's current level of operations and anticipated growth
as a result of pending new business initiatives, Security Capital expects that
cash flows from operations (including dividends and fees received from its
operating companies), the proceeds of the Offering and funds currently
available under its $300 million revolving line of credit will be sufficient to
enable Security Capital to satisfy its anticipated requirements for operating
and investing activities for the next twelve months. Security Capital intends
to finance its long-term business activities (including investments in new
business initiatives) through the proceeds of the Offering, borrowings under an
expanded line of credit and the exercise of the Warrants to be issued as
described herein. In addition, the Company anticipates that its operating
companies will separately finance their activities through cash flow from
operations, sales of equity and debt securities and the incurrence of mortgage
debt or line of credit borrowings. The degree to which Security Capital is
leveraged and to which it is able to meet its financial obligations could
affect its ability to obtain additional financing in the future for refinancing
indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments
in new businesses, general corporate purposes or other purposes.
 
LIMITATIONS ON ACQUISITION OF SHARES AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
Ownership Limit
Security Capital's 9.8% ownership limit, as well as the ability of Security
Capital to issue additional Class A Shares, Class B Shares or other classes or
series of stock (which may have rights and preferences senior to the Class B
Shares), may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of
Security Capital without the consent of the Board even if a change in control
were in the shareholders' interests and may also (i) deter tender offers for
Class A Shares or Class B Shares, which offers may be advantageous to
shareholders and (ii) limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a
premium for their Class A Shares or Class B Shares that might otherwise exist
if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of Class A Shares or Class B
Shares in excess of 9.8% or otherwise effect a change in control of Security
Capital. See "Description of Capital Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of
Shares."
 
Shareholder Purchase Rights
On April 21, 1997, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each Share outstanding. Each Purchase
Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Security Capital, in the event the underlying share is a Class A Share, one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of
$6,000 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. In the event the underlying share is a Class B Share, the Purchase
Right entitles the registered holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase
from Security Capital one five-thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share of
Security Capital at a price of $120 per one five-thousandth of a Participating
Preferred Share. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or group of
persons (other than Security Capital USREALTY and other affiliates of Security
Capital) acquires 20% or more of the voting power of the voting equity
securities of Security Capital or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of
the voting power of the voting equity securities of Security Capital. Under
certain circumstances, each Purchase Right entitles the holder to purchase, at
the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of Class A Shares or
Class B Shares, as the case may be, having a market value of twice the Purchase
Right's exercise price. The acquisition of Security Capital pursuant to certain
mergers or other business transactions would entitle each holder to purchase,
at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time equal to twice the
Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights held by the triggering 20%
shareholders (other than Security Capital USREALTY or other affiliates of
Security Capital) would not be exercisable.
 
The Purchase Rights may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of Security Capital without the consent of the Board even if a change
in control were in the shareholders' interests and may also adversely affect
the voting and other rights of shareholders. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Purchase Rights."
 
Classified Board; Preferred Stock; Advance Notice Provisions
The Board has been divided into three classes of directors. The terms of the
classes will expire in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. As the term of a
class expires, directors for that class will be elected for a three-year term
and the directors in the other two classes will continue in office. See
"Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Security Capital's Charter and
Bylaws--Classification of the Board."
 
Security Capital's amended and restated articles of incorporation (the
"Charter") authorizes the Board to reclassify any unissued shares of Security
Capital's stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption. See
"Description of Capital Stock--General" and "--Preferred Stock."
 
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, Security Capital's amended and
restated bylaws (the "Bylaws") require such shareholder to deliver a notice to
the Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more
than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual
meeting setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to
nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to
such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
the election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); (ii) as to any other business
that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description
of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such
business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the notice
and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is
made, (x) the name and address of such shareholder as it appears on Security
Capital's books and of such beneficial owner and (y) the number of Shares which
are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial
owner, if any.
 
The classified Board, the issuance of preferred stock and the advance notice
provisions discussed in the preceding paragraphs each could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of Security Capital even if a change
in control were in the shareholders' interests.
 
POSSIBLE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCE OF LIMITS ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
 
As noted above under "--Limitations on Acquisition of Shares and Change in
Control," the Charter restricts ownership of more than 9.8% of the number or
value of the outstanding Class A Shares or Class B Shares by any single
shareholder except Security Capital USREALTY. The Board, in its sole
discretion, may waive this restriction. Shares acquired in breach of the
limitation may be redeemed by Security Capital at the average daily
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
closing sales price per Class A Share or Class B Share, as applicable, during
the 30-day period ending on the business day prior to the redemption date. A
transfer of such Shares to a person who, as a result of the transfer, violates
the ownership limit may be void under some circumstances. See "Description of
Capital Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of Shares" for additional
information regarding the ownership limit.
 
CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT
 
Security Capital is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act"), in reliance on an exemption set forth
in the rules promulgated thereunder. Security Capital is not required to
register as an investment company because it is principally engaged in the real
estate business through companies that it primarily controls. As of April 25,
1997, Security Capital owned approximately 36% of PTR, 44% of SCI, 51% of
ATLANTIC, 37% of Security Capital USREALTY and 62% of Homestead which, together
with certain investor agreements, advisory agreements, board representation or
other control rights, allows Security Capital to exert significant influence
over the operations of each of these entities. Security Capital currently
intends to exert similar influence over any other operating company through
which it makes future investments. However, to the extent Security Capital does
not elect to participate in future equity offerings by its operating companies,
its ownership interest in and control over such companies could diminish, and
the Company could potentially be required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Security Capital would be materially
adversely affected if it were required to register as an investment company
under the Investment Company Act.
 
CERTAIN TAX RISKS RELATING TO STATUS OF SECURITY CAPITAL USREALTY
 
Security Capital USREALTY was organized in 1995 principally to own significant
strategic positions in leading value-added real estate operating companies
based in the United States. The Company has been advised by Security Capital
USREALTY that Security Capital USREALTY is not currently, and intends to
operate so as not to become, a Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") or
be subject to the accumulated earnings tax for United States income tax
purposes. Characterization of Security Capital USREALTY as a PFIC could
potentially subject the Company to income tax on its pro rata share of the
undistributed income of Security Capital USREALTY. In addition, application of
the accumulated earnings tax to Security Capital USREALTY could potentially
subject Security Capital USREALTY to a 39.6% tax rate on its "accumulated
taxable income" for United States income tax purposes.
 
GENERAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
Although Security Capital owns no real estate, its operating companies, and
companies in which its affiliates may invest, own real estate. Real property
investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real estate cash flows and
values are affected by a number of factors, including changes in the general
economic climate, local conditions (such as an oversupply of properties or a
reduction in rental demand in an area), the quality and philosophy of
management, competition from other available properties and the ability of the
owner to provide adequate maintenance and insurance and to control operating
costs. Real estate cash flows and values are also affected by such factors as
government regulations, including zoning and tax laws, interest rate levels,
the availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in,
environmental and other laws. Since a significant portion of Security Capital's
operating companies' income is derived from rental income from real property,
their respective income and distributable cash flow would be adversely affected
if a significant number of tenants were unable to meet their obligations, or if
such operating companies were unable to lease properties on economically
favorable terms.
 
Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may tend
to limit the ability of Security Capital's operating companies to react
promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, certain
significant expenditures associated with equity investments (such as mortgage
payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced
when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments.
 
In addition, the market price of the Class B Shares may be affected by the
market prices of shares of Security Capital's real estate operating companies,
which in turn may be affected by risks generally associated with investments in
real estate, including risks associated with acquisition and disposition of
real estate assets, development or redevelopment of properties and, in certain
cases, risks generally associated with investments in REITs.
 
                                       10
<PAGE>
 
COMPETITION
 
There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate, including those that operate in the regions in which
Security Capital's operating companies' properties are located, that compete
with Security Capital's operating companies in seeking land for development,
properties for acquisition and disposition and tenants for properties. All of
the operating companies' properties are located in developed areas that include
other similar properties. The number of competitive properties in a particular
area could have a material adverse effect on the operating companies' ability
to lease units and on the rents charged. In addition, other forms of properties
provide alternatives to tenants of the operating companies' properties (for
example, single family residential housing may be an alternative to multifamily
housing).
 
The global real estate securities management business of Security Capital will
compete for capital and investment opportunities with a large number of
investment management firms as well as certain insurance companies, commercial
banks and other financial institutions, some of which may have greater access
to capital and other resources and which may offer a wider range of services
than Security Capital. Real estate investment management firms can be formed
with relatively small amounts of capital and depend most significantly on the
continued involvement of their professional staff. The Company believes that
competition among real estate investment management firms is affected
principally by investment performance, development and implementation of
investment strategies, information technologies and databases and client
service performance.
 
NO PRIOR MARKET FOR CLASS B SHARES
 
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Class B Shares.
Although application will be made to list the Class B Shares on the NYSE, there
can be no assurance the Class B Shares will be so listed or that an active
trading market will develop. From time to time, the stock market experiences
significant price and volume volatility, which may affect the market price of
the Class B Shares for reasons unrelated to Security Capital's performance. In
addition, the initial public offering price may not accurately reflect the
market price of the Class B Shares.
 
EFFECT ON CLASS B SHARE PRICE OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
Sales of a substantial number of Class B Shares, or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for Class
B Shares. Upon completion of the Offering, Security Capital will have Class B
Shares outstanding. All such shares may be sold by non-affiliates in the public
markets without limitation. In addition, upon completion of the Offering,
Security Capital expects to have 1,301,010 Class A Shares outstanding, which
will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a total of 65,050,500 Class
B Shares, and 139,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding,
convertible into a maximum of 105,896 Class A Shares. As of March 31, 1997,
Security Capital also had outstanding (i) approximately $714 million principal
amount of its 2014 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of
682,293 Class A Shares, (ii) approximately $323 million principal amount of its
2016 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of 279,949 Class A
Shares, (iii) warrants to purchase 40,241 Class A Shares and approximately $30
million principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into
29,142 Class A Shares) and (iv) options to purchase 138,521 Class A Shares and
approximately $56 million principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures
(convertible into 53,168 Class A Shares) under Security Capital's employee
benefit plans. All such Class A Shares, and the Class B Shares into which they
may be converted, may be sold in the public markets in the future pursuant to
registration rights or available exemptions from registration. In addition,
after consummation of the Mergers, Security Capital is expected to issue
Warrants to purchase a total of $250 million of Class B Shares (the number of
which shares will be based on the price of the Class B Shares on a date to be
established following completion of the Offering), which underlying Class B
Shares may be sold by non-affiliates in the public markets without limitation.
See "Shares Available for Future Sale." No prediction can be made regarding the
effect of future sales of Class B Shares or Class A Shares, or the conversion
of Class A Shares into Class B Shares, on the market price of Class B Shares.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL
 
Security Capital, through certain of its operating companies, is subject to
environmental and health and safety laws and regulations related to the
ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real estate. Under such
laws and regulations, Security Capital may be liable for, among other things,
the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances, including
asbestos-related liability. Such laws and regulations often impose liability
without regard to fault.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
As part of its due diligence procedures, Security Capital's operating companies
have conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each of their respective
properties prior to their acquisition; however, there can be no assurance that
such assessments have revealed all potential environmental liabilities.
Security Capital is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its
operating companies' properties which is likely to have a material adverse
effect on Security Capital's financial position or results of operations;
however, there can be no assurance that any such condition does not exist or
may not arise in the future.
 
DILUTION
 
The pro forma net tangible book value per Class B Share of Security Capital's
assets after the Offering will be lower than the initial public offering price
per Class B Share in the Offering. Accordingly, persons acquiring Class B
Shares in the Offering will experience immediate dilution of $     per Class B
Share (or $     per Class B Share assuming conversion of the outstanding
Convertible Debentures) in the net tangible book value of Class B Shares
acquired in the Offering. See "Dilution."

<PAGE>
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The net proceeds to Security Capital from the sale of the Class B Shares
offered hereby, after payment of all expenses of the Offering, are expected to
be approximately $      million. The net proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include the allocation of capital to new
businesses and the partial repayment of outstanding indebtedness. If the
Underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase Class B Shares is exercised in
full, the additional net proceeds of approximately $      million will be used
for the same purposes. At April 25, 1997, SC Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Security Capital, had $22 million in outstanding borrowings under its $300
million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo and outstanding borrowings
under such line of credit are expected to be approximately $  million at the
time of the closing of the Offering. Borrowings under the line of credit bear
interest, at SC Realty's option, at either (i) LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50% or
(ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus a margin of .50% or Wells
Fargo's prime rate, with interest payable monthly in arrears. The line of
credit is guaranteed by Security Capital and is secured by its shares in PTR,
SCI, ATLANTIC, Security Capital USREALTY and Homestead, as well as its warrants
to acquire shares of Homestead. At March 31, 1997, the aggregate market value
of the securities pledged pursuant to the line of credit was approximately $2.9
billion. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Investing and Financing Activities--Line of Credit."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
Security Capital is not a REIT and is not required to make distributions to its
common shareholders. The declaration and payment of dividends by Security
Capital is subject to the discretion of the Board. Any determination as to the
payment of dividends will depend upon the results of operations, capital
requirements and financial condition of Security Capital and such other factors
as the Board deems relevant. The Company believes that there currently are
substantial investment opportunities available to Security Capital and, as a
result, the Board intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings to finance
Security Capital's growth and for general corporate purposes. Therefore,
Security Capital does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Class A
Shares or the Class B Shares in the foreseeable future.

                                    DILUTION
 
At December 31, 1996, Security Capital had a net tangible book value of $779.7
million, or $12.90 per Class B Share based on 60,450,450 outstanding Class B
Shares (assuming conversion of all Class A Shares outstanding on such date into
Class B Shares). Net tangible book value per Class B Share is defined as the
book value of the Company's tangible assets, less all liabilities, divided by
the number of Class B Shares outstanding.
 
After giving effect to the sale by Security Capital of         Class B Shares
in the Offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $          per
share (after deducting the underwriting discount and the estimated expenses
associated with the Offering payable by the Company), Security Capital's pro
forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 1996 would have been $
million or $     per Class B Share (assuming conversion of all Class A Shares
outstanding on such date into Class B Shares), representing an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $     per Class B Share to the existing
shareholders, and an immediate dilution to new investors of $     per Class B
Share.
 
The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

(1) All existing shareholders have either purchased the Class A Shares as a
unit including Convertible Debentures or received a $757.50 per share
distribution of the 2014 Convertible Debentures during 1994. On a fully
converted basis, existing shareholders have paid an average price of $17.66 per
share.
 
The foregoing dilution information assumes no conversion of outstanding Series
A Preferred Stock, 2014 Convertible Debentures or 2016 Convertible Debentures
and no exercise of warrants and options, all of which are convertible into, or
exercisable for, Class A Shares or 2014 Convertible Debentures. If all such
convertible securities were converted into, or exercised for, Class A Shares,
an additional 1,248,473 Class A Shares (convertible into 62,423,650 Class B
Shares) would have been outstanding as of December 31, 1996 and the Company
would have reduced its liabilities by $982.6 million and increased its
shareholders' equity by $1,188.1 million as of such date. As a consequence,
based on a pro forma net tangible book value of $      per Class B Share after
the Offering and an assumed initial public offering price of $          per
Class B Share, dilution to investors would have been $     per Class B Share if
all such convertible securities were issued and converted into, or exercised
for, Class B Shares.
 
Based on the assumptions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the
comparison of consideration paid by existing shareholders to new investors
would be as follows as of December 31, 1996:

OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY
 
Security Capital is a real estate research, investment and management company.
Management has assembled a superior team of operating and investment
professionals to implement the firm's strategy. Prior to the Offering, Security
Capital was owned primarily by directors, officers, employees and 65 major
domestic and foreign institutional investors.
 
Security Capital's strategy is to create the optimal organization to lead and
profit from global real estate securitization. Security Capital will implement
this strategy by:
 
  . Providing leadership in real estate research conducted on a global basis.
    Security Capital's proprietary research, which is available to Security
    Capital's affiliates, provides a strong foundation for its capital
    deployment strategy.
 
  . Continuing to invest its capital in fully integrated, value-added
    operating companies that have strong prospects for sustained growth.
    Security Capital plans to utilize the results of its research to identify
    opportunities in which it can invest its capital in the start-up of
    highly focused, private operating companies with the objective of
    becoming publicly traded and having the prospect of dominating their
    respective niches. In addition, Security Capital will continue to make
    investments in public companies in which it can provide strategic and
    operating guidance and capital and thereby enable the companies to pursue
    an attractive growth strategy.
 
  . Creating a global real estate securities management business.
 
The global real estate industry is in the early stages of a dramatic transition
from ownership in "passive hands" to becoming a securitized industry with a
more rational approach to capital allocation and operating management. As
public real estate investment enterprises become more prevalent, a greater
percentage of the industry's new capital is moving to publicly traded, fully
integrated, value-added operating companies. Securitized holdings offer
significant benefits to institutional and retail investors, including enhanced
liquidity, real-time pricing and the opportunity for optimal growth and
sustainable competitive rates of return.
 
Security Capital will deploy its capital (both its corporate and third-party
managed capital) in enterprises that emulate the operating characteristics of
the leading value-added operating companies in other highly competitive global
industries. As the shift toward securitization of real estate ownership leads
to a more rational system for deploying capital, the Company believes leading
real estate companies will commit significant dollars to research and
development to create value-added operating systems for application in
carefully selected, focused target markets. The Company believes leading real
estate companies will devote significant capital and energy to management
development programs, creating a strong corporate culture with succession plans
in place. The Company also believes leading real estate companies will consider
capital as a precious resource to be deployed utilizing evaluation processes
based on Economic Value-Added (EVA) or similar strategies. The shift toward
securitization creates unprecedented opportunities for Security Capital and its
operating companies. By building talented management teams, creating fully
integrated operating systems and implementing highly focused strategies, the
Company believes leading real estate companies can achieve sustainable
annualized rates of return which are very competitive with other growth
industries.
 
Through March 31, 1997, Security Capital has invested an aggregate of
approximately $2.0 billion in the common shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC, Security
Capital USREALTY and Homestead and in the warrants of Homestead. Those
securities had an aggregate market value of approximately $2.9 billion (based
on the closing price of those securities on the principal exchange on which the
securities are listed on March 31, 1997).
 
Security Capital is a Maryland corporation. Security Capital's and its
affiliates' principal business activities are carried out in offices located in
Atlanta, Brussels, Chicago, Denver, El Paso, London, Luxembourg, New York and
Santa Fe.

Security Capital Real Estate Research Group (RERG)
RERG produces real estate research for both the Investment Research Group and
Strategic Group. Research plays a key role in the process of deploying capital
through the long- and short-term evaluation of supply and demand for each real
estate property type in targeted geographic markets. The evaluations are based
on economic, demographic and market factors as well as proprietary demand and
supply models.
 
RERG conducts an economic base analysis for every major metropolitan market in
the United States. Economic base analysis identifies the key industry sectors
which drive a market's economy by exporting goods or services outside the area.
By examining the stability and growth potential of these industries, as well as
the diversity of their mix, RERG assesses the risks and long-term growth
prospects for that particular market. The demand models created by RERG for
each property type incorporate demographic factors such as population,
household income, age, education, employment and housing characteristics for an
area as small as one-sixteenth of a square mile in certain markets. The
economic and demographic analyses are translated into an overall evaluation of
the demand prospects for each property type in each market.
 
On a short-term basis, RERG monitors real estate market conditions such as
occupancy and rent growth to forecast the near-term (one to two years)
demand/supply balance of each property type in the market.

Security Capital Investment Research Group (IRG)
IRG manages or advises capital invested in focused funds that seek to maximize
total return over an intermediate time horizon of up to 42 months. IRG's
principal focus is on publicly traded real estate companies that it believes
should outperform the market due to factors such as an emerging new strategy or
opportunity, imminent changes in supply and demand that would affect asset
performance, market inefficiencies that result in mispriced securities or
consolidation opportunities. IRG, through its focused funds, will also commit
capital to private start-up companies that have significant prospects for
sustained growth, that can utilize both strategic and operating consulting and
capital, and that have the prospect of becoming public companies. IRG will
generally take ownership positions ranging from .5% to 4.99% of the equity
securities of its investees, except with respect to Security Capital Preferred
Growth Incorporated ("SC-PG"), in which case IRG may take larger ownership
positions.
 
IRG currently provides investment research and advice to Security Capital (EU)
Management S.A., the advisor to Security Capital USREALTY, in connection with
certain investments in publicly traded companies. In addition, IRG currently
manages Security Capital Employee REIT Fund ("SC-ERF") and SC-PG.
 
 . Security Capital U.S. Realty: Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio.
Security Capital USREALTY identifies publicly traded companies with solid
growth prospects and invests, through a wholly owned subsidiary, to realize
attractive total returns through dividends and share price appreciation. As of
March 31, 1997, the Security Capital USREALTY Special Opportunity Investments
Portfolio had a fair market value of $264 million. For the period from December
31, 1995 to March 31, 1997, the Security Capital USREALTY Special Opportunity
Investment Portfolio achieved a compound annual return of approximately 57.9%,
as measured in the manner required by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") for U.S. mutual funds, after the deduction of fees and
expenses. Compound annual return has been calculated based on the following
principal assumptions: (i) investments were made on the dates Security Capital
USREALTY Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio made its investments, (ii)
dividends or other distributions, if any, were immediately reinvested and (iii)
the per share value of the investments on March 31, 1997 is represented by the
closing sales price of the shares on such date on the principal stock exchange
on which such shares are listed. There can be no assurance that a comparable
rate of return may be obtained in the future.
 
 . Security Capital Employee REIT Fund (SC-ERF). As a matter of policy, Security
Capital employees are not permitted to invest in non-Security Capital related
real estate securities. Security Capital has committed to invest up to $100
million into a fund known as SC-ERF that will invest in real estate securities.
SC-ERF, which registered with the Commission in January 1997, provides a
vehicle through which employees, directors and trustees of Security Capital and
its affiliates, their families and approved 401(k) plans of Security Capital
and its affiliates can invest in real estate securities. SC-ERF's long-term
objective is to achieve top-quartile returns as compared with other mutual
funds that invest in securities of publicly traded real estate companies in the
United States.
 
 . Security Capital Preferred Growth Incorporated (SC-PG). SC-PG is a private
real estate company formed in January 1997. SC-PG's objective is to make
intermediate-term investments in undervalued, high-potential real estate
operating companies primarily through convertible securities. These companies
would typically be in the second through fourth quartile of performance among
real estate operating companies. SC-PG seeks to provide these companies with an
opportunity for repositioning and growth by furnishing them with operating
guidance and access to capital. The management of SC-PG believes that these
types of investments will offer SC-PG an attractive dividend return and the
opportunity to participate in the value creation that may occur as the
companies in which it invests experience growth in cash flows and increases in
share prices. Security Capital has initially committed to purchase $50 million
of common stock of SC-PG.

Security Capital Strategic Group (SG)
SG provides overall business strategy and investment oversight (either directly

investments in private companies that have highly focused business strategies
that management believes have prospects for sustained growth and may become
publicly traded. Security Capital expects to benefit as these companies
experience growth in cash flows and increases in share prices consistent with
similar direct investments that Security Capital has made since 1991 in PTR,
SCI, ATLANTIC, Homestead and Security Capital USREALTY and indirect investments
made by Security Capital USREALTY. No assurance can be given that Security
Capital will achieve similar results on future strategic investments.

(1) Ownership and market capitalization are as of March 31, 1997, and assume
contractual equity commitments by investors have been funded, convertible
instruments have been converted into common shares, and options and warrants
for common shares have been exercised. The resulting number of common shares is
multiplied by the closing price of the common shares on such date for those
companies listed on an exchange or, in the case of PACIFIC RETAIL, the last
private equity offering price. See "--Operating Companies Market Price
Information and Financial Performance."
(2) As of April 25, 1997, Security Capital's percentage ownerships in its
investees, based on common shares outstanding on such date, were 36% of PTR,
51% of ATLANTIC, 62% of Homestead, 44% of SCI and 37% of Security Capital
USREALTY.
(3) Ownership of Homestead assumes that all convertible mortgages have been
funded and converted into shares of Homestead common stock and that all
warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common stock have been exercised.
Ownership of Homestead does not include any ownership Security Capital may
obtain in Homestead upon conversion of convertible mortgages owned by PTR and
ATLANTIC through funding commitment agreements. See "Relationships with
Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction."
(4) The European management and Board of Directors of Security Capital USREALTY

For purposes of the following discussion, references to "compound annual
returns" for PTR, ATLANTIC, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY have been
calculated based on the following principal assumptions: (i) the beginning date
of the measurement period is the date on which Security Capital made its first
investment, (ii) the calculation includes only Security Capital's initial
investment, (iii) dividends received, if any, were immediately reinvested in
common shares and (iv) the per share value of the investment on March 31, 1997
is represented by the closing sales price of the shares on such date on the
principal stock exchange on which the shares are listed. There can be no
assurance that comparable rates of return may be obtained in the future by
Security Capital or other investors. In addition, references to "equity market
capitalization" for each of the companies listed below assumes contractual
equity commitments by investors have been funded, convertible instruments have
been converted into common shares and options and warrants for common shares
have been exercised. The resulting number of common shares is multiplied by the
closing price on such date of the common shares on the principal exchange on
which the shares are listed.
 
 . Security Capital Pacific Trust (NYSE: PTR). PTR's objective is to be the
preeminent real estate operating company focused on the development,
acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily communities in
the growing markets of the western United States. PTR is focused on generating
long-term, sustainable growth in per share cash flow. PTR expects to achieve
long-term cash flow growth by maximizing the operating performance of its core
assets through value-added asset management and by executing a research-based
investment strategy that allows PTR to redeploy capital from existing assets
with limited growth prospects into targeted developments with optimal prospects
for growth. As of February 28, 1997, PTR's portfolio of multifamily communities
included 42,556 operating units, 5,671 units under construction and an
estimated 6,232 units in planning. In addition, PTR owns land for future
development of an expected 4,492 additional units. PTR has committed to fund
certain mortgage loans for Homestead which are convertible into Homestead
common stock. Upon full funding of those mortgages, PTR will have $221.3
million in principal amount of convertible mortgages which will be convertible
into a total of 19,246,402 shares of Homestead common stock, which would
represent approximately 34% of the fully converted common shares of Homestead.
Since February 1991, when Security Capital took its initial position in PTR,
through March 31, 1997, PTR's equity market capitalization has increased from
$33 million to $2,157 million. From February 1991 through March 31, 1997, the
compound annual return for PTR was 33.6%.
 
 . Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated (NYSE: SCA). ATLANTIC's objective is
to be the preeminent real estate operating company for the development,
acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily communities in
its 12-state southeastern target market. ATLANTIC is focused on generating
long-term, sustainable growth in per share cash flow. ATLANTIC is building its
portfolio by implementing a research-driven investment strategy that includes
opportunistic acquisitions of existing properties and the development of
carefully planned moderate income multifamily communities. As of February 28,
1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio included 19,241 operating multifamily units, 5,095
units under construction and an estimated 3,068 units in planning. ATLANTIC has
committed to fund certain mortgage loans for Homestead which are convertible
into Homestead common stock. Upon full funding of those mortgages, ATLANTIC
will have $98.0 million in principal amount of convertible mortgages which will
be convertible into a total of 8,524,215 shares of Homestead common stock,
which would represent approximately 15% of the fully converted common shares of
Homestead. At March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had an equity market capitalization of
$843 million. Since its inception in December 1993 through March 31, 1997, the
compound annual return for ATLANTIC was 14.7%.
 
 . Homestead Village Incorporated (American Stock Exchange: HSD). Homestead's
objective is to become the preeminent developer, owner and operator of moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging properties throughout the United States.
Homestead was created in 1992 through extensive research and development and
became a public company in October 1996. Homestead seeks to achieve long-term
growth in cash flow by focusing on infill locations in major employment centers
with strong demographics. As of March 31, 1997, Homestead had developed, owned
and operated 34 properties representing in the aggregate 4,297 units and had 41
properties under construction totaling 5,059 units. At March 31, 1997,
Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $949 million. From its spin-
out in October 1996 through March 31, 1997, Homestead had a simple unannualized
return of 17.9%. The simple unannualized return has been calculated based on
the following principal assumptions: (i) the investment was made on October 17,
1996 (and recorded at the cost of the assets contributed by PTR, ATLANTIC and
Security Capital), and (ii) the per share value of the investment on March 31,
1997 is represented by the closing sales price on such date of the shares on
the American Stock Exchange. There can be no assurance that a comparable rate
of return may be obtained in the future by Security Capital or other investors.

 . Security Capital Industrial Trust (NYSE: SCN). SCI, a highly focused Denver-
based real estate operating company, is the largest publicly held owner and
operator of distribution properties in the United States based on equity market
capitalization. SCI's primary objective is to achieve long-term, sustainable
growth in per share cash flow. SCI expects to achieve this objective through
The SCI National Operating System(R) which is committed to creating shareholder
value by targeting the Fortune 1,000 companies and providing exceptional
customer service at the national, regional and local levels. SCI's investment
strategy is to acquire generic distribution facilities and develop full-
service, master-planned distribution parks in metropolitan areas that
demonstrate strong demographic growth and excellent distribution real estate
fundamentals. SCI recently announced transactions in Mexico and the
acquisition, through an entity controlled by SCI, of the refrigerated
warehousing and distribution operations of Christian Salvesen, Inc. in the
United States and Canada. At February 28, 1997, SCI had distribution properties
operating or under development in 36 target markets, totaling 88.99 million
square feet. At March 31, 1997, SCI had an equity market capitalization of
$2,365 million. Since its inception in December 1992 through March 31, 1997,
the compound annual return for SCI was 25.6%.
 
 . Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated ("SHC"). SHC was recently formed and is
focused on becoming the preeminent owner of upscale hotel properties on a
global basis. SHC was created in March 1997 and, ultimately as a public entity,
will seek to achieve a 15% to 20% compound annual total rate of return over the
long-term. Management of SHC is principally focused on maximizing the value of
its investments by providing active and intensive oversight to its select
operators in targeted growth markets throughout the world. Security Capital and
another major institutional investor have each committed to invest $200 million
of capital on an equal basis in SHC.
 
 . Security Capital U.S. Realty (Amsterdam Stock Exchange: SCUSR). Security
Capital USREALTY's objective is to become Europe's preeminent real estate
operating company owning, through a wholly owned subsidiary, significant
strategic positions in leading value-added real estate operating companies
based in the United States. Through a proactive ownership role, appropriate
board representation and ongoing consultation, Security Capital USREALTY
expects to influence the business strategies of the companies in which it
invests to increase per share cash flow. The European management and Board of
Directors of Security Capital USREALTY receive operating and investment advice
from Security Capital (EU) Management S.A., which subcontracts certain research
and advisory activities from its affiliates IRG and SG. Security Capital has
advised Security Capital USREALTY that it does not intend to make its own
direct strategic investments in equity-oriented REITs in the future, other than

capitalization of $1,593 million. Since its inception in October 1995 through
March 31, 1997, the compound annual return for Security Capital USREALTY was
33.9%.
 
Security Capital USREALTY seeks to have 65% to 85% of its assets deployed in
long-term strategic ownership positions in real estate operating companies
organized as REITs and real estate operating companies which are expected in
due course to become REITs.
 
Security Capital USREALTY also seeks to acquire up to 10% (but generally less
than 5%) of the shares of publicly traded real estate companies and to hold
such positions for an intermediate term of 12 to 18 months (or sooner if the
targeted returns are realized more quickly) with the objective of obtaining
attractive total returns through dividends and share price appreciation.
Security Capital USREALTY seeks to have 10% to 25% of its assets deployed in
such publicly traded positions and, as of March 31, 1997, Security Capital
USREALTY had $264 million (market value) of publicly traded positions in 24
companies. See "--Security Capital Investment Research Group--Security Capital
USREALTY: Special Opportunity Investments Portfolio."

securities of the Company to enhance the diversification of its asset base and
to enable European investors in Security Capital USREALTY to participate in the
full activities of Security Capital. As of March 31, 1997, Security Capital
USREALTY owned 52,431 Class A Shares and $55 million principal amount of 2016

FUTURE STRATEGY
 
Since its inception, Security Capital has committed capital to research and
development in order to identify opportunities where it can invest in the
start-up of new businesses or new investment services with the objective that
they will ultimately become publicly traded companies. Once opportunities are
identified and thoroughly researched, Security Capital commits substantial
additional capital to the development of operating systems and human capital.
By pursuing a strategy of making a significant investment in advance of the
start-up company's initial operations, as well as making ongoing investments in
operating and people systems as the company grows, Security Capital seeks to
ensure that the start-up company can successfully implement an attractive
growth strategy.
 
In 1993, initial research began on an investment strategy which was referred to
as SCG Box X and which was announced in 1995 as Security Capital USREALTY. As
of March 31, 1997, Security Capital USREALTY had an equity market
capitalization of $1,593 million.
 
After four years of research and development, Security Capital announced the
formation of Homestead (previously known as SCG Box X-1) in 1996. As of March
31, 1997, approximately $368 million of value had been created for the
shareholders of PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital as a result of the formation
and spin-off of Homestead as measured by (i) the equity market capitalization
of Homestead securities held by PTR and ATLANTIC (or their respective
shareholders) and Security Capital less (ii) the aggregate cost basis of the
assets contributed by PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital to Homestead in the
spin-off transaction on October 17, 1996, the cost basis of the Homestead
convertible mortgages to be funded by PTR and ATLANTIC and the cost basis of
the Homestead warrants to purchase common shares distributed to Security
Capital and the shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC. As of March 31, 1997,
Homestead had an equity market capitalization of $949 million.
 
During 1995, Security Capital began the implementation of its research on two
new investments: SCG Box X-3 and Strategic Hotel Capital Incorporated
(previously known as SCG Box X-5). In addition, Security Capital USREALTY has
announced that its board has approved investment levels of $150 million in the
niches of high-density urban retail, urban properties and parking, which are
new businesses expected to be operational in 1997.
 
In 1996, Security Capital committed to make an initial $50 million investment
in SC-PG (previously known as SCG Box X-4), committed to make a $100 million
investment in SC-ERF (previously known as SCG Box X-2) and continued its
research and development activities with respect to its additional new
investments. The Company's policy is to announce new business initiatives
following extensive research and development and after the Company has
committed to make investments in excess of $25 million in the new business.
 
An important new component of Security Capital's future growth will come from
new business initiatives which are in varying stages of research and
development. No assurance can be given that these initiatives will be
successful.

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE AND STRATEGY
 
Security Capital's objectives are to maximize its return on investment and its
operating cash flows after tax. As a consequence, Security Capital views its
structure as consisting of two divisions: the Capital Division, which generates
dividends and capital gains, and the Services Division, which generates service
and management fees. In order to achieve its financial objectives, Security
Capital plans to balance its investments between growth-oriented companies that
do not pay a dividend and dividend-paying real estate entities. Security
Capital plans to prudently utilize leverage which will be serviced by the
dividends received from the Capital Division and service and management fees
received from the Services Division. Borrowings will be deployed into the
highest return opportunities in either the Capital Division or Services
Division. Security Capital expects to achieve its financial objectives by
continuing to be one of the leading creators of fully integrated, value-added
public real estate companies and by becoming the leading global investment
research/investment manager in superior public real estate companies not
affiliated with Security Capital.
 
The financial structure and strategy of Security Capital is illustrated in the
following diagram:

On April 25, 1997, the last reported sale price of a common share of (i) SCI
was $20 1/8, (ii) ATLANTIC was $21 1/2, (iii) PTR was $22 3/4, (iv) Homestead
was $16 1/4 and (v) Security Capital USREALTY was $15.20. On April 25, 1997,

of common stock of ATLANTIC, (iii) 27,389,833 common shares of PTR, (iv)
13,144,401 shares of common stock of Homestead and (v) 42,015,299 shares of

transactions which may affect the number of shares of common stock of such
companies owned by the Company, see "Business--The Proposed Mergers" and
"Relationships with Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction."
Security Capital has announced that it may over time reduce its beneficial
ownership in ATLANTIC and Homestead to below 50%.
 
The following table presents the average annual return for all common share
investors in PTR, ATLANTIC, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY for the periods
indicated through March 31, 1997, based on the following principal assumptions:
(i) the beginning date of the measurement period is the date on which Security
Capital made its first investment in the applicable company, (ii) the
calculation includes all common share offerings at the time proceeds were
received by the applicable company since the beginning date of the measurement
period, (iii) dividends received, if any, were immediately reinvested in common
shares and (iv) the per share value of the investment on March 31, 1997 is
represented by the closing sales price of the common shares on such date on the
principal exchange on which the shares are listed. There can be no assurance
that comparable rates of return on investments will be obtained by Security
Capital or other investors in these companies in the future.

EMPLOYEES
 
After giving effect to the Mergers, it is expected that Security Capital will
have approximately 250 employees. Security Capital believes its relations with
its employees to be good.
 
COMPETITION
 
There are numerous developers, operators, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with Security Capital's operating companies
in seeking land for development on which to operate their respective
businesses. All of the properties of Security Capital's operating companies are
located in developed areas that include various competitors. The number of
competitive properties could have a material adverse effect on Security
Capital's operating companies and on the rents charged by them. Security
Capital's operating companies may be competing with others that have greater
resources and whose officers and directors have more experience than the
officers, directors and trustees of the Company's operating companies.
 
The global real estate securities management business of Security Capital will
compete for capital and investment opportunities with a large number of
investment management firms as well as certain insurance companies, commercial
banks and other financial institutions, some of which may have greater access
to capital and other resources and which may offer a wider range of services
than Security Capital. Real estate investment management firms can be formed
with relatively small amounts of capital and depend most significantly on the
continued
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
 
involvement of their professional staff. The Company believes that competition
among real estate investment management firms is affected principally by
investment performance, development and implementation of investment
strategies, information technologies and databases and client service
performance.
 
TRADEMARKS AND SERVICE MARKS
 
The Company uses a number of trademarks, including "Security Capital" and
variants thereof. All trademarks, service marks and copyright registrations
associated with the business of the Company are registered in the name of the
Company and expire over various periods of time. Certain variants of the name
Security Capital will be licensed to ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI upon completion of
the Mergers. See "Relationships with Operating Companies" for a description of
the license agreements. The Company intends to defend vigorously against
infringement of its trademarks, service marks and copyrights.
 
PROPERTIES
 
The principal offices of Security Capital are located at 125 Lincoln Avenue in
Santa Fe, New Mexico and its telephone number is (505) 982-9292. Security
Capital's affiliate also has an administrative office at 7777 Market Center
Avenue in El Paso, Texas. The Santa Fe office is leased from an unaffiliated
third party and the El Paso office is leased from SCI at an annual rental of
$235,438. Security Capital and its affiliates operate out of other offices in
the United States (Atlanta, Chicago, Denver and New York) and Europe (Brussels,
London and Luxembourg). Although SCI, PTR, ATLANTIC and Homestead own an
extensive number of properties, no single property is materially important to
Security Capital and its subsidiaries.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
Security Capital and its subsidiaries are parties to certain legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of their business, none of which are expected to
have a material adverse impact on Security Capital.
 
THE PROPOSED MERGERS
 
In December 1996, management of Security Capital proposed to its Board that
Security Capital exchange its REIT management companies and property management
companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively. In January
1997, based on the direction of its Board, Security Capital proposed to the
Board of Directors of ATLANTIC and the Board of Trustees of each of PTR and
SCI, that each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI become internally managed. On March 24,
1997, Security Capital and each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI entered into the
Merger Agreements. Pursuant to the Merger Agreements, Security Capital will
cause its affiliates providing REIT management and property management services
to each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively, to be merged into a newly
formed subsidiary of each such entity with the result that all personnel
employed in the REIT management and property management businesses would become
officers and employees of the REITs, respectively, as follows:
 
  .  Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated and SCG Realty
     Services Atlantic Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT
     management and property management services to ATLANTIC), to a newly
     formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for shares of ATLANTIC's
     common stock valued at $54,608,549.
 
  .  Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital Pacific Incorporated and SCG Realty
     Services Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT management
     and property management services to PTR), to a newly formed subsidiary
     of PTR in exchange for common shares of PTR valued at $75,838,457.
 
  .  Security Capital will transfer its interests in its wholly owned
     subsidiaries, Security Capital Industrial Incorporated and SCI Client
     Services Incorporated (which provide Security Capital's REIT management
     and property management services to SCI), to a newly formed subsidiary
     of SCI in exchange for common shares of SCI valued at $81,870,626.
 
  .  Security Capital will license to each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI the
     trademarks and tradenames used in their respective businesses.
 
                                       29

  .  The shareholders of each of Security Capital, ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI must
     approve the respective Merger Agreements. The shareholders of Security
     Capital approved each Merger Agreement on April 17, 1997. It is
     currently expected that the shareholder votes of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI
     will occur in the third quarter of 1997 and, if approved, the Mergers
     are expected to close in that same quarter. The Mergers are also subject
     to customary closing conditions.
 
  .  The number of shares of ATLANTIC common stock and common shares of PTR
     and SCI to be issued to Security Capital will be based on the public
     market value of the shares on the five-day period prior to the record
     date for mailing proxy statements seeking shareholder approval for the
     transactions, subject to the price being within an 11.24% range of the
     closing price of the shares on March 14, 1997 ($23 1/4, $24 3/8 and $22
     1/4 for ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively). If the price of the shares
     falls outside of the range, then the number of shares issuable to
     Security Capital will be based on the high or low end of the range, as
     the case may be.
 
  .  In order to allow the common shareholders to maintain their relative
     percentage ownership in ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, respectively,
     concurrently with the proxy solicitation seeking approval of the
     Mergers, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI will conduct a rights offering
     entitling its common shareholders, other than Security Capital, to
     purchase additional common shares. The rights offering price will be the
     same price at which shares will be issued to Security Capital under the
     respective Merger Agreements if the price of the shares falls within the
     range described above. If the market price of the shares at the record
     date for the rights offering is below the minimum price of the range,
     the rights offering will be conducted at such market price, and if the
     market price of the shares is above the maximum price of the range, the
     rights offering will be conducted at the maximum price at which shares
     will be issued to Security Capital pursuant to the transaction.
 
  .  As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreements, and
     to permit the REIT shareholders to benefit from the Mergers on the same
     basis as Security Capital equity holders, Security Capital will issue,
     pro rata, Warrants to the common equity holders (e.g., holders of common
     shares, convertible preferred shares and, in the case of SCI, units) of
     each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI, other than Security Capital, after the
     closing of the Mergers. If all the Mergers are approved by their
     respective shareholders, Security Capital will issue, pro rata, Warrants
     to acquire an aggregate of $250 million of its Class B Shares. The
     number of Class B Shares subject to the Warrants will be based on the
     market price of the Class B Shares on a date within approximately 60
     days following the closing of the Mergers. The Warrants will each be
     exercisable at an exercise price based on the price of the Class B
     Shares on a date to be established following the completion of the
     Offering. It is expected that application will be made to list the
     Warrants on the NYSE, although there can be no assurance that the
     Warrants will be listed. The Warrants will expire one year after
     issuance and will contain customary anti-dilution provisions.

(1) The amounts shown are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
material assumptions incorporated in the Black-Scholes model for estimating the
value of the options include the following: exercise prices of $1,139 equal to
the estimated fair market value of the Class A Shares on the date of grant;
average expected option term of seven years; interest rate of 6.32% which
represents the interest rate on the date of grant on a U.S. Treasury security
with a maturity date corresponding to the option term; expected volatility of
20% calculated based on (i) the annualized weekly volatility of Berkshire
Hathaway Class B shares over the period of May 1996 to February 1997, (ii)
monthly Class A Shares estimated fair market values for 1995 and 1996, (iii)
consideration of the volatility of various publicly traded REITs and (iv) an
estimate of Security Capital's weighted-average volatility; and dividends at
the rate of $0 per Class A Share. The actual value, if any, an option holder
will realize upon exercise of an option will depend on the excess of the market
value of the Company's Class A Shares over the exercise price on the date the
option is exercised. There is no assurance the value realized by an option
holder will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model.
(2) Does not include options to purchase 60,000 shares of Homestead common
stock at $10 per share which were granted on October 15, 1996, and which expire
on October 15, 2006.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS
 
Security Capital has no employment contracts with any executive officer and no
plans or arrangements by which any such executive officer will be compensated
as a result of his resignation or retirement or any other termination of his
employment with Security Capital and its subsidiaries or, except as described
below under "--1995 Option Plan," in connection with a change in control of
Security Capital.
 
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN
 
On September 17, 1996, the Board approved the Security Capital Group
Incorporated Outside Directors Plan (the "Outside Directors Plan"). The Outside
Directors Plan has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part and the following summary of the material
terms of the Outside Directors Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the actual terms thereof.
 
The purpose of the Outside Directors Plan is to enable the directors of
Security Capital who are not employees or officers of Security Capital or any
of its affiliates ("Outside Directors") to increase their ownership of Security
Capital and thereby further the identity of their interests with those of
Security Capital's other shareholders. To achieve the foregoing objective, the
Outside Directors Plan provides for grants of options ("Options") to purchase
Class A Shares. The Secretary of Security Capital (the "Administrator")
administers the Outside Directors Plan with a view to Security Capital's best
interests and the Outside Directors Plan's objectives. The Administrator has
authority to adopt administrative guidelines, rules and regulations relating to
the Outside Directors Plan and to make all determinations necessary or
advisable for the implementation and administration of the Outside Directors
Plan.
 
The number of Class A Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan is 7,000. The Class A Shares subject
to the Outside Directors Plan may be currently authorized but unissued Class A
Shares or treasury Class A Shares held or subsequently purchased by Security
Capital, including Class A Shares purchased in the open market or in private
transactions. If Security Capital shall effect any subdivision or consolidation
of Class A Shares, payment of a stock dividend, stock split, combination of
Class A Shares or recapitalization or other increase or reduction of the number
of Class A Shares outstanding without receiving compensation therefor in money,
services or property, then the Administrator shall adjust: (i) the number of
Class A Shares available under the Outside Directors Plan; (ii) the number of
Class A Shares available under any Outside Directors Plan limits; (iii) the
number of Class A Shares subject to any outstanding Options; (iv) the number of
Class A Shares subject to future grant; and (v) the per share exercise price
under any outstanding Option.
 
On September 17, 1996, each Outside Director was granted an option to purchase
150 Class A Shares at an exercise price of $1,066 per share, except a recently
appointed Outside Director who was granted options to purchase 75 Class A
Shares at an exercise price of $1,066 per share, the fair market value of the
Class A Shares on the date of the grant. On January 1, 1997, each Outside
Director was granted an Option to purchase 150 Class A Shares at an exercise
price of $1,237 per share, the fair market value of the Class A Shares on such
date. On January 1 of each year, an Outside Director serving on such date will
be granted an Option to purchase 150 Class A Shares at an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of the Class A Shares on such date. In the event an
Outside Director is appointed during the year, such person will receive an
award reduced to reflect the portion of the year such person will serve as an
Outside Director.
 
Each Option becomes exercisable one year from the date of grant, or earlier in
the event of death or disability of the director. Each Option shall expire on
the earlier of: (i) the ten-year anniversary of the date of grant; (ii) the
three-month anniversary of the director's termination for any reason other than
death, disability or retirement; or (iii) the one-year anniversary of the
director's termination by death, disability or retirement. Options are not
transferable prior to exercise, except as designated by the director by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the previous sentence,
the Administrator may permit Options under the Outside Directors Plan to be
transferred to or for the benefit of the director's family.
 
If Security Capital is reorganized, merged or consolidated or is party to a
plan or exchange with another corporation, pursuant to which reorganization,
merger, consolidation or plan of exchange the shareholders of Security Capital
receive any shares of stock or other securities or property, or Security
Capital shall distribute securities of another corporation to its shareholders,
there shall be substituted for the Class A Shares subject to outstanding
Options an appropriate number of shares of each class of stock or amount of
other securities or property which were distributed to the shareholders of
Security Capital in respect of such Class A Shares; provided that, upon the
occurrence of a reorganization of Security Capital or any other event described
in this paragraph, any successor to Security Capital shall be substituted for
Security Capital.

The Outside Directors Plan was approved by the shareholders of Security Capital
at a special meeting of shareholders in April 1997 and may be amended or
terminated at any time by the Board.
 
1995 OPTION PLAN
 
The following description of certain provisions of the Security Capital Group
Incorporated 1995 Option Plan (the "1995 Option Plan") is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the 1995 Option Plan, a copy of which is filed as an
exhibit to this registration statement.
 
General
With respect to Options granted prior to December 3, 1996, the 1995 Option Plan
provided for the granting of Options to purchase Class A Shares in tandem with
Options to purchase 2014 Convertible Debentures. The Options must be exercised
in tandem and must be in a unit. With respect to Options granted on or after
December 3, 1996, the 1995 Option Plan provides for the granting of Options to
purchase only Class A Shares. The Compensation Committee administers the 1995
Option Plan. The Compensation Committee determines the key and emerging key
employees of Security Capital or its subsidiaries or affiliates to whom awards
under the 1995 Option Plan will be granted ("Participants") and the terms and
conditions of such awards. Each member of the Compensation Committee must be a
"non-employee" as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section
16 of the Exchange Act.
 
Options
An Option may be granted so as to qualify for treatment as an incentive stock
option (an "Incentive Option") pursuant to Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or so as not to so qualify (a "Non-
Qualified Option"). The exercise price (the "Option Price") for each Option
shall be determined by the Compensation Committee and shall not be less than
the greater of the fair market value of the underlying Class A Shares on the
date of the grant of the Option or the par value of the underlying shares. The
full purchase price of each Class A Share and 2014 Convertible Debentures
purchased upon the exercise of any Option shall be paid at the time of
exercise. The Option Price shall be payable in cash. In addition, Participants
who own Class A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures for at least six months
may surrender such shares or debentures (valued at fair market value as of the
day such shares or debentures are tendered) for all or a portion of the Option
Price. No Option may be exercised unless cash or previously purchased Security
Capital securities are paid for the Option Price.
 
Subject to certain adjustments described below, Options for up to 139,716
shares of Class A Shares (representing 5.4% of the outstanding Class A Shares
on a fully diluted basis) may be granted. Class A Shares issuable on conversion
of the 2014 Convertible Debentures are included in such maximum number of
shares for which Options may be granted. Class A Shares issued upon exercise of
Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan may be either authorized and
unissued shares or shares issued and thereafter acquired by Security Capital.
Class A Shares allocated to an Option which expires or terminates without the
issuance of Class A Shares may be allocated to new Options granted under the
1995 Option Plan.
 
If Security Capital shall effect any subdivision or consolidation of Class A
Shares or other capital readjustment, payment of stock dividend, stock split,
combination of Class A Shares or recapitalization or other increase or
reduction of the number of Class A Shares outstanding without receiving
compensation therefor, then the Compensation Committee shall adjust (i) the
number of Class A Shares available under the 1995 Option Plan, (ii) the number
of Class A Shares subject to outstanding Options, and (iii) the per share price
under any outstanding Option. If Security Capital is reorganized, merged or
consolidated or is party to a plan of exchange with another corporation,
pursuant to which reorganization, merger, consolidation or plan of exchange,
the shareholders of Security Capital receive any shares of stock or other
securities or property, or Security Capital shall distribute securities of
another corporation to its shareholders, there shall be substituted for the
Class A Shares subject to outstanding Options an appropriate number of shares
of each class of stock or amount of other securities or property which were
distributed to the shareholders of Security Capital in respect of such Class A
Shares, subject to the following: (i) if the Compensation Committee determines
that the substitution described in this sentence would not be fully consistent
with the purposes of the 1995 Option Plan or the purposes of the outstanding
Options under the 1995 Option Plan, the Compensation Committee may make such
other adjustments to the Options to the extent that the Compensation Committee
determines such adjustments are consistent with the purposes of the 1995 Option
Plan and of the affected Options, (ii) all or any of the Options may be
cancelled by the Compensation Committee on or
 
                                       40
<PAGE>
 
immediately prior to the effective date of the applicable transaction, but only
if the Compensation Committee gives reasonable advance notice of the
cancellation to each affected Participant, and only if either (A) the
Participant is permitted to exercise the Option in full for a reasonable period
prior to the effective date of the cancellation or (B) the Participant receives
payment or other benefits that the Compensation Committee determines to be
reasonable compensation for the value of the cancelled Options, and (iii) upon
the occurrence of a reorganization of Security Capital or any other event
described in this sentence, any successor to Security Capital shall be
substituted for Security Capital to the extent that Security Capital and the
successor agree to such substitution. Finally, upon the sale to, or exchange
with, a third party unrelated to Security Capital of all or substantially all
of the assets of Security Capital, all Options shall be cancelled. If Options
are cancelled, then, with respect to any affected Participant, either (i) the
Participant shall be provided with reasonable advance notice of the
cancellation, and the Participant shall be permitted to exercise the Option in
full for a reasonable period prior to the effective date of the cancellation,
or (ii) the Participant shall receive payment or other benefits that the
Compensation Committee determines to be reasonable compensation for the value
of the cancelled Options.
 
Subject to earlier termination as described below, the expiration date for each
Option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, but the expiration
date with respect to any Option shall be no later than the earliest to occur
of: (i) the ten-year anniversary of the date on which the Option is granted;
(ii) if the Participant's termination occurs by reason of death, disability or
retirement, the one-year anniversary of the date of termination, except in the
event of termination due to death or disability, all Options become immediately
exercisable; (iii) if the Participant's termination occurs for reasons other
than death, disability, retirement or cause, the three-month anniversary of
such date of termination; and (iv) if the Participant's termination occurs for
cause, the date of termination.
 
In the event that (i) a Participant's employment is terminated by Security
Capital or a successor to Security Capital or an affiliated entity which is his
or her employer for reasons other than cause following a Change in Control (as
defined in the 1995 Option Plan) of Security Capital or (ii) the 1995 Option
Plan is terminated by the Company or its successor following a Change in
Control without provision for the continuation of outstanding Options, all
Options which have not otherwise expired shall become immediately exercisable.
 
Options granted under the 1995 Option Plan are not transferable other than by
will, by the laws of descent and distribution or, to the extent provided by the
Compensation Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order. To
the extent that the Participant who receives an Option under the 1995 Option
Plan has the right to exercise such Option, the Option may be exercised during
the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Compensation Committee may permit Options under the 1995 Option
Plan to be transferred to or for the benefit of the Participant's family,
subject to such limits as the Compensation Committee may establish. However, in
no event shall an Incentive Option be transferable to the extent that such
transferability would violate the requirements applicable to such Option under
Section 422 of the Code.
 
The Compensation Committee may provide the Participant with the right to
receive a replacement Option, in Class A Shares only, for the number of Class A
Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures used to satisfy the Participant's
minimum tax obligations upon exercise of the original Option. In order to
receive the replacement Option, the original Option must be exercised prior to
termination of the Participant's employment. A replacement Option shall be
granted on the date of exercise of the original Option to which it relates with
an Option Price equal to the fair market value on the date of the grant of the
replacement Option. Additionally, a replacement Option shall have the same
expiration date as the original Option to which it relates and shall be
exercisable no earlier than six months after its grant date.
 
Amendment and Termination
The 1995 Option Plan may, at any time, be amended or terminated by the Board,
provided that, subject to the provision relating the adjustment of Class A
Shares, no amendment or termination may materially adversely affect the rights
of any Participant or beneficiary under any Option granted under the 1995
Option Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board.
 
OTHER OPTION PLANS
 
Security Capital's predecessors also adopted the Security Capital Realty
Investors Incorporated Option Plans A and B (each a "Realty Option Plan") and
the Security Capital Group Incorporated 1991 and 1992 Option Plans A and the
1991 and 1992 Option Plans B (each a "Group Option Plan"). The Realty Option
Plans provide for the grant of
 
                                       41
<PAGE>
 
options to purchase Class A Shares. In 1994, to reflect a distribution of debt
securities to shareholders, all of the outstanding options under the Realty
Option Plans were adjusted to add a tandem right to purchase 2014 Convertible
Debentures. Each of the Group Option Plans provides for the grant of tandem
options to purchase Class A Shares and 2014 Convertible Debentures. Generally,
all of the plans contain terms substantially similar to the 1995 Option Plan
except that the Group 1991 and 1992 Option Plans A and B provide for the
automatic grant of options to purchase Class A Shares in tandem with 2014
Convertible Debentures. Each Class A Share under an option must be exercised in
tandem with a specified face amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (referred to
as a "Unit"). The number of Class A Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to
options under the Realty Option Plans A and B and the Group 1991 and 1992
Option Plans A and the 1991 and 1992 Option Plans B (including Class A Shares
issuable upon the conversion of the 2014 Convertible Debentures) are 16,366,
3,845, 9,982, 29,946, 7,010 and 21,031, respectively. Of such shares, 313, 0,
0, 0, 0 and 0, respectively, remain available for the granting of Options
thereunder.

(1) Prior to 1995, Security Capital consolidated the accounts of SCI and
PACIFIC. During 1995, Security Capital's ownership of SCI decreased to less
than 50% and PACIFIC was merged into PTR. Accordingly, these entities were
deconsolidated effective January 1, 1995.

consolidated financial statements included in this Prospectus for more
information concerning the 1995 Merger and the predecessor entity.
(3) During 1994, Security Capital made a $757.50 per share distribution of the
2014 Convertible Debentures resulting in a total increase of $417.2 million in
outstanding 2014 Convertible Debentures.
(4) Security Capital does not guarantee the debt of any of its consolidated or
unconsolidated operating companies.
(5) For the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, Security Capital
elected to be taxed as a REIT and made cash distributions to its shareholders.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Information" and the financial statements included elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in
"Selected Financial Information" and the consolidated financial statements of
Security Capital are not indicative of the future operations of Security
Capital.
 
OVERVIEW
 
Security Capital has obtained its income historically from two sources: (1)
Security Capital's share of earnings in ATLANTIC, PTR, SCI, Security Capital
USREALTY and Homestead, some of which Security Capital accounts for by the
equity method where it owns less than a 50% controlling interest (PTR, SCI and
Security Capital USREALTY) and others of which are consolidated in Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements (ATLANTIC and Homestead) and (2)
financial services revenues earned by the Real Estate Research Group, the
Investment Research Group and the Financial Services Group and, prior to the
Mergers, the REIT management and property management companies. Revenues from
the Services Division are only reflected in Security Capital's consolidated
financial statements if they were earned from investees accounted for by the
equity method. Services Division revenues earned from consolidated investees
are eliminated in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Services
Division revenues earned from PTR and SCI have historically been based upon a
percentage of the cash flow from operations or a percentage of revenues, as
defined in the applicable REIT management and property management agreements,
respectively. See "Relationships with Operating Companies--PTR--PTR REIT
Management Agreement," "--PTR Property Management," "--SCI--SCI REIT Management
Agreement" and "--SCI Property Management."
 
Security Capital USREALTY, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, accounts for its investments at market value or estimated fair
value (depending on whether the investment is publicly traded) and reflects
changes in such values in its statement of income pursuant to fair value
accounting principles. The Company accounts for its investment in Security
Capital USREALTY using the equity method and, as a consequence, the Company's
results of operations are affected by changes in the fair value of Security
Capital USREALTY's investments. Security Capital USREALTY values its
investments in publicly traded companies at market determined by using closing
market prices as of the relevant balance sheet date. Security Capital USREALTY
values its investments in private companies at fair value, generally determined
at cost, or an appropriate lower value if the investment is not performing as
expected. If substantial additional capital is raised by an investee from
independent third parties in a private placement, Security Capital USREALTY
values its investment at the price at which that capital was raised when a
substantial percentage of the new subscriptions have been funded. In addition,
through an advisory relationship with Security Capital USREALTY, the Services
Division also earns advisory fee revenues based on a percentage of the fair
value of Security Capital USREALTY's investments (not including short-term
investments and investments in Security Capital). See "Relationships with
Operating Companies--Security Capital USREALTY--Advisory Agreement" and "--Sub-
Advisory Agreement."
 
Effective January 1, 1995, the predecessor of Security Capital, Security
Capital Realty Incorporated, acquired Security Capital Group Incorporated.
Subsequently, the merged entity was renamed Security Capital Group
Incorporated. As part of the 1995 Merger, Security Capital acquired the
Services Division. See Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements included herein. From 1992 until the 1995 Merger, Security Capital
Realty Incorporated elected to be taxed as a REIT and, accordingly, made cash
distributions to its shareholders. On March 23, 1995, the merger of PACIFIC
with and into PTR (the "PTR Merger") was completed. See "Relationships with
Operating Companies--PTR--Merger and Public Offerings" and Note 3 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements included herein. On October 17,
1996, Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR spun-off their respective extended-
stay lodging assets to Homestead. See "Relationship with Operating Companies--
Homestead--Homestead Transaction" and Note 3 to the Company's consolidated
financial statements included herein.
 
If the proposed Mergers involving ATLANTIC, PTR and SCI are consummated,
Security Capital will exchange its interests in the applicable REIT management
companies and property management companies for common shares of ATLANTIC, PTR
and SCI, respectively. Although the effects of completion of the proposed
Mergers on the
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
 
Company's future consolidated results of operations are complex, the Company
expects reductions in Services Division revenues relating to the sale of the
REIT management and property management companies for PTR and SCI to be
substantially offset by decreases in Company-level personnel and other costs
attributable to the operation of such companies and increases in capital
investments revenues attributable to its ownership of additional common shares
of PTR and SCI.
 
Please refer to the Index to Financial Statements for the audited financial
statements of PTR, SCI and Security Capital USREALTY, Security Capital's
unconsolidated affiliates that are accounted for by the equity method.
 
1996 COMPARED TO 1995
 
CAPITAL DIVISION INVESTMENTS
 
Dividends Received
 
Security Capital's dividends received increased $19.0 million, or 21%, from
$89.6 million in 1995 to $108.6 million in 1996.
 
Equity in earnings of less than 50% owned investees
Security Capital's share of SCI's earnings increased 21% from $21.0 million in
1995 to $25.4 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in the amount of distribution space owned and leased by SCI (80.6
million square feet at December 31, 1996 compared to 58.5 million square feet
at December 31, 1995) and increased rental rates on renewal leases for
previously occupied space, and was partly offset by a small decrease in SCI's
average occupancy levels (93.4% in 1996 compared to 95.4% in 1995). At December
31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding
common shares of SCI was 46% and 48%, respectively.
 
Security Capital's share of PTR's earnings increased 62% from $24.6 million in
1995 to $39.8 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to a
substantial increase in the number of multifamily properties owned by PTR
(42,702 operating units at December 31, 1996 compared to 38,737 operating units
at December 31, 1995), and significant gains ($37.5 million) on sales of
properties in 1996. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital's ownership
interest in the outstanding common shares of PTR was 36% and 38%, respectively.
 
Security Capital's share of Security Capital USREALTY's earnings increased
substantially from $0.1 million in 1995 to $103.2 million in 1996. Security
Capital USREALTY effectively commenced its investment activities in 1996, and
at December 31, 1996, Security Capital USREALTY had investments at cost of
$1.18 billion with a fair market value of $1.43 billion, resulting in
unrealized appreciation of $250 million which is accounted for by Security
Capital USREALTY pursuant to fair value accounting principles. In addition,
Security Capital USREALTY recorded net investment income (defined as dividends
and other investment income net of administration expenses, advisor fees, taxes
and interest) of $16.4 million in 1996. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security
Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common stock of Security
Capital USREALTY was 39% and 32%, respectively.
 
Rental Operations--from greater than 50% owned consolidated investees
 
Rental Revenues
Rental revenues increased $42.3 million, or 41%, from $103.6 million in 1995 to
$145.9 million in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in the number of multifamily units owned and operated by ATLANTIC (19,241
operating units at December 31, 1996 compared to 15,823 operating units at
December 31, 1995), coupled with stable occupancies (approximately 95%) in both
1996 and 1995. Also accounting for part of the increase in rental revenues is
the consolidation of Homestead after the spin-out transaction completed on
October 17, 1996 by Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR of their extended-stay
lodging assets. Homestead generated $8.2 million in revenues for the two and
one-half month period ended December 31, 1996.
 
Other Income, Net
Other income consists of interest and miscellaneous income of $3.4 million and
$1.8 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, and in 1996 includes miscellaneous
gains on sales of ATLANTIC properties.
 
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses increased by $16.1 million, or 42%, to $54.0 million in 1996
from $37.9 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the
increase in the number of ATLANTIC's operating multifamily communities
discussed previously. ATLANTIC's rental expenses increased $12.0 million
(excluding REIT and property management fees) in 1996 compared to 1995.
Homestead's rental expenses were $4.1 million for the period from October 17,
1996 to December 31, 1996.

<PAGE>
 
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $34.5 million and
$26.0 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Of those amounts, $21.9 million
and $15.9 million represented depreciation and amortization from rental
operations in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
Depreciation for ATLANTIC increased $4.9 million to $20.8 million in 1996 from
$15.9 million in 1995, an increase of 31%, due to the increase in the number of
operating multifamily communities between 1995 and 1996. Depreciation for
Homestead was $1.1 million for the two and one-half month period ended December
31, 1996. The remaining depreciation and amortization of $12.6 million and
$10.1 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, is attributable to the Services
Division, which is discussed below.
 
SERVICES DIVISION
 
Revenues
Services Division revenues increased from $49.4 million in 1995 to $77.5
million in 1996. Services Division revenues are only reflected in the Company's
consolidated financial statements if they were earned from investees in which
Security Capital owns less than a 50% interest. Financial services revenues
earned from PTR and SCI are based on a percentage of the cash flow from
operations or on a percentage of revenues, as defined by the REIT and property
management agreements, respectively. Through the Advisory Agreement (as defined
below) with Security Capital USREALTY, Security Capital earns revenues based on
a percentage of the fair value of Security Capital USREALTY's investments (not
including short term investments and investments in Security Capital). The
increase of $28.1 million in Services Division revenues in 1996 as compared to
1995 was primarily attributable to growth in operations at each of the
Company's non-consolidated investees. In particular, financial services
revenues earned from SCI increased $13.8 million, financial services revenues
earned from PTR increased $3.8 million and advisory revenues earned from
Security Capital USREALTY increased $7.9 million. The remaining services
revenues of $2.6 million were earned by Security Capital Markets Group.
Services Division revenues and associated expenses will be reduced
substantially following completion of the proposed Mergers. See "--Overview."
 
Depreciation and Amortization
As discussed above, total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital
was $34.5 million in 1996, $12.6 million of which was attributable to Services
Division companies, representing an increase of $2.5 million over Services
Division depreciation and amortization for 1995 of $10.1 million. Both the 1996
and 1995 amounts included approximately $7.9 million of amortization of
goodwill from the 1995 Merger, as further described in Note 1 to Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements. The $2.5 million increase between
1995 and 1996 is a result of additional depreciation on furniture, fixtures and
equipment (consisting primarily of computer and communications equipment)
acquired in connection with the expansion of the Services Division and Security
Capital's decision to fund additional investments in information technology.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
Security Capital's consolidated interest expense consists of interest on the
2014 Convertible Debentures and 2016 Convertible Debentures, interest on
revolving lines of credit which are obligations of Security Capital and
ATLANTIC and interest on mortgage notes payable which are obligations of
ATLANTIC and Homestead. Interest expense for 1996 and 1995 is summarized as
follows:

Debenture interest increased as a result of the issuance of 2016 Convertible
Debentures in 1996 totalling $226.5 million as well as the issuance of an
additional $185 million of 2014 Convertible Debentures during 1995. See the
discussion of "Convertible Debt" in Note 4 to the Company's consolidated
financial statements included herein.
 
ATLANTIC's mortgage interest expense increase in 1996 was the result of an
increase in average mortgage debt outstanding.
 
ATLANTIC's line of credit interest expense increase in 1996 was primarily
attributable to an increase in the average outstanding balance ($204.3 million
in 1996 as compared to $178.3 million in 1995) and was partially offset by a
lower weighted-average interest rate (7.39% in 1996 as compared to 7.92% in
1995). The increase was also attributable to increased amortization of loan-
related costs.
 
The overall increase in interest expense for ATLANTIC was offset by an increase
in capitalized interest of $5.8 million in 1996 over 1995. The increase in
capitalized interest was attributable to ATLANTIC's increased development
activity.
 
Homestead's mortgage interest expense for 1996 was attributable to Homestead's
borrowing under its funding commitment agreement with PTR for development of
extended-stay lodging facilities. Interest expense was recorded for the period
from October 17, 1996, the date of the spin-out transaction, through December
31, 1996. Interest expense for Homestead was also affected by the amortization
of deferred financing costs and other loan-related costs incurred as a result
of the spin-out.
 
PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS
Payroll and related costs increased by $24.0 million, or 43%, in 1996 to $80.1
million from $56.1 million in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to
the expansion of the Services Division, including the hiring of additional
professionals. Security Capital continues to make substantial investments in
personnel, operating systems and research capabilities in order to take
advantage of future growth opportunities. Payroll and related costs will be
reduced following the proposed Mergers as a result of the transfer of personnel
employed by Security Capital to PTR and SCI. See "--Overview."
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative costs increased by $13.0 million, or 56%, in 1996 to
$36.0 million from $23.0 million in 1995. The increase was directly
attributable to the increase in the number of employees as a result of the
growth of the Services Division. General and administrative costs will be
reduced following the proposed Mergers as a result of the transfer of personnel
employed by Security Capital to PTR and SCI. See "--Overview."
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes in 1996 was primarily attributable to deferred
income taxes on the equity in earnings of Security Capital USREALTY, none of
which is currently taxable. In 1995, Security Capital had net deferred tax
assets (primarily net operating losses) that were completely offset by a
valuation allowance. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was recorded in
1995. See Note 8 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included
herein.
 
MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests increased from $4.8 million in 1995 to $13.4 million in 1996
due to increased earnings at ATLANTIC, coupled with an increase in minority
interests in ATLANTIC in conjunction with its initial public offering in
October 1996.
 
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
On April 1, 1996, Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock to a single investor. The Series A Preferred Stock carries a 7.5%
preferential cash dividend rate, payable when and if authorized by the Board
quarterly in arrears. Security Capital paid $7.8 million in dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock in 1996. See "Description of Capital Stock--Preferred
Stock."

Dividends Received
 
Security Capital's dividends received increased $41.4 million, or 86%, from
$48.2 million in 1994 to $89.6 million in 1995.

Equity in earnings of less than 50% owned investees
Security Capital consolidated SCI's operations in 1994 and reported earnings of
SCI based on the equity method in 1995. For purposes of comparison between the
years, SCI results of operations for 1994 are discussed below as if the equity
method was in effect for 1994. Security Capital's share of SCI's earnings
increased 65%, from $12.7 million in 1994 to $21.0 million in 1995. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the amount of
distribution space owned and leased by SCI (58.5 million square feet at
December 31, 1995 compared to 39.1 million square feet at December 31, 1994),
improvements in SCI's average occupancy levels (95.42% in 1995 compared to
93.32% in 1994) and increased rental rates on renewal leases for previously
occupied space. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Security Capital's ownership
interest in the outstanding common shares of SCI was 48% and 51%, respectively.
 
Security Capital reported earnings of PTR based on the equity method in both
1995 and 1994. However, PTR's 1995 earnings include the earnings of PACIFIC
which was merged into PTR in March 1995. For purposes of comparison between the
years, PTR's results of operations for 1994 are discussed below as if the PTR
Merger had occurred at the beginning of 1994. Security Capital's share of PTR's
earnings increased 69%, from $14.6 million in 1994 ($8.8 million from PTR and
$5.8 million from PACIFIC) to $24.6 million in 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to a substantial increase in 1995 in the number of
multifamily properties owned by PTR (38,737 operating units at December 31,
1995 compared to 30,182 operating units at December 31, 1994) and Security
Capital's increased ownership interest in PTR. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
Security Capital's ownership interest in the outstanding common shares of PTR
was 38% and 32%, respectively.
 
Rental Operations--from greater than 50% owned consolidated investees
 
Rental Revenues and Expenses
During 1995 and 1994, all rental revenues and expenses of the Company pertained
solely to ATLANTIC's operations. Rental revenues increased $48.6 million, or
88%, to $103.6 million in 1995 from $55.0 million in 1994. Rental expenses
increased $14.9 million, or 65%, to $37.9 million in 1995 (excluding REIT and
property management fees) from $23.0 million in 1994. The increase in rental
revenues and expenses was primarily attributable to the increase in the number
of multifamily communities. At December 31, 1995, ATLANTIC had 15,823 operating
multifamily units as compared to 11,990 operating multifamily units at December
31, 1994. In 1994, ATLANTIC acquired 11,307 units and the majority of its
properties were not owned for the full year. At December 31, 1994, 94.7% of
ATLANTIC's units were classified as "pre-stabilized" as compared to 25.7% at
December 31, 1995. The term "pre-stabilized" means that renovation,
repositioning, new management and new marketing programs (or development and
marketing in the case of newly developed communities) have not been completed
and in effect for a sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12
months, except in cases of major rehabilitation) to achieve 93% occupancy at
market rents.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
Total depreciation and amortization for Security Capital was $26.0 million for
1995, which represented an increase of $17.2 million from depreciation and
amortization of $8.8 million for 1994. Depreciation and amortization from
rental operations was $15.9 million and $8.8 million in 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The $7.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization from
rental operations, which represented an increase of 81% over 1994, was due to
increases in ATLANTIC's portfolio of operating properties and the reflection of
a full year of depreciation in 1995 for properties acquired during 1994. The
remaining increase of $10.1 million in 1995 was attributable to the Services
Division.
 
SERVICES DIVISION
 
Revenues
Services Division revenues were $49.4 million in 1995. As mentioned previously,
the Services Division companies were acquired by Security Capital on January 1,
1995 as a result of the 1995 Merger.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the Services Division was $10.1 million in
1995, of which $7.9 million was attributable to amortization of goodwill from
the 1995 Merger and $2.2 million was attributable to depreciation on furniture,
fixtures and equipment (primarily computer and communications equipment) which
was not owned by Security Capital in 1994.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Security Capital's interest expense for 1995 and 1994 consisted of interest on
the 2014 Convertible Debentures, interest on revolving lines of credit which
are obligations of Security Capital and ATLANTIC and interest on mortgage notes
payable which are obligations of ATLANTIC. Interest expense for 1995 and 1994
can be summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
 
Interest on 2014 Convertible Debentures increased $49.1 million in 1995 from
$29.6 million in 1994. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of $461
million of 2014 Convertible Debentures in 1994, and the issuance of an
additional $185 million of 2014 Convertible Debentures in 1995.
 
ATLANTIC's mortgage interest expense increased $4.3 million in 1995 as compared
to 1994, due to an increase in average mortgage debt outstanding.
 
ATLANTIC's line of credit interest expense increased $10.3 million in 1995 over
1994. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average
outstanding balance on its line of credit ($178.3 million in 1995 as compared
to $65.6 million in 1994) and a higher weighted-average interest rate (7.92% in
1995 as compared to 7.34% in 1994). A portion of the increase was also
attributable to amortization of loan-related costs.
 
The overall increase in interest expense was offset by an increase in
capitalized interest of $3.6 million in 1995 over 1994. The increase in
capitalized interest was the result of ATLANTIC's increased development
activity.
 
PAYROLL AND RELATED COSTS
During 1995, Security Capital incurred payroll and related costs of $56.1
million as a result of the acquisition of the Services Division in the 1995
Merger.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative costs increased to $23.0 million in 1995 from $6.2
million in 1994, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Services
Division in the 1995 Merger. General and administrative costs in 1994 consisted
primarily of a REIT management fee paid by Security Capital amounting to $5.3
million, which was eliminated in 1995 as a result of the acquisition of the
Services Division in the 1995 Merger. General and administrative costs in 1995
included approximately $22.1 million in additional costs related to expansion
of the Services Division.
 
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Security Capital elected to be taxed as a REIT in 1994 and, therefore, incurred
no federal or state tax at the corporate level in 1994. In 1995, Security
Capital elected to be taxed as a C corporation. Security Capital sustained a
loss for tax purposes in 1995 and its deferred tax assets (primarily net
operating losses) were completely offset by a valuation allowance.
 
MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interests decreased $10.4 million, from $15.2 million in 1994 to $4.8
million in 1995, primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of SCI and
PACIFIC.
 
INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
OVERVIEW
Security Capital's investment activities consist primarily of the investment in
the common shares of its Capital Division investees and capital expenditures
relating to expansion of its Services Division business. The investment
 
                                       49
<PAGE>
 
activities of Security Capital's operating companies consist primarily of the
acquisition and development of real estate. Security Capital has historically
financed its investment activities primarily through the sale of stock and
debentures in private placements and borrowings under its line of credit.
 
Based on Security Capital's current level of operations and anticipated growth
as a result of pending new business initiatives, Security Capital expects that
cash flows from operations (including dividends and fees received from its
operating companies), the proceeds of this Offering and funds currently
available under its $300 million revolving line of credit will be sufficient to
enable Security Capital to satisfy its anticipated requirements for operating
and investing activities for the next twelve months. Security Capital intends
to finance its long-term business activities (including investments in new
business initiatives) through the proceeds of the Offering, borrowings under an
expanded line of credit and the exercise of the Warrants to be issued as
described below. In addition, the Company anticipates that its operating
companies will separately finance their activities through cash flow from
operations, sales of equity and debt securities and the incurrence of mortgage
debt or line of credit borrowings.
 
As of December 31, 1996, Security Capital had $193.0 million of callable
subscriptions for 2016 Convertible Debentures and Class A Shares, which
subscription amounts had been called and received as of March 31, 1997.
Concurrent with the Offering, Security Capital intends to register Warrants to
purchase $250 million of Class B Shares and to distribute the Warrants to the
shareholders of certain of its investees pursuant to the Mergers. These
Warrants will be issued subject to the closing of the proposed Mergers, will
have an exercise price based on the price of the Class B Shares on a date to be
established following completion of the Offering, and will have a term of one
year.
 
Security Capital's consolidated investees have undertaken the following recent
financing activities:
 
  .  In April 1997, ATLANTIC completed an $86 million (gross proceeds) equity
     offering to finance development and acquisition plans for 1997. (The
     offering is subject to a 15% overallotment option that could be
     exercised at the option of the underwriters through May 10, 1997.)
     Additionally, cash on hand, borrowings under its $350 million line of
     credit and securities offerings are expected to provide the remaining
     source of capital for ATLANTIC's financing needs.
 
  .  Homestead plans a development program for its extended-stay lodging
     properties which will be financed primarily through its funding
     commitment agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC, which agreements will
     provide up to $129 million and $111 million, respectively, in financing,
     as well as through outstanding warrants to purchase approximately $51
     million of Homestead common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1996
     (if such warrants are exercised). Homestead is currently negotiating a
     revolving line of credit and is considering securities offerings to
     provide additional sources of capital to meet its financing needs.
 
1996 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $832.3 million in 1996,
consisting primarily of (i) $267 million invested by ATLANTIC for the
development and acquisition of multifamily communities, (ii) $65 million
invested by Homestead for development of extended-stay lodging properties from
October 17, 1996 to December 31, 1996, (iii) $95 million invested by Security
Capital for common shares of SCI and ATLANTIC and (iv) $392.9 million invested
by Security Capital for common shares of Security Capital USREALTY.
 
Security Capital's 1996 net financing activity of $807.7 million consisted
primarily of (i) net proceeds from sales of common and preferred stock of
$438.3 million and $139.0 million, respectively, (ii) $221.6 million in net
proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Debentures, (iii) a $45.9 million
increase in outstanding mortgage loans for ATLANTIC and Homestead, (iv) net
repayments on lines of credit of $10.0 million and (v) other financing
transactions resulting in an aggregate use of cash of $26 million.
 
Also in 1996, ATLANTIC increased its line of credit to $350 million, and
Security Capital increased its line of credit to $300 million.
 
Security Capital completed the following non-cash transaction in 1996:
 
  .  On October 17, 1996, Security Capital, PTR, ATLANTIC and Homestead
     consummated the merger transactions described under "Relationship with
     Operating Companies--Homestead--Homestead Transaction." Since ATLANTIC
     and Homestead are consolidated with Security Capital, only the effect of
     PTR's transaction with Homestead is reflected in the Company's
     consolidated financial statements for the
 
                                       50
<PAGE>
 
     year ended December 31, 1996. With respect to the transaction between
     PTR and Homestead, Homestead acquired at the date of merger
     approximately $166 million of net assets in exchange for the issuance of
     9,485,727 shares of Homestead common stock and $76 million of
     convertible mortgage notes payable.
 
1995 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $493.9 million in 1995,
consisting primarily of $235.1 million invested by ATLANTIC for the development
and acquisition of multifamily communities and $254.4 million invested by the
Company for the acquisition of common shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC and Security
Capital USREALTY.
 
Security Capital's 1995 net financing activity of $486.9 million primarily
consisted of (i) net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $363.3 million,
(ii) $184.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Convertible
Debentures, (iii) a decrease in outstanding mortgage loans of $7.0 million for
ATLANTIC, (iv) net repayments on lines of credit of $39.5 million and (v) other
financing transactions resulting in an aggregate use of cash of $14.7 million.
 
Security Capital completed the following non-cash investing and financing
activities in 1995:
 
  .  On January 1, 1995, Security Capital acquired through the 1995 Merger
     the net assets of the Services Division companies for $233.7 million in
     exchange for debt and equity securities of Security Capital.
 
  .  On March 23, 1995, Security Capital exchanged the shares of its PACIFIC
     subsidiary for additional shares of PTR. The transaction was valued at
     approximately $136.0 million and resulted in Security Capital receiving
     an additional 8.5 million shares of PTR.
 
1994 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Security Capital recorded investments of approximately $1.2 billion in 1994,
primarily as a result of ATLANTIC's development and acquisition of multifamily
communities and SCI's development and acquisition of distribution facilities.
Security Capital also invested approximately $73.8 million to acquire PTR
common shares.
 
Security Capital's 1994 net financing activity of $1.2 billion primarily
consisted of (i) net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $788 million,

LINE OF CREDIT
SC Realty, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a $300
million secured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo. The line of credit
matures in November 1998 and may be extended for one year periods with the
approval of Wells Fargo and the other participating lenders. Borrowings on the
line of credit bear interest, at SC Realty's option, at either (i) LIBOR plus a
margin of 1.50% or (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus a margin of
 .50% or Wells Fargo's prime rate, with interest payable monthly in arrears. SC
Realty pays a commitment fee ranging from .125% to .25% per annum based on the
average unfunded line of credit balance. The line of credit is guaranteed by
Security Capital and is secured by shares of PTR, SCI, ATLANTIC, Security
Capital USREALTY and Homestead, as well as warrants to purchase shares in
Homestead.
 
The line of credit contains a restricted payments covenant which prohibits
dividends and distributions on SC Realty's capital stock in excess of 100% of
SC Realty's cash flow available for distribution (as defined). Security
Capital's guaranty of the line of credit also contains various financial and
other covenants applicable to the Company, including a minimum shareholders'
equity test, a total liabilities to net worth ratio and an interest
 
                                       51

indebtedness and effect consolidations, mergers (other than a consolidation or
merger in which the Company is the surviving entity) and sales of assets. The
guaranty also contains a restricted payments covenant which prohibits dividends
and distributions on the Company's capital stock in excess of 95% of the
Company's cash flow available for distribution (as defined).
 
As of April 25, 1997, SC Realty had borrowed $22 million under the line of
credit. See "Use of Proceeds."

                     RELATIONSHIPS WITH OPERATING COMPANIES
 
In addition to the transactions with affiliates described elsewhere in this
Prospectus, Security Capital has entered into the following agreements with its
affiliated real estate operating companies:
 
ATLANTIC
 
ATLANTIC REIT Management Agreement
ATLANTIC's REIT manager, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the
"ATLANTIC REIT Manager"), is owned by Security Capital. The ATLANTIC REIT
Manager's sole business and principal occupation since its formation in October
1993 is advising ATLANTIC. The services provided or coordinated by the ATLANTIC
REIT Manager include strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment
analysis, acquisition and due diligence, multifamily property development,
asset management, capital markets, asset disposition, legal and accounting
services. All such services are included in the fee paid to the ATLANTIC REIT
Manager by ATLANTIC (the "ATLANTIC REIT Management fee"), including capital
markets and development services, which most REITs capitalize (or, in the case
of capital markets, deduct from proceeds). The ATLANTIC REIT Management fee is
paid monthly and was $10.4 million, $6.9 million and $3.7 million for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This agreement will be
terminated upon the closing of the Mergers and all the employees of the
ATLANTIC REIT Manager will become employees of ATLANTIC.
 
ATLANTIC Property Management
Commencing May 12, 1994, SCG Realty Services (Atlantic) Incorporated (the
"ATLANTIC Property Manager"), an affiliate of the ATLANTIC REIT Manager and a
subsidiary of Security Capital, began providing property management services
for certain of ATLANTIC's properties. At March 31, 1997, the ATLANTIC Property
Manager managed approximately 88.3% of ATLANTIC's multifamily units. The
agreement terminates September 30, 1997, subject to earlier termination by
ATLANTIC on 30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of ATLANTIC's
independent directors and contemplates a fee to the ATLANTIC Property Manager
of 3.5% per annum of property revenues for properties located in Atlanta and
Washington, D.C. markets and 3.75% per annum of property revenues for all other
properties, paid monthly, which was $4.2 million, $3.5 million and $1.5 million
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Any
management contracts executed with the ATLANTIC Property Manager are expected
to be at market rates. This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of
the Mergers and all employees of the ATLANTIC Property Manager will become
employees of ATLANTIC.
 
ATLANTIC Investor Agreement
ATLANTIC and Security Capital are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as of
October 28, 1993 (the "ATLANTIC Investor Agreement"), which required Security
Capital to purchase $21.5 million in common stock of ATLANTIC, subject to
certain conditions. The ATLANTIC Investor Agreement, among other things,
requires ATLANTIC to obtain Security Capital's approval of (i) the annual
operating budget and substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts for
investment management, property management or leasing services or that
contemplate annual payments in excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions or
dispositions in a single transaction or a group of related transactions where
the purchase price exceeds $5 million. The ATLANTIC Investor Agreement also
provides that, so long as Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding
common stock of ATLANTIC, ATLANTIC may not increase its Board of Directors to
more than seven members. Security Capital is entitled to designate one or more
persons as directors, and ATLANTIC is obligated to use its best efforts to
cause the election of such persons, as follows: (i) so long as Security Capital
owns at least 10%, but less than 20%, of the outstanding common stock of
ATLANTIC, it is entitled to nominate two persons; and (ii) so long as Security
Capital owns at least 20% of the outstanding common stock of ATLANTIC, it is
entitled to nominate three persons.
 
In addition, the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement provides Security Capital with
registration rights pursuant to which, in certain circumstances, Security
Capital may demand, at any time, registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") of all or any part of
the shares of ATLANTIC's common stock owned by Security Capital.
 
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will amend and
restate the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement (as so amended and restated, the
"ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement"), which will provide that, without first
having consulted with the nominees of Security Capital designated in writing,
ATLANTIC may
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
 
not seek Board of Directors approval of (i) ATLANTIC's annual budget; (ii) the
incurrence of expenses in any year exceeding (a) any line item in the annual
budget by the greater of $500,000 or 20% and (b) the total expenses set forth
in the annual budget by 15%; (iii) the purchase or sale of any assets in any
single transaction or series of related transactions in the ordinary course of
ATLANTIC's business where the aggregate purchase price to be paid or received
by ATLANTIC would exceed $25 million; and (iv) the entering into of any new
contract with a service provider (a) for investment management, property
management or leasing services or (b) that reasonably contemplates annual
contract payments by ATLANTIC in excess of $1 million. ATLANTIC is under no
obligation to accept or comply with any advice offered by Security Capital with
respect to the foregoing matters.
 
Additionally, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 25% of the
common shares of ATLANTIC, Security Capital will have the right to approve the
following matters proposed by ATLANTIC: (i) the issuance or sale of any common
shares, (including the grant of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe
for or purchase common shares or any security convertible into or exchangeable
for common shares or the issuance or sale of any security convertible into or
exchangeable for common shares) at a price per share less than the fair market
value of a common share on the date of such issuance or sale; (ii) the issuance
and sale of any disqualified shares (as defined) if, as a result thereof,
ATLANTIC's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 1.4 to
1.0; (iii) the adoption of any employee benefit plan pursuant to which shares
of ATLANTIC or any securities convertible into shares of ATLANTIC may be issued
and any action with respect to the compensation of the senior officers of
ATLANTIC (including the granting or award of any bonuses or share-based
incentive awards); and (iv) the incurrence of any additional indebtedness
(including guarantees and including renegotiations and restructurings of
existing indebtedness) if, as a result thereof, ATLANTIC's Interest Expense
Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less than 2.0 to 1.0. The restriction
referred to in clause (i) above does not apply to (A) the sale or grant of any
options to purchase shares of ATLANTIC pursuant to the provisions of any
benefit plan approved by the shareholders of ATLANTIC, (B) the issuance or sale
of shares upon the exercise of any rights, options or warrants granted, or upon
the conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable security issued
or sold, prior to the closing date of the Mergers or in accordance with the
provisions of the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement, (C) the issuance and
sale of any shares of ATLANTIC pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and share
purchase plan approved by the ATLANTIC Board of Directors or (D) the issuance,
grant of distribution of rights, options or warrants to all holders of common
shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of ATLANTIC or
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares.
 
The ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement will also provide that, so long as
Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding common shares, ATLANTIC
may not increase the number of persons serving on the ATLANTIC Board of
Directors to more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled to
designate one or more persons as directors of ATLANTIC, as follows: (i) so long
as Security Capital owns at least 10% but less than 25% of the outstanding
common shares, it is entitled to nominate one person; and (ii) so long as
Security Capital owns at least 25% of the outstanding common shares, it is
entitled to nominate that number of persons as shall bear approximately the
same ratio to the total number of members of the ATLANTIC Board of Directors as
the number of common shares beneficially owned by Security Capital bears to the
total number of outstanding common shares, provided, that Security Capital
shall be entitled to designate no more than three persons so long as the
ATLANTIC Board of Directors consists of no more than seven members.
 
As part of the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement, Security Capital may make
employment opportunities with Security Capital or its affiliates available to
the officers and employees of ATLANTIC. Prior to commencing discussions with a
senior officer of ATLANTIC about any such opportunity, Security Capital must
give the ATLANTIC Board of Directors 14 days' prior written notice.
 
In addition, the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement provides Security Capital
with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified circumstances,
Security Capital may request at any time, registration of all of Security
Capital's common shares pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Security
Capital may request one such registration for every $100 million (based on
market value) of common shares of ATLANTIC it owns.
 
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into an
administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide ATLANTIC with certain administrative and other services with respect to
certain aspects of ATLANTIC's business, as selected from time to time by
ATLANTIC at
 
                                       54
<PAGE>
 
its option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to,
payroll and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable
services, data processing and other computer services, human resources,
research, investor relations, insurance administration and legal
administration. The fees payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security
Capital's cost of providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum amount
of approximately $5.2 million during the initial term of the agreement, of
which approximately $1.5 million will apply to the period between the closing
of the Mergers and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998. Cost
savings under this agreement will accrue to ATLANTIC. The agreement will be for
an initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically renewed
for consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the
independent members of the ATLANTIC Board of Directors.
 
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into a
license agreement pursuant to which Security Capital will grant ATLANTIC a non-
exclusive license to use Security Capital's registered logo and the non-
exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital." The term of the license
will be for a period of 15 years, subject to ATLANTIC's right to extend the
license for up to two additional five-year periods.
 
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into a
protection of business agreement (the "ATLANTIC Protection of Business
Agreement"), which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from
providing, anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly,
substantially the same services as those currently provided by the ATLANTIC
REIT Manager and the ATLANTIC Property Manager to any entity that owns or
operates multifamily properties. The ATLANTIC Protection of Business Agreement
does not prohibit Security Capital or its affiliates from owning the securities
of any class of ATLANTIC or PTR. The ATLANTIC Protection of Business Agreement
will terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or indirectly, (other
than by purchase from Security Capital or any of its affiliates), by any person
(or group of persons acting in concert), other than Security Capital or any of
its affiliates, of the greater of (i) 25% or more of the outstanding shares of
voting securities of ATLANTIC and (ii) the percentage of outstanding voting
securities of ATLANTIC owned directly or indirectly by Security Capital and its
affiliates, in either case without the prior written consent of the ATLANTIC
Board of Directors. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the ATLANTIC Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on the
third anniversary of the closing date of the Mergers.
 
ATLANTIC Development Agreements
ATLANTIC and certain affiliates of Hanover Realty Services Inc. ("Hanover") are
parties to several development agreements, in connection with the acquisition
and development of six properties located in North Carolina. In consideration
for Hanover's development of these properties, the development agreements
provide that ATLANTIC will make certain earnest payments to Hanover either in
the form of cash, shares of ATLANTIC's common stock or shares of Security
Capital's common stock, as determined in the sole discretion of Hanover. The
amount of such payments shall be determined on a per site basis and shall be a
percentage of the amount by which annualized net operating income exceeds the
total actual project costs. In February 1997, Hanover was paid $800,000 with
respect to one community. The aggregate amount of such earnout amounts for the
five remaining communities cannot exceed $5.8 million. Hanover was not entitled
to receive any earnout payment at February 28, 1997 on the five remaining
communities.

and Homestead entered into a merger agreement, pursuant to which each of
ATLANTIC, PTR and Security Capital agreed to contribute, through a series of
merger transactions, all of their respective assets relating to Homestead

certain funding commitment agreements. ATLANTIC's and PTR's respective
shareholders approved the Homestead transaction on September 13, 1996 and
September 12, 1996, respectively, and the closing of the Homestead transaction
occurred on October 17, 1996, which resulted in (i) ATLANTIC (a) owning

their respective shareholders pro rata in the Homestead transaction on November
12, 1996 to shareholders of record on October 29, 1996. Each holder of record
of a share of ATLANTIC's common stock received 0.110875 shares of Homestead
common stock and warrants to purchase 0.074384 shares of Homestead common stock
and each holder of record of a share of PTR's common shares received 0.125694

agreement with Homestead, dated as of October 17, 1996 (the "Homestead
Protection of Business Agreement"), which prohibits ATLANTIC, PTR and Security
Capital, and their respective affiliates, from engaging, directly or
indirectly, in the extended-stay lodging business except through Homestead and
its subsidiaries. The agreement also prohibits Homestead from, directly or
indirectly, engaging in the ownership, operation, development, management or
leasing of multifamily communities. The agreement does not prohibit ATLANTIC,
PTR or Security Capital from: (i) owning securities of Homestead; (ii) owning
up to 5% of the outstanding securities of another person engaged in owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties, so
long as it does not actively participate in the business of such person; (iii)
owning the outstanding securities of another person, a majority-owned
subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in
owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging
properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues
are derived from such properties; and (iv) owning securities of another person
primarily engaged in a business other than owning, operating, developing,
managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties, including a person
primarily engaged in business as an owner, operator or developer of hotel

leases extended-stay lodging properties. The agreement does not prohibit
Homestead from: (i) owning securities of ATLANTIC, PTR or Security Capital;
(ii) owning up to 5% of the outstanding securities of another person engaged in
owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing multifamily communities; and
(iii) owning the outstanding securities of another person, a majority-owned

from such properties. The agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly (other than by purchase from ATLANTIC, PTR
or Security Capital or any of their respective affiliates), by any person (or
group of associated persons acting in concert), other than ATLANTIC, PTR or
Security Capital or their respective affiliates, of 25% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of Homestead, without the prior written consent of
Homestead's Board of Directors. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Homestead Protection of Business Agreement will
terminate on October 17, 2006.
 
Homestead Investor Agreement
Homestead and Security Capital have entered into an investor agreement (the
"Homestead Investor Agreement"), dated as of October 17, 1996, which requires
Security Capital, upon notice from Homestead, to exercise all of the warrants
to purchase shares of Homestead common stock (at an exercise price of $10 per
share) owned by Security Capital. Homestead may call for the exercise of such
warrants by Security Capital upon 10 days' prior written notice. The Homestead
Investor Agreement, among other things, provides that, without having first
consulted with the nominee of Security Capital designated in writing, Homestead
may not seek Homestead Board of Directors' approval of (i) Homestead's annual
budget, (ii) the incurrence of expenses in any year exceeding (A) any line item
in the annual budget by 20% and (B) the total expenses set forth in the annual
budget by 5%, (iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single transaction or
group of related transactions where the aggregate purchase price paid or

investment management, property management or leasing services or (B) that
reasonably contemplates annual contract payments by Homestead in excess of
$200,000, (v) the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution,
(vi) the approval of stock
 
                                       56
<PAGE>
 
option plans, (vii) the offer or sale of any shares of stock of Homestead or
any securities convertible into shares of stock of Homestead (other than the
sale or grant of any stock or grants of options or exercise of options granted
under any benefit option plan approved by stockholders) and (viii) the
incurrence, restructuring, renegotiation or repayment of indebtedness for
borrowed money in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds $5 million. The
Homestead Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as Security Capital
owns at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Homestead's common stock,
Homestead may not increase the number of persons serving on the Homestead Board
of Directors to more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled to
designate one or more persons as directors of Homestead, as follows: (i) so
long as Security Capital owns at least 10% but less than 30% of the outstanding
shares of Homestead's common stock, it is entitled to nominate one person and
(ii) so long as Security Capital owns at least 30% of the outstanding shares of
Homestead's common stock, it is entitled to nominate that number of persons as
shall bear approximately the same ratio to the total number of members of the
Homestead Board of Directors as the number of shares of Homestead common stock
beneficially owned by Security Capital bears to the total number of outstanding
shares of Homestead common stock, provided that Security Capital shall be
entitled to designate no more than two persons so long as the Homestead Board
of Directors consists of no more than seven members. Any person who is employed
by Security Capital or who is an employee, a 25% shareholder or a director of
any corporation of which Security Capital is a 25% shareholder (except for
Homestead) shall be deemed to be a designee of Security Capital.
 
In addition, the Homestead Investor Agreement provides Security Capital with
registration rights pursuant to which, in certain specified circumstances,
Security Capital may request, at any time after October 22, 1997, and on not
more than three occasions, registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of all of the shares of Homestead's common stock owned by
Security Capital.
 
Homestead Escrow Agreement
Pursuant to an escrow agreement dated October 17, 1996 (the "Escrow Agreement")
among Homestead, Security Capital and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
"Escrow Agent"), a portion of the shares of Homestead common stock issuable to
Security Capital as part of the Homestead transaction described above was
placed in an escrow account maintained with the Escrow Agent. In general, as
PTR and ATLANTIC advance funds to Homestead in accordance with the terms of
their respective funding commitment agreements with Homestead, a portion of the
shares of Homestead's common stock in the escrow account will be released to
Security Capital, together with a proportionate amount of accrued dividends, if
any. On January 1, 2000, unless all of the shares of Homestead's common stock
placed in the escrow account have been released to Security Capital sooner in
accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will
release to Homestead all of the shares of Homestead's common stock remaining in
the escrow account. All dividends or other distributions paid by Homestead in
respect of the shares of Homestead's common stock held in the escrow account
shall be retained by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the party to whom the
related shares of Homestead's common stock are ultimately issued. The Escrow
Agent will vote all shares of Homestead's common stock held in the escrow
account proportionately in accordance with the vote of all other Homestead
shareholders as instructed by Homestead. In the event that instructions are not
received, the Escrow Agent will not vote such shares. Currently, 1,671,929
shares of Homestead common stock remain in the escrow account.
 
Homestead Administrative Services Agreement
Homestead has entered into an administrative services agreement with Security
Capital (the "Homestead Administrative Services Agreement"), pursuant to which
Security Capital, through SCGroup, provides Homestead with administrative
services with respect to certain aspects of Homestead's business. These
services include, but are not limited to, insurance administration, accounts
payable administration, internal audit, cash management, human resources,
management information systems, tax and legal administration, research,
shareholder communications and investor relations. The fees payable to Security
Capital are based on Security Capital's cost of the services provided plus an
additional 20%. Any arrangements under the Homestead Administrative Services
Agreement for the provision of services are required to be commercially
reasonable and on terms not less favorable than those which could be obtained
from unaffiliated third parties. The Homestead Administrative Services
Agreement expires on December 31, 1997 and is automatically renewed for
successive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Homestead Board of Directors of the annual
compensation payable to Security Capital for services rendered to Homestead.
Homestead paid fees of $375,000 to Security Capital for administrative services
provided in 1996.

PTR
 
Merger and Public Offerings
On December 6, 1994, PTR entered into a merger agreement with PACIFIC and
Security Capital, providing for the merger (the "PTR Merger") of PACIFIC with

the right to receive 0.611 PTR common shares. Security Capital was the
principal stockholder of PACIFIC prior to the PTR Merger, having owned
approximately 97.6% of PACIFIC's common stock outstanding at the time of the
PTR Merger. Security Capital's PACIFIC common stock was converted into
8,266,112 PTR common shares pursuant to the terms of the PTR Merger. In
addition, William D. Sanders, the Chairman of Security Capital, and William G.
Myers and John C. Schweitzer, both trustees of PTR, received 9,165, 9,165 and
7,637 PTR common shares, respectively, upon conversion of their PACIFIC common
stock pursuant to the terms of the PTR Merger. Upon consummation of the PTR
Merger, PTR changed its name from "Property Trust of America" to "Security
Capital Pacific Trust."
 
PTR REIT Management Agreement
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "PTR REIT Manager") is owned by
Security Capital. All officers of PTR are employees of the PTR REIT Manager and
PTR has no employees. Pursuant to a REIT management agreement (the "PTR REIT
Management Agreement"), the PTR REIT Manager provides both strategic and day-
to-day management to PTR, including research, investment analysis, acquisition
and development services, asset management, capital markets services,
disposition of assets and legal and accounting services. The PTR REIT
Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of $855,000 plus 16%
of cash flow (as defined in the PTR REIT Management Agreement) in excess of
$4,837,000. The PTR REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per year on the
average daily balance of cash equivalent investments. PTR is obligated to
reimburse the PTR REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred by the PTR REIT
Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, primarily including
third party legal, accounting and similar fees paid on behalf of PTR, and
travel expenses incurred in seeking financing, property acquisitions, property
sales, property development, attendance at trustee and shareholder meetings and
similar activities on behalf of PTR. The PTR REIT Management Agreement is
renewable by PTR annually, subject to a determination by the independent
trustees that the PTR REIT Manager's performance has been satisfactory and that
the compensation payable to the PTR REIT Manager is fair. Each of PTR and the
PTR REIT Manager may terminate the PTR REIT Management Agreement on 60 days'
notice. For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the PTR REIT Manager earned REIT management
fees totalling $22.2 million, $20.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively.
This agreement will be terminated upon the closing of the Mergers and all
employees of the PTR REIT Manager will become employees of PTR.
 
PTR Property Management
At March 31, 1997, SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), as
property manager for most of PTR's multifamily communities, managed
approximately 95.2% of PTR's operating multifamily units, with the balance in
various stages of transition to SCG Realty Services' management. Security
Capital owns SCG Realty Services. Rates for services performed by SCG Realty
Services are subject to annual approval by PTR's independent trustees (who
receive an annual review of fees paid for similar services from an independent
third party). During 1996, 1995 and 1994, PTR paid aggregate fees of $9.7
million, $7.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, to SCG Realty Services.

PTR Investor Agreement
Pursuant to various agreements, as amended, between PTR and Security Capital
(the "PTR Investor Agreement"), Security Capital is entitled to designate three
persons to be nominated for election to the PTR Board of Trustees. So long as
Security Capital beneficially owns at least 10% of PTR's common shares, PTR is
prohibited from increasing the number of members of the PTR Board of Trustees
to more than seven. Additionally, the PTR Investor Agreement, among other
things, requires PTR to obtain Security Capital's approval of (i) the annual
operating budget and substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts for
investment management, property management or leasing services or that
contemplate annual payments in excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions or
dispositions in a single transaction or a group of related transactions where
the purchase or sale price exceeds $5 million. The PTR Investor Agreement also
provides certain registration rights to Security Capital in respect of PTR's
common shares beneficially owned by Security Capital.
 
                                       58
<PAGE>
 
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will amend and restate
the PTR Investor Agreement such that it will be substantially similar to the
ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement described above except: (i) it will
restrict the ability of Security Capital (or a group of which it is a member)
from acquiring in excess of 49% of PTR's common shares subject to certain
exceptions and (ii) it will permit PTR to increase the size of the PTR Board of
Trustees to eight members.
 
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into an
administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide PTR with certain administrative and other services with respect to
certain aspects of PTR's business, as selected from time to time by PTR at its
option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to, payroll
and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable services,
data processing and other computer services, human resources, research,
investor relations, insurance administration and legal administration. The fees
payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security Capital's cost of
providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum amount of approximately
$7.7 million during the initial term of the agreement, of which approximately
$2.2 million will apply to the period between closing of the Mergers and
December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998. Cost savings under this
agreement will accrue to PTR. The agreement will be for an initial term
expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically renewed for consecutive
one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the independent members of
the PTR Board of Trustees.
 
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into a
license agreement (the "PTR License Agreement") pursuant to which Security
Capital will grant PTR a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's
registered logo and the non-exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital."
The term of the license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to PTR's
right to extend the license for up to two additional five-year periods. As part
of the PTR License Agreement, Security Capital will agree that, during the term
of the agreement, it will not exercise its rights under the PTR Declaration of
Trust to cause PTR to change its name.
 
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, PTR and Security Capital will enter into a
protection of business agreement (the "PTR Protection of Business Agreement"),
which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from providing,
anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly, substantially the
same services as those currently provided by the PTR REIT Manager and the PTR
Property Manager to any entity that owns or operates multifamily properties.
The PTR Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit Security Capital or
its affiliates from owning the securities of any class of PTR or ATLANTIC. The
PTR Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security
Capital or any of its affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting in
concert), other than Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the greater
of (i) 25% or more of the outstanding shares of voting securities of PTR and
(ii) the percentage of outstanding voting securities of PTR owned directly or
indirectly by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case without the
prior written consent of the PTR Board of Trustees. Subject to earlier
termination pursuant to the preceding sentence, the PTR Protection of Business
Agreement will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing date of the
Mergers.
 
PTR Development Services
PTR owns all of the preferred stock of PTR Development Services Incorporated
("PTR Development Services"), which entitles PTR to 95% of the net operating
cash flow of PTR Development Services. Security Capital owned all of the common
stock of PTR Development Services during 1995. Effective as of January 1, 1996,
Security Capital transferred such common stock to an unaffiliated trust. The
common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net operating cash
flow. During 1996, PTR made mortgage loans to PTR Development Services in an
aggregate amount of $18.8 million for the purchase of land for multifamily
development. Owning land through PTR Development Services provides greater
flexibility for the use of such land and the disposition of excess parcels. PTR
expects to make similar loans to PTR Development Services in 1997. The
aggregate amount of such loans will vary depending upon the volume of
development activity.
 
SCI
 
SCI REIT Management Agreement
Security Capital Industrial Incorporated (the "SCI REIT Manager") is owned by
Security Capital. All officers of SCI are employees of the SCI REIT Manager and
SCI has no employees. Pursuant to a REIT management
 
                                       59
<PAGE>
 
agreement (the "SCI REIT Management Agreement"), the SCI REIT Manager provides
both strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment analysis,
acquisition and due diligence, development, marketing, asset management,
capital markets, disposition of assets, management information systems support
and legal and accounting services. The SCI REIT Management Agreement requires
SCI to pay a base annual fee of approximately 16% of cash flow as defined in
the SCI REIT Management Agreement. The SCI REIT Manager also receives a fee of
0.20% per year on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments. SCI
is obligated to reimburse the SCI REIT Manager for all expenses incurred by the
SCI REIT Manager on behalf of SCI relating to SCI's operations, primarily
including third-party legal, accounting, property development and similar fees
paid on behalf of SCI, and travel expenses incurred in seeking financing,
property acquisitions, property sales, attendance at SCI Board of Trustees and
shareholder meetings and similar activities on behalf of SCI. The SCI REIT
Management Agreement is renewable annually by SCI, subject to a determination
by the independent trustees that the SCI REIT Manager's performance has been
satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the SCI REIT Manager is fair.
Each of SCI and the SCI REIT Manager may terminate the SCI REIT Management
Agreement on 60 days' notice. For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the SCI REIT Manager
earned REIT management fees of $21.5 million, $14.2 million and $8.7 million,
respectively, pursuant to the SCI REIT Management Agreement. This agreement
will be terminated upon the closing of the Mergers and all employees of the SCI
REIT Manager will become employees of SCI.
 
SCI Property Management
Commencing in January 1994, SCI Client Services Incorporated ("Client
Services"), an affiliate of the SCI REIT Manager, began providing property
management services for certain of SCI's properties. As of March 31, 1997
Client Services managed 92.7% of SCI's 82.7 million total operating square
feet. The agreement is subject to termination by SCI on 30 days' notice and by
Client Services on 60 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of
SCI's independent trustees, and contemplates a fee to Client Services of not
more than 3% per annum of property revenues, paid monthly, plus leasing
commissions and maintenance recovery fees consistent with industry practice,
which together were $11.8 million, $5.3 million and $1.7 million for 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively. Any management contracts executed with Client Services
are expected to be at or below market rates. This agreement will be terminated
upon the closing of the Mergers and all employees of Client Services will
become employees of SCI.
 
SCI Investor Agreement
SCI and Security Capital are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as of
November 18, 1993 (the "SCI Investor Agreement"), which required Security
Capital to invest a minimum of $75 million in SCI's common shares in SCI's
December 1993 private rights offering to shareholders, subject to certain
conditions. The SCI Investor Agreement, among other things, requires SCI to
obtain Security Capital's approval of (i) the annual operating budget and
substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts for investment management,
property management or leasing services or that contemplate annual payments in
excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single
transaction or a group of related transactions where the purchase or sale price
exceeds $5 million. The SCI Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as
Security Capital beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding SCI common
shares, SCI may not increase the size of its Board of Trustees to more than
seven members. Security Capital is entitled to designate one or more persons
for nomination to election as trustees, and SCI is obligated to use its best
efforts to cause the election of such persons, as follows: (i) so long as
Security Capital beneficially owns at least 10% but less than 20% of the
outstanding SCI common shares, it is entitled to designate two persons; and
(ii) so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 20% of the
outstanding SCI common shares, it is entitled to designate three persons. The
SCI Investor Agreement also provides certain registration rights to Security
Capital with respect to SCI's common shares beneficially owned by Security
Capital.
 
At of the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will amend and
restate the SCI Investor Agreement such that it will be substantially similar
to the ATLANTIC Amended Investor Agreement described above.
 
Administrative Services Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into an
administrative services agreement, pursuant to which Security Capital will
provide SCI with certain administrative and other services with respect to
certain aspects of SCI's business, as selected from time to time by SCI at its
option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to, payroll
and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable services,
data processing and other computer services, human resources, research,
investor relations, insurance administration and legal administration. The fees
payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security Capital's cost
 
                                       60
<PAGE>
 
of providing such services plus 20%, subject to a maximum amount of
approximately $7.1 million during the initial term of the agreement, of which
approximately $2.0 million will apply to the period between the closing of the
Mergers and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998. Cost
savings under this agreement will accrue to SCI. The agreement will be for an
initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and will be automatically renewed
for consecutive one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority of the
independent members of the SCI Board of Trustees.
 
License Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into a
license agreement (the "SCI License Agreement") pursuant to which Security
Capital will grant SCI a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's
registered logo and the non-exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital."
The term of the license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to SCI's
right to extend the license for up to two additional five-year periods. As part
of the SCI License Agreement, Security Capital will agree that during the term
of the agreement, it will not exercise its rights under the SCI Declaration of
Trust to cause SCI to change its name.
 
Protection of Business Agreement
At the closing of the Mergers, SCI and Security Capital will enter into a
protection of business agreement (the "SCI Protection of Business Agreement"),
which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from providing,
anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly, substantially the
same services as those currently provided by the SCI REIT Manager and the SCI
Property Manager to any entity that owns or operates distribution properties.
The SCI Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit Security Capital or
its affiliates from owning the securities of any class of SCI. The SCI
Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an acquisition,
directly or indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security Capital or any of
its affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting in concert), other
than Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the greater of (i) 25% or
more of the outstanding shares of voting securities of SCI and (ii) the
percentage of outstanding voting securities of SCI owned directly or indirectly
by Security Capital and its affiliates, in either case without the prior
written consent of the SCI Board of Trustees. Subject to earlier termination
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the SCI Protection of Business Agreement
will terminate on the third anniversary of the closing date of the Mergers.
 
SCI Development Services
To better serve national companies which are valued SCI customers and enable
SCI to exclusively meet all of their distribution space needs, SCI Development
Services Incorporated ("SCI Development Services") develops for these customers
build-to-suit distribution space facilities which do not meet SCI's strict
investment criteria. SCI will not own these buildings but owns a preferred
stock interest representing 95% of the net operating cash flow of SCI
Development Services. Security Capital owned all of the common stock of SCI
Development Services during 1995. Effective as of January 1, 1996, Security
Capital transferred such common stock to an unaffiliated trust. The common
stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net operating cash flow.
Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will realize substantially all
economic benefits of SCI Development Services' activities. Under a separate
agreement, the SCI REIT Manager provides SCI Development Services with day-to-
day management services for a fee based on 16% of SCI Development Services'
pre-tax cash flow plus .20% of the average daily balance of cash equivalent
investments, including gains and losses realized on property sales. The fee
incurred for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $1.3 million, $700,000 and
$20,000, respectively. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI earned $1.1 million,
$1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in interest income and had $2.7
million, $1.9 million and $17,000, respectively, in accrued interest receivable
from SCI Development Services. As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI had
outstanding $162 million, $31.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of
mortgage loans to SCI Development Services for development and acquisition of
distribution facilities. SCI expects to make similar loans to SCI Development
Services in 1997, however, SCI is unable to quantify the amount of such loans.
 
SECURITY CAPITAL USREALTY
 
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 7, 1995 (the "Advisory Agreement"),
Security Capital USREALTY appointed Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.

USREALTY and Security Capital Holdings S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Security Capital USREALTY ("USREALTY Holdings"), acting together, on the other
hand, give sixty days' prior written notice that the Advisory Agreement will
not be renewed; provided, however, after the first anniversary date of the
agreement or the first anniversary date of any renewal date, both Security
Capital USREALTY and USREALTY Holdings, acting together, may terminate the
agreement on not less than sixty days' prior written notice to the USREALTY
Adviser. During 1996 and 1995, the USREALTY Adviser received fees of $8.0
million and $99,000, respectively, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.
 
Sub-Advisory Agreements
Pursuant to an agreement dated July 7, 1995 (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement"), the

USREALTY Advisor entered into a separate agreement (together with the Sub-
Advisory Agreement, the "Sub-Advisory Agreements") with Security Capital
Investment Research Group Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security
Capital Investment Research ("Security Capital Investment Research Group") and
a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
amended, with respect to its analysis, advice and research in relation to
intermediate term investments in real estate operating companies. Pursuant to
its Sub-Advisory Agreements, Security Capital Investment Research receives (i)
an annual fee based on .06% on strategic investments up to $1 billion and .03%
on strategic investments in excess of $1 billion, (ii) a one time fee equal to
 .10% of the consideration payable each time Security Capital USREALTY makes a
strategic investment and (iii) reimbursement of certain expenses, and pursuant
to its Sub-Advisory Agreement, Security Capital Investment Research Group
receives an annual fee equal to .50% on Security Capital USREALTY's other
investments and reimbursement of certain expenses. The Sub-Advisory Agreements
expire on July 7, 1997 and are automatically renewable for successive two-year
periods unless the USREALTY Adviser notifies Security Capital Investment
Research or Security Capital Investment Research Group that either Sub-Advisory
Agreement will not be renewed; provided, however, after the first anniversary
date of the agreements or at any time during a renewal period, the USREALTY
Adviser may terminate either agreement on not less than sixty days' prior
written notice to Security Capital Investment Research or Security Capital
Investment Research Group. During 1996 and 1995, Security Capital Investment
Research earned $1.6 million and $60,000, respectively, pursuant to the Sub-
Advisory Agreement.

for Security Capital securities prior to repayment of the secured promissory
note, any securities obtained upon exercise of such options shall become
subject to the pledge agreement and the net proceeds (after payment of minimum
withholding taxes) of any securities obtained upon exercise of such options and
disposed of by Mr. Wattles shall be immediately applied to the outstanding and
unpaid interest and principal on the secured promissory note.
 
As of April 24, 1997, Security Capital and William D. Sanders, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Security Capital, entered into an agreement (the
"Sanders Agreement") under which Security Capital agreed to acquire all the
shares of a corporation owned by Mr. Sanders in exchange for 19,938 Class A
Shares, providing Mr. Sanders increased direct ownership in the Company. The
corporation's sole assets are warrants and options issued to Mr. Sanders
between 1991 and 1993 to purchase an aggregate of 16,143 Class A Shares and
$8,047,303 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into an
aggregate of 7,693 Class A Shares), or a total of 23,836 Class A Shares, with
an aggregate exercise price of approximately $11.3 million. All the options and
warrants are fully vested and expire in 2002. The Company and Mr. Sanders
agreed to use the average net asset value of the Class A Shares between April 1
and April 21, 1997 of $1,205 per share in determining the value of the 23,836
Class A Shares, which was approximately $28.7 million. The Sanders Agreement
was entered into as an alternative to Mr. Sanders funding the exercise of the
options and warrants with Class A Shares owned by Mr. Sanders, which was
rejected by the Company. Under the Sanders Agreement, the Company issued $17.4
million of Class A Shares which is equal to the difference between the total
value of the shares issuable ($28.7 million), and the total exercise price
($11.3 million) for the options and warrants. As additional consideration in
the transaction, the Company issued $6.6 million of Class A Shares for the
value of the holder's ability to defer exercising the warrants and options
until 2002 in accordance with their terms. As a result, the Company agreed to
issue 19,938 Class A Shares with an aggregate value of $24 million. The
transaction will result in a non-cash, non-recurring charge to earnings of the
Company in 1997 of approximately $6.6 million.
 
  On April 24, 1997, SCI, through an affiliate of SCI, acquired the
refrigerated warehouse and distribution operations of Christian Salvesen, Inc.
and related companies located in the United States and Canada for $122.4
million. The acquired companies were subsequently transferred to a new entity,
CS Integrated LLC ("CSI"), which is 60% owned by an affiliate of SCI and 40%
owned by an affiliate of Hunt Financial Corporation. SCI's affiliate paid
approximately $73.4 million for its interest in CSI and the affiliate of Hunt
Financial Corporation paid approximately $49.0 million for its interest in CSI.
Under the terms of its agreement with Hunt Financial Corporation's affiliate,
SCI's affiliate has the option to increase its ownership interest in CSI to 80%
as SCI's affiliate invests additional capital. Hunt Financial Corporation is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Hunt Consolidated Inc., which is part of the Hunt
family interests headed by Ray L. Hunt, who is a director of Security Capital.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
GENERAL
 
The authorized capital stock of Security Capital consists of 250,000,000
shares, consisting of 20,000,000 Class A Shares, 229,861,000 Class B Shares and
139,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Board may, by articles
supplementary, classify or reclassify any unissued shares of stock from time to
time by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting
powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions,
qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of such stock. No holder of
any class of capital stock of Security Capital will have any preemptive right
to subscribe for any securities of Security Capital except as may be granted by
the Board pursuant to an agreement between Security Capital and a shareholder.
Under Maryland law, shareholders are generally not liable for Security
Capital's debts or obligations. For a description of certain provisions that
could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control,
see "Risk Factors--Limitations on Acquisition of Shares and Change in Control,"
and "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of Security Capital's Charter and
Bylaws."
 
The transfer agent and registrar for the Shares is The First National Bank of
Boston, 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
The holders of outstanding Class A Shares are entitled to one vote, and the
holders of outstanding Class B Shares are entitled to one two-hundredth
(1/200th) of a vote, for each share held of record on all matters submitted to
a vote of shareholders. Unless otherwise required by Maryland law, the Class A
Shares and the Class B Shares will vote as a single class with respect to all
matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of Security Capital, including the
election of directors. Shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their
votes in the election of directors, which means that, the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Class A Shares can elect all of the directors then standing
for election.
 
Commencing January 1, 1998, each Class A Share may be converted into 50 Class B
Shares at the holder's option at any time. Class B Shares are not convertible
into Class A Shares or any other security.
 
Holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may
be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of
Class B Shares are entitled to dividends equal to one-fiftieth (1/50th) of the
amount per share declared by the Board for each Class A Share. Dividends with
respect to the Class B Shares will be paid in the same form and at the same
time as dividends with respect to the Class A Shares, except that, in the event
of a stock split or stock dividend, holders of Class A Shares will receive
Class A Shares and holders of Class B Shares will receive Class B Shares,
unless otherwise specifically designated by resolution of the Board. Security
Capital has no present intention to pay a dividend on Class B Shares or Class A
Shares (which would necessitate a one-fiftieth (1/50th) equivalent dividend on
Class B Shares) in the future.
 
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Security Capital,
holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares are entitled to share ratably in
all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, with holders of Class B
Shares entitled to receive per share one-fiftieth (1/50th) of any amount per
share received by holders of Class A Shares. Neither holders of Class A Shares
or Class B Shares shall have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional
shares of either class. All outstanding Class A Shares are, and all Class B
Shares to be outstanding upon completion of the Offering will be, fully paid
and non-assessable.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
The Board is empowered by the Charter, without the approval of shareholders, to
cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in one or more series and to
determine, among other things, the number of preferred shares of each series
and the rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series which may be
senior to the rights of Shares. The issuance of preferred stock could have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Security
Capital and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of shareholders.
Upon completion of the Offering and except for the Series A Preferred Stock
described below, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding and Security
Capital has no present plans to issue any preferred stock following completion
of the Offering other than as contemplated by the Rights Agreement (as defined
below).
 
                                       68

Security Capital currently has outstanding 139,000 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. Generally, the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive quarterly
cumulative cash dividends in an annual amount equal to $75 per share. The
Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive $1,000 per share, plus an
amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Security Capital before any distribution could be
made to holders of Class A Shares or Class B Shares. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder, into 0.76184 Class
A Shares, subject to customary adjustments to prevent dilution. In the event
that a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock would be prohibited under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, from owning securities
constituting or convertible into 5% or more of the outstanding Class A Shares,
then the conversion rights of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock by such
holder shall be modified as follows: (i) the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock held by such holder which may then be converted by such holder
without resulting in such holder owning 5% or more of the Class A Shares
outstanding after such conversion shall be convertible into Class A Shares; and
(ii) any shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder in excess of
the number of shares which may then be converted as described in clause (i)
will not be convertible into Class A Shares until such time as (and only to the
extent that) (A) such shares may be converted without resulting in such holder
owning 5% or more of the Class A Shares outstanding after such conversion or
(B) such shares are held by a person not prohibited from owning securities
constituting or convertible into 5% or more of Class A Shares as described
above.
The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable before March 29, 1999. On and
after such date, the Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in
part, at the option of Security Capital upon not less than 30 days' notice, in
cash at $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. The vote or
consent of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock is necessary (i) to
amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Articles Supplementary governing
the Series A Preferred Stock in a manner which materially and adversely affects
the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock or
(ii) to authorize, reclassify, create or increase the authorized amount of any
stock of any class (or any security convertible into stock of any class)
ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets on
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Security Capital or in the
payment of dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per
Class A Share into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible,
voting together with the Class A Shares, on any of the following matters if the
Class A Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (i) an amendment, alteration or
repeal of any of the provisions of the Charter, (ii) a consolidation or merger
of Security Capital with or into another entity or of another entity with or
into Security Capital, (iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
Security Capital's assets or (iv) the voluntary liquidation or dissolution of
Security Capital. Also, the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one-half
vote per Class A Share into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then
convertible, voting together with the Class A Shares, on any other matter
submitted to a vote of Security Capital's shareholders.
 
PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
On April 21, 1997, the Board declared a dividend of one Purchase Right for each
Share outstanding at the close of business on April 21, 1997 (the "Rights
Record Date") to the holders of Shares of record as of the Rights Record Date.
The dividend was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional
Shares issued after the Rights Record Date and before the redemption or
expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one Shareholder
Purchase Right for each such additional Share. Each Purchase Right entitles the
registered holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase from Security
Capital, in the event the underlying share is a Class A Share, one one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share of Security Capital at a price of
$6,000 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. In the event the underlying share is a Class B
Share, the Purchase Right entitles the registered holder under certain
circumstances to purchase from Security Capital one five-thousandth of a
Participating Preferred Share of Security Capital at a price of $120 per one
five-thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share. The description and terms
of the Purchase Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of April
21, 1997 between Security Capital and The First National Bank of Boston, as
rights agent (the "Rights Agreement").
 
The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earlier to occur of: (1) 10 days following a public
announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons, other
than Security Capital USREALTY and certain affiliates of Security Capital, has
acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting power of the voting
equity securities of Security Capital (thereby becoming an "Acquiring Person")
or (2) 15 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of
the Board prior
 
                                       69
<PAGE>
 
to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an Acquiring
Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make,
a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the
beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons of 25% or more of the
voting power of the voting equity securities of Security Capital (the first to
occur of such dates being called the "Rights Distribution Date"). With respect
to any of the Class A Share or Class B Share certificates outstanding as of the
Rights Record Date, until the Rights Distribution Date the Purchase Rights will
be evidenced by such certificate. Until the Rights Distribution Date (or
earlier redemption or expiration of the Purchase Rights), new certificates
issued after the Rights Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Class A
Shares or Class B Shares will contain a notation incorporating the Rights
Agreement by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board in good
faith determines that a person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person under
the Rights Agreement has become such inadvertently, and such person divests as
promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares
so that such person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then such person
shall not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights
Agreement.
 
The Purchase Rights will expire on April 21, 2007 (the "Final Expiration
Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged by Security Capital, in each case as described
below.
 
The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Participating Preferred Shares or
other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Purchase Rights are
subject to adjustment under certain circumstances from time to time to prevent
dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price will be
required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% in
such Purchase Price.
 
Participating Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Purchase Rights
will not be redeemable. Each Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to
a minimum preferential quarterly distribution payment of $1 per share but will
be entitled to an aggregate distribution of 100 times the distribution declared
per Class A Share, or if no Class A Shares are outstanding, 2 times the
distribution declared per Class B Share. Each Participating Preferred Share
will have 100 votes, voting together with the Shares. In the event of
liquidation, the holders of the Participating Preferred Shares will be entitled
to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $1 per share but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the payment made per Class A
Share, or if no Class A Shares are outstanding, 2 times the payment made per
Class B Share. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction
in which Class A Shares or Class B Shares are exchanged, each Participating
Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount received per
Class A Share or Class B Share, as the case may be. In the event of issuance of
Participating Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Purchase Rights, in order
to facilitate trading, a depositary receipt may be issued for each one one-
hundredth or one five-thousandth of a Participating Preferred Share. The
Purchase Rights will be protected by customary antidilution provisions.
 
In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as
the case may be, having a market value (determined in accordance with the
Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase Price. In lieu of the issuance of Class
A Shares or Class B Shares, as the case may be, upon exercise of Purchase
Rights, the Board may under certain circumstances, and if there is an
insufficient number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as the case may be,
authorized but unissued or held as treasury Shares to permit the exercise in
full of the Purchase Rights, the Board is required to, take such action as may
be necessary to cause Security Capital to issue or pay upon the exercise of
Purchase Rights, cash (including by way of a reduction of purchase price),
property, other securities or any combination of the foregoing having an
aggregate value equal to that of the Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as the
case may be, which otherwise would have been issuable upon the exercise of
Purchase Rights.
 
In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
Security Capital is acquired in a merger or other business combination
transaction of 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are
sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right
will thereafter have the right to receive, upon
the exercise thereof at the then current Purchase Price, a number of shares of
common stock of the acquiring company having a market value (determined in
accordance with the Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase Price.
 
                                       70
<PAGE>
 
At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to
the acquisition by that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding Class
A Shares or Class B Shares, the Board may exchange the Purchase Rights (other
than Purchase Rights owned by that person or group which will have become
void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Class A Share or Class
B Share, as the case may be (or one one-hundredth or one five-thousandth of a
Participating Preferred Share as the case may be), per Purchase Right (subject
to adjustment).
 
As soon as practicable after a Rights Distribution Date, Security Capital is
obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to the securities issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable.
 
At any time prior to the time a person or group of persons becomes an Acquiring
Person, the Board may redeem the Purchase Rights in whole, but not in part, at
a price of $.01 per Purchase Right (the "Redemption Price") payable in cash,
Shares or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate by the Board. The
redemption of the Purchase Rights may be made effective at such time, on such
basis and with such conditions as the Board in its sole discretion may
establish. Immediately upon the effectiveness of any redemption of the Purchase
Rights, the right to exercise the Purchase Rights will terminate and the only
right of the holders of Purchase Rights will be to receive the Redemption
Price.
 
The terms of the Purchase Rights may be amended by the Board without the
consent of the holders of the Purchase Rights, except that from and after the
time any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the interests of the
holders of the Purchase Rights and in no event shall any such amendment change
the 20% threshold at which a person acquiring beneficial ownership of Class A
Shares or Class B Shares becomes an Acquiring Person.
 
The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Purchase Rights
will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
Security Capital on terms not approved by its Board, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired.
The Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business
combination approved by the Board since the Purchase Rights may be redeemed by
Security Capital at the Redemption Price prior to the time that a person or
group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting power of
the voting equity securities of Security Capital. The form of Rights Agreement
specifying the terms of the Purchase Rights has been incorporated by reference
into the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and is
incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase
Rights does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement, including the definitions
therein of certain terms.
 
RESTRICTION ON SIZE OF HOLDINGS OF SHARES
 
The Charter contains certain restrictions on the number of Shares that
individual shareholders may own. For the operating companies to qualify as
REITs under the Code, no more than 50% of the value of their shares (after
taking into account options to acquire shares) may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities and constructive ownership among specified family members)
during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first taxable year), by
100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a
proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Because certain of the operating
companies are REITs, their respective charters and Security Capital's Charter
contain restrictions on the acquisition of shares intended to ensure compliance
with these requirements.
 
Subject to certain exceptions specified in the Charter, no holder may own, or
be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than
9.8% (the "Ownership Limit") of the number or value of the issued and
outstanding shares of Security Capital's stock. The Board, upon receipt of a
ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or an opinion of
counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Board and upon such other
conditions as the Board may direct, may also exempt a proposed transferee from
the Ownership Limit. As a condition of such exemption, the proposed transferee
must give written notice to Security Capital of the proposed transfer no later
than the fifteenth day prior to any transfer which, if consummated, would
result in the intended transferee owning shares of Security Capital's stock in
excess of the Ownership Limit. The Board may require such opinions of counsel,
affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in
order to determine or ensure the operating companies' status as REITs. Any
transfer of Shares that would (i) create a direct or indirect ownership of
shares of Security Capital's stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or (ii)
result in a
 
                                       71
<PAGE>
 
Security Capital investee being "closely held" within the meaning of Section
856(h) of the Code, shall be null and void ab initio, and the intended
transferee will acquire no rights to the shares of Security Capital's stock.
The foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if
the Board determines, which determination must be approved by the shareholders,
that it is no longer in the best interests of Security Capital to attempt to,
or to continue to, assist Security Capital's operating companies in qualifying
as REITs. The Charter excludes Security Capital USREALTY (and its transferees)
from the Ownership Limit.
 
Any shares of Security Capital's stock, the purported transfer of which would
result in a person owning Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit or cause any
or all of the operating companies to become "closely held" under Section 856(h)
of the Code, that is not otherwise permitted as provided above will constitute
excess shares ("Excess Shares"), which will be transferred pursuant to the
Charter to a party not affiliated with Security Capital designated by Security
Capital as the trustee of a trust for the exclusive benefit of an organization
or organizations described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A) and 170(c) of the Code and
identified by the Board as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the trust (the
"Charitable Beneficiary"), until such time as the Excess Shares are transferred
to a person whose ownership will not violate the restrictions on ownership.
While these Excess Shares are held in trust, they will be entitled to share in
any distributions which will be paid to the trust for the benefit of the
Charitable Beneficiary and may only be voted by the trustee for the benefit of
the Charitable Beneficiary. Subject to the Ownership Limit, the Excess Shares
shall be transferred by the trustee at the direction of Security Capital to any
person (if the Excess Shares would not be Excess Shares in the hands of such
person). The purported transferee will receive the lesser of (i) the price paid
by the purported transferee for the Excess Shares (or, if no consideration was
paid, fair market value on the day of the event causing the Excess Shares to be
held in trust) and (ii) the price received from the sale or other disposition
of the Excess Shares held in trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount
payable to the purported transferee will be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.
In addition, such Excess Shares held in trust are subject to purchase by
Security Capital for a 90-day period at a purchase price equal to the lesser of
(i) the price paid for the Excess Shares by the purported transferee (or, if no
consideration was paid, fair market value at the time of the event causing the
Shares to be held in trust) and (ii) the fair market value of the Excess Shares
on the date Security Capital elects to purchase. Fair market value, for these
purposes, means the last reported sales price reported on the NYSE on the
trading day immediately preceding the relevant date, or if not then traded on
the NYSE, the last reported sales price on the trading day immediately
preceding the relevant date as reported on any exchange or quotation system
over or through which the relevant class of shares of stock may be traded, or
if not then traded over or through any exchange or quotation system, then the
market price on the relevant date as determined in good faith by the Board.
 
From and after the purported transfer to the purported transferee of the Excess
Shares, the purported transferee shall cease to be entitled to distributions,
voting rights and other benefits with respect to the Excess Shares except the
right to payment on the transfer of the Excess Shares as described above. Any
distribution paid to a purported transferee on Excess Shares prior to the
discovery by Security Capital that such Excess Shares have been transferred in
violation of the provisions of the Charter shall be repaid, upon demand, to
Security Capital, which shall pay any such amounts to the trust for the benefit
of the Charitable Beneficiary. If the foregoing transfer restrictions are
determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, then the purported transferee of any Excess Shares may be deemed,
at the option of Security Capital, to have acted as an agent on behalf of
Security Capital in acquiring such Excess Shares and to hold such Excess Shares
on behalf of Security Capital.
 
All certificates representing Shares will bear a legend referring to the
restrictions described above.
 
Each shareholder shall upon demand be required to disclose to Security Capital
in writing such information with respect to the direct, indirect and
constructive ownership of Shares as the Board deems reasonably necessary to
assist its operating companies in complying with the provisions of the Code
applicable to REITs, to determine Security Capital's operating companies status
as REITs, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or
governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
 
These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or
other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the Shares might
receive a premium for their Shares over the then prevailing market price or
which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest.

 CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF SECURITY CAPITAL'SCHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and the
Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject
to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and the Charter
and Bylaws for complete information.
 
CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD
 
The Bylaws provide that the number of directors may be established by the Board
but may not be fewer than three nor more than fifteen. Any vacancy will be
filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that
purpose, by a majority of the remaining directors, except that a vacancy
resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be filled by a
majority of the entire Board. Pursuant to the terms of the Charter, the
directors are divided into three classes. One class holds office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998, another
class holds office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to
be held in 1999 and another class holds office for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class
expires, directors in that class will be elected for a term of three years and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify. Security Capital believes
that classification of the Board will help to assure the continuity and
stability of Security Capital's business strategies and policies as determined
by the Board.
 
The classified director provision could have the effect of making the removal
of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult, which could
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of Security Capital, even though such an attempt might be
beneficial to Security Capital and its shareholders. At least two annual
meetings of shareholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect
a change in a majority of the Board. Thus, the classified board provision could
increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions.
 
DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Charter contains
such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law.
 
The Bylaws provide that Security Capital will, to the maximum extent permitted
by Maryland law in effect from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any
individual who is a present or former director or officer of Security Capital
or (b) any individual who, while a director of Security Capital and at the
request of Security Capital, serves or has served another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other
enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
Security Capital has the power with the approval of the Board, to provide such
indemnification and advancement of expenses to a person who has served a
predecessor of Security Capital in any of the capacities described in (a) or
(b) above and to any employee or agent of Security Capital or its predecessors.
 
Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter requires otherwise,
which the Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to
which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation. Maryland law permits Security Capital to
advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon Security Capital's
receipt of (a) a
 
                                       73
<PAGE>
 
written affirmation by the director of officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by
Security Capital as authorized by the Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or
on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Security Capital
if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
Additionally, Security Capital has entered into indemnity agreements with each
of its officers and directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses
and liabilities of such officer or director, arising out of any lawsuit or
claim against such officer or director due to the fact that he or she was or is
serving as an officer or director, except for such liabilities and expenses (a)
the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating to
claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating to judicially
determined criminal violations.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Security Capital
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Security Capital has been informed that
in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
Under Maryland law, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
thereof are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the
Interested Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder. Thereafter, any such
business combination must be recommended by the Board of such corporation and
approved by the affirmative vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to
be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (b) two-
thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares
of the corporation other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder with
whom the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things,
the corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined under
Maryland law) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in
the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its shares.
These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business
combinations that are approved or exempted by the Board of the corporation
prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder.
 
Security Capital's Charter exempts from these provisions of Maryland law any
business combination with Security Capital USREALTY and its affiliates and
successors. As a result, Security Capital USREALTY and its affiliates and
successors may be able to enter into business combinations with Security
Capital that may not be in the best interests of its stockholders without
compliance by Security Capital with the super majority vote requirements and
other provisions of the statute.
 
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation acquired
in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the extent
approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-
third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority of
all voting power. Control Shares do not include shares the acquiring person is
then entitled to vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder
approval. A "Control Share acquisition" means the acquisition of Control
Shares, subject to certain exceptions.
 
A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the Board to call a special meeting of stockholders to be held
within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares. If no
request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the question
at any stockholders meeting.
 
 
                                       74
<PAGE>
 
If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem
any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights have
previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the
absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the last
Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting
rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for
Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes
entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.
 
The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.
 
Security Capital's Bylaws contain a provision exempting Security Capital
USREALTY and its affiliates and successors from the provisions of the Control
Share acquisition statute.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS
 
For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a stockholder, the Bylaws require such shareholder
to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less
than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the
shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all
information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in
solicitations of proxies for the election of directors, pursuant to Regulation
14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) as to any other business that the shareholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name
and address of such shareholder as they appear on Security Capital's books, and
of such beneficial owner and (y) the number of Shares which are owned
beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, if
any.
 
                        SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
At March 31, 1997, Security Capital had 1,301,010 Class A Shares issued and
outstanding, which will be convertible beginning January 1, 1998 into a total
of 65,050,500 Class B Shares. In addition, Security Capital has 139,000 Series
A Preferred Shares outstanding, convertible into a maximum of 105,896 Class A
Shares. Security Capital also has outstanding (i) approximately $714 million
principal amount of its 2014 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an
aggregate of 682,293 Class A Shares, (ii) approximately $323 million principal
amount of its 2016 Convertible Debentures, convertible into an aggregate of
279,950 Class A Shares, (iii) warrants to purchase 40,241 Class A Shares and
$30,483,000 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into
29,142 Class A Shares), and (iv) options to purchase 138,521 Class A Shares and
$55,575,000 principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into
53,168 Class A Shares) reserved for issuance upon exercise of options under
Security Capital's employee benefit plans. All such Class A Shares, except
those held by affiliates, and the Class B Shares into which they may be
converted, may be sold in the public market in the future pursuant to
registration rights or available exemptions from registration. In addition,
after consummation of the Mergers, Security Capital is expected to have
outstanding Warrants to purchase a total of $250 million of Class B Shares
(based on the price of the Class B Shares on a date to be established following
completion of the Offering). To the extent such Warrants are exercised, the
Class B Shares may be sold in the public markets without limitation. No
prediction can be made regarding the effect of future sales of Class B Shares
on the market prices of Class B Shares.
 
All of the Class B Shares to be issued or sold by Security Capital in the
Offering, other than any Class B Shares purchased by affiliates, will be
tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act. The Class A Shares
currently issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options or warrants or conversion of debentures
 
                                       75
<PAGE>
 
will be eligible for sale, subject to the volume resale, manner of sale and
notice limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In general, under Rule
144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated in accordance with the
Rule) who has beneficially owned his or her shares for at least one year,
including any such persons who may be deemed "affiliates" of Security Capital
(as defined in the Securities Act), would be entitled to sell within any three-
month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the
then outstanding number of shares or the average weekly trading volume of the
shares during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale. After shares
are held for two years, a person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of Security
Capital is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the
volume limitations described above. Sales of shares by affiliates will continue
to be subject to the volume limitations. As defined in Rule 144, an "affiliate"
of an issuer is a person that directly or indirectly, through the use of one or
more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with, such issuer.
 
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of Shares
or the availability of Shares for future sale will have on the market price
prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares (including
Shares issued upon the exercise of options or warrants or conversion of
Convertible Debentures and Series A Preferred Stock), or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of
the Shares.
 
For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of Shares by Security
Capital (and certain of its directors, officers and affiliates), see
"Underwriting."
 
                CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
                     FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF CLASS B SHARES
 
The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal tax consequences
of the ownership and disposition of Class B Shares by a beneficial owner of
such shares that is not a U.S. person (a "non-U.S. holder"). For purposes of
this discussion, a "U.S. person" means a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation or partnership created or organized in the United States
or under the law of the United States or of any State or political subdivision
of the foregoing, any estate whose income is includible in gross income for
U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or a "United States
Trust." A United States Trust is (a) for taxable years beginning after December
31, 1996, or if the trustee of a trust elects to apply the following definition
to an earlier taxable year, any trust if, and only if, (i) a court within the
United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration
of the trust and (ii) one or more U.S. fiduciaries have the authority to
control all substantial decisions of the trust, and (b) for all other taxable
years, any trust whose income is includible in gross income for United States
Federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. This discussion does not
deal with 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 state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations. Furthermore, the
following discussion is based on provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations as of
the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. Treasury Regulations were recently proposed that would, if adopted in
their present form, revise in certain respects the rules applicable to non-U.S.
holders of Class B Shares (the "Proposed Regulations"). The Proposed
Regulations are generally proposed to be effective with respect to payments
made after December 31, 1997. It is not certain whether, or in what form, the
Proposed Regulations will be adopted as final regulations. Each prospective
investor is urged to consult its own tax adviser with respect to the particular
U.S. federal, state and local consequences to it of owning and disposing of
Class B Shares, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any
other taxing jurisdiction.
 
U.S. INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
Although Security Capital does not currently intend to pay dividends on either
its Class A Shares or Class B Shares, dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder are
subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the
dividend or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate, unless the dividend is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States by a non-U.S. holder (and, if certain tax treaties apply, is
attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-
U.S. holder) and a Form 4224 stating that the dividends are so connected is
filed with Security Capital. A dividend that is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States by a non-U.S. holder (and,
if certain tax treaties apply, is attributable to a
 
                                       76
<PAGE>
 
United States permanent establishment maintained by such non-U.S. holder) will
be exempt from the withholding tax described above and subject instead (i) to
the U.S. federal income tax on net income that applies to U.S. persons and (ii)
with respect to corporate holders under certain circumstances, a 30% (or, if
applicable, lower treaty rate) branch profits tax that in general is imposed on
its "effectively connected earnings and profits" (within the meaning of the
Code) for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items.
 
Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid to an address in a foreign
country are presumed to be paid to a resident of that country (unless the payor
has knowledge to the contrary) for purposes of the withholding discussed above
and, under the current interpretation of the Treasury Regulations, for purposes
of determining the applicability of a tax treaty rate. Under the Proposed
Regulations, however, a non-U.S. holder of Class B Shares who wishes to claim
the benefit of an applicable treaty rate would be required to satisfy
applicable certification and other requirements. In the case of a foreign
partnership, the certification requirement would generally be applied to the
partners of the partnership. In addition, the Proposed Regulations would also
require the partnership to provide certain information, including a United
States taxpayer identification number, and would provide look-through rules for
tiered partnerships. A non-U.S. holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of
U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of
any excess amount withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the
IRS.
 
Under current law, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S.
federal income tax on any gain recognized on a sale or other disposition of a
Class B Share unless (i) subject to the exception discussed in the paragraph
below Security Capital is or has been at any time within the shorter of the
five-year period preceding such disposition or such holder's holding period a
"United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, (ii) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States of the non-U.S. holder (and, if certain tax
treaties apply, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment
maintained by the non-U.S. holder), (iii) the gain is not described in clause
(ii) above, the non-U.S. holder is an individual who holds the share as a
capital asset, is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the
taxable year of the disposition and the gain is attributable to an office or
other fixed place of business maintained in the United States by such
individual, or (iv) the non-U.S. holder is subject to tax pursuant to the Code
provisions applicable to certain U.S. expatriates. In the case of a non-U.S.
holder that is described under clause (ii) above, its gain will be subject to
the U.S. federal income tax on net income that applies to U.S. persons and, in
addition, if such non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may be subject
to the branch profits tax as described in the second preceding paragraph. An
individual non-U.S. holder that is described under clause (iii) above will be
subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be
offset by capital losses which are treated as U.S. source (notwithstanding the
fact that he or she is not considered a resident of the United States).
 
Security Capital believes that it currently is not a "United States real
property holding corporation." In general, if Security Capital were treated as
or were to become a "United States real property holding corporation" under the
Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act ("FIRPTA"), a non-U.S. holder of
Class B Shares deemed to own more than 5% of the Class B Shares would be
subject to United States federal income tax on a sale or other disposition of
such Class B Shares, and a non-U.S. holder that is not deemed to own more than
5% of the Class B Shares would not be subject to United States federal income
tax on gain on a sale or other disposition of such shares provided that such
shares are "regularly traded on an established securities market" (within the
meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code and the temporary regulations issued
pursuant thereto). Additionally if the Class B Shares are not "regularly traded
on an established securities market" a non-U.S. holder of such shares would be
subject to a United States withholding tax equal to 10% of the amount realized
on a disposition of such shares. There is no assurance that Security Capital is
not currently or will not become a "United States real property holding
corporation."
 
Class B Shares owned or treated as owned by an individual who is not a citizen
or resident (as specially defined for United States federal income tax
purposes) of the United States at the date of death, or Class B Shares subject
to certain lifetime transfers made by such an individual, will be included in
such individual's estate for United States federal estate tax, unless an
applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
 
Dividends
Except as provided below, Security Capital must report annually to the IRS and
to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to and the tax withheld
with respect to such holder. These information reporting requirements apply
regardless of whether withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable
tax treaty. Copies of these information returns may also be available under the
provisions of a specific treaty or agreement with the tax authorities in the
country in which the non-U.S. holder resides. In general, backup withholding at
a rate of 31% and additional information reporting will apply to dividends paid
on Class B Shares to holders that are not "exempt recipients" and that fail to
provide in the manner required certain identifying information (such as the
holder's name, address and taxpayer identification number). Generally,
individuals are not exempt recipients, whereas corporations and certain other
entities generally are exempt recipients. However, dividends that are subject
to U.S. withholding tax at the 30% statutory rate or at a reduced tax treaty
rate are exempt from backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax and such
additional information reporting.
 
Broker Sales
If a non-U.S. holder sells Class B Shares through a U.S. office of a U.S. or
foreign broker, the broker is required to file an information return and is
required to withhold 31% of the sale proceeds unless the non-U.S. holder is an
exempt recipient or has provided the broker with the information and
statements, under penalties of perjury, necessary to establish an exemption
from backup withholding. If payment of the proceeds of the sale of a share by a
non-U.S. holder is made to or through the foreign office of a broker, that
broker will not be required to backup withhold or, except as provided in the
next sentence, to file information returns. In the case of proceeds from a sale
of a share by a non-U.S. holder paid to or through the foreign office of a U.S.
broker or a foreign office of a foreign broker that is (i) a controlled foreign
corporation for U.S. tax purposes or (ii) a person 50% or more of whose gross
income for the three-year period ending with the close of the taxable year
preceding the year of payment (or for the part of that period that the broker
has been in existence) is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States (a "Foreign U.S. Connected Broker"),
information reporting is required unless the broker has documentary evidence in
its files that the payee is not a U.S. person and certain other conditions are
met, or the payee otherwise establishes an exemption. In addition, the Treasury
Department has indicated that it is studying the possible application of backup
withholding in the case of such foreign offices of U.S. and Foreign U.S.
Connected Brokers.
 
The Proposed Regulations would, if adopted, alter the foregoing rules in
certain respects. Among other things, the Proposed Regulations would provide
certain presumptions under which a non-U.S. holder would be subject to backup
withholding and information reporting unless Security Capital receives
certification from the holder of its non-U.S. status.
 
Refunds
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
non-U.S. holder may be refunded or credited against the non-U.S. holder's U.S.
federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the IRS.

                                 ERISA MATTERS
 
  The fiduciary requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), require the investments of a
pension, profit sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (an
"ERISA Plan") to be (i) prudent and in the best interests of the ERISA Plan,
its participants and beneficiaries; (ii) diversified in order to reduce the
risk of large losses, unless it is clearly prudent not to do so; and (iii)
authorized under the terms of the governing documents of the ERISA Plan. Each
fiduciary of an ERISA Plan should carefully consider whether an investment in
the Class B Shares is consistent with his or her fiduciary duties.
 
  A fiduciary making the decision to invest in the Class B Shares on behalf of
an ERISA Plan, a governmental plan, an Individual Retirement Account or certain
non-ERISA plans (a "Plan") is advised to consult his or her own legal advisor
regarding the specific considerations arising under ERISA, the Code or state
law with respect to the purchase, ownership or sale of Class B Shares by such
Plan.
 
  A regulation promulgated by the Department of Labor (the "DOL Regulation")
provides that, except under certain circumstances set forth therein, investment
by a Plan in a corporation, partnership or other entity may result in the
assets of that entity being treated as the assets of the investing Plan.
 
  An investment in an "operating company" is one circumstance in which the
entity's assets will not be deemed to be "plan assets." The DOL Regulation
includes in the definition of "operating company" a "venture capital operating
company" ("VCOC"). A VCOC is an entity which, as of its "initial valuation
date" and annually on its "annual valuation date" (as defined by the DOL
Regulation), has at least 50% of its assets (other than short-term assets
pending long-term investment or distribution), valued at cost, invested in
venture capital investments or derivative instruments and which actually
exercises, in the ordinary course of its business, management rights in one or
more of the operating companies in which it invests. The Company has received
opinions from Mayer, Brown and Platt that it is a VCOC as of its most recent
valuation date and, assuming that at the relevant future valuation dates
(including after giving effect to the Mergers) its investments in qualifying
venture capital investments constitute at least 50% of its assets valued at
cost, and that it continues to exercise its management rights in at least one
of the operating companies in which it invests, it will qualify as a VCOC and
its assets will not be deemed "plan assets" under the DOL Regulation.
 
  The DOL Regulation also provides that an entity's assets will not be treated
as "plan assets" because of an ERISA Plan's investment if the Plan acquires a
"publicly offered security" which is an equity interest in the entity. The DOL
Regulation defines a publicly offered security as a security that is freely
transferable, part of a class of securities that is widely held and either (i)
part of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the
Exchange Act or (ii) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under
the Securities Act (provided that the securities are registered under the
Exchange Act within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year of the issuer
during which the offering occurred). The Class B Shares are expected to be
registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act upon completion of the
Offering and, prior to the completion of the Offering, the Class A Shares will
be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
 
  A security is "widely held" if it is part of a class of securities owned by
100 or more investors independent of the issuer and of one another. The Company
believes that the Class A Shares are widely held and expects the Class B Shares
to be widely held upon completion of the Offering.
 
  Whether a security is "freely transferable" is a factual question to be
determined on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances. The DOL
Regulation creates certain safe harbors for securities with a minimum
investment of $10,000 or less, which safe harbor is not available for Class B
Shares offered hereby. Nevertheless, the Company believes that any restrictions
on the transfer of Class A Shares or Class B Shares are limited to the type of
restrictions permitted by the DOL Regulation. The DOL Regulation only
establishes a presumption in favor of free transferability, and no assurance
can be given that the Department of Labor or the U.S. Treasury Department will
not reach a contrary conclusion.
 
  Assuming that the Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be "widely held" and
that no facts and circumstances other than those referred to in the preceding
paragraph exist that restrict transferability, the Company
 
                                       79
<PAGE>
 
believes that, while the issue is not entirely free from doubt because of its
factual nature, the Class A Shares and Class B Shares will be publicly offered
securities and the assets of the Company will not be deemed to be "plan assets"
of any Plan which invests in Class B Shares.
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the assets of the Company were deemed to be
"plan assets" under ERISA, the Company's ability to engage in business
transactions could be hampered because: (i) certain persons exercising
discretion as to the Company's assets might be considered to be fiduciaries
under ERISA; (ii) transactions involving the Company undertaken at their
direction or pursuant to their advice might violate ERISA; and (iii) certain
transactions that the Company might enter into in the ordinary course of its
business might constitute "prohibited transactions" under ERISA and the Code.

                                  UNDERWRITING
 
Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an Underwriting
Agreement dated the date of this Prospectus (the "Underwriting Agreement"), the
Underwriters named below, for whom J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is acting as
representative (the "Representative"), have agreed to purchase, and the Company
has agreed to sell to them, the respective numbers of Class B Shares set forth
opposite their names below. Under the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters are obligated to take and
pay for all such Class B Shares, if any are taken. Under certain circumstances,
the commitments of nondefaulting Underwriters may be increased as set forth in
the Underwriting Agreement.

</TABLE>
 
The Underwriters propose initially to offer the Class B Shares directly to the
public at the price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $       per
Class B Share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a
concession not in excess of $       per Class B Share to certain other dealers.
After the initial public offering of the Class B Shares, the public offering
price and such concession may be changed.
 
Security Capital has granted to the Underwriters an option, expiring at the
close of business on the 30th day after the date of this Prospectus, to
purchase up to        additional Class B Shares at the initial public offering
price, less the underwriting discount. The Underwriters may exercise such
option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any. To the
extent the Underwriters exercise the option, each Underwriter will have a firm
commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same
percentage of such additional shares as the number set forth next to such
Underwriter's name in the preceding table bears to the total number of Class B
Shares offered hereby.
 
The Representative has informed Security Capital that it does not expect sales
to accounts over which the Underwriters exercise discretionary authority to
exceed five percent of the total number of Class B Shares offered by them.
 
In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters may engage in transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class B Shares or
the Class A Shares. Specifically, the Underwriters may overallot the offering,
creating a syndicate short position. In addition, the Underwriters may bid for,
and purchase, Class B Shares or Class A Shares in the open market to cover
syndicate shorts or to stabilize the price of the Class B Shares or the Class A
Shares. Finally, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions
allowed for distributing the Class B Shares in the Offering, if the syndicate
repurchases previously distributed Class B Shares in syndicate covering
transactions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these
activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the Class B Shares or
the Class A Shares above independent market levels. The Underwriters are not
required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at
any time.
 
                                       81

Application will be made to list the Class B Shares on the NYSE. In order to
meet one of the requirements for listing the Class B Shares on the NYSE, the
Underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more Class B Shares to a
minimum of 2,000 beneficial holders.
 
Security Capital, and certain of its directors, officers and affiliates have
agreed that, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.,
they will not (i) offer, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to
sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract
to sell, grant any option, rights or warrants to purchase, or otherwise
transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares (including, without
limitation, Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Commission and securities which may be
issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or (ii) enter into any swap
or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described
in clause (i) and (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the Shares or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise, for a period of 180 days after the date
of this Prospectus, other than (1) pursuant to employee or director stock
option plans existing on the date of this Prospectus, (2) the conversion or
exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding on the date of
this Prospectus, (3) the exercise of options or warrants to purchase securities
outstanding on the date hereof, (4) the issuance of up to $250 million of
Warrants pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreements and the issuance of
Class B Shares upon exercise thereof, (5) the sale to the Underwriters of Class
B Shares under the Underwriting Agreement and (6) the issuance of Class A
Shares pursuant to the Company's Convertible Debenture interest reinvestment
plans as in effect on the date hereof.
 
Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Class B Shares.
The initial public offering price for the Class B Shares offered hereby will be
determined by agreement among the Company and the Underwriters based on a
methodology which will take into account a range of factors, including (i) the
market value of the Company's securities holdings in public companies, (ii) the
fair value of its securities holdings in private companies and its other
assets, (iii) its accrued or outstanding liabilities, (iv) estimates of its
business potential and prospects for future earnings, (v) an assessment of its
management, (vi) the current state of its industry and the economy as a whole,
(vii) the general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the
Offering and (viii) the prices of similar securities of generally comparable
companies.
 
At the request of the Company, the Underwriters have reserved up to   Class B
Shares for sale at the initial public offering price to directors, officers,
and employees of the Company and its affiliates. The number of Class B Shares
available to the general public will be reduced to the extent such persons
purchase the reserved Class B Shares. Any reserved Class B Shares that are not
so purchased by such persons at the closing of the Offering will be offered by
the Underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other Class B
Shares offered by this Prospectus.
 
Security Capital has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
From time to time in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc., and its affiliates have provided and may in the future

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Security Capital Group Incorporated:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Capital Group Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and the schedule referred to below based on our
audits. We did not audit the financial statements and accompanying Schedule
IIIs of Security Capital Pacific Trust, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated,
Security Capital U.S. Realty and Homestead Village Incorporated, for which the
accompanying statements reflect $1,800,084,000 (58.6%) and $918,860,000 (49.2%)
of the total consolidated assets of Security Capital Group Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $248,469,000
(62.9%), $103,287,000 (51.5%) and $63,728,000 (35.8%) of the total consolidated
income in the consolidated statements of operations of Security Capital Group
Incorporated and subsidiaries for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996, respectively. Those statements and the accompanying Schedule IIIs were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those entities, is
based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
 
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 and the reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, based on our audits and reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Security Capital Group Incorporated and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The attached Schedule III
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic consolidated financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our
opinion, based solely upon the reports of other auditors, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business:
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), formerly Security
Capital Realty Incorporated, is a corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Maryland engaged in the creation and operation of real estate
operating companies. Security Capital has invested in five operating companies
(the "Capital Division"). Three such investees are highly focused, fully
integrated real estate operating companies formed as real estate investment
trusts (REITs), which own, develop, acquire, and operate income-producing
multifamily properties and distribution facilities. The fourth investee is a
European-based company formed with the objective of owning strategic positions
in United States real estate operating companies focused on specific subsectors
of retail, office and other well researched property types. The fifth investee
develops, owns and operates moderately priced, extended-stay lodging properties
across the United States. Security Capital also includes a "Services Division",
which provides management and property management services to the companies in
which Security Capital has made investments. The Services Division provides
strategic guidance, research, investment analysis, acquisition and development
services, asset management, property management, capital markets services and
legal and accounting services.
 
Merger:
Security Capital was formed by the merger of two affiliated, but not commonly
controlled, entities on January 1, 1995. Security Capital Group Incorporated
("GROUP"), a Delaware corporation, which consisted of the Services Division
companies, was merged with and into Security Capital Realty Incorporated
("REALTY"). Subsequently REALTY changed its name to that of its merged
affiliate, Security Capital Group Incorporated, and the combined entity is
referred to herein as Security Capital. In the merger, all of GROUP's
outstanding stock and principal amount of GROUP convertible subordinated
debentures were exchanged for REALTY stock and REALTY convertible subordinated
debentures due June 30, 2014 (the "2014 Convertible Debentures"). REALTY issued
135,261 shares of common stock, $70,178,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures and
options to acquire 58,772 shares of REALTY common stock and $29,298,000 of 2014
Convertible Debentures for an aggregate securities issuance of $233,708,000.
The REALTY options were issued in exchange for GROUP options and warrants held
by certain employees and directors and such options are exercisable subject to
their prior terms regarding vesting and aggregate exercise price.
 
The acquisition of GROUP was recorded under the purchase method of accounting.
The results of GROUP operations have been combined with those of REALTY's since
the date of acquisition. The fair value of tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed was $91,416,000 and $16,152,000, respectively. The balance
of the purchase price, $158,444,000, was recorded as excess of cost over net
assets acquired (goodwill).

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of operations
of REALTY and GROUP on the basis that the acquisition had taken place and the
goodwill, noted above, was recorded on January 1, 1994. The weighted average
common shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the Merger conversion
rate (1.22 common shares for each GROUP share and 1.147 common shares for each
$1,000 principal amount of GROUP's convertible subordinated debentures). The
pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
operations that would have occurred had REALTY and GROUP constituted a single
entity during such period (in thousands, except share data).

Principles of Financial Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of
Security Capital, its majority-owned operating companies (Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated) and its wholly owned
Services Division subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority interest is
comprised of the minority shareholders of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated and Homestead Village Incorporated.
 
Security Capital accounts for its 20% or greater (but not more than 50%) owned
investees by the equity method. For an investee accounted for under the equity
method, Security Capital's share of net earnings or losses of the investee is
reflected in income as earned and dividends are credited against the investment
as received.
 
Goodwill:
Goodwill results from REALTY's acquisition of GROUP on January 1, 1995 and
represents acquisition costs in excess of net assets acquired. Goodwill, net of
accumulated amortization, aggregating $142,600,000 and $150,522,000 at December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, is included in intangible assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 20 years. Amortization for each of the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $7,922,000.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Security Capital considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Real Estate and Depreciation:
Real estate is carried at cost, which is not in excess of net realizable value.
Costs directly related to the acquisition, renovation or development of real
estate for Security Capital's majority-owned operating companies are
capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of unsuccessful
acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the pursuit is abandoned.
 
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renovations and improvements
are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
 
Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property
on a straight-line basis. Properties are depreciated principally over the
useful lives of 20 to 40 years for multifamily and extended-stay buildings and
improvements and 2 to 10 years for furnishings and other equipment.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
Interest:
Security Capital capitalizes interest as part of the cost of real estate
projects under development. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid
on all outstanding debt was $100,423,000, $82,336,000 and $46,760,000,
respectively, including $12,353,000, $4,404,000 and $3,184,000, respectively,
which was capitalized.
 
Cost of Raising Capital:
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are deducted
from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance or
renewal of debt are capitalized, included with other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan in the case of issuance costs or twelve months in
the case of renewal costs. Amortization of deferred financing costs included in
interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was
$2,923,000, $2,404,000 and $2,387,000, respectively.
 
Revenue Recognition:
Rental, fee and interest income are recorded on the accrual method of
accounting. A provision for possible loss is made when collection of
receivables is considered doubtful.
 
Per Share Data:
Per share data is computed based on weighted-average shares outstanding during
the period. In the computation of net loss per common share, outstanding
options and warrants are not included as common stock equivalents as to do so
would have an anti-dilutive effect. In the computation of net earnings per
common share, outstanding options and warrants are included as common stock
equivalents using the treasury stock method. The conversion of convertible debt
into common shares is not assumed as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
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.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncement:
Properties and other long-lived assets are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The Impairment Of
Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of, has been adopted
by Security Capital and its affiliates, as required, effective January 1, 1996.
The adoption of this accounting standard had no material impact on the
financial statements as of the date of adoption.
 
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial statements and
notes to consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

2. SERVICES DIVISION
 
Certain Security Capital Services Division subsidiaries, under the terms of
separate agreements, manage the operations of the separate REITs ("REIT
Managers"), provide property management services to those REITs ("Property
Managers") and manage the operations of Security Capital U.S. Realty
("USREALTY") ("Operating Advisor"). Each REIT Manager is paid a REIT management
fee based on a percentage of the REIT's pre-management fee cash flow, after
deducting actual and assumed regularly scheduled principal payments for long-
term debt and dividends paid on non-convertible preferred shares, as defined in
the REIT Management Agreements. The fee is generally 16% of cash flow, as so
defined, for the REIT. Property management fees are at market rates and are
paid separately to Security Capital's property management subsidiaries. The
REIT and Property Management Agreements are generally one year in term,
renewable annually by the REIT and cancelable upon sixty days notice. The
Operating Advisor is paid a management fee of 1.25% of USREALTY's investments
at fair value (other than liquid short-term investments and investments in
Security Capital). The Operating Advisor agreement dated August 7, 1995 is for
a term of two years, renewable every two years on the same terms and cancelable
upon sixty days notice.
 
There were no Services Division revenues reported for the year ended 1994.
These subsidiaries were acquired January 1, 1995 in the GROUP/REALTY merger.
See Note 1.
 
In late January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to Security Capital
Industrial Trust, Security Capital Pacific Trust and Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated to exchange the REIT and Property Managers for additional shares
of the respective REITs. As a result of the proposed transaction, each of the
REITs would become internally managed. The board of trustees or directors of
each REIT has appointed a special committee comprised of independent directors
or trustees to review the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is
subject to approval (see Note 11) by each REIT's special committee as well as
its board of directors or trustees and shareholders.
 
REIT, Property and Operating Advisor management fees for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 were earned from the following sources (in
thousands):

3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS:
 
Security Capital holds investments at December 31, 1996 through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, SC Realty Incorporated ("SC Realty"), as follows:
 
  .  Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a publicly held REIT,
     acquires, develops, markets, operates and owns distribution facilities
     and develops master-planned distribution parks and build-to-suit
     facilities throughout the United States. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     Security Capital owned 46.00% and 48.33%, respectively, of the issued
     and outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of SCI. During 1996
     and 1995, Security Capital accounted for its investment in SCI by the
     equity method as Security Capital's ownership in SCI fell below 50% upon
     completion of SCI's September 1995 rights offering. In 1994, Security
     Capital consolidated SCI's accounts.
 
  .  Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"), a publicly held REIT, primarily
     owns, develops, acquires and operates income-producing multifamily
     properties in the western United States. On March 23, 1995, Security
     Capital Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"), a real estate investment trust
     owned 97.61% by Security Capital, was merged with and into PTR, and PTR
     changed its name to Security Capital Pacific Trust. In the merger each
     share of PACIFIC was converted into 0.611 shares of PTR. At December 31,
     1996 and 1995, Security Capital owned 36.28% and 37.93%, respectively,
     of the issued and outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of
     PTR.
 
  .  Security Capital accounts for its investment in PTR by the equity
     method. Due to PACIFIC's merger into PTR in 1995, Security Capital has
     accounted for its investment in PACIFIC in 1995 by the equity method and
     combined such amounts with PTR's in the accompanying 1995 consolidated
     financial statements. In 1994, Security Capital consolidated PACIFIC's
     accounts.
 
  .  Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"), a publicly held
     REIT as of October 18, 1996, owns, acquires, develops and operates
     income-producing multifamily properties in the southeastern United
     States. In consideration for Security Capital's participation in
     ATLANTIC's March 31, 1995 and November 15, 1995 private placement
     offerings, ATLANTIC assumed Security Capital's Put Obligations to
     purchase 3,750,000 shares of ATLANTIC stock, owned by the holder of the
     Put Obligations, at a total cost of $83,920,000. On July 1, 1996,
     Security Capital purchased 1,250,000 shares of ATLANTIC stock from a
     minority interest holder at a total cost of $30,663,000. On October 18,
     1996, Security Capital purchased an additional 416,666 shares of
     ATLANTIC in ATLANTIC's initial public offering at a cost of $24 per
     share. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, Security Capital owned 56.86% and
     71.60%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares of
     ATLANTIC. Security Capital consolidates ATLANTIC's accounts in the
     accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
  .  USREALTY is a Luxembourg real estate corporation formed at the direction
     of Security Capital with the objective of becoming one of Europe's
     preeminent publicly held real estate entities that will principally own
     real estate through strategic positions in both public and private real
     estate companies in the United States. Security Capital made its first
     investment of $19,970,000 in USREALTY, by converting $19,970,000 of the
     principal of a $53,000,000 note receivable to an investment in 1,997,000
     shares of USREALTY, on October 30, 1995 as part of its subscription
     commitment. Security Capital has funded total subscriptions of
     $200,000,000 for the common stock of USREALTY ($199,700,000 was invested
     by Security Capital and $300,000 by Security Capital (EU) Management
     S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital and the advisor to
     USREALTY). In addition to the subscriptions, on July 1, 1996, Security
     Capital purchased 9,132,420 shares of USREALTY in a public European
     offering at a cost of $11.06 per share and an additional 6,282,241
     shares in a public European offering, at a cost of $12.44 a share, on
     December 17, 1996. Also, during 1996, Security Capital purchased shares
     of USREALTY with a total value of $34,041,000 in the open market and in
     a privately negotiated transaction. At December 31, 1996 and 1995
     Security Capital owned 39.44% and 32.20%, respectively, of the issued
     and outstanding common shares of USREALTY. Security Capital accounts for
     its investment in USREALTY by the equity method.

  .  On October 17, 1996, Security Capital, ATLANTIC and PTR completed the
     spin-out of their extended stay lodging assets to Homestead Village
     Incorporated ("Homestead"). As described below, upon consummation of the
     transaction, Homestead's common shares were held by Security Capital and
     shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR. Given the common ownership of the
     "Homestead assets" before and after the spin-out, Security Capital did
     not record a gain on this transaction in its consolidated financial
     statements.
 
    Security Capital contributed the contractual rights (primarily fees)
    from the PTR and ATLANTIC REIT management agreements and property
    management agreements relating to the Homestead properties in exchange
    for 4,062,788 shares of Homestead common stock, including 2,150,892
    shares which are in escrow and will be released as funds are advanced
    under the ATLANTIC and PTR Funding Commitment Agreements described
    below. In addition, Security Capital contributed the Homestead
    trademark, the operating system and certain Homestead development
    properties Security Capital had acquired as they were outside the target
    markets of ATLANTIC and PTR. Security Capital also received 817,694
    warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for
    providing funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of
    the merger agreement and the closing date and the use of office
    facilities for one year. Under the terms of an Investor Agreement,
    Homestead can require Security Capital to exercise all or a portion of
    its warrants with proper written notice.
 
    ATLANTIC and PTR contributed assets consisting of operating properties
    as well as properties under construction or in planning (or the rights
    to acquire such properties) and ATLANTIC contributed $16.8 million in
    cash. In addition, ATLANTIC and PTR entered into Funding Commitment
    Agreements to provide secured financing of up to $111.1 million and
    $199.0 million, respectively, to Homestead for completing the
    development and construction of the properties contributed in the
    transaction. ATLANTIC and PTR received 4,201,220 and 9,485,727 shares,
    respectively, of Homestead common stock in exchange for the assets
    contributed and 2,818,517 and 6,363,789 warrants, respectively, to
    purchase Homestead shares at $10 per share in exchange for entering into
    the Funding Commitment Agreements. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive
    convertible mortgage notes from Homestead as fundings occur under the
    Funding Commitment Agreements. On November 12, 1996 ATLANTIC and PTR
    distributed the Homestead common stock and warrants to their
    shareholders of record as of October 29,1996. This distribution caused
    Security Capital to receive an additional 5,831,613 shares of Homestead
    common stock and 3,912,328 warrants to purchase Homestead shares at $10
    per share. Additionally, Security Capital made purchases of Homestead
    warrants in the open market totaling 206,400 shares for $1,312,807.
    Security Capital exercised $17,500,000 in warrants between October 17,
    1996 and December 31, 1996.
 
    Security Capital's ownership of Homestead's outstanding common shares as
    of December 31, 1996 was 59.14%. In 1996, Security Capital consolidated
    Homestead's accounts in the accompanying consolidated financial
    statements.
 
Security Capital received dividends from its investees for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 as follows (in thousands):

4. INDEBTEDNESS:
 
Lines of Credit:
At December 31, 1996, Security Capital and its consolidated REIT subsidiary,
ATLANTIC, had revolving bank lines of credit. Security Capital has a
$300,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Realty Advisors,
Incorporated ("Wells Fargo") as agent for a group of lenders. The agreement is
effective through November 15, 1998 with an option to renew for successive one
year periods, with the approval of Wells Fargo and the participating lenders.
Borrowings bear interest, at Security Capital's option, at either LIBOR plus
1.50% (1.75% prior to August 19, 1996) or a base rate (defined as the higher of
Wells Fargo prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus .50%) with interest
payable monthly in arrears. Commitment fees range from .125% to .25% per annum
based on the average unfunded line of credit balance (such fees were .125% on
all unfunded balances prior to October 1, 1996). Security Capital's line is
secured by its holdings in SCI, PTR, ATLANTIC, USREALTY and Homestead,
including warrants to purchase shares of Homestead's common stock, as well as
any unfunded subscriptions for Security Capital's common stock and convertible
subordinated debentures. Subscriptions receivable for Security Capital's 1996
private placement offering totaled $193,045,000 as of December 31, 1996.
 
The Security Capital line of credit is a primary obligation of SC Realty.
Security Capital guarantees the line. SC Realty is a legal entity which is
separate and distinct from Security Capital and its affiliates, and has
separate assets, liabilities, business functions and operations.
 
On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC obtained a $350,000,000 unsecured line of credit
from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT"), as agent for a group of
lenders, that replaced its previous $350,000,000 secured line of credit.
Borrowings bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a margin
ranging from 1.0% to 1.375% (currently 1.375% as compared to 1.5% under the
previous agreement) depending on ATLANTIC's debt rating. ATLANTIC currently
pays a commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance of
0.1875%. The line of credit matures December 1998 and may be extended for one
year with the approval of MGT and the other participating lenders.
 
In August 1995, ATLANTIC entered into a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs
Capital Markets, L.P. covering $100,000,000 of borrowings under the line of
credit. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a fixed rate of interest of 7.46% from February 5, 1996 to
December 17, 1996 and 7.335% thereafter. Upon expiration of the existing swap
agreement on February 5, 1997, a swap agreement with MGT took effect. The MGT
agreement provides for a fixed rate of 7.325% on $100,000,000 of borrowing
through February 5, 1998. The interest rate ATLANTIC will pay under the new
agreement will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves an investment-grade debt rating
and will range from 6.95% to 7.2% depending on the rating

achieved. ATLANTIC paid $332,000 more in interest during 1996 than was received
under the swap agreement. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the swap counterparty; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk
of loss is minimal.
 
Each line requires maintenance of certain financial covenants. Security
Capital, SC Realty and ATLANTIC were in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1996.

December 31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows (dollar amounts in thousands):

(f) In connection with the Homestead spin-out transaction described in Note 3,
Homestead executed a funding commitment agreement with PTR which provides
borrowing capability in the amount of $199,000,000. Under this funding
agreement, Homestead may call for funding from PTR through March 31, 1998 for
the development of the projects acquired from PTR in the transaction. As a
result of the fundings, PTR will receive convertible mortgage notes in stated
amounts of up to $221,000,000. The notes are collaterized by Homestead
properties.

ATLANTIC paid $1,832,000 more in interest during 1996 and $575,000 more in
interest during 1995 than was received under the swap agreements. The swap
agreements cover the principal amount of the bonds, net of amounts deposited in
the principal reserve fund. ATLANTIC pays interest on that portion of bonds not
covered by the swap agreements at the variable rates as provided by the
mortgage agreements. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-
performance by the swap counterparties; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk of
loss is minimal.
 
Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at December 31, 1996 of
$50,714,000 and $206,963,000 serves as collateral for the conventional mortgage
notes payable and the tax-exempt mortgages, respectively.
 
Homestead issued warrants to PTR in exchange for entering into the funding
commitment agreements (Note 3). The costs associated with the issuance of the
warrants have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The premium/discount
(i.e. the difference between the stated amount and the funded amount), the
value attributable to the conversion feature, and the costs associated with the
warrants are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related
mortgage note payable using a method which approximates the effective interest
method. The effective interest rate on the PTR convertible mortgage note
payable after giving effect to the related discount, conversion feature, and
warrants is estimated to be 13.56%.
 
The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of PTR, into common shares of
Homestead common stock beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion price is equal
to one share of common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding.
 
Approximate principal payments due on mortgage notes payable during each of the
years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2001 and thereafter are as

Convertible Debt:
Security Capital's 2014 Convertible Debentures totaling $713,677,000 at
December 31, 1996 and $718,611,000 at December 31, 1995 accrue interest at 12%
per annum but require semi-annual cash interest payments at a minimum rate per
annum of 3.5%. Interest above the minimum may be paid currently or deferred at
the option of Security Capital. Any deferred interest accrues interest at 12%
and is due upon maturity. The Board of Directors of Security Capital approved a
cash interest payment rate of 9.939% and 9.376% per annum for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
Security Capital's convertible subordinated debentures due March 29, 2016 (the
"2016 Convertible Debentures") totaling $226,520,000 at December 31, 1996 and
none at December 31, 1995 accrue interest at 6.5%
per annum and require semi-annual interest payments on the last business day of
June and December. Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March
1996 private placement offering for 2016 Convertible Debentures of
$323,048,500.
 
The principal amount of the 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures are
convertible into Security Capital common stock at $1,046.00 and $1,153.90 per
share, respectively, at the option of the holder any time after the earlier to
occur of (i) the first anniversary of Security Capital's initial public
offering of its common stock, (ii) July 1, 1999 and March 29, 2001 for the 2014
and 2016 Convertible Debentures, respectively, (iii) the consolidation or
merger of Security Capital with another entity (other than a merger in which
Security Capital is the surviving entity) or any sale or disposition of
substantially all the assets of Security Capital or (iv) notice of redemption
of the debentures by Security Capital. On conversion of the 2014 Convertible
Debentures, any accrued and unpaid deferred interest shall be deemed to be paid
in full upon delivery of the common shares to the debenture holder. Security
Capital may redeem the 2014 Convertible Debentures at any time and the 2016
Convertible Debentures may be redeemed at any time after March 29, 1999. To
redeem the debentures, Security Capital must provide not less than 60 days nor
more than 90 days prior written notice to the holders. The redemption price is
par plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
 
5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
Security Capital has received subscriptions from its March 1996 private
placement offerings of securities totaling $785,097,000. Such subscriptions
consist of preferred stock of $139,000,000, common stock of $323,048,500, and
2016 Convertible Debentures of $323,048,500.
 
On April 1, 1996 Security Capital issued 139,000 shares of its Series A
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred
Shares"). The Series A Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $1,000
per share for an aggregate preference of $139,000,000 plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends. The holder of the Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to
voting rights, equal to the number of common shares into which the Series A
Preferred Shares are convertible, on matters of amendments of Security
Capital's Articles of Incorporation and merger of Security Capital, or sale of
substantially all assets or liquidation or dissolution, and one-half of such
number of common shares on other matters submitted to a vote of the common
shareholders. Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of
the holder at any time, into 0.76184 of Security Capital common shares (a
conversion price of $1,312.61 per share). Holders of the Series A Preferred
Shares will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends,
cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 7.5% of the
liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $75.00 per share). Such
distributions are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December or, if not a business day, the next succeeding business day. The
Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable, at the option of Security Capital,
after March 31, 1999.
 
Through December 31, 1996 Security Capital has received fundings for the
issuance of 215,946 shares of common stock ($226,526,000) and 2016 Convertible
Debentures ($226,526,000). Included in the fundings was $22,500,000 received
from USREALTY. USREALTY has committed to a total subscription of $110,000,000
in Security Capital's offering.
 
Participants in Security Capital's Debenture Interest Reinvestment Plans may
reinvest the cash portion of their interest payments applicable to Security
Capital's 2014 and 2016 Convertible Debentures in Security Capital

common stock at the estimated fair value per share determined as of the prior
quarter end date. As of December 31, 1996, 74,602 shares of Security Capital's
common stock have been reserved for issuance under these plans.
 
6. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND WARRANTS:
 
Security Capital has stock and convertible debenture option plans for
directors, officers and key employees which provide for grants of non-qualified
and incentive options. Prior to 1996, all options and warrants were issued in
units consisting of common stock and 2014 Convertible Debentures. Such options
must be exercised in units which consist of both shares and debentures. In
1996, most option grants were for common stock only. Shares totaling 262,615
have been reserved for options and warrants, including shares obtainable upon
conversion of debentures. Under all plans, the option exercise price equals the
fair value of the stock or stock and debentures, as applicable as of the date
of grant. Vesting of the options commences no more than three years from grant
date and options are fully vested no more than six years from grant date.
Options expire ten years from date of grant.
 
Security Capital has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
option plans. As permitted by Statement 123, Security Capital has applied its
provisions to options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994. Since the
Statement 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options granted
prior to 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be
representative of such costs to be expected in future years. The pro forma
effect of Statement 123 is summarized as follows (in thousands, except share
data):

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest
rates of 6.32% and 6.26%; expected lives of seven years for 1996 and 1995;
expected dividends--none; and expected volatility of 20% for both years.
 
A summary of the status of Security Capital's stock option plans at December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and changes during the years then ended is presented in

The weighted-average fair value per share of options granted during 1996 and
1995 was $447 and $368, respectively.
 
In connection with ATLANTIC's acquisition of a portfolio of multifamily assets
in June 1994, Security Capital issued a warrant to the seller to purchase
40,241 shares and $30,500,000 of 2014 Convertible Debentures for an aggregate
price of $60,000,000 ($865 per fully converted share).The warrant expires March
31, 1998; however, if Security Capital's common stock is not registered by that
date, the warrant will automatically be exercised according to its cashless
exercise provisions. Due to its immateriality, no value has been assigned to
the warrant in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
7. LEASES

$2,692,000, respectively, including $1,390,000 and $813,000 in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, paid to SCI. There was no lease expense during 1994. Included
above are lease agreements with SCI with a total remaining obligation of
$10,647,000.

8. INCOME TAXES:
 
Security Capital accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting For Income Taxes. Security Capital
files a consolidated Federal income tax return. Homestead also accounts for
income taxes under Statement 109 and its tax effects are included in Security
Capital's consolidated financial statements. Homestead files a separate Federal
income tax return. ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no
provisions have been made for Federal income taxes for its operations in
Security Capital's consolidated financial statements.
 
Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
consisted of deferred tax provisions of $30,872,000 and none, respectively.
Prior to 1995, Security Capital had elected to be taxed as a REIT; therefore
there is no tax provision for 1994. Security Capital terminated its REIT status
as of January 1, 1995 as a result of the merger with GROUP.
 
A reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the applicable Federal tax
rate of 35% in 1996 and 1995 to the amount recorded in the consolidated
financial statements is as follows (in thousands):

Security Capital had tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$61,000,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995. If not previously utilized, the loss
carryforwards will expire beginning 2005 through 2010. Utilization of existing
net operating loss carryforwards is limited by IRC Section 382 (limitation on
net operating loss carryforwards following ownership change) and the Separate
Return Limitation Year ("SRLY") rules.
 
As mentioned above, prior to 1995, Security Capital elected to be taxed as a
REIT. For 1994, total distributions per share were $791.00, consisting of
$33.50 in cash distributions and a $757.50 debenture distribution. For Federal
income tax purposes, the estimated taxability of distributions was as follows--
ordinary income ($7.91 per share); return of capital ($783.09 per share). Also,
for the period that Security Capital elected to be taxed as a REIT, its
Accumulated Deficit included only ordinary income and did not include any
undistributed net realized gains on disposition of real estate.
 
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995, are as

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Security Capital and its investees are parties to various claims and routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on discussion with
legal counsel, Security Capital does not believe that the results of all claims
and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
Security Capital's investees are subject to environmental regulations related
to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As
part of due diligence procedures, Security Capital's investees conduct Phase I
environmental assessments on each property prior to acquisition. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to Security Capital's
results of operations. Security Capital and its investees are not aware of any
environmental condition on any of their properties which is likely to have a
material adverse effect on financial condition or results of operations.
 
At December 31, 1996, Security Capital had approximately $323,353,000 of
unfunded development commitments for developments under construction. ATLANTIC
and Homestead's commitments were $95,900,000 and $227,453,000, respectively.
 
10. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts
payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 because of the short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the
carrying value of line of credit borrowings approximates fair value as of those
dates because the interest rates fluctuate based on published market rates. In
the opinion of management, the interest rates associated with the conventional
mortgages payable and the tax exempt mortgages payable approximate the market
interest rates for this type of instrument, and as such, the carrying values
approximate fair value at December 31, 1996 and 1995, in all material respects.
 
PTR's convertible mortgage notes are convertible into Homestead common stock
after March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for
every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding. The fair value of the convertible
mortgage notes (assuming conversion), based upon the trading price of
Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at December 31, 1996,
($18.00) is $176,304,000.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On March 24, 1997, the board of trustees or directors of SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC
each unanimously approved an agreement with Security Capital to exchange its
REIT common stock for Security Capital's REIT management and property
management companies. The transactions, subject to approval by the shareholders
of Security Capital SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC, are expected to be consummated
during the third quarter of 1997. Under the terms of the agreements, SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC, will issue $81.9 million, $75.8 million and $54.6 million of
their common stock, respectively, in exchange for Security Capital's REIT
management and property management companies and operating systems. After
giving effect to income taxes, Security Capital expects the gain on sale of the
management companies to SCI and PTR will be immaterial. No gain will be
recorded on the sale to ATLANTIC as Security Capital consolidates ATLANTIC's
accounts.
 
In order to allow existing shareholders to maintain their relative ownership
interests, SCI, PTR and ATLANTIC will conduct rights offerings during the time
proxies are solicited from their shareholders. Also, as part of the
transaction, Security Capital will issue warrants to acquire $250 million of
Class B shares to the common and convertible preferred shareholders of SCI, PTR
and ATLANTIC. The warrants are expected to be publicly traded and have a term
of twelve months. Security Capital expects to file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering its initial public
offering of Class B shares in the third quarter of 1997.
 
  On April 17, 1997 Security Capital shareholders approved an amended and
restated charter which created Class A and Class B Shares. All outstanding
common stock as of April 18, 1997 was automatically changed to Class A Shares.
All references to Security Capital common stock are to Class A Shares unless
otherwise noted.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Security Capital Group Incorporated:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Security Capital
Group Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended. 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 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security Capital
Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
1. GENERAL
 
Organization and Recent Merger:
A merger of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("GROUP") with and into
Security Capital Realty Incorporated ("REALTY") was approved by GROUP and
REALTY shareholders during the fourth quarter of 1994. The merger was effective
on January 1, 1995.
 
The merged entity ("Security Capital") is a private real estate company which
combines GROUP's and REALTY's two complementary businesses. The merged entity
owns controlling positions in three highly focused, fully integrated real
estate operating companies. The new entity also includes the Services Division,
which owns REIT Management and Property Management companies that direct these
operating businesses. The Services Division provides strategic guidance,
research, investment analysis, acquisition and development services, asset
management, property management, capital markets services and legal and
accounting services.
 
In August 1994, GROUP declared a dividend of .7242 shares to its stockholders.
The stock dividend was paid on August 22, 1994 to holders of record on August
12, 1994.
 
In the merger, each share of GROUP's outstanding stock was exchanged for 1.22
shares of REALTY stock. Also, each $1,000 principal amount of GROUP's 8.5%
convertible subordinated debentures was exchanged for $1,000 principal amount
of REALTY's convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2014 (the "2014
Convertible Debentures") plus 1.147 shares of REALTY stock (equaling 1.22
REALTY shares, on a fully converted basis, for each GROUP share into which the
GROUP debentures were convertible).
 
Each holder of an unexpired option or warrant to purchase GROUP stock or
debentures automatically received the right to exercise such option or warrant,
as the case may be (subject to the vesting provisions thereof and at the same
aggregate exercise price), for the securities of REALTY the holder could have
received pursuant to the merger had such option or warrant been exercised
immediately prior to the merger.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Financial Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
GROUP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Depreciation:
Depreciation of furniture and equipment is computed over the estimated useful
lives (generally 3 to 10 years) of the depreciable property on a straight-line
basis.
 
Goodwill:
Goodwill results from acquisitions of financial services companies and
represents acquisition costs in excess of net assets of the businesses
acquired. Goodwill, aggregating $12,540,111 at December 31, 1994, is included
in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15-20 years. Accumulated amortization
at December 31, 1994 was $723,806.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and investments in
money market funds.

3. SERVICES DIVISION
 
GROUP's Services Division owns REIT Management (defined below) and Property
Management companies which direct the operations and provide services to the
highly focused, fully integrated real estate operating companies REALTY owns.
Under the terms of separate agreements, GROUP's financial services subsidiaries
manage the operations of separate affiliated REITs ("REIT Managers") and
provide property management services to those REITs ("Property Managers"). Each
REIT Manager is paid a REIT Management fee based on a percentage of the REIT's
pre-management fee cash flow, after deducting regularly scheduled and assumed
mortgage principal payments, as defined in the REIT management agreements. The
fee is generally 16% of cash flow for operating REITs. The fee was 4% of cash
flow with respect to REALTY, except with respect to REALTY's cash flow from
affiliates in which it owns 90% or more of the common stock, as to which no fee
was paid by REALTY. The REIT and Property Management Agreements are generally
one year in term, renewable annually by the affiliated REIT and cancelable upon
sixty days' notice. Property management fees are at market rates and are paid
separately to GROUP's property management subsidiaries.
REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
earned from the following sources:

8. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The debentures bear interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum. GROUP may defer
annually interest at the rate of 4.5%, which is payable at the maturity of the
debentures (or earlier if the Board so directs). The balance of the interest
amount (4%) is payable to the extent of the net cash flow of GROUP and may be
deferred until payable out of net cash flow. Any amounts deferred accrue
interest at the rate of 8.5%. On January 1, 1995 all 8.5% convertible
subordinated debentures were exchanged for REALTY 2014 Convertible Debentures
and shares of REALTY stock (see Notes 1 and 6). In conjunction with the merger
with REALTY (see Note 1), all current and deferred accrued interest, amounting
to $8,284,407, was paid on December 31, 1994.
 
On March 31, 1994 GROUP issued $9,833,470 principal amount of 8.5% convertible
subordinated debentures, pursuant to a rights offering to existing
shareholders.
 
9. INCOME TAXES
 
GROUP has no significant deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities other
than its net operating loss carryforwards incurred from inception through
December 31, 1994. No tax benefits applicable to such operating losses have
been recognized, since GROUP would be unable to carry the operating loss back
to prior periods for federal income tax purposes. GROUP has net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $18,310,000 at December 31, 1994. If not
previously utilized, the loss carryforwards will expire beginning 2005 through
2009. Subsequent to the merger (see Note 1), utilization of existing net
operating loss carryforwards may be limited by IRC Section 382 (limitation on
net operating loss carryforwards following ownership change) and the Separate
Return Limitation Year ("SRLY") rules.
 
10. SHARE OPTION PLAN
 
GROUP's Board of Directors has approved stock option plans and warrants for
officers and directors. The plans permit options to be granted to directors and
non-director employees to acquire units of Class B Common Non-voting Stock and
8.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2006.
 
The securities reserved for options and warrant grants and the options and
warrants granted are summarized as follows:

                                   =========  ===========
</TABLE>
 
Due to the stock dividend, the option and warrant shares have been increased by
 .7242 (see Note 1). All options and warrants had exercise prices of $580 per
share (adjusted to $475 per Security Capital share in the GROUP/REALTY merger)
for the common stock and par for the debentures and must be exercised in units
of both common stock and debentures.
 
Options granted to directors are one-half vested, with the balance to be fully
vested on January 1, 1996. These options expire December 31, 2002. Of the
options granted to employees, options for 2,664 shares and $3,785,503 of
debentures are fully vested and expire January 1, 1997. The remaining employee
options vest over a period from January 1, 1996 to December 31, 2002, and
expire December 31, 2002. Under the 1995 Option Plan, 1,311 shares

and $993,367 of debentures were granted to employees. The 1995 Option Plan is
subject to shareholder approval. If shareholder approval is not received,
options will convert to "phantom" options. If that conversion occurs, on the
option's expiration date the option holder will receive cash equal to the net
value of the option.
 
The Warrants granted to a director who is also an officer are fully vested and
expire on December 31, 2002. No options or warrants have been exercised.
 
11. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
 
On May 12, 1994, GROUP entered into an asset purchase agreement with Laing
Properties, Incorporated and Laing Management Company. The total purchase price
was $6,000,000 cash and the entire amount was recorded as goodwill. The
transaction occurred simultaneously with Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated's acquisition of $336 million of multifamily real estate
properties. A subsidiary of GROUP is managing these properties.
 
On October 28, 1994, subsidiary of GROUP entered into an asset purchase
agreement with The Krauss/Schwartz Company. The total purchase price was
$1,500,000 cash and the entire amount was recorded as goodwill. The transaction
occurred simultaneously with Security Capital Industrial Trust's acquisition of
$89 million of industrial real estate properties. These properties are managed
by a subsidiary of GROUP.
 
In a series of transactions completed in January 1994, GROUP acquired all the
outstanding stock of WilsonSchanzer, Inc., a multifamily property management
company, and renamed it SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("REALTY SERVICES").
As part of the consideration, GROUP issued a $250,000 note payable and a three-
year option to purchase Class B common stock and debentures for an exercise
price of $270,000. The note payable bears interest at Texas Commerce Bank prime
rate plus 1/4% and is exchangeable for stock of REALTY. GROUP also acquired the
assignment of rights under a management agreement from the selling shareholders
for $560,000, payable in four equal, annual installments expiring January 31,
1997.
 
Goodwill applicable to these transactions is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over 15-20 years (see Note 2).

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST:
 
We have audited the balance sheets of SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related statements of earnings,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ending December 31, 1996. In connection with our audits of the financial
statements, we also have audited Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated
Depreciation. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are
the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our
opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation
to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
 
(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business
Security Capital Pacific Trust (New York Stock Exchange Symbol: "PTR") is an
equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") organized in 1963 under the laws
of the state of Maryland, which primarily owns, develops, acquires and operates
income-producing multifamily communities in the western United States.
 
Principles of Financial Presentation
The accounts of PTR and its majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated in the
accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and
assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
PTR considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial institutions and
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate is carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of estimated
fair market value.
 
Costs directly related to the acquisition (including costs related to certain
planned renovations identified during PTR's pre-acquisition due diligence),
development or improvement of real estate, and certain indirect costs related
to developments are capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit
of unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the
pursuit is abandoned.
 
Depreciation is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property
on a straight-line basis. Real estate assets are depreciated principally over
the following useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                         <C>
             Buildings and improvements  20-40 years
             Furnishings and other        2-10 years
</TABLE>
 
Make-Ready and Repairs and Maintenance
Make-ready (expenditures incurred in preparing a vacant multifamily unit for
the next tenant) and repairs and maintenance expenditures, other than
acquisition-related renovation costs identified during PTR's pre-acquisition
due diligence, are expensed as incurred. PTR generally expenses carpet and
appliance repairs and replacements after any planned acquisition-related
renovation expenditures for such items have been incurred.
 
Interest
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid in cash on all outstanding
debt, net of interest capitalized, was $23,631,000, $17,674,000 and
$11,949,000, respectively.
 
PTR capitalizes interest incurred during the construction period as part of the
cost of multifamily communities under development. Interest capitalized during
1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated $16,941,000, $11,741,000 and $6,029,000,
respectively.
 
Cost of Raising Capital
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity securities are
deducted from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the
issuance or renewal of debt are capitalized as other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan or the renewal period. Amortization of loan costs
included in interest expense for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,233,000, $1,543,000
and $1,903,000, respectively.

                         SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Interest Rate Contracts
From time to time, PTR utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in
anticipation of future debt offerings to manage well-defined interest rate
risk. Unrealized changes in the market value of interest rate contracts are
deferred until the hedged transaction is consummated and realized gains and
losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contracts are
deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt
issuance.
 
Revenue and Gain Recognition
PTR leases its multifamily units under operating leases with terms of generally
less than one year. Rental income is recognized according to the terms of the
underlying leases which approximates the revenue which would be recognized if
spread evenly over the lease term.
 
Gains on sales of real estate are recorded when the recognition criteria set
forth by generally accepted accounting principles have been met.
 
Rental Expenses
Rental expenses shown on the accompanying Statement of Earnings include costs
of on-site personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, make-ready, property
insurance, marketing, landscaping, property management fees paid to
unaffiliated companies, and other on-site administrative costs.
 
Federal Income Taxes
PTR has made an election to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended. PTR believes it qualifies as a REIT and, accordingly, no
provisions have been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying
financial statements.
 
Per Share Data
Primary earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of
common shares of beneficial interest, par value $1.00 per share ("Common
Shares"), outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per Common Share is calculated
from the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding plus the Common Shares that
would be outstanding assuming conversion of all outstanding cumulative
convertible Series A Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest, par value $1.00
per share ("Series A Preferred Shares"), outstanding Trustee options and
certain warrants exercisable by third parties (Note 8). For purposes of the
fully diluted earnings per share calculation, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Shares are added back to net earnings attributable to Common Shares.
Primary earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share were
approximately the same for each of the three years presented, although there
was reportable dilution for the third quarter of 1996. See Note 10.
 
Reclassifications
Certain of the 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
1996 presentation.

(2) HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
On October 17, 1996, PTR, Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"),
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital") and Homestead Village
Incorporated ("Homestead") consummated a merger agreement pursuant to which
each of PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital contributed, through a series of
merger transactions, all of their respective assets related to their Homestead
Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets to Homestead, a newly formed company.
In connection with the transaction, PTR and ATLANTIC entered into funding
commitment agreements to finance the development of certain Homestead
properties.
 
PTR contributed 54 Homestead Village(R) properties (or the rights to acquire
such properties) ("Homestead Assets") to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock. Simultaneously, PTR received 6,363,789
warrants to acquire additional shares of Homestead common stock at a price of
$10.00 per share in exchange for entering into a funding commitment agreement.
In this agreement PTR agreed to provide up to $198.8 million in secured
financing for developments to Homestead in exchange for up to $221.3 million in
convertible mortgage notes ("Homestead Notes"), including those existing on the
properties at the transaction date. See Note 5 for information on the Homestead
Notes.
 
Upon full funding of the Homestead Notes and after giving effect to the
Homestead Distribution described below, PTR's conversion rights would represent
a 34.7% ownership interest in Homestead. This ownership interest assumes no
further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all Homestead Notes by PTR
and ATLANTIC and exercise of all outstanding warrants.
 
PTR's Homestead common stock and warrants to acquire additional common stock
were distributed on November 12, 1996 to holders of record of Common Shares on
October 29, 1996 (the "Homestead Distribution"). Each PTR shareholder received
0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock and 0.084326 warrants per PTR Common
Share plus cash for fractional shares and warrants.
 
As of October 17, 1996, the Homestead Assets owned by PTR constituted 7.1% of
PTR's total assets, and PTR's investment in its wholly owned Homestead Village
subsidiaries, including intercompany advances, constituted less than 1% of
PTR's total assets. PTR's Homestead Village(R) operations accounted for
approximately 8.2% of PTR's total earnings from operations from January 1, 1996
to October 17, 1996.
 
The Homestead transaction had the following impact on PTR's balance sheet as of
October 17, 1996, after giving effect to the Homestead Distribution (in
thousands):

(3) 1995 MERGER OF SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC INCORPORATED AND CONCURRENT
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERING
 
On March 23, 1995, PTR consummated a merger (the "Merger") of Security Capital
Pacific Incorporated ("PACIFIC"), a Maryland corporation, with and into PTR.
PACIFIC was a private multifamily REIT controlled by Security Capital, PTR's
principal shareholder. PACIFIC's portfolio consisted primarily of 17 operating
multifamily communities aggregating 5,579 units. In the Merger, each
outstanding share of PACIFIC common stock was converted into the right to
receive 0.611 Common Shares. As a result, 8,468,460 of PTR's Common Shares
valued at $138.7 million ($16.375 per share) were issued in the Merger in
exchange for all of the outstanding shares of PACIFIC common stock. In
addition, PTR assumed $51.9 million on PACIFIC's line of credit and $54.4
million of mortgage debt. The Merger has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the results of operations of PACIFIC have been included in PTR's
financial statements from March 23, 1995.
 
The following summarized pro forma (unaudited) information assumes the Merger
occurred on January 1, 1994, and represents the combined historical operating
results of PTR and PACIFIC for the respective pro forma periods. No material
pro forma adjustments to revenue and expenses were required. The weighted-
average Common Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the Merger
conversion rate (0.611 Common Shares for each share of PACIFIC common stock).
The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
operations that would have occurred had PACIFIC and PTR constituted a single
entity during such periods (in thousands, except per share amounts).

shareholders of PTR to purchase Common Shares at the same price at which
PACIFIC shareholders acquired Common Shares in the Merger ($16.375 per Common
Share). Security Capital purchased $50 million (3.1 million Common Shares at
$16.375 per Common Share) in the subscription offering pursuant to the
oversubscription privilege.

At January 29, 1997, PTR had contingent contracts or letters of intent, subject
to PTR's final due diligence, to acquire land for the near term development of
an estimated 3,507 multifamily units with an aggregate estimated development
cost of $264.5 million. At the same date, PTR also had contingent contracts or
letters of intent, subject to final due diligence, for the acquisition of 964
additional operating multifamily units with a total expected investment of
$77.2 million, including planned renovations.
 
At January 29, 1997, PTR had unfunded development commitments for developments
under construction of $158.8 million.
 
Pre-Sale Agreements and Development Subsidiary
To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily communities
which meet PTR's investment criteria, PTR has and will enter into presale
agreements with third-party owner/developers to acquire communities developed
by such owner/developers. PTR has and will fund such developments through
mortgage loans on the communities. For financial reporting purposes, these
transactions are recorded as real estate developments rather than mortgage
loans due to PTR's commitment to acquire these properties upon completion.
 
In addition, to provide greater flexibility for the use of land acquired for
development and to facilitate disposition of excess parcels, PTR has and will
make mortgage loans to PTR Development Services Incorporated ("PTR Development
Services") to purchase land for development. PTR may also fund developments of
multifamily communities by PTR Development Services where the particular
community or submarket does not meet PTR's objectives for long-term ownership
but presents an attractive investment opportunity. PTR owns all of the
preferred stock of PTR Development Services, which entitles PTR to
substantially all of the net operating cash flow (95%) of PTR Development
Services. An unaffiliated trust owns all of the common stock of PTR Development
Services. The common stock is entitled to receive the remaining 5% of net
operating cash flow.
 
As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of development and mortgage
loans made by PTR to third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services
aggregated $127.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively. The activities of
third-party owner/developers and PTR Development Services are consolidated with
PTR's activities and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
Gains and Provision for Loss on Real Estate and Investments
Each year, REIT Management formulates operating and capital plans based on an
ongoing active review of PTR's portfolio. Based in part upon the market
research provided by Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated and in
an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, PTR may from time to time seek
to dispose of assets that in management's view no longer meet PTR's long-term
investment objectives. The proceeds from these selected dispositions will be
redeployed, typically through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that in PTR's
view offer better long-term cash flow growth prospects. As a result of this
asset optimization strategy, PTR disposed of 22 multifamily communities and one
industrial building during 1996, representing aggregate net proceeds of $291.1
million, and disposed of one multifamily property in the fourth quarter of
1995, representing net proceeds of $8.8 million. For federal income tax
purposes, the majority of the dispositions were structured as tax-deferred
exchanges which deferred gain recognition. For financial reporting purposes,
however, the transactions qualified for profit recognition and aggregate gains
of $37.5 million and $2.6 million were recorded for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by PTR effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, PTR
did not recognize any losses on the date it adopted SFAS No. 121.
 
As part of PTR's asset optimization strategy, 19 communities and two non-
multifamily properties were held for disposition as of December 31, 1996. The
aggregate carrying value of properties held for disposition was $178.9 million
at December 31, 1996. Each property's carrying value is less than or equal to
its estimated fair market

value, net of estimated costs to sell. Such properties are not depreciated
during the period for which they are determined to be held for disposition.
Subject to normal closing risks, PTR expects to complete the disposition of all
properties during 1997 and redeploy the net proceeds from such dispositions
through tax-deferred exchanges into the acquisition of multifamily communities.
The earnings from operations for properties held for dispositions which are
included in PTR's earnings from operations for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $15.8
million, $15.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
 
PTR's other real estate investments are periodically evaluated for impairment
and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As a result of such
evaluation, PTR recorded a provision for possible loss of $220,000 and
$1,600,000 during 1995 and 1994, respectively, relating to a non-multifamily
investment which was subsequently sold in October 1995. Also, during 1995 it
was determined that PTR could potentially be liable for certain maintenance
items under the terms of a 1993 master lease agreement on a non-multifamily
property which resulted in the recording of an estimated provision for loss of
$200,000. The recording of a provision for loss has no impact on cash flow from
operating activities. As of December 31, 1996, PTR's real estate investments
were carried at depreciated cost, which is not in excess of estimated fair
market value.
 
(5) MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
Homestead Convertible Mortgage Notes
In connection with the Homestead transaction described in Note 2 and pursuant
to fundings which have occurred under the funding commitment agreement, PTR
holds Homestead Notes. The Homestead Notes were created under a master facility
providing for aggregate fundings of up to $198.8 million in exchange for
Homestead Notes with a face amount of up to $221.3 million. Under the terms of
the funding commitment agreement, PTR receives approximately $1.00 in principal
amount of Homestead Notes for every $.90 funded (i.e., the Homestead Notes are
issued at a discount). The discount is amortized into interest income over the
term of the Homestead Notes using a method which approximates the effective
interest method. Maximum fundings are established for each individual
development project and specific liens are recorded to secure payment. The
Homestead Notes are cross-collateralized, which enables PTR to foreclose or
take possession of any one or more of the underlying properties upon the
occurrence of an event of default. The Homestead Notes require semi-annual
interest-only payments at 9% per annum of the face amount of the Homestead
Notes outstanding, are callable at the option of Homestead after 5 years and
mature on October 31, 2006.
 
The Homestead Notes are convertible into Homestead common stock after March 31,
1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
principal amount outstanding, subject to adjustment. The initial value
attributed to the conversion feature has been recorded as an additional
component of the Homestead Notes' balance and the corresponding discount is
being amortized into interest income over the term of the Homestead Notes using
a method which approximates the effective interest method. The difference
between the fair value of the Homestead Notes (assuming conversion), based upon
the trading price of Homestead's common stock on the American Stock Exchange at
December 31, 1996, ($18.00) and the amortized cost of the Homestead Notes is
reflected as an additional component of the Homestead Notes' balance and as an
unrealized holding gain in Shareholders' Equity.
 
As described in Note 2, PTR also received Homestead warrants in exchange for
entering into the funding commitment agreement. The warrants were distributed
to PTR shareholders with the Homestead common stock. The value associated with
the receipt of the Homestead warrants has been recorded as deferred revenue
which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying
1996 Balance Sheet and is being amortized into interest income using a method
which approximates the effective interest method over the term of the Homestead
Notes.
 
The effective interest rate on the Homestead Notes as a percentage of the
"funded" balance, including amortization of discount and deferred revenue, is
approximately 12.4% per annum (10.7% excluding conversion feature and warrant-
related amortization).

(6) BORROWINGS
 
Credit Facilities
PTR has a $350 million unsecured revolving line of credit with Texas Commerce
Bank, National Association ("TCB"), as agent for a group of financial
institutions (collectively, the "Lenders"). The line matures August 1998 and
may be extended annually for an additional year with the approval of the
Lenders. The line of credit bears interest at the greater of prime (8.25% at
December 31, 1996) or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or at PTR's option,
LIBOR (5.50% at December 31, 1996) plus 1.125% (6.625% at December 31, 1996).
The spread over LIBOR can vary from LIBOR plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.50% based
upon the rating of PTR's senior unsecured debt. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance. The commitment
fee was $396,000, $502,000 and $224,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
 
A summary of PTR's line of credit borrowings is as follows (dollars in

Covenants
PTR's debt instruments generally contain certain covenants common to the type
of facility or borrowing, including financial covenants establishing minimum
debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan to value ratios. PTR was in
compliance with all covenants pertaining to its debt instruments at December
31, 1996.
 
(7) DISTRIBUTIONS
 
PTR's distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a conservative
percentage of cash flow while maintaining its status as a REIT which generally
requires annual distributions of at least 95% of PTR's taxable income.
 
PTR announces the following year's projected annual distribution level after
the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year. At its
December 10, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced an increase in the annual
distribution level from $1.24 to $1.30 per Common Share and declared the first
quarter 1997 distribution of $0.325 per Common Share. The first quarter
distribution was paid on February 20, 1997 to shareholders of record on
February 7, 1997. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of
the Board and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results
of PTR.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares, PTR is restricted from declaring
or paying any distribution with respect to its Common Shares unless all
cumulative distributions with respect to the Preferred Shares have been paid
and sufficient funds have been set aside for Preferred Share distributions that
have been declared.
 
PTR made total cash distributions of $1.24 per Common Share in 1996, $1.15 per
Common Share in 1995 and $1.00 per Common Share in 1994. In addition, on
November 12, 1996, PTR distributed 0.125694 shares of Homestead common stock
and warrants to purchase 0.084326 shares of Homestead common stock per Common
Share in the Homestead Distribution to each holder of record of Common Shares
on October 29, 1996.
 
For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
cash distributions paid on the Common Shares in 1995 and 1994 and the estimated
taxability for 1996:

The Homestead securities distributed by PTR to each holder of Common Shares in
the Homestead Distribution were valued at $2.16 per PTR Common Share for
federal income tax purposes, of which $1.06 was taxable as ordinary income,
$0.19 was taxable as a capital gain and $0.91 was treated as a return of
capital.
 
On July 21, 1994, in addition to the normal Common Share distributions paid,
PTR redeemed the shareholder purchase rights issued pursuant to the Rights
Agreement dated as of February 23, 1990, as amended. Pursuant to the
redemption, each holder of record at the close of business on July 21, 1994 was
entitled to receive $0.01 per shareholder purchase right. The redemption price
was paid on August 12, 1994 and was taxable as ordinary income for federal
income tax purposes.

For federal income tax purposes, the following summaries reflect the taxability
of dividends paid on Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Cumulative

</TABLE>
 
Due to the increase in the conversion ratio (Note 8) resulting from the
Homestead Distribution to holders of Common Shares, holders of Series A
Preferred Shares were deemed to have received a distribution of $2.43 on
November 12, 1996 for federal income tax purposes. Of this amount, $1.19 was
taxable as ordinary income, $0.22 was taxable as a capital gain and $1.02 was
treated as a return of capital.
 
PTR's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1996 has not been filed, and
the taxability information for 1996 is based upon the best available data.
PTR's tax returns for prior years have not been examined by the Internal
Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of the dividends is subject to
change.
 
(8) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
Shares of Beneficial Interest
At December 31, 1996, 150,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, par value
$1.00 per share, were authorized. The Board is authorized to issue, from the
authorized but unissued shares of PTR, preferred shares in series and to
establish from time to time the number of preferred shares to be included in
such series and to fix the designation and any preferences, conversion and
other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions,
qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of each
series.
 
Series A Preferred Shares
The Series A Preferred Shares issued in November 1993 have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference at
December 31, 1996 of $162.4 million plus any accrued but unpaid distributions.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting
rights under certain conditions. During 1996, 2,705,000 of PTR's Series A
Preferred Shares were converted, at the option of the holders, into 3,294,000
Common Shares (an implied conversion ratio of 1.2178 Common Shares for each
Series A Preferred Share, which is a combination of the original conversion
ratio of 1.2162 and the adjusted ratio discussed below).
 
As a result of the Homestead Distribution, PTR adjusted the conversion price of
its Series A Preferred Shares, effective as of the opening of business on
October 30, 1996, from $20.556 to $18.561 per Common Share (a conversion ratio
of 1.3469 Common Shares for each Series A Preferred Share), as required by the
Articles Supplementary governing the Series A Preferred Shares. Distributions
on the Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative in an amount per share equal to
the greater of $1.75 per annum or the annualized quarterly PTR distribution
rate on the Common Shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares are
convertible. The Series A Preferred Share dividends are payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December
 
                                      F-60
<PAGE>
 
                         SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
of each year. Based on the projected 1997 distribution level of $1.30 per
Common Share, the projected 1997 dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares is
$1.751 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of
PTR after November 30, 2003.
 
Series B Preferred Shares
The Series B Preferred Shares issued in May 1995 have a liquidation preference
of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation preference of $105.0 million
plus any accrued but unpaid distributions. The net proceeds (after underwriting
commissions and other offering costs) to PTR from the sale of the Series B
Preferred Shares were $101.4 million. On and after May 24, 2000, the Series B
Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash at the option of PTR, in whole or in
part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid
distributions, if any, to the redemption date. The redemption price (other than
the portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable
solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of PTR, which may
include shares of other series of preferred shares. The holders of the Series B
Preferred Shares have no preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the
capital securities of PTR or any other securities of PTR convertible into or
carrying rights or options to purchase any such shares. The Series B Preferred
Shares have no stated maturity and are not subject to any sinking fund or other
obligation of PTR to redeem or retire the Series B Preferred Shares and are not
convertible into any other securities of PTR. In addition, holders of the
Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the
Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions,
cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 9% of the liquidation
preference per annum (equivalent to $2.25 per share). Such distributions are
cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable quarterly in arrears
on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
 
Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are collectively
referred to as "Preferred Shares." The net proceeds from the sale of Preferred
Shares were used primarily for the acquisition, development and renovation of
multifamily communities, and to repay revolving credit balances incurred for
such purposes.
 
Both series of Preferred Shares rank on a parity as to distributions and
liquidation proceeds.
 
All dividends due and payable on Preferred Shares have been accrued and paid as
of the end of each fiscal year and, accordingly, are reflected in the
accompanying financial statements.
 
Option Plan
In January 1987, PTR adopted its Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the
"1987 Plan"). There are 200,000 Common Shares reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options which could have been granted to independent Trustees under
the 1987 Plan. All options granted are for a term of five years and are
exercisable in whole or in part. The exercise price of the options granted may
not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. At December 31,
1996, there were 32,000 options for Common Shares outstanding and exercisable
under the 1987 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $10.625 to $21.50 per
Common Share. No further options may be granted under the 1987 Plan.
 
Outstanding Warrants
As a result of the Merger discussed in Note 3, warrants to acquire 140,530
Common Shares at an exercise price of $14.21 per share were outstanding as of
December 31, 1996. These warrants are subject to adjustment to prevent dilution
and expire on November 8, 1999.
 
Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder
PTR's Restated Declaration of Trust and the Articles Supplementary governing
the Preferred Shares restrict beneficial ownership (or ownership generally
attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of PTR's outstanding shares by
a single person, or persons acting as a group, to 9.8% of the Common Shares and
25% of each series of Preferred Shares. The purpose of these provisions are to
assist in protecting and preserving PTR's REIT status and to protect the
interests of shareholders in takeover transactions by preventing the
acquisition of a substantial block of shares unless the acquiror makes a cash
tender offer for all outstanding shares. For PTR to qualify as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, not more than 50% in value of its
outstanding capital shares
 
                                      F-61
<PAGE>
 
                         SECURITY CAPITAL PACIFIC TRUST
 
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
may be owned by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of
PTR's taxable year. The provision permits five persons to acquire up to a
maximum of 9.8% each of the Common Shares, or an aggregate of 49% of the
outstanding Common Shares, and thus assists the Trustees in protecting and
preserving PTR's REIT status for tax purposes.
 
Common Shares owned by a person or group of persons in excess of the 9.8% limit
are subject to redemption by PTR. The provision does not apply where a majority
of the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, waives such limit after
determining that the eligibility of PTR to qualify as a REIT for federal income
tax purposes will not be jeopardized or the disqualification of PTR as a REIT
is advantageous to the shareholders.
 
The Board has permitted Security Capital, the owner of the REIT Manager (see
Note 9), to acquire up to 49% of PTR's fully converted Common Shares. Security
Capital Group's ownership of Common Shares is attributed for tax purposes to
its shareholders. Security Capital Group owned 36.3% of PTR's total outstanding
Common Shares at December 31, 1996. Pursuant to an agreement between Security
Capital Group and PTR, Security Capital Group has agreed to acquire no more
than 49% of the fully converted Common Shares except pursuant to an all-cash
tender offer for all Common Shares held open for 90 days. Security Capital
Group would have no limitation on making a tender offer if an unrelated third
party commences such a tender offer.
 
Purchase Rights
In 1994, the Board authorized the distribution of one preferred share purchase
right (a "Purchase Right") for each Common Share outstanding at the close of
business on July 21, 1994. Holders of additional Common Shares issued after
July 21, 1994 and prior to the expiration of the Purchase Rights on July 21,
2004 will be entitled to one Purchase Right for each additional Common Share.
 
Each Purchase Right entitles the holder under certain circumstances to purchase
from PTR one one-hundredth of a share of a series of Junior Participating
Preferred Shares, par value $1.00 per share (the "Participating Preferred
Shares"), at a price of $60.00 per one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred
Share, subject to adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or
group of persons acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the fully
converted Common Shares (49% in the case of Security Capital Group and certain
defined affiliates), commences or announces a tender offer or exchange offer
which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons
of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of Security
Capital Group and certain defined affiliates) or files or announces their
intention to file with any regulatory authority an application seeking approval
of any transaction which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person
of 25% or more of the outstanding Common Shares (49% in the case of Security
Capital Group and certain defined affiliates). Under certain circumstances,
each Purchase Right entitles the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's
then current exercise price, a number of Common Shares having a market value of
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition of PTR pursuant to
certain mergers or other business transactions would entitle each holder to
purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of the
acquiring company's common shares having a market value at that time equal to
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights will expire in
July 2004 and are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, at a price
of $0.01 per Purchase Right payable in cash, shares of PTR or any other form of
consideration determined by the Board.
 
Shelf Registration
On September 27, 1996, PTR filed a $300 million shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities can be issued in
the form of unsecured debt and preferred shares of beneficial interest on an
as-needed basis, subject to PTR's ability to effect an offering on satisfactory
terms. As of December 31, 1996, $170 million in securities were available to be
issued under this shelf registration.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
(9) REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
Effective March 1, 1991, PTR entered into a REIT management agreement (the
"REIT Management Agreement") with Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the
"REIT Manager"), pursuant to which the REIT Manager assumed day-to-day
management of PTR. All officers of PTR are employees of the REIT Manager and
PTR currently has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and
day-to-day management services to PTR, including research, investment analysis,
acquisition, development, dispositions, property management, capital markets,
legal, accounting and other administrative services. The REIT Manager is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Group (see Note 8).
 
The REIT Management Agreement requires PTR to pay a base annual fee of $855,000
plus 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement in excess of
$4,837,000, payable monthly. In the REIT Management Agreement, cash flow is
calculated by reference to PTR's cash flow from operations plus (i) fees paid
to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary expenses incurred at the request of the
independent Trustees of PTR and (iii) 33% of any interest paid by PTR on
convertible subordinated debentures (of which there has been none since
inception of the REIT Management Agreement); and after deducting (i) regularly
scheduled principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon payments) for
debt with commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii) actual or
assumed principal and interest payments on long-term debt, (iii) interest
income received in connection with the Homestead Notes resulting from the
Homestead transaction discussed in Notes 2 and 5 and (iv) distributions
actually paid with respect to any nonconvertible preferred shares of beneficial
interest of PTR. The REIT Management Agreement provides that the long-term
unsecured debt described in Note 6 is treated as if it had regularly scheduled
principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year, level monthly payment,
fully amortizing mortgage, and the assumed principal and interest payments are
deducted from cash flow in determining the fee. Cash flow does not include
dividend and interest income from PTR Development Services, realized gains or
losses from dispositions of investments or income from cash equivalent
investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.25% per year on the
average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
 
PTR is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for certain expenses incurred by
the REIT Manager on behalf of PTR relating to PTR's operations, consisting
primarily of external professional fees, offering costs and travel expenses.
 
The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by PTR annually, subject to a
determination by the independent Trustees (who receive performance benchmark
information verified by an independent third party) that the REIT Manager's
performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the REIT
Manager is fair. Each of PTR and the REIT Manager may terminate the REIT
Management Agreement on 60 days' notice.
 
SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"), a subsidiary of
Security Capital, has managed and currently manages a substantial majority of
PTR's operating multifamily communities (91.3% as of January 29, 1997, based on
total expected investment). Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty Services"), a subsidiary of Security Capital, managed all of PTR's
operating Homestead Village(R) extended-stay lodging assets through October 17,
1996 (See Note 2).
 
PTR recently announced that it received a proposal from Security Capital to
exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Common Shares. As a
result of the proposed transaction, PTR would become an internally managed REIT
and Security Capital would remain PTR's largest shareholder. The Board has
formed a special committee comprised of independent Trustees to review the
proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by both
the special committee and the full Board. If the Board approves the
transaction, a proxy statement, subject to review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, will be mailed to PTR's common shareholders prior to a
shareholder vote on the proposed transaction.

(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
PTR is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. PTR does not believe that the results of any of such claims
and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
PTR is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence investigation procedures, PTR has conducted Phase I environmental
assessments on each property prior to acquisition since 1984. The cost of
complying with environmental regulations was not material to PTR's results of
operations for any of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. PTR is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its communities
which is likely to have a material adverse effect on PTR's financial condition
or results of operations.
 
See Notes 4 and 5 for development and acquisition commitments.

(12) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The following disclosures of estimated fair value of financial instruments was
determined by PTR based on available market information and valuation
methodologies believed to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable
judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these
estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that
PTR could realize upon disposition.
 
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amount of certain financial
instruments employed by PTR, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their
fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Similarly,
the carrying value of lines of credit balances approximates fair value as of
those dates since the interest rate fluctuates based on published market rates.
As discussed in Note 5, the Homestead Notes outstanding at December 31, 1996
are reflected at fair value in the accompanying balance sheet. PTR believes the
carrying value of the other mortgage notes receivable approximates fair value.
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, based on the borrowings available to PTR, the
carrying value of the long-term debt and mortgages was a reasonable estimation
of their fair values.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
PTR has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading purposes. PTR occasionally utilizes derivative
financial instruments as hedges in anticipation of future transactions to
manage well-defined interest rate risk.
 
In anticipation of a 1997 debt offering, PTR entered into interest rate
contracts in 1996 with notional amounts aggregating $50 million which PTR plans
to terminate when the anticipated offering is completed. As of December 31,
1996, the fair value of these interest rate contracts was an unrealized loss of
approximately $831,000 (approximately $69,250 as of March 10, 1997) based on
quoted market prices or estimates obtained from brokers. There were no
derivative financial instruments outstanding as of December 31, 1995.
 
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
On March 10, 1997, PTR borrowed $60 million under a short-term borrowing
agreement with a financial institution. The loan matures on September 10, 1997,
but provides for early repayment at PTR's option on the 10th day of each month
during the term. Interest is payable monthly at an annual rate of LIBOR plus
0.60% (6.0375% at March 10, 1997). These proceeds were used to pay down PTR's
$350 million line of credit which had an outstanding balance of $151.5 million
after the paydown on March 10, 1997.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Security Capital Industrial Trust:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Capital Industrial Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust'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 Security Capital Industrial
Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                       SECURITY CAPITAL INDUSTRIAL TRUST
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
 
Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a Maryland real estate investment
trust ("REIT"), is a national operating company focused exclusively on meeting
the distribution space needs of national, regional and local industrial real
estate users through the SCI National Operating System(TM). SCI engages in the
acquisition, development, marketing, operation and long-term ownership of
distribution facilities, and the development of master-planned distribution
parks and build-to-suit facilities for its customers. SCI's operating strategy
is to provide an exceptional level of services to its existing and prospective
customers on a national, regional and local basis. SCI deploys capital in
markets with excellent long-term growth prospects where SCI can achieve a
strong market position through the acquisition and development of generic,
flexible facilities designed for both warehousing and light manufacturing uses.
As of December 31, 1996, SCI's portfolio contained 80.6 million square feet in
942 operating buildings and had an additional 5.9 million square feet under
development in 47 buildings for a total of 86.5 million square feet in 36
target market cities. SCI completed its initial public offering on March 31,
1994.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
REIT Organization Status
In January 1993, SCI was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust. In
February 1993, Security Capital Industrial Investors Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation, was merged with and into SCI. SCI has made an election to be taxed
as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution and
income, asset and shareholder tests are met. During 1996, 1995 and 1994, SCI
was in compliance with the REIT requirements. Thus, no federal income tax
provision has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of SCI,
its subsidiaries and its majority-owned and controlled partnerships (SCI has no
unconsolidated subsidiaries or minority ownership interests). The effects of
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts included in the
consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to
conform with the 1996 financial statement presentation.
 
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.
 
Real Estate and Depreciation
Real estate is carried at cost. Costs directly related to the acquisition,
renovation or development of real estate are capitalized and are depreciated
over the following useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
             <S>                  <C>
             Tenant improvements  10 years
             Acquired buildings   30 years
             Developed buildings  40 years
</TABLE>
 
Depreciation is computed using a straight-line method. Certain real estate was
acquired through formation of partnerships (see Note 5) wherein SCI contributed
cash and the limited partners contributed real estate in exchange for
partnership units which are ultimately exchangeable for SCI's Common Shares of
beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Shares"). In
consolidating the partnerships' assets, real estate cost includes the estimated
fair value attributable to the limited partners' interests at the acquisition
dates because (1) SCI's cash contributions constituted over 50% of the
acquisition prices, (2) the acquisitions were from unrelated third-parties and
(3) the limited partners were not considered "promoters" under SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin 48. The limited partners' interests will be reflected as
minority interest in the consolidated financial statements until the units are
exchanged for SCI Common Shares. In management's opinion, real estate assets
are not carried at amounts in excess of their estimated net realizable values.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 1996, SCI adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," ("SFAS No. 121") which had no material
impact on its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 121 establishes
accounting standards for the review for impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used, whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable,
and requires that certain long-lived assets to be disposed of be reported at
the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
 
Capitalized Interest
SCI capitalizes interest costs incurred during the land development or
construction period of qualifying projects.
 
Deferred Loan Fees
Included in other assets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are costs of $9.2
million and $6.8 million, respectively, associated with obtaining financing
(see Note 4) which have been capitalized and are being amortized (to interest
expense or capitalized interest, as appropriate) over the life of the loan
using the effective interest rate method.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and funds invested
in money market funds.
 
Minority Interest
Minority interest is carried at cost and represents limited partners' interests
in various real estate partnerships controlled by SCI. As discussed in Real
Estate and Depreciation, certain minority interests are carried at the pro rata
share of the estimated fair value of property at the acquisition dates. Common
Shares of SCI issued upon exchange of limited partnership units will be
accounted for at the cost of the minority interest surrendered.
 
Earnings per Share
Per share data is computed based on the weighted average number of Common
Shares outstanding during the period. Exercise of outstanding warrants and
options to acquire 29,764 Common Shares would not have a material dilutive
effect on earnings per share. The conversion of the limited partnership units
(see Note 5) and the Series B Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred
Shares, par value $.01 per share ("Series B Preferred Shares"), into Common
Shares is not assumed since the effect would not be dilutive.
 
Interest Rate Contracts
SCI utilizes various interest rate contracts to hedge interest rate risk on
anticipated debt offerings. These anticipatory hedges are designated, and
effective, as hedges of identified debt issuances which have a high probability
of occurring. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of
these contracts are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life
of the related debt issuance.

</TABLE>
 
Capitalized preacquisition costs include $1,634,000 and $2,137,000 of funds on
deposit with title companies as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
for property acquisitions.
 
Other real estate income consists primarily of gains on disposition of
undepreciated property and fees and other income from build-to-suit customers
generated to a large extent by SCI Development Services Incorporated ("SCI
Development Services"). SCI Development Services develops build-to-suit
distribution space facilities or works on a fee basis for customers whose space
needs do not meet SCI's strict investment criteria for long-term ownership.
Through its preferred stock ownership, SCI will realize substantially all
economic benefits of SCI Development Services' activities. The activities of
SCI Development Services are consolidated with SCI and all intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. As of December 31, 1996, the outstanding
balances of development and mortgage loans made by SCI to SCI Development
Services for the purchase of distribution facilities and land for distribution
facility development aggregated $162.0 million. SCI Development Services pays
federal and state taxes at the applicable corporate rate.
 
The REIT Manager provides SCI Development Services with day-to-day management
for a fee based on 16% of SCI Development Services' pre-tax cash flow,
including gains and losses realized on property sales. The fee incurred for
1996 was approximately $1.3 million. Dividends and interest paid by SCI
Development Services to SCI are excluded from SCI's cash flow for determining
the REIT management fee paid by SCI.
 
SCI leases its properties to customers under agreements which are classified as
operating leases. The leases generally provide for payment of all or a portion
of utilities, property taxes and insurance by the customer. SCI's largest
customer accounted for less than 1.5% of SCI's 1996 rental income (on an
annualized basis), and the annualized base rent for SCI's 20 largest customers
accounted for less than 12.9% of SCI's 1996 rental income (on an annualized
basis). Minimum lease payments receivable on non-cancelable leases with lease
periods greater than one year are as follows (in thousands):

In addition to the December 31, 1996 construction payable accrual of $24.6
million, SCI had unfunded commitments on its contracts for developments under
construction totaling $106.6 million. These commitments relate to development
activity in Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, East Bay (San
Francisco), Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville, Orange
County, CA, Orlando, Portland, Rio Grande Valley, Salt Lake City, San Antonio,
Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C./Baltimore.

Line of Credit
SCI has a $350.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A. (as agent for a bank group). Borrowings bear
interest at SCI's option, at either (a) the greater of the federal funds rate
plus 0.5% and the prime rate, or (b) LIBOR plus 1.25% based upon SCI's current
senior debt ratings. The prime rate was 8.25% and the 30 day LIBOR rate was
5.50% at December 31, 1996. Additionally, there is a commitment fee ranging
from .125% to .25% per annum of the unused line of credit balance. The line is
scheduled to mature in May 1998 and may be extended annually for an additional
year with the approval of NationsBank and the other participating lenders; if
not extended, at SCI's election, the facility will either (a) convert to a
three-year term note or (b) continue on a revolving basis with the remaining
one-year maturity. All debt incurrences are subject to a covenant that SCI
maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 1 to 1.
Additionally, SCI is required to maintain an adjusted net worth (as defined) of
at least $1.0 billion, to maintain interest payment coverage of not less than 2
to 1 and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.4 to 1.
SCI is in compliance with all covenants contained in the line of credit, and as
of February 10, 1997, no borrowings were outstanding on the line of credit.
 
A summary of SCI's line of credit borrowings is as follows for the years ended
December 31, (in thousands):

All of the foregoing Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of SCI, in
whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal
amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the

relative to market yields available at redemption. The Notes are governed by
the terms and provisions of an indenture agreement (the "Indenture") between
SCI and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee.
 
Under the terms of the Indenture, SCI can incur additional debt only if, after
giving effect to the debt being incurred and application of proceeds therefrom,
(i) the ratio of debt to total assets, as defined in the Indenture, does not
exceed 60%, (ii) the ratio of secured debt to total assets, as defined in the
Indenture, does not exceed 40% and (iii) SCI's pro forma interest coverage
ratio, as defined in the Indenture, for the four preceding fiscal quarters is
not less than 1.5:1. In addition, SCI may not at any time own total
unencumbered assets, as defined in the Indenture, equal to less than 150% of
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of SCI's unsecured debt. At December
31, 1996, SCI was in compliance with all debt covenants contained in the
Indenture.

5. MINORITY INTEREST:
 
Minority interest represents limited partners' interests in five real estate
partnerships controlled by SCI.
 
SCI owns a 70.0% general partnership interest in Red Mountain Joint Venture,
which owns approximately $3 million of property in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 
On December 22, 1993, SCI acquired a 68.7% controlling general partnership
interest in SCI Limited Partnership-I, which owns distribution facilities
primarily in the San Francisco Bay area. Limited partners are entitled to
exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly
distribution in respect of Common Shares. At December 31, 1996, 4,520,533
limited partnership units were outstanding and no units had been exchanged.
 
During the first two quarters of 1994, SCI acquired an 81.2% controlling
general partnership interest in SCI Limited Partnership-II, which owns
distribution facilities primarily in Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, El Paso
and the San Francisco Bay area. Limited partners are entitled to exchange each
partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive preferential
cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly distribution
in respect of Common Shares. During the third quarter of 1995, certain limited
partners in SCI Limited Partnership-II exercised their conversion rights to
exchange partnership units for Common Shares on a one for one basis. As a
result of these conversions, SCI's general partnership interest in SCI Limited
Partnership-II increased to 97.4%, and SCI's outstanding Common Shares
increased by 555,651 shares. As of December 31, 1996, there were 90,213 limited
partnership units outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-II.
 
In October 1994, SCI acquired a 50.4% controlling general partnership interest
in SCI Limited Partnership-III, which owns distribution facilities primarily in
Tampa, Florida. During 1995, SCI contributed an additional $11.9 million to
this partnership for asset acquisitions which increased SCI's general
partnership interest to 71.8%. During 1996, SCI contributed $4.2 million for a
property acquisition in San Antonio, Texas which increased SCI's general
partnership interest from 71.8% to 75.6%. Limited partners are entitled to
exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative quarterly distributions per unit equal to the quarterly
distribution in respect of Common Shares. As of December 31, 1996, there were
514,900 limited partnership units outstanding in SCI Limited Partnership-III
and no units had been exchanged.
 
In October 1994, SCI IV, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCI, made a $27.5
million cash contribution to SCI Limited Partnership-IV, a Delaware limited
partnership ("Partnership-IV"), in exchange for a 96.36% general partner
interest in Partnership-IV, and third party investors that were not affiliated
with SCI contributed an aggregate of $1.0 million in assets to Partnership-IV
in exchange for limited partner interests totalling 3.6% in Partnership-IV. SCI
contributed an additional $150,000 to the partnership in 1996 in conjunction
with a Section 1031 exchange transaction which increased SCI's interest from
96.36% to 96.38%. SCI IV, Inc., as general partner, manages the activities of
Partnership-IV and has fiduciary responsibilities to Partnership-IV and its
other partners.
 
Both Partnership-IV and SCI IV, Inc. are legal entities that are separate and
distinct from SCI, its affiliates and each other, and each has separate assets,
liabilities, business functions and operations. The assets owned by
Partnership-IV consist of income-producing, improved real property located in
Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. The sole assets owned by SCI IV, Inc. are its
general partner advances to and interest in Partnership-IV. SCI and its
affiliates had no borrowings from Partnership-IV at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Partnership-IV had $1,384,000 and $283,000 of borrowings from SCI IV, Inc. at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. SCI IV, Inc. had $1,384,000 and
$283,000 of borrowings from SCI and its affiliates at December 31, 1996 and

flows of each of Partnership-IV and SCI IV, Inc. are included in SCI's
consolidated financial statements, and the third party investors' interests in
Partnership-IV are reflected as minority interest. Limited partners are
entitled to exchange each partnership unit for one Common Share and are

6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
On November 13, 1996, SCI issued 2,000,000 Series C Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Shares (the "Series C Preferred Shares"). The Series C Preferred
Shares have a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share for an aggregate
liquidation preference of $100.0 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The
net proceeds (after underwriting commission and other offering costs) of the
Series C Preferred Shares issued were $97.1 million. Holders of the Series C
Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by SCI's
Board of Trustees (the "Board"), out of funds legally available for payment of
distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at a rate of 8.54% of
the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $4.27 per share). On or
after November 13, 2026, the Series C Preferred Shares may be redeemed for cash
at the option of SCI. The redemption price (other than the portion thereof
consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable solely out of the
sale proceeds of other capital shares of SCI, which may include shares of other
series of preferred shares.
 
On August 21, 1996, SCI commenced a rights offering to sell 6,787,806 Common
Shares at $17.25 per Common Share and also authorized an additional 3,393,903
Common Shares for oversubscriptions or third party subscribers. In September
1996, SCI issued 7,865,645 Common Shares of the 10,181,709 Common Shares
subscribed for and recorded subscriptions receivable of $40.0 million. In
October 1996, 2,316,064 Common Shares were issued and all subscriptions
receivable were collected. Gross proceeds from the offering totaled $175.6
million.
 
On September 24, 1996, SCI offered 2,036,342 Common Shares to third party
subscribers in the rights offering that were not accepted in whole or in part
due to demand in excess of the Common Shares offered. All of the Common Shares
were subscribed for as of September 30, 1996 and subscriptions receivable for
gross proceeds of $35.1 million recorded. In October 1996, all of such Common
Shares were issued and all subscriptions receivable were collected.
 
Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), an affiliate of SCI's
REIT Manager, purchased 3,734,240 Common Shares in connection with the
September rights offering at the same price paid by the public. As of December
31, 1996, Security Capital owned 46.0% of SCI's outstanding 93,676,546 Common
Shares.
 
In February 1996, SCI issued a total of 8,050,000 Series B Cumulative
Convertible Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Series B Preferred Shares"). The
Series B Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share for
an aggregate liquidation preference of $201.3 million plus any accrued and
unpaid dividends. Holders of the Series B Preferred Shares are only entitled to
limited voting rights under certain conditions. The Series B Preferred Shares
are convertible at any time, unless previously redeemed, at the option of the
holders thereof into Common Shares at a conversion price of $19.50 per share
(equivalent to a conversion rate of 1.282 Common Shares for each Series B
Preferred Share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Holders of
the Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared
by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of distributions,
cumulative preferential cash distributions in an amount per share equal to the
greater of 7% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $1.75 per
share) or the distribution on the Common Shares, or portion thereof, into which
a Series B Preferred Share is convertible. Distributions on the Series B
Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of
each year. The Series B Preferred Shares are redeemable at the option of SCI on
or after February 21, 2001.

81,416,451 Common Shares.
 
On June 21, 1995, SCI issued 5,400,000 Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Shares (the "Series A Preferred Shares"). The Series A Preferred Shares have a
liquidation preference of $25.00 per share for an aggregate liquidation
preference of $135.0 million plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The net
proceeds (after underwriting commission and other offering costs) of the Series
A Preferred Shares issued were $130.4 million. Holders of the Series A
Preferred Shares are entitled only to limited voting rights under certain
conditions. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available
for the payment of distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at
the rate of 9.4% of the liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to $2.35
per share). Such distributions are cumulative from the date of original issue
and are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September,
and December of each year. The Series A Preferred Shares are redeemable at the
option of SCI on or after June 21, 2000. The redemption price (other than the
portion thereof consisting of accrued and unpaid distributions) is payable
solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital shares of SCI, which may
include shares of other series of preferred shares.
 
In October and November 1994, SCI completed an offering of 18,000,000 Common
Shares at a price of $15.25 per share. 17,750,000 Common Shares were issued on
October 5, 1994, and 250,000 Common Shares were issued on November 17, 1994.
9,800,000 of the Common Shares were purchased by Security Capital, at the same
price paid by the public, with no underwriting discount or commission ($149.5
million). 8,200,000 of the Common Shares were sold through an underwritten
offering at $15.25 per share. The underwriting discount on these Common Shares
was $0.80 per share. After additional costs of the offering, net proceeds to
SCI were $266.9 million.
 
On June 29, 1994, SCI completed a rights offering and issued 6,611,571 Common
Shares at $15.125 per share ($100 million). Security Capital purchased
3,517,483 Common Shares in this offering (53% of the shares sold). On March 31,
1994, SCI completed its initial public offering and sold 3,260,870 Common
Shares at $11.50 per share ($37.5 million). Security Capital purchased 523,370
Common Shares in this offering (16% of the shares sold).
 
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
In March 1995, SCI adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the
"1995 Plan"), which commenced in April 1995. The 1995 Plan allows holders of
Common Shares the opportunity to acquire additional Common Shares by
automatically reinvesting distributions. Common Shares are acquired pursuant to
the 1995 Plan at a price equal to 98% of the market price of such Common
Shares, without payment of any brokerage commission or service charge. The 1995
Plan also allows participating common shareholders to purchase a limited number
of additional Common Shares at 98% of the market price of such Common Shares,
by making optional cash payments, without payment of any brokerage commission
or service charge. Holders of Common Shares who do not participate in the 1995
Plan continue to receive distributions as declared.
 
Option Plan
In April 1994, SCI adopted its Share Option Plan for Outside Trustees (the
"Outside Trustees Plan"). Under the Outside Trustees Plan, there are 100,000
Common Shares approved which can be granted to non-employee Trustees. All
options granted are for a term of five years and are immediately exercisable in
whole or in part. The exercise price of the options granted may not be less
than the fair market value on the date of the grant. At December 31, 1996 there
were 18,000 options for Common Shares outstanding and exercisable under the
Outside Trustees Plan at exercise prices of $15.50, $16.00, and $17.50.
 
SCI adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 ("SFAS 123") "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" during 1996. Under
the provisions of this statement, SCI will continue to account for the Outside
Trustees Plan under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, and make the pro
forma disclosures required by SFAS 123 where applicable. The effect of adopting
this statement was immaterial to SCI's consolidated financial statements.

Shareholder Purchase Rights
On December 7, 1993, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right ("Right") for each outstanding Common Share to be distributed to
all holders of record of the Common Shares on December 31, 1993. Each Right
entitles the registered holder to purchase one-hundredth of a Participating
Preferred Share for an exercise price of $40.00 per one-hundredth of a
Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights
Agreement. The Rights will generally be exercisable only if a person or group
(other than certain affiliates of SCI) acquires 20% or more of the Common
Shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of the Common Shares. Under
certain circumstances, upon a shareholder acquisition of 20% or more of the
Common Shares (other than certain affiliates of SCI), each Right will entitle
the holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of
Common Shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. The
acquisition of SCI pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions
will entitle each holder of a Right to purchase, at the Right's then-current
exercise price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a
market value at that time equal to twice the Right's exercise price. The Rights
held by certain 20% shareholders will not be exercisable. The Rights will
expire on December 7, 2003, unless the expiration date of the Rights is
extended, and the Rights are subject to redemption at a price of $0.01 per
Right under certain circumstances.
 
7. DISTRIBUTIONS:
 
The annual distribution per Common Share was $1.01 in 1996, $0.935 in 1995 and
$0.85 in 1994. Distributions attributable to realized gains on the disposition
of investments may be considered for payment to shareholders on a special, as-
incurred basis.
 
For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
distributions paid on Common Shares in 1995 and 1994 and the estimated
taxability for 1996:

On December 17, 1996, SCI declared a distribution of $0.2675 per Common Share
payable on February 18, 1997 to shareholders of record as of February 4, 1997.
At the same time, SCI announced that it set an annualized distribution level of
$1.07 per Common Share for 1997.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the preferred shares, SCI is restricted from declaring
or paying any distribution with respect to the Common Shares unless all
cumulative distributions with respect to the preferred shares have been paid
and sufficient funds have been set aside for distributions that have been
declared for the then-current distribution period with respect to the preferred
shares.

debentures (of which there has been none since inception of the REIT management
agreement); and, after deducting (iv) actual or assumed regularly scheduled
principal and interest payments on long-term debt and (v) distributions
actually paid with respect to any non-convertible preferred shares of
beneficial interest of SCI. The REIT management agreement has been amended so
that the long-term senior notes described in Note 4 will be treated as if they
had regularly scheduled principal and interest payments similar to a 20-year
level monthly payment, fully amortizing mortgage and the assumed principal and
interest payments will be deducted from cash flow in determining the fee for
future periods. Cash flow does not include interest and income from SCI
Development Services, realized gains from dispositions of investments or income
from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee of .2%
of the average daily balance of funds invested in interest bearing cash
accounts, the earnings on which are not subject to the 16% fee. For the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the REIT Manager earned REIT management
fees totalling $21,472,000, $14,207,000 and $8,673,000, respectively.
 
10. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY:
 
Commencing January 1994, SCI Client Services Incorporated ("Client Services"),
a subsidiary of Security Capital, began providing property management services
for certain of SCI's properties. The agreement is subject to termination by SCI
or Client Services on 30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of
SCI's independent Trustees, and provides for a monthly fee to Client Services
of no more than 3% per annum of property revenues, paid monthly, plus leasing
commissions consistent with industry practice, which together were $10.1
million, $4.7 million and $1.7 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
As of December 31, 1996, Client Services managed 90.0% of SCI's 80.6 million
total operating square feet. The REIT Manager anticipates that Client Services
will manage additional SCI properties in the future. Any management contracts
executed with Client Services are expected to be at terms management believes
are no less favorable to SCI than could be obtained with unaffiliated third
parties.

12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments
is presented in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107. The estimated
fair value amounts have been determined by SCI using available market
information and valuation methodologies.
 
As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the carrying amounts of certain financial
instruments employed by SCI, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and
notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of
their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. As
of December 31, 1995, based on the borrowings available to SCI, the carrying
value of the long-term debt and mortgages was a reasonable estimation of their
fair values. As of December 31, 1996, the fair value of the long-term debt and
mortgages has been estimated based on quoted market prices for the same or
similar issues or by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently
available for debt with similar terms and maturities. The increase in the fair
value of long-term debt and mortgages over the carrying value in the table
below is a result of a net reduction in the interest rates available to SCI at
December 31, 1996 from the interest rates in effect at the dates of issuance.
The long-term debt and many of the mortgages contain prepayment penalties or
yield maintenance provisions which would make the cost of refinancing exceed
the benefit of refinancing at the lower rates. As of December 31, 1996, the
fair value of all derivative financial instruments are amounts at which they
could be settled, based on quoted market prices or estimates obtained from
brokers (there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding as of
December 31, 1995). The following table reflects the carrying amount and
estimated fair value of SCI's financial instruments (in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments
SCI has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading purposes. SCI uses derivatives to manage well-defined
interest rate risk.

The primary risks associated with derivative instruments are market risk (price
risk) and credit risk. Price risk is defined as the potential for loss in the
value of the derivative due to adverse changes in market prices (interest
rates). SCI utilizes derivative instruments in anticipation of future
transactions to manage well defined interest rate risk. Through hedging, SCI
can effectively manage the risk of increases in interest rates on future debt
issuances.
 
Credit risk is the risk that one of the parties to a derivative contract fails
to perform or meet their financial obligation under the contract. SCI does not
obtain collateral to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but
monitors the credit standing of counterparties. As of December 31, 1996, the
counterparties to all outstanding contracts were financial institutions with AA
or A+ credit ratings. SCI does not anticipate non-performance by any of the
counterparties to its derivative contracts. Should a counterparty fail to
perform, however, SCI would incur a financial loss to the extent of the
positive fair market value of the derivative instruments.
 
The following table summarizes the activity in interest rate contracts for the
year ended December 31, 1996 (in millions):

(1) Included in the $106.0 million notional amount at December 31, 1996 are two
contracts totalling $80.0 million which settled on January 31, 1997 (see Note
14), and a $26.0 million contract with a termination date of July 15, 1997. The
$26.0 million contract locks in the 30 year Treasury at a rate of 6.56%.
(2) The remaining swap contract as of December 31, 1996, which matures in 2007,
provides for SCI to pay a fixed rate of 6.61% and receive a floating rate equal
to the three month LIBOR rate.
 
Deferred losses totalling $1.9 million on matured, expired or terminated
interest rate contracts were recorded on the balance sheet as of December 31,
1996. These losses related to the unwind of hedges placed for the May 1996 debt
offering (see Note 4) and are being amortized into interest expense over a
weighted-average amortization period of 10.8 years.
 
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
Environmental Matters
All of the properties acquired by SCI have been subjected to Phase I
environmental reviews. While some of these assessments have led to further
investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments has revealed,
nor is SCI aware of any environmental liability (including asbestos-related
liability) that SCI believes would have a material adverse effect on SCI's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
On January 22, 1997, SCI announced that it received a proposal from Security
Capital to exchange the REIT Manager and Client Services, the REIT manager's
property management affiliate, for Common Shares. As a result of the proposed
transaction, SCI would become an internally managed REIT, and Security Capital
would remain SCI's largest shareholder. SCI's Board has formed a special
committee comprised of independent Trustees to review the proposed transaction.
The proposed transaction is subject to approval by the special committee, the
full Board and SCI's shareholders.
 
On February 7, 1997, SCI completed a public offering of 4,025,000 Common
Shares. Net proceeds to SCI after underwriting discounts and offering costs
were $80.4 million.

On February 4, 1997, SCI issued $100.0 million of Series A 2015 Notes under its
Medium-Term Note program established in November 1996. The Series A 2015 Notes
bear interest at 7.81%, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1,
commencing August 1, 1997. Installments of principal will be paid annually on
each February 1, commencing February 1, 2010, in the following amounts: $20
million in 2010, $15 million in 2011, $15 million in 2012, $20 million in 2013,
$20 million in 2014 and $10 million in 2015. The Series A 2015 Notes have a
weighted-average life to maturity of 15.35 years and a final maturity extending
to 2015. The average effective interest cost is 7.73%, including all costs
associated with the offering plus $1.7 million in proceeds received on January
31, 1997 in connection with two interest rate protection agreements entered
into in August and November 1996 in anticipation of the debt offering. Both the
August 1996 and the November 1996 interest rate protection agreements were in
the form of a forward treasury lock agreement with an AA rated financial
institution. The August agreement included a notional principal amount of $30.0
million and a reference price of 99.653 on the thirty year Treasury Note. The
November agreement included a notional principal amount of $50.0 million and a
reference price of 101 29/32 on the ten year Treasury Note. The settlement date
on both contracts was January 31, 1997.
 
On October 11, 1996, and as amended on October 31, 1996, SCI filed a shelf
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding
the offering from time to time of $600 million in one or more series of its
debt securities, preferred shares of beneficial interest and Common Shares of
beneficial interest, and had approximately $78 million remaining under its
previous shelf registration statement. After the Series C Preferred Share
offering in November 1996 (see Note 6) and the offerings described above, as of
February 10, 1997, approximately $393 million in securities were available to
be issued under the shelf registration statement.

                                AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Shareholders of
SECURITY CAPITAL U.S. REALTY
Luxembourg
 
We have audited the consolidated financial statements, which consist of the
consolidated statement of net assets, the consolidated statement of operations,
the consolidated statement of changes in net assets, the consolidated statement
of cash flows, the consolidated statement of changes in shares outstanding, the
consolidated financial highlights for the year, the consolidated schedules of
investments and the notes to the consolidated financial statements of Security
Capital U.S. Realty (the "Company") as of and for the year ended December 31,
1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Board of Directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Board of Directors of the Company in
preparing the consolidated financial statements, as well as evaluating the
overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the attached consolidated financial statements described above
give, in conformity with the legal requirements and United States generally
accepted accounting principles, a true and fair view of the financial position
of the Company at December 31, 1996 and of the results of its operations and
changes in its net assets for the year then ended.

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                              AT DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
NOTE 1--ORGANISATION
 
Security Capital U.S. Realty (the "Company") is a Luxembourg real estate
corporation organised as a "Societe d'Investissement a Capital Variable"
("SICAV"). The Company was formed on July 7, 1995 for the purpose of owning and
operating United States of America real estate primarily through companies in
which it has a strategic ownership position. The Company owns its assets
through its wholly owned Luxembourg subsidiary, Security Capital Holdings S.A.
("HOLDINGS"). All accounts of HOLDINGS have been consolidated with the Company
and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon
consolidation. References herein to USREALTY are to the consolidated entity
consisting of Security Capital U.S. Realty and Security Capital Holdings S.A.,
unless noted otherwise.
 
The Company expects to request shareholder approval in the first half of 1997
to convert to a Societe d'Investissement a Capital Fixe, which should not
materially alter the Company's operations or prospects.
 
NOTE 2--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States and with Luxembourg
regulatory requirements.
 
A. Market Value/Fair Value Basis of Presentation:
USREALTY accounts for its investments at market value or estimated fair value
(depending on whether the investment is publicly traded or not) as management
believes market/fair value more accurately reflects USREALTY's financial
position and results of operations as a real estate business. Thus, USREALTY's
investments in publicly traded companies are valued at market determined by
using closing market prices as of the balance sheet date. Investments in
private companies are valued at fair value generally determined at cost, or an
appropriate lower value if the investment is not progressing as envisioned. If
substantial additional capital is raised by the investee from independent third
parties in a private placement, then USREALTY values its investment at the
price at which that capital was raised when a substantial percentage of the new
subscriptions have been funded. Untraded convertible securities are carried at
their principal amount until convertible at an ascertainable value. The
CarrAmerica convertible preferred each are convertible into one share of
CarrAmerica common stock beginning April 1997, at which time they will be
reflected at their conversion value.
 
Under market/fair value accounting, unrealised gains or losses are determined
by comparing market/fair value of the securities held to the cost of such
securities. Unrealised gains or losses relating to changes in market/fair value
of USREALTY's investments are reported as a component of net earnings. Deferred
income taxes, if any, are recorded at the applicable statutory rate as the
estimate of taxes payable as if such gains were realised. Under current tax
laws, and in light of USREALTY's operating methods and plans, USREALTY's
investment gains generally are not subject to income taxes.
 
USREALTY's investments are generally long-term and USREALTY does not intend to
sell securities simply to realise gain thereon (other than in the case of
selected special opportunity investments).
 
At December 31, 1996, 17.1% of USREALTY's investments were private or untraded
securities valued at their fair value as determined by the Board of Directors,
using the methodology described above. This value may differ from the value
that would have been used had a trading market for these shares existed. The
valuation of assets assumes that any assets disposed of would be sold in an
orderly process; any forced sale of assets under short-term pressures, which is
not foreseen, could adversely affect realisable values.
 
B. Accounting for Investments and Income
All purchases and sales of publicly traded securities are recorded as of the
trade date (being the date that USREALTY's broker actually executes an order to
buy or sell). Purchases and sales of unlisted securities are recorded as of the
date the actual purchase or sale is completed. Dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date for each dividend declared by an issuer. Dividends
received are presented net of withholding taxes, which totalled $5.6 million
during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996. The withholding tax is stated
net of

           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
estimated refunds of $56,573. HOLDINGS is entitled to the refunds as the
withholding tax is not levied on the portion of dividends which is a return of
capital. Interest income (including interest on convertible subordinated
debentures issued by Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"))
is recorded on the accrual basis. Interest received is also stated net of
withholding taxes, of which there were none in 1996. Realised gains and losses
on sales of shares are determined on the average cost method.
 
C. Cash and Cash Equivalents
USREALTY considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
NOTE 3--INVESTMENTS
 
USREALTY will aim to have 65% to 85% of its assets deployed in strategic
ownership positions ("Strategic Investments"), and 10% to 35% invested in
special opportunity ownership positions, including up to 10% in securities of
Security Capital.
 
A. Strategic Investments
Strategic investments represent significant (minimum of 25% to a general
maximum of 49% of each issuer's fully diluted common stock outstanding) equity
ownership positions in public companies, or in private companies that will be
positioned to be taken public. With private companies which USREALTY sponsors,
it will frequently own substantially more than 50% of the voting shares until
such companies become publicly traded, at which time USREALTY's ownership will
begin to be diluted until it reaches 35% to 45% ownership levels. USREALTY will
be the largest shareholder of its strategic investees, have representation on
their Boards of Directors, and influence their operations and strategy.
Strategic investees are characterised by the perceived potential for a superior
market niche and the ultimate potential for market preeminence with a focused
strategy and product.
 
B. Special Opportunity Investments
(i) PUBLICLY-TRADED INVESTMENTS
 
"Publicly-Traded Investments" consist of ownership positions of less than 10%
of the fully diluted stock in publicly-traded United States real estate
investment trusts ("US REITS") and real estate companies. Publicly-traded
investments have and will take the form of either direct investments in, or
public market purchases of, shares of companies that USREALTY believes possess
the requisite fundamentals to generate strong cash flow growth and/or value
appreciation.
 
At December 31, 1996, USREALTY had $223.7 million (market value) of publicly-
traded investments in thirteen companies. From time to time, when deemed
appropriate, USREALTY may seek to increase a publicly-traded investment to a
strategic investment.
 
(ii) INVESTMENT IN SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED.
 
USREALTY has a Special Opportunity Investment in securities of Security Capital
which, through wholly owned subsidiaries, owned approximately 39.4% of
USREALTY's total subscribed shares at December 31, 1996 (and may from time to
time purchase further shares on the open market and in new USREALTY offerings)
and is the sole shareholder of USREALTY's Operating Advisor. The purpose of
this investment is to provide USREALTY with the benefit of exposure to specific
niches within the apartment and industrial real estate sectors, as well as the
diversification benefits of fee income through Security Capital's real estate
services and advisory activities. USREALTY intends to invest up to 10% of its
assets in securities of Security Capital. USREALTY's investments in such
securities will primarily be made in general offerings by Security Capital, on
the same terms and conditions as all other investors in such offerings. To a
lesser extent, USREALTY may negotiate purchases from independent third parties
on an arm's-length basis. When and if Security Capital becomes traded on a
recognised securities market, USREALTY may purchase Security Capital securities
from third parties in open-market transactions. At December 31, 1996, USREALTY
had funded $22.5 million (representing 10,724.5 common shares and $11.25
million principal amount of 6.5% convertible subordinated debentures due 2016)
out of a total commitment of $110 million. The remaining commitment is expected
to be funded in the first half of 1997.

NOTE 4--ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND PREPAYMENTS
 
A. Deferred Costs
The Company believes that minimising intangible assets makes the Company more
attractive to investors. Therefore, the unamortised portion of (i) costs
associated with the formation of USREALTY and its initial private placement,
and (ii) costs incurred in connection with arranging USREALTY's $300 million
line of credit, were written off in October 1996. Such amortised costs were
$3.7 million. Since October 1996, all costs of raising capital, including line
of credit increases, are expensed as incurred (an additional $1.1 million for
increasing the line of credit in 1996).
 
B. Accounts Receivable
The amounts included within accounts receivable and prepayments are as follows:

NOTE 6--ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OPERATING EXPENSES
 
USREALTY has an advisory agreement with Security Capital (EU) Management S.A.
(the "Operating Advisor"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital. This
agreement requires the Operating Advisor to provide USREALTY with advice with
respect to the investment of assets of USREALTY. The Operating Advisor has
agreed to identify tangible investment opportunities in U.S. real estate
companies and evaluate such companies' competitive positions, management
expertise, strategic direction, financial strength and their prospects for
long-term sustainable per share cash flow growth. The Operating Advisor will
also advise USREALTY on obtaining board and committee representation and
management rights. The agreement is for a two-year term expiring July 1997. The
agreement automatically renews for successive two-year periods unless either
party gives notice they will not renew. The Operating Advisor subcontracts for
certain services through its wholly-owned affiliate, Security Capital (UK)
Management Limited (based in London), and another Security Capital subsidiary,
Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated (based in Chicago). The
Operating Advisor is entitled to a management fee, payable quarterly, at an
annual rate of 1.25% of gross invested assets, excluding investments in
Security Capital securities and investments of short-term cash and cash
equivalents. The amounts accrued at December 31, 1996 represent two months'
fees. USREALTY pays its own third-party operating and administrative expenses
and transaction costs, provided that the Operating Advisor's fee will be
reduced to the extent that third-party operating and administrative expenses
(but not transaction costs) exceed 0.25% of assets, excluding Security Capital
securities, per annum. Such third-party operating and administrative costs were
0.19% per annum in 1996.

           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
 
USREALTY pays to the Custodian, Paying Agent, Domiciliary and Corporate Agent
as well as the Registrar and Transfer Agent, a fee in accordance with usual
practice in Luxembourg. Such fees are payable quarterly and are based on
USREALTY's gross assets.
 
NOTE 7--TAXATION
 
The Company, as separate from HOLDINGS, is not liable for any Luxembourg tax on
income. The Company is liable in Luxembourg for a capital tax of 0.06% per
annum of its net asset value. Cash dividends and interest received by the
Company or HOLDINGS on their investments may be subject to non-recoverable
withholding or other taxes in the countries of origin. U.S. withholding tax
rates of 15% were in effect for 1996. These are proposed to be increased to 30%
based on a new tax treaty; however, the proposed increase is the subject of
U.S. Senate committee review, and may not go into effect. If approved, the
increase would probably become effective January 1, 1999. Management does not
believe such an increase would materially adversely affect growth in net asset
value per share.
 
HOLDINGS, an ordinary corporate taxpayer under Luxembourg law, owns
substantially all of the consolidated group's interests in US REITs.
Corporations which are resident Luxembourg taxpayers are taxed on their
worldwide net income, determined on the basis of gross income less cost
incurred. Certain items of income and capital gains are excluded from the
calculation of income received for tax purposes, including income and capital
gains from certain investments which meet certain holding period (generally one
calendar year) and size requirements. HOLDINGS attempts to operate so as to
have the highest possible percentage of its investments qualify for the
exclusion. Interest accrued on advances from the Company to HOLDINGS are
deducted in determining HOLDINGS's taxable income.
 
Income paid from HOLDINGS to the Company is subject to various levels of tax.
Gross cash (but not accrued) interest payments from HOLDINGS to the Company,
which were $5,029,787 during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, are
subject to withholding tax at a rate of 3.75% (which totalled $188,617 for the
twelve months to December 31, 1996). No dividends were paid.

NOTE 8--LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, HOLDINGS, has a $400 million revolving
line of credit from a syndicate of European and international banks. The
earliest date on which this line of credit will expire is June 1999, subject to
annual extension with the consent of the lenders, but HOLDINGS has the right to
convert the then outstanding borrowings into a two-year term loan on that date,
with semi-annual amortisation payments to be made over the two-year period,
which effectively extends the final loan payment to June 2001. Borrowings bear
interest at the greater of United States prime or the federal funds rate plus
0.5% or, at HOLDINGS' option, LIBOR plus 1.75%. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee of 0.25% to 0.375% on the average undrawn balance of the line of
credit.
 
The amount of $2.99 million was paid to the syndicate of European and
international banks as arrangement and upfront fees as well as to cover the
costs of syndication.
 
The line of credit is secured by substantially all the assets of USREALTY.
HOLDINGS has pledged all securities owned by it as collateral for the line, and
the Company has guaranteed the line and pledged its shares in HOLDINGS as
collateral.

           NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
In February 1997, HOLDINGS received preliminary agreement from the lead lending
bank to increase the line of credit to $500 million and reduce the interest
rate to 1.50% over LIBOR, subject to certain conditions and approvals.
 
Average daily borrowings during the twelve months ended December 31, 1996 were
$84.9 million, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.18% per annum.
 
The line of credit requires USREALTY to continue to meet certain financial
covenants. At December 31, 1996, USREALTY was in compliance with all covenants.
 
NOTE 9--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
During the twelve months ended December 31, 1996, $987.3 million of equity
capital subscriptions were called by the Company and funded by investors. This
equity was partly raised through the completion of the funding of subscriptions
under the Company's initial $509.5 million private offering.
 
The equity was also raised through the June 1996 international public offering
where the Company accepted subscriptions for 22,244,420 shares: 13,112,000
shares through an underwritten public offering and 9,132,420 shares directly to
its principal shareholder, Security Capital. The Company contracted to receive
net proceeds per share of $10.95, equal to the net asset value per share on
June 26, 1996, the day the offering was priced. The transaction was closed on
July 2, 1996.
 
Additional equity was also raised through the November private offering where
the Company sold 24,115,805 shares. The Company contracted to receive net
proceeds per share of $12.32, equal to the net asset value per share on
November 15, 1996, the day the offering was priced. The transaction closed on
December 19, 1996.
